Economic Efficiency of Extensive and Intensive Shrimp Production under Conditions of Disease and Natural Disaster Risks in Khánh Hòa and Trà Vinh Provinces, Vietnam
Authors: Nguyen Kim Anh Thi , Nguyen Tram Anh Thi , Jolly Curtis , Nguelifack Brice Merlin
Published: March 2020

Uncertainty about efficiency and sustainability of shrimp production due to diseases and climatic events may prevent Vietnam from attaining US $10 million target from shrimp exports by 2025. We surveyed 120 and 159 shrimp farmers from Khánh Hòa and Trà Vinh provinces, respectively, to obtain information on their input use, production levels and the effects of diseases and climate change events on their farm profitability. Stochastic production frontier analysis (SFA) discovered that the number of workers, crops and seed costs positively influenced farmers’ profits, while cost of chemicals and labour negatively affected the profit of Khánh Hòa farmers. The number of workers and chemical costs positively affected profits in Trà Vinh, while cost of labour and energy, the number of crops and average stocking density negatively influenced farmer profit in Trà Vinh. Number of years of schooling, experience and average size of ponds positively influenced economic efficiency, while the number of ponds and climatic change events negatively influenced efficiency in Khánh Hòa province. Age and alternative power source positively affected economic efficiency, while disease prevalence affected efficiency of Trà Vinh. All farms practicing intensive or extensive shrimp production achieved 90% efficiency. The government should encourage the wise use of resources, high-quality seeds and a sensitive balance between intensive and extensive culture to sustainably attain its national production and export goals.
Transport Mode and the Value of Accessibility–A Potential Input for Sustainable Investment Analysis
Authors: Eliasson Jonas , Kopsch Fredrik , Mandell Svante , Wilhelmsson Mats
Published: March 2020

Accessibility plays an essential role in determining real estate prices and land use. An understanding of how accessibility and changes in accessibility influence real estate prices is key to making decisions regarding investments in infrastructure projects. From an accessibility point of view, it is not clear that there should be differences in valuation depending on the mode of public transport, road, or rail. There are, however, other differences that may affect real estate prices differently. For example, railway stations more often than bus stations, tend to be associated with a higher level of service. In addition, an investment in a railway station may signal a long-term decision from the policymaker. A third possible explanation concerns differences in perceived safety, comfort, and security. This paper aims to study if and how capitalization of accessibility differs between modes of transportation. The findings indicate that rail has a higher impact, both for single-family and multifamily houses. The implication of these findings may be of importance for future infrastructure investments and their corresponding cost-benefit analyses. Incorrect valuations of the benefits of infrastructure investments may result in sub-optimal investments.

Smallholders constitute more than three quarters of the world’s farmers, and despite their numbers, they commonly lack opportunities to advance their development status. Bioenergy production and consumption can help sustain smallholders’ energy needs and generate employment and income, but it also raises concerns over social justice and equity, especially where crops used for bioenergy could also be used for food. This perspective paper is grounded in a literature review related to three different crops in Brazil: sugarcane, landrace maize and sweet potato. It seeks to determine if these crops offer the potential to support smallholder farmers’ development in a more equitable way, focusing on opportunities for their use in bioenergy. We review the literature to identify policies shaping the smallholder development context in relation to these crops, assessing whose knowledge informs policy and institutional decision making, and highlighting the policy attention afforded to the different crops from different sectors. We further evaluate the literature on each crop in relation to water use and calorific value (i.e., food and energy). Our review indicates that while sugarcane has received the most policy and institutional attention, its development is largely anchored in research and development investments that support large-scale commercial farms and agri-businesses. Smallholders have not benefited or had the opportunity to engage in relevant policy decision making for sugarcane cultivation. At the same time, smallholders hold valuable untapped knowledge on the cultivation of sweet potato and landrace maize, both of which have the potential to generate development opportunities for smallholders. Our review suggests that the environmental impact of landrace maize and sweet potato in terms of water use is significantly lower than sugarcane, while they can generate more calories for energy or food consumption and offer diversification opportunities. Despite that these alternative crops offer considerable untapped potential to support rural development, more research is still needed to harness these benefits. Changes are needed to address inequities in policies, institutions and the types of knowledge informing decision making. Such changes need to afford smallholder farmers greater recognition and participation in decision making, so that the distribution of benefits from the three study crops can reach them to support their development better.

