Authors: Mukaram Muhammad Zillullah , Ahmad Tahir , Alias Norma , Shukor Noorsufia Abd , Mustapha Faridah
Published: November 2021

Fuzzy topological topographic mapping (FTTM) is a mathematical model which consists of a set of homeomorphic topological spaces designed to solve the neuro magnetic inverse problem. A sequence of FTTM, FTTMn, is an extension of FTTM that is arranged in a symmetrical form. The special characteristic of FTTM, namely the homeomorphisms between its components, allows the generation of new FTTM. The generated FTTMs can be represented as pseudo graphs. A graph of pseudo degree zero is a special type of graph where each of the FTTM components differs from the one adjacent to it. Previous researchers have investigated and conjectured the number of generated FTTM pseudo degree zero with respect to n number of components and k number of versions. In this paper, the conjecture is proven analytically for the first time using a newly developed grid-based method. Some definitions and properties of the novel grid-based method are introduced and developed along the way. The developed definitions and properties of the method are then assembled to prove the conjecture. The grid-based technique is simple yet offers some visualization features of the conjecture.
The Synchronization Behaviors of Coupled Fractional-Order Neuronal Networks under Electromagnetic Radiation
Authors: Yang Xin , Zhang Guangjun , Li Xueren , Wang Dong
Published: November 2021

Previous studies on the synchronization behaviors of neuronal networks were constructed by integer-order neuronal models. In contrast, this paper proposes that the above topics of symmetrical neuronal networks are constructed by fractional-order Hindmarsh–Rose (HR) models under electromagnetic radiation. They are then investigated numerically. From the research results, several novel phenomena and conclusions can be drawn. First, for the two symmetrical coupled neuronal models, the synchronization degree is influenced by the fractional-order q and the feedback gain parameter k1. In addition, the fractional-order or the parameter k1 can induce the synchronization transitions of bursting synchronization, perfect synchronization and phase synchronization. For perfect synchronization, the synchronization transitions of chaotic synchronization and periodic synchronization induced by q or parameter k1 are also observed. In particular, when the fractional-order is small, such as 0.6, the synchronization transitions are more complex. Then, for a symmetrical ring neuronal network under electromagnetic radiation, with the change in the memory-conductance parameter β of the electromagnetic radiation, k1 and q, compared with the fractional-order HR model’s ring neuronal network without electromagnetic radiation, the synchronization behaviors are more complex. According to the simulation results, the influence of k1 and q can be summarized into three cases: β>0.02, −0.06<β<0.02 and β<−0.06. The influence rules and some interesting phenomena are investigated.

Published: November 2021

The theory of fractional analysis has been a focal point of fascination for scientists in mathematical science, given its essential definitions, properties, and applications in handling real-life problems. In the last few decades, many mathematicians have shown their considerable interest in the theory of fractional calculus and convexity due to their wide range of applications in almost all branches of applied sciences, especially in numerical analysis, physics, and engineering. The objective of this article is to establish Hermite-Hadamard type integral inequalities by employing the k-Riemann-Liouville fractional operator and its refinements, whose absolute values are twice-differentiable h-convex functions. Moreover, we also present some special cases of our presented results for different types of convexities. Moreover, we also study how q-digamma functions can be applied to address the newly investigated results. Mathematical integral inequalities of this class and the arrangements associated have applications in diverse domains in which symmetry presents a salient role.
Detection of Road Images Containing a Counterlight Using Multilevel Analysis
Authors: Kim JongBae
Published: November 2021

