The technologies will directly impact the doctor-patient relationship. The health area will receive the help of new technologies such as: robotics, artificial intelligence, augmented reality and tele consultation. These technologies may cause resistance to treatment by patients, if they are not fully aware of how the technology will be applied in their medical treatment. The present study aims to apply a questionnaire with specific questions, to participants attended by the public health network (SUS), as well as by the private health network (private clinics), aiming to obtain information about their acceptance regarding medical care / treatment performed by new technologies, whether these procedures will cause a psychological shock to the point of triggering a judicial claim for compensation for alleged medical error. Another objective is to find out if, if a medical / psychological (biopsychosocial) reception is initially carried out, as well as if the previous presentation of the technology to the patient through a psychopedagogical work, demonstrating the benefits and improvements provided, if the patient will feel more confident with medical treatment using new technologies. The results will be obtained through a descriptive, cross-sectional and qualitative study carried out at the Base Hospital of São José do Rio Preto / SP, and in private clinics of medical specialties in the specialties of radiology, cardiology and ophthalmology of São José do Rio Preto / SP, in the second half of 2019 and the first half of 2020.

Credit Risk Management and Efficiency of Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies: A Review of Literature
Authors: Aduda Josiah , Obondy Stephen
Published: November 2020

The objective of this paper was to conduct literature review on how credit risk management impacts efficiency and to identify the knowledge gaps in the relationship between the two variables. This study will help the government in policy direction as far as growing the financial sector as a precursor to credit risk management and its contribution to growth in terms of improved savings, improved per capita income, improved credit to private sector and increased employment levels both directly and indirectly. From the empirical studies reviewed, credit risk management was found to influence financial performance but there is no concrete evidence on the relation that credit risk management has with efficiency of SACCOs. The previous studies have mostly focused on financial performance instead of efficiency and they also differ on the direction of the relationship between the two variables. The difference in findings among the scholars might arise from methodological differences and operationalization of the study variables. Contextual differences might also explain the inconsistent findings as most of the studies have focused on commercial banks and in different economies. Future studies should investigate underlying variables that can explain the relationship between credit risk management and efficiency of SACCOs.

Published: November 2020

Experimental data on the kinetics of drying of raw brewer’s grains from the Maykop brewery for two temperature regimes of 60°C and 55°C are presented. The dry matter content is 12,7%. The drying agent speed is 4,5 m/s. The purpose is to determine the content of free and attached moisture in brewer’s grains obtained as a waste in the production of beer using classical technology. Analysis of the drying curves and drying rate curves has shown that free moisture is removed when the moisture content changes from the initial 687,4% to 360%; with a further decrease in the moisture content, the attached moisture is removed. A moisture content of 360% is assumed to be at the interface between the first and second drying periods. The average free moisture content is 47%, that of the attached one is 53%. A significant amount of the attached moisture indicates insufficient destruction of the cellular structure of the material.

Published: November 2020

Low grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC) accounts for 10% of ovarian cancer cases and is characterised
by an early age of onset and an indolent disease course. In contrast to high grade serous ovarian cancer
(HGSOC), LGSOC is relatively resistant to cytotoxic chemotherapy and so aggressive surgery is preferred,
especially at first presentation. Bevacizumab is effective in advanced ovarian cancer, and several singleinstitution studies have reported activity in patients with recurrent LGSOC. Bevacizumab is contraindicated
in patients with extensive malignant bowel involvement due to the risk of perforation, which can be fatal.
We present two patients with advanced LGSOC and extensive bowel serosal disease who safely received
combination chemotherapy and bevacizumab in the first line setting and demonstrate that surgery was
specifically facilitated by the bevacizumab component of this regimen.

Authors:   South Kazakhstan State Pedagogical University, Baidybekova Erke
Published: November 2020

The relationship of the individual and the general in the actualization of cognitive activity of students is considered. Single, special and universal are not knowledge isolated from each other, but represent various aspects of the general, the whole. Moreover, the general - the whole should not be perceived without the unit, as the unit is inconceivable without connection with the general. Given all this, a methodology has been developed for updating the cognitive activity of students to an active perception of the material studied, which boils down to the implementation of analytical and synthetic cognitive operations. The methodological implementation of it in each individual case depends on many other components: the difficulty of the posing problem, its relationship with other provisions, its characteristic features, the preparedness of the class to solve complex issues in this way, the teacher’s ability to carry out this cognitive process in each individual case. Examples of the developed methodology in the classroom, confronts students with problematic issues, for the solution of which they are trying to apply actions that contribute to the disclosure of the content of the problem, are looking for ways to implement it, which in turn actualizes their cognitive activity

