It has been suggested that B-cell receptor (BCRs) stimulation by specific antigens plays a pathogenic role in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Here, it was the aim to screen for specific reactivities of DLBCL-BCRs in the spectrum of autoantigens and antigens of infectious origin. Arsenite resistance protein 2 (Ars2) was identified as the BCR target of 3/5 ABC-type DLBCL cell lines and 2/11 primary DLBCL cases. Compared to controls, Ars2 was hypo-phosphorylated exclusively in cases and cell lines with Ars2-specific BCRs. In a validation cohort, hypo-phosphorylated Ars2 was found in 8/31 ABC-type, but only 1/20 germinal center B cell (GBC)-like type DLBCL. Incubation with Ars2 induced BCR-pathway activation and increased proliferation, while an Ars2/ETA-toxin conjugate induced killing of cell lines with Ars2-reactive BCRs. Ars2 appears to play a role in a subgroup of ABC-type DLBCLs. Moreover, transformed DLBCL lines with Ars2-reactive BCRs still show growth advantage after incubation with Ars2. These results provide knowledge about the pathogenic role of a specific antigen stimulating the BCR pathway in DLCBL.

Published: July 2020

In terms of geographical distribution and consumption, potatoes occupy one of the leading positions in the structure of food production in Ukraine. It is also used extensively as animal feed. The versatility of use in diff erent
sectors of the economy with potatoes cannot be compared to any crop. Potato is of great importance as a raw material for the production of starch, sugar, molasses, alcohol, glucose and etc.
A signifi cant reduction in the commodity production of food potatoe in farms is related to the solution a whole complex of important issues, in particular seed production, agro-technology of cultivation, application of highly eff ective pesticides, availability of agricultural machinery and material-technical support.
The difficult ecological and energy situation in modern agriculture proves that it is possible to obtain high and stable yields of all crops only if there are varieties in production adapted to diff erent soil and climatic conditions.
Variety is one of the important factors of yield stability and fi xed assets of agricultural production. A variety, as a genotype or a set of very close genotypes, exists in a specific environment and, moreover, interacts with it, encountering complex communication, intensity and time of manifestation, abiotic and biotic factors. At the same time, a connection is established between a variety and an environment that infl uences the formation and manifestation of morphological, economic and biological characters.
The aim of the research was to study the growth, development and yield of early ripe potato varieties in the rightbank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine.
The article presents the results of studies on the cultivation of early ripe varieties of potatoes. Namely, the germination and survival of potato plants was studied, which amounted to 89.5 and 87.3 % in the Skarbnytsa variety,
90.2 and 88.7 % in the Shchedryk variety, and 88.6 and 86.5 % in the Dnipryanka variety; the number of formed stems per plant is calculated, which is 3.3 in the Skarbnytsa variety, 3.6 in the Shchedryk variety and 2.7 in the
Dniprianka variety. The dynamics of the mass increase and the fractional composition of potato tubers are shown.
On average, during the research, the average weight of tubers from the bush was high for the Shchedryk variety and amounted to 616.2 g, somewhat less than those for the Skarbnytsa (484,5 g) and Dniprianka (397,8 g) varieties. It was established that the Shchedryk variety had the highest potato productivity in the experiment – 250.3 c/ha, in the Skarbnytsa and Dnipryanka varieties, the yield was 210.0 and 201.2 c/ha, respectively.

Published: July 2020

The study aims to conduct an objective analysis of the eff ectiveness of modern technology of industrial grape plantations cultivation, to compare them with similar costs for cultivation of other agricultural crops considering the modern global trend.
Planting prepared rootstocks in a permanent place, according to the scheme, followed by their grafting with the desired variety on the spot can be an option to the traditional technology of growing grafted seedlings and planting grape plantations. The introduction of alternative technology, using modern mobile tools (secateurs for grafting components on site, aquosorbents, biological adhesives), reduces fi nancial cost by 15.9 % and the cost of chemical and man-made energy by 71.7 % at the stage of growing grafted planting material grapes. It also provides for cost reduce for creation of its industrial plantations.
The analysis of the eff ectiveness of traditional technology for growing grafted planting material shows that the technology is too burdensome for the industry and needs signifi cant revision in order to signifi cantly reduce fi nancial, resource and energy costs, to use natural energy fl ows more effi ciently. In general, the same applies to the technology of creation and productive cultivation of industrial grape plantations. Saving
and further development of the industry, increasing the profi tability of viticulture, reducing anthropogenic pressure on the environment are possible on the basis of new, non-traditional energy-saving technologies for the creation of industrial plantations and their productive cultivation.
Key words: energy indicators, energy intensity of cultivation, analysis of energy effi ciency, planting material, cultivation technology, industrial grape plantations.
SILAGE: THE RESEARCH VIEWPOINT
Authors: Lancaster R.J.
Published: July 2020

