Authors: Sharawat Indar Kumar , Panda Prateek Kumar , Ramachandran Aparna , Bhadoria Ajeet Singh
Published: December 2022

Objectives:

This study aims to compare the cost-effectiveness of oral prednisolone and adrenocorticotropic hormone injection in West syndrome patients, the two most common hormonal therapies used for this condition.

Materials and Methods:

In this prospective and observational study, we documented sociodemographic, epilepsy, and development-related variables at baseline and up to 6 months after starting hormonal therapy, in all consecutive eligible patients of WS between August 2019 and June 2021, apart from the direct medical and non-medical costs and indirect health-care costs. We selected cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained, per one patient with spasm freedom, one positive responder (>50% reduction in spasms), one relapse-free patient, and one patient with development gain. We determined whether incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for these parameters crossed the threshold value in base-case analysis and alternate scenario analysis.

Results:

Out of 52 patients screened, 38 and 13 patients enrolled in ACTH and prednisolone group. On D28, 76% and 71% achieved spasm cessation (P = 0.78) and the total cost of treatment was INR 19783 and 8956 (P = 0.01), in ACTH and prednisolone group respectively. For all pre-specified parameters, the cost/effectiveness ratios including cost/QALY gain were higher in ACTH group and the corresponding ICER values for all these parameters crossed the threshold cost value of INR 148,777 in base-case analysis and also in alternative scenario analysis.

Conclusion:

Treatment with oral prednisolone is more cost-effective as compared to ACTH injection for children with WS.
Chronic pulsatile tinnitus and continuous vertigo due to very delayed diagnosis of single slow-flow dural arteriovenous
Authors: Wigansari Galuh Puspa Ayu , Sani Achmad Firdaus , Kurniawan Dedy , Qimindra Fajar Rudy
Published: December 2022

Tinnitus and vertigo are classic symptoms of inner ear disease. Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) are a rare type of acquired intracranial vascular malformation whose symptoms mimic inner ear disease, but what distinguishes it from other tinnitus is the characteristic of DAVF is pulsatile and heartbeat-synchronous. We present a 58-year-old male with chronic left-sided pulsatile tinnitus (PT) for 30 years and continuous vertigo for 3 years that took numerous consultations to establish a diagnosis after the onset of symptoms. Delay in diagnosis is caused by normal magnetic resonance imaging and an unrecognized subtle mass in the left temporal region by time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA) at the screening test. As we know, TOF-MRA could not provide a clear picture to establish a slow-flow DAVF. Cerebral angiography, a gold standard diagnostic, revealed a Borden/ Cognard Type I single slow-flow DAVF in the left temporal region. The patient was treated with superselective transarterial embolization. After 1 week of follow-up, the symptoms of vertigo and PT were completely resolved.

Published: December 2022

We report the synthesis of conjugated polymer nanoparticles carrying stable luminescent radical units. These monodisperse conjugated radical nanoparticles can be tuned in their diameter over several hundred nanometers. They are stable in aqueous medium and highly luminescent in the red and near infrared spectrum, representing a powerful future tool for bioimaging. Moreover, the polymer nanoparticles exhibit paramagnetic properties, making them highly suitable for dual-mode optical and magnetic resonance imaging. In this study, we investigate their synthesis, optical and magnetic properties, and use quantum mechanical calculations to elucidate the effect of the conjugated polymer backbone and electron-withdrawing substituents on the electronic properties of the open-shell molecule in the polymer network of the particles.
Large Decrease in Melting Point of Benzoquinones via High-n Eutectic Mixing Predicted by a Regular Solution Model
Authors: Baclig Antonio , Ganapathi Devi , Ng Victoria , Penn Emily , Saathoff Jonathan , Chueh William
Published: December 2022

