Preliminary Study on the Effect of Quinolone against Rec A Protein for the Possible Role in the Treatment of Tuberculosis through Molecular Docking
Authors: Gautam Priyanka
Published: July 2021

Tuberculosis is a type of ancient, chronic disease which affects humans and caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. They affect the lungs and other organs. The treatment is curable but in some cases it is fatal if not treated properly. The molecular docking method was used to see the interaction of the protein with the ligand. Thus, molecular docking was used to analyse the Rec A (PDB ID 1U94) target protein with their known type of ligand by using molecular docking tools. The Rec A (PDB ID 1U94) structure of protein was downloaded through online database. The best ligand after molecular docking was Quinolone, which may act as a drug after in vitro and in vivo studies.

Vehicle Vacant Seat Identification and Mask Detection using Image processing
Authors: Ingole Mr. Shubham
Published: July 2021

This article describes the technique of real-time face detection, mask detection, and vacant seat available in the vehicle. There are so many technologies for finding seat availability in the vehicle. But image processing technology is very popular today. Face detection is part of image processing. It is used to find the face of a human being in a certain area. Face detection is used in many applications, such as facial recognition, people tracking or photography. In this paper, the face detection technique is used to detect the vacant seat availability in the vehicle and also to detect whether the passenger wear the mask on his face or not. The webcam is installed in the vehicle and connected with the Raspberry Pi 3 model B. When the vehicle leaves the station, the webcam will capture images of the passengers in the seating area. The webcam will be mounted on the vehicle. The images will be adjusted and enhanced to reduce noise made by the software application. The system obtains the maximum number of passengers in the vehicle that processes the images and then calculates the availability of seats in the vehicle. In covid-19 situation mask detection is necessary. so this system also used to detect the mask on face.
FPGA based Edge Detection using Sobel Filter
Authors: Jadhav Gabbar
Published: July 2021

In image processing, Sobel operator is utilised especially inside algorithms of edge-detection. It is a discreet differentiation operator which calculates the gradient approximation of the function picture intensity. The outcome of the Sobel operation at each location of the image is either the appropriate gradient vector or the vector standard. The Sobel operator relies on the image being converted into horizontal and vertical with a tiny, separable and integrated valued filter. This means that the computation is quite inexpensive. PAN Poanta satellite image was used for this work using Java, Core Java in GDAL package. As compared to in built Sobel operator, the image generated for this work is very fine and sharp as a result of noise suppression to a considerable extent. Inorder to do edge detection efficiently with minimal amount of false results, a correct form of Sobel filter ( I’=√(I*X)²+(I*Y)2 ) was used instead of the approximation(I’=I*X+I*Y) for the sake of computation.

Model load in case of an internal explosion
Authors: Gorev V. A.
Published: July 2021

Introduction. Presently, there are no model loads that describe the burst effect of an internal explosion. The goal of the article is to design a model load that characterizes an internal explosion with regard for the effect of inertial safety structures. The author provides relevant examples.Methods. The experiment and the numerical modeling identify the characteristics of an internal explosion, primarily, its destructive effect. First of all, these characteristics include the pressure value and rate in the process of the first peak formation. A drop follows the first peak. Another rise to the second peak is followed by the final pressure drop. The rise to the first peak is described by a cubic parabola. The constant value of pressure is equal to the highest value of the two peaks. It replaces the drop and rise between the peaks. The linear dependence describes the area of the final pressure drop, so that the deformation is completed at the end point. The time of the pressure rise is determined by breakup, and it takes account of the characteristics of safety structures. The time of the second peak is the time when the flame area is maximal.Results and discussion. The deformation that may occur before the first peak represents a solution to the equation, describing the beam motion. This equation is provided in the article. The deformation between the peaks is determined by the balance of energy. The deformation, that occurs when the pressure drops, is identified by the solution to the motion equation. The solution is subject to the deformation completion condition.Conclusions. The results show that the time between the peaks is important when the pressure is close to maximal. The analysis identifies the conditions under which deformation remains elastic. These results can be contributed to the assessment of the bearing capacity of buildings that accommodate explosive production facilities. This approach ensures conservative results.
Acercamiento a la subjetividad de profesores de matemáticas mediante un estudio narrativo-autobiográfico de corte hermenéutico
Authors: Salazar Amaya Claudia
Published: July 2021