Potentially toxic elements (PTEs)-induced genotoxicity on aquatic plants is still an open question. Herein, a single clone from a population of water hyacinth covering a large distribution area of Nile River (freshwater) was transplanted in two drainage water resources to explore the hazardous effect of PTEs on molecular, biochemical and anatomical characters of plants compared to those grown in freshwater. Inductivity Coupled Plasma (ICP) analysis indicated that PTEs concentrations in water resources were relatively low in most cases. However, the high tendency of water hyacinth to bio-accumulate and bio-magnify PTEs maximized their concentrations in plant samples (roots in particular). A Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay showed the genotoxic effects of PTEs on plants grown in drainage water. PTEs accumulation caused substantial alterations in DNA profiles including the presence or absence of certain bands and even the appearance of new bands. Plants grown in drainage water exhibited several mutations on the electrophoretic profiles and banding pattern of total protein, especially proteins isolated from roots. Several anatomical deteriorations were observed on PTEs-stressed plants including reductions in the thickness of epidermis, cortex and endodermis as well as vascular cylinder diameter. The research findings of this investigation may provide some new insights regarding molecular, biochemical and anatomical responses of water hyacinth grown in drainage water resources.

Authors: Huang Jing , Kang Jinle , Wang Huimin , Wang Zhiqiang , Qiu Tian
Published: March 2020

Quickly obtaining accurate waterlogging depth data is vital in urban flood events, especially for emergency response and risk mitigation. In this study, a novel approach to measure urban waterlogging depth was developed using images from social networks and traffic surveillance video systems. The Mask region-based convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) model was used to detect tires in waterlogging, which were considered to be reference objects. Then, waterlogging depth was calculated using the height differences method and Pythagorean theorem. The results show that tires detected from images can been used as an effective reference object to calculate waterlogging depth. The Pythagorean theorem method performs better on images from social networks, and the height differences method performs well both on the images from social networks and on traffic surveillance video systems. Overall, the low-cost method proposed in this study can be used to obtain timely waterlogging warning information, and enhance the possibility of using existing social networks and traffic surveillance video systems to perform opportunistic waterlogging sensing.
Capturing a Complexity of Nutritional, Environmental, and Economic Impacts on Selected Health Parameters in the Russian High North
Authors: Gao Tianming , Erokhin Vasilii
Published: March 2020

The rapid pace of economic exploration of the Arctic against the backdrop of progressing environmental change put a high priority on improving understanding of health impacts in the northern communities. Deficiencies in the capability to capture the complexity of health-influencing parameters along with a lack of observations in circumpolar territories present major challenges to establishing credible projections of disease incidence across varying northern environments. It is thus crucial to reveal the relative contributions of coacting factors to provide a basis for sustainable solutions in the sphere of public health. In order to better understand the adverse effects associated with public health, this study employed six-stage multiple regression analysis of incidence rates of fourteen diseases (International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) codes most widespread in the Russian Arctic) against a set of environmental, nutritional, and economic variables. Variance inflationary factor and best-subsets regression methods were used to eliminate collinearity between the parameters of regression models. To address the diversity of health impacts across northern environments, territories of the Arctic zone of Russia were categorized as (1) industrial sites, (2) urban agglomerations, (3) rural inland, and (4) coastline territories. It was suggested that, in Type 1 territories, public health parameters were most negatively affected by air and water pollution, in Type 2 territories—by low-nutrient diets, in Type 3 and Type 4 territories—by economic factors. It was found that in the Western parts of the Russian Arctic, poor quality of running water along with low access to the quality-assured sources of water might increase the exposure to infectious and parasitic diseases and diseases of the circulatory, respiratory, and genitourinary systems. Low living standards across the Russian Arctic challenged the economic accessibility of adequate diets. In the cities, the nutritional transition to low-quality cheap market food correlated with a higher incidence of digestive system disorders, immune diseases, and neoplasms. In indigenous communities, the prevalence of low diversified diets based on traditional food correlated with the increase in the incidence rates of nutritional and metabolic diseases.

