Published: February 2020

Intestinal displacements including volvulus, torsion and invagination have been reported in various terrestrial and marine mammals. We conducted pathological investigations on 157 seals that had either stranded on the coasts of the North or Baltic Sea between 1996 and 2015 (115 harbour seals, >19 mo old; 21 grey seals, >13 mo old) or died while in human care (18 harbour seals, >19 mo old; 3 grey seals, >13 mo old). Intestinal displacements were found in 23% of the examined free-living harbour seals, in 5% of the stranded grey seals and in 17% of the harbour seals in human care. Intestinal volvulus, found in 24 cases, was characterized by twisting of the intestine along the mesenteric axis (180-540°) resulting in vascular obstruction and haemorrhagic infarction. In harbour seals, the sex ratio of individuals suffering from volvulus tended to be biased towards females during April to June, suggesting an elevated risk for pregnant females around birth time. Invagination was detected in 11 cases, 5 of which suffered from additional volvulus. Pathological findings associated with intestinal volvulus and invagination were sero-haemorrhagic effusions in the abdominal cavity. Enteritis, parasitic infection with gastric nematodes and intestinal acanthocephalans and bacterial infection with predominantly Clostridium perfringens and Escherichia coli were observed in most of the affected animals. In total, 30 investigated harbour and grey seals suffered from intestinal displacements. Pregnant females seemed to be more vulnerable around birth time. Causes of intestinal displacements remain undetermined, but are likely multifactorial.

Published: February 2020

Ovalipes trimaculatusis a commercially important, cosmopolitan portunid crab. However, environmental conditions that drive its distribution have never been studied. Thus, we aimed to assess the habitat preferences of this species in northern Patagonia by developing a species distribution model. We obtained spatial quantitative data of the crab and its prey species from a benthic survey performed prior to commercial fishing in the area. We used measurements of environmental condition, biomass, richness and evenness of its prey as predictors, and modeled the density ofO. trimaculatusthrough a delta-gamma model, and produced a map of its predicted biomass. Prey biomass, depth and substrate type were the most important variables for predicting the distribution ofO. trimaculatus. The model predicts a restricted depth range, with maximum crab density at 10 m (the shallowest depth sampled) in bottom substrates of relatively fine granulometry, such as silty sand and silt. Prey biomass does not determine crab presence, but, where the crab is present, higher prey biomass correlates with higher crab abundance. Our results accurately predicted 1 of the 2 actual fishing grounds; hence, the model may be a useful tool for local fishers and managers.

Published: February 2020

Vascular stenosis is often described only by its percentage in both clinical and scientific praxis. Previous studies gave inconclusive results regarding the effect of stenosis eccentricity on its hemodynamic effect. The aim of this experimental study was to investigate and quantify the effect of stenosis severity and eccentricity on the pressure drop. A combination of pressure and flow measurements by Particle Imaging Velocimetry (PIV) method was used. Models of the same stenosis significance but with different levels of eccentricity were studied in vitro by PIV. This study has shown that stenosis asymmetry is associated with more profound pressure drop and flow volume decrease. On the contrary, pressure drop and flow volume decrease were not further significantly influenced by the level of asymmetry. Hemodynamic changes associated with stenosis eccentricity must be taken into account in both clinical and scientific studies.

Published: February 2020

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a role in metabolic regulation under stress conditions, and inadequate AMPK signaling may be also involved in aging process. The aim was to find out whether AMPK α2-subunit deletion affects heart function and ischemic tolerance of adult and aged mice. AMPK α2-/- (KO) and wild type (WT) female mice were compared at the age of 6 and 18 months. KO mice exhibited subtle myocardial AMPK α2-subunit protein level, but no difference in AMPK α1-subunit was detected between the strains. Both α1- and α2-subunits of AMPK and their phosphorylation decreased with advanced age. Left ventricular fractional shortening was lower in KO than in WT mice of both age groups and this difference was maintained after high-fat feeding. Infarct size induced by global ischemia/reperfusion of isolated hearts was similar in both strains at 6 months of age. Aged WT but not KO mice exhibited improved ischemic tolerance compared with the younger group. High-fat feeding for 6 months during aging abolished the infarct size-reduction in WT without affecting KO animals; nevertheless, the extent of injury remained larger in KO mice. The results demonstrate that adverse effects of AMPK α2-subunit deletion and high-fat feeding on heart function and myocardial ischemic tolerance in aged female mice are not additive.

