CAPTO - A method for understanding problem domains for data science projects
Authors: Zarate Luis , Petrocchi Bruno , Dias Maia Carlos , Felix Caio , Gomes Marco Paulo
Published: August 2023

Data Science aims to infer knowledge from facts and evidence expressed from data. This occurs through a knowledge discovery process (KDD), which requires an understanding of the application domain. However, in practice, not enough time is spent on understanding this domain, and consequently, the extracted knowledge may not be correct or not relevant. Considering that understanding the problem is an essential step in the KDD process, this work proposes the CAPTO method for understanding domains, based on knowledge management models, and together with the available/acquired tacit and explicit knowledge, proposes a strategy for construction of conceptual models to represent the problem domain. This model will contain the main dimensions (perspectives), aspects and attributes that may be relevant to start a data science project. As a case study, it will be applied in the Type 2 Diabetes domain. Results show the effectiveness of the method. The conceptual model, obtained through the CAPTO method, can be used as an initial step for the conceptual selection of attributes.

Published: August 2023

Objective: The aim of the study is to use two different plant extracts such as St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) and Centella asiatica (L.) in the cream formulation and to determine the anti-aging effect of the new formulation. Material-Method: The plants used in the study were obtained commercially and plant extracts were obtained using the classical extraction techniques in the literature. The active ingredients in the obtained extracts were determined by HPLC method. Physical, protective efficacy, microbial analysis and anti-aging tests were carried out for cream formulations obtained with extracts. Results: Plant extraction studies were carried out in the study. Centella asiatica (L.) was extracted with 20.8% yield at 20 mL of methanol and 60 ℃. As a result of HPLC analysis, it was determined that there were 1740 mg/kg asiatic acid and 4380 mg/kg madecasic acid in the extract. In the extraction studies performed on Hypericum perforatum, the expected active ingredient, hypericin, was not found. For this reason, commercial extract containing 2.5% hyperforin was obtained and the studies were continued on these extracts and final cream formulations were obtained. Conclusion: pH, viscosity, density, protective effectiveness tests and microbial analysis tests of the final formulations were performed. In addition, in vitro anti-aging studies have been carried out in accredited laboratories. With in-vitro anti-aging tests, it was determined that the level of collagen 1A increased more in the formulation where both extracts were used together.

Published: August 2023

Objective: Candida strains have been frequently associated with nosocomial infections in recent years. On the other hand, public prefer natural resources rather than synthetic materials. Therefore, it is important to research combine effects of natural products. This study aimed to investigate the antifungal and antibiofilm effectiveness of essential oils and propolis containing samples on Candida species and the toxicity of samples.

Material-Method: Three different samples were prepared with propolis, lavender oil and thyme oil. Gas Chromatography-mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) GC/MS was used for the determination of organic compounds in samples. The antifungal effects of a natural product mix were tested against C. albicans, C. krusei and C. parapsilosis by disk diffusion method. MIC and MFC tests of the mixture were performed against a standard such as Nystatin. Antibiofilm tests were performed with the microplate system, taking into account the detected concentrations. Finally, in the cytotoxicity test investigated in the L929 cell line with the WST-1 kit.

Results: C. albicans was determined as the most sensitive species (MIC50: 90 ppm, MIC90: 750 ppm MFC: 3120 ppm). In the antibiofilm tests, it was determined that the sample was more effective on C. albicans and it inhibited biofilm formation. Also it was determined the IC50 value was 5052 ppm.

Conclusion: The natural product mixture, which has scientifically proven antifungal effect, has a feature that has high added value and contributes to the economy. But of course, it has to investigate by further studies. The findings of this study may lead to new therapeutic approaches with standardized natural products in the future.

Phylogeny and morphology of the Australian snake genus Neelaps Günther, 1863 (Squamata: Elapidae), with resurrection of Narophis Worrell, 1961
Authors: Maryan Brad , Keogh J. Scott , Bolton Peri
Published: August 2023

Recent phylogenetic studies have shown that the affinities of the two currently recognised species of Neelaps Günther, 1863, Neelaps bimaculatus (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854) and Neelaps calonotos (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854), are unresolved. Here we provide an expanded molecular phylogeny and new morphology data to clarify generic boundaries. We did not find support for monophyly of Neelaps, confirming previous evidence. As a consequence, we allocate bimaculatus to the available synonym Narophis Worrell, 1961 and restrict calonotos to Neelaps, forming two monotypic genera. We redescribe both species under this revised classification. Neelaps calonotos adds to the list of endemic monotypic vertebrates in southwestern Western Australia, recognised globally as a biodiversity hotspot, and we comment on the name spelling, type specimens and conservation status of this distinctive species.

School-based management is a way of managing educational institutions in terms of planning, implementing and evaluating education. MBS stands for , a policy approach that aims to shape school leadership by empowering school leaders and increasing community participation in efforts to improve school performance, including teachers, students, parents and the community. In this case, education management according to MBS is different from previous education management which is centralized in nature, while MBS provides broad autonomy to the school unit itself and involves the community to participate in advancing education in schools. In other words, all school policies and programs are determined by the school committee based on deliberations from members consisting of regional education officials, school principals, teachers, parents' representatives, community leaders, and regional officials where the school is located. The democratization of education is carried out by involving elements of the local government, community and parents in a partnership relationship and fostering positive support for madrasah education. At this level, the decentralization of education as a result of autode includes three important points, namely school-based management, delegation of authority, and educational innovation. The new paradigm in the field of education has pushed towards more humane educational goals. Educational autonomy has provided an opportunity for regions to be able to spur education in their respective regions. While in decentralized management, a lot of central, regional, and regional offices authority is handed over to schools. With this approach, schools will be more empowered and the decisions they make will be more effective and efficient. In the context of implementing SBM, school functions that were originally carried out by the government were partially decentralized to schools to run professionally. For this reason, schools need to build good relations with the community. Schools have programs that need to be introduced to the community, schools also accept criticism and suggestions from the community.