In this paper, a method for detecting real-time images that include counterlight produced by the sun, is proposed. It involves applying a multistep analysis of the size, location, and distribution of bright areas in the image. In general, images containing counterlight have a symmetrically high brightness value at a specific location spread over an extremely large region. In addition, the distribution and change in brightness in that specific region have a symmetrically large difference compared with other regions. Through a multistep analysis of these symmetrical features, it is determined whether counterlight is included in the image. The proposed method presents a processing time of approximately 0.7 s and a detection accuracy of 88%, suggesting that the approach can be applied to a safe driving support system for autonomous vehicles.
Separate Fractional (p,q)-Integrodifference Equations via Nonlocal Fractional (p,q)-Integral Boundary Conditions
Authors: Dumrongpokaphan Thongchai , Ntouyas Sotiris K. , Sitthiwirattham Thanin
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we study a boundary value problem involving (p,q)-integrodifference equations, supplemented with nonlocal fractional (p,q)-integral boundary conditions with respect to asymmetric operators. First, we convert the given nonlinear problem into a fixed-point problem, by considering a linear variant of the problem at hand. Once the fixed-point operator is available, existence and uniqueness results are established using the classical Banach’s and Schaefer’s fixed-point theorems. The application of the main results is demonstrated by presenting numerical examples. Moreover, we study some properties of (p,q)-integral that are used in our study.

Published: November 2021

The human endogenous retrovirus-K (HERV-K) and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) have been associated with the pathophysiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Given these findings, we investigated the humoral response against HERV-K envelope surface (env-su) glycoprotein antigens and TDP-43 in the plasma of ALS patients and healthy controls (HCs). The measured levels of Abs against the different epitopes’ fragments were significantly elevated in ALS patients, both in long-survivor (LS) and newly diagnosed (ND) patients, compared to HCs. We observed a positive correlation between HERV-K and TDP-43 antibodies (Abs) levels, which seemed to strengthen with disease progression, that was not found in HCs. The TDP-43 and HERV-K epitopes identified in this study are highly immunogenic and recognized by the humoral response of ALS patients. Increased circulating levels of Abs directed against specific HERV-K- and TDP-43-derived epitopes could serve as possible biomarkers.
Impact of Island Urbanization on Freshwater Lenses: A Case Study on a Small Coral Island
Authors: Ling Zihan , Shu Longcang , Sun Ying , Wang Ran , Li Yuxi
Published: November 2021

Freshwater resources on small coral islands mainly exist in the form of freshwater lenses. The freshwater lens is highly vulnerable to salinization due to natural recharge variations and urbanization construction. However, it is unclear how a freshwater lens evolves under the influence of urbanization construction and which factors control its evolution. Based on the hydrogeological data of a small coral island in China, a corresponding 3D numerical model was established by the Visual MODFLOW software to investigate the formation and evolution of freshwater lenses under natural conditions. Thereby, the island reclamation scenario and impermeable surface scenario were set up and the changes in morphology and volume of the freshwater lens were analyzed. The results show the following: (1) After island reclamation and island building, the freshwater lens would reach a stable state after 25 years and the freshwater lens would also appear in the newly added part of the island with a thickness of 9.5 m, while the volume of the total freshwater lens would increase to 1.22 times that of the original island. (2) When the impermeable surface is built at different positions of the island, the reduction in the volume of the freshwater lens, in the order from large to small, is Scenario B (northeast side), Scenario A (southwest side) and Scenario C (central); with the increase in the impermeable surface area, the volume of the freshwater lens would gradually decrease and the volume of the freshwater lens would decrease by more than 50% with the impermeable surface exceeding 30% of the island area. The study has important implications for the conservation and rational development of subsurface freshwater resources on islands.

Published: November 2021

A substantiated scientific and technological approach to the design of bituminous binders compositions by compounding unoxidized petroleum feedstocks is one of the key drivers in the development and production of technologically and energy-efficient bituminous binders and asphalt concrete with improved properties for a reliable road surface based on them. A targeted approach to the group composition of bituminous dispersions will help to resolve the issue of developing effective, time-stable and reproducible bituminous compositions. Therefore, the purpose of study is to develop compositions of compounded unoxidized bitumen (BKn) grade 50/70 and to evaluate the effectiveness relative to the trademark BND 50/70. In the work, the following products are considered as components of oil refining for subsequent compounding into BKn 50/70 bitumen: tar, fuel oil, deasphalting asphalt. A comprehensive analysis of results demonstrates the possibility of obtaining a technical result from the use of compounding techniques for unoxidized petroleum feedstock, which consists in the formation of a "sol-gel" dispersed binder structure. It is shown that the designed composition of the bituminous binder is characterized by a stable and resistant structure to thermal destruction. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the developed compositions of BCN is carried out by calculating generalized performance criteria for each composition.
“By Jupiter, forgot”: Volscians and Scots in Shakespeare and Arbella Stuart
Authors: Hopkins Lisa
Published: November 2021

