Evaluation of Aortic Distensibility in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty
Liver Using CT
Authors: Yang Qianqian , Wang Zheng , Huang Zengfa , Zhang Shutong , Xie Yuanliang , Wang Xiang
Published: November 2021

Background:

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has attracted considerable attention with
continuously increasing morbidity.

Objective:

To evaluate the aortic distensibility in patients with non-diabetic and hypertension-type
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) through Dual-Source Computed Tomography (DSCT).

Method:

120 patients with NAFLD (experimental group) and 30 healthy subjects (control group)
were consecutively enrolled in the study. In the two groups, aortic distensibility was calculated as
D = ΔA/(A0 ×Δp). Record fasting insulin, fasting blood glucose, fasting lipid status, age, heart rate,
waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure. Calculate homeostasis
model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and Body Mass Index (BMI). A comparative
analysis between the two groups was carried out, followed by a correlation analysis between D value
and risk factors.

Results:

D value and liver attenuation of the patients in the NAFLD group were significantly reduced
relative to those in the control group (2.24±0.63×10-3 mmHg-1 vs. 3.19±0.86×10-3 mmHg-1,
P<0.001 and 41±6HU vs. 53±5HU, P<0.001, respectively) and their fasting blood glucose, fasting
insulin, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase, HOMA-
IR, and BMI were higher than those in the control group. Liver attenuation, HOMA-IR, age,
and BMI were significantly correlated with D value in the NAFLD group. The stepwise multiple
linear regression analysis indicates that liver attenuation and HOMA-IR were the significant risk
factors for D value (β coefficient =0.43, P =0.001, and β coefficient =-0.33, P =0.02, respectively).

Conclusion:

Patients with NAFLD suffer from a reduction in aortic distensibility, and insulin resistance
may play a significant role in the early atherosclerosis stage.
Lateral Medullary Infarction with Contralateral Segmental Dysesthesia
and Ipsilateral Headache: A Case Report
Authors: Wang Renjie , Shao Yankun , Xu Lei
Published: November 2021

Introduction:

The medulla oblongata is the lowest segment of the brain stem, located adjacent
to the spinal cord, with a complex anatomical structure. Thus, a small injury to the medulla
oblongata can show complex clinical manifestations.

Case Presentation:

A patient experienced dysesthesia, which manifested as numbness in her right
lower limb and decreased temperature sense, and dizziness 20 days before admission. The numbness
worsened 1 week before admission, reaching the right thoracic (T) 12 dermatomes. Her thermoception
below the T12 dermatomes decreased, and the degree of dizziness increased, accompanied
by nausea and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the neck, chest, and abdomen
performed at a local hospital showed no abnormalities. MRI of the brain was performed after
admission. One week after admission, she experienced a severe headache in the upper left periorbital
area. The numbness extended to T4, and thermoception decreased below T4.

Diagnosis:

Lateral medullary infarction.

Interventions:

Anti-platelet aggregation and mitochondrial nutritional therapies were performed
along with treatments for improving circulation and establishing collateral circulation.

Outcomes:

The intensity of limb numbness decreased, and the symptoms of headache and dizziness
resolved.

Conclusion:

Lesions leading to segmental sensory disorders can occur in the medulla oblongata. Ipsilateral
headaches with contralateral segmental paresthesia can be a specific sign of lateral medullary
infarction.

Managing natural resources sustainably is essential in this contemporary era of land use planning system. This includes managing and planning theinvaluable of coastal areas. In this regards, coastal management programmes have been regarded as a key approach in delivering the coastal strategies and objectives towards achieving a sustainable coastal development worldwide. This is supported by the good governance to ensure that the implementation of coastal development is successful. As such, this paper suggests that the aspect of good governance as one essential element of coastal management that can and should make a substantial contribution to planning and managing coastal land uses in Malaysia. It has many positive implications to the environmental, social and economic sectors. The experience of Lembaga Urus Air Selangor (LUAS) in managing the coastal areas via the implementation of good governance indicates the requirement of good governance in ensuring a successful coastal management. In addition, financial element has become a significant attribute in implementing coastal management initiatives. This study offers input in planning literatures by addressing the integration of coastal management, good local governance, land use planning and financial elements which are very relevant with todayâ€˜s current global changes on environment as a whole.

