Our study aims to analyze the change in coverage of health issues awareness, printed on the front page of Indian E-Papers (The Hindustan Times and The Times of India) for the pre-and- peri coronavirus period. The collected news articles are examined by performing the Latent Dirichlet Allocation algorithm. The sentiment analysis is performed to analyze the change in the emotions aroused from news articles. The outcome regarding the pre-coronavirus period reveals that the focus of the e-papers was mostly on politics, crime, and economy whereas, in the peri-coronavirus period, the e-papers are focusing more (i.e. 40 % topics) on publishing the news related to disseminating the awareness about the Coronavirus disease. The priority of news topics includes the active number of cases, medical facilities, COVID-19 testing. The outcome regarding sentiment analysis reveals that negative sentiments are prominent in the peri-coronavirus period due to fear of the outbreak of the virus.

Authors: Sathye Milind , Goundar Sam , Bhardwaj Akashdeep
Published: March 2022

Prior studies have found that mobile cloud computing could bring substantial cost savings to firms, ultimately resulting in reduced transaction cost to customers. Despite this, financial firms in Fiji are slow adopters of mobile cloud computing. The study identifies the challenges faced by financial firms in the adoption of mobile cloud computing to advance the literature on innovation adoption with evidence from a unique context – a Pacific island country. The context is important as the issues are likely to be similar in other developing and remote island countries but the extant research is largely confined to developed countries. Our findings suggest that the lack of mobile cloud computing policy, infrastructure constraints, and security constraints, among others are the main barriers to the adoption thereof. The study contributes by presenting a revised model based on factors that emerged from the study.

Published: March 2022

Credit scoring, aiming to distinguish potential loan defaulter, has played an important role in the financial industry. To further improve the accuracy and efficiency of classification, this paper develops an ensemble model combined extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) and deep neural network (DNN). In the method, training set is divided into different subsets by bagging sampling at first. Then, each subset is trained as a feature extractor by DNN and the extracted features is taken as the input of XGBoost to construct the base classifier. At last, the prediction result is the average of outputs of different base classifiers. In the training verification process, three credit datasets from the UCI machine learning repository are used to evaluate the proposed model. The outcome shows that this model is superior with a significant improvement.
An Analysis of Route Duration Times in Vehicular Networks Considering Influential Factors
Authors: Renato de Assis Danilo , Junior Joilson Alves , Wille Emilio Carlos Gomes
Published: March 2022

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are part of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and their main objective is to provide communication between vehicles. As self-organizing and configuring networks, with decentralized control, their performance is totally dependent on the route duration times. This study proposes an analysis of the route duration times in vehicular networks, considering three influential factors: speed, density, and travel orientation. Simulation experiments corroborate that the route duration times increases in denser networks and when vehicles travel in the same direction. However, contrary to common sense, unexpectedly, it is demonstrated that the route duration times in realistic vehicle environments do not decrease as the vehicle speed increases due to the mobility restrictions in this environments (stops at traffic lights and road crossings, braking to avoid collisions, acceleration and deceleration).

The Impact of Virtual Integration on Innovation Speed
Authors: Tang Yan , Zhang Ping
Published: March 2022

In the current environment, rapid innovation has become an essential source of time-based competitive advantage. Based on the theory of organizational information processing, this work explores the effects of virtual integration on product innovation speed in a competitive environment. Samples of Chinese manufacturing enterprises provide evidence in this study. The results show that the effects of virtual integration in different degrees vary. Among them, information sharing plays an active role in innovation speed, which is weaker in a highly competitive environment. The effect of knowledge collaboration on innovation speed is positive and becomes stronger in a highly competitive environment. The results also show that the moderating roles of inter-organizational guanxi are different. When inter-organizational guanxi is close in a highly competitive environment, the effects of information sharing and process integration on innovation speed become weaker. Nevertheless, the relationship between knowledge collaboration and innovation speed gets stronger in such a context.

Published: March 2022

The financial viability of dairy farms, established under the third phase of the Dairy-Cattle Importation Project in Sri Lanka, is assessed in this study. The data were obtained from a primary survey. The results of the Stochastic Frontier Approach revealed that the mean technical efficiency of farms was 44.9%. The average milk production of these farms was found to be lower than the expected production and the average cost of production of milk was higher than the average farm-gate price. Even though the financial performance of medium-scale farms was marginally better than the small-scale and large-scale farms, the difference was not statistically significant. The study indicates the need and the potential to improve the production efficiency of dairy farms established under the Dairy Cattle Importation Project to make them financially viable.