IN 1958, there was available commercially in Britain and Australia a vacuum silage kit which was expensive and useless. It had one redeeming feature, however. It inspired Jean Doutr-e to work on the vacuum idea, and, in collaboration with George Jowsey, to develop the technique which has captured world-wide interest. It is' relatively inexpensive for this approach to silage making and is practical. It has the great merit that it can be built into the existing New Zealand silage-making procedures without any modifications to those procedures.
Drug treatment of acute vertigo
Authors: Masueva S. S. , Zamergrad M. V.
Published: July 2020

Acute vertigo is a severe condition that requires urgent treatment. Vertigo can be caused by peripheral or central vestibular disorders of various etiopathology. Whatever the reason of vestibular dizziness, it is characterized by severe attacks with imbalance, nausea and vomiting in the acute period. Symptomatic treatment consists of vestibular suppressants and antiemetic drugs. There are several key principles regarding management of patients with vertigo that includes combined use of vestibular suppressants and antiemetics, which allows potentiation of their effects, limitation the use of symptomatic therapy to 2–3 days and perhaps earlier initiation of vestibular rehabilitation which effectiveness can be improved with agents that stimulate central vestibular adaptation.

Tradeoff between the Conservation of Soil C Stocks and Vegetation Productivity in Temperate Grasslands
Authors: Kohler Caroline , Morvan-Bertrand Annette , Cliquet Jean-Bernard , Klumpp Katja , Lemauviel-Lavenant Servane
Published: July 2020

Grassland management affects ecosystem services such as the conservation of C stocks. The aim of this study was to analyze the relation between vegetation production and soil C stocks for a set of seven temperate grasslands of various productivity levels. We estimated vegetation production directly through measurements of aboveground biomass (>5 cm), stubble and root biomass, and indirectly via plant community functioning. Soil C stocks were measured for bulk soil (organic C, SOC) and hot-water-extractable C (HWC) of topsoil. Plant community functioning was characterized by community-weighted mean (CWM) traits and functional diversity index. Results show a negative relation between biomass production and SOCstock. The tradeoff between productivity and SOCstock could be linked to plant community functioning and particularly Leaf Dry Matter content (LDMCCWM) which appeared to be the most relevant descriptor of plant community functioning. High SOCstock could be associated to low productivity, conservative strategy (high LDMCCWM), low soil labile C content and grassland age. Our results show a strong direct effect of management and grassland age on plant community, which in turn affects plant tissue quality and subsequent organic matter mineralization. Old permanent grasslands appeared less productive but represent an occasion for C storage and thus global change mitigation.
Improving Productivity in Integrated Fish-Vegetable Farming Systems with Recycled Fish Pond Sediments
Authors: Thi Da Chau , Anh Tu Phan , Livsey John , Tang Van Tai , Berg Håkan , Manzoni Stefano
Published: July 2020

The increasing intensification of aquaculture systems requires the development of strategies to reduce their environmental impacts such as pollution caused by the discharge of nutrient rich sediments into local water bodies. Recycling of fish pond sediments (FPS) as fertilizer has been proposed as a possible solution that may also reduce the reliance on synthetic fertilizers. With a case study in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam, we determined suitable mixtures of striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) pond sediment (PPS) and locally sourced organic amendments of rice straw (RS), or common water hyacinth (WH) to fertilize cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L.) in an integrated cucumber–giant gourami fish (Osphronemus goramy) farming system. Highest nutrient concentrations were found when mixing 30% PPS with 70% RS or WH. When used in combination with chemical fertilizer, it was found that a 25% to 75% reduction in chemical fertilizer application could be achieved, while also increasing cucumber yields, with the highest yields found when RS was used in organic amendments. In combination with the additional income from fish production, integrated farming systems such as that demonstrated in this study, may increase both farm income and production diversity.
Application of Bacteriophages to Control Vibrio alginolyticus Contamination in Oyster (Saccostrea glomerata) Larvae

