Published: July 2022

One of the staple foods for most Indonesians is rice. Rice is one of the staple foods most consumed by the people of Indonesia, the need for rice is also increasing, considering the very large and scattered population of Indonesia. The ups and downs of rice prices also have an impact on farmers because of their large production. The solution to dealing with uncertain changes in the retail price of rice is to predict prices. One way to find out the estimated retail price of rice is to make predictions using the Support Vector Machine algorithm using Chi Square. The results of the experiments that have been carried out, the prediction of rice prices has been successfully carried out. The smallest error rate in the Support Vector Machine algorithm model is RMSE 733,061. Then the proposed model approaches the value of perfection, because the comparison of the experimental results of rice price predictions produces an average accuracy value of 95.82%. Thus, the proposed method is declared successful.

Представления о здоровье и болезни у пациентов с зависимостью от психоактивных веществ
Authors: Бузина Татьяна , Гаряев Данзан
Published: July 2022

Успешность лечения и реабилитации зависимости от психоактивных веществ зависит как от понимания пациентами своего заболевания, так и от представлений о здоровье как о цели лечения. Целью исследования стало изучение взаимосвязи между отношением к здоровью и отношением к болезни и лечению у пациентов с зависимостью от психоактивных веществ в сравнении с условно здоровыми людьми. Было обследовано 60 пациентов с зависимостью от психоактивных веществ и 30 условно здоровых лиц. Наиболее выраженной стратегией принятия решения в отношении болезни и лечения – и у пациентов с зависимостью, и у здоровых – является «безличный локус каузальности», что указывает на отсутствие в исследуемых группах представлений о каких-либо путях решения проблем в этой области. Представления о здоровье и поведение в отношении здорового образа жизни у пациентов не отличаются от здоровых людей, а уровень заинтересованности и вовлеченности в ЗОЖ соответствует средним показателям. Зависимые от ПАВ воспринимают свою ответственность за причины заболевания, но ответственность за лечение возлагают больше на врачей, чем на себя. У зависимых от ПАВ тревога в отношении здоровья имеет связь с интернальностью в отношении причин болезни и с безличным локусом каузальности, то есть с импульсивной стратегией принятия решения в отношении болезни и лечения. У здоровых не выявлено связи эмоционального уровня отношения к здоровью с компонентами отношения к болезни и лечению. Практическая значимость полученных в исследовании данных заключается также в том, что грамотно проводимая профилактика здорового образа жизни среди пациентов наркологических учреждений может формировать конструктивное отношение к болезни и лечению, повышать ответственность за результат лечения и формировать комплаентные отношения с медицинским персоналом.
Competitive biosorption of rare-earth elements on bacterial biomass: equilibrium and kinetic studies
Authors: C.S Jordão , E.C Giese
Published: July 2022

Previous studies showed that chemical modified Bacillus subtilis biomass possessed the high potential for recovery rare-earth elements, and, in this study, mathematical models were applied to explain the B. subtilis biomass La3+ and Sm3+ ions sorption capacity. The experimental isotherm data were analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and DRK equations. Both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms models that fit the equilibrium data. Temkin model showed that it occurs physisorption. In more dilute solutions, the adsorption preference follows the order La3+ > Sm3+. With the increase in the concentration of rare-earth elements, there is an inversion in the preference for Sm3+ > La3+. The results demonstrate that the optimum model for describing the kinetics of the biosorption of both rare-earth elements is the pseudo-second-order model as well as the viability of recovering lanthanum using bacterial biomass sorbents, a practical technique.
Mitigation of Starting Transients in Slip-Energy Recovery Drives
Authors: M I Amer Sanaa , N Eskander Mona
Published: July 2022

Starting voltage and current transients in slip energy recovery drives (SERD) may damage the stator and rotor windings. The resulting torque oscillations damage the induction machine mechanical parts. In this paper three schemes for damping starting transients and torque oscillations are proposed. In the first scheme a parallel RL impedance is connected between the supply and the stator coils, in the second scheme a parallel RL impedance is added in the rotor circuit, and in the third scheme the two impedances are connected simultaneously. Transient performance is simulated and the results of the three schemes are compared. Also, the effect of each proposed scheme on the steady state values of the SERD currents, voltages, and electric torque is studied and demonstrated. Lower current and voltage transients, and lower torque oscillations resulted in all schemes, with optimum transient performance observed when adding the two impedances simultaneously.

