Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is one of the biggest pandemic causing acute respiratory failure (ARF) in the last century. Seasonal influenza carries high mortality, as well. The aim of this study was to compare features and outcomes of critically-ill COVID-19 and influenza patients with ARF.Methods: Patients with COVID-19 and influenza admitted to intensive care unit with ARF were retrospectively analyzed.Results: Fifty-four COVID-19 and 55 influenza patients with ARF were studied. Patients with COVID-19 had 32% of hospital mortality, while those with influenza had 47% (P=0.09). Patients with influenza had higher Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, Clinical Frailty Scale, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II and admission Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores than COVID-19 patients (P<0.01). Secondary bacterial infection, admission acute kidney injury, procalcitonin level above 0.2 ng/ml were the independent factors distinguishing influenza from COVID-19 while prone positioning differentiated COVID-19 from influenza. Invasive mechanical ventilation (odds ratio [OR], 42.16; 95% confidence interval [CI], 9.45–187.97), admission SOFA score more than 4 (OR, 5.92; 95% CI, 1.85–18.92), malignancy (OR, 4.95; 95% CI, 1.13–21.60), and age more than 65 years (OR, 3.31; 95% CI, 0.99–11.03) were found to be independent risk factors for hospital mortality.Conclusions: There were few differences in clinical features of critically-ill COVID-19 and influenza patients. Influenza cases had worse performance status and disease severity. There was no significant difference in hospital mortality rates between COVID-19 and influenza patients.
Notes on the life history and taxonomy of Cerurina marshalli (Noctuoidea: Notodontidae: Cerurinae)
Authors: Mulvaney Lydia R. J.
Published: March 2022

The final instar larvae of the Notodontidae species, Cerurina marshalli (Hampson, 1910) are described and illustrated in detail, with notes on habitat, host-plants and distribution of the species. Photographs of the eggs, larvae and adults are included with observations on characteristic larval defensive behaviour. Based on striking differences in the larvae and adult genitalia, Cerurina marshalli argentata (Gaede, 1934) is transferred from the genus Cerurina to Afrocerura and synonymised with Afrocerura cameroona (Bethune-Baker, 1927) (=Afrocerura argentata comb. nov., syn. nov.).
The highly invasive Siam Weed, Chromolaena odorata (L.) King and Robinson (Asteraceae), as a seasonal prime nectar source for butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea) and other insects (Insecta: Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera) in West Africa
Authors: Sáfián Szabolcs
Published: March 2022

During mass-blooming in the dry season, the highly invasive Siam Weed, Chromolaena odorata, appears to be a prime nectar source for butterflies and a range of diurnal moths and other insects in West Africa. About 10 % of the West African butterfly fauna were recorded visiting C. odorata flowers between Sierra Leone and Western Cameroon as a result of opportunistic observations between 2010 and 2021. Predators on flower-visiting insects, such as crab-spiders and Flower Mantises, also seem to have become adapted to the newly available food-source. These records indicate that beyond the well-known adverse effects of C. odorata invasion to regeneration of natural vegetation on disturbed ground and the exposure of natural rainforest habitats to wildfires because of the plant’s susceptibility to fire, the diet shift of a considerable proportion of pollinators could imply further threats to biodiversity, such as reducing the reproductive rate of forest plants pollinated by butterflies. Specific studies further targeting the subject are urgently needed.

Papilio vanessa Fabricius, 1793, nomen oblitum, is a synonym of Liptena septistrigata (Bethune-Baker, 1903), nomen protectum (Papilionoidea: Lycaenidae: Poritiinae)
Authors: Vane-Wright Richard I.
Published: March 2022

The nominal taxon Papilio vanessa Fabricius, 1793, for long thought to be an unrecognised species of Riodinidae from the Americas, is shown to be a synonym of the West African lycaenid butterfly Liptena septistrigata (Bethune-Baker, 1903), syn. nov. Papilio vanessa is however a nomen oblitum, as it has not been applied to any recognised taxon since 1889. Thus Liptena septistrigata has priority so long as this subjective synonymy is considered valid and, within this context, L. septistrigata should be treated as a nomen protectum.