For biodegradable porous scaffolds to have a potential application in cartilage regeneration, they should enable cell growth and differentiation and should have adequate mechanical properties. In this study, our aim was to prepare biocompatible scaffolds with improved biomechanical properties. To this end, we have developed foam scaffolds from poly-Ɛ-caprolactone (PCL) with incorporated chitosan microparticles. The scaffolds were prepared by a salt leaching technique from either 10 or 15 wt% PCL solutions containing 0, 10 and 20 wt% chitosan microparticles, where the same amount and size of NaCl was used as a porogen in all the cases. PCL scaffolds without and with low amounts of chitosan (0 and 10 wt% chitosan) showed higher DNA content than scaffolds with high amounts of chitosan during a 22-day experiment. 10 wt% PCL with 10 and 20 wt% chitosan showed significantly increased viscoelastic properties compared to 15 wt% PCL scaffolds with 0 and 10 wt% chitosan. Thus, 10 wt% PCL scaffolds with 0 wt% and 10 wt% chitosan are potential scaffolds for cartilage regeneration.

Published: February 2020

Acute morphine exposure induces antinociceptive activity, but the underlying mechanisms in the central nervous system are unclear. Using whole-cell patch clamp recordings, we explore the role of morphine in the modulation of excitatory synaptic transmission in lateral amygdala neurons of rats. The results demonstrate that perfusion of 10 μM of morphine to the lateral amygdala inhibits the discharge frequency significantly. We further find that there are no significant influences of morphine on the amplitude of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs). Interestingly, morphine shows no marked influence on the evoked excitatory postsynaptic currents (eEPSCs) in the lateral amygdala neurons. These results indicate that acute morphine treatment plays an important role in the modulation on the excitatory synaptic transmission in lateral amygdala neurons of rats.

Published: February 2020

Acute exercise-induced changes in cortisol concentration (C) and training related adaptation within hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis has been widely examined, but their influence on muscle strength performance is at best uncertain. Twenty four young healthy men were randomly assigned to an endurance training group (ET, n=12) or to a non-exercising controls (CON, n=12). ET performed supervised endurance training on cycle ergometer for 20 weeks. Endurance training program improved exercise capacity (14 % increase in power output generated at peak oxygen uptake – VO2peak), muscle strength performance (increase in MVC – maximal voluntary contraction – by 9 % and in TTF 50 % MVC – time to fatigue at 50 % MVC – by 21 %) and led to a decrease in basal serum C concentration (P=0.006) and an increase in basal testosterone to cortisol (T/C) and free testosterone to cortisol (fT/C) ratios (P=0.01 and P=0.02, respectively). It was found that the decrease in C concentration (ΔC) was positively correlated to the increase in local muscular endurance (ΔTTF 50 % MVC). No significant hormonal changes were seen in CON group. It is concluded that greater decrease in cortisol concentration after the endurance training is accompanied by poorer improvement in skeletal muscle performance in previously untrained subjects.

Published: February 2020

The goal of this study is to summarize the current knowledge on the effects of one of the essential metals, copper (Cu) on the reproductive system. The development of past four decades addressing effects of Cu on reproductive organs is reviewed. The most relevant data obtained from in vivo and in vitro experiments performed on humans and other mammals, including effects of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) on the reproductive functions are presented. Short term Cu administration has been found to exert deleterious effect on intracellular organelles of rat ovarian cells in vivo. In vitro administration in porcine ovarian granulosa cells releases insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I), steroid hormone progesterone (P4), and induces expression of peptides related to proliferation and apoptosis. Adverse effect of Cu on male reproductive functions has been indicated by the decrease in spermatozoa parameters such as concentration, viability and motility. Copper nanoparticles are capable of generating oxidative stress in vitro thereby leading to reproductive toxicity. Toxic effect of CuNPs has been evident more in male mice than in females. Even though further investigations are necessary to arrive at a definitive conclusion, Cu notably influences the reproductive functions by interfering with both male and female reproductive systems and also hampers embryo development in dose-dependent manner.

