Procedure Proposal for Minimising the Dynamic Error of Second-Order Sensors
Authors: Tomczyk Krzysztof , Kowalczyk Małgorzata , Ostrowska Ksenia
Published: March 2022

This paper proposes the procedure for minimising the dynamic error in the time and frequency domains, based on the example of a second-order sensor. Our procedure includes three main steps: modelling of the sensors using the Monte Carlo (MC) method; determination of the maximum value of the dynamic error using the integral-square criterion (ISC); and optimisation of the parameters of the sensor model by minimising the ISC. The uncertainties associated with the modelling procedure and the MC method are also considered. The mathematical formulae necessary for implementation in a given programming language (MathCad, MATLAB, C, etc.) are presented in detail. The proposed procedure was implemented in the frequency domain, using MathCad 15, and applied to the example of the Althen 731-207 accelerometer. Validation of the proposed procedure was carried out using a digital signal processor of type TMS320C6713. The proposed procedure can increase the accuracy of the signal processing obtained at the output of sensors applied to a wide range of measurements.
Trends Assessing Neuromuscular Fatigue in Team Sports: A Narrative Review
Authors: Alba-Jiménez Claudia , Moreno-Doutres Daniel , Peña Javier
Published: March 2022

Neuromuscular fatigue is defined as a reduction induced by exercise in the maximal voluntary force that a muscle or group of muscles can generate. An accumulation of work or an incomplete force restoration can significantly influence the neuromuscular performance in both the short and long terms. Thus, fatigue management is essential for controlling the training adaptations of athletes and reducing their susceptibility to injury and illness. The main individualized monitoring tools used to describe fatigue are questionnaires and subjective assessments of fatigue, biochemical markers, sprint tests, and vertical jump tests. Among the subjective measures, the rating of the perceived exertion has been widely used because of its simplicity and high validity. In terms of the objective measures, one of the more frequently employed tools by practitioners to assess neuromuscular fatigue is the countermovement jump. Because of its high validity and reliability, it is accepted as the reference standard test in sports, in general, and particularly in team sports. Our review aims to clarify how all these indicators, as well as several devices, can help coaches in different sports contexts to monitor neuromuscular fatigue, and how these procedures should be used to obtain data that can be used to make decisions in complex environments.
Machine Learning Framework for the Prediction of Alzheimer’s Disease Using Gene Expression Data Based on Efficient Gene Selection

Published: March 2022

In recent years, much research has focused on using machine learning (ML) for disease prediction based on gene expression (GE) data. However, many diseases have received considerable attention, whereas some, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), have not, perhaps due to data shortage. The present work is intended to fill this gap by introducing a symmetric framework to predict AD from GE data, with the aim to produce the most accurate prediction using the smallest number of genes. The framework works in four stages after it receives a training dataset: pre-processing, gene selection (GS), classification, and AD prediction. The symmetry of the model is manifested in all of its stages. In the pre-processing stage gene columns in the training dataset are pre-processed identically. In the GS stage, the same user-defined filter metrics are invoked on every gene individually, and so are the same user-defined wrapper metrics. In the classification stage, a number of user-defined ML models are applied identically using the minimal set of genes selected in the preceding stage. The core of the proposed framework is a meticulous GS algorithm which we have designed to nominate eight subsets of the original set of genes provided in the training dataset. Exploring the eight subsets, the algorithm selects the best one to describe AD, and also the best ML model to predict the disease using this subset. For credible results, the framework calculates performance metrics using repeated stratified k-fold cross validation. To evaluate the framework, we used an AD dataset of 1157 cases and 39,280 genes, obtained by combining a number of smaller public datasets. The cases were split in two partitions, 1000 for training/testing, using 10-fold CV repeated 30 times, and 157 for validation. From the testing/training phase, the framework identified only 1058 genes to be the most relevant and the support vector machine (SVM) model to be the most accurate with these genes. In the final validation, we used the 157 cases that were never seen by the SVM classifier. For credible performance evaluation, we evaluated the classifier via six metrics, for which we obtained impressive values. Specifically, we obtained 0.97, 0.97, 0.98, 0.945, 0.972, and 0.975 for the sensitivity (recall), specificity, precision, kappa index, AUC, and accuracy, respectively.
Operator Relationship between Conventional Coupled Cluster and Unitary Coupled Cluster
Authors: Freericks James K.
Published: March 2022

