Differential expression of the DREAM MuvB core complex component Lin37 in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: October 2020

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding the MuvB core complex and DREAM component Lin37 when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. Expression of Lin37 in primary tumors of the breast was significantly higher than in normal breast tissue, and patients with low expression of Lin37 in primary tumors had greater relapse-free survival. Lin37 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
Pandangan Eklesiologi Calvin mengenai Politik Praktis dalam Pelayanan Gereja

Published: October 2020

Abstract: This article discusses the inclusion of Calvin’s exclusion of politics in practical churchservice of the Calvin Chruch and state (politicos) as two things that the Lord allows for attending tolife in the world, but both church and state (politics) both have different duties and responsibilitieswhile also helping one another. There’s basically no supremarcy between the two. But what matters iswhen politics blends with service in the church, in another sense the church becomes the vehicle forpolitics. This is what they call a practical political activity. Where both personal and politicalinterests have made the church a tool for sustaining support. This is made the church lose its identityas salt and the light of the world.Keywords: church; ecclesiology; ecclesiology of Calvin; practical politicsAbstrak: Artikel ini membahas mengenai pandangan Eklesiologi Calvin Mengenai Politik Praktisdalam pelayanan Gereja. Dalam Eklesiologi Calvin gereja maupun negara (politik) merupakan duahal yang diijinkan Tuhan untuk hadir dalam kehidupan di dunia, akan tetapi baik gereja maupunnegara (politik) keduanya memiliki tugas dan tanggung jawab yang berbeda walaupun juga salingmenolong satu dengan yang lain. Pada dasarnya tidak ada supremasi antara keduanya. Namun yangmenjadi persoalan ketika politik bercampur aduk dengan pelayanan di dalam gereja, dalam arti yanglain gereja menjadi kendaraan bagi politik. Inilah yang dinamakan dengan kegiatan politik praktis,dimana kepentingan pribadi maupun kelompok partai politik menjadikan gereja sebagai alat untukmencari dukungan. Hal ini membuat gereja kehilangan jati diri/identitas sebagai garam dan terangdunia.Kata kunci: eklesiologi; eklesiologi Calvin; gereja; politik praktis
Leucine-rich repeat neuronal 3, LRRN3, is differentially expressed in non-small cell lung cancer and associates with patient survival.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: October 2020

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States (1). We mined published microarray data (2, 3, 4) to identify differentially expressed genes in NSCLC. We found that the gene encoding the leucine-rich repeat neuronal 3, LRRN3, was among those whose expression was most different in human NSCLC tumors as compared to the lung. LRRN3 expression levels were significantly decreased in NSCLC tumors as compared to the lung, and lower expression of LRRN3 in patient tumors was significantly associated with worse overall survival. LRRN3 may be important for initiation or progression of non-small cell lung cancer in humans.

How young children integrate information sources to infer the meaning of words
Authors: Bohn Manuel , Tessler Michael Henry , Merrick Megan , Frank Michael C.
Published: October 2020

Before formal education begins, children typically acquire a vocabulary of thousands of words. This learning process requires the use of many different information sources in their social environment, including including their current state of knowledge and the context in which they hear words used. How is this information integrated? We specify a developmental model according to which children consider information sources in an age-specific way and integrate them via Bayesian inference. This model accurately predicted 2-to-5 year-old children’s word learning across a range of experimental conditions in which they had to integrate three information sources. Model comparison suggests that the central locus of development is an increased sensitivity to individual information sources, rather than changes in integration ability. This work presents a developmental theory of information integration during language learning and illustrates how formal models can be used to make a quantitative test of the predictive and explanatory power of competing theories.
Warm (for Winter): Inferring comparison classes for gradable adjectives
Authors: Tessler Michael Henry , Goodman Noah D.
Published: October 2020

The meaning of an utterance can change depending on the context. Yet, what counts as context is often only implicit in everyday conversation. The utterance “it’s warm outside” signals that the temperature outside is relatively high, but the temperature could be high relative to a number of different comparison classes: other days of the year, other weeks, other seasons, etc. Theories of context-sensitive language use agree that the comparison class is a crucial feature of meaning understanding, but little is known about how a listener decides upon a comparison class. We extend a Bayesian model of pragmatic reasoning to be able to reason flexibly about the comparison class intended by the speaker and test the qualitative predictions of this model using a large-scale free-production experiment. We then quantitatively synthesize the model and data using Bayesian data analysis, which further reveals that usage frequency and a preference for basic-level categories are two main contributors to comparison class inference. The methods and results we present open the door to studying richer aspects of context-sensitive language understanding.
Solvitur Ambulando: Why Humans Walk Extraordinary Distances Together Serving Abstract Ends
Authors: O'Mara Shane
Published: October 2020