This essay examines the representation of Volscians in two texts, Shakespeare’s Coriolanus and a letter of Lady Arbella Stuart’s referring to Virgil’s Camilla. It argues that for both authors, it matters that the relationship between the Volscians and the Romans could trope that between the Scots and the English. In the month in which Queen Elizabeth died, Arbella Stuart reached for a Volscian as a way to connect herself to Scotland; five years later, in the wake of James’s failed attempt to achieve political and constitutional union between England and Scotland, Coriolanus uses the Volscians to question that project.

Published: November 2021

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Physical activity (PA) is a known preventative factor. It is recommended that children participate in 60 minutes of PA daily, but most do not meet these guidelines. Further, boys, aged 8-17 years, spend more time in PA than girls of the same age. The purposes of this study were to identify gender differences in PA beliefs and practices among fourth and fifth graders and to determine when gender disparities in self-confidence regarding PA and fitness occur.  Subjects were 41 fourth (19 boys; 22 girls) and 33 fifth (16 boys; 17 girls) graders in a public elementary school in the rural northwest. They participated in the FitnessGram, a nationwide assessment of flexibility, aerobic capacity, and muscular strength and endurance, and a proctored survey about their PA beliefs, self-confidence, and participation. There were no differences in FitnessGram data between boys and girls for aerobic capacity or muscular strength and endurance, but girls had increased flexibility when compared to boys in both grades. Importantly, survey results showed fifth grade girls had less confidence they could improve their physical fitness (p = 0.002) or their overall health (p = 0.004) when compared to fourth grade girls. Research is needed to determine how these changes in self-confidence contribute to the gender gap in time spent in PA. We recommend physical education programs throughout all grades teach healthy behaviors, including time spent in PA, and work to build and maintain self-confidence in girls.
Empathic Projections: Visual Anthropology Design and Acknowledgement
Authors: Golec Micheal J.
Published: November 2021

Averting or embracing our capacity for acknowledgement results from what we are willing to take-in what there is to see. In this sense, the photo essay in general confronts us with the limits of our capacities. This essay attempts to examine how it is that the photo essay and its design contend with imagination and acknowledgment. Considering recent editorial initiatives and a redesign of Visual Anthropology Review, and, in greater depth, Feldman and Pérez’s photo essay “Living at the LUX: Homelessness and improvisational waiting under COVID-19,” this essay asks: How does the photo essay—and relatedly, the photograph—in its looks face the possibility of a resistance to acknowledge the reality it depicts?

SOME FEATURES OF MAWDUDI'S TAFHIM AL-QUR'AN
Authors: Mir Mustansir
Published: November 2021

