Banana is the most cultivated crop in Colombia. It is the most important crop with respect to food security in addition to forming part of the group of Colombian food staples. In a worldwide context, Colombia ranks fifth in banana production even though in 2018 and 2019, Colombia registered drops in planted areas and production, respectively, due to adverse weather conditions. Plantain crops are currently being affected by the vascular disease called Moko, caused by the Ralstoniasolanacearum bacterium, which leads to a significant reduction in the cultivated area and for which there is no effective type of control. The main source of infection in disease-free areas is the propagule so that in vitro propagation turns out to be a viable and feasible alternative for producing certified quality plantain seeds. This manuscript presents the main problems encountered in the micropropagation of AAB triploid bananas by in vitro culture, factors that influence direct organogenesis, and alternative solutions to different conditions that can affect the process. This review will serve as a starting point for establishing reliable propagation protocols for different varieties of plantain in Colombia.

In type 2 diabetes, abnormalities of lipid metabolism and tissue distribution are common and associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this work was to study the relationship between the impedancemetric parameters and the lipid profile in a population of type 2 diabetics followed in the Endocrinology Department MED VI of Marrakech. Body fat was assessed using a body composition analyzer. Serum triglyceride, total cholesterol and low and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (LDL-c and HDL-c) were determined by standard enzymatic procedures. Relationships between age, impedancemetric parameters with several metabolic elements including serum lipid levels and HBA1c were analyzed in both sexes separately. The correlation of the lipid profile was higher with body fat compared to the Body Mass Index(BMI): LDL-C r = 0.32 vs 0.26, HDL-C r = -0.46 vs -0.43, total cholesterol r = 0.15 vs r = 0.08. To sum up, in light of our study, compared to BMI, body fat measured by impedancemetry more accurately reflects the lipid profile in type 2 diabetics.

Islamic teachings explained us everything related to our lives in the light of Quran and Sunnah. Some of them are specified for Muslim women like feeding baby, abortion, Iddah and veiling etc. Veil is the most important part for Muslim women in their lives. It protects them from bad eyes and stays them away from sins. There are many terms used for veiling like Hijab, Jilbab that are identical to the meaning of veil.Hijab is a test for the Muslim woman. It is clear from the Quran and the Hadiths that hijab is a religious obligation, which a woman has to undertake. There is no scholarly difference on this point and the Muslim Ummah has applied it for over 14 centuries. When a Muslim woman wears hijab, she is obeying and submitting to Allah. A woman who wears hijab liberates herself from the vain and selfish desire to show off her beauty and to compete with other women around her. In the Quran, the term hijab refers to a partition or curtain in the literal or metaphorical sense. The verse where it is used literally is commonly understood to refer to the curtain separating visitors to Muhammads(Ã¯Â·Âº) house from his wives lodgings. This leads Muslim women that hijab is mandatory and to wear hijab is applied to every Muslim woman as many quranic verses denote on it. Muslim woman should cover her all body with curtain when she goes outside of the house as well as cover her face from unknown person whereas it is allowed to her to show her face, hands and legs to her relatives.In this article, the researcher conducted the research in the term of Islamic teachings of veiling and hijab for Muslim women in the light of Surah Ahzab and analyzed six verses of the concerned surah that described veiling. The researcher explained everything with some hadiths and some books and references. This article especially helps those women who are totally confused about face and body hijab as well as those who dont accept hijab as the sharia verdict of Allah and His prophet Ã¯Â·Âº. This also helps those students who are newly doing research on hijab and veil. In fact, this article is very informative at all.

