Intruder Detection Systems on Computer Networks Using Host Based Intrusion Detection System Techniques
Authors: Widodo Rio , Riadi Imam
Published: February 2021

The openness of access to information raises various problems, including maintaining the validity and integrity of data, so a network security system is needed that can deal with potential threats that can occur quickly and accurately by utilizing an IDS (intrusion detection system). One of the IDS tools that are often used is Snort which works in real-time to monitor and detect the ongoing network by providing warnings and information on potential threats in the form of DoS attacks. DoS attacks run to exhaust the packet path by requesting packets to a target in large and continuous ways which results in increased usage of CPU (central processing unit), memory, and ethernet or WiFi networks. The snort IDS implementation can help provide accurate information on network security that you want to monitor because every communication that takes place in a network, every event that occurs and potential attacks that can paralyze the internet network are monitored by snort.

The problem faced by farmers in Samarinda is the difficulties to know the condition of the chili plants when they are away from home or from the garden. Often times the farmer commutes from home to the garden just to monitor the condition of the plants, which reduces work effectiveness and takes a long time. Therefore, in this study a tool was made to measure soil moisture, temperature and soil pH based on the Internet of Things. The process of monitoring soil pH, soil moisture, and air temperature in chili plants using soil pH sensors, soil moisture sensors, and soil temperature sensors as well as Wemos / Arduino for data processing and sending analog data to the ANTARES platform. The result of this research is that soil condition data can be sent and read in real time through the ANTARES web application. Tool testing was carried out at 30 different locations in the city of Samarinda.

HIGHLIGHTS

A deep learning algorithm with an improved lightweight network was used to identify apple fruit.

Multiscale pooling was used to reduce the image size and enrich the features.

Compound scaling was used to scale the basic network.

The optimal compound scaling coefficient for apple identification was obtained with the WOA algorithm.

The proposed method achieved an average recognition precision rate of 94.43% and a speed of 0.051s.

ABSTRACT. Accurate fruit identification is the basis for automating the operation of orchard production. To better apply the identification model in mobile devices so that venue becomes a less restrictive factor for application, this study proposes an apple fruit identification method based on an improved lightweight network named “MobileNetV3-Small.” The whale optimization algorithm was introduced to improve the model by obtaining an optimal compound-scaling coefficient for the MobileNetV3-Small network. A multiscale pooling approach was used for fruit recognition, comprising operations such as lossless scaling and feature extraction on sample images. The obtained images were then inputted into the model for recognition and classification. The experimental process was conducted on an apple data set. The test results show that the multiclass average precision of apple recognition using this model was 94.43% and the running time of recognition was 0.051 s per image. Both indicators outperformed the control network models of “MobileNetV3-Small,” ResNet-50, and VGG-19. This model is 14.63% more accurate and 1.95 times quicker on average in identification than the next best model. These findings indicate that the method can realize high-efficiency and high-precision recognition of apples with high stability and portability, which lays a good foundation for the mechanization of repetitive operations such as orchard yield estimation, fruit labeling, and fruit picking. Keywords: Apple recognition, Compound scaling, Deep learning algorithm, Lightweight network, Yield estimation.
Inverse synthetic aperture ladar imaging based on modified cubic phase function
Authors: Gao Si , Zhang Zenghui , Yu Wenxian , Wu Manqing , Li Guangzuo
Published: February 2021

Inverse synthetic aperture imaging ladar (ISAL) can achieve high-resolution images, and yet it faces pulse-to-pulse high-order phase errors that the microwave radar can ignore. The high-order phase errors are almost caused by mechanical vibrations in general, which blur the azimuth focusing effect. This paper presents an ISAL imaging model to obtain high-resolution images. A novel modified cubic phase function (CPF) algorithm is proposed to compensate the additional high-order phase errors. Some high-resolution well-focused ISAL simulation images and real target images are shown to validate the methods. It is shown that the third-order phase errors are compensated by the distinctive digital signal process and the image entropy of real target images is reduced significantly.

