Published: June 2023

Nowadays, humans can communicate easily with others by recognizing speech and text characters, particularly facial expressions. In human communication, it is critical to comprehend their emotion or implicit expression. Indeed, facial expression recognition is vital for analyzing the emotions of conversation partners, which can contribute to a series of matters, including mental health consulting. This technique enables psychiatrists to select appropriate questions based on their patients’ current emotional state. The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learningbased model for detecting and recognizing emotions on human faces. We divided the experiment into two parts: Faster R-CNN and mini-Xception architecture. We concentrated on four distinct emotional states: angry, sad, happy, and neutral. Both models implemented using the Faster R-CNN and the mini-Xception architectures were compared during the evaluation process. The findings indicate that the mini-Xception architecture model produced a better result than the Faster R-CNN. This study will be expanded in the future to include the detection of complex emotions such as sadness.

Visually impaired people can use smartphone navigation applications to arrive at their destination. However, those applications do not provide the means to detect moving objects. This paper presents an Android application that uses the smartphone’s camera to provide real-time object detection. Images captured by the camera are to be processed digitally. The model then predicts objects from the processed image using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) stored in mobile devices. The model returns bounding boxes for each of the detected objects. These bounding boxes are used to calculate the distance from the object to the camera. The model used is SSD MobileNet V1, which is pre-trained using the Common Objects in Context (COCO) dataset. System testing is divided into object distance and accuracy testing. Results show that the margin of error for calculating distance is below 5% for distances under 8 meters. The mean average precision is 0.9393, while the mean average recall is 0.4479. It means that the system can recognize moving objects through the embedded model in a smartphone.

Sand is the main ingredient in the construction process, so based on its function, size separation is needed. This size separation is done by sifting sand. Based on the survey, many construction or industrial workers use traditional methods of sifting sand, and the results obtained are less effective in terms of capacity and working time.The rotary system sand sieving machine is planned as a tool to make it easier to sift sand. The sifter tube is designed with 2 sieves. The first filter uses a mesh size 6 and the second filter uses a mesh size 8. This is done to produce 3 grades of sand.This rotary system sand sifter machine aims to sift sand with 3 different sieve results, namely fine sand, medium sand, and gravel. Fine sand is used as a mixture of plaster for concrete walls, medium sand is used as a mixture in bricklaying, and gravel is used as a mixture of foundation casts. In the mechanical movement system using a 1 Hp AC motor as a source of rotation, then the rotation of the motor is transmitted through a reducer with a ratio of 1:40 and then forwarded to the shaft. On the shaft there is a filter for sifting the rotary system sand.This research was conducted with 3 variations of the angle of the sieve which is 10°, 15°, 20°. In testing the maximum capacity in one test is 30 kilograms. The best sieve results were obtained from testing with a 10° sieve angle using dry river sand and dry land sand.

This paper presents a control system design for a magnetic levitation system (Maglev) or MLS using sliding mode control (SMC). The MLS problem of levitating the object in the air will be solved using the controller. Inductors used in MLS make the system have nonlinear characteristics. Thus, a nonlinear controller is the most suitable control design for MLS. SMC is one of the nonlinear controllers with good robustness and can handle any model mismatch. Based on simulation results with a step as input reference, MLS provided good system performances: 0.0991s rise time, 0.1712s settling time, and 0.0159 overshoot. Moreover, a prominent tracking control for sine wave reference was also shown. Although the augmented system had a chattering effect on the control signal, the chattering control signal did not affect MLS performances.

This research introduces a dual design proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller architecture process that aims to improve system performance by reducing overshoot and conserving electrical energy. The dual design PID controller uses real-time error and one-time step delay to adjust the confidence weights of the controller, leading to improved performance in reducing overshoot and saving electrical energy. To evaluate the effectiveness of the dual design PID controller, experiments were conducted to compare it with the PID controller using least overshoot tuning by Chien–Hrones–Reswick (CHR)  technique. The results showed that the dual design PID controller was more effective at reducing overshoot and saving electrical energy. A case study was also conducted as part of this research, and it demonstrated that the system performed better when using the dual design PID controller. Overshoot and electrical energy consumption are common issues in systems that can impact performance, and the dual design PID controller architecture process provides a solution to these issues by reducing overshoot and saving electrical energy. The dual design PID controller offers a new technique for addressing these issues and improving system performance. In summary, this research presents a new technique for addressing overshoot and electrical energy consumption in systems through the use of a dual design PID controller. The dual design PID controller architecture process was found to be an effective solution for reducing overshoot and saving electrical energy in systems, as demonstrated by the experiments and case study conducted as part of this research. The dual design PID controller presents a promising solution for improving system performance by addressing the issues of overshoot and electrical energy consumption.