Authors: Bhuiyan A , Hossain Md , Uddin Md , Haider Md
Published: July 2022

Pangasius catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) is popular among fish farmers of Bangladesh due to its hardy characteristics, fast growth, and its ability to survive in high densities. Many consumers love to buy this fish due to its low market price and delicious flashy meat, especially as live condition. Bacterial outgrowth in transport water is frequent consequence including some enteric groups like Salmonella spp. and E. coli. The study attempted to know the occurrence of Salmonella spp. and E. coli in water used during live transportation of Pangasius catfish in Bangladesh. Water samples were collected from three different Pangasius catfish transportation channels at 2 hours intervals at on-board transportation vehicle. The collected waters were then plated onto SS and EMB agar plates and obtained 15, 20, and 17 suspected isolates from channel 1, channel 2 and channel 3, respectively. The isolates were confirmed through PCR techniques; Salmonella spp. was found only in Channel 1 while E. coli were found in all the three sampling channels. Among the suspected isolates, 13 were positive for E. coli in channel 1, while 16 in both channel 2 and channel 3. Among the suspected isolates, 86.54% was E. coli positive, 1.92% was Salmonella positive, and 11.54% isolates was not confirmed. The results indicated that the fishes were contaminated with Salmonella spp. and E. coli species either in the culture systems or during handling and live transportation.

Honey is a natural sweet substance produced by Apis sp. from floral nectar or other plant parts which are gathered, modified and stored in the honeycombs by honeybees. The current research was aimed to analyze the quality parameters of locally available honey. Honey samples of Apis laboriosa and Apis mellifera were collected during spring of 2019 & 2021 and autumn 2021 from the Bagmati province, Nepal. Samples were analyzed their physicochemical and phytochemical properties. The result shows that, the pH was ranged between [4.467 0.0306 - 5.05 0.02], rheological studies showed Newtonian flow and pseudo-plastic type of Non-Newtonian flow, specific optical rotation was ranged between [(+) 5.75 0.4684 - (-) 12.71 0.234], specific gravity was ranged between [1.35 0.00017 - 1.409 0.00022], moisture content was ranged between [19.2% - 25%]. Secondary Metabolite screening showed the honey samples possesses flavonoids, saponins, glycosides, tannins, amino acids, protein and reducing sugar. Total phenolic content was ranged between [1.0427 - 6.86288] gm GAE/Kg honey while total flavonoid content ranged between [0.016755 - 0.353132] gm QE/Kg Honey. IC50 obtained from DPPH assay ranged between [649.6465 - 9867.1617] ppm. Properties and qualities of honey are affected by seasonal factors and various floral sources. The samples were in positive correlation between flavanoid content, phenolic content and their respective anti-oxidant potency.

Published: July 2022

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common opportunistic pathogen causing a wide range of infections; pneumonia, urinary tract infection, bacteremia, and liver abscesses. It infects primarily immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. It presents itself as an antibiotic-resistant bacterium, especially for third-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems, creating serious global challenges. Therefore, this cross-sectional study was conducted in B & B Hospital, Lalitpur to screen the distribution of carbapenem resistance K. pneumoniae through ertapenem and to assess the minimum inhibitory concentration of imipenem for screened carbapenem resistance K. pneumoniae. From 3447 different clinical samples collected according to standard guidelines, K. pneumoniae was identified using standard microbiological techniques; staining and a panel of biochemical tests. The antibiotic susceptibility test of the isolates was performed by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method as per CLSI 2018 guidelines. The screening of carbapenem resistance was assessed by using ertapenem disc and the MIC of imipenem for carbapenem resistance and intermediate was performed using an Epsilometer. A total of 85 K. pneumoniae were identified and their antibiotic susceptibility test revealed that ceftriaxone was the least effective antibiotic. The number of MDR, carbapenem-resistant and intermediate isolates was 51, 46, and 3, respectively. The MIC of imipenem through an Epsilometer from ertapenem resistant and intermediate revealed that 31, 5, and 13 isolates were resistant, intermediate, and sensitive respectively. These findings showed the inconsistency in the detection of carbapenem-resistant isolates in routine microbiology laboratories and further support the other tests for the detection of carbapenem resistance as suggested by CLSI.
Pandemic demolitions: The unrecognized Bedouin villages in southern Israel and the ongoing housing crisis
Authors: Abu Obaid Huda , Kremer Elianne
Published: July 2022

