Background: Rheumatic heart disease still become a major concern in developing countries. Recent studies showed the benefits of early phase II cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on improving the exercise capacity but the evidence in patients after rheumatic mitral valve surgery due to rheumatic heart disease is limited. This study aims to investigate the effects of early phase II CR program on increasing exercise capacity in the rheumatic mitral valve surgery patients.

Methods: This is a cohort retrospective study. A review of medical records identified 254 patients who underwent early phase II CR after rheumatic mitral valve  surgery between July 2009 – June 2019. Effects of CR was assessed by 6 Minutes Walking Distance (6MWD) pre and post early phase II CR and peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak) calculated by Cahallin formula. In this study, we observed and analyzed the increasing of 6MWD and VO2 peak.

Results: Our findings showed that 6MWD and VO2 peak increased significantly in these patients after early phase II CR program (p = 0.001). Mean of 6MWD increased from 316.3 ± 71.7 meters to 378.6 ± 60.3 meters and VO2 peak increased from 7.7 ±2.4 mL/kg/min to 8.9 ± 2.2 mL/kg/min. The mean difference of 6MWD was 62.3 meters and VO2 peak was 1.2 mL/kg/min. There was a strong correlation between VO2 peak and 6MWD (r = 71%; R2 = 51%; p = 0.001).

Conclusion: Early phase II CR in patients with Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis after mitral valve surgery improved the exercise capacity. Based on 6MWD, we can predict the value of VO2 peak patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis surgery patients.

ABSTRACTThe limited ability of teachers to manage instructional media using technology apparently also happened to teachers in Magetan District. Based on surveys and interviews with the Head of education, youth and sport department Magetan District, the problem of the low use of technology in learning was also experienced by teachers in Magetan District. Especially for high school teachers in Magetan Regency. One of the things that can be use by the world of education, especially teachers in implementing the learning process, is by using google classroom application as a media for online classroom learning. This application is still rarely even unknown to most teachers in Indonesia. The overall output shows the majority of teachers as participants have opened online classes (60.87%) and the remaining 39.13% only made a few meetings but did not run. The obstacle is the low motivation and consistency of the teachers in running online classes. The implementation of community service activities has been going well and smoothly. The results of the implementation of these activities all stages of the implementation of activities run as planned.Â Keywords: google classroom, teacher, online classÂ ABSTRAKTerbatasnya kemampuan guru dalam mengatur media pembelajaran dengan teknologi ternyata terjadi juga pada guru-guru di kabupaten Magetan.

Authors: Дакі О.А. , Дорошева А.О. , Іваненко В.М. , Чебан В.І.
Published: November 2020

В статті розглянуто моделі та методи побудови системи підтримки прийняття рішення безпеки судноводіння з використанням мультиагентних систем, що відповідає сучасному напрямку розвитку інтелектуальних інформаційних технологій – побудови агентоорієнтованих систем. Визначено, що система безпеки судноводіння  є ієрархічною слабоформалізуємою системою, яка є результатом взаємодії часто суперечних один одному по цілям функціонування елементів, і має множину неявних прямих і зворотних зв'язків. Для роботи в таких умовах проєктуєма система підтримки прийняття рішень повинна містити ряд інформаційних баз знань: нормативну, експертну і прецедентну. Відмічено, що реалізація процесу забезпечення безпеки судноводіння представляє собою складну задачу кооперативної неантагоністичної взаємодії з розподіленим прийняттям рішень, для якої критично важливим стає забезпечення координації такої взаємодії в умовах цілеспрямованої поведінки учасників, що намагаються забезпечити безпеку руху. Рішення даного завдання може бути реалізоване з використанням принципів траєкторно-цільового підходу до прогнозування руху суден у рамках спільного управління інтелектуальними логіко-динамічними об'єктами. Сутність даного підходу складається у формуванні прогнозних траєкторій руху суден виходячи з заданих цільових позицій, а також критеріїв і зон безпеки руху. Кожне судно представляється у виді взаємодіючого логіко-динамічного об'єкта, що володіє цілеспрямованою поведінкою і реалізує траєкторію свого руху виходячи з принципів безпеки в умовах виконання вимог МППСС-72. Для моделювання даних процесів доцільно використовувати агентноорієнтований підхід. Кожен агент (як інформаційна сутність) буде представляти судно, а система взаємодії агентів стане основою для формування правил системи підтримки прийняття рішення безпеки судноводіння. Використання запропонованого підходу побудови структури інтелектуального судна “А”- типу на принципах BDІ дозволяє побудувати гнучку систему прийняття рішень, за допомогою якої може бути вироблене “краще рішення” попередження зіткнення суден, що задовольняє всі судна на всіх рівнях проектованої системи підтримки прийняття рішення безпеки судноводіння.

