Seasonal Variation Analysis Method of GHG at Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator
Authors: Kang Seongmin , Roh Joonyoung , Jeon Eui-chan
Published: September 2020

The greenhouse gas emissions of the waste incineration sector account for approximately 43% of the total GHG emissions and represent the majority of the CO2 emissions from waste in Korea. Improving the reliability of the GHG inventory of the waste incineration sector is an important aspect for the examination of global GHG emission management according to the Paris Agreement. In this study, we introduced a statistical approach to analyze seasonal changes through analysis of waste composition and CO2 concentration in Municipal Solid Waste incinerators and applied the methodology to one case study facility. The analysis results in the case study showed that there was no seasonal variation in waste composition and CO2 concentrations, except for wood. Wood is classified as biomass, and the GHG emissions caused by biomass incineration are reported separately, indicating that the effect of an MSW incinerator on GHG emissions is not significant. Therefore, the seasonal effect of CO2 concentration or waste composition may not be an impact when calculating GHG emissions from case study facilities’ MSW incinerators. This study proposed an approach for analyzing factors that affect the GHG inventory reliability by analyzing seasonal characteristics and variation through the statistical analysis, which are used for the calculation of the GHG emissions of an MSW incinerator.

Urbanization has a significant impact on urban precipitation. Existing studies on precipitation pay more attention to the impact of natural and meteorological factors, and the research on the impact of urbanization on the spatial patterns of precipitation is still very deficient. Based on geographic detection, this study quantitatively analyzed the dominant, interaction, and sensitivity factors that affect precipitation changes in more than 150 urban units in Jing–Jin–Ji (Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei) during the process of urbanization. The research findings show the following: ① The dominant factors have seasonal differences in terms of the precipitation variation in Jing–Jin–Ji. The leading factors in summer were the change of radiation and relative humidity. The dominant factors in winter were the changes in radiation, relative humidity, and wind speed. On the annual scale, the dominant factors were the changes in relative humidity, aerosol optical depth, radiation, and wind speed. ② Whether in summer, in winter, or on the annual scale, urbanization can enhance the explanatory power of spatial variation of urban precipitation through interaction with natural/meteorological factors, and all the dominant interaction factors show a nonlinear enhancement trend. ③ The night light intensity and urban heat island can greatly amplify the explanatory power of other factors, thus becoming the most sensitive factor in urbanization precipitation changes. The above research can provide a theoretical basis for the formulation of urban climate policies and urban planning.
Issues, Impacts, and Mitigations of Carbon Dioxide Emissions in the Building Sector
Authors: Ahmed Ali Khozema , Ahmad Mardiana Idayu , Yusup Yusri
Published: September 2020

Climate change has become a considerable concern for humanity during this anthropocentric era. Scientists believe that the rate of global warming and climate change varies directly with the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide. Urbanization is happening at a higher rate in this era than in any other generation. It was reported that the building sector plays a critical role in the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Construction of buildings, operation, and utilization of the built environment has led to emissions of a large number of CO2 into the ambient air. Various issues and challenges arise from the building sector in reducing CO2 emissions. The exploitation of non-renewable energy resources, poor building design, and lack of sustainability consideration in urbanization has been holding back CO2 emission mitigation measures in the building sector. Therefore, CO2 emission mitigation plans and schemes are necessary alongside standardized frameworks and guidelines. The strategies to reduce CO2 in the building sector are enforcing standards and policy, conducting impact assessment, adopting low carbon technology, and restricting energy utilization. All stakeholders must play their roles efficiently to reduce CO2 emissions and aid in the fight against climate change.
The Effects of Fast Food Restaurant Attributes on Customer Satisfaction, Revisit Intention, and Recommendation Using DINESERV Scale
Authors: Chun Se-Hak , Nyam-Ochir Ariunzaya
Published: September 2020