Calibration of a CubeSat spectroradiometer with a narrow-band widely
tunable radiance source
Authors: van den Berg Steven , Dekker Paul , Otter Gerard , Páscoa Marcela Pelica , Dijkhuizen Niels
Published: February 2021

We have developed an SI-traceable narrow-band tunable radiance source
based on an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) and an integrating
sphere for the calibration of spectroradiometers. The source is
calibrated with a reference detector over the ultraviolet/visible
spectral range with an uncertainty of

<

1

%

. As a case study, a CubeSat
spectroradiometer has been calibrated for radiance over its operating
range from 370 nm to 480 nm. To validate the results, the instrument
has also been calibrated with a traditional setup based on a diffuser
and an FEL lamp. Both routes show good agreement within the combined
measurement uncertainty. The OPO-based approach could be an
interesting alternative to the traditional method, not only because of
reduced measurement uncertainty, but also because it directly allows
for wavelength calibration and characterization of the instrumental
spectral response function and stray light effects, which could reduce
calibration time and cost.

We examined 14 benign and 26 malignant breast nodules by a handheld dual-modal PA/US imaging system and analyzed the data using the quantitative and semi-quantitative method. The PA signal spatial density and PA scores of different regions of the benign and malignant nodules were compared, and the diagnostic performances of two diagnostic methods based on PA parameters were evaluated. For both quantitative and semi-quantitative results, significant differences in the distributions of PA signals in different regions of benign and malignant breast lesions were identified. The PA parameters showed good performance in diagnosing breast cancer, indicating the potential of PAI in clinical utilization.

Published: February 2021

With all the recent attention focused on big data, it is easy to overlook that basic vital statistics remain difficult to obtain in most of the world. What makes this frustrating is that private companies hold potentially useful data, but it is not accessible by the people who can use it to track poverty, reduce disease, or build urban infrastructure. This project set out to test whether we can transform an openly available dataset (Twitter) into a resource for urban planning and development. We test our hypothesis by creating road traffic crash location data, which is scarce in most resource-poor environments but essential for addressing the number one cause of mortality for children over five and young adults. The research project scraped 874,588 traffic related tweets in Nairobi, Kenya, applied a machine learning model to capture the occurrence of a crash, and developed an improved geoparsing algorithm to identify its location. We geolocate 32,991 crash reports in Twitter for 2012–2020 and cluster them into 22,872 unique crashes during this period. For a subset of crashes reported on Twitter, a motorcycle delivery service was dispatched in real-time to verify the crash and its location; the results show 92% accuracy. To our knowledge this is the first geolocated dataset of crashes for the city and allowed us to produce the first crash map for Nairobi. Using a spatial clustering algorithm, we are able to locate portions of the road network (<1%) where 50% of the crashes identified occurred. Even with limitations in the representativeness of the data, the results can provide urban planners with useful information that can be used to target road safety improvements where resources are limited. The work shows how twitter data might be used to create other types of essential data for urban planning in resource poor environments.

Collagen deposition contributes to both high mammographic density and breast cancer progression. Low stromal PTEN expression has been observed in as many as half of breast tumors and is associated with increases in collagen deposition, however the mechanism connecting PTEN loss to increased collagen deposition remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate thatPtenknockout in fibroblasts using anFsp-Cre;PtenloxP/loxPmouse model increases collagen fiber number and fiber size within the mammary gland.Ptenknockout additionally upregulatedSparctranscription in fibroblasts and promoted collagen shuttling out of the cell. Interestingly,SPARCmRNA expression was observed to be significantly elevated in the tumor stroma as compared to the normal breast in several patient cohorts. While SPARC knockdown via shRNA did not affect collagen shuttling, it notably decreased assembly of exogenous collagen. In addition, SPARC knockdown decreased fibronectin assembly and alignment of the extracellular matrix in anin vitrofibroblast-derived matrix model. Overall, these data indicate upregulation of SPARC is a mechanism by which PTEN regulates collagen deposition in the mammary gland stroma.