Published: July 2020

Mortalities of bivalve larvae and spat linked with Vibrio spp. infection have been described in hatcheries since 1959, causing potential development of resistant bacteria. A reliable and sustainable solution to this problem is yet to be developed. Potential treatment of bacterial infection with bacteriophages is gaining interest in aquaculture as a more sustainable option for managing Vibrio spp. infection. This study assessed the effectiveness of bacteriophages (Φ-5, Φ-6, and Φ-7) against pathogenic Vibrio isolates (USC-26004 and USC-26005). These phage isolates were found to belong to the Myoviridae viral family. A total of 212 ORFs of Φ-5 were identified and annotated. The genome of this phage contained putative thymidine kinase and lysin enzyme. During infections with phages, the OD values of the isolates USC-26005 and USC-26004 remained stable at a much lower reading compared to the control after 9 h of incubation. Mortality rate of oyster (Saccostrea glomerata) larvae was 28.2 ± 3.5% in the bacteriophage treatment group, compared to 77.9 ± 9.1% in the bacterial treatment group after 24 h incubation. Findings of this study indicate that lytic phages might be utilized as potential bio-control agents of luminescent bacterial disease in oyster hatcheries.
Poor Sleep Quality, Depression and Social Support Are Determinants of Serum Phosphate Level among Hemodialysis Patients in Malaysia

Published: July 2020

Despite optimal control of serum phosphate level being imperative to avoid undesirable health outcomes, hyperphosphataemia is a highly prevalent mineral abnormality among the dialysis population. This study aimed to determine factors associated with hyperphosphatemia among hemodialysis patients in Malaysia. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to ascertain the possible factors that influence serum phosphate levels. A total of 217 hemodialysis patients were recruited. Hyperphosphatemia was prevalent. Only approximately 25% of the patients were aware that optimal control of hyperphosphatemia requires the combined effort of phosphate binder medication therapy, dietary restriction, and dialysis prescription. The presence of diabetes mellitus may affect serum phosphate levels, complicating dietary phosphorus management. Patients who were less depressive portrayed higher serum phosphate levels, implying intentional non-compliance. Better compliance on phosphate binder, longer sleep duration, and higher social support was associated with a lower level of serum phosphate. Despite sleep disturbance being one of the most prevalent and intense symptom burdens identified by hemodialysis patients, relatively few studies have addressed this issue. It is time to formulate sleep therapeutic interventions besides the encouragement of strong social support, hoping which many clinical outcomes including hyperphosphatemia can be better controlled among hemodialysis patients.
The Diverse Roles of Monocytes in Cryptococcosis
Authors: Fu Man Shun , Drummond Rebecca A.
Published: July 2020

Monocytes are considered to play a central role in the pathogenesis of Cryptococcus neoformans infection. Monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells are key components for the control of infection, but paradoxically they can also contribute to detrimental host responses and may even support fungal proliferation and dissemination. Simultaneously, the C. neoformans polysaccharide capsule can impair the functions of monocytes. Although monocytes are often seen as simple precursor cells, they also function as independent immune effector cells. In this review, we summarize these monocyte-specific functions during cryptococcal infection and the influence of C. neoformans on monocyte responses. We also cover the most recent findings on the functional and phenotypic heterogeneity of monocytes and discuss how new advanced technologies provide a platform to address outstanding questions in the field.
HUKUM WARIS ISLAM DALAM PELAKSANAAN DAN PANDANGAN MASYARAKAT ENGGANO BENGKULU
Authors: Mikho Ardinata Ahmad Dasan,
Published: July 2020

Kekerabatan suku bangsa masyarakat pulau Enggano dipertimbangkan melalui keturunan ibu (matrilineal). Sistem kekerabatan matrilineal merupakan sistem kekerabatan yang anggota-anggotanya menarik garis keturunan hanya dari pihak ibu saja terus menerus ke atas karena faktor historis etnik Enggano dahulu sering berperang antar suku dan seringnya kaum lelaki yang merantau meninggalkan kampung halaman, sehingga agar harta tidak hilang dan tetap terjaga harta waris dilimpahkan kepada anak perempuan tertua.