Eggplant fruits are highly perishable as they have a short shelf life after harvesting. To prolong the shelf life of perishable goods, application of edible coatings has been utilized. Edible coatings have been used in various agricultural commodities to preserve their quality and prolong their postharvest life. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different polysaccharide-based edible coatings on the physico-chemical, biochemical, and physiological properties of eggplant fruits. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design with nine (9) treatments and three (3) replications. Four (4) edible coatings were evaluated at two different concentrations. Sodium alginate (AL), pectin (PE), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and cornstarch (CS) were tested at 1 and 2% concentrations. On days 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12, samples were taken for the physicochemical, biochemical, and physiological analysis. The results of the study showed that the application of polysaccharide-based edible coatings significantly reduced weight loss and shriveling It also maintained firmness and VQR, prolonged shelf life, enhanced pH, TSS, TA, preserved vitamin C content, maintained moisture and dry matter content, and reduced respiration and microbial count of eggplant without significantly affecting ethylene production. The different coatings (alginate, pectin, carboxymethyl cellulose, and cornstarch) significantly maintained the quality of eggplants for eight (8) days compared to the control. Among the different coatings tested, alginate showed the best result in maintaining the quality of eggplant fruit. It significantly reduced weight loss, shriveling, and microbial count, and preserved vitamin C content. Therefore, edible coatings, especially alginate, are effective in maintaining eggplant quality during postharvest storage.

Minimizing Link Utilization in Selfish Overlay Routing
Authors: Shyry S. Prayla , Ramachandran V.
Published: November 2020

The rapid growth and increasing requirements for service quality, reliability had made everyone to choose the traffic engineering essential for the large public networks. The multi Protocol label switching is a protocol used when there is interaction between the traffic engineering and the overlay networks. This MultiProtocol Labeled Switching (MPLS) with the help of the nash equilibrium algorithm has given optimized performance better by reducing the latency and increasing the link utilization. But increase in link utilization will gradually increase the congestion in the network as the link is being used by all the nodes. So, to overcome this specific problem we have performed a formulation called dual programming formulation which has set of constraints that have to be satisfied, along with Open Shortest Path First(OSPF) protocol so as to reduce the maximum link utilization. We have simulated the results in five queuing models which includes BPR,PD1,PM1,MM1,MD1 using source, compliant, optimal overlay routing. The results are simulated using Ns2 with linux as platform.Link utilization is reduced based on the parameters such as traffic demands and the distance between the nodes with their respective demands.

An Improvement in Stability of MANET using Flow Admission Control Algorithm
Authors: Panda Mohit Ranjan , Mishra Manas Ranjan
Published: November 2020

An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any centralized administration or standard support services. However flows transported across mobile ad hoc wireless networks suffer from route breakups caused by nodal mobility. In a network that aims to support critical interactive real-time data transactions, to provide for the uninterrupted execution of a transaction, or for the rapid transport of a high value file, it is essential to identify stable routes across which such transactions are transported. Noting that route failures can induce long re-routing delays that may be highly interruptive for many applications and message/stream transactions, it is beneficial to configure the routing scheme to send a flow across a route whose lifetime is longer, with sufficiently high probability, than the estimated duration of the activity that it is selected to carry. We evaluate the ability of a mobile ad hoc wireless network to distribute flows across routes which is sufficiently stable for successful transmission. As a special case, for certain applications only transactions that are completed without being prematurely interrupted may convey data to their intended users that is of acceptable utility. We describe the mathematical calculation of a network’s stable throughput measure, as well as its stable throughput capacity. We proposed the stable throughput and flow admission control routing algorithm (SFAR) to provide for the timely and stable transport of flow transactions across mobile ad hoc wireless network systems.

