Authors: Shaikh Imran , V.K. Kadam
Published: October 2022

Initial prediction of any kind of cancer is always advantageous for on-time medical treatment to save the patient's life. The Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) tools using signal processing & image processing methods gained significant attention for immediate & accurate diagnosis using patient’s raw medical data like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Chromatography (CT), etc. The liver cancer early detection & analysis of its grading is an important research problem. In this research, we proposed the two models semi-automatic & automatic frameworks for liver disease classification. The models perform early detection of liver cancer accurately followed by its grading analysis into different stages like stage 1 (T1), stage 2 (T2), & stage 3 (T3). The proposed framework consists of stages like pre-processing, Region of Interest (ROI) extraction, features extraction, & classification. The raw CT scans of the liver are pre-processed to remove the noises using the filtering & contrast adjustment functions. The adaptive segmentation method is designed to using binarization & morphological operations to extract the accurate ROI with the minimum computational burden. For features extraction, the text features extracted using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), shape features using geometric moment, & automatic features using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The hybrid form of features normalized using the min-max technique. For the classifications, we explored the classifiers such as Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), & Long Term Short Memory (LSTM). We investigated the semi-automated & automated systems using the publically available research dataset.

Published: October 2022

The estimation of electrical energy that can be supplied from the renewable energy sources becomes a weighty matter regarding to increasing the share of these sources in the electrical energy sector all over the world. The installed power of power plants in Turkey has reached 100334 MW. Depending on the installed power, progress has been made in the electricity transmission and distribution sector over the years. Thus, there exist 21 distribution regions in electricity distribution in Turkey. Some distribution regions have reached 25 MWs in terms of solar installed capacity. While estimating the electrical energy demand for any distribution region, the total electrical energy that can be supplied by the solar power plants (SPP) in that region should be taken into account. In accordance with the legislation in Turkey, the authorized electricity retail sales company in each distribution region has to enter the daily estimation of the electrical energy, to be obtained from SPPs, located in its own region, on the web site of EPIAS (Energy Markets Operation Joint Stock Company). In this study, the estimation of electricity generation of the 990 kW solar power plant belonging to Osmaniye Special Provincial Administration and located in the town of Cevdetiye for the days 24.08.2021 and 25.08.2021 was carried out with the polynomial regression algorithm. Approximately 85% performance metric was got from the polynomial regression algorithm

Assessment of estuarine water and sediment quality at Cape Hatteras National Seashore and Cape Lookout National Seashore: 2021 data summary.
Authors: Starkey Eric , McCay Daniel , Cooper Chrisopher , Hynds Mark
Published: October 2022

In July 2021 the Southeast Coast Network conducted an assessment of water quality in the vicinity of Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout National Seashores as part of the National Park Service Vital Signs Monitoring Program. Monitoring was conducted following methods developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of the National Coastal Assessment Program (EPA 2010). Laboratory analysis measured chlorophyll a and total and dissolved concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorous. Field measurements included water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and salinity. Water clarity, which requires a Secchi depth measurement, was obtained when possible. All measured parameters were rated as good, fair, or poor based on thresholds set by the EPA (2012). All measured parameters were rated as good, fair, or poor based on thresholds set by the EPA (2012). Water clarity was not calculated at all sites due to the shallow depth of the water in the sound. Of the sites where water clarity could be assessed (5 sites), four measured good and one fair. Sites that were too shallow to measure water clarity had water column conditions that did not preclude light from penetrating to the bottom of the water body so no ecological effects would be expected.Turbidity measurements ranged from 1.0 to 8.0 FNU (Formazin Nephelometric Units) and are good (i.e. < 25 NTU [Nephelometric Turbidity Units]) according to North Carolina Standards (NC Administrative Code 2019). Note that turbidity units of FNU and NTU are roughly equivalent. Chlorophyll a concentration was rated good at 29 sites (97%), and fair at one site (3%). Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) concentration was good at all 30 sites (100%). Dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) concentration was good at all 30 sites (100%). Dissolved oxygen concentration (bottom) was rated good at all 30 sites (100%). A water-quality condition summary index was calculated for each site sampled at Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout National Seashores based on the categorical assessments of chlorophyll a, DIN and DIP concentrations, dissolved oxygen, and water clarity. This summary index indicated good water-quality conditions at all thirty sites (100%). Based on the summary water-quality index rating, overall water-quality conditions at Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout National Seashores during sampling in 2021 were good. For sediment, ecological condition was ranked as good at 30 sites (100%). As a result, no adverse impacts to benthic organisms due to sediment contamination are anticipated at any of the sampled sites. This ranking was assigned according to the 2010 Environmental Protection Agency, National Coastal Condition Assessment (NCCA) thresholds for sediment chemistry.

