Islamism, Muslim Millennials, and Local Political Contestation in Indonesia
Authors: Kafid Nur , Zulkifli Zulkifli , Hanif Alimun , Zamhari Arif
Published: August 2022

There is a trend of increasing Islamism after the 1998 Reformation Era in Indonesia. The previous studies reveal that it is caused, among others, by the weakness of the state, the decline of the authority of moderate Islamic groups, and the use of social media as da’wahchannels by Islamist groups. This studi is qualitative-based research by employing descriptive method and social content analysis of social media. The data were collected through observations (field study) of the election process in the Solo area, from social media, and in-depth interviews with academicians of UIN Surakarta, the initiators, and participants of the LISaN program. This study revealed that the low quality of political education, manipulative information spread on social media, and lack of autonomous political participation by the Muslim millennials have also contributed to the rise of Islamism. Therefore, the Islamic literacy for courteous and tolerant behavior (Literasi Islam Santun dan toleran, LISaN) is necessary to counter the Islamist movement. The LISaN movement which take form a noisy tolerant majority can be a means of values reproduction and encourage individual participation in political and religious affairs, in a polite and tolerant manner.
Philanthropy in Majelis Taklim as Contesting Space: Between Women’s Subjectivities and Islamist Movement in Surakarta
Authors: Okta Nurul Hidayati  , Irhas Badruzaman
Published: August 2022

This study examines the response of the women’s majelis taklimin Surakarta to the Islamist movement, through philanthropic activities.This study is focused on interviewing the congregations and the administrators of three majelis taklim-Al Husna, Humaira, and Da'wah Squad. I argue that majelis taklimis a space to express women’s subjectivities and pieties. This study shows that there are divided philanthropic activities at the group and individual level.At the group (majelis) level, especially at Al Husna, there is a potential for expansion of the Islamist movement proven by their support of the Islamist group's philanthropy. Da'wah Squad and Humaira shows a different response in limiting Islamism by organizing independent and creative philanthropy that targets wider beneficiaries. At the individual level, some administrators and congregations of the three majelis have shown their potential for narrowing the Islamist movement with different variations. This research contributes to presenting the women’s philanthropy within women’s piety movement in the context of emerging Islamism in Surakarta.

Published: August 2022

This study aims to see the study of the Qur'an in Indonesia during the years 2015 to 2021 through dissertations at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta, UIN Alauddin Makassar, UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya and UIN Walisongo Semarang. Historically, the five institutions have provided doctoral programs for a long time and are influential in producing Islamic knowledge in Indonesia. This study seeks to map the typology of the study, the issue being discussed, and the methodology developed. The data collection process was carried out by entering the college repository, mapping the results of existing dissertations and analyzing them. This study shows that throughout 2015-2020, there were 78 dissertations discussing various issues. While the study typology shows that the existing dissertation is dominated by 37 leaders' studies (47.43%) followed by the Study of Thematic Qur'an as many as 23 pieces (29.48%), the Ulumul Qur'an study of 10 pieces (12.82%) and the study of the Qur'an in everyday life as many as 8 pieces (10.26%). Typology of this study shows the development of methodology in the discourse of Quranic studies, although it is still dominated by the aspects of thematic Qur'anic thinking and studies.
Konstruksi Tafsir al-Qurâ€™anul Majid An-Nur Karya M Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy
Authors: Sudariyah S
Published: August 2022

This article describes the thoughts of M Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy in understanding or interpreting the verses of the law. This discussion is descriptive-analytic with a focus on his work of Tafsir al-Qur'anul Majid An-Nur. As for the novelty of this study is the researchers tried to see the construction of Tafsir al-Qur'anul Majid An-Nur, which includes two aspects, namely internal and external. The internal aspects include methods and techniques of interpretation, while the external aspects include the social conditions of society which then affect the Hasbi interpretation model that is very typical with the nuances of Indonesianness, especially in legal matters. The results of this study indicate that in interpreting the verses of Hasbi's law does not necessarily accept the law textually or interpret the verses of the law in accordance with the sect of it, the school of Shafi'i, but he also tried to explain or describe about various history or opinion of the scholars according to the theme, then new Hasbi linked with the context of life of Indonesian society is very pluralistic.
Transformasi Palembang Menuju Kota Multikultural: Sebuah Refleksi terhadap Naskah Undang-Undang Simbur Cahaya dan Tuhfah ar-Raghibin
Authors: Wirajaya Asep Yudha
Published: August 2022

