This study aims to determine agent quality, simultaneous effect and effective contribution and relative contribution, the significance of the independent variables and multiple regression linearity. The research variables consist of Independent variables and matters of financial information needs, the urgency of financial information and the use of financial information. The results of this study concluded that the quality of agents is still lacking. Simultaneously the magnitude of the influence of the need for financial information, the urgency of financial information and the use of financial information has an effect of 65.3% but the magnitude of the influence is due to the magnitude of the influence of the very dominant information needs of 56% while the urgency of financial information only has an effect of 8.1% and the use financial information by 1.2%. Significant test shows that only information needs have a significant effect on asymmetric financial information while the urgency of financial information needs and the use of financial information is above the significant tolerance limit of 5%. Multiple linearity illustrates that the insurance agent performs asymmetric financial information of 2.212 without the need for basic financial information, the urgency of the main financial information and without using financial information.

Authors:   Food Technology, University of Ciputra Surabaya, Indonesia, Sri Widari Nyoman
Published: December 2022

In order to increase the effectiveness of the clean production program in the small carbide welding workshop industry, it is necessary to make efforts to reduce the existence of the waste produced because it pollutes the soil, water and air environment. To minimize the presence of waste, research was carried out by utilizing solid carbide welding waste as a raw material for making gypsum (CaSO4) which is widely used for industrial needs. The implementation is by reacting the waste with various concentrations of H2SO4 solution by adjusting the reaction time and reaction temperature. The results of the initial analysis of carbide welding workshop solid waste in the form of Ca(OH)2 slurry contained relatively high levels of CaO, namely 71.58%. From the results of the research that has been done, it can be concluded that the largest conversion value of 34.98% was obtained by using 12N H2SO4 with a reaction temperature of 50oC and a reaction time of 40 minutes.

The authors note that cholelithiasis, according to epidemiological indicators, occupies one of the leading places in the structure of the incidence of the abdominal organs. At the same time, cholecystectomy (CE) from the mini–access is not considered an alternative to laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCE) and is an independent method. It is also noted that mini–access CE has a number of advantages and preferences compared to laparoscopic access. Compared to LCE, the incidence of postoperative complications after CE from the mini–access is significantly lower and amounts to 1.9%–4.9%. The percentage of postoperative mortality is approximately the same and ranges from 0.8–1.2%, but it should be borne in mind that CE from the mini–access is most often performed in patients with complicated forms of cholelithiasis. Along with LCE, who routinely use CE from a mini–access, its use is undeservedly limited by many surgeons due to lack of experience.

Dünyanın en hızlı gelişen endüstrilerinin başında gelen turizm endüstrisinde, turistik tercihler genel olarak kitle turizm faaliyetleri ekseninde şekillenmektedir. Kitle turizmi, genellikle deniz kum güneş gibi çok tercih edilen tatil türlerinin, kıyı şeridi destinasyonlarında, kısıtlı bir tarih aralığında, yoğun bir turist talebine maruz kalmasıyla gerçekleşen turizm faaliyetleridir. Kitle turizm talebini karşılayan destinasyonlar genellikle yoğun talep görmeleri sebebiyle taşıma kapasitelerinin üzerinde hizmet vermekte, kıt kaynaklarını hızla tüketmektedir. Ayrıca kitle turizm hareketlerinin sınırlı bölgelerde ve imkânlarda sıkışması bölgeler arası gelişme ve kalkınmada eşitsizliklere sebep olmaktadır. Bu aşındırıcı etkilerin önüne geçerek destinasyonların ve turizm faaliyetlerinin sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması için kitle turizm hareketlerine alternatif turizm türlerinin geliştirilmesi fikri ortaya çıkmıştır. Kırsal turizm, kent yaşamının dışında kalan alanlarda gerçekleştirilen geniş faaliyet alanlarına sahip bir turizm türüdür. Bu çalışma Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde yer alan Erzincan ilinin küçük bir ilçesi olan, doğal güzellikleri ve ekstrem sporlara elverişliliği ile tanınan, Kemaliye’nin (Eğin) kırsal turizm faaliyetleri ekseninde incelenmesini amaçlamıştır.

Published: December 2022

In this work, neodymium (Nd3+) doped strontium hexaferrite was obtained using the sol–gel based Pechini method. The cation distribution was modified by doping with different amounts of Nd3+ ions when 0.0 ? x ? 0.4 according to the chemical expression Sr1-xNdxFe12O19 the powders were sintered at 1100 °C for 1 h. The influence of the neodymium was analyzed, and the magnetic and structural properties have been associated with the fabrication method. The crystalline phases, structure, and particle morphology of the samples were determined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. In addition, the magnetic properties were measured at room temperature using a vibrating sample magnetometer with an applied field of up to 20 kOe. Moreover, magnetization and coercivity values are influenced by the neodymium content. The results showed that the Pechini sol-gel method allows a limited solubility of the Nd3+ ions on the hexaferrite structure.

