Authors: Čamaj Juraj , Čarný Štefan , Šperka Adrián
Published: January 2021

Public passenger transport is presented as an opportunity to achieve future goals for establishing sustainable transportation systems. These systems are demanded from every member country of the EU for securing an ecologically friendly, fast, and reliable way of traveling in regions. Railway passenger transport is proven as a reliable and capable way of connecting regions. In many EÚ countries, railway transport has a certain gap, that could be improved without significant investments. In this study, we are focusing on negative consequences emerging from the cancelling operation of passenger transport on the chosen railway track. Most of the cancelations are affected by external influences. Individual car transport presents significant reasons with a noticeable impact on the potential of railway passenger transport in every region. On the railway line addressed in this article, passenger transport was cancelled in December 2019. This step was implemented for the constantly declining number of passengers. The object of the research is statistical dependence, characterized by the fact that the dependent variable is affected not only by independent variables but also by other unspecified variables and random effects. They are often called model faults or errors. This fact must be captured in a mathematical expression in a regression model. Based on this decision, it is necessary to seek answers to this situation using regression models that show the relationships between the number of passengers carried and the factors influencing their development. The main hypothesis is that the canceled of passenger transport was caused by low use by passengers. For example, with an increase/decrease in population, the number of passengers should increase/decrease the article verifies the dependences of the use of railway transport on the population of individual municipalities and on the development of fuel prices. Various dependencies (linear, polynomial, etc.) are used to test hypotheses. Testing of these dependencies will be performed using Fisher–Snedecor distribution. In the final part, the article also deals with the possibilities of using this line, as freight railway transport is no longer operated on this line. The research was carried out by a case study.
Clean Air for Indian Cities – Causes and Alleviation Strategies
Authors: Ramasesha Sheela K.
Published: January 2021

Air pollution in cities across the world is rising at an alarming rate. This rise in pollution has an adverse effect on people’s health leading to breathing difficulties, skin diseases and even cancer. The pollution in cities is mainly due to fossil fuel fired vehicles plying on the roads. Different polluting gases and particulate matter are discussed in the manuscript. Indian cities are no exception to this problem. With the general increase in population in the country, migration into cities has increased many folds. As a result, vehicular traffic on the roads has increased polluting the city atmosphere. This pollution has turned cities into heat islands. Two major cities of India, namely, Bengaluru and Delhi are considered in the manuscript for discussion. There are no simple ways of controlling this vehicular pollution and regulating the pollution. Strong policies have to be made and implemented. The way forward is pondered upon in the manuscript.

Authors: Khetan Vatsal , Sabnis Bhushan , Usman Sajeer , Joshi Anant
Published: January 2021

Objectives:

The purpose of this study was to present our modified technique for MPFL reconstruction. We also present its functional outcome, complications, and patients’ satisfaction from the procedure.

Materials and Method:

This study is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data during the period of July 2015 and March 2019. Forty cases in patients with recurrent symptomatic patellar instability without a patellar fracture and who underwent isolated MPFL reconstruction were included in the study. Kujala scoring was done to assess the functional outcome at follow-up. Post-operative dislocation and apprehension were recorded in each case along with any complication. Patients were asked to complete a subjective questionnaire postoperatively during follow-up, to assess their satisfaction with the surgical procedure.

Results:

Pre-operative Kujala score was 45.85 which improved to 92.72 postoperatively at the time follow-up. The improvement in Kujala score was found to be highly significant (P < 0.01). Subjective assessment of the procedure: 72.5% of the patients had an excellent outcome. About 15% of the patients had a good outcome whereas 10% had a fair outcome. Only one patient had a poor outcome.

