Authors: Helmy Helina , Kamaluddin Muhammad Totong , Iskandar Iskhaq , Suheryanto
Published: August 2022

Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly infectious disease, representing one of the major causes of death worldwide. Sustainable Development Goal 3.3 implies a serious decrease in the incidence of TB cases. Hence, this study applied a spatial analysis approach to investigate patterns of pulmonary TB cases and its drivers in Bandar Lampung (Indonesia). Our study examined seven variables: the growth rate of pulmonary TB, population, distance to the city center, industrial area, green open space, built area, and slum area using geographically weighted Poisson regression (GWPR). The GWPR model demonstrated excellent results with an R2 and adjusted R2 of 0.96 and 0.94, respectively. In this case, the growth rate of pulmonary TB and population were statistically significant variables. Spatial pattern analysis of sub-districts revealed that those of Panjang and Kedaton were driven by high pulmonary TB growth rate and population, whereas that of Sukabumi was driven by the accumulation of high levels of industrial area, built area, and slums. For these reasons, we suggest that local policymakers implement a variety of infectious disease prevention and control strategies based on the spatial variation of pulmonary TB rate and its influencing factors in each sub-district.

Patients with CKD on RRT are at high risk for severe disease and mortality in COVID-19 disease. We decided to conduct an observational prospective study to evaluate antibody response after vaccination for COVID-19 in a cohort of 210 adult patients on RRT (148 on HD; 20 on PD; and 42 kidney transplant recipients). Blood samples were taken before and 4 weeks after vaccination. Antibody levels were evaluated with CLIA immunoassay testing for IgG anti-trimeric spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. A positive antibody titer was present in 89.9% of HD patients, 90% of PD patients, and 52.4% of kidney transplant recipients. Non-responders were more frequent among patients on immunosuppressive therapy. Mycophenolate use in kidney transplant patients was associated with lower antibody response. The median antibody titer was 626 (228–1480) BAU/mL; higher in younger patients and those previously exposed to the virus and lower in HD patients with neoplasms and/or on immunosuppressive therapy. Only two patients developed COVID-19 in the observation period: they both had mild disease and antibody titers lower than 1000 BAU/mL. Our data show a valid response to COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in HD and PD patients and a reduced response in kidney transplant recipients. Mycophenolate was the most relevant factor associated with low response.

Published: August 2022

Dengue is a disease caused by the dengue virus that is primarily transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Currently, the disease poses a threat to public health, with about 390 million people reported to be infected annually across the endemic regions of the world. In Nigeria, the disease is under-reported and often misdiagnosed as malaria. This study was designed to conduct a serological and molecular survey for dengue virus infection in febrile patients in three Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Adamawa State, Nigeria, from September through December 2020. Serum samples from 424 patients were analysed by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (CALBIOTECH, Dengue Virus IgM ELISA). Thick and thin smear microscopic techniques were used to determine the presence of malaria parasites. Overall, 19.4% patients were sero-positive for dengue in the three study locations. A total of 11%, 14.5% and 12.3% participants were found to be co-infected with dengue and malaria in Mubi, Jimeta and Numan, respectively. The CDC DENV1-4 RT-PCR Assay reagent was used for serotype-specific detection and identification of circulating serotypes. From the ELISA-positive samples, 11 (2.6%) cases were confirmed to be dengue serotype 1 by Real-Time PCR and sequencing and were found to be in circulation in all the three study areas. With an overall sero-prevalence of 19.4%, dengue virus infection may be one of the major causes of febrile illnesses across the study locations; hence, public healthcare professionals should not neglect other aetiologies of febrile illnesses and the need to conduct laboratory diagnoses to determine the possible causes of febrile illnesses.

