Penggambaran transgender di media massa terkadang menimbulkan transphobia di masyarakat. Media seringkali lepas tanggung jawab terhadap penggambaran tentang transgender, sehingga masyarakat sebaiknya menuntut media untuk bertanggung jawab terhadap informasi yang disebarkan kepada masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan menggambarkan transgender dalam novel novel Calabai karya Pepi Al Bayqunie dan memberi gambaran dari sudut pandang yang berbeda mengenai transgender. Novel Calabai menceritakan Saidi, seorang transgender dalam petualangannya mencari jati diri hingga bisa menjadi bissu, pemimpin spiritual tertinggi masyarakat Bugis. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi teks. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis teks berupa analisis isi kualitatif dengan melihat teks pada novel yang merepresentasikan transgender. Temuan penelitian: keistimewaan seorang dengan dua gender dalam satu tubuh memberikan pandangan baru. Kaum yang dianggap “abnormal” dalam masyarakat ini mampu menjadi pemimpin keagamaan pada kelompok masyarakat tertentu. Transgender yang direpresentasikan dalam novel ini hanyalah Calabai, yaitu individu yang terlahir sebagai laki-laki namun memiliki pembawaan dan penampilan seperti perempuan. Tendensi negatif maupun positif terlihat pada penggunaan kata dan tanda baca dalam menyebut transgender. Ada tiga kata yang sering digunakan untuk menyebut transgender: banci, calabai, dan waria.

Published: January 2021

Priority is given to ensure safety and efficiency of technological processes in hazardous industries, especially in mining operations. Such factories utilize enormous amount of safety sensors. Triggering any one of them stops operations both locally and globally. For example, a single belt conveyor is fitted with up to a hundred sensors and reaches few kilometers length. It is very important to quickly localize a position of a triggered safety sensor to proceed with elimination of an accident. The purpose of this work is to create a hardware-software monitoring system of extended objects (f.e. belt conveyor), which detects a triggering of a two-wire safety line. According to the purpose of this work the following were developed and tested: a physical control model that replicates the triggering of safety sensors, a hardware architecture of monitoring system, a mathematical model of separate nodes of devices, electrical schematics, and a device prototype. A function algorithms and software architectures for each device were developed and tested. As a result an experimental system prototype was developed with accordance to the rules of hazardous environment. On a basis of a monitoring system and a physical control model a simulation bench was developed. By results of concluded experiments following system specifications were deducted: safety sensor triggering detection in less than 100 ms, an address definition from 1 up to 3 simultaneously triggered safety sensors, definition of the type of accident. Created monitoring system may be used to control a variety of industrial extended objects, in particular in gas- and dust-hazardous environment, using discrete safety sensors.

Este artigo trata-se de uma revisão narrativa que buscou discutir a polifarmácia e os desafios na assistência aos idosos que apresentam duas ou mais doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT), como hipertensão arterial, diabetes, cardiopatias e doenças de caráter reumático, caracterizando o quadro de polimorbidade. Além disso, abordou a formação de uma equipe multidisciplinar com conhecimento em geriatria como maneira de auxiliar o autocuidado e diminuir a polimorbidade e a polifarmácia, possibilitando uma melhoria na qualidade de vida para os idosos. Assim sendo, observa-se que a falta de interação entre os níveis de saúde e a assistência média esporádica resultam em um mau prognóstico para o paciente. Ainda há de considerar-se que a polifarmácia traz uma associação de medicamentos que pode causar reações adversas e sintomas que apontem para algum tipo de enfermidade, mas que são fruto do uso indiscriminado de medicação, exigindo que novos medicamentos sejam associados para controle dos sintomas encontrados e piorando o quadro de saúde do paciente. Por fim, nota-se que a organização social do trabalho do profissional de saúde em concomitância com as limitações na área de atuação dos profissionais de saúde propicia uma baixa qualidade de vida durante o processo de senescência.