Hukum Waris Islam di dalam Masyarakat Enggano dipahami secara subtanntif, bahwa terdapat nilai-nilai dalam agama Islam yang sudah diadopsi dan mewarnai sistem hukum adat yang mereka terapkan dimasyarakat selama ini. Ada kecenderungan keengganan masyarakat menerapkan hukum waris Islam karena menganggap bahwa hukum waris Islam terlalu banyak aturan yang pada akhirnya menjauhkan dari rasa keadilan dalam proses pembagian waris. Keadilan yang dipahami oleh masyarakat adalah keadilan yang mendasarkan atas keadilan dalam perspektif hukum adat; Masyarakat Bengkulu menempatkan hukum waris Islam dalam berbagai dimensi, berdasarkan pemahamannya terhadap pewarisan yang sebatas menggunakan prinsip keadilan menurut perspektif adat. Oleh karena itu, hukum waris Islam ditempatkan dalam dua dimensi, yaitu: pertama, menempatkan hukum waris Islam sebagai sebuah tata aturan yang berisi nilai-nilai agama, yang bagi masyarakat Enggano nilai-nilai tersebut sudah diterapkan dalam hukum waris adatnya. Kedua, hukum waris Islam ditempatkan seperti halnya hukum adat. Pemahaman masyarakat Enggano bahwa apa yang diyakini sebagai hukum waris adat yang sudah mengadopsi hukum waris Islam pada akhirnya menempatkan pemahamanya pada dimensi yang ambigu. Satu sisi mereka menganggap bahwa hukum waris yang diterapkanya sebagai sebuah tata aturan yang sudah relavan dan tidak bertentangan dengan hukum waris Islam. Sementara disisi yang lain, implementasi dari hukum waris adat tersebut masih jauh dari prinsip dasar hukum waris Islam. Dalam perspektif teori konstruksi sosial, bahwa pemahaman dan pelaksanaan masyarakat Enggano terhadap hukum waris Islam merupakan bentuk dari kristalisasi nilai-nilai yang mereka yakini sebagai sebuah tata aturan yang merupakan konstruksi dari kebiasaan dan adat budaya masyarakat Rejang dan Serawai. Sehingga pada akhirnya konstruksi ini merupakan perpaduan antara nilai-nilai lama yang sudah ada (adat) dengan nilai-nilai agama yang dianutnya (nilai Islam). Meskipun nilai baru yang lahir bukan merupakan bentuk asimilasi, tetapi bentuk dari akulturasi.

Applying a Systems Perspective to Preventive Health: How Can It Be Useful? Comment on "What Can Policy-Makers Get Out of Systems Thinking? Policy Partners’ Experiences of a Systems-Focused Research Collaboration in Preventive Health"
Authors: Egan Matt , McGill Elizabeth
Published: July 2020

Advocates suggest that a paradigm shift in preventive health towards systems thinking is desirable and may be underway. In a recent study of policy-makers’ opinions, Haynes and colleagues found a mixed response to an Australian initiative that sought to apply systems theories and associated methods to preventive health. Some were enthusiastic about systems, but others were concerned or unconvinced about its usefulness. This commentary responds to such concerns. We argue that a systems perspective can help provide policy-makers with timely evidence to inform decisions about intervention planning and delivery. We also suggest that research applying a systems perspective could provide policy-makers with evidence to support planning and incremental decision-making; make recommendations to support intervention adaptability; consider potential barriers due to incoherent systems, and consider the political consequences of interventions.
Beyond the Science: Advancing the "Art and Craft" of Implementation in the Training and Practice of Global Health
Authors: Eboreime Ejemai Amaize , Banke-Thomas Aduragbemi
Published: July 2020

Interesting debates are ongoing on how to develop practical implementation science competencies that can bridge the "know-do" gap in global health. We advance these debates by arguing that apprenticeship and mentorship models drawn from "art and craft" used in industry is the missing piece of the puzzle that will bridge the persisting gap between academics and real-world practitioners. We propose examples of such models and how they can be applied to improve existing capacity building programs, as well as implementation in practice.