The fast food restaurant business is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. International and local restaurant chains are trying to satisfy the demands of customers for a variety of products and services. Along with changing market trends, customers are now becoming more sophisticated and demanding. Customer satisfaction is an essential business issue, as entrepreneurs have realized that favorable customer feedback is key for a long-term sustainable operation. Customers who have an excellent experience at a restaurant may recommend the restaurant to others, spread positive information, or become a loyal customer. The fast food industry has only recently developed in Mongolia and an increasing number of global fast food chains are now entering the market every year. The purpose of this paper is to examine and evaluate the factors affecting customer satisfaction, revisit intention, and likelihood of recommendation for Mongolian fast food restaurants, as well as a global fast food restaurant in Mongolia using the DINESERV scale. This study focuses on comparing directly competing food chains; only two brands were studied because of the limited fast food presence in Ulaanbaatar. Then, it aims to analyze how satisfaction levels influence a customer’s revisit intention and likelihood of recommending a restaurant. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis of the difference between local and global fast food brands is a key element that this paper analyzes. Moreover, this paper investigates how results can be different according to whether the respondent resides in Mongolia or Korea and discusses business implications. The results of this paper show that four factors (food quality, service quality, price, and atmosphere of a restaurant) positively influence customer satisfaction, revisit intention, and likelihood of recommendation for Mongolian and global fast food restaurants, and customer satisfaction has a positive influence on customer revisit intention and likelihood of recommendation for both types of restaurants. However, depending on whether it is a Mongolian fast food restaurant or a global fast food restaurant, the factors affecting customer satisfaction, revisit intention, and recommendation are different.

Published: September 2020

With the rapid development of online shopping and traditional physical store shopping interweaving to form different shopping situations, customer experience has gradually become the main source of retailers’ sustainable competitive advantage through differentiation. Retailers need to continuously improve customer experience in different shopping situations to maintain long-term sustainable customer satisfaction and achieve sustainability. The study aims to examine what kind of shopping situations will influence customer experience and customer satisfaction. A total of 288 questionnaires were collected from two different shopping situations (146 questionnaires from physical stores were collected in five cities in China and 142 online questionnaires were collected from 21 provinces in China), and multiple regression analysis was adopted to test the hypotheses. As a result, we found that customer experience with staff service, shopping environment, and shopping procedure has a positive influence on customer satisfaction. Different shopping situations significantly moderate the relationships among customer experience with the shopping environment, product experience, and customer satisfaction but rarely influence customer experience with staff service and service procedures. Finally, gender significantly moderates the relationship between customer experience and customer satisfaction in different shopping situations. This study theoretically reveals the relationship between customer experience and satisfaction in different shopping situations and provides practical suggestions for retailers to form differentiated sustainable competitive advantage through customer experience management.

Published: September 2020

Bunyavirales are negative-sense segmented RNA viruses infecting arthropods, protozoans, plants, and animals. This study examines the phylogenetic relationships of plant viruses within this order, many of which are recently classified species. Comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of the viral RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), precursor glycoprotein (preGP), the nucleocapsid (N) proteins point toward common progenitor viruses. The RdRp of Fimoviridae and Tospoviridae show a close evolutional relationship while the preGP of Fimoviridae and Phenuiviridae show a closed relationship. The N proteins of Fimoviridae were closer to the Phasmaviridae, the Tospoviridae were close to some Phenuiviridae members and the Peribunyaviridae. The plant viral movement proteins of species within the Tospoviridae and Phenuiviridae were more closely related to each other than to members of the Fimoviridae. Interestingly, distal ends of 3′ and 5′ untranslated regions of species within the Fimoviridae shared similarity to arthropod and vertebrate infecting members of the Cruliviridae and Peribunyaviridae compared to other plant virus families. Co-phylogeny analysis of the plant infecting viruses indicates that duplication and host switching were more common than co-divergence with a host species.

