Authors: Rero Dentiana , Maryani Enok
Published: September 2022

Indonesia is one of the countries in the world with various kinds of cultural diversity and different customs. Culture and traditions are formed due to several factors, one of which is geographical factors. Along with the development of the times, culture and customs have an essential role in creating the spatial structure. The spatial frame formed in each region will vary according to the ordinary conditions of the community in carrying out life. A spatial pattern influenced by geographical factors is the Sa'o Atalaki house, located in the Wolotopo traditional village, Ende Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. This study examines the spatial pattern of the Sa'o Atalaki traditional house and its relationship to geographic spatial patterns. This research uses a descriptive analysis method with literature study and direct observation. The study results are the spatial pattern of the Sa'o Atalaki traditional house consisting of several parts that function as a burial place, a deliberation room, and a traditional offering room for ancestors. Meanwhile, spatial planning in geography is divided into no parts, namely spatial, spatial ecology, and spatial complex. The spatial arrangement of traditional houses and geography is made according to the needs of each spatial function, as well as social and environmental impacts.Â Keywords:Â Traditional House, Spatial, Sa'o Atalaki, Geographical Spatial, Ende Regency

ADDITION OF LOCAL CRYOTHERAPY FOR TREATMENT OF POST-MASTECTOMY LYMPHEDEMA
Authors: Askary Z.M. , Elshazly M.
Published: September 2022

Worldwide, lymphedema can present as a significant health issue. Left untreated, it can have long-term medical and psychological consequences for patients. Cryotherapy is a new physical therapy modality used for many purposes including reduction of pain, inflammation, and edema. It is thought to decrease interstitial fluid volume through many mechanisms. Therefore, it is reasonable to think that cryotherapy might have a positive effect in treatment of lymphedema. The goal of this study was to investigate how local cryotherapy in combination with standard therapy affects patient outcomes. Forty post-mastectomy female patients aged 40-60 years old with lymphedema were referred to the outpatient clinics of the Faculty of Physical Therapy at South Valley University for medical treatment and follow-up by the vascular surgery department. Patients were randomly divided into two groups of equal size. Traditional physical therapy programs (manual lymphatic drainage, pneumatic compression, bandaging, breathing exercises, circulatory exercises, shoulder mobilizations, and ROM exercises) were combined with pulsed local cryotherapy three times per week for 12 weeks in Group (A). For 12 weeks, Group (B) received only traditional physical therapy three times per week. Patients were evaluated using circumferential measurement with tape at the wrist, below the elbow, and above the elbow level, as well as ultrasonography to assess skin thickness before the start of physical therapy, 6 weeks later, and at the end of the treatment (after 12 weeks). Results indicate that cryotherapy is an effective adjunct modality for the treatment of secondary lymphedema and should be added to physical therapy protocols for lymphedema rehabilitation.

Mathematical Differential Equation in Calculating the Strength of Building Beam Structure Impact Resistance
Authors: Li Qing , Chen Hao , Mohamed Hamdy
Published: September 2022

This paper establishes a numerical simulation model of the impact resistance of building beam structures by using differential equations. The model fully considers the bolt preload, contact, large nonlinear deformation, and strain rate effect of the building beam structure. The paper establishes and deduces the calculation formulas of the impact force and the lateral displacement of the beam. The study found that under the impact load of the same strength, the failure form of the building beam structure is serious at the assembly point. The local macro/microsimulation results agree with the experimental results. The paper’s results verify the rationality and effectiveness of the numerical method in this paper.
Transient Residual Voltage Influence on the Dynamic Load Transfer
Authors: Baiceanu Florin Constantin , Munteanu Florin , Nemes Ciprian-Mircea
Published: September 2022

The successful operation of back-up supply sources in the case of dynamic loads transfer in industrial electricity supply installation is mainly depending on the mitigation of the residual voltage that appears in fault scenarios that result in losing supply from the main grid. The decrease of the interval of presence of residual bus voltage depends highly on the local load and the network configuration. A high time constant (seconds) of the decreasing residual voltage can lead to the disconnection of critical consumers. In this paper, it is presented a simple, cost-effective method for dynamic load transfer that can replace the Motor Bus Transfer approach. The validity of the method is tested on a real large industrial site from Romania. The case study shows that the proposed approach can achieve a voltage return time of around 750 ms.

