The human emotional condition can be reflected in speech, gestures, and especially facial expressions. The problem that is often faced is that humans tend to be subjective in assessing people's emotions. Humans can easily guess someone's emotions through the expressions shown, as well as computers. Computers can think like humans if they are given an algorithm for human thinking or artificial intelligence. This research will be an interaction between humans and computers in analyzing human expressions. This research was conducted to prove whether the implementation of CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) can be used in detecting human emotions or not. The material needed to conduct facial recognition research is a dataset in images of various kinds of human expressions. Based on the dataset that has been obtained, the images that have been collected are divided into two parts, namely training data and test data, where each training data and test data has seven different emotion subfolders. Each category of images is 35 thousand data which will later be trimmed to around a few thousand data to balance the dataset. According to their class, these various expressions will be classified into several emotions: angry emotions, happy emotions, fearful emotions, disgusting emotions, surprising emotions, neutral emotions, and sad emotions. The results showed that from the calculation of 40 epochs, 81.92% was obtained for training and 81.69% for testing.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui presentasi diri guru Bimbingan Konseling (BK) dengan siswa bermasalah di Sekolah Dasar (SD) Negeri 01 Jeporo, Kabupaten Wonogiri, Provinsi Jawa Tengah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yang menghasilkan data deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa presentasi diri guru BK di front stage dan back stage memperlihatkan penampilan yang berbeda dihadapan siswa bermasalah jika dibandingkan dengan siswa tidak bermasalah. Di front stage (panggung depan) ada dua jenis elemen yang diperhatikan guru BK dalam menangani siswa bermasalah, yakni, verbal dan non verbal. Untuk elemen verbal, guru BK mengoptimalkan aspek lisan dan tulisan. Aspek lisan berkaitan dengan gaya pesan yang bertingkat, mulai dari gaya persuasif hingga koersif. Ada rentang waktu yang digunakan guru BK untuk perubahan dari tiap tingkatan pesan tersebut. Guru BK juga memperhatikan pilihan kata dan kalimat yang sesuai dari tiap tingkatan pesan. Hal itu dimaksudkan agar siswa bermasalah dapat memberikan umpan balik sesuai harapan guru BK. Untuk aspek tulisan mulai diberlakukan oleh guru BK jika tingkatan pesan lisan sudah mencapai tahapan koersif, namun belum ada perubahan dari siswa bermasalah. Adapun aspek tulisan merupakan kelanjutan dari tahapan lisan. Aspek tulisan dijewantahkan melalui pembuatan surat pemanggilan orang tua. Nantinya akan diadakan forum diskusi antara guru BK, orang tua dan siswa bermasalah dalam sesi berbeda. Sedangkan untuk elemen non verbal, guru BK menampilkan beberapa hal seperti mimik wajah, bahasa tubuh, eye contact, tekanan suara, pakaian, asesoris, gaya rambut, dan lainnya. Semua elemen itu dimaksudkan sebagai penguat makna bagi pesan verbal. Elemen ini juga merupakan pendukung bagi keberhasilan pesan verbal. Sementara itu di back stage (panggung belakang) ternyata ada perbedaan penampilan yang cukup signifikan ditampilkan guru BK. Mereka merasakan berbagai keluhan dari apa yang ditampilkannya di front stage. Ada energi ekstra yang harus disiapkan oleh guru BK dalam menghadapi siswa bermasalah dan itu mempengaruhi stabilitas fisik dan psikisnya di back stage.

Published: February 2022

The right to control from the state is a right that at the highest level is controlled by the state as an organization of power for all the people. This right gives the state authority as stated in Article 2 paragraph (2) of the UUPA. However, these various regulations and policies at the level of implementation do not harm the principles of the rights of the Indonesian people. The presence of the Job Creation Law which regulates land acquisition for development is considered pragmatic, more oriented towards investment and economic interests so it is considered to ignore the ideals and rights as well as the spirit of agrarian reform that favours the interests of farmers. The right of control of this state builds relations between the state and the nation, namely a kind of customary rights relationship that is raised at the highest level, namely the level that affects the entire territory of the country. The meaning of being controlled by the state contained in Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution is not explicitly formulated in its explanation. This allows the emergence of various interpretations of the meaning of this service trying to socialize land acquisition policies in the context of agrarian reform.

