Authors: Macedo Liane Brito , Richards Jim , Borges Daniel Tezoni , Melo Samara Alencar , Reis Daniela Dantas , Brasileiro Jamilson Simões
Published: March 2021

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of different taping techniques on back muscle fatigue in people with low back pain. METHODS: Sixty women with chronic non-specific low back pain were randomly assigned to four groups of 15 participants each: control (CG), Kinesio Taping (KT) with tension (KTT), KT no tension (KTNT) and Micropore® (MP), which were applied over the erector spinae muscles. The median frequency (MF) fatigue slopes of the longissimus muscle and sustained contraction time during a trunk fatigue test (Ito test), and pain using the numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) were collected at three time points: pre-treatment, three and ten days after intervention at a university laboratory. RESULTS: Significant differences were seen in the MF slopes between groups (p= 0.01, η2= 0.20), with the KTT showing a mean difference (MD = 0.31, p= 0.04) and KTNT (MD = 0.28, p= 0.04) compared with CG. Significant reductions in NPRS were seen between time points (p< 0.001, η2= 0.28), with a reduction between pre and 3 days (MD = 1.87, p< 0.001), and pre and 10 days (MD = 1.38, p< 0.001), with KTT and KTNT both showing clinically important changes. CONCLUSION: KT, with or without tension, has a tendency to reduce back muscle fatigue and reduce pain in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Authors: Kim Jong Hoon , Park Min Gyu , Wei Qun , Seong Ki Woong , Lee Jyung Hyun
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: Sound normally enters the ear canal, passes through the middle ear, and stimulates the cochlea through the oval window. Alternatively, the cochlea can be stimulated in a reverse manner, namely round window stimulation. The reverse stimulation is not well understood, partly because in classic lumped-parameter models the path of reverse drive during the round window stimulation is usually not considered. OBJECTIVE: The study goal is to gain a better understanding of the hearing mechanism during round window stimulation. METHODS: A piezo actuator was coupled to the oval and round window of the guinea pigs. The auditory brainstem response produced by the forward and reverse stimulation at four frequencies was recorded. RESULTS: The results show that the input voltage of the actuator required at the hearing threshold in the round window drive was higher than that in the oval window drive. In order to understand the data, we designed a lumped-parameter cochlear model that can simulate both forward and reverse drive. The model-predicted results were consistent with the experimental results. CONCLUSIONS: The response of the auditory system to stimulus of oval window and round window was quantified through animal experimentation, and guinea pigs were used as experimental animals. When the same stimulus was applied to the oval window and round window of the cochlea, the ABR signals were compared. A lumped parameter model was designed to incorporate the sound transmission paths in both oval and round window stimulation. The simulated results are consistent with those of animal experiments. This model will be useful in understanding the inner-ear response in round window.
Cancer classification and biomarker selection via a penalized logsum network-based logistic regression model
Authors: Zhou Zhiming , Huang Haihui , Liang Yong
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: In genome research, it is particularly important to identify molecular biomarkers or signaling pathways related to phenotypes. Logistic regression model is a powerful discrimination method that can offer a clear statistical explanation and obtain the classification probability of classification label information. However, it is unable to fulfill biomarker selection. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to give the model efficient gene selection capability. METHODS: In this paper, we propose a new penalized logsum network-based regularization logistic regression model for gene selection and cancer classification. RESULTS: Experimental results on simulated data sets show that our method is effective in the analysis of high-dimensional data. For a large data set, the proposed method has achieved 89.66% (training) and 90.02% (testing) AUC performances, which are, on average, 5.17% (training) and 4.49% (testing) better than mainstream methods. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed method can be considered a promising tool for gene selection and cancer classification of high-dimensional biological data.