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación cuyo propósito fue develar las subjetividades de profesores de matemáticas a partir de un estudio narrativo-autobiográfico de corte hermenéutico. Las preguntas que orientaron esta investigación tienen que ver con los tipos de experiencias profesional y de formación reportadas en las tramas narrativas de los profesores y los sentidos que se develan acerca de sus subjetividades. Esta investigación se desarrolla mediante métodos cualitativos de tipo inductivo y se compromete con la comunión cognitiva entre los profesores e investigadora y la doble hermenéutica que ésta implica. Para su desarrollo se creó un ambiente de aprendizaje en el que nueve profesores de matemáticas experimentaron la creación e interpretación de tramas narrativas autobiográficas sobre su experiencia profesional y trayectoria de formación en tres fases: preconfiguración, configuración y reconfiguración. En la fase de reconfiguración, los profesores y la investigadora llevaron a cabo análisis paradigmáticos y narrativos de datos provenientes de sus tramas, con los cuales los profesores lograron tomar distancia de sus experiencias, vivieron procesos de identificación y entraron en modo subjuntivo. Como resultado se develan las capacidades de contar, decir y hacer de los profesores. Otros resultados fueron: la transición entre una postura moralmente neutra y una como sujeto responsable; el saber artesanal proveniente de la comunidad de profesores a la que pertenecen; las prácticas culturales que permitieron los primeros vínculos con prácticas matemáticas; la relevancia de otros en la configuración de su identidad profesional, en especial, el papel de sus pares académicos como expertos adaptativos o rutinarios y las interacciones con los estudiantes

Published: July 2021

A exposição a níveis elevados de ruído pode causar perdas auditivas irreversíveis, além de outras complicações fisiológicas que podem ser detectadas a longo prazo. Assim, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo descrever o perfil ocupacional de trabalhadores de uma mineradora no nordeste do Estado do Pará, em face da exposição ao ruído no ambiente laboral, bem como analisar a percepção da qualidade de vida desses trabalhadores. Esta pesquisa é do tipo quantitativa e qualitativa, de caráter descritivo. Para entrevistar os funcionários, se utilizou dois tipos de questionários: um semiestruturado para o perfil social; e outro fechado, para investigar a qualidade de vida (WHOQOL-bref), abordando os domínios físico, psicológico, ambiental e social. Ao todo, 26 trabalhadores participaram deste estudo, com predominância do sexo masculino, média de idade entre 34 e 40 anos e baixo nível de escolaridade. Os dados revelaram que as taxas de decibéis detectadas no local ainda não são ideais diante do que a literatura científica sugere como adequadas para preservação da saúde. Quanto à qualidade de vida, os menores escores foram observados para o domínio ambiental, com destaque para as questões relativas à remuneração e a disponibilidade para o lazer. O domínio físico foi o que melhor contribuiu para a qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores. Assim, compreende-se que existem riscos físicos ligados ao barulho no local de estudo, revelando, portanto, a necessidade em se desenvolver outras pesquisas sobre o tema a fim de se obter subsídios para ações voltadas à proteção e promoção da saúde do trabalhador.

Evaluation of the Effects of Different Rapid Maxillary Expansion Appliances on Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A randomized clinical trial
Authors: Gokce Gokcenur , Basoglu Ozen K , Veli Ilknur
Published: July 2021

Purpose The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the
effects of tooth tissue-borne (TTB), tooth-borne (TB), and bone-borne
(BB) rapid maxillary expansion appliances on obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA) severity. Trial design Three-arm parallel randomized controlled
trial. Methods This study was designed in parallel with an allocation
ratio of 1:1:1. Forty six patients with narrow maxilla and diagnosis of
OSA recruited from the Department of Orthodontics, ### University
were randomly assigned to three groups according to appliance used:
tooth tissue-borne, tooth-borne and bone-borne expanders. The primary
outcome of this study included polygraphic change in sleep parameters.
Secondary outcome was the correction of posterior crossbite. Each
subject underwent overnight sleep test with polygraphy at baseline and 3
month-follow-up of treatment. Randomization was performed using a
computer-generated randomization program The outcome assessor was
blinded to group assignment. For the statistical analysis,
Kruskal-Wallis analysis and Dunn-Bonferroni tests were used for
inter-group comparisons and Wilcoxon analysis was used for intra-group
evalaution. p<0.05 was accepted statistically significant.
Results The amount of expansion in maxillary width and upper intermolar
width were similar in all goups (95% confidence interval [CI],
p>0.05). The groups were similar in terms of apnea-hypopnea
index (AHI) and oxygen saturation parameters at baseline (95% [CI],
p>0.05). After 3 months of treatment, there was no
significant decrease in AHI and oxygen desaturation index, and no
increase in minimum and mean oxygen saturations (95% [CI],
p>0.05). Supine AHI values were decreased by the tooth
tissue-borne and tooth-borne appliances, but these changes were not
significant (95% [CI], p>0.05). Harms No serious harm
ocurred except mild gingivitis. Conclusions Similar skeletal and dental
expansion of maxilla were observed after RME with all expanders.
Although the decrease in AHI was not significant, RME can be used as an
adjunct to the primary treatment in OSA patients.
Does effective population size affect rates of molecular evolution: mitochondrial data for host/parasite species pairs in bees suggests not
Authors: Bousjein Nahid Shokri , Tierney Simon , Gardner Michael , Schwarz Michael
Published: July 2021

