Eddy Current Testing Basics and Innovation
Authors: Wassink Casper , Grenier Marc , Sirois Michael , Allard Anne-Marie , Berthier Jonathan
Published: April 2021

Eddy current testing is considered a theoretically challenging technique. Out of all the different nondestructive testing (NDT) methods, the electromagnetic testing (ET) method (of which eddy current testing is a technique) is probably the most difficult for understanding theory. This is perhaps why the last Materials Evaluation Back to Basics paper on eddy current testing is from 2006, which is a long time ago given the amount of innovation in the technique that has taken place since then (Hansen and Peoples 2006). In this paper we will show what has changed due to recent innovations. We first will present the physics, and then explain how modern equipment assists the user in distinguishing between different physical phenomena. Although this paper is on conventional eddy current testing, we will also mention some other ET techniques along with their advantages and disadvantages.

Objective: Hemorrhagic fever is a very serious complication of dengue, which remains a major public health concern in the Philippines. On average, there are 170, 503 symptomatic dengue infections and 750 deaths reported in 4 years, with an incidence of around 180 dengue episodes per 100, 000, and a case fatality rate of approximately 0.44%, owing mostly to bleeding secondary to thrombocytopenia, with reported mortalities occurring among individuals less than 20 years of age. In most rural areas in the country, a health care institution is often inaccessible and most patients cannot afford the high cost of hospitalization and transfusion. In a local study of the knowledge, attitude, and practices on dengue, herbal medicines including “tawa-tawa” and papaya are often used as an alternative supportive treatment due to easy availability and low cost. Animal studies also support a potential therapeutic effect. The objective of this review is to assess the effects of C. papaya leaf extract as an adjunct treatment among patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever using a systematically searched and synthesized meta-analysis.

Materials and Methods: Six randomized clinical trials with a total of 988 subjects involving the efficacy of C. papaya leaf extract in increasing platelet count in dengue patients were searched through PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Science Direct and selected after assessing the eligibility and validity of the articles through a standard criterion. Mean difference of platelet counts from days 1 to 5 were pooled together and analyzed by Review Manager (RevMan) software 5.3.

Results: Pooled estimates revealed significant increase in platelet count at Day 3 (MD=12.18; CI 10.28-14.08), Day 4 (MD=31.30; CI 27.77-34.83), and Day 5 (MD=13.23; CI 9.90-16.55). Random effects model at Day 5 also showed significant increase in platelet count. Likewise, a subgroup analyses of studies based on route of administration, frequency, and dosage were performed and showed significant increase in platelet count.

Conclusion: Based on this meta-analysis, supplementation with C. papaya leaf extract in patients with dengue shows a beneficial effect in increasing platelet count.

Un 53,3% de los padres presentaron estrés, destacando síntomas tales como tensión muscular, insomnio e irritabilidad. Se concluye que es necesario implementar programas que favorezcan la conciliación entre la familia y el trabajo, promoviendo la calidad de vida de los padres y el envolvimiento con sus hijos.
¿Cómo superar las pobrezas generadas por la conservación? Desarrollo endógeno en las comunidades mapuche aledañas al Parque Nacional Villarrica, Chile
Authors: Marín-Herrera Maritza
Published: April 2021

En esta investigación, se exploran las alternativas a las formas de gestionar el territorio, que construyen las comunidades mapuche aledañas al sur del Parque Nacional Villarrica (PNV). Igual que otras unidades de conservación, el establecimiento del PNV implicó invisibilizar las prácticas ancestrales y alejarles de las riquezas materiales y simbólicas presentes en el territorio. Ante las políticas propias del modelo de desarrollo dominante que coloca su interés en el potencial turístico, en los bienes y en los servicios ecosistémicos presentes en la zona, se torna relevante el contenido que las comunidades le dan a este espacio desde sus propias capacidades, buscando un tipo de desarrollo alternativo que facilite experimentar la autodeterminación y enfrentar el empobrecimiento. Se concluye que la reapropiación territorial del PNV es fundamental para superar las pobrezas inmateriales y que las comunidades cuentan con herramientas propias para gestionar de manera autónoma y sinérgica el territorio.
Derechos humanos y política migratoria. Discriminación arbitraria en el control de fronteras en Chile
Authors: Pavez-Soto Iskra , Colomés Sofía
Published: April 2021

