BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to accelerate another pandemic: physical inactivity. Daily steps, a proxy of physical activity, are closely related to health. Recent studies indicate that over 7000 steps per day is the critical physical activity standard for minimizing the risk of all-cause mortality. Moreover, the risk of cardiovascular events has been found to increase by 8% for every 2000 steps per day decrement.

OBJECTIVE

To quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on daily steps in the general adult population.

METHODS

This study follows the guidelines of the MOOSE (Meta-analysis Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) checklist. PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science were searched from inception to February 11, 2023. Eligible studies were observational studies reporting monitor-assessed daily steps before and during the confinement period of the COVID-19 pandemic in the general adult population. Two reviewers performed study selection and data extraction independently. The modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to assess the study quality. A random effects meta-analysis was conducted. The primary outcome of interest was the number of daily steps before (ie, January 2019 to February 2020) and during (ie, after January 2020) the confinement period of COVID-19. Publication bias was assessed with a funnel plot and further evaluated with the Egger test. Sensitivity analyses were performed by excluding studies with low methodological quality or small sample sizes to test the robustness of the findings. Other outcomes included subgroup analyses by geographic location and gender.

RESULTS

A total of 20 studies (19,253 participants) were included. The proportion of studies with subjects with optimal daily steps (ie, ≥7000 steps/day) declined from 70% before the pandemic to 25% during the confinement period. The change in daily steps between the 2 periods ranged from –5771 to –683 across studies, and the pooled mean difference was –2012 (95% CI –2805 to –1218). The asymmetry in the funnel plot and Egger test results did not indicate any significant publication bias. Results remained stable in sensitivity analyses, suggesting that the observed differences were robust. Subgroup analyses revealed that the decline in daily steps clearly varied by region worldwide but that there was no apparent difference between men and women.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings indicate that daily steps declined substantially during the confinement period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic further exacerbated the ever-increasing prevalence of low levels of physical activity, emphasizing the necessity of adopting appropriate measures to reverse this trend. Further research is required to monitor the consequence of long-term physical inactivity.

Use of Exposure in an mHealth App Predicts Posttraumatic Stress Symptom Reduction (Preprint)
Authors: Davis C. Adrian , Miller Madeleine , McLean Carmen
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Mobile mental health apps (MHealth apps) are a cost-effective option for managing mental health problems, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The efficacy of MHealth apps depend on engagement with the app, but few studies have examined how users engage with different features of MHealth apps for PTSD.

OBJECTIVE

Using data from a pilot trial of Renew, an exposure-based app for PTSD, we tested whether engagement with exposure activities is associated with greater reductions in PTSD symptoms.

METHODS

Veterans (N = 69) self-reported PTSD symptoms before and after a six-week intervention period. App usage data was collected using a research-instrumented dashboard.

RESULTS

A hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that greater exposure engagement was related to greater PTSD symptom reduction. Moreover, this was true even when controlling for overall engagement with the app. The number of characters written during imaginal exposure and amount of time spent completing exposure activities were significant contributors to the model.

CONCLUSIONS

Engagement with specific, active therapeutic components of MHealth apps, such as exposure, may be more important for symptom change than overall engagement with mHealth apps.

Tanaman garut di Kabupaten Jember masih sebagai tanaman liar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keragaman fisikokimia garut dari beberapa kecamatan di Kabupaten Jember. Variabel fisikokimia yang diamati meliputi kadar air, sukrosa, protein terlarut, antioksidan, flavonoid, phenolic, gula reduksi, dan karbohidrat. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis korelasi dan biplot. Hasil korelasi menunjukkan semakin tinggi kadar air maka semakin rendah kandungan sukrosa pada umbi garut (r= -0.480), juga dengan kandungan protein terlarut (r=-0.515) dan gula reduksi (r=-0.698). Semakin tinggi kandungan sukrosa pada umbi garut maka semakin tinggi pula kandungan protein terlarut (r=0.515), phenolik (r=0.513) dan gula reduksi (r=0.657). Berdasarkan hasil analisis biplot, total keragaman fisikokimia garut di Kabupaten Jember sebesar 58.6%. Kandungan flavonoid memiliki nilai keragaman kecil dibanding variabel lainnya. Umbi garut yang diperoleh dari Kecamatan Wuluhan (Desa Tanjangrejo dan Glundengan) memiliki kandungan gula reduksi dan protein terlarut rendah, dan umbi garut dari Kecamatan Sumbersari (Desa Kranjingan) memiliki kandungan antioksidan dan karbohidrat paling tinggi.