Objectives: Ever since the World Health Organization announced COVID 19 infection a pandemic, continuous spread of the virus has affected all over the world. An understanding of the pathophysiology of this disease is necessary for its effective treatment. Laboratory investigations play an important role in the diagnosis as well as management of this infectious disease. Hematological parameters demonstrate alterations during the progression of COVIDâ€‘19 infection. Some are indicative of extremely poor clinical outcome. Hematological findings like leukopenia, lymphocytopenia, thrombocytopenia and coagulationâ€‘related abnormalities are the most common manifestations. The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of alteration in hematological parameters with emphasis on total leukocyte count, absolute lymphocyte count and platelet count in COVID 19 positive patients. Material and methods:Patients suffering from COVIDâ€‘19 were categorized into two groups: Group I and Group II on the basis of severity of disease. Various hematological parameters of these patients such as neutrophil counts and white blood cell counts, dâ€‘dimer levels, hemoglobin levels, fibrinogen and platelet counts were assessed. Results: Normal white blood cell and increased neutrophil count among COVIDâ€‘19 infected patients were seen. However, median values in Group II (P < 0.01) were found to show significantly higher values when compared to Group I. A significant (P < 0.01) decrease in lymphocytic counts and hemoglobin level were found among Group II patients. Platelet counts were in normal range in all COVIDâ€‘19 patients. Routine coagulation tests revealed increased fibrinogen (P < 0.01) and dâ€‘dimer levels (P < 0.0001) in severe and critical patients. Conclusion: Analysis of hematological parameters in COVIDâ€‘19 patients may help in deciphering the clinical progression of patients suffering from COVIDâ€‘19 disease. Thus, regular monitoring of the hospitalized patients may help in planning better management of these cases.

Twnety-two (22) process indicators were used and data were collected using a pretested self-administered questionnaire.Sixty-percent of thepatients had a good experience for each service received was the standard. Data were presented as frequency distributions and mean with their standard deviation (SD). Informed written consent was obtained prior to the data collection. Results: Out of 60 patients who were diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 and TB co-infection, 59 were responded (response rate was 98.3%). A majority were males (n=47, 79.7%) and belonged to 41 to 60 age category (n=29, 49.2%). Ten indicators did not meet the standard. The highest experience was shown in perceived waiting time (mean 86.8, SD Â± 8.8) and the lowest experience was shown in perceived time spent with the health care provider (mean 57.9, SD Â± 11.8). More than half (n=31, 52.5%) of the patients reported overall good experiences on treatment services. However, age and gender did not show any significant relationship with the good experience of treatment services received (p>0.05). Conclusion: This audit shows the marginally good experience of treatment services received, but highlight areas such as time to discuss with the doctor, instructions on treatment given by the doctor and information given on available services on continuation of TB treatment are needed much improvement even in the pandemic situation.

Introduction : Le reflux gastro-oesophagien (RGO) est une pathologie benigne mais vu sa chronicite et ses complications a long terme, il predispose a des lesions precancereuses et altere la qualite de vie des malades. Le reflux peut atteindre la cavite buccale et affecter les dents et la muqueuse buccale. Les erosions dentaires representent le principal risque buccal du RGO. Lobjectif de notre travail est devaluer la presence et la severite des manifestations bucco-dentaires chez des patients atteints de RGO. Materiels et methodes : Dans le cadre dune etude prospective, 30 sujets atteints de la maladie de RGO, et 30 patients sont indemnes consultant au sein du service de Gastro-Enterologie de lHÃƒÂƒÃ‚ÂƒÃƒÂ‚Ã‚ÂƒÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â‚ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â´pital Militaire Mohammed V de Rabat, ont ete examines pour evaluer leur etat bucco-dentaire. Ces patients ont ete examines en se basant sur un questionnaire. Chaque sujet a ete interroge sur son statut sociodemographique, le questionnaire inclut egalement des questions permettant de savoir des renseignements concernant la maladie du reflux gastro-ÃƒÂƒÃ‚ÂƒÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â…ÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â‚ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â“sophagien et de determiner les habitudes dhygiene bucco-dentaire. Un examen dentaire a permis devaluer la presence ou non des usures dentaires et des lesions muqueuses, et de mesurer le pH-salivaire. Resultats : Dapres notre etude, les resultats montrent quil y a une association significative entre les patients suivi pour RGO et la presence des erosions dentaires (p<0,001). Elle a montre aussi que la gravite de lerosion dentaire, est liee a plusieurs facteurs tels que : la presence de RGO pathologique et la presence de complications de RGO. Conclusion : Il apparait que tout sujet atteint de la maladie de RGO peut avoir des erosions dentaires.
Adaptive feature selection method with FF-FC-MIC for the detection of mutual faults in rotating machinery

