Published: January 2019

Text localisation determines the location of the text in an image. This process is performed prior to text recognition. Localising text on shop signage is a challenging task since the images of the shop signage consist of complex background, and the text occurs in various font types, sizes, and colours. Two popular texture features that have been applied to localise text in scene images are a histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) and speeded up robust features (SURF). A comparative study is conducted in this paper to determine which is better with support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The performance of SVM is influenced by its kernel function and another comparative study is conducted to identify the best kernel function. The experiments have been conducted using primary data collected by the authors. Results indicate that HOG with quadratic kernel function localises text for shop signage better than SURF.

A disponibilidade de recursos naturais limita o crescimento populacional e seu desenvolvimento. O uso e manejo inadequado provenientes das ações antrópicas refletem negativamente na disponibilidade desses recursos e na qualidade ambiental. Através da gestão ambiental é possível administrar a sua utilização de maneira sustentável, favorecendo tanto o crescimento econômico quanto a conservação dos recursos naturais. O uso de geotecnologias torna a gestão ambiental mais eficaz e eficiente, subsidiando-a com bases de dados espaciais que permitem avaliar o potencial ambiental e identificar possíveis conflitos no aproveitamento desse potencial quanto à utilização dos recursos naturais. Nos últimos anos a utilização do sensoriamento remoto e técnicas de geoprocessamento têm sido efetivas, principalmente no monitoramento ambiental do Brasil, possibilitando diagnósticos de áreas de difícil acesso por meio de transportes e de acordo com a resolução temporal dos satélites pode-se realizar um monitoramento satisfatório destas áreas mais restritas. O presente artigo objetiva propor uma gestão dos recursos naturais do Maranhão através do uso de dados espaciais. Buscando-se identificar e analisar ações de gestão ambiental aplicadas ao território maranhense. Para o estudo, utilizaram-se dados referentes a geotecnologias com o intuito de reconhecer as áreas prioritárias para conservação e a disposição hidrográfica. Foram feitas análises a partir da construção de mapas resultantes do Macrozoneamento Econômico Ecológico do Maranhão (macroZEE-MA). Obtiveram-se como resultados dados vetores e imagens que apontam que é possível realizar uma gestão ambiental capaz de assegurar sustentavelmente o maior aproveitamento do potencial ambiental nas suas possíveis destinações de uso junto à qualidade do meio.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Geotecnologias; Macrozoneamento; Recursos Naturais.

A exposição ambiental aos fungicidas agrícolas abre caminho para a seleção e multiplicação de fungos resistentes a esses compostos. Contudo, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a resistência cruzada entre agrotóxicos e antifúngicos clínicos contra Cryptococcus neoformans. Foram determinadas a concentração inibitória mínima (CIM) para os agrotóxicos epoxiconazol e para o carbendazim, e para os antifúngicos fluconazol e anfotericina B pelo teste de microdiluição antifúngica frente a um isolado clínico de Cryptococcus neoformans, antes e após o contato com os fungicidas agrícolas. O fluconazol foi diluído em água, o Epoxiconazol e o Carbendazim foram diluídos em DMSO na concentração de 1500 µg/mL. A Anfotericina B foi diluída em DMSO na concentração de 1000 µg/mL. As placas foram incubadas a 35ºC por 72 horas e a CIM foi determinada visualmente como 100% de inibição do crescimento. Antes do contato com os agrotóxicos, foram observadas altas concentrações inibitórias mínimas para o carbendazim (64μg/mL), enquanto as CIM da anfotericina B (2 μg/mL), do fluconazol (0,5 μg/mL) e do epoxiconazol (0,25 μg/mL) frente a C. neoformans foram menores. No entanto, após o contato com os agrotóxicos, a CIM para fluconazol aumentou 4 vezes (8 μg/mL) e para a anfotericina B aumentou 3 vezes (16 μg/mL). Os resultados do nosso estudo puderam comprovar que há a possibilidade de resistência cruzada entre fungicidas agrícolas e os principais antifúngicos de uso clínico e pode ser uma das hipóteses da resistência primária que vem sendo observada durante o tratamento da criptococose. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Cryptococcus; agrotóxicos; resistência; antifúngicos.