Authors: Kudrya-Marais Elena Vladimirovna , Olalere Folasayo Enoch
Published: March 2022

This study investigates the symbolism of colour in Hinduism. With a specific focus on the Hindu community in eThekwini, South Africa, the case study employed a qualitative research method to investigate the roles and cultural associations of colour in Hindu religion, and how it has been adopted and integrated into the cultural practices. Two samples of population were selected using a purposive sampling technique: namely, 10 religious leaders from 10 eThekwini Temples and 10 senior citizens (ages 55 and above) in the Hindu community who visit Temples and practise Hinduism on a regular basis. The participants were interviewed using open-ended questions and the collected data was analysed using thematic analysis. Seven themes emerged from the data analysed which include 1) the main colours in Hindu religion; 2) avoided colours; 3) cultural norms of colour in the Hindu community; 4) personal attitude toward colours; 5) benefits of colour therapy; 6) use of chakras; and 7) the healing properties of colours. The findings additionally revealed that colour symbolism is still widely used among Hindu communities in South Africa. Hence, this study creates awareness and promote the application of the symbolism in professional practices, especially in design field.
Functionality of the N400 component and its application in studies of figurative language processing: a systematic review
Authors: Neves Edgard Pereira , Cravo André Mascioli , Carthery-Goulart Maria Teresa
Published: March 2022

Electrophysiological studies have increased in the field of Neuroscience of Language as they allow for detailed analyses of the temporal course of language processing. In figurative language research, the most employed technique is Event Related Potentials (ERPs). The N400 is the most studied ERP component and is usually described as a marker of difficulty or effort in semantic processing. However, many controversial results about N400 have been found. Two main reasons can be raised for these results: (1) methodological difficulties in controlling psycholinguistic variables that are known to affect language processing and (2) different interpretations regarding what the N400 indexes. In this systematic review our main goals are: (1) providing a general panorama of studies on the N400 component applied to metaphoric and idiomatic language and (2) discussing the different views adopted by researchers regarding functional N400 theories and how ERP studies of figurative processing fit into each of those theories. We found two main interpretations about the process which is indexed by the N400: N400 as a marker of lexical access or as a marker of semantic integration. We also found that this dichotomy has an impact on the choice of models to explain the results about figurative language processing.
O processamento de cognatos e falsos cognatos por brasileiros falantes de português, inglês e francês
Authors: Barcelos Laura , Arêas da Luz Fontes Ana Beatriz
Published: March 2022

Entender como os indivíduos que falam mais de uma língua reconhecem e processam palavras de diferentes idiomas tem sido questão central nas pesquisas em multilinguismo. Nas últimas décadas, um grande número de estudos coletou evidências de que o reconhecimento de palavras em uma língua pode ser influenciado pelo conhecimento de palavras de outra língua, ou seja, o acesso lexical dos multilíngues seria não-seletivo, em que ambas as línguas estão ativas, independentemente da língua-alvo do contexto. Assim, o presente estudo buscou investigar a influência das L1 e L2 sobre a L3 em uma população trilíngue. Contou-se com uma amostra de 26 brasileiros trilíngues de português (L1), inglês (L2) e francês (L3) de proficiência diversa. Os participantes realizaram dois experimentos de decisão lexical em francês, o primeiro composto por estímulos em francês que eram cognatos com português, inglês ou ambas as línguas, e o segundo composto por homógrafos interlinguísticos nas mesmas condições. Os resultados nos levam a conclusões semelhantes aos estudos anteriores, dando suporte à hipótese de acesso lexical não-seletivo, demonstrando a existência de um efeito cognato na análise de percentual de erro no caso dos cognatos e dos homógrafos interlinguísticos. Contudo, não foi possível encontrar um efeito cognato trilíngue como o esperado e tampouco verificar o efeito cognato nos tempos de reação. Esses resultados são discutidos, refletindo-se sobre a influência da proficiência, do tempo e da frequência de uso das línguas e do número de participantes do estudo.
Acesso e representação dos substantivos flexionados em número no léxico do português brasileiro
Authors: Rocha Jefferson Alves da , Ferrari Neto José
Published: March 2022