Published: September 2020

The recent outbreak of a novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and its rapid spread across the continents has generated an urgent need for assays to detect the neutralising activity of human sera or human monoclonal antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and to evaluate the serological immunity in humans. Since the accessibility of live virus microneutralisation (MN) assays with SARS-CoV-2 is limited and requires enhanced bio-containment, the approach based on “pseudotyping” can be considered a useful complement to other serological assays. After fully characterising lentiviral pseudotypes bearing the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, we employed them in pseudotype-based neutralisation assays in order to profile the neutralising activity of human serum samples from an Italian sero-epidemiological study. The results obtained with pseudotype-based neutralisation assays mirrored those obtained when the same panel of sera was tested against the wild type virus, showing an evident convergence of the pseudotype-based neutralisation and MN results. The overall results lead to the conclusion that the pseudotype-based neutralisation assay is a valid alternative to using the wild-type strain, and although this system needs to be optimised and standardised, it can not only complement the classical serological methods, but also allows serological assessments to be made when other methods cannot be employed, especially in a human pandemic context.

Authors: Yarmots L. , Yarmots G. , Belenkaya A. , Smyshlyaeva M.
Published: September 2020

Numerous studies have shown that sapropel is an effective source of macro-and microelements, as well as biologically active substances. There are about 3 million lakes on the territory of Russia, where sapropel reserves are estimated at 250 billion tons. There are 497 lakes on the territory of the Tyumen region, the estimated reserves of sapropel in them are 1398,7 million tons. The Tyumen region is a biogeochemical province for all normalized trace elements. Biologically active compounds obtained from natural raw materials, including normalized trace elements in organic form are the most promising and safe. Under the inviroments of the Tyumen region, such natural raw materials can be sapropels. The study of the effectiveness of the use of sapropels and their influence on the metabolism and milk productivity of cattle is an urgent topic. The purpose of the research was to study the influence of sapropel lake Nepryak on milk productivity indicators and the biochemical composition of the blood of cows. For the experiment 3 groups of cows have been formed (a control group and two experimental ones) based on the principle of pairs of analogs. Cows of the 1st experimental group have been got in the ration of 300 g of sapropel per head/day, 2nd experimental – 500 g/head/day. Cows of the control group did not receive sapropel in the ration. It has been found as the result of research that the use of sapropel lake Nepryak in feeding of cows in doses of 300 and 500 g/head/day had the positive influence on their milk productivity. At the same time, it is most effective to feed sapropel at the dose of 300 g/ head/day.

Published: September 2020

The feed value of modern balancing concentrates intended for compound feed to early weaned piglets is based on a combination of energy and easily digestible protein: protein-soya concentrate, potato protein, high-quality fi sh meal and dairy feeds. A protein-vitamin-mineral concentrate containing vegetable protein intended for balancing compound feed for early weaned piglets has been described in the article. It provides for the use of a component from full-fat fl axseeds, which contains polyunsaturated linolenic acid. The composition of the concentrate included pulses and oilseeds, processed by special technology for the removal of anti-nutritional substances. Data on the infl uence of pre-starter compound feed containing the developed concentrate on the body and productivity of suckling pigs have been presented. The animals from the experimental group had more intensive metabolism. The total protein content in the blood serum was in the range of 65,53–65,73 g/l, and the ratio of albumins to globulins (coeffi cient A/G) was optimal – 1,55 and 1,67. The presence of the large amount of urea and glucose in the blood (3,05–3,72 and 6,60–5,80 mmol/l, respectively) indicated that crossbred piglets had intensive synthetic processes associated with the growth of muscle tissue and internal organs. The redox processes have been intensive, which was indicated by the high content of hemoglobin in the blood at the level of 119,7–120,6 g/l and red blood cells (4,32–4,42×1012/l). The ratio of calcium to phosphorus was optimal that indicating the balanced mineral metabolism. The average daily gains in live weight of experimental animals were almost identical at the level of 253–254 g. The results indicate that the new balancing concentrate and pre-starter compound feed containing it had the favorable eff ect on the metabolism in the body of suckling piglets.