Decreasing the melting point (Tm) of a mixture is of interest in cryopreservatives, molten salts, and battery electrolytes. One general strategy to decrease Tm, exemplified by deep eutectic solvents, is to mix components with favorable (negative) enthalpic interactions. We demonstrate a complementary strategy to decrease Tm by mixing many components with neutral or slightly positive enthalpic interactions, using the number of components (n) to increase the entropy of mixing and decrease Tm. In theory, under certain conditions this approach could achieve an arbitrarily low Tm. Furthermore, if the components are small redox-active molecules, such as the benzoquinones studied here, this approach could lead to high energy density flow batteries. Finding the eutectic composition of a high-n mixture, however, is challenging due to the large compositional space. We demonstrate with differential scanning calorimetry measurements that 1,4-benzoquinone derivatives exhibit eutectic mixing that decreases their Tm, despite slightly positive enthalpies of mixing (0-5 kJ/mol). We show how the enthalpies of mixing can be used in a regular solution model (assuming immiscible solids and only binary interactions) to predict the eutectic composition and temperature. By investigating all 21 binary mixtures of a set of seven 1,4-benzoquinone derivatives with alkyl substituents (Tm’s between 44-120 °C), we demonstrate that the eutectic melting point of a mixture of all seven achieves a large decrease in Tm to -6 °C, and that the regular solution model shows improvement over an ideal solution model in predicting the eutectic properties.

Authors: Yuliansyah Herman , Sulistyawati Sulistyawati , Mulasari Surahma Asti
Published: December 2022

The Indonesian government has implemented programs to reduce stunting by targeting several groups, including: pregnant and maternity mothers, toddlers, school-age children, adolescents, and young adults. The actions include interventions and efforts to increase knowledge among the related subject – mostly among women. These efforts must still have been carried out until recently. However, along with the development of the digital era, stunting prevention needs to involve technology as an innovation to predict the possibility of a toddler becoming stunted in the future when their intake is insufficient.

Published: December 2022

Numerous thoughts that were previously deemed inconceivable have become a reality as a result of decades of technical progress and improvement. While flying automobiles are still in the far future, artificial intelligence that can predict your next move is rapidly approaching. Human motion prediction is a relatively new area of active research that is interesting for it’s potential of improving robot’s and other machinery’s ability to work with human, such as passing objects to human, and avoiding crash into human, etc. This thesis focuses on predicting human boxing moves based on RGB visual input as an artificially intelligent boxing trainer with the help of recurrent neural networks (RNNs). I study and compares the performance of six distinct neural network architectures. I have method 1, which includes four model architectures taking 3D joint data as input, and method 2, which includes two architectures that take RGB image as input. Based on the results of all my research, I have discovered the most effective and efficient architecture for scenarios with sparse data based on the outcome of my study.
Women and Ritual Purity in Islam
Authors: Osim Stella Eme , Eteng Nzeyo Gabriel
Published: December 2022

Purity is a beautiful word that is pleasing to the eye, and a quality that everyone wishes to maintain. From an Islamic perspective, purity has a general meaning. Thus it may mean, on one hand, physical cleanliness which is the purity (of the body) from perceptible filth or ritual purification. On the other hand, it may mean spiritual purity which is the purity of the self from vices, sins and abandoning disobedience, and getting used to good deeds and words. Purity (Arabic: طهارة‎, ṭahāra is an essential aspect of Islam. It is the opposite of najāsa, the state of being ritually impure. It is achieved by first removing physical impurities (for example, urine) from the body, and then removing ritual impurity by means of wudu (usually) or ghusl. Rules which regulate the cleanliness rituals are placed both by Quranic requirements, and the rituals to acquire a new level of social status in everyday Muslim life. Physically, spiritually, ethically, and psychologically every Muslim must value cleanliness and purity. In this work, I investigate the concept of “purity” from the Islamic perspective. I argue that cleanliness and purity form an essential ideal in Muslim piety and consciousness. The Qur'an frequently refers to it.