Authors: Katiyar Abhishek , Sharma Mukti , Singh Khalsa Mandeep
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Dengue has emerged as a notable public health problem in recent decades in terms of mortality and morbidity associated with it. The
clinical spectrums of dengue illness range from undifferentiated fever, self-limiting dengue fever (DF) to more severe, life-threatening forms of the
illness termed dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Recent reports have demonstrated elevated hepatic
transaminases or aminotransferases [Aspartate Transaminase (AST), Alanine Transaminase (ALT)] levels in dengue infection, suggesting that the
liver is one of the main targets for the dengue virus.
Aims And Objectives:
Ÿ To evaluate the impact of Dengue fever on liver function.
Ÿ To determine whether serum transaminases can be of prognostic value in dengue fever.
Materials And Methods: This hospital based prospective study correlated the liver function tests with severity of disease in children with dengue
fever. It was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics, Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Mullana, Ambala
among 50 children with dengue fever. The liver function enzymes were estimated and correlated with the severity of dengue fever. The student ttest was used for comparing the mean values between the 2 groups whereas chi-square test was applied for comparing the frequency using the SPSS
software.
Results: The mean age of the study population was 13.62±3.12 years with 76.0% males and 24.0% females. The mean SGOT and SGPT was
signicantly more among DSS group at baseline and follow-up. The mean SGOT was signicantly more among DSS group at baseline and followup (681.38±796.27 and 35.88±10.62 respectively) compared to DF and DHF at baseline (123.62±151.89 and 180.82±99.56 respectively) and
follow-up (26.28±3.90 and 30.77±6.19 respectively).
The mean SGPT was signicantly more among DSS group at baseline and follow-up (308.13±282.13 and 45.38±14.61 respectively) compared to
DF and DHF at baseline (67.93±38.37 and 106.25±49.72 respectively) and follow-up (35.31±4.38 and 38.62±6.64 respectively).
Conclusion: Degree of elevation of SGOT and SGPT levels can be used to predict the severity of dengue. Hence, both elevated SGOT and SGPT
level can be used as an early predictor of Severe Dengue fever.

Authors: Shukla Amit
Published: February 2022

Hypothyroidism and metabolic syndrome are well-associated risk factors for atherogenic cardiovascular disease. Insulin resistance, being a
common pathogenic mechanism in both, can cause a considerable overlap between hypothyroid and metabolic syndrome population. This crosssectional study was intended to assess the thyroid function in patients with metabolic syndrome and to investigate the association between
hypothyroidism and metabolic syndrome.One hundred patients with metabolic syndrome as per National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult
Treatment Panel (NCEPATP) III criteria and 50 controls (0 out of 5 criteria) attending the internal medicine outpatient clinic were included in the
study. Patients were subjected to anthropometry, evaluation of vital parameters, and lipid and thyroid prole, along with other routine laboratory
parameters. Students' "t" test, Chi-square test, linear regression, and multiple logistic regression models were used for statistical analysis. P value
<0.05 was considered signicant.Body mass index, waist circumference, mean systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, fasting blood sugar, total
cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were signicantly higher, and free
triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were signicantly lower in the study group compared
to the control group. In the metabolic syndrome group, 22 had subclinical hypothyroidism (22%), 4 were overtly hypothyroid (4%), and 74 were
euthyroid (74%). Subclinical hypothyroidism was signicantly associated with metabolic syndrome group (P = 0.032). There was signicant
linear association between TSH levels and total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol across the metabolic syndrome
group in the linear regression model. Multiple logistic regression analysis recognized the association between body mass index with subclinical
hypothyroidism (P= 0.006) in the metabolic syndrome group