Los derechos humanos deben ser considerados en las políticas migratorias de los Estados modernos, sin embargo, este asunto se tensiona con el principio de soberanía, que permite el control de las fronteras de esos Estados; cuando el control fronterizo vulnera los derechos humanos de las personas migrantes se considera disciminación arbitaria.El objetivo de este artículo es identificar los vacíos legales y las garantías jurídicas que existen en diversos instrumentos legislativos y proyectos de ley sobre migraciones que permiten evitar la discriminación arbitraria en el control fronterizo, especialmente en el norte del país; el estudio se llevó a cabo mediante análisis documental y entrevistas a expertos.Los resultados demuestran que si bien hay avances en diversas materias -como la creación de nueva institucionalidad y el reconocimiento de los derechos humanos en los proyectos de ley-, no contemplan ni dan solución efectiva al vacío legal que facilita la discriminación arbitraria.

The Shariah audit framework from practitioners’ perspective: A mirage or fact?
Authors: Mohamad Puad Noor Aimi , Abdullah Nurdianawati Irwani , Shafii Zurina
Published: April 2021

The positive development of Islamic financial system nowadays leads to the growth of products and services offered by Islamic financial institutions. However, some of them may have overlooked certain aspects that could affect Shariah-compliancy of the products and services. The occurrence of Shariah non-compliance risk may would adversely affect the reputation of Islamic finance and the confidence of market participants among depositors and investors. This scenario calls for a systematic check-and-balance functions within the institution. Shariah auditor being one of the components of Shariah governance plays an important role in ensuring the effectiveness of internal control system for Shariah compliance. Prior research reveals that the standard Shariah audit framework has not been developed yet; thus, the present practice is carried out by the internal institutional effort which heavily relies on the conventional audit system. The aim of this study is to explore the relevancy of Shariah audit framework from the eyes of practitioners of various Islamic financial institutions; whether it is a new innovative discipline or merely replicating the conventional audit structure. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted involving selected auditors, Shariah compliance officers and Shariah committee members. Thematic analyses were adopted to analyze the data. It can be deduced that there is a need for a specific Shariah audit framework as a benchmark but with certain requirements and limitations. This study may provide relevant guidelines especially for policymaker in developing a standardized specific framework for Shariah audit.

A statistical software SPSS version 26 was used to analyze the data.

Results: There were a total of 207,860 confirmed cases and 8779 deaths across six different regions around the world from 31 December 2019 to 19 March 2020, with the highest AR of 9.92/100,000 population in Europe region, followed by Asia (2.7/ 100,000), Australia (1.75/100,000), North America (1.42/100,000), South America (0.23/100,000) and Africa (0.06/100,000) regions. Study results revealed statistically significant association between attack rates and the six regions of the world (p=0.002), meaning that AR varied in the regions around the world. The CFR was high in Europe region (4.81%), followed by Asia (4.06%), Africa (2.72%), South America (1.41%), Australia (1.12%), and North America (0.69%) regions. Data reviewed from different countries revealed that the highest number of cases was confirmed in the United States, followed by Spain and Italy. The findings revealed that the reported confirmed cases varied widely in different regions of the world.

Conclusion: The severity and variation in -geographical distribution of COVID-19 cases and deaths suggest that urgent response from various government and public health authorities should be taken and research regarding underlying factors determining this severity should be sought for.

A COVID-19, doença pandêmica, não possui sua patogenia completamente esclarecida embora se trate de uma infecção polissistêmica que pode inclusive apresentar manifestações orais, devido à capacidade do vírus SARS-CoV-2 se ligar a enzima conversora de angiotensina 2 (ACE-2). A presente revisão integrativa da literatura tem como objetivo identificar as principais manifestações orais da infecção pelo vírus SARS- CoV2 e buscar estabelecer se há ou não relação entre o surgimento das manifestações bucais com o quadro sistêmico e prognóstico desse paciente. Para realização desse trabalho utilizou-se a base de dados Pubmed, com a seleção de 11 artigos, após aplicação de critério de inclusão e exclusão, baseados na estratégia PRISMA-ScR para análise qualitativa. Os resultados demonstram que as manifestações orais mais prevalentes associadas à COVID-19 são a candidose oral e as lesões ulceradas, mas também podem surgir lesões herpéticas, gengivite descamativa, periodontite necrosante, entre outras. Além disso, apresentam o comprometimento gustativo como o sintoma mais comum sendo a disgeusia o mais predominante. E embora alguns pesquisadores já relatem associação entre manifestações mais graves da doença e disseminação das lesões orais, mais estudos clínicos e randomizados são necessários para elucidar de maneira definitiva a relação entre as manifestações orais e o prognóstico da síndrome sistêmica da COVID-19.