Objective

To date, no study has evaluated the detection rate of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in cause-of-death records in Europe. Our objectives were to compare the number of deaths attributable to HNSCC from two national databases in France and to identify factors associated with under-reporting of HNSCC in cause-of-death records.

Methods

The national hospital discharge database and the national underlying cause-of-death records were compared for all HNSCC-attributable deaths in adult patients from 2008 to 2012 in France. Factors associated with under-reporting of HNSCC in cause-of-death records were assessed using multivariate Poisson regression.

Results

A total of 41,503 in-hospital deaths were attributable to HNSCC as compared to 25,647 deaths reported in national UCoD records (a detection rate of 62%). Demographics at death were similar in both databases with respect to gender (83% men), age (54% premature deaths at 25–64 years), and geographic distribution. In multivariate Poisson regression, under-reporting of HNSCC in cause-of-death records significantly increased in 2012 compared to 2010 (+7%) and was independently associated with a primary HNSCC site other than the larynx, a former primary or second synchronous cancer other than HNSCC, distant metastasis, palliative care, and death in hospitals other than comprehensive cancer care centers. The main study results were robust in a sensitivity analysis which also took into account deaths outside hospital (overall, 51,129 HNSCC-attributable deaths; a detection rate of 50%). For the year 2012, the age-standardized mortality rate for HNSCC derived from underlying cause-of-death records was less than half that derived from hospital discharge summaries (14.7 compared to 34.1 per 100,000 for men and 2.7 compared to 6.2 per 100,000 for women).

Conclusion

HNSCC is largely under-reported in cause-of-death records. This study documents the value of national hospital discharge databases as a complement to death certificates for ascertaining cancer deaths.
Short birth spacing and its association with maternal educational status, contraceptive use, and duration of breastfeeding in Ethiopia. A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Damtie Yitayish , Kefale Bereket , Yalew Melaku , Arefaynie Mastewal , Adane Bezawit
Published: February 2021

Background

Closely spaced birth increases the risk of adverse maternal and child health outcomes. In Ethiopia, the prevalence of short birth spacing was highly variable across studies. Besides, contraceptive use, educational status, and duration of breastfeeding were frequently mentioned factors affecting short birth spacing. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of short birth spacing and its association with contraceptive use, educational status, and duration of breastfeeding among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia.

Methods

International databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane library, HINARI, and Global Health were searched systematically to identify articles reporting the prevalence of short birth spacing and its association with contraceptive use, educational status, and duration of breastfeeding among reproductive-age women in Ethiopia. The data were analyzed by STATA/SE version-14 statistical software. The random-effect model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of short birth spacing and the log odds ratio was used to determine the association. Moreover, egger’s test and I-squared statistics were used to assess publication bias and heterogeneity respectively.

Results

After reviewing 511 research articles, a total of nine articles with 5,682 study participants were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of short birth spacing in Ethiopia was 46.9% [95% CI: (34.7, 59.1)]. Significant heterogeneity was observed between studies (I2 = 98.4, p <0.001). Not using contraceptives [OR = 3.87, 95% CI: (2.29, 6.53)] and duration of breastfeeding < 24 months [OR = 16.9, 95%CI: (2.69, 106.47)] had a significant association with short birth spacing.

Conclusions

Although a minimum inter-pregnancy interval of two years was recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), significant numbers of women still practiced short birth spacing in Ethiopia. Duration of breastfeeding and non-use of contraceptives were factors significantly associated with short birth spacing. So, efforts should be made to improve breastfeeding practice and contraceptive utilization among women in Ethiopia.

Objective

To compare maternal complications and describe neonatal outcomes in women with severe preeclampsia at ≤ 26+0 weeks in two countries with different management policies: expectant management (Brazil) versus termination of pregnancy (France).

Methods

We conducted a retrospective comparative study by reviewing the medical records of women with severe preeclampsia at ≤ 26+0 weeks, from January 2010 to June 2018, in two centers: Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina, in Sao Paulo, Brazil (where medical abortion is forbidden in this indication) and Hôpital Antoine-Béclère, Clamart, France (where medical termination is accepted). We collected information on maternal characteristics, laboratory tests, maternal complications and fetal and newborn characteristics. We used Student’s t-test and the Mann-Whitney U nonparametric test to compare quantitative variables, and Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test to evaluate the associations between the qualitative variables.