Genetic Differentiation and Molecular Phylogenetics of North African Catfish from Three Distinct Waterbodies
Authors: Popoola Omoniyi Michael
Published: September 2022

The population structure and genetic variability of North African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell 1822) were investigated using partial mitochondrial DNA cytochrome b region sequences. Fifty-four (54) samples were investigated from three geographically isolated rivers in Nigeria. The analysis of 53 haplotypes revealed greater haplotype diversity (0.99930) and nucleotide diversity (p) (0.07270). According to an analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), the genetic diversity of North African catfish within populations is significantly higher than the genetic diversity across populations. The FST scores (0.75000, 0.94792 and 0.95699) indicated that North African catfish populations in three Nigerian freshwater bodies had a strong genetic structure. The phylogenetic reconstruction of unique haplotypes revealed the placement of a haplotype (Ogbese) linked by others from all three groups with a point mutation ranging from 1 to 24 nucleotides. North African catfish populations in the Asejire and Ureje are genetically diverse, as evidenced by a high level of haplotype diversity of 1.0000, low nucleotide diversity spanning from 0.05101 to 0.07889, and high FST values (within-population genetic variation). The common haplotypes between some populations and mixes of haplotypes from different populations within the same genetic cluster demonstrate that the population genetic structure is not distinct.

Published: September 2022

Fish availability in the coastal landing center highlights the assumption of stocks in the marine fishing zone of the ocean. This study, therefore, aimed to analyze the availability of marine fishes in the Bangladesh Fisheries Development Corporation (BFDC) landing center, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh between January 2021 and May 2021. A total of 54 species were recorded, of which 42 were marine fishes, 7 were shellfishes and 5 were large fishes. The dominant orders were Perciformes (56%), Scombriformes (17%) and Clupeiformes (10%). More than 56% of the total marine fishes were classified as Least Concern, nearly 10% were categorized as Near Threatened and 2% were marked Vulnerable. The dominant orders of shellfish were Portunidae (43%), followed by Penaidae (29%), Loligonidae (14%) and Octopopidae (14%). Shrimp Penaeous monodon had the highest consumer demand, whereas consumer demand for non-conventional shellfish was comparatively low. Most of the shellfish were categorized as Least Concern. Among large fishes, the wider availability of sharks (five species) and rays (two species) was observed in the winter and monsoon season, although the consumer demand for those large fishes was low. The Vulnerable sharks and rays were Sphyma zygaena and Mobula birostris. This study elucidates the present scenario of marine fishes in the BFDC fish landing center, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.
High-performance tri-band graphene plasmonic microstrip patch antenna using superstrate double-face metamaterial for THz communications
Authors: Khaleel Sherif A. , Hamad Ehab K. I. , Saleh Mohamed B.
Published: September 2022

Recently, graphene-patch antennas have been widely used in communication technology, especially in THz applications due to the extraordinary properties of graphene material. Herein, a graphene-based rectangular microstrip patch antenna is designed on an FR4 substrate material (ɛr = 4.3). A single and double-faced superstrate MTM is placed upon the radiating patch for di erent purposes, such as enhancing the overall antenna performance, protecting the patch from environmental jeopardies, and generating a multiband resonance frequency. A single face superstrate triangle SRR unit was used to produce a dual-band frequency at 3.5 and 4.331 THz. The S
11 of the dual-band structure is achieved to be −26.78 dB and −46.25 dB with a bandwidth of 400 GHz and 460 GHz, respectively. The double face superstrate MTM unit cell of the triangle SRR printed on the opposite face gives another resonant frequency, so, triple frequency bands of 2.32, 3.35, and 4.38 THz with a wide impedance bandwidth of 230, 520, and 610 GHz, were generated, respectively. The double-face superstrate MTM not only enhances the antenna performance but also generates another resonant frequency that could be used in the next 6G communications. The proposed antenna is designed and optimized using two commercial 3D full-wave software, CST Microwave Studio and Ansoft HFSS, to validate the results.
A concept for discrimination of electrical fault from cyber attack in smart electric grid
Authors: Agrawal Aniruddha , Affijulla Shaik
Published: September 2022

