L’insertion comme levier de développement en milieu rural
Authors: Douchet Marc-Antoine , Warnant Achille
Published: April 2022

Cet article, qui repose sur une enquête de plusieurs mois conduite entre janvier et novembre 2019, vise à interroger la capacité des acteurs locaux à redynamiser un espace rural en déclin à partir d’une stratégie de développement territorial endogène. Le cas étudié est celui de l’expérimentation Territoires zéro chômeur de longue durée à Prémery (Nièvre), petite ville rurale marquée aux débuts des années 2000 par la fermeture de l’usine Lambiotte, principal employeur du territoire. Si le projet s’apparente à première vue à un dispositif classique d’insertion, sa mise en place a entrainé une reconfiguration de la gouvernance locale autour de la mise en œuvre d’un projet de développement territorial partagé.

In this paper, we study the local behavior of positive singular solutions to the equation

   \begin{document}$ \begin{equation*} (-\Delta)^{\sigma}u = u^{\frac{n}{n-2\sigma}}\quad \;{\rm{in }}\;B_{1}\backslash\{0\} \end{equation*} $\end{document}

where \begin{document}$ (-\Delta)^{\sigma} $\end{document} is the fractional Laplacian operator, \begin{document}$ 0<\sigma<1 $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ \frac{n}{n-2\sigma} $\end{document} is the critical Serrin exponent.

We prove in this paper the global approximate controllability of the 1-D Boussinesq equation-subjected to internal control and free boundary conditions-on a bounded domain. The key ingredients of the proof relies Coron's return method for the exact global controllability of the nonlinear control system \begin{document}$ y_{tt}+(y^2)_{xx} = u(t) $\end{document}, combined with some priori estimates for nonlinear weak-hyperbolic systems defined respectively in Gevrey class of functions, and in Sobolev spaces.
Homotopy comultiplications on the localization of a wedge of spheres and Moore spaces
Authors: Lee Dae-Woong
Published: April 2022

For an abelian group $ G $ and a positive integer $ n $, we set $ M(G, n) $ as a Moore space of type $ (G, n) $. In this paper, for a prime number $ p $, we are interested in the structure of homotopy comultiplications on the localization $ L_{(p)} $ of a wedge $ L: = \mathbb S^m \vee M(G, n) $ of the homotopy spheres and the Moore spaces for $ 2 \leq m < n $. We also provide a list of examples to examine the phenomena of homotopy comultiplications on $ L_{(p)} $.

Identification of propagated defects to reduce software testing cost via mutation testing
Authors: Lee Dong-Gun , Seo Yeong-Seok
Published: April 2022

In software engineering, testing has long been a research area of software maintenance. Testing is extremely expensive, and there is no guarantee that all defects will be found within a single round of testing. Therefore, fixing defects that are not discovered by a single round of testing is important for reducing the test costs. During the software maintenance process, testing is conducted within the scope of a set of test cases called a test suite. Mutation testing is a method that uses mutants to evaluate whether the test cases of the test suite are appropriate. In this paper, an approach is proposed that uses the mutants of a mutation test to identify defects that are not discovered through a single round of testing. The proposed method simultaneously applies two or more mutants to a single program to define and record the relationships between different lines of code. In turn, these relationships are examined using the defects that were discovered by a single round of testing, and possible defects are recommended from among the recorded candidates. To evaluate the proposed method, a comparative study was conducted using the fault localization method, which is commonly employed in defect prediction, as well as the Defects4J defect prediction dataset, which is widely used in software defect prediction. The results of the evaluation showed that the proposed method achieves a better performance than seven other fault localization methods (Tarantula, Ochiai, Opt2, Barinel, Dstar2, Muse, and Jaccard).