Cybercrime Regulation through Laws and Strategies: a Glimpse into the Indian Experience
Authors: Nagarathna Annappa
Published: November 2020

Cybercrimes in India is increasing at an alarming rate. Though various legal provisions under the conventional criminal laws including form the Indian Penal Code, could be used to regulate the cybercrimes, yet the changing nature of these crimes necessitated adoption of a new law framework. Thus, the Indian Information Technology Act was enacted in 2000 but seldom could regulate cybercrimes since it focused on promoting and facilitating e-commerce and e-governance. This Act underwent amendment in 2008 to accommodate provisions essential to regulate cybercrimes as well as protect data and privacy on cyber space. In addition to the law, other strategies were designed and adopted to better regulate cyber offences including announcing cyber security policies, constituting institutions to take care of certain concerns including those relating to critical infrastructure information, etc. This paper aims to provide an overview of the approach adopted in India primarily the legal approach adopted to regulate cybercrimes. Additionally, other strategies adopted by India is also reviewed in brief. Despite these, since cybercrimes are technical as well as dynamic in nature, there is a need to constantly review and revise nation’s strategies, which is also one of the objects of this paper.

HTTCS: Hybridization Technique for Test Case Selection
Authors: LAWANNA Adtha
Published: November 2020

One problem found within the process of software maintenance is that the size of the selected test cases is large. This causes the ability of the whole process of software-development life cycle to drop. Particularly, it may be time consuming and cause delays, and the cost may be expensive. The selection of test cases for software maintenance depends more on the criticality of fixing bugs than the criticality of avoiding programming errors. Therefore, selection methods are proposed, such as test-all, random, and regression selection. This includes Technique for Test Case Selection (TTCS) and the improvement of Test Case Selection (TCS). These techniques can provide better results, in particular, giving smaller sizes, reduction rates, and % problem-solving than traditional techniques. However, this paper proposes a new model, which is a combination of using the process of determining an appropriate number of selected test cases regarding TTCS, and TCS with testing-based selection, named the Hybridization Technique for Test Case Selection (HTTCS). Obviously, HTTCS can reduce the size of the selected test cases by about 96.86 - 98.83 %, which is better than TTCS and TCS, by about 0.29 - 16.51 %. Additionally, using HTTCS can increase the % problem-solving by up to 99.98 %, is which higher than others about at most 0.66 %.
Cholinesterase-inhibiting Potential and Anti-BACE1 Activities of Edible Leaves of Selected Thai Local Plants
Authors: SUTTISANSANEE Uthaiwan , KRUAWAN Kalyarat
Published: November 2020

Alzhiemer’s disease (AD) is common amongst the elderly and is associated with decline in brain functions in terms of memory and cognitive loss. The causes of the disease may occur through loss of presynaptic markers of cholinergic system and deposition of amyloid fibrils in the brain. Cholinesterases (ChEs) including acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) are the key enzymes controlling degradation of neurotransmitters, acetylcholines (AChs), in cholinergic hypothesis. Whereas overproduction of b-secretase (BACE1) can generate insoluble b-amyloid peptides. Thus, retardation on enzyme reactions can lead to potential AD prevention. The aim of this research was to investigate in vitro anti-AD activity through key enzymes inhibitions from Thai local plants with edible sour leaves, including Garcinia cowa Roxb., Spondias pinnata (Linn.f.) Kurz, Syzygium gratum (Wight) S.N. Mitra., Tamarind indica L. and Cratoxylum formosum (Jack) Dyer. Leaves were extracted in organic solvents with different polarity index values (ethanol and hexane). As results, all plants possessed different degrees of anti-ChEs activity, in which ethanolic extracts of Spondias pinnata and Tamarind indica exhibited significantly higher ChEs inhibitory activities than Syzygium gratum, Garcinia cowa and Cratoxylum formosum, respectively. Interestingly, most hexane extracts exhibited higher anti-AChE activities than ethanol extracts, while the contrary results were observed in anti-BChE activity. Besides, only Cratoxylum formosum, Garcinia cowa and Tamarind indica extracts possessed anti-BACE1 activity. The information received from this study would be great support of future drug development or nutraceutical agents against AD occurrence regarding its cholinergic and b-amyloid formation hypotheses.