Authors: Zhang Xiaoli , Zhang Kuixing , Jiang Mei , Yang Lin
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: Malignant lymphoma is a type of tumor that originated from the lymphohematopoietic system, with complex etiology, diverse pathological morphology, and classification. It takes a lot of time and energy for doctors to accurately determine the type of lymphoma by observing pathological images. OBJECTIVE: At present, an automatic classification technology is urgently needed to assist doctors in analyzing the type of lymphoma. METHODS: In this paper, by comparing the training results of the BP neural network and BP neural network optimized by genetic algorithm (GA-BP), adopts a deep residual neural network model (ResNet-50), with 374 lymphoma pathology images as the experimental data set. After preprocessing the dataset by image flipping, color transformation, and other data enhancement methods, the data set is input into the ResNet-50 network model, and finally classified by the softmax layer. RESULTS: The training results showed that the classification accuracy was 98.63%. By comparing the classification effect of GA-BP and BP neural network, the accuracy of the network model proposed in this paper is improved. CONCLUSIONS: The network model can provide an objective basis for doctors to diagnose lymphoma types.

Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex disease with high incidence and serious harm associated with polygenic determination. This study aimed to develop a predictive model so as to assess the risk of T2DM and apply it to health care and disease prevention in northern China. OBJECTIVE: Based on genotyping results, a risk warning model for type 2 diabetes was established. METHODS: Blood samples of 1042 patients with T2DM in northern China were collected. Multiplex polymerase chain reaction and high-throughput sequencing (NGS) techniques were used to design the amplification-based targeted sequencing panel to sequence the 21 T2DM susceptibility genes. RESULT: The related key gene KQT-like subfamily member 1 played an important role in the T2DM risk model, and single-nucleotide polymorphism rs2237892 was highly significant, with a P value of 1.2 × 10-5. CONCLUSIONS: Susceptibility genes in different populations were examined, and a model was developed to assess the risk-based genetic analysis. The performance of the model reached 92.8%.

Authors: Lee Jyung Hyun , Kim Dong Wook , Seong Ki Woong , Kim Myoung Nam , Cho Jin-Ho
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Recently, with the increase in the population of hearing impaired people, various types of hearing aids have been rapidly developed. In particular, a fully implantable middle ear hearing device (F-IMEHD) is developed for people with sensorineural hearing loss. The F-IMEHD system comprises an implantable microphone, a transducer, and a signal processor. The signal processor should have a small size and consume less power for implantation in a human body. METHODS: In this study, we designed and fabricated a signal-processing chip using the modified FFT algorithm. This algorithm was developed focusing on eliminating time delay and system complexity in the transform process. The designed signal-processing chip comprises a 4-channel WDRC, a fitting memory, a communication 1control part, and a pulse density modulator. Each channel is separated using a 64-point fast Fourier transform (FFT) method and the gain value is matched using the fitting table in the fitting memory. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The chip was designed by Verilog-HDL and the designed HDL codes were verified by Modelsim-PE 10.3 (Mentor graphics, USA). The chip was fabricated using a 0.18 μm CMOS process (SMIC, China). Experiments were performed on a cadaver to verify the performance of the fabricated chip.

Converting from Seepage Irrigation to Plasticulture for Vegetable Production: A Case Study
Authors: Barrett Charles E. , Zotarelli Lincoln , Paranhos Lucas G. , Warren Mark W.
Published: March 2021

This article is intended to provide information to producers and Extension agents that are interested in using drip irrigation for vegetable production. Cabbage production in Florida is dominated by the use of seepage or sub-irrigation. This system has traditionally been used because it is inexpensive to maintain and simple to use. Seepage irrigation works by damming tail water ditches, pumping water into open furrows, and effectively raising the water table to a depth accessible to the crop root system (For more information see EDIS Publication #HS1217). This type of irrigation practice is almost completely unique to Florida and is possible due to the persistence of a shallow, impermeable layer in the soil profile. This system can require vast quantities of water to be pumped from the aquifer in low-rainfall years. Plasticulture, or the use of drip irrigation and plastic mulch, has been proposed as an alternative production method for cabbage production in Florida.

An on-farm demonstration was set up to provide a platform for collaboration between researchers, growers, and Extension professionals. The demonstration was located on Greene’s Farms in Bunnell, FL. The goal of the demonstration was to grow high-density cabbage populations using plasticulture side by side with seepage on a commercial farm. Fertilizer and irrigation management was closely matched between systems. The plasticulture system was designed to provide a small-scale installation of this technology for learning and commercial adaptation purposes. This small-scale system has great potential for encouraging adoption of this type of system with low risk to the grower.