: Spinal anesthesia is increasingly popular over general anesthesia due to several advantages. Hypotension can complicate spinal anesthesia during a cesarean section, which could have negative repercussions on the mother and fetus. This study is aimed to compare the efficacy of low-dose norepinephrine infusion with low-dose boluses of norepinephrine in managing hypotension among parturients undergoing cesarean section under subarachnoid block.

: Ninety-nine parturients without comorbidities who underwent caesarean section with spinal anesthesia received norepinephrine were considered. They were divided into three groups. Group A- Parturient received a norepinephrine infusion of 1 mcg/min and a rescue bolus of 3 mcg to treat hypotension. Group B- Parturient received a Norepinephrine bolus of 3mcg to treat hypotension. Group C- Parturient received a Norepinephrine bolus of 5 mcg to treat hypotension. All the vitals at different intervals, number of norepinephrine boluses, the total amount of norepinephrine consumed, maximum sensory level achieved, time for baby extraction following subarachnoid block, and any adverse events were documented.

No statistical difference was noted in the study group's demographics. However, there was a significant difference in mean systolic blood pressure between the groups from skin incision to baby extraction at T6 and T8. In addition, the mean arterial blood pressure of the two groups differed significantly throughout the period from baby extraction to skin suturing. Between the groups, there was a substantial difference in the total number of boluses needed. The total number of boluses required was maximum in group B, followed by group C. Group A required the minimum number of total norepinephrine boluses.

A prophylactic norepinephrine infusion is an effective and straightforward method of reducing the incidence and magnitude of hypotension following spinal anesthesia for cesarean section with no adverse effect.

The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) can be used to reduce pain and opioid requirements after abdominal surgery.The study was undertaken to assess post-operative analgesia of ESPB in patients undergoing laparotomy under general anaesthesia.

A total 34 patients of either sex, age between 20-60 years, ASA status 1 and 2 undergoing exploratory laparotomy were included and equally randomised into two study groups of 17 each. Group A received ESPB with 0.25% inj. bupivacaine 20ml on each side (Total 40ml 0.25% inj. Bupivacaine) and group B with no intervention.

The mean VAS Score was <4cm till 1½hr in both the groups. Henceforth, mean VAS sores were observed to be <1cm in all the patients of Group A till 24hr whereas VAS Scores were >4cm all intervals till 24hr in Group B. Thus, quality of analgesia was better in Group A. In Group B, 10 (58.82%) out of 17 patients required first dose of tramadol at 1½ hr as compared to none in Group A. At 24hr, all patients in Group B received tramadol as rescue analgesic compared to only 3 (17.64%) in Group A. The cumulative tramadol consumption was significantly low in Group A (5.88±13.71mg) than Group B (191.76±40.65mg). Complications like nausea, vomiting was more in Group B because of increased tramadol consumption.

ESPB is a simple, easy, convenient option, when utilized as a component of multi-modal analgesia for pain relief in abdominal surgery.

Published: June 2023

Urinary bladder paraganglioma is an extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma. As it lacks specific symptoms and because of its rare occurrence, it presents incidentally while tumour handling. A forty-eight-year-old female who presented with nausea, vomiting, weight loss, pain abdomen and hematuria was diagnosed with a bladder mass. She was scheduled for transurethral resection of the bladder tumour. On tumour manipulation, it showed numerous fluctuations in heart rate and blood pressure, from where a differential diagnosis of urinary bladder paraganglioma was made. Histopathology revealed a zellbellan pattern of paraganglioma. This case was discharged successfully postoperatively. But if undiagnosed preoperatively, it can be a real challenge because of the fatal hypertensive crisis and life-threatening cardiopulmonary complications.

Libraries supervisors have the administrative duty of control and keep safe their inventories, such as books, documents, manuals, and theses, facilitating access to their users to this information and helping them loan and return, internal or external, in case it’s permitted. We wanted to design and build a prototype for a device capable of complementing these tasks in a low cost. We go through the processes in the design of a prototype for a simultaneous Radio Frequency Identification Reader using Ultra High Frequencies with Internet of Things technologies for data storage and communication between multiple stations, to do so we use a decision matrix method to select hardware tools, and software programming languages and libraries, needed to build such device, comparing, and weighting the characteristics that fit our needs. The resulting hardware selection was the Raspberry Pi and the RedBoard with a 59,7% and 12,4% respectively, and NodeJS with WebSockets for the software selection with a 53,8%. Finally, we present the designed architecture and a working prototype of the device that was built. Obtained response times from the reader and the database storage were as low as 10 milliseconds and as high as 20 milliseconds.
Emergencies in Hematology: Tumor Lysis Syndrome