This letter proposes a concept to discriminate an electrical fault from a cyber attack in the modern power system. A cyber attack factor is introduced which may mislead the bus voltage stability virtually at load buses. The proposed cyber attack models are validated by executing multiple cyber attacks at a time on Western system coordinating council (WSCC) 9 bus test power system by using Siemens PSS/E and MATLAB softwares. Further, the impact of electrical fault and cyber attack on the WSCC 9 bus test power systems voltage stability has been analysed to develop a discrimination algorithm in reference to chosen load index. Despite its simplicity, the proposed discrimination algorithm is robust, accurate and quite suitable to develop intelligent measures for mal-operations against cyber attacks in the smart electric grid.
In Vitro Study of Mechanical Properties of Teeth Restored with Bulk-fill and Universal Composites Using Different Dentin Adhesives
Authors: Lőrincz Hajnal , Bardocz-Veres Zsuzsanna , Strnad Gabriela , Kerekes-Máthé Bernadette
Published: September 2022

Background: The most common dental materials are resin composite direct restorative materials and dentin adhesives, which are marketed with different techniques, application recommendations, and compositions, making it difficult to choose the most suitable material and method for different cases.

The present study aimed to investigate mechanical properties of teeth restored with universal and bulk-fill composites, by using different dentin adhesives and techniques, under in vitro conditions.

Material and methods: The study was carried out on freshly extracted premolar and molar teeth. After cavity preparation, the teeth were restored with conventional and bulk-fill resin composites, using different adhesive techniques. To assess the effect of the cavity preparation, the direct restoration, and the adhesive protocol on the tooth structure, a transillumination method and Vickers’ microhardness measurements were carried out.

Results: The universal composite showed an average hardness of 55.35 HV at the occlusal level of the restoration, while the bulk-fill composite showed an average of 79.93 HV at the same level. A statistically significant difference was found between the hardness values of the two composites (p = 0.02). The transillumination test revealed micro-fissures in the tooth structure in the first phase after cavity preparation and also after polymerization.

Conclusions: The bulk-fill composite showed higher hardness values than the universal composite. The tested dentin adhesives did not significantly affect the hardness of the dentin at the level of the adhesive interface. Fissures can appear in any phase of the direct restoration, after cavity preparation and polymerization.

Asset Pricing Puzzle: New Evidence of Fama-French Five-Factors in Emerging Market Perspectives
Authors: Hossain Mohammed Sawkat
Published: September 2022

The asset pricing theory introduced by Fama and French (2015) documents five systematic common risk factors for equity valuation, such as: (a) market beta, (b) firm size, (c) firm value, (d) profitability and (e) investment strategy. However, corporate finance literature does not provide us with a particularly robust check if the FF5 model is equally exposed to estimate equity returns in an emerging market. Hence, based on Fama and Macbeth (1973) as well as Fama and French (1993, 2015, 2020), this paper applies multivariate regression (time series & cross-sectional) analysis for the robust test of common risk factors and risk premia respectively in an emerging market context, and finally validates that all of the systematic risk factors are significant except firm profitability and investment strategy. We found that the distinguishing semi-strong level of market efficiency influences the explanatory power of the underlying risk exposure for stock return performance differently in an emerging market. The finding could be important in estimating equity fair pricing that is yet to be examined for an emerging market. Therefore, with the reconfirmedthree significant common risk factors, the market practitioners, policy makers, financial analysts, and, above all, investors can estimate equity value appropriately, and thereby take optimal financial and investment decisions.
Indicadores de desigualdad y Gobierno Electrónico: revisión sistemática y estado del arte
Authors: Mola Débora Jeanette , Reyna Cecilia
Published: September 2022