Published: December 2022

The average food consumption for potato commodities in Indonesia is 2.20 kg/capita/year, an increase of 9% from 2013. The need for potato consumption will increase as Indonesia's population increases. The growth rate of potato production is lower than that of potato consumption; therefore, it is necessary to increase potato productivity. The productivity level of potatoes in Indonesia is still low and fluctuates, with an average potato productivity of 18.23 tons/hectare. Increasing potato productivity can be done by increasing technical production efficiency or using certified seeds. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of using certified seed on the production and technical efficiency of potato farming in the Pangalengan district as one of the potato production centers in Bandung Regency. The technical efficiency analysis of the potato crop was performed using the Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Frontier Analysis production function with a total of 70 potato farmers as respondents, with details that 30 persons are using certified potato seed and 40 persons are using not certified potato seed. The results indicate that using certified potato seed has increased potato production. Overall, the average technical efficiency of potato production in the Pangalengan district is 70.10%, which means efforts to improve efficiency are still required. There is no significant difference in technical efficiency between potato farms using certified seed and not certified seed which means using certified potato seed has yet to be able to increase the technical efficiency of potato farms. One of the factors that significantly affect technical efficiency is land ownership status.

La autobiografía escrita: escenario para la reflexión del yo, el entorno social y el proyecto de vida en estudiantes de Educación Secundaria en Bogotá
Authors: Calvo Cubillos Clara Lucía , Villanueva Roa Juan de Dios
Published: December 2022

En la asignatura de español se analizaron 187 autobiografías escritas por estudiantes de secundaria con el fin de examinar la forma cómo asimilan la competencia lingüística, a nivel gramatical y emocional y su relación con el entorno. Estudios previos señalan la gramática y la ortografía para explorar el uso de la lengua, pero no profundizan en la personalidad adolescente. El escrito desarrolló la cronología humana, desde el embarazo, la familia y la escolaridad, hasta el proyecto de vida, eje articulador del producto textual. La metodología combina el método cuantitativo y cualitativo para la obtención de resultados que son: la asimilación de la competencia lingüística, el autoconocimiento y su devenir histórico en la vida de los estudiantes. Plantear el proyecto de vida es esencial para ellos ya que les permite observar su experiencia vital en perspectiva y mejorar las condiciones de pobreza que agobia a algunas familias, concretar sus objetivos y superar la ausencia de educación que les impide progresar y conseguir trabajos remunerados, acorde con sus capacidades. El autoanálisis y la reflexión les hizo comprender sus vivencias, cambiar aquellas susceptibles de hacerlo y procurar el bien personal y de quienes forman parte de su entorno. Hoy, los recientes acontecimientos sociales y políticos de Colombia, al realizar marchas pacíficas para reclamar mejores oportunidades laborales, educativas y de salud, harán que la juventud realice un análisis de la situación, reflexione sobre su futuro y proponga cambios que beneficien a la sociedad y al país, a la luz de la producción autobiográfica.
Educación, enseñanza, escuela y educación física: sentidos, relaciones y puntos de encuentros a la luz de la praxis docente
Authors: Oroño Lugano Marcela , Azaustre Lorenzo María Carmen
Published: December 2022

La educación física, como cultura del movimiento,   es una práctica compleja de enseñanza e investigación que se desarrolla históricamente y por tanto hay que analizar como práctica situada que ocurre entre sujetos que también tienen su propio sentido histórico, social y político. La educación en la escuela es el espacio privilegiado de enseñanza de la educación física para la transformación social, es decir, para la praxis. A partir de estas consideraciones en este artículo propongo algunas reflexiones sobre la importancia del estudio de la praxis docente en sentido amplio, así como el lugar del profesor de educación física en tanto sujeto involucrado con la educación de las nuevas generaciones y por tanto responsable de, no solo generar espacios que circulen los saberes propios de la educación física, sino también de habilitar la reflexión colectiva en un intento por superar la perspectiva técnica de la enseñanza. Primero se presenta el concepto de educación y escuela y los sentidos que han asumido históricamente, luego se presentan las prácticas de enseñanza institucionalizas, y por último se presentan algunos aspectos de la situación actual de la educación física en relación con la temática, es decir las relaciones entre educación, escuela y educación física escolar.