Adaptive evolutionary theory argues that organisms with larger effective
population size (Ne) should have higher rates of adaptive evolution and
therefore greater capacity to win evolutionary arm races. However, in
some certain cases species with much smaller Ne may be able to survive
beside their opponents for an extensive evolutionary time. Neutral
theory predicts that accelerated rates of molecular evolution in
organisms with exceedingly small Ne is due to the effects of genetic
drift and fixation of slightly deleterious mutations. We test this
prediction in two obligate social parasite species and their respective
host species from the bee tribe Allodapini. The parasites (genus
Inquilina) have been locked into a tight coevolutionary arm races with
their exclusive hosts (genus Exoneura) for ~15 million
years, even though Inquilina exhibit Ne that are an order of magnitude
smaller than their host. In this study, we compared rates of molecular
evolution between host and parasite using nonsynonymous to synonymous
substitution rate ratios (dN/dS) of eleven mitochondrial protein coding
genes sequenced from transcriptomes. Tests of selection on mitochondrial
genes indicated no significant differences between host and parasite
dN/dS, with evidence for purifying selection acting on all mitochondrial
genes of host and parasite species. Several potential factors which
could weaken the inverse relationship between Ne and rate of molecular
evolution are discussed.

Not out of the woods yet: signatures of the prolonged negative genetic consequences of a population bottleneck in a rapidly re-expanding wader, the black-faced spoonbill Platalea minor
Authors: Li Shou-Hsien , Liu Yang , Yeh Chia-Fen , Fu Yuchen , Yeung Carol K. L. , Lee Chun-cheng , Chiu Chi-Cheng , Kuo Tung Hui , Chan FT , Chen Yu-Chia , Ko Wen-ya , Yao Chen-te
Published: July 2021

The long-term persistence of a population which has suffered a
bottleneck partly depends on how historical demographic dynamics
impacted its genetic diversity and the accumulation of deleterious
mutations. Here we provide genomic evidence for the detrimental genetic
effect of a recent population bottleneck in the endangered black-faced
spoonbill (Platalea minor) even after its rapid population
recovery. Our population genomic data suggest that the bird’s effective
population size, N, had been relatively stable
(7,500-9,000) since the end of the last glacial maximum; however, a
recent brief yet severe bottleneck (N= 20)
around the 1940s wiped out more than 99% of its historical
N in roughly three generations. By comparing it
with its sister species, the royal spoonbill (P. regia) whose
conservation status is of lesser concern, we found that despite a more
than 15-fold population recovery since 1988, genetic drift has led to
higher levels of inbreeding (7.4 times more runs of homozygosity longer
than 100 Kb) in the black-faced spoonbill than in the royal spoonbill
genome. Although the two spoonbills have similar levels of genome-wide
nucleotide diversity and heterozygosity, because of relaxed purifying
selection, individual black-faced spoonbills carry 3% more
nonsynonymous substitutions than royal spoonbills each of which is 7%
more deleterious. Our results imply that the persistence of a threatened

