Published: January 2022

Paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common complaints of heart disorders that occur as a result of random vibrations of the atria. PAF episode show a serious increase with age, and the next steps are more difficult especially for the elderly. So, diagnosing in the early stages of this disorder is very important for the PAF patients to stop the progression of the disease and to improve the quality of life. For his reason, in this studyitisaimedtobedetectedwhichin5minutesbeforethePAF episodes. The 30-minute data is divided into 10 parts in 5 minutes with 50% overlap. For each part, wavelet transform methods and wavelet entropy are calculated over heart rate variability data. Using these measurements, it is determined whether there is a statistically significant difference between the parts and the early detection performance of PAF was obtained using the k-nearest neighbors classifier. As a result, PAF episode can be statistically distinguished before it occurs and it is determined that the k-nn classifier has about 72% performance 12.5 minutes earlier than a PAF episode.

Additionally, large amount of Web resources generally lies on a unstructured form and it tackles to find critical information for specific entities. Text analysis approaches such as Named Entity Recognizer and Entity Linking aim to identify entities and link them to relevant entities in the given knowledge base. To evaluate these approaches, there are a vast amount of general purpose benchmark datasets. However, it is difficult to evaluate domain-specific approaches due to lack of evaluation datasets for specific domains. This study presents WeDGeM that is a multilingual evaluation set generator for specific domains exploiting Wikipedia category pages and DBpedia hierarchy. Also, Wikipedia disambiguation pages are used to adjust the ambiguity level of the generated texts. Based on this generated test data, a use case for well-known Entity Linking systems supporting Turkish texts are evaluated in the movie domain.
Android Controlled Mobile Robot Design with IP Camera
Authors: Demir Emre , Gokcen Ahmet , Kutlu Yakup
Published: January 2022

In this study Arduino card based mobile robot design was realized. This robot can serve as a security robot, an auxiliary robot or a control robot. The designed robot has two operation modes. The first operating mode is autonomous mode. In this mode, the robot detects the surroundings with the help of ultrasonic sensors placed around it, and keeps track of the places it passes by using the encoder. It is able to navigate without hitting any place and passing from where it passes, and it transmits the patient's pulse and temperature condition to the user by other systems installed on it. Also the IP camera sends the scene on the screen. The emergency button to be placed next to the patient sends information to the user in emergency situations. If the abnormality is detected in the temperature and pulse again, the user gives a message. When the pre-recorded drug use times come, the system can alert the patient. The second mode is manual mode. In this mode, the user can move the desired direction of the robot with the Android operating system. In addition, all data received in autonomous mode can be sent to the user. Thus, the user can control the mobile robot with the camera image even if it is not in the vicinity of the robot.

Published: January 2022

As an educator who strives for highest quality university teaching, I do my best to create a complete immersion of my students in learning from theory, best practices, real examples and a great variety of in- and out- of university and class activities. Hence, my approach in teaching entrepreneurship courses in particular, consists of providing with every possible tip to make learning cognitive, fun, closest to reality and effectively productive and promising. Believing in the fundamental link or relationship, between innovation and entrepreneurship, I do focus very much on stimulating creativity through individual and team-based assignments, as well as games and picture-based exercises. Problem-solving games and exercises are particularly used. A best expected outcome in my entrepreneurship courses is a choice for enrolled students to create either a spin-off company, or a sound business plan to implement after graduation, individually or collectively. A major policy implication is the need for great improvements in courses content and teaching methods.

Published: January 2022

This research study aims at assessing the impact of the Algerian Dinar exchange rates variations on the Algerian trade balance during the period from 1990 to 2016.To achieve such an aim, we adopted a measuring model that suits local economy reality. The chosen model assessment was carried out by means of the OLS method and the cointegration test to notice if there are long term relationship between the dependent variable and interpreting ones.

Econometrics analysis showed that exchange rate variations have negative impact on trade balance as an inverse relationship exists between exchange rate variations and trade balance, which is the exact opposite of what is stated by economic theory, the cointegration test showed no relations at all between dependent and interpreting variables in the long run.

We concluded that Granger causality test gave results which rule out any causal relationship between dependent and independent variables as immediate response functions test showed weak trade balance response to any shock due to exchange rate variations of the local currency during the studied period.

Authors: LOUKIL Sahar , BEN ROMDHANE Youssra , KAMMOUN Souhaila
Published: January 2022

Our study looks at the relationship between firm’s investment spending in fixed and intangible assets and electoral uncertainty around two types of national elections: presidential and parliamentary elections. We analyze investment sensitivity to electoral uncertainty from 1996 through 2017 using a sample of 1485 firms from 45 countries. We find that, regardless election type, firm’s fixed investment significantly decrease around elections.  Precisely, firms hold investment spending in before elections and restart the year following year. In this case, firms adopt a wait-and-see strategy. But, in the context of corruption control the potential negative effects are reduced. We thus highlight how different types of investments respond to various electoral shocks since microeconomic processes respond to policy uncertainty based upon firm’s resource needs. We conclude that the effect of political uncertainty on business investment depend on the degree of political uncertainty and the investment to be undertaken.

