Abstract:First Person Shooter (FPS) this game is usually a shooting game where the appearance is seen from the player’s eyes. Where each zombie object appears automatically then the user will try to shoot at the zombie object, so if the a zombie object is shot will increase the score value. Unity3d is an IDE display for free java/androiddevelopment. Meanwhile,according to safaat (2013:6) unity3d contains an IDE game engine used to make android coding. Unity3d is a supporting application for android development that is free. At the level of the game starts  with an easy level by getting points and adventure, then the level will automatically go up. An alternative game to be able to provide games that are able to hone the brains ability in logic/mathematics and can implement the First Personal Shooter (FPS) game with an Android-based united3d game engine. It is hoped that the development of this application can be a reference not that the geofencing algorithm is not only be applied to map-based applications so that the geofencing algorithm can be applied to similar applications as information technology developments.
VICARIOUS EMBARRASSMENT SCALE: MORE OF CULTURE THAN EMPATHY
Authors: Budiarto Yohanes , Faturochman Faturochman , Lufityanto Galang
Published: May 2023

Traditionally, the vicarious embarrassment scale (VES) is developed by involving a protagonist with no relationship with the observer. This condition becomes problematic, especially in collectivistic contexts with interdependence in personal social relations. The protagonists of the original VES were modified from strangers to friends and family and were compared their psychometric properties and associations with empathy and self-construals. A total of 112 university students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, filled out the online questionnaires voluntarily. Tests with Unrestricted Factor Analysis showed the retrieved eigenvalues of VES Other, VES Friend, and VES Family accounted for 61.54, 68.29, and 77.05, respectively. All VES were unidimensional, according to the parallel analysis with robust parallel using 500 random polychoric correlation matrices. Good internal consistency reliability was achieved, and fit criteria were met. This study supported previous findings of VES disassociation with empathy. The importance of cultural values reflected in self-construal showed interdependent self-construal relations with different protagonists with all VE scales. In contrast, independent self-construal was associated only with vicarious embarrassment with an unknown protagonist.

Published: May 2023

The primary aim of the current investigation was to evaluate the role of NT-proBNP in the diagnosis of diastolic heart failure and its correlation with echocardiography. Hospital based observational and analytical study undertaken on a total of 65 patients of diastolic heart failure fulfilling clinical inclusion criteria. The enrolled patients had a mean age of 54.5 years with a female preponderance (33 females vs. 32 males). Patients underwent clinical evaluation and echocardiography examination. NT-proBNP estimation was done using autoanalyzer working on principle of electrochemiluminisense. Patients were divided into various grades of diastolic dysfunction on the basis of echocardiography. Statistical analysis was done to find the significance of levels of NT-proBNP and its correlation with the grading of diastolic heart failure. There was a statistically significant higher level of serum NT-proBNP in patients with diastolic heart failure and the increasing levels were directly proportional to severity of diastolic dysfunction. The mean level of NTproBNP increased from 361.08 pg/ml to 3570 pg/ml in increasing severity of diastolic dysfunction. Results suggested positive correlation of rising NT-proBNP levels with increasing severity of diastolic dysfunction.

Published: May 2023

Crescent-shaped structures in transition disks hold the key to studying the putative companions to the central stars. The dust dynamics, especially that of different grain sizes, is important to understanding the role of pressure bumps in planet formation. In this work, we present deep dust continuum observation with high resolution toward the Oph IRS 48 system. For the first time, we are able to significantly trace and detect emission along 95% of the ring crossing the crescent-shaped structure. The ring is highly eccentric with an eccentricity of 0.27. The flux density contrast between the peak of the flux and its counterpart along the ring is ∼270. In addition, we detect a compact emission toward the central star. If the emission is an inner circumstellar disk inside the cavity, it has a radius of at most a couple of astronomical units with a dust mass of 1.5 × 10−8
M
⊙, or 0.005 M
⊕. We also discuss the implications of the potential eccentric orbit on the proper motion of the crescent, the putative secondary companion, and the asymmetry in velocity maps.

Over the past decade, observations of relativistic outflows from outbursting X-ray binaries in the Galactic field have grown significantly. In this work, we present the first detection of moving and decelerating radio-emitting outflows from an X-ray binary in a globular cluster. MAXI J1848−015 is a recently discovered transient X-ray binary in the direction of the globular cluster GLIMPSE-C01. Using observations from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, and a monitoring campaign with the MeerKAT observatory for 500 days, we model the motion of the outflows. This represents some of the most intensive, long-term coverage of relativistically moving X-ray binary outflows to date. We use the proper motions of the outflows from MAXI J1848−015 to constrain the component of the intrinsic jet speed along the line of sight,

, to be =0.19 ± 0.02. Assuming it is located in GLIMPSE-C01, at 3.4 kpc, we determine the intrinsic jet speed, β
int = 0.79 ± 0.07, and the inclination angle to the line of sight, θ
ejection = 76° ± 2°. This makes the outflows from MAXI J1848−015 somewhat slower than those seen from many other known X-ray binaries. We also constrain the maximum distance to MAXI J1848−015 to be 4.3 kpc. Finally, we discuss the implications of our findings for the nature of the compact object in this system, finding that a black hole primary is a viable (but as-of-yet unconfirmed) explanation for the observed properties of MAXI J1848−015. If future data and/or analysis provide more conclusive evidence that MAXI J1848−015 indeed hosts a black hole, it would be the first black hole X-ray binary in outburst identified in a Galactic globular cluster.

