Authors: Direja Sukma , Paramitasari Nurina
Published: April 2022

Ketidaksetaraan gender membatasi peran perempuan dalam mengakses berbagai sumber daya. Pendidikan merupakan hak asasi manusia yang universal dan merupakan komponen penting dari pemberdayaan perempuan. Perempuan terdidik, dengan tingkat produktivitas yang tinggi, mempunyai peluang lebih besar untuk dapat berpartisipasi di pasar tenaga kerja. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh ketidaksetaraan gender dalam pendidikan terhadap kemiskinan di Provinsi Banten. Untuk menjawab tujuan, penelitian ini menggunakan data Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional (SUSENAS) Maret tahun 2020 dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) dengan metode regresi logistik biner. Temuan empiris menunjukkan bahwa rasio rata-rata lama sekolah perempuan terhadap laki-laki dalam rumah tangga memiliki dampak negatif yang signifikan terhadap kemiskinan. Ini berarti semakin tinggi rata-rata lama sekolah perempuan akan berdampak pada menurunnya tingkat kemiskinan. Hubungan terbalik antara variabel ketidaksetaraan gender dalam pendidikan dan kemiskinan menunjukkan pentingnya kebijakan-kebijakan pengarusutamaan gender terutama dibidang pendidikan sebagai salah satu solusi mengentaskan kemiskinan.

Published: April 2022

In this research, the effects of sputtering power on the ferroelectric property of 5 nm thick ferroelectric nondoped HfO2 were investigated for metal–ferroelectric–semiconductor field-effect-transistor application. The remnant polarization (2P
r) was increased to 5.9 μC cm−2, and the density of interface states (D
it) at silicon interface was effectively reduced to 1.8 × 1011 cm−2 eV−1 when the sputtering power was 50 W for 5 nm thick nondoped HfO2 formation. The largest Weibull slope (β) of 1.76 was extracted in Weibull distribution plot of the time-dependent dielectric breakdown measurements, and excellent fatigue properties until 1010 cycles were realized. The memory window of 0.56 V was realized by the pulse amplitude and width of −1/6 V and 100 ms, respectively. Furthermore, the memory characteristic was expected to be maintained ever after 10 years of retention time.

Authors: Kamiura Yoshiki , Kurisawa Taiga , Fujikawa Chiemi , Mikami Osamu
Published: April 2022

Silicon photonics technology has attracted considerable attention these days. However, the low coupling efficiency due to the difference in spot size between silicon photonic (SiPh) chips and single-mode fibers (SMFs) remains a challenging issue. We have already proposed a unique combination of a microlens and a pillar on the facet of SMF. However, the pillar may have difficulty in keeping a single mode for a signal beam of 1. 55 μm wavelength due to air cladding. In this study, we clarified the length of the pillar that can support the single mode through simulations and experiments. By the optimum designing, the spot size as the same level as the SiPh chip was obtained. We could show that our coupling device provides high coupling efficiency with a test sample of SiPh chip, and this device also can be applied to multi-core fibers.

Mucormycosis, which is also commonly known as "Black Fungus", is a deadly fungal infection that is caused by a group of molds called "mucormycetes". Black Fungus attacks when one gets in contact with fungus spores in the environment, especially when a person is having any kind of skin trauma like a cut, scrape, burn, etc. They noted that this infection affects a person who is having other health issues like diabetes, cancer, organ transplants, or who is using other drugs which compromise the immune system. The spread of coronavirus has hiked the cases of Black Fungus as coronavirus leaves its patient’s immune systems in a weakened state, making them more susceptible to Mucormycosis. The symptoms of black fungus when the body gets attacked vary depending on where it is growing in your body, some of the recognized symptoms include fever, cough, chest pain, headache, swelling and redness of eyes, discoloration over the eyes, nose, and sides of one's face, blurred vision and in severe cases loss of vision, blood vomits, shortness of breath. It enters the body via the nose, mouth, or eyes and can affect the brain and other organs if not treated on time. The primary aim of this project is to detect black fungus using Deep Neural Networks based on the iris dataset. We have experimented with various deep learning techniques for detecting black fungus from eye image datasets, such as VGG16, ResNet-50, InceptionV3, and AlexNet.

Signature verification plays a significant role in many biometric authentication places. Many financial institutes require a robust signature verification process for check clearance, loan sanction, processing, pension relation documents, etc. Expert forgeries make it hard to authenticate an individual's identification based on signatures. Typically, this occurs when the forger understands the user's intricate features of the signature and strives to mimic it. Online signature verification approaches can extract various features such as keystrokes, pressure of the pointer, duration between the strokes and the lettering styles, so that verification becomes effective. However, the lack of these intricate details in offline signature, the authentication process becomes much more difficult. To address these issues, in this paper we propose deep learning-based approaches for offline signature verification. In this regard, we have used ZFNet, LeNet and AlexNet architectures with CEDAR, BHSig20 and UTsig datasets for our extensive. experimentation. We propose a learning model in which the dataset consists of multiple genuine and forged signatures. Further, performance analysis of these techniques has been carried out. It was found that LeNet has provided better training and testing accuracy with above 82% performance.