La desigualdad es un problema que requiere respuestas urgentes. En la búsqueda de soluciones, los investigadores emplean diferentes indicadores de desigualdad y se centran en distintos aspectos del Gobierno Electrónico (GE). Objetivo. Revisar estudios empíricos que analizaron el rol del ingreso, el nivel socioeconómico (NSE) y el estatus social (ES) en el uso, intención de uso y adopción del GE. Método. Se realizó una revisión narrativa, seleccionando estudios publicados desde 2015 a 2020. Se describieron los indicadores de desigualdad y la forma de operacionalizarlos, las variables dependientes empleadas y los resultados hallados. Resultados/Conclusiones. En el 70 % de los estudios se midió el ingreso como una variable ordinal; identificándose un predominio del aspecto económico como indicador de desigualdad. En el 30 % se usó el NSE empleando distintas formas de operacionalizarlo y en ninguno el ES. Las variables dependientes uso, intención de uso y adopción se emplearon como sinónimos, omitiéndose la post-adopción y apropiación del GE. Los resultados hallados en los artículos revisados eran dispares; los indicadores de desigualdad a veces fueron estadísticamente significativos, otras no. Una posible explicación es la dificultad metodológica para abordar la complejidad de la desigualdad, frecuentemente medida unidimensional y cuantitativamente. Un reto es conjugar enfoques teóricos y metodológicos que aborden la desigualdad multidimensionalmente y con anclaje local.

Results of X-ray diffraction analysis of the materials obtained after the milling and calcination processes revealed that the increment of the pre-milling time improved the reactivity of NaOH and TiO2, thereby significantly reduced the content of NiO impurity in the NaNi0.5Ti0.5O2 product. The as-synthesized cathode material possessed an excellent electrochemical performance with 77% capacity (compared to the second cycle) retained after 50 cycles of charge/discharge, and 60% capacity retention when the rate of charge/discharge increased from 0.5 to 8 C.
Use of principles of humanism in social work
Authors: Hnatchuk Oksana , Shestakova Kateryna , Yaremchuk Serhii
Published: September 2022

The article shows that the satisfaction of humanitarian problems in social work contributes to a fuller realization of human disclosure in society, especially in times of transformation of social values at the stage of creating a "consumer society". In the process of social work is the formation of life and moral and ethical values due to the interaction of the individual and society, which is the highest value, as it is about human life, protecting it from crisis situations. However, the progress of society, the creation of social conditions under which full realization would take place, the disclosure of man is possible only through the satisfaction of humanitarian problems.

In the process of social work, both vital and moral and ethical values are formed. The axiological function of social work is mainly manifested in the interaction of employee and client, as well as in cooperation between social workers and social services. The highest value of social work is recognized by the International Code of Ethics for Social Workers, as social work is based on various humanistic, religious and democratic ideals and philosophical theories and is a universal opportunity to meet human needs arising from human and social interactions and human potential.

Person of the modern world easily changes activities, interests, beliefs, values, which leads to a spiritual crisis. This crisis is caused not only by global processes, but also by internal issues, including social protection, when a person is unable to respond quickly to change, loses habitual social behavior and finds himself in a stressful or difficult life situation (unemployment, illness, homelessness, refugee status, etc.). Supporting a person in such a situation, helping to find meaning in life, raising self-esteem, adaptation to new social conditions will largely depend on the professional behavior of social workers, their correct interaction with those in difficult situations. Practical activity in this case will be to recognize the biological, psychological, social and spiritual aspects of human life, understanding them as whole individuals.

Paradoxical reactions (PR) during tuberculosis treatment are rare in HIV negative subjects and result in polymorphic clinical presentations which could sometimes lead to confusion. We report the case of a postpartum mother, HIV negative who was placed on treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. She experienced transient clinical improvement and developed PR which mimicked lung malignancy. This is a rare phenomenon and may result in diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma in resource poor settings.

