Sound Localization in Unilateral Cochlear Implant Users
Authors: Lee Sungmin
Published: August 2022

Purpose: Sound is localized by two ears. People with bilaterally severe-to-profound hearing loss may struggle to identify the direction of a sound if their hearing device delivers sound only one ear due to the loss of binaural advantage. The purpose of this study was to systematically investigate the sound localization performance of people with unilateral cochlear implant users. Methods: Ten unilateral cochlear implant users and 10 normal hearing adults participated in this study. Sound localization tests were conducted using five stimuli (speech, speech with noise, 500 Hz warble tone, 1 kHz warble tone, and 4 kHz warble tone) presented from eight loud-speakers. Correct responses and root- mean-square errors were obtained to investigate the localization performances and error patterns. Additional factors including the Korean-Speech Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Questionnaire were also analyzed. Results: Localization performance was significantly poor in the unilateral cochlear implant group showing polar patterns toward their hearing side. While the normal hearing group showed better localization for speech in quiet conditions compared to 500 Hz warble tone, the cochlear implant group did not show any statistical difference in performance across the stimuli due to their very poor performance. The Korean-Speech Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Questionnaire was associated with localization performance in limited conditions. Conclusion: The present study revealed that unilateral cochlear implant users correctly localize a sound at nearly chance levels. The Korean-Speech Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Questionnaire predict localization performance for unilateral cochlear implant users only for particular conditions.

Objetivo. Hypericum perforatum L. (H. perforatum) es una hierba tradicional utilizada en el tratamiento de muchas enfermedades. El extracto de H. perforatum tiene efectos antimicrobianos, antioxidantes, antiinflamatorios, antiulcerosos y antidepresivos. La indometacina es un fármaco antiinflamatorio no esteroideo. Puede causar daño oxidativo en el tejido del estómago. Para este propósito, se investigó la eficacia protectora del extracto de H. perforatum en un modelo de úlcera gástrica inducida por indometacina. Materiales y métodos. Se utilizaron sesenta ratas macho albinas Wistar y las ratas se dividieron en 6 grupos como control negativo, control positivo, H. perforatum, extracto de H. perforatum+indometacina 10/25, extracto de H. perforatum+indometacina 25/25, extracto de H. perforatum+indometacina 50/25. Se administraron por vía oral diferentes dosis de extracto de H. perforatum por sonda, y después de 5 minutos se indujo la úlcera gástrica con indometacina (25 mg/kg). Después de 6 horas, se sacrificaron las ratas. Se midieron los índices de úlceras para cada estómago. Se analizaron los niveles de glutatión (GSH), catalasa (CAT), malondialdehído (MDA) y superóxido dismutasa (SOD) en el tejido del estómago. Resultados. El extracto de H. perforatum+indometacina 50/25 aumentó la actividad de SOD y el nivel de GSH y disminuyó los niveles de MDA en la úlcera gástrica inducida por indometacina. Sin embargo, el índice de úlcera fue significativamente menor solo en el grupo que recibió el extracto de H. perforatum. Conclusiones. Este estudio indica que el extracto de H. perforatum puede tener como potencial agente alternativo en el tratamiento de la úlcera gástrica inducida por indometacina.

Published: August 2022

This experimental research was performed to observe the influence of an agricultural liquid organic fertilizer called Bio Ferti on the growth and biomass of Spirulina platensis, aiming at replacing inorganic fertilizer with the liquid organic one. The cultivation of the microalgae was conducted over seven days at Nogotirto Algae Park. The liquid organic fertilizer, namely Bio Ferti, was obtained from the Faculty of Biology, Universitas Gadjah Mada, and prepared to have doses of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 mL. For comparison, an inorganic fertilizer with the same doses was also prepared. The variables to be observed were cell density, dry cell weight, and growth kinetics. The culture medium conditions observed were temperature, pH, and salinity (the optimum salinity was 20 ppt). The growth kinetic analysis was performed mathematically using numerical simulations using the Contois and the Haldane models. This research’s results showed that Bio Ferti affected the growth rate of Spirulina platensis. With a dose of 2 mL, it became the optimum medium which produced the highest density and dry weight of 1.78x106 cells/mL and 160 mg/mL, respectively. Meanwhile, the inorganic fertilizer with a dose of 10 mL produced the highest density and dry weight of 2,13x105 and 80 mg/mL, respectively. The temperature ranged from 28 to 31°C, while the pH ranged from 8.01 to 9.02 for each medium. The suitable model to describe the growth kinetics of Spirulina platensis was the Haldane model.