Authors: Ahmed Foad , Farag M. S. , Haridy M. F. , Elezz A. F. Abo , Ghoniem A. F.
Published: May 2023

Background: Various treatment modalities are available to decrease the postoperative sensitivity of indirect resin composite restorations.
Aim: Compare the effectiveness of immediate dentin sealing using universal adhesive and air abrasion versus immediate dentin sealing without air abrasion on postoperative sensitivity in teeth prepared for indirect resin composite restorations.
Methods and Materials: Twenty-eight patients between 18 and 30 years of age were recruited and randomized to two treatment protocols with fourteen teeth (n = 14) included in each protocol. After baseline preoperative data collection, the diagnosis of caries was made depending on the clinical examination and radiographic examination. After cavity preparation was done, all cavities in each protocol were managed with immediate dentin sealing, and the single-bond universal adhesive was applied over all the dentinal surfaces according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Protocol One (P1) air abrasion was used for immediate dentin sealing before cementation. In the second protocol (P2), the dentin was sealed without the use of air abrasion. Postoperative sensitivity (POS) was evaluated using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at baseline, one day after the cavity preparation (T1), one-week post-cementation of the indirect composite restoration (T2), after 3 months (T3), and after 12 months (T4).
Statistical analysis used: The normality of distribution parameters was evaluated by one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov first, and then, for nonparametric distribution, the Kruskal-Wallis Test was used to test the interaction between different variables. followed by the Mann-Whitney U test to compare the two groups.
Results: Despite air abrasion's effect, there was no statistically significant change in scores between the P1 and P2 groups. Postoperative sensitivity was highest at T1, then T2, T3, and T4. Statistically, these differences were significant (P 0.001). No statistically significant differences (P > 0.05) were found between T2, T3, and T4 with or without air abrasion.
Conclusion: Air abrasion during cementation of indirect resin restorations does not affect postoperative sensitivity after immediate dentin sealing.
Keywords: Immediate dentin sealing, Air abrasion, surface treatment, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Postoperative sensitivity.
Key Messages: Air abrasion applied to immediate dentin sealing can be used safely without affecting postoperative sensitivity.

Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND: The pediatric early warning score (PEWS) can assist in the identification of patients on wards who are at risk of deterioration.

AIM: This study was aimed to examine the accuracy of PEWS recording and its association with clinical outcomes in a tertiary hospital.

METHODS: A retrospective and case-controlled study was conducted on participants aged 1 month – 18 years admitted emergently from the ward to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) due to clinical deterioration between January and December 2021. The documented PEWS score was obtained from medical records, while the corrected PEWS score was calculated from the patients’ clinical data at the same time the documented PEWS score recorded.

RESULTS: Total 70 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included for analysis. We observed about 38 patients (54.3%) had PEWS errors. We also observed significant difference in the respiratory and gastroenterology diagnosis categories between the PEWS error group and non-PEWS error group. The mean documented PEWS score at PICU admission was lower in PEWS error patients compared to non-PEWS error patients (1.34 ± 1.28 versus 4.31 ± 2.73, respectively, p < 0.05). The need for vasoactive drugs was significantly higher at 72 h after PICU admission and at PICU discharge for the patients in PEWS errors group (p < 0.05). PEWS errors group were associated with higher need for vasoactive drugs (RR = 2.01; 95% CI: 1.22–3.31; p < 0.05).

CONCLUSION: Inaccurate recording of PEWS caused earlier and higher need for vasoactive drugs in patients with unplanned PICU admission. We highlighted the importance of PEWS in the clinical outcome of pediatric patients.

Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND: Ischemic stroke dominated up to 76% of the 101.5 million stroke cases globally. One of the treatments for stroke is secondary prevention by administering antiplatelet. Clopidogrel is an add-on antiplatelet to the dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) regimen. In its metabolism, clopidogrel can show the nature of resistance and bleeding risk. Studies on resistance have been widely put forward but not with the bleeding. The study of the bleeding risk to Asian races focused only on East Asian races.

AIM: The objective of the study is to determine the bleeding risk in the Indonesian population and the correlation with the polymorphism of CYP2C19 allele 17.