Published: August 2022

The aim of the study was to examine the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on the anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor binding domain IgG antibody (SRBD IgG) binding ratio (SBR) from Alpha, Beta, and Gamma variants of SARS-CoV-2 in pregnant women and neonates. The impact of antenatal influenza (flu) and pertussis (Tdap) vaccines was also studied. We enrolled pregnant women vaccinated with the Moderna (mRNA-1273) vaccine during pregnancy and collected maternal plasma (MP) and neonatal cord blood (CB) during delivery to determine the SBR via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). A total of 78 samples were collected from 39 pregnant women. The SBR was higher for Alpha variants compared to Beta/Gamma variants (MP: 63.95% vs. 47.91% vs. 43.48%, p = 0.0001; CB: 72.14% vs. 56.78% vs. 53.66%, p = 0.006). Pregnant women receiving two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine demonstrated a better SBR against SARS-CoV-2 Alpha, Beta, and Gamma variants than women receiving just a single dose. Women who received the Tdap/flu vaccines demonstrated a better SBR when two COVID-19 vaccine doses were < 6 weeks apart. A better SBR was detected among women who had more recently received their second COVID-19 vaccine dose. Two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine provided recipients with a better SBR for Alpha/Beta/Gamma variants. Although Tdap/flu vaccines may affect the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine, different vaccination timings can improve the SBR.

(1) Background: The monkeypox virus (MPV) is a double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the Poxviridae family, Chordopoxvirinae subfamily, and Orthopoxvirus genus. It was called monkeypox because it was first discovered in monkeys, in a Danish laboratory, in 1958. However, the actual reservoir for MPV is still unknown. (2) Methods and Results: We have reviewed the existing literature on the options for Monkeypox virus. There are three available vaccines for orthopoxviruses—ACAM2000, JYNNEOS, and LC16—with the first being a replicating vaccine and the latter being non- or minimally replicating. (3) Conclusions: Smallpox vaccinations previously provided coincidental immunity to MPV. ACAM2000 (a live-attenuated replicating vaccine) and JYNNEOS (a live-attenuated, nonreplicating vaccine) are two US FDA-approved vaccines that can prevent monkeypox. However, ACAM2000 may cause serious side effects, including cardiac problems, whereas JYNNEOS is associated with fewer complications. The recent outbreaks across the globe have once again highlighted the need for constant monitoring and the development of novel prophylactic and therapeutic modalities. Based on available data, there is still a need to develop an effective and safe new generation of vaccines specific for monkeypox that are killed or developed into a mRNA vaccine before monkeypox is declared a pandemic.
Associations between Public Fear of COVID-19 and Number of COVID-19 Vaccinations: A County-Level Longitudinal Analysis
Authors: Gao Jingjing , Guo Yuqi , Ademu Lilian
Published: August 2022

Background and Purpose: A large number of COVID-19 infections and deaths and the ensuing socioeconomic problems created widespread public fear around COVID-19. Fear around COVID-19 greatly influences people’s attitudes towards receiving the COVID-19 vaccines. The purpose of this study is examining (a) the impact of the public fear of COVID-19 (PFC) on the number of COVID-19 vaccinations at the county level; (b) the interaction effect between the PFC and per capita income, unemployment rates, and COVID-19 vaccines incentive policies, on the number of COVID-19 vaccinations at the county level. Method: This is a longitudinal analysis across states in the U.S. by using county-level data of 2856 counties from 1 February to 1 July. Random-effects models were adopted to analyze the associations between the PFC and the number of COVID-19 vaccinations. Result: the PFC was positively associated with the number of COVID-19 vaccinations at county-level, as PFC increases from 0 to 300, the predicted vaccination number increases from 10,000 to 230,000. However, the associations were divergent when the PFC interacts with county-level per capita income, unemployment rates, and incentive policies. Conclusion: public fear is an important indicator for the county-level vaccination numbers of COVID-19. However, it is critical to consider public fear and socioeconomic factors when making policies that aim to increase COVID-19 vaccination rates.
Deep Machine Learning for Acoustic Inspection of Metallic Medium
Authors: Jarreau Brittney , Yoshida Sanichiro , Laprime Emily
Published: August 2022

Acoustic non-destructive testing is widely used to detect signs of damage. However, an experienced technician is typically responsible for interpreting the result, and often the evaluation varies depending on the technician’s opinion. The evaluation is especially challenging when the acoustic signal is analyzed in the near field as Fresnel range diffraction complicates the data. In this study, we propose a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm to detect anomalies bearing in mind its future application to micro-scale specimens such as biomedical materials. Data are generated by emitting a continuous sound wave at a single frequency through a metal specimen with a sub-millimeter anomaly and collecting the transmitted signal at several lateral locations on the opposite side (the observation plane) of the specimen. The distance between the anomaly and the observation plane falls in the quasi Fresnel diffraction regime. The use of transmitted signals is essential to evaluate the phase shift due to the anomaly, which contains information about the substance in the anomaly. We have developed a seven-layered CNN to analyze the acoustic signal in the frequency domain. The CNN takes spectrograms representing the change in the amplitude and phase of the Fourier transform over the lateral position on the observation plane as input and classifies the anomaly into nine classes in association with the lateral location of the anomaly relative to the probing signal and the material of the anomaly. The CNN performed excellently demonstrating the validation accuracy as high as 99.9%. This result clearly demonstrates CNN’s ability to extract features in the input signal that are undetectable to humans.