Abul-A'la Mawdudi (1903-79) was a leading Muslim scholar of the twentiethcentury. He has written extensively on a variety of Islamic subjects.He wrote in Urdu, but his works, quite a few of which have been translatedinto other language, have exercised deep influence on educated classes,especially the youth, in many parts of the Muslim world. Though essentiallya scholar of the traditional mold, Mawdudi, unlike many other Muslimscholars, is alive to the problems of modernity as they confront the Islamicworld. It is this combination of the traditional and modern strains, and hisskillful exposition of Islam, that makes him one of the most widely read Muslimauthors of today.*Tafhim al-Quran ~ a six volume commentary on the Qur’an, is Mawdudi‘smagnum opus. It is not only a treasury of information, it is also a distillateof Mawdudi‘s thought. In writing Tafhim, as he says in the Preface to the book,Mawdudi has in mind the needs of those educated laymen who wish to understandthe message of the Qur’an but lack access to the original Arabic sourceson the subject; the word tafhim, which means ”to make someone understand,”aptly describes the nature of the book. The following pages analyzesome of the features of the work.A Modern CommentaryEven a cursory reading of Tafhim im would show that the work is a “modern”one. Most Urdu Qur’an commentaries present a ”traditional” look in that theylack methodical arrangement of material. Tafhim seems to satisfy many ofthe formal requirements one expects a book of this kind to meet. A typicalpage of Tafhim is divided into three portions: one for the Qur’anic text; onefor the translation; and one for notes. It is thus possible to read the translationuninterruptedly - a convenience appreciated by those familiar with theirksome pattern of interlinear Urdu translations of the Qur’an. The translationis presented in logical paragraphs. Occasionally, extended quotations areset off from the main text, even given in smaller print. Each volume has adetailed analytical index of subjects treated in the notes. There are 32 mapsof historic routes and important geographical locations, and 12 black-and-whitephotographs, most of them of buildings of Thamudan style of architecture.There are copious cross-references.Again, most of the Urdu Qur’an commentaries employ a highly Arabicizedand Persianized idiom that proves to be prohibitive to most common readers.Tafhim  is written in a style that an average reader not only finds comprehensible,but also delightful. Tafhim has been called the first best-selling Urdu ...

The French West Indies are made up of the islands of Martinique, Saint-Barthélemy, the northern part of the island of Saint-Martin and the Guadeloupe Archipelago. Through the vocabulary of the Native Americans who lived in this region, it is possible to bring out their finesse of analysis to describe different intensity gradients concerning natural hazards. The research has identified that all natural hazards are mentioned except the volcanic eruptions that were very frequent. From the discussion of the concepts of cultural resilience and culture of resilience, we conclude that this society certainly had a perception of volcanoes with a different time scale than ours, adapted to the impact of hazards and their real threats for their way of life.

Published: November 2021

Рассматривается полуволновый диполь с установленным рефлектором, который позволяет производить сканирование пространства с использованием вращения рефлектора вокруг диполя. Для полученной конструкции производилось моделирование основных параметров, которые показали высокую стабильность при различных положениях рефлектора, постоянное значение коэффициента направленного действия, ширины главного лепестка. Изменение направления излучения совпадает с текущим положением рефлектора. По сравнению с ситуацией, когда у антенны отсутствовал рефлектор, КНД антенны увеличился, так как произошла фокусировка электромагнитных волн. Коэффициент полезного действия и передне-заднее отношение сохраняют высокие значения во всем диапазоне рабочих частот. Применение предложенной конструкции позволяет упростить конструкцию сканирующих антенн, так как для ее реализации требуются лишь полуволновой диполь и плоский рефлектор, установленный на малом расстоянии от источника излучения. В процессе управления характеристиками требуется вращать рефлектор вокруг диполя, при этом диполь остается неподвижным, что позволяет повысить эффективность предложенной конструкции, так как не требуется формировать сложных антенных систем или устанавливать комбинацию из нескольких антенн для фокусировки излучения в одном направлении от источника

The article discusses a half-wave dipole with an installed reflector, which allows scanning space using the rotation of the reflector around the dipole. For the resulting structure, we simulated the main parameters, which showed high stability at various positions of the reflector, a constant value of the directivity factor, and the width of the main lobe. The change in the direction of radiation coincides with the current position of the reflector. Compared to the situation when the antenna did not have a reflector, the directivity of the antenna increased since the focusing of electromagnetic waves took place. The efficiency and the front-to-back ratio remain high throughout the entire operating frequency range. The use of the proposed design makes it possible to simplify the design of scanning antennas since the implementation of the proposed design requires only a half-wave dipole and a flat reflector installed at a short distance from the radiation source. In the process of controlling the characteristics, it is required to rotate the reflector around the dipole, while the dipole remains stationary, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the proposed design, since it is not required to form complex antenna systems or install a combination of several antennas to focus radiation in one direction from the source