METHODS: There were 112 participants in this study. About 45.5% showed a normal response to clopidogrel, but 40.2% had a bleeding risk. All participants (100.0%) had mutations in CYP2C19 allele 17, with 47.3% being intermediate metabolizers.

RESULTS: The bleeding risk was significantly correlated with clopidogrel (p: 0.02). The Indonesian population has a high bleeding risk from the clopidogrel administration.

CONCLUSION: Compared to DAPT administration, clopidogrel can be a monotherapy for secondary stroke prevention.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is transforming biodiversity monitoring in aquatic environments where the method has repeatedly shown comparable or better performance than conventional approaches to fish monitoring. This method has been developed and deployed, primarily using shoreline sampling during the winter months, across 101 lakes in Great Britain alone, covering a wide spectrum of lake types and ecological quality. Previous analyses on a subset of these lakes indicated that 20 water samples per lake are sufficient to reliably estimate fish species richness, but it is unclear how reduced eDNA sampling effort affects richness, or other biodiversity estimates and metrics. As the number of samples strongly influences the cost of monitoring programmes, it is essential that sampling effort is optimised for a specific monitoring objective. The aim of this project was to explore the effect of reduced eDNA sampling effort on biodiversity metrics (namely species richness and community composition) using algorithmic and statistical resampling techniques. The results showed that reliable estimation of lake fish species richness could in fact usually be achieved with a much lower number of samples. For example, in almost 90% of lakes, 95% of complete fish richness could be detected with only 10 water samples, regardless of lake area. Similarly other measures of alpha and beta-diversity were not greatly affected by a reduction in sample size from 20 to 10 samples. We also found that there is no significant difference in detected species richness between shoreline and offshore sampling transects, allowing for simplified field logistics. This could potentially allow the effective sampling of a larger number of lakes within a given monitoring budget. However, rare species were more often missed with fewer samples, with potential implications for monitoring of invasive or endangered species. These results should inform the design of eDNA sampling strategies, so that these can be optimised to achieve specific monitoring goals.

Spinycheek crayfish (Faxonius limosus) and signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) are successful North American invasive crayfish species distributed throughout Europe. Both species compete with native benthic fish for shelter. In a laboratory approach, we assessed competition for shelter and antagonistic interactions between these invasive crayfish species and the native benthic fish species, stone loach (Barbatula barbatula) and bullhead (Cottus gobio). This allows for studying the potential impacts of invasive crayfish on native benthic fish. Spinycheek crayfish and signal crayfish were able to gain control of the shelter and could successfully displace both benthic fish species. For stone loach, the presence of crayfish significantly decreased their shelter use and caused several behavioural changes such as reduced activity and increased hiding behaviour outside the shelter. Although the shelter use by bullheads was not reduced, they displayed similar behavioural changes, if less intense. Invasive crayfish species showed remarkable combative interactions against both species of benthic fishes, evidenced by the high number of aggressive interactions, especially concerning stone loach. Our results highlight the pronounced dominance of invasive crayfish over benthic fish in terms of shelter competition and aggressive interactions under laboratory conditions, which consequently might promote the latter’s exposure to predation.
L’herméneutique des situations d’interactions sociales
Authors: Jeffrey Denis
Published: May 2023

Comme l’avait bien vu Irving Goffman, une interaction sociale est un univers complexe d’affection, de sens, de valeurs, de normes et de convictions. Durant une interaction, toutes ces dimensions sont l’objet d’une relecture constante afin que les interlocuteurs puissent se comprendre et comprendre ce qui est en train de se passer. L’herméneutique des interactions sociales s’intéresse à cet effort, de la part des interlocuteurs, pour se comprendre, comprendre autrui et comprendre ce qui se passe au cours de l’interaction. Nous désirons ici présenter quelques-uns des enjeux inhérents à cette herméneutique qui vise, notamment, à maintenir des liens de confiance entre interlocuteurs.
Des hommes de qualité. Genre et (dé)qualification dans des formations « féminines » du supérieur
Authors: Olivier Alice
Published: May 2023

Comment le travail des hommes de professions « féminines » est-il qualifié, et quels éclairages cela apporte-t-il sur les liens entre genre et qualification ? L’article explore cette question à partir d’entretiens et d’observations menés en formations de sage-femme et d’assistant·e de service social, en se centrant sur la pratique professionnelle d’accompagnement. Pour accompagner les patientes et usager·e·s, les rares étudiants hommes doivent faire preuve de certaines dispositions dites « féminines ». Souvent supposées comme plus évidentes pour les femmes, ces dispositions sont construites et reconnues comme le résultat d’un travail pour eux, et sont à ce titre distinctives. Ces étudiants sont par ailleurs valorisés pour leur appartenance de sexe par de multiples biais, révélant une qualification de la « nature masculine ». Enfin, ces hommes sont perçus et, surtout, se perçoivent eux-mêmes comme dotés d’un professionnalisme marqué, qui qualifie fortement leur travail et déqualifie celui des femmes.