Procura-se investigar aqui os processos de acesso e de representação no léxico mental de palavras flexionadas em número no Português Brasileiro (PB). Observaram-se questões relacionadas às teorias do léxico mental na perspectiva psicolinguística, defendendo-se que tanto o acesso aos itens lexicais quanto a sua representação se fazem por meio de morfemas, nos chamados Full Parsing Models (TAFT; FORSTER, 1975; TAFT, 1994); apresentam-se também os modelos que postulam acesso e representação por meio de palavras inteiras, os Full Listening Models (BUTTERWORTH, 1983); e os modelos que defendem acesso e representação lexical por meio de morfemas e de palavras inteiras, simultaneamente, a depender de questões de frequência, conhecidos por Dual-route Models (CARAMAZZA; LAUDANNA; ROMANI, 1988; SCHREUDER; BAAYEN, 1995; MIMOUNI; KEHAYA; JAREMA, 1998). Em relação ao PB, realizamos um estudo para investigar o acesso e o armazenamento das formas nominais flexionadas em número, visando prover dados acerca de como se dá o acesso e a representação lexical nessa língua. Dois experimentos foram realizados, nos quais se testaram falantes nativos do PB em testes de priming Encoberto em relação às formas regulares e irregulares, respectivamente. Acerca dos resultados, pode-se dizer que um efeito de facilitação significativo entre os primes e os alvos foi encontrado em condições idênticas e plurais em ambos os experimentos. Os resultados também apresentaram um efeito significativo de frequência. Por conseguinte, os efeitos do priming apresentaram interações significativas entre frequência e tipos de plural, sugerindo um modelo de dupla via (DUAL-ROUTE) no PB.
Acesso lexical de bilíngues:
Histórico e perspectivas de pesquisa no Brasil
Authors: Freitas John Morais de , Toassi Pâmela Freitas Pereira
Published: March 2022

Quando uma ou mais palavras nos é(são) apresentada(s) é necessário acessar o léxico mental a fim de reconhecê-la(s) ou identificá-la(s). A esse processo dá-se o nome de acesso lexical. Essa é uma temática em ascensão, pois, ao fazer uma rápida busca no Portal de Periódicos da Capes verificamos que o número de pesquisas em português com o termo “acesso lexical” no título vem aumentando nos últimos 20 anos. No entanto, ainda há espaço para as pesquisas sobre o acesso lexical de bilíngues. No presente artigo, buscamos traçar um paralelo entre o histórico do estudo sobre o acesso lexical bilíngue e as perspectivas para futuras pesquisas, em especial no cenário brasileiro. Para tanto, realizou-se um levantamento de trabalhos de pesquisa nacionais e internacionais indexados na base de dados Periódicos CAPES sobre o tema em evidência. Esse levantamento nos mostrou semelhanças com trabalhos influentes na área, mas também possibilidades em relação a diversificação de metodologias e objetos de estudo.
Formas lexicais desviantes por aprendizes de Português L2
Authors: Baldo Alessandra
Published: March 2022

Este artigo descreve um estudo de natureza qualitativa que investigou dois tipos de formas lexicais desviantes em 23 produções escritas de falantes de italiano que aprendiam português como L2 em um contexto de imersão, subdivididos em dois grupos de proficiência. O objetivo principal foi verificar se haveria uma relação entre o nível de proficiência dos aprendizes e a tipologia de desvios encontrados – desvios por empréstimo e desvios por criação de neologismos. Esperava-se que (i) os aprendizes menos proficientes cometessem mais desvios por empréstimo, dado seu conhecimento linguístico mais limitado da L2, e que (ii) os aprendizes mais proficientes produzissem mais formas lexicais desviantes por criação de neologismos, uma vez que possuíam um maior conhecimento da língua-alvo. Nenhuma das previsões foi confirmada pela análise dos dados, efetuada com o suporte teórico da morfologia construtivista (BOOIJ, 2005, 2010, 2015). Explicações para o resultado obtido são fornecidas, com base em evidência de pesquisa.
A Hybrid Multi-GPU Implementation of Simplex Algorithm with CPU Collaboration
Authors:   University of West Attica, Agiou Spyridonos, 12243, Egaleo, Athens, GREECE, Mamalis Basilis , Perlitis Marios
Published: March 2022