Editing Experiment: The New Modernist Editing and Dorothy Richardson's Pilgrimage
Authors: Guy Adam , McCracken Scott
Published: February 2020

This article examines the challenges experimental writing poses for textual editing, drawing on the experience of the Dorothy Richardson Editions Project, which was inaugurated in 2007 with the aim of producing new scholarly editions of Richardson's fiction and letters. Here we focus on Richardson's thirteen-volume novel sequence Pilgrimage (1915–67) and the particular problems its constantly unfolding experimental aesthetic present for both the critic and the scholarly editor. We adopt Adorno's concept of ‘constructive methods’ to describe Richardson's project, the composition of a narrative without a predictable endpoint, asking what kind of editorial practice best captures her unconventional and deliberately inconsistent approach to writing. We conclude by discussing the implications that editing Pilgrimage might have for a broader understanding of modernist aesthetics.
Factors Moderating the Association between Cannabis Use and Psychosis Risk: A Systematic Review
Authors: van der Steur Sanne J. , Batalla Albert , Bossong Matthijs G.
Published: February 2020

Increasing evidence indicates a relationship between cannabis use and psychosis risk. Specific factors, such as determinants of cannabis use or the genetic profile of cannabis users, appear to moderate this association. The present systematic review presents a detailed and up-to-date literature overview on factors that influence the relationship between cannabis use and psychosis risk. A systematic search was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines in MEDLINE and Embase, and 56 studies were included. The results show that, in particular, frequent cannabis use, especially daily use, and the consumption of high-potency cannabis are associated with a higher risk of developing psychosis. Moreover, several genotypes moderate the impact of cannabis use on psychosis risk, particularly those involved in the dopamine function, such as AKT1. Finally, cannabis use is associated with an earlier psychosis onset and increased risk of transition in individuals at a clinical high risk of psychosis. These findings indicate that changing cannabis use behavior could be a harm reduction strategy employed to lower the risk of developing psychosis. Future research should aim to further develop specific biomarkers and genetic profiles for psychosis, thereby contributing to the identification of individuals at the highest risk of developing a psychotic disorder.
Understanding Dissolution Rates via Continuous Flow Systems with Physiologically Relevant Metal Ion Saturation in Lysosome
Authors: Keller Johannes , Peijnenburg Willie , Werle Kai , Landsiedel Robert , Wohlleben Wendel
Published: February 2020

Dissolution rates of nanomaterials can be decisive for acute in vivo toxicity (via the released ions) and for biopersistence (of the remaining particles). Continuous flow systems (CFSs) can screen for both aspects, but operational parameters need to be adjusted to the specific physiological compartment, including local metal ion saturation. CFSs have two adjustable parameters: the volume flow-rate and the initial particle loading. Here we explore the pulmonary lysosomal dissolution of nanomaterials containing the metals Al, Ba, Zn, Cu over a wide range of volume flow-rates in a single experiment. We identify the ratio of particle surface area (SA) per volume flow-rate (SA/V) as critical parameter that superimposes all dissolution rates of the same material. Three complementary benchmark materials—ZnO (quick dissolution), TiO2 (very slow dissolution), and BaSO4 (partial dissolution)—consistently identify the SA/V range of 0.01 to 0.03 h/μm as predictive for lysosomal pulmonary biodissolution. We then apply the identified method to compare against non-nanoforms of the same substances and test aluminosilicates. For BaSO4 and TiO2, we find high similarity of the dissolution rates of their respective nanoform and non-nanoform, governed by the local ion solubility limit at relevant SA/V ranges. For aluminosilicates, we find high similarity of the dissolution rates of two Kaolin nanoforms but significant dissimilarity against Bentonite despite the similar composition.
UV-Initiated Crosslinking Reaction Mechanism and Electrical Breakdown Performance of Crosslinked Polyethylene
Authors: Fu Yu-Wei , Sun Wei-Feng , Wang Xuan
Published: February 2020