Muscovy and the Tatars
Authors: Rakhimzianov Bulat R.
Published: November 2020

This article explores relations between Muscovy and the so-called Later Golden Horde successor states that existed during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries on the territory of Desht-i Qipchaq (the Qipchaq Steppe, a part of the East European steppe bounded roughly by the Oskol and Tobol rivers, the steppe-forest line, and the Caspian and Aral Seas). As a part of, and later a successor to, the Juchid ulus (also known as the Golden Horde), Muscovy adopted a number of its political and social institutions. The most crucial events in the almost six-century-long history of relations between Muscovy and the Tatars (13–18th centuries) were the Mongol invasion of the Northern, Eastern and parts of the Southern Rus’ principalities between 1237 and 1241, and the Muscovite annexation of the Kazan and Astrakhan khanates between 1552 and 1556. According to the model proposed here, the Tatars began as the dominant partner in these mutual relations; however, from the beginning of the seventeenth century this role was gradually inverted. Indicators of a change in the relationship between the Muscovite grand principality and the Golden Horde can be found in the diplomatic contacts between Muscovy and the Tatar khanates. The main goal of the article is to reveal the changing position of Muscovy within the system of the Later Golden Horde successor states. An additional goal is to revisit the role of the Tatar khanates in the political history of Central Eurasia in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
Ordinal Approaches to Decomposing Between-Group Test Score Disparities
Authors: Quinn David M. , Ho Andrew D.
Published: November 2020

The estimation of test score “gaps” and gap trends plays an important role in monitoring educational inequality. Researchers decompose gaps and gap changes into within- and between-school portions to generate evidence on the role schools play in shaping these inequalities. However, existing decomposition methods assume an equal-interval test scale and are a poor fit to coarsened data such as proficiency categories. This leaves many potential data sources ill-suited for decomposition applications. We develop two decomposition approaches that overcome these limitations: an extension of V, an ordinal gap statistic, and an extension of ordered probit models. Simulations show V decompositions have negligible bias with small within-school samples. Ordered probit decompositions have negligible bias with large within-school samples but more serious bias with small within-school samples. More broadly, our methods enable analysts to (1) decompose the difference between two groups on any ordinal outcome into portions within- and between some third categorical variable and (2) estimate scale-invariant between-group differences that adjust for a categorical covariate.

Instagram: Visual Social Media Cultures Book Review
Authors: Stuart Kate
Published: November 2020

Starting life under the name of Burbn as a check-in app to help users share details of the best bourbon locations in 2010, Instagram has risen to become one of the world’s top social media platforms (Leaver, Highfield & Abidin 2020, 9), synonymous with selfies, self-representation, and all things aesthetic. Instagram: Visual Social Media Cultures by Tama Leaver, Tim Highfield, and Crystal Abidin is the first book length exploration of the popular platform, exploring how its evolution has influenced the cultures and communities that live there. The authors argue that Instagram is “a conduit for communication” where “the visual focus is particularly important in the success and relevance of the platform” (2020, 1). In exploring how the app has been shaped by and shaped the behaviour of its users across its history, Leaver, Highfield, and Abidin demonstrate the importance of Instagram as a form of visual social media and a platform for human connection.
Cultural code on the example of servants in the Russian Empire in the post-reform period
Authors: Zhukova Anastasia , Semenov Aleksey , Semenova Olga
Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to national, religious, mental and cultural particularities in the field of labor recruitment of servants. Conditionally, the article can be divided into two semantic parts: 1) manifestation of national features in the servant’s work; 2) the impact of reforms and laws on the relationship between the employer and employee. As the examples the authors chose Russians, Estonians and Finns (Chukhonts), Latvians, Tatars, Jews, Poles and the peoples of the Caucasus. The task was to show the characteristics and colorful features of the servants of these representatives. After all, the specificity of the work of some national groups was unstated, and its originality had only traditional character. At the same time, Jews had their own rules of interaction in the field of servants’ hiring. The examples given in this article clearly illustrate the importance of taking into account the national, religious and cultural practices of peoples for the implementation of mutually beneficial cooperation between employers and workers.
A new approach for the solutions of the fractional generalized Casson fluid model described by Caputo fractional operator
Authors: SENE Ndolane
Published: November 2020