History has recorded Palembang as a multiethnic city capable of developing into the capital of the Maritime kingdom. Of course, this success can not be separated from the participation of leaders and stakeholders who have struggled for their vision to be achieved. This is reflected in the text "The Law of the Simbur of Light" and "Tuhfah ar-Raghibin". "The Law of the Light of the Simbur" is a book of laws that combine customary law and Islamic teachings. In addition, "Tuhfah ar-Raghibin" is also a guide made by ulama for the ruler in order to remain consistent in keeping the customs that are in harmony with the values of Islamic teachings and 'rectifying' the customs that begin to deviate. The assertive and fair attitude of the leader in running the government, supported by wise scholars that are able to make Palembang transformed into an advanced multicultural city as well as the capital of the Maritime kingdom in the archipelago. Therefore, the existence of ancient texts needs to be reviewed comprehensively and integratively so as to inspire alternative solutions for sustainable nation-building.

The Internet emergence among generation Z in Yogyakarta portrays a unique phenomenon in selecting religious preachers. This research investigates how generation Z perceives religious authority. The formulation is answered by Caretteâ€™s psychological-religious experience theory. This is a descriptive qualitative research describing the phenomenon of generation Z in perceiving religious authorities. The objects were 15 respondents from 6 religious communities in Yogyakarta. The data were collected through questionnaire and interviews to gain in depth analysis and analyzed through collective case study. The research reveals: first, those who utilize internet as their main resource put more belief on new preachers such as Abdul Somad, Felix Xiaw, etc. and believe that traditional kyais hold less Islamic spirit; and second, those who utilize internet as their additional resource respect more traditional kyais such as Mustofa Bisri, Buya Syafii Maarif, etc. who emphasize on Islam Nusantara, and consider that new preachers hold rigid Islamic values.
Anatomi Akad Asuransi Syariah dalam Perspektif Fatwa Dewan Syariah Nasional (Studi Kasus Produk Mitra Iqra AJB Bumiputera Cabang Syariah Surakarta)
Authors: Husen Fathurrohman
Published: August 2022

Standard contracts in sharia insurance products must be adjusted to the fatwa of the Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI). The fatwa becomes a reference for determining the condition of insurance institutions in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the insurance contract on the Mitra Iqra Plus product at AJB Bumiputera 1912, the Surakarta Sharia Branch office against the conformity of sharia principles based on the DSN-MUI Fatwa. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach and juridical-normative analysis. The findings of interview, observation, and documentation data show that the standard contract applied in the policy is in accordance with sharia principles. Explanation of the flow and process of the contract is conveyed in a sales aid designed to maintain the principle of transparency. The policy analysis shows that there are articles related to the understanding between the parties regarding the three contracts. First, the tabarru 'contract is used to pay members' claims. Second, the mudharabah contract is used for managing investment funds. Third, the wakalah bil ujrah-muqayyadah contract is used for the power of management of the entire fund by the insurance company. The principle of taradhin (willingness) is carried out by giving a tempo to understand the policy before signing it. In conclusion, it is necessary to specifically mention the terms of the mudharabah musytarakah contract in the policy. The basis for the provisions is fatwa Number 51 / DSN-MUI / III / 2006 which regulates the management of investment funds, as a form of clarity that the investment capital that is managed comes from funds owned by the company and owned by members.
The Hadrami Diaspora and The Network Expansion Of Majelis Shalawat In Contemporary Indonesia
Authors: Rosyid Nur
Published: August 2022