Digital geologic map, petrography and U-Pb geochronology of the Río Santiago Shear Zone, southernmost Sierra Madre Occidental, western Mexico
Authors: Castillo Reynoso Juan Carlos , Ferrari Luca , Silva Fragoso Argelia , Loza Aguirre Isidro
Published: August 2022

The boundary between the Sierra Madre Occidental (SMO) and the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) is well exposed along the Santiago River, on the border of the states of Nayarit and Jalisco. This region includes a polydeformed belt produced by the relative motion between the Jalisco Block and the SMO, here defined as the “Rio Santiago Shear Zone” (RSSZ). In this work, we present detailed geological cartography, petrographic descriptions, and new zircon U-Pb ages that allow us to establish the stratigraphy of the region surrounding the RSSZ, providing temporal constraints to its tectonic evolution. In the mapped area, the base of the SMO stratigraphic column consists of a succession of massive andesitic lava flows intruded by felsic dikes and a felsic subvolcanic body of 27.5 and 27.2 Ma, and it is covered by a series of ignimbrites of 26.8 and 25.3 Ma. A red beds succession separates a second package of ignimbrites of ∼20-19 Ma, in turn capped by rhyolitic lava domes of 19.7 and 18.6 Ma and a rhyodacitic lava flows of 15.6 Ma, this Miocene succession is also intruded by a felsic body of 18.3 Ma west of the La Yesca dam. The SMO succession is covered by rocks belonging to the bimodal volcanism of the TMVB, emplaced between the end of the Miocene and the Pleistocene. The RSSZ developed through several deformation phases that occurred since the end of the Oligocene. The Oligocene succession of the SMO is affected by NE-SW and WNW-ESE trending lateral faults, NW-SE open folds and WNW-ESE and E-W trending reverse oblique faults. Some of the reverse oblique faults were later reactivated as normal faults. WNW-ESE trending normal faults associated with the Tepic-Zacoalco Rift affected the area south of the Santiago River during the Pliocene and Pleistocene. Normal faulting produced an accumulated vertical offset up to 700 m between the northern and southern regions of the Santiago River.

Published: August 2022

Abstract: Our project's primary objective is to use ML techniques to detect stress in IT employees. Our approach is an advancement over prior stress recognition methods that lacked personal counseling, but it now includes an analysis of employees and the recognition of occupational stress in them, as well asproviding them with appropriate stressmanagement remedies via a survey form that is sent out on a regular basis. Our system is primarily focused on stress management and creating a healthy and creative job atmosphere in order to get the most out of them through work time. This research focuses on the construction of an intelligent system that uses ML to determine if a person is stressed or not stressed. The data for this study was collected from more than 600 maleand female volunteers between the ages of 18 & 50. The acquired data consists of five (5) distinguishing traits (i.e. systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, glucose and gender). Employing Python IDE and sci-kit learn ML libraries, an autonomous system was constructed using ML techniques for categorization such like Linear Regression (LR), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). To find the ideal settings for each algorithm, Jupyter Notebook was used to improvements in service delivery using Grid search. The most important features connected to a person's stress condition are identified using feature selection technique. With an optimised training-testing average accuracy of 95.00 percent - 96.67 percent, the results we predict if one individual is stressed or not stressed after optimization.

The purpose of the article is to study a number of topical issues related to the relationship between international and Russian law in political, social and psychological aspects. It is emphasized that even extraordinary foreign policy circumstances don’t give grounds for a complete denial of international legal regulation, since this is a manifestation of international legal nihilism condemned by modern morality. On the other hand, it is stressed that the requirements of international law shouldn’t be absolutized. As a result of the research, the authors draw conclusions that in case of divergence of international legal regulations with foreign policy interests of the country, Russia has an opportunity to challenge the universal recognition of certain principles and norms of international law. In addition, the authors conclude that it is possible to abandon the previously assumed international legal obligations in the procedures established by international and national law and to use the tools of constitutional justice according to the current situation.

Published: August 2022

The theoretical breaking boundary of the composite elastic composite material consisting of two is otropichomogeneous layers was investigated [6,7]. Three-dimensional theory of elasticity and a fragment edhomogeneous body model were used to find the theoretical breaking limit [3,6,7]. The defects of this material, which has local defects, are of the same length hand is changing with the angle β. The purpose of the articles [10,11] was to examine the effect of theoretical refraction criterion limit values on the change of the angle β. It has been observed that the theoretical refraction limit values obtained for four different composite materials increase as the angle art increases. In this study, the change values with the β angle of the theoretical refraction limit obtained in [11] article were recovered from the artificial intelligence of the MATLAB platform by ANFIS (Sugeno) method. It was seen that the values obtained with the Anfis method are the same with the theoretical results.

