Published: August 2022

We report a case of infant botulism admitted to the Children’s Hospital “Giovanni XXIII”, Bari, Italy. After a week of constipation, hypotonia, lethargy, ptosis, reduction of suction and cry, a 2-month-old infant male, the first kid of unrelated parents was taken to the closest hospital, after being born normotrophic, at term, without a prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal medical history or neurodevelopmental delay. The patient was referred to the pediatric center for an undiagnosed progressive worsening of awareness and he was intubated for bradypnea and desaturation. The toxicologic panel, cerebrospinal fluid exam, radiological imaging, and laboratory results were negative. Only after neurological instrumental analysis, we found a normal EEG but a positive EMG that is associated with the history of raw honey intake (revealed only later by his mother). We were allowed to define the hypothesis of infant botulism earlier than the confirmation of the standard mouse bioassay. So, as a result, Botulism Immune Globulin-Intravenous IgG over 3 hours in a single recommended dose of 0.1 mL/kg/min was injected. The infant showed a gradual improvement and after 10 days he was extubated. The Preterm Oral Feeding Readiness Scale showed an improvement through the rehabilitation program with physiotherapy and parents’ stimuli. After one month he was discharged. Frequently, infant botulism is not the first hypothesis but it is the result of a strict differentiation from other diseases characterized by hypotonia such as sepsis, infectious, genetic, autoimmune, or metabolic diseases through the use of history, and laboratory tests and radiological imaging. At first, toxin detection can be useful for early diagnosis. In the later stages, the neurological instrumental support can help the clinician to elucidate the cause of muscle weakness. In fact, the EEG and the EMG could be positive when toxins are unlikely to be detectable in the serum and other data are negative. A minimum of one arm and one leg should be examined for motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity along with two distal muscles for 2-Hz nerve stimulation and a needle EMG with an adequate sample. We suggest that the neurological instrumental support can help the clinician to elucidate the cause of muscle weakness, in particular in the later stages. Honey shouldn’t be provided to infants under one-year-old children because the majority of instances still have a good history of exposure to it.

With the advancement of digital paintings in online collection platform, new image processing algorithms are required to manage digital paintings saved on database. Image retrieval has been one of the most difficult disciplines in digital image processing because it requires scanning a large database for images that are comparable to the query image. It is commonly known that retrieval performance is largely influenced by feature representations and similarity measures. Deep Learning has recently advanced significantly, and deep features based on deep learning have been widely used because it has been demonstrated that the features have great generalisation. In this paper, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is utilised to extract deep and high-level features from the paintings. Next, the features were used for similarity measure between the query image and database images; subsequently, similar images are ranked by the distance between both pair features. Our experiments show that this strategy significantly improves the performance of content-based image retrieval for the style retrieval task of painting.

Text summarization is a technique to create a summary by shortening the length of text but keep the key information. There are two main approaches to summarize the text which are abstractive summarization and extractive summarization. This study is aimed to extract the most important top 5 reviews which can summarize the overall reviews of certain product in Amazon fine food reviews. TextRank algorithm which is one of the extractive summarization approaches is used to perform text summarization automatically. GloVe pre-trained word embedding model with 100 dimensions is used to map each word from the reviews to vector representation. Besides, PageRank algorithm is applied to compute the sentence rankings scores to determine how important and relevant of the sentences can be the representatives of summary. Top 5 reviews with the highest sentence ranking scores are extracted to be the summary and further discussed the customer perception on the product based on the summary generated. The final summary shows that Amazon customer reviews tend to positive for certain food brand. Keywords: Text Summarization, Extractive Summarization, TextRank

In recent years, many people have been influenced by YouTuber stars, celebrities, and influencers to their online products, especially on Twitter. Many celebrities who have many followers would start promoting certain products to all their fans and followers. Fans and followers have to share the show with their friends to gain more popularity among other audiences. Celebrities have played a vital role in corporate brands as they can promote the brand products and have also attracted many people who are interested in purchasing the products. Therefore, the group of celebrities can be called social media influencers (SMI). In social network analysis (SNA), a node value influential a network called centrality. Centrality is defined as a value that represents how many connections are from nodes to other nodes (Wasserman & Faust, 1994). There are many methods to define centrality to identify the effect of each node in a social network such as Degree Centrality (DC), Betweenness Centrality (BC), Closeness Centrality (CC), and Eigenvector Centrality (EC). Among these, the eigenvector centrality will give the most influential node in a network. A node with the highest eigenvector value among the other nodes is the most influential/important node in a network. Data was collected from Twitter using the Twitter API with the hashtag #pizzzahut. The goal of this research is to identify the main influencer in the Twitter community. It applied the eigenvector centrality to observe the effect of the centrality value for Twitter data. The result shows that there is a significant difference among the 3 most influential users. This result will be used for future research that will be focused on small and medium enterprise (SME) Twitter data. This research is held a comparison analysis between the 4 centrality measurements approach for determining the most influential user with social network Twitter as its case study.