The simplex algorithm has been successfully used for many years in solving linear programming (LP) problems. Due to the intensive computations required (especially for the solution of large LP problems), parallel approaches have also extensively been studied. The computational power provided by the modern GPUs as well as the rapid development of multicore CPU systems have led OpenMP and CUDA programming models to the top preferences during the last years. However, the desired efficient collaboration between CPU and GPU through the combined use of the above programming models is still considered a hard research problem. In the above context, we demonstrate here an excessively efficient implementation of standard simplex, targeting to the best possible exploitation of the concurrent use of all the computing resources, on a multicore platform with multiple CUDA-enabled GPUs. More concretely, we present a novel hybrid collaboration scheme which is based on the concurrent execution of suitably spread CPU-assigned (via multithreading) and GPU-offloaded computations. The experimental results extracted through the cooperative use of OpenMP and CUDA over a notably powerful modern hybrid platform (consisting of 32 cores and two high-spec GPUs – Titan Rtx and Rtx 2080Ti) highlight that the performance of the presented here hybrid GPU/CPU collaboration scheme is clearly superior to the GPU-only implementation under almost all conditions. The corresponding measurements validate the value of using all resources concurrently, even in the case of a multi-GPU configuration platform. Furthermore, the given implementations are completely comparable (and slightly superior in most cases) to other related attempts in the bibliography, and clearly superior to the native CPU implementation with 32 cores.

Using Movie Genres in Neural Network Based Collaborative Filtering Movie Recommendation System to Reduce Cold Start Problem
Authors:   Computer Science Department, BINUS Graduate Program – Master of Computer Science, Bina Nusantara University, Jakarta, Indonesia, 11480, Hansel Aaron Christian , Wibowo Antoni
Published: March 2022

In a recommendation system, a cold start problem occurs when the system is unable to make any inferences for users or items for which it has not yet acquired adequate data. This research proposes a modified version of the Neural Collaborative Filtering model that has revolutionized collaborative filtering recommendation system with its implementation of neural network in the model. The proposed model is called Neural Collaborative Filtering Modified (NCFM). NCFM addresses the cold start problem by reducing the model dependency on users and items interactions with the integration of item feature (movie genres in this case) before the concatenation step in the NCF model. Hit ratio@10 and normalized discounted cumulative gain@10 were used as the evaluation method because they closely represents real-world recommendation scenario. Performance of both models were tested and compared using two movie rating dataset MovieLens1M provided by GroupLens and a modified version of MovieLens1M with significantly less amount of data to simulate the cold start problem called MovieLensCold. The results shows that NCFM can outperforms NCF by more than two times over or around 133% performance increase on MovieLensCold and around 15% increase on MovieLens1M dataset. Keywords— movie recommendation system, cold start problem, collaborative filtering, NCFM, neural network based recommendation system

The increase in knowledge of programming languages is increasingly high due to current business and educational demands, in many cases it has been reflected that advanced knowledge of a programming language for careers in natural sciences and engineering have improved the possibility of getting a decent job with a good working environment. Many universities propose programming courses on a large scale and in a general way so that the student can investigate and deepen the topics, but when the course is carried out without any structure or interface with which the students present a great interest in it, they tend to fail or regularly make basic schedules to only pass the course. That is why a graphical interface system is proposed to improve the teaching of the Python language due to its various functionalities and improve the interest of image processing. Obtaining as results that, of the 100 students and teachers within the branch of natural sciences and engineering, using 9 indicators of satisfaction an average of 6 thus indicating that the graphic interface does help in the process of learning and interaction of the person did the programming and processing of images. It is concluded that the use of graphical interfaces for any type of teaching is quite useful due to the simulation mode that all these have, thus improving the level of interaction of the student and the possibilities of tests that can be carried out before the implementation or design in real. Keywords— GUI, Python, graphical interface, PyQt, artificial intelligence.
EFFECTS OF TRIBUTYLTIN EXPOSURE IN THE MALE MAMMAL’S REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Silva Gontijo Lucília , Jales Moreira Tatiana , Amélia Prates Barreto Nair , Gonçalves Almeida Enedina , Maróstica Elisabeth
Published: March 2022

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the literature describing male mammals' reproductive and sexual parameters exposed to the biocide TBT. Method: A formal computer-assisted search was performed independently by two authors using five online databases and keywords. A manual search of the reference list of the articles found for relevant original articles was also used. We initially identified potentially eligible publications related to the topic of interest through this procedure. The last systematic search resulted in adequate data on TBT toxicity in the mammalian male reproductive tract. Results: Decreases in testicular, epididymal, prostate and seminal vesicle weights were observed at higher TBT ranges. Decreases in serum testosterone levels were reported in some studies, with some histological changes in the surveyed tissues and decreased transcriptional expressions of steroidogenic enzymes. Notably, there were significant reductions in sperm count and motility and increased abnormalities. Conclusions: Further studies are needed to elucidate the precise manner of TBT's deleterious mechanisms of action on the spermatogenesis process. Therefore, a comprehensive survey of TBT levels in food and water sources should also be conducted better to protect susceptible populations from potentially deleterious reproduction effects.

