Authors: Patandung Vina Putri , Kadar Kusrini , Erika Kadek Ayu
Published: January 2020

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease with high level of complexity that requires extensive education and self-care management. The demands on individuals with T2DM are complicated by the fact that self-care often depends on printed educational materials and high health literacy skills. Every individual who needs health information and services also needs health literacy skills to find health information and services, communicating needs, respond to and using the information and obtaining health services, understanding health information, and finding realible health information and services to suit all needs, making the right decision to act. This study aims to determine the level of functional, communicative, and critical health literacy of T2DM patients at Pangolombian and Kakaskasen Public Health Centre of Tomohon City, as well as factors related to the level of health literacy. Method: Quantitative descriptive to describe the level of health literacy and correlation to see factors related to the patient's health literacy level. The sample of this study was a patient of T2DM who followed prolanis, amounted to 34 people, determined by using purposive sampling. Data were obtained by interview and using demographic characteristics questionnaire and Functional, Communicative, and Critical Health Literacy questionnaires. Result: Generally, health literacy level of T2DM patients is still low both for functional, communicative, and critical. This can happen because of various factors but the most related is the low access to health information and patient education level. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that health literacy level of T2DM patient in Tomohon city is still very low. This happened because access to health information is still less obtained by patients and also their education level is still low. These results can be used as recommendations for health workers to pay more attention to how to educate patients who should be adjusted to the level of education so that the information provided can be put to good use by the patient.

Published: January 2020

2I/Borisov is the first-ever observed interstellar comet (and the second detected interstellar object (ISO)). It was discovered on 2019 August 30 and has a heliocentric orbital eccentricity of ∼3.35, corresponding to a hyperbolic orbit that is unbound to the Sun. Given that it is an ISO, it is of interest to compare its properties—such as composition and activity—with the comets in our solar system. This study reports low-resolution optical spectra of 2I/Borisov. The spectra were obtained by the MDM Observatory Hiltner 2.4 m telescope/Ohio State Multi-Object Spectrograph (on 2019 October 31.5 and November 4.5, UT). The wavelength coverage spanned from 3700  to 9200 Å. The dust continuum reflectance spectra of 2I/Borisov show that the spectral slope is steeper in the blue end of the spectrum (compared to the red). The spectra of 2I/Borisov clearly show CN emission at 3880 Å, as well as C2 emission at both 4750  and 5150 Å. Using a Haser model to covert the observed fluxes into estimates for the molecular production rates, we find Q(CN) = 2.4 ± 0.2 × 1024 s−1, and Q(C2) = (5.5 ± 0.4) × 1023 s−1 at the heliocentric distance of 2.145 au. Our Q(CN) estimate is consistent with contemporaneous observations, and the Q(C2) estimate is generally below the upper limits of previous studies. We derived the ratio Q(C2)/Q(CN) = 0.2 ± 0.1, which indicates that 2I/Borisov is depleted in carbon-chain species, but is not empty. This feature is not rare for the comets in our solar system, especially in the class of Jupiter-family comets.
Sclerodactyly and Diabetic Complications among Egyptian Adolescent Type 1 Diabetic Patient
Authors: El Dayem Soha M. , El Bohy Abo El Magd , Battah Ahmed A.
Published: January 2020

BACKGROUND: One of the common complications of diabetic patients is sclerodactyly which is considered as a part of limited joint mobility.
AIM: To assess sclerodactyly in adolescent type 1 diabetics and to detect its relation to other diabetic complications.
METHODS: Sixty-three diabetics and 60 controls were studied. Clinical, laboratory assessment, ultrasonography of the skin, carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) & renal colour duplex were done for all participants.
RESULTS: Sclerodactyly was positive in 12 (19%) of diabetics. Patients with sclerodactyly had a significantly thickened skin compared to patients without sclerodactyly and controls, P = 0.0001. Male diabetics had significantly thickened skin (p = 0.0001). Diabetic patients with sclerodactyly had significant higher systolic blood pressure (p = 0.03), cholesterol (p = 0.05) and triglyceride (p = 0.004) and lower HDL-c (p = 0.04). Skin thickness had a significant positive correlation with age of diabetic patients (p = 0.02), waist/height ratio (p = 0.04), glycosylated hemoglobin (p = 0.03), albumin/creatinine ratio (p = 0.03), and cIMT (p = 0.03).
CONCLUSION: Ultrasound easily diagnoses sclerodactyly. Diabetic patients had a high prevalence of sclerodactyly with increased macrovascular and microvascular complications. Sclerodactyly may be a marker for diabetic vascular complications. Frequent follow up of diabetic patients for early detection of sclerodactyly in uncontrolled diabetic patients is recommended. It could be an alarming sign for microalbuminuria, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and atherosclerosis.