Published: March 2020

Companies are currently changing their traditional role in society and transforming it into a proactive role in which their operations generate social and environmental positive impacts. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has evolved from simple philanthropy to a more theoretical concept with a new corporate philosophy that takes all the interests of all stakeholders into consideration. The financial market is pushing the development of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI), which has led to the rise of Corporate Sustainability Systems (CSS). These CSSs are tools that rate corporate performance on sustainability. However, they constitute a chaotic universe, with instruments of different nature. This paper identifies and groups the common characteristics of the CSSs into three different typologies: Indexes, Rankings and Ratings. Despite this classification, and although the fundamental pillar of CSR is the “Stakeholder Theory”, CSSs are still not ideal tools to be used by all stakeholders. From the magma of CSSs, this article identifies and describes, through a comparative analysis, those which best comply with the “Stakeholder Theory”. This paper facilitates the work of researchers and stakeholders by exposing the differential characteristics of the most important CSSs.

The design of the mRNA vaccine involves the selection of in vitro transcription (IVT) systems and nonviral delivery vectors. This study aimed to verify the effect of 5’ and 3’ untranslated region (UTR) sequences on the translation efficiency of mRNA. Three modes of IVT-mRNA systems (IVT-mRNA-n1/n2/n3) with diverse UTRs were constructed, and EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein) and HA (hemagglutinin) gene of H3N2 influenza virus were introduced into each of them. The results showed that the mode of 5’ and 3’ UTRs originating from human β-globulin was better than the mode of UTRs from human α-globulin, and the n3 mode was the best. mEGFP-n3, mH3HA-n3, and mLuciferease-n3 were prepared to compare the effect of cationic lipid nanoparticle (LNP) with that of mannose-conjugated LNP (LNP-Man) on the efficiency of gene delivery. The results showed that the effect of LNP-Man was better than that of LNP both in vitro and in vivo. Choosing appropriate ligands might help in vaccine design. After selecting the IVT-mRNA-n3 system and delivery vectors, mRNA vaccines were constructed against the H1N1 influenza virus, and C57BL/6 mice were immunized through intranasal administration. The results showed that mRNA vaccines could elicit both humoral and cellular immune responses and completely protect mice from the tenfold LD50 H1N1 influenza virus challenge.
Yeats, Pound, and the Little Review, 1914-1918
Authors: Hutton Clare
Published: March 2020

Yeats made a small but interesting set of contributions to the avant-garde US periodical the Little Review, a journal for which Ezra Pound acted as ‘Foreign Editor’ and an important locus for modernist literature. My essay explores the range of Yeats’s contributions, and Pound’s rationale for being editorially involved. It examines editorial attitudes to the First World War, particularly in 1917, and the version of ‘In Memory of Robert Gregory’ which Yeats placed in the journal. By focusing on such specific moments and small textual details, the essay close reads what Sean Latham has described as “emergence,” “a particular kind of complexity that arises not from the individual elements of a system, but only from their interaction.”
POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE - PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT
Authors: Nguyen Gia Dinh
Published: March 2020

Most maternal deaths due to postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) occur in low-income countries in settings (both hospital and community) where there are no birth attendants or where birth attendants lack the necessary skills or equipment to prevent and manage PPH and shock. In hospital, obstetricians should try to perform the prediction and prevention of PPH, finding the risk factors for developing PPH and how can they be minimised. The treatment of patients with PPH has two major components: (1) Resuscitation and management of obstetric hemorrhage and, possibly, hypovolemic shock and (2) Indentification and management of the underlying cause(s) of the hemorrhage. Successful management of PPH requires that both components be simultaneously and systematically addressed. PPH is a potential life-threatening event. Right from the start, obstetricians have early opportunities to assess risk, anticipate, prevent, plan in advance of a PPH, and can help to improve patients outcomes