This paper presents a review of key conceptual and methodological issues that need to be considered when conducting research on creative cities in Malaysia. The conceptual and methodological issues relating to creative cities and creative industries should be addressed and dealt with in order to facilitate an enabling framework for contemporary research in this emerging area.
A THEORETICAL OVERVIEW OF ROAD HUMP EFFECTS ON TRAFFIC SPEED IN RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENTS
Authors: Bachok Khairun Sarah , Kadar Hamsa Abdul Azeez , Mohamed Mohd Zin , Ibrahim Mansor
Published: November 2021

This paper is part of an ongoing study to analyse the effectiveness of road humps as a traffic calming measure in improving the residential living environment. A review was conducted on various literatures concerning the effects of road humps on vehicle speeds, particularly in residential areas. The major findings from the literatures are that the vehiclesâ€™ operating speeds are affected by the hump design and spacing in between humps. An incorrect hump profile will also potentially result in passenger discomfort and vehicle damage. Public perceptions also agreed that road humps are effective in reducing vehicle speeds. More studies should link field study results with residentsâ€™ perceptions particularly in Malaysia, while considering the effect of road geometrics and other devices possibly impacting vehicle speeds along selected roads. Further research also needs to be done to test the effectiveness of current schemes in Malaysian residential areas, as many are on an ad-hoc basis.
A REVIEW INTO THE ISLAMIC TRADITION IN THE MUGHAL GARDEN: (RE)SHAPING OUR STAND ON ISLAMIC ART AND DESIGN
Authors: Abdul Latiff Zainab , Mohd Yaman Maheran
Published: November 2021

In the field of garden history, Mughal gardens represent a prominent chapter of what is often called the Islamic garden tradition. Most previous studies have discussed on its theories and principles. However, it is essential to establish the physical characteristics of the Mughal garden as representing Islamic garden tradition. The method of content analysis has been applied in this study. The study found that Mughal garden design is much influenced by the Persianâ€™s ChÄhÄrBÄgh, Hindu mythology and Quranic paradise imagery. To conclude, Mughal garden design needs to be assimilated into the current culture of local people within the established principles of environment in Islam.
BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS ON QUANTIFYING URBAN SPRAWL IN ASSESSING A COMPREHENSIVE MEANING OF SPRAWL : A REVIEW
Authors: Rosni Nur Aulia , Mohd Noor Noorzailawati , Abdullah Alias
Published: November 2021

After more than half century has passed, urban sprawl remains as one of the most important and unresolved matters in the urban development process. This paper adopts â€œBibliometrics Analysisâ€ technique, which is a statistical analysis of scientific publications to review the studies on urban sprawl from the year 1996 till 2015 in order to identify the fundamental issues and problem of urban sprawl. This method allows the researcher to review the literature of topic of interest critically, not only based on national and international networks but includes the multi-disciplinary fields of science and technology relating to urban planning. The publications on urban sprawl were retrieved from the two largest scientific databases namely Scopus and ScienceDirect. The sampling of publications was based on the â€œMost Cited Articlesâ€ indicator. The findings on urban sprawl issues and problems are presented in four categories, which are the lack of consensus in defining urban sprawl, unavailability of method to quantify urban sprawl, access to data and tools, and varying urban sprawl patterns based on area. The findings of this study provide the gap for future research on urban sprawl.
THE INTERPLAY OF SPATIAL POLICY, TRAVEL BEHAVIOUR AND AIR QUALITY IN ISKANDAR MALAYSIA
Authors: Permana Ariva Sugandi , Muhamad Ludin Ahmad Nazri , Majid M. Rafee
Published: November 2021

Iskandar Malaysia has been emerging as a centre of economic growth in the southern corridor of Malaysia. While the present spatial policy has emboldened the growth centre that inspires the urban development in the region to flourish, the spatial development has brought a substantial environmental consequence to urban areas. With the support of travel behaviour of the citizens as a catalyst, the interplay between spatial policy and urban air quality in the region becomes a major concern. This study began by undertaking spatial policy analysis at local and federal levels. Then, an origin-destination study was carried out to assess the travel behaviour of citizens and the concentricity or poly-centricity of the region as an eventual reflection of spatial policy. Based on the information on travel behaviour and number of vehicles in Iskandar Malaysia, the vehicle-kilometre travelled (VKT) was estimated as well as the carbon emission from the transport sector. An ethnographic survey was also conducted to understand the nonmotorized travel behaviour of the citizens i.e. willingness to walk. This survey was to crosscheck and confirm the willingness to walk of the citizens resulting from questionnaire survey. Results of the study reveal that the spatial policies of Iskandar Malaysia along with the travel behaviour of the citizens have strongly shaped the present spatial structure of Iskandar Malaysia region, and ultimately lead to ever increasing air pollution in the region.