Published: September 2020

One of the ways to increase meat resources is to improve the condition of livestock on farms in the Russian Federation. This is due to the fact that when the fatness of the animal increases, the meat yield in the carcass increases. The purpose of the researches was to establish the features of the infl uence of the feed protein additive Biovitel on the growth and development of steers of Hereford breed. In order to achieve this purpose two groups of steers-analogs of Hereford breed (control and experimental) at the age of 6 months per 10 head in each have been formed. The time of the experiment was: the preparatory period of 22 days and the main one 275 days. Steers of the control group have received the main farm ration, and steers of the experimental group have received the main ration and feed protein additive Biovitel for 30 days with 10-days interval at the dose of 100 g per head during the sixth month. The results of researches on the infl uence of the feed protein additive Biovitel on the growth and development of steers of Hereford breed have been refl ected in the article. The addition of the feed additive Biovitel to the main ration of the experimental group of steers helped them to achieve a higher live weight and higher average daily gains under the same environments of feeding and housing in all age periods. By the end of the experiment (15 months) the experimental group of steers have reached the live weight of 430,2 kg, which was higher by 19,9 kg or 4,9 % compared to the control group of steers. In order to improve the quality of beef and increase its production more intensive rearing of steers of Hereford breed with the use of feed protein additive Biovitel has been justifi ed. The recommended dose is 100 g per head. This dosage allows you to achieve the average daily gain of 967,5 g and the average live weight of 430,2 kg by 15 months of age, reduce the prime cost and increase the profi tability of beef production.
Extruded lupine as a part of energy-protein concentrate in the ration of lactating cows
Authors: Fedorova Z.
Published: September 2020

In order to fi ll the existing protein defi ciency in the rations of farm animals in particular dairy cows it is necessary to input feed lupins as widely as possible in crop rotations. Lupin is a very versatile forage crop it can be used in feed as herbage, in the form of haylage, silage, in compound feed as a protein additive, as well as a green manure crop to increase soil fertility. Questions of protein nutrition should be to be quickly resolved, both in the production of protein and in its standardized rational use. Unbalanced protein rations increase feed consumption per unit of production, thereby increasing its prime cost. In the world soya is generally recognized as a protein feed, but in the Kaliningrad region as in most of regions in our country, it does not maturate being a heat-loving crop. Under these environments the inclusion of extruded lupine grain in the composition of energy-protein concentrates for the production of compound feed has become an alternative to replacing expensive soya. The researches have been carried out it the cattle farm of LLC “Temp” in the Guryevsky area in the Kaliningrad region (March-May 2019) on feeding lactating cows energy-protein concentrate from extruded grain of narrow-leaved lupine, fl ax, triticale, subjected to heat treatment on a press extruder. For this purpose two groups of lactating cows of Black-and-White breed (control and experimental) have been formed using the method of pairs of analogs per 11 heads in each. Cows of the control group have received the main ration of the farm, and cows of the experimental group in addition to the main ration have received compound feed with extruded energy-protein concentrate based on lupine. As a result of research, the positive infl uence of energy-protein concentrate based on lupine in compound feed on the dairy productivity of cows has been established. Recipes of concentrate and compound feed with concentrate for lactating cows, the volume of inclusion of components in the concentrate and in the compound feed have been calculated. During the experiment, the milk yield in the experimental group of cows has increased by 62,4 kg or 8,0 %, than in the control group. From the cows of the experimental group the conditional profi t has been received in the amount of 1684,8 rubles per head.

Published: September 2020

The expediency of using the probiotic drug Biolax-U in the rations of lactating and dry cows of Black-and-White breed has been studied and scientifically proved. The influence of this drug on the morphological and biochemical parameters of animal blood has been determined. The composition of the probiotic drug Biolax-U consists of eight strains of a balanced complex of living lactic acid bacteria, yeast and actinomycetes, as well as biologically active substances. For experimental studies conducted on 2 groups of cows have been selected by the method of pairs-analogs, the influence of feeding of feed have been prepared with the use of the microbiological drug with probiotic action Biolax-U on feed consumption, morphological and biochemical changes in blood has been studied. Analysis of the rations of cows indicates that the content of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur and trace elements such as manganese, copper, zinc and cobalt in the feed has been reduced. It has been found by studies that the use of probiotic drug Biolax-U had the positive influence on the feed intake, digestibility and better assimilation of feed nutrients and contributed to the improvement of blood morphological and biochemical parameters. For example, in animals of the experimental group hemoglobin has increased by 3,6 % (Р < 0,05), red blood cells by 10,1 (P ≤ 0,05), the content of leukocytes by 4,43, carotene by 9,6, glucose by 3,4; reserve alkalinity by 15,6, calcium by 19,4 (P ≤ 0,01), and phosphorus by 18,4 % compared with the control group of animals. During the lactation significantly improved hematological parameters including alkalinity reserve by 5,11 %, calcium level by 11,1, phosphorus by 8,6, hemoglobin by 14,2 %, the content of erythrocytes by 12,3, leukocyte by 3,86, and carotene 11,1 % against the parameters of animals of control group. The improvement of morphological and biochemical parameters of blood of cows indicates about stimulating effect on hematopoiesis and the general clinical condition of animals that contributes to the improvement of metabolic processes when using feed prepared with the use of microbiological drug with probiotic action Biolax-U.

