Acceptability of the female condom after a social marketing campaign in Campinas, Brazil
Authors:   Horizons Program
Published: December 2021

The female condom is a relatively new product that is intended to serve the dual role of protecting against unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Recent research has found moderate to high levels of initial trial and acceptance of the female condom among women. However, information is lacking about its continued use, particularly among women at high risk of HIV and other STIs. The female condom was registered in Brazil in January 1997 and since then has been available commercially through DKT, a social marketing organization. In addition to socially marketed female condoms, the Brazilian Ministry of Health has also given female condoms to public health clinics and community organizations to distribute free as part of activities targeted to vulnerable groups of women. This brief summarizes the findings from a study that examined the role of the female condom as a method of protection against HIV/STIs among female sex workers in Campinas, Brazil, who received increased access to the product and information about it through an educational and social marketing intervention.

THE POSITION OF WOMAN’S POLITICAL RIGHTS IN ISLAM AND THE INDONESIAN CONSTITUTION
Authors: Dahlan Dewi
Published: December 2021

Women's political rights are often debated. Often deprived of women's rights. This is because women are often only involved in domestic or domestic matters. Basically, women's rights are the same as men's rights, including citizenship rights, education rights, opinion rights, and other rights. In connection with the position of women in obtaining political rights in the Islamic system and concept, it has been widely expressed. Some argue that Islam does not recognize political rights for women. There are those who view the same thing, there are also those who argue that Islam establishes and recognizes political rights for women except for being leaders of the state. This paper tries to describe the political rights of women in Islam and also explores the constitution of the Indonesian state. The method used is to conduct research on several literatures on politics in general regarding women's political rights and then compare them with one another.

Through field research with data collection based on interviews, observation and documentation. This research shows that the fragmentation of religious authority among Muslim youth is motivated by the proliferation of pengajian in cities in Indonesia and the use of social media to da’wah messages disseminate.
Optimal nonlinear filtering of M-PSK signals against a background of harmonic interference with a random initial phase
Authors: Kulikov G. V. , Do Trung Tien , Samokhina E. V.
Published: December 2021

Objectives. The widespread use of radio data transmission systems using signals with multiposition phase shift keying (MPSK) is due to their high noise immunity and the simplicity of constructing the transmitting and receiving parts of the equipment. The conducted studies have shown that the presence of non-fluctuation interference, in particular, harmonic interference, in the radio channel significantly reduces the noise immunity of receiving discrete information. The energy loss in this case, depending on the interference intensity, can range from fractions of dB to 10 db or more. Therefore, interference suppression is an important task for such radio systems. The aim of the work is to synthesize and analyze an algorithm for optimal nonlinear filtering of MPSK signals against a background of harmonic interference with a random initial phase.

Methods. The provisions of the theory of optimal nonlinear signal filtering and methods of statistical radio engineering are used.

Results. The synthesis and analysis of the algorithm of optimal nonlinear filtering of MPSK signals against the background of harmonic interference with a random initial phase are carried out. The synthesized receiver contains a discrete symbol evaluation unit, two phase-locked frequency circuits of reference generators that form evaluation copies of the signal and interference, and cross-links between them. Analytical expressions are obtained that allow calculating the dependences of the bit error probability on the signal-to-noise ratio and the interference intensity µ. It is established that uncompensated fluctuations of the initial phase of the useful signal have a greater effect on the receiver noise immunity than similar fluctuations of the phase of harmonic interference, especially with low positional signals.

Conclusions. Comparison of the obtained results with the results obtained in the case when there are no harmonic interference compensation circuits shows that the use of the obtained phase filtering algorithms allows for almost complete suppression of harmonic interference. Thus, if µ = 0.5 and the probability of error is 10−2, the energy gain at M = 2 is about 2.5 dB, at M = 4 – about 6 dB, at M = 8 and M = 16 – at least 10 dB.
Comparative analysis of software optimization methods in context of branch predication on GPUs
Authors: Sesin I. Yu. , Bolbakov R. G.
Published: December 2021