This article illustrates an innovative approach for converting from seepage irrigation to plasticulture and points out some options and challenges for growers considering a plasticulture system.

Intermittent Sprinkler Irrigation for Establishment of Bare Root Strawberry Transplants
Authors: Golden E. A. , Duval John R. , Albregts Earl E. , Howard C. M.
Published: March 2021

Bare rooted strawberry transplants set in black polyethylene mulched beds are established by irrigating continuously for approximately 8 hours daily with overhead sprinklers for 10 to 14 days. Irrigation is provided to reduce the water stress caused by the damaged root system of the transplant, the high surface temperature of the black mulch, the high ambient air temperature, and dry weather condition usually present at time of transplanting. Without irrigation, transplants become defoliated; this results in considerable plant mortality and/or a delay in fruiting. Early yield is economically important in central Florida. This is document HS947, a publication of the Horticultural Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The objective of this study was to characterize the genotype and phenotype of S. aureus isolates from pork sausages. Fifty samples of pork sausages were collected, counts of coagulase-positive Staphylococcus were made and isolates were obtained to identify S. aureus species. In the isolates, the presence of genes sea, seb, sec, and sed was surveyed, the methicillin-resistance was assessed and the production of biofilm in Congo red agar, stainless steel, polyethylene, glass, and pork casing was tested. The capacity of biofilm formation was assessed after the exposure to sublethal stress. Of the samples tested, 12% had counts superior to what is permitted by the legislation. S. aureus was isolated in 44% of the samples. Of these, 54% had only the gene sed and 32% had genes sec and sed, 73% were classified as methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). Of the MRSA isolates, 62% had only gene sed and 35% had both genes found in this study. Regarding the biofilm formation in Congo red agar, 68% of S. aureus isolates were considered as biofilm formers. After undergoing the sublethal stress, most of the biofilm former isolates proceeded to form biofilm and the non-biofilm former isolates responded in a distinct manner. The condition in which the sublethal stress greatly induced the biofilm formation was the cold. Biofilm production was observed only in the stainless steel and pork casing in 71% and 57% of the isolates tested, respectively. Thus, we stress the importance of implementing good manufacturing practices within the industry to control microbial contamination and biofilm formation.

Foram desenvolvidas 4 formulações de patê utilizando o resíduo da filetagem de tilápia com adição de óleo de orégano: controle sem adição de óleo; 0,03%; 0,06% e 0,09% de óleo. Realizou-se análises de composição centesimal, pH, aw, cor e oxidação lipídica (TBARS). Todas as amostras estavam dentro dos padrões físico-químicos estipulados pela legislação brasileira e apresentaram diminuição do pH durante o período de armazenamento de 90 dias sob refrigeração. Não houve diferença significativa no parâmetro L* e os valores de a* apresentaram uma diminuição durante o armazenamento. Em relação a oxidação lipídica a amostra 0,09% foi semelhante ao controle. Nesse sentido, conclui-se que a produção de patê com adição de óleo de orégano pode ser uma alternativa para o uso do resíduo da indústria de beneficiamento de tilápia.