A INTERFACE RURAL-URBANA NAS CIDADES PEQUENAS DO SUL DE MINAS GERAIS
Authors: Alves Flamarion Dutra
Published: December 2022

A dinâmica dos espaços rurais e urbanos em cidades pequenas vem ganhando destaque na geografia brasileira nas últimas décadas. São vários motivos que apontam para o interesse dos processos geográficos nesses lugares, onde podemos citar, a participação desses municípios no contexto da rede urbana brasileira, quando muitos deles se especializam produtivamente, seja no setor industrial, terciário ou agropecuário. Podemos elencar ainda, a recente expansão universitária pós 2005, que instalou em contextos não metropolitanos ou em regiões sem cidades grandes, universidades e institutos de pesquisa, esse processo propiciou novas pesquisas nesses lugares, dando atenção as dinâmicas socioespaciais das cidades pequenas, compreendendo os modos de vida, o cotidiano e investigando a realidade a partir das vivências do lugar, superando a concepção metropolitana, de que nas cidades pequenas há uma (re) produção espacial dos grandes centros, quando na verdade há tantos outros processos complexos.
Na primeira seção do livro intitulada “Dinâmica do rural nas cidades pequenas” há 8 capítulos, que tratam do espaço rural nos municípios de Muzambinho, Poço Fundo, Divisa Nova, Três Pontas, Campo do Meio, Região Imediata de Alfenas e Três Corações e sua relação campo-cidade. Já na seção intitulada “Dinâmica do urbano nas cidades pequenas” há 7 capítulos que tratam do espaço urbano nos municípios de Extrema, Paraguaçu, Guaranésia, Três Corações, Passa Quatro, Jesuânia e Brazópolis.
Esperamos que essas pesquisas possam auxiliar no entendimento geográfico da região, suas potencialidades, desafios e estratégias para melhorias socioeconômicas da população local e dos lugares. Além de possibilitar informações e dados para instigar novas pesquisas sobre os pequenos municípios, cidades pequenas e o rural-urbano sul mineiro.

Reading environment and fluent reading skills
Authors: Isik Ayse Derya
Published: December 2022

Language skills have an important place in people’s thinking, understanding people around them and expressing themselves. Reading skills, which are among the other language skills, play a vital role for an individual in adapting them into his daily life. Reading should not be interpreted as recognizing merely the letters, the word and articulating them. In addition to understanding what is written, being able to read fluently is also one of the skills that need to be developed in reading teaching. In today’s developing conditions, thanks to the effective use of technological tools in every aspect of our lives reading is not only done on paper, but also on the screens of many different technological devices. Considering all these, reading on the screen is different from reading on paper, and the development of reading skills from the screen is currently necessary as well as the development of paper reading skills. The aim of this research is to determine the role of the reading environment on fluent reading skills. 24 students who were enrolled in the third and fourth grades of a primary school in the center of Bartin participated in the study. The demographic features of the students such as gender, class, possession of technological tools (computer, tablet, smart phone, etc.), and duration of use of technological tools were identified using a personal information form. Using a formula developed for Turkish by Atesman (1997), which permits estimating the readability level of the text based on word and sentence length, a text consisting of 189 words with an “easy” readability level was chosen in order to test the students’ fluency in reading. This text was read by the students both on paper and on the tablet computer screen, and their fluent reading skills were evaluated. In the end of the research, it is determined that the number of words students correctly read, the rates of their correct reading and prosodic reading skills differ according to the time of using a computer in reading from the screen; the number of words read correctly differs according to the time it takes to have a tablet computer in reading from paper; the classes differ in both paper reading and screen reading in favor of the 4th classes, whereas the correct reading rates differ only in paper reading. In line with the results of the research, suggestions were made to support the use of electronic media in schools and improve reading skills by supporting the use of technological tools.

