Published: May 2022

A new five-parameter distribution is defined and studied. The new model is referred to as the Kumaraswamy exponentiated Burr XII distribution. The new distribution includes eleven special models, namely, the Kumaraswamy exponentiated log-logistic, Kumaraswamy exponentiated Lomax, Kumaraswamy Burr XII and Kumaraswamy log-logistic distributions among others. Various structural properties of this model including moments, moment generating function, incomplete moments, order statistics and Rényi entropy are derived. The maximum likelihood method is used for estimating the model parameters. We illustrate the improved performance of the proposed distribution over other distributions available in the literature when modelling two real data sets.

sample measured using wide-depth Hyper Suprime-Cam i-band imaging. This deep imaging allows us to probe the sizes and structures of these galaxies, which we compare to a control sample of star-forming and quiescent galaxies drawn from the LEGA-C Survey. We find that post-starburst galaxies systematically lie ∼0.1 dex below the quiescent mass–size (half-light radius) relation, with a scatter of ∼0.2 dex. This finding is bolstered by nonparametric measures, such as the Gini coefficient and the concentration, which also reveal these galaxies to have more compact light profiles than both quiescent and star-forming populations at similar mass and redshift. The sizes of post-starburst galaxies show either negative or no correlation with the time since quenching, such that more recently quenched galaxies are larger or similarly sized. This empirical finding disfavors the formation of post-starburst galaxies via a purely central burst of star formation that simultaneously shrinks the galaxy and shuts off star formation. We show that the central densities of post-starburst and quiescent galaxies at this epoch are very similar, in contrast with their effective radii. The structural properties of z ∼ 0.7 post-starburst galaxies match those of quiescent galaxies that formed in the early universe, suggesting that rapid quenching in the present epoch is driven by a similar mechanism to the one at high redshift.

X-ray observations of low-mass stars in open clusters are critical to understanding the dependence of magnetic activity on stellar properties and their evolution. Praesepe and the Hyades, two of the nearest, most-studied open clusters, are among the best available laboratories for examining the dependence of magnetic activity on rotation for stars with masses ≲1 M
⊙. We present an updated study of the rotation–X-ray activity relation in the two clusters. We updated membership catalogs that combine pre-Gaia catalogs with new catalogs based on Gaia Data Release 2. The resulting catalogs are the most inclusive ones for both clusters: 1739 Praesepe and 1315 Hyades stars. We collected X-ray detections for cluster members, for which we analyzed, re-analyzed, or collated data from ROSAT, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, and XMM-Newton. We have detections for 326 Praesepe and 462 Hyades members, of which 273 and 164, respectively, have rotation periods—an increase of 6× relative to what was previously available. We find that at ≈700 Myr, only M dwarfs remain saturated in X-rays, with only tentative evidence for supersaturation. We also find a tight relation between the Rossby number and fractional X-ray luminosity L
X/L
bol in unsaturated single members, suggesting a power-law index between −3.2 and −3.9. Lastly, we find no difference in the coronal parameters between binary and single members. These results provide essential insight into the relative efficiency of magnetic heating of the stars’ atmospheres, thereby informing the development of robust age-rotation-activity relations.
Unveiling Nongray Surface of Cloudy Exoplanets: The Influence of Wavelength-dependent Surface Albedo and Cloud Scattering Properties on Retrieval Solutions
Authors: Wang Fei , Fujii Yuka , He Jinping
Published: May 2022