Published: August 2022

A realização dos Jogos Olímpicos do Rio de Janeiro em 2016 teve investimentos, principalmente no atletismo, que estão distribuídos em todo o território nacional. A Rede Nacional de Treinamento é uma política pública anunciada como legado esportivo dos Jogos. Identificamos o convênio (n° 813831/2014), oriundo de uma chamada pública em 2013, firmado entre a Confederação Brasileira de Atletismo (CBAt) e o Ministério do Esporte como central nesta implementação. Utilizando a dependência de trajetória (path dependence) analisamos documentos, realizamos entrevistas e cotejamos com o debate conceitual do esporte e suas relações como negócio e consumo. Ao final, conclui-se que a Rede Nacional de Treinamento se coloca com uma proposta inovadora, que veste a mesma roupagem da política esportiva brasileira. Ou seja, não há ruptura com o velho modelo piramidal e o investimento que chega sempre para o topo e é irrisório para as categorias que mais precisariam deste incentivo.
Species Distribution Modelling: Challenges and Potential Research Areas

Published: August 2022

Species distribution modeling is vital to each essential and applied study in biogeography. Despite the sizable use of models, there are still critical conceptual ambiguities in addition to biotic and algorithmic uncertainties that want to be investigated for you to grow self-belief in version results. We become aware of and talk about five regions of inquiry that might be of extreme significance for species distribution modeling. The first and foremost challenge is rationalizing the area of interest concept. The second is advanced designs for sampling statistics for constructing models-thirdly, advanced parameterization, next advanced version choice and predictor contribution, and the last advanced version evaluation. The demanding situations mentioned in this essay no longer avoid the want for trends of different regions of studies in this field. However, they may be critical for permitting the technology of species distribution modeling to transport forward.

Published: August 2022

Aims. To provide an overview of the types of interventions performed by
community pharmacists and describe their effects on patients with type 2
diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Methods. This review was conducted according to the PRISMA-Scr
guidelines. PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of
Controlled Trials were searched for (non-) randomized controlled,
before-after, and interrupted time series design. There was no
restriction in the publication language. Included interventions had to
be delivered by community pharmacists in primary care and community
settings. The study quality was assessed using the National Institute of
Health tools. Results were analyzed descriptively. Results. Twenty-eight
studies were included representing 4,434 patients (mean age from 47.4 to
59.5 years, 55.4% female). Four studies were single- and the remaining
studies were multiple-component interventions. Face-to-face counseling
of patients was the most common intervention, often combined with
providing printed materials, remote consultations, or conducting
medication reviews. Generally, studies showed improved outcomes in the
intervention group, including clinical, patient-reported and medication
safety outcomes. In most studies at least one domain was judged to be of
poor quality, with heterogeneity among studies. Conclusions. Community
pharmacist-led interventions among T2DM patients showed positive effects
in LMICs, but the quality of the evidence was poor. Face-to-face
counseling of varying intensity, often combined with other strategies,
was the most common type of intervention. Although these findings
support the expansion of the role of the community pharmacist in
diabetes care in LMICs, better quality studies are needed to evaluate
further impact.

Published: August 2022

El objetivo de este trabajo fue conocer el nivel de concordancia entre ecuaciones de estimación con el método de 1 RM en una muestra de 30 jóvenes experimentados. Se ejecutaron cuatro ejercicios: sentadilla con barra libre (SEN), press en banco horizontal (PB), peso muerto (PMu) y press militar (PMi) teniendo un mínimo y un máximo de 1 a 7 repeticiones respectivamente. Se consideraron 6 ecuaciones de predicción: Brzycki (1993), Epley (1995), Lander (1985), Cummings y Finn (1998), O´Conner et al. (1989), y Abadie et al. (1999). Se calculó la media y desviación estándar, así como el nivel de correlación intraclase para estudiar el nivel de la asociación y el método Bland-Altman. Los valores medios de 1RM obtuvieron muy buena correlación en las ecuaciones de Brzycki (1993) y O´Conner et al. (1989) en el ejercicio de SEN, Epley (1995), Brzycki (1993), O´Conner et al. (1989) y Cumming y Finn (1998) en el ejercicio de PB, y Cummings y Finn (1998) en el ejercicio de PMu. La ecuación predictiva de Cummings y Finn (1998) y Epley (1995) también puede ser usada para calcular 1RM en el PMi. Para mejorar la dosificación de cargas, se recomienda utilizar las ecuaciones de predicción de acuerdo con el ejercicio que se quiera llevar a cabo.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Transgender health is a comparatively new area of medicine that has not been explored until the past few decades. In India, the doctors still do not have much knowledge in this area. This highly influences the quality of medical services available for the transgender population. The undergraduate medical curriculum does not include enough information regarding transgender health care. Methodology: 214 participants were included in the study. A questionnaire containing 39 questions was provided to them in order to assess their knowledge regarding the medical and social problems related to transgender health. The questions were in yes or no format and scores were given to each answer. Questions were in 3 sections: general social awareness, medical experience, and knowledge and perception of issues.Result: The median score was 22 out of 39, with a maximum score of 35. Chi-square test showed better scores on general awareness and perception of issues while poorer scores in medical knowledge of transgender health among medical students. Conclusion: The study shows that there is a huge deficit in medical knowledge on transgender health among medical students even though they may be aware of the social aspects and issues in the area. There is a need for improvement of undergraduate medical curriculum to include topics of transgender health so as to better prepare the medical students to care for trans patients.
Obesity Epidemiology: A Serious Public Health Concern in India
Authors:   Department of Zoology, Acharya Prafulla Chandra College, New Barrackpore, West Bengal, India., Madhu Nithar Ranjan
Published: August 2022