Published: March 2022

Optimal transcriptional programming needed for CD4 T cells to protect against influenza A virus (IAV) is unclear. Most IAV-primed CD4 T cells fit Th1 criteria. However, cells deficient for the Th1 “master regulator,” T-bet, although marked by reduced Th1 identity, retain robust protective capacity. In this study, we show that T-bet’s paralog, Eomesodermin (Eomes), is largely redundant in the presence of T-bet but is essential for the residual Th1 attributes of T-bet–deficient cells. Cells lacking both T-bet and Eomes instead develop concurrent Th17 and Th2 responses driven by specific inflammatory signals in the infected lung. Furthermore, the transfer of T-bet– and Eomes-deficient Th17, but not Th2, effector cells protects mice from lethal IAV infection. Importantly, these polyfunctional Th17 effectors do not display functional plasticity in vivo promoting gain of Th1 attributes seen in wild-type Th17 cells, which has clouded evaluation of the protective nature of Th17 programming in many studies. Finally, we show that primary and heterosubtypic IAV challenge is efficiently cleared in T-bet– and Eomes double-deficient mice without enhanced morbidity despite a strongly Th17-biased inflammatory response. Our studies thus demonstrate unexpectedly potent antiviral capacity of unadulterated Th17 responses against IAV, with important implications for vaccine design.
Colorimetric and fluorescent TRAP assays for visualising and quantifying fish osteoclast activity

Published: March 2022

Histochemical detection of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity is a fundamental technique for visualizing osteoclastic bone resorption and assessing osteoclast activity status in tissues. This approach has mostly employed colorimetric detection, which has limited quantification of activity in situ and co-labelling with other skeletal markers. Here we report simple colorimetric and fluorescent TRAP assays in zebrafish and medaka, two important model organisms for investigating the pathogenesis of bone disorders. We show fluorescent TRAP staining, utilising the ELF97 substrate, is a rapid, robust and stable system to visualise and quantify osteoclast activity in zebrafish, and is compatible with other fluorescence stains, transgenic lines and antibody approaches. Using this approach, we show that TRAP activity is predominantly found around the base of the zebrafish pharyngeal teeth, where osteoclast activity state appears to be heterogeneous.

Authors: Etowa Josephine , Omorodion Francisca , Mbagwu Ikenna , Etowa Egbe , Ghose Bishwajit
Published: March 2022

Background

The African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) men living in Canada share a heightened risk of infection by Human Immunodeficiency Virus and other sexually transmitted illnesses (STIs) and the associated risky behaviours such as suboptimal use of family planning services such as condom use. The African, Caribbean and Black (ACB) heterosexual men living in Canada are disproportionately exposed to HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. The present paper aims to assess the relationship between knowledge, attitude and use of condom with diagnosis of HIV and STIs among ACB heterosexual men in Ontario.

Design and Methods

This was a cross-sectional study on 430 participants consisting of black heterosexual men living two communities, Ottawa and Windsor in Ontario. The outcome variables were ever being diagnosed with HIV (Yes/No) and other STIs (Yes/No). Data were analysed using descriptive, and logistic regression techniques.

Results

Findings indicated that 70.20% did not have good knowledge of HIV, 68.10% had positive attitude towards condom use, and 62.82% were not regular condom user. Men who reported experiencing difficulty in accessing healthcare services had significantly higher odds of reporting HIV and STI diagnosis. Men with positive attitude towards condom use had lower odds of both HIV (odds ratio= 0.48, 95%CI=0.30,0.76) and STI diagnosis (odds ratio= 0.27, 95%CI=0.08,0.90). Similarly, condom users also had lower odds of both HIV and (odds ratio= 0.21, 95%CI=0.09,0.49) STI diagnosis (odds ratio= 0.62, 95%CI=0.39,0.99).

Conclusions

A large proportion of the sample with positive attitude to condom use was not a reflection of the large sample who did not have correct knowledge of HIV. Several factors were also found to be associated with heightened odds of being diagnosed with HIV and other STIs. The most notable of these factors were experiences of difficulty in accessing healthcare and utilisation of condoms.
A 12-year experience in endobronchial intervention using rigid bronchoscopy - account of a tertiary referral centre
Authors: Bartlett-Pestell Sam , May James , Sharma Ashutosh , Alonzo Sunshine , Barnes Natalie , Madden Brendan P.
Published: March 2022