Direct-imaging spectra hold rich information about a planet’s atmosphere and surface, and several space-based missions aiming at such observations will become a reality in the near future. Previous spectral retrieval works have resulted in key atmospheric constraints under the assumption of a gray surface, but the effect of wavelength-dependent surface albedo on retrieval has not been shown. We explore the influence of the coupling effect of cloud and wavelength-dependent surface albedo on retrieval performance via modeling suites of Earth-like atmospheres with varying cloud and surface albedo parameterizations. Under the assumption of known cloud scattering properties, the surface spectral albedos can be reasonably recovered when the surface cover represents that of Earth-like vegetation or ocean, which may aid in characterizing the planet’s habitability. When the cloud scattering properties cannot be assumed, we show that the degeneracy between the cloud properties and wavelength-dependent surface albedo leads to biased results of atmospheric and cloud properties. The multiepoch visible-band observations offer limited improvement in disentangling this degeneracy. However, the constraints on atmospheric properties from the combination of the UV band (R ∼ 6) + visible band (R ∼ 140) are consistent with input values to within 1σ. If short-bandpass data are not available, an alternative solution to reduce the retrieval uncertainties would be to have the prior constraints on the planetary cloud fraction with less than 20% uncertainty.

Published: May 2022

The evolution of a magnetic cloud (MC) from the inner heliosphere to the outer heliosphere has been investigated for decades. Although many studies have reported on the evolution of MCs, there is no relevant statistical study about the continuous parametric evolution of the flux rope model of the Gold–Hoyle solution for MCs from near the Sun to 5.4 au. Based on the velocity-modified uniform-twist force-free flux rope model, in this study we explore the evolution with heliodistance for some parameters from 139 MCs observed by the Helios, Wind, and Ulysses spacecraft. We find a negative/positive correlation between the central axial field strength/the radius of the cross section and the heliodistance. The angle between the axis of the MC and the Sun–spacecraft line (Θ), the expansion velocity (v

e
), and the poloidal velocity (v

p
) did not show any evident tendency to increase or decrease with the heliodistance. In addition, the number of turns of the magnetic field lines per unit length winding around the magnetic flux rope, τ, shows a weak decrease with heliodistance. Also, there is an evident negative correlation between τ and the radius of the flux rope, R. The axial magnetic flux (F

z
) and the magnetic helicity (H

m
) show a tendency to decrease within 1 au, after which they remain almost unchanged until 5.5 au. Furthermore, we do not find any evident difference in the parametric properties of MCs on and outside the ecliptic.
The Timing of Potential Last Nucleosynthetic Injections into the Protosolar Molecular Cloud Inferred from 41Ca–26Al Systematics of Bulk CAIs
Authors: Ku Yaray , Petaev Michail I. , Jacobsen Stein B.
Published: May 2022

Short-lived radionuclides (SLRs) provide important information about the chronology of the early solar system. Among them, 41Ca, due to its decay to 41K with a half-life of only 0.1 Ma, is particularly valuable in constraining the timescales and origins of both SLRs and the formation of the oldest solar system materials, the Ca–Al-rich inclusions (CAIs). The initial abundance of 41Ca in the solar system, expressed as the (41Ca/40Ca)I ratio, is the key to unveiling the origin of this nuclide. Here, we report a new solar system (41Ca/40Ca)I ratio of 2.0 × 10−8 derived from the K isotope compositions of two CAIs. This new ratio is about four times higher than the previous value inferred from a mineral isochron. Such a high (41Ca/40Ca)I ratio in the CAIs exceeds that expected for the protosolar molecular cloud by ∼1000×, implying very late injection of the 41Ca (and possibly other SLRs) into the protosolar molecular cloud. The correlated enrichments of 41Ca and 26Al in the bulk CAI samples hint at a common stellar origin of both SLRs. The injection time estimated from our new data depends on the stellar source—it ranges from 0.6 Ma for a Wolf–Rayet wind to 1.0 Ma for a TP-AGB star ejecta.

BACKGROUND: Since the COVID-19 outbreak occurred, the stunting prevention program in Indonesia has faced many challenges. Integrated Health Posts as the places where mothers can have their baby’s growth measured were closed and restricted.

AIM: The purpose of this study is to describe stunting prevention program during the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of the Community Health Center workers.

METHODS: This research used the qualitative research method. Its primary and secondary data were collected through semi-structured open-ended questionnaire and in-depth interviews with 20 Community Health Center workers and officials of the Health Office of Surakarta City. This study was conducted on April 12, 2021 at Universitas Sebelas Maret, Indonesia. The data of the research were manually analyzed to categorize the thematic analysis based on its objectives. Purposive sampling was used determine the participants for its in-depth interviews. They consisted of 20 health care workers.