Conclusion:

In properly selected patients with recurrent patellar instability, isolated MPFL reconstruction appears to be a safe and efficient surgical procedure for the stabilization of patella, with a low failure rate. Consistent good results with early rehabilitation can be obtained using suture anchors to fix the implant on patella and using the described technique.
Is anterior and posterior ankle impingement under-diagnosed? A review
Authors: Khurana Ankit , Singh Inderjeet , Singh Maninder Shah
Published: January 2021

The impingement of the ankle is diagnosed based on history, clinical signs, physical examination, and conventional radiographic observations and is often a diagnosis of exclusion. Normal X-rays may display spurs, but are mainly useful in the evaluation of other osseous and articular diseases, which may masquerade impingement symptoms. Orthopedic literature seems to embrace the idea that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a significant role in pre-operative imaging of impingement lesions and MRI is a highly useful method for evaluating acute and chronic foot and ankle disorders. Arthroscopy of the ankle is an important minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of this disease. The majority of patients who have refractory symptoms are treated for ankle impingement using debridement through arthroscopy or an open procedure. According to recent reports, arthroscopic patients for osseous impingement had done better than soft-tissue impingement arthroscopic patients. Ankle arthroscopy has outstanding functional outcomes with few complications and reproducible results. Diagnosis and treatment should be initiated immediately in sportsmen so that the competing athlete can return to sport in an expedient way. The surgeon’s increased suspicion of this disorder is necessary to avoid substantial loss of time and early management. This review highlights the author’s arthroscopic method of impingement resection and discusses the latest available literature on etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of both anterior and posterior ankle impingement. A greater understanding of this disorder can assist the clinician in the early diagnosis and intervention of impingement in sportsmen and dancers. Early diagnosis and intervention are the foundation for successful return to the profession and daily activities.

Authors: LaPrade Robert F. , Floyd Edward R. , Carlson Gregory B. , Moatshe Gilbert , Chahla Jorge , Monson Jill K.
Published: January 2021

In this review article, the authors describe the most current knowledge surrounding meniscal root tears with a primary focus on diagnosis, management, and implications for the health of the knee joint. Historically overlooked or treated with meniscectomy, meniscal root tears are now known to disrupt the biomechanical role of the meniscus in the joint, leading to the rapid development of knee osteoarthritis. Tears of the medial and lateral posterior meniscal roots are associated with differing etiologies and sequelae, especially in regard to their action as secondary stabilizers of the knee, making root tears an important consideration in ligament reconstruction surgery. We will discuss diagnostic challenges and well-established hallmarks of meniscus tears on imaging, and will conclude by explaining the preferred method for surgical repair of the meniscal roots and appropriate rehabilitation.
Optimization of salt reduction and eggplant powder for chicken nugget formulation with white button mushroom as a meat extender
Authors: Akesowan A. , Jariyawaranugoon U.
Published: January 2021

Chicken nugget extended with white button mushroom was developed by reducing the salt
content and enhancing the quality with eggplant powder. A total of two independent
variables, including salt reduction (0−40%) and eggplant powder (0−5%), were studied
using response surface methodology. Physical properties on cooking yield, shrinkage,
firmness, and color (L*, a*, b*) values, while sensory analyses on color, flavor, texture,
and overall acceptability were evaluated. The results showed that the two variables had
significant linear, quadratic, and interaction effects on the nugget characteristics. The
eggplant powder had a greater impact on L*, a*, b* color values. The cooking yield
increased at a low salt reduction (<20%) but decreased at a high reduction. All physical
parameters deteriorated when lowering the salt content. Incorporating a proper level of
eggplant powder improved the physical properties of modified nuggets. Sensorial
characteristics were deleterious to high salt reduction and eggplant powder. The lower
levels of salt reduction and eggplant powder is suitable for producing the chicken/white
button mushroom nugget formulation

The Use of Local Literary Texts as Reading Materials in English Language Classrooms: An Analysis of Teachers’ Perspectives
Authors: Mohaideen Muhammad Shahril Haja , Ismail Hanita Hanim , Ab Rashid Radzuwan
Published: January 2021