Previously, we demonstrated that post-immunobiotics derived from Lactobacillus gasseri TMT36, TMT39, and TMT40 strains (HK36, HK39 and HK40, respectively) differentially regulated Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3)-mediated antiviral respiratory immunity in infant mice. In this work, we investigated whether the HK36, HK39 and HK40 nasal treatments were able to improve the resistance against primary respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and secondary pneumococcal pneumonia. Our results demonstrated that the three treatments increased the resistance to primary viral infection by reducing variations in body weight, RSV titers and lung damage of infected infant mice. Post-immunobiotics significantly enhanced the expressions of interferon (IFN)-λ, IFN-β, IFN-γ, interleukin(IL) - 1β, IL-6, IL-27, Mx1, RNAseL and 2’-5’-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1) genes and decreased tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α in alveolar macrophages of RSV-challenged mice. In addition, the studies in the model of RSV-Streptococcus pneumoniae superinfection showed that the HK39 and HK40 treatments were capable of reducing lung damage, lung bacterial cell counts, and the dissemination of S. pneumoniae into the blood of infant mice. The protective effect was associated with increases in IFN-β, IFN-γ, IL-10, and IL-27 in the respiratory tract. This study demonstrates that the nasal application of the post-immunobiotics HK39 and HK40 stimulates innate respiratory immunity and enhances the defences against primary RSV infection and secondary pneumococcal pneumonia offering an alternative to combat respiratory superinfections in children, which can be fatal.
Construction and evaluation of an AI system for tracking cricket behavior under conditions of bright and dark lighting

Since 2013, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations published a publication that embraced the opportunity to use insect for food and feed, to raise the profile of insects and further promoting diversity of diet, sustainable practices, and food security, insect production has attracted attention as a potential food source, and advanced methods have been developed. Among insects, crickets are of particular interest because they are omnivorous and easy to mass produce. Ultimately, we aim to build a system in Japan that can mass-produce crickets using food waste. For this purpose, a cricket feeding system that utilises food loss is needed to support the development and commercialisation of new insect foods along with renewable energy and smart production methods to reduce labour requirements. To improve productivity and develop smart production, we should understand the ecology of crickets (focusing on their behaviour in terms of diet and water consumption) with the premise of mass production. However, relatively few studies have considered these factors in detail. We consider that this information could enable considerable improvement in the productivity of cricket production systems. Therefore, in this study, we constructed an Artificial Intelligent system designed to capture ecological information on crickets using a You Only Look Once version 5 model for mass production. The proposed system is relatively inexpensive, has high recognition accuracy and real-time performance, can be configured for different lighting conditions, and can recognise crickets even under dark conditions. The results show that this system can be implemented on prototype smart cricket farms and can be integrated with mass production systems. It is robust to bright and dark conditions with high accuracy and real-time framerates, with mAP values of 0.903 and 0.921 and framerates of 20.20 and 20.96 frames, respectively.
Insects as a complete nutritional source
Authors: Oonincx D.G.A.B. , Finke M.D.
Published: May 2023

For most animals insects are used as part of a diet, but strict insectivores only consume insects and other invertebrates. For them, all nutrients need to be available in suitable proportions to prevent nutritional deficiencies. Common deficiencies pertain to the vitamins A and D, and the mineral calcium. Moreover, concentrations of taurine, thiamine, vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids are seemingly lower in most cultured insects than in wild insects. Mitigation strategies to prevent deficiencies are described, and future studies to further tailor insect composition towards nutrient requirements are suggested.
Etre catalan ou/et républicain dans la communauté catalane émigrée en France au XXe siècle
Authors: Pigenet Phryné
Published: May 2023

Les Catalans installés en France dans le premier quart du XXe siècle, peu nombreux, mais concentrés dans un grand sud-ouest, issus de migrations du travail et d’exils politiques successifs, oscillent entre un républicanisme espagnol et un catalanisme culturel. Le complot Macianiste de Prats de Mollo (1926) précipite la construction d’une identité à la fois républicaine et catalane qui se manifeste dans le soutien apporté au camp républicain pendant la guerre d’Espagne. L’entrée en France de dizaines de milliers de Catalans républicains, après la victoire franquiste, pérennise une identité originale qui sans cesser d’être républicaine doit également affirmer sa catalanité face à la double répression du régime franquiste, sans se laisser absorber par le creuset français. Au travers de l’étude des associations, actives jusqu’au dernier tiers du siècle, on peut suivre l’évolution de cette identité coincée entre fidélité aux idéaux républicains et catalans et adaptation à la société d’accueil.