Efficient and compact frequency converters are essential for frequency stabilization of terahertz sources. In this paper, we present a 3.5-THz, x6-harmonic, integrated Schottky diode mixer operating at room temperature. The designed frequency converter is based on a single-ended, planar Schottky diode with a sub-micron anode contact area defined on a suspended 2-um ultra-thin GaAs substrate. The dc-grounded anode pad was combined with the radio frequency E-plane probe, which resulted in an electrically compact circuit. At 200 MHz intermediate frequency, a mixer conversion loss of about 59 dB is measured resulting in a 40 dB signal-to-noise ratio in a phase-locking application. Using a quasi-static diode model combined with electromagnetic simulations, good agreement with the measured results was obtained. Harmonic frequency converters without the need of cryogenic cooling will help in the realization of highly sensitive space and air-borne heterodyne receivers.

Pan Indian Presence of RISHI MARKANDEY --- Glimpses into his Life, Victory over Death, Sites Associated with him, and Tips for Longevity and well being
Authors: Bali Dr. Sharadendu
Published: February 2022

The concept of One Nation in the vastly diverse population that inhabits the Indian sub-continent, is unique among world civilizations. This feeling of nationalism is as old as the Vedas, and was inculcated and nurtured by some ancient seers and saints. Foremost among them is Rishi Markandeya, whose imprint is not just found all over the Indian landmass, but also traverses all the way to Indonesia and Bali. Markandey is also unique among seers because he is venerated among all the mainstream Indian religious traditions, namely Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Devi cults and ascetic orders. From his birth in the Himalayas, to his severe penance in the dense jungles of the Western Ghats of peninsular India, to the ashrams along the Narmada and Ganges, and going upto the Eastern coast at Jagannath Puri, the Indian sub-continent is strewn with sites named after the great Rishi. The present paper attempts to list out some of these sites, and the accompanying geographical features, in an effort to highlight the immense accomplishments of the Rishi, encompassing fields as diverse as geology, hydrology, philosophy, herbal medicine, music, sacred chanting, goddess worship, astrology and horticulture.

The aim of orthodontic treatment in a bimaxillary protrusion case is to obtain an esthetically pleasing face with harmonious soft tissue profile, stable occlusion and pleasant smile. The etiology of bimaxillary protrusion is multifactorial involving both genetic and environmental causes like mouth breathing, tongue and lip habits and tongue volume. The following case report shows management of class I bimaxillary protrusion malocclusion in a hypodivergent case with extraction of all first premolars. The effective management of space without losing anchorage is itself a big challenge. The results produced a pleasant facial profile with attainment of good occlusion. The case required extraction of 1st premolars for correction of the proclined, forwardly placed and crowded upper and lower anterior teeth. Clinical and cephalometric evaluation revealed a Class I skeletal pattern and clinical examination revealed presence of an orthognathic facial profile, a horizontal growth pattern, increased overjet and average overbite, crowding in maxillary and mandibular anterior region, potentially incompetent lips, increased lip fullness and lip strain with an unaesthetic smile arc and a decreased nasolabial angle. Following fixed orthodontic treatment by removal of all 1st premolars and with retraction of anterior segment, a marked improvement in patient's smile, facial profile and occlusion was achieved and there was a remarkable increase in the patient's confidence and quality of life. The profile changes and treatment results were demonstrated with proper case selection and good patient cooperation with fixed appliance therapy.

