Published: May 2021

The use of digital applications as a learning medium is one of the efforts to integrate technology and education. This descriptive qualitative research aims at figuring out how are the characters of Stop Motion Studio (SMS) and Life Lapse (LL), and how the preferences of both applications are used on a gender basis during the teaching-learning process at the English Letters Department, IAIN Surakarta. The SMS and LL are taken into account as the main sources of user interface characteristics. Further, there are 32 students of History of English Language and Literature (HELL) involved in this study to response to the applications’ user interface based on the gender through questionnaire and interview. The results exhibit a more neutral design of SMS compared to a more feminine LL. Secondly, gender indeed plays role in choosing the application between SMS and LL. Yet more detailed reasons for the preference are the ease of usage and feature completeness.

Perbandingan Konsep Linguistik ‘Abd al-Qāhir al-Jurjānī dan Ferdinand de Saussure: Kajian Konseptual
Authors: Mukhotob Hamzah
Published: May 2021

Previous scholars in linguistics studies have focused only on the theory proposed by European linguists, one of them is Ferdinand de Saussure from Swiss. However, long before Saussure’s concept has been popularized, in the fourth century, the Arab world has already had the concept of linguistics initiated by ‘Abd al-Qāhir al-Jurjānī. This study compared al-Jurjānī and de Saussure theoretical concepts by employing library research. This study shows that al-Jurjānī and de Saussurre are similar in several ways, (1) related to langue and parole vis-à-vis al-lughah and al-kalām. al-Jurjānī called it al-lughah for a theory, and al-kalām as the practice of the theory or the words of each individual. Meanwhile, de Saussure said that langue is a system and structure that is in the cognition of certain citizens of society, and parole is its application, (2) related to signifies and signifiant vis-à-vis lafẓ and ma‘ná. Both of them both think that language is not just a word or sentence, both oral and written in such a way, but a system of signs, (3) related to syntagmatics and paradigmatics vis-à-vis al-jiwār and al-ikhtiyār in discussing the relationships that govern the components of linguistic structures.

Authors: Aldahlee Zainab Tuama
Published: May 2021

Transgenic plants offer advantages for the manufacture of recombinant proteins with terminalmannose residues on their glycan chains. So plants are chosen as source of pharmaceutical products and forthe development of alternative expression systems to produce recombinant lysosomal enzymes. In thepresent study the sequence of the natural cDNA encoding for the human lysosomal enzymeglucocerebrosidase (GCD) was modified to enhance its expression in soybean plants. The glucocerebrosidasegene signal peptide was substituted with that signal peptide for the Arabidopsis thaliana basic endochitinasegene to support the co-translational translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and the storagevacuole. So, targeting signal from tobacco chitinase A, to facilitate GCD trafficking from the ER to thestorage vacuole, appropriate primers were designed containing both an ER and vacuolar targeting signals,(VTS). Those primers were used for PCR amplification of the human GBA gene (Hu-GBA) gene fromconstructed PGEM-GBA plasmid which was cloned in the plant expression vector pCAMBIA1304. Theresulted construct was transported in Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 and was used fortransformation of cotyledon explants. After 5-day of seedling, cotyledons were cut and used as explants.After infection and co-cultivation, hygromycin B was added in selection media as a selective agent for thetransformants cotyledons. The presence of the Hu-GBA transgene in the genomes of transgenic plants wasdetermined by polymerase chain reaction PCR as a band of size1587 bp. The GBA mRNA expression inmodified soybean was detected by qRT-PCR compared with control GBA mRNA.

