Authors: Krylova Tammy , Budd Tim , Nicod Jerome , Beale Rupert , Caidan Simon
Published: May 2020

Purpose of examination / Clinical relevance At the end of 2019, several pneumonia cases were reported in Wuhan, China and the pathogen was confirmed as a new viral strain. World Health organization has named the newly identified coronavirus as 2019-nCoV, also known as SARS-Cov-2. The disease developed into a dangerous pandemic, posing major challenges to the NHS. Although more research is necessary to better understand the virus, in response to the emergency, simple and rapid testing is essential to identify the virus in infected individuals. This will aid the implementation of efficient interventions to contain the spread, and distinguish healthcare workers who have been infected, and are required to self-isolate, from those showing similar symptoms but which are not 2019-nCoV associated. The latter category may continue to work, alleviating stress on hard-pressed healthcare resources. 2019-nCoV is an RNA virus, and the diagnostic tests detect viral RNA in swabs from patient airways using a reverse transcriptase PCR assay. Samples are submitted to HSL, an accredited reporting laboratory, and transferred to the Crick for testing. The first step of the process is sample receipt at the Crick. This SOP describes the inactivation of the virus.

A Hybrid Framework for Matching Printing Design Files to Product Photos
Authors: KAPLAN Alper , AKAGUNDUZ Erdem
Published: May 2020

We propose a real-time image matching framework, which is hybrid in the sense that it uses both hand-crafted features and deep features obtained from a well-tuned deep convolutional network. The matching problem, which we concentrate on, is specific to a certain application, that is, printing design to product photo matching. Printing designs are any kind of template image files, created using a design tool, thus are perfect image signals. However, photographs of a printed product suffer many unwanted effects, such as uncontrolled shooting angle, uncontrolled illumination, occlusions, printing deficiencies in color, camera noise, optic blur, et cetera. For this purpose, we create an image set that includes printing design and corresponding product photo pairs with collaboration of an actual printing facility. Using this image set, we benchmark various hand-crafted and deep features for matching performance and propose a framework in which deep learning is utilized with highest contribution, but without disabling real-time operation using an ordinary desktop computer.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) with its protean manifestations of central and peripheral nervous system pose a challenge to its management in different clinical scenario. The issue becomes much more complicated with occurrence of strange and unusual symptoms intermingling with common symptoms in people living with MS. The frequency and severity of these unusual symptoms changes overtime and raise a suspicion of other neurological disease. The occurrence of any of these symptoms at times may be a sign of active disease. A reasonable understanding of these strange symptoms both to the patient and healthcare team could be of help in taking appropriate steps to manage MS more efficiently.

Development of an UNDRIP Compliance Assessment Tool: How a Performance Framework Could Improve State Compliance
Authors: Smith Jackson A. , Mitchell Terry L.
Published: May 2020

Improving state compliance with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) can be supported by monitoring and measurement. Current approaches to monitoring state compliance with the UNDRIP are qualitative and non-standardized, which limits comparability across time and across geopolitical lines. In this article, we introduce a novel approach to monitoring compliance with the UNDRIP and human rights more generally. This work highlights the potential advantages of using a performance improvement framework to clearly identify gaps in compliance, monitor state compliance with the Declaration over time, and effectively assess and compare state compliance. We describe the development of a standardized UNDRIP compliance assessment tool and report the process and findings of a pilot test of the tool. The pilot assessment utilized the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples' (SRRIP; Anaya, 2014) findings on the situation of Indigenous Peoples in Canada in three thematic areas: (a) self-government and self-governance; (b) consultation and free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC); and (c) land and natural resources. While insufficient for a fulsome assessment of Canada’s compliance with the UNDRIP, we restricted ourselves to the report for two reasons: first, to test the applicability of the tool for quantifying qualitative data; and, second, to evaluate the degree to which the UN monitoring mechanism for Indigenous rights adheres to the Declaration’s Articles for monitoring and reporting. We discuss implications and opportunities for improving human rights monitoring and state implementation efforts.
Nüks gösteren odontojenik keratokist vakasında enükleasyon sonrası kriyoterapi uygulanması: olgu bildirimi
Authors: YILDIRIM Özgün
Published: May 2020