Para ello, se emplea una metodología relacionada con la lingüística cognitiva, que permite explicar los significados vinculados a estas expresiones. El análisis es cualitativo y se ha realizado a partir de los datos que fueron extraídos de videos sobre EIB en el Perú publicados en la plataforma de YouTube. A partir de la muestra extraída, se logró confirmar que los eufemismos acrecientan la idea de pertenencia a una comunidad nativa, al énfasis propio de su naturaleza.
Relato ficcional y relato histórico: la primera novela peruana (1539)
Authors: Coello Óscar
Published: March 2022

La rebelión de Manco Inca en pos de recuperar el vasto territorio de los Andes —que los españoles habían convertido, apenas unos cuatro años antes, en el hispano Reino del Perú— fue una empresa narrada minuciosamente por distintos escritores castellanos del siglo XVI peruano. Relatos coetáneos como el del irreprochable cronista real Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo, avalado por testimonios serísimos, conviven con otros relatos, si bien puntuales, más imaginativos, como el que escribió en el Cuzco, en 1539, Diego de Silva y Guzmán, el hijo del novelista Feliciano de Silva —aquel de «la razón de la sinrazón», en las primeras líneas del Quijote—. En el presente artículo confrontamos estos dos modos de narrar de nuestros primeros escritores castellanos, es decir, el de los relatos (no exentos de fantasía) en donde se busca historiar la verdad y el de aquellos otros donde la ficción desborda al escritor y el texto se convierte en puro discurso literario. Este es el drama de buena parte de los textos coloniales, y su intelección es urgente a la luz de los avances de la moderna teoría de la ficción y de la teoría de los géneros literarios.

Repairing of soft clay Embankment loading method with PVD is a soil improvement system consisting of Embankment loading work, installation PVD, installation PHD, and geotechnical instruments. Preload serves to compress the subgrade. PVD serves to speed up the process of soil compaction. Horizontal drains serves to drain pore water taken from the PVD in a horizontal direction to the outside of the location that improved. Geotechnical instruments function to monitor and record the process and determine the performance of the result improving soil that have been carried out. Embankment loading and PVD (Prefabricated Vertical Drain) are technologies that are often used in the construction world to increase shear strength and speed up consolidation time of soft soils. However, during the installation of PVD using a mandrel it can affected the surrounding soil, causing the soil to become disturbed. The disturbed area is called by Smearzone. Due to the presence of a smear area, analysis and calculations are needed to obtain a consolidation time that is in accordance with field conditions. This analysis aims to compare the decrease of displacement in the settlement plate (SP-124) with modeling in PLAXIS 3D considering using with or without taking into account the effect of the smearzone. The method used in this thesis is the analytical method using Terzaghi theory and the finite element method using PLAXIS 3D. From the results obtained analytically the magnitude of the decrease is 15.252 cm while the results from the PLAXIS 3D analysis without the effect of the smear zone is 15.15 cm and with the effect of the smear zone being, 2 times the dimensions of the mandrel the results obtained are 15.131 cm, 15.133 cm and 15.134 cm, with 3 times the dimensions of the mandrel the results obtained are 15,142 cm, 15,141 cm and 15,14 cm and with 4 times the dimensions of the mandrel the results obtained are 15,144 cm, 15,143 cm and 15,143 cm. The decrease that occurs in the settlement plate 124 in the field is 15.10 cm. So it can be concluded that the calculation of consolidation decrease using analytical theory is relatively close to the decrease in actual results in the field with a percentage difference of 1% decrease. There are differences in settlement due to laboratory data not representing the entire soil layer. Due to the decrease that occurred 15.10 cm, the result of the effect of the smear effect 2 times the mandrel dimension and half of the coefficient of permeability of the original soil with a reduction ratio of 0.2% is the result that is closest to the results of field observations compared to without a smear effect of 0.331%.