Particular attention is paid to the letters that, during the historical development of the Ukrainian language, have had different readings, particularly <г>, <є>, <и>, <ъ>, <ь>.
Buket Uzuner’s Fire and Sacred Trees: An Interview and Impressions
Authors: Batur Pinar , Özdağ Ufuk
Published: December 2022

Buket Uzuner’s construction of iconography of nature, especially her integration of arboreal bodies in her novels, reveals anxiety mixed with the sense of accountability and responsibility she feels as we all face climate change. This work contains the interview that we conducted with Uzuner and an exploration of her conceptualisation of arboreal complexities in the age of climate change, especially discussing her upcoming work Fire. Our interpretation is informed by Paul Ricoeur, who approached different levels of hermeneutic adaptation by giving weight to both the transparency and opaqueness of the meaning of icons and metaphors.
The Healing Mathematics of Life in a Gesture: Jean Giono’s The Man Who Planted Trees
Authors: Besson Françoise
Published: December 2022

Jean Giono’s The Man Who Planted Trees gives a key to the awareness of connections between trees, the land, and all life. It shows the weight of a gesture in the revival of an apparently hostile desert, the role of an individual’s action for the community, either local or global, and also the healing power of that gesture. The tree-planting performed by the fictional shepherd has echoes in reality through Wangari Maathai’s action and the Greenbelt Movement and other individual or collective actions. The article tackles the importance of both a simple physical gesture and literature; it shows how one person’s behaviour can make a difference and change the world.

Mouse kidney parvovirus (MKPV), the etiology of murine inclusion body nephropathy, has been identified globally in mice used for research, with an estimated prevalence of 10% in academic colonies. In immunodeficient strains, MKPV causes significant morbidity and mortality, and severe
renal pathology. In contrast, in immunocompetent mice, the infection is subclinical and causes minimal pathology. We investigated viral infectivity and shedding in inbred C57BL/6NCrl (B6), outbred Crl:CD1(ICR) (CD1), and highly immunocompromised NOD. Cg - Prkdc scid Il2rg tm1Wjl/SzJ
(NSG) mice. Four doses, ranging from 1.16 × 10 3 to 1.16 × 10 6 viral copies per microliter, of an MKPV inoculum were administered oronasally to 3 mice per dose per mouse type. All 3 types (B6, CD1, and NSG) had persistent infection with prolonged shedding in urine and feces. Viral
copy number in the urine generally increased over time, while shedding in the feces was more variable. Among the 3 populations, CD1 mice developed viral shedding in urine earliest (4 wk after inoculation) and at higher levels (greater than 1 × 10 7 viral copies per microliter). B6 mice
become viruric later (7 wk after inoculation), with lesser virus shed (1 × 10 6 viral copies per microliter or less). In CD1 and B6 mice, peak urine shedding occurred at 11 to 14 wk after inoculation, after which levels gradually declined until 35 wk after inoculation (study endpoint).
In contrast, NSG mice did not become viruric until 10 wk after inoculation and continued to shed large amounts of virus (greater than 1 × 107 viral copies per microliter) in urine until the study endpoint. Two commercial immunofluorescent serologic assays failed to detect
serum antibodies to MKPV nonstructural protein 1 as late as 58 wk after inoculation, whereas immunohistochemistry of infected renal tissue successfully detected anti-MKPV serum antibodies. These results increase our knowledge of the biology of MKPV and have practical application for development
of effective screening programs for this pathogen.
Mujeres en el tejido de redes de sociabilidad y la gestión de bibliotecas en el siglo XVIII: el entorno cultural e intelectual de las duquesas de Almodóvar
Authors: Guinot Ferri Laura
Published: December 2022

Este trabajo analiza la participación de las mujeres en las redes de sociabilidad y la conformación de bibliotecas en el siglo XVIII. Se trataba de conexiones y espacios que se conformaron, o que ellas mismas construyeron, en la encrucijada de la circulación de ideas, modas y objetos con un fuerte componente transnacional. Por un lado, analizaré la participación de la primera duquesa de Almodóvar, María Joaquina Monserrat, en diferentes círculos intelectuales y de sociabilidad como resultado de su labor como embajadora consorte en diferentes países europeos. Por otro, ahondaré en la figura de su sobrina Josefa Dominga Catalá, futura duquesa de Almodóvar, y en la importancia de la formación y el entorno para el desarrollo de la capacidad de gestión de las bibliotecas familiares.