Odontojenik keratokist; lokal agresif davranış, yüksek rekürrens oranı ve ayırıcı histolojik görünüm gibi özelliklere sahiptir. İlk olarak Philipsen tarafından 1956'da tanımlanmıştır. Odontojenik keratokist, dişlerin laminasından veya primordiyal odontojenik epitelden kaynaklanan iyi huylu, çenelerde uniloküler veya multiloküler kistik yapı şeklinde görülen, intraosseöz bir kist olarak tanımlanır. Hayatın ikinci ve dördüncü dekadlarında pik yapmakla birlikte her yaş grubunda görülebilir. Mandibulada görülme oranı maksillaya göre daha fazla olmakla beraber, mandibulada ortaya çıkan odontojenik keratokist vaka yüzdesi %65-83 civarındadır. Mandibulada lezyonların çoğu posterior bölgede, angulusta ve yükselen ramusta görülür. Odontojenik keratokist tedavisi çoğunlukla; küretajlı/küretajsız enükleasyon, marsupyalizasyon, periferal osteotomi, Carnoy solüsyonu ile kimyasal küretaj, kriyoterapi, elektrokoter ve segmental rezeksiyon ile yapılır. Bu çalışmada, 50 yaşındaki erkek hastanın sağ mandibula ramus bölgesinde lokalize, nüks göstermesi nedeni ile iki sene üç ay sonra enükleasyonun ardından kriyoterapi uygulanan odontojenik keratokist vakası sunulmuştur. Nüks sonrası enükleasyon ile birlikte kriyoterapi kullanılarak opere edilen hastadan 9 ay sonra alınan panoramik radyografide yeni kemik oluşumu gözlenmiş ve nükse dair herhangi bir semptom saptanmamıştır.

Published: May 2020

Amaç: Çölyak hastalığında kalsiyum ve D vitamini eksikliğine bağlı metabolik kemik hastalığı en sık ekstraintestinal semptomlardan biridir. Bu çalışmada, çölyak hastalığı olan çocuklarda tanı esnasında kemik mineral yoğunluğunun değerlendirilmesi ve kemik mineral metabolizmasıyla ilişkili faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya hastanemiz çocuk gastroenteroloji bölümünde Aralık 2015-Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında çölyak hastalığı tanısı alan 43 çocuk hasta alındı. Retrospektif olarak hastaların klinik, antropometrik, patolojik ve laboratuar özellikleri [kalsiyum, fosfor, alkalenfosfataz (ALP), parathormon (PTH), 25-OH vitamin D düzeyleri] incelendi. Tanıda Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) yöntemi ile ölçülmüş olan lumbal (L1-L4) kemik mineral yoğunluğu düzeyleri değerlendirilerek kronolojik yaşa ve boy yaşına göre Z-skorları hesaplandı. Bulgular: Ortalama yaşları 9,9±4,8 (2,5-17,7) yıl olan 43 hastanın (34 kız/9 erkek) verileri değerlendirildi. %30,2’si (n=13) 0-6 yaş, %30,2’si (n=13) 7-11 yaş aralığında ve % 39,5’i (n=17) 11 yaş üzerindeydi. Yaşa göre KMY Z-skoru -0,83±1,1 (-3,6-1,6), boy yaşına göre KMY Z-skoru -0,18±1,1 (-3,6-1,8) saptandı. Hastaların %51,2’sinde (n=22) yaşa göre KMY Z-skoru>-1, %34,9’unda (n=15) -1 ve -2 arasında ve %14’ünde (n=6) <-2 saptandı. Yaşa göre KMY Z-skorunun<-2 olma oranı 11 yaştan büyük çocuklarda anlamı olarak yüksekti (p<0,001). Hastaların KMY Z-skorları ile serum D vitamini, kalsiyum, fosfor, ALP ve PTH düzeyleri arasında ilişki saptanmadı (p>0,050). Sonuç: Çölyak hastalarında tanı yaşının gecikmesi kemik mineral yoğunluğunu olumsuz etkilemektedir. Erken yaşta tanı konulması kemik mineral kaybını engeller ve osteopeni/osteoporoz gelişmiş olan hastalarda tedavi olanağı sağlayarak morbiditeyi azaltır.
Comparison Between Machine Learning Models for Yield Forecast in Cocoa Crops in Santander, Colombia
Authors: Lamos-Díaz Henry , Puentes-Garzón David Esteban , Zarate-Caicedo Diego Alejandro
Published: May 2020

