Authors: Kumar Ashok , Sharma Palvi , Mahajan Anupama , Begum Zarina
Published: January 2019

Ethanolic extracts of Garlic (Bulb), Aloe (leaf), Flower bud (buds), Turmeric (rhizomes) and Ginger (rhizomes) were used for relative analysis of antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Antioxidant activity was determined by DPPH [1, 1-Diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl] assay and expressed with Ascorbic acid. It was observed that turmeric and ginger have more antioxidant activity than garlic, Aloe and Flower bud. These extracts were further studied for antibacterial activity by agar well diffusion and spectrophotometric method against tetracycline as reference. The result showed that Flower bud is more effective against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeuroginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus compared to other plants extract. However, all the plants extract did show antioxidant and antibacterial activity.

Published: January 2019

Actinomycetes are considered as the most invaluable prokaryotes whose genome mining show a great number of putative secondary metabolite biosynthesis pathways as well as gene clusters ranging from 20 to 50 per genome. The genus Streptomyces has been explored for its ability to produce 60% antibiotics worldwide. Alnus nepalensis (Alder) has been found to harbor diverse Eubacteria in its rhizosphere. To evaluate the antibiotic production potential from Actinomycetes, we collected soil samples from rhizosphere (5-7 cm deep) of Alder tree. Primary screening was done by cross-streak method against Multidrug Resistant (MDR) such as Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus auereus (MRSA), Vancomycin resistant Enterococcus feacalis (VRE), Imepenem resistant Acinetobacterbaumannii, Vancomycin resistant Klebsiella pneumonia and Imepenem resistant E. coli as well as Non-MDRs (E. coli, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, S. aeureu and Enterococcus feacalis). Extraction of antibiotics was done using rota-vapour from extract obtained by solid-substrate fermentation technique followed by solvent extraction. Secondary screening was done using well diffusion assay against MDRs. Among total of 40 isolates of Actinomycetes recovered, 14 showed remarkable zone of inhibition (ZOI) to various MDRs. NASA 303 showed 26 mm of ZOI against VRE, NASA 101 had ZOI of 34 mm against MRSA, NASA 319 had 33.7 mm ZOI against Imepenem resistant E. coli, NASA 306 had 36 mm of ZOI against Vancomycin resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, and NASA 108 showed ZOI of 29.6 mm against Imepenem resistant E. faecalis. This investigation revealed that the Actinomycetes found in Rhizosphere of Alder tree had MDR killing potent antibiotics, which needs to be further explored.
Logic, Paralogisms and Social Distinction
Authors: Lallement Michel
Published: January 2019

In La Barrière et le Niveau (1925), the French philosopher
Edmond Goblot applied a logic of quality to the social world. The major
thesis which Goblot defended at that time was: having no titles or property,
the bourgeois class constructed itself superficially through value
judgements, building upon commonly shared appreciations, however
intrinsically contradictory they may be. If we accept this logical reading
found in La Barrière et le Niveau, then two different types of paralogism,
useful for sociological theory, merit consideration: paralogisms
of criteria and paralogisms of judgement. When interpreted in this way,
Goblot’s work presents a threefold theoretical interest: it associates logic
and sociology in an original way; it illustrates the heuristic relevance of
a social ontology approach, and it provides a grid of sociocultural analysis
of the social classes which is still relevant today.

Forest in global climate change policy: state of today and perspectives

Forests play an essential role in both strategies of global climate policy: mitigation and adaptation. Forest is the only CO2 reservoir that can be directly influenced by humans: if new forest area is created or the productivity of forest is promoted, it stores additional CO2 and thus becomes a sink. In contrast, when forest is degraded or transformed, significant amounts of CO2 are released into the atmosphere, and the forest becomes a carbon source. So adaptation measures in the forest always contribute to the mitigation strategy, and mitigation measures – properly planned and executed – contribute to the adaptation strategy. The article describes the evolution of international climate policy since its inception and the role of forests and trees in this political process. The article focuses on current instruments of international climate policy for the promotion of forest programmes in industrialised and developing countries (REDD+). It concludes that forests are so significant in terms of their metabolism, carbon content and extent that it is almost impossible to correct the trend of increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere without fully considering forests and their sustainable management.