General Purpose computing for Graphical Processing Units (GPGPU) technology is a powerful tool for offloading parallel data processing tasks to Graphical Processing Units (GPUs). This technology finds its use in variety of domains – from science and commerce to hobbyists. GPU-run general-purpose programs will inevitably run into performance issues stemming from code branch predication. Code predication is a GPU feature that makes both conditional branches execute, masking the results of incorrect branch. This leads to considerable performance losses for GPU programs that have large amounts of code hidden away behind conditional operators. This paper focuses on the analysis of existing approaches to improving software performance in the context of relieving the aforementioned performance loss. Description of said approaches is provided, along with their upsides, downsides and extents of their applicability and whether they address the outlined problem. Covered approaches include: optimizing compilers, JIT-compilation, branch predictor, speculative execution, adaptive optimization, run-time algorithm specialization, profile-guided optimization. It is shown that the aforementioned methods are mostly catered to CPU-specific issues and are generally not applicable, as far as branch-predication performance loss is concerned. Lastly, we outline the need for a separate performance improving approach, addressing specifics of branch predication and GPGPU workflow.
A discussion of S.M. Krylov’s book «Neocybernetics» (2008)
Authors: Gornev E. S. , Matyushkin I. V.
Published: December 2021

A comparative analysis of the “general formal technology (GFT)” by S. M. Krylov is carried out in the context of the published book of the authors “General Theory of Technologies and Microelectronics” (2020) and on the basis of his work of 2008. Despite the abstractness of the algebraic-algorithmic approach, Krylov offers a number of specific constructions that are in demand during the fourth industrial revolution and for the future development of industrial technology in nanoelectronics and biotechnology. Industrial technology is considered as a complex object of management, i.e., it is the object of study of the new discipline «neocybernetics». Although the foundations of this approach were laid in 1930s–1960s within the framework of logical and mathematical research, its expansion is inevitable when using self-organization processes to obtain functional supramolecular structures in technological processes of nanoelectronics (for example, DNA origami engineering). The issues of complexity quantification for a product itself (structure) and its manufacturing technology, or, according to Krylov, the complexity of technological automata, have become even more relevant than before. The theoretical issues of self-organization, the development of artificial life, and the creation of self-replicating technical systems also seem promising for solution. In our opinion, Krylov’s formal technology is an important “block” in the advancement of general theory of technologies (GTT) useful for describing the technology at the levels: operation, route, and process. We would like to encourage a wide range of readers to study the book and form a steady interest in general technological issues. The value of GTT and GFT extends beyond the sphere of technology and, in a narrow sense, factory production, but also into the area of «fine» regulation of physiology in biological objects and pharmacy, as well as into the problem field of cognitive sciences, psychology, and education. when the focus is on the personality structure and heterogeneous constructs «floating in the sea of the unconscious». Both S.M. Krylov and we demonstrate that the issues of industrial technology cannot be considered without abstract formalization and without reference to philosophy.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is defined as the abnormal bleeding from the uterine corpus in term of duration, volume, frequency and/or regularity. This condition occurs in 37% of adolescents and may affect the quality of life and increased hospitalization. Etiology is divided into structural and non-structural causes, known as PALM-COEIN. The most common etiology in adolescents is anovulatory menstruation due to immature hypothalamus-hypophysis axis. Diagnostic evaluation should include investigation in the etiology of AUB, anemia signs, and hemodynamic status. Treatment of AUB consists of hormonal and non-hormonal therapy. Therapy in adolescent is given based on the severity of bleeding, grading of anemia, and hemodynamic stability. Follow-up is required after therapy. Understanding AUB in adolescents can help clinicians deliver appropriate and comprehensive treatment. This review was aimed to explain about definition, epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding in adolescent.

Authors: A. Alkhafaji Dhirgham , K. Hamzah Hameed , S. Hadi Haider
Published: December 2021

