A Systemic Review on Nutraceutical Supplements used in the
Management of Osteoarthritis
Authors: Nooreen Zulfa , Wal Pranay , Summaiyya Fariha
Published: January 2024

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive degenerative joint disease. It basically impairs
the structural integrity of articulate cartilage and imbalances the catabolic and anabolic signals
in the joint. A degenerative disease is characterized by swelling, pain, and joint stiffness. The
treatment and management of osteoarthritis are based on analgesic and anti-inflammatory
agents, whereas the exact cause of OA is not known yet. The negative effects of synthetic medications
have led to a daily rise in the usage of nutraceuticals and dietary supplements. Clinicians
are aware of these treatments, and they also recommend nutraceuticals in addition to the currently
preferred therapy. Many in-vitro and in-vivo experiments have been performed in past
years to evaluate the function of these on osteoarthritis.

:

The collection of articles was published on search engines like PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar,
ResearchGate, and ScienceDirect. The evaluation covers every potential nutraceutical utilized
in osteoarthritis, together with its supporting data and mode of action.

The present review discusses nutraceuticals, including devil’s claw, vitamin D, boswellic acid,
capsaicin, ginger, curcumin, krill oil, ginger, and avocado/soybean unsaponifiable.

Authors: Nafika Wirentyas , Munawarti Aminatun
Published: January 2024

Rootstock apple is a type of plant used in grafting propagation. Research related to the response of morphogenesis in this plant has not been widely carried out. The aim of this research was to study the effect of auxin and cytokinin ratio on the morphogenesis response of leaf and petioles explants of rootstock apple and to study variations in the ratio of auxin and cytokinin with the best response. The study used a 2-factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with variations in the types of explants and combinations of plants growth regulators (PGR) in the culture medium. There were 12 treatments with five repetitions. Explants in the form of young apple leaf (third leaf) and petiole rootstock that had been sterilized and cut with a size of 5x5 mm for the leaf and 5 mm long for the petiole were inoculated into MS medium with cytokinin in the form of BAP (1 ppm) combined with auxin, IBA (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 ppm). Each culture bottle contains five explants. The results showed that the average leaf explant was capable of producing 34% callus. Meanwhile, petiole explants produced 4% callus. Callus began to form on leaf and petiole explants on the 26th and 42nd days after inoculation respectively. Most calluses have a compact texture with variations in green, yellowish white, and brownish green. The PGR combination with the highest percentage of callus formation in leaf explants was found in the BAP 1 ppm + IBA 0.4 ppm treatment, while the petiole was in the BAP 1 ppm + IBA 0.3 ppm treatment

Capacity and Adequacy: Explicating Voting Behavior in A Multilevel and Concurrent Local Election
Authors: Sobari Wawan
Published: January 2024

This qualitative case study explores voting behavior in a multilevel (municipality and province) and concurrent local election in the Municipality of Malang. Previous researches on concurrent local election in Indonesia revealed a number of relevant factors elucidating votersâ€™ choices, namely vote-buying (Fossati et al., 2016), social identity (Kristianus, 2016), intensity of meeting with candidates (Ramadhany, 2017), and the blater character of incumbent (friendly and close to commoners) (Sobari, 2018).Â  The study extends previous findings through exposure to voting behavior that the capacity to vote and the adequacy of information about candidates are two converging factors explaining similarities and differences in the considerations for voting. The capacity demonstrates ability in making electoral decision, mainly referring to rational choice arguments. It is supported by the adequacy of information about the profile of candidates for mayors and governors along with their proposed vision, missions and programs. On the contrary, the lack of knowledge about candidates' profiles and their platforms contribute to the emergence of trivial voters who simply exercised their voting rights (alakadarnya) or without adequate consideration, especially in selecting candidates for governor. Furthermore, this research echoes Mondak and Huckfeldtâ€™s study (2006) that information about candidateâ€™s integrity is a rational argument for electoral decision, especially in the 2018 Local Election of Malang.Â Key words: local election, multilevel and concurrent, integrity, malang, indonesia.
Ormas in the Circle of Brokerage Clientelism: Ormas Brokerage Clientelism Model in Bali General and Local Elections.
Authors: Azhar Muhammad Ali
Published: January 2024