The fractional Casson fluid model has been considered in this paper in the context of the Goodman boundary conditions. A new approach for getting the solutions of the Casson fluid models have been proposed. There is the Double integral method and the Heat balance integral method. These two methods constitute the integral balance method. In these methods, the exponent of the approximate solutions is an open main problem, but this issue is intuitively solved by using the so-called matching method. The graphical representations of the solutions of the fractional Casson fluid model support the main results that have been presented. In our investigations, the Caputo derivative has been used.

The Hedgehog transcription factor GLI3 is differentially expressed in the tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets HER2, is utilized for the treatment of breast cancer (1). While the mechanism of action of trastuzumab function in breast cancer is ascribed to trastuzumab binding to the extracellular region of HER2 (2), the transcriptional consequences that follow this binding event are less well understood. We report here, using analysis of published microarray and gene expression data (3, 4), that the transcription factor GLI3 (5) is differentially expressed in the tumors of patients with breast cancer treated with trastuzumab.
Towards Metaphors for Cascading AI
Authors: Oppenlaender J. , Benjamin Jesse Josua
Published: November 2020

In the future, more and more systems will be powered by AI. This may exacerbate existing blind spots in explainability research, such as focusing on outputs of an individual AI pipeline as opposed to a holistic and integrative view on the system dynamics of data, algorithms, stakeholders, context and their respective interactions. AI systems will increasingly rely on patterns and models of other AI systems. This will likely introduce a major shift in the desiderata of interpretability, explainability and transparency. In this world of Cascading AI (CAI), AI systems will use the output of other AI systems as their inputs. The typical formulations of desiderata for explaining AI decision-making, such as post-hoc interpretability or model-agnostic explanations, may simply not hold in a world of cascading AI.In this paper, we propose two metaphors which may help designers to frame their efforts when designing Cascading AI systems.
The tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab express significantly increased quantities of CD34.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Trastuzumab (Herceptin) is a monoclonal antibody targeting the extracellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (1) utilized for the treatment of adjuvant and metastatic breast cancer (2) in the United States and worldwide. We mined published and public microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) to discover in an unbiased manner the most striking transcriptional features of trastuzumab treatment. We found that the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab express significantly higher levels of CD34 than do those of patients not treated with trastuzumab. CD34 is a differentially expressed gene that distinguishes breast cancer from the normal breast (5), and these data demonstrate that trastuzumab enhances, not reverses, a marker of the breast tumor.
A serial mediation model of attentional engagement with thin bodies on body dissatisfaction: The role of appearance comparisons and rumination
Authors: Dondzilo Laura , Basanovic Julian , Grafton Ben , Bell Jason , Turnbull Georgia , MacLeod Colin
Published: November 2020