Published: August 2023

A massive survey of demand and supply of fuelwood in the Jorhat district of Assam was conducted in 1999 and 2000. Stratified sampling technique was used in the study. Total supply and consumption of the fuelwood in the district is 470084 and 494103 tonnes per year respectively. About 24019 tonnes of fuelwood, which accounts for 5 per cent of total consumption, is found to be deficit. Per capita fuelwood consumption in the district is 466 kg. Out of the total supply, homestead contributes 79% while forest and bamboo stead contribute 8 and 13% respectively. A total of 35 different fuelwood species are being exploited for energy. It seems that there is acute scarcity of suitable species for firewood in the region. As the population of the region increases there will be huge demand for fuelwood in the coming years. Therefore, more emphasis should be given for scientific selection of suitable firewood species and people should be mobilized to take up large-scale energy plantation for fulfilling their demand.

Introduction:

Spinal anesthesia (SA) allows total joint arthroplasty to be done while minimizing opioids and systemic anesthetic agents compared with general anesthesia (GA). SA has been associated with shortened postoperative recovery; however, the relationship between SA, major postoperative complications, and pneumonia (PNA) remains unclear.

Methods:

Patients in a large, national database who underwent total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty from 2010 to 2020 were identified. 1:1 propensity score matching was used to create matched groups of patients who underwent SA and GA. The groups were matched by age, sex, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, smoking status, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) classification. 1:1 matching was also done among the ASA classifications as a subanalysis.

Results:

Overall, equally matched groups of 217,267 patients who underwent SA versus GA were identified. 850 patients (0.39%) developed postoperative PNA after GA versus 544 patients (0.25%) after SA (P < 0.001). The risk of major complications was 6,922 (3.2%) in the GA group and 5,401 (2.5%) in the SA group (P < 0.001). Similarly, the risk of unplanned postoperative reintubation was higher (0.18% versus 0.10%, P < 0.001) and mortality was higher (0.14% versus 0.09%, P < 0.001) in the GA group than in the SA group. In ASA 1 to 3 patients, the risk of PNA was 0.08% to 0.21% higher with GA than with SA. In ASA 4 patients, the risk of PNA was 0.42% higher in SA than in GA (1.92% versus 1.5%, P < 0.001) and the mortality rate was nearly doubled in GA than in SA (1.46% versus 0.77%, P = 0.017).

Discussion:

Overall, GA was associated with a small but markedly higher rate of major complications, mortality, and PNA than SA in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty when matching for differences in comorbidities. ASA 4 patients experienced the greatest increase in absolute risk of mortality with GA versus SA.

One of the techniques used most frequently to treat urolithiasis is shockwave lithotripsy (SWL). Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and retrograde intra-renal surgery (RIRS) are recommended treatments for inferior calyceal (IC) calculi measuring 1-2cm. Objective: To compare the rate of stone clearance between extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) in patients with lower calycx calculi. Methods: The randomized control trial of six months was conducted at LUH Jamshoro. Informed consent was gained when the procedure, risks, and advantages of the study were explained. The patients were divided into one of two groups at random: group A (ESWL) or group two (RIRS). A week later, the patient underwent a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, and the kidney stone was noted as having been removed. Results: The group A's mean age (SD) was 46.50 ± 14.73 whereas group B's mean age (SD) was 42.37 ± 16.07. The stone clearance was observed in 13 (43.3%) of group A's cases compared to 1 (3.3%) of group B's, with a highly significant p-value of (p=0.0001). Conclusions: In terms of stone removal among patients with lower calycx, a significantly significant difference among the use of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and retrograde intrarenal lithotripsy was seen.

Published: August 2023

The government of Indonesia has issued a self-study curriculum for colleges based on the principles of the Fourth Industrial Revolution in the digital age. The new rule recommends an online portfolio as a tool for measuring the success of educational programs. Students at Syiah Kuala University (USK) utilized Story Map electronic portfolios to hone their spatial skills in the General Compulsory Course on Disaster and Environmental Knowledge. This study aims to improve upon the concept of the Story Map and use it as a component of students' electronic portfolios in order to evaluate their capacity to plan for and respond to hydrometeorological disasters. The concept of the Story Map is created as a digital portfolio project, beginning with secondary materials including literature studies, raster and vector data from ESRI and Mapbox. The ability to perceive spatial relationships is measured by collecting primary data in the form of a questionnaire. The findings of a F (Simultaneous) statistical test for testing hypotheses are as follows: With Fcount > Ftable = 228.338 > 3.34, we get a value of F = 0.000<0.05. Both e-portfolios and narrative maps impact students' spatial abilities in relation to hydrometeorological disasters, as shown by the F test scores. T-tests for multiple variables Students' spatial intelligence is affected by the narrative map (X1) in the proportion of 4.746 > Tcount > Ttable. 2.048. The e-portfolio variable (X2) has a positive effect on students' spatial abilities (Y), with a value of Tcount > Ttable, or 14.063 > 2.048..