Amaç: Covid-19 pandemisi 2020 yılının başlarından beri tüm dünyayı etkilemiştir. Özellikle bu süreç içerisinde eğitim-öğretim faaliyetleri olumsuz yönde etkilenmiştir. Bu çalışma ile Covid-19 pandemisi döneminde çevrimiçi anatomi eğitiminin öğrenci geri bildirimleri ile değerlendirilmesi ve ilerleyen yıllarda çevrimiçi eğitimin daha aktif olarak kullanılmasının verimli olup olmayacağı sorgulanmıştır. Bununla birlikte, geleneksel anatomi öğretimini uzaktan öğretim yöntemiyle karşılaştırarak tıp öğrencilerinde Covid-19 salgınının anatomi öğretimi üzerindeki etkisinin belirlemesi üzerine tasarlanmıştır.Yöntem: Çalışma Akdeniz Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesinde eğitim gören Dönem II ve Dönem III öğrencileri ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya Dönem 2 öğrencilerinden 241 kişi, Dönem 3 öğrencilerinden ise 159 kişi olmak üzere toplamda 400 öğrenci dâhil edilmiştir. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin %55’i erkek, %45’i kadındır. Dönem III öğrencileri anatomi eğitimini ağırlıklı olarak çevrimiçi yöntemlerle gerçekleştirirken, Dönem II öğrencileri anatomi eğitimini ağırlıklı olarak hibrit uygulama yöntemiyle tamamlamışlardır. Çalışmada Covid-19 pandemisi sırasında anatomi disiplini için sanal öğretim yöntemi hakkındaki görüşleri ve öğretim metotlarının, öğrenci üzerinde etkisi incelenmiştir. Yapılan anket çalışmasının sonucunda elde edilen veriler SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) 25.00 paket programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada 0,05'ten küçük p değerleri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edilmiştir.Bulgular: Geleneksel anatomi öğretimi en çok tercih edilen ve etkili öğretim yöntemi olmaya devam etmektedir. Öğrenciler, çevrimiçi anatomi yöntemlerinden en çok derslerin önceden kaydedilmiş video kayıtlarını yüksek düzeyde tercih etmişlerdir (p=0.01). Çalışmanın sonuçları değerlendirildiğinde çevrim içi yöntemlerin etkinlik ve verimlilik açısından faydalı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte öğrencilerin yüz yüze eğitim yöntemlerine kıyasla çevrimiçi eğitim yöntemlerini “kısmen” tercih ettiği belirlenmiştir (p=0,04). Bu bağlamda çevrimiçi eğitimin, yüz yüze eğitimin yerine tamamen geçemeyeceği fakat yüz yüze eğitim yöntemlerinin çevrimiçi eğitim yöntemleriyle desteklenebileceği sonucuna varılmaktadır.Sonuç: Çalışmanın sonucunda elde ettiğimiz veriler doğrultusunda pandemi döneminde öğrencilerinin aldığı çevrimiçi anatomi derslerinin ve yöntemlerinin mesleki gelişimleri açısından oldukça önemli olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Ancak çevrimiçi eğitimin, yüz yüze gerçekleştirilen örgün eğitim sisteminin yerini alamayacağını bir gerçektir. Bu çalışmanın çevrimiçi eğitim ve eğitim yöntemleri açısından sağlık bilimleri alanlarında yapılacak olan çalışmalar için bir kaynak oluşturacağını düşünmekteyiz. Bununla birlikte çeşitli uzaktan eğitim yöntemlerini geleneksel yüz yüze anatomi öğretimiyle karşılaştıran bu çalışma ile dijital öğrenmenin yüz yüze öğrenmeyi destekleyici bir işleve sahip olabileceği öngörülmektedir.
Use of direct oral anticoagulants in multiple myeloma patients taking immunomodulators
Authors: Грибкова И.В.
Published: September 2022