Smart financial decision-making practices based on the level of knowledge and literacy of an individual will enhance the ability to manage financial management practices wisely. The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of financial literacy among public sector workers from Klang Valley including Putrajaya. In addition, the study aimed to identify differences in the level of financial literacy based on gender and marital status and to identify the relationship between financial literacy level and academic achievement. The data collected were analyzed descriptively to obtain frequency, percentage and mean using software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The reliability of the questionnaire was α = 0.878. The findings of the study show that the level of financial literacy among public sector workers is at a high level of knowledge. Public sector employees are also aware of the importance of more efficient and organized financial management. They are also able to control the flow of financial expenditures with the help of support activities such as overtime, ancillary work such as business. In addition, they are also exposed to personal financial management which will help to improve financial literacy. However, the attitude and ability and financial attitude of the respondents remain at a moderate level as it is sometimes difficult for individuals to control their spending when there is no alternative to supporting income to cover their daily expenses.

WAQF CREDIBILITY ON FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Hj Mohiddin Dr Hjh Mas Nooraini
Published: July 2020

Students' application for higher education admission is significantly increasing from time to time. As a result, it effects the increasing financial cost to provide the facilities, human resources, and others. A student with high potential but cannot afford to cover the expenses, has no opportunity for his further studies due to their financial problem. Financing problems for higher education institutions is not a new problem, in fact, it becomes a big issue nowadays. Brunei Darussalam is fortunate since the government still provides free education for locals who fulfill the requirements. However, currently, there are complaints from the parents on educational financing. The same situation will happen in Brunei if we do not find a solution that can solve the problem. This research will identify to what extent waqf credibility can solve the financial problems for higher education students. The research methodology will be used as a descriptive qualitative by analyzing the content by reviewing informative secondary data such as journals, paper works, and relevant articles. In order to solve the financial problems in a higher education institution, waqf contribution is very significant and should be expanded for higher education development as an ummah development agent.
STUDENTS’ ETHICS AND RELIGION: A STUDY AT UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA SABAH, LABUAN INTERNATIONAL CAMPUS
Authors: Had Azizan , Garijih Starry
Published: July 2020

The research tries to answer the question of ‘does religion, education, and social surroundings play a role in developing a student’s ethical behavior?’ To understand more on the topic, I have surveyed students at the Labuan branch of University Malaysia Sabah in Malaysia, a public university where most of the students are taking a first degree in Business and Computer Studies. Using a survey questionnaire, I test five important hypotheses: whether ethical attitudes are affected by religiosity, religion, social life, university education, and by what happens around them at home. The objective of the survey is to determine whether their awareness of ethical conduct is based on their religion, courses taken at the university, or other external factors. The result of the survey will show whether ethical awareness is determined by internal factors such as religion and home education, or by external factors such as university and school education, courses taken at the university or their social life.
AN OMNI-DIRECTIONAL ELECTRIC PRUNING SAW FOR FOREST TENDING
Authors: Shang Qingqing , Wang Bin , Yang Jiawei , Lu Yizhi , Yin Tongming
Published: July 2020

This paper attempts to design a universal, easy-to-use pruning tool suitable for taller branches. For this purpose, the author proposed an omni-directional electric pruning saw. The saw has a 360° rotatable head, which can prune branches in all directions. Under the saw blade, a V-shaped groove was added so that the branches can be introduced, cut and released stably. A telescopic rod was included in the design to prune branches at different heights. To facilitate the retraction and release of wire, a winding reel was provided to make the wire change with the length of the rod. In addition, there is a deadlock device at the handle, which prevents the manmade safety hazards. The proposed pruning saw was tested through an experiment. The results show that the saw could be used for various branches and was 4 times more efficient than the traditional hand saw.
PROBLEMS OF PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF MIGRATION BY THE POPULATION OF THE FINNO-UGRIC REPUBLICS OF RUSSIA (BASED ON MATERIALS FROM MARI EL, MORDOVIA, KOMI, UDMURTIA)
Authors: Vorontsov Vladimir Stepanovich , Martynenko Alexander Valentinovich , Orlova Olga Viktorovna , Shabaev Yuri Petrovich
Published: July 2020