We describe our experience of rigid bronchoscopy and endobronchial intervention at a single tertiary centre over a 12-year period. All rigid bronchoscopy procedures between July 2008 and July 2020 (inclusive) were reviewed. All procedures were performed in cardiothoracic theatres by a designated team under general anaesthesia. 2135 rigid bronchoscopies were performed on 1301 patients aged between 18 and 93 years. Complications occurred in 24 (1.12%) procedures. There was one fatality (0.05%). Haemorrhage >100mls occurred in seven (0.33%) all of which were successfully managed endobronchially. Ten procedures (0.5%) were complicated by pneumothorax and an intercostal drain was required for eight. Five patients required intensive care admission post operatively, all of whom were subsequently discharged from hospital. One patient had stent migration. To the best of our knowledge, this is amongst the largest single centre collection of data available for endobronchial intervention using rigid bronchoscopy. We show that rigid bronchoscopy is a safe and effective procedure when performed in a high-volume specialist centre with designated lists involving a specialist multidisciplinary team.
Pathophysiologic Mechanisms and Potential Biomarkers in Diabetic Kidney Disease
Authors: Jung Chan-Young , Yoo Tae-Hyun
Published: March 2022

Although diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease eventually requiring chronic kidney replacement therapy, the prevalence of DKD has failed to decline over the past 30 years. In order to reduce disease prevalence, extensive research has been ongoing to improve prediction of DKD onset and progression. Although the most commonly used markers of DKD are albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate, their limitations have encouraged researchers to search for novel biomarkers that could improve risk stratification. Considering that DKD is a complex disease process that involves several pathophysiologic mechanisms such as hyperglycemia induced inflammation, oxidative stress, tubular damage, eventually leading to kidney damage and fibrosis, many novel biomarkers that capture one specific mechanism of the disease have been developed. Moreover, the increasing use of high-throughput omic approaches to analyze biological samples that include proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics has emerged as a strong tool in biomarker discovery. This review will first describe recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of DKD, and second, describe the current clinical biomarkers for DKD, as well as the current status of multiple potential novel biomarkers with respect to protein biomarkers, proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics.
Cardiac complications of malnutrition in adolescent patients

Published: March 2022

Eating disorders are common. Between 1% and 2% of adolescent females and 0.5% of males suffer from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Although suicide represents nearly half of the mortality in patients with eating disorders, a majority of the remainder is cardiac arrest, likely secondary to cardiovascular complications of eating disorders such as bradycardia, hypotension, QT interval changes, structural heart disease, and pericardial effusion. Bradycardia is suspected to be secondary to increased vagal tone and is a common finding in patients admitted with disordered eating. Similarly, hypotension and orthostatic abnormalities are common complications due to atrophy of peripheral muscles. Descriptive studies report prolongation of the corrected QT interval (QTc) in these patients relative to controls, albeit within the normal reference range. Structural heart disease is also common, with left ventricular mass reported as lower than predicted in several studies compared to healthy controls. Pericardial effusion is also commonly described, although it is possible that this is underestimated, as not all patients with eating disorders undergo echocardiograms. Further, refeeding syndrome as a result of treatment of eating disorders carries its own cardiac risks. Cardiac complications of malnutrition are common but reversible with appropriate management and recovery. It is imperative that providers are aware of the epidemiology of these complications, as it is only with a high clinical suspicion that proper evaluation including a thorough history and physical examination, electrocardiogram, and when necessary echocardiogram can be performed.

Improving Evolutionary Algorithms and Optimization Techniques using Hybridization
Authors: Singh Vinay , Singh Archana
Published: March 2022

Evolutionary computation is a widely used optimization technique. These algorithms have been applied to numerous problems such as mathematical complex problems and real world problems. The good point about these algorithms is that they give benefits to people who are doing research on very challenging problems that need optimization. Some of the benefits that researchers get are that they are simple to implement and provide a good response to any type of input when the environment is changing at a rapid pace. In real world there are large combinatorial problems that are to be optimized and cannot be solved with exact answers. When these evolutionary algorithms are combined with local search, they provide improved approximation using local search technique. The bad thing about local search used along is that it gets stuck in local optimum, and in this situation the objective function of the problem can be enhanced when the changes are made out of the current state neighbors during the search. This problem gives a way to hybridize the evolutionary algorithms with some other search and optimization methods and also the local search algorithms. Current research paper identifies different ways that can be used for efficiently hybridizing the evolutionary algorithms with other search and optimization techniques to provide optimized solutions to engineering problems especially, the Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN).