Authors: Szendrő Zsolt , Papp Zoltán , Kustos Károly
Published: January 2019

Thirty-six lactating New Zealand White rabbit does were divided into 6 groups according to ambient temperature and feed intake. The does were kept at 20 °C during pregnancy and at kindling, then they were put into climatic chambers at temperatures of 5, 15, 23 or 30 °C. One part of the does were fed ad libitum (5A, 15A, 23A and 30A), two other groups were housed at 15 °C, but they received the same amount of pellet as the does' intake at 23 °C or 30 °C (15/23R and 15/30R). The litter sizes were equalized to seven. The weight of does, milk production, feed intake and water intake were recorded daily. Heat stress reduced milk yield (148, 152, 150 and 106 g/day), feed intake (287, 279, 260 and 179 g/day) and water intake (497, 512, 526 and 428 g/day), but increased the water/feed ratio (1.73, 1.84, 2.02 and 2.39) in the groups of 5A, 15A, 23A and 30A, respectively. Body weight of does decreased at 23 °C and 30 °C by 5.6% and 8.5%, respectively, compared to 15 °C. Comparing the groups of rabbits kept at 23 °C and 30 °C fed ad libitum (23A and 30A) and the data obtained for groups of 15/23R and 15/30R it was observed that the milk yield decreased by 8.0% and 2.5%, water intake increased by 8.6 and 13.3%, and the feed/water ratio was higher by 0.18 and 0.18, respectively. The effect of heat stress was less significant on kits than on does. It can be concluded that the high ambient temperature mainly affected the milk production through the reduction of feed intake.

Published: January 2019

The paper presents the Kriging technique based on Matlab environment applied to interpolate the value of all points in the interpolation range from porosity values obtained from 13 wells of lower Miocene reservoir, ST Xam oil field. The MATLAB function meshgrids are used to create the interpolated cell (cell-Kriging) instead of point discrete interpolation. After selecting the Variogram model with nugget values and the correlation threshold (in scope), the next step is Kriging porosity values which regression permeability values. Finally, displays the values in the cells and interpolated coordinates X, Y, respectively. With input data the first mission is to analyze this set, select the necessary parameters and removal of useless data, and assess the scope of application of each type of data. Then combine the document with wellogging interpretation results to determine reservoirs and the layered in which filter out the corresponding data averaging and conducting. Based on the selected average value of the corresponding products in each well for each subclass, calculate the results of an empirical Variogram model as the basis for Kriging weighted matrix. The last work is to calculate error and evaluate the reliability of the Kriging results. The error of porosity model are minor and distributed apropriately with kriging range. However the results are numerous correlation. The permeability experiment results are collected just from 03 points, therefore the ultimate solution is recurred porosity from porosity Kriging results.

Emotions of quality: a case study on beer products
Authors: Nguyen Cuong Quoc , Le Tam Minh , Nguyen Thanh Ba , Nguyen Dzung Hoang
Published: January 2019

Quality assurance is very important for food products manufacturers to survive in the extremely competitive markets. Quality, in a simple context in which solely the intrinsic product attributes are focused on, is widely considered as consumer liking [1].

Very often, to better understand product position for the purpose of consumer satisfaction, consumer liking has been related to sensory attributes in traditional sensory and consumer research. Nevertheless, apart from sensory attributes, the current trends of research have focused on emotions, which have come to play a major role in consumer liking.

Our initial goal was to look for relevant emotions to explain consumer liking on beer products. Precisely, this study aimed to address the two following questions: (1) whether or not emotions could be connected with respect to specific products via sensory attributes, if that is the case, (2) whether products, evoking either positive or negative emotions, would be more or less appreciated by consumers. Two experiments were performed on 8 commercial beer products. In the first experiment, an emotional profile was created by check-all-that-apply questionnaire. The emotional data was then related to consumer liking data collected from the second experiment in order to obtain the preference mapping.

The results showed that the products evoking positive emotions (e.g., optimism, eager, curiosity, etc.) were highly appreciated by consumers, while the products evoking negative emotions (e.g., loneliness, lost, laziness, rage, etc.) received low appreciation.