Authors: El-Kishin Khaled
Published: November 2021

This paper sheds light on a grand new park that has been inaugurated in Cairo on March 25'", 2005. The park is just one element of a far-reaching urban renewal scheme which seeks to restore a slum of Islamic Cairo where many cultural assets and monuments exist. The ambitious project, which has galvanized the nation, has drawn on the resources of international, national and local agencies in addition to grassroots organizations. Upon completion, the integrated development project is envisaged to rehabilitate many dwellings, monuments and urban spaces, in addition to creating employment, drawing droves of tourists and improving the quality of life in its vicinity. Thus, the impact of the project will most certainly fulfill some of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set forth by the UN at the tum of the century.
KNOWLEDGE CITIES: EXAMINING THE DISCOURSE SMART VILLAGES, INTERNET CITIES OR CREATIVITY ENGINES
Authors: A. Alraout Ali
Published: November 2021

The world's growing cities are a critical fact of the 21st Century, and represent one of the greatest challenges to the future. By the year 2050 cities with populations over three million will be more than double; from 70 today to over 150. When knowledge is perhaps the most important factor in the future of city's economy, there is a growing interest in the concept of the "knowledge city". An acceptable definition of knowledge city might be it is not just a regular city. It is a growing space of exchange and optimism in which each and everyone can devote himself to personal and collective projects and aspirations in a climate of dynamism, hannony, and creativity. A world examination of the status of Knowledge Cities will reveal a tangible development in collective efforts of declaring and developing such cities around the globe. On the contrary, Arab cities are building technological isolated projects thinking that they are promoting the same concept. An examination of projects like Egypt' Smart Village and Dubai's Internet City and Knowledge Village will be helpful in evaluating the knowledge status of contemporary Arab Cities.The purpose of this paper is to explore the knowledge city concept in depth. It will discuss the principles of a knowledge city, and portrays its distinguishing characteristics and processes. I'll argue in this paper that the concept of 'Knowledge Cities' is rooted in the urban, cultural structure of traditional Arab cities. Therefore an attempt to foster this concept in today's Arab cities would not be possible by building isolated technologicalstatement scattered around the city. Alternatively, the rise of the network society, global networks, linked cities and existence of smart communities should construct the basis for shaping Arab Knowledge Cities.In addition, the paper will introduce the concept of Urban Creativity Engines , and examples of various types will be presented. I II argue that this is a more comprehensive concept for constructing and evaluating knowledge cities. Although this concept and its terminology is new, the paper will prove that there are many historical examples, regionally and internationally, of knowledge cities and Innovation/Creativity Engines. A focus on the traditional built environment of the Middle Eastern cities will be included to examine the main hypothesis of the paper.

Published: November 2021

Nowadays, public awareness on the potential dangers of environmental problems and the negative impact from the development has been increasing. Public has the right to know and participate in making decisions, particularly in those have potentially affect on the communities in which they live and work. Furthermore, Malaysia is adopting the Rio Declaration - Sustainable Development and Agenda 21. One of the fundamental prerequisites for the achievement of sustainable development is broad public participation in decision-making. Research had been carried out to identify the effectiveness of the public participation programme for Sabak Bemam District Local Plan 2002-2015 and Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020. The research was carried out by collecting feedback from the participants of public exhibitions and workshops for both of the plans. Through the research, it was found that series of workshops are the effective method of public participation for development plan as compared to public exhibition after draft proposal of the plan has been completed. An effective and successful public participation programme should allow members of the community to have an active voice in the process and to have a free access to important information.
Opening the Black Box of Daily Life in Nonsuicidal Self-injury Research: With Great Opportunity Comes Great Responsibility
Authors: Kiekens Glenn , Robinson Kealagh , Tatnell Ruth , Kirtley Olivia J
Published: November 2021

Although nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI)—deliberate damaging of body tissue without suicidal intent—is a behavior that occurs in interaction with real-world contexts, studying NSSI in the natural environment has historically been impossible. Recent advances in real-time monitoring technologies have revolutionized our ability to do exactly that, providing myriad research and clinical practice opportunities. In this viewpoint paper, we review new research pathways to improve our ability to understand, predict, and prevent NSSI, and provide critical perspectives on the responsibilities inherent to conducting real-time monitoring studies on NSSI. Real-time monitoring brings unique opportunities to advance scientific understanding about (1) the dynamic course of NSSI, (2) the real-time predictors thereof and ability to detect acute risk, (3) the ecological validity of theoretical models, (4) the functional mechanisms and outcomes of NSSI, and (5) the promotion of person-centered care and novel technology-based interventions. By considering the opportunities of real-time monitoring research in the context of the accompanying responsibilities (eg, inclusive recruitment, sound and transparent research practices, participant safety and engagement, measurement reactivity, researcher well-being and training), we provide novel insights and resources to open the black box of daily life in the next decade(s) of NSSI research.
CONTEMPLATION OF SYMBIOTIC MICROBIAL BIOFILMS IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Authors: SHARMA JUHI , JAIN PAWAN KUMAR , VISHWAKARMA VAISHALI , SHRIVASTAVA ANKITA
Published: November 2021