The chemistry community has long sought the exact relationship between the conventional and the unitary coupled cluster ansatz for a single-reference system, especially given the interest in performing quantum chemistry on quantum computers. In this work, we show how one can use the operator manipulations given by the exponential disentangling identity and the Hadamard lemma to relate the factorized form of the unitary coupled-cluster approximation to a factorized form of the conventional coupled cluster approximation (the factorized form is required, because some amplitudes are operator-valued and do not commute with other terms). By employing the Trotter product formula, one can then relate the factorized form to the standard form of the unitary coupled cluster ansatz. The operator dependence of the factorized form of the coupled cluster approximation can also be removed at the expense of requiring even more higher-rank operators, finally yielding the conventional coupled cluster. The algebraic manipulations of this approach are daunting to carry out by hand, but can be automated on a computer for small enough systems.

Published: March 2022

Ideas related to the systematization of educational technologies are of great interest. This is due, among other things, to the principles of symmetry. On the basis of their application, the synthesis of well-established facts and principles in international education will be realized. Practical needs that are directed towards the future will also be realized. This paper is devoted to the study and creation of a methodology that makes it possible to evaluate the resource efficiency of an interethnic digital platform. The developed methodology of resource allocation for the promotion of digital educational programs is unified and can be applied in any region or country. Considering the specific legislative acts on the financial support of higher education and the need for professionals in certain areas, this method allows you to give a qualitative assessment and determine the necessary resources for the development and promotion of an interethnic digital educational platform, identifying the most appropriate areas of education depending on the region or country.

Authors: Ramos-Guerrero Luis , Montalvo Gemma , Cosmi Marzia , García-Ruiz Carmen , Ortega-Ojeda Fernando E.
Published: March 2022

The Raman analysis of marijuana is challenging because of the sample’s easy photo-degradation caused by the laser intensity. In this study, optimization of collection parameters and laser focusing on marijuana trichome heads allowed collecting Raman spectra without damaging the samples. The Raman spectra of Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and cannabinol (CBN) standard cannabinoids were compared with Raman spectra of five different types of marijuana: four Sativa varieties (Amnesia Haze, Amnesia Hy-Pro, Original Amnesia, and Y Griega) and one Indica variety (Black Domina). The results verified the presence of several common spectral bands that are useful for marijuana characterization. Results were corroborated by the quantum chemical simulated Raman spectra of their acid-form (tetrahydrocannabinol acid (THCA), cannabidiol acid (CBDA)) and decarboxylated cannabinoids (THC, CBD, and CBN). A chemometrics-assisted method based on Raman microscopy and OPLS-DA offered good classification among the different marijuana varieties allowing identification of the most significant spectral bands.
The Importance of Accurate Host Species Identification in the Framework of Rabies Surveillance, Control and Elimination
Authors: De Benedictis Paola , Leopardi Stefania , Markotter Wanda , Velasco-Villa Andres
Published: March 2022

Accurate host identification is paramount to understand disease epidemiology and to apply appropriate control measures. This is especially important for multi-host pathogens such as the rabies virus, a major and almost invariably fatal zoonosis that has mobilized unanimous engagement at an international level towards the final goal of zero human deaths due to canine rabies. Currently, diagnostic laboratories implement a standardized identification using taxonomic keys. However, this method is challenged by high and undiscovered biodiversity, decomposition of carcasses and subjective misevaluation, as has been attested to by findings from a cohort of 242 archived specimens collected across Sub-Saharan Africa and submitted for rabies diagnosis. We applied two simple and cheap methods targeting the Cytochrome b and Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I to confirm the initial classification. We therefore suggest prioritizing a standardized protocol that includes, as a first step, the implementation of taxonomic keys at a family or subfamily level, followed by the molecular characterization of the host species.
Epigenomic and Proteomic Changes in Fetal Spleens Persistently Infected with Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus: Repercussions for the Developing Immune System, Bone, Brain, and Heart
Authors: Georges Hanah , Van Campen Hana , Bielefeldt-Ohmann Helle , Hansen Thomas
Published: March 2022