These results suggested that product quality (i.e., liking in this context) can be better understood through the prism of emotions, the so-called emotions of quality, which were evoked via sensory attributes. It could help researchers and marketing professionals better understand emotions evoked from their products in the one part, and elucidate to approach firm products to ideal products in the other part.

DISCRETE ATOMIC COMPRESSION OF DIGITAL IMAGES
Authors: Brysina Iryna Victorivna , Makarichev Victor Olexandrovych
Published: January 2019

The subject matter of this paper is the discrete atomic compression (DAC) of digital images, which is a lossy compression process based on the discrete atomic transform (DAT). The goal is to investigate the efficiency of the DAC algorithm. We solve the following tasks: to develop a general compression scheme using discrete atomic transform and to compare the results of DAC and JPEG algorithms. In this article, we use the methods of digital image processing, atomic function theory, and approximation theory. To compare the efficiency of DAC with the JPEG compression algorithm we use the sets of the classic test images and the classic aerial images. We analyze compression ratio (CR) and loss of quality, using uniform (U), root mean square (RMS) and peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) metrics. DAC is an algorithm with flexible parameters. In this paper, we use “Optimal” and “Allowable” modes of this algorithm and compare them with the corresponding modes of JPEG. We obtain the following results: 1) DAC is much better than JPEG by the U-criterion of quality loss; 2) there are no significant differences between DAC and JPEG by RMS and PSNR criterions; 3) the compression ratio of DAC is much higher than the compression ratio of JPEG. In other words, the DAC algorithm saves more memory than the JPEG compression algorithm with not worse quality results. These results are due to the fundamental properties of atomic functions such as good approximation properties, the high order of smoothness and existence of locally supported basis in the spaces of atomic functions. Since generalized Fup-functions have the same convenient properties, it is clear that such compression results can be achieved by application of a generalized discrete atomic transform, which is based on these functions. We also discuss the obtained results in the terms of approximation theory and function theory. Conclusions: 1) it is possible to achieve better results with DAC than with JPEG; 2) application of DAC to image compression is more preferable than JPEG in the case when it is planned to use recognition algorithms; 3) further development and investigation of the DAC algorithm are promising

The efficient model and learning algorithm of the small object detection system for compact aerial vehicle under conditions of restricted computing resources and the limited volume of the labeled learning set are developed. The four-stage learning algorithm of the object detector is proposed. At the first stage, selecting the type of deep convolutional neural network and the number of low-level layers that is pretrained on the ImageNet dataset for reusing takes place. The second stage involves unsupervised learning of high-level convolutional sparse coding layers using the modification of growing neural gas to automatically determine the required number of neurons and provide optimal distributions of the neurons over the data. Its application makes it possible to utilize the unlabeled learning datasets for the adaptation of the high-level feature description to the domain application area. At the third stage, the output feature map is formed by concatenation of feature maps from the different level of the deep convolutional neural network. At that, there is a reduction of output feature map using principal component analysis and followed by the building of decision rules. In order to perform the classification analysis of output, feature map is proposed to use information-extreme classifier learning on principles of boosting. Besides that, the orthogonal incremental extreme learning machine is used to build the regression model for the predict bounding box of the detected small object. The last stage involves fine-tuning of high-level layers of deep network using simulated annealing metaheuristic algorithm in order to approximate the global optimum of the complex criterion of learning efficiency of detection model. As a result of the use of proposed approach has been achieved 96% correctly detection of objects on the images of the open test dataset which indicates the suitability of the model and learning algorithm for practical use. In this case, the size of the learning dataset that has been used to construct the model was 500 unlabeled and 200 labeled learning samples