Published: January 2020

BACKGROUND: Functional constipation (FC) is a common health problem in paediatrics that causes significant physical and emotional distress to patients and their families.
AIM: In the current work, we assessed the presence of behavioural problems in children with functional constipation and their pattern and relation to various demographic and disease-associated factors.
METHODS: A cross-sectional case-control study was conducted, including 55 consecutive children aged 4-16 years diagnosed with functional constipation and 55 healthy age and sex-matched controls. Psychological assessment was done using the Pediatric Symptom Checklist â€“ 17 (PSC-17).
RESULTS: Twenty-six (47.3%) patients with FC had positive total PSC-17 scores while none of the controls had positive scores (p-value < 0.001). Positive internalising and externalising behaviours scores and attention problems were found in 36 (65.5%), 15 (27.3%) and 12 (21.8%) of the patients respectively in contrary to controls where only 6 (10.9%) had positive scores in internalising behaviour, and non-showed externalising behaviour and 4 (7.3%) were inattentive. Older age, longer duration of illness, residency in rural areas and presence of encopresis were found to have a significant association with the presence of such problems.
CONCLUSION: Children with FC have more behavioural disorders compared to healthy controls. Integration of psychosocial aspects and their management is recommended during dealing with patients with FC.
Schistosomiasis and Bladder Cancer in Egypt: Truths and Myths
Authors: Amin Hebat Allah Ahmed , Kobaisi Mohamed Hamed , Samir Rasha Mohamed
Published: January 2020

BACKGROUND: The gathered archeopathological evidence has confirmed that Schistosomiasis has been endemic in Ancient Egypt for over 500 decades. The association between Schistosoma hematobium and increase bladder cancer risk is also well acknowledged. However, over the years, there is a proved changing pattern of bladder cancer that needs to be investigated.
AIM: We aim to discuss the truths and myths about bladder cancer and its association with Schistosomiasis in Egypt.
METHODS: A cross-sectional, case-control study was performed to collect recent data on the topic.
RESULTS: Of the reported cancer cases, 79.3% were transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), an additional 6% showed associated squamous features. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) constituted only 13.8% of cancer cases. Schistosomiasis was histologically confirmed in 19 cancer cases, only one was SCC. The relative frequency of TCC is increasing, while SCC is decreasing. There is no evidence that this pattern is related to smoking or environmental factors, as the incidence of lung cancer, is not proportionately increasing.
CONCLUSION: The old concept that Schistosomiasis is associated with SCC should be revaluated as most cases are associated with TCC. Relying on the histopathology for confirmation of Schistosomiasis in our research studies appears to be non-accurate and leads to irrelevant results.

Authors: El Makawi Yasmine , Khattab Nagwa
Published: January 2020

AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of lithium disilicate endocrowns compared to prefabricated zirconia crown used for restoring pulpotomized primary molars, on their Fracture Resistance and to compare the loads to failure these different ceramic restorations with previously reported posterior occlusal forces.
METHODS: Twenty mandibular left second primary molars were randomly distributed into two groups (n = 10 in each group) the zirconia Crown (Nusmile zr.) Group (G1) and the lithium disilicate (IPS e.max Press) Endocrown Group (G2). In all groups pulpotomy procedure was done before preparation then each sample was prepared based on their allocated restoration, both zirconia crown (Nusmile zr.) and endocrown (IPS e.max Press) were cemented by dual-cure resin cement. All samples were loaded to failure using a universal testing machine (Instron, USA), and the compressive force was applied. The data were analysed using one-way (ANOVA) and Tukeyâ€™s post hoc significance difference tests. Differences were considered significant at (p< 0.05).
RESULTS: Group zirconia crown (G1) showed significantly higher fracture strength than Group (G2) lithium disilicate endocrown (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The zirconia crown showed higher fracture resistance than lithium disilicate endocrown. However, both tested zirconia crown and lithium disilicate endocrown withstood the application of axial occlusal forces greater than the reference values for posterior occlusal loads.