Authors: Oyedeko Yusuf Olatunji , Zubairu Mohammed , Mamidu Aruna Ishola
Published: January 2022

The study explored how board inclusion in financial reporting affects the dividend policy in Nigeria. The study was conducted within the context of deposit money banks (DMBs) and data were gathered from the financial statement of listed DMBs in Nigeria for ten years spanning from 2008 to 2017. The study employed static and dynamic panel VAR technique. The result showed that dividend per share can predicts frequency of the board meeting, the frequency of board meeting can predicts board compliance to banks' rules and regulation in the future and board compliance to banks' rules and regulation can predict dividend per share. The study concluded that board inclusion in financial reporting on dividend policy exerts long-run and short run negative effect on dividend policy. In view of this study recommended that the board inclusion in financial reporting should aim at discouraging manipulative accounting tendencies and enhance true fare of financial position of the banks with the goal of improving or maximising dividend policy represented by the amount of cash pay-out as dividend to shareholders as a form of reward for their investments.
The role and preparedness of physiotherapists according to the results of students of two universities in the prevention of chronic diseases using stress urinary incontinence in women as an example
Authors: Witkoś Joanna , Hartman-Petrycka Magdalena
Published: January 2022

Background: The health and financial burden imposed by chronic non-communicable diseases is expected to increase in parallel with the rapid rate of global population aging. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is an important health problem. Medical professionals should thus provide their patients with knowledge about the appropriate prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, including SUI.
Aim of the study: This study compared the level of knowledge concerning the risk factors, prevention, and treatment of SUI in women between physiotherapy graduates at two different Universities with a focus on medicine (Med) and physical education (PE).
Material and Methods: This study included final-year physiotherapy students (n=401). Respondents provided answers to open-ended questions used to measure their knowledge about SUI in women.
Results: The complete and correct definition of SUI was provided by 64.4% of the students at University Med, and 56.3% of the students at University PE. Students at University Med, in comparison with the students at University PE, had a significantly higher awareness of the risk factors (86.4% vs. 69.4%), prevention methods (85.6% vs. 68.7%), and conservative (92.4% vs. 77.8%) as well as surgical treatment (28.0% vs 6.7%) of SUI in women (p<0.001).
Conclusions: There is a need for greater emphasis on education about SUI in order to better prepare physiotherapy graduate students to provide optimal care to their female patients. The disciplinary focus of Universities that provide graduate programs in physiotherapy plays a significant role in gaining knowledge about SUI.

Published: January 2022

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of sheep slaughter age on myogenic characteristics in skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs).Methods: Primary SMSCs were isolated from hind leg biceps femoris muscles of Wurank lambs (slaughtered at three months, Mth-3) and adults (slaughtered at fifteen months, Mth-15). SMSCs were selected by morphological observation and fluorescence staining. Myogenic regulatory factors (MRF) and myosin heavy chain (MyHC) expressions of SMSCs were analyzed on days 1, 3, 4, and 5.Results: The expressions of myogenic factor 5 (Myf5), myogenic differentiation (MyoD), Myf6, and myogenin (MyoG) in Mth-15 were significantly higher in Mth-15 than in Mth-3 on days 1, 3, and 4 (p<0.05). However, MyoG expression in Mth-15 was significantly lower than in Mth-3 on day 5 (p<0.05). The expressions of MyHC I, MyHC IIa, and MyHC IIx in Mth-15 were significantly higher than in Mth-3 on days 1 and 3 (p<0.05), and MyHC IIb were significantly lower than in Mth-3 on days 3 and 4 (p<0.05). In contrast, the expression of MyHC IIx in Mth-15 was significantly lower and MyHC IIb was significantly higher than in Mth-3 on days 5 (p<0.05).Conclusion: The slaughter age altered the expression of MRFs and MyHCs in SMSCs while differentiation, which caused the variation of myogenic characteristics, and thus may affect the meat quality of Wurank sheep.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of waste cooking oil (WCO) addition on ammonia (NH3) emissions during the composting of dairy cattle manure under two aeration conditions.Methods: The composting tests were conducted using the laboratory-scale composting apparatuses (14 L of inner volume). Three composting treatments (Control, WCO1.5, and WCO3, with WCO added at 0 wt%, 1.5 wt%, and 3 wt% of manure, respectively) were performed in two composting tests: aeration rate during composting was changed from 0.55 to 0.45 L/min in Test 1, and fixed at 0.3 L/min in Test 2, respectively. The NH3 emitted and nitrogen losses during the composting were analyzed, and the effect of the addition of WCO on NH3 emissions were evaluated.Results: Both tests indicated that the composting mixture temperature increased while the weight and water content decreased with increasing WCO content of the composting mixtures. On the other hand, the NH3 emissions and nitrogen loss trends observed during composting in Tests 1 and 2 were different from each other. In Test 1, NH3 emissions and nitrogen losses during composting increased with increasing WCO contents of the composting samples. Conversely, in Test 2, they decreased as the WCO contents of the samples increased.Conclusion: The WCO addition showed different effect on NH3 emissions during composting under two aeration conditions: the increase in WCO addition ratio increased the emissions under the higher aeration rate in Test 1, and it decreased the emissions under the lower aeration rate in Test 2. To obtain reduction of NH3 emissions by adding WCO with the addition ratio ≤3 wt% of the manure, aeration should be considered.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary yeast hydrolysate (YH) supplementation on intestinal morphology, barrier, and anti-inflammatory functions of broilers.Methods: A total of 320 one day old male broilers were randomly allocated into four groups with eight replicates of ten broilers each. The broilers were supplemented with a basal diet (the control group) or basal diets adding 50, 100, 150 mg/kg YH, respectively. This trial lasted for 42 days. The orthogonal polynomial contrasts were used to determine the linear and quadratic effects of increasing levels of YH.Results: In our previous research, supplementing YH improved growth performance by enhancing body weight gain but decreased feed-to-gain ratio. In this study, compared with the control group, dietary YH addition linearly and quadratically decreased serum diamine oxidase activity (p<0.05). Additionally, supplementing YH linearly and/or quadratically decreased jejunal crypt depth (CD), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) concentration as well as mucin 2, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, TNF-α, nuclear factor kappa B, and myeloid differentiation factor 88 gene expression levels (p<0.05). Whereas the jejunal villus height (VH), VH/CD, IL-10 concentration as well as zonula occludens-1 and IL-10 gene expression levels were linearly and/or quadratically increased by YH supplementation (p<0.05).Conclusion: Dietary YH supplementation improved intestinal morphology, barrier and anti-inflammatory functions while decreased intestinal permeability of broilers, which might be related with altering pertinent genes expression. This study provides evidence of YH as a promising feed additive for broilers.