The N-Terminal Helix-Turn-Helix Motif of Transcription Factors MarA and Rob Drives DNA Recognition
Authors: Corbella Marina , Liao Qinghua , Moreira Catia , Kasson Peter M. , Kamerlin Shina Caroline Lynn
Published: January 2021

DNA-binding proteins play an important role in gene regulation and cellular function. The transcription factors MarA and Rob are two homologous members of the AraC/XylS family that regulate multidrug resistance. They share a common DNA-binding domain, and Rob possesses an additional C-terminal domain that permits binding of low-molecular weight effectors. Both proteins possess two helix-turn-helix (HTH) motifs capable of binding DNA; however, while MarA interacts with its promoter through both HTH-motifs, prior studies indicate that Rob binding to DNA via a single HTH-motif is sufficient for tight binding. In the present work, we perform microsecond time scale all-atom simulations of the binding of both transcription factors to different DNA sequences to understand the determinants of DNA recognition and binding. Our simulations characterize sequence-specific changes in dynamical behavior upon DNA binding, showcasing the role of Arg40 of the N-terminal HTH-motif in allowing for specific tight binding. Finally, our simulations demonstrate that an acidic C-terminal loop of Rob can control the DNA binding mode, facilitating interconversion between the distinct DNA binding modes observed in MarA and Rob. In doing so, we provide detailed molecular insight into DNA binding and recognition by these proteins, which in turn is an important step towards the efficient design of anti-virulence agents that target these proteins.

Authors: Punitha Thetrarauv Oli  , Mahitha MC
Published: January 2021

INTRODUCTION: Foam sclerotherapy is used for treating varicose veins in our institution for patients who are not willing for surgery, debilitated patients, recurrent ulcers, cosmetic & in SFV (Sapheno Femoral Vein) <6 mm size. AIM: The aim of this study was to find and assess the rate and pattern of post–sclerotherapy complications in our institution compared with international standards. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The present study was retrospective in nature and case records of patients who underwent foam sclerotherapy [2009-2013, lower limb-Ultrasound (USG) guided and blind] in our hospital [10% Sodiumtetradecylsulfate (STS), Tessari technique] were assessed to look for indication, tolerance to the procedure and immediate outcomes. A pre-tested and pre-validated questionnaire was used and physical examination were done to assess post-procedural complications. Statistical significance was p< 0.05. RESULTS: Among 112 patients, 62.5 % were aged >50 years and 69% were males. It was observed that 22% had indication as recurrence; 43% had mild pain during procedure and 36.6% developed post-foam sclerotherapy complications. 47.6% of patients whose age were <50 years had CEAP(Clinical Etiological Anatomical Pathological) criteria C2(p=0.007). 48.8% with complications had multiple criteria(p=0.012) and 57.7% C2 had least complication (p=0.000). Cosmetic indication showed least tolerance. Use of 10% STS was found to have lesser complication rate (36%), compared to study which had 76% success with STS 3% and complication-64%. CONCLUSION: Foam sclerotherapy is less invasive and its efficacy could be improved by performing under USG guidance, selection of sclerosant, appropriate candidate (age>50 years, multiple CEAP criteria, without pre-existing co-morbidities).
Functional interaction between macrophages and hepatocytes dictate the outcome of liver fibrosis
Authors: Xie Min , Chia Ren Hui , Li Dan , Teo Fanny Xueting , Krueger Christian , Sabapathy Kanaga
Published: January 2021

Hepatocytes and liver-resident macrophages known as Kupffer cells (KCs) are key cell types involved in liver fibrosis. The transcription factor c-Jun plays a fundamental role in regulating hepatocyte and macrophage functions. We have examined c-Jun’s role in the functional interaction of these cells during liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride. While hepatocyte-specific c-jun deletion led to increased fibrosis, the opposite outcome was observed when c-jun was deleted in both hepatocytes and KCs. Molecular analyses revealed compromised cytokine gene expression as the apical event related to the phenotype. Yet, purified hepatocytes from both mouse cohorts showed similar defects in cytokine gene expression. However, we noted increased macrophage infiltration in the absence of c-Jun in hepatocytes, which when chemically depleted, reversed the phenotype. Consistently, c-jun deletion in KCs alone also led to reduced fibrosis and cytokine gene expression. By contrast, c-jun deletion in hepatocytes and KCs did not affect the resolution phase after fibrotic injury. These data together demonstrate a pro-fibrogenic role for c-Jun in hepatocytes and KCs that functionally interact to regulate liver fibrosis.

Published: January 2021

Highly sensitive approaches to target insulin-expressing cells would allow more effective imaging, sorting, and analysis of pancreatic β-cells. Here, we introduce the use of a reaction-based probe, diacetylated Zinpyr1 (DA-ZP1), to image pancreatic β-cells and β-like cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells. We harness the high intracellular zinc concentration of β-cells to induce a fluorescence signal in cells after administration of DA-ZP1. Given its specificity and rapid uptake by cells, we used DA-ZP1 to purify live stem cell-derived β-like cells as confirmed by immunostaining analysis. We tested the ability of DA-ZP1 to image transplanted human islet grafts and endogenous mouse pancreatic islets in vivo after its systemic administration into mice. Thus, DA-ZP1 enables purification of insulin-secreting β-like cells for downstream applications, such as functional studies, gene-expression, and cell–cell interaction analyses and can be used to label engrafted human islets and endogenous mouse islets in vivo.