We investigated the potential use of synthetic data for automatic license plate detection and recognition by detecting and clustering each of the characters on the license plates. We used 36 cascading classifiers (26 letters + 10 numbers) as an individual character to detect synthetically generated license plates. We trained our cascade classifier using a Local Binary Pattern (LBP) as the visual descriptor. After detecting all the characters individually, an investigation has been established in identifying and utilizing a clustering algorithm in grouping these characters for valid license plate recognition. Two clustering algorithms have been considered including Hierarchical and K-means. Investigation results revealed that the hierarchical clustering algorithm approach produces better results in clustering the detecting characters than the K-means. Inaccuracy in the actual detection and recognition of license plates is largely attributed to the false detections in some of the 36 classifiers used in the study. To improve the precision in the detection of plate numbers, it is recommended to have a good classifier for each character detection and utilization of a good clustering algorithm. The proponents concluded that detecting and clustering each character was not an effective approach, however the use of synthetic data in training the classifiers shows promising results.

With the increased use of electronic medical records and computer networks, Medical Image Watermarking (MIW) now plays a very important role to preserve integrity and completeness of medical images. As of now, there are no perfect algorithms or solutions for invisible watermarking as there are trade-offs between visibility and robustness. In this study, we explored multiple implementations of image watermarking techniques using Hybrid Approach and Deep-Learning-Approach. The experiments to measure the limitations and robustness were done on a dataset of breast ultrasound images. 18 attacking methods were performed on the encoded images and performance were evaluated using PSNR and NCC. Encoded images were then being transmitted digitally using multiple transmission method to test its robustness against transmission platform. In conclusion, the Deep-Learning Approach of RivaGAN has shown best robustness despite many extreme attacks while the Hybrid Approach of DWT-DCT-SVD shown the best performance in terms of imperceptibility. We reject RivaGAN as the best solution for Medical Image Watermarking despite its robustness as it was created specifically for video invisible watermarking.

A 2021-ben elfogadott Európai Klímarendelet az első olyan jogilag kötelező EU-s dokumentum, amely kimondja, hogy a közösségnek 2050-ig az első klímasemleges régióvá kell válnia a világon. A jogszabály elfogadását több fontos politikai és tudományos esemény készítette elő. A Klímarendelet meghatározó lesz az EU-s döntéshozatalban, ugyanis egyértelműen kijelöli azokat a stratégiai célokat, amelynek az EU-s jogszabályoknak meg kell felelniük. Emellett olyan középtávú célokat is meghatároz, amelyek előfeltételei a hosszú távú célok elérésének, és a legfrissebb tudományos eredmények hatékonyabb becsatornázásának is utat nyit egy európai szintű tudományos tanácsadó testület létrehozásával. Ez az új keretrendszer természetesen a tagállami mozgásteret is jelentősen befolyásolja. A tanulmány azt elemzi, milyen hatásai lehetnek a fenti fejleményeknek tagállami szinten.

Az agroökológia (AE) összekapcsolja a tudományos megközelítést és a tapasztalaton alapuló ismereteket, együttesen alkotva a mezőgazdaság fenntarthatóvá alakulásának keret- és eszközrendszerét. A trAEce projekt keretében folytatott kutatás az AE és a fenntarthatósági célok gazdaság szintű értelmezésének vizsgálatát tűzte ki célul. A projekt keretében végzett, gazdálkodókkal készített 17 mélyinterjú segítséget nyújtott a gazdálkodók helyi adottságokhoz alkalmazkodó gyakorlatának és azok AE-i vonatkozásainak megismeréséhez. Az elemzést a FAO 10 AE-i alapeleméhez kapcsolt mutatók beazonosításával végeztük, rávilágítva azokra az erősségekre és gyengeségekre, amelyek a gazdálkodók különböző gyakorlati megközelítéseit jellemzik, beleértve megoldásaikat az éghajlatváltozás okozta kihívásokra.

Introduction: TSH is one of the most routinely measured tests the clinical laboratory to diagnose and monitor thyroid diseases. TSH as the preferred screening test as recommended by The American Thyroid Association and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists for diagnosing thyroid dysfunction. Third-generation Ultra serum TSH assays have a functional sensitivity of 0.001 uIU/mL and have been considered highest among biochemical assay for assessing thyroid disorders. However, as observed in many clinical laboratories sometimes results of TSH assays are discordant among different immunoassay platforms.

Case Report: TSH values of a 56 years old male on Siemens Attelica while TSH was found to be elevated on Abbott Architect 1000 and Beckman Coulter DXI800. Retrospective analysis revealed few other cases (8/190) approx. 4.2 % showed discordant TSH values. This was found to be possibly because of mutation in TSH beta region (R55G).