In the present work, an experimental study on how to increase the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) in double pipe heat exchanger (DPHE) use of a variety of Al2O3 Nano-dispersion concentrations mixed in water as base fluid with air bubble injection for counter flow arrangement under turbulent flow conditions with (Re) Reynold number range from (6000 t0 45000) . The thermal performance of (DPHE) has been enhanced with the use of two techniques. The first, is represented by adding nanoparticles to hot water (inner pipe) raising the (HTC) inside the inner tube. Increase the volume concentration cause increase in the viscosity of the nanofluid leading to increase in friction factor .Secondly is represented by Air bubble injection in outer pipe with cold water to enhance the (HTC). The mobility of air bubbles inside the water from down to up by the force of the buoyancy, and the movement of these air bubbles results in significant mixture and turbulence within the water. The variations of number of thermal units (NTU), exergy loss, dimensionless exergy and (Nu) are evaluated. The investigated parameters were cold water volume flow rates (8, 10, 12 and14) l/min, flow in outer tube. Also, three different volume flow rates of air (12, 16 and 20) l/min mixed with water in outer tube. The volume flow rates of hot water remains constant at (8 l/min) flow in inner pipe with three volumetric concentrations of given nanofluid. The results showed that the air bubble injection throughout the tube gave maximum enhancement in heat transfer characteristics followed by the no air bubble injection. Since the enhancement in heat transfer characteristics varies linearly with the volumetric concentration of Nanofluids, Nanofluids with 0.3% of Al2O3 nanoparticles gave more enhancements in (HTC) than the case without nanofluid. The Nusselt number increased about (8% - 45%).

Authors: JASF Supriyati , Hapsari Indah
Published: December 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic that occurred in early 2020 caused a decrease in the turnover or income of individual taxpayers. Tax avoidance and tax incentives are considered a strategy by taxpayers to reduce tax payments and manage their funds, especially during this pandemic. The condition of the Taxpayer certainly affects the fulfillment of his tax obligations. On the other hand, taxpayer compliance will have an impact on state revenues. Individual taxpayer perspectives on aspects of accounting and taxation knowledge are important to realize the level of taxpayer compliance. This study also relates the efforts of tax avoidance and government tax incentives as mediating variables. The sample data obtained were 131 individual entrepreneur taxpayers who took advantage of tax incentives in Surabaya and its surroundings. The regression test results showed that accounting and taxation knowledge affect tax avoidance efforts, tax incentives, and taxpayer compliance. The results of the Sobel test show that tax avoidance and tax incentives can mediate the impact of accounting and taxation knowledge on taxpayer compliance. The test results of control variables (gender, education, training, length of business, number of employees, business turnover) showed no effect on taxpayer compliance.

Здійснено детальний аналіз вітчизняних наукових праць та законодавчої (нормативної) бази. Встановлено, що важливою умовою для вступу на державну службу та подальшого її проходження на всіх етапах є відповідний рівень професійної компетентності державного службовця. Від рівня професійної компетентності кожного державного службовця залежить ефективність функціонування державної служби загалом. Комунікативна компетенція висвітлена як вагома складова професійної компетентності. Враховуючи необхідність залучення державного службовця до міжнародних відносин, постійного перебування в  міжнародному інформаційному просторі, комунікативні навички та достатній рівень знання іноземної мови професійного спрямування стають вирішальними у даному питанні та дають впливають на формування та розвиток іншомовної комунікативної компетенції. З метою розкриття сутності цієї компетенції, наголошено на основних її компонентах та надано пояснення до кожного з них.

Published: December 2021

Background: The incidence of latent tuberculosis among healthcare workers, especially nurses, at public health centers in Indonesia has been increased. Therefore, factors related to the tuberculosis incidence need to be further investigated.
Objective: This study aimed to identify the determinants of latent tuberculosis infection among nurses at public health centers in Indonesia.
Methods: This non-experimental, cross-sectional study included 98 nurses. Data on the determinants of latent tuberculosis infection were collected using validated questionnaires, and the infection status was confirmed by Interferon Gamma Release Assay or IGRA test. Logistic regression was used for statistical analysis, with a significance level of p < 0.05.
Results: Health facilities for tuberculosis transmission prevention were available in all public health centers (100%). Protocols for preventingtuberculosis transmission including occupational health and safety training (OR = 13.24, 95% CI [2.29–58.55]; p = 0.001), handwashing after contact with patients or specimens (OR = 20.55, 95% CI [4.23–99.93]; p = 0.000), and wearing of medical masks (OR = 9.56, 95% CI [1.99–45.69];p = 0.005) were found to be significant determinants of latent tuberculosis infection among nurses.
Conclusion: The availability of protective equipment and implementation of health protocols among nurses at public health centers are the main determinants of latent tuberculosis infection. Hence, they should be maintained by all nurses to prevent the spread of tuberculosis.