In the era of agriculture 4.0, cutting-edge technologies including Information and communication technology (ICT) is being introduced into traditional agriculture. As farm intelligence emerges as a key area of smart agriculture, the scope of agriculture has expanded from the seed industry to distribution and logistics, however the area that is still most directly connected to the physical agricultural environment is smart farming. Cybersecurity incidents or cybercrimes in smart farming can directly damage crops and harm human safety. Research on individual technical elements that constitute smart farming has been ongoing for a long time relatively, however it has not been long since the work of systematically identifying and classifying threats to smart agriculture as a whole. In this study, STRIDE threat modeling is used to identify cyber threats to greenhouse and make system design more robust. Through this work, we have derived 126 threats and have created 4 types of attack trees. It will be the basis to allow systematic threat classification more clearly in smart greenhouse.
Enhanced Classification Method for Phishing Emails Detection

Published: January 2021

Emails are currently the main communication method worldwide as it proven in its efficiency. Phishing emails in the other hand is one of the major threats which results in significant losses, estimated at billions of dollars. Phishing emails is a more dynamic problem, a struggle between the phishers and defenders where the phishers have more flexibility in manipulating the emails features and evading the anti-phishing techniques. Many solutions have been proposed to mitigate the phishing emails impact on the targeted sectors, but none have achieved 100% detection and accuracy. As phishing techniques are evolving, the solutions need to be evolved and generalized in order to mitigate as much as possible. This article presents a new emergent classification model based on hybrid feature selection method that combines two common feature selection methods, Information Gain and Genetic Algorithm that keep only significant and high-quality features in the final classifier. The Proposed hybrid approach achieved 98.9% accuracy rate against phishing emails dataset comprising 8266 instances and results depict enhancement by almost 4%. Furthermore, the presented technique has contributed to reducing the search space by reducing the number of selected features.
DDOS Botnets Attacks Detection in Anomaly Traffic: A Comparative Study.
Authors: Elsherif Ahmed A. , Aldaej Arwa A.
Published: January 2021

One of the major challenges that faces the acceptance and growth rate of business and governmental sites is a Botnet-based DDoS attack. A flooding DDoS strikes a victim machine by means of sending a vast amount of malicious traffic, causing a significant drop in the service quality (QoS) in IoT devices. Nonetheless, it is not that easy to detect and tackle flooding DDoS attacks, owing to the significant number of attacking machines, the usage of source-address spoofing, and the common areas shared between legitimate and malicious traffic. New kinds of attacks are identified daily, and some remain undiscovered, accordingly, this paper aims to improve the traffic classification algorithm of network traffic, that hackers use to try to be ambiguous or misleading. A recorded simulated traffic was used for both samples; normal and DDoS attack traffic, approximately 104.000 cases of each, where both datasets -which were created for this study- represent the input data in order to create a classification model, to be used as a tool to mitigate the risk of being attacked.
The next step is putting datasets in a format suitable for classification. This process is done through preprocessing techniques, to convert categorical data into numerical data. A classification process is applied to capture datasets, to create a classification model, by using five classification algorithms which are; Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, Naive Bayes, K-Neighbours and Random Forest. The core code used for classification is the python code, which is controlled by a user interface. The highest prediction, precision and accuracy are obtained using the Decision Tree and Random Forest classification algorithms, which also have the lowest processing time.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) should be tackled through a One Health approach, as stated in the World Health Organization Global Action Plan on AMR. We describe the landscape of AMR surveillance in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) and underline a gap regarding veterinary medicine. Current AMR surveillance efforts are of limited help to veterinary practitioners and policymakers seeking to improve antimicrobial stewardship in animal health. We propose to establish the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance network in Veterinary medicine (EARS-Vet) to report on the AMR situation, follow AMR trends and detect emerging AMR in selected bacterial pathogens of animals. This information could be useful to advise policymakers, explore efficacy of interventions, support antimicrobial stewardship initiatives, (re-)evaluate marketing authorisations of antimicrobials, generate epidemiological cut-off values, assess risk of zoonotic AMR transmission and evaluate the burden of AMR in animal health. EARS-Vet could be integrated with other AMR monitoring systems in the animal and medical sectors to ensure a One Health approach. Herein, we present a strategy to establish EARS-Vet as a network of national surveillance systems and highlight challenges of data harmonisation and bias. Strong political commitment at national and EU/EEA levels is required for the success of EARS-Vet.
Supervisory Support for Ethiopian Doctoral Students Enrolled in an Open and Distance Learning Institution
Authors: Gasa Velisiwe , Gumbo Mishack
Published: January 2021