In this paper, we propose and analyze iterative method based on projection techniques to solve a non-singular linear system \begin{document}$ Ax = b $\end{document}. In particular, for a given positive integer \begin{document}$ m $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ m $\end{document}-dimensional successive projection method (\begin{document}$ m $\end{document}D-SPM) for symmetric positive definite matrix \begin{document}$ A $\end{document}, is generalized for non-singular matrix \begin{document}$ A $\end{document}. Moreover, it is proved that \begin{document}$ m $\end{document}D-SPM gives better result for large values of \begin{document}$ m $\end{document}. Numerical experiments are carried out to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in comparison with other schemes in the scientific literature.
An atomistic derivation of von-Kármán plate theory
Authors: Braun Julian , Schmidt Bernd
Published: April 2022

We derive von-Kármán plate theory from three dimensional, purely atomistic models with classical particle interaction. This derivation is established as a \begin{document}$ \Gamma $\end{document}-limit when considering the limit where the interatomic distance \begin{document}$ \varepsilon $\end{document} as well as the thickness of the plate \begin{document}$ h $\end{document} tend to zero. In particular, our analysis includes the ultrathin case where \begin{document}$ \varepsilon \sim h $\end{document}, leading to a new von-Kármán plate theory for finitely many layers.

Published: April 2022

Objectives: The aim of this study was to present the baseline results of a pilot project conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of lung cancer screening using low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) in regions with excessive radon levels in the Republic of Kazakhstan.Methods: In total, 3671 participants were screened by low-dose chest CT. Current, former, and never-smokers who resided in regions with elevated levels of radon in drinking water sources and indoor air, aged between 40 and 75 with no history of any cancer, and weighing less than 140 kg were included in the study. All lung nodules were categorized according to the American College of Radiology Lung Imaging Reporting and Data System (Lung-RADS 1.0).Results: Overall, 614 (16.7%) participants had positive baseline CT findings (Lung-RADS categories 3 and 4). Seventy-four cancers were detected, yielding an overall cancer detection rate of 2.0%, with 10.8% (8/74) stage I and a predominance of stage III (59.4%; 44/74). Women never-smokers and men current smokers had the highest cancer detection rates, at 2.9% (12/412) and 6.1% (12/196), respectively. Compared to never-smokers, higher odds ratios (ORs) of lung cancer detection were found in smokers (OR,2.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.52 to 4.05, p<0.001) and former smokers (OR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.06 to 5.06, p=0.003). The most common histologic type of cancer was adenocarcinoma (58.1%).Conclusions: Implementation of low-dose CT screening for lung cancer in regions with elevated radon levels is an effective method for both smokers and never-smokers.
How Effective Is the Birdsbesafe® Cat Collar at Reducing Bird Mortality by Domestic Cats?
Authors: Jensen Margaret B. , Willson Susan K. , Powell Abby N.
Published: April 2022

The global decline of songbird populations is a well-recognized conservation issue. Domestic cats kill an estimated 2.4 billion birds each year in the United States alone—more than most other anthropogenic threats combined. As many pet owners are reluctant to keep their cats inside, collar-mounted antipredation devices for domestic cats may be an important conservation tool. We examined the effectiveness of the Birdsbesafe® collar cover (BCC), a sleeve of brightly patterned fabric worn over a typical breakaway collar. The BBC's designers intend for the collar's bright colors to alert potential prey to the cat's presence. By combining data from two studies in New York (2014 and 2019) and one in Florida (2019), all of which used similar methods, we tested the hypothesis that the BCC effectively reduces avian mortality caused by cats of different ages and sexes in different hunting environments. We tested 94 cats over a 12-wk period in New York in 2014 or 8-wk periods in Florida and New York in 2019 during the bird breeding seasons; cats alternated 2-wk periods with and without the collar. Across studies, we recovered 2.7 times fewer birds per cat with the BCC than without (P = 0.006). The BCC was more effective at a temperate latitude than a subtropical one (P = 0.047). There was no difference in the effectiveness of the BCC for cats of varying ages, sexes, or hunting environments. Our results suggest that the BCC could be one tool within a larger effort to decrease domestic cat predation of songbirds.

Estimation of Metabolic Syndrome in Acanthosis Nigricans - A Hospital Based Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Philip Nicely E , Girisha Banavasi S , Shetty Shricharith , Pinto Ashna M , Noronha Tonita M
Published: April 2022

Background and Objectives:

Acanthosis nigricans is characterized by hyperpigmentation and velvet-like thickening of the skin. It symmetrically involves the neck, axilla, groins, antecubital and popliteal fossae, umbilical, and perianal areas. Acanthosis nigricans is a marker for insulin resistance and is increasingly found to be associated with metabolic syndrome. We conducted this study to estimate the frequency of metabolic syndrome in acanthosis nigricans.