Human walking is a socially-embedded and shaped biological adaptation: it frees our hands, make our minds mobile and is deeply health-promoting. Yet, today, physical inactivity is an unsolved, major public health problem. However, globally, tens of millions of people annually undertake ancient, significant, and enduring traditions of physiologically- and psychologically-arduous walks (pilgrimages) of days-to-weeks extent. Pilgrim walking is celebrated, discussed, and analysed in important literary, historical, and religious works as a defining human activity: one requiring weighty commitments of time, action, and belief, as well as community support. Paradoxically, human walking is most studied on treadmills, not ‘in the wild’. While mechanistically vital, treadmill studies of walking cannot, in principle, address why humans walk extraordinary distances together for abstract ends, or provide the means to bring much-needed physical activity back into our everyday lives.Pilgrim walkers provide a rich ‘living laboratory’ bridging literary, historical, and religious inquiries, to progressive theoretical and empirical investigations of human walking serving abstract ends. Pilgrims offer advantages for causal investigations: they vary demographically, and they undertake arduous journeys on precisely-mapped routes of tracked, titrated, doses and durations on terrain of varying difficulty, allowing controlled investigations from molecular to cultural levels of analysis. Here, using a novel, naturalistic, framework, we examine how pilgrim walking might shape personal, social, and transcendental processes, revealing potential mechanisms supporting the socially-embedded body and brain in motion, and beyond, to how pilgrim walking might offer some potential solutions for physical inactivity in society at large.

Brain activity during walking in older adults: Implications for compensatory versus dysfunctional accounts.
Authors: Fettrow Tyler , Hupfeld Kathleen , Tays Grant , Clark David J , Reuter-Lorenz Patricia , Seidler Rachael
Published: October 2020

A prominent trend in the functional brain imaging literature is that older adults exhibit increased brain activity compared to young adults to perform a given task. This phenomenon has been extensively studied for cognitive tasks, with the field converging on interpretations described in two alternative accounts. One account interprets over-activation in older adults as reflecting neural dysfunction, whereas another interprets it as neural compensation. Here we review studies that have recorded brain activity and walking measurements in older adults, and we categorize their findings as reflecting either neural dysfunction or neural compensation. Based on this synthesis, we recommend including multiple task difficulty levels in future work to help differentiate if and when compensation fails as the locomotion task becomes more difficult. Using multiple task difficulty levels with neuroimaging will lead to a more advanced understanding of how age-related changes in locomotor brain activity fit with existing accounts of brain aging and support the development of targeted neural rehabilitation techniques.
Bayesian Inference for the A/B Test: Example Applications with JASP (Master Thesis)
Authors: Hoffmann Tabea
Published: October 2020

Data-driven decision-making is on the cutting edge of web development endeavors. Here we compare different approaches to the A/B test; a procedure to compare the success frequencies of two website versions. We demonstrate how Bayesian A/B tests allow practitioners to address various questions concerning the difference between two sample proportions. With the proposed analyses, practitioners can monitor and quantify their uncertainty as data accumulate. Additionally, the endorsed analysis approach allows to include prior knowledge on the plausibility of competing hypotheses and about the expected effect size. We describe the A/B test analysis making use of JASP with a data set that was collected on an online learning platform.
Does the association between flows of people and crime differ across crime types in Sweden?
Authors: Gerell Manne
Published: October 2020

Places with persistently high levels of crime, hot spots, are an important object of study. To some extent the high levels of crime at such hot spots are likely to be related to flows of people. City center locations with large flows of people are quite often also hot spots, e.g. hot spots for pick pocketing at a central train station, or hot spots for assault in the nightlife district. This can be related to crime pattern theory, or to the routine activity perspective, which both suggest that flows of people can affect crime. The present study attempts to explore and quantify whether there are differences in the association between flows of people and crime for different crime types. The analysis considers locations with high crime counts for six crime types in the city of Malmö, Sweden. For each crime type, hot spots are identified and mapped, and in order to explore whether, or how, these are related to flows of people, the crime levels are then analyzed in relation to the number of people who boarded a local bus (N=33,134,198) nearby. The paper shows that all six crime types are associated with flows of people, although less so for arson and vandalism. This is hypothesized to be due to the relatively constant target availability for these crimes as opposed to the other crime types studied.