Published: May 2021

Six house-hold Abyssinian pumps distributed in different villages of Mansoura (Mans-I, Mans-II and Mans-III) and Talkha (Talk-I, Talk-II and Talk-III) cities, Egypt, have been selected for regular seasonal water quality assessment during 2017. Water samples have been collected within the mid-periods of four seasons Standard assessment tools were employed for the integrated water quality assessment including Water Quality Index (WQI) and ISO standard algal toxicity test. WQI displayed remarkable local and seasonal variations with excellent (≥ 90) and good (70 - 89) only recorded for water samples collected from Mans-I pump located in sparsely populated area and far 50 meters only from the eastern (Damietta) branch of Nile River. WQI of other pumps located in densely populated areas and far kilometers from the Nile branch indicated either medium (50-69) or bad (25-49) quality depending on sampling season and sampling site location. All water samples collected from the pump Mans-I were non toxic without any inhibitory effects on the growth of the standard test alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata. Water samples from all other pumps, however, showed obvious toxic effects on test algae growth with varying EC50 values ranged between15.8% and 83%, depending on water sample and the sampling season. Concisely, all water samples collected from Mans-I pump were health safe with acceptable drinking water guidelines while samples collected from other pumps can impose great human health risks if used for drinking

Published: May 2021

The main purpose of this work is to introduce some types of fuzzy convergence sequences of operators defined on a standard fuzzy normed space (SFN-spaces) and investigate some properties and relationships between these concepts. Firstly, the definition of weak fuzzy convergence sequence in terms of fuzzy bounded linear functional is given. Then the notions of weakly and strongly fuzzy convergence sequences of operators  are introduced and essential theorems related to these concepts are proved. In particular, if ( ) is a strongly fuzzy convergent sequence with a limit  where linear operator from complete standard fuzzy normed space  into a standard fuzzy normed space  then  belongs to the set of all fuzzy bounded linear operators . Furthermore, the concept of a fuzzy compact linear operator in a standard fuzzy normed space is introduced. Also, several fundamental theorems of fuzzy compact linear operators are studied in the same space. More accurately, every fuzzy compact linear operator  is proved to be fuzzy bounded  where  and  are two standard fuzzy normed spaces

Published: May 2021

Although the number of stomach tumor patients reduced obviously during last decades in western countries, but this illness is still one of the main causes of death in developing countries. The aim of this research is to detect the area of a tumor in a stomach images based on fuzzy clustering. The proposed methodology consists of three stages. The stomach images are divided into four quarters and then features elicited from each quarter in the first stage by utilizing seven moments invariant. Fuzzy C-Mean clustering (FCM) was employed in the second stage for each quarter to collect the features of each quarter into clusters. Manhattan distance was calculated in the third stage among all clusters' centers in all quarters to disclosure of the quarter that contains a tumor based on the centroid value of the cluster in this quarter, which is far from the centers of the remaining quarters. From the calculations conducted on several images' quarters, the experimental outcomes show that the centroid value of the cluster in each quarter was greater than 0.9 if this quarter did not contain a tumor while the value of the centroid value for the cluster containing a tumor was less than 0.4.For examples, in a quarter no.1 for STOMACH_1 medical image, the centroid value of the cluster was 0.973 while the value of the cluster centroid in quarter no.3 was 0.280. For this reason the tumor area was found in quarter no.(3) of the medical image STOMACH_1. Also, the centroid value of the cluster in a quarter no.2 was 0.948 for STOMACH_2 while, the value of the cluster centroid in quarter no.4 was 0.397. For this reason the tumor area was found in a quarter no.4 of the medical image STOMACH_2.
Improvement of the Fault Tolerance in IoT Based Positioning Systems by Applying for Redundancy in the Controller Layer

Published: May 2021

In recent years, the positioning applications of Internet-of-Things (IoT) based systems have grown increasingly popular, and are found to be useful in tracking the daily activities of children, the elderly and vehicle tracking. It can be argued that the data obtained from GPS based systems may contain error, hence taking these factors into account, the proposed method for this study is based on the application of IoT-based positioning and the replacement of using IoT instead of GPS.  This cannot, however, be a reason for not using the GPS, and in order to enhance the reliability, a parallel combination of the modern system and traditional methods simultaneously can be applied. Although GPS signals can only be accessed in open spaces, GPS devices are error-prone primarily when the receiver is located in an urban-canyons area, due to congestion and the possible interference. The outcome presents a redundancy-based model for improving the fault tolerance of IoT-based positioning systems. The simulation results show a 22.5% improvement in the fault tolerance of the IoT-based positioning system after applying the proposed validation mechanism, and a 77.4% improvement in this tolerance after applying for a more expensive module redundancy.
Enhancement of Electron Temperature under Dense Homogenous Plasma by Pulsed Laser Beam