. It is common for Malaysian primary school pupils to have difficulties in reading English texts. One of its factors concerns text selection. Hence, a careful selection of the text is needed to ease their reading experience in ESL (English as Second Language) classrooms. This study explored teachers’ perceptions on literary text selection for Malaysian primary schools. An online questionnaire was distributed to gauge teachers’ perceptions on the current materials in terms of its impact on the students and lesson effectiveness. Respondents were 34 teachers of Years 4 to 6 in primary schools in Terengganu, the east coast Malaysia. Data analysis revealed that the teachers perceive local materials as more relatable to pupils in comparison to the foreign texts. The local texts are also perceived to have greater impacts on the students and lessons despite doubts remaining within the autonomy of this selection. This study is hoped to be helpful to the Ministry of Education and the teaching community in improving text selection in the future.
Monoplace chamber treatment of decompression illness: Review and commentary
Authors:   National Baromedical Services, Columbia, South Carolina, USA, Clarke Richard
Published: January 2021

This paper summarises the history and capabilities of monoplace chambers in treatment of decompression illness (DCI); both in support of diving operations and in the hospital setting. In the field, monoplace hyperbaric chambers provide victims of DCI immediate access to recompression in settings where traditional multiplace chambers are not available. Alternatively, they may facilitate pressurised transport to a multiplace chamber for continued management. Recently, collapsible lightweight versions have improved suitability for field deployment aboard small vessels in remote settings, and for use by less technically capable military, occupational and civilian operators. The resulting elimination of treatment delays may prove lifesaving and central nervous system sparing, and avoid subsequent diving fitness disqualification. Monoplace chambers thus facilitate diving operations that would otherwise be difficult to condone on health and safety grounds. The 1960s saw the introduction of multiplace hyperbaric chambers into the hospital setting, as a number of non-diving conditions appeared to benefit from hyperbaric oxygen. This coincided with interest in hyperbaric oxygen as a solid tumour radiation sensitiser. Development of a novel acrylic-hulled single occupancy chamber enabled patients to undergo radiotherapy while pressurised within its oxygen atmosphere. Increasing numbers of health care facilities adopted this chamber type as a more economical, less complex alternative to the multiplace chamber. Incorporation of relevant biomedical technologies have allowed monoplace chambers to support increasingly complex patients in a safe, effective manner. Despite these advances, criticism of medical centre-based monoplace chamber treatment of DCI exists. This paper evaluates this controversy and presents relevant counter-arguments.

Published: January 2021

Introduction. In the middle of the twentieth century, biotelemetry technologies were actively used in neurology, in the form of remote transmission and interpretation of an electroencephalogram (tele-EEG) for solving scientific and practical problems. Previously, this aspect of the development of clinical neurology has not been studied sufficiently. Materials and methods. The period of 1940-1980 was chosen for study. The relevant papers were identified thought electronic database (eLibrary ru, Pubmed). There are 28 papers are included in review. Results. In a global prospect, tele-EEG concepts, methods and technologies have evolved in parallel. The main contribution of the USSR is the development of methodology and technological solutions for tele-EEG, also as its application for solving scientific problems of sports and occupational medicine. The most significant are the works of the Sverdlovsk biotelemetric group. The main contribution of the USA is the development of computational tele-EEG and applications for scientific solutions in clinical neurology and psychiatry. Also, in the United States, tele-EEG was first limitedly used to solve personnel problems. The main contribution of European countries is in the formation of in-hospital and outpatient tele-EEG systems, their application for solving scientific problems of clinical neurology. Conclusion. In the middle of the twentieth century, the intensive development of telemetric electroencephalography (tele-EEG) led to the formation of a new direction in clinical telemedicine – teleneurology. Distant fixation of the brain electrical activity carried out both for the purpose of neurophysiology study and for solving clinical problems. General methodological issues and neurophysiological results of the tele-EEG highlighted in papers published in 1974-1977 by scientists from the USSR, USA, Hungary, Germany, Canada, the Netherlands, France. From the clinical point of view, the main contribution of tele-EEG is the study of the pathophysiology and innovative diagnosis of seizure syndrome and epilepsy.
Analysis on the Meaning of German ‘Representation’ Used in the Definition of Mathematical Terms in Elementary Mathematics Textbooks
Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Kang YunJi , Paik SeokYoon
Published: January 2021

In this study, the representations used in the definition of mathematical terms in elementary school math textbooks according to the 2015 revised curriculum were analyzed by type according to the meaning of German ‘representation'. The definition of 172 mathematical terms presented as learning elements in the curriculum was analyzed by classifying them into four types (darstellen, vorstellen, vertretten, and bedeuten) depending on the meaning of the German word ‘representation'. As a result, even mathematical terms with abstract meanings were often described in a specific direction or presented with examples. This is interpreted as an attempt to easily represent the concept in an easy and specific direction, taking into account the developmental stage of elementary school students. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the meaning of these representations and to help students understand them by accurately representing them in the appropriate direction according to the nature of each mathematical term.

