Authors: Febryanto Dwi , Retnaningsih  , Handayani Fitria
Published: May 2020

Introduction: Aphasia is understood as difficulty in understanding or producing language caused by disorders involving the brain hemispheres. Early assessment of aphasia is very important to prevent the emergence of telegraphic speech styles, improve welfare, independence, social participation, quality of life, reduce length of stay and care costs, but there is little literature on this subject, especially in stroke patients. Purpose: This study is to provide an overview of the assessment of aphasia in stroke patients. Methods: The design of a case study involving 6 participants and data collection was carried out by conducting an assessment using the Language Aphasia Screening Test (LAST) instrument which was monitored for 3 days, including monitoring errors for naming images, monitoring mismatches repeating words and sentences, monitoring spontaneous pronunciation, monitoring image comprehension, monitoring comprehension of verbal instructions.Results: A total of 6 ischemic stroke patients were found wrong in repeating words and sentences. Conclusion: In aphasic stroke patients all language modalities are impaired, ranging from spontaneous speech, repetition, naming, language comprehension, reading and writing

Published: May 2020

This paper presents comparative simulation results of a Microgrid (MG) system using a Static Var Compensator (SVC) for improving the voltage stability of the studied system. An Adaptive Neural Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) controller is designed based on the feedback signals to control the proposed SVC. For simplicity, the studied MG system can be modeled as an equivalent small scale wind turbine generator (WTG) combine with a Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and a Battery that connected to the common AC bus. A time-domain approach based on nonlinear model simulations is systematically performed. By observing the simulation results it can be concluded that the designed ANFIS controller for SVC can offer better damping characteristics of the studied MG system under severe operating conditions
A Novel Parallel DTC Segmentation Scheme for Fractional-N Digital PLLs
Authors: Vo Tuan Minh
Published: May 2020

In this paper, we propose a new parallel segmentation scheme for the digital/time converter (DTC) which is employed in fractional-N digital phase-locked loops (PLLs) to cancel out the quantization error induced by the digital DS modulator. The proposed parallel scheme removes one redundant least-mean square (LMS) gain in compared with the conventional parallel one. Therefore, the design of the system becomes less complicated while guaranteeing a fast convergence speed of the LMS gains and a short DTC time range. The effectiveness of the proposed segmentation scheme is demonstrated via simulations of a digital PLL built at behavioral level and compared to the conventional segmentation schemes.
Significance of geographical factors (climatic, topographic and social) to the COVID-19 outbreak in India
Authors: Gupta Amitesh , Banerjee Sreejita , Das Sumit
Published: May 2020

Very recently, large outbreak of COVID-19 cases all around the world has also whacked India since approximately 30,000 cases confirmed within first three months of transmission. The present study used long-term climatic records of air temperature (T), rainfall (R), actual evapotranspiration (AET), solar radiation (SR), specific humidity (SH), wind speed (WS) with topographic altitude (E) and population density (PD) at regional level to investigate the spatial association with number of COVID-19 infections (NI). Bivariate analysis failed to find any significant relation (except SR) with the number of infected cases within 36 provinces in India. Variable Importance of Projection (VIP) through Partial Least Square (PLS) technique signified higher importance of SR, T, R and AET. However, Generalized Additive Model (GAM) fitted with log-transformed value of input variables and applying spline smoothening to PD and E, significantly found high accuracy of prediction (R2=0.89), thus, well explained the complex heterogeneity among association of regional parameters with COVID-19 cases in India. Our study suggests that comparatively hot and dry regions in lower altitude of the Indian territory are more prone to the infection by COVID-19 transmission.

