Authors: Fahmawati Dina
Published: January 2020

Cigarette smoke contains nicotine which disturbs health. Nicotine is capable of reducing the taste of food, so  there is appetite suppressant. The ability of nicotine in increasing blood liposuction process can affect the increase in blood cholesterol level. The research aims to study the difference between food intake and blood cholesterol level between smokers and non-smokers. This study was a comparative observational analytic study using cross-sectional design. The data of particular  subjects and smoking habit were  obtained from the questionnaire. The food intake was obtained by interview using 2x24 hours food recall form while the blood cholesterol level was obtained by blood sampling which was then analyzed using laboratory test. The subjects were 13 smokers and 13 non-smokers, taken by simple random sampling. The data were analyzed by Independent t-Test. The results have suggested that the difference in the average  food intake and  blood cholesterol level between smokers and non-smokers were not significant. The substantial average difference was found in the level of cholesterol intake, so  the statistical test has showed a significant difference, p-value = 0.005 < α(0.05). Smoking has a harmful effect for health so  people must decrease its consumption or stay abstinent from it. The longer human get exposed to cigarette, the more susceptible they get the illness from it.

Authors: Gautier Antoine , Cookson Sarah J. , Lagalle Loïc , Ollat Nathalie , Marguerit Elisa
Published: January 2020

Background and aims: In most viticultural areas of the world, Vitis vinifera grapevines require grafting onto phylloxera-tolerant rootstocks of American origin. The species most commonly used in rootstock creation are Vitis berlandieri, V. riparia and V. rupestris. Rootstocks not only provide tolerance to phylloxera but also ensure the supply of water and mineral nutrients to the scion. The aim of the study was to investigate the extent to which rootstocks with different genetic backgrounds modify the mineral composition of the petioles of the scion.Methods and results: Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet-Sauvignon grapevines were grafted onto rootstocks of 13 different genotypes and planted in a vineyard in three blocks. Petiolar concentrations of 13 mineral elements at veraison (berry softening) were determined. The genetic background of the rootstock had significant effects on the mineral composition of the petioles. Use of rootstocks with a genetic background including at least one Vitis riparia parent decreased the concentration of phosphorus and magnesium and increased the concentration of sulphur in the petioles of Cabernet-Sauvignon.Conclusion: Rootstocks with a Vitis riparia genetic background confer low petiolar concentrations of phosphorus and magnesium, and conversely, high petiolar concentration of sulphur.Significance of the study: The kind of rootstock onto which a grapevine has been grafted is known to influence the nutrient content of the scion. The results of the study show a significant relation between the genetic background of a rootstock and its ability to modify concentrations of phosphorus, magnesium and sulphur in the petioles of the scion under field conditions.

Authors: Fauzi Ilham
Published: January 2020

Suara merupakan salah satu bentuk komunikasi yang dapat dilakukan oleh manusia. Manusia memiliki kemampuan untuk membedakan identitas seseorang yang mereka kenal, hal tersebut dikarenakan setiap manusia memiliki ciri atau karakteristik suara yang berbeda antara satu dengan yang lainnya. Pengenalan Suara dibedakan menjadi dua jenis, yaitu verifikasi suara dan identifikasi suara. Verifikasi suara menentukan subjek suara, (apakah suara yang di dengarkan merupakan suara seseorang yang dikenali). Sedangkan identifikasi suara menentukan secara spesifik identitas pembicara.

Pada sinyal suara terdapat banyak parameter yang perlu diperhatikan, mulai dari parameter yang bersifat subjektif seperti logat yang dihasilkan, dan dialek yang digunakan , maupun parameter yang ersifat objektif (dapat diukur secara akustik). Permasalahan yang diadapi adalah bagaimana cara mengekstrasi ciri dari sinyal suara yang kompleks sehingga menghasilkan data baru yang lebih praktis tanpa menghilangkan karakteristik sinyal suara tersebut. Parameter yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah frekuensi, amplitudo, dan delay, menggunakan metode Fast Fourier Transform untuk mengenali suara pria dan wanita berdasarkan dialek.
Development and validation of a critical thinking framework
Authors: Worthington Paisley
Published: January 2020

Critical thinking (CT) is essential in many higher-order thinking skills and should be enhanced by higher education programs. The Model of Integrated Thinking Skills (MITS) was developed to help students developing CT, assist educators teaching CT, and satisfy the following three criteria: 1) completely and objectively describe CT, 2) distinguish CT from other skills, and 3) be used by all disciplines.  A validation survey determined how MITS is perceived with respect to the three criteria.  Most participants perceived that MITS meets the three criteria, suggesting that MITS can assist student development of CT.