Elections or post-conflict local elections in Indonesia always leave interesting things that are never quiet from the discussion in the study of political science. This happens because the elections or local elections held since the revolving reforms have become an arena for the growth of new political actors, both as institutions, groups, or individuals who happen to have the same desire to control political institutions such as; political parties, parliaments, and regional heads. Initiated by the interests of looking for business profit (rent seeking) in the economic sector as a result of the jingling of the dollar in the tourism sector, to the desire to get positions or important positions in these institutions, until then feel the pleasure of seizing and obtaining these sources of power . This is one that was carried out by a number of mass organizations in Bali during the election and post-conflict local elections. By utilizing the clientelism pattern, each of the mass organizations succeeded in placing its candidates to sit in a number of political positions. The purpose of this paper is to explain the phenomenon of the emergence of new clientelism, namely clienteler's Brokerage conducted by several mass organizations in Bali during the implementation of elections and post-conflict local elections. By using a qualitative research method with a descriptive-explanatory type, this paper notes that the clientelism pattern carried out by a number of mass organizations in Bali is not a pure clientelism pattern, but a clientelist pattern that has been modified like a broker, a clientelism pattern that relies on the masculinity of individuals with mass. which is very much to be exchanged for parties, or political officials during the election and post-conflict local elections in order to obtain sources of power. A new clientelism model that emerged as a result of the clientelism practice was carried out by each of these organizations.Â Key Words: Mass Organizations, Brokerage Clientelism, Election and Bali elections.
Performance Evaluation using Spanning Tree Protocol, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, Per-VLAN Spanning Tree, and Multiple Spanning Tree
Authors: Abd Dana Faiq , Rashid Rawyer Asaad , Othman Danyar Awat , Abdulqader Hero Muhammed
Published: January 2024

This paper examines the concepts and practical applications of the spanning tree protocol (STP). It also covers per-VLAN spanning tree (PVST), multiple spanning tree (MST), and rapid STP (RSTP). Moreover, practical scenarios are presented to help the reader understand the concepts and implementations of these protocols. This study analyzes protocols using seven metrics. All protocols have been evaluated using these metrics in both small and big topology scenarios to obtain the best results. In addition, all metrics are mentioned in the introduction chapter, and the way used to apply tests on the metrics is described in the methodology chapter. Based on the experiments, different STPs performance are compared, including STP, RSTP, PVST, and MST. In summary, findings show that STP is easy to use and performs well overall, but it consistently has high latency issues. RSTP is suitable for small networks and has quick convergence, but it cannot handle as much load as STP. PVST performed the best in the experiments, as it demonstrated high scalability and the ability to handle a lot of pressure, although it requires strong hardware. However, MST did not perform as well as expected, as it struggled with delay problems and high jitter. In conclusion, it is recommended to use RSTP for simple networks that require fast convergence with dependable delay and capacity, or STP for networks that require good scaling and bandwidth. PVST is an excellent option for those who can afford high-performance hardware, while MST is suitable for simple networks or those with outdated hardware.

Authors: Yoon Dukyong , Han Changho , Kim Dong Won , Kim Songsoo , Bae SungA , Ryu Jee An , Choi Yujin
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Efficient data exchange and health care interoperability are impeded by medical records often being in nonstandardized or unstructured natural language format. Advanced language models, such as large language models (LLMs), may help overcome current challenges in information exchange.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to evaluate the capability of LLMs in transforming and transferring health care data to support interoperability.

METHODS

Using data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III and UK Biobank, the study conducted 3 experiments. Experiment 1 assessed the accuracy of transforming structured laboratory results into unstructured format. Experiment 2 explored the conversion of diagnostic codes between the coding frameworks of the ICD-9-CM (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification), and Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT) using a traditional mapping table and a text-based approach facilitated by the LLM ChatGPT. Experiment 3 focused on extracting targeted information from unstructured records that included comprehensive clinical information (discharge notes).

RESULTS

The text-based approach showed a high conversion accuracy in transforming laboratory results (experiment 1) and an enhanced consistency in diagnostic code conversion, particularly for frequently used diagnostic names, compared with the traditional mapping approach (experiment 2). In experiment 3, the LLM showed a positive predictive value of 87.2% in extracting generic drug names.

CONCLUSIONS

This study highlighted the potential role of LLMs in significantly improving health care data interoperability, demonstrated by their high accuracy and efficiency in data transformation and exchange. The LLMs hold vast potential for enhancing medical data exchange without complex standardization for medical terms and data structure.