Published: September 2020

Complete feeding of ponies is provided on the basis of data on their nutritional needs depending on age, sex, physiological state and level of productivity (the amount of milk produced and the intensity of growth of young animals). Ponies are sensitive to a lack of vitamins and mineral elements in the feed. When there is a sufficient amount of organic and mineral substances, but a lack or absence of vitamins, horses and ponies have impaired metabolism. The purpose of this work is to study the effectiveness of the use of vitamin and mineral additive MEGA-VIT in the rations of pregnant and lactating mares of Shetland pony breed. It has been found during of the researches that the vitamin and mineral additive MEGA-VIT had a positive influence on the productive and physiological indicators of animals. The cost of spent feed for the entire period of experiment in the control group was 50,6 thousand rubles, and in the experimental group it was 11,8 thousand rubles more or 23,5 %. Revenue from the sale of young horses of the control group amounted to 400 thousand rubles, and experimental group – 440 thousand rubles, this is by 40 thousand rubles more than in control group. This led to the increase in profit in the experimental group of mares by 28,1 thousand rubles and accordingly the level of profitability by 3,2 %. It has been recommended on the results have been obtained on the base of researches to include 30 g/head/day in the rations of mares of Shetland pony breed during pregnancy, and 50 g/head/day during lactation.

Authors: Esedullaev S.
Published: September 2020

The results of long-term experiments on the productivity and feed value of Festulolium herbage mixtures with meadow clover and variegated alfalfa have been presented. It has been found that in mixed crops with the participation of Festulolium the productivity and quality of herbage mass were higher than in traditional crops. In mixed clover crops with Festulolium the yield of herbage mass was higher by 8,7–14,1 % and amounted to 41,3 and 43,5 t/ha, dry matter 6,89 and 7,60 t/ha, collection of feed units 6,13 and 6,94 thousand/ha, digestible protein 663 and 690 kg/ha, respectively, in the control and against the background of mineral nutrition. The supply of a feed unit with digestible protein reached 106–108 g, the sugar-protein ratio was 0,79–0,82, which corresponds to zootechnical standards or close to them. Herbage mixtures of alfalfa with Festulolium formed yields of herbage mass 42,9 t/ha, dry matter 9,29 t/ha, feed units 8,73 thousand/ha, digestible protein 1103 kg/ha in control and 47,9 t/ha, 9,89 t/ha, 8,73 thousand/ha, 1160 kg/ha, respectively, when applying mineral fertilizers, which was higher than traditional herbage mixtures by 9,2–14,0 %. When the ratio of sugar and protein was close to the optimal ratio (0,77–0,81), the supply of digestible protein to the feed unit significantly exceeded the norm (132–140 g). Joint crops of cereals and legumes are also important agrotechnical value. Due to the nitrogen-fixing symbiotic activity of legumes when they are grown together with cereals, nitrogen is transferred from legumes to cereals, which completely eliminates or significantly reduces the need for such crops in mineral fertilizers.