Published: January 2019

This study was undertaken to find out the presence of contaminating microorganisms in commonly available Syzygium aromaticum samples collected from different areas of Bangladesh and also to evaluate the antibacterial traits of these Syzygium aromaticum samples against food born pathogens. Total viable bacterial count (TVBC) was determined on nutrient agar and for the isolation of specific microorganisms different selective media were used. Crude, ethanol, methanol, hot water and cold water extracts of the samples were prepared for analysing their antibacterial activity using the agar well diffusion method. Furthermore, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the crude extracts was determined. TVBC was found between 104 to 106 cfu/g. None of these samples showed the presence of fungus. Staphylococcus spp. was present almost in all the samples between 104 to 106 cfu/g while Bacillus spp. was noticed only in one sample. In vitro antibacterial activity of the crude, methanolic and ethanolic extracts of the samples was found to be effective mostly against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Listeria spp., Pseudomonas spp. and Bacillus spp. On the contrary, hot water extracts of only two samples showed antibacterial property against Pseudomonas spp., Listeria spp. and Klebsiella spp. MIC was confirmed by using 96 well plate methods and the minimum inhibitory concentration was between 11.75 to 94 mg/ml.

Published: January 2019

Aquatic plants are generally considered as breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other harmful vectors of diseases. However, in recent years, some research has been carried out to test their significance as sources of antimicrobial lead molecules. The aim of this research was to study the phytochemical composition of local aquatic plant species and test their antimicrobial effect against selected bacterial strains. Three different aquatic plant samples were collected from a large water body near Dhaka. Ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts of the plant species: Eichhornia crassipes, Pistia stratiotes, and Spirodela polyrrhiza were tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi, and Lactobacillus spp. Out of the eight different extracts, only the ethyl acetate extracts prepared from Eichhornia crassipes showed significant anti-microbial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhi. In disk diffusion tests, zone of inhibitions of ethyl acetate extracts of Eichhornia crassipes leaves and stems were 8.00 ± 0.5 mm and 7.83 ± .29 mm respectively. In well diffusion tests, zone of inhibitions of ethyl acetate extracts of Eichhornia crassipes leaves and stems were 18.00 mm and 20.00 mm respectively. Zones of inhibition of ethyl acetate extracts of Eichhornia crassipes stems against Staphylococcus aureus were 7.67 ± 0.29 mm and 12.00 mm respectively in disk and well diffusion tests. Zone of inhibition of ethyl acetate extracts of Spirodela polyrrhiza was 8.17 ± 0.29 mm against Staphylococcus aureus in disk diffusion tests. No extracts showed any antimicrobial potential against Lactobacillus. Phytochemical composition analysis showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, phenolics, tannins, glycosides, and cardiac glycosides in the different ethanol and ethyl acetate extracts. Tannins were absent in all extracts and saponins were absent in all ethyl acetate extracts.

Isolation of Bacteriophage from Eggs and Use of Excreta as Biocontrol Agent in Controlling Eggs Related Salmonellosis
Authors: Khan Md Abu Sayem , Ashik Md Muktadir Rahman , Rahman Sabita Rezwana
Published: January 2019

Poultry and poultry products are the leading causes of foodborne salmonellosis worldwide. Antibiotics are used to control Salmonella spp. in poultry but its uncontrolled use results in the emergence of resistant pathogens.The use of bacteriophages as antimicrobial agents to control antibiotic resistant pathogenic bacteria could be a possible alternative. The aim of this study was to isolate, characterize and evaluate the effectiveness of bacteriophages for reducingload of Salmonella spp. on eggshells. One bacteriophage named as Sal-PE, specific to Salmonella enteritidiswas isolated from poultry excreta. For isolation, samples were subject to an enrichment protocol and then double agar layer method was performed to detect plaque. It had the capability to survive in wide range of pH between 4 to 10and found to be resistant at 60°C for 1 hour. Sal” PE showed its lytic effect on 13 of the 15 (87%) isolates including Salmonella enteritidis and Salmonella typhimurium which were recovered from 50 poultry excreta samples. After enrichment and growth on selective media, isolates were identified based on cultural characteristics, microscopic observation and biochemical tests. Amplification of three different genes (invA, sdfI, fliC) were carried out tocharacterize those isolates in molecular level. All isolates were found to be resistant to penicillin G, ampicillin, oxacillin and clindamycin but sensitive to ciprofloxacin, streptomycin, cefixime and chloramphenicol. Lytic efficiency of Sal-PE was determined by observing the reduction in optical density due to destruction of pathogens. Though more studies are needed in order to evaluate phage effectiveness, our findingsare expected to help us in initiating the development of a better preventive approach to control the occurrence of Salmonella spp. on eggshells.