The following case report shows management of class I bimaxillary protrusion malocclusion with facial asymmetry in a hyperdivergent case with extraction of all first premolars. The effective management of space without losing anchorage is itself a big challenge. The results produced a pleasant facial profile with attainment of good occlusion. The case required extraction of 1st premolars for correction of the proclined, forwardly placed and crowded upper and lower anterior teeth. The patient presented with an occlusal cant on clinical evaluation and presence of a facial asymmetry on PA cephalogram. Lateral cephalometric evaluation revealed a Class I skeletal pattern and clinical examination revealed presence of facial asymmetry with chin deviation towards the patients left side, an orthognathic facial profile, a vertical growth pattern, increased overjet and average overbite, crowding in maxillary and mandibular anterior region, potentially incompetent lips, increased lip fullness and lip strain with an unaesthetic smile arc and a decreased nasolabial angle. Following fixed orthodontic treatment by removal of all 1st premolars and with retraction of anterior segment, a marked improvement in patient's smile, facial profile and occlusion was achieved and there was a remarkable increase in the patient's confidence and quality of life. Facial asymmetry was corrected non-surgically, simply by application of appropriate biomechanics with the help of temporary anchorage devices (TADs).

Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND. The presence and drug correction of arterial hypertension (AH) with inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), as well as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its role in the regulation of RAS, can significantly affect the condition of a person with COVID-19. OBJECTIVE: to study the features of the functional state of the kidneys in patients with grade 1-2 hypertension who have fallen ill with COVID-19. PATIENTS AND METHODS. A subanalysis of patients with CKD, participants in the BIRCOV study (ARB, ACEi, DRi in COVID-19) is presented: 112 outpatient patients with grade 1-2 hypertension, 83 of whom had CKD. The participants were divided into groups receiving ACE inhibitors (group 1 – 39 %), ARBs (group 2 – 32 %), or a direct renin inhibitor (PIR) (group 3 – 29 %) as the main therapy of hypertension. The value of blood pressure, eGFR, albuminuria level were analyzed at the debut of COVID-19 and at 2, 4, 12, 24 weeks from the onset of the disease. RESULTS. In the first two weeks of COVID-19, there was a decrease in blood pressure with a gradual return to baseline values in patients of group 1 and group 3 (to a lesser extent). The use of ACE inhibitors in the treatment of hypertension increased the risk of withdrawal compared to PIR and ARBs due to COVID-19. In patients with CKD, higher values of mean blood pressure were obtained with similar dynamics. A synchronous decrease in eGFR and systolic blood pressure has been documented, more pronounced in patients with CKD, especially when taking aCEI. The decrease in eGFR correlated with the stage of CKD. With stable renal function in patients with CKD during the first 12 weeks of COVID-19, the urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UAC) increased without further normalization. By the second week of the disease, eGFR decreased with a reciprocal increase in the level of uric acid in the blood. The use of dexamethasone was accompanied by a decrease in eGFR in CKD stages 3b-4. CONCLUSION. When taking ACE inhibitors, the effect of lowering blood pressure was comparable to a double block of RAS: ACE inhibitors + ARBs.

BACKGROUND. Chronic kidney disease leads to a significant increase in the risk of fractures, which increases even more after kidney transplantation. THE AIM. The goal of this study was to develop simple, accessible criteria for predicting the risk of fracture in patients with a functioning kidney transplant. PATIENTS AND METHODS. The prospective study included 131 kidney transplant recipients (men-55, women-76) (average age 39.7±11.7 years). The duration of follow-up was 40.7±21.2 months. Bone mineral density was assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. To determine the prognostic significance of variables, we used stepwise regression (Cox model) analysis. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS. During the follow-up period, fractures were registered in 47 patients (35.9 %). Fractures were detected more often in women (42 %) than in men (27.3 %). All patients with fractures had lower bone mineral density and longer-term renal replacement therapy. Stepwise multivariate regression analysis showed that the combination of bone mineral density scores of lumbar vertebra and duration of renal replacement therapy best predicts the overall fracture risk. Adding the other variables to the analysis did not increase significantly their predictive value. A comparative analysis of the cumulative proportion of males and females with fractures confirmed a greater susceptibility of female transplant recipients to fractures. CONCLUSIONS. The combination of bone mineral density scores of the lumbar vertebra with the duration of renal replacement therapy best predict the risk of fracture in patients with kidney transplants and can be used in the choice of prevention measures.