Aim/Purpose: This article reports on quantitative analysis of students’ perceptions on dimensions of augmented face-to-face support. It is built upon the findings from a larger research project that was undertaken to evaluate postgraduate support offered to Ethiopian doctoral students.

Background: Student support is critical for the delivery of any quality Open and Distance Learning (ODL) system. This is because there are numerous challenges that students enrolled especially in global South ODL institutions are faced with, which can impact negatively on their progress and throughput.

Methodology: In this article, the data from a quantitative questionnaire that was collected from a larger research project was used. The questionnaire asked students to respond to questions about their perceptions of the inclusion of face-to-face workshops. The responses were analyzed using the Statistical Analysis System (SAS), version 8.4 statistical package.

Contribution: This research exposes the benefits of supplementing distance postgraduate supervision with face-to-face tutorials.

Findings: The results show that the student-respondents, in general, experienced all five dimensions (‘supervision’, ‘student needs’, ‘facilitators’, ‘environment’, and ‘institutional support/access’) of face-to-face student support very positive.

Recommendations for Practitioners: As this inclusion of face-to-face workshops was found beneficial to the students who are geographically distant and at risk of digitally exclusion, the paper concludes by recommending that such approach should not be discarded but strengthened to supplement distance postgraduate supervision.

Recommendation for Researchers: Replication of this study but focusing on the qualitative aspects of the five dimensions identified.

Impact on Society: Although this study is limited in scope to the Ethiopia project, implications for geographically distant education and support are relevant to Unisa and other ODL institutions in the global South. This may ultimately help inform distance learning efforts globally through augmented face-to-face supports.

Future Research: The study results revealed potential concerns regarding student age and registration timelines. Therefore, more specific research that explores age and registration is required.

In such applications, the ring swaging method is used to connect the fittings to the pipes by means of a hydraulic hand tool. The basis to develop a swaging tool relies on the knowledge of the design parameter that influence plastic deformation of the swaging ring. In addition to build control over the design parameters, it is necessary to join pipes under severe conditions such as cryogenic vacuum and constrained space which require an intact sealing. In this study, the effect of swaging ring designs on sealing and strength has been examined and different swaging methods have been investigated by finite element modeling methods. Based on the obtained results, the analysis methodology of ring swaging and the characteristic impact of swaging ring design on the sealing of pipe connection are shown. The prime novelty of the study is to report the impact of swaging ring design and geometry on sealing efficiency of the pipe connection. The results of the study open new avenues for the development of efficient tools for designing swaging rings. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091641 Full Text: PDF

URBANIZAÇÃO DO CAMPO: ESTUDO DE CASO DA COMUNIDADE RURAL DE TRAÍRAS MUNICÍPIO DE MACAÍBA - RN
Authors: Ferreira da Silva Neto Damião , De Moura Costa Adailton , Teixeira Viana João Paulo
Published: January 2021

O espaço rural vem passando por modificações estruturais na medida em que este começa a passar por um processo de revalorização, a partir da década de 1980, após ter passado longo período de desvalorização, momento em que o Brasil iniciou seu processo de industrialização. Tais transformações têm trazido ao campo nova funcionalidade e ocupado a população rural em atividades não-agrícolas, e emergência de famílias pluriativas. As transformações do espaço rural não implicam somente na funcionalidade, mas têm ocorrido mudanças no espaço físico, com a melhoria da infraestrutura e dos serviços básicos, como também mudanças nos hábitos e na cultura da população rural, a descrição da comunidade e o levantamento das condições socioeconômicas locais. Como resultado, conseguimos identificar que vem ocorrendo melhorias na infraestrutura da comunidade em estudo, mas que ainda necessita de benfeitorias no setor social e econômico.