The ultraviolet (UV) irradiation crosslinking reactions of polyethylene and the electronic properties of photo-initiators and reaction products are theoretically investigated by the first-principles calculations. The crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) materials are prepared in experiments that employ the UV-initiated crosslinking technique with different photon-initiation systems. Infrared spectrum and the alternating current dielectric breakdown strength of UV-initiated XLPE are tested to explore the effect of reaction products on the breakdown characteristics in combination with the electron structure calculations. The theoretical calculations indicate that the 4-hydroxybenzophenone laurate, which is compatible with polyethylene, can effectively initiate crosslinking reactions of polyethylene molecules under UV photon excitation and will produce reaction by-products from carbonyl radicals; as a macromolecular auxiliary crosslinker, the monomer or homopolymer of dioleyl-2,2′,4,4′-tetraallyl isocyanurate can form chemical connections with multiple polyethylene molecules acting as a crosslinking node in a photon-initiated reaction process. The carbonyl, hydroxyl, or ester groups of reaction by-products are capable of capturing hot electrons to prevent polyethylene molecules from impact ionization, and thus will increase the breakdown electric field. The macromolecular auxiliary crosslinker and the macromolecular photon initiator as well as its reaction by-product can convert the energy of their captured high-energy electrons into heat, which can act as a voltage stabilizer. The molecule characterization of infrared spectra demonstrates that the characteristic absorption peaks of the carbonyl in the macromolecular photon initiator and the allyl in the macromolecular auxiliary crosslinking agent are gradually decreasing in intensity as the crosslinking reaction proceeds, which is consistent with the conclusion from theoretical calculations. Compared with the small molecular photon-initiation system generally used in the photon-initiated crosslinking process, the higher dielectric breakdown field of XLPE being prepared by utilizing a macromolecular photon-initiation system is in good agreement with the calculation results of electronic affinity and ionization potential. The consistent results of the experiments and first-principles calculations elucidate the fundamental mechanism of the UV-initiation crosslinking technique and suggest a prospective routine to improve the insulation strength for developing high-voltage XLPE insulating materials.
Effect of Weaving Structures on the Water Wicking–Evaporating Behavior of Woven Fabrics
Authors: Lei Min , Li Yuling , Liu Yanping , Ma Yanxue , Cheng Longdi , Hu Yue
Published: February 2020

Water transfer through porous textiles consists of two sequential processes: synchronous wicking–evaporating and evaporating alone. In this work we set out to identify the main structural parameters affecting the water transfer process of cotton fabrics. Eight woven fabrics with different floats were produced. The fabrics were evaluated on a specially designed instrument capable of measuring the water loss through a vertical wicking process. Each test took 120 min, and two phases were defined: Phase I for the first 10 min and Phase II for the last 110 min according to wicking behavior transition. Principal components and multivariate statistical methods were utilized to analyze the data collected. The results showed that Phase I dominated the whole wicking–evaporating process, and the moisture transfer speed in this phase varied with fabric structure, whereas the moisture transfer speeds in Phase II were similar and constant regardless of fabric structure. In addition, fabric with more floats has high water transfer speed in Phase I due to its loosened structure with more macropores.
La fracturation osseuse : du fait technique à l’essai d’interprétation sociétale : l’exemple de l’antilope saïga du gisement magdalénien de Saint-Germain-la-Rivière (Gironde)
Authors: Masset Caroline , Costamagno Sandrine , Cochard David , Laroulandie Véronique
Published: February 2020

La fracturation osseuse est une pratique couramment observée sur les gisements paléolithiques, celle-ci intervenant dans diverses chaînes opératoires de transformation et d’utilisation des ressources animales, notamment alimentaires. La moelle osseuse, contenue dans la cavité médullaire des os longs, est une ressource alimentaire non négligeable pour de nombreux groupes humains, en particulier dans les zones périglaciaires, tels les Nunamiuts d’Alaska ou les Koriaks de Sibérie. Différents procédés sont mis en oeuvre pour sa récupération ; leur variabilité s’explique en partie par l’existence de traditions techniques et de modes de consommation de la moelle, propres aux différents groupes. Ces traditions entraînent souvent une standardisation des procédés de fracturation à l’intérieur de chaque groupe. De tels schémas récurrents sont-ils perceptibles dans le registre paléolithique ? Si oui, est-il possible de mettre en évidence une transmission des gestes relatifs à la récupération de la moelle ? Afin d’apporter des éléments de réponse à ces questions nous proposons dans le cadre de cet article, une étude détaillée des traces de percussion observées sur les os longs d’antilope saïga (Saiga tatarica), provenant de l’ensemble supérieur Magdalénien moyen de Saint-Germain-la-Rivière (Gironde). Les schémas observés ont ensuite été comparés à ceux décrits dans la littérature afin d’apprécier leurs spécificités et de discuter des paramètres ayant pu influer sur cette répartition des traces. Les vestiges fauniques de Saint-Germain-la-Rivière sont intensément fracturés et présentent de nombreuses traces de percussion d’origine anthropique attribuables à cette activité de fracturation de l’os. Des récurrences dans la localisation des traces de percussion ont pu être mises en évidence. Celles-ci varient selon les éléments squelettiques considérés et sont plus ou moins marquées. L’existence de telles récurrences tend à prouver que la disposition des points d’impact dépend d’un choix délibéré. Ces choix ne semblent pas être dictés exclusivement par l’existence de contraintes mécaniques (e. g. la structure osseuse) ou ergonomiques spécifiques aux éléments squelettiques. Par ailleurs, l’existence d’une variabilité inter-et intra-spécifique, observable d''après les données de la littérature laisse à penser qu’il s’agit de choix dictés en partie par un facteur culturel. L’analyse des traces de percussion a également permis de mettre en évidence, dans certains cas, la présence de plusieurs points d’impact sur une surface réduite. L’une des hypothèses que l’on peut émettre ici serait qu’il y ait eu plusieurs tentatives pour fracturer l’os. Ces pièces posent alors la question de l’acharnement et de la maîtrise du geste et pourraient évoquer des os fracturés par des novices.
Mengukur Peluang Kejadian Gempa Bumi dengan Lompatan Magnitudo di Wilayah Pulau Sumatera
Authors: Anwar Samsul
Published: February 2020