The Multifactorial Etiology of Myopia
Authors: Kohanim Samuel , Boelman Bradley
Published: December 2022

Myopia, more commonly known as nearsightedness, affects an enormous percentage of the adolescent population, but its causes are not extremely well quantified. While it has been established that myopia is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, this study aimed to look at both factors together and determine which has the greater influence on myopia, or if they are both equally significant. This study addressed this through a mixed-method correlational design, which included a primary questionnaire as well as secondary interviews, both of which were based on the works of Huang et al. and also Wang and Bi. A total of 122 responses were collected and used, and regarding biological factors, there was a moderate-strong correlation between the presence of myopia in a family and the presence of myopia in an individual (r (122) = .65, p < .001). In environmental factors, there was a moderate-weak correlation between near-work and myopia (r(1122) = .23, p = .04). The results indicated that biological factors play a larger role in the development of myopia than environmental factors do. These conclusions indicate that, when attempting to predict myopia in an individual, the presence of it in one’s family is more important than the time they spend performing near-work activities.
Deep Neural Network Classifier for Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Lin Jason , Lee Hayan , Snyder Michael
Published: December 2022

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by dementia and, eventually, a loss of cognitive abilities. Two histopathological features are associated with AD, neurofibrillary tangles, and amyloid-beta plaque. Both contribute to neuron cell death, neuron dysfunction, and AD pathogenesis. Current methods to diagnose AD remain reliant on symptomatic diagnosis with interviews that can be time-consuming, costly, and inaccurate. Alternative methods such as brain imaging are expensive and require extensive laboratory setup for accurate results. Thus molecular-level quantitative approaches are necessary. Omics datasets and machine learning technology advancements have opened new avenues to diagnose AD. This paper proposes using statistical methods such as principal component analysis, t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding, and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test combined with Benjamini-Hochberg correction through feature selection and dimensionality reduction to isolate significant features associated with AD. Furthermore, we developed machine learning models based on logistic regression, random forest classifier, and deep neural network (DNN) classifier to predict AD diagnosis. Eight unique genes (TGM2, NKIRAS1, SYK, GABARAPL2, ABCC12, NDEL1, TEP1) were identified as significant biomarkers of AD and confirmed previous works identifying prognoses' roles in AD. After extensive hyperparameter tuning, the DNN model showed the best prediction performance for AD diagnosis among the three machine learning algorithms. The DNN model and preprocessed dataset demonstrated a 5-fold cross-validation accuracy of 0.823 and AUC-ROC of 0.940. Its code is publicly available at https://www.kaggle.com/neobrando/ml-dnn.
Does the U.S. Federal Reserve Consider the Credit Cycle Theory When Trying to Predict Recession?
Authors: Heaton Tommy , Schmitz Niklas
Published: December 2022

The credit cycle theory states that credit build-ups and their subsequent crashes are the common cause of recessions. If true, this theory could be used to both predict and prevent future recessions. However, it is unclear if policymakers do in fact take the theory into account when crafting monetary policy. Using the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) as a case study, this paper seeks to answer if policymakers consider the credit cycle theory when attempting to predict recessions and determine optimal monetary policy. This paper analyzes Federal Open Market Committee minutes from meetings prior to four previous recessions: the Savings and Loan Crisis, the Dot-Com Bubble, the Great Recession, and the Covid Recession. The results indicate that the Fed did not begin to consider the credit cycle theory when implementing monetary policy until after the Great Recession. Credit was not addressed prior to the Savings and Loan Crisis and was only substantially mentioned on the eve of the Dot-Com Bubble and the Great Recession. This indicates that instead of continually discussing credit, the Fed was only concerned with credit when it began to tighten. While it did mention credit build-up, especially before the Great Recession, the Fed did not adjust its monetary policy accordingly. Instead, it primarily adjusted policy to manage inflation. However, after the Great Recession, the Fed began adhering more closely to the credit cycle theory both in terms of what was discussed in each meeting, as it consistently discussed credit, and how it implemented monetary policy.