The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) is growing rapidly, as is the number of companies investing in this technology. NLP is changing the way we learn and teach languages. However, it has not been used in ways that benefit ESL (English as a Second Language) educators. It is implied that there is a gap in the application and the use of an NLP tool that focuses on English Part of Speech (POS) analysis to aid the English teaching and learning process. Herein, in this paper, we discuss the prospect of utilising POS analyser to accommodate ESL educators in teaching English POS. The tool development is divided into two sections: 1) the development of a POS analyser; and 2) the implementation of an interface to make the tool become a user-friendly application. We use SpaCy, an NLP opensource library, for the English POS analysis. It offers both statistical and neural network models. It also comes with pre-trained models that can predict the POS. This paper also provides Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool that can be used to create effective and engaging English language teaching materials for learners. GUI tool is created using python programming language. Thus, we first review the NLP-based applications for ESL education, followed by an introduction and overview of our simple POS analysis tool, which is customizable. In the future, we intend to evaluate our tool with the help of ESL educators who are not computer scientists or linguists. The python script used to develop tool is provided at Github: https://github.com/yashmgupta/literate-robot

Even the newly invented devices, cars, TV, refrigerator, washing machine all the advanced things uses wireless technology. Because of the reason, there are more fields to do research in this area. WiFi is one of the important technology in wireless communications. In this work, we have developed a device which will useful to build an wireless network. The device used to monitor and to control supply-chain management of any organization. We have used WiFi which works as two different modes; one is AP (Access Point) and another is STA (STAtion). In this paper, AP acts as a Server where STA act as a Client. We have developed a wireless network system using self organized sensor nodes (each node has one AP, one STA and one Controller) to communicated each other serially to exchange data and request task accordingly. Because of its serial distributed formation the WiFi range is also be increased with different topology. All the command and request can be done using computer or smartphone. This system (we named it WARKS) can be implemented in home, industrial, hospital, farms, forest, agriculture and many more. To verify the system capabilities and work performance, we do the experiment in indoor and outdoor using required hardware and software.

Ingrown toenail (also onychocryptosis) is one of the most frequent nail pathologies in diabetic population. Neurological and vascular complications can increase painful symptoms and suffering of tissue which can lead to ulceration, therefore surgical matricectomy is not recommended. In this research we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a 40% urea cream treatment associated whit nail acrylic resin brace (ortonixia) versus traditional cut and resin nail’s recostruction. Diameter of nail and NRS scale were used to evaluate change of nail plate and pain before and after treatment. 32 subjects with 52 treated nails were included. About 20 nails of 13 subject were recruited in experimental group.
Differential final and initial diameter was 4.67±1,55 mm in experimental group and 3.01±1.26 mm in control group ( p<0.0001) and recurrence rate was 15% and 75% respectively ( p<0.0001). Also days of absence of pain, in experimental group there was a mean of 319.05±113.18 days, instead in control group there was a mean of 208.31±119.84 days (p<0.0002). This statistical analysis shows that effectiveness of new conservative approach is greater than in nail reconstruction method and a valid alternative to surgical treatment in diabetic patients.

Identification of Plant Health Using Machine Learning and Image Techniques
Authors: Yenugudhati Revanth
Published: April 2022

Farming has become increasingly risky with uncertain natural growth processes of crops, weather, disease, pests, other site-specific factors, and lack of support services. The production risk is apparent. Currently, farmers are using manual, labor intensive methods to assess in-situ variations based on their experience and knowledge. There are numerous precision agronomy tools available in the market for balancing field variations and healthy growth. Mostly they are electronic sensors that attach to machinery to take remotely sensed measurements. This research is to develop an application to measure crop health using low-cost remotely sensed images. The project used a camera that is sensitive to visible and near-infrared regions of the electromagnetic. The camera provided three-band images (green, red and near-infrared). The images collected from the field were pre-processed and separated the plants and the background. The images were fed into the model for training for identifying the health of the plant.The results were based on the training data included in the model earlier. Later, the model was developed as a mobile application that can be used by farmers