The identification of influencing factors in crop yield (kg·ha-1) provides essential information for decision-making processes related to the prediction and improvement of productivity, which gives farmers the opportunity to increase their income. The current study investigates the application of multiple machine learning algorithms for cocoa yield prediction and influencing factors identification. The Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Ensemble Learning Models (Random Forests, Gradient Boosting) are compared with Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression models. The considered predictors were climate conditions, cocoa variety, fertilization level and sun exposition in an experimental crop located in Rionegro, Santander. Results showed that Gradient Boosting is the best prediction alternative with Coefficient of determination (R2) = 68%, Mean Absolute Error (MAE) = 13.32, and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) = 20.41. The crop yield variability is explained mainly by the radiation one month before harvest, the accumulated rainfall on the harvest month, and the temperature one month before harvest. Likewise, the crop yields are evaluated based on the kind of sun exposure, and it was found that radiation one month before harvest is the most influential factor in shade-grown plants. On the other hand, rainfall and soil moisture are determining variables in sun-grown plants, which is associated with the water requirements. These results suggest a differentiated management for crops depending on the kind of sun exposure to avoid compromising productivity, since there is no significant difference in the yield of both agricultural managements.

Peran seorang istri sangat penting dalam sebuah keluarga. Sehingga sebagai ibu rumah tangga dan seorang istri mempunyai tugas dan kewajiban tersendiri, yang terkadang tugas-tugas itu tidak bisa dialihkan atau digantikan kepada orang lain demi keutuhan dan kebahagiaan keluarga itu sendiri. Karena itu seorang wanita harus benar-benar mampu melaksanakan kewajibannya dengan ikhlas dan tanggung jawab.

Namun, fakta yang terjadi di Desa Kediri, menunjukkan bahwa kodrat perempuan sebagai seorang istri dan ibu rumah tangga mengalami perubahan. Sebelumnya kebanyakan dari mereka hanya berada di rumah untuk mengurusi urusan keluarganya saja. Namun seiring berkembangnya  zaman,  situasi  dan kondisi  saat  ini pun  banyak  yang berbeda.  Diikuti  dengan  naiknya  harga kebutuhan yang semakin lama semakin tinggi dan banyak,  menyebabkan kebanyakan  dari  mereka memutuskan  untuk bekerja di  luar  negeri  guna memperoleh  gaji yang  banyak  dan  dapat  memenuhi  kebutuhan  hidup, karena mereka dalam kondisi terbelit persoalan ekonomi. Sehingga istri pun berupaya untuk berperan aktif  membantu untuk memperbaiki persoalan ekonomi yang ada.

Menurut mereka, menjadi TKW merupakan suatu pilihan yang tepat. Padahal dibalik  pilihan  itu  terdapat  beberapa  risiko  yang  harus dihadapi. Profesi  istri  yang  bekerja  sebagai  TKW  mengakibatkan ia terpisah  jarak dan waktu dari anggota keluarga yaitu suami dan  anak.

RELEVANCE OF THE CONCEPT OF FAIR PRICES AND PROFITS FOR THE COMMUNITY, (STUDY OF IBN TAYMIYYAH THOUGHTS ON JUSTICE IN TRADE)
Authors: Mansyur Zaenuddin
Published: May 2020

The urgency of justice in determining a price or profit in trade at least can construct the concerns of the leading cleric's Ibn Taymiyyah to bring up the theories associated with it. Ibn Taymiyah's involvement in bringing up the theory of justice in the field of trade was nothing but to improve the economic conditions of the community where he lived. Ibn Taimiyah's concern in the economy when he gave rise to fair price theory. According to him that a fair price is a price that can be formed by market forces that run freely is not determined by the party who has the goods so that the shortage of goods (supply decreases) or increasing population (demand rises) is not a reason to raise prices as freely as possible. While the theory of determining a fair price for Ibn Taymiyyah had an impact on determining a fair profit as well. Where profit-taking may also not be determined by the owner of the goods but profit-taking is based on market conditions in ways that are generally accepted. This means that the profit to be taken is a normal profit that can be received by all parties by providing the same price to the general public event even though there is a great need for the merchandise. Thus, determining a price is very relevant to making a profit. Where profits can be determined through market prices that do not cause gaps and exploitation to buyers.

