Abstract

Bankruptcy is a decision made by a court after examining the assets and liabilities of individuals even businesses in which they are not able to pay their bills. Due to the importance of prevent bankruptcy to be happened in such business, a calculation which can predict probability bankruptcy is necessary. This paper aims to investigate probability bankruptcy using Support Vector Regression. There are 6 variables for 2016 to 2018 period coming from 17 coal mining companies from Indonesia. The model built by using Support Vector Regression indicates a good performance because it has the highest coefficient of determination compared to previous research.

Material Based Computational Design Strategies
Authors:   New York Institute of Technology, White Dustin
Published: November 2022

The lecture outlines the past five years of a research-based design practice with an interest how technology, craft, and materials come together in ways that explore the boundaries between design, architecture, and other disciplines. Specifically, the pedagogy of material based computational strategies supporting the integration of form, material, and structure by incorporating physical form-finding strategies with digital analysis and fabrication processes. In this approach material often comes before shape, with material explorations as the premise for making and fabricating, and design decisions that emerge from the results of the material experiments and testing. The work produced by my students and myself seeks to challenge digital technology and fabrication to further the relationship of material to machine and material to design. With the intent to develop and employ novel software techniques that aid in the translation from the virtual world to the physical medias we engage through craft and technology to hybridize design and making. The work presented varies in scale, technique, method, intent, and fabrication processes but is fascinated with thinking though material based computational design strategies.
Prototyping the Organic: AI in design work-flows for complex forms inspired by nature

Published: November 2022

The conception of a new design or building is arguably the most creative stage of a project and one that can be most influenced by inspiration from the world around us. AI algorithms are being increasing implemented to generate inspirational and creative images, however the extent in which this can be further used to create workable designs is always in question. This paper explores how these algorithms can go beyond creating provoking images to be implemented in a wholesome design workflow that allows non-technical users to configure and output rationalised organic forms rapidly for concept development.

Synchronous dual primary cancers have been reported in the past while majority of these are sporadic only few are hereditary. There have been a couple of case reports of synchronous primary ovarian cancer and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and the first reported case was in 1988 by Myoga et al. Currently there is no clear explanation about synchronous RCC and ovarian cancers but steroid hormones & its receptors are thought to play a role. It is important for the clinician and the pathologist to rule out the possibility of metastatic deposits for the better management of the disease. Here we report a rare presentation of dual synchronous primaries of Clear cell RCC and High grade serous ovarian cancer in a 48year old female.

Bronchogenic carcinoma is a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Of lung cancer cases overall, 50% have metastasis at presentation, mostly to the brain, bone, liver, the adrenal glands ,thoracic cavity and non-regional lymph nodes .This case report presents a female patient with three rare sites of lung cancer metastasis: breast, colon, and skin. Her initial presentation was a several-month history of a mass in the left breast and in the upper abdominal wall, dyspepsia, weight loss, and intermittent per rectal bleeding. Diagnosis of this case was difficult because of the challenge to differentiate between primary breast cancer and metastasis. However, the diagnosis was made by the interpretation of images and immunohistochemistry.

Introduction: Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare urological lesion, benign in nature, and composed of a variable mixture of mature adipose and hematopoietic elements. The true incidence of these tumours is not well known. Despite their benign biology, these lesions can be a cause of dilemma for a urologist; we describe a case of incidental diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma in a patient who presented with upper abdominal pain and reviews the literature on its aetiology, diagnosis, and management. Finally, the optimal treatment for myelolipoma depends on the size and symptoms of the mass and the needs of the patient. Case Report: Here we present a case of a 60-year-old female who presented with chronic left-sided flank pain and right upper abdomen that had been worsening over the past three weeks. Conclusion: Myelolipoma is a rare, non-functional, benign tumour. Patients having high blood pressure don't respond well to antihypertensive. They respond effectively to the medication after the removal of the tumour. So we recommend that all patients with myelolipoma not responding well to non-surgical management should plan for surgery for a better outcome.
Using an agent-based model to identify high probability search areas for search and rescue

Published: November 2022

Thousands of people become lost in the wilderness each year and search and rescue personnel are called in to search for and to locate people who are lost. Time is critical as the lost person's chance of survival decreases over time. One method of improving search outcomes is efficient and accurate planning of search areas. Search and rescue planning techniques have been developed over time through extensive training, experience and knowledge. To expedite the search area planning process, an agent-based model (ABM) was used to highlight probabilistic and evidence-based areas typically considered by search area planners. This model takes spatial data calculated to a time-cost raster and incorporates lost person characteristics to determine location-specific probability data that can be used in decision-making.