Published: January 2019

Hoje a palavra de ordem é Qualidade, procura-se ou se exige de tudo e de todos qualidade. No ambiente universitário se preocupa muito com a qualidade das pesquisa desenvolvidas nos diversos cursos de graduação, pós-graduação e nos laboratórios. Não é à toa que o Ministério de Educação e Cultura (MEC) tem criado critérios mais exigentes no credenciamento e recrediamento de Universidades.Uma outra qualidade bastante investigada é a qualidade de vida, segundo a OMS, a definição de qualidade de vida é a “a percepção que um indivíduo tem sobre a sua posição na vida, dentro do contexto dos sistemas de cultura e valores nos quais está inserido e em relação aos seus objectivos, expectativas, padrões e preocupações”. Trata-se de uma definição que contempla a influência da saúde física e psicológica, nível de independência, relações sociais, crenças pessoais e das suas relações com características inerentes ao respetivo meio na avaliação subjectiva da qualidade de vida individual. Neste sentido, poderemos afirmar que a qualidade de vida é definida como a “satisfação do indivíduo no que diz respeito à sua vida quotidiana”.Por isso que dos 11 artigos do O primeiro fascículo do volume 10 da Revista de Investigação Biomédica (RIB), contém seis que estão avaliado qualidade de vida de certos grupos vulneráveis de pacientes, idosos ou com neoplasia ou a qualidade dos serviços oferecidos numa emergência. No atual fascículo de 2018 sete artigos originais abordaram os seguintes temas:Avaliação da autonomia funcional em idosos comunitáriosRisco de quedas pela fragilidade em idosos comunitários praticantes de atividade físicaAvaliação do nível de satisfação dos pacientes atendidos pela fisioterapia na Unidade de Saúde da Família do PiraporaQualidade de vida em mulheres mastectomizadasQualidade de vida em pacientes submetidos ao tratamento quimioterápicoPerfil dos pacientes amputados por acidentes automobilísticosEfeitos do uso de um programa cinesioterapêutico na força de preensão manual de idosas E há também três artigos de revisão, cujos temas abordados são:Atendimento e gestão como indicador de qualidade no serviço de emergência: revisão de literatura Pneumonia bacteriana: aspectos epidemiológicos, fisiopatologia e avanços no diagnósticoNovas abordagens experimentais para o combate de infecções causadas por Staphylococcus aureus. E um relato de caso sobre o uso de laminados cerâmicos em paciente com manchamento por tetraciclina. Confiante na qualidade das pesquisas aqui impressas toda a equipe da RIB  deseja a todos os leitores essas boas leituras abram mais as vossas mentes para a realidade, como já dizia o próprio Albert Einstein. Prof. Silvio Gomes MonteiroEditor-Chefe

Investigations into Sampling Approaches for Chemical Analysis of Latent Fingermark Residue
Authors: Dorakumbura Buddhika , Busetti Francesco , Lewis Simon W.
Published: January 2019

The quantitative variation in latent fingermark deposits sampled from the same donor (intra-donor) poses considerable challenges to studies into the chemical composition of latent fingermarks. The work presented here investigates approaches to the sampling of latent fingermark residues within this context. The amount of squalene in fingermarks deposited on non-porous surfaces, determined by GC-MS, was used as an indicator of the amount of non-polar material present. It was found that the percentage difference of squalene between deposits from two hands at a given time, without controlling the deposition pressure, was in the range of 4-100 %. This was reduced to 0-44 % in alternative sampling approaches where deposition pressure was controlled. These results demonstrate the significant influence of sampling on subsequent chemical analysis of fingermark residues, and offer possible sampling strategies to overcome issues associated with intra-donor variation.

Authors: Ibrahimova A. A. , Bayramov N. Yu. , Rustam A. M.
Published: January 2019

Objective. To study up a connection between indices of the functional hepatic tests and  the body mass index (BMI) in patients after the operation.

Маterials and methods. In 59 оperated patients a BMI was calculated, as well as biochemical hepatic tests: activity of alaninaminotransferase (AlAT) in the blood serum, aspartataminotransferase (АsAТ), γ-glutamintransferase (γ-GТ) and a general bilirubin content. Basing on the BMI indices, all the patients were divided into three groups. Into Group I 30 patients were included with BMI 18.5 - 24.9 kg/m2, into Group II - 20 patients with excessive body mass, the BMI values 25.0 - 29.9 9 kg/m2, and into Group III - 9 patients with obesity, the BMI values more than 30 9 kg/m2. The blood serum activity of AlAT, AsAT, γ-GТ, alkaline phosphatase, indices of bilirubin, international normalized ratio and C-reactive protein were determined in accordnce to standard mrthods. In all the patients the data of hepatic function testing were analyzed before the operation and in 1, 3, 5 days after the operation.

