Authors: - Deepika Gajanan Shastri , - Arun Chandran Ramachandran
Published: September 2024

Solid cancers are abnormal tissues in organ systems without liquid or cysts. Immunotherapy, an advanced treatment option, stimulates the host immune system to destroy cancer cells. Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs) are the main class of immunotherapy, used as direct anti-cancer agents or supportive therapy alone or in combination with other treatments. The trend of immunotherapy use in solid cancers may vary by geographical region and ethnicity. The goal of the study was to assess the drug use pattern of immunotherapy in patients diagnosed with solid cancers in the Indian clinical setting. This was a retrospective study carried out in the Department of Oncology, ESIC MC-PGIMSR, and Model Hospital, Rajajinagar, Bengaluru, for 6 months by collecting the data in the patient medical records from June 2021 to May 2023. A total of 40 samples were collected and statistically analyzed using Microsoft Excel. A total of 40 solid cancer patients received immunotherapy. The majority of the patients were in the 56–65year age category and were male. Lung cancer was the most common solid cancer (20%), followed by oral cancer (17.5%). Metastasis was present in the majority (67.5%) of the study population, with more lymph node metastasis (42.5%). PD-1 inhibitors were used mostly (72.5%), with Nivolumab being the primary drug of choice. Atezolizumab was the major PD-L1 inhibitor drug used in the study population. A statistically significant association between immunotherapy and metastasis of solid cancers was observed in the Chi-square test for independence. The study concluded that immunotherapy drugs were used according to international professional guidelines and the findings agree with the various global experiences and are helpful in similar clinical settings where immunotherapy is used.

Le phénomène des alliances politiques sous la troisième législature en République Démocratique du Congo suscite autant d’interprétation quant à ses constitutions d’une part et surtout à ses respects d’autre part. Il est vrai que, depuis son accession à sa souveraineté nationale et internationale, la République Démocratique du Congo s’est révélée comme un Etat à vocation parlementaire.
Les pratiques traditionnelles de la troisième République révèlent et confirment le recours aux alliances politiques. C’est pourquoi nous avons examiné cette pratique sous la troisième législature pour connaitre les causes qui sont à la base du recours aux alliances politiques et confirmer qu’il était impossible de respecter ces alliances politiques sous la troisième législature en République Démocratique du Congo vue les intérêts que leurs signataires cherchent à gagner.

Published: September 2024

Over the same period, thanks to deep neural networks, particularly in machine translation tasks that fall under natural language process (NLP), there have been major advances. Context is not something that lies well with traditional systems based on statistical models or tranlation memory and they also struggle with the level of fluency in translation. Through the invention of their Transformer models, Vaswani et al. This has also made great strides in improving both precision and performance [28] from 2017.
In this paper, we explore how to adapt pre-trained Transformer models into low-resource languages. For lower-engaged languages, we want to introduce hybrid methods in machine translation systems using multi-task learning and also transfer-learning with different metrics. To address this, we exploit the high-resource languages for training and introduce representation reduction techniques to be able to better handle some low-resourced cases.
Our results show that multi-task training improves BLEU scores by a large margin, especially for more scarce languages such as Swahili and Amharic. Our results exemplify the power of combining effective multi-task training with transfer learning in low-resource language translation.

Authors: - Prateeksha Deshpande , - Dr. N. Ramanjaneyalu
Published: September 2024

Purpose - This study examines the impact of Decision Framing Bias and Mental Accounting Bias on life insurance purchase decisions, specifically during the process of choosing among available alternatives. In the context of rational decision-making, where individuals evaluate all options and select the most optimal one, this research aims to explore how these biases affect the critical stage of selecting from alternatives and their subsequent influence on the final purchase decision.

Design/methodology - The sample was gathered using a simple random sampling technique on investors who have made transactions in life insurance purchases. The data was analysed using SEM PLS with Smart PLS application.

Findings – The study found that decision-framing bias does not significantly affect the stage of selecting the best alternative. In contrast, mental accounting bias was found to have a notable influence on this selection process as well as the final purchase decision. Additionally, choosing among the alternatives as a critical stage of rational decision-making was also observed to have a subsequent impact on the final purchase decision.

Practical implication - The findings can help individual investors to analyse and evaluate their behaviour toward the selection of an insurance policy. Insurance institutions can use this research to understand investors’ behaviour and provide adequate information to insurance buyers before purchasing.