Methods:

In this hospital-based, cross-sectional study, we evaluated 60 patients with acanthosis nigricans with neck involvement. They were examined for other areas of involvement by acanthosis nigricans. Axillary and neck severity was graded based on the scale described by Burke et al. Insulin resistance was interpreted using homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR). Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed according to the SAM-NCEP criteria. Collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics, Version 22 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp).

Results:

Axilla was the most common site involved in 51 patients (85%) followed by knuckles (55%). Metabolic syndrome was found in 78.3% of our patients, and 56.66% had insulin resistance. A statistically significant association of severity grading of axillary acanthosis nigricans with both metabolic syndrome (P = 0.001) and insulin resistance (P = 0.03) was noted. However, no meaningful association was found between the severity grading of neck acanthosis nigricans with both metabolic syndrome (P = 0.4) and insulin resistance (P = 0.08). The association of neck texture grading of acanthosis nigricans with insulin resistance was statistically significant (P = 0.005).

Conclusions:

Metabolic syndrome was seen in 78.3% of acanthosis nigricans. Axillary severity grading was associated with metabolic syndrome.
Implications of Dermoscopy and Histopathological Correlation in Discoid Lupus Erythematosus in Skin of Color
Authors: Ankad Balachandra S. , Gupta Akash , Nikam Balkrishna P. , Smitha S. V , Rangappa Manjula
Published: April 2022

Background:

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is chronic dermatosis manifests as scaly indurated plaques with erythema and peripheral hyperpigmentation. Few cases progress to systemic lupus erythematosus. Differentials include lichenoid photo dermatitis, Jessner's lymphocytic infilterate, and polymorphus light eruptions. It is difficult to assess the activity clinically. Histopathology is characteristic and evaluation of disease activity is possible. Dermoscopy is a useful diagnostic method in many dermatoses. Dermoscopy is reflection of histological changes. Hence, dermoscopic features may act as a tool for activity assessment. Here authors have pursued dermoscopic and histopathological correlation in DLE lesions to assess the activity of disease.

Aims:

To study dermoscopic features in DLE and correlate the patterns with histopathological changes in skin of color.

Method:

This study was conducted in a tertiary hospital. Clinically suspected and histopathologically proven lesions of DLE were enrolled in this study. The target lesion was marked and sent for biopsy after performing dermoscopy. Activity of the lesion was assessed on the basis of histopathological features. SPSS statistics for windows v20.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, USA) was used to analyze data. Chi-square and Fisher's χ2 test was used to statistically signify association. Cohen's kappa coefficient was used to determine the agreement.

Results:

Study included 110 patients with Fitzpatrick skin type IV-V having 120 lesions. Follicular keratotic plug [73 (60.8%)] and peri-follicular whitish halo [65(54.1%)] were commonly found in dermoscopy. Blue-gray and brown dots, telangiectasia, follicular red dots, white rosettes and white areas include other features. Interface dermatitis, peri-appendageal infilterate, melanin incontinence, melanophages and fibrosis were noted in histopathology. Perfect agreement was observed in follicular plugs.

Conclusion:

Dermoscopy patterns were well correlated with histopathological changes. Thus dermoscopy played an important role in assessing the activity of lesion.

Published: April 2022

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most common life-threatening complication of diabetes, especially in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Severe dyslipidaemia causing extensive xanthomas is very rarely reported in DKA. We report the case of a 30-year-old male with T1DM who presented with features of ketoacidosis and had extensive eruptive xanthomas. Blood samples drawn on admission showed excessively lipemic serum and marked dyslipidaemia after analysis. The patient was treated with insulin, rehydration and statins with good clinical outcome. The present case highlights the importance of serial monitoring of lipids and early lipid-lowering therapy in DKA presenting with severe dyslipidaemia, especially when occurring with cutaneous symptoms.
Pedagogical Relationships in Digitised Adult Education
Authors: Schmidt-Hertha Bernhard , Bernhardt Marius
Published: April 2022

With the COVID-19 pandemic the education sector is facing major new challenges and opportunities, e.g., changes in the pedagogical relationships between teachers and learners. Various publications have already inquired into the importance of pedagogical relationships in primary and secondary education, but not in adult education. Therefore, a closer look should now be taken at pedagogical relationships in adult education and their impact on successful teaching – both in the analogue and the digital realm. The person-centred approach as well as the approach of professional proximity and distance are relevant concepts in this field. From the perspective of person-centred pedagogy, respectful interaction with one another and the facilitation of an equal dialogue between teachers and learners are of great importance. The relevance of relationships between teachers and learners in adult education should not be underestimated – also with regard to enabling successful relationship building in distance learning.