Results. In Groups I and II the values of АlAТ, АsAТ and γ-GТ were in borders of normal range. The changes were observed on the first and third postoperative day in Group III.

Average activity (±SD) of the blood serum АlaТ and АsAТ in Group I have constituted (25.7 ± 9.8) and (24.9 ± 7.8) U/L (p < 0.01), in Group II - (32.5 ± 9.1) and (25.2 ± 7.1) U/L (p < 0.01), in Group III - (46.2 ± 13.5) and (31.9 ± 10.6) U/L (p < 0.01).

Conclusion. In high BMI in patients, who had hepatic fatty degeneration, a hepatic enzymes activity was raised significantly, comparing with patients who had not hepatic fatty degeneration. Raised activity of hepatic enzymes in the blood serum was connected with high BMI. That’s why a high rate of hepatic fatty degeneration is observed in patients with raised BMI.

PROSPECTS FOR THE USE OF FESTULOLIUM IN FODDER PRODUCTION OF SIBERIA
Authors: Kashevarov N. I. , Sadokhina T. A.
Published: January 2019

The urgency of introduction of a new fodder crop, Festulolium, into the agricultural production of Western Siberia is substantiated. Festulolium (Festulolium Aschers F.. et Graebn.) is a new fodder crop in domestic feed production developed in the All Russian Williams Fodder Research Institute. It was obtained by hybridization with the genera Festuca – fescue, and Lolium – ryegrass. The external characteristics of the new crop are given. On the basis of the literature data, the main morphotypes of Festulolium are analyzed and identified. They are the morphotypes of Italian ryegrass, pasture ryegrass, reed fescue and meadow fescue. Fescueryegrass hybrid (Festulolium) is currently a valuable fodder crop, which, when harvested for feed in the early phases of vegetation, is characterized by a high content of exchange energy, protein and fat in the green mass. Good leafiness of this crop ensures high nutritional value of the feed. In 1 kg of dry matter, Festulolium contains 0.82 feed units, 12-18% crude protein, as well as all the necessary amino acids. Water-soluble carbohydrates are mainly fructose. High efficiency of cultivated pastures on the basis of Festulolium is noted. Festulolium in mixtures with red clover provides up to 7.2 t/ha of dry matter and the collection of protein up to 1.27 t/ha. For early green feed in the pasture conveyor system, the use of Festulolium also proved to be effective. Festulolium is well ensilaged, the feed from this crop can be successfully used in diets of all animal groups. The energy value of properly prepared feed from Festulolium is 10.1 to 10.7 MJ of metabolizable energy in 1 kg of dry matter. Feed prepared from Festulolium has a high coefficient of digestibility.
EXOCRINE PANCREATIC FUNCTION IN CHICKENS AS A RESULT OF ADDING FEED ACIDIFIERS IN THEIR DIET
Authors: Vertiprakhov V. G. , Grozina A. A.
Published: January 2019

Feed acidifiers are used in animal diets for the prevention of proliferation of intestinal pathogenic microorganisms and resulting gastrointestinal digestive disorders. These additives, containing organic acids, have also been found to improve productivity and feed efficiency in poultry. There is information about correlation between digestive enzymes’ activity and intestinal microbiota of meattype chickens. However, the exact mechanism of the beneficial impact of organic acids on the digestion system still remains understudied. The paper presents the results of experiments conducted on Hisex White chicken with chronic fistulae of the main pancreatic duct, fed on a diet supplemented with an acidifier containing 2-furoic acid. No significant effect of this acidifier was found on the digestive pancreatic function. The dynamics analysis showed that the chickens’ secretion rate of pancreatic juice after postprandial 30 minutes dropped by over two times in the testing period when using acidifiers in their diet. After 150 minutes this rate was lower by 27.3% compared to the control group, which corresponds the neurochemical phase of secretory regulation. Analysis of enzyme dynamics (amylase, lipase and protease) showed a slight increase in the activity of proteases in pancreatic juice (by 1.2- 12.4%), compared to the control group, in the phase of complex-reflex regulation of pancreatic secretory activity related to the recognition of the taste qualities of the feed. Feed conversion ratio in the test group of broiler chickens increased by 1.52% when using acidifiers in the diet. The result of the study showed that the use of acidifiers has a beneficial effect on chickens’ gastrointestinal digestion as well as an inhibitive action on intestinal pathogens.
Whole genome sequencing–based analysis of tuberculosis (TB) in migrants: rapid tools for cross-border surveillance and to distinguish between recent transmission in the host country and new importations

Published: January 2019

Background

The analysis of transmission of tuberculosis (TB) is challenging in areas with a large migrant population. Standard genotyping may fail to differentiate transmission within the host country from new importations, which is key from an epidemiological perspective.