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) infection during early gestation results in persistently infected (PI) immunotolerant calves that are the primary reservoirs of the virus. Pathologies observed in PI cattle include congenital defects of the brain, heart, and bone as well as marked functional defects in their immune system. It was hypothesized that fetal BVDV infection alters T cell activation and signaling genes by epigenetic mechanisms. To test this, PI and control fetal splenic tissues were collected on day 245 of gestation, 170 days post maternal infection. DNA was isolated for reduced representation bisulfite sequencing, protein was isolated for proteomics, both were analyzed with appropriate bioinformatic methods. Within set parameters, 1951 hypermethylated and 691 hypomethylated DNA regions were identified in PI compared to control fetuses. Pathways associated with immune system, neural, cardiac, and bone development were associated with heavily methylated DNA. The proteomic analysis revealed 12 differentially expressed proteins in PI vs. control animals. Upregulated proteins were associated with protein processing, whereas downregulated proteins were associated with lymphocyte migration and development in PI compared to control fetal spleens. The epigenetic changes in DNA may explain the immune dysfunctions, abnormal bone formation, and brain and heart defects observed in PI animals.

Currently, in developing countries, MSMEs have a big contribution to grow the community's economy, including Indonesia. MSMEs hold an essential position in economic progress. There are still very few researchers who examine the BI Rate, Inflation, and the Rupiah Exchange Rate on MSME credit financing. So, researchers are interested in taking this title. This study is an explanatory research which aims to describe the causal correlation between variables through hypotheses and is carried out through descriptive analysis. The population in this study is all MSMEs in Indonesia that receive credit financing. The data taken is the period 2011-2019. Population data collection techniques are carried out using a time series approach using an annual scale. The result is that the BI Rate, Inflation and the Rupiah Exchange rate partially have no effect and are not significant on MSME credit financing. Meanwhile, the BI Rate, Inflation, and the Rupiah Exchange simultaneously have a significant effect on MSME credit financing.

Authors: DEMİRAL SEZER Sibel
Published: March 2022

Giriş ve Amaç: Helikobakter pilori (Hp) enfeksiyonu tanısında invaziv ve non-invaziv testler mevcuttur. Bu testler içerisinde endoskopik biopsi altın standarttır. Bu çalışmada; Hp tanısında kullanılan gaitada antijen testinin özgüllük ve duyarlılığını mide endoskopik biopsisi ile karşılaştırmayı amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi Tepecik Eğitim ve Araştırma hastanesi iç hastalıkları polikliniğine Ocak 2016-Nisan 2018 tarihleri arasında dispeptik şikayetler ile başvuran toplam 220 hasta geriye dönük taranmıştır. Bu hastalardan; eşzamanlı Hp tanısı için gaitada antijen ve endoskopik biopsi yapılan, her iki tanı testi arasında antibiyotik ve proton pompa inhibitörü almamış olan 74 hasta çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir.

Bulgular: Gaitada Hp antijeni pozitif saptanan 45 hastanın 42 (%93,3)’sinde endoskopik biopsi pozitif iken; gaitada Hp antijeni negatif saptanan 29 hastanın 3 (%10,3)’ünde endoskopik biopside Hp pozitif saptandı. Endoskopik biopsi ile karşılaştırıldığında gaitada Hp antijeninin duyarlılığı %93.3, özgüllüğü %89,6, pozitif prediktif değeri %93,3, negatif prediktif değeri %89,6 olarak bulunmuştur. Hp tespitinde kitin duyarlılığı %94’ün üzerinde kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada da sonuçlar benzerdir (%93,3).