Pulau Sumatera merupakan salah satu wilayah yang rawan terjadinya gempa bumi di Indonesia. Gempa bumi dengan magnitudo (M) yang besar dapat terjadi tanpa didahului oleh gempa bumi dengan magnitudo yang lebih kecil. Dalam penelitian ini kejadian tersebut diistilahkan sebagai gempa bumi dengan lompatan magnitudo. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur peluang terjadinya gempa bumi di wilayah Pulau Sumatera dengan lompatan magnitudo pada interval tertentu. Metode analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini didasari pada konsep probabilitas kejadian saling bebas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peluang terjadinya gempa bumi di wilayah Pulau Sumatera dengan lompatan magnitudo pada interval tertentu cenderung menjadi semakin kecil seiring bertambah besarnya lompatan magnitudo yang dianalisis terutama pada interval 5,6 – 6,7. Sedangkan untuk gempa bumi dengan M ≥ 7,6; analisis probabilitas menunjukkan adanya peningkatan peluang terjadinya gempa bumi di wilayah Pulau Sumatera dengan lompatan magnitudo pada interval tersebut meskipun dengan peluang yang cukup kecil.

Numerous studies have proven that conceptual targeting based on integration of various geo-datasets can aid exploration companies to identify exploration targets (e.g. Joly et al. 2013). This is particularly true in remote, underexplored areas that are commonly just covered by airborne geophysics and remote sensing and mapped geologically only on a regional scale. Such regions are ‘exploration greenfields’ and may possess undiscovered economic deposits.
GENOME SIZE IN THREE SPECIES OF Glandularia AND THEIR HYBRIDS
Authors: Ferrari M.R. , Greizerstein E.J. , Poggio L.
Published: February 2020

In this work the relationship between genome size of Glandularia species and the meiotic configurations found in their hybrids are discussed. Glandularia incisa (Hook.) Tronc., growing in two localities of Corrientes and Córdoba provinces, Argentina, with different ecological conditions, showed inter-population variability of the 2C-value. The DNA content found in the Corrientes locality (2.41 pg) was higher than that obtained in the Córdoba locality (2.09 pg) which has more stressful environmental conditions than the former. These values are statistically different from those that were found in Glandularia pulchella (Sweet) Tronc. from Corrientes (1.43 pg) and in Glandularia perakii Cov. et Schn from Córdoba (1.47 pg).
The DNA content of the diploid F1 hybrids, G. pulchella × G. incisa and G. perakii × G. incisa, differed statistically from the DNA content of the parental species, being intermediate between them. Differences in the frequency of pairing of homoeologous chromosomes were observed in the hybrids; these differences cannot be explained by differences in genome size since hybrids with similar DNA content differ significantly in their meiotic behavior. On the other hand, the differences in the DNA content between the parental species justify the presence of a high frequency of heteromorphic open and closed bivalents and univalents with different size in the hybrids.
Key words: Intra-specific DNA content variability, homoeologous pairing, heteromorphic bivalents