Aim

To propose a new strategy to simplify and optimise cross-border surveillance of tuberculosis and to distinguish between recent transmission in the host country and new importations

Methods

We selected 10 clusters, defined by 24-locus mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR), from a population in Spain rich in migrants from eastern Europe, north Africa and west Africa and reanalysed 66 isolates by whole-genome sequencing (WGS). A multiplex-allele-specific PCR was designed to target strain-specific marker single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), identified from WGS data, to optimise the surveillance of the most complex cluster.

Results

In five of 10 clusters not all isolates showed the short genetic distances expected for recent transmission and revealed a higher number of SNPs, thus suggesting independent importations of prevalent strains in the country of origin. In the most complex cluster, rich in Moroccan cases, a multiplex allele-specific oligonucleotide-PCR (ASO-PCR) targeting the marker SNPs for the transmission subcluster enabled us to prospectively identify new secondary cases. The ASO-PCR-based strategy was transferred and applied in Morocco, demonstrating that the strain was prevalent in the country.

Conclusion

We provide a new model for optimising the analysis of cross-border surveillance of TB transmission in the scenario of global migration.

Published: January 2019

Introduction

Water supply and air-conditioner cooling towers (ACCT) are potential sources of Legionella pneumophila infection in people. During outbreaks, traditional typing methods cannot sufficiently segregate L. pneumophila strains to reliably trace back transmissions to these artificial water systems. Moreover, because multiple L. pneumophila strains may be present within these systems, methods to adequately distinguish strains are needed. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), with their higher resolution are helpful in this respect. In summer 2017, the health administration of the city of Basel detected an increase of L. pneumophila infections compared with previous months, signalling an outbreak.

Aim

We aimed to identify L. pneumophila strains populating suspected environmental sources of the outbreak, and to assess the relations between these strains and clinical outbreak strains.

Methods

An epidemiological and WGS-based microbiological investigation was performed, involving isolates from the local water supply and two ACCTs (n = 60), clinical outbreak and non-outbreak related isolates from 2017 (n = 8) and historic isolates from 2003–2016 (n = 26).

Results

In both ACCTs, multiple strains were found. Phylogenetic analysis of the ACCT isolates showed a diversity of a few hundred allelic differences in cgMLST. Furthermore, two isolates from one ACCT showed no allelic differences to three clinical isolates from 2017. Five clinical isolates collected in the Basel area in the last decade were also identical in cgMLST to recent isolates from the two ACCTs.

Conclusion

Current outbreak-related and historic isolates were linked to ACCTs, which form a complex environmental habitat where strains are conserved over years.

Published: January 2019

Solid waste management is an old problem in urban areas.  High population growth rates have caused the increasing amount of wastes generated. One of the efforts to solve the problem is to recycle the organic wastes by composting. The purpose of this research was to find out the influence of effective inoculants PROMI and EM4 on decomposition rate and compost quality from municipal waste in Ambon. This research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) in single factor experiment using 2 effective inoculants, i.e. PROMI (no Promi = P0, 24 gr Promi/10 kg organic waste = P1, 48 gr Promi/10 kg organic waste = P2) and EM4 (no EM4 = E0, 150 ml EM4/10 kg organic waste = E1, 300 ml EM4/10 kg organic waste = E2). The treatments consisted of the 2 types of inoculants with 3 dosages of each, and 3 replications. The result showed that the addition of effective inoculant EM4 with a dosage of 300 ml per 10 kg organic waste (E2) was more effective compared to the other treatments in accelerating the decomposition rate in 28 days. This was supported by decomposition rate indicators, such as compost physical characteristics, C/N ratio (11.56), and the increased compost quality, such as pH (8.03), Nitrogen (2.91%), Phosphorus (141.33 mg per 100g P2O5), Potassium (553.67 mg per100g K2O). This compost was in accordance to Indonesia National Standard (INS) or Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) of organic manure No. 19-7030-2004.