Published: August 2022

Amid growing concerns about climate change, electricity-powered transportation systems stand out as an opportunity to help in reducing fuel consumption. Electric vehicles (EVs) would connect to the grid using clean, renewable electricity; however, the interconnection between EVs and the grid brings about new challenges for traditional power systems. Plug-in hybrid EVs and plug-in EVs have started to become more prevalent in the system; therefore, their impacts and benefits are also of concern. Among these concerns is the detailed analysis of the impact that EVs may have on short-circuit levels in microgrid protection schemes. In this context, the main contribution of this paper is a detailed evaluation of the impact of EVs on the short-circuit levels and protection coordination schemes in microgrids. For this purpose, a methodology was proposed to measure the impact of EVs on the protection coordination schemes in microgrids using different evaluation indices. The proposed approach was validated on a benchmark IEC microgrid considering different operative scenarios that envisage several levels of EVs penetration. The results evidenced the applicability of the proposed approach and allows to conclude that the incorporation of EVs in microgids impacts the performance of the protection schemes, specifically with respect to short-circuit levels.
Integration of a Chassis Servo-Dynamometer and Simulation to Increase Energy Consumption Accuracy in Vehicles Emulating Road Routes
Authors: Arango Ivan , Escobar Daniel
Published: August 2022

Electric vehicles, particularly those in mass transit systems, make use of accurate power estimations for different routes to calculate powertrain and battery requirements and plan the location and times of charging stations. Hence, chassis dynamometers are a common tool for vehicle designers as they allow for the emulation of vehicle performance and energy consumption by simulating realistic road conditions. In this paper, a method is presented where inertia events and negative slopes can be represented in the dynamometer through a single motor; allowing researchers to perform fast and cheap tests, while also considering the effect of these variables. A dynamic simulation is used to distribute the energy used in three ways: first, accelerating the vehicle by overcoming the forces opposing motion; second, emulating the kinetic energy delivered by the vehicle mass when decelerating; and third, emulating the energy delivered to the vehicle by negative slopes. Tests were carried out on a dynamometer validating the method through an example route, estimating energy consumption and regeneration; this method reduces the error in energy consumption by inertial effects and negative slopes, otherwise not considered in one motor dynamometers, showing a 9.11% difference between total test energy and real bus energy for this route.

В статье рассмотрены биохимические показатели крови в период адаптации и продуктивное долголетие крупного рогатого скота монбельярдcкой и джерсейской пород, завезенных из-за границы и используемых для промышленной технологии производства молока. Определено, что практически все биохимические показатели крови маточного поголовья соответствуют физиологической норме, за исключением общих липидов, уровень которых был ниже на 1,08—1,4 г/л. У нетелей породы монбельярд отмечено незначительное превышение физиологической нормы таких показателей, как мочевина, АсАТ и АлАТ. У джерсейской породы тоже наблюдалось несущественное превышение физиологических норм АсАТ у нетелей и АлАТ у коров. Наивысшей молочной продуктивностью обладали коровы породы монбельярд. Отмечены значительный рост продуктивности с 1 по 4 лактации и впоследствии плавное ее снижение. Особи джерсейской породы наивысшей молочной продуктивностью отмечались в 1 лактацию — 8024 кг молока, а в дальнейшем происходило снижение производства молока к 7 лактации до 4283 кг. Они же имели больший показатель молочного жира и белка на 100 кг живой массы и высокую скороспелость. По продуктивному долголетию преобладание было у коров породы монбельярд.