Published: February 2020

The fundamental discussion in this paper focuses and explores the elements of identity associated with local language mastery among individuals who are self-initiated expatriates. As a result, they are taking proactive initiatives to put themselves in a good position in the organization for career enhancement in the home country. The discussion in this paper is therefore aimed at exploring the relationship between the elements of language skills in the transformation of identity and confidence among expatriate academics in Malaysian public universities. In other words, the situation refers to the expatriate academic proactive attitude of trying to replace the country's cultural identity and values such as releasing the native language and mastering the local language to improve communication skills in the future. The study utilises qualitative methods that included semi-structured interviews of 30 international staff status lecturers at Malaysian public universities. The findings of this study prove that self-confidence plays a role in developing one's thoughts and actions in communicating and interacting with social and phenomenological structures that bind one to another. Thus, in the context of this study, self-confidence is seen as more personal and dynamic. In line with the discussion of this paper, the expatriate's interpretation of the improvisation of confidence and self-esteem and helps the researcher better understand the expatriate's actions in interpreting the self-confidence gained from the experiment.

Published: February 2020

Wide-bandgap semiconductor devices, such as gallium nitride and silicon carbide devices, have attracted great interest in the automotive application area. However, wide-bandgap semiconductor devices are still too expensive to apply in the power electronics system in automotive applications. In this application, the series-connected active power semiconductor device method using low voltage rating power semiconductor devices of power conversion systems is an effective solution for the cost and efficiency problems. However, there exists no discussion about the voltage imbalance phenomenon for series-connected active power semiconductor devices. In this paper, the voltage imbalance phenomenon is analyzed and evaluated using simulation and an experimental setup in the case of a hard-switching DC–DC converter and a soft-switching one suitable for automotive applications.

Lemahnya sikap menghargai orang tua merupakan bagian yang sangat penting yang harus diketahui oleh anak-anak remaja saat ini. Hal ini juga menjadi cerminan bahwa sikap menghargai orang yang lebih tua itu masih rendah. Salah satu penyebab masalah ini dikarenakan, kurangnya penanaman nilai moral dan budi pekerti yang tidak ditanamkan secara langsung kepada diri seseorang. Oleh karena itu, arahan-arahan tentang nilai moral dan budi pekerti perlu kiranya disosialisasikan agar kedepannya anak-anak remaja tersebut tidak hanya meraba-raba untuk melakukan sebuah tindakkan. Yang mana sebuah tindakan itu mungkin menurut anggapannya sudah benar namun salah di mata orang lain. Selain itu, dari hasil sosialisasi ini diharapkan siswa-siswi tersebut memperoleh pengetahuan yang sebenarnya tentang nilai moral dan budi pekerti yang baik terhadap sesama, teman sebaya maupun terhadap orang yang lebih tua karena dengan siraman rohani mampu merubah pribadi seseorang menjadi lebih baik. Hal ini tampak tidak ada satu pun siswa-siswi yang menjadi masyarakat sasaran yang tidak merasa tersentuh pada saat dilakukan siraman rohani dan juga diperkuat dari hasil pengakuan orang tuanya.

This paper proposed a novel cryptography method for enhancing the user level security to avoid malicious user entering into cloud applications. Existing research works have been proposed various cryptographic methods, algorithms and techniques for validating the user for accessing data or operating cloud applications. But still the malicious user activity like sybil, sinkhole, Denial of Service, Distributed Denial of Service, Economic Denial of Sustainability, selective forwarding and so on, is increasing day by day in cloud. This paper taken this problem as a major problem and motivated to provide a better solution which can eliminate the malicious user activity in cloud. To do this, this paper used DNA cryptography method for generating a strong key for user and data encryption – decryption process. User information is converted into human deoxyribonucleic acid form for generating strong key and data encryption. The implementation of the proposed approach is carried out in DOTNET framework and the experimental results are verified. Based on the results the performance is evaluated by comparing with the existing results.

The queue is one indicator of patient satisfaction at the hospital in addition to the service of getting treatment itself. Uncertainty, when patients will be served, will reduce patient satisfaction. Hospital outpatient poly enrollment services are the most numerous patient queue. Patients who come to the hospital may not necessarily get services directly because they only know the doctor's schedule and practice information after coming to the hospital. There are times when patients have to go home without getting treatment because they did not find the desired service schedule. The Ibnusina Indrapuri Aceh Hospital has a Hospital Management Information System (HMIS) application that is connected to the Health Social Security Administering Agency (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial-BPJS) application to receive outpatient poly referral patients. The reception of outpatient registration has been done in a semi-manual way by officers where patients must come directly to the hospital. It takes a long time to input one patient's registration data, if there are many patient visits, the time for data input will be longer, causing long queues. So that registration can be done well and faster, it requires an easy way of registration that can be done by the patient himself from home without having to come directly to the hospital, which is using SMS messaging facilities. Patients will receive a reply message in the form of information on the availability of service schedules and queue numbers, patients do not need to come again to the hospital if the desired service schedule is not available. A registration model design is needed to illustrate the organization's management to be integrated into the HMIS application. The design of this registration model was created using the TOGAF framework. The use of the stages and phases contained in the TOGAF ADM framework shows results that are acceptable to the hospital management to design the architecture of the outpatient poly enrollment system at the hospital at an affordable cost and very feasible to use.