Conclusion: Our present study suggest that these individuals who shows <0.001 values on Siemens Attelica must be tested with other platforms to assure appropriate management of disease. Further, clinicians and laboratory staff need to be aware about TSH variants along with other reported interferences.
CORRELATING THE CONCEPTS OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR) AND SUSTAINABILITY TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE PLASTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT IN LAGOS, NIGERIA
Authors: ALLEN-TAYLOR K. O.
Published: August 2022

So far, many CSR studies have focused on developed countries, while little attention has been paid to CSR activities in developing countries. On the other hand, the increasing discussion on sustainable development in developing countries, especially in Nigeria, has made a significant difference and triggered a wide debate on the relationship between CSR and sustainable development. CSR is arguably a dynamic concept that promotes sustainable development irrespective of the motivations and approaches of business organizations. The CSR components implemented by companies should lead to high levels of moral sustainability. The productivity scope of manufacturers and producers in the Nigerian plastics and packaging industry has been limited to economic growth and profit maximization, neglecting product life cycle management. This negligence has resulted in the indiscriminate dumping of empty plastic waste on the streets, leading to environmental degradation. However, it is important to explore how the concepts of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development can enable the reduction of plastic waste. The aim of this review paper is to link the concepts of corporate social responsibility and sustainable development to advance the management of plastic waste. The paper is important because it addresses the issues of corporate social responsibility, sustainable development and social well-being of the environment.

The prevalence of stomach diseases is tremendously high, which has a significant impact on human health. Damaged gastric mucosa is more susceptible to injury, leading to bleeding and perforation,eventually exacerbating the underlying disease. Gastric ulcer (GU) is a common disease of the digestive system and is mainly caused by an imbalance between protective and aggressive factors of the gastric mucosa. Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal cancer worldwide and has a high recurrence rate and mortality rate. Therefore, it is very important to protect the gastric mucosa. However, conventional medications that protect the gastric mucosa can cause mild side effects. In recent years, scholars at home and abroad have shown that miRNAs, PI3K/AKt/mTOR, TFFs and NAG-1 are involved in the process of gastric mucosa lesion, but the relationship between these are not clear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the development of GCs. A recent study showed a significant increase in miR-92a expression in several cancers, including GC. Targeted therapies are needed for a more effective treatment of oncological diseases. PI3K/AKT/Mtor signaling pathway inhibitors include single and dual inhibitors. Many PI3K inhibitors have performed well in preclinical studies, and have entered clinically trials for hematological malignancies and solid tumors. As multiple inhibitors are developed, further studies on predictive biomarkers are needed to measure the specificity of any therapeutic intervention. Here, we briefly review recent knowledge about the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway and the roles of miR-92a and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway inhibitors in gastric cancer. We also discuss recent efforts on the mechanisms of chemical factors that regulate the gastric mucosa, such as, TFFS; NAG-1, and future perspectives on gastric mucosa protection are discussed.

The scale development process is widely accepted and used as a quantitative tool to measure constructs in behavioural research. In the present paper, the objective was to develop core competency scale to measure the Knowledge, Attitude, Skills and other attributes of the extension field functionaries working under Land Resource Inventory based watersheds. A deductive scale development approach is adopted for construction of scale. Elaborative steps were followed to develop competency scale that should be parsimonious. In the present scale experts identified six major core competency domain areas like Planning, Communication, Technical, Program implementation, Professional and Information Technology competencies needed by extension field functionaries for effective execution of watershed activities. After judgment and content validity of the instrument, 38 items were selected for final scale and reliability was checked using Cronbach's alpha. The final scale is used to measure the competency gaps existing among extension field functionaries working in Land Resource Inventory based watersheds.
PENETAPAN HARGA BERAS DALAM PANDANGAN EKONOMI ISLAM (STUDI KASUS DI PD PASAR KERTAPATI PALEMBANG)
Authors: Fitria  , Humairoh
Published: August 2022

Harga harus mencerminkan manfaat bagi pembeli dan penjualan secara adil, yaitu penjualan memperoleh keuntungan yang normal dan pembeli memperoleh manfaat yang setara dengan harga yang dibayarkan. Islam memandang bahwa pasar memiliki kelebihan sekaligus kekurangannya. Dengan kata lain, mekanisme pasar tidak dianggap sebagai sesuatu yang telah sempurna atau baku sehingga tidak perlu intervensi dan rekayasa apapun (taken for granted). Ajaran islam sangat menghargai pasar sebagai tempat perniagaan yang halal (sah/legal), baik, sehingga secara umum merupakan mekanisme perniagaan yang paling ideal. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi kasus. Hasil penelitian ini adalah Penetapan harga beras di pasar kertapati palembang ditetapkan oleh mekanisme pasar dengan memiliki standar harga yang berlaku di pasaran. Penetapan harga di apsar kertapati palembang telah sesuai dengan teori ekonomi islam, karena terjadinya akad dalam keadaan rela sama rela antara penjual dan pembeli, tanpa adanya unsur keterpaksaan. Tujuan utama dari penetapan harga adalah adanya kestabilan harga di pasar guna menjaga kemaslahatan masyarakat. Menurut pandangan ekonomi Islam pemerintah tidak perlu ikut campur tangan dalam menentukan harga selama mekanisme pasar berjalan normal. Hanya bila mekanisme pasar tidak berjalan, pemerintah disarankan untuk melakukan kontrol harga. Adapun tugas pemerintah hanya mengawasi dan mengontrol jalannya mekanisme pasar.