Brain and Spine Foundation Nepal is a not-for profit organization registered (Registration No. 226156/076/077) on 13th Ashwin 2076. The Foundation aims to work with all those involved in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of brain and spine disorders and diseases. One of the guiding principle of the foundation is dissemination of medical information related to these diseases.

In Nepal, there are two neurosurgical journals being regularly published Nepal Journal of Neuroscience (NJNS, ISSN 1813-1948), official journal of Nepalese Society of Neurosurgeons (NESON) and Eastern Green Neurosurgery (EGN, ISSN 2705-4470), published by Department of Neurosurgery, B and C Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Birtamode. NJNS is being published since January 2004 and EGN is being published since April 2019. However these journals accept articles mainly from neurologists and neurosurgeons.

The objective of any journal is to provide information about various research projects, interaction with own fraternity and to publish scientific articles of research and clinical practice. We at the Foundation believe that the neurological problems should be tackled with multidimensional probe. We focus on awareness programs, information dissemination and involve other healthcare workers like physiotherapists, physiatrists, neuro nurses, emergency physicians, neuro-anaesthesiologists, pain physicians etc. We aim to publish this journal twice a year, on March and on September.

We request all healthcare workers who take care of brain and spine patients to send articles related to their work. You can send case reports, review articles and original articles for publication in this journal.

Using Expected Geometric Values to Calculate the Cost of Interest in Hyper-inflationary Environments: the Case of Venezuela
Authors: Query J. Tim , Cruz Evaristo Diz
Published: October 2020

It is of vital importance to explore the relationship between pensions and inflationary levels because this forms a link between social policy and economic development in the context of Venezuela’s challenging economy and its impact on the development of pension systems. With such rampant inflation, companies must adjust the rates of salary increases to avoid a significant decrease in the purchasing power of income from defined benefit plans. Our research seeks to find the possibility of using an average geometric rate of future interest rates expressed as an expected value to discount obligations. Consequently, the cost of interest associated with the actuarial liability of the Benefit plans increases substantially in the next fiscal period to the actuarial valuation, sometimes compromising its sustainability over time. In order to minimize this problem, two scenarios for calculating the interest rate are proposed to smooth out this volatile effect; both are based on a geometric average with the expectation of working life or with the duration of the obligations. We are careful to use a reasonable interest rate that is not so high as to compromise the cash flow, resulting in skewed annual results of the companies. Our research seeks to find the possibility of using an average geometric rate of future interest rates expressed as an expected value to discount obligations. We formulate and actuarially evaluate two different scenarios, based on job expectations and Macaulay's duration, of the obligations that allow the sustainability of the plan in an environment of extremely high inflation. To illustrate the impact of the basic annual expenditure of the period, the results of an actuarial valuation of an actual Venezuelan company were utilized. Despite some companies adjusting their book reserves increasingly through a geometric progression, the amounts associated with the costs of interest would be huge in any such adjustment pattern. Therefore, we suggest adoption of one of the alternatives described in the research.
Relationship between trading volume, stock return and return volatility: A case of Nepalese insurance companies
Authors: Acharya Niraj , Pradhan Sumit
Published: October 2020

This study examines the factors affecting the share price of Nepalese non-life insurance companies. The knowledge of the factors and their possible impact on share prices is highly appreciable as it would help investors make wise investment decisions and enable firms to enhance their market value. This study is based on secondary data of 15 non-life insurance companies which are listed in Nepal stock exchange. The study covers seven years period from the fiscal year 2011/12 to 2017/18. The result shows that firm size is positively related to market price of share and price earnings ratio. It indicates that larger firm size leads to increase in market price of share and price earnings ratio. However, the study shows that inflation is negatively related to market price of share and price earnings ratio. The study also shows that dividend per share and return on assets are negatively related to the market price of share and price earnings ratio. Similarly, earnings per share have negative relationship with market price of share and price earnings ratio. The study concludes that the increase in return on assets and earnings per shares do not explain the variation in stock price in Nepalese non-life insurance companies. Nepal is one of the emerging economy; the determinants identified may provide knowledge to the potential investors about the key factors affecting share prices in the country and accordingly assist them in optimizing their investment strategy.