The article examines the biochemical parameters of blood during the adaptation period and the productive longevity of cattle of the Montbeliard and Jersey breeds imported from abroad and used for industrial milk production technology. It was determined that almost all biochemical blood parameters of the uterine livestock correspond to the physiological norm, with the exception of total lipids, the level of which was lower by 1.08 1.4 g/l. Heifers of the Montbeliard breed have a slight excess of the physiological norm of such indicators as urea, AsAT and AlAT. The Jersey breed also had an insignificant excess of physiological norms of AsAT in heifers and AlAT in cows. The highest milk productivity was possessed by cows of the Montbeliard breed. There was a significant increase in productivity from 1 to 4 lactation and subsequently a gradual decrease. Individuals of the Jersey breed with the highest milk productivity were noted in 1 lactation — 8024 kg of milk, and later there was a decrease in milk production by 7 lactation to 4283 kg. They also had a higher indicator of milk fat and protein per 100 kg of live weight and high precocity. In terms of productive longevity, the predominance was among Montbeliard cows.
ANALISIS PENGARUH ARUS EKSITASI TERHADAP DAYA REAKTIF GENERATOR SINKRON UNIT 3 PLTA UBRUG
Authors: Putra Setya Aria , Santoso Dian Budhi
Published: August 2022

Generator sinkron membutuhkan suatu medan magnet sebagai penguat agar dapat menghasilkan tegangan listrik. Medan magnet tersebut dapat diperoleh dari arus eksitasi yang dibangkitkan oleh exciter. Arus eksitasi tersebut mengalir pada kumparan medan yang terdapat pada rotor, sehingga rotor itu dapat menghasilkan medan magnet. Kemudian, konduktor akan memotong garis-garis gaya magnet dan menghasilkan Gaya Gerak Listrik (GGL) sehingga menghasilkan tegangan [1]. Saat arus eksitasi diatur di bawah nilai nominal, maka fluks magnet yang terdapat pada stator akan menurun, sehingga tegangan yang dihasilkan oleh generator juga ikut turun. Perubahan pada eksitasi menjadi penyabab tegangan dan daya reaktif yang dihasilkan generator mempunyai nilai batas tertinggi dan batas terendah. Perubahan besarnya arus eksitasi juga mempengaruhi variasi nilai beban pada besarnya daya reaktif. Pengaturan input pada generator sinkron adalah pengaturan yang dilakukan input arus medan dan frekuensi, input arus medan digunakan untuk mengatur besarnya nilai keluaran daya reaktif dan tegangan yang dihasilkan oleh generator. Berdasarkan data akhir dari hasil perhitungan daya reaktif dapat dilihat bahwa nilai faktor daya yang diperoleh minimum sebesar 0,94 dengan arus eksitasi pada rotor sebesar 314 A dan daya reaktif sebesar 3,1 MVAR, sehingga dapat simpulkan bahwa besar nilai daya reaktif yang dihasilkan oleh generator berbanding lurus dengan arus eksitasi yang diberikan.

In this paper, results of $\omega$-order preserving partial contraction mapping generating a quasilinear equation of evolution were presented. In general, the study of quasilinear initial value problems is quite complicated. For the sake of simplicity we restricted this study to the mild solution of the initial value problem of a quasilinear equation of evolution. We show that if the problem has a unique mild solution $v\in C([0,T]: X)$ for every given $u\in C([0,T]:X)$, then it defines a mapping $u\to v=F(u)$ of $C([0,T]:X)$ into itself. We also show that under the suitable condition, there exists always a $T',\ 0<T'\leq T$ such that the restriction of the mapping $F$ to $C([0,T']:X)$ is a contraction which maps some ball of $C([0,t']:X)$ into itself by proving the existence of a local mild solution of the initial value problem.
Mechanizmy instalowania władzy i administracji komunistycznej na przykładzie działalności Juliana Grobelnego jako starosty mińskiego (10 października – 5 grudnia 1944 r.)
Authors: SITKIEWICZ Damian
Published: August 2022

This paper addresses the problem of the mechanism of formation of Polish communist authorities in 1944. For that purpose the author used the example of Julian Grobelny, the first governor in the district of Minsk Mazowiecki after the arrival of the Red Army in the areas of the region, a politician and socialist activist, who during World War II, against the policies conducted by the party of which he was a member (PPS-WRN) [PSP- FEI], engaged in the construction of political alliances with activists and fighters of PSL, RPPS and PPR [Polish Workers' Party], opting for an alliance with the Soviet Union by fighting alongside the Red Army. Consistent selection of J. Grobelny during the German occupation influenced the career of the activist who through underground contacts with activists coming from this environment associated with the People’s Army and the left side of PPS, supporting KRN and PRWN - RPPS. After the expulsion of the Germans from the right-bank part of the Warsaw province, he was appointed as governor in the district of Minsk Mazowiecki. When conducting this function, he made decisions about looting mansions, and, de facto, he was a predecessor in taking over and securing the property of landlords. On the basis of the decisions issued by J. Grobelny, officials enforced the confiscation of the property at least in five mansions, leading to the statisation of paintings and furniture created between the seventeenth and nineteenth century. J. Grobelny, during the war the President of the “Żegota” Council for Aid to Jews, awarded with the Medal of the Righteous Among the Nations, after the end of hostilities, took part in the liquidation of the landed gentry, acting to the detriment of his own nation.