The present study examined the associations among biased attentional responding to thin-ideal bodies, appearance comparisons, eating disorder-specific rumination, and body dissatisfaction. Sixty-seven females completed an attentional task capable of independently assessing biased attentional engagement with, and biased attentional disengagement from, images of thin-ideal bodies relative to images of non-thin bodies. Self-report measures of the other relevant constructs were also taken. Results revealed that a heightened tendency to engage in appearance comparisons was predicted by increased attentional engagement with thin-ideal bodies but not by impaired attentional disengagement from thin-ideal bodies. Moreover, a serial mediation analysis revealed that increased attentional engagement with thin-ideal bodies was associated with greater appearance comparison, which in turn was associated with greater eating disorder-specific rumination and consequently greater body dissatisfaction. The current findings suggest that increased attentional engagement with thin-ideal bodies might represent a pathway to body dissatisfaction, mediated by greater appearance comparison and eating-disorder specific rumination.
Investigation of Confinement Effects for Determining Moment Curvature and Interaction Diagram of Reinforced Concrete Column
Authors: Bhusal Bikram , Paudel Satish , Katuwal Tek Bahadur
Published: November 2020

This paper presents the relevance of using various material models to represent the inherent material non-linearity of the cross-section in generating moment curvature relationship. Further, confinement effects are imposed on geometry and P-M diagram is constructed of typical cross-section of column adopted in Nepal. Also, the modelling capability and user defined modelling aspects in terms of section, material behavior is assessed and suitability of modelling criteria to depict the actual displacement capacity is studied. It was observed the ultimate curvature of the un-confined concrete section considered was obtained approximately to be 0.16 per m while for studied confined material models the curvature was obtained approximately to be 0.66 per m. This increase in curvature is due to the confinement effect of the lateral ties. It was observed that the loss of strength of concrete in cover is compensated by use of the confinement since gain in axial and bending capacity of the confined concrete in comparison to unconfined one in compression control region. Hence, it is suggested to adopt the confined material model as user-defined for generating hinge property for non-linear analysis of the structures.
Users’ Satisfaction with Domestic Water Supply in Nepal – A Study in Lekhnath Small Town Water Supply and Sanitation Project
Authors: Timilsena Narayan
Published: November 2020

Water Supply and Sanitation has been a priority of Government of Nepal. Various types of urban and rural water supply and sanitation projects are now being implemented within the Government, private and NGO sectors. The normal practice of measurement of satisfaction by service providers is to measure consumers’ satisfaction on past performance. The survey design could vary from survey questions to unstructured interviews and everything in between using comparative and non-comparative scales. In comparative scaling, the respondents are asked to compare one product against the other while non-comparative scaling is used to evaluate a single product. In this study, Likert Scales is used in this study for measurement of customer satisfaction on water supply. The higher level of satisfaction with water supply is expected to be positively related to several factors such as satisfaction with water quality, and other parameters such as hours and timings of water supply, tap pressure, quantity of water supplied, responsiveness and communication of management and water tariff. The respondents’ level of satisfaction indicates that about 41 percent of respondents were neutral, they were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with water services, while about 36 percent of respondents were satisfied with water services. The satisfaction scale of overall satisfaction with water services was 3.29 while 1.0 indicates strongly not satisfied while 5.0 indicate strongly satisfied. The various aspects that influence satisfaction among users which include hours and timings of water supply, tap pressure, quantity of water supplied, responsiveness and communication of management and water tariff as well as redresses of customer complaints have been examined. This study focused on the users’ satisfaction of Lekhnath small town water supply and sanitation project and the study was undertaken to analyze the current users’ satisfaction of the Lekhnath small town water supply and sanitation project. The result showed that the satisfaction level of users’ is above neutral but these were not in satisfying level. The characteristics/aspects of the service that contributed to users’ satisfaction including hours and timing, pressure, quantity and quality of water while there was slightly less satisfaction with regard to complaints about water supply.
Dry sliding wear behaviour of sub-zero processed Cr–V ledeburitic steel Vanadis 6 against three counterpart types
Authors: Yarasu Venu , Janka Leo , Jurčia Peter
Published: November 2020