Oxidative stress and inflammation are 2 major contributors to numerous life-threatening disorders, including vascular pathologies. Shallots (Allium ascalonicum) are a type of red onion which grows in Southeast Asia. Bulbs of this plant are used both as a food ingredient and in traditional medicine. This study attempted to investigate the possible ways that juice extracted from Thai shallot (A.ascalonicum cv. Chiangmai) bulbs could be used in the prevention of cardiovascular complications. The antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of shallot juice extract (SHE) on human vascular endothelial cells (EA.hy926) were investigated. Cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay, membrane lipid peroxidation by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances assay, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by the fluorescent probe 6-carboxy-2'-7'-dichlorofluoresceine, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) released by ELISA. The shallot juice showed extremely low cytotoxicity against EA.hy926 cells, with IC50 of 41.9 and 27.3 mg/ml for 24 h- and 48 h-incubation, respectively. SHE reduced the iron-induced malondialdehyde production in a dose-dependent manner. The extract also demonstrated antioxidant activity as shown by a significant reduction of H2O2-induced ROS production at a low concentration (< 200 mg/ml). Furthermore, SHE significantly attenuated the level of IL-6 released during lipopolysaccharide stimulation (p < 0.05). It is of interest that the juice extracted from Thai shallot bulbs demonstrated both cellular antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in endothelial cell models, combined with a reduction in toxicity. Shallot extract could be considered as a nutraceutical for the prevention or management of vascular diseases as it is related to oxidative stress and inflammation.

O presente artigo tem por objetivo identificar os fatores que influenciam o front end da inovação em organizações públicas, utilizando como metodologia uma revisão integrativa de literatura, correlacionando os dados encontrados com o framework para inovação no setor público da Organização para a Cooperação e o Desenvolvimento Econômico. Como resultados, temos que o front end da inovação no setor público é iterativo, não seguindo uma etapa ordenada, representando um fator de influência. Também, são fatores especialmente influentes no front end o contexto (incluindo mudanças de regras e de previsões orçamentárias), local de realização do processo, características das pessoas envolvidas, intermediação, e usos futuros da inovação.

Este artigo busca verificar a relevância na implementação do Planejamento Estratégico (PE) a Cultura Organizacional (CO) nas Universidades, ao investigar as produções científicas na última década (Scholar Google, Web Science e EBSCO) e entrevistar gestores de Universidade Públicas do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. Trata-se de pesquisa de natureza básica, de objetivos descritivos e explicativos, de abordagem qualitativa com procedimentos bibliográficos, documentais e de entrevistas caracterizando um estudo de caso. Apesar da escassez de artigos, observa-se a relevância crescente do tema no cenário de mudanças que os gestores enfrentam nas Universidades. Após as entrevistas com três ex-reitores, observa-se que a adoção do PE requer adaptações em simbiose com a Cultura Organizacional. O Planejamento Estratégico aderente à Cultura Organizacional deve atender às expectativas internas e externas e à perspectiva mesodeterminística.

A inovação em um território ocorre por meio de diversos fatores e forças institucionais, que fomentam uma determinada região por meio da convergência de empresas, universidades e governo. Uma das formas de convergência desses atores são os ecossistemas de inovação, os quais surgem e desenvolvem-se por meio da formulação de políticas públicas, as quais podem ser desenvolvidas com base em evidências científicas. Neste estudo, essas evidências foram estabelecidas por meio de uma árvore de regressão, aplicada aos dados sobre criação de tecnologias produzidas por professores permanentes de Programas de Pós-Graduação (PPG) do Estado do Paraná. Os resultados demonstram que uma árvore de decisão pode ser uma ferramenta que representa o conhecimento de um montante complexto de dados, apoiando assim á gestão pública baseada em evidências e a formulação de estratégias que fomentam a inovação em territórios.

Em muitas empresas, reduzir os custos de fabricação para otimizar os lucros é uma estratégia comum usada para competir no mercado, sempre procurando reduzir os custos de fabricação e aumentar os lucros de ano para ano.No entanto, olhar para a otimização de custos não é mais eficaz à medida que novos concorrentes surgem no mercado que fornecem mais valor aos clientes. As empresas também devem competir impulsionando a inovação em produtos e serviços para se manterem competitivas no mercado. Para gerenciar e avaliar com eficácia o desempenho de um pipeline de inovação, ele deve ser medido, o que se torna difícil devido à falta de abordagens padronizadas.As seguintes três dimensões da FEI são investigadas neste artigo:• Modelos• Métricas• Linguagem comum

The research was developed from 2018 with the aim of generating a model that sustainably facilitates the linking and management of knowledge in the university. A bibliographic review on successful linkage models was carried out to contrast with the experiences in the UTP, in addition, a survey was applied to consult the main actors involved in the linkage and knowledge management system. From the analysis of the surveys, the model was designed to manage the knowledge generated in the Faculty of Computer Systems Engineering (FISC) with the potential that the implementation can be replicated in other faculties. The model allows visualizing the opportunities generated by knowledge management not only for students, but also for the Faculty, the UTP, the State and Society.