Results

There was no between-group difference in maternal complications during hospitalization (p = 0.846). In Brazil, the rate of cesarean section was 66.7%, and 20% of patients had vertical incision. The rate of spontaneous fetal death was 35.6% and among the live-born infants 26.6% were discharged from hospital. In France, one patient had a cesarean section with vertical incision.

Conclusion

When comparing termination of pregnancy to expectant management in severe preeclampsia before 26 weeks, maternal complications were equivalent but maternal reproductive future might have been compromised in 20% of cases due to a higher risk of uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies for patients having classic cesarean (vertical incision). 26.6% of children survived the neonatal period when pregnancy was pursued, however we lack information on their long-term follow-up.

Aerosol exposure to eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) can trigger a lethal viral encephalitis in cynomolgus macaques which resembles severe human disease. Biomarkers indicative of central nervous system (CNS) infection by the virus and lethal outcome of disease would be useful in evaluating potential medical countermeasures, especially for therapeutic compounds. To meet requirements of the Animal Rule, a better understanding of the pathophysiology of EEEV-mediated disease in cynomolgus macaques is needed. In this study, macaques given a lethal dose of clone-derived EEEV strain V105 developed a fever between 2–3 days post infection (dpi) and succumbed to the disease by 6 dpi. At the peak of the febrile phase, there was a significant increase in the delta electroencephalography (EEG) power band associated with deep sleep as well as a sharp rise in intracranial pressure (ICP). Viremia peaked early after infection and was largely absent by the onset of fever. Granulocytosis and elevated plasma levels of IP-10 were found early after infection. At necropsy, there was a one hundred- to one thousand-fold increase in expression of traumatic brain injury genes (LIF, MMP-9) as well as inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (IFN-γ, IP-10, MCP-1, IL-8, IL-6) in the brain tissues. Phenotypic analysis of leukocytes entering the brain identified cells as primarily lymphoid (T, B, NK cells) with lower levels of infiltrating macrophages and activated microglia. Massive amounts of infectious virus were found in the brains of lethally-infected macaques. While no infectious virus was found in surviving macaques, quantitative PCR did find evidence of viral genomes in the brains of several survivors. These data are consistent with an overwhelming viral infection in the CNS coupled with a tremendous inflammatory response to the infection that may contribute to the disease outcome. Physiological monitoring of EEG and ICP represent novel methods for assessing efficacy of vaccines or therapeutics in the cynomolgus macaque model of EEEV encephalitis.
‘Racy of the soil’: Jason Sherlock, Gaelic games and the performance of Irishness as a racial identity
Authors: Nakase Justine
Published: February 2021

This article uses critical race and performance studies to analyse the Gaelic games as a racialized performance of Irish national identity. As a key project of the Irish Revival, the Gaelic games are not only one of the most popular sports in Ireland but have from their inception been used as a strategic performance of Irish identity. Historically, the Gaelic games allowed Irish athletes to embody an aspirational White masculinity; since then whiteness has become nearly synonymous with Irishness. Yet this conflation of race and nation has become increasingly problematic as the demographics of Ireland shift. While the Gaelic games are often lauded as a space for the integration of new migrant communities, the reception of minority ethnic Irish athletes reveals the limitations of this inclusion. Examining the career of Asian-Irish Gaelic footballer Jason Sherlock – arguably the first ‘superstar’ of the Gaelic games – this article argues that while Irish sport offers a performative space where exclusionary definitions of Irish identity can be challenged, these spaces are often conditional and constrained by larger attitudes around race and racism in the nation at large.
Performing geopower: Eile and border-fictioning
Authors: Mccloskey Paula , Vardy Sam
Published: February 2021