Authors: Tran Thi Thao Nhi , Nguyen Dinh Toan
Published: March 2020

Background and Purpose: Stroke is the second cause of mortality and the leading cause of disability. Using the clinical scale to predict the outcome of the patient play an important role in clinical practice. The Totaled Health Risks in Vascular Events (THRIVE) score has shown broad utility, allowing prediction of clinical outcome and death. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducting on 102 patients with acute ischemic stroke using THRIVE score. The outcome of patient was assessed by mRankin in the day of 30 after stroke. Statistic analysis using SPSS 15.0. Results: There was 60.4% patient in the group with THRIVE score 0 – 2 points having a good outcome (mRS 0 - 2), patient group with THRIVE score 6 - 9 having a high rate of bad outcome and mortality. Having a positive correlation between THRIVE score on admission and mRankin score at the day 30 after stroke with r = 0.712. THRIVE score strongly predicts clinical outcome with ROC-AUC was 0.814 (95% CI 0.735 - 0.893, p<0.001), Se 69%, Sp 84% and the cut-off was 2. THRIVE score strongly predicts mortality with ROC-AUC was 0.856 (95% CI 0.756 - 0.956, p<0.01), Se 86%, Sp 77% and the cut-off was 3. Analysis of prognostic factors by multivariate regression models showed that THRIVE score was only independent prognostic factor for the outcome of post stroke patients. Conclusions: The THRIVE score is a simple-to-use tool to predict clinical outcome, mortality in patients with ischemic stroke. Despite its simplicity, the THRIVE score performs better than several other outcome prediction tools.

Authors: Huynh Thi Ngoc Giang , Phan Anh Chi
Published: March 2020

Microleakage can result in failure of endodontic treatment. An important characteristic of endodontic sealer is sealing ability. The aim of this experimental study was to compare the apical leakage of teeth obturated with single-cone and warm vertical condensation techniques using three different sealers (Cortisomol, AH Plus, Apexit Plus).
Materials and Methods: Sixty extracted human lower premolar teeth were selected and randomly assigned to six groups (n = 10), according to the root canal sealer and technique used for obturation: (A) Single-cone technique with Cortisomol; (B) Single-cone technique with AH Plus; (C) Single-cone technique with Apexit Plus; (D) Warm vertical condensation technique with Cortisomol; (E) Warm vertical condensation technique with AH Plus; (F) Warm vertical condensation technique with Apexit Plus. The teeth were immersed in India ink for seven days and clarified using methyl salicylate. The extent of apical dye penetration was measured with a measuroscope in all aspects of the canal.
Results: The mean penetration length of dye in Cortisomol, AH Plus and Apexit Plus samples were 0.85, 0.98 and 0.58 mm, respectively. The differences between three groups were not significant (p > 0.05); also, the mean dye penetration in obturating with single-cone and warm vertical condensation techniques using Cortisomol, AH Plus, Apexit Plus was not significantly different.
Conclusion: Cortisomol, AH Plus, Apexit Plus were similarly effective in prevention of apical microleakage. Differences in the mean dye penetration between the groups which were obturated with Single-cone and warm vertical condensation were not statistically significant.

Досліджено проблеми методичного забезпечення запровадження внутрішньої системи оцінки якості освіти в контексті діяльності ХарРІ НАДУ. Встановлено, що якість освіти є одним з найважливіших критеріїв ефективності й успішності освітньої діяльності як учасників освітніх відносин, так і самої системи освіти. Запропоновано авторське визначення поняття “внутрішня система якості освіти” під яким слід розуміти сукупність методів та заходів здійснюваних з метою гарантування та впровадження кількісних та якісних показників якості освіти. Зроблено висновок, що одним із найважливіших елементів забезпечення внутрішньої системи якості освіти є моніторинг, який можна охарактеризувати як комплексну системну діагностику кількісних і якісних характеристик ефективності розвитку і функціонування освітньої системи. Внутрішня оцінка якості освіти має формуватися як сукупний показник всіх характеристик, що впливають на освітній процес, внаслідок чого основою системи оцінки та управління якістю освіти повинен стати моніторинг здійснюваний за управлінським зразком.
ПРОБЛЕМИ СПІВВІДНОШЕННЯ ДЕРЖАВНОГО ТА РИНКОВОГО РЕГУЛЮВАННЯ СИСТЕМИ ОСВІТИ
Authors: Sierkova N.A.
Published: March 2020