Temperamental Sensitivities Differentially Linked with Interest, Strain, and Effort Appraisals
Authors: Rawlings Anna Maria , Tapola Anna , Niemivirta Markku
Published: May 2020

The present research examined the connections between temperament (punishment sensitivity; interindividual reward sensitivity; intraindividual reward sensitivity), students’ domain- and course-specific motivational appraisals (interest, strain, effort), and performance, in two studies. Study 1 explored the relationships between temperamental sensitivities, motivational appraisals, and task achievement among secondary students (N = 268) in the domain of mathematics, using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) for the analyses. Study 2 was conducted longitudinally among upper-secondary students (N = 155) during a course in four key school subjects. Subject interest was included alongside the temperamental sensitivities as a predictor of course-specific motivation and course grades, and the data were analysed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Previous achievement was controlled in both studies.The findings showed temperamental sensitivities to be differentially linked with motivational appraisals. Punishment sensitivity in Study 1, and interindividual reward sensitivity (sensitivity to reward dependent on others’ approval or attention) in Study 2 were found to have an effect on psychological strain. In both studies, interest and effort were predicted by intraindividual reward sensitivity (positive responsiveness to novelty and own successes). In Study 2, subject interest was a consistent predictor of higher course interest and lower strain. In both studies, connections were found between strain and lower performance. The findings suggest individual characteristics may predispose students to certain motivational experiences, and contribute to educational outcomes, in both domain and course contexts and across subject content.
Exploring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and UK lockdown on individuals with experience of eating disorders
Authors: Branley-Bell Dawn , Talbot Catherine V.
Published: May 2020

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may raise unique challenges for individuals with experience of eating disorders. Many factors have potential for detrimental impacts on psychological wellbeing and eating disorder recovery, including: Disruption to living situations, ‘social distancing’ restrictions, difficult access to healthcare, and societal changes to food behaviours and technology usage. To date, little is known on the impact of the pandemic on this population particularly within the UK.Method: A mixed-methods online survey was developed for the purpose of this study. Data was collected from 129 individuals currently experiencing, or in recovery from, an eating disorder during the early stages of the UK pandemic lockdown. Participants were aged between 16-65 years, with 121 participants identifying as female, 7 male and 1 participant preferring not to disclose their gender.Results: Findings suggest that the pandemic is having a profound, negative impact upon individuals with experience of eating disorders. 8 key themes are generated: Disruption to living situation, increased social isolation and reduced access to usual support networks, changes to physical activity rates, reduced access to healthcare services, disruption to routine and perceived control, changes to relationship with food, increased exposure to triggering messages, and positive outcomes. The results suggest detrimental impacts on psychological wellbeing including decreased feelings of control, increased feelings of social isolation, increased rumination about disordered eating, and low feelings of social support.Conclusions: Individuals with eating disorders are at significant risk of negative impacts of the pandemic. There is a vital need for interventions to support this population. Inequalities in healthcare provision were identified, emphasising a need for a more cohesive approach to remote treatment across UK healthcare services. Positive aspects of technology use were identified but the results suggest a need to address and/or limit the potential for negative impacts of public messages around food and exercise behaviours, and to co-design technologies with end-users to facilitate effective treatment.
Can naive observers detect suicidality in face images? A replication and extension of Kleiman and Rule (2013)
Authors: Pearson Hannah , Balas Benjamin
Published: May 2020

Naive observers make a wide range of social judgments from face images, including estimations of mental health (e.g. depression, schizotypy). Such judgments may inform interactions between care providers and patients, including diagnosis. Kleiman and Rule (2013) demonstrated that naive observers could categorize static images at above chance levels according to suicidality and that the faces of individuals who died by suicide were rated as more impulsive than control faces. We attempted to replicate these results with a larger sample and extended the original report by implementing a 2AFC paradigm that minimizes response bias. We found that suicidality categorization was above-chance using the original testing paradigm, but performance dropped to chance in our 2AFC task. We found no evidence supporting differences in perceived impulsivity across categories in either paradigm. We discuss these outcomes from theoretical and methodological perspectives, and outline new directions for further research investigating social vision in clinical contexts.

The development of visual search behaviours in immersive virtual reality
Authors: Harris David , Hardcastle Kyle , Wilson Mark , Vine Samuel James
Published: May 2020