Published: October 2022

The popularity of herbal products in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic has risen recently. It is believed to be preventive measures to lower the probability of COVID-19 infection and boost immunity. This study explored the knowledge of the Java Island population about COVID-19 and their belief about herbal products and supplements consumption for the prevention of COVID-19 infection. A total of 485 respondents participated in this research. About 84.7% (n = 411) of the participants claimed that they had used herbal products or supplements before the pandemic. Recommendations from friends or relatives (51.1%, n = 248) were the main reason for the respondents to consume herbal products or supplements. Multivitamins (19.6%, n = 95) were the most commonly chosen supplement to increase immunity and reduce the chance of COVID-19 infection. The governments are suggested to provide more evidence-based campaigns to increase population awareness about the use of herbal products and supplements to ensure patient safety.
Material Use in Collaborative Dialogue by Japanese University Students Learning Future Tenses in French as a Foreign Language: A Discourse and Interaction Analysis
Authors: Renoud Loïc
Published: October 2022

This article reports on the use of an experimental material to enable discrimination between the periphrastic future (PF) and simple future (SF) intended for initial level university students in Japan studying French as a Foreign Language. A dyad was filmed using the material in a task on tense choice in short dialogues modelled on Galperin’s procedure. A discourse and interaction analysis were then performed on excerpts of the videoed session where the participants interacted with the material. It was found that the material enabled the dyad to complete the task. Moreover, if the pragmatic effect of the SF was not fully grasped, the analysis nonetheless showed that the participants transformed the linguistic knowledge from the material into metalinguistic resources of their own, and that internalization of the targeted concepts occurred to some extent.
Incongruence Between Learning Style and Written Corrective Feedback Type: Mediating Effect of Implicit Theory of Learning Style
Authors: Jalali Hanan , Rahimi Mohammad
Published: October 2022

Implicit theory (Dweck, 2000) suggests that learners’ theories about the malleability of their individual traits (learning style, here) determine the extent to which they can stretch their learning style (Gregersen & MacIntyre, 2014; Young, 2010) and benefit from the instruction that mismatches their preferred styles. The present study aimed at investigating the extent to which Iranian EFL learners with inductive vs. deductive learning styles would benefit from the written corrective feedback (WCF) that does not match their learning styles (i.e., implicit vs. explicit WCF). The study also examined if their success (or lack of) in style stretching and improving their written accuracy is due to the implicit theory (entity vs. incremental) they hold about their learning style. The result showed that students with an incremental theory significantly improved their written accuracy more than those with an entity theory. Also, the findings revealed that inductive learners were more successful in adapting to the mismatched WCF (explicit) and made greater improvement in their written accuracy than deductive students who received implicit WCF.

Published: October 2022

Green spaces are becoming a dwindling resource in the urban areas of many developing countries where unprecedented rapid urbanization is taking place. The serene and quite areas of the urban environment are being depleted with ever-increased human interference even in the protected areas. The case of Dandora Estates of Nairobi County, which this paper focuses on, presents an interesting diversity of activities that have invaded the otherwise aesthetic and beautiful scene of the urban space, and the situation could be worsened if drastic actions are not taken. This paper dwells on the human activities that dominate the urban green spaces of Dandora, as well as the drivers of them being undertaken there. It brings out these activities in by engaging with the household heads and those found undertaking activities within the UGS. The results show that 84% of the residents who visit UGS in Dandora were driven by; affordability (absence of entry charges). 16% of the residents who do not visit UGS are driven away by majorly due to the insecurity in the area. The finding established that there are several human activities that are practised in and around green spaces in Dandora. They were categorized into three, social, economic, and environmental activities. The study recommended the following: Development of UGS policy and management plans. There is a need to develop an effective and articulate UGS policy framework and management plans for UGS planning, governance and management that will be reviewed and updated after every 3-5 years; Development of UGS policies, regulations, and standards; The county government in collaboration with the police department should invest in enhancing and providing security through installation of street lights in order to prevent crimes