Within the Space of Drawing: Lines and the Locus of Creation in Architectural Design
Authors: Paans Otto
Published: January 2024

This paper considers the practice of drawing lines in the context of architectural design. The core argument is that drawing lines generates the conditions for creative thought. Moreover, this initial claim is discussed in the context of the creative process in architectural design, as lines play an indispensable role in the locus of creation. First, the so-called “representational paradigm” about hand drawing is critically discussed, leading to the exposition of a new philosophical account regarding drawing. This new position consists of three theses: (I) it regards the drawing surface as a topos or “space of drawing”; (II) it regards drawings as situated figurations; (III) and it regards lines as processes. Jointly, these three theses form the “performative paradigm”, casting each aspect of the drawing process in terms of an unfolding dynamic in which inhabitative imagination and aesthetic sensibility play decisive roles. Lastly, these conclusions are formalized in a design model.

Published: January 2024

Cementation process in oil well drilling can be challenging, causing serious well control issues. The properties of cement slurry aid the designer to know the accurate dynamic placement of the cement slurry from surface to downhole of the wellbore. It presents the stability of locally sourced CaCO3 and class G cement slurry blend, giving insight to the effective pumpability and setting time for better slurry placement. Utilization of locally source recipes serving as an alternative use to imported additives in the reduction of oilfield cementation operations is imperative, considering the cost of imported chemicals. In this paper, fine CaCO3 identified as an acid-soluble additive was used for the design and formulation of a plug cementation operation through coil tubing for zonal isolations. Four different blends of CaCO3 containing 20%, 25% 30%, 40% BWOC and 100% Class ‘G’ cement used for the experiment at a test temperature of 175degree F BHST and a slurry density of 15.8ppg to ascertain the impact of CaCO3 on the mixability, pumpability, stability on the cement slurry. The placement time and strength data of cement slurry is very crucial to meeting planned cementing schedule. From the thickening time evaluation, at 40BC an average range of 8hrs-11hrs pumpable time was deduced for all blends. However, the point of departure for 30% CaCO3 BWOC showed a better result. The result helped to provide real-time information about the initial compressive strength development in the slurry specimen and this aids in determining waiting on cement time (WOC). It indicates that the more calcium carbonate in the system, the lesser the strength which means that the presence of calcium carbonate reduces the compressive strength in an acid-soluble cement slurry compared to the neat slurry. The paper presents experimental details on the average wait on cement time and the pumpable time for acid soluble cement slurry, contributing to data gathering and proper well planning before execution and. competency in the use of the slurry designs have been established in this work.

Published: January 2024

The objective of this study was to elucidate South Korea's trade diplomacyendeavors in augmenting trade and investment in the Netherlands during the timeframe of 2019-2022. The author employs the notions of economic diplomacy and trade diplomacy from the Okano-Heijmans conceptual framework to elucidate the essence of the research. During the 2019-2022 timeframe, South Korea has implemented trade diplomacy efforts aimed at enhancing its potential to export products, particularly semiconductors. The implementation of a safeguard policy for Japanese semiconductor raw materials is a response to constraints in the availability of raw materials, as well as the trade conflict between the United States and China, which has repercussions for South Korea's trade ties with Japan. To enhance exports, the South Korean government is implementing several trade diplomacy initiatives, including engaging in commerce through Foreign Trade Agreements and promoting investment through bilateral relations focused on both government and private sector involvement, particularly with the Netherlands. In addition, South Korean representatives visited ASML, a Dutch company that manufactures semiconductor production machinery. Nevertheless, South Korea must confront some obstacles in order to succeed in the semiconductor trade battle, particularly the imperative for quality advancement. In this paper, the author will also explore the investment prospects of South Korea for the Netherlands.

An Overview of Ayurveda
Authors: P Khemariya
Published: January 2024

Ayurveda distinguishes "The oldest medical system known to man and the oldest and greatest comprehensive spiritual edification in the universe". Ayurveda is founded on the fundamental principle of equilibrium among body and the mind. It supports the patient to get to recognize his body and mind and know the profits of a close relationship with nature. There are cures in the Ayurvedic literature for age-related diseases such as memory loss, osteoporosis and wounds caused by diabetes, and so on. There is an effective drug available in modern medicine, while Ayurveda has a good literature track record, the irony is that it has a very low share (0.5%) in the global pharmaceutical market. Ayurvedic medicines must make Ayurveda available on the international market. It is available in a standardized form, which is the minimum requirement to place a product on the western market. Ayurvedic preparations should be standardized with fingerprints based on the active substance or main compounds. There are numerous possibilities where India is becoming a global leader in the traditional medicine market by exporting quality products from the Ayurvedic pharmaceutical system. This review article delivers a summary of Ayurveda - the old-style system of Indian medicine. It also clarifies the principle of Ayurvedic medicine. According to Charaka, “The science of life can never take final form, so it must be humility and tireless industry, it Indicate our efforts and attitude towards knowledge. Ayurveda is a complete arrangement of natural well-being care that invented in the ancient Vedic periods of India. Its chief prominence is on treatment of illness and protection of health. It also delivers dealing for disease. Ayurveda came from ‘Science of Life,’ and it discourses all features of life, including consciousness/mind, physiology, behavior, and environment. This review article will focus on the nutritional aspects of Ayurveda in relation to the overall all health.
Prioritize Placating Panicky Parents of Paediatric Pyrexial Seizure
Authors: Kishanrao Suresh
Published: January 2024