Obat‘merupakan sebuah bahan yang digunakan‘untuk mendiagnosis sebuah penyakit yang dapat digunakan untuk pencegahan atau pengobatan penyakit pada manusia atau hewan. Dalam penggunaannya, proses perencanaan stok obat di klinik atau rumah sakit merupakan hal penting yang harus diperhatikan karena apabila stok obat tidak sesuai maka akan menimbulkan masalah dalam ketersediaan stok obat. Pada penelitian ini terjadi permasalahan pada stok obat pada sebuah klinik yang berlokasi di Kabupaten Brebes yang mana terjadi kelebihan stok obat yang mengakibatkan jumlah data stok obat tidak sesuai dengan stok obat yang tersedia. Oleh sebab itu proses data mining dengan bantuan metodologi Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) digunakan untuk membantu dalam pengelolaan stok obat pada klinik tersebut. Adapun tahapan KDD diantaranya, data selection, data pre-processing, data transformation, data mining, dan interpretation/evaluation. Pengujian dilakukan dengan menggunakan aplikasi Rapid Miner. Penerapan metode asosiasi pada data mining mampu menghasilkan suatu aturan asosiasi baru dari masing–masing item. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan dengan algoritme FP-Growth, ditetapkan nilai support sebesar 75 frekuensi atau 23% dan nilai confidence sebesar 75%. Hasil penelitian menghasilkan 6 aturan asosiasi dengan kombinasi item terbesar hingga 3 item. Evaluasi pengujian yang didapat dari nilai Lift Ratio mendapat nilai rata-rata sebesar 1.267.

Consolidation ofChloridium: new classification into eight sections with 37 species and reinstatement of the generaGongromerizaandPsilobotrys

Chloridiumis a little-studied group of soil- and wood-inhabiting dematiaceous hyphomycetes that share a rare mode of phialidic conidiogenesis on multiple loci. The genus has historically been divided into three morphological sections,i.e.Chloridium,Gongromeriza, andPsilobotrys. Sexual morphs have been placed in the widely perceived genusChaetosphaeria, but unlike their asexual counterparts, they show little or no morphological variation. Recent molecular studies have expanded the generic concept to include species defined by a new set of morphological characters, such as the collar- like hyphae, setae, discrete phialides, and penicillately branched conidiophores. The study is based on the consilience of molecular species delimitation methods, phylogenetic analyses, ancestral state reconstruction, morphological hypotheses, and global biogeographic analyses. The multilocus phylogeny demonstrated that the classic concept ofChloridiumis polyphyletic, and the original sections are not congeneric. Therefore, we abolish the existing classification and propose to restore the generic status ofGongromerizaandPsilobotrys. We present a new generic concept and defineChloridiumas a monophyletic, polythetic genus comprising 37 species distributed in eight sections. In addition, of the taxa earlier referred toGongromeriza, two have been redisposed to the new genusGongromerizella. Analysis of published metabarcoding data showed thatChloridiumis a common soil fungus representing a significant (0.3 %) proportion of sequence reads in environmental samples deposited in the GlobalFungi database. The analysis also showed that they are typically associated with forest habitats, and their distribution is strongly influenced by climate, which is confirmed by our data on their ability to grow at different temperatures. We demonstrated thatChloridiumforms species-specific ranges of distribution, which is rarely documented for microscopic soil fungi. Our study shows the feasibility of using the GlobalFungi database to study the biogeography and ecology of fungi.
Microwave Bandpass Filter Design Using Coupled Line and Hairpin Topology
Authors: Alvi Talha Shahid
Published: December 2022

This paper presents the design, evolution, and simulation of hairpin band pas filter for low frequency applications. Hairpin filter becomes the most effective filter at low frequencies because of its compactness and reduced size. Unlike short circuit stub band pass filter, it does not required grounding. The design of the filter is to operate at 970 MHz of center frequency with 2% of the bandwidth which is at 960 MHz and 980 MHz frequency band respectively. The design of hairpin filter is a stepwise process which starts from determining the order of the filter and continue to the transformation from low pass filter to band pass filter and as a final step calculation of the width, length and the spacing between the resonators. All the simulations are done using Advance Design System (ADS) software. A number of substrates are used to choose the best suited substrate like FR4 and Rogers RO5880. As a real-life example EM simulator is used to relate the results to the fabricated device.