Statement of the problem. The aim of the work is to simulate the resonant vibrations of the continuous beam span of the bridge in the direction perpendicular to the wind flow by the finite element method. The article deals with a non-standard situation that arose on May 20, 2010 on the bridge over the Volga River in the city of Volgograd.Results. As a result, an effective algorithm for calculating the aerodynamic stability of large-span bridge structures was developed using one of the most widespread software systems in Russia and neighboring countries - "Lira-SAPR". Recommendations for the selection and modeling of dampers are given. Conclusions. The developed algorithm makes it possible to numerically describe the disturbing force of periodic breakdown of wind flow vortices, which causes resonant oscillations of bridge spans, to apply this force to the design model in Lira-SAPR, and to obtain parameters that make it possible to assess the stress-strain state of the system during oscillations and to select the optimal characteristics of the damping devices.

Aim: PSMA expression has been observed in increased levels in patients with high Gleason scores. Current information on Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT shows that primary staging with PET/CT is important in patients with high-risk PC. Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT may also have a place in patients with intermediate risk PC, but only a few data are available at present. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the relationship between PSMA expression value in the prostate gland, total PSA levels and GS in patients diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Material and Method: A total of 98 patients who were pathologically diagnosed with prostate cancer that did not receive any treatment and underwent Ga‐68 PSMA PET/CT imaging for staging were included in the study. Findings detected in Ga‐68 PSMA PET/CT imaging were categorized as prostate, lymph node, bone, and visceral organ. The focal increased PSMA expression values ​​observed in the prostate gland were recorded as SUVmax. The patients were divided into two separate groups according to their GS score (GS>7 and GS≤7). Correlations between prostate PSMA SUVmax, GS score and total PSA scores were investigated.

Results: PSMA SUVmax levels of the group with a Gleason score of >7 were found to be significantly higher than the group with a Gleason score of ≤7 (p=0.03). The rates of lymph node metastasis, bone metastasis and visceral organ metastases were found to be significantly higher in the group with a Gleason score >7 compared to the group with a Gleason score ≤7. A positive correlation was observed between PSMA SUVmax and Total PSA (r=0.260, p=0.01). A positive correlation was observed between PSMA SUVmax and Gleason score (r=0.260, p=0.01). A positive correlation was observed between total PSA and Gleason score (r=0.320, p=0.001).

Conclusion: In conclusion, PSMA SUVmax and Total PSA levels were higher in the group with high Gleason score. There is a positive correlation between PSMA SUVmax and total PSA. Clinicians should be careful in this regard, as the possibility of metastasis will be high in groups with high Gleason scores.

Today, the innovative activities of companies in new service development (NSD) have an undeniable contribution to the economic development of countries. Given the recent advances in the healthcare industry, the issue of NSD and performance management of firms operating in this industry has received special attention of researchers and decision makers. A review of previous research shows that on the one hand there is no agreement among experts on NSD performance measurement criteria and on the other hand there has been no systematic framework that can measure and manage firm performance in this area. The proposed framework should allow for interaction between different decision makers, considering multiple and sometimes conflicting criteria. In this regard, this paper aimed to provide a framework to assess the NSD performance in healthcare industry using multiple-criteria-decision-making methods. The proposed model consists of 17 different criteria that have been identified and finalized based on previous studies as well as experts’ opinions. Then, the indicators are classified with the help of experts in the form of a balanced scorecard model and presented as an initial model. Due to internal relationships between criteria, this model was evaluated using interpretive structural modelling and modelled at 5 different levels. Then, the analytic network process approach was applied to determine criteria weights. Finally, new service development performance in Moheb hospital was evaluated through the framework proposed here.

The multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) has always been a concern in the research field. In this article, we establish the interval neutrosophic TODIM method based on cumulative prospect theory (CPT-IN-TODIM) for MAGDM issue. This new developed CPTIN-TODIM method has markedly superiority in describing decision maker’s psychological states, which utilizes the weight function to adjust weighting attributes distinguishing from the classical TODIM method. Then, this new developed method has been applied to select the third-party logistics service providers and been expound on the disparity with existing methods. Finally, the results of contrastive analysis indicate that this new developed method can lead to the appropriate conclusion and sticks out the differences between alternatives to provide clearer direction. Hence, the new developed CPT-IN-TODIM method is reliable and valid.