Objective: To determine the potential longer-term effects of maternal
antenatal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination, we examined the
association between cord-blood RSV-neutralizing antibodies (RSV-NA) and
RSV infections in the first 2-years of life, RSV-NA at 3-years, and
respiratory health to age 5-years. Methods: Two community-based
Australian birth cohorts were combined. For children with at least one
atopic parent, paired serum RSV-NA levels were compared in cord-blood
and at age 3-years. Weekly nasal swabs were collected in one cohort and
during acute respiratory infections (ARI) in the other. Wheeze history
up to age 5-years and physician-diagnosed asthma at 5-years was
collected by parent report. Results: In 264 children, each log10
increase of cord-blood RSV-NA level was associated with 37% decreased
risk (adjusted incidence-rate-ratio (aIRR) 0.63; 95% confidence
interval (CI): 0.40–1.01) of RSV-ARI and 49% decreased risk (aIRR
0.51; 95%CI: 0.25–1.02) of RSV acute lower respiratory infections
(ALRI) at 12–24 months of age. However, higher cord-blood RSV-NA was
associated with increased risk of all-cause ALRI (aIRR 1.29; 95%CI:
0.99–1.69), wheeze-associated ALRI (aIRR 1.75; 95%CI: 1.08–2.82) and
severe ALRI (aIRR 2.76; 95%CI: 1.63–4.70) at age 6–<12
months. Cord-blood RSV-NA was not associated with RSV-ARI in the first
6-months, RSV-NA levels at 3-years, or wheeze or asthma at 5-years.
Conclusions: Higher levels of cord-blood RSV-NA did not protect against
RSV infections during the first 6-months-of-life, time-to-first RSV-ARI,
or wheeze or asthma in the first 5-years of life. Additional strategies
to control RSV-related illness in childhood are needed.
Strengthening the Competitiveness of Indonesia's Loser Sector Products in RCEP Cooperation
Authors: Abdullah Ragimun , Rosjadi Imran
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this study is to map some of Indonesia's loser sector products which are commodities that need to be strengthened in the RCEP cooperation forum. In this study, the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) formula is used to analyze the competitiveness of Indonesian export products. The average RCA results between, 2015-2019 show that out of the five food and beverage product items, most of them have high competitiveness. Meanwhile, the average RCA of livestock products, light industry and heavy industrial products has low competitiveness. A strengthening strategy to increase product competitiveness in the RCEP market requires several steps. These steps include identifying market access in RCEP partner countries, improving product quality and specialization, coordinating between the Government and the private sector and continuing to encourage bureaucratic reform, harmonization of regulations to obtain Smart Regulations.

Objective

This randomized
controlled-feeding trial aimed to determine the impact of fried meat intake on
the gut-microbiota and fecal cometabolites and whether such
impacts influenced host glucose
homoeostasis, intestinal endotoxin levels and systemic inflammation.

Methods

117 overweight adults
were randomized into two groups. Fifty-nine participants were provided fried meat 4
times per-week,
and fifty-eight participants were restricted from fried meat intake, while holding food group and
nutrient compositions constant, for 4 weeks. The gut-microbiota was analyzed by
16S rRNA sequencing. Glucose and insulin concentrations at 0, 30, 60 and 120 min
of an oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT), fecal microbiota-host cometabolite levels,
and intestinal endotoxin and inflammation serum biomarker levels were measured.
The area under the curve (AUC) for insulin, insulinogenic-index(IGI) and muscle
insulin resistance index(MIRI) were calculated.

Results

The participants who
consumed fried meat had lower IGI values than the controls, but they had higher
MIRI and AUC values of insulin and lipopolysaccharide, TNF-α, IL-10 and IL-2 levels(P<0.05). Fried meat intake lowered microbial
community richness and decreased Lachnospiraceae
and Flavonifractor abundances while increasing Dialister, Dorea and Veillonella abundances(P-FDR<0.05), provoking a significant
shift in the fecal cometabolite profile, with lower 3-indolepropionic acid, valeric acid and butyric acid concentrations and
higher carnitine and methylglutaric acid concentrations(P-FDR<0.05). Changes in these cometabolite levels were significantly associated with
changes in IGI and MIRI values and lipopolysaccharide, FGF21, TNF-α, IL-2 and
IL-10 levels(P<0.05).

Conclusions

Fried meat intake
impaired glucose homoeostasis and increased intestinal endotoxin and systemic inflammation levels by influencing the gut-microbiota and microbial-host
cometabolites.