Today era every person needs to be fame, profit and success. To fulfill own dreams to meet the competitions in competitive world. Every person to fulfill his dreams to makes some strategies. Because strategy help us to achieved the organizational and individual goals. A Strategy is concerned with the direction in which human and physical resources to be use to maximize the chances of achieving organizational objectives. It means of putting a policy in to effect within certain time limits. Strategies main focuses on objectives, in other words you can say that strategies are means to an end. The main purpose of Strategy is to be solving the business problems, help to managers to improve his managerial powers, and optimum utilization of scares resources etc. Managers also play a vital role in the companies because they can guide to their subordinates through decisions taken in accordance with the strategies from time to time even through subordinates are operating at different places. In any further situation should be controlled by managers through the strategy employee’s activities on the workplace. Strategies guide to individuals of different areas of operations are properly guided so as to reduce respective actions leading thereby to have perfect cooperation. All managerial actions are taken as per strategies framed such as the policies specify routes towards anticipated goals. Strategy is a integrated, complete and included plan designed to assure that the basic objectives of the undertaking are achieved.

The numbers of patients with skin diseases reported a dramatic increase which is a major concern and must be dealt with. The method of diagnosis is always based on physician’s observations and experiences. Many common symptoms such as side effects, allergies and even risks of skin cancer can be seen in someone following misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis and failure to diagnose. The evaluation of skin changes is crucial to the correct diagnosis during follow-up. Through technological advances and partnerships, skin disorders can be identified and predicted and medical diagnosis outside physical limits are made. The article proposed an IoT-based skin surveillance system that facilitates the monitoring of skin patients in remote locations. In a diagnostic device for real-time skin monitoring and analysis, the proposed system architecture can be applied. A sensor fitted medical carriage is proposed in a remote location to treat individuals suffering from a common skin disorder. The system is also designed to research the impact of climate change on the disease through environmental sensors and provide pre-alertfor prevention. This addresses the many problems that people in remote areas without restricted treatment facilities face.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo a avaliação das cargas poluentes transportadas pelos principais corpos hídricos inseridos no município de Maceió/AL. Para tanto, delimitaram-se como áreas de estudo as bacias hidrográficas dos rios Meirim, Pratagy e Jacarecica e dos riachos do Silva e do Reginaldo. A metodologia consistiu na medição de variáveis de qualidade das águas e das vazões dos rios e riachos, obtendo-se assim as cargas poluentes. Os resultados alcançados indicaram que os corpos hídricos estudados apresentaram elevados valores médios de cargas poluentes com relação aos seguintes constituintes de qualidade da água: sólidos totais, DBO5, DQO, coliformes totais e Escherichia coli. Tais resultados permitiram concluir que o comprometimento da qualidade das
águas superficiais dos corpos hídricos estudados se deve principalmente às características de uso e ocupação do solo das bacias hidrográficas.

O despejo inadequado de efluentes em mananciais de abastecimento pode acarretar a presença de cianobactérias toxigênicas produtoras de microcistinas (MCs) nocivas à saúde. Desse modo, este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a eficiência do tratamento por ciclo completo, em escala de bancada, associado ou não à adsorção em carvão ativado na forma pulverizada – CAP ou granular – CAG, para água de estudo com densidade celular da ordem de 105 cel mL-1 de Microcystis sp. e concentração aproximada de 20 µg L-1 de MCs. Para tanto foram utilizados o hidróxi-cloreto de polialumínio como coagulante, 14 tipos de CAP e 7 de CAG. Os resultados indicaram a necessidade de associação da adsorção em carvão ativado ao tratamento por ciclo completo para produção de água tratada com valores inferiores a 1,0 µg L-1 de MCs, valor máximo permitido no Anexo XX da Portaria de Consolidação n° 5/2017.