Authors: MH Garba , HA Makun , LM Hadiza , AA Jigam , PB Njobeh
Published: November 2022

The study area (Sahel savannah zone of Nigeria) was delineated into five sampling districts, which were further delineated into three localities from where raw and processed sorghum based products were collected. Sorghum based products such as gruel, pap and chincoins “dambu”were sampled using a quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Anthropological measurements of volunteer subjects along with the quantity of food consumed by the respondents was recorded. The mycotoxin concentration in both raw and processed sorghum products was determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC/MS). The determined mycotoxins concetrations in both the raw and processed samples were further used to determine the amount of mycotoxins consumed by respondents in different age groups. Aflatoxin induced Hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) in was subsequently determined in communities (within the zone) that subsist on such products. Cumulative average daily consumption of sorghum based products was found to be 192.5±8.32g/day, 617.0±16.45g/day, 810.2±23.24g/day and 746.1±21.02g/day for the infants, children, adults and elderly respectively. A significant difference (P = 0.05) exists between the mycotoxins concentration in raw and the processed sorghum-derived products in the study area. Despite the processing methods employed, the values for PTDI and TDI for mycotoxins, were found to be far above the limits sets by the regulatory bodies. The predictive incidence of HCC and the burden aflatoxin induced HCC in the HbsAg+was found to be 479.9/100000, 30.0/100000, 28.8/100000, 172.2/100000 in the infants, children, youth and the elderly respectively.

More than 780 million people are chronically undernourished worldwide despite the fact that there is adequate food for everyone. Unfortunately, over 40% of Nigerians live in food insecure homes, and the country has the greatest rate of undernourishment out of West Africa. Kolanut selling households have also received minimal attention with regard to food security. This study, therefore, sought to access the linkage between food security status and Kolanut marketing households in Ondo State, Nigeria. A total of 120 Kolanut marketing households were randomly selected and data were collected using pretested semi-structured questionnaires. Specifically, we estimated the costs and returns to Kolanut marketing, food security status of Kolanut marketing households and the determinants of food security status. These objectives were analyzed using marketing margin analysis, food security index, logistic regression and Likert scale were used. It was reported that the net marketing margin received annually was N2,781.33/ha. Also, each dollar invested resulted in a profit for the marketers of 34.92 percent. Additionally, it was discovered that the majority (55.83%) of Kolanut marketing households had food insecurity, using 2260 Kcal/Adult Equivalent as a measure. Additionally, a logistic regression analysis showed that the household size of Kolanut marketing households in the research area had a negative impact on their level of food security. Poor road conditions, expensive transportation, limited access to market information, and inadequate financing facilities were the main obstacles for the households. Therefore, we urge the creation of educational programs on birth control methods that can actually reduce excessive family sizes.

The Relationship Between Classical Music Therapy and Heart Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Chivakula Maya , Dao Kimberly
Published: November 2022

Music has long been perceived as a healing agent for various ailments (UW Health, 2019). Music therapy is the use of musical interventions to accomplish personalized goals, often related to healthcare (American Music Therapy Association, 2005). It has proven to have positive effects on many conditions, such as helping stroke survivors or altering brain chemistry (Harvard Health Publishing, 2021). Music has also shown promising benefits with regard to the heart. Heart disease was responsible for every 1 in 5 deaths in the United States as of 2020 and is the primary cause of death for many groups within the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2022.). Thus, it’s imperative to explore various methods of cardiac treatment as it’s clear that heart disease is a highly threatening and widespread condition. This paper is a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that focus on classical music as the specific music intervention being used and its impact on heart disease. These studies found that classical music reduces blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety. Classical music is also an accessible, safe, and affordable intervention that has been shown to improve heart health. This approach should be considered more often as an adjunct to standard heart disease care.

Double impact: can our health care system deal with a terrorist attack during the COVID pandemic? Health care organizations have been challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic since the first half of 2020. Both hospitals (especially emergency and intensive care departments) and ambulance services were overwhelmed by surging patient numbers during the 2 pandemic waves in 2020. In this study, the data of the 2016 multisite terrorist bombing attacks in Zaventem (Brussels International Airport) and Maalbeek (subway) are reviewed. It is simulated what the impact of similar attacks would be on an already challenged health care system and which COVID-19-specific measures would be favourable for the outcome. The limited access of ICU beds, operating rooms and surge capacity, as well as the number of COVID-positive victims are cardinal features challenging the medical response to mass casualty incidents of this magnitude. During the COVID-19 pandemic, disaster management is affected by the limited availability of intensive care beds and operation rooms, and the faltering reverse triage negatively influencing the response capacity. On the other hand, the impact of the COVID pandemic can also be favourable. Special concerns on a COVID-19-safe response are discussed. It must be avoided that the medical response and gathering of stranded passengers would become a superspreading event. Multisite terrorist attacks during a pandemic are possibly catastrophic for a health care system which is already beyond its limit in terms of surge capacity. COVID-19-specific recommendations for disaster management in case of terrorist attacks are provided.