Authors: Sawitri Widhi Dyah , Sugiharto Bambang
Published: May 2023

Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) berperan penting untuk biosintesis sukrosa pada tanaman. SPS tanaman dibagi menjadi beberapa domain diantaranya bagian domian N-terminal, domain C-terminal, dan domain glycosyltransferase (GT). Namun, fungsi domain N-terminal dan C-terminal masih belum jelas. Oleh karenanya, dilakukan studi karakterisasi fungsi masing-masing domain SPS melalui penghilangan domain N-terminal (∆N), C-terminal (∆C), dan kedua domain tersebut (∆NC). Mutan ∆N, ∆C, dan ∆NC diekspresikan melalui sistem rekombinan E. coli dan dilakukan purifikasi protein secara parsial untuk menghilangkan sebagian protein kontaminan. Protein rekombinan mutan dikonfirmasi ekspresinya melalui teknik western blot dan dilakukan uji aktivitas enzim. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa ekspresi dan aktivitas enzim mutan ∆N meningkat. Sebaliknya, pada mutan ∆C dan ∆NC terjadi penurunan aktivitas enzim, bahkan mendekati kondisi tidak aktif. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa bagian domain C-terminal SPS tanaman memiliki peran yang sangat krusial untuk sintesis sukrosa. Melalui studi ini dapat diketahui bahwa domain N-terminal diindikasikan berperan dalam regulasi alosterik enzim, sedangkan domain C-terminal diasumsikan berkaitan dengan reaksi katalitik enzim.
Apprehending the Contemporary Indian Society through the Lens of Social Realism- A Study of Shashi Tharoor's 'The Five Dollar Smile And Other Stories'
Authors: Marwaha Priyanka
Published: May 2023

The emergence of Indian novels in English was not purely a literary phenomenon. Rather than a historical romance, it began as a novel of social realism. Social realism is the faithful representation of reality. It limns familiar real-life places and mundane, everyday stories of ordinary people, primarily society's middle and lower classes. The depiction of different shades of modern Indian life is one of the principal sources of appeal in Shashi Tharoor's fiction and non-fiction works. Tharoor's writings predominantly deal with India's historical, social or political aspects, and the characters are the central focus of the narratives. Tharoor's The Five Dollar Smile And Other Stories (1990) is a collection of short stories and a farce based on his childhood and early adulthood anecdotes. The stories reflect themes like love, hate, loss, deceit, and many other social evils. The paper attempts to explore and critically analyse Tharoor's collection of short stories in the light of social realism in modern India from an adolescent's perception.

Enterococci species are known commensals of the gastrointestinal flora; however, in recent years, they have emerged as important nosocomial pathogens that possess many virulence factors that are attributed to the pathogenesis of diseases caused by them. The study evaluated and compared the virulence factors of Enterococci isolated from fecal and clinical samples. From the obtained isolates, the clinical enterococcal isolates produced 35%, 20%, and 50%, and fecal isolates produced 23%, 13%, and 13% gelatinase, hemolysin, and biofilm, respectively. Biofilm production determined by the Congo Red agar, tube, and microtiter plate methods was 23%, 39%, and 49%, respectively. The sensitivity of the Congo Red agar and tube method compared to the microtiter plate method was 27% and 46%, respectively, whereas the specificity of both tests was 79%. This study showed that biofilm production plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of diseases caused by Enterococci. Detection of biofilm production using the microtiter plate method is more sensitive and specific than the Congo Red agar and tube method.

Heart Rate Estimation using Hermite Transform Video Magnification and Deep Learning
Authors: Joshna M. Jaya
Published: May 2023

Abstract: Monitoring of heart rate can be used in many medical and sports applications. Lack of portability and connection problems make traditional monitoring methods difficult to use outside of clinical environments. The computer vision techniques have shown that some physiological variables as heart rate can be measured without contact. Video magnification is one of these approaches used for the detection of the pulse signal. In this paper we propose a new strategy to magnify motion in a video sequence using the Hermite transform. In addition, a deep learning technique is implemented to estimate the beat-by-beat pulse signal. We trained the system and validated our results using an electronic pulse monitoring device. Our approach is compared with the classical video magnification using a Gaussian pyramid. The results show a better enhancement of spectral information from the color changes allowing an accurate estimation of the instantaneous beat by beat pulse than the Gaussian approach.