Authors: Ridho Abdul Rasyid
Published: May 2020

Maslahah in al-Juwayni's thinking is not a source of law, but it is an indicator in determining the existence of a law. Basically, maslahah which is the basis and purpose of the establishment of sharia, in the view of al-Juwayni, concerns all universal human needs that can guarantee the maintenance and uphold of human life's milestones. This is al-Juwayni's formulation includes four things, namely guaranteed the maintenance of religion, soul, honor (ancestry), and human property. Then in making istinbat a law, especially related to cases that have not been regulated by the legal status, it must refer to the five categories of maslahah as formulated by al-Juwayni. These five categories are the basis and purpose of the making and determination of the law found in the text.

Authors: Yusuf Muhammad
Published: May 2020

Pada tataran konseptual pemikiran fiqih keuangan dan perbankan memunculkan sebuah perdebatan bahwasanya kedua konsep tersebut terlahir sebagai sesuatu yang baru dalam kajian keislaman ataukah suatu konsep lama yang mengalami pembaharuan daban atau temuan baru dalam kajian kekinian sebagai bentuk ijtihad ummat Islam masa kini. Perjalanan sejarah mengarahkan kepada kita untuk mengetahui bahwa ekonomi Islam yang di dalamnya terdapat konsep keuangan dan perbankan, telah kehilangan pengakuan selama masa kemunduran hingga masa modernis. Begitu juga permasalahan-permasalahan yang terkait dengan ikhtilaf para ulama terkait dengan keberadaan lembaga-lembaga keuangan Islam modern saat ini, yang terus menuai kritik dikalangan masyarakat banyak. Kendati demikian, sistem ekonomi Islam setidaknya mempunyai ciri khas dibanding sistem ekonomi lainnya (kapitalis-sosialis).

This time is different. The globalization of uncertainty
Authors: Dobrescu Paul , Ciocea Mălina
Published: May 2020

“Some warn that the disease will be remembered not only as a human catastrophe, but also as a geopolitical turning-point away from the West. Are they right?” (Minton Beddoes, 2020). Irrespective of the answer, this question raises the unsettling issue of the viability of the current international order. This is not a singular voice. For instance, Henry Kissinger unequivocally asserts that “The coronavirus pandemic will forever alter the world order” (Kissinger, 2020). Analyses focusing on the geopolitical impact of the current pandemic often employ apocalyptical imagery.
The Dark Side of F. Reflections on Siva Vaidhyanathan’s Antisocial Media. How Facebook Disconnects Us and Undermines Democracy
Authors: Jakubowski Jakub
Published: May 2020

The book takes a natural and necessary direction on the path to the modernization of the critical tradition, choosing Facebook, which has provided numerous reasons to be criticized by the author of this book, and by others. After a relatively long stage of cognitive optimism which prevailed in the discourse on the internet and democracy, this relationship has begun to be looked at with increasing caution and doubt (Loader & Mercea, 2011). With Brexit, Trump and several other ‘phenomena’ around the world, we have become disillusioned about the ability of the internet in its modern incarnation to help us rebuild a badly bruised democracy (Tucker et al., 2017). The book systematically identifies these illusions, accusing Facebook of exerting an adverse impact on social discussion, redistribution of goods, social relations and values, access to reliable information and so on. Using the concept of myth (cf. Barthes), the author argues that Facebook covertly constructs our vision of reality the same way television did in the past.
Quantifying water erosion hazard in central Tunisia A case study: the Leben watershed
Authors: BEDOUI Chokri
Published: May 2020

This study was performed in order to quantify soil erosion in the arid lands of central Tunisia. To do this we used geographic information systems, remote sensing and the RUSLE prediction model. While the study area is characterized by reduced rainfall quantities and therefore a low R factor, other factors such as high soil erodibility, low vegetation cover and steep slopes resulted in locally high erosion rates. Indeed, the calculation of RUSLE factors revealed values between 0 and 731 tones×ha-1×year-1 with an average of 3.84 tones×ha-1×year-1. Whereas most catchment lands have low levels, the relief surrounding the catchment has relatively high rates due to the high value of slopes, the skeletal soils that compose them, but also due to the absence of protection, reforestation or crop management. This study also showed that despite their small extension compared to the watershed, main streams sectors, and especially their banks, record the highest erosion rates mainly due to the flow accumulation in the downstream sectors. Relative protection of the piedmont, which has saved them from higher erosion, can only be considered efficient and sustainable if the upstream hillsides are also protected. The comparison with previous studies carried out in Tunisia shows similarities in the results of some of them, considering the natural geographical variation of the R factor.