Published: April 2022

In the coupling state of rotor unbalance fault and bearing defect fault for rotor system, the signals contain multiple fault components, and the fault diagnosis of the rotor system needs to contain comprehensive multidimensional feature quantities. However, irrelevant feature information in the multi-dimensional feature quantities increases the complexity of classification calculation and affects the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis. In order to eliminate redundant and irrelevant features in the feature information, and achieve the goal of fewer diagnostic features and good diagnostic results, this paper proposes an adaptive feature selection based on the maximum information coefficient FF-FC-MIC (Feature-to-Feature and Feature-to-Category Maximum Information Coefficient) method. Firstly, the sparse representation algorithm is used to reconstruct the original signal to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, and the multi-dimensional feature quantity of the reconstructed signal is calculated; Secondly, calculate the correlation between features and features through MIC to obtain a feature set of weak correlation between features; thirdly, use MIC to calculate the correlation between features and signal categories to obtain a feature set with strong correlation between features and signals; Finally, the FF-FC-MIC feature selection method is used for feature adaptive selection and input into SVM to complete fault diagnosis. The method is analyzed by simulation signals and the real experiment signals. The results show that the method can effectively remove redundant and disclosed features in the coupling fault, reducing the characteristic dimension to reduce the fault classification time, and improve classification accuracy. Different experimental cases and various feature selection comparison methods further verify the accuracy and applicability of the proposed method.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Life Space Assessment (LSA) in older adults.

Methods: A hundred fifty-two elderly people with a mean age was 72.81±7.63 years recruited to the study. Following the forward-backward translation procedure, the LSA scores were compared with a number of mobility and general health related variables, including the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) to test the concurrent validity.

Results: None of the items in the LSA were changed. Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.714 for the initial evaluation. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the test-retest reliability was 0.991 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.986–0.994. It found that the highest consistence was obtained in the equipment scores. All the subscores of LSA found to have a significant relationship with PASE scores and SF-36 subscores. A very strong positive correlation found between the total score of LSA and PASE (r = 0.896). Similarly, a very strong correlation observed between SF-36's subscore physical function, and LSA composite score (r = 0.841). Conclusion: The results of the study showed that the Turkish version of LSA has strong measurement features and that the LSA is a sensitive tool for assessing the life domains of elderly individuals related to their general health and physical activity level. Therefore, the Turkish version of the LSA could be used as a reliable and valid scale in research and practice areas related to elderly people.

The MSME support movement in Indonesia is welcomed by business people, especially for young entrepreneurs or the home industry, which continues to grow rapidly and independently. At the beginning of 2020, the Covid-19 outbreak that occurred globally in almost all parts of the world, including in Indonesia, had triggered negative sentiment towards various lines of business, especially the MSME business. The negative impact due to Covid-19 has hampered the growth of the MSME business where the movement of MSME businesses that require showrooms or promotions is hindered. In reorganizing the weakening economic conditions of MSMEs or the Covid recession, it is necessary to manage the business cycle in a Management Busines Cycle, considering that the business environment is very dynamic, so that the business cycle must always be evaluated and improved so that the business can survive and develop. The concept of OODA loop is the concept of iterative analysis to determine the decision of a problem. OODA stands for Observe, Orien, Decide and Act. The term circle or loop because in this concept all processes are repeated until the decisions taken are effective and able to have a significant impact in dealing with problems.