EFEITO DE EXTRATOS AQUOSOS DE PLANTAS ESPONTÂNEAS DO CERRADO SOBRE A GERMINAÇÃO DE TRÊS GRAMÍNEAS
Authors: Frazão Vlademir Natanael , Silva Larissa da Luz
Published: January 2021

Estudos demonstram que plantas do Cerrado apresentam efeito alelopático em espécies forrageiras. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito dos extratos de Vernonanthura ferruginea (Less.) H. Rob. e Cenostigma macrophyllum Tul. sobre a germinação de Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu, Panicum maximum cv. Tanzânia e Panicum maximum cv. Mombaça. Os ensaios foram conduzidos em esquema fatorial com delineamento inteiramente casualizados totalizando nove tratamentos e quatro repetições. Foram distribuídas 25 sementes, de cada forrageira, em caixas GerBox forradas com folhas de papel filtro e adicionado 10 ml do extrato em seguida levadas à estufa. B. brizantha cv. Marandu apresentou os menores percentuais de germinação em relação aos outros tratamentos por sua vez P. maximum cv. Mombaça teve a germinação estimulada na presença do extrato de V. ferruginea. O extrato aquoso de C. macrophyllum não apresentou alelopatia em nenhuma das gramíneas. Denota-se que a ocorrência desta planta esteja relacionada com outras características. Estudos em condições similares às do Cerrado devem ser realizados para avaliar se as espécies apresentam comportamento semelhante ao que ocorreu no presente trabalho.

Published: January 2021

Now in these days due to rapidly increasing network applications the data and privacy security in network is a key challenge. In order to provide effective and trustable security for network, intrusion detection systems are helpful. The presented study is based on the IDS system design for network based anomaly detection. Thus this system requires an efficient and appropriate classifier by which the detection rate of intrusions using KDD CPU dataset can be improved. Due to study there is various kind of data mining based, classification and pattern detection techniques are available. These techniques are promising for detecting network traffic pattern more accurately. On the other hand recently developed the hybrid models are providing more accurate classification. Thus a hybrid intrusion system is presented in this proposed work. That provides a significant solution even when the overall learning patterns are not available in database. Therefore, three different data mining algorithm is employed with system. Proposed system consists of K-mean clustering algorithm for finding the relationship among data in order to filter data instances. The implementation of the proposed classification system is performed using MATLAB environment and performance of designed classifier is evaluated. The obtained results from the simulation demonstrate after filtering steps. On the other hand the classification accuracy is adoptable with low number of training cycles with less time and space complexity.
COLOUR: REVEALS YOUR PERSONALITY
Authors: Singh Chauhan Bijender
Published: January 2021

Colours are forces radiant energies that affect us positively or negatively, whether we are aware of it or not in our daily life. The effects of colours should be experienced and understood not only but also psychologically and symbolically. This paper investigates the various effects of light and colours on our visual apparatus –eye and brain and their anatomical relationships and functions. This paper describes the influence of colour radiation on our mind and spirit. Discovery of relationships, mediated by the eye and brain is major concern of my studies. Paper describes colour perception and colour aesthetic in three directions: 1) Impression (visually) 2) Expression (emotionally) 3) Construction (symbolically).
RIGHT NUCLEUS IN GENERALIZED RIGHT ALTERNATIVE RINGS
Authors: Jayalakshmi  , Latha S. Madhavi
Published: January 2021

Some properties of the right nucleus in generalized right alternative rings have been presented in this paper. In a generalized right alternative ring R which is finitely generated or free of locally nilpotent ideals, the right nucleus Nr equals the center C. Also, if R is prime and Nr ¹ C, then the associator ideal of R is locally nilpotent. Seong Nam [5] studied the properties of the right nucleus in right alternative algebra. He showed that if R is a prime right alternative algebra of char. ≠ 2 and Right nucleus Nr is not equal to the center C, then the associator ideal of R is locally nilpotent. But the problem arises when it come with the study of generalized right alternative ring as the ring dose not absorb the right alternative identity. In this paper we consider our ring to be generalized right alternative ring and try to prove the results of Seong Nam [5]. At the end of this paper we give an example to show that the generalized right alternative ring is not right alternative.

Income defines as the money that an individual or business receives in exchange for providing a good or service or through investing capital and it is consume to fuel day to day expenditure. This study has been conducted in 2014. The objective of this study is to assess income generation activities in Darfur, particularly in Geneina and Zalingei localities of West and Central Darfur (WCD) by using questionnaire its size 80 individuals, we obtained the following results a. Agriculture is the main and alternative source of income in WCD b. Financing is the main problem in WCD c. The role of National and local government and united nations (UN) agencies in generating income is less than that played by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international non-governmental organizations (INGOs).