El subsidio de la energía eléctrica a nivel nacional en instituciones públicas ha generado mal uso de éste recurso, provocando despilfarro de energía. Se Identifican tres tipos de desperdicio; el que se da por fugas, excesos y uso ineficiente de accesorios para el consumo de la energía eléctrica. Una de las más importante es generada por fugas conocidas como vampiros energéticos. La Secretaría de Energía (Sener) menciona que pueden llegar a utilizar hasta 160 Kwh al año, esto representa aproximadamente 10% del consumo total de energía eléctrica en un hogar mexicano. Aquí se presenta una propuesta educativa socio-ecologica en el Instituto Tecnológico de Tlaxiaco, con el objetivo de educar a las personas sobre los desperdicios eléctricos detectados; mediante herramientas que incluye Kaizen: 5´s, Kamban, Poka-Yoke, basados en la metodología Kizen y Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad (CTS). El Modelo busca que los estudiantes adquieran un nivel de conciencia ambiental, para su implementación en el sistema de los TecNM.

Objectives: To evaluate the estimates of burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in South Asian (SA) region from 1990 to 2019 using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study.
Methodology: Data for this ecological study was extracted from the Global Health Data Exchange query tool for 30 years from 1990 to 2019. Dataset consisted of prevalence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to CVD summarized as estimated number of cases and rate per 100 thousand individuals for Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan and South Asian region.
Results: An increasing trend has been noticed in overall prevalence rate and death rate of CVD in the SA region in the past 30-years from 1990 to 2019. A relative increase of 49.6% was noted in the prevalence rate of CVD per 100,000 population with 3304.2 and 4944.1 cases per 100,000 in the year 1990 and 2019, respectively. Similarly, a relative increase of 30.3% was noted in mortality rate due to CVD with 139.8 and 182.1 deaths per 100,000 in the year 1990 and 2019, respectively. Ischemic heart disease (IHD) remained the highest contributor with 56.51% (1857.9×1000 cases) share to the regional mortalities followed by stroke with 29.77% (978.9×1000 cases).
Conclusion: SA region is experiencing and increasing trend in prevalence, deaths, and DALYs due to CVD. IHD and stroke remained the main contributors to the regional burden of CVD followed by stroke. Targeted preventive measures are required involving all the stakeholders from community to policymakers.
Morphophonemics in the Lamalera Dialect of Lamaholot
Authors: Demon Yosef
Published: March 2022

Every language has differences and similarities in its linguistic systems. This is based on the assumption that the languages used by humans around the world come from one common ancestor. However, there are phenomena which are peculiar to each language. Morphophonemic alternation is a universal phenomenon. This means that all languages have this phenomenon. However, there are interesting peculiarities, for example, the morphophonemic alternations in agglutinative languages differ from isolating languages, tonal languages and inflecting languages. Lamaholot language is is not agglutinative, nor is it anlative (?) nor is it tonal. As a language characterized by neither agglutination, isolation nor tone, Lamaholot language has interesting morphophonemic phenomena to study. There is an elision or elimination of sounds, there is the addition or insertion of sounds, there is the preservation of sounds and certain sounds that are altered due to the addition of other sounds. This uniqueness occurs because Lamaholot Language does not have verb affixes as a strategy for morphophonemic change.

Authors:   Department of Ophthalmology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh, Ahmad Jasmin
Published: March 2022

Purpose: To determine the spectrum of infectious-agent from conjunctival swab and antibiotic susceptibility. To observe the necessity of conjunctival swab culture and sensitivity prior to intraocular surgery as a preventive measure against post operative endophthalmitis in the socio-economic perspective of our country. Method: A retrospective review of microbiological records of conjunctival swab was done for 22 months (From August 2000 to May 2002) in BSMMU, Dhaka, Bangladesh. We selected the culture positive cases for our study. Antibiotic susceptibility of these isolates was determined for fourteen ocular and systemic antibiotics. Result: Among 209 attendant cases, 57 were culture positive. All of them were gram positive bacteria. Most of them were staphylococcus epidermis 47 (82.5%) others were staphylococcus aureus 5 (8.77%); streptococcus viridans 5 (8.77%). There was specific age variation also. All organisms were 100% sensitive to Chloramphenicol. Staphylococcus epidermidis, treptococcus viridans were 100% sensitive to Gentamycin and Ciprofloxacin, while staphylococcus aureus show 80% sensitivity. Organisms were least sensitive to Neosporin. Conclusion: Commonest isolated organism from conjunctival swab is staphylococcus epidermidis (82.5%). All the organism shows full range of sensitivity and no resistance to chloramphenicol; also maximum sensitivity and no resistance to Gentamycin, Ciprofloxacin in our study group and from this it can be conclude that instead of doing random C/S for conjunctival swab we can give prophylactic broad spectrum antibiotic eye drop to starilize conjunctival sac before surgery.