Unusual Phenomenon of Forced Heat Exchange Taking Place during Quenching Silver Probe in Cold Electrolyte
Authors: Kobasko Nikolai I.
Published: September 2020

It is shown in the paper that forced heat transfer exchange during quenching silver probes in cold electrolytes is explained by periodical replacement of short film boiling process by shock boiling. The frequency of such process is very high that increases cardinally heat transfer exchange. This phenomenon doesn’t fit contemporary theory concerning nucleate boiling processes and needs further careful investigations. The reason for existing periodical process is a double boundary electrical layer where are acting increased electrical forces during quenching in electrolytes. In contrast of quenching steel, silver generates higher heat flux density during quenching; however full film boiling cannot be developed due to presence of high electrical forces in a double electrical layer caused by increased electrical conductivity of silver. The discovered phenomenon can be used in the practice in the future after its careful investigation to force heat transfer exchange by external electrical forces to eliminate any film boiling process during batch quenching.

Published: September 2020

El estudio de la función exponencial, como objeto matemático de enseñanza, es de suma importancia para la comprensión de actividades humanas vinculadas a diversos campos, tales como economía, biología, física, medicina o demografía. Entre ellas se puede destacar el estudio del crecimiento y decrecimiento exponencial, tema que se enriquece con su construcción gráfica o geométrica en un plano ortogonal, además permite manejar variables físicas tales como el tiempo respecto a otras como la población, o la radiactividad. Esta investigación pretende describir el proceso de enseñanza de la función exponencial mediante un acercamiento cualitativo. La metodología utilizada fue cualitativa y se enmarcó en un estudio de caso. El informante fue un docente de matemática; se realizó una descripción del proceso de enseñanza de este tema en una unidad educativa ecuatoriana. Los resultados muestran que el docente usa una terminología matemática adecuada, su actuación es de tipo expositivo magistral, establece un tipo de conexión interdisciplinar muy sucinto y tiene estructurado un plan de trabajo del cual no se desvía. Entre las conclusiones se destacan que la forma tradicional conductista de realizar la praxis pedagógica aún se puede apreciar en Ecuador, caracterizada por el trabajo mecánico y repetitivo al enseñar conocimientos específicos de la materia.

El grupo teatral “Amigos del Arte”, perteneciente a la Biblioteca Popular Juventud Moderna de la ciudad de Mar del Plata, tuvo presencia entre los años 1939-1947, ligándose su actividad cultural al accionar político y sindical anarquista presente en esa institución. El análisis de su repertorio teatral será el objeto de este artículo, considerando en la recopilación de obras, textos y autores la presencia de componentes referidos a una “cultura anarquista” o bien de una “cultura de masas”. Para ello consideraremos posiciones más tradicionales sobre teatro anarquista, ancladas en experiencias pertenecientes a las últimas décadas del siglo XIX y las primeras del XX. En su desarrollo partiremos de un enfoque que relacione las obras utilizadas con las particularidades del contexto socio-histórico en el que el grupo filodramático tuvo presencia y donde realizaba sus funciones teatrales.

Image resizing merupakan suatu proses pengelolahan citra yang bertujuan mengubah ukuran gambar ke ukuran yang diinginkan oleh pengguna. Metode yang paling sering digunakan untuk mengubah ukuran gambar pada pembuatan thumbnail adalah scaling dan cropping. Scaling  merupakan pengubahan ukuran citra berdasarkan skala tanpa mempertimbangkan proporsi panjang dan lebarnya. dan juga tidak mempertimbangkan isi dari citra. Cropping terbatas karena hanya menghilangkan pixel pada citra dalam batasan area tertentu saja. Akibatnya, dalam thumbnail yang dihasilkan tidak dapat menyampaikan informasi yang penting pada gambar. Seam carving merupakan salah satu metode untuk mengubah ukuran gambar dengan menghapus atau menambahkan ukiran (carve) piksel-piksel dari bagian-bagian gambar yang berbeda sesuai konten (content-aware). Seam carving menawarkan kelebihan dibanding scaling dan cropping.. Namun, metode seam carving masih gagal untuk melindungi objek penting pada gambar. Untuk itu dalam mengatasi kelemahan tersebut, dalam penelitian ini akan dilakukan implementasi Seam carving dan metode salient detection yang digunakan untuk pembuatan thumbnail. Hasil salient detection mendeteksi daerah terpenting dari gambar dan sebagai acuan dalam mengubah ukuran gambar (seam carving).