State of symbiosis is created among the species that are found in naturally existing biofilms. Biofilm formation provides protection against toxic shocks, mechanical stress, and predation. Biofilm can play an important role in wastewater treatment technologies and on the other hand could also lead to plague water. Biofilm-based treatments have been traditionally used for the treatment of water but the recent development in the stream has boosted the use of biofilm in various strategies of waste water treatment especially for strategies related to BOD and nutrients. However, the blueprint and execution of this idea is still being worked on due to the problems which arise in the implementation such as corroding pipes, increasing head loss, allowing pathogens to persist in distribution systems, and fouling membrane processes. Design for choice of species for biofilm processes in particular techniques is important wastewater treatment. All these data are essential to develop the performance, effectiveness and constancy of biofilm-based wastewater treatment strategies.

The effects of coworkers' development idiosyncratic deals on employees' cooperation intention
Authors: Zhang Xiaoyan , Wu Wenbing , Zhang Yihua , Deng Hui , Lan Yuanyuan , Li Daiheng
Published: November 2021

Idiosyncratic deals (i-deals) are individualized agreements of a nonstandard nature negotiated between employers and employees regarding employment terms, which are regarded as being beneficial for the organization. On the bases of social comparison theory and equity theory, we hypothesized
that witnessing the development i-deals of their coworkers would trigger employees' feeling of unfairness, causing lower cooperation intention. We further hypothesized that perceived future i-deals and task interdependence would play moderating roles in this reduction. Participants were 284
employees in China. The results show that feelings of unfairness mediated the relationship between witnessing development i-deals and the witnesses' cooperation intention. The positive relationship between witnessing development i-deals and feelings of unfairness was weaker when employees
perceived a stronger possibility of themselves obtaining a future i-deal, and a high level of task interdependence weakened the negative effect of feelings of unfairness on employees' cooperation intention.

Pentanahan merupakan salah satu faktor penting dalam menjaga sistem tenaga listrik untuk memperoleh keamanan, keselamatan peralatan, keselamatan lingkungan, maupun orang yang ada di sekitarnya. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut diharapkan sistem pentanahan harus mengikuti standar serta persyaratan yang berlaku. Akan tetapi, dalam hal ini sering terjadi penyimpangan hal-hal yang berkaitan erat dengan standar tersebut seperti kedalaman pemasangan pasak/elektrode pentanahan sehingga mengakibatkan nilai tahanan pentanahan tidak mencapai ≤ 5 Ω sesuai dengan yang dipersyaratkan dalam PUIL 2000. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisa pengaruh kedalaman elektrode yang divariasikan kedalamannya serta membandingkan antara metode Wenner dan Driven rod manakah yang menghasilkan tahanan pentanahan yang kecil dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kuantitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengaruh kedalaman elektrode cukup efektif dalam menurunkan tahanan pentanahan dengan nilai tahanan pentanahan untuk metode Driven rod dengan kedalaman 1 meter adalah 94,9 Ω, 1,25 meter adalah 77,1 Ω, dan 1,5 meter adalah 56 Ω. Sedangkan metode Wenner didapatkan kedalaman 1 meter adalah 72,14 Ω, 1,25 meter adalah 53,37 Ω, dan 1,5 meter adalah 31,48 Ω. Berdasarkan data tersebut maka diperoleh bahwa metode Wenner lebih efektif menurunkan nilai tahanan pentanahan dengan nilai tahanan pentanahan lebih kecil dibandingkan metode Driven rod.

Authors: Ávila-Vargas Gabriela
Published: November 2021

En Costa Rica, en la década de 1970, se desplazó de forma involuntaria a 2500 personas de las comunidades de Tronadora, Arenal y otros poblados desconcentrados en el campo para construir el megaproyecto Hidroeléctrico Arenal. Al presentar mayor población, Arenal fue de interés para la investigación, cuyos resultados se exponen en este artículo. Se indagó sobre la restitución agroforestal, recurriendo a fuentes secundarias, y se aplicaron entrevistas a conocedores del caso. El análisis fue cualitativo, con un alcance exploratorio y descriptivo.

Un 94 % de la población de Arenal optó por el reasentamiento involuntario. El 100 % de las familias reasentadas (325) contó con espacio para replicar el huerto casero. Se les brindó árboles para usos diversos y, con el tiempo, la agroforestería recuperó su funcionalidad y fue engalanando el paisaje.