This paper aims to discuss the development of institutionalization of Sayyid Genealogy, Hadramiâ€™s diaspora, and its expanding network process in Indonesia contemporary Sufism. During last three decades, the Hadrami has been embarking on occupying the Islamic public by establishing majelis shalawat and organizing â€œshalawat bersamaâ€. This research was conducted towards Ahbabul Musthofaâ€™s Majelis Shalawat in Solo, Central Java. Shalawat Bersama which is introduced through the recitation of prophetic hagiography and rihlah as the way to express love and, following Bourdieuâ€™s view-as a rite to institutionalize the exclusivity of sayyid genealogy. The establishment of this Sufism religious-esthetic ethos is enabled by the economical-political historical situation of their indigenization in Indonesia. This ethnographic research showed that within the emergence of capitalism and democratic state context, Shalawat Bersama and Majelis Shalawat that thrive in the regions are not only using the media industry (audio-visual), but alsoâ€”to assumeâ€”using modern marketing logic. This logic of majelis development is concepted as a â€œreligious franchiseâ€ which means a religious movement which is based on a marketing logic through the branches established in the regions in order to promote and create direct certain religious practices supported by certain standards, especially the reference of sufistic piety and its particular performativity.Â
Thailand's halal gastrodiplomacy to Indonesia: A study from the glocalisation perspective
Authors: Utomo Ario Bimo , Sari Kendalita
Published: August 2022

This article describes how globalisation paves a way toward Thailand's decision to develop its gastrodiplomacy strategy. In more detail, the practice that the author will examine is the practice of Thai gastrodiplomacy with Indonesia, which is directed explicitly to promoting their halal products. This research is descriptive and uses a case study approach, which may provide a deeper picture of a phenomenon in social sciences. Through the Thailand case study, we can see that so far, countries that have a comparative advantage in the culinary field can also respond to globalisation in their way. Responding to the high demand from the global trend of halal tourism, Thailand has slightly adjusted its gastrodiplomacy strategy towards the halal aspect. This also improves the image of those already popular with sex tourism. Uniquely, this halal gastrodiplomacy has also made them successful in gaining markets in other countries despite not being a Muslim-majority country. This research highlights that the practice of gastrodiplomacy can be viewed from various perspectives. One of them is the perspective of globalisation, which investigates how interactions between people can change our perception of objective and subjective needs and how linking these two needs creates new modes of activity.

Molecular Determinants of Tetrahydrocannabinol Binding to the Glycine Receptor
Authors: Alvarez Lautaro D. , Alves N. R. Carina
Published: August 2022

The recognition of Cannabis as a source of new compounds suitable
for medical use has attracted strong interest from the scientific
community in its research, and substantial progress has accumulated
regarding cannabinoids’ activity; however, a thorough description of
their molecular mechanisms of action remains a task to complete.
Highlighting their complex pharmacology, the list of cannabinoids’
interactors has vastly expanded beyond the canonical cannabinoid
receptors. Among those, we have focused our study on the glycine
receptor (GlyR), an ion channel involved in the modulation of nervous
system responses, including, to our interest, sensitivity to peripheral
pain. Here, we report the use of computational methods to investigate
possible binding modes between the GlyR and Δ
-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). After obtaining a first
pose for the THC binding from a biased molecular docking simulation and
subsequently evaluating it by molecular dynamic simulations, we found a
dynamic system with an identifiable representative binding mode
characterized by the specific interaction with two transmembrane
residues (Phe293 and Ser296). Complementarily, we assessed the role of
membrane cholesterol in this interaction and positively established its
relevance for THC binding to GlyR. Lastly, the use of restrained
molecular dynamics simulations allowed us to refine the description of
the binding mode and of the cholesterol effect. Altogether, our findings
contribute to the current knowledge about the GlyR-THC mode of binding
and propose a new starting point for future research on how cannabinoids
in general, and THC in particular, modulate pain perception in view of
its possible clinical applications.

Authors: Lavadiya Dayakar Naik , Dorafshan Sattar
Published: August 2022

Application of deep learning (DL) for automatic condition assessment of
bridge infrastructure has been on the rise in the last few years. From
the published literature, it is evident that lot of research efforts has
been put in identifying the surface defects such as cracks, potholes,
spalling etc. using deep learning. However, a concrete bridge deck
health is jeopardized by the presence of subsurface defects
substantially, however, the task of defect detection using deep learning
has not received the proper attention. The goal of this survey paper is
to provide a critical review of existing technical knowledge for DL
application on NDE data for bridge deck evaluation. The authors reviewed
prominent NDE techniques for subsurface defect detection of bridge decks
and explored the various DL models proposed to identify these defects.
First a brief overview of the working principle of NDE techniques and DL
architectures is provided, and then the information about proposed DL
models and their efficacy is highlighted. Based on the existing
knowledge gaps, various challenges and future prospects associated with
application of DL in bridge subsurface inspection are discussed.