У статті досліджено проблеми співвідношення державного та ринкового регулювання системи освіти. Визначено, що сьогодні, зі збільшенням значущості вищої освіти, зростає роль регулювання даної сфери. Це регулювання здійснюється як ринковими методами, такими, як: вплив попиту з боку населення, підприємств, конкуренція між вузами. Так і методами, застосовуваними державою: адміністративно-правове регулювання, вплив державного замовлення, субсидування, податкове регулювання. Ефективне співвідношення державних і ринкових сил в системі вищої освіти визначається в кожній країні в залежності від вирішуваних соціальних, економічних завдань.

Визначення оптимального поєднання державних і ринкових механізмів регулювання системи вищої освіти є комплексною проблемою. При її рішенні необхідно враховувати як мінімум три чинники, такі як, стратегічні пріоритети розвитку економіки, поточні умови вдосконалення виробничих сил і соціально-політичну обстановку на даний момент часу. Кожен фактор може впливати на визначення оптимуму.

Так, у тому випадку, коли основними напрямками економічного розвитку є досягнення високої продуктивності праці, розширення участі в міжнародних економічних відносинах, орієнтація на експорт наукоємних технологій, промислової продукції, необхідно підвищення якості підготовлюваних в системі вищої освіти фахівців. Досягнення цього можливе лише при значному державному регулюванні, коли вплив на вищу школу здійснюється в рамках загального регулювання економіки, націленої на підвищення ефективності економічних процесів. Навіть якщо економічний розвиток виглядає благополучним, недоцільно повністю відмовлятися від державного участі, так як необхідно постійно стимулювати інвестиції в освіту. Знання з часом застарівають, і країна, що не приділяє належної уваги освіті, може зіткнутися з серйозними проблемами в майбутньому.
Cosas que anudan a las parejas

Published: March 2020

En las historias de amor siempre hay objetos y momentos puntuales que tienen un potencial definitorio, sea para unir o para desarmar las parejas. Analizo cinco tipos de estas cosas —objetos simbólicos y momentos—que ayudaron a anudar historias de amor entre varones gays que aparecieron en producción cultural argentina contemporánea. El objetivo es ver cómo estas cosas, genéricamente hablando, se insertaron dentro de tramas amorosas específicas y qué sentidos fueron aportando.El primero de los ejes rastrea el modo en que los objetos sagrados aparecen en las relaciones. El segundo recupera la dimensión lúdica de las parejas al centrarse en los juegos. El tercer eje versa sobre la dimensión dramática de las historias de amor y focaliza en discusiones y reconciliaciones. Los viajes son pensados como rituales capaces de unir o separar a las parejas. Y en el último eje se analizan las dimensiones potenciales de cuestiones imaginarias que pueden anudar a los amantes. Como se intenta mostrar, todas estas cosas se entretejen conformando un código de pareja.

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación cualitativa encaminada a conocer qué relevancia adquiere para los deportistas y anunciantes la gestión de redes sociales como plataformas de comunicación estratégica. Se trata de ofrecer una descripción, lo más próxima a la realidad, del nivel de planificación de la comunicación digital de los deportistas de élite de nacionalidad chilena de disciplinas menos masivas, especialmente cuando se convierten en embajadores de alguna marca. Se empleó el método Delphi para lo que se contó con la colaboración de siete profesionales referentes del mundo deportivo de Chile con roles diferentes dentro de la industria del deporte (cuatro deportistas nacionales, sport manager, agente de marketing de Adidas Chile, periodista especializado) con el objetivo de aproximarse y definir, a través de opiniones de expertos en la materia, la estrategia comunicativa imperante en este contexto de análisis. Entre las conclusiones se puede destacar que este perfil de deportista gestiona “espontáneamente” sus redes sociales sin una estrategia comunicativa (ni económica) de base, sin contemplar la posibilidad de desarrollar a largo plazo su propia marca personal que les permita mantener una relación de cobranding con los anunciantes que les patrocinan, interesados cada vez más en este tipo de relación comercial