Objetivo: identificar as possíveis anomalias neurobiológicas e epigenéticas, assim como os efeitos do trauma durante a infância na patogênese do Transtorno de Personalidade Borderline (TPB). Metodologia: para a revisão narrativa, utilizou-se a PubMed, Scielo, UpToDate como base de dados, no período entre 2010 e 2020, resultando em 688 artigos, dos quais 26, distintos por critérios de inclusão, serviram de base para este estudo. Resultados: em neurobiologia, anormalidades foram encontradas, entretanto os estudos não conseguiram comprovar se tais modificações originam o transtorno ou são decorrentes da psicopatologia, enquanto na genética metilações aberrantes de genes – candidatos ou por seleção genômica ampla (GWS)- podem estar ligados a etiologia do TPB. Por fim, a análise dos artigos acerca TPB e trauma infantil revelou que uma porcentagem significativa dos indivíduos com o transtorno sofreu abuso ou indiligência na infância. Considerações finais: a teoria que combina a neurobiologia, a epigenética e o ambiente se mostrou a mais plausível para explicar a etiologia do TPB. Dito isso, mais estudos devem ser realizados a fim de compreender tanto se esses achados são patognômicos do transtorno ou consequências dele, quanto as correlações anatômicas e funcionais, genéticas e ambientais para a patogênese do TPB.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kebijakan hukum pidana yang menghambat penerapan status darurat kesehatan masyarakat pada saat diselenggarakan kekarantinaan kesehatan dan menganalisis sistem pemidanaan yang ideal untuk diterapkan bagi pelaku tindak pidana kekarantinaan kesehatan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif melalui pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara teoretis kebijakan hukum pidana dalam darurat kesehatan masyarakat sulit untuk diterapkan. Substansi Pasal 93 UU Kekarantinaan Kesehatan memuat 2 (dua) jenis delik, yaitu delik formil dan delik materiel. Namun, terdapat penggunaan kata yang masih abstrak di antaranya: perbuatan “menghalang-halangi” serta menempatkan “kedaruratan kesehatan” sebagai “sebab” dalam peraturan tersebut merupakan sebuah kerancuan. Seharusnya rumusan kausalitas pidana dalam sebuah produk hukum pidana dirumuskan sesuai dengan konsepsi awalnya. Oleh karena itu, rumusan delik yang abstrak atau luas akan menghasilkan ketidakpastian hukum, berpotensi tidak dapat diterapkan, dan bertentangan dengan penafsiran yang menyatakan bahwa hukum pidana harus ditafsirkan secara sempit. Merujuk pada keadaan tersebut, maka sistem pemidanaan yang ideal diterapkan ketika terjadi pelanggaran penyelenggaraan kekarantinaan kesehatan, yaitu sistem pemidanaan yang bersifat restoratif dan integratif.Kata kunci: Pandemi Covid-19, Kekarantinaan Kesehatan, Kebijakan Hukum Pidana AbstractThis study aims to determine the legal policy policies that apply Law Number 6 of 2018 concerning Health Quarantine and analyze the ideal punishment system to be applied to health quarantine crimes. The research method used, namely normative research through an invited approach (statute approach). The results show that legal policies in public health emergencies are difficult to implement. The substance of Article 93 of the Health Quarantine Law contains 2 types of offenses, namely formal offenses and material offenses. However, there is a use of the word which is still abstract beside: the act of "obstructing" and placing "health emergency" as "cause" in the regulation is a confusion. The formulation of criminal causality in a criminal law product should be formulated in accordance with its initial conception. Therefore, the abstract or broad formulation of offenses will provide legal uncertainty, which cannot be applied, and contradicts the interpretation which states that criminal law must be interpreted narrowly. Referring to this situation, the ideal punishment system is applied when implementing health quarantine, namely a restorative and integrative system of punishment.Keywords: Covid-19 Pandemic, Health Quarantine Act, Penal Policy
DIMENSI PENGURANGAN PRASANGKA DALAM PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM
Authors: Sugiyar Sugiyar
Published: March 2021

Pengurangan prasangka (prejudice reduction) merupakan salah satu dimensi pendidikan multikultural. Multikultural sesungguhnya mengenali keragaman di sekitar individu agar dapat memahami suatu perbedaan sebagai sunatullah. Perbedaan memiliki peran penyeimbang yang baik dalam kehidupan, manakala setiap individu dapat menerimanya berdasarkan fitrahnya. Multikultural beragama didasarkan pada nilai-nilai universal yang diakui dan dianut oleh setiap pemeluk agama. Nilai-nilai tersebut membentuk pola hubungan yang harmonis dan humanis antar umat seagama maupun antar umat beragama. Keberagaman harus dirawat dan dijaga agar tidak memunculkan konflik sosial. Terjadinya konflik sosial disebabkan banyak faktor, diantaranya ketidakadilan, kesenjangan sosial, maupun adanya kecurigaan (prasangka buruk) terhadap orang lain. Prasangka buruk (سوء الظن) dapat memicu dan menimbulkan disharmoni relasi sosial. Membangun dan menciptakan lingkungan yang harmonis, toleran, humanis, dan demokratis diperlukan keseimbangan olah pikir, olah rasa, dan olah hati.Kata kunci: dimensi, prasangka, pendidikan agama Islam Prejudice reduction is one of the dimensions of multicultural education. Multiculturalism actually recognizes the diversity around individuals in order to understand a difference as sunatullah. Difference has a good balancing role in life, when each individual can accept it based on their nature. Religious multiculturalism is based on universal values that are recognized and embraced by every religious adherent. These values form a pattern of harmonious and humanist relationships between people of the same faith and between religious communities. Diversity must be cared for and maintained so as not to create social conflicts. The occurrence of social conflicts is caused by many factors, including injustice, social inequality, and suspicion (prejudice) against others. Bad prejudice (سوء الظن) can trigger and cause disharmony in social relations. Building and creating a harmonious, tolerant, humanist, and democratic environment requires a balance of thought, feeling, and heart.Keywords: dimensions, prejudice, Islamic religious education
Mengapa Jepang Memilih Hadratussyaikh: Analisa Sejarah Ditunjuknya KH. Hasyim Asy’ari Menjadi Ketua Masyumi
Authors: As'ad Muhammad
Published: March 2021