Since 2016 we have developed the Eile Project, a transdisciplinary investigation of the border in Ireland that centres around site-responsive performance and audio-visual films in a process and praxis that we call border-fictioning. Through this practice, we ask how the border might be differently understood, experienced, critiqued and altered through affective encounters in the artworks produced between bodies, the earth and sovereign power. In this article, we explore (somewhat experimentally) our notion of border-fictioning in the Eile Project, specifically through one of the piece’s ‘experiments’ (#3 Territories of Eile). We draw on a specific concept, that of geopower, and a specific diffractive method. Geopower, or the forces of the earth itself, allows us to comprehend and conceptualize the geo (earthly, material, affect, power) and the human (bio, anthropic, biopolitics, body, power) together in specific ways. A ‘diffractive’ methodology sees the production of knowledge and meaning as inextricably connected to (entangled with) the social and material practices of the world. The article offers a discussion of that which emerges from a ‘diffractive’ approach to border-fictioning in light of the concept of geopower. We show that geopower enables us to see the ways in which the Eile Project border-fictioning through performance and audio-visual film constitutes a particular kind of capitalization of the earth’s forces – radically different from those of capitalism and sovereign power, and potentially resistant to colonial histories, and suggests new alliances and imaginaries that allow us to work through the complex conditions of the border and partition in Ireland through the entanglement of human (anthropic) and earthly (non-human) concerns within the tensions of the Anthropocene.
Lecturers’ Training Needs in EMI Programmes: Beyond Language Competence
Authors: Piquer-Píriz Ana María , Castellano-Risco Irene Olga
Published: February 2021

This paper reports the results of an analysis of English as a Medium Instruction (EMI) lecturers’ training needs at a Spanish state university. In order to carry out this analysis, participants were asked to complete a quantitative questionnaire and participate in a survey with open questions adapted from Pérez-Cañado 2020). Both analysis tools explored the lecturers’ needs in relation to specific areas: linguistic competence, methodology, materials and resources, continuing professional development training and their overall rating of the EMI programme. The results show that, on the one hand, EMI teachers feel that their linguistic competence is sufficient to conduct classes in English. On the other hand, participants seem less confident as far as their methodological competence is concerned and call for more specific ongoing training. These findings are mostly in consonance with the results of other studies carried out in similar contexts (Dafouz 2018; Macaro et al. 2019; Pérez-Cañado 2020; Coelho in preparation) but they also provide some new insights which should be taken into consideration in the design of specific training programmes for lecturers involved in EMI in Higher Education.

The Rise of Exclusive Boarding Houses: Gentrifying Kampung Through New Wave of Urbanization in Jakarta
Authors: Kusumaningrum Dwiyanti , Anuraga Jalu Lintang Yogiswara , Hafsari Tria Anggita
Published: February 2021

This study discusses gentrification in Kampung Paseban caused by the urbanization of Jakarta. The aim of this study is to show how urban processes create gentrification in kampung, focusing on the rise of exclusive boarding houses and its consequence on social changes within Kampung Paseban in Central Jakarta. The analysis employs a qualitative approach that emphasizes the interpretation of the spatial and urban social changes in Kampung Paseban. The method consists of literature review, spatial mapping, in-depth interviews, and field observations. This study shows that the rise of exclusive boarding houses followed by the influx of middle-class migrants has created dualism in both the physical and social aspects of the kampung. The old kampung vibe in Kampung Paseban has now diminished and has been replaced by the emergence of exclusive boarding houses which has become ubiquitous since the 2000's. Gentrification has created a competitive environment in the local economy which causes struggles for the natives and the settlers. In terms of sociocultural impact, the existence of exclusive boarding houses that provide a more private space and are disconnected from the surrounding environment causes social interaction to become more less between the newcomers and the natives. This study shows how kampung copes with urban situations; creating a new social environment, which demonstrates urbanism within kampung.