Fibronectin glomerulopathy (FNGP) is an extremely rare glomerulopathy with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Sporadic cases of the disease are also described. Currently, several types of FN1 gene mutations are known that underlie conformational changes in the fibronectin molecule and lead to its deposition in the renal tissue. The clinical manifestations of FNGP may be very heterogeneous, but in most cases are characterized by proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, arterial hypertension, and long-term progressive renal failure. Renal biopsy is the main method for diagnosing the disease. Histologically, GFND is characterized by a lobular glomerular architecture with mesangial expansion and obliteration of capillary loops due to the accumulation of an acellular, periodic acid–Schiff positive, silver Jones-negative material. Immunofluorescence is usually negative. Electron microscopy shows finely granular or fibrillary mesangial and subendothelial electron-dense deposits. At higher magnifications, the fibrils have a diameter of 12-16 nm and are randomly arranged. Standard protocols for the etiopathogenetic therapy of FNGP are not currently developed. Improvement of clinical status and prognosis can be achieved by optimizing blood pressure and proteinuria control by renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system blockers. The recurrence risk of FNGP after renal transplantation remains uncertain due to the rare prevalence of the pathology. In this article, we report a 25-year-old man with nephrotic syndrome, which occurred after a previous upper respiratory tract infection. Histological changes specific to FNGP were found in the kidney biopsy. Genetic analysis was not performed. The absence of a family history of kidney disease suggests that this is a sporadic case of FNGP.

State departments of transportation (DOTs) have traditionally utilized fixed road weather information sensors (RWIS) to improve road safety during inclement weather; enhance the management of labor, equipment, and materials for winter road maintenance; and reduce adverse environmental impacts from road maintenance activities. Despite the benefits of these fixed RWIS sites, their coverage and effectiveness are limited because of their stationary locations. To overcome these limitations, recent advances in mobile road weather information sensing technology and cellular communications have enabled the development of mobile RWIS that can be deployed on vehicles to expand the limited coverage of fixed RWIS networks. Combining mobile RWIS, fixed RWIS networks, automatic vehicle location, and maintenance decision support systems (MDSS) provide DOTs with accurate georeferenced road and weather information that can be used by DOTs to optimize winter road maintenance operations and deicer applications. This report presents the findings of a research project funded by the Illinois Department of Transportation to investigate the effectiveness of mobile RWIS and MDSS in improving winter maintenance operations. This project had the following three objectives. First, conduct a literature review to gather and analyze current practices and latest research studies on mobile RWIS and their use for collecting real-time winter roadway conditions to optimize winter maintenance operations. Second, perform interviews with other state DOTs to gather and analyze their experiences and best management practices for the deployment and use of mobile RWIS and MDSS. Third, develop recommendations for a pilot study to evaluate the deployment and performance of mobile RWIS and MDSS in order to determine their effectiveness, implementation requirements, software/technology needs, operational challenges, and life-cycle costs.

This study aims to optimize the role of the police in investigating corruption in eradicating corruption in Indonesia. This legal research method is normative (normative research-legal). This study uses secondary data which includes primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials. Basic data includes human (legal) behavior both verbally and real behavior that has to do with law enforcement in eradicating criminal acts of corruption. The optimization of the role of the police in eradicating criminal acts of corruption is based on the concept of values ​​or basic ideas in the establishment of the Criminal Procedure Code which requires the realization of an integrated criminal justice system by carrying out professional investigations and meeting the demands of community justice by being non-selective and discriminatory. The realization of togetherness and harmony of relations between the components involved in the operation of an integrated criminal justice system in the settlement of corruption cases involving corruption, investigation and prosecution. Without the togetherness and harmony in the implementation of the authority to investigate criminal acts of corruption from the Police as a law enforcement agency that acts as an investigator of criminal acts of corruption in addition to the presence of the Public Prosecutor's Office, this will not play an optimal role.