Published: April 2022

Recent researches have suggested that atmospheric depositions are a major source of nutrients to aquatic ecosystems. It is important to identify and quantify nutrients deposited into surface water and the relationship with wind direction and wind speed to understand the contributing sources of nutrient deposition to Lake Kivu. This study analyzed the relationship of the contribution of TP and TN from the atmospheric deposition with wind direction and wind speed during the period 2017-2019 using regression analysis. Atmospheric deposition of nutrients (TP and TN) and lake water were analyzed in the laboratory for TP and TN using standard analytical methods. Wind speed (m/s) and wind direction (o) were collected at Lwiro station using automatic sensor and gaps were filled by data downloaded from NASA/POWER SRB/FLASHFlux/MERRA2/GEOS website. Temporal variation of TN and TP atmospheric deposition rates is significantly different over time (p<0.000) at Lwiro station. Natural and anthropogenic activities in the watershed such as volcanic activities, biomass burning, and soil erosion introduce particles in the atmosphere following meteorological conditions and surface lake water becomes nutrients rich due to increasing nutrients input. It was observed that the average high rates of nutrients were coming more from the north part of the Lake (Goma) than other points. Volcanic and traffic activities were identified as being the main sources of nutrients in the north part of the watershed and appear to play an important role in the Lake eutrophication. The results can serve as a baseline as far as atmospheric nutrient loading sources in Lake Kivu watershed are concerned and suggest strategies for future assessment.

Published: April 2022

Background: Several people are resistant or hesitant to take a Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. Negative attitudes towards vaccines and the spread of misinformation about the ongoing pandemic can lead to vaccine take hesitancy and that could be a serious problem for managing the COVID-19. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the knowledge, acceptance, perception, and to evaluate the attitudes towards the prospective COVID-19 vaccines. Methods: The research study was carried out using a questionnaire that consisted of questions about the disease and on knowledge, acceptance, and perception of the COVID-19 vaccine. The data collected was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26. Results: The overall acceptance rate of the participants to take the COVID-19 vaccine was 23% (n= 250 of 1085 who completed the questionnaire). Acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines in the study sample was affected by several factors such as age, gender, education level, income, health status, smoking, and the history of coronavirus infection. About 39.3% (n= 335) of the participants in the study think that COVID-19 was a man-made virus to achieve political goals or economic goals, while approximately half of them (n= 580, 53.4%) think that the COVID-19 vaccine is a purpose to inject microchips into people to control and monitor them. The main reasons for the people willing to get vaccinations were to eradicate the pandemic (31%) and fear for the relatives and friends from the disease (26.1%). While the reasons for refusing to take the vaccine were due to the side effects of the vaccine (29.2%), or for getting natural immunity (28.8%), and because they distrust vaccines (18.7%). Conclusions: The knowledge about vaccine COVID-19 was inadequate; the majority of the respondents were not willing to get vaccinated. High rates of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy are due to its side effects.

Published: April 2022

MRI has been increasingly used for detailed visualization of the fetus in utero as well as pregnancy structures. Yet, the familiarity of radiologists and clinicians with fetal MRI is still limited. This article provides a practical approach to fetal MR imaging. Fetal MRI is an interactive scanning of the moving fetus owed to the use of fast sequences. Single-shot fast spin-echo (SSFSE) T2-weighted imaging is a standard sequence. T1-weighted sequences are primarily used to demonstrate fat, calcification and hemorrhage. Balanced steady-state free-precession (SSFP), are beneficial in demonstrating fetal structures as the heart and vessels. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), MR spectroscopy (MRS), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) have potential applications in fetal imaging. Knowing the developing fetal MR anatomy is essential to detect abnormalities. MR evaluation of the developing fetal brain should include recognition of the multilayered-appearance of the cerebral parenchyma, knowledge of the timing of sulci appearance, myelination and changes in ventricular size. With advanced gestation, fetal organs as lungs and kidneys show significant changes in volume and T2-signal. Through a systematic approach, the normal anatomy of the developing fetus is shown to contrast with a wide spectrum of fetal disorders. The abnormalities displayed are graded in severity from simple common lesions to more complex rare cases. Complete fetal MRI is fulfilled by careful evaluation of the placenta, umbilical cord and amniotic cavity. Accurate interpretation of fetal MRI can provide valuable information that helps prenatal counseling, facilitate management decisions, guide therapy, and support research studies.

In Morocco, each year, the emergency services and the University Hospital record more than 20% of the cases of hand injuries and trauma. The Ibn Rochd University Hospital in Casablanca alone records 5,000 cases annually, which represents 25% of all cases. This frequency means that many orthopedic surgery departments are called upon to treat these wounds on an emergency basis. It is usual to focus on a nerve or tendon injury as a priority. However, even partial vascular injuries can be complicated by a false aneurysm. This is a fairly rare condition, almost always unrecognized, with sometimes serious consequences, as it is complicated by thrombosis or embolism distal to the arteries of the palmar arch. The diagnosis is evoked by the existence of a sensitive mass, associated with dysesthesia of the fingers and a unilateral Raynaud's phenomenon. It is confirmed by an echo-Doppler. An arteriography is necessary to properly evaluate the palmar arches. It could be replaced by an angio-MRI. We report a case of a 47-year-old patient who came to us with a progressively evolving swelling following a penetrating hand trauma that occurred 12 months earlier. Doppler ultrasound completed by angioscan confirmed the diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm of the right radial artery. The diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm is easier with the considerable development of cross-sectional imaging and angiography.