Women, Ballet and Choreography. Unequal Situation of Female Choreographers in the Labor Market in Poland

One of the key tasks of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is to strengthen gender equality and the position of women around the world. Unfortunately, the artistic milieu is still far from reaching the goal set by the United Nations. When analysing the history and literature on ballet and looking at the contemporary repertoires of leading ensembles, it is easy to observe that women outnumber men, which, however, does not translate into the leading role of women in the sphere of management and creation in this artistic field (choreography). The paper is aimed at discussing the circumstances of women in the Polish labour market of choreographers in the context of the above-mentioned goal of sustainable development. The analysis is focused on the occupational situation of Polish female choreographers working in leading ballet ensembles and unravels the prevailing inequalities between women and men as well as the potential solutions to overcome them.
Using ArcGIS Portal to inform decision making for Integrated Coastal Management, KwaZulu-Natal
Authors: Goble Bronwyn , Hill Trevor
Published: April 2022

The coastal environment is one of the most utilised for human activities; providing a diverse range of goods and services such as fisheries, water purification and coastal erosion protection. This results in the need for effective, ongoing management and informed decision making, to ensure long-term sustainability of the coastal environment. However, Goble et al. (2017) highlight that institutional knowledge and capacity are currently limited to achieve the objectives of effective coastal management. This research considers the use of ArcGIS Portal as a component of a Decision Support System (or Info-portal) for coastal management in KwaZulu-Natal, through the development of an online, interactive mapping platform. This platform offers a portal to decision makers to access and interrogate data and information, thus informing decision making. The development of this tool followed a participatory approach, and engagement with end-users throughout the process to ensure that the tool meets users’ requirements. To date, the info-portal has been well utilised by both decision makers and members of the public that are interested in the coast. It offers an excellent example of the power of a spatial tool in improving decision making.
ASSESSING INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY IN BUILDING BLUE SOCIAL CAPITAL FOR MARITIME COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Authors: MOHD ZAMRI NUR SYAHZANANI HANI , MOHD NOOR MARHAINI , MHD RUSLAN SITI MARSILA
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this study is to assess the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the development of maritime communities and to build the concept of blue social capital. Blue social capital comprises a social network, social trust and development resilience that take place in the Internet. As individuals constantly accept ICT changes, it helps them to obtain information easily as well as increase their social capital. However, there are still a handful of maritime communities who do not know that the blue social capital may help promote their well-being and present them with the benefits of development. Lack of exposure in ICT is one of the reasons that some people do not understand the potential of blue social capital. The problem of cybercrime and poverty will also occur if the maritime community members are not trained to use ICT. This study uses a systematic literature review to examine the relationship between ICT and building of blue social capital towards maritime community development. The literature review analyses arguments between social capital components and ICT. An expected result is a positive relationship between ICT and blue social capital in the context of maritime community development. Future research should focus on blue social capital community empowerment in urban areas.

Načelo humanosti kao osnov budućnosti uslužne ekonomije
Authors: Janković Jelena
Published: April 2022

Leading by the the fact that the exploitation of modern means of digital communication and e-commerce greatly affects the quality of service activities, the paper analyzes the principle of humanity as one of the basic principles on which the service economy should be based. Thanks to the application of the principle of humanity in service activities, the service user becomes an active member of the service relationship, a person with full capacity of rights and freedoms, who participates in the service relationship as an subject, not as an object. This ensures the preservation of the self-esteem of the service user who becomes an active participant in the service relationship, with his / her own thoughts, behaviors, feelings, needs, and who is able to take his / hers place in the puzzle of the humane service economy. The paper gives a brief analysis of the situation in the services sector, as well as possible directions for strengthening the capacity of the workforce, in order to make a step towards the future of the service economy. Finally, the paper proposes the standardization of the principle of humane treatment of the service user, which makes sure the humane character of the service industry and the right of the service user to humane treatment. Of course, every conclusion should be taken with caution. However, the importance of the principle of humanity should be taken in consideration.