A febrile seizure is a convulsion in a toddler or a child that's caused by a fever, from an explicit or implicit infection. Febrile seizures occur in young, healthy children who have normal development and haven't had any neurological symptoms before. Febrile seizures are common, occurring in up to 5% of children in the United States and up to 10% in India. Frequently perceived by caregivers as a life-threatening event, results in panic even among young, educated parents and accounts for emergency department visits and hospital admissions. It is not clear why some children have a febrile seizure following fever due to viral or bacterial infections, but they do occur due to abnormal increased electrical activity in the brain. Fortunately, febrile seizures are usually harmless, lasting for a few minutes, and don’t signify any serious health problem. The Primary Care Physician/ Provider (PCP) must be able to address young parents’ concerns as the first Pyrexial Seizure of a young infant or even a toddler, as they become panicky and calming them down is equally important as much as the treatment of the child. Most common precipitating cause for fever in febrile seizures are Upper respiratory infection (URI), Acute gastroenteritis (AGE), and Urinary tract infections (UTI). The causative organisms are usually viruses (RSV, Influenza, SARC-V 2, Roseola Virus) and Bacteria. However, the development of childhood vaccines over the past several decades has led to a significant reduction in childhood bacterial meningitis, whooping cough, Diphtheria etc. but streptococcus pneumonia and staphylococcus aureus bacteria with no vaccines are the common causes for hyperpyrexia. Most hospital studies indicate that about 15% cases prove positive for blood culture and another 7% are positive for urine culture. Management of Pyrexial seizure involves using Paracetamol and or Ibuprofen syrup or tablets every 3-4 hours and Diazepam if the seizures or long lasting or repeated. Bactrim (Sulfamethoxazole 40mg/Kg body weight and Trimethoprim 8mg/Kg body weight) suspension divided in 2 doses is given each day for 5 days for urinary infections. Material and Methods: This article is based on distant counselling the parents and managing two Fever Seizure cases one a girl of 6 years in Belgaum, Karnataka India and another a toddler of 17 months in San Jose, SFO, USA both my grandchildren in October 2023. The girl case was poorly investigated, and unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotics given initially and, in the repeat attack, were administered standard Bactrim antibiotic. The boy in San Jose was investigated with 20 panels of pathogens in the first 4hours of emergency consultation and managed with only Paracetamol and Ibuprofen, no antibiotic
New Therapies for the Treatment of Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Authors: Jalal Al Mosawi Aamir
Published: January 2024

Background: Cerebral palsy is a heterogeneous condition associated with a non-progressive lesion, but permanent disorder of movement with limited mobility. It is generally associated with gross motor developmental delay. In moderate to severe cases motor developmental milestones such as walking may never be achieved. There are no specific therapies for cerebral palsy, and treatment of spastic cerebral palsy is generally aiming at improving mobility through muscle relaxation and physiotherapy. This is a retrospective observational study describing the treatment of spastic cerebral palsy with individualized treatment plans providing a new combination of interventions including nutritional support, muscle relaxants and the use of oral pyritinol, intramuscular piracetam, citicoline (oral and injectable), intramuscular cerebrolysin, and intramuscular nandrolone decanoate. Treatment aimed primarily at improving motor development particularly standing and walking. Patients and Methods: During the year 2018, six patients (3 girls and 3 boys) with spastic cerebral palsy and marked motor disability were treated. The patient age ranged from 22 months to three years. All patients were unable to stand or walk, and had poor speech development. Four patients (Patients 1, 4, 5, and 6) had severe cerebral palsy and were even not able to sit. The other two patients had moderately severe disorder and were unable to stand or walk. All the patients were not saying any word or were saying only few words. Results: After treatment, all the patients experienced improvement in motor development without the occurrence of any side effect. Five patients were able to stand with support (patients 1,2,3,4, and 5), and four of them were also able to walk few steps with support. The sixth patient remained unable to stand and the limited benefit of treatment was attributed to some degree of deformity and muscle contracture. In all patients treatment was associated with initiation of speech development or improved speech. It was possible to demonstrate improvement in fine motor skills in three patients (Patient 2, 3, and 5). Conclusion: The treatment of patients with spastic cerebral palsy (moderate and severe) with this individualized treatment plans was associated with a beneficial effect on motor development particularly standing and walking.