Authors: Jacob Agustinus
Published: January 2019

Land degradation on the upper stream area in Ambon island has reduced the availability of fresh water for the peoples. An available fresh water supports only 19.14% of total population.  This research was carried out to solve the problem of water resources shortage in Ambon city which is sourced from Batugantung.  The objectives of this research were to evaluate the impact of land use changes on the income, hydrological characteristics, erosion and sedimentation in Batugantung watershed. The result of this research showed that the increasing density and coverage of vegetation can increase the sustainability of land and water resources.  The increasing vegetation density in agroforestry land use can imitate the role of forest in sustaining watershed hydrological function, decreasing runoff, controlling erosion as well as  increasing farmer’s  income.  By keeping  at least 30% forest in dusun land use management in  Batugantung watershed, it can sustain water yield about 75.66 liters.s-1, decrease erosion to 27.62 ton.year-1, and increase farmers income up to Rp. 15.64 million ha-1.year-1.   By applying  the result of this research to other watersheds in Ambon island, the availability water resources will be about 13.07 x 105 m3.day-1. This amount of water resources can fulfill present total requirement of fresh water for  380 thousand peoples in Ambon island which is only  6.08 x 104  m3.day-1.

Organic matter and inorganic fertilizer application are important to maintain the existence of potential microbes in the rhizosphere and maintain the soil quality. A greenhouse experiment has been carried out to determine the effect of  vermicompost and NPK fertilizer on total bacterial and Azotobacter  population in rhizosphere and yield of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) grown in soil order of  Inceptisols. The experimental design was a factorial randomized complete block design with three replicates were tested three doses of vermicompost (7.5, 15 and 22.5 t ha-1) and four doses of inorganic fertilizers; NPK (300; 450; 600 and 750 kg ha-1). The results showed that there was no significant interaction between vermicompost and NPK fertilizer on either total bacterial or Azotobacter population, as well as on fresh weight of lettuce. Both vermicompost and NPK fertilizer did not affect the biological parameters. However, the application of 750 kg/ha NPK fertilizer can increased lettuce weight up to 24% compared to that of control. This study suggested that in the relatively poor soil nutrients, lettuce growth was depend on inorganic fertilizers.

This article reports the consensus recommendations of a working group that was convened at the end of a four-year research project funded by the National Institutes of Health that examined 280 cases of egregious ethical violations in medical practice. The group reviewed data from the parent project, as well as other research on sexual abuse of patients, criminal prescribing of controlled substances, and unnecessary invasive procedures that were prosecuted as fraud. The working group embraced the goals of making such violations significantly less frequent and, when they do occur, identifying them sooner and taking necessary steps to ensure they are not repeated. Following review of data and previously published recommendations, the working group developed 10 recommendations that provide a starting point to meet these goals. Recommendations address leadership, oversight, tracking, disciplinary actions, education of patients, partnerships with law enforcement, further research and related matters. The working group recognized the need for further refinement of the recommendations to ensure feasibility and appropriate balance between protection of patients and fairness to physicians. While full implementation of appropriate measures will require time and study, we believe it is urgent to take visible actions to acknowledge and address the problem at hand.

Studi ini meneliti perbedaan usia dalam teori pikiran dan mengeksplorasi hubungan antara kemampuan ini, kemampuan kognitif lainnya, dan ukuran otak struktural. Sebuah kohort dari 106 orang dewasa (usia 50-90 tahun) direkrut. Peserta menyelesaikan tes teori pikiran, verbal dan kecerdasan kinerja, fungsi eksekutif, dan kecepatan pemrosesan informasi dan menjalani pencitraan resonansi magnetik struktural (pengukuran volume otak keseluruhan, volume hyperintensities materi putih, dan pencitraan tensor difusi integritas materi putih). Teori kemampuan pikiran menurun dengan bertambahnya usia, dan hubungan antara teori pikiran dan usia sepenuhnya dimediasi oleh kecerdasan kinerja, fungsi eksekutif, dan kecepatan pemrosesan informasi dan sebagian dimediasi oleh kecerdasan verbal. Teori kinerja pikiran berkorelasi secara signifikan dengan pengukuran pencitraan difusi tensor integritas zat putih tetapi tidak dengan volume hyperintensities materi putih atau volume seluruh otak. Teori penurunan yang terkait dengan usia mungkin tidak terlepas dari fungsi kognitif lainnya; itu juga mungkin sangat rentan terhadap perubahan dalam integritas zat putih. (Fleeson et al., 2017)