RESULTS: During the pandemic, the implementation of stunting prevention activities was hampered due to the government’s focus on the COVID-19 prevention program, the lack of commitment and participation of social workers, the invalid measurement from social workers, the social restrictions, and the fear of community gathering. The health cadres reported the findings using text messages rather than book measurements to follow the social restriction regulation. Some also did home visits to measure the toddlers’ growth. A commitment to tackle stunting and a workflow is therefore in demand so that stunting-related activities are not affected by the pandemic.

CONCLUSION: Obstacles in the stunting prevention program during the pandemic were felt by cadres, health centers, and mothers of toddlers where they could not do the regular weighing. Thus, coordination and collaboration of various sectors are required to handle the stunting management.

BACKGROUND: The first of 0–28 days presents a crucial stage in infant health and well-being. In Indonesia, it is estimated that 60–80% of all newborn deaths occur within the first 6 days of life. Antenatal education regarding neonatal care is needed in this setting.

AIM: This study aims to pilot an Android-based smartphone application (app) to assess effectiveness in improving pregnant Indonesian women’s knowledge about neonatal care.

METHODS: A quasi-experimental study conducted from November 2019 to January 2020 with 31 participants in each of the experimental and control groups (n = 62). Participants were pregnant women in the third trimester who obtained antenatal care (ANC) at the Community Health Center in Banguntapan 1 in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Participants completed a structured questionnaire and were given the “My Baby Care” (MBC) app. Data collection occurred 3 times in the form of (1) pre-intervention activities and training on use of the MBC app; (2) follow-up activities using WhatsApp groups during the intervention; and (3) post-intervention data collection was conducted through Google Forms questionnaire. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests to compare pre- and post-intervention groups, and independent sample t-tests to compare participants’ knowledge status between the two groups.

RESULTS: Participants were on average 28.7 years old in the experimental group and 29.9 years old in the control group. The majority had a high school level education, were not currently working, got married over the age of 20, and had more than two children. Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in neonatal care knowledge of the participants between the experimental and control groups. We found that health education delivered through the smartphone app was effective in increasing participants’ knowledge about neonatal care (MD = 4.354, p = 0.030).

CONCLUSION: The use of an Android-based smartphone app was found to be effective in increasing mother’s knowledge about proper neonatal care. Digital strategies are innovative and should be considered for the implementation of health education in ANC programs in Indonesia and beyond.

Global optimization of hyper-parameters in reservoir computing
Authors: Ren Bin , Ma Huanfei
Published: May 2022

Reservoir computing has emerged as a powerful and efficient machine learning tool especially in the reconstruction of many complex systems even for chaotic systems only based on the observational data. Though fruitful advances have been extensively studied, how to capture the art of hyper-parameter settings to construct efficient RC is still a long-standing and urgent problem. In contrast to the local manner of many works which aim to optimize one hyper-parameter while keeping others constant, in this work, we propose a global optimization framework using simulated annealing technique to find the optimal architecture of the randomly generated networks for a successful RC. Based on the optimized results, we further study several important properties of some hyper-parameters. Particularly, we find that the globally optimized reservoir network has a largest singular value significantly larger than one, which is contrary to the sufficient condition reported in the literature to guarantee the echo state property. We further reveal the mechanism of this phenomenon with a simplified model and the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems.

By upgrading medical facilities with internet of things (IoT), early researchers have produced positive results. Isolated COVID-19 patients in remote areas, where patients are not able to approach a doctor for the detection of routine parameters, are now getting feasible. The doctors and families will be able to track the patient's health outside of the hospital utilizing sensors, cloud storage, data transmission, and IoT mobile applications. The main purpose of the proposed research-based project is to develop a remote health surveillance system utilizing local sensors. The proposed system also provides GSM messages, live location, and send email to the doctor during emergency conditions. Based on artificial intelligence (AI), a feedback action is taken in case of the absence of a doctor, where an automatic injection system injects the dose into the patient's body during an emergency. The significant parameters catering to our project are limited to ECG monitoring, SpO2 level detection, body temperature, and pulse rate measurement. Some parameters will be remotely shown to the doctor via the Blynk application in case of any abrupt change in the parameters. If the doctor is not available, the IoT system will send the location to the emergency team and relatives. In severe conditions, an AI-based system will analyze the parameters and injects the dose.