This article seeks to answer why the Japanese chose KH. Hasyim Asy’ari as the chairman of Masyumi during their occupation in Indonesia (1942-1945). The data was collected from library research by scrutinizing paper and academic works that discuss Indonesia from the 1920s to its independence in 1945. This period is important to understand the historical and political conditions of the country at that time. This article also refers to two magazines of Suara MIAI that began publishing in December 1942 and Suara Masyumi Magazine issued from December 1943 onward. This article argues that the Japanese decision to choose hadratussyaikh was based on political motivation, especially to get the support of the Muslim community for Japanese efforts to fight Allied forces in the Pacific war.
Roles of Macrophages in the Development and Treatment of Gut Inflammation
Authors: Han Xuebing , Ding Sujuan , Jiang Hongmei , Liu Gang
Published: March 2021

Macrophages, which are functional plasticity cells, have the ability to phagocytize and digest foreign substances and acquire pro-(M1-like) or anti-inflammatory (M2-like) phenotypes according to their microenvironment. The large number of macrophages in the intestinal tract, play a significant role in maintaining the homeostasis of microorganisms on the surface of the intestinal mucosa and in the continuous renewal of intestinal epithelial cells. They are not only responsible for innate immunity, but also participate in the development of intestinal inflammation. A clear understanding of the function of macrophages, as well as their role in pathogens and inflammatory response, will delineate the next steps in the treatment of intestinal inflammatory diseases. In this review, we discuss the origin and development of macrophages and their role in the intestinal inflammatory response or infection. In addition, the effects of macrophages in the occurrence and development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and their role in inducing fibrosis, activating T cells, reducing colitis, and treating intestinal inflammation were also reviewed in this paper.

Authors: Sandrone Stefano , Alavian Kambiz N.
Published: March 2021

Threshold concepts are recent, yet already established, aspects of medical education. However, they represent a new area in neuroscience education, especially given the recency of neuroscience as a field of research in its own right when compared to more established STEM disciplines. In this article, we reviewed the existing literature on threshold concepts in clinical/translational neuroscience education and argued the relevance and the importance of biomarker as a new threshold concept. Moreover, we included a set of recommendations for practice that has the potential to improve the students' experience by offering them an authentic journey and, ultimately, to build a community of practice with shared goals and an enhanced diversity, with beneficial effects at several societal levels.

Published: March 2021

Teachers need the knowledge and dispositions to identify and dismantle barriers contributing to persistent educational inequity. This work begins by centering equity in teacher education with a focus on developing teachers’ critical consciousness of the systems of power and privilege in educational institutions. Utilizing equity-focused instruction and coaching, this study explored the development of preservice teachers’ Equity Consciousness and Equity Literacy knowledge and dispositions during a teaching-coaching-reflection transformative learning experience. Participants demonstrated increased Equity Consciousness and Equity Literacy, recognizing their assumptions about learners’ lived experiences and the funds of knowledge students bring to the learning environment. Findings from this empirical study indicate this approach contributes to the development of the equity-based dispositions essential to dismantling current educational barriers and replacing them with inclusive and empowering instructional practices.