Exercise Is Medicine® On Campus (EIM-OC) is a worldwide initiative from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) to promote physical activity (PA) at universities. California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB) implemented this initiative in Fall 2019 with offerings to students and employees. For employees, an “Introduction to Resistance Training Class” was offered. Participants attended classes two times per week, with the sessions lasting approximately fifty minutes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the EIM-OC employee Introduction to Resistance Training class for its effectiveness on increasing PA, self-efficacy, and outcome expectancy. The research design was pre-post, with participants completing online questionnaires before and after the course. The Godin Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire (LTPQ), Resistance Training Self-Efficacy and Outcome Expectancy Questionnaire, and Self-Efficacy and the Maintenance of Exercise Participation in Older Adults Questionnaire were included. The training class had a total of 14 female participants, 12 of which completed the pre- and post-questionnaires. There was a significant increase (t=-3.2, df=11, p=.004) in resistance training self-efficacy score following the course (M=3.52±1.03 versus M=4.31±.56). Resistance training outcome expectancy score was also statistically significant (t=-2.54, df=11, p=.01) following the course (M=4.48±.53 versus M=4.71±.37). There were increases in strenuous exercise days, physical activity scores, and future resistance training self-efficacy, although they were not statistically significant. The results of this study indicate that employee exercise classes, as part of the EIM-OC initiative, can be effective in increasing resistance training self-efficacy, and outcome expectancy. These indicators are important for individuals to maintain lifelong PA therefore future programming and research on EIM-OC should continue.

Can a Constitutional Monarch Influence Democratic Preferences? The Regulation of Public Expression in Japan
Authors: Annaka Susumu , Kato Gento
Published: April 2021

This study examines whether non-political symbolic figures, such as the emperor of Japan, have any influence on ideological attitudes under a democracy. We design a unique survey experiment regarding the regulation of public expression. This issue can be framed both as left-wing (i.e., the regulation of hate speech) and right-wing (i.e., the regulation of publicly funded anti-nationalistic exhibitions). Taking advantage of the dual nature of the issue, we test the effects of the emperor's endorsement on support for regulation under each ideological framework. The results indicate that the (former) emperor's endorsement for freedom of expression does have a cross-cutting effect and decreases support for regulation. This effect is relatively small but statistically significant. Additionally, the findings provide weak evidence for the emperor's own ideological position conditioning his endorsement effect. These results provide new insights into how supposedly non-political popular figures can influence the formation of political preferences.

The objective of this study is to investigate the compaction characteristics of cold recycled mixtures with asphalt emulsion (CRME) using the Superpave gyratory compactor (SGC) method. Five characteristic parameters were proposed and calculated including the compaction energy index, the compaction energy index, three compaction energy indicators at different compaction stages. The influence of these parameters and material compositions were analyzed for the pavement performance. The difference between SGC and Marshall double-sided compaction/heavy compaction method was compared. The results show that the proposed parameters can better reflect the compaction characteristics of CRME, and the mixture effect with SGC of 50 gyrations was close to that with 75 blows using the Marshall compaction. The asphalt emulsion contents and compaction temperatures had a significant effect on compaction characteristics, but the effect of aggregate gradations was not significant. The appropriate asphalt emulsion and the new aggregate content can increase the capability of the CRME to resist the permanent deformation. The optimum mixing water content of CRME obtained by the SGC method was reduced by 18%, but the density increased by 3.5%, compared with the heavy compaction method. Finally, a new idea to determine the optimum emulsified asphalt content of CRME was provided through analyzing the compaction characteristic parameters.
Automatic Calibration of Piezoelectric Bed-Leaving Sensor Signals Using Genetic Network Programming Algorithms