infants when they present with significant congestive heart failure from
interventricular shunting. However, with careful adjustments to
technique, most of these can be closed.
Threshold voltage instability and device failure mechanism of p-GaN gate HEMTs under repetitive short-circuit stress
Authors: Zhang Jian , Pan Chaowu , Yang Ning , Chen Kuangli , Zhou Qi
Published: August 2022

In this letter, the underlying physics of threshold voltage (Vth)
instability and the eventual device failure mechanism of 100V Schottky
p-GaN gate high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) under repetitive
short-circuit (SC) stress with varied drain voltage (VDD= 40-70V) and SC
pulse duration (TSC=10 μs & 20 μs) is studied. In the lenient SC stress
with lower SC energy (e.g. SC stress @ VGS=6 V, VDD=40-70 V, TSC=10 μs),
the devices exhibit significantly positive Vth shift while the Vth
instability shows positive dependence with the stressed drain voltage
and the repetitive SC pulses. For device stressed at VDD=70 V with 150
SC pulses, a substantial ΔVth as high as +0.68 V is observed. Such a
prominent Vth instability is induced by the electron trapping in the
p-GaN gate region during the SC events, which also results in the
suppressed gate and drain leakage current after SC stress. In the more
stringent SC stress (VGS=6 V, VDD=70 V, TSC=20 μs) with much higher
corresponding SC energy, the device failed due to the drain electrode
burned out initiated by the significantly high SC energy during the SC
events.
Studies on structural, electronic and optical properties of nonlinear optical material Li-In-Se and Li-In-Te under high pressure
Authors: Wang Youchun , Xie Hui
Published: August 2022

The first-principle calculations is performed to search for the
candidate stable structures for Li-In-Se and Li-In-Te system below 100
GPa for exploring nonlinear optical materials. A new structure with
semiconductor properties has been successfully predicted, namely
R-3m LiInSe, may be a potential nonlinear
optical material. At the same time, the electronic and optical
properties confirm that the band gap of Pna2
LiInSe is increasing under pressure, indicating that
the optical damage threshold is increasing, which provides a new idea
for improving the nonlinear optical properties of materials. In
addition, the study of bonding properties shows that In atom exhibits
negative valence state in the structure with high pressure or increased
Li atom content, which is similar to Ga atom.

Risk factors for and preventability of drug-related hospital revisits in older patients: a post-hoc analysis of a randomised clinical trial
Authors: Kempen Thomas , Hedman Anton , Hadziosmanovic Nermin , Lindner Karl-Johan , Melhus Håkan , Nielsen Elisabet , Sulku Johanna , Gillespie Ulrika
Published: August 2022

Aim: To identify older patients’ risk factors for drug-related
readmissions and assess the preventability of older patients’
drug-related revisits. Methods: Post-hoc analysis of a
randomised clinical trial with patients aged ≥ 65 years at eight wards
within four hospitals in Sweden. The primary outcome used to identify
risk factors was drug-related readmission within 12 months
post-discharge. A Cox proportional hazards model was made with
sociodemographic and clinical baseline characteristics. Four hundred
trial participants were randomly selected and their revisits (admissions
and emergency department visits) were assessed to identify potentially
preventable drug-related revisits, related diseases and causes.
Results: Among 2,637 patients (median age (interquartile range)
81 (74–87) years), 582 (22%) experienced a drug-related readmission
within 12 months. Sixteen risk factors (hazard ratio > 1, p
< 0.05) related to age, previous hospital visits, medication
use, multimorbidity and cardiovascular, liver, lung and peptic ulcer
disease were identified. The 400 patients experienced a total of 522
hospital revisits, of which 85 (16%) were potentially preventable
drug-related revisits. The two most prevalent diseases and causes
related to preventable revisits were heart failure (n=24, 28%) and
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (n=13, 15%), and inadequate
treatment (n=23, 27%) and insufficient or no follow-up (n=22, 26%).
Conclusion: Risk factors for drug-related readmissions in older
hospitalised patients were age, previous hospital visits, medication use
and multiple diseases. Potentially preventable drug-related hospital
revisits are common and might be prevented through adequate medication
use and follow-up in older patients with cardiovascular or lung disease.
More than just mild thrombocytopenia: clinical clues in the diagnosis of germline predisposition to malignancy from a novel ETV6 variant
Authors: Fang Shannon , Botero Juliana Perez , Hackney Lisa
Published: August 2022