Authors: Lubna Mahbuba Akter , Debnath Mita , Hossaini Farzana
Published: January 2019

Current study investigated the occurrence of aflatoxin contamination in poultry feed and feed materials in different poultry farms and feed factories in Bangladesh. A total of 100 samples of finished feed and raw feed materials were collected and tested through direct competitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for total aflatoxin detection. Overall, 97% samples (n=97/100) in our study, were found positive for aflatoxin contamination. Among finished feed categories, layer grower feed contained highest level of aflatoxin with a mean value of 21.64 ppb whereas layer feed was less susceptible for aflatoxin contamination (mean value 9.49 ppb). Between raw feed materials, maize samples were highly contaminated (n=15/15, 100%) with aflatoxin while 86.67% soybean samples showed positive result. Twenty one percent (21%) of the samples in our study contained aflatoxin concentration more than the acceptable limit employed by USFDA and many other countries which might pose severe health risk to poultry and human consumer. Proper surveillance and immediate control measures should be taken to ensure safe poultry feed and feed materials.

PENERAPAN METODE ENSEMBLE UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KINERJA ALGORITME KLASIFIKASI PADA IMBALANCED DATASET
Authors: Pristyanto Yoga
Published: January 2019

Pada bidang data mining sering kali para peneliti tidak memperhatikan keseimbangan distribusi kelas pada dataset. Hal ini dapat menimbulkan kesulitan yang cukup serius pada algoritme klasifikasi. karena secara teori mayoritas classifier mengasumsikan distribusi yang relatif seimbang, sehingga menyebabkan kinerja suatu algoritme klasifikasi menjadi kurang maksimal. Oleh karena itu, pada penelitian ini diterapkan metode ensemble dengan penambahan adaptive boosting untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut. Dari hasil pengujian yang dilakukan pada penelitian ini, metode ensemble dengan penambahan adaptive boosting dapat meningkatkan nilai kinerja algoritme klasifikasi. Nilai kinerja algoritme Naive Bayes dengan Adaptive Boosting akurasi yang dihasilkan sebesar 91.98%, sensitifitas sebesar 91.98%, spesifisitas sebesar 96.49%, dan g-mean sebesar 94.21%. Nilai kinerja algoritme Support Vector Machine dengan Adaptive Boosting akurasi yang dihasilkan sebesar 91.52%, sensitifitas sebesar 91.52%, spesifisitas sebesar 96.29%, dan g-mean sebesar 93.88%. Sedangkan Nilai kinerja algoritme Decision Tree dengan Adaptive Boosting akurasi yang dihasilkan sebesar 94.37%, sensitifitas sebesar 94.37%, spesifisitas sebesar 97.73%, dan g-mean sebesar 96.03%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa metode ensemble dengan Adaptive Boosting dapat menjadi solusi untuk meningkatkan kinerja algoritme pada imbalanced dataset.Kata Kunci: adaptive boosting, data mining, ensemble, ketidakseimbangan kelas, klasifikasi.
Konsep Dasar Muamalah & Etika Jual Beli (al-Ba'i) Perspektif Islam
Authors: Jamaluddin Jamaluddin
Published: January 2019

Jual beli (البيع) adalah salah satu materi fiqh muamalah yang ada kaitanya dengan pertukaran harta benda  (mu’awadhah). Materi ini merupakan bahasan terpanjang yang dikaji oleh para ulama, dibanding dengan materi fiqh muamalah lainya, bahkan bahasanya juga selalu ditempatkan di awal. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa jual beli merupakan bahasan yang harus mendapatkan perhatian yang serius dari umat Islam, karena sejak dahulu hingga sekarang manusia selalu mempratekannya.

Dalam muamalah tidak hanya membahas apa yang telah menjadi ketetapan dalam arti muamalah yang secara luas atau dengan kata lain yang berhubungan dengan hal-hal yang bersifat timbal balik. Tetapi dalam perkembangan yang ada terjadi suatu hal yang harus diketahui juga yang berhubungan dengan muamalah, yaitu tentang al-ba’i atau sering kita menyebutnya jual beli.