IMPACTO DA ASSOCIAÇÃO ENTRE VITAMINA D E DENSIDADE MAMÁRIA NA REDUÇÃO DO RISCO DE CÂNCER DE MAMA
Authors: Nóbrega Batista Maria Stefania , Carneiro Lara Moreira Mendes
Published: November 2022

Considerando o aumento do número de casos de câncer, em especial do câncer de mama, fica evidente a necessidade de identificar fatores de risco modificáveis da doença. Estudos relataram uma associação inversa entre o status de vitamina D e o risco de câncer de mama através da redução da densidade mamográfica, um conhecido fator de risco do câncer. O objetivo deste trabalho é definir se há associação entre vitamina D e densidade mamográfica e se esta associação pode reduzir o risco de câncer de mama. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com os descritores em Ciências da Saúde “Vitamin D” AND “Mammographic Density” nas seguintes bibliotecas virtuais: MEDLINE, PUBMED, LILACS e SCIELO. Os estudos que avaliaram esta relação têm achados heterogêneos; uns mostram redução da densidade mamográfica nas pacientes com níveis séricos normais de vitamina D, e outros, não. Contudo, a dosagem insuficiente de vitamina D não deve ser desconsiderada, especialmente devido seu efeito comprovadamente importante na formação óssea e homeostase do cálcio.

Published: November 2022

El principal objetivo de este artículo es analizar algunos hechos estilizados de la trayectoria de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, y con base en ello construir algunos escenarios prospectivos para México que ilustran la urgencia, la magnitud, los riesgos, las posibilidades y las limitaciones del esfuerzo de mitigación requerido para alcanzar la meta de una economía carbono neutral entre 2050-2070. La construcción de estos escenarios se basa en los modelos IPAT y STIRPAT. Los principales resultados indican que las emisiones de energía (CO2eet) están estrechamente asociadas a la evolución del producto interno bruto (PIBt), del PIBT per cápita, de la población y del consumo de energía, y que el actual proceso de desacoplamiento en la trayectoria de las emisiones de CO2eet provenientes de sus principales variables determinantes es insuficiente para cumplir la meta de una economía carbono neutral para 2050-2070. A fin de alcanzar la meta de una economía carbono neutral entre 2050-2070 es necesario realizar transformaciones estructurales con urgencia y de una gran magnitud, que se reflejen en intensos procesos de reducción de las razones de consumo de energía a PIBt y de emisiones de CO2et a consumo de energía. La actual trayectoria de la economía mexicana donde se posponen los procesos de mitigación conduce a una trayectoria de encadenamiento que reduce la credibilidad del cumplimiento de las metas de descarbonización profunda y está aumentando los riesgos de una transición climática justa.

Published: November 2022

Introduction

In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of miRNA-21 and the regulating pathway that promotes the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).

Material and methods

We used miR-21-OE, miR-21-KD, ajuba-OE and ajuba-KD plasmids to infect BMSCs. The expression of miRNA-21, ajuba, Isl1 and cTnI was detected by RT-qPCR, WB and immunofluorescence staining in groups.

Results

MiRNA-21 over-expression increased the expression of Isl1, and vice versa. Ajuba over-expression decreased the expression of Isl1, and vice versa. Ajuba negatively regulated the differentiation of BMSCs into cardiomyocyte-like cells.

Conclusions

MiRNA-21 could regulate differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to cardiomyocyte-like cells through the ajuba/Isl1 axis pathway.

