Authors: Aidi khaoula  , Sanku Dey  , Kumar Devendra , Seddik-Ameur N
Published: August 2021

In this paper, we try to contribute to the distribution theory literature by incorporating a new bounded distribution, called the unit generalized inverse Weibull distribution (UGIWD) in the (0, 1) intervals by transformation method. The proposed distribution exhibits  increasing and bathtub shaped hazard rate function. We derive some basic statistical properties of the new distribution. Based on complete sample, the model parameters are obtained by the methods of maximum likelihood, least square, weighted least square, percentile, maximum product of spacing and Cram`er-von-Mises and compared them using Monte Carlo simulation study. In addition, bootstrap confidence intervals of the parameters of the model based on aforementioned methods of estimation are also obtained. We illustrate the performance of the proposed distribution by means of one real data set and the data set shows that the new distribution is more appropriate as compared to unit Birnbaum-Saunders, unit gamma, unit Weibull, Kumaraswamy and unit Burr III distributions. Further, we construct chi-squared goodness-of-fit tests for the UGIWD using right censored data based on Nikulin-Rao-Robson (NRR) statistic and its modification. The criterion test used is the modified chi-squared statistic Y^2, developedby Bagdonavi?ius and Nikulin, 2011 for some parametric models when data are censored. The performances of the proposed test are shown by an intensive simulation study and an application to real data set

ABSTRAK. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengukur seberapa besar pengaruh minyak ikan yang sudah terenkapsulasi terhadap kolesterol darah dan performa pada Domba. Penelitian telah dilakukan di Sub Unit Pelayanan Pengembangan Pembibitan Ternak Domba dan Kambing (SUPPPTDK) Bunihayu, Subang pada tanggal 20 Januari 2020 sampai 27 Maret 2020. Sebanyak 18 ekor domba Ekor Tipis jantan dengan bobot 15,99±0,98 kg dialokasikan ke dalam 3 perlakuan secara acak. Domba tersebut diberi ransum perlakuan yang disuplementasi dengan mikroenkapsulasi minyak ikan sebanyak 0% (P0), 2,5% (P1), dan 5% (P2). Data yang terkumpul dilakukan analisis ragam dan bila hasil berbeda nyata maka dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa mikroenkapsulasi minyak ikan dapat menurunkan kolesterol darah (P0,05), namun tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap pertambahan bobot badan, konsumsi dan konversi ransum (P0,05). Penurunan kadar kolesterol terjadi pada kelompok domba dengan perlakuan mikroenkapsulasi sebanyak 2,5% (P1) dan mikroenkapsulasi 5% (P2). Kadar kolesterol darah masing-masing perlakuan berturut-turut adalah 100,70 mg/dl (P0); 96,20 mg/dl (P1); dan 78,76 mg/dl (P2). Rataan yang terbaik pada pertambahan bobot badan, konsumsi bahan kering harian, dan konversi ransum terdapat pada P2 yaitu 63,96 g/hari, 574,13 g/hari, dan 9,08. Hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa mikroenkapsulasi minyak ikan dapat menurunkan kolesterol darah, dengan penurunan tertinggi pada pemberian 5%.  (The impact of microencapsulation fish oil in feed on blood cholesterols and performance on sheep) ABSTRAK. This study measured the effect of encapsulated fish oil on blood cholesterol and sheep performance. The study was conducted at the Bunihayu Sheep and Goat Breeding Services Bunihayu, Subang on January 20, 2020 to March 27, 2020. A total of 18 male thin-tailed sheep 15.99±0.98 kg were allocated randomly into 3 treatments. The sheep were given feed supplemented with fish oil microencapsulation of 0% (P0), 2.5% (P1), and 5% (P2). The data were collected and analyzed by analysis of variance and, if the result is significantly different, continued by Duncan's test. The results showed that fish oil microencapsulation decreased blood cholesterol levels (P0.05). However, it did not affect body weight gain, consumption, and feed conversion (P0.05). Decreased levels of cholesterol occurred in the group of sheep with 2.5% microencapsulation (P1) and 5% microencapsulation (P2). Blood cholesterol levels of each treatment were 100.70 mg/dl (P0); 96.20 mg/dl (P1); and 78.76 mg/dl (P2), respectively. Averagely, the highest body weight gain, dry matter intake and feed conversion were found in P2 as much as 63.96 g/day, 574.13 g/day, and 9.08, respectively. The results can be concluded that microencapsulation of fish oil can reduce blood cholesterol, with the highest decrease at the level of 5%.