Published: September 2024

Banana is a tropical fruit that has a diverse range of species belongings to the genus Musa and Musaceae family. Pisang Berangan or known as Musa paradisiaca is frequently sliced and fried and sold as popular street food in Malaysia. This produced banana waste from the banana peel that was not fully utilized, however, the peel and pulp of bananas are reported to have dominant antioxidant properties and organic materials. The study was carried out to determine the extraction yield, total phenolic content (TPC), and antioxidant activity of banana Pisang Berangan (Musa paradisiaca) pulp and peel extracted using different extraction solvents; ethanol and methanol at 70 % and 90 % concentrations. The antimicrobial properties were determined using the disc diffusion method (DDM), Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) assays. The highest extraction yield was from banana pulp (28.3 %) extracted using 90 % ethanol, followed by methanol 90 % (27.8 %). The total phenolic content (TPC) of alcoholic-extracted pulp and peel was in the range of 15.1 to 17.7 mg GAE/g. Among both pulp and peel extracts, the ethanol (90 % of solvent) extraction exhibited significantly higher antioxidant activity that has been analysed using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay to determine the IC50. The largest inhibition zone was observed for the ethanol extract of banana peel against Salmonella typhi at a concentration of 500 mg/mL. Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus exhibited the highest value of MIC and MBC while Salmonella typhi was the lowest of MIC and MBC value against banana pulp and peel alcoholic extracts. In general, the greater properties of pulp and peel extracts were obtained by using 90 % ethanol. The present study revealed that both ethanol and methanol extracts of the Musa spp. contain constituents with significant phenolic, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties for food processing explorations and sustainability.

Published: September 2024

Phytophthora palmivora is a natural soil-borne pathogen that infects all parts of the durian tree. It was first reported in 1939 and is still a major problem in durian cultivation. With the increased awareness of the risks of synthetic fungicides usage, the focus of this study is to determine the efficacy of Streptomyces sp. and Bacillus sp. as singular and mixed usage in controlling P. palmivora using drench and spray application methods at the nursery stage. Thus, we aim to identify the relationship of the variables. Microbe treatments consist of; Control, Streptomyces sp. (108 cfu/mL), Bacillus sp. (1010 cfu/mL) and Streptomyces sp. + Bacillus sp. (1010 cfu/mL). The application method was by drenching and spraying method. The experiment consisted of 8 treatments in 4 replications using RCBD Design. Data were computed using SAS to assess descriptive analysis, test of a normality, analysis of variance, multiple comparisons and Pearson correlation at a 95% probability level. The mixture is grouped together with treatment Bacillus sp. in the mean separation using Tukey’s Honestly Significant (HSD). The mixture of Streptomyces sp. and Bacillus sp. was the best in controlling the disease at 19.56 mm lesion growth and 74.35% protection percentage. Here treatment Bacillus sp. has a lesion growth of 28.93 mm and 62.05% protection percentage. All treatments containing microbes had a significant difference compared to control treatments (76.23 mm). As for the application method; the drenching method had a significantly higher plant leaf area of 724.7 cm2 and leaf fresh weight of 18.43 g compared to the spraying method. As for the Pearson correlation coefficient, it is seen the leaf fresh weight (P = <.0001; r = 0.71728) had a significantly strong positive correlation with leaf area. Further studies are needed to verify the effect of Streptomyces sp. and Bacillus sp. at the field level, where these microbes will be subjected to current climate conditions.

Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia del Síndrome de Burnout (SBO) en profesionales sanitarios del Ecuador y analizar su asociación con factores sociodemográficos y laborales. Materiales y métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio observacional de corte transversal que incluyó a profesionales sanitarios de todo el Ecuador. La información se recopiló mediante un cuestionario digital, previa obtención del consentimiento informado explícito. Para la recolección de variables sociodemográficas se utilizó un cuestionario específico y para la evaluación del Síndrome de Burnout (SBO) se aplicó la prueba de Maslach, validada en el contexto sudamericano. Resultados: La prevalencia del Síndrome de Burnout (SBO) fue alta, destacándose principalmente en la dimensión de despersonalización (95%) y fatiga emocional (47%), y en menor medida en la autorrealización (11%). El 9% de los participantes mostró afectación concomitante en las tres áreas evaluadas, representando la forma más severa del SBO, mientras que el 42% presentó afectación en dos áreas. No se encontraron relaciones significativas con el sexo, pero sí una mayor prevalencia en profesionales más jóvenes, aquellos con un mayor número de pacientes y en los residentes. Conclusiones: El Síndrome de Burnout (SBO) constituye un problema crítico en los profesionales sanitarios, con potencial para generar entornos propensos a errores. La alta prevalencia observada subraya una situación alarmante. Se ha demostrado que los profesionales jóvenes carecen de herramientas adecuadas para afrontar condiciones adversas, lo que incrementa su susceptibilidad al SBO. Por lo tanto, es imprescindible implementar estrategias de intervención preventiva en salud mental para anticipar y mitigar estos efectos.

The shift from inpatient to community-based psychiatric care has reduced hospitalizations, reserving them for severe cases. Nevertheless, length of stay (LOS) in psychiatric inpatient care has great influence on various outcomes, ranging from patient satisfaction and quality of life, to acting as an economic burden. This study aims to identify one-year predictors for LOS in a voluntarily-admitted Romanian psychiatric cohort. A sample of 56 patients with serious mental illnesses from “Prof. Dr. Alexandru Obregia” Clinical Psychiatry Hospital in Bucharest, Romania was included. Socio-demographic and clinical data were collected, and disease severity, aggression, and treatment adherence were measured using established scales. The mean patient age was 48.8 years, with an average of 21.6 days of hospitalization. The only significant one-year predictor of longer LOS was the total number of previous admissions (p=0.038). Other factors, including sociodemographic variables or clinical parameters, did not show significant predictive capacity. The study’s limitations, such as the small sample size and single-center data collection, suggest that future research should include larger, culturally diverse samples to enhance the understanding of LOS predictors in psychiatric care.