Comercio electrónico en las micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas de la capital colombiana: una búsqueda de estrategias para enfrentar la crisis generada por la covid-19
Authors: Arango Lozano Carlos Andrés
Published: November 2022

Este trabajo propone un entendimiento del porqué la implementación del comercio electrónico en las MiPyMes de Bogotá no es una prioridad, situación que se evidenció en el marco de la pandemia de la covid-19. Para lograrlo, se implementaron dos encuestas estructuradas, realizadas en fechas diferentes en el marco de la pandemia, buscando indagar sobre el uso de internet en relación con el comercio electrónico en tiempos de confinamiento de los ciudadanos bogotanos. También se hicieron entrevistas a actores relevantes para la temática, que expusieron un contexto de la situación: un empresario MiPyMe, la subdirectora de la Asociación Colombiana de las Micro, Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas, y la especialista regional en merchandising web de Sony Latinoamérica. Como complemento se hizo una revisión de informes consolidados, de distintas entidades colombianas que ofrecen periódicamente datos, en los cuales se reconoce el comportamiento de consumo en Colombia, como el uso del comercio electrónico en este país. Al final, se evidenció que la situación que tuvieron que enfrentar los pequeños comerciantes derivada de la emergencia sanitaria fue muy compleja, al no estar preparados y no tener claro que el comercio electrónico pudo ser un plan de contingencia ante el cierre obligatorio de sus negocios.

Employee retention strategies in the context of organisational change ar a selected private health care provider in Durban, Kwa-Zulu Natal
Authors:   , Kisten Asthera
Published: November 2022

The aim of the study was to investigate employee retention strategies in the context of organisational change at a selected private healthcare provider in Durban, KwaZulu Natal. The main problem revolved around poor employee retention, coupled with the many organisational changes taking place in the organisation over the last five years. This has to some degree affected service delivery at the healthcare provider. The study adopted a quantitative research design and pre-coded structured closedended questionnaires were administered to the target population. There are 500 employees at the private healthcare provider and the sample size for the research was 260. A survey method was utilised. The response rate of completed surveys received was 96% using the personal method of data collection. The responses were captured and the data was analysed utilising the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0 for Windows. Numerous hypotheses were formulated and tested using Pearson’s Chi-square and Spearman’s rank order co-efficient. The key findings indicated that organisational changes had an impact on employee retention, which contributed to the effectiveness of service delivery at the private healthcare provider.

Background: Poor involvement of male partners in maternal health issues has been identified as one of the major contributors of high maternal mortality in developing countries. Women from diverse socio-cultural background have varying opinions on the level of involvement of their male partners in their reproductive health matters. This study assessed the attitude of pregnant women towards the involvement of their male partners in birth preparedness and complication readiness (BPCR) in selected rural communities of Sokoto state, northwest Nigeria. Materials and method: A cross-sectional study design was used to study 268 pregnant women who were selected from two rural communities via a multistage sampling technique. Data was collected using structured questionnaires and was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23. Results: Mean age of respondents was 26.45 ±6.29 years; majority [202(75.4%)] were of the Hausa ethnic group and only 39(14.6%) had formal education. Up to 178(66.4%) of the women agreed it is important for men to prepare for childbirth, 180(67.2%) agreed male partners should make joint decision with wife on matters concerning pregnancy; however, less than half [116(43.4%)] agreed it is important for women to deliver in the hospital and 35.4% believed it is not important for men to accompany wives to hospital for delivery. Overall, 173(65%) had positive attitude towards husbands' involvement in BPCR and the major influencing factors were literacy, knowledge of danger signs and BPCR (p<0.001) Conclusion/Recommendations: Though up to two-thirds of the respondents had positive attitude, a significant proportion expressed negative attitude towards some male involvement practices.

Background: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD), encompassing gastric and duodenal ulcers is the most prevalent gastrointestinal disorder. The pathophysiology of PUD involves an imbalance between offensive factors like acid, pepsin and defensive factors such as nitric oxide and growth factors. The clinical evaluation of antiulcer drugs showed tolerance, incidence of relapses and side effects that make their efficacy arguable. Local folklore claims showed that Date (Phoenix Dactylifera L.) has a gastric beneficial role in humans. This study was therefore carried out to examine the effects of Dates on stimulated gastric acid secretion (GAS) in the Wister rats. Materials/Methods: Three groups of rats consisting of 5 rats (180- 200g) each were treated with aqueous undialyzed extract of Dates (1.5mg/kg, 2.5mg/kg and 4.0mg/kg) orally for 21 days, while the fourth group were given distilled water for the same number of days. At the last day of the treatment, the rats were fasted for 24 hours, anaesthetized with ketamine. GAS (mEq/l) induced by histamine, carbachol and pentagastrin administration was assessed by continuous perfusion technique. Data were analyzed using student's T-test and ANOVA at p≤ 0.05. Results: The aqueous extract of undialyzed Dates significantly decreased (p≤ 0.05) GAS induced by the histamine, carbachol and pentagastrin in a dose-dependent manner over 80 minutes period in all the treated groups. Conclusion: Date extract exhibited a graded dose-dependent decrease in gastric acid secretion. Keywords: Date, Gastric, Pentagastrin, Histamine and Carbachol