Published: June 2023

TLS (tumor lysis syndrome) is a serious consequence of haematologic malignancies and their treatment. The condition is defined by laboratory abnormalities alone (laboratory TLS) or in conjunction with clinical consequences such as renal failure, seizures, and arrhythmias (clinical TLS). Clinical TLS is a risk factor for increased morbidity and death in cancer patients, although it may be avoided. As a result, accurate prediction is crucial to the effective management of patients at risk for TLS, and it takes into account both disease characteristics (tumor kind and load) and patient factors (baseline renal insufficiency or hyperuricaemia). In low- and intermediate-risk individuals, water and allopurinol are used to prevent TLS, whereas rasburicase is used in high-risk patients.

The signal pathway of actin remodeling, including LIM-kinase 1 (LIMK1) and its substrate cofilin, regulates multiple processes in neurons of vertebrates and invertebrates. Drosophila melanogaster is widely used as a model object for studying mechanisms of memory formation, storage, retrieval and forgetting. Previously, active forgetting in Drosophila was investigated in the standard Pavlovian olfactory conditioning paradigm. The role of specific dopaminergic neurons (DAN) and components of the actin remodeling pathway in different forms of forgetting was shown. In our research, we investigated the role of LIMK1 in Drosophila memory and forgetting in the conditioned courtship suppression paradigm (CCSP). In the Drosophila brain, LIMK1 and p-cofilin levels appeared to be low in specific neuropil structures, including the mushroom body (MB) lobes and the central complex. At the same time, LIMK1 was observed in cell bodies, such as DAN clusters regulating memory formation in CCSP. We applied GAL4 × UAS binary system to induce limk1 RNA interference in different types of neurons. The hybrid strain with limk1 interference in MB lobes and glia showed an increase in 3-h short-term memory (STM), without significant effects on long-term memory. limk1 interference in cholinergic neurons (CHN) impaired STM, while its interference in DAN and serotoninergic neurons (SRN) also dramatically impaired the flies’ learning ability. By contrast, limk1 interference in fruitless neurons (FRN) resulted in increased 15–60 min STM, indicating a possible LIMK1 role in active forgetting. Males with limk1 interference in CHN and FRN also showed the opposite trends of courtship song parameters changes. Thus, LIMK1 effects on the Drosophila male memory and courtship song appeared to depend on the neuronal type or brain structure.
On the nature of picobirnaviruses

Published: June 2023

The picobirnaviruses (Picobirnaviridae, Picobirnavirus, PBVs) are currently thought to be animal viruses, as they are usually found in animal stool samples. However, no animal model or cell culture for their propagation has yet been found. In 2018, a hypothetical assumption about PBVs belonging to prokaryotic viruses was put forward and experimentally substantiated. This hypothesis is based on the presence of Shine–Dalgarno sequences in the genome of all PBVs before three reading frames (ORF) at the ribosomal binding site, with which the prokaryotic genome is saturated, while in the eukaryotic genome such regions occur with low frequency. The genome saturation with the Shine–Dalgarno sequences, as well as the preservation of this saturation in the progeny, according to scientists, allows us to attribute PBVs to prokaryotic viruses. On the other hand, there is a possibility that PBVs belong to viruses of eukaryotic hosts – fungi or invertebrates, since PBV­like sequences similar to the genome of fungal viruses from the families of mitoviruses and partitiviruses have been identified. In this regard, the idea arose that, in terms of reproduction mode, PBVs resemble fungal viruses. The divergence of views on the true PBV host(s) has sparked discussions among scientists and required further research to elucidate their nature. The review highlights the results of the search for a PBV host. The reasons for the occurrence of atypical sequences among the PBV genome sequences that use an alter­ native mitochondrial code of lower eukaryotes (fungi and invertebrates) for the translation of viral RNA­dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) instead of the standard genetic code are analyzed. The purpose of the review was to collect arguments in support of the hypothesis about the phage nature of PBVs and to find the most realistic explanation of the reasons for identifying non­standard genomic sequences for PBVs. Based on the hypothesis about the genealogical relationship of PBVs with RNA viruses from other families with similar segmented genomes, such as Reoviridae, Cystoviridae, Totiviridae and Partitiviridae, virologists support the assumption of a decisive role in the origin of atypical PBV­like reassortment strains between PBVs and viruses of the listed families. The collected arguments given in this review indicate a high probability of a phage nature of PBVs. The data presented in the review show that the belonging of PBV­like progeny to prokaryotic or eukaryotic viruses is determined not only by its genome saturation level with a prokaryotic motif, standard or mitochondrial genetic code. The primary structure of the gene encoding the viral capsid protein responsible for the presence or absence of specific proteolytic properties of the virus that determine its ability for independent horizontal transmission into new cells may also be a decisive factor.
Compilation and functional classification of telomere length-associated genes in humans and other animal species
Authors: Ignatieva E. V. , Yudin N. S. , Larkin D. M.
Published: June 2023