The correct understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity play an important role in the theology and praxis of believers. Unfortunately, these implications have not yet appeared in the church’s mission in which every believer is called to proclaims and live the truth of God -- something that cannot be separated from deeds and words. Not just thinking about the concept of going out to send. This article is an integrative effort that has been started by Lesslie Newbigin and David Bosch to change the paradigm of church mission in the world. This article shows that a relation between concept of Trinitarian and mission. With this attempt the church will be able to play a significant role and contextually without losing the important values of the Bible.

Published: March 2022

The narrative about God's Mission always manifests in the space of friendship with the world even after the fall until today's Postmodern era. In today's world, the world is largely globalized and urbanized. The church no longer lives in a closed community with limited interaction. Cultural Networks are interconnected into a system. Yet most churches still grapple with theologically and dogmatically fragmented paradigms. The church needs a friendly spiritual restoration as the body of Christ to meet God's mission with ecumenical energy. This study aims to adapt the relevant mission paradigm through the spirituality of ecumenical friendship in postmodern reality. This study uses a descriptive method with critical and socio-theological discourse analysis. It is hoped that through this research the Church can make more serious observations and position itself as an integralist to become a bridge of friendship in carrying out God's mission in a relevant way.Narasi mengenai Misi Allah senantiasa mewujud dalam ruang persahabatan dengan dunia sekalipun pasca kejatuhan hingga di masa Postmodern sekarang ini. Di masa kini dunia sebagian besar terglobalisasi dan terurbanisasi. Gereja tidak lagi hidup dalam komunitas tertutup dengan interaksi terbatas. Jaringan Budaya saling berhubungan ke dalam suatu system. Namun sebagian besar gereja-gereja masih bergulat dalam paradigma yang terfragmentasi secara teologis dan dogmatis. Gereja memerlukan restorasi spiritual yang bersahabat sebagai tubuh Kristus untuk menyongsong misi Allah dengan energi ekumenis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengadaptasikan paradigma misi yang relevan melalui spiritualitas persahabatan ekumenis dalam realitas postmodern.Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dengan analisis wacana kritis dan sosio-teologis. Diharapkan melalui penelitian ini Gereja dapat melakukan pengamatan yang lebih serius serta menempatkan dirinya sebagai integralis untuk menjadi jembatan persahabatan dalam mengemban misi Allah secara relevan.

Falsafah bangsa Indonesia adalah Pancasila dengan sila pertama “Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa” artinya bahwa warga negara Indonesia merupakan manusia yang ber-Tuhan dalam keberagaman kepercayaan dan agama di Indonesia. Ironis sebagai negara yang berlandaskan Ketuhanan, agama menjadi suatu identitas yang dibanggakan namun kemerosotan moral juga dipertontonkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan dan memposisikan kembali hakikat beragama dalam mewujudkan moderasi beragama di tengah kemajemukan Indonesia. Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif, di mana data dikumpulkan melalui literatur research yang berupa buku maupun jurnal yang berkaitan dengan topik permasalahan tersebut. Agama harus ditempatkan pada ruang pribadi. Hal ini mengembalikan agama sebagai hak asasi manusia yang paling hakiki, tidak ada pemeluk mayoritas ataupun pemeluk minoritas, setiap individu memiliki hak yang sama. Berdasar dari pemahaman tersebut, agama dan hakikat beragama harus diposisikan pada ruang privasi setiap individu, sehingga agama bukanlah ditunjukkan dengan tingkat religuisitasnya semata melainkan lebih kepada tingkat spiritualnya, hubungan pribadi dengan Tuhannya.

SMA Negeri 1 Pabuaran is one of the schools that has implemented the 2013 Curriculum. The change from the KTSP curriculum to the 2013 curriculum certainly changes the value management process. The process of managing report cards carried out is currently less effective and efficient because the process is carried out separately using Microsoft Excel. There is often a difference in the format of report values between subject teachers and homeroom teachers, so homeroom teachers need to change these scores to fit the proper format. The purpose of this study is to design and develop a value management information system using a web-based E-Report and to conduct quality testing using the Expectation Confirmation Model (ECM) method on the information system developed. The system design used in this research is using the Waterfall method so that it is easier to develop and use UML (Unified Modeling Language) for visual system modeling. The results achieved after the implementation of this application make it easier for users (teachers, homeroom teachers, and student parents) to do their work and overcome the difficulties of inputting report values that have been done in schools. The conclusion obtained is that using the e-rapport application can support improvements in work so that the process of inputting values ​​is more effective and efficient. The value of the report becomes more structured and well-documented. The results of the research on the level of user satisfaction with thee-rapport system are in the very good or very satisfied category.
Effects of Temperature and Precipitation on Tea Yield in Turkey
Authors: İRDEM Cemil
Published: March 2022