Pathogenic variants in the ETS Variant Transcription Factor 6 (
ETV6) are associated with inherited thrombocytopenia with
predisposition to hematologic malignancy. We report two young sisters
who presented with mild thrombocytopenia and mild bleeding symptoms.
Further family history led to suspicion of inherited etiology, and
genetic sequencing revealed a novel ETV6 variant
(c.1085A>G) of paternal origin. Collaboration between
clinical and laboratory teams allowed resolution of variant
classification to likely pathogenic. Our report demonstrates genetic
testing for inherited thrombocytopenia should be considered for children
with mild, variable, and non-specific bleeding symptoms.
COVID-19 Exacerbates Insulin Resistance During Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Pediatric Patients with Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: Keiner Elizabeth S. , Slaughter James C. , Datye Karishma A. , Cherrington Alan D. , Moore Daniel J. , Gregory Justin M.
Published: August 2022

Objective: Although mortality from COVID-19 among youth with type 1 diabetes is rare, SARS-CoV-2 is associated with increased pediatric hospitalizations for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). To clarify whether the relationship between COVID-19 and DKA is coincidental or causal, we compared tissue glucose disposal (TGD) during standardized treatment for DKA between pediatric patients with COVID-19 versus those without COVID-19. 

Research Design and Methods: We retrospectively compared TGD during standardized therapy for DKA in all children with preexisting type 1 diabetes with or without COVID-19. Cases were assessed beginning with the first case of COVID-positive DKA on June 19, 2020 through February 2, 2022. 
Results: We identified 93 COVID-negative patients and 15 COVID-positive patients who were treated for DKA, with similar baseline characteristics between groups. Median TGD was 46% lower in patients who had COVID-19 compared to those that did not (p = 0.013).
Conclusions: These results suggest COVID-19 provokes a metabolic derangement over-and-above factors that typically contribute to pediatric DKA. These findings underscore the significant and direct threat posed by COVID-19 in pediatric type 1 diabetes and emphasize the importance of mitigation and monitoring including through vaccination as a primary prevention.

Objective: To evaluate the concordance between the ESC/EASD-2019 and the Steno Type 1 Risk Engine (Steno-Risk) cardiovascular risk scales in persons with type 1 diabetes (T1D) without cardiovascular disease (CVD), and to analyze their relationships with preclinical atherosclerosis. 

Research design and methods: We consecutively selected patients with T1D, without CVD, with: ≥40 years, nephropathy, or ≥10 years of evolution with another risk factor. The presence of plaque at different carotid segments was determined by ultrasonography. Cardiovascular risk was estimated according to ESC/EASD-2019 risk groups (moderate/high/very-high) and the Steno-Risk (<10%, low; 10-20%, moderate; ≥20%, high), as T1D-specific scores. As an exploratory analysis, the non-T1D-specific ACC/AHA-2013 pooled cohort equation was also evaluated in individuals between 40-79 years.  

Results: We included 501 patients (53% males, age 48.8 years, T1D duration 26.5 years, 41.3% harboring plaques). Concordance between T1D-specific scales was poor (kappa= 0.19). A stepped increase in the presence of plaques according to the Steno-Risk category was seen (18.4%, 38.2% and 64.1%, for low/moderate/high-risk; p for trend<0.001), with no differences according to ESC/EASD-2019 (p=0.130). Steno-Risk identified individuals with plaques, unlike ESC/EASD-2019 (AUC=0.691; p<0.001 vs. AUC=0.538; p=0.149; respectively). Finally, in polynomial regression models (adjusted for lipid parameters and cardioprotective treatment), irrespective of the ESC/EASD-2019 category, high-risk by Steno-Risk was directly associated with atherosclerosis (in moderate/high-risk ESC/EASD-2019: OR 2.91 [1.27-6.72] and 5.290 [2.746-10.189], for the presence of plaque and ≥2 plaques, respectively). Similar results were obtained with discordant higher Steno-Risk vs. ACC/AHA-2013 (p<0.001). 

Conclusions: In T1D patient undergoing primary prevention, Steno-Risk seems to better recognize individuals with atherosclerosis in comparison to ESC/EASD-2019. Notwithstanding, carotid ultrasound could improve the categorization of cardiovascular risk.