Stroke is the main trigger that can cause disability in adults. Stroke patients are known to be vulnerable to oral health problems, such as periodontal disease, due to limitations in their daily activities so that dental and oral hygiene management is neglected. These dental and oral health problems can become worse when patients are treated in a stroke unit. For this reason, dental and oral health care needs to be taken in stroke patients. The study aimed to develop a model of dental and oral health care among stroke patients. Research and Development (R&D), on five research stages, namely: information gathering, product/model design, expert validation and revision, product/model trials (using quasi-experiments with pretest and posttest with control group design). The sample was divided into two groups, the dental and oral health care model in stroke patients in the intervention group and the oral health care model No.284 year 2006 in the control group. Data were tested using normality, paired t-test, post hoc LSD, Mann Whitney, and linear regression. The model of dental and oral health care in stroke patients was relevant as dental and oral health care was shown to be p <0.001. The application of dental and oral health care models in stroke patients effectively improves the skills of gargling in moderate stroke patients p <0.001, increasing the ability to brush teeth in moderate stroke patients p <0.001.  The application of dental and oral health care models in stroke patients is useful as an increase in the skills to rinse and brush teeth in moderate stroke patients

Transmission lines are the backbone of electrical power systems and other power utilities as they are used for transmission and distribution of power. Power is distributed to the end-user through either overhead cables or underground cables. In the case of underground cables, their propensity to fail in service increases as they age with time. The increase in failure rates and system crashes on older underground power cables now negatively affect system reliability and involve numerous losses. It is therefore easy to realize that the consequences of this trend need to be managed [3]. Identification of the type of defects and their locations along the length of the cables is vital to minimize the operating costs by reducing lengthy and expensive patrols to locate the faults, and to speed up repairs and restoration of power in the lines. In this study, a method that combines wavelets and neuro-fuzzy techniques for fault location and identification are proposed. For this methodology a power transmission line model was developed and different fault locations were simulated in MATLAB/SIMULINK, and, as an input to the training and development of the Adaptive Network Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), certain selected features of the wavelet transformed signals were used. Fault index obtained from wavelet transformation are used as input variable for fuzzy input block function. Different membership functions were observed within input block function. As per formulation of rules, for membership function, the output value of the defuzzifier component was decoded to give a crisp value of ANFIS output. ANFIS results were compared with actual values. A comparison of the ANFIS output values and the actual values show that the percentage error was less than 1%. Thus, it can be concluded that the wavelet-ANFIS technique is accurate enough to be used in identifying and locating underground power line faults. Which will help in solving this time taking and tedious problem more efficiently and thereby reducing human effort in finding the type of fault and its location.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a real time signal which can be used to analyze the functioning of the cardiac muscles. These electrical signals help us in identifying the heart related issues. It gives lot of clinical information about heart. Corona virus disease (COVID-19) is a disease caused by Corona virus and it spreads through saliva droplets or nose discharge. A person with COVID-19 might suffer from heart related issues. To lower the risk of cardiovascular injury, monitoring of ECG is vital for a person identified with COVID-19. By analyzing QTc and ST prolongations, we can identify the complications in heart like Myocardial Infraction (MI), Cardiac Arrest, Myocarditis, Acute cardiac injury and Arrhythmia with COVID-19. And also change in QTc value is observed in a person before and after chloroquine treatement. This systematic review reveals that identifying ECG patterns which is related to COVID-19 is vital.

Buildings that rest on sloping ground are different from those that rest on level ground. Buildings located on sloping ground are much more prone to earthquakes because they are, in general, irregular, asymmetrical and tensional. Therefore, the movement of the ground affects them much more. Therefore, there is increased insertion of the shear wall to resist side loading. In this work, the multi-storey building G + 20 is analyzed on slopes of 0o and 24o. For the improvement and analysis of full-filled shear walls, GMT, type L and type C soft soil is used. The structure is analyzed by the response spectrum method and responses such as displacement, ground deviation, period and base slices are evaluated and compared using E-TAB software.