The effect of sub-zero treatments on dry sliding wear performance of Vanadis 6 tool steel was investigated by pin-ondisc tests against three counterpart types: alumina, 100Cr6 ball bearing steel, and CuSn6 bronze. The microstructure of the examined steel consists of tempered martensitic matrix with very small amounts of retained austenite, and three carbide types. Sub-zero treatments increase the carbides count. The hardness of the steel increases with increasing the austenitizing temperature but slightly decreases with the application of sub-zero treatments. Sub-zero treatments affect the wear performance of the Vanadis 6 steel when tempered at the secondary hardening peak as follows: almost no effect of this kind of treatment was detected when alumina was used as a counterpart but moderate amelioration was recorded when either 100Cr6 steel or CuSn6 bronze was used in the sliding couple. This behaviour is attributed to the combined effect of hardness variations and changes in population density of carbides, due to application of sub-zero treatment.
Forgotten Double J Ureteral Stent for 10 years: A Case Report with Review of Literature
Authors: Aboutaleb Hamdy , Aboutaleb Hamdy
Published: November 2020

Background: Ureteral stents are a crucial part of urologic surgeries. Complications of Double J stenting
(DJS) include migration, fragmentation, and encrustation. In addition, forgotten stents with encrustations
and stone formations are difficult to remove.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a stent “forgotten” for 10 years, which migrated downward into
the proximal ureter, concomitant with multiple ureteral stones and bladder calculus. Whole encrustation of
the stent was observed. The “forgotten” stent was positioned 10 years ago during right ureteral stone
treatment in the Philippines. In the end, the patient underwent laser cystolithotripsy, stone elimination,
ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy and stent removal. The final X-ray post-intervention revealed the absence of
any stone fragment or residual DJS fragment.
Conclusion: We report the longest period of forgotten DJS with maximum stone burden in the urinary
system. To avoid this situation, patients should be educated regarding complications if the stent is not
removed within a short period. Moreover, a computerized registry of stent placement can be used to alert
the urologist when the stent ought to be removed.

Modificar práticas docentes é um processo complexo considerando a natureza desta atividade profissional que envolve muito mais do que técnicas para ser efetivada. Porém, apesar desta complexidade, mudanças tornam-se essenciais à medida que a sociedade se transforma pelo desenvolvimento científico, cultural, tecnológico. As transformações que ocorrem na sociedade afetam os processos de ensino e aprendizagem e consequentemente exigem mudanças nas práticas docentes. Um dos elementos que impulsiona essa transformação é o desenvolvimento tecnológico. As Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e da Comunicação (TDIC) estão cada vez mais presentes no cotidiano dos estudantes e trazem impactos importantes sobre as formas e ensinar e aprender, exigindo mudanças nas práticas docentes. Neste contexto, no ano de 2017 realizamos uma pesquisa tendo como objetivo investigar as concepções dos professores sobre o uso da TDIC tendo como questão norteadora “Como as TDIC estão sendo consideradas pelos professores em suas práticas docentes?” Para coleta dos dados propusemos a 19 professores, de 5 instituições de ensino, que respondessem a um questionário misto com perguntas fechadas e abertas. Considerando as análises identifica-se que há interesse por parte dos docentes em implementar em suas práticas o uso das TDIC, pois entendem, em sua maioria, as transformações que a nova forma de aprender e, por conseguinte de ensinar requerem, entretanto, muitos continuam reféns do velho modelo de ensino por não disporem de formação continuada e principalmente, infraestrutura adequada para o implemento das TDIC.

The most pronounced increase is in the incidence of viral infections. Strong correlation exists between rotavirus infection and diseases of the liver, pancreas, intestines; between norovirus infection and diseases of the liver, pancreas; enterovirus infection and pancreatic disease; as well as hepatitis A and gallbladder diseases. Patients suffering from chronic non-infectious diseases of the digestive system, with a reliably high chance, often suffer from acute intestinal infections, rotavirus infection, hepatitis A, and are also better aware of their etiology than those who do not have such diseases.

Conclusion. Prevention of infectious diseases of the digestive system will reduce the incidence of noncommunicable diseases associated with them.
Herpes zoster: Epidemiological Features of the Incidence in 2019
Authors: Kaira A. N. , Lavrov V. F.
Published: November 2020

The urgency of the problem of herpes zoster (shingles) consists in its wide distribution in the world, high incidence rates in a significant part of the subjects of the Russian Federation, as well as the severity of complications caused by this infection.

The aimof the study was to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the incidence of herpes zoster in Russia.

Materials and methods. Epidemiological analysis of the incidence of herpes zoster in the Russian Federation was conducted using official statistics.