Authors: Li Fu-Rong , Hukportie Daniel Nyarko , Yang Jing , Yang Huan-Huan , Chen Guo-Chong , Wu Xian-Bo
Published: August 2022

  

OBJECTIVE

To examine association between microvascular disease (MVD) and risk of heart failure (HF) among individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We included 1,713 and 28,624 participants with T1DM and T2DM, respectively, from the UK Biobank who were free of HF during enrolment. MVD burden reflected by the presence of retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) at baseline was prospectively evaluated for the association with incidence of HF. Hazards ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of HF were estimated by Cox regression models adjusted for multiple traditional risk factors.

RESULTS

There were 145 and 2,515 incident cases of HF recorded among participants with T1DM and T2DM, respectively, during a median follow-up of 11.5 years. The association between the number of MVD and HF was stronger among participants with T1DM than among those with T2DM (P for interaction <0.001). Compared with participants with no MVD, those with all three MVD had an adjusted HR (95% CI) of 11.37 (5.62, 22.99) in T1DM and 3.66 (2.74, 4.88) in T2DM. In T1DM, HRs (CIs) were 2.69 (1.75, 4.14) for retinopathy, 2.11 (1.38, 3.23) for peripheral neuropathy, and 2.21 (1.53, 3.18) for CKD. The corresponding estimates in T2DM were 1.24 (1.13, 1.36), 1.63 (1.36, 1.96), and 1.73 (1.59, 1.89), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

While a heavier burden of MVD was associated with excess risk of HF both in T1DM and T2DM, the association was evidently more pronounced in T1DM.
ADVERSE EFFECTS OF NASAL DECONGESTANTS (REVIEW OF LITERATURE)

Published: August 2022

Nasal decongestants are ones of the most popular and widespread medicines due to high frequency of respiratoryinfections. But on the other hand they are characterized by significant abuse potential for users seeking such effectsas euphoria, psychostimulation, less of appetite and lose the weight.The affections of the cardio-circulation and nervous systems are the most frequent complications after overdosing ofthe nasal decongestants. The development of the strikes in the young age was associated with the nasal decongestantsabuse in every tenth patient.The cases of the malignant arterial hypertension, cerebral hemorrhages, ischemic strokes, heart decompensationafter the nasal decongestants abuse is known as nasal decongestants poisoning. And although the side effects moreoften develop when nasal decongestants are used orally, intranasal way could not be considered as absolutely safe,especially in cases of overdosing.The development of the psychotic disorders is one of the most frequent nasal decongestants adverse effects. Theelderly people with organic brain damage, drug addiction, mental illness are in the risk group for the developmentof psychotic complications.Misuse of the nasal decongestants in children is especially dangerous because of the high risk of the developmentof the life-threatening toxic poisoning. Fatal cases of poisoning were associated with small age of a child, usingseveral medicines with the same ingredient, using decongestants in a daycare setting, mistakes in measuring andidentification the medicine, the absence of the doctor’s prescription, use of the product for adult age.Using nasal decongestants in supine position of the patient may lead to the significantly dose increase inside thenasal cavity and may cause toxic poisoning.Adolescents are quite sensitive to the development of nasal decongestants side effects with such risk factors asage, gender, family income, physical and mental health, use of other medicines and alcohol.The special type of the adverse effects of the long-term using of the nasal decongestants is the rhinitismedicamentosa taking place in adult persons with predisposition to the nasal hyperreactivity. The diagnosis ofthe rhinitis medicamentosa is based on the nasal hyperactivity and swelling of the nasal mucous membrane incombination with poor response on treatment caused or exaggerated by long-term use of topical nasal decongestants.The development of the rhinitis medicamentosa depends on a number of factors such as the type of nasaldecongestants, the type of preservative, the presence of risk factors that determine the patient's predisposition to thedevelopment of nasal hyperreactivity.Here we review the existing literature concerning the adverse effects of the nasal decongestants including thedevelopment of the rhinitis medicamentosa.