Karena dalam hal ini al-ba’i (jual beli) adalah salah satu aspek terpenting yang dapat menunjang berlangsungnya kegiatan muamalah. Jual beli adalah sebuah kajian yang sangat penting karena jual beli  adalah sebagai landasan dalam berinteraksi dengan masyarakat. Menukar suatu barang dengan barang yang lain dengan cara tertentu (akad) disebut sebagai jual beli,  maka dari sebuah hal yang mendasari bagian ini, tulisan ini akan membahas beberapa hal mengenai pengertian jual beli dan landasan hukumnya.

Dalam sistem muamalah jual beli terdapat prinsip dasar keharaman yang oleh para ulama dikembalikan kepada tiga kaidah, yaitu 1) kaidah gharar (ketidakjelasan), 2) kaidah ghasysyi (tipu daya), 3) kaidah riba (kelebihan). Diantara ketiga kaidah  tersebut kaidah gharar (ketidakjelasan) merupakan prinsip yang utama, karena dengan memahami konsep gharar (ketidakjelasan) semua permasalahan yang timbul dalam muamalah jual beli dapat terpecahkan. Namun demikian kenyataan di lapangan masih menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat belum banyak memahami pentingnya muamalah jual beli secara baik dan benar menurut Islam dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.

Published: January 2019

Background: Liver cancer remains to grow worldwide. We aimed to describe the period prevalence (PP) and incidence rates (Irs) for liver cancer in Isfahan Province that is located in the center of Iran and ranked as the third province in terms of population.Methods: Information related to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results; (SEER) was collected from the Isfahan Cancer Registry. Period prevalence (PP) was calculated per 100,000 people. The cancer sites studied were defined according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-O; Third Edition) and recorded by topography code (C22).Result: Among all registered liver cancer patients, 57% of the 920 cases were male. The mean age of the patients was 65.9 ± 16.8 years. Reported age in 13% of the patients was less than 50 years and as high as 84% were in between 50 to 90 years. With a total PP of 18.5 per 100,000 people, this value was 24.4% higher in males when compared to females (16.8 vs. 20.9). In the previous years, incidences were 3.9 (2011-2012), 5.3 (2012-2013), 4.9 (2013-2014) and 4.2 (2014-2015) per 100,000 people. There were 89% reported deaths among the total population.Conclusion: The PP for liver cancer in male population was approximately 24.4% higher than females. There was a 7.7% increase in the Irs over the study period. Further study toward estimation of the proportion of the causes of liver cancer and deaths due to infection of hepatitis B and C virus, exposure to aflatoxin, alcohol drinking and smoking seem to be advantageous. Therefore, the plan of healthcare system should focus on greater effort toward strategic evidence-based pharmacotherapy in Isfahan province/Iran.

Authors: Soedarso Mohamad Adi , Wahyuni YinYin , Tjahjati Maria Immaculata
Published: January 2019

Background: Urine cytology (UC) is a classic marker used to detect bladder malignancy through urine examination microscopically at the presence of malignant transitional cells that are released. UC  is also used to evaluate recurrence after past treatment. A new method that is simpler, faster and easier is by measuring protein in urine produced by malignant cells, namely nuclear matrix protein-22 (NMP-22). The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of NMP-22 and UC to histopathological biopsy in diagnosing bladder carcinoma and to evaluate whether the NMP-22 test could be used for bladder carcinoma screening and recurrence monitoring.Methods: Diagnostic tests on 24 suspected bladder malignancies were performed by taking urine samples for NMP22 examination and UC. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative NMP-22 and UC on histopathological biopsy were analyzed.Results: Positive results were obtained in 21 (87.5%) and negative in 3 (12.5%) NMP22 examinations. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of NMP-22 on histopathological biopsy were 95%; 67%, 95%, 67%. Sensitivity, specificity,positive predictive value and negative UC on histopathological biopsy were 38.1%; 100%, 100%, 18.8%.Conclusions: NMP-22 sensitivity is higher than UC in diagnosing bladder carcinoma. NMP-22 can be used for bladder carcinoma screening and for recurrence monitoring