Continuous Question-Answer Pairs
Authors: Goldenberg Yosef
Published: January 2021

This article offers a generalized study of continuous question-answer pairs in common-practice tonal music. In all (and only in) question-answer pairs, the first ending is less conclusive than the second. The first ending need not, however, be a cadence. The category of question-answer pairs (QAPs) that are continuous cuts across various theme types in Caplin’s (1998) taxonomy. Examples of continuous QAPs include (1) continuous periods (with a dominant-version consequent or a consequent with a non-tonic beginning); (2) most, but not all cases of the hybrid theme type compound basic theme + consequent; and (3) many, but not all statement-response pairs in sentential presentations. Various aspects contribute to the evaluation of each specific case, including caesuras, motivic parallelism, symmetry, internal organization, unit length, independence of the hyper-unit, and melodic closure.
Prolongational Closure in the Lieder of Fanny Hensel
Authors: Rodgers Stephen , Osborne Tyler
Published: January 2021

In this article we explore Fanny Hensel’s songs that end without cadences but instead with what William Caplin (2018) calls “prolongational closure.” These songs, most of which come from the 1820s, are some of the earliest examples of piece-ending prolongational closure in the repertoire and thus offer important models for understanding how the technique was deployed by later composers. We propose three types of prolongational closure, drawn from a study of Hensel’s works—".fn_scaledegree(5)."–".fn_scaledegree(1)." fill, dominant substitution, and early pedal—and suggest that Hensel’s fascination with non-cadential endings offers yet more evidence that she was one of the most inventive composers in the first half of the nineteenth century.
Instrumental Transformations in Heinrich Biber’s Mystery Sonatas
Authors: De Souza Jonathan
Published: January 2021

Each of Heinrich Biber’s Mystery Sonatas features a distinct violin tuning. How do these scordatura relate to standard tuning? How might they affect the sonatas’ musical organization and players’ experience? Transformational voice-leading theory helps to reveal overlapping categories here. Quintal scordatura include adjacent-string fifths, creating zones where notated and sounding intervals match. Chordal scordatura, in which the strings realize a triad, involve more displacement. Psychological research on altered pitch feedback suggests that scordatura are most unsettling for players when they preserve aspects of standard tuning. Analyzing scordatura, then, shows how instruments function as spaces for musical action.
Mapping Ravel’s “La vallée des cloches”
Authors: Fyr Kyle
Published: January 2021

This article makes a case for constructing a map of Maurice Ravel’s “La vallée des cloches” (The valley of the bells) by showing how the process of mapping the piece can provide valuable insights from a variety of perspectives, such as: 1) offering insights into how the piece’s many bell sounds are individuated from each other and interact with one another in creating intricate formal and temporal frameworks; 2) emphasizing prominent aspects of Ravel’s aesthetics such as mechanistic impulses, spatial and metaphorical thinking, literary influences, and nostalgic fascination with the past; 3) situating the piece within the context of significant changes in France at the turn of the twentieth century marked by the declining prominence of bells in defining the auditory landscape, the symbolism bells carried with them, and the role bells played in marking temporal rhythms for French society; and 4) showing how many aspects of the piece highlighted throughout the mapping process align in suggestive ways with significant performance considerations.