The provision of wage incentives: A structural estimation using contracts variation
Authors: D'Haultfœuille Xavier , Février Philippe
Published: January 2020

We address empirically the issues of the optimality of simple linear compensation contracts and the importance of asymmetries between firms and workers. For that purpose, we consider contracts between the French National Institute of Statistics and Economics (Insee) and the interviewers it hired to conduct its surveys in 2001, 2002, and 2003. To derive our results, we exploit an exogenous change in the contract structure in 2003, the piece rate increasing from 20.2 to 22.9 euros. We argue that such a change is crucial for a structural analysis. It allows us, in particular, to identify and recover nonparametrically some information on the cost function of the interviewers and on the distribution of their types. This information is used to select correctly our parametric restrictions. Our results indicate that the loss of using such simple contracts instead of the optimal ones is no more than 16%, which might explain why linear contracts are so popular. We also find moderate costs of asymmetric information in our data, the loss being around 22% of what Insee could achieve under complete information.
Worker overconfidence: Field evidence and implications for employee turnover and firm profits
Authors: Hoffman Mitchell , Burks Stephen V.
Published: January 2020

Combining weekly productivity data with weekly productivity beliefs for a large sample of truckers over 2 years, we show that workers tend to systematically and persistently overpredict their productivity. If workers are overconfident about their own productivity at the current firm relative to their outside option, they should be less likely to quit. Empirically, all else equal, having higher productivity beliefs is associated with an employee being less likely to quit. To study the implications of overconfidence for worker welfare and firm profits, we estimate a structural learning model with biased beliefs that accounts for many key features of the data. While worker overconfidence moderately decreases worker welfare, it also substantially increases firm profits.
Nonparametric estimation of triangular simultaneous equations models under weak identification
Authors: Han Sukjin
Published: January 2020

This paper analyzes the problem of weak instruments on identification, estimation, and inference in a simple nonparametric model of a triangular system. The paper derives a necessary and sufficient rank condition for identification, based on which weak identification is established. Then
nonparametric weak instruments are defined as a sequence of reduced‐form functions where the associated rank shrinks to zero. The problem of weak instruments is characterized as
concurvity, which motivates the introduction of a regularization scheme. The paper proposes a penalized series estimation method to alleviate the effects of weak instruments and shows that it achieves desirable asymptotic properties. A data‐driven procedure is proposed for the choice of the penalization parameter. The findings of this paper provide useful implications for empirical work. To illustrate them, Monte Carlo results are presented and an empirical example is given in which the effect of class size on test scores is estimated nonparametrically.
Earthquakes and faults of the Charlevoix Impact Structure, Quebec
Authors: Nadeau L , Lamontagne M , Brouillette P , Locat J , Castonguay S , Morin A
Published: January 2020