The study aims to determine the changes in annual tea yield in Turkey between 1975 and 2019 and analyse the yield relationship with temperature and precipitation conditions. Within the scope of the study, statistical relationships between monthly temperature and precipitation data and annual tea yield were examined. In addition, the annual changes and trends in the yearly tea yield were revealed. As a result of the study, a statistically significant positive relationship was determined between annual average, maximum and minimum temperatures and annual tea yield. On the other hand, the relationship between total yearly precipitation and annual tea yield was insignificant. Relationships between temperature and yield are more substantial in summer. A statistically significant increasing trend was defined in tea yield during the 1975-2019 period in the research area. There was a considerable increase in annual average temperatures in the same period but an insignificant increase in precipitation. In the light of these, an increase in tea yield due to temperature rises can be expected in the region by looking at climate change scenarios.
A Study on the Determination of Mechanic Harvest Properties of Some Sweet Cherry Varieties
Authors: OKUR Ersen , ARIN Selçuk
Published: March 2022

Cherry is a hand-harvested fruit due to various difficulties and constraints. This condition results in the use of labor at a high rate. Turkey's annual cherry production is at the level of 724 thousand tons. Various tools or machines that have been developed for cherry harvest have the potential to contribute greatly to the production in this area. The share of the labor required for harvesting in cherry production in the total labor requirement is around 70%. In this research, it was aimed to collect the necessary data to mechanize the cherry harvest by determining the physico-mechanical properties of cherry fruit. As a result of the present study, several physical, biological, and mechanical properties of four sweet cherry variety (0900 Ziraat, Starks Gold, Merton Late, Lambert) were determined and compared in terms of fruit mass, net fruit weight, tensile force, weight, thickness, length, width, sphericity, surface area, volume of fruit, and also weight, width, length, sphericity of seed, tensile force of stalk, stalk length, and weight. Tensile force of fruit, tensile force of stalk and weight of the fruit of 0900 Ziraat variety were found 2.579 N, 7.041 N, 9.592 g, respectively. After the evaluation of the obtained data, it was determined that all four cherry varieties examined were suitable for mechanical harvesting. However, the most suitable variety for mechanical harvesting was found as ‘0900 Ziraat’.
A Case of Complete Heart Block Presenting as Resistant Hypertensive Emergency
Authors:   Department of Internal Medicine. Grand Strand Medical Center, Myrtle Beach, SC, USA, Check Larissa
Published: March 2022

The nationally accepted guideline for hypertension is an elevated systolic and diastolic reading of >130/80. Unmanaged hypertension could eventually lead to hypertensive urgency if a patient’s blood pressure is >180/100 with no signs of organ damage, or hypertensive emergency if their blood pressure is >180/100 and there are signs of organ damage occurring. When a patient presents with hypertensive emergency that is difficult to control despite multiple antihypertensives, this is known as resistant hypertension. Persistently resistant hypertension can also be described as refractory hypertension. Here, we have an African-American gentleman who presented with bradycardia and hypertensive emergency that was refractory to medical therapies. Subsequently, it was found that he was in complete heart block. His blood pressure only improved two weeks after pacemaker implantation and required multiple antihypertensives.

Published: March 2022

We present a case of eustachian valve endocarditis in an elderly male who presented after removal of a central venous access port. This case report also reviews the prevalence of right sided endocarditis, diagnosis, common microorganisms, predisposing risk factors and medical management. Eustachian valve endocarditis was first described in 1986 by Edwards and from 1986 to 2017, only 37 cases have been reported— 46% of which were caused by intravenous (IV) drug use and 24% by indwelling intravenous lines. Other risk factors for the development of eustachian valve endocarditis include rheumatic heart disease, pacemaker wires and immunologic compromise. This case illustrates the importance of recognizing risk factors other than IV drug use in the pathogenesis of right-sided endocarditis, especially in cases involving the eustachian valve