Published: October 2022

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a global disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). About 50 million people have died worldwide due to HIV-1 infection alone. HIV is a primary sexually transmitted infection but can also spread via breastfeeding, blood transfer, organ transfer, etc. Early detection with the maintenance of the disease is the only way to reduce the spread and severity of the disease. There are many conventional techniques for the detection of the virus. Still, recently nano-based diagnostic method remains a little ahead of these techniques due to advancements in nanotechnology. Nanomaterial-based biosensors constitute a significant part of the discussion because of their high sensitivity and accuracy. Nanobiosensors like electronic nano biosensors, quantum dot (QD)-based biosensors, optical biosensors, electronic biosensors, electrochemiluminescence nanosensors, field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors, surface acoustic wave (SAW) biosensors, graphene-based biosensors, etc. have been widely used for detecting HIV in human blood samples. All these biosensors offer promising results in the detection of the virus. In this article, different types of nanobiosensors and their application in the field of diagnosis and maintenance of HIV was reviewed.
Perspectives of traditional Chinese medicine to patch up immune checkpoint blockers
Authors: Tsao Shiu Ying
Published: October 2022

In this era of cancer immunotherapy, the response rates of immune checkpoint blockers (ICBs) are still too low and the adverse events may also be significant. Of the ways of patching up such deficits, chemotherapy (ChT), especially if metronomic, seems promising, especially as immunity induced by immunogenic cell death (ICD) may be preserved. However, side effects, e.g., lymphocytopenia and interstitial pneumonitis cannot be ignored; eventually, resistance may also ensue. Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs), being potent angiogenic factors, promote cancer cells’ purposeful angiogenesis rendering an extremely resistant tumor microenvironment (TME). This highly evasive and extremely resilient TME actually demands multi-agent, multi-target agents as currently in use through traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). With a good track record of 3,000 years, TCM is favored by mainland Chinese cancer patients. Although TCM had been criticized as unscientific and imprecise, recently, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies serve to elucidate the sound scientific basis and validity of TCM. Several TCM preparations having anti-VEGF actions are found; others suppress immune checkpoints. Especially, these herbs’ multi-prong approach appears to be more effective than Western medicine’s primarily monotherapy approach if one wishes to eradicate the very resistant TME. A “bonus” point is that some autoimmune-related adverse side effects of ICBs may also be reduced by TCM. Nevertheless, as the TCM experience is mostly anecdotal, robust clinical trials are mandatory. Moreover, other TCM problems, e.g., herbal batch variations and consistency and uniformity of herbal prescriptions are outstanding. Invariably, TCM prescriptions have daily variations as the practice of “syndrome differentiation” is hailed. Despite experienced TCM practitioners would refuse to give up their time-honored traditional practice, the multi-prong approach is still very attractive for the undue resilience of TME, let alone its good safety profile, ready availability, and eminent affordability. Although the passage is dark, light is now appearing at the end of the tunnel.
Electrode Processes of 1,2,4-benzenetriol in Different non-aqueous Solvents
Authors: Kiss Laszlo
Published: October 2022

The electrooxidation of 1,2,4-benzenetriol was studied in different non-aqueous solvents. The results showed that the studied substance can be oxidized in several ways on the electrode surface due to the favourable positions of hydroxyl groups (similarly to hydroquinone, resorcinol and catechol). In most cases one anodic peak appeared involving all possible electrode processes. The concentration dependence of voltammetric peak currents using platinum macroelectrode showed nonlinearity attributable to the 1,3-oxidation similarly to resorcinol leading to partial deactivation. Appearance of more peaks indicated the weak deactivation at higher concentrations in acetonitrile and nitrobenzene. At higher concentration the microelectrode became deactivated as in the successive scans the currents declined continuously reinforcing the existence of resorcinol pathway.

The air quality in the urban region varies based on the sources of air pollution from regions near and far. Any pollution produced in the urban region affects the locality near the pollution source and also adjacent distant regions. The study of the interaction between the local weather patterns of a region and the pollutants in the air is needed for air quality management. It is explicit that Chennai city has a high level of air pollution. But the unavailability of the relevant data on the air pollution sources makes the management difficult. If the data on air pollution in the region of Chennai is known, it will be helpful to provide control measures. Between January 2017 and December 2017, the particulate matter below the size of 2.5 micron (PM2.5) was assessed. It was quite concentrated in the metropolitan city of Chennai situated at the shores of the Bay of Bengal. This assessment is to study the transport phenomenon and expansion of the pollutant particles initially emanating from Chennai. This occurs mainly due to the westerly winds originating in the Bay of Bengal. The time duration of the analysis showed an average PM2.5 concentration of 63.524 � 18.942 �g/m3. This far exceeds the regulations of the World Health Organization (WHO). Various regions of the country as affected by different distant sources of pollution in and around Chennai were evaluated by the trajectory modeling. The pollution in the regions of the vicinity is assessed using the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Approach (HYSPLIT) software. The method and results are fruitful for similar estimates elsewhere.
A Case of Low Phosphorus Osteomalacia in a Young Woman
Authors: Xing Wang , Tao Zhang
Published: October 2022