Published: August 2021

Introduction Post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is recommended to women at high risk of local recurrence. There is a paucity of published work on the experience of women who undergo deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction in the context of requiring PMRT. The aim of the study was to explore and understand the patient experience of these women. Methods Purposive sampling was used to identify patients who had undergone an immediate reconstruction with PMRT and women who had undergone a delayed reconstruction after PMRT. Purposive sampling was used to identify and invite women to participate in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using a grounded theory approach with a topic guide which was derived from relevant literature. Results Twenty women participated in the study. Ten women had undergone immediate reconstruction followed by PMRT and 10 women had undergone delayed reconstruction after PMRT. The results suggest that, regardless of the surgical pathway or the consequences of treatment, overall women were satisfied with the treatment decision they had made. Patients described the challenges around decision-making and their post-operative experience. However, patients were grateful to have had a breast reconstruction and in the most part happy with the treatment pathway they underwent. Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that women are motivated by a variety of factors when presented with the choice of immediate versus delayed breast reconstruction and can justify the treatment path they have taken. This study highlights the importance of discussing reconstruction options in terms of context of a person’s life and coping strategies. Patients appeared to use self-regulation in their behaviour to cope with their illness threat and decision-making. The women who chose delayed reconstruction were motivated by the delayed gratification of having a reconstruction that had not been subjected to PMRT.

Authors: Swain Santosh Kumar
Published: August 2021

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The clinical presentations of the COVID-9 patients vary from mild respiratory illness to fatal possible outcomes like death. SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause a wide range of extrapulmonary manifestations including sensory and neural complications like olfactory and/or gustatory dysfunction,otologic manifestations and long-term neurological complications. The association between the COVID-19 infection and hearing loss and vertigo make intuitive sense, give neuropathic manifestations of the inner ear resulting in cochleovestibular symptoms. Hearing loss and vertigo are interesting clinical outcomes associated with COVID-19 infections. Hearing loss and vertigo in COVID-19 patients have not received much attention from medical professionals. COVID-19 infection could have deleterious effects on the inner ear despite patients are asymptomatic. Hearing loss and vertigo play an important role for affecting routine activity and result in invisible handicap of the affected person and psychological solitary confinement. In current COVID-19 pandemic, some patients of COVID-19 are presenting with cochleovestibular symptoms such as hearing loss, vertigo and tinnitus. The proper understanding of the pathophysiology behind the hearing loss and vertigo in COVID-19 infections requires further research.This review article discusses the details of this epidemiology, etiopathology, assessment and management of the hearing loss and vertigo among COVID-19 patients.

Authors: Jeyarajan Shivakumar , Loganathan Dinesh
Published: August 2021

Background: In Indian settings, the incidence of distal humeral fractures is associated with motor vehicle accidents and simple accidental falls. The treatment of these fractures continues to remain challenging due to anatomical factors. The present study was carried out to evaluate the functional outcome of distal humerus fractures treated with bicolumn locking compression plates applied orthogonally.

Methods: This prospective study was carried out among 15 patients who were diagnosed with fracture of distal humerus. A detailed clinical examination and radiological assessment were done to evaluate the fracture pattern. In complex articular fractures, Chevron V shaped olecranon osteotomy was done. In other cases, routine approaches like TRAP, paratricipital or Triceps splitting approach were used.

Results: The most common type of fracture observed was C2 (53.4%) and was associated with fracture of distal radius (26.6%) followed by fracture metacarpals (13.2%). Olecranon osteotomy was the most common surgical approach (40%). Majority of the participants in both the age groups equally showed excellent and good outcomes (42.8% and 37.5% respectively) while males showed excellent outcomes (55.6%) compared to females (16.7%).