This field guide was first written for the meeting of the Eastern Section of the Seismological Society of America (ES-SSA), held in La Malbaie in 2013. It has been slightly modified, mostly with new figures.
The Charlevoix Seismic Zone is the locus of the highest seismic hazard in continental eastern Canada. At the heart of this zone is the ~54 km diameter Charlevoix impact structure. This structure, located less than 125 km east of Quebec City, is one of the most accessible large meteorite impact
structures in eastern North America. The Charlevoix impact structure is singled out as it overprints Iapetus rift faults and the Logan's Line marking the edge of the Appalachian Orogen.
The Charlevoix impact structure gives the region its singular landscape. The ~5 km wide peripheral ring trough forms a prominent open valley extending from St. Lawrence River (sea level) to a threshold at ~250 m altitude. The highest point in the valley is nearly 850 m below the ~1100
m mean elevation of the external Laurentian plateau. The highest point is also 550 m below the central uplift, 'Mont-des-Éboulements,' which stands 780 m above sea level. The overall morphology of the Charlevoix impact structure matches that of a complex impact crater. Shatter cones,
mylolisthenite injections and shock-induced planar deformation microstructures in quartz and feldspar are widespread providing compelling evidence for the extent of shock metamorphism. The age of the impact is poorly constrained. Recently acquired 40Ar/39Ar and U-Pb data from impact melt rock and
pseudotachylite give a late-Ordovician age, which appears to be in better agreement with field relationships than the previously reported K-Ar Devonian-age.
Based on historical and current earthquake rate, the Charlevoix Seismic Zone is a region of high seismic hazard. Since the arrivals of the first Europeans in the early 1600s, it has been subject to five earthquakes of magnitude 6 or larger: in 1663 (M~7); 1791 (M ~6); 1860 (M ~6);
1870 (M ~6 ½); and 1925 (magnitude MS 6.2 ± 0.3). Recently, the magnitude of the 1663 earthquake was estimated to be as large as M 7.2 to 7.9!
The field trip provides an opportunity to enjoy the panoramic view of the peripheral trough and ring structure and of the central uplift, and to visit key outcrops featuring shock-related features, including shatter cones, impact breccias, and related fault zones. The focus of the field trip is on
the region's long fault reactivation history, dating back to the Iapetus Ocean rifting. The field trip also includes visiting outcrops of the St. Lawrence Platform Cambro-Ordovician sedimentary cover, allowing observation of the structural relationships with the Logan's Line marking the edge of the
Appalachian Orogen. Field research in the Charlevoix region is also important because, paired with seismic hazard, the area is known for its landslide sensitivity; stops at St. Joseph-de-la-Rive feature a major landslide caused by the February 5th 1663 earthquake.

Background: Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) accounts for about 20% of TB cases worldwide. Its diagnosis is challenging.Aim: This study meant to assess the prevalence of EPTB types, procedures to diagnose EPTB and medical officers’ (MOs) views on procedures performed in the diagnosis of EPTB over a 2-year period in Botswana.Setting: The study was conducted in 13 urban and rural facilities of 29 health districts in Botswana.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that reviewed patients’ TB data and administered a questionnaire to MOs.Results: About 2 in 10 TB (n = 2996, 22.7%) cases were classified as EPTB. The most common site of EPTB was pleural (n = 1066, 36.7%) followed by lymph node (LN) (n = 546, 18.8%). A pleural tap was performed in 182 (17.0%) cases of pleural TB and a fine needle aspiration (FNA) in one-third (n = 160, 29.6%) of LN TB cases. There were statistical differences in work experience amongst MOs’ responses regarding their self-reported confidence to undertake basic procedures to diagnose EPTB such as pleural tap (p = 0.032) or FNA (p 0.0001).Conclusion: This study reviewed and evaluated the proportion of EPTB and inquired about MO’s experience in managing EPTB. Despite MOs’ attendance at Botswana National Tuberculosis Programme (BNTP) TB case management (TBCM) training, the emphasis by the BNTP guidelines and availability of logistics, the execution rate of procedures to diagnose EPTB was still low in Botswana.

Gastric Carcinoma (GC) is one of the most common malignancies, which accounts for 6.8% of total cancer population worldwide. In India, the northeastern region has the highest gastric cancer incidence, and the Kashmir Valley has a very high incidence of gastric cancer as compared to other parts of Northern India. It exceeds 40% of total cancers with an incidence rate of 3–6-fold higher than other metro cities of India. Gastric cancer is a heterogeneous disease where most of the cases are sporadic, and <15% are due to obvious familial clustering. The heterogeneous nature of the disease can be associated with differences in genetic makeup of an individual. A better understanding of genetic predisposition toward GC will be helpful in promoting personalized medicine. The aim of this review is to analyze the development and progression of GC and to explore the genetic perspectives of the disease with special emphasis on Jammu and Kashmir, India.
Build Power Profiling Tool for Modern CPUs
Authors: Naif Aljabri and Osama Abulnaja Naif Aljabri and Osama Abulnaja