Hypophosphorous osteomalacia (HO) is a rare metabolic disease. Due to hypophosphatemia and insufficient production of active vitamin D, the bone matrix can not be mineralized normally. Its clinical symptoms are atypical. It is generally manifested in bone pain and muscle weakness in different parts. With the progress of the disease, it is very easy to have osteoporosis, pathological fracture, bone deformity and damage to the function of other organs of the whole body. The etiology can be divided into primary and secondary according to the pathogenesis [1]. The primary is often caused by genetic factors, which can be divided into X-linked dominant low phosphorus osteomalacia (XLH) and autosomal dominant low phosphorus osteomalacia (ADHR). The secondary cause can be low phosphorus osteomalacia (TIO) caused by exposure to some drugs or heavy metals and tumors. This disease is rare in clinic, so clinicians have insufficient understanding of the disease and are prone to missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. This paper reports a case of adult female with low phosphorus osteomalacia. The diagnosis, treatment and treatment are analyzed and discussed in order to provide reference for clinic.

Published: October 2022

The need for human mobility is constantly increasing over time, so the demand for vehicle production mass is still relatively high. A large number of conventional vehicle use makes the impact of dependence on fuel oil. This dependence is very threatening for various aspects. Increasing the combustion efficiency in the engine room is necessary. Turbo cyclone is an additional component applied to the intake manifold, which causes the originally linear inflow to rotate (swirl) and mix fuel with air more maximally in the combustion engine to increase the combustion efficiency. Recently, we fabricated and characterized turbo cyclone and intake manifold spacer to increase the combustion engine's performance. Turbo cyclone designed in two different blades with a degree 400 with an angle of inclination blade. Intake manifold spacer designed with 24 grooves with a 400 angle. A selected sample in this research is the Honda Supra Fit 125CC year 2006. In this study, to increase the combustion engine's performance, we applied the 3-blade turbo cyclone and 4-blade turbo cyclone in the air filter. We applied an intake manifold spacer between the combustion engine and carburetor. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) of turbo cyclone and intake manifold spacer is shown the changing in velocity, pressure, and turbulence intensity. The specific result shown in 4-blade turbo cyclone with change in velocity is 0.14009 m/s, with pressure drop -0.04582 Pa, and the change of turbulence intensity value is 2.44536 % explain that the turbulence condition is a medium-turbulence case. The unspecific result in the intake manifold spacer shows only a change in velocity 0.26269 m/s with a pressure drop of only -0.00673 Pa, which means the inner flow profile is almost linear. It proves from turbulence intensity value only 0.41247 % explain that internal air-flow in low-turbulence flow condition. Based on turbulence case from turbulence intensity, it has shown increased performance in the medium-turbulence case. These results suggest that turbo cyclone and intake manifold spacer can increase the performance of combustion engines.

Amitav Ghosh’s novel Gun Island (2019) explores the intersection of the nonhuman with 21st century issues pertaining to racial and ecological injustice, ethnic cleansing, environmental catastrophe and migrant ecologies by way of allegorising the myth of Manasa Devi (goddess of snakes and other venomous creatures). A postcolonial ecocritical lens helps analyse how the novelist presents nonhuman actors to contest Western anthropocentric conceptualisations of human subjectivity shaped by historical forces of modernity. By positing a postanthropocentric way of reading the world in order to shape new human subjectivities which do not efface human-nonhuman entanglements, my paper studies how Ghosh recognises agentic capacities and storied matter of the postcolonial nonhuman subject matter by identifying the novel’s subversive negotiations through the tropes of language, embodiment, genre, and everyday environmentalism. I analyse how the contextualisation of the postcolonial nonhuman not only critiques human exceptionalism but destabilises the constructedness of borders in terms of an immaterial myth projecting an otherworldly possibility, trans-corporeality positing inescapable interconnectedness between humans and all living and non-living matter, and everyday environmentalism broadening the definition of environment to contest nature-culture dualism. I also argue that this ecofiction’s allegorisation of Manasa Devi’s myth through the unseen boundaries that she seeks to retain problematise a simplistic understanding of borders as limiting. My paper thus analyses how this reconceptualisation through the postcolonial nonhuman blurs borders and their ordering of the world and posits, instead, a relational living that dismantles constructedness of hierarchies while paying heed to (b)orders for ecological sustainable living.
Subalterns in the House: Sites for a Postcolonial Multispecies Ethnography
Authors: Haris Susan
Published: October 2022