Authors: Mustafa Faisal , Weda Sukardi , Masykar Tanzir
Published: May 2022

The most critical requirement of an online class is the availability of the internet for a teacher and students alike. The objective of this study was to find out how student internet access correlates to teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching an online class. This quantitative study used categorical data obtained using two questionnaires, one of which was student internet access consisting of three constructs, and the other is teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching an online class. The questionnaires were distributed online to in-service teachers who had completed or almost completed an online teacher professional development program in four major universities in Indonesia. As many as 158 teachers completed both questionnaires. The data were analyzed using Spearman Correlation Coefficient to reject the null hypothesis at the significance level of 0.05. The correlation was calculated for seven teacher categories, i.e. teachers in urban areas, teachers in rural areas, elementary school teachers, junior high school teachers, senior high school teachers, experienced teachers, and inexperienced teachers. The research results show that teacher-reported student internet access correlates with teachers’ self-efficacy in teaching an online class. The level of correlation ranges from weak to strong correlations, with moderate correlations for most teacher categories. The implication of this study for teacher education is also discussed.

Published: May 2022

With the development of the Internet, various forms of learning resources continue to flood the public, especially the promotion of video learning plat-forms. More and more people use their spare time to learn what they need. However, there is a general lack of intelligence in online learning platforms at present, which greatly reduced the utilization of online learning platforms and their educational advantages. The innovation of this paper is proposing and explaining that with the integration of big data, online education and ar-tificial intelligence, the contradiction of online education has turned into one between the lack of intelligence in online education and the demand of users. To solve this contradiction, this paper researches from the perspective of an algorithm. Course recommendation is the core algorithm of online ed-ucation. However, the current recommendation algorithm based on collabo-rative filtering has the disadvantages of cold start and useless recommenda-tion content. In this paper, Apriori and ACO algorithms in artificial intelli-gence are studied, and the proposal of an algorithmic framework named Posi-tion-Apriori-ACO brings forth new ideas in solving online education prob-lems. The Position-Apriori-ACO algorithm can effectively carry out course recommendation and learning path planning, and also provides a research di-rection for the intelligent development of online education.

Authors: Xu Zhihua
Published: May 2022

China mainly relies on higher education to cultivate sci-tech talents. The decision makers and workers of higher education face the important task of cultivating high-quality sci-tech talents that benefits the society. However, the current cultivation system for the innovation ability of high-quality sci-tech talents has some defects, and the practical experience is severely lacking for the cultivation of big data ability of high-quality sci-tech talents. Therefore, this paper explores the cultivation path for innovation ability of sci-tech talents in the background of big data. Firstly, a pre-survey was carried out on the factors affecting the innovation ability of sci-tech talents in the background of big data, an evaluation index system was established for the said ability, and the cultivation path was given for that ability. Next, the gradient boosted decision tree (GBDT) was combined with neural network (NN) into a hybrid approach, which integrates the merits of both methods. The hybrid approach was adopted to analyze and evaluate the factors affecting the innovation ability of sci-tech talents. Then, the authors further explored whether the basic ability, technology ability, and management ability of big data analysis promotes the optimization of the cultivation path for innovation ability of sci-tech talents. Through experiments, the authors obtained the regression analysis results on the innovation ability of sci-tech talents, and put forward suggestions on how to optimize the cultivation path for innovation ability of sci-tech talents.