cases of breast cancer have been reported in the
year 2011.Incidence of breast cancer in urban
women is 18-25/1lakh, rural women is 8.6/1lakh.
Due to lack of awareness, orthodoxy even after

Authors: Bothra Rishab
Published: December 2021

Diabetes mellitus is a disease in which blood
sugars level is abnormally high due to inability of the body
to produce or respond normally to insulin. It is among the
critical disease and lots of people are suffering from this
disease. Due to age, lack of exercise, hereditary diabetes,
bad diet, high blood pressure etc. can cause this disease.
Healthcare Industries have large volume of databases so
by Big Data Analytics we can extract meaningful insights
such as hidden patterns, unknown correlations to discover
knowledge from the data and predict the outcome
accordingly. In this paper we have proposed a diabetes
prediction model using Machine Learning algorithm for
better classification prediction. We have tried different
Machine Learning algorithms to find which gives the
better accuracy of classification.

Published: December 2021

Purpose In this study, we looked at the benefits of a
Nigella sativa supplementation diet and how nonessential fatty acids were controlled in Labeo rohit.
Methods For a total of 28 days, Labeo rohita were fed
various supplemental diets including 0.00 percent, 1%,
and 2.5 percent black cumin seed. The effect of black
cumin seed on Labeo rohita's fatty acid profile was
investigated. Saturated fatty acids were high at the
start of the trial, but they reduced after
supplementation, and the difference in fatty acids
between groups was statistically significant (?0.05).
When black cumin seed was added to fish diet, it
reduced saturated fatty acids (methyl
heptadedecanoate and methyl stearate) while
increasing unsaturated fatty acids (gamma-linolenic
acid and methyl cis-5,8,11,14 eicosatetraenoic)
ConclusionIn conclusion , adding 2.5 percent black
cumin seed bin feed enhanced un-saturated fatty acids,
which improved the quality of the fish flesh.
The Role of Infection and Autoimmunity in Urticaria and Angioedema as a Common Entity
Authors: Rudenko Michael
Published: December 2021

Chronic spontaneous urticaria with angioedema is prevalent, affecting approximately 1% of the general population, and has a significant impact on quality of life, according to epidemiological data. This article aims to broaden the view on the mechanisms of urticaria and the role of infection in the current environment. It is not easy to identify the cause of urticaria but appropriate steps to treat an underlying infection can, in some cases, improve the symptoms of urticaria and angioedema, reduce severity and duration, or lead to remission. Although chronic spontaneous urticaria with angioedema is a multifactorial condition involving inflammation, autoimmunity, and coagulation, IgE-mediated autoimmunity, or autoallergy, is thought to play a major role. Every year, more is learnt about the role of cells releasing mediators, underlying autoimmune processes that lead to the development of mast cell activation and urticaria. It has become increasingly clear that mast cell roles in immune system responses are not limited to an allergic role; they are key players in protective immune responses, both innate and adaptive, to various pathogens and in defence of some infections. Several guidelines, consensus papers, and practice parameters have been developed for the management of chronic urticaria. The Dermatology Section of the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (EAACI), the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA2LEN), the European Dermatology Forum (EDF), and the World Allergy Organization (WAO) produce a guideline, which is revised every 4 years by a global panel of experts in the field. Infections may be a cause, aggravating factor, or unassociated bystander in chronic urticaria. The author looked at evidence, using a keyword search, for the role of viral and bacterial infections in acute, acute recurrent, and chronic urticaria and angioedema, including COVID-19, herpes, viral hepatitis, and Helicobacter pylori.
High-Sensitivity Assays for C-Reactive Protein as a Systemic Inflammatory Marker in Assessing Asthma
Authors: Ong Leong Tung
Published: December 2021