Иммуномодулирующие препараты (ИМП) используются для лечения многих гематологических злокачественных новообразований, при этом их применение связано с повышенным риском венозных тромбоэмболических осложнений (ВТЭО), что требует проведения тромбопрофилактики. Всё чаще в практической медицине используются прямые пероральные антикоагулянты (ПОАК). В настоящее время продолжается изучение роли этих препаратов при наличии у пациентов злокачественных новообразований. Целью настоящего обзора явилась оценка безопасности и эффективности применения ПОАК в качестве тромбопрофилактики у пациентов с множественной миеломой (ММ), получающих ИМП. Были проанализированы клинические исследования, а также отчёты о клинических случаях, опубликованных в мировой литературе с 2014 по 2021 гг. В работе систематизирована информация о тромботических явлениях и кровотечениях, заре гистрированных в данных исследованиях. Результаты анализа говорят об эффективности и безопасности применения ПОАК у пациентов с ММ, находящихся на терапии ИМП. Таким образом, ПОАК могут представлять собой привлекательную альтернативу варфарину, ацетилсалициловой кислоте и низкомолекулярным гепаринам для профилактики ВТЭО у этой группы пациентов. В работе также обсуждаются проблемы, связанные с применением ПОАК, и возможные пути их решения.

Immunomodulatory drugs (IMDs) are used to treat multiple hematologic malignancies. At the same time, their use is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolic complications (VTEC), which requires thromboprophylaxis. Increasingly, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are being used in practical medicine. Currently, the role of these drugs in patients with malignant neoplasms is being studied. The aim of this review was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DOACs as thromboprophylaxis in multiple myeloma (MM) patients receiving IMDs. Clinical studies were analyzed, as well as clinical case reports published in the world literature from 2014 to 2021. The paper systematizes information about thrombotic events and bleeding registered in these studies. Analysis results indicate the efficacy and safety of DOACs using in MM patients on IMDs therapy. Thus, DOACs may represent an attractive alternative to warfarin, acetylsalicylic acid, and low molecular weight heparins for VTEC prevention in this group of patients. The paper also discusses the problems associated with DOACs use and possible ways of solutions.
Complexities of the interaction of Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) pyrrole-imine chelates with human serum albumin
Authors: Sookai Sheldon , Munro Orde
Published: September 2022

Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant blood protein and is responsible for the transport of many exogenous compounds, including clinically deployed and investigational drugs: most are organic. Here, Ni(II), Pd(II) and Pt(II) chelates of a tetradentate bis(pyrrole-imine) ligand, H2PrPyrr, were used to delineate how the identity of the d8 metal ion impacts the compound’s affinity for HSA. Fluorescence quenching data acquired on the native protein and HSA bound to site-specific probes showed the compounds target sites close enough to its single Trp-214 residue (subdomain IIA) to quench the fluorophore. The bimolecular quenching rate constants, k_q, were of the order of 10^1 to 10^4 times higher than the maximum diffusion-controlled collision constant of a biomolecule in water (10^10 M-1 s-1), reflecting a static fluorescence quenching mechanism. The Stern-Volmer constants, K_SV, spanned the range 10^4 M-1 to 10^6 M-1 at 37 oC, while the affinity constants, K_a, ranged from ~3 x 10^3 M-1 to ~8 x 10^7 M–1 at 37 oC, and followed the order Pd(PrPyrr) >> Pt(PrPyrr) > Ni(PrPyrr) > H2PrPyrr. The thermodynamics reflect enthalpically driven ligand uptake, hinging mainly on London dispersion forces (metal ion dependent), along with general multi-site binding. Notably, two reactive species exist for the Pd(II) system, affording the complex HSA•{Pda}{Pdb}. Molecular docking simulations (GLIDE XP) support the spectroscopic data, confirming that all ligands can target multiple binding sites in silico—all within ~20 Å of Trp-214. Although far- and near-UV CD spectroscopy indicated that the optically inactive ligands negligibly perturb the secondary and tertiary structure of HSA, substantial induced CD (ICD) spectra were recorded for the protein-bound ligands and could be simulated by hybrid QM:MM TD-DFT methods. This study highlights how appropriately chelated square planar d8 metal ions neither decompose nor demetallate after uptake by HSA, proving that metallodrug transport and delivery by HSA might be more feasible than generally acknowledged.