This Update reports on the continued eviction policy that the State of Israel has been leading towards the Bedouin of the Negev-Naqab, a situation existing since the establishment of the State in 1948 and deepened during the Covid-19 pandemic. The housing crisis for Bedouin indigenous citizens and communities has long been urgent and dire, as the State of Israel continues to deny the existence of thirty-five Bedouin villages that are unrecognized and thus lack basic infrastructure like electricity, sewage services, water connections and garbage disposal. With little access to health services, these communities continue to be transparent on the map and in national statistics. Members of the Negev Coexistence Forum for Civil Equality, an Arab-Jewish organization established in 1997 by Arab and Jewish residents of the Naqab to provide a platform for a joint fight for civil rights equality, detail these historic and ongoing housing injustices, supported by powerful photos from the exhibition Recognized: Life and Resilience captured by Bedouin women.
Housing for all, understood by few: Colloquial narratives from Delhi
Authors: Janu Swati , Shahdadpuri Anushka , Cociña Camila
Published: July 2022

In this conversational piece, the authors reflect on their process of designing an interactive toolkit, named ‘Kaun Hai Master? Kya Hain Plan’ (Hindi for ‘Who is the Master? What is the Plan?’), in a step towards linguistic decolonisation. It was developed as a part of the Main Bhi Dilli (Hindi for ‘I’m Delhi too’) Campaign—a civic society campaign in Delhi formed to inclusively reimagine the latest Master Plan for Delhi 2041. The toolkit deconstructed the technocratic documents in English that represent Delhi’s Master Plans, and present a more inclusive alternative to the typical top-down processes behind formulating them. It was developed keeping in mind the communities who are typically left out of planning processes. Drawing from the experience of the workshops conducted using the toolkit, emergent narratives are offered to discuss methods in which key terms and concepts related to housing can be broken down to inform, and align with, people’s struggles in asserting their right to the city. The authors discuss outcomes from the workshops that may enable us to think of ways to embed learnings from on the ground experiences in policy and planning frameworks. Simultaneously, they urge for the expansion of vocabulary located within a particular place and its people.

Latin Elephant is a London-based charity that works with migrant and ethnic groups in processes of urban change, and which has had a critical role in articulating the voices of traders threatened by displacement in the context of the Elephant and Castle redevelopment plans over the last decade. In this Lexicon Conversation, members of Latin Elephant discuss with RHJ the different ways in which language, vocabularies, solidarity, memory and translation have played out in their work in South London, both in relation to the use of English vis-a-vis other native languages, but also in terms of the technical language of planning in relation to intersectional urban struggles on the ground.
Vecinas ≠ neighbours: Language politics in the struggle for housing in Barcelona
Authors: Rivera Blanco Carla , García-Lamarca Melissa , Ferreri Mara
Published: July 2022

This Conversation emerges from Radical Housing Journal collaborators’ curiosity and reflections about the growing use of the term vecinas —in English, neighbour— among housing movements in Barcelona in recent years. From our participation in the fight for the right to housing in this city, we wanted to more deeply explore the dynamics behind the word vecinas through a conversation with three housing activists based in Barcelona’s Sant Andreu neighbourhood. From their experiences and activism, they explain the meanings of vecinas, to what extent its use signals a discursive turn, the reason for its feminisation and the convergences and divergences —and also the inclusiveness / exclusivity— in its use by different groups. Finally, they reflect on what vecinas has meant during the Covid-19 pandemic and the ‘no return to normality’.
Crowdfunding property in downtown São Paulo: The case of FICA fund
Authors: Cymbalista Renato , Endo Fabiana , Fontes Roberto , Millan Rodrigo
Published: July 2022