Published: May 2021

The applications of hot plasma are many and numerous applications require high values of the temperature of the electrons within the plasma region. Improving electron temperature values is one of the important processes for using this specification in plasma for being adopted in several modern applications such as nuclear fusion, plating operations and in industrial applications. In this work, theoretical computations were performed to enhance electron temperature under dense homogeneous plasma. The effect of   power and duration time of pulsed Nd:YAG laser   was studied on the heating of   plasmas  by inverse bremsstrahlung  for  several values for the electron density ratio. There results for these calculations showed that the effect of increasing the values of the laser pulse power (25-250kW) led to decrease the absorption coefficient values by 58.3% and increase the electron temperature by 50.0% at duration pulse time 0.5ns and electron density ratio 0.1. Furthermore, the ratio of electron density increasing and pulse duration time led to increase the higher values of the electron temperature. The results of the calculations showed the effect of the laser power, the percentage of electron density, and the pulse duration for improving the electron temperature. It is possible to control the temperature of the electrons with one of the plasma parameters or the laser beam used, and that it gives a clear indication of researchers in this field to choose the optimal wavelength of the laser beam and    electron density ratios for the plasma.

Introdução: A odontologia restauradora vem evoluindo em busca de materiais restauradores que mimetizem a estrutura dentária e seus efeitos ópticos, sendo um grande desafio nas pesquisas dos materiais dentários. Objetivo: Avaliar e comparar a alteração cromática de três resinas bulk-fill (Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill; Aura Bulk Fill; Filtek Bulk Fill) e uma resina convencional (Filtek Z250) após a exposição diária ao café num período de 28 dias. Materiais e métodos: 80 corpos de prova foram confeccionados, divididos em 4 grupos de cada resina estudada (n=20), armazenados em água destilada, trocada diariamente. E em 8 subgrupos (n=10), sendo 4 experimentais (de cada resina), submetidos à imersão diária de 20 minutos em solução de café durante 28 dias e 4 subgrupos controle mantidos em água destilada. A tomada de cor foi realizada no baseline, 7, 14 e 28 dias, por meio do método subjetivo (Escala Vita Classical), por 2 avaliadores em consenso e também no baseline e após 28 dias pelo método objetivo (Vita Easy Shade). Resultados: Análise comparativa entre os grupos controle e experimentais demonstrou alteração de cor em todas as resinas compostas analisadas. O café promoveu manchamento significativo em todos os tempos, nas avaliações subjetivas e objetivas. Conclusão: As resinas compostas bulk-fill apresentaram estabilidade de cor de semelhante a superior à resina composta convencional frente à exposição diária ao café, ressaltando-se a importância da realização de acabamento e polimento para minimizar manchamento.

Dentes tratados endodonticamente, com canais amplos e grande perda de remanescente são de difícil reabilitação, tornando-se grande desafio para cirurgiões dentistas. Esses casos frequentemente requerem utilização de pinos para restabelecimento funcional e estético. Este trabalho teve como objetivo relatar um caso clínico de substituição do pino metálico por pino de fibra de vidro personalizado com resina composta. Paciente, sexo feminino, compareceu a uma clínica odontológica privada na cidade do Recife-PE, ao exame clinico e radiográfico apresentava incisivo central superior direito, com tratamento endodôntico insatisfatório e núcleo metálico fundido. Foi indicado a substituição por um pino de fibra de vidro anatomizado com resina composta. Realizou-se retratamento endodôntico. O pino de fibra foi desinfetado com álcool 70%, preparado com Silano, sistema adesivo e fotopolimerização. A resina composta foi depositada sobre o pino, levado ao conduto, fazendo movimentos de inserção e remoção, copiando o formato intrarradicular. O cimento resinoso autoadesivo dual foi utilizado e porção coronária reconstruída. O uso do pino de fibra de vidro mostrou-se uma excelente opção para o tratamento reabilitador de dentes fragilizados, absorvendo melhor cargas mastigatórias, maior adaptação as paredes do canal, além da longevidade da reabilitação restauradora.