Authors: Haloho Oktarihni , Solikhun Solikhun
Published: August 2022

Melinjo is an annual plant with open seeds. Tree-shaped and has two houses called dioecious or there are males and females. Melinjo is often found in dry and tropical areas. Indonesia can be one that produces melinjo as a trade product in large quantities. Melinjo is collected and shipped natural products after 5-6 long time after sowing of seeds. In West Sumatra, it is detailed that each year produces 20,000 to 25,000 natural melinjo products and the seed generation reaches 80 to 100 kg per tree per year. Therefore, it is important to know every need for melinjo by anticipating the number of generations of Melinjo using a Manufacturing Artificial Neural System with Backpropagation strategy. With the neural structure made, it will be easier to carry out this investigation. Where the machine learning method can help to find the best performance value and value from the simple data studied. The Matlab2011b application has a feature that helps to calculate the best performance and value with the help of the Conjugate Gradient algorithm. After testing using 5 samples, namely: 4-10-1, 4-15-1, 4-20-1,4-25-1, 4-30-1.

Mushrooms are heterotrophic living things that act as saprophytes on dead plants. Mushrooms contain many important substances such as protein, amino acids, lysine, histidine, etc. Mushrooms tend to be better consumed than animal meat, even the content of lysine and histidine contained in mushrooms is greater than eggs. In recent years the volume of Mushroom Demand has increased, while production has decreased, especially on the island of Sumatra, namely in 2020 and 2021. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the estimated production of mushroom plants on the island of Sumatra so that the government on the island of Sumatra has clear data references to determine policies and make the right steps so that the production of mushroom plants on the island of Sumatra does not continue to decline. The method used in predicting is one of the ANN methods, namely the Conjugate Gradient Algorithm. The data used in this paper is Vegetable Crop Production data from 2014-2021 which was obtained from the website of the Central Statistics Agency. Based on this data, network architecture models such as 3-10-1, 3-15-1, 3-20-1, 3-25-1, 3-30-1, will be formed and defined. From the five models, training and testing values were obtained which showed that the most optimal architectural model was 3-10-1 with a Performance/MSE test value of 0.00055034. This value is the smallest of the 5 architectural models after the training and testing process. From this it can be concluded that this model can be applied to predict mushroom production on the island of Sumatra

Health service through Prolanis (Program Pengelolaan Penyakit Kronis or Chronic Disease Management Program in English) is a management program for health maintenance in order to achieve an optimal quality of life. One of the targets of prolanis is patients with hypertension. Hypertension can cause the blockage of uric acid crystals in blood vessels so that kidney function is disrupted. As a result, there is an increase in uric acid levels. Based on a preliminary study conducted on March 14, 2022, at Puskesmas Klirong II, it was found that 23 prolanis patients had complaints of joint pain, while 38 of them had hypertension. This research aimed to find out whether there is a correlation between uric acid levels and the incidence of hypertension in prolanis patients at Puskesmas Klirong II. The population was 50 people with a sample of 37 people. The sample was obtained by employing random sampling. This was an Analytical Observational research with a Cross-Sectional research design. The uric acid levels were checked with the Urikase-PAP photometer method. This research was conducted in May 2022. The results showed that 4 respondents had normal uric acid levels and normal blood pressure. On the other hand, there were 12 respondents who had normal uric acid levels and high blood pressure. Meanwhile, the other 21 respondents had high uric acid levels and high blood pressure. The results of the Fisher's Exact Test statistical test obtained a p-value = 0.028 <0.05. It was concluded that there was a correlation between uric acid levels (photometer method) and the incidence of hypertension in prolanis patients at Puskesmas Klirong II, Kabupaten Kebumen.