Conclusions: It is inferred that distal humerus fractures with intraarticular extension can be successfully treated with locking compression plates applied orthogonally. However, a long-term follow-up and a larger sample study is needed to further validate our findings.

Inflammation of the cornea is known as keratitis. Microbial keratitis is a great challenge for the physicians due to its varied presentation, overlapping symptoms and rapid progression. Though bacterial keratitis is the most prevalent in developing countries but recent increasing trend of fungal keratitis carries a significant risk factors and one of the leading causes of vision loss. Early diagnosis and treatment are the cornerstone for its effective control. Purpose: To determine the outcome and efficacy of treatment with topical natamycin and topical voriconazole in different groups.

It was a randomised, prospective, comparative, experimental study. The study populations were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria after proper evaluation. The study populations were divided into Group A (treated with 1% topical natamycin) and group B (treated 5% topical voriconazole. The patients were followed up subsequently. Data were collected, tabulated in Excel sheet and analyzed in percentage, proportion, t-test and chi square (χ2) test. The statistically significant was considered if p value <0.05.

The average age of the study populations was 39.32 ± 14.99 years. Topical voriconazole was found better against primary fungal ulcer than natamycin but not statistically significant (χ2=0.283, p=0.59). The mean healing times of group A and group B were 25.42 ± 4.59 and 24.92 ± 3.99 days respectively.

This study concluded that it had male predominance, commonly involved younger people and poor socioeconomic agricultural workers. Both drugs were found effective against primary ulcer but voriconazole was slightly better.

Published: August 2021

The purpose of this study is to find numerous key performance indicators for measuring real estate project success. A Systematic literature review was adopted to achieve the research objective. The main objective of a systematic literature review is to identify, evaluate, and synthesize existing research. A total number of "82" papers from ABDC journals and other journals and conference papers, including thesis, book chapters, were used to identify all the success factors. The study reveals that most of the previous studies have considered three-factor cost, quality, and time, but a few factors have taken other success factors such as budget, schedule, client satisfaction, project manager competence. So there is a dire need to explore additional determinants as the real estate project success is influenced by several other variables. After the systematic literature review there are many other performance indicators such as customer satisfaction, budget, manager qualification and schedule are becoming important for good performance of construction project. The findings of the study have numerous suggestions and these implications are not only for the educational area but also for the construction sector. The study provides a direction for construction organizations and the researcher's future studies.

Authors: Gromek Katarzyna , Kaczorowski Tadeusz
Published: August 2021

DNA indexing is based on a presynthesized library of oligonucleotide adaptors (256 in total), named indexers, and type-IIS restriction endonucleases. It enables amplification and direct analysis of large DNA fragments with low overall redundancy and without subcloning. Here, we describe a detailed protocol for PCR-based amplification of DNA fragments followed by DNA sequencing by indexer walking and provide helpful hints on its practical use. The proposed protocol can be applied to the sequencing of plasmids, cDNA clones, and longer DNA fragments. It can also be used for gap filling at the final stage of genome sequencing projects.

The paper shows the features of the formation of the structural-phase and textural state of the EP648 alloy obtained by the SLM method in the initial state, after hot isostatic pressing and heat treatment. It was found that in the process of synthesis, a limited crystallographic texture of the γ-phase is formed, which does not undergo significant changes in the process of subsequent treatments. The uniform distribution of fine particles of the hardening phases, apparently, leads to an increase in both the strength and plastic properties of the material obtained by the SLM method in comparison with the material obtained by the traditional technology.