Parametric optimization of process parameters for Electric discharge Machining of Tungsten carbide (93% WC and 7%Co)
Authors: Rajiv Sharma Kumar
Published: January 2021

Nowadays there is a huge demand of High Strength Temperature Resistance (HSTR) alloys such as titanium, carbide, nimonics and ceramics in aerospace, defence and electronics. Among these alloys machining of tungsten carbide alloy is of interest, because of its numerous applications. Complex shapes of tungsten carbide are not generally made by traditional manufacturing process. To machine tungsten carbide with high accuracy, non-traditional machining process like Laser beam machining, Electron beam machining and Electrical discharge machining are a proper choice. In the present paper, the authors have machined Tungsten carbide (93% WC and 7%Co) with copper electrode. The machining is performed on EDM MODEL 500 X 300 ENC with VELVEX EDMVEL-2 as dielectric oil. The 17 experiments are carried out based on RSM (Box-Behnken) method. Further, in order to find the optimum combination grey relational approach is used. The results showed that pulse-on-time of 40μs, pulse-off-time of 2μs and current of 8A are optimum combination for machining of Tungsten carbide (93% WC and 7%Co). Lastly, the confirmation experiment has been conducted.

Published: January 2021

Modern methods of testing materials require the use of the latest technologies and combining measurement and calculation methods. It is important to find a quantitative way of describing, among other things, the failures so that it can help to design with high accuracy. This paper studies loading orientations on crack shape and fracture surface changes. The advantage of the entire fracture surface method is simplicity and applicability in studies on other materials, shapes and loadings. A higher values of fracture surface parameters (Sx, Vx) was observed in failure specimens with lower σ/τ (B/T) ratios. It has been observed that largest crack lengths with a small number of cycles occur for loading combinations different then B=T. As well as analyzed surface parameters Sx, Vx, are higher for larger number of cycles to crack initiation (Ni) values.

Published: January 2021

Land resource inventory (LRI) at larger scale (1:10000) is the basic prerequisite to develop agricultural land use planning for upgrading the socioeconomic condition of the farmers. In the present era of climate change and huge demand for food, the agriculture in India is under severe stress, which might be improved through a judicious land resource inventory followed by a robust agricultural land use planning. Moreover, site specific land management options must be framed to provide right technology at right time in right place. Thus, with this aim, a methodology of LRI at 1:10000 scale have been developed using geospatial technique for preparation of landscape ecological map (LEU) as base map. The detailed information generated in GIS environment has been used in the field for detailed ground truthing and land resource inventory for farm planning. The detailed methodology has been presented through a case study considering Rajnagar block of Birbhum distrct, West Bengal for doing LRI at 1:10000 scale

The application of good governance within governance prerequisite that cannot be left out is the participation of the community in public policy. The main prerequisites were when the Government implemented the autonomous region with the principle of decentralization, community participation. It involves all aspects of the implementation of the development in areas starting from planning to supervision. Participatory governance is governance putting citizens or non-government as an individual or organization as a viable social stakeholder in making public policy that has just dominated the Government. Model of participatory governance policy in the primary health services is eligible to be developed by optimizing and strengthening cooperation intersectional, increasing the motivation of health workers as well as eliminating social and cultural barriers in the community.
TIMM17B is a differentially expressed gene in human metastatic breast cancer, in the brain and in the lymph nodes.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 17B, encoded by TIMM17B, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain and lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. TIMM17B mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of TIMM17B in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient overall survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of TIMM17B expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain while evading immune clearance in the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. These data are one piece of evidence suggesting a common ancestor or tumor clone for brain and lymph node metastases that originate from the primary tumor, alluding to patterns in developmental origin and migratory pathways through the lymph node in human brain metastatic breast cancer.

Masalah Pendidikan di Indonesia
Authors: Agustang Andi , Mutiara Indah Ainun , Asrifan Andi
Published: January 2021