Results and discussion. In 2019, in a number of administrative divisions of the Russian Federation, there was a poor epidemic situation associated with the incidence of herpes zoster. In some regions, the incidence rates were significantly higher than the national average, and the elderly were the most vulnerable. It turned out that the existing methods of prevention of herpes zoster, aimed mainly at promoting a healthy lifestyle and hygienic education of the population, do not bring the desired results, and the incidence of herpes zoster (secondary VZV infection) remains high.

Conclusions. The analysis of the incidence of herpes zoster during the reporting period demonstrates the need for constant statistical accounting of the spread of this infection on the territory of Russia, actualizes the conduct of full-fledged epidemiological surveillance and the organization of a system of preventive measures, which should be based on the development, production and practical application of a domestic vaccine against herpes zoster.

It is important to consider the nutritional status of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) since it is a key element in the ability to overcome and survive critical illnesses and clinical outcomes. The aim of the present study was to provide a meta-analysis and systematic overview in determining the nutritional status of patients in ICU by examining other studies. All studies published during 2015-2019 on nutritional status in ICU were retrieved from Medline (via PubMed), Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Finally, 23 articles were included in the meta-analysis. Results obtained from these studies showed that the nutritional status of patients in ICU was inappropriate (the pooled proportion of malnutrition was 0.51 in the type of study stratified), in which many patients in this unit had different degrees of malnutrition (moderate-mild malnourished and severe malnutrition is 0.46 and 20%, respectively). According to the results of this study, the nutritional status of patients in ICU was unsatisfactory; hence, it is necessary to consider the nutritional status along with other therapeutic measures at the beginning of the patient’s admission.[GMJ.2020;9:e1678]

Analog rice is artificial rice product made from non rice raw material which contain nutrients and looks like padi rice. This research using raw material such as umbi ganyong as source of carbohydrates and red bean to improve the nutritional value and appearance of analog rice.  The purpose of this research was to study the concentration effect offered bean flour added into on rice analog made from umbi ganyong (ganyong root) toward water content, raw fiber, protein, and hedonic. The treatments applied were T0 for 0% concentration, T1 for 5% concentration, T2 for 10% concentration, and T3 for 15% concentration. The observed variables were water content, protein, crude fiber, and preference level. The result of the study showed that the addition of red bean flour with various concentrations reveals the difference(p<0,05) in rising water content, crude fiber, protein, and improving taste, texture, and rice analog fluffiness. The outcome of the research point out that the recommendation of red bean flour added into analog rice was at 15% which were resulting in water content 7,76±0,152%, crude fiber of 3,01±0,68%, and protein 7,41±0,038%,

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most frequent metabolic diseases that affect various body systems. Cognitive impairment caused by diabetes is gaining more acceptance and attention. In this study, we have investigated the effects of a traditionally herbal formulation (THF) on oxidative stress (OS) and cognitive deficits in type 2 diabetic rats. Methods: Thirty-six male Wistar rats were divided into six groups: control group, diabetic group, diabetic+100, 200 or 300mg/kg THF, diabetic+glibenclamide (G) 5mg/kg. Streptozotocin-nicotinamide was used to induce type-II diabetes mellitus. Spatial and passive avoidance learning and memory function were evaluated by Morris Water Maze (MWM), novel object recognition test (NORT) and open field test (OFT). The OS biomarkers were also analyzed. The THF was standardized using RP-HPLC according to phenolic and flavonoids compounds. Results: Indicated that in the diabetic treated (300mg/kg THF and G) vs. diabetic groups, body weight and insulin were significantly increased and the levels of fasting blood glucose significantly reduced. OS was improved in the treated (300mg/kg THF) groups. Furthermore, we noticed that diabetic treated groups (300mg/kg THF) vs. diabetes caused in significant decreases of the travelled distance and escape latency to find the hidden platform, also increased in the time spent and travelled distance in the target quadrant in MWM test, exploration time in NORT and total distance moved in OFT. Conclusion: These findings suggest that THF ameliorated learning and memory deficits in type 2 diabetic rats via reducing OS. THF can be used with a caution against human DM.