Over the past several years, India has seen the incidence of obesity double or quadruple due to economic expansion, industrialisation, motorised transportation, urbanisation, a more sedentary lifestyle, and a nutritional change to prepare dishes that are rich in calories. Many things contribute to becoming overweight or obese since bodyweight is influenced by various factors, including genetics, metabolism, behaviour, the environment, culture, and socioeconomics. When evaluating the risk of various diseases, the quantity, location, and distribution of fat and obesity in the human body are significant. Being overweight and having an improper fat distribution are linked to a variety of illnesses. Obesity occurs when a person’s weight exceeds their body fat percentage. Therefore, obesity has already increased dramatically in India as a consequence of these factors, putting Indian residents at risk for health concerns. Our study aims to bring awareness to the problems, better understand the problems, and record the incidence of obesity and overweight in the Indian community. Obesity education and public awareness may go a long way toward preventing these issues.
Nano Research - Is it Yet a Dream for Early Career Researchers in the Developing Nations?
Authors:   Department of Biotechnology, Pondicherry University, Puducherry, India., Selvasudha N
Published: August 2022

Early career researchers (ECRs) lack a long track record of independent funding or publications, and they typically walk a delicate line between presenting novel, cutting-edge work and being too ambitious. Despite their strong passion and commitment, ECRs fail to personalise as independent researchers due to a variety of factors such as a lack of expertise as mentors at the host institute, a low probability of being trained in cutting-edge laboratories, hidden assessment measures used in awarding research grants, and insufficient or no funding aids from funding resources. Regardless of the enormous hurdles that ECRs encounter, outstanding research should be sustained until the work is acknowledged.

Authors: Zhang WenJian , Ebrahim Ragab
Published: August 2022

The article explores the evolution of regional spatial differences and has important practical significance for promoting the coordinated development of regional tourism. The article analyzes the characteristics of the spatial evolution of the economic tourism pattern from 2010 to 2020. The study found that the development of the regional tourism economy is on the rise, and the development is not balanced. The spatial self-organization of economic development is getting stronger and stronger, and the spatial economic distribution is different. Then this article analyzes the main factors that cause this spatial distribution and proposes corresponding solutions. This provides a theoretical basis for reducing the gap in the tourism economy between regions and promoting the coordinated development of the regional tourism economy.

Published: August 2022

We use the panel data of innovation and entrepreneurship for global spatial autocorrelation and model selection testing. At the same time, we applied the Spatial Dubin Model (SDM) to empirically study the knowledge spillover effects of higher education campuses on regional innovation capabilities. Experimental research found that there are significant spatial differences in the innovation efficiency of universities. Specialized agglomeration can effectively improve the innovation efficiency and scale efficiency of colleges and universities. At the same time, the diversified agglomeration has no obvious effect on the innovation efficiency of colleges and universities. The accumulation of high-tech industries can effectively promote the innovation efficiency of universities. Human capital and opening to the outside world can effectively improve the innovation efficiency of universities.
Optimization of Color Matching Technology in Cultural Industry by Fractional Differential Equations
Authors: Wu Shaopeng
Published: August 2022

This article combines the fractional differential theory with the total variation method and applies it to defining cultural industry image color matching. At the same time, we propose a new image color matching denoising model based on fractional partial differential equations. The model achieves simultaneous denoising in the time direction and the spaceplane. Experiments have proved that the fractional partial differential equations method has more advantages than integer-order partial differential equations in denoising and reducing step effects. It can effectively improve the contrast and clarity of image color matching in the cultural industry.