Virtual reality (VR) has clear potential for improving simulation training in many industries. Yet, methods for testing the fidelity, validity and training efficacy of VR environments is, in general, lagging behind their adoption. In this study we examined the effectiveness of VR for training Police room searching procedures, and assessed the corresponding development of perceptual-cognitive expertise through eye-tracking indices of search efficiency. Participants (n=54) were assigned to a VR rule-learning and search training game, a search only training game or a no-practice control group. The VR search training group developed more efficient search behaviours (indexed by saccade size, search rate and gaze entropy) and performed better than controls on a novel transfer test. Efficient gaze behaviours learned during training were not, however, evident during the transfer test. These findings demonstrate how VR can be used to develop perceptual-cognitive skills, but also highlight the challenges of achieving transfer of training.
Poultry Prices Skid in India Due to Fake News Circulation on Coronavirus
Authors: Goel Roshani , Yadav Kiran
Published: May 2020

India had its first case of COVID- 19 on January 30th 2020. Slowly the numbers started to increase by mid of February and so is the information on poultry products. Till January 2020 the prices of poultry products were 147.65 rupees per kg until there was a sharp drop in March 2020. The reason behind it was the rumours that coronavirus is caused by the consumption of poultry products. This paper tries to point to out that how these rumours have badly affected the poultry prices in India by looking at a source on which the information is passed on and also the condition under which people tend to believe such rumours. The study emphasis on the fact that such rumours have affected the business of rural population, in particular, making them sell their products at a lower price.
Did pre-Columbian populations of the Amazonian biome reach carrying capacity during the Late Holocene?
Authors: Arroyo-Kalin Manuel , Riris Philip
Published: May 2020

The increasingly better-known archaeological record of the Amazon basin, the Orinoco basin, and the Guianas both questions the long-standing premise of a pristine tropical rainforest environment and also provides evidence for major biome-scale cultural and technological transitions prior to European colonisation. Associated changes in pre-Columbian human population size and density, however, are poorly known and often estimated on the basis of unreliable assumptions and guesswork. Drawing on recent developments in the aggregate analysis of large radiocarbon databases, here we present and examine different proxies for relative population change between 1050 BC and AD 1500 within this broad region. By using a robust model-testing approach, our analyses document that the growth of pre-Columbian human population over the 1,700 years prior to European colonisation adheres to a logistic model of demographic growth. This suggests that, at an aggregate level, these pre-Columbian populations had likely reached carrying capacity (however high) before the onset of European colonisation. Our analyses also demonstrate that this aggregate scenario shows considerable variability when projected geographically, which bears on our overall understanding of the resilience of past human food procurement strategies. Lastly, our results provide important insights into pre-Columbian demographic trends and offer novel perspectives on demic expansions, language diversification, and subsistence intensification in the Amazonian biome during the late Holocene.
From the four-color theorem to a generalizing “four-letter theorem”: A sketch for “human proof” and the philosophical interpretation
Authors: Penchev Vasil Dinev
Published: May 2020

The “four-color” theorem seems to be generalizable as follows. The four-letter alphabet is sufficient to encode unambiguously any set of well-orderings including a geographical map or the “map” of any logic and thus that of all logics or the DNA (RNA) plan(s) of any (all) alive being(s).Then the corresponding maximally generalizing conjecture would state: anything in the universe or mind can be encoded unambiguously by four letters.That admits to be formulated as a “four-letter theorem”, and thus one can search for a properly mathematical proof of the statement.It would imply the “four colour theorem”, the proof of which many philosophers and mathematicians believe not to be entirely satisfactory for it is not a “human proof”, but intermediated by computers unavoidably since the necessary calculations exceed the human capabilities fundamentally. It is furthermore rather unsatisfactory because it consists in enumerating and proving all cases one by one.Sometimes, a more general theorem turns out to be much easier for proving including a general “human” method, and the particular and too difficult for proving theorem to be implied as a corollary in certain simple conditions.The same approach will be followed as to the four colour theorem, i.e. to be deduced more or less trivially from the “four-letter theorem” if the latter is proved. References are only classical and thus very well-known papers: their complete bibliographic description is omitted.