Diagnostic Efficacy of Perfusion Index and Pleth Variability Index in Patients Admitted to the Emergency Department with Chest Pain
Authors: GÜLLÜ Durali , ARMAGAN Hamit Hakan , KARAMAN Kivanç
Published: March 2022

Objective: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Therefore, rapid differential diagnosis and treatment is required in patients who present to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain. In this disorder, in which rapid diagnosis and treatment are life-saving, novel diagnostic methods are being proposed every day. This study aimed to reveal the contributions of the Perfusion Index (PI) and the Pleth Variability Index (PVI) measurements to management of patients with chest pain.

Materials and Methods: PI and PVI measurements were carried out during routine clinical procedure by a trained

triage nurse who was blinded to the study using the Masimo Radical 7 Pulse Oximetry Device in all adult patients who were admitted to the ED with the complaint of chest pain between April 1st, 2019 and October 1st, 2019. The demographic characteristics, PI, PVI, HEART score, ECG findings, and troponin levels were recorded.

Results: A total of 154 patients, 96 (62.3%) of whom were males, were included in our study. The mean age was calculated as 55.1 ±18.2 years in men, 56.8 ±20.2 years in women, and 56.3±18.9 years in total. Of all patients, 66 (42.8%) were hospitalized with ACS diagnosis, and 88 (57.2%) were discharged from ED. The hospitalized patients had statistically higher values for Troponin, HEART score, and mean age. There was no difference between the two groups regarding PI and PVI.

Conclusion: We think that the contributions of PI and PVI to emergency physicians in the management of patients who are evaluated with suspicion of ACS in the ED will be limited.

Tamil language flourished with Grammatical Literature. It originated along with the origination of the human race. It flourishes and cherishes through all the ages of the Tamil speaking communities with a pack of generational histories. The present paper is to highlight the words from the Tamil Classical Literature and the establishment of its functional usages of today. Also it is to underscore the alien words that hack the beauty of the ideal Tamil language. In Tamil language poetry, prose, essay, novel and short stories taking its reformed spirit according to the newness of the current scenario.There was a rejuvenated spirit among the Tamil language speakers to carry certain words for many generations. It was a gift of all lovers of Tamil speakers today. In one sense the researcher on Tamil language finds, there are alien words weeds to spoil the Tamil original word usages. Only the new innovations in Tamil literary genres and by naming the scientific and technical innovations alone safeguard the Tamil language vocabularies in rhetorical sense. Poetry from Classical Literature is not a comfortable one to read now. The poetic aesthetic sense from classic should be modified according to the present generation to read and feel what it was.  The words from Classical Literature fail to give its functional message. For that one needs interpreters, so the need of the commentators and the usage of  Dictionaries are preferable for our everyday communication. This paper spots the words like kadavul (God), arisi (rice), manjal (yellow) all from the tamil classical literature are still in function.
Kannaki softness and hardness
Authors: R Rathi
Published: March 2022

The literature has portrayed woman as a symbol of gentleness and a symbol of orderly violence. Realizing such a traditional background, the silappathikaram author Ilangovadikal did not portray Kannaki as a symbol of violence at the beginning of the story. But her efforts to portray her protagonist as a revolutionary woman are remarkable. Thus, his female character 'Kannaki' continues to prove that she is strong in spirit, word and deed through every action. He finally exalts her to divinity. Her ability to portray these functions through her tenderness and harshness is remarkable. This article is being prepared with such orientations in mind.
Social Vision in Tamil Folklore

Published: March 2022

Folklore reflects biological facts and social customs. Lullabies reveal that childbearing is essential for a husband and wife. If it rains when the rainy sprouting festival and the horse-drawing ceremony are held, not only the plowman of God's grace will be happy that the world has got a pleasant life. It can be seen that the folk cults which were humble originated with causal things. Folk literature refers to the civilization, culture, customs, beliefs and cults of a tribe. Folk songs, stories and proverbs cannot be considered to have originated to please others. It can be seen as an expression of people's feelings of happiness and suffering. Folk literary research has grown into a major field today. In lullabies, the mother's consciousness is abundant. Childbirth is very important in domestic life in society. The man who worshipped nature later created an appearance and worshipped the deity in the mountains, trees and water bodies. The people of the country can see that they worship the gods and their ancestors who protect the town. Folklore can see that birth, marriage and death have rituals and beliefs.