Published: January 2020

Background:
Fasting places prohibitions on eating and drinking for a certain period of time. Although many dental treatments have been said to be safe and can be performed while fasting, other may result in breaking of fast. The study aims to evaluate the perception of dental patients of Lahore, Pakistan regarding effect of such treatments and hygiene measures during fasting.

Methods :
It was a cross-sectional survey carried out in 2 dental teaching hospitals of Lahore, Pakistan from September- October 2018. Patients were asked to complete a self-administered structured questionnaire developed to assess the knowledge regarding dental treatments, and hygiene practices while fasting. The questionnaire consisted of 7 items regarding the influence of dental treatments such as filling, scaling, and extraction etc. on fasting. Questions were also added regarding maintenance of oral hygiene such as brushing and its effect on fast. Frequencies and percentages are used to display results. Chi-squared test was used for statistical analysis to estimate difference between gender, and educational status with perception of procedures breaking fast.

Results :
Out of 415 responses, 374 were included for analysis. About 76.2% respondents believed that undergoing extraction broke fast. Scaling was thought to nullify the fast by 45.5% of respondents. 52.9% perceived root canal treatment to break fast along with 67.6%, who believed anaesthesia administration broke fast. As far as oral hygiene was concerned, brushing was reported to break fast by 57.5% with the use of mouthwash invalidating fast by 63.4%.
Conclusion :
The respondents were generally aware of some procedures not breaking fast however, most thought that administration of anaesthesia, undergoing root canal treatment, and extraction invalidated fast. Also, hygiene maintenance measures such as brushing and use of mouthwash during was also thought to break fast. It is imperative that the healthcare providers should be familiar with the effect of dental treatments and oral hygiene measures on fasting state that can influence the treatment plan of the patients.

Published: January 2020

Background Enhancing angiogenesis is critical for accelerating wound healing. Application of different types of exosomes (Exos) to promote angiogenesis represents a novel strategy for enhanced wound repair. Saliva is known to accelerate wound healing, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Results Our results have demonstrated that saliva-derived exosomes (saliva-Exos) induce HUVEC proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis in vitro, and promote cutaneous wound healing in vivo. Further experiments documented that Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2O (UBE2O) is one of the main components of saliva-Exos, and activation of UBE2O has effects similar to those of saliva-Exos, both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, UBE2O decreases the level of SMAD6, thereby activating BMP2, which, in turn, induces angiogenesis. Conclusions The present work suggests that administration of saliva-Exos and UBE2O represents a promising strategy for enhancing wound healing through promotion of angiogenesis.

Authors: Xu Shan , Sak Ali , Erol Yasin Bahadir
Published: January 2020

Purpose: To assess the relative efficacy and safety of first-line systemic therapies in patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC).Experimental Design: A comprehensive literature review was conducted including MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials for phase II or III Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) published up to and including July 15, 2019.We included RCTs in which at least 1 intervention was either a chemotherapeutic agents (such as, fluorouracil, irinotecan, or oxaliplatin) or antibodies targeting angiogenesis (such as, bevacizumab) or agents that act on the epidermal growth factor receptor pathway (such as, cetuximab and panitumumab) or studies reported at least one of the following outcomes: Overall Survival (OS), Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and/or serious adverse events (SAEs). Using a random effect model, we performed a Bayesian network meta-analysis to analyze the probability of optimal therapeutic regime obtained from direct comparisons with indirect evidences. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for OS and PFS.Results: A total of 30 RCTs comprising (12, 146 patients with mCRC comparing 25 different strategies were included. The triple combination FOLFOXIRI [fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan] plus bevacizumab provided significant survival benefits with improved OS over all other treatments. The network meta-analysis also indicated a significant advantage of using FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab in comparison to other treatment strategies for PFS. Besides, FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab was associated with the lowest risk of serious adverse events.Conclusions: Our study supported the use of FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab as the best first-line regimen and potentially effective and safe strategy for the management of patients with mCRC.