Published: February 2021

The Hukaea-Laeya community has been established as a customic village inhabited by the ethnic of Mororene who still strongly believe in tumpuroo whose function is as a traditional healer. In terms of medical treatment, even until nowadays the people of Hukaea-Laeya still place a great trust in tumpuroo. The existence of tumpuroo is very closely related to the preservation of Moronenean traditional culture and health. This paper aimed to explain the traditional practices of tumpuroo with various values â€‹â€‹and perspectives and their influence on the preservation of tradition, especially spells. The study was conducted with the ethnographic method in Hukaea-Laeya with data collection techniques through observation and in-depth interviews. From the data analysis, it could be explained that tumpuroo had a strategic role in protecting Moronenean's public health from illness and disease. On the other hand, tumpuroo also became important actors in the effort to preserve local wisdom stored in medical spells. Moreover, when the concept and worldview about health was also connected with the process of preserving customs related to ancestral spirits and the transcendental  figures. The social health role of the tumpuroo could be enhanced by the government to encourage the promotion and development of health based on the capacity of local communities.
POLEMIK PERTANAHAN DI DAERAH ISTIMEWA YOGYAKARTA
Authors: Illiyani Maulida
Published: February 2021

The long history, strong culture and services of the Sultanate in the independence process are the main reasons why Yogyakarta is designated as a special region. There are five things regulated in the Privileges Law, one of which is land. The thing that is then interesting to study is how actually land arrangements in DIY (Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta) are. This paper was written using two sources, namely interviews and literature studies. Normatively, land regulation in DIY was derived in Perdais No.2 / 2017. With the sultan's big ambition to put in order and carry out a re-inventory which was claimed based on the Dutch heritage map. There are 13,226 lands in Sultan Ground and Pakualaman Ground which are targeted to be completed in the inventory by 2024. In contrast to other regions, there are three land regulatory agencies in Yogyakarta. Department of Land and City Spatial Planning, Panitikismo, and the National Land Agency. There have been several land conflicts in the implementation of the Sultanate Land control policy. Village land claims are part of the sultanate land. Eviction of traders in order to control the Sultan ground and non-native Chinese citizens are not allowed to own land in Yogyakarta. Based on the explanation above, the privileges of land management in fact still cause conflicts with the community and even the village government. So, this paper is interesting to discuss, because it raises a discourse that is included in the sacred realm of an established authority in Yogyakarta.
SEJARAH MIGRASI DAN EKSISTENSI MIGRAN ETNIS BUGIS DI PERANTAUAN
Authors: Heriyanti Lesti -
Published: February 2021

This study aims to analyze the history of migration and the existence of ethnic Bugis in Jambi Province. The results showed that: the history of Bugis ethnic migration to the Jambi region was a long history since the period after Indonesia became independent. The political and security turmoil after Indonesian independence encouraged Bugis ethnic to migrate to areas they considered safe and there were networks of Bugis ethnic communities in the region. The ecological adaptation process is carried out by ethnic Bugis because of differences in environmental conditions faced by environmental conditions in the area of origin. Bugis ethnics carry out a process of ecological adaptation that is different from the origin area with the aim of supporting efforts to develop livelihood systems overseas. The livelihood systems developed by Bugis ethnicity are related to intra-social fabric links and between ethnic Bugis communities that are overseas. Social capital in the lives of ethnic Bugis overseas makes it easier for them to develop a livelihood system, supports the process of adaptation to new environments overseas and is even able to encourage a number of individuals to own assets and control the overseas economy. The social capital involved also engages close social relations with other ethnic groups in overseas locations such as the ethnic Malays and ethnic Duano who are indigenous people in the Kuala Jambi region as well as other ethnic migrants who also migrate to the region.

New achievements in science, food technologies and medicine call for sounder, scientifically proven nutrition. Food must be functional being aimed at preventing numerous diseases, improving performance capacity and health. Cereals, in particular bakery and confectionery, have the highest potential to be modified to get functional properties. Currently the assortment of this daily food has been actively enlarged. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to improve the production technology of the national flour confectionery "Chak-chak" using biologically active raw materials of the Republic of Bashkortostan. As the result of the conducted studies the ratio of the main ingredients and biologically active raw materials (bee pollen, honey and oat talkan) in flour confectionery as well as production parameters are improved. Therefore, the developed product (chak-chak with bee products and oat talkan), having no analogues, can find its place among other flour confectionery goods.