The article is an analysis of the results of sociological surveys conducted by its authors in Mari El, Mordovia, Komi, Udmurtia in the fall of 2018.The study was conducted according to the methodology of the Ethnological Monitoring and Early Warning Conflict Network of the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Russian Academy of Sciences and was aimed at identifying and assessing conflict and integration, the potential of the local population in the field of migration relations. On the whole, these polls revealed a rather high degree of tolerance of the residents of these republics towards migrants, including foreign workers from Central Asia. Manifestations of migrant phobia in figures and comments reflected the opinion of a smaller part of respondents, which, however, is a significant proportion. Respondents indicated both positive and negative aspects and consequences of labor migration. Most respondents are still inclined to consider migration as a positive phenomenon. As recommendations, it is necessary to indicate the need for further intensification and further improvement of measures aimed at helping to adapt and stimulating the process of integration of labor migrants of various ethnic groups into regional societies. Informing migrants about the cultural features of the “host country”, involving them in national and local events and holidays (City Day, Russia Day, various ethnocultural festivals) should be carried out more often, also, being more consistent and less formal is also favorable. In addition, do not underestimate the potential of traditional faiths that “patronize” migrants. In addition to the socio-economic context, the effective integration of migrants is an important incentive for cultural development and for the development of dialogue of cultures.
THE RELATIONS OF CONTINGENT AND NECESSARY, NORMATIVE AND ACTUAL AS A WORLDVIEW PHILOSOPHY IDEA
Authors: Karpovich V.N.
Published: July 2020

The relation of the contingent and the necessary truths and between facts and duties is an important philosophical problem. Hume formulated it in a paradoxical form, arguing that people can, for the sake of momentary benefit, commit an act leading to bad consequences for themselves and for other people. This argument has been widely discussed in the literature, with different approaches and different interpretations. Here we propose to include in the reasoning not only moral, but also natural laws, so that the combination of two types of modalities in the premises would allow to get deductively a moral fact as a conclusion from another moral fact plus a connected combination of deontic and aletic modalities in the premises.

REALIZABILITY OF PERSONAL VALUES AT DIFFERENT LEVEL OF TOLERANCE FOR AMBIGUITY
Authors: Salikhova A.B.
Published: July 2020

Drawing on the idea of the need for a balance of external and internal ambiguity, we proposed a hypothesis that the difference in meaning types of values is defined by the degree of barrier-feasibility of meaning-formation processes in the context of the realization of personal values in life. This assumption was checked by comparing the contrasting groups on tolerance for ambiguity (n = 59 and n = 60). These groups were created on the basis of data from 227 respondents collected with D. McLain's Multiple Stimulus Types Ambiguity Tolerance Scale (MSTAT). The realizability and barrier indices for twelve terminal values (M. Rokich) and the individual realizability indices of the values of each participant were compared. Higher realizability of personal values was found in highly tolerant subjects. Among low-tolerance subjects levels of barrier values were higher. We identified values, the meaning types of which differ to the greatest and least degree in people with different levels of tolerance for ambiguity. The data obtained deepens the understanding of the cycles of human existential interaction with the world.

The study and analysis of direction of arrival(DOA) estimation has been a very challenging aspect in wireless communication systems, radar and sonar in the presence of a fading channel. Extended cyclic MUSIC subspace based method is reviewed for the DOA when noise is present. An extension of the Cyclic MUSIC algorithm is the Extended mode of the cyclic MUSIC which uses an extended version of the data array vector. Based upon the spectral correlation of the inbound signals these algorithms can estimate the signals’ direction of arrival. The spatially correlated noises, present degrade the performance of the Cyclic MUSIC algorithms and also fail to make an estimate of the signals' direction of arrival when they are closely spaced. The paper proposes an improved DOA estimation technique of Wavelet Decomposition when spatially correlated noises are present. The signals present at the receiver side are denoised and the required estimates of the transmitted signals are obtained by using the Extended Cyclic MUSIC algorithm to the denoised data. Simulations prove that the output SNR has been enhanced considerably.