It is anticipated that more fog nodes (FN) will be connected to the IoT paradigm to improve the quality of service and meet the requirements of emerging IoT applications. Typically, the owner manages these FN nodes opening up promising doors towards new business opportunities. Thus, this paper considers fog computing driven network that consists of a set of FNs, distributed on the network edge to serve cloud clients.  Cloud service provider (CSP), in turn, can offer new services, define a profile for each service, and set generate revenue.  However, new schemes should be developed to make this dynamic business model economically feasible. In this context, we propose a new intelligent scheme for service trading, in which a new genetic algorithm is developed for selecting a set of optimal clients that maximize CSP’s profit using game theory for setting the service price. Game theory captures the conflict between cloud clients and CSP, where clients and CSP try to maximize their respective utilities. While CSP attempts to maximize profit, each client tries to negotiate for a lower service price.  Simulation results stress that the CSP can maximize profit by utilizing computational resources efficiently and selecting service requests with the highest possible bid.
Norms, rationality, and relevance under the “guise of the good”
Authors: Molina Yohan
Published: May 2022

In several works, Veronica Rodríguez-Blanco has proposed an approach to the normativity of legal rules and intentional rule-following in the frame of the “guise of the good” model of intentional action. She argues that, on this approach, Raz’s conception of legal authority implies that legal rules cannot be rational guides for intentional actions. I will argue that Rodríguez-Blanco’s proposal does not succeed in addressing the practical relevance of legal rules. However, I shall argue that a weak version of her criticism of Raz still holds. Thus, this discussion provides a suitable framework from which I will propose a reflection on the normativity of legal rules. This reflection aims to show how legal norms can count as rational guides for intentional agents without being irrelevant in practical reasoning.

The goal of this chapter is to present lessons learned and insights gained from managing the Ivar Aasen project. Lessons were collected through 28 interviews with key project members and contractors. Findings show that Ivar Aasen was executed under considerable uncertainty regarding the market situation, access to suppliers and was completed under very strict time schedule. The project was complex with over 140 suppliers and subcontractors that were globally distributed. The project was also the first major project for the operator company. Findings shows that the underlying context of the project was a source of several challenges encountered during execution. In spite of these challenges, the project was completed on budget and on schedule and now the field is in full operation. The paper presents a narrative description of the challenges encountered as well as the factors that contributed to project success. Based on insights gained, the paper presents 18 recommendations that should be adhered to succeed with projects that exhibits similar characteristics as Ivar Aasen project.

In order to respond more effectively to the health of young people in South Africa, in 2017 the National Department of Health of South Africa released the National Adolescent and Youth Health Policy. The Policy focused on a range of health problems and recommended interventions for delivery through multiple settings and government departments. It also included specific recommendations to empower and involve young people in policy and programme implementation. Adaptation of a short course on adolescent health in lowand middle-income countries, organized annually by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the World Health Organization, was piloted in 2017 as one means of contributing to the implementation of the Policy. The Adolescent and Youth Health Policy short course was subsequently offered in 2018 and 2019, attracting 96 participants working on adolescent health in various organizations at national and provincial levels throughout the country. Most participants (75%) successfully completed the course, as assessed by the completion criteria that had been defined. The range of topics for the assignments selected by the participants over the 3 years reflected both the content and intent of the Policy. The evaluations of the short course indicate that it helped to create legitimacy and strengthen the capacity of various constituencies, both of which are important prerequisites for policy implementation.
Lichen Planopilaris Arising between Two Linear Surgical Scars

Published: May 2022

Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is a type of lymphocytic cicatricial alopecia, which can occur at unusual sites. It can be difficult to diagnose at an early stage and may be misdiagnosed as seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis in early stages before alopecia occurs. We report a rare case in which alopecia occurred between two long surgical scars on the scalp several years after surgery. Dermoscopy and biopsy led to a diagnosis of LPP. The localization of the lesions in our case suggests that oxidative stress from the failure of lymph flow might have induced LPP. Oral roxithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory was effective at stopping its progression.

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic commenced in China in December 2019 and has since become a major public health problem. India, as a country, faced many challenges in preparing for the coronavirus pandemic. Due to the novelty of the disease, high infectivity rates, and constant risk of health-care workers (HCWs) getting infected, the training of the first responder, including primary care physicians, in the management of COVID-19 is paramount importance. This study analyses the benefits of a short training session imparted to HCWs involved in a makeshift COVID-19 hospital.