Authors: Shrestha Indira
Published: October 2020

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the glass ceiling (GC) on women’s career development (WCD)in Nepalese commercial banks. One hundred and forty-four women branch managers working in different branches were taken as the sample. The study used a survey questionnaire (17 items) derived from women workplace culture questionnaire (WWC) (Bergman and Hallberg,2002) for measuring glass ceiling, used as an independent variable in the study. Additionally, a career satisfaction questionnaire developed by (Greenhaus, Parasuraman, and Wormley1990) was used to measure WCD (dependent variable).The statistical tools like Pearson correlation and regression analysis were applied to find the result of quantitative data. The result revealed that there is an existence of GC in commercial banks in Nepal and the negative relationship between GC and the WCD along with the impact of the corporate climate on the WCD. Some limitations of the study have been found and implications and recommendation for the future researchers are also discussed.

Authors: Shrestha Prakash
Published: October 2020

Leadership and leaders matters effectively and confidently effect on outcomes ofthe organization. Certain leadership characteristics and qualities are important to improve leadership effectiveness and organizational performance. This study is based on two major qualities of leadership such as relationship-oriented and task-oriented. Developing others, supporting team, identifying the pain and interpersonal skills were taken as dependent variables of relationship-oriented qualities. Likewise, developing self, business acumen, commitment, pursuit of excellence and accountability/focus were taken as dependent variables of task oriented qualities. It was concerned with the managerial qualities of managers working in financial institutions of Nepal (including three commercial banks, three development banks, three finance companies, and three insurance companies). In total 60 managers (5 of each organization) and 120 (10 of each organization) were the respondents. Their opinions were used for analysis purposes in this study. The Likert-scale questionnaire was used as the tool for data collection. It was composed of five points showing 5 represents strongly agree to 1 indicates strongly disagree. The empirical results of this study indicated that on the basis of relationship-oriented, "identifying the pain" was the most desirable quality of leaders (managers) by employees whereas on the basis of task-oriented, “pursuit of excellence" was the most desirable quality of leaders (managers) from employee perspective of the financial institutions of Nepal. Based on managers ‘perspective, the most desirable quality of leaders was "interpersonal skills" in terms of relationship-oriented leadership qualities, whereas in terms of task oriented qualities, the most desirable quality of leaders by the manager was" commitment". The leadership qualities are best while targeting to accomplish the organizational task on time.
Relationship between Treasury bill rate and NEPSE index in Nepal
Authors: Gurung Rajesh
Published: October 2020

This study has examined the relationship between 91-days Treasury bill rate and NEPSE Index with the use of annual time series data taken from Mid-July1994 to Mid-July 2018 in the context of Nepal. Time series are stationary at first differenced and they are co integrated in order 1, i.e., I (1). Error Correction Model (ECM) confirms the long-run causality from 91-days Treasury bill rate (INT) to NEPSE Index (IND) at 5 percent level and long-run causality from IND to INT at 10 percent level. This bi-directional causality implies that the interest rate policy of Nepal Rastra Bank considerably influences in the stock market performances in long-run as well as the investors’ decisions in choices between stock market and bank deposits. This finding justifies the theoretical underpinning of impact of cost of capital in business investment decisions and demand for and supply of securities in capital markets. However, Wald statistics for joint short-term coefficients of variables under the interest does not support for shortruncausality between them. This finding justifies the theoretical underpinning that low cost of capital crucially linked to create the demand for and supply of securities through business investment opportunities. Higher interest rate, in other hand, not only discourage the businesses to use credit but also stimulate investors to switch to bank deposits causing decline in stock prices.

Graduate Transitions
Authors: Stouck Jordan , Walter Lori
Published: October 2020

This exploratory study researches the experiences of Canadian graduate students as they pursue writing tasks for their degree. It also explores the supports currently utilized by such students and the need for additional supports. The research uses a case study design based on qualitative focus group interviews to provide detailed information regarding graduate students’ perceived experiences with their academic writing tasks and available supports. The approach is informed by academic literacy theory. Graduate students who participated in this study identified a transition in voice, increased pressure to publish and professionalize, and misalignments between their own and supervisory and institutional expectations, which resulted in some interrogation of institutional norms. They utilized Writing Centre, online and supervisory supports, but called for additional ongoing and peer support. The study has implications for the development of new, collaborative and peer-based writing supports, as well as identifying future research areas related to interdisciplinary degrees.