Brazilian housing policies have been historically based on private property. There is no national policy or fund for rental, and with few exceptions like the program for affordable housing in the city of São Paulo, local policies do not address this issue either. In 2015, a group came together in São Paulo to think about non-speculative property in Brazil. Some points they converged on included: the will to go beyond the outcry over segregation and gentrification; the awareness that regular private property traded on the market cannot meet social demands nor lead to a just city; the idea of ​​offering solutions to the State, instead of simply demanding solutions from public authorities; a desire to reframe the relations between theory and practice in urban studies. Since then, the response has been experimental and incremental, the product being the carving of FICA, a fund run by a non-profit – the Community Property Association. Since 2017, it has run a flat in downtown São Paulo, donated by early supporters, and rents it at non-speculative prices. In 2021, FICA bought a second flat, fully crowdfunded, and is also experimenting with social investments for shared housing. Currently, FICA controls four properties in different tenure regimes. The text describes FICA’s short and intense history as a unique organization in Brazil. The article hacks the country’s property regulation in order to promote socially progressive and non-speculative models of real estate property.
Homelessness in Southern California: Street-Level Encounters with the State and the Structural Violence of Performative Productivity
Authors: Nevárez Martínez Deyanira
Published: July 2022

For the unhoused, the criminalization of their existence amplifies their entanglement with the state. Drawing on interviews and over 200 hours of ethnographic observations in Southern California, US, this paper focuses on everyday interactions between street-level bureaucrats and unhoused residents to examine when and how discretion is exercised and how unhoused residents experience these actions. It elucidates the ‘performative productivity’ employed by street-level bureaucrats to perpetuate ‘the myth’ that housing is available and that the central reason we still have homelessness is that unhoused individuals are service resistant. Performative productivity is a set of practices employed by actors including frontline government workers, non-profit workers, and interfaith and other volunteers as the terms of service. They include setting up meetings, filling out countless forms that require invasive sharing of information, signing up for waitlists that go nowhere, and surrendering rights and often accepting an externally imposed moralistic framework. If a person wants any services at all the terms are non-negotiable, thus compelling the unhoused to participate in the performance or risk loss of eligibility for any housing and non-housing services they have been able to attain, as minuscule or limited as these may be. I contend that this is tantamount to state violence. To make salient this point, I include a series of vignettes that present the street-level presence of the state in the lives of unhoused individuals and places it in a global context to highlight the ways in which the system is arbitrary, unhelpful, and potentially fatal.
Editorial: Valuing housing in the normalised crises: Resistance, fatigue and lexicons of struggle

Published: July 2022

In the continuum of intersecting housing crises, the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic are still testing individual and collective capacities to survive displacement, surveillance, precarisation and policing. Issue 3.2 emerges in the context of normalised new and old crises; both from and within the fatigue and normalisation of current ‘exceptional conditions’ and their implications for housing activists and engaged academics, and from the search for places and languages of resistance as sites for transformation.

Authors: Singh Gauresh , Dr Reena , Paswan Anil Kumar , Rath Amrita
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: Low back pain is a very troublesome and common issue among patients irrespective of age and sex and is very difficult to manage with conservative management. It can lead to disability and mental issues. Methods: After ethical committee approval, a prospective, randomised, double-blind comparative study on 40 patients aged 20-70 years, suffering from lumbar radicular pain was carried out by two different approaches i.e., conventional transforaminal and Kambin’s triangle approach and epidural steroids were administered. Change in pain intensity using the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale was recorded as our primary outcome. Change in functional status using Oswestry Disability Index and Patient Satisfaction Score were our secondary outcomes. Any adverse event, complication, failure was also noted. Results: Multiple logistic regression showed no difference in pain relief or improvement of functional status due to variable differences like the age, sex, disc level or the type of approach. Conclusion: Both approaches of transforaminal epidural steroid injection were effective in reducing pain and increasing functional status significantly. There was no significant difference in their effectiveness and neither was superior to the other. Keywords: Low back pain, transforaminal approach, Kambin’s triangle approach
Anesthesia Management for Craniosynostosis Surgery
Authors: Özlü Onur
Published: July 2022