Published: July 2021

The final instar larva of Cephalaeschna risi Asahina, 1981 is described for the first time based on material from Taiwan. In Taiwan, the larva of C. risi can be separated from other aeshnid larvae by its relatively short antennae and presence of small protuberances on the legs. Diagnostic characters to distinguish it from other known larvae of Cephalaeschna are also discussed. A comprehensive description, detailed illustrations, bionomics and observations of the semi-terrestrial lifestyle of C. risi are presented. Finally, a key to the genera of Aeshnidae in Taiwan is proposed.

Published: July 2021

El cultivo de pitahaya amarilla (selenicereus megalanthus) es de gran importancia comercial en el departamento del Huila por el significativo aporte económico que brinda a familias productoras de la región. Sin embargo, la pérdida de frutos en el cultivo alcanza el 30 % del total de la producción debido a la presencia de hongos fitopatógenos que atacan la parte basal del fruto, convirtiéndose en un factor de alto riesgo para el desarrollo del cultivo. En la presente investigación se analizó la cáscara, pulpa y semillas del fruto de la pitahaya cultivada en el municipio de Pitalito, Huila, para identificar el hongo fitopatógeno que afecta la calidad fisicoquímica de los frutos durante su desarrollo fisiológico en la planta. Se aisló e identificó morfológicamente un hongo perteneciente al género Fusarium, tomando como base las claves de Barnett y Hunter. El análisis estructural demostró que la especie aislada fue F. oxysporum, agente causante de la pudrición basal y pérdida de calidad sensorial. Se detectó presencia del hongo en la cáscara y la pulpa, descartando la posibilidad del uso del fruto en la elaboración de productos de tipo alimenticio, sin embargo no se encontró presencia del patógeno en las semillas. Los resultados de la investigación brindan la posibilidad de adoptar medidas de control tratamiento y control biológico de las enfermedades presentes en el cultivo de pitahaya amarilla, con el fin de minimizar la pérdida de frutos y poder ofrecer más y mejores productos al mercado nacional e internacional.

A singularidade da formação da Pedagogia Waldorf (PW) ainda é mitificada. Assim, objetivou-se com esta pesquisa identificar a percepção de Egressos do Ensino Fundamental (EEF) quanto aos processos formativos desenvolvidos na PW, recorrendo-se à pesquisa qualitativa-descritiva com o uso do questionário aplicado no período de 2019 e 2020 a 28 egressos cuja idade varia entre 14 e 18 anos. Oriundos da referida pedagogia, os egressos que, atualmente, cursam o Ensino Médio (EM) em escola não Waldorf avaliaram positivamente a formação que tiveram na PW, especialmente devido à base sólida proporcionada em diferentes áreas que consideram valiosas para o seu processo de desenvolvimento ao longo da vida. Os EEF apresentaram como principais motivos os processos de ensino e aprendizagem, o papel do professor, as relações sociais e a formação humanizante e integradora. Apesar de manifestarem favoráveis à PW, alguns egressos consideram essa pedagogia mais apropriada ao nível Fundamental.

The aim of the work is to develop an automated measuring system in a mechanical gyrocompass with the help of specially developed hardware and software in order to facilitate the operation of the device and minimize observer errors. The developed complex provides automation only for the time method, as for the method of the turning point it is necessary to constantly contact the motion screw of the total station. The project is based on an integrated system, the hardware part of which contains a single-board computer, camera, and lens. The main software is a developed motion recognition algorithm with the help of image processing. This algorithm was created using the Python programming language and the open-source computer vision library OpenCV. With the help of the hardware, a video image of the gyroscope's reference scale is obtained, and with the help of the software, the moving light indicator and its position relative to the scale are identified in this image. The result of the study is a functioning automatic measurement system, which determines the value of the azimuth of the direction with the same accuracy as manual measurements. The system is controlled remotely via a computer and wi-fi network. To test the system, a series of automatic and manual measurements were performed simultaneously at the same point for the same direction. Based on the results obtained, it can be stated that the accuracy of the system is within the limits specified by the manufacturer of the device for manual measurements. The application of computer vision technology, namely the tracking of a moving object in the image for gyroscopic measurements can give a significant impetus to the development of automation systems for a wide range of measuring instruments, which in turn can improve the accuracy of measurement results. The developed system can be used together with the Gyromax AK-2M gyrocompass of GeoMessTechnik for carrying out automated measurements, training of new operators. With the help of the developed model, it is possible to avoid gross errors of the observer, to facilitate the measurement process which will not demand the constant presence of the operator near the device. In some dangerous conditions, this is a significant advantage.