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition, and the main features include airway hyper-responsiveness and inflammation of the airway with the accumulation of inflammatory cells. Increased level of plasma fibrinogen and serum amyloid A suggests the involvement of systemic inflammation in asthma. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein that produced mainly by hepatocytes and is an inflammatory marker. CRP levels monitoring is useful in the evaluation of early inflammation and efficacy of treatment in acute-phase illnesses. Several studies show that asthma alone can cause an increase in high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) when compared with the healthy controls. Besides that, steroid-naïve patients have a higher mean value of hs-CRP levels compared with those on inhaled corticosteroid. Furthermore, studies have shown that an elevated hs-CRP level has a positive correlation with non-atopic asthma but not atopic asthma. Additionally, an increase in serum hs-CRP levels correlates with the severity of asthma. Therefore, serum hs-CRP is a useful surrogate marker to predict the severity of inflammation of the bronchus in asthma and assess the asthma status.
Diabetic Kidney Disease in Childhood and Adolescence: Conventional and Novel Renoprotective Strategies
Authors: Uwaezuoke Samuel N , Ayuk Adaeze C
Published: December 2021

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is defined as a clinical syndrome consisting of persistent macroalbuminuria, progressive decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), hypertension, increased cardiovascular disease events, and the associated mortality of these conditions. The disease evolves from the microvascular complications of poorly controlled Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The pathogenic pathways comprise renal haemodynamic changes, ischaemia and inflammation, and overactive renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS), through which several events cascade down from hyperglycaemia to renal fibrosis. Conventional and novel renoprotective strategies target modifiable DKD risk factors and specific stages of the pathogenic pathways, respectively. Although these strategies may slow DKD progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), novel drugs are still undergoing trials for validation in human participants. This narrative review appraises these renoprotective strategies and highlights the current clinical staging and pathogenesis of the disease.
Survey Attention and Self-Reported Political Behavior
Authors: Alvarez R. Michael , Li Yimeng
Published: December 2021

Survey research methodology is evolving rapidly, as new technologies provide new opportunities. One of the areas of innovation regards the development of online interview best practices, and the advancement of methods that allow researchers to measure the attention that subjects are devoting to the survey task. Reliable measurement of subject attention can yield important information about the quality of the survey response. In this paper, we take advantage of an innovative survey we conducted in 2018, in which we directly connect survey responses to administrative data, allowing us to directly assess the association between survey attention and response quality. We show that attentive survey subjects are more likely to provide accurate survey responses regarding a number of behaviors and attributes that we can validate with our administrative data. The best strategy to deal with inattentive respondents, however, depends on the correlation between respondent attention and the outcome of interest.

Apolipoprotein-based drug delivery is a promising approach to develop safe nanoparticles capable of targeted drug delivery for various diseases. In this work, we have synthesized a lipid-based nanoparticle (NPs) that we have called “Aposomes” presenting native apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100), the primary protein present in Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL) on its surface. The aposomes were synthesized from LDL isolated from blood plasma using a microfluidic approach. The synthesized aposomes had a diameter of 91 ± 4 nm and a neutral surface charge of 0.7 mV ± mV. Protein analysis using western blot and flow cytometry confirmed the presence of apoB-100 on the nanoparticle’s surface. Furthermore, Aposomes retained liposomes’ drug loading capabilities, demonstrating a prolonged release curve with ∼80% cargo release at 4 hours. Considering the natural tropism of LDL towards the atherosclerotic plaques, we evaluated the biological properties of aposomes in a mouse model of advanced atherosclerosis. We observed a ∼20-fold increase in targeting of plaques when comparing aposomes to control liposomes. Additionally, aposomes presented a favorable biocompatibility profile that showed no deviation from typical values in liver toxicity markers (i.e., LDH, ALT, AST, Cholesterol). The results of this study demonstrate the possibilities of using apolipoprotein-based approaches to create nanoparticles with active targeting capabilities and could be the basis for future cardiovascular therapies.

Published: December 2021

Worldwide, cancer is the second leading cause of mortality after cardiovascular diseases. Among the numerous malignant tumors in human, digestive system cancers are the primary cause of morbidity and mortality. Acetylation and deacetylation are crucially involved in cancer occurrence and development; in addition, the deacetylation process is regulated by histone deacetylases (HDACs). Among the 18 human HDACs that have been reported, HDAC6 has been widely studied. There is upregulated HDAC6 expression in numerous types of tumor tissues and is closely associated with clinicopathological characteristics. Moreover, several HDAC6 inhibitors have been identified; furthermore, there has been extensive research on their ability to inhibit the growth of many tumors. This review summarizes the roles of HDAC6 in different primary digestive system malignancies.