Craniosynostosis is premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures. In isolated craniosynostosis, surgical procedures are applied to ensure normal brain development and normal cognitive functions, to correct cosmetic deformities in order to prevent psychosocial negative consequences. The fact that they are mostly infants, combined with significant blood loss in the perioperative period, makes these cases challenging for the anesthetist. Ensuring airway safety, coping with metabolic complications related to blood transfusions and infusion of electrolyte fluids, preventing hypothermia, postoperative pain management, treatment of nausea and vomiting are the main subjects of anesthesia management. Excellent results can be obtained with proper preoperative planning, monitoring and timely blood and fluid infusion. Keywords: Craniosynostosis, anesthesia, neurosurgery

Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: This prospective study aimed to determine whether low flow anesthesia (LFA) has an effect on emergence agitation in women who underwent laparotomic gynecologic surgeries. Method: Sixty four female patients were enrolled in this prospective randomized study. The patients were randomly allocated into two groups: Group 2 and Group 0.5. The fresh gas flow (FGF) rate was set at 4 L min-1 in both groups, initially. When all patients reached 1 minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane, the FGF rate was reduced to 2 L min-1 in Group 2 and 0.5 L min-1 in Group 0.5. For Group 0.5, vapor was closed 15 minutes before the end of surgery, while it was closed at the end of the operation for Group 2. At the end of the surgery, the FGF rate was increased to 4 L min-1. Emergence agitation was assessed using the Riker Sedation Agitation Scale (SAS) in the post-anesthesia care unit at 5, 10, 20 and 30th minutes. Results: Emergence agitation was observed in 5 patients, no significant difference was found between two groups. For all evaluation times, number of patients with SAS=4 was significantly higher in Group 0.5, while the number of patients with SAS<4 was significantly higher in Group 2 (p<0.05). Conclusion: The number of patients who are calm and cooperative was higher in LFA. Keywords: Emergence agitation, general anesthesia, fresh gas flow
Parametric Scaling of a Lower Limb Model According to Body Height in OpenSim

Published: July 2022

The standard preprocessing for simulations in OpenSim requires experimentally acquired motion data of an individual. This paper presents an approach for scaling musculoskeletal OpenSim models using an estimation of body measures according to the body height from the MMM Reference Model, instead of a recorded static pose of a subject. In this way, the data acquisition effort should be reduced using data from existing motion databases. For a first validation of the approach, 1) a pre-study is carried out to evaluate the estimations of the body segment lengths from the MMM Reference Model and 2) a gait study to compare the kinematics of a scaled model using experimental data with a scaled model using our scaling approach. The errors between real and estimated body dimensions are around 10 % resulting in up to 10° differences between the joint angles of the differently scaled models. In general, the scaling approach shows the potential of reducing effort in the simulation preprocess.
Optimization Strategy of Community Public Living Space Based on Emotional Interaction

Published: July 2022

As the most closely connected space in daily life, community public living space is the material carrier for residents to carry out various activities. The rapid development of community leads to the weakening of community public life, which leads to a series of problems. Community public living space has the characteristics of mixing, stage and transition. It is mainly manifested in the alienation and fission of social space such as community neighborhood space, psychological space, cultural space and public space. Grasp the perceptual characteristics of residents' life and the perceptual order of community space, guide residents' perceptual actions with vivid perceptual space, then release the elasticity, activity and viscosity of space, and establish a multi space governance community, so as to realize the integration and unity of community spatial structure and social structure production.Combining with the current community development trend and related research progress, this paper tries to build the concept of community public living space based on emotional interaction. Taking Guangzhou, Nanjing, Xi 'an and other urban communities as examples, the social users were investigated from different angles such as children's playground, epidemic prevention at home, and emotional interaction of community environment. Investigate the pain points and demands of community public living space at present, dig out the essential reasons behind them, and provide relevant data support for the later design optimization of community public living space. The gradual integration of public life and public space will meet the living needs of community residents, promote the integration of urban community space resources, stimulate the development vitality of existing communities and innovate new lifestyles.