Objective: Frankfurters are emulsion-type sausages that are widely consumed worldwide. However, some concerns regarding negative health effects have been raised because of the high fat content and the type of fat. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of duck fat and κ-carrageenan as replacements for beef fat and pork backfat in frankfurters.Methods: The different formulations for the frankfurters were as follows: 20% beef fat (BF), 20% pork backfat (PBF), 20% duck fat (DF), 20% soybean oil (SO), 20% duck fat/1% κ-carrageenan (DFC), and 20% soybean oil/1% κ-carrageenan (SOC). Physicochemical (fatty acid profile, color, rheological properties, cooking loss, water holding capacity, emulsion stability, and texture profile analysis), oxidative stability and sensory properties of frankfurters were evaluated.Results: Duck fat and κ-carrageenan improved rheological properties of meat batter, and physicochemical properties (emulsion stability, cooking loss, and hardness) of frankfurters. Moreover, duck fat added-frankfurters (DF and DFC) had higher oxidative stability than that of soybean-added frankfurters (SO and SOC) during refrigerated storage for 28 days. In sensory evaluation, flavor, texture, and overall acceptability of DFC were acceptable to untrained panelists.Conclusion: Our data suggest that duck fat and κ-carrageenan can replace beef fat and pork backfat in frankfurters. Duck fat and κ-carrageenan contributed to improve the physicochemical properties and oxidative stability while maintaining sensory properties. Therefore, the use of duck fat and κ-carrageenan may be a suitable alternative for replacing beef fat or pork backfat in frankfurters.

Shortage of protein feed resources is the major challenge to the world farm animal industry. Insects are known as an alternative protein source for poultry. A wide range of insects are available for use in poultry diets. Insect larvae thrive in manure, and organic waste, and produce antimicrobial peptides to protect themselves from microbial infections, and additionally these peptides might also be functional in poultry feed. The feed containing antimicrobial peptides can improve the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal health, and immune function in poultry. Insect meal contains a higher amount of essential amino acids compared to conventional feedstuffs. Black soldier fly, mealworm, housefly, cricket/Grasshopper/Locust (Orthoptera), silkworm, and earthworm are the commonly used insect meals in broiler and laying hen diets. This paper summarizes the nutrient profiles of the insect meals and reviews their efficacy when included in poultry diets. Due to the differences in insect meal products, and breeds of poultry, inconsistent results were noticed among studies. The main challenge for proper utilization, and the promising prospect of insect meal in poultry diet are also addressed in the paper. To fully exploit insect meal as an alternative protein resource, and exert their functional effects, modes of action need to be understood. With the emergence of more accurate and reliable studies, insect meals will undoubtedly play more important role in poultry feed industry.

Authors: Balau Mariana
Published: January 2022

A Cúpula de Lideranças Globais sobre o Clima ocorreu entre os dias 22 e 23 de abril e foi um dos primeiros eventos de alto nível organizados pelo governo Biden. Os anúncios do evento representam um prelúdio das posições dos principais agentes da governança do clima para a COP 26, que ocorrerá em novembro desse ano em Glasgow. O presente artigo analisa as principais metas apresentadas pelas lideranças e conclui que ainda que tenha havido um aumento significativo da ambição global, a cúpula não aponta para a obtenção de consenso em relação à tópicos ainda controversos nas negociações sobre a implementação do Acordo de Paris.