At this intersection there are only cautionary street lights or yellow lights, then the Intersection condition which is the road to residential areas, schools, shops, and traditional markets to support the occurrence of traffic jams and accidents            Primary data or data taken from the field include geometric conditions, environmental conditions, side barriers, traffic volume at the Intersection of Jalan Perjuangan - Jalan Veteran Martapura City. Secondary data includes the number of residents in Martapura City and data on the growth of the number of vehicles. Furthermore, the data samples were analyzed using the Indonesian Road Capacity Manual (MKJI, 1997) to find out whether Intersection performance is still feasible or not. If the results of the analysis show that the Intersection performance is no longer feasible, it is necessary to solve the problem.               At the intersection, Jl. Perjuangan - Jl. Veteran, Martapura City, Banjar Regency, on a unsignal condition, obtained a degree of saturation (DS) of 0.76 and delay (D) of all intersections of 12.7 seconds / smp with the Service Level Index at B, which indicates that at the intersection still has good conditions. After forecasting analysis, it is found that in the 6th year the degree of saturation (DS) is 1.11 and the whole delay is 26.21 seconds / smp with the Service Level Index in class D where the intersection has reached a bad condition or must be done intersection management analysis. By analyzing the form of intersection management when applied with a signalized intersection, the alternative 2 phase proposal is the best which is seen from the degree of saturation and delay with the value of Degree Saturation (DS) 0.74 and Delay (D) 18,33 seconds / smp with the intersection service level becomes C.

Published: August 2021

North Kuin Street, North Kuin, North Banjarmasin Subdistrict, South Kalimantan Sub-district is right on the outskirts of Kuin River. Precisely the road that is in front of the Sultan Suriansyah Mosque, where the road has experienced cracks that can potentially occur landslides. In the event of an avalanche, it will result in obstructed traffic activities on the road which also affect the economy of the surrounding community. So from that the soil retaining wall is needed to maintain the stability of the land on the outskirts of the Kuin River so that landslides do not occur.This design begins with identifying problems that occur.  Next is data collection of investigations in the field and laboratory. Then the data obtained are analyzed and interpreted and then visualized in the form of stratigraphy by plotting the type of soil by the results of sondir and boring that have been interpreted. After that, check the initial condition of the slope so that the shape of the avalanche can be identified. Then proceed with calculating the forces acting on the retaining wall due to traffic loads and other loads above it to obtain carrying capacity from the ground. Then proceed with modeling and analysis using Geo Studio 2012 software to see the value of SF (safety factor).

Background:

Current guidelines recommend shared surgical decision-making, yet it is unclear whether shared decision-making improves health outcomes in patients who are considering knee and hip replacement. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether patients who made high-quality, informed, patient-centered (IPC) decisions had better health outcomes, higher satisfaction, and less decision regret compared with those who made lower-quality decisions.

Methods:

A multisite, randomized study of 2 decision aids for patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis was utilized to collect data on decision-making and health outcomes at 2 time points: shortly after the initial surgical evaluation and about 6 months after treatment. We calculated the percentage of patients who made an IPC decision and examined the a priori hypotheses that IPC decisions would be associated with better health outcomes, satisfaction, and less regret at 6 months. Linear and logistic regression models were utilized to examine the relationships.

Results:

The analytic sample included 854 patients with a mean age of 65 years (standard deviation, 9 years), of whom 58% were female, 93% were White non-Hispanic, 67% had knee (compared with hip) osteoarthritis, and 62% underwent operative treatment within 6 months of the initial evaluation. The majority of patients (68%) made IPC decisions. The IPC group had significantly larger gains in quality of life (mean difference in EuroQol-5 Dimension, 0.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.02 to 0.07; p < 0.001) compared with the non-IPC group. For knee patients, the IPC group also had significantly better Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (mean difference, 4.9; 95% CI, 1.5 to 8.3; p = 0.004), higher satisfaction (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.7; 95% CI, 1.2 to 2.3; p = 0.003), much better pain relief (aOR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.3 to 3.5; p = 0.002), and were more likely to have no decision regret (aOR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.3 to 4.1; p = 0.003). For hip patients, IPC decisions were not associated with better Harris hip scores or satisfaction and were associated with more regret.

Conclusions:

Higher-quality decisions predicted small improvements in health outcomes, as well as greater satisfaction and less regret for patients with knee osteoarthritis, but not for patients with hip osteoarthritis.