News about transplantation in Sangam literature is widely included in all texts. Nadukal (stele) performed his heroic deeds in the war, understood the war and was taken to the chest-wounded dead. The article makes it clear that the primary reason for the transplant was that Yathen was in a position to give the impression that the dead were living with them. The article goes on to explain that the performance of Nadukal worship is an expression of heroism and is considered to be the primary debt paid by the warriors to the Veeramanaram Eidyas. The article is located in the Sangam literature to illustrate the way in which Nadukal has continued in Tamil culture for a long time.

Published: March 2022

The study of the theatrical shooting dance seeks to explore the specialties of dance through the songs of the Nayanmars. The four epics of the Nayanmarsreveal the dress through theology. However, this study seeks to identify the theatrical manifestation of Thirugnanasambandar Thirunavukkarasar's epistles centered on only a few verses with the help of theological texts. In that sense the twists and turns of these two express the divine dress through theology. The Nayanmars, who look at Natarajan as a dancer, see the Lord's robe, which has risen in various temples, from different angles. The theology embedded in their rhymes and the accompanying dance give the opportunity to see the dress in theology. The theological findings of this study will be useful and relevant to the future researcher.

Published: March 2022

Tamil poets have created, named, categorized, summarized and preserved dialects based on dialects in order to preserve the language they speak. Before exploring the importance of numbers in language it is necessary to know the design of grammatical literature. It is possible that the Sanskrit poets called the text grammar of the words when they recorded the language, they created in the journals so that it would be known to the world, and the textual literature of the world empirical biographies based on his linguistic ability. By learning the language of counting and writing as the body and soul direct the human being, it is possible to know through the Tamil numerals that the numbers representing the measurements are also designed while the letters are being created. The purpose of the article is to give an overview of the measurements that have taken place in human life, with descriptions of messages, numbers, and nouns. The importance of numbers has been highlighted in explaining the alphabetical order of the letters and the alphabetical alphabets created for the Tamil language under the heading of letters and numbers, as well as the design of the vowels formed with the primary letters. The use of numbers in the classification of letters by alphabetical order is illustrated by the use of numbers to distinguish vowel letters into vowel, melody, and interjection types, and to point and quote characters. The words created for measurements such as size and mass are the primary letters of the words and the reasons for giving a special place to measurements in Tamil are explained. In order to give Tamil a lofty place in the world languages ​​in the end, there are poems in which the Tamils ​​use their numbers to indicate the year of publication, the year of an action, the time of action, and the number of soldiers involved in the war. The conclusion of the study is outlined.

Selama pandemic Covid-19, kegiatan posyandu tidak optimal cakupannya. Posyandu haruslah dapat berjalan meskipun di situasi pandemic Covid-19 ini, dikarenakan di monitoring kesehatan ibu, anak, tumbuh kembang anak balita hingga imunisasi  di masyarakat berlangsung di posyandu, hanya 19.2% posyandu yang tetap berjalan selama pandemic. Salah satu faktor penyebab rendahnya kunjungan posyandi selama pandemic Covid-19 ialah adanya rasa khawatir ibu, bayi akan terinfeksi Covid-19 apabila membawa bayinya ke posyandu. Faktor yang mempengaruhi kecemasan salah satu faktornya adalah kurangnya pemahaman/pengetahuan. Dari survey awal di lokasi penelitian didapati mayoritas orangtua merasa cemas jika membawa bayi balitanya ke posyandu takut terinfeksi Covid-19. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis ada ada hubungan pengetahuan dan kecemasan orangtua bawa bayi ke posyandu di tengah pandemi Covid-19. Metode penelitian ini adalah analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional, Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu yang memiliki bayi usia 0-12 bulan di Kelurahan Pekan Tanjung Morawa, Kabupaten Deli Serdang, Sumatera Utara sejumlah 80 orang. Populasi penelitian ini menggunakan teknik simple random sampling dengan jumlah populasi adalah 66 orang. Uji analisi penelitian menggunakan chi-square. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan ada hubungan yang signifikan antara pengetahuan dan kecemasan orangtua bawa bayi ke posyandu di pandemi Covid-19 (p-value= <0.05).