Sickle cell disease, a genetic disease of hemoglobin, mono-mutational and autosomal recessive [1]. In Morocco, the whole epidemiology of hemoglobinopathies remains unidentified. The World Health Organization “WHO” estimates that in Morocco up to 6.5% are infected; A fact which suggests the existence of 30,000 cases of major forms of Thalassemia and sickle cell disease in Morocco. Several unpublished studies conducted by the Hospital for children of the universuty hospital center have shown that northwestern Morocco is a favorite haemoglobinopathies area and that the Gharb Chrarda Beni Hssein region (GCBH), seems the most affected region especially at the level of Kenitra city, at the commune of Mnasra which is a hotbed of thalassemia.The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes induced by the sickle cell disease on the growth of weight loss of sickle cell children and to assess their interaction with certain disease severity factors. The study is based on a sample of 32 sickle cell patients who are hospitalized at the pediatric level between 2012 and 2015 in the Kénitra provincial hospital. The results confirm unstable prevalence of the weight-of-weight status of the population according to the 2007 WHO growth references for the 1-month-61 month age group, with a prevalence of 21.73 % (N = 5), The study also revealed that meagerness affects 8.69% (N = 2), while overweight attains 0%. Based on these results, it was concluded that stool-weight loss is more severe in sickle cell children than normal children in comparison with the results of the study by Aboussaleh [2], El Hioui [3] ,and Sbaibi [ 4].

As result of the modification of polyolefin, composite materials based on them were obtained for the use in special equipment in order to entrain their heat resistance. Data analysis DTA (differential thermal analysis) of the DTA curve of this polyethylene sample suggests a bimodal nature of their MWD (molecular weight distribution) which differs from polyethylene with unimodal MWD and a series of endo oxidation effects with a maximum temperature of 245, 335, 358 and 435 °С. X-ray structural studies showed that the crystal system and the size of the unit cells of the crystal lattice of LLDPE practically does not differ from those of LDPE. LLDPE as well as LDPE and HDPE has a layered structure with dense packing of macromolecules. In terms of crystallinity and crystallite sizes, LLDPE are on par with HDPE and significantly differ from LDPE. These data are in agreement with published data. The parameters of the unit cells of the crystal structure of UHMWPE are close to those of LLDPE, and by crystallinity it occupies middle ground between HDPE and LLDPE.

News is a routine in everyone's life. It helps in enhancing the knowledge on what happens around the world. Fake news is a fictional information madeup with the intension to delude and hence the knowledge acquired becomes of no use. As fake news spreads extensively it has a negative impact in the society and so fake news detection has become an emerging research area. The paper deals with a solution to fake news detection using the methods, deep learning and Natural Language Processing. The dataset is trained using deep neural network. The dataset needs to be well formatted before given to the network which is made possible using the technique of Natural Language Processing and thus predicts whether a news is fake or not.

Modeling and Fabrication of robotic systems and their control for pick &place and maintenance tasks is highly complex activity involving coordination of various sub-systems. The entire design has four important modules: (i) CAD Modeling (ii) Control System Design (iii) Machine Vision and Image Processing, (iv) Hardware Development and Testing. The five- axis articulated manipulator equipped with a vision camera in eye-to-hand configuration is designed for performing the pick and place operations of the defected tiles in a systematic manner. Dynamics of manipulator is required for design of model-based controllers. Interactive programs are developed in Matlab for kinematics and dynamics. Three-dimensional manipulator assembly configuration is modeled in Pro-E software. Motion analysis is conducted in Arduino software in order to compare the results obtained from the classical kinematics. The test set-up is developed using vision camera and microcontroller platform to guide the robot joint servos so as to perform defected object replacement activity. Presences of the coordinate of the region are indicated with the use of image-processing operations.
A simple multi-feature classification to recognize human emotions in Images
Authors: Ipe Navin
Published: July 2020

Emotion recognition by the human brain, normally incorporates context, body language, facial expressions, verbal cues, non-verbal cues, gestures and tone of voice. When considering only the face, piecing together various aspects of each facial feature is critical in identifying the emotion. Since viewing a single facial feature in isolation may result in inaccuracies, this paper attempts training neural networks to first identify specific
facial features in isolation, and then use the general pattern of expressions on the face to identify the overall emotion. The reason for classification inaccuracies are also examined.