Training the New Generations of Orthopaedic Surgery Residents

Published: August 2021

Most of the current orthopaedic residents are considered Millennials (born between 1981 and 1996) and are often trained by attending surgeons who are from Generation X (born between 1965 and 1980) or the Baby Boomer generation (born between 1946 and 1964). The Generation X orthopaedic surgeons were largely trained by Baby Boomers who were very demanding of their trainees and expected excellence. The Baby Boomers had been inspired, mentored, and trained by the Greatest Generation (born between 1901 and 1927). Baby Boomers took nothing for granted and nothing was given to them on a silver platter. Generation X was trained under these premises and was expected to abide by similar values. Regarding the next generation of residents, current faculty hope to instill the same qualities that had been instilled in them during their training. This value transference sometimes presents a challenge because of the differences in attitudes and perspectives that may exist between Millennial residents and their predecessors regarding work-life balance, teaching styles, the regulation of duty hours, and feedback assessments. These differences require an evolution in the methods of surgical education to optimize the educational benefit and ensure good will and rapport between the generations. Trainees and faculty alike have a responsibility to understand each other’s differences and come together to ensure that knowledge, experience, values, and skill sets are effectively passed on to a new generation of orthopaedic surgeons.

Published: August 2021

Many studies show that one of the biggest challenges in Islamic banking is related to lack of proper and effective Shariah governance. By focusing on the role of Shariah Supervisory Board (SSB), this paper attempts to extract some keys on how to achieve better performance and development of Islamic banking industry by reviewing previous studies. This study was done by using literature review approach. This study concludes that increasing the size of SSB, improving higher skills and competences of SSB members, keeping the independency of SSB member as well as the need of Central Shariah Board (CSB) and shariah auditor would affect to better performance of Islamic banking.

The need for Muslim entrepreneurs / prospective entrepreneurs to be involved in solving the problem of poverty. One of them is by building social entrepreneurship that is in line with the principles of sharia economics and in accordance with the conditions of society's problems. In the field, there are various models of social entrepreneurship. With the conditions of dynamic community and organizational problems, it is possible to produce new social entrepreneurship models that can enrich existing social entrepreneurship models, especially those related to the context in Indonesia. However, studies related to social entrepreneurship models in Indonesia are still limited. Meanwhile, the discussion of social entrepreneurship with Islamic economics is only at the conceptual level. So that it does not provide an overview of the application of both. This study focuses on providing an overview of the social entrepreneurship model in the Nira Satria cooperative based on the business model canvas in the Indonesian context and the principles of Islamic economics. The research method is qualitative using literature data sources. The Nira Satria Cooperative Model is a community based social enterprise because 1) the user segment is members of the Nira Satria Cooperative as beneficiaries and consumers who use sugar ants, 2) Social value proposition is group empowerment in the form of individuals 3) managed by volunteers who come from cooperative members (farmers sugar) and NGOs. 4) the revenue comes from social / grants from the government and social institutions, and comes from mandatory membership fees. 5) Ownership and control schemes, namely collective and democratic. 6) has a sustainability goal. The description of the business model is in line with the principles of sharia economics.

Published: August 2021

In this paper, we generalize six kinds of rough set models based on j-neighborhood space (i.e., reflexive 1 j-neighborhood rough set, reflexive 2 j-neighborhood rough set, reflexive 3 j-neighborhood rough set, similarity 4 j-neighborhood rough set, similarity 5 j-neighborhood rough set, and similarity 6 j-neighbor\\hood rough set), and investigate some of their basic properties. Further, we propose a new neighborhood space called j-adhesion neighborhood based on six types of rough set models (i.e., reflexive 7 j-adhesion neighborhood rough set, reflexive 8 j-adhesion neighborhood rough set, reflexive 9 j-adhesion neighborhood rough set, similarity 10 j-adhesion neighborhood rough set, similarity 11 j-adhesion neighborhood rough set, and similarity 12 j-neighbor\\hood rough set) to reduce the boundary region and the accuracy. The fundamental properties of approximation operators based on j-adhesion neighborhood space are investigated. The relationship between the properties of these types is explained. Finally, we give comparisons between the proposed approach with the previous approach (i.e., Abo-Tabl's approach and Dai et al.'s approach) from six types of rough set models. Consequently, the accuracy from the proposed approach is improved.