Sign Language Detection Using Deep Learning
Authors: Srivastava Adarsh
Published: May 2023

Abstract: People with hearing impairments are found worldwide; therefore, the development of effective local level sign language recognition (SLR) tools is essential. We conducted a comprehensive review of automated sign language recognition based on machine/deep learning methods and techniques published between 2014 and 2021 and concluded that the current methods require conceptual classification to interpret all available data correctly. Thus, we turned our attention to elements that are common to almost all sign language recognition methodologies. This paper discusses their relative strengths and weaknesses, and we propose a general framework for researchers. This study also indicates that input modalities bear great significance in this field; it appears that recognition based on a combination of data sources, including vision-based and sensorbased channels, is superior to a unimodal analysis. In addition, recent advances have allowed researchers to move from simple recognition of sign language characters and words towards the capacity to translate continuous sign language communication with minimal delay. Many of the presented models are relatively effective for a range of tasks, but none currently possess the necessary generalization potential for commercial deployment. However, the pace of research is encouraging, and further progress is expected if specific difficulties are resolved.

Authors: Jadhav Prof. S.V.
Published: May 2023

Abstract: The construction industry consumes a huge amount of concrete due to fast urbanization and an increase in the construction field is depleting the resources of natural sand and manufactured sand at a high rate of concern hence leading to various problems in the environment. Besides that, cementitious material in concrete releases a large amount of CO2 into atmosphere. Similarly cost of concrete is attributed to the cost of its ingredients. The concept of using eco-friendly materials in concrete enhances scope for green concrete which utilizes many kinds of industrial by-products thus resulting in the use of substitute materials which are economical in concrete production. This has attracted the attention of investigators to look out for new replacements for fine aggregate and cement. The copper slag, which is an industrial by-product produced while smelting and refining copper may be a partial alternative for fine aggregate and GGBS, a byproduct of steel manufacturing industry can effectively replace cement with better durable concrete mix. In the present study river sand will be partially substituted by Copper slag 35 % constant and cement will be partially replaced by GGBS 5%, 10% and 20% and The strength parameters such as compressive strength, tensile strength will be confirmed for both 7 days, 14 days and 28 days of curing period.

Published: May 2023

The village government is currently given lots of new authority and funding from both the central and regional governments. Such things aim to increase the progress of development and prosperity of village communities. Unfortunately, this does not necessarily make the village governments run according to existing laws. Worse, they do not necessarily make progress. Concerning the prosperity of villagers, since the enactment of Law Number 22 of 1999, major changes have happened to villages. They are no longer areas that are directly supervised by the regional government or merely administrative areas. But the village has transformed into an independent and separate autonomous force with the peculiarities of self-government. This paper uses the normative juridical research method. Results show that the lengthy tenure of village heads impacts the democratization process in the regions. It will result in the stagnation of development progress in the villages. These conditions certainly resulted in negative speculations about the consequences arising from violations of justice to the possibility of many legal violations due to the long Village Head office term

Authors: Firdaus Muhammad Ihsan
Published: May 2023

The reform of criminal law in Indonesia has gone through a long process so it came to the enactment and promulgation of Act number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Law Code which revokes the colonial heritage Criminal Law Code. However, as a newly legal product, of course, there are legal issues in it, which is related to the offence of contempt against the government which includes executive, legislative and judicial powers. Specifically for contempt against the President and Vice President, a judicial review has been submitted to the Constitutional Court and ruled unconstitutional, but it has been re-enacted in the Criminal Law Code. So, based on this premise, this research analyzes how the offence of contempt against the government is in Act number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Law Code and whether the offence of contempt against the government is contrary to the principles of constitutionalism. This study uses legal research methods. So, the results of this research are first, that the offence of contempt against the government is contained in Articles 218-220 concerning attacks on honour or dignity and humiliation of the government and or state institutions which are regulated in Articles 240 and 241. Second, these offences are contrary to the principle of constitutionalism which states that power must be limited so that the recognition, respect, and protection of human rights can be properly manifested. So that the state should not regulate the offence, moreover the offence related to contempt of the President and Vice President has been adjudication unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court.

Published: May 2023

Geographical Indication (GI) is one of the Intellectual Property Rights features. In this instance, one component that needs to be highlighted is its registration. Unfortunately, there are several infringements of Indonesian GI exist, such as Indonesian product registration being claimed by foreigners or outsiders. This article examines the legal protection of Geographical Indications based on Indonesian Legal Instruments and the law of outsiders parties and the international’s rule in Geographical Indication dispute settlement among countries. This article uses normative juridical research methods with a descriptive-analytical approach using national and international laws and relevant regulations to its issues. The findings revealed that protecting Geographical Indications in the International domain often causes polemics due to the need for firmness regarding the International Agreements’ substance. The arrangement of Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) merely requires legal provisions for each country in protecting Geographical Indications. Consequently, each country has fundamental different legal for protecting GI, and the legal uncertainty in International Agreement raises new issues.
Stand-Alone Hybrid PV System by Using The Bypass Converter Topology to Optimize the Reliable of Device
Authors: Prasojo Fadillah , Mardiayah Nur Alif , Hidayat Khusnul
Published: May 2023