Published: January 2020

Background: Treatment for rifampicin-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (RR-TB) is complex, however, shorter treatment, with newer antimicrobials are improving treatment outcomes. The South African National Department of Health (NDoH) recently accelerated the rollout of 9-month, all oral, RR-TB short-course regimens. We sought to evaluate an inter-professional training program using pre-test and post-test performance of Professional Nurses (PNs), Advanced Practice Professional Nurses (APPNs) and Medical Officers (MOs) to inform: a) training needs across cadres; b) knowledge performance, by cadres; and c) training differences in knowledge by nurse type. Methods: A 4-day didactic and case-based clinical decision support course for RR-TB regimens in South Africa (SA) was developed, reviewed and nationally accredited. Between February 2017 and July 2018, 12 training events were held. Clinicians who may initiate RR-TB treatment, specifically MOs and PN/APPNs with matched pre-post tests and demographic surveys were analyzed. Descriptive statistics are provided. Pre-post test evaluations included 25 evidence-based clinically related questions about RR-TB diagnosis, treatment, and care. Results: Participants (N=842) participated in testing, and matched evaluations were received for 800 (95.0%) training participants. Demographic data was available for 793 (99.13%) participants, of whom 762 (96.1%) were MOs, or nurses, either PN or APPNs. Average correct response pre-test and post-test scores were 61.7% (range 7-24 correct responses) and 85.9% (range 12-25), respectively. Overall, 95.8% (730/762) of participants demonstrated improved knowledge. PNs improved on average 25% (6.22 points) whereas MOs improved 10% (2.89 points) with better mean test scores on both pre- and post-test (p<0.000). APPNs performed the same as the MOs on post-test scores (p=NS). Conclusions: The inter-professional training program in short-course RR-TB treatment improved knowledge for participants. MOs had significantly greater pre-test scores. Of the nurses, APPNs outperformed other PNs, and performed equally to MOs on post-test scores, suggesting this advanced cadre of nurses might be the most appropriate to initiate and monitor treatment in close collaboration with MOs. All cadres of nurse reported the need for additional clinical training and mentoring prior to managing such patients.
Studies on Molecular Interactions between Bovine β-Lactoglobulin and Silver Nanoparticles
Authors: Sharma Anchal , Ghosh Kalyan Sundar
Published: January 2020

Background:

Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) were found to modulate the fibrillation of
Bovine Β-Lactoglobulin (BLG).

Objective:

To gain an insight regarding the mechanism of BLG aggregation modulation by AgNPs
at molecular level, studies on the interactions between BLG and AgNPs were carried out.

Methods:

Protein-ligand interactions were studied based on Trp fluorescence quenching (at four
different temperatures), synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence and circular dichroism
spectroscopy (far-UV and near-UV).

Results:

Protein-nanoparticles association constant was in the range of 106 -1010 M-1 and the
quenching constant was determined as ~107 M-1. Ground state complexation between the protein
and nanoparticles was predicted. Change in polarity surrounding the Trp residue was not detected
by synchronous and three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy. AgNPs caused a global change
in the secondary and tertiary structure of the protein as revealed from far-UV and near-UV CD
spectroscopy. Enthalpy driven complexation between the protein and nanoparticles indicates the
involvement of hydrogen bonding and/or van der Waals interactions.

Conclusion:

Modulation of BLG aggregation by AgNPs is due to strong binding of the
nanoparticles with BLG, which also causes structural perturbations of the protein.

Particle size distribution of Barium Hexaferrite sample has been performed with commonly used methods of mathematical models by Rosin-Rammler (RR model) distribution. By using sieving method from 20-400 mesh, the basis of network analysis distribution function F(d) and density function, f(d) were obtained. Particle size estimation was performed using sedimentation gravitation based on Stokes law to obtained Reynolds numbers and terminal velocity of flocs in medium value has been calculated. The results of Reynolds numbers shows that Barium hexaferrite flocs in ethanol medium in laminar flow, whereas terminal velocity increases as larger particle size and density, however, bulk density reduce due to contained highly porous in the sample which yields lower bulk density. The relationship of turbidity with the floc size has been evaluated. The results show that turbidity and bulk density increases as smaller particle size, meanwhile, terminal velocity reduced. Differences in turbidity for each sample (20-400 mesh) has been determined which shows two region instead, with first region from 150-850 µm yields larger differences compared to the second region: 37-105 µm.

Abstract

Anopheles is an eminent mosquito vector responsible for Plasmodium infection in human. By far, 430 anophelines have been identified but only 30-40 species have the potential to transmit malaria. A survey was carried to describe the distribution of anophelines species in seven community health centre (CHC) working areas including Caile, Ujung Loe, Bonto Bahari, Bonto Tiro, Batang, Bonto Bangun and Tanete in Bulukumba District, South Sulawesi. Human Landing Collection, Net Trap, and Light Trap was applied to collect adult anophelines mosquitoes. The Anopheles malaria vectors were observed in all areas. Various anophelines malaria vectors exist in Bulukumba District, including An. subpictus, An. barbirostris, An. hyrcanus, An. vagus, An. indefinitus, An. parangensis and An. kochi. Of which, Anopheles subpictus was the most abundant species and the majority of Anopheles mosquitoes were found in Ujung Loe area. Our study indicates that community-based programs and routine entomological surveillance, especially in high-risk areas, should be implemented to effectively control malaria transmission in Bulukumba District.