Methodology:

A structured training program consisting of lectures and workshops was formed for the HCWs detailed for the COVID-19 hospital. A questionnaire was prepared and administered to HCWs pre- and post-training sessions. Paired t-test was used to determine the mean difference, and P < 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.

Results:

A total of 260 HCWs participated in the study. The doctors gained the most in the critical care aspect, especially in oxygen requirement for the patient and knowledge of oxygen delivery by various apparatuses. The nurses showed a significant improvement in knowledge regarding recommended drugs for severe COVID cases (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

HCWs are required to man the COVID facility at very short notice. The article showed the utility of short, structured, and quick training for HCWs. Regular training sessions are important in this regard, and there is a requirement for standardization of the training program and curriculum.

Objective:

This study aimed to compare the LaxaPlus Barij® and polyethylene glycol (4000) in pediatric (children 2–15 years old) functional constipation.

Methods:

The present study is a randomized clinical trial. The study population included patients with functional constipation aged 2–15 years who were referred to the gastrointestinal clinic of Imam Hossein hospital in Isfahan in 2019. Patients were randomly assigned into two treatment groups. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. The significance level in the present study is considered <0.05.

Findings:

Sixty children with functional constipation were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria in this study. The present study results showed no significant difference between demographic characteristics, including age, weight, and gender of children with constipation in the two groups (P > 0.05). The present study results showed that both groups’ mean stool consistency and the number of bowel movements increased significantly after the intervention (P < 0.05). However, the number of bowel movements in the first group was significantly higher than in the second group (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

The present study results showed that both drugs effectively treat children with functional constipation. However, after 8 weeks of intervention, the frequency of bowel movements, pain intensity, and abdominal pain in the group LaxaPlus Barij® was more effective. However, the level of satisfaction did not differ significantly between the two groups.

Published: May 2022

Objective:

Professional nurses, pharmacists, and medical practitioners are responsible for disposing of medicines within health-care facilities. South African regulations stipulate that medicines should not be disposed of through sewage systems because of the potential impact on patients and the environment. Consequently, our objective was to determine knowledge and practices among health-care professionals (HCPs) in South Africa and the information they provide to patients regarding the safe disposal of unused/expired/damaged medicines to provide future guidance with identified concerns.

Methods:

A descriptive study was conducted among 165 HCPs at 16 primary health-care clinics in two subdistricts of the city of Tshwane in Gauteng Province through self-administered questionnaires.

Findings:

Only 23.5% of HCPs stated that they participated in destroying medicines within their facilities. More than half (65.1%) also reported that they always counsel patients regarding the safe storage of their medicines in their homes, with 27.9% indicating they counsel patients on the safe disposal of their medicines during consultations. More than half (65.1%) also reported that patients never asked about the disposal of medicines. Of concern is that incineration (31.9%), flushing down the toilet (20.6%), and flushing down the sink (9.9%) were regarded by HCPs as correct disposal methods, while 9.6% stated that they did not know the correct methods. In addition, 71.1% reported never receiving training regarding the safe disposal of medicine.

Conclusion:

There is an urgent need to educate HCPs regarding appropriate medicine waste disposal in South Africa. This can start with including this topic in the curriculum of HCPs, including pharmacists, and continuing post qualification.

Let

(M_j)_{j=1}^\infty\in\mathbb{N}

and

(r_j)_{j=1}^\infty\in\mathbb{R}^+

be increasing sequences satisfying some mild rate of growth conditions. We prove that there exists an entire function

f\colon \mathbb{C} \rightarrow\mathbb{C}

whose behavior in the large annuli

\{ z\in\mathbb{C} : r_{j}\cdot\exp(\pi/M_{j})\leq|z|\leq r_{j+1}\}

is given by a perturbed rescaling of

z\mapsto z^{M_j}

, such that the only singular values of

f

are rescalings of

\pm r_j^{M_j}

. We describe several applications to the dynamics of entire functions.