Kualitas pendidikan di Indonesia saat ini sangat memprihatinkan. Ini dibuktikan antara lain dengan data UNESCO (2000) tentang peringkat Indeks Pengembangan Manusia (Human Development Index), yaitu komposisi dari peringkat pencapaian pendidikan, kesehatan, dan penghasilan per kepala yang menunjukkan, bahwa indeks pengembangan manusia Indonesia makin menurun. Di antara 174 negara di dunia, Indonesia menempati urutan ke-102 (1996), ke-99 (1997), ke-105 (1998), dan ke-109 (1999).Menurut survei Political and Economic Risk Consultant (PERC), kualitas pendidikan di Indonesia berada pada urutan ke-12 dari 12 negara di Asia. Posisi Indonesia berada di bawah Vietnam. Data yang dilaporkan The World Economic Forum Swedia (2000), Indonesia memiliki daya saing yang rendah, yaitu hanya menduduki urutan ke-37 dari 57 negara yang disurvei di dunia. Dan masih menurut survai dari lembaga yang sama Indonesia hanya berpredikat sebagai follower bukan sebagai pemimpin teknologi dari 53 negara di dunia.Memasuki abad ke- 21 dunia pendidikan di Indonesia menjadi heboh. Kehebohan tersebut bukan disebabkan oleh kehebatan mutu pendidikan nasional tetapi lebih banyak disebabkan karena kesadaran akan bahaya keterbelakangan pendidikan di Indonesia. Perasan ini disebabkan karena beberapa hal yang mendasar. Salah satunya adalah memasuki abad ke- 21 gelombang globalisasi dirasakan kuat dan terbuka. Kemajaun teknologi dan perubahan yang terjadi memberikan kesadaran baru bahwa Indonesia tidak lagi berdiri sendiri. Indonesia berada di tengah-tengah dunia yang baru, dunia terbuka sehingga orang bebas membandingkan kehidupan dengan negara lain.Yang kita rasakan sekarang adalah adanya ketertinggalan didalam mutu pendidikan. Baik pendidikan formal maupun informal. Dan hasil itu diperoleh setelah kita membandingkannya dengan negara lain. Pendidikan memang telah menjadi penopang dalam meningkatkan sumber daya manusia Indonesia untuk pembangunan bangsa. Oleh karena itu, kita seharusnya dapat meningkatkan sumber daya manusia Indonesia yang tidak kalah bersaing dengan sumber daya manusia di negara-negara lain.Setelah kita amati, nampak jelas bahwa masalah yang serius dalam peningkatan mutu pendidikan di Indonesia adalah rendahnya mutu pendidikan di berbagai jenjang pendidikan, baik pendidikan formal maupun informal. Dan hal itulah yang menyebabkan rendahnya mutu pendidikan yang menghambat penyediaan sumber daya menusia yang mempunyai keahlian dan keterampilan untuk memenuhi pembangunan bangsa di berbagai bidang.Kualitas pendidikan Indonesia yang rendah itu juga ditunjukkan data Balitbang (2003) bahwa dari 146.052 SD di Indonesia ternyata hanya delapan sekolah saja yang mendapat pengakuan dunia dalam kategori The Primary Years Program (PYP). Dari 20.918 SMP di Indonesia ternyata juga hanya delapan sekolah yang mendapat pengakuan dunia dalam kategori The Middle Years Program (MYP) dan dari 8.036 SMA ternyata hanya tujuh sekolah saja yang mendapat pengakuan dunia dalam kategori The Diploma Program (DP).
Mungkinkah Universal Basic Income (UBI) Diterapkan Di Indonesia? Sebuah Tinjauan Literatur Sistematis
Authors: Jamil Hidsal
Published: January 2021

Dampak pandemi Covid-19 dan revolusi industri yang substansial telah mendorong diterapkannya Universal Basic Income (UBI) diterapkan secara permanen, bukan hanya di masa krisis. Studi ini telah menyediakan penilaian mengenai kemungkinan potensi penerapan UBI di Indonesia secara permanen. Dengan menggunakan tinjauan literatur sistematis, studi ini tampaknya tidak menyediakan dukungan terhadap penerapan UBI secara permanen di luar masa krisis dan transisi pemulihan ekonomi di Indonesia. Hal ini cukup beralasan mengingat penerapan BLT sebagai program yang paling mendekati UBI tidak sepenuhnya menunjukkan manfaat kesejahteraan dalam artian luas, bahkan di masa krisis sekalipun. BLT memang memberikan manfaat yang cukup besar terhadap aspek ekonomi, pendidikan dan ketenagakerjaan, namun justru menimbulkan efek yang lebih kontraporuktif terhadap aspek kesehatan dan pengembangan komunitas.