Objective: Several cross-sectional studies have showed increased reportage of patients who are not aware of their disease conditions. This study therefore aimed at assessing the knowledge of patients about their diagnosis after visiting the doctors consulting rooms at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, Ghana.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenient sampling method involving consenting patients who were presenting to the OPD clinics within the time-frame. The research instrument used was an interviewer-administered structured questionnaire.

Results: A total of 440 patients were enrolled into the study with a mean age of 45.6518.08 years. The study population was slightly dominated by males who formed 55.5%. For other socio-demographic determinants, 86.8% were employed with 5.2% being health workers and most of them (91.8%) had had formal education. Only 34.1% enjoyed a consultation time of 30 minutes and above. Most of the patients (83%) were told their diagnosis, got an explanation and understood but then 17% were never told their diagnosis. Chi-square test showed that occupation, educational level, frequency of hospital visit and consultation time were associated with being told your diagnosis but no association was found between these factors and the understanding of their diagnosis.

Conclusion: The study revealed that most of the patients had an appreciable knowledge of the diagnosis together with its explanation However, a minority of them were not aware of their diagnosis and this indicates the need for nationwide educational interventions to improve doctor-patient interaction.
The Morbid Equation of Quantum Numbers
Authors: Dongfang XD
Published: February 2021

The quantum model of valence electron generation orbital penetration of alkali metal elements with unique stable structure is investigated. The electric field outside the atomic kernel is usually expressed by the Coulomb field of the point charge mode, and the composite electric field in atomic kernel can be equivalent to the electric field inside the sphere with uniform charge distribution or other electric fields without divergence point. The exact solutions of two Schrödinger equations for the bound state of the Coulomb field outside the atom and the binding state of the equivalent field inside the atom determine two different quantization energy formulas respectively. Here we show that the atomic kernel surface is the only common zero potential surface that can be selected. When the orbital penetration occurs, the law of conservation of energy requires that the energy level formulas of the two bound states must have corresponding quantum numbers to make them equal. As a result, there is no solution to the quantum number equation, indicating that the two quantum states of the valence electron are incompatible. This irreconcilable contradiction shows that the quantized energy of quantum mechanics cannot absolutely satisfy the law of conservation of energy.
Perinatal Exposure to low Protein Diets Perturbs some Ovarian Genes Critical to Reproductive Health from One Generation to Another
Authors: Nosarieme Abey
Published: February 2021

The maintenance of fertility status critically depends on the proper functioning of the ovary, which is also a reflect of normal development of ovarian follicles. Malnourished males and females have been scientifically proven to form a major infertile population in developing countries. Proper nutrition therefore forms a baseline for functional reproductive makeup. This study seeks to assess the mRNA expression level of ovarian inhibin alpha (IHA), Estrogen receptor (ERα), Aromatase, CCAAT-enhancer binding protein alpha (CEBPA) and Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 1 (FGFR1) in the F
0 and F
1 rat progeny subjected to perinatal dietary protein deficiency. Rats in four (4) groups were fed different grade of protein deficient diets (5%, 10%, 21% protein diets and rat chow). Total RNA was extracted from the snap frozen ovary excised from the different rat groups, checked for quality, converted the cDNA and RT-qPCR was used to quantify amount of each mRNA expressed in the tissue. Result shows severe alteration in the level of expression of some of the key genes assessed essential for sustenance of reproductive health from one generation to another. Inhibin alpha was downregulated while CEBPA was upregulated in 5%PD groups at F
1 and F
2, ERα was downregulated only at first generation but normalized in the second generation. Aromatase in the 10% group was upregulated at F
1 and F
2 generation, while in the 5%PD, it was downregulated only at F
2. These modulations mediate the effects of dietary protein deficiency on the ovarian and reproductive function from one generation to another.
Relativistic Equation Failure for LIGO Signals
Authors: Dongfang XD
Published: February 2021