STUDENT REPRESENTATIONS ON THE USE AND INFLUENCE OF ICT IN THE ENGINEERING STUDY
Authors: Miná V.
Published: October 2020

This work presents the initial findings of the research “Self-regulated learning in Engineering students from the Army Engineering College (FIE)". The sample of this study was made up of students from the 2016 cohort. Zimmerman's cyclical model of "self-regulation of learning" is the main theoretical reference of this research since it allows the understanding of the processes that take place in the control of: thoughts , feelings, motivations and actions to achieve the learning objectives. It was found that for the achievement of this self-regulation in their learning a resource that they use as academic support is Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Access to the same YouTube channels and websites is similar among students. The interviewees unanimously mentioned a distinctive human trait of this faculty: the closeness and familiarity in the treatment between teachers and students. This trust is what drives them to interact freely with their teachers and allows them to raise questions and concerns through different communication channels. In summary, human communication and the effective presence of teachers enhance the use of ICTs, since they ultimately provide feedback and benefit students in accessing comprehension strategies that contribute to their academic self-regulation.

Published: October 2020

When getting acquainted with the ethnic traditions of the peoples of Yakutia, special attention should be paid to the national culture of the evens as a small indigenous people of the North. Cultural and ethnographic features of Yakutia are one of the most important resources for the development of tourism. The main purpose of the work is to consider the potential of ethnic tourism on the example of the village of Sebyan-Kuel in the Кobyai district of Yakutia. The following specific ethnographic methods are used: the method of included observation and indepth interview. The result was that in this remote mountains of the Verkhoyansk ridge preserved the original culture of the local group Lamynkhinsky Evens, which is a unique, non-commodity, and, consequently, an inexhaustible resource for the economy, social and cultural development of the nasleg. In our opinion, the area of Lamynkhinsky nasleg can become one of the most popular tourist destinations due to its uniqueness in ethnic and extreme, ecological, hunting and fishing types of tourism.

Published: October 2020

Presented the results of evaluation of structural connection, identity and interchangeability of main asymmetric types of theoretical distributions most often acceptable for assessing the distributions of various indicators in geology and technology. The method of empirical analysis and statistical inference was used with the involvement of nonparametric facts according to the distribution patterns. The analysis of the empirical results of the application of the lognormal, gamma distribution and the Weibull distribution with the involvement of extensive statistical data from literary and research sources is carried out. The characteristic features and statistical regularities of distributions inherent to them are revealed, estimated statistical conclusions are obtained, according to which structural relationships between the functions of the lognormal, gamma and Weibull distributions are revealed. The identity and authenticity of the development of probabilistic frequencies in their application have been established, the complex geometric "image" of asymmetry inherent to these types of distributions is generalized. Structural relationships and interchangeability of asymmetric types of distributions are recommended to increase the reliability and credibility of the estimated choice of distribution in conditions of uncertainty and insignificance of statistical data when solving problems associated with forecasts, technological and computer developments.
Palaeoneurology and the Emergence of Language
Authors: Mounier A. , Noûs C. , Balzeau A.
Published: October 2020

The origin of language has been much debated over the years. Recent research has centred the controversies on two main ideas. Language, as defined by the Basic Property formulated by Chomsky, is a characteristic unique to Homo sapiens that developed in our species in the past 300,000 years. Other scientists argue that the Basic Property is a derived characteristic shared with other hominin species, such as H. neanderthalensis and the last common ancestor of both modern humans and Neandertals, which evolved over a long period of time, perhaps as long as two million years. Palaeoneurology, which studies the phenotype of the brain in past populations, may have left this complex topic aside because of the difficulty of deducing brain morphology from endocasts (imprints of the neurocranium) and inferring function from brain morphology. In this article, we review the various hypotheses on the evolution of language, highlighting the potential of palaeoneurology to help understand this complex aspect of human evolution, and provide an updated interpretation of previously published endocranial phenotypic data from fossil populations. This brings additional support to a long chronology framework for the origin of language in the hominin lineage: the basic property for modern language may have been in place from the last common ancestor of H. sapiens and H. neanderthalensis.

An initial survey that had been done  found that the location of the settlement where residents of cipayung lived was very close to the location of the Cipayung Landfill. The unhealthy environment tended to cause disease and any other health problems, so that efforts needed to be made to overcome this, one effort that could be done is training on health . This counseling activity was attended by 21 residents living in the village of West Bulak which is the closest residential location to the Cipayung landfill site. Wilcoxon test results on the pre-test and post-test scores of participants showed a P- value of 0.001 which means that there were differences in the level of knowledge of the participants after attending counseling. The average value of pre-test and post-test had a difference of 34.5 shows that counseling that has been carried out is able to increase knowledge.