Introduction. Bipolar disorder (BD) presents significant diagnostic and management challenges due to its fluctuating episodes of mania, hypomania, and depression, often accompanied by other affective symptoms. It substantially impairs social and occupational functioning and is associated with high disability and mortality rates globally. Despite varying prevalence internationally, recent studies suggest consistent occurrence across different regions, complicating the management of bipolar depression. Current guidelines, such as those from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), provide tailored pharmacological interventions based on individual factors like prior treatment response. This study aims to assess recent advancements in pharmacological management of bipolar depression. Method. Our research aimed to identify relevant randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses on bipolar depression treatment. We conducted searches on ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and the European Clinical Trials Register, focusing on studies published from January 2019 to January 2024. Using the search query “Bipolar depression AND treatment” on PubMed, we selected completed RCTs with reported results from the retrieved articles. Out of 371 results, 8 were thoroughly reviewed based on their title and abstract. Results. Three studies meeting our criteria demonstrated efficacy in alleviating depressive symptoms and improving clinical scales. These studies were included in our analysis, and their characteristics are summarized in a table. Discussions. Limited research explores innovative treatments for BD, primarily examining drugs previously used for schizophrenia. Cariprazine, a dopamine D3 and D2 receptor partial agonist and serotonin receptor 5-HT1A partial agonist, showed antidepressant and pro-cognitive effects in clinical trials. Lumateperone, modulating dopaminergic, serotoninergic, and glutamatergic activity, demonstrated significant improvements in depressive symptoms compared to placebo. Lurasidone, a second-generation antipsychotic, exhibited efficacy with manageable adverse events. This review underscores the potential of these treatments in managing bipolar depression. Conclusions. Managing bipolar depression is challenging due to its high comorbidity rates and complexity. While drugs like cariprazine, lurasidone, and lumateperone show promise in addressing its clinical manifestations, further research is needed to identify safer alternatives with comparable efficacy to traditional antipsychotics.
Implementation of Roll-on Roll-off Shipping Program Davao, Philippines – Bitung, Indonesia
Authors: Mamentu Michael
Published: September 2024

In April 2017, President Jokowi and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte agreed to open a trade cruise between General Santos Davao and Bitung, North Sulawesi. The goal is not only to strengthen relations between fellow ASEAN member countries, but also to realize the ASEAN Economic Community agreement in a more concrete form.  This deal was later named "Roll-On Roll-Off (RORO) shipping. However, this Roll-On Roll-Off cruise only runs once. The Super Shuttle RoRo ship from Davao carrying 5 containers of various Philippine products arrived and returned from Bitung Port without carrying any goods. In 2019, President Jokowi ordered that the General Santos/Davao – Bitung Roll-On Roll-Off cruise be reactivated. However, many things must be fixed so that the goals of this agreement can be achieved. Therefore, on the basis of this fact, this study seeks to find all the instrumental weaknesses of the implementation of this program. The ultimate goal is to provide recommendations for the right program design so that the Roll-On Roll Off Cruise can provide results in accordance with what is expected by the Governments of both countries.
A Non-GPS Return to Home Algorithm for Drones using Convolutional Neural Network

The increasing vulnerability of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in both military and civilian applications to Global Positioning System (GPS) spoofing attacks poses significant threats to security and safety like hijacking, collision, and potentially human casualties. Despite extensive research on countermeasures, existing solutions remain ineffective, as they rely on GPS data that is often the target of the spoofing to Return to Home (RTH) or the availability of ground sensors. This article proposes a drone’s RTH mechanism based on non-GPS data utilizing Aerial Images and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The drone, as it flies, collects frames and the moving directions (degrees) to use it later for training the CNN model that will enable the drone to autonomously navigates back to its homebase (RTH). Several experiments have been conducted using the proposed method and it demonstrates promising results. The average distance of RTH distance to home base is 20 to 40 meters using 50 epochs only. The Mean Absolute Error (MAE) on the converted degrees (Cosine and Sin) reached below 0.02 during training. The findings not only offer a viable solution to the GPS spoofing problem but also significantly enhance the drone’s RTH reliability and improve the robustness of the drone’s ability to RTH.

Pineapples generate approximately 75% waste, each with its unique characteristics. Pineapple leaves have the potential to be utilized in the development of new fibres or raw materials. This study aims to present the design of a microstrip patch antenna that utilizes a pineapple leaf substrate to achieve a 5 GHz frequency resonant. The antenna design was simulated using CST software. The manufacturing process of the pineapple leaf substrate involves boiling, drying, blending, filtering, and mixing composite compositions. The dielectric permittivity at a frequency of G-band was determined using the waveguide technique, revealing an outstanding permittivity of 5.03 at 5 GHz. Subsequently, a microstrip patch antenna was fabricated and characterized to validate the concept. The results demonstrate an acceptable agreement between the simulation and the fabricated substrate at 5 GHz in term of return loss.