Multispecies ethnography attempts to bring to the forefront those animal lives previously overlooked by charting our shared social worlds and showing how humans and nonhumans are mutually affected by social, cultural and political processes. The resistance in postcolonial critique to focus on nonhuman animal subjects stems from making the colonised and the animal comparable and the fear that such an association may dehumanise the human subject. This paper suggests that multispecies ethnography influenced by Latour, Haraway, Tsing and others is a useful tool for analysing postcolonial contexts because of its emphasis on relation, mutuality and alliances. However, I suggest that this inheritance is rebuilt as a postcolonial multispecies ethnography because of its attention to five aspects that is common to both fields: subaltern, local, collective, representation and decolonisation. By a careful reading of these key concepts with examples from contemporary literature, I show how postcolonial multispecies ethnographies engage with hybrid identities that are culturally produced and historically situated and how they register the nonhuman animals as narrativisable subjects who are nevertheless “irretrievably heterogeneous” (284). In this ethnographic emergence, postcolonial multispecies ethnography re-dignifies the nonhuman animal subject which opens up the radical possibility of realizing their embodied perspectives.

An Investigation into the Use of Endangered Languages in Different Domains in the Southern Society of Oman
Authors: Al-Amr Muna i
Published: October 2022

This paper aims to investigate the languages used in various domains (different settings) in the southern society of Oman and explores the possibility to what extent these languages will be preserved in the future. A number of 40 people from different age groups from the southern Omani society were involved in this study who speak Arabic, Jibbali, and Mehri. Through using a questionnaire and following a thematic analysis, the findings revealed that found both Jibbali and Mehri are used in informal domains within most age groups. Some younger participants were found to already be shifting their language use towards Arabic, even with their family and friends, which is an indication of a gradual shift from these minority languages to Arabic in the southern community which are unlikely to be maintained. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Omani government take proactive actions to protect minority languages in Oman as encouraging and enabling their use in classrooms, as well as by creating linguistic corpora of these languages that can be used as learning resources.
Evaluating 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 GCSE English Exams and Exam Method against Related Curriculum Goals and Stakeholders’ and Experts’ Perceptions
Authors: Albaaly Emad
Published: October 2022

Evaluation instigates learning and teaching and is central to them. All elements in the educational process have to be evaluated, including the evaluation of exams and related exam methods. This study aimed at evaluating the Egyptian GCSE English exam and exam method against GCSE curriculum goals and stakeholders’ (i.e. teachers’ and students’) perceptions of the exams. The study adopted a qualitative approach: a fixed alternative questionnaire and a semi-structured E-interview both administered to participant experts and practitioner teachers (n 50 and 5, respectively), and it also incorporated designing and using another questionnaire (in two versions) administered to GCSE graduates: 50 for the school year 2020-2021 and 100 for the 2021-2022. Results revealed that certain curriculum language skills and elements were absent, and the vast majority of them were under-represented and improperly addressed. Even, the curriculum novel content was covered inappropriately. It was then found out that the exams had few strengths and many weaknesses, regarding the question type, language skill and language element representation/coverage, exam nature and appropriateness for students, incompliance with curriculum and OBD. Other exam implications were covered. Plans and recommendations for intervention included inclusion of performance-based questions for three language skills and the translation element, coverage of grammar and vocabulary, inclusion of language functions and idioms, variation of question types appropriate for language skill/element, and commitment to the OBE approach in the exams as well as to research.

La presente investigación tuvo por objetivo analizar la violencia política contra las mujeres en las elecciones 2021. Se utilizó el enfoque cualitativo con el cual se estudiaron dos programas radiales de la ciudad de Santo Domingo que cuentan con mayor audiencia. Para la recolección de datos se aplicaron entrevistas a expertas en temas de género y a candidatas que participaron en el proceso electoral. De igual manera, se observó la información publicada en redes sociales por ambos medios en el 2020 a partir de la pre-campaña electoral. Se utilizó el software Metricool para categorizar, codificar y tabular las entrevistas; y el estudio de casos para interpretar la información. Como principales hallazgos se identificaron formas de violencia al momento de abordar las entrevistas con las candidatas por parte de los entrevistadores, tales como: el uso del lenguaje, la confrontación, el número de entrevistadas y el reducido tiempo de entrevista. También se observó la presión permanente que ejercen los periodistas al momento de abordar los temas con las candidatas, los cuales carecen de relevancia política y social al no responder a las propuestas de campaña sino a acciones de sus vidas privadas