Fibrous bone dysplasia (FOD) is a benign, rare, congenital condition, underestimated because it is often asymptomatic, and of unknown cause. It is a disease in which normal bone is replaced by fibro-osseous tissue resulting in deforming bone lesions. The disease is most often monostotic, much more rarely polyostotic. We report an observation of a 10-year-old female patient who presented with a painful periorbital swelling initially labeled as orbital cellulitis. Orbital CT confirmed bilateral orbital cellulitis but also made the diagnosis of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia on the bony windows. The patient was managed by oral antibiotic therapy with incision and drainage of the orbital cellulitis.

Idiopathic epiploic infarction is a rare disorder that manifests with nonspecific clinical symptoms that can mimic a variety of acute abdominal conditions. Imaging, particularly CT, is used to evoke the diagnosis, to search for associated abnormalities and complications. Management is essentially medical but surgical treatment may be considered in complicated cases. We describe the case of a patient with an epiploic infarction complicated by omental necrosis who was managed surgically.

The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection leading to COVID-19 pandemic has affected many countries all over the world including India. Diagnostic laboratories play crucial role in containment of pandemic as they enable the rapid identification for isolation and treatment of COVID-19 positive cases. Gold standard test for COVID 19 detection is the reverse transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)-based assays performed on respiratory specimen. The role of other laboratory parameters in COVID-19 cases has not been definitely established. Clinical laboratory investigations need to be studied in larger populations to understand the pathogenesis and to understand whether these parameters are useful to triage COVID-19 suspect patients before the results of RT PCR are available. This study was aimed to analyze and compare routine clinical laboratory parameters in COVID-19 positive and negative patients at the time of presentation to our tertiary care referral center situated in western region of India from April, 2020 till November, 2020. Patients were divided into two groups based on the results of RT-PCR for COVID-19. The outcome of different laboratory parameters like CBC, CRP, AST, ALT, LDH, ferritin were evaluated in cases with positive RT-PCR and compared with negative RT-PCR group. We found no statistically significant differences between COVID-19 positive and negative group on routine clinical laboratory parameters of 4602 patients.

Cavernous hemangioma is the most frequent primary orbital tumor seen in adults. It is a benign lesion but may compromise optic nerve function. Acute presentation with hemorrhage into the tumor is a rare occurrence with only ten cases reported in literature. We report an unusual case of a sudden painful proptosis with unilateral blindness due to acute bleeding of cavernous hemangioma, MRI revealed an intraconal soft tissue mass of the left orbit. Results: Patient underwent a transcranial approach and tumor was removed. The histopathological examination revealed a cavernous hemangioma. The patient had complete symptomatic recovery following surgery. Conclusion: Orbital hemangiomas presenting with hemorrhage is rare and should be evocated on first.

Emphysematous urinary tract infections (EUI) are rare life-threatening infections that are often found in diabetic patients with a predilection for females. Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is more frequently reported than emphysematous cystitis (EC). However, concurrent occurrence has been reported as well. On the other hand, ureteric involvement in cases of EUI has not been described well in the literature. Treatment should be aggressive as the rate of death can be as high as 15.4%. Early surgical intervention has been described for severe infections. However, conservative approach has also been adopted especially in cases where preserving kidney function is of utmost importance. We present a 22-year-old lady who is known to have chronic kidney disease, bladder dysfunction and multiple reconstructive urological procedures, presented with emphysematous urinary tract infection affecting the whole urinary system (both kidneys, ureters and urinary bladder), which was successfully treated in a nephron sparing approach.

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is a dilation of the coronary artery lumen. The term "ectasia" differs from "coronary aneurysm". The first one refers to diffuse dilation of a coronary artery, while the second designate a focal coronary dilation. In most of cases, it is associated with atherosclerotic disease. CAE predispose to acute coronary events because it disturbs coronary flow and increases blood viscosity. Conventionally, CAE was treated by oral anticoagulants and it has been considered as a valid treatment option. The usual treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) including dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is widely employed in CAE patients presenting with ACS.We report the case of a 71year-old man who suffered from angina chest pain revealing a myocardial infraction with inferior ST-elevation. Coronary angiography demonstrated diffused coronary artery ectasia with thrombotic occlusion in the distal segment of right coronary artery. It was managed with medical treatment including DAPT and oral anticoagulation.