INTRODUCTION: The coastal area of Makassar city is a vulnerable area to various pollutants, most of which are generated by anthropogenic activities, such as home industry products, gold shop waste products, and household waste, starting from the coastal area in Barombong to the coastal villages in the Ujung Tanah subdistrict, with the highest level of mercury (Hg) concentration in the coastal area. Another source of potential Hg pollution in this area can be due to community activities at the fish landing base (PPI, Paotere).
AIMS: The aims of this research were to analyze the Hg content in surface water collected from coastal areas of Makassar City and to analyze the target hazard risk effect due to the excessive exposure of water from the recognized as ecologically contaminated area.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This research applied an observational analytic design of cross-sectional studies. Direct measurement and laboratory sample analyses were conducted as well as a questionnaire was applied to obtain relevant, precise, and accurate data. Respondents’ characteristics related to education, habit, lifestyle, occupational smoking habits, and dietary were requested by the administered household interview questionnaire. Assay of the laboratory to analyze the magnitude of Hg in surface water was conducted. Respondents with volunteered based selected using stratified random sampling methods.
RESULTS: Results of the analysis of Hg distribution in surface water used kriging interpolation method showed that the highest concentration of Hg was in stations (22 and 23) around Area of Anjungan Losari Beach and Area of Anjungan Mandar Losari with 1.0013 and 1.0012 mg/l, respectively. While the lowest were in station 2 with 0.0011 and in station 26 Pelindo Jetti area with 0.0013 mg/l, respectively. Ecological Risk assessment indicated that the areas with the highest risk of ecology were such as Near Dermaga Kayu Bangkoa with 9.8, the Tourism area of Karaeng Batjo Tomb 9.7, and Tanjung Bayang beach with risk ecology 9.1 units, respectively. Furthermore, the magnitude of Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) values were 0.0093 in station 1 in Tourism area of Karaeng Batjo Tomb and 0.0089 units in station 24 of Port of Sukarno Hatta, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: To conclude, Hg levels of contamination in water are still be tolerated in the current; however, its accumulate that potentially harmful in the near future. Ecological risk value was more than one that indicates at risks, although the THQ values are still below than the one that indicates safe.

BACKGROUND: At present, the β-catenin gene is a genetic change considered as the most important factor in the initiation and the progress of cancer. Bivalve extract contains steroid compounds that are thought to have an aphrodisiac and anti-inflammatory effect. The triterpenoid component detected in the crude bivalves extract is thought to have antitumor activity.

AIM: This study aimed at knowing the effect of ethanol (EtOH) extract, ethyl acetate fraction, and the n-hexane fraction of pokea clam on β-catenin gene mutation in mice induced by azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method.

METHODS: The testing of the effect of pokea clam extract was conducted on several treatment groups, namely, AOM/DSSinfected mice treated with EtOH extract, ethyl acetate fraction, and N-hexane fraction. The positive control and the negative control of the three treatment groups were done by giving the extract with a dosage of 0.25 mg/bb to mice for 14 days.

RESULTS: Based on the result of β-catenin gene amplification using the PCR method and RFLP analysis, the EtOH extract and ethyl acetate fraction groups had the same band, namely, 56 bp and 12 bp, consecutively; meanwhile, the n-hexane fraction was marked by the band formation of 191 bp, 82 bp and 48 bp, 69 bp, 116 bp, 151 bp, 180 bp, and 234 bp. From the types of band and the band size that have been formed, it shows that they have the same formation and similarities in the positive and negative treatment characterized by the amplification that occurred in the band size of 227 bp, and the result of amplification from RFLP analysis showed the same band with the same band size, namely, 89 and 138 bp.

CONCLUSION: Based on this, it can be concluded that N-hexane fraction affects β-catenin gene mutation at the first or second base at codon position 32 or 33, and the third base, namely, the bands of 82 and 145 bp that also characterize the effect of N-hexane on β-catenin gene mutation at the second or third base. It is supported by the sequencing method obtaining the homological percentage of 99.13%.