Published: January 2020

The drama script is a type of prose fiction literature that can not only be enjoyed through pen strokes from writers, but also aims to be performed on stage shows. In drama scripts, the topic or story that is displayed is inseparable from the life of society in general. Through the action of the cast of the cast, it is able to show that the story brought in the script seems to reflect the real life. This study aims to describe the form of reality of social life that occurs in the H.A.H drama by Putu Wijaya. This research is in the form of qualitative descriptive, with the method of analysis analysis through the sociological approach of literature. The source of the data in this study is citation text in the H.A.H drama script by Putu Wijaya, which reflects the reality of social life in the village community. Data collection techniques in this study are document techniques. While the data validity technique used in this study uses source triangulation. Triangulangi source is one of the validity test data that is suitable for use in this study. After analysis, the results of this study show that Putu Wijaya's H.A.H drama script reflects the social life of the community such as: moral degradation, cultural shifts, social conflict, crime. This is due to weak economic conditions, lack of understanding of religious teachings about faith, faith and piety, and lack of education.

Germany nowadays is known as one of the most robust economies in Europe. Yet, at the beginning of 20th Century Germany, poverty became a severe problem that caused a social and cultural impact on the children. Positive self-esteem and resiliency in children were needed to cope with the situation. The roman titled PÃ¼nktchen und Anton, written in 1931 by Erich KÃ¤stner, describes the childrenâ€™s life in Berlin dealt with the poverty problem.Â  This research aims to see how self-esteem and resiliency in children described as a life tool for the first figure (Anton) who classified as an adversity child in the novel. This question is answered by using descriptive qualitative method and self-esteem theory by Nathaniel Branden.Â  The result shows there is advocacy in describing a marginalized Anton to become a hero thank to his positive self-esteem (self-efficacy and self-respect). His positive self-esteem builts him to be resilient.

Published: January 2020

The aim of this research is to develop a decentralized communication system of multiple robots which have capability to communicate and coordinate with each other, by which all robots work individually while keeping connectivity among them. Decentralized communication between robots is the main part of this project. This type of communication shows great potential in many aspects. A decentralized system is the combination of both intelligent and decision making inspired from nature. To meet this object two identical robots are developed which successfully communicate with each other to complete an assigned task. A single task is given to both robots; to find specific object/target location. Once the target is found by any of the robot that robot will then communicate with second robot to guide the path of object/target location. Guiding path to the second robot is the challenging task as discussed in this paper. The Robots use Bluetooth devices to calculate and extract the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication)values for communication purpose.Both robots work together as a team. By working in communicated way their time is reduced to achieve the task and create synergy. Any task could be easily attained in team work than by the work of the single individual robot.

Published: January 2020

Autonomous navigation of the vehicles or robots is very challenging and useful task used by many scientists and researchers these days. By keeping this fact in mind, an algorithm for autonomous navigation of mobile robot in outdoor environment is proposed. This navigation track consists of colored border containing obstacles and some unplanned surfaces along with some specific points for GPS (Global Positioning System) alarms. The main goal is to avoid colored border and obstacles. For the vision problem webcam is used. First the colored border is detected by using OpenCV library by following HSI (Hue Saturation Intensity)technique. The Canny edge algorithm is used to find both edges of the border, then for detecting straight lines on both sides of track, Hough transformation is used. Finally, the closest border line is detected and its center point is calculated for which the mobile robot has to steer to avoid it. Second step is to avoid the obstacles, which is done by LRF (Laser Range Finder), first the range of LRF is defined, because not all obstacles have to be avoided, only those obstacles are detected and avoided which are in specified range as defined before, and finally GPS receiver is used to make alarms at some specific points. As a result, a successful navigation of the mobile robot in the outdoor environment is implemented.