Every collision must be handled right away to prevent further harm, damage, and traffic bottlenecks. Hence, the implementation of a systematic approach for accident detection becomes imperative to expedite response mechanisms. Our proposed accident detection system operates in three stages, encompassing vehicle object detection, multiple object tracking, and vehicle interaction analysis. YOLOv4 is employed for object detection, while DeepSort is utilized to the tracking of multiple vehicle objects. Subsequently, the positional and interactional data of each object within the video frame undergo thorough analysis to identify collisions, utilizing an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Notably, collisions involving a single vehicle and not affecting other road users are excluded from the scope of this study. The evaluation of our approach reveals that the ANN model achieves a commendable F-Measure of 0.97 for detecting objects without collisions and 0.88 for objects involved in collisions, based on the conducted tests.

A cooperation agreement document managed by BKK Undiksha is a conventionally managed document. With the implementation of the Kampus Merdeka - Merdeka Belajar curriculum in 2021, the number of incoming cooperation agreement documents has increased rapidly, making the collection of document data much longer and inefficient. Therefore, there is a need for a scheme that can automatically validate collaboration documents. The document validation scheme was developed using the Local Binary Patterns and YOLOv5 methods. The data used in the development is primary data from BKK Undiksha in 2021, where two agencies collaborate. The development result is the document validation model collaboration using the Local Binary Pattern and YOLOv5 methods with the best accuracy results of 95.36%, and the ability of the model to detect the number of seal, stamp and signature components is 90.73%.

Algorithm selection is the main key in producing a system, especially an artificial intelligence-based system, for example, a course scheduling system that involves many constraints in producing an optimal schedule. This research develops a scheduling system using the ICWFPSO algorithm which is a development from previous research, namely the development of a scheduling system using the MIPSO algorithm. The use of inertia weight in the MIPSO algorithm which is used as a scheduling algorithm in previous research can be optimized by using a combination of inertia weight and constriction factor. Scheduling system development is carried out using the waterfall method with research steps namely problem and needs analysis, data collection and literature study, system design, system implementation, and ends with testing the performance of the algorithms that are applied to the scheduling system that is built. Based on the tests carried out, it can be concluded that the ICWFPSO algorithm provides 2 times better performance compared to the MIPSO algorithm in terms of optimal schedule generation time. Meanwhile, tests carried out on CPU and RAM usage showed that there was no significant impact on these two parameters through the implementation of MIPSO and ICWFPSO in the course scheduling system created.

Published: January 2024

Lung diseases caused by fungal or bacterial infections can lead to inflammation in lung and even death when not detected early. A standard method for diagnosing lung diseases is the use of chest X-ray, which require careful examination of X-ray images by a radiology expert. Therefore, this study proposes several new architecture models, namely CSLNet, to classify chest X-ray images for diagnosing whether patients suffer from COVID-19, viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, tuberculosis, and normal. The experimental results show that the model has an 0.99 average Accuracy, 0.98 Precision, 0.98 Recall, and 0.98 f1-score. Meanwhile, the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) for bacterial pneumonia, COVID-19, normal, tuberculosis, and viral pneumonia are 0.97, 0.99, 0.99, 0.94, and 0.97 respectively. This study is based on a deep learning with a new model, CSLNet, which can work well on the dataset of chest X-ray images used for diagnosing lung diseases.

Social media is currently widely used to disseminate various kinds of information, whether expressing feelings, or opinions. Public opinion is no exception regarding government policies and the implementation of emission tests, which describe the conditions that exist in society. Information on public opinion data obtained through social media in real time can assist the government in evaluating policies and improving the quality of currently implemented policies, particularly evaluating the implementation of emission tests on motorized vehicles. In this research, the application of stance analysis is used to evaluate emission test policies based on public opinion.In addition, this research aims to combine several machine learning methods and feature extraction methods to find the best combination based on accuracy, training time, and prediction time based on emission test policies. The best model based on the level of accuracy is a combination of Decision Tree and BERT, which reaches a value of 66%. Meanwhile, based on training time, the model that has the advantage is the Ridge Classifier with fasttext text representation. Based on prediction time, there are 3 combination models, namely Decision Tree with word2vec, SVM with Word2Vec, and Logistic Regression with fasttext text representation.