Telomeres are the terminal regions of chromosomes that ensure their stability while cell division. Telomere shortening initiates cellular senescence, which can lead to degeneration and atrophy of tissues, so the process is associated with a reduction in life expectancy and predisposition to a number of diseases. An accelerated rate of telomere attrition can serve as a predictor of life expectancy and health status of an individual. Telomere length is a complex phenotypic trait that is determined by many factors, including the genetic ones. Numerous studies (including genome-wide association studies, GWAS) indicate the polygenic nature of telomere length control. The objective of the present study was to characterize the genetic basis of the telomere length regulation using the GWAS data obtained during the studies of various human and other animal populations. To do so, a compilation of the genes associated with telomere length in GWAS experiments was collected, which included information on 270 human genes, as well as 23, 22, and 9 genes identified in the cattle, sparrow, and nematode, respectively. Among them were two orthologous genes encoding a shelterin protein (POT1 in humans and pot-2 in C. elegans). Functional analysis has shown that telomere length can be influenced by genetic variants in the genes encoding: (1) structural components of telomerase; (2) the protein components of telomeric regions (shelterin and CST complexes); (3) the proteins involved in telomerase biogenesis and regulating its activity; (4) the proteins that regulate the functional activity of the shelterin components; (5) the proteins involved in telomere replication and/or capping; (6) the proteins involved in the alternative telomere lengthening; (7) the proteins that respond to DNA damage and are responsible for DNA repair; (8) RNA-exosome components. The human genes identified by several research groups in populations of different ethnic origins are the genes encoding telomerase components such as TERC and TERT as well as STN1 encoding the CST complex component. Apparently, the polymorphic loci affecting the functions of these genes may be the most reliable susceptibility markers for telomere-related diseases. The systematized data about the genes and their functions can serve as a basis for the development of prognostic criteria for telomere length-associated diseases in humans. Information about the genes and processes that control telomere length can be used for marker-assisted and genomic selection in the farm animals, aimed at increasing the duration of their productive lifetime.

Published: June 2023

Many policymakers and scholars have discussed concerns regarding terrorist group use of cryptocurrency in recent years. While some argue that the threat is still limited, others argue that the current usage of cryptocurrency does not match the entirety of features that terrorist groups require and desire. In the end, it is still critical to recognize that the cryptocurrency used for terrorist financing frequently depends on several influencing factors. This study aims to (i) investigate the utilization of cryptocurrency by Moslem-affiliated terrorists in Southeast Asia; (ii) map the case typology of cryptocurrency use in Southeast Asian terrorist funding; (iii) describe the regulatory challenges raised in Southeast Asia. This research is a type of doctrinal legal one using the statute, case, and conceptual approaches. The results of this study acknowledge the limited but increasing risk of terrorist financing by cryptocurrency over the 2015-2022 timeframe in Southeast Asia. Furthermore, the existing typology of cases uses smurfing and structuring techniques with high and medium levels of risk. This research ends by recommending actions that Southeast Asian country stakeholders can take to reduce the potential of cryptocurrency usage in terrorist funding by harmonizing their counter-terrorist financing regulatory approaches and implementing investigative best practices.

The prevalence of malocclusion and the need for orthodontic treatment in Indonesia is relatively very high. Orthodontic treatment that transmits mechanical forces to the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone cells can stimulate the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone remodeling. While this time, orthodontic treatment requires a long time, resulting in several adverse effects and discomfort. For this reason, a method that can accelerate orthodontic treatment is needed which aims to increase stability after active orthodontic treatment, to reduce the potential for relapse, and to accelerate retention time. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) stimulation is one of the methods that have this goal. This aim to study the stimulation mechanism of PEMF on the osteogenesis process of orthodontic tooth movement. Alveolar bone remodeling played an essential role in orthodontic tooth movement, is an active and dynamic process. The dynamic process depends on a balance between resorption and bone formation (osteogenesis). PEMF stimulation is a nonsurgical method that can promote osteogenesis through activation of Wnt signaling. Several studies showed that this method could accelerate retention time and orthodontic treatment. PEMF stimulated osteogenesis through activation of Wnt signaling in orthodontic tooth movement.