Excipients act as protective agents, bulking agents and can also be used to improve bioavailability of drugs in some instances; the following review discusses the various types of excipients along with their uses. The objective of this paper is to indicate the ingredients that possess health effect that can be found in cosmetics and personal care products. The related paper was reviewed in terms of the chemicals that commonly identified in the cosmetic and personal care product. This paper also highlighted the health risk possesses by such ingredients in the products. As we know that dosage form is a combination of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and excipients therefore it is clear that any pharmaceutical dosage forms cannot be formulated without the use of excipients. Excipients are the major part of formulation. They do not show any adverse effect but promotes the therapeutic activity of pharmaceutical product. Synthetic excipients have some toxic properties so the uses of natural excipients are coming in the picture. This review shows the uses of natural excipients in modern time and in medicinal sciences.

Authors: Sabli Nordin , Zakaria Norzarina
Published: December 2022

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel beads as an immobilized biofilm carrier to enhance the reduction rate of Ammonia-Nitrogen (NH3-N) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) in domestic wastewater. Laboratory scale reactors were developed to assess the reduction levels of ammonia-nitrogen and COD with and without PVA gel beads using optimal and non-optimal treatment mode settings based on operation procedures from the sewage treatment plant in Taman Kajang Utama, Selangor. The treatment method used is an activated sludge sequencing batch reactor with a treatment cycle duration of 288 minutes. The findings showed the ammonia-nitrogen reduction by non-optimal treatment mode is more effective, with a reduced rate of 62.96% to 65.71% compared to optimal treatment mode with a reduced rate of 30.94% and treatment without PVA gel beads (optimal and non-optimal) with a reduced rate of 32.41% to 47.85%. The ammonia-nitrogen reduction rate using PVA gel beads for non-optimal treatment mode was significantly increased from 17.86% to 18.82% and complied with ammonia-nitrogen reduction parameter 10mg/L, Standard A of Environmental Quality (Sewage) Regulations 2009 (EQSR 2009). The rate of COD reduction using the non-optimal treatment mode was also more stable, with a reduced rate of 70.68%. It was also found that the COD reduction rate using PVA gel beads for the non-optimal mode was better than the optimal mode, which was 70.68% compared to 42.0%, and both treatment modes complied with COD reduction parameters 120mg/L, Standard A of EQSR 2009.

This review discusses the increasing potential of chitosan nanocomposites as viable materials capable of targeting these debilitating factors. This review focuses on various techniques used to process chitosan nanocomposites and their mechanical properties. Chitosan nanocomposites are regarded as highly effective antimicrobials for the treatment of chronic wounds. Chitosan nanocomposites, such as chitosan/polyethylene and oxide/silica/ciprofloxacin, demonstrate efficient antibacterial activity and exhibit no cytotoxicity against Human Foreskin Fibroblast Cell Lines (HFF2). Other studies have also showcased the capacity of chitosan nanocomposites to accelerate and improve tissue regeneration through increment in the number of fibroblast cells and angiogenesis and reduction of the inflammation phase. The layer-by-layer technique has benefits, ensuring its suitability in preparing chitosan nanocomposites for drug delivery and wound dressing applications. While the co-precipitation route requires a cross-linker to achieve stability during processing, the solution-casting route can produce stable chitosan nanocomposites without a cross-linker. By using the solution casting method, fillers such as multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and halloysite nanotubes (HTs) can be uniformly distributed in the chitosan, leading to improved mechanical properties. The antibacterial effects can be achieved with the introduction of AgNPs or ZnO. With the increasing understanding of the biological mechanisms that control these diseases, there is an influx in the introduction of novel materials into the mainstream wound care market.

Published: December 2022

Medical professionals need help finding tumours in the ground truth image of the brain because the tumours’ location, contrast, intensity, size, and shape vary between images because of different acquisition methods, modalities, and the patient’s age. The medical examiner has difficulty manually separating a tumour from other parts of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) image. Many semi- and fully automated brain tumour detection systems have been written about in the literature, and they keep improving. The segmentation literature has seen several transformations throughout the years. An in-depth examination of these methods will be the focus of this investigation. We look at the most recent soft computing technologies used in MRI brain analysis through several review papers. This study looks at Self-Organising maps (SOM) with K-means and the kernel Fuzzy c-means (KFCM) method for segmenting them. The suggested SOM networks were first compared to K-means analysis in an experiment based on datasets with well-known cluster solutions. Later, the SOM is combined with KFCM, reducing time complexity and producing more accurate results than other methods. Experiments show that skewed data improves networks’ performance with more SOMs. Finally, performance measures in real-time datasets are analysed using machine learning approaches. The results show that the proposed algorithm has good sensitivity and better accuracy than k-means and other state-of-art methods.