This paper describes a method for dysgraphia disorder detection based on the classification of handwritten text. In the experiment we have verified proposed approach based on the conventional signal theory. Input data consists of the handwritten text by dysgraphia diagnosed children. Techniques for early dysgraphia detection could be applied in the schools to detect children with a possible diagnosis of dysgraphia and early intervention could improve their lives. The main goal of research is to develop a tool based on a machine learning for schools to diagnose dyslexia and dysgraphia. An experiment was performed on the dataset of 120 children in the school age (63 normally developing and 57 dysgraphia diagnosed). The main advantage is the simple algorithm for preprocessing of the raw data. Then was designed simple 3-layers convolutional neural network for classification of data. On the test data, our model reached accuracy 79.7%.
An improved simple feature set for face presentation attack detection
Authors: Denisova Anna
Published: August 2022

Presentation attacks are weak points of facial biometrical authentication systems. Although several presentation attack detection methods were developed, the best of them require a sufficient amount of training data and rely on computationally intensive deep learning based features. Thus, most of them have difficulties with adaptation to new types of presentation attacks or new cameras. In this paper, we introduce a method for face presentation attack detection with low requirements for training data and high efficiency for a wide range of spoofing attacks. The method includes feature extraction and binary classification stages. We use a combination of simple statistical and texture features and describe the experimental results of feature adjustment and selection. We validate the proposed method using WMCA dataset. The experiments showed that the proposed features decrease the average classification error in comparison with the RDWT-Haralick-SVM method and demonstrate the best performance among non-CNN-based methods.
Parallel YOLO-based Model for Real-time Mitosis Counting
Authors: Yancey Robin
Published: August 2022

It is estimated that breast cancer incidences will increase by more than 50% by 2030 from 2011. Mitosis counting is one of the most commonly used methods of assessing the level of progression, and is a routine task for every patient diagnosed with invasive cancer. Although mitotic count is the strongest prognostic value, it is a tedious and subjective task with poor reproducibility, especially for non-experts. Object detection networks such as Faster RCNN have recently been adapted to medical applications to automatically localize regions of interest better than a CNN alone. However, the speed and accuracy of newer state-of-the-art models such as YOLO are now leaders in object detection, which had yet be applied to mitosis counting. Moreover, combining results of multiple YOLO versions run in parallel and increasing the size of the data in a way that is appropriate for the specific task are some of the other methods can be used to further improve the score overall. Using these techniques the highest F-scores of 0.95 and 0.96 on the MITOS-ATYPIA 2014 challenge and MITOS-ATYPIA 2012 challenge mitosis counting datasets are achieved, respectively.

Digital Games are nowadays used for several purposes beyond entertainment. Such purposes include but are not limited to education, promoting cultural heritage, and improving well-being aspects. A rich body of literature presents experimental studies, investigating whether a serious game achieves its aim. However, most of such papers often omit to provide adequate information on the development process followed, game mechanisms and techniques used, making the reproducibility of the game as such, by other researchers, difficult. This results in a lack of knowledge transfer between researchers, who usually must develop applications under investigation by themselves when at the same time industrial gaming companies rarely publicize the technical insights of their work. This paper aims to contribute towards filling this knowledge gap within the scientific community, using as a case study an online, multiplayer, escape room game, which aims to improve social interaction through edutainment. The full process of its development with details for the various components that the game comprises are presented. We are expanding on the functionality of the game and the optimization of the 3D environment and the assets, among other aspects. Results of white and black-box testings taking place at the end of each development cycle showed that the integration of the various components described within the paper led to a robust game.
Dynamic Sensor Matching based on Geomagnetic Inertial Navigation
Authors: Müller Simone , Kranzlmüller Dieter
Published: August 2022

Optical sensors can capture dynamic environments and derive depth information in near real-time. The quality of these digital reconstructions is determined by factors like illumination, surface and texture conditions, sensing speed and other sensor characteristics as well as the sensor-object relations. Improvements can be obtained by us- ing dynamically collected data from multiple sensors. However, matching the data from multiple sensors requires a shared world coordinate system. We present a concept for transferring multi-sensor data into a commonly ref- erenced world coordinate system: the earth’s magnetic field. The steady presence of our planetary magnetic field provides a reliable world coordinate system, which can serve as a reference for a position-defined reconstruction of dynamic environments. Our approach is evaluated using magnetic field sensors of the ZED 2 stereo camera from Stereolabs, which provides orientation relative to the North Pole similar to a compass. With the help of inertial measurement unit informations, each camera’s position data can be transferred into the unified world coordinate system. Our evaluation reveals the level of quality possible using the earth magnetic field and allows a basis for dynamic and real-time-based applications of optical multi-sensors for environment detection.
Exploring the necessity of mosaicking for underwater imagery semantic segmentation using deep learning