Published: April 2021

This paper presents a filter generating method that modifies sensor signals using genetic network programming (GNP) for automatic calibration to absorb individual differences. For our earlier study, we developed a prototype that incorporates bed-leaving detection sensors using piezoelectric films and a machine-learning-based behavior recognition method using counter-propagation networks (CPNs). Our method learns topology and relations between input features and teaching signals. Nevertheless, CPNs have been insufficient to address individual differences in parameters such as weight and height used for bed-learning behavior recognition. For this study, we actualize automatic calibration of sensor signals for invariance relative to these body parameters. This paper presents two experimentally obtained results from our earlier study. They were obtained using low-accuracy sensor signals. For the preliminary experiment, we optimized the original sensor signals to approximate high-accuracy ideal sensor signals using generated filters. We used fitness to assess differences between the original signal patterns and ideal signal patterns. For application experiments, we used fitness calculated from the recognition accuracy obtained using CPNs. The experimentally obtained results reveal that our method improved the mean accuracies for three datasets.
Crop Diversification to Control Powdery Mildew in Pea

Published: April 2021

Pea is a temperate grain legume cultivated worldwide that can be severely constrained by powdery mildew infection. Control by fungicides and the use of resistant cultivars is possible, but there is a growing interest in alternative control methods such as crop diversification, particularly in low input agriculture. The aim of this work was to assess the potential of intercropping pea with other crops and of pea cultivar mixtures for powdery mildew management on pea crop. Results show a reduction of powdery mildew on pea when intercropped by replacement at a 50:50 ratio with barley or with faba bean, but not when intercropped with wheat. A barrier effect seems to explain a major part of this decrease, especially in the pea/barley intercrop. This hypothesis was further supported by inoculated seedlings under controlled conditions, where powdery mildew infection on pea decreased with the distance to the inoculation point, this decrease being larger in the intercrop with barley than in the intercrop with wheat and in the pea monocrop. Powdery mildew was also reduced in the mixture of resistant and susceptible cultivars, with infection decreasing with the increasing proportions of the resistant one. Overall, this work shows that crop diversification may be a good strategy to reduce powdery mildew in pea.

To examine physiological responses of garlic to salinity, 17-day-old seedlings of eight soft-neck accessions were treated with 200 mM NaCl for seven days in a hydroponic system. Several morphological and physiological traits were measured at the end of the treatment, including shoot height, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, root length, root fresh weight, root dry weight, photosynthesis rate, and concentrations of Na+ and K+ in leaves. The principal component analysis showed that shoot dry weight and K+/Na+ ratio contribute the most to salt tolerance among the garlic accessions. As a result, salt-tolerant and sensitive accessions were grouped based on these two parameters. Furthermore, to investigate the molecular mechanisms in garlic in response to salinity, the transcriptomes of leaves and roots between salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive garlic accessions were compared. Approximately 1.5 billion read pairs were obtained from 24 libraries generated from the leaves and roots of the salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive garlic accessions. A total of 47,509 genes were identified by mapping the cleaned reads to the garlic reference genome. Statistical analysis indicated that 1282 and 1068 genes were upregulated solely in the tolerant leaves and roots, whereas 1505 and 1203 genes were downregulated exclusively in the tolerant leaves and roots after NaCl treatment, respectively. Functional categorization of these genes revealed their involvement in a variety of biological processes. Several genes important for carotenoid biosynthesis, auxin signaling, and K+ transport were strongly altered in roots by NaCl treatment and could be candidate genes for garlic salt tolerance improvement.

Published: April 2021

Aims: To investigate the association between periodontal disease and systemic inflammatory conditions and examine the link between medical conditions and the extent of missing teeth in a large population. Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 4890 randomly selected patients who had attended the University of Minnesota dental clinics were analyzed. Severity of periodontal disease was determined based on the percentage of bone loss, evaluated through the examination of a full-mouth intraoral series of radiographs. The number of missing teeth was calculated from the examined radiographs, while ten systemic inflammatory conditions were extracted from patients’ self-reported medical histories. Results: Moderate bone loss was observed in 730 (14.9%) and severe in 323 (6.6%) patients of the total population, while the mean number of missing teeth was 3.54 ± 3.93. The prevalence of systemic conditions and tobacco use were gender-dependent (p < 0.05). Regression analysis showed that hypertension, arthritis, asthma, diabetes and HIV were associated significantly with the severity of bone loss, while diabetes and lupus with the extent of missing teeth. Conclusions: The findings reported in our study add to this body of knowledge, strengthening the association between periodontal disease with systemic inflammatory conditions.