One of the applications of DC-DC converters in photovoltaic-battery hybrid systems is a two-way converter used for battery charging. The power supplied to the two-way converter experiences twice the power lost during the battery charging process. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange a phovoltaic-battery hybrid system topology so that only one stage of power conversion occurs when charging the battery so that the power loss is smaller. The proposed topology of this system uses three DC-DC converters connected to a battery and a DC bus. The one-way converter used in this system allows cross-connection between other DC-DC converters. Two one-way converters connect the phovoltaics to the DC bus and the photovoltaics to the battery, and the other one-way converter connects the battery to the DC bus. The purpose of using a one-way converter for charging the battery is called a bypass converter so that charging the battery does not go through two power conversions which cause twice the lost power. To make the proposed system more reliable, an inverter is added to the self-contained photovoltaic-battery hybrid system. Therefore, a control system is needed to maintain the DC bus voltage as input to the inverter using a double-loop control system. The two-loop Proportional-Integral control system is used for the DC electricity section while the Proportional-Resonant control system is used as an inverter control to maintain the balance of AC power. The results of system testing using Simulink/Matlab simulations show that the proposed topology uses a one-way converter capable of carrying out the battery charging process and can control the flow of power while maintaining DC and AC voltages.

La desvinculación entre los niveles educativos de secundaria y superior universitaria genera dificultades en el estudiantado provocando deserción estudiantil. Las asignaturas nivelatorias tienen la finalidad de reforzar las bases de conocimiento previas de las personas estudiantes, lo cual genera menor deserción y mejora el éxito académico universitario.  En este trabajo, se describe la Estrategia de Nivelación en Física, Química, y Matemática (Enfiquima), con el objetivo de evaluarla desde la perspectiva estudiantil, de rendimiento académico y, mediante un análisis FODA, para la búsqueda de acciones de mejora. En esta investigación, se obtuvieron datos cuantitativos y cualitativos, por ende, es de tipo mixta, de enfoque concurrente y de diseño de triangulación concurrente.  Para evaluar la Enfiquima, se trabajó con estudiantes de los tres cuatrimestres del 2021 y del primer cuatrimestre del 2022, y se realizó: a) un diagnóstico a una muestra de 286 personas estudiantes sobre su percepción con respecto a la Enfiquima y las asignaturas universitarias, b) la evaluación de la efectividad de la Enfiquima según el rendimiento académico en las asignaturas, para una población de 119 personas que cursaron, de forma previa, las asignaturas nivelatorias y c) un análisis FODA de la Enfiquima. Se determinó que el 89% (255) de las personas estudiantes encuestadas desconocían la existencia de las asignaturas niveladoras. Además, se comprobó, con datos cuantitativos, la efectividad de la Enfiquima en la asignatura de Química I; no así, en Matemáticas (por la diversidad de asignaturas según carrera cursada) y en Física I (poca población para análisis debido a requisitos solicitados en la asignatura). La mayoría del estudiantado, en Física I, Química I y Matemática, desconoce la existencia de la Enfiquima, y la mayoría de quienes cursaron nivelatoria y aprobaron la asignatura siguiente afirman que les benefició. En Química, el porcentaje de aprobación de las personas estudiantes que cursaron la nivelatoria se duplicó. Se identificaron acciones de mejora para la Enfiquima en la UNED.

Se presenta un análisis de las principales funciones y características de la asesoría académica para procesos de autoevaluación y acreditación de carreras universitarias que se desarrolla en el Centro de Evaluación Académica de la Universidad de Costa Rica, a partir de la sistematización y análisis de la producción documental desarrollada por el equipo asesor, durante el período de 1999 al 2020. Concretamente, se analiza la evolución y aporte desarrollado por la asesoría de seguimiento a carreras en procesos de autoevaluación y acreditadas, a partir del año 2013.  Se concluye que la asesoría de seguimiento, por sus características,  incide de manera directa en cuatro aspectos a saber: en el fomento del debate académico en torno a los temas de la gestión de calidad y la construcción del compromiso de mejoramiento; en la contribución con la gestión de la calidad de carreras acreditadas; en las respuestas a necesidades comunes presentes en las carreras acreditadas y reacreditadas; y en la generación de información precisa, acerca del funcionamiento de los sistemas de calidad de las carreras acreditadas.