Signal waves of the monotone increasing frequency detected by LIGO are universally considered to be gravitational waves of spiral binary stars, and the general theory of relativity is thus universally considered to have been confirmed by the experiments. Here we present a universal method for signal wave spectrum analysis, introducing the true conclusions of numerical calculation and image analysis of GW150914 signal wave. Firstly, numerical calculation results of GW150914 signal wave frequency change rate obey the com quantization law which needs to be accurately described by integers, and there is an irreconcilable difference between the results and the generalized relativistic frequency equation of the gravitational wave. Secondly, the assignment of the frequency and frequency change rate of GW10914 signal wave to the generalized relativistic frequency equation of gravitational wave constructs a non-linear equation group about the mass of wave source, and the computer image solution shows that the equation group has no GW10914 signal wave solution. Thirdly, it is not unique to calculate the chirp mass of the wave source from the different frequencies and change rates of the numerical relativistic waveform of the GW150914 signal wave, and the numerical relativistic waveform of the GW150914 signal wave deviates too far from the original waveform actually. Other LIGO signal waveforms do not have obvious characteristics of gravitational frequency variation of spiral binary stars and lack precise data, so they cannot be used for numerical analysis and image solution. Therefore, LIGO signals represented by gw50914 signal do not support the relativistic gravitational wave frequency equation. However, whether gravitational wave signals from spiral binaries that may be detected in the future follow the same co quantization law? The answer is not clear at present.
A Novel Computer Algorithm for Automating Nano-Scale Thickness Identification of 2D Materials
Authors: Xu Enoch
Published: February 2021

Atomically thin 2D materials such as graphene promise great innovation in the electronics industry. However, these promises have stayed unfulfilled due to the lack of commercial 2D material production. There is currently no scalable and no economical way to identify the thicknesses of 2D materials reliably. Traditionally, Raman spectroscopy or atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to measure the nanoscale (1-10 atom) thicknesses of 2D materials. These processes have many limitations because they require expensive equipment, are highly time-consuming, and only provide data for a single point on the sample. This paper presents a cheap and scalable solution that uses optical microscopy images to identify thicknesses. Two significant challenges need to be overcome to make this method feasible. Firstly, color temperatures and lighting intensities vary between different cameras and microscope setups. Secondly, the atomic-scale thicknesses of 2D materials translate into a very low contrast ratio between the 2D material and the substrate. This paper addresses these two challenges with novel computer vision and color normalization techniques. The methods accuracy was verified by comparing its results with measurements from Raman spectroscopy. It reliably calculates thicknesses with a single compressed jpg image, making it drastically faster and cheaper than traditional methods. The algorithm can be applied to any 2D material stack combination and adapt to any microscope setup, regardless of camera type and light color temperature. Furthermore, while the Raman spectrometer uses a laser to measure a single points thickness, the new method provides insight into the topography of the entire material surface. All these advancements pave the way for industrial-scale production of 2D materials.
The Buoyant Brain

Published: February 2021

CSF is believed to provide a buoyancy medium to protect the brain against trauma and to reduce its weight. However, the origin of this belief, how this buoyancy works and its implications in various CSF disorders have not got enough attention in the literature.

This study aimed to review the literature for the previous works that investigated the buoyancy environment of the brain. By applying the laws of buoyancy to the intracranial system, possible explanations of the common CSF disorders were suggested and compared to the current knowledge.
Study of gravitational constant and mercury's precession from perspective of physical aesthetics and ideal fluid
Authors: Li Yun-Gang , Li Cheng-Shu
Published: February 2021

Newton's law of universal gravitation does not explain Mercury's orbit anomalous precession, and gravitational constant G values measured by different research teams do not coincide. This paper studied universal gravitation from a physical aesthetics and ideal fluid perspective, derived new formula for calculating the exact G value by using the speed of light in vacuum with formulas for error correction, and verified by experimental results of other scientists. This provides another explanation for Mercury's anomalous precession, which is completely different from Einstein's general relativity. Conclusion is that G equals 1/(16πc) and Mercury's anomalous precession equals 43"/cy should not be the evidence for prove Einstein's general relativity is correct. In addition, an experimental plan is proposed for the space agency to further verify who is right.