Published: March 2020

Implementing accurate and reliable passenger detection and counting system is an important task for the correct distribution of available transport system. The aim of this paper is to develop an accurate computer vision-based system to track and count passengers. The proposed passenger detection system incorporates the ideas of well-established detection techniques and is optimally customised for both indoor and outdoor scenarios. The candidate foreground regions (inside an image) are extracted in the proposed method and are described using the histograms of oriented gradient descriptor. These features are trained and tested using support vector machine classifier and the detected passengers are tracked using a filter. The proposed counting system is used to count passengers automatically when they pass through a virtual line of interest. Accuracies ranging 91.2 percent to 86.24 percent were found for passenger detection using the proposed passenger detection and counting system whereas relative counting errors varied ten percent to thirteen percent.

Hasil Penelitian menunjukkan nilai rerata kelancaran ASI pada kelompok intervensi pijat oksitosin  661.20 dan pada kelompok intervensi pijat endorphin 598.60, dengan p value 0.454  > 0.05, yang bermakna tidak ada perbedaan kelancaran produksi ASI pada kedua kelompok intervensi., sehingga dapat disimpulkan intervensi pijat oksitosin dan pijat endorphin sama-sama berpengaruh untuk meningkatkan kelancaran produksi ASI.Kata kunci: pijat oksitosin, kelancaran ASITHE EFFECT OF OXYTOCIN MASSAGE ON BREAST MILK PRODUCTION OF POSTPARTUM MOTHERSABSTRACTBreast milk is the main source of nutrition for babies who have not been able to digest solid food, the benefits of breast milk will greatly increase if the baby is only given breast milk for the first 6 months of life. The phenomenon that is currently found is that the coverage of breast milk is increasingly decreasing with various factors causing it. Oxytocin massage is one of the efforts to expedite milk production with a mechanism capable of triggering the release of prolactin and oxytocin which is a hormone needed to excrete milk. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of oxytocin massage for smooth milk. This research method uses quasi experiment in 30 respondents divided into 2 intervention groups. Parametric statistics used to test the differences in the results of the two intervention group are the independent test. The results showed the mean value of smoothness of breast milk in the intervention group after being given oxytocin massage 661.20 and in the intervention group given endorphin massage 598.60, with p value 0.454> 0.05, which means there was no difference in the smoothness of breast milk in the two intervention group, equally influential to increase the smooth production of breast milkKeyword: Oxytocin Massage, Milk Production

Edge detection Using Combination of Decomposition Filter and Simplified Hyperbolic Tangent Filter.docx
Authors: Swaminathan Anand
Published: March 2020

This paper presents a new combination
of Decomposition Filters (DF) and Hyperbolic Tangent (HBT) based simplified directional
operators for edge detection (ED). Conventional separable algorithms are
limited in capturing the geometric features and non-separable filters eliminate
these restrictions. The high-frequency band of the DF of proposed method achieves
the edge information. A set of edge operators in the form of simple
non-separable patterns for different scales, and orientations are applied on
the edge information to capture linear edge structures and directions. While
testing with ten natural images, this algorithm has improved performances in
terms of reduced Mean Squared Error (MSE) in the reconstruction estimation
measure. The performance measure compares the Simplified Gabor Wavelet (SGW) based
ED.

Published: March 2020

This paper proposes a flexible multi-standard digital frontend
(DFE) hardware architecture designed for three main
low-power wide-area (LPWA) technologies: LoRa, Sigfox,
and narrowband-Internet of things (NB-IoT).We demonstrate
the feasibility of an unified DFE architecture that fits the requirements
of these LPWA technologies. The proposed DFE
architecture has been implemented on a Spartan-6 field programmable
gate array (FPGA) within a base station receiver,
and tested using a universal software radio peripheral (USRP)
based platform. We show that the expected performance can be
achieved with low hardware complexity, in terms of memory
and logic requirements.