Published: August 2022

Deep learning applications are attracting considerable interest nowadays and image analysis pipelines are no exception. Benthic studies often rely on the subjective evaluation of video material recorded using underwater drones. The demand for automatic image segmentation and quantitative evaluation arises due to the large volume of video data collected. This study performed a semantic segmentation task by training the PSPNet architecture with ResNet-34 backbone for 50 epochs using imagery prepared by simply extracting a few video frames or stitch- ing a multitude of frames into a large 2D mosaic. Mosaicking is a particularly resource-intensive step, therefore, the possibility to skip such preprocessing would result in a more rapid analysis. The effect on the resulting seg- mentation quality was investigated by estimating the seabed coverage of three classes (Furcellaria lumbricalis, Mytilus edulis trossulus, and boulders) in a video material obtained from the Baltic Sea. Segmentation success, measured by intersection over union, varied between 0.56 and 0.84, usually slightly better for frames than for the mosaic overall. Absolute differences in estimated coverage were negligible (mosaic vs. frames): 0.24% vs. 1.26% for furcellaria, 0.44% vs. 2.46% for mytilus, and 4.02% vs. 2.06% for boulders. Due to the differences between predicted coverage and the mosaic-based ground truth being in an acceptable range, the findings suggest that the mosaicking step could be safely skipped in favor of a few equally spaced sample frames.

The benthic habitat has a huge ecological and economic role in the sustainability of the coastal environment and is vulnerable to change. The importance of the existence of the benthic habitat requires identification and monitoring of the habitat's existence and status. One of the technologies that can be utilized is remote sensing technology, which is able to provide solutions to the limitations of conventional methods, such as time that is relatively long, costly, and difficult to reach remote and risky areas. Selection of sensing vehicles takes into consideration the needs and desired qualities because the sensors brought in to detect habitats have different abilities. Sentinel-2A imagery is an open-source satellite with a 10 m spatial resolution capability, while the image from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has a high spatial resolution of up to 1 cm per pixsel depending on flight level. The purpose of this study is to identify the degree of accuracy and the scattered conditions of the benthic habitat by the sentinel-2A imagery and the UAV imagery in mapping the benthic habitat in the shallow waters of Pemuteran. The two images for classification use classification based objects and accuracy tests using the confusion matrix method. Based on field observations, five kinds of habitat composition with vast dead corals, dead coral, rubble, biorock, sand, and stone sand are 13.63 ha, 1.45 ha, 0.87 ha, 6.05 ha, and 1.67 ha on the sentinel-2A imagery and 12.86 ha, 1.54 ha, 0.18 ha, 7.32 ha, and 1.76 ha on the UAV imagery. The Sentinel-2a's imagery capability in mapping the benthic habitat is adopted by 73.95%, whereas the UAV imagery is 81.51%. The value of accuracy obtained in the study shows the use of remote sensing data using both imagery can be used for the mapping of habitat benthic.

Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a large-scale ocean-atmosphere phenomenon that occurs due to strong atmospheric circulation patterns and convection from Indonesian Seas then moves eastward (Pacific Ocean) with an average speed of 5 m/s. MJO is categorized into strong MJO and weak MJO whose occurrences can be identified by Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR). Strong MJO also has a relationship with wind and Sea Surface Temperature (SST), so that MJO events affect wind and SST. Studies on strong MJO have been conducted but in a short period, narrow research area, and only one related variable, namely the relation between MJO and precipitation The purpose of this study is understanding the relation between MJO with wind speed and SST in Indonesian Seas for the period 2003 - 2020. The data used are carried out using remote sensing technology. The research data was conducted using filtered, then analyzed by the Hovmöller diagram, and finally analyzed by correlation analysisThe research area, namely the Indonesian Seas, consists of regions A (Western Sea of Sumatera), region B (North Java Sea), region C (Southern Sea of Java), region D (Sulawesi Sea), region E (Banda Sea), region F (Aru Sea), and region G (North Papua Sea). The results of the study show that there is a relationship between OLR, wind speed, and SST where the relation between OLR and wind speed gets mostly fluctuating values, where there are negative values as well as positive values, and the relation between OLR and SST is inversely proportional.