. Reduce the application power consumption is one of the main challenges for the HPC
community. Code power profilers are very important for researchers to identify the performance
bottlenecks and power consumption for their code. Most of the modern CPUs are equipped with a
built-in sensor to allow researchers and HPC engineers to estimate the power consumption of the
running applications. To estimate the power consumption for any piece of code running on CPU,
you need to eliminate the confounding factors as possible and run the code many times until the
average converge. The reason for that is the environment, which has the OS and other processes
and services running at the same time with your code and may report incorrect power readings. In
this paper, we build a power profiler tool, which saves the researcher time by running and
profiling different pieces of code with different types of workloads, and keeps running until the
average converge. Furthermore, we identify and eliminate the environment confounding factor
which saves the researcher time and gives a realistic result for power consumption experiments.
Task-Scheduling Based on Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization in
Spatial Crowdsourcing
Authors: Afra A. Alabbadi and Maysoon F. Abulkhair Afra A. Alabbadi and Maysoon F. Abulkhair
Published: January 2020

As a result of the rapid growth of internet and smartphone technology, a novel platform
that attracts individuals and groups known as crowdsourcing emerged. Crowdsourcing is an
outsourcing platform that facilitates the accomplishment of costly tasks that consume long periods
of time when traditional methods are used. Spatial crowdsourcing (SC) is based on location; it
introduces a new framework for the physical world that enables a crowd to complete spatialtemporal tasks. The primary issue in SC is the assignment and scheduling of a set of available
tasks to a set of proper workers based on different factors, such as the location of the task, the
distance between task location and hired worker location, temporal conditions, and incentive
rewards. In the real-world, SC applications need to optimize multi-objectives simultaneously to
exploit the utility of SC, and these objectives can be in conflict. However, there are few studies
that address this multi-objective optimization problem within a SC environment. Thus, the
authors propose a multi-objective task scheduling optimization problem in SC that aims to
maximize the number of completed tasks, minimize total travel cost, and ensure worker workload
balance. To solve this problem, we developed a method that adapts the multi-objective particle
swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm based on a proposed novel fitness function. The
experiments were conducted with both synthetic and real datasets; the experimental results show
that this approach provides acceptable initial results. As future work, we plan to improve the
effectiveness of our proposed algorithm by integrating a simple ranking strategy based on task
entropy and expected travel costs to enhance MOPSO performance.

This paper was sent to be published in the Journal of King Abdulaziz University for Islamic Economics. Also, it was presented in different title( ) in the Asia-Pacific Business Research Conference in Malysia, February 2011. The researchers highlighted the significant role of the Shari’ah corporate governance in the effectiveness and stability of Islamic financial Institutions in Malaysia. They outline the roles of corporate governance (in both conventional and Islamic corporations) through which it can be directed, administered and controlled. However, they argue that Shari’ah corporate governance has different perspective and methodology. The Shari’ah corporate governance primary is based on the tenets of Islam as the primary law and then on other positive laws, such as laws regulating the interest of the directors and the stakeholders. They described the structure of shari’ah corporate governance in Malaysia in order to emphasize and underscore some legal obstacles in the Shari’ah corporate governance and suggest some practical solutions to reform absence in the law.

للإجابة على السؤال: هل يمكن أن يكون هناك إعجاز اقتصادي علمي في القرآن الكريم؟ تم التفريق بين الاقتصاد كعلم وبين السياسات والتنظيمات الاقتصادية. وقد وجد أن هناك إعجازًا علميًا في القرآن الكريم في السياسات والتنظيمات الاقتصادية ولكن لا يوجد إعجاز علمي في النظريات الاقتصادية، ذلك أن علم الاقتصاد مكون من مجموعة من النظريات والمفاهيم غير المستقرة تغيرت بتغير المدارس الفكرية وكانت مبنية على القيم الرأسمالية وهي تخالف القيم الإسلامية أحيانا.