Istraživanje čaglja (Canis aureus) u Parku prirode Lonjsko polje akustičnom metodom i metodom fotozamki

Naglo širenje područja obitavanja čaglja, ali i povećanje gustoće populacije, govori o visokom stupnju prilagodlji­vosti te vrste različitim stanišnim uvjetima. Prije 15-tak godina, pojava čaglja na području Parka prirode (PP) Lonj­sko polje bila je sporadična, dok danas na tom području nedvojbeno egzistiraju teritorijalni čopori. U razdoblju od 2012. do 2015. godine provedeno je istraživanje s ciljem utvrđivanja broja i minimalne prosječne teritorijalne gustoće čopora čagljeva na području PP Lonjsko polje primjenom akustične metode i metode fotozamki.
Akustičnom metodom je procijenjeno da je na području PP Lonjsko polje u istraživanom razdoblju obitavalo 14 teritorijalnih čopora čagljeva, područje odaziva čagljeva bilo je od 186,30 do 214,50 km2 te se minimalna procijenjena gustoća čopora čagljeva kretala u rasponu od 0,65 do 0,75 na 10 km2. U usporedbi s drugim istraživanim područjima u Hrvatskoj teritorijalna gustoća čopora čagljeva procijenjena akustičnom metodom na području PP Lonjsko polje je nešto manja, a jedan od mogućih razloga je činjenica da su određeni dijelovi PP Lonjsko polje u nekim razdobljima nedostupni čagljevima zbog poplava, što bi moglo imati utjecaj na njihovo korištenje prostora.
U razdoblju od 2012. do 2015. godine metodom fotozamki je prikupljeno 437 (8,8 %) fotografija/video isječaka na kojim su zabilježeni čagljevi. Nakon uklanjanja triplikata preostalo je 336 događaja čaglja odnosno fotografija/video isječaka na kojima je ukupno zabilježeno 359 jedinki čaglja, bez mogućnosti determinacije na razini jedinke. Od ukupnog broja događaja, jedna jedinka je zabilježena u 94,64 % događaja, a u 0,30 % događaja zabilježen je najveći broj jedinki, odnosno 5 jedinki na istoj fotografiji/video isječku. Uporabom metode fotozamki je utvrđeno da je najveći stupanj aktivnosti čagljeva noću (73,51 % od ukupnog broja događaja) i u sumrak (19,64 %), ali su zabilježene i dnevne aktivnosti (6,85 %). Najveći broj događaja, zabilježen je između 3 i 5 sati. Tijekom dana, u četiri godine primjene metode fotozamki, nikada nije snimljena fotografija čaglja između 14 i 16 sati te 17 i 18 sati. Čagalj iskorištava resurse koje mu omogućavaju ljudske aktivnosti i naseljena područja. Međutim, ako na području obitavanja čaglja prevladavaju mozaici poljoprivrednih površina, gdje plijena ima u izobilju, ali je ograničena mogućnost dnevnog zaklona, čagljevi se pretežito kreću noću, što smanjuje rizik od susreta s ljudima.

Mechanisation used in forest utilisation has an impact on the occurrence of damage in stand and on forest land. The research in this work had the objective of determining damage on fir trees and other tree species during felling and processing of trees and their skidding using the forest cable-skidder. The research wasconducted in mixed beech and fir forests in the area of FMA “Glamočko”, M.U. “Hrbinje-Kujača”. The following data were gathered on damaged trees: tree type, breast height diameter, economic importance of the tree, amount of damage, location of damage, cause of damage, types of damage. Damage was recorded on a total of 305 trees, 133 trees of silver fir (Abies alba), 130 trees of European beech (Fagus sylvatica), 33 trees of European spruce (Picea abies), 8 trees of rowan/mountain-ash (Sorbusaucuparia) and one tree of sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus). The overall damage intensity was 18.7%, but together with the old damages, the overall number of ‘wounds’ is 496. According to this, when the old damage isalso considered, then the intensity of damage amounts to 30.6%. The largest amount of damage is in the diameter sub-class ranging from 10 to 14.99 cm. According to the cause of damage, the largest amount of damage occurred during the wood extraction phase (217 trees), while during the felling phase, 88 trees or 29% were damaged. Since the wood extraction phase is divided into the winching and skidding phases, the total number of damaged trees during the winching phase amounted to 157 or 52%, while during the skidding phase, the number of damaged trees was 60 or 19%. To reduce damage to the trees during following operations in forest utilisation, it is necessary to perform more frequent training of all employees working on forest utilisation, to increase controls in execution of operations during forest utilisation, modernise machines used during forest exploitation, and in quality manner open compartments with forest road infrastructure.