Background. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is a standard of care for locally advanced breast cancer patients. One of the main advantages of NACT is the reduction of the tumor size and regression of lymph node metastasis.

The aim of the study was to analyze the outcomes of breast-conserving surgery after NACT compared to adjuvant chemotherapy, including the examination of the width of resection margins and the frequency of re-operations, the volume of tissue removed and cosmetic outcomes.

Material and Methods. We analyzed 1219 publications available from pubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, 1057 of them did not meet the inclusion criteria, 162 publications were selected to cover all the following inclusion criteria: surgical margin status, frequency of re-operations, volume of tissue removed and cosmetic outcomes. Finally, 22 studies met fully specified criteria.

Results. Studies included in this review demonstrated a different frequency of positive resection margins (2–39.8 %), reoperations (0–45.4 %), the volume of tissue removed (43.2–268 cm3), and the weight of the resected breast tissue (26.4–233 grams) after NACT.  

Conclusion. The data obtained showed a decrease in the frequency of positive resection margins and re-operations in patients who received NACT compared to patients who did not receive NACT (5–39.8 % versus 13.1–46 % and 0–45.4 % versus 0–76.5 %, respectively), as well as a decrease in the amount of the removed breast tissue without the negative effect on the frequency of resection margins, thus allowing minimization of the extent of surgery and improvement of cosmetic outcomes.

Owing to the development of molecular genetics, the role of radiation therapy and chemotherapy in treatment of patients with glioma (WHO Grade I–IV) has become more understandable. The overall survival among glioma patients has increased. As overall survival increases, oncologists are more likely to detect manifestations of late radiation toxicity that has a huge impact on Quality of Life in patients who have undergone radiation therapy in the past. In this regard, the question of finding more adequate radiation therapy techniques remains relevant. photon radiation therapy is the standard method; however, considering dosimetric advantages of proton therapy over photon therapy, its widespread use can potentially lead to the increased overall survival, decreased number of late radiation-induced complications and improved quality of life in the post-radiation period. This article presents some comparative characteristics of proton and photon radiation therapy in patients with gliomas (WHO Grade I–IV). dosimetry characteristics of protons in tissues were compared, data showing differences in survival of patients treated with photons versus patients treated with protons were presented, and general information on early and late  radiation-induced toxicity arising from the treatment by these methods was disclosed.

In this paper, we describe the case of successful surgical treatment of a rare combination of three malignant tumors of the major duodenal papilla in one patient. A 59-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, weight loss and obstructive jaundice. After routine examination, the patient with suspected cancer of the major duodenal papilla underwent pylorus-sparing pancreatoduodenal resection. Final histology revealed a rare collision of three types of cancer in the major duodenal papilla invading the pancreatic head: moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma (30 %), moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (20 %) and poorly differentiated small cell neuroendocrine cancer (50 %), surgical resection margins were intact. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed positivity for synaptophysin, chromogranin A and cytokeratin 5/6. The tumor diameter of 2 cm and the absence of signs of locoregional spread allowed the process to be staged as T2N0M0, so the patient did not receive any adjuvant treatment. Follow-up CT performed 6 months later showed two lesions in the liver, and biopsy of one of them was performed. Metastasis of neuroendocrine cancer was histologically and immunohistochemically verified. She started first-line chemotherapy with etoposide + cisplatin.