La investigación se planteó como objetivo describir el seguimiento de los resultados de aprendizajes esperados de las Prácticas Pre Profesionales de estudiantes de enfermería de la Universidad de Guayaquil. El estudio se estructuró desde un diseño bibliográfico-documental. Los resultados evidencian que las competencias de aprendizaje que fomentan y capacitan para la práctica, conforman el groso contenido de las asignaturas; permitiendo que al final del plan curricular sea netamente práctico, especialmente con el componente del internado rotativo, en el octavo y noveno semestrea; respectivamente. Se concluye, en relación con las competencias del Ser, que hay poca declaración de resultados de aprendizaje que sean correspondiente con esta competencia. En las competencias del saber se declara reconocimiento del Proceso de Atención de Enfermería y de necesidades de los pacientes y en las competencias del Hacer; las asignaturas de las Prácticas Pre Profesionales son netamente prácticas.

El objetivo general de la investigación fue analizar el principio de inmediación en juicios civiles virtuales durante la emergencia sanitaria en ecuador. Se fundamentó en la metodología cuantitativa, apoyada en la investigación documental-bibliográfica, lo cual permitió la obtención de información detallada sobre el tema de estudio. Se aplicó, el método inductivo-deductivo y analítico-sintético que estudia los hechos, partiendo de la descomposición del objeto de estudio en cada una de sus partes para estudiarlas en forma individual. Como resultado, del análisis jurídico sitúa en evidencia la falta de aplicación del principio de inmediación en juicios civiles virtuales durante la emergencia sanitaria en Ecuador; ya que con el fin de garantizar el derecho constitucional del acceso a la justicia se implementaron diferentes mecanismos legales para hacer que esto se cumpla. Se concluye que el principio de inmediación se constituye como el principio procesal elemental para la actividad probatoria en el sistema procesal.

ANALISIS RUGI-RUGI DAYA JARINGAN DISTRIBUSI 20 kV PADA SISTEM PLN KOTA KUPANG
Authors: Kurniati. A Sri , S Sudirman
Published: March 2022

Pada dasarnya sistem tenaga listrik Kupang tidak dapat diidentifikasi secara pasti ke dalam salah satu tipedistribusi yang ada, karena secara umum sistem ini merupakan kombinasi dari tipe radial, spindle dan ring.Penentuan jumlah rugi-rugi energi yang tepat setiap bulan merupakan kebutuhan pengoperasian sistemtenaga listrik yang paling mendesak. Rugi-rugi pada jaringan sistem tenaga listrik disebabkan olehpembebanan yang tidak seimbang antara ketiga fasa sistem, panas yang timbul pada konduktor saluranmaupun transformator, serta panas yang timbul pada sambungan konduktor yang buruk (loss contact).Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah melakukan analisis rugi-rugi daya jaringan distribusi 20 kV pada sistemKota Kupang.Analisis studi aliran daya dilakukan pada 6 penyulang, yakni penyulang tompello, penyulang walikota,penyulang Tingkat I, penyulang Tabulolong, penyulang Penfui, dan penyulang Oebufu pada sistemdistribusi kota Kupang dengan menggunakan metode Newton-Raphson. Berdasarkan hasil analisis studialiran daya ini diperoleh informasi bahwa penyulang Tingkat I mempunyai persentase rugi daya aktif yangpaling kecil, yakni 0,189%, sedangkan penyulang Penfui mempunyai persentase rugi daya aktif yang palingbesar, yakni 1, 82%. Selanjutnya hasil analisis jatuh tegangan diketahui bahwa penyulang Penfuimempunyai persentase jatuh tegangan yang paling besar yakni 3,205%, sedangkan pada penyulang lainnyamasing masing masing diperoleh, penyulang Tompello = 0,520%, penyulang walikota 1,577%, penyulangtingkat I = 0,520, penyulang Tabulolong = 2,006%, dan penyulang Oebufu = 2, 723%.