Published: January 2020

The linguistic corpus of Sindhi language is significant for computational linguistics process, machine learning process, language features identification and analysis, semantic and sentiment analysis, information retrieval and so on. There is little computational linguistics work done on Sindhi text whereas, English, Arabic, Urdu and some other languages are fully resourced computationally. The grammar and morphemes of these languages are analyzed properly using dissimilar machine learning methods. The development and research work regarding computational linguistics are in progress on Sindhi language at this time. This study is planned to develop the Sindhi annotated corpus using universal POS (Part of Speech) tag set and Sindhi POS tag set for the purpose of language features and variation analysis. The features are extracted using TF-IDF (Term Frequency and Inverse Document Frequency) technique. The supervised machine learning model is developed to assess the annotated corpus to know the grammatical annotation of Sindhi language. The model is trained with 80% of annotated corpus and tested with 20% of test set. The cross-validation technique with 10-folds is utilized to evaluate and validate the model. The results of model show the better performance of model as well as confirm the proper annotation to Sindhi corpus. This study described a number of research gaps to work more on topic modeling, language variation, sentiment and semantic analysis of Sindhi language.

Published: January 2020

The intent of study is to establish a criterion for the experimental setup of rasterstereography, one that is more efficient, simple, accurate and precise to examine and analyse the curvature of the object or the subject. Firstly, the setup is needed to be calibrated and for this purpose we considered a reference plane, eleven cylinders of different diameter ranging from 30-119mm were used for calibration of curvature maps of cylinders and cylindrical objects through the regression line. Further this model was tested on subjects and for that we reckoned cylindrical body parts of boys and a total of 30 college students were involved as subjects in this process. The body parts to be measured had curvature like cylinders of different diameters ranging from 42-120mm. The distortion of raster grid was observed, quantified and recorded with the help of different tools and results were established. The regression line was obtained between the measured (x) and computed (y). The standard error of the cylindrical object was 0..04 and that of cylindrical body parts of subjects was 0.0407. This technique was validated through the coefficient of correlation for objects and subjects which was found to be 0.99982 and 0.999141 respectively. Accuracy and Precision were also calculated for this model, which were 99.60% accurate and 99.49% precise. Curvature maps were found more than 99%. This technique is inexpensive, reliable, reproducible and may be installed easily in hospitals to examine appraise body shape, composition and deformities of young men.

Published: January 2020

Modern Telecom Sector is eventually facing exceptionally tough challenges because of continuous and unexpected increase in power density requirement for the communicating machinery and equipment. To fulfil the power requirements for the equipment, a significant architecture and an optimal technique must be introduced. In this paper, a microcontroller-based optimization use of power-density has been carried out. Meeting above requirements, various equipment and electronic devices are employed. We have designed a microcontroller-based system via PROTEUS Virtual System Modeling to acquire efficient and effective results. The main focus of our work is to supply the power to Telecom equipment in meantime. The power is feeding on batteries and DG (Diesel Generator) set, depending on the condition of the power requirements. The changeover operations are performed by different relays, which are dully programmed via a microcontroller in Keil software. The power capacity of Telecom ((Telecommunication) equipment is ranged from 39-48 Volts DC. The rectification process is done by switch mode rectifiers instead of linear rectifiers. Because the switch-mode rectifier technology has brought fabulous improvements in power density as compared to linear rectifiers. This is done via simulation of the smart switch in PROTEUS software. The outcomes of the proposed system are costeffective in terms of fuel consumption of DG.

Authors: Hasan Bismah , Raza Kamran
Published: January 2020

Slotted circular printed layered patch antenna is designed, simulated and fabricated for 5G (Fifth Generation) wireless communication applications. The antenna consists of slots in the main radiating circular patch element for miniaturizing the size of the radiating element and providing dual band radiation characteristics. The feed line is separated on bottom substrate layer with EBG (Electromagnetic Band-Gap) embedded for enhancing the gain characteristics of the antenna. Superstrate layer is also used for improving the gain of the antenna where the distance from the radiating antenna element is optimized for maximizing the impedance bandwidth and radiation characteristics. The feed realization and impedance matching of the radiating slotted circular patch antenna is done by inducing slot at the middle ground plane of the slot embedded circular patch antenna system. The proposed configuration provides power radiation gain values of more than 5 dB for the Ka band of communications, whereas the impedance bandwidth of the antenna is verified for the dual resonances at 27.5 and 28.5 GHz. Dual band radiation characteristics are attained by embedding and optimizing the slot length and width in the circular patch radiator element that is placed on the upper face of the substrate RT Rogers Duroid 5880 layer. The length of the microstrip feed line embedded in the lower layer of the substrate is optimized for providing required bandwidth characteristics for the dual frequency point radiations. The antenna configuration is designed, modeled and simulated in CST (Central Standard Time) Microwave studio. The antenna is fabricated and measured vs simulated frequency response, gain patterns and current density plots are presented for the verification of antenna operation in the desired frequency bands.