This study evaluates the demand for truck-only toll lanes on Southern California freeways with owner–operator truck drivers. The study implemented the stated preference survey method to estimate the value placed by drivers on time, reliability, and safety measures using various scenarios geared towards assessing those values. The project team met face-to-face with owner- operator truck drivers near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to understand the drivers’ perspectives regarding truck-only toll lanes on Southern California freeways. A data set containing 31 survey responses is obtained and used for statistical data analysis using analysis of variable (ANOVA) and two sample t-tests. The analysis results showed that 75.27% of the owner– operator truck drivers responded are willing to pay toll fees when they choose routes. The tolerated average toll fees are $13.77/ hr and $12.82/hr for weekdays and weekends, respectively. The analysis results also showed that owner–operator truck drivers will take truck-only toll lanes when they take the routes used in four comparisons out of six comparisons according to the three measures such as values of time, reliability, and safety, despite sharing a common origin and destination. The highest toll fee per mile on any day that drivers are willing to pay when the main factor being compared is value of time is $0.31/mile or $18.35/hr. The toll fees associated with reliability and safety measures are $0.30/mile or $8.94/hr and $0.22/mile or $11.01/hr, respectively. These results are meaningful for legislators and transportation agencies as the behaviors and route choice characteristics of owner–operator truck drivers help them better understand the utility and demand for truck-only toll lanes.

The efficacy of Capsicum annum fruits and Allium sativum cloves methanolic crude extracts were evaluated on field for the control of Aphis craccivora attacking cowpea plants. Two cowpea genotypes (IAR-48 and IT97K-499-35) were planted separately in a randomized block design, for a cowpea genotype an experimental plots measured 5m x 3m with 1.5m space between plots was demarcated. The plot contained four subplots each measured 1.67m x 3m and replicated three times, given the total of twelve subplots. Within a subplot are three pairs of ridges (70cm apart) tallied with the three different concentrations (200, 600 and 1000ppm) for the plant extracts treatments application. Plant extract treatments along side with synthetic chemical insecticide (Magic force) as positive control were applied to the subplots using Knapsack sprayer 15 days after sowing. The results showed that the population scores of A. craccivora after treatments application on susceptible genotype IAR-48 was reduced significantly (p <0.05) when compared with untreated control subplot. The least population scores of this insect on genotype IAR-48 was recorded in plants treated with A. sativum at 600ppm concentration level which was effective over positive control (synthetic chemical). The genotype IT97K-499-35 recorded no population aphid in plants treated with A. sativum at 200ppm concentration level which is also effective over the positive control. There is critical need to enhance the use of plant extracts scientifically on field as part of Integrated Pests Management for safe food production.

Bioactive materials have received much consideration in the last couple of years because of their astounding properties in various fields. Bioactive Glasses (BGs) are utilized as part of biomedical applications, such as antibacterial materials. BGs can be delivered by means of dissolve extinguishing strategy or sol-gel technique. Bactericidal silver-doped sol-gel inferred mesoporous silica-based bioactive glasses were accounted for the first time in 2000, having the synthesis 76SiO2-19CaO-2P2O5-3Ag2O (wt%) and a mean pore width of 28 nm. Bioactive glasses doped with metallic elements such as silver, copper, zinc, cerium and gallium are the focus of this audit in which SiO2, SiO2-CaO and SiO2-CaO-P2O5 frameworks are incorporated as the parent glass creations. Run of the mill uses of mesoporous BGs doped with antibacterial particles incorporate bone tissue recovery, multifunctional earthenware coatings for orthopedic gadgets and orbital inserts, scaffolds with upgraded angiogenesis potential, osteostimulation and antibacterial properties for the treatment of various bone imperfections and also in wound recuperating.

This paper advocates Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) which evaluates the operation performance of airports using Fuzzy Simple Additive Weighting (FSAW) method. Assigned weights by decision- makers were in a linguistic form. These linguistic forms were converted into triangular fuzzy numbers. We chose three airports designated as A1, A2 and A3 and examined by four decision makers D1, D2, D3 and D4 under a fuzzy environment for performance against the chosen criteria. FSAW method gives similar decision results which shows that this method is effective, relevant and reliable for this kind of MCDM.