The main speakers were Aneta Willems (European Commission), Christian Schaible (EEB) and Prof Jerzy Jendrośka (Professor at the Opole University, Poland). The reported discussions focused, inter alia, on whether the revision of the IED would concern a radical change or merely fine-tuning. Main findings include that the IED does not create enough incentives for innovations and the penalties provided are still very low. A new revision proposal is expected in the beginning of 2022.
Soft Tissue Release for Varus Knees during Posterior Stabilized Total Knee Arthroplasty: A New Algorithm
Authors: Elkabbani Mohamed , Youssef Kamel , Ragab Mohamed , Ibrahim Omar , Osman Amr , Dragos Apostu , Tarabichi Samih
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Total Knee Replacement (TKA) surgeries are frequently performed surgeries used to treat knee osteoarthritis. Several methods of medial soft tissue balancing in the varus knee during total knee replacement surgeries have been reported. Traditionally, they included releasing the superficial Medial Collateral Ligament (sMCL) in severe varus cases by several methods. However, this release can create instability in the knee. The aim of this study was to create an algorithm for soft tissue release in varus osteoarthritic knees and to evaluate its efficacy in achieving intraoperative gap balancing without releasing the superficial MCL.

Materials and Methods: One hundred and five varus osteoarthritic knees who received primary posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasties between October 2015 and January 2016 were included in this study. Varus deformities ranged between 10 to 40 degrees. Sequential balancing was done into 5 steps: step 1 – releasing of deep MCL, step 2 – excision of osteophytes, step 3 – excision of scarred tissue in the posteromedial corner, step 4 – excision of the posteromedial capsule and step 5 – release of semimembranosus. The V-STAT® Variable Soft Tissue Alignment Tensor was used to ensure a balanced medial and lateral gap following each step. Once the gaps were balanced, no further soft tissue release were carried out.

Results: All knees were balanced without releasing the superficial MCL ligament. The maximum release step necessary was: step 1 (0 cases), step 2 (31 cases), step 3 (35 cases), step 4 (25 cases) and step 5 (14 cases).

Conclusion: Superficial medial collateral ligament should not be released during intraoperative varus knees soft tissue balancing in posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasties. Preserving the superficial MCL is beneficial in maintaining implant stability without any increase in the constraint level of the implant even in cases with severe deformity.

Introduction: Constitutionally, Indigenous Peoples are 'subjects' of natural resources which are the rights of Indigenous Peoples that have been managed and maintained for generations based on their local wisdom. Indigenous Peoples must be involved in investment activities through the involvement of Indigenous Peoples from the beginning of the planning stage to provide input and other involvement in share ownership of investment or business activities.Purposes of the Research: This research was conducted with the aim of knowing and analyzing the form of fulfillment of the involvement of Indigenous Peoples in the implementation of investment activities.Methods of the Research: The research conducted is normative. For this reason, the problem approaches used are: a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a human rights-based approach. The sources of legal materials used consist of primary legal materials and secondary legal materials. And then the legal materials are collected for inventory and used in the analysis of the problems raised.Results of the Research: The fulfillment of the rights of Indigenous Peoples to customary territories and rights to manage natural resources in investment activities has not been fully realized. The government must ensure that the fulfillment of the rights of Indigenous Peoples in investment activities is accommodated and not violated in the preparation of laws and regulations. So that the legal certainty of the involvement of Indigenous Peoples in investment can be fulfilled, in the form of involvement from the planning stage to the implementation of the investment.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a lifelong disorder that requires a fulltime commitment from the caregivers. Due to the complexity of care and complications associated with CP, the caregivers of children with CP require a good social support. This study aimed to determine the impact of CP support intervention on caregivers perceived social support.This quasi-experimental study involved caregivers of children with CP from community-based rehabilitation (CBR) centers. The intervention group (n=21) were given CP Support intervention through provision of information and social support from a multidisciplinary team including governmental, non-governmental organizations (NGO) and parents. It contains information enrichment workshop (IEW), caregivers support group (CSG), and WhatsApp group. The control group (n=45) received only usual care. Factorial ANCOVA revealed that higher level of perceived social support was observed in the intervention group at the end of the study. The intervention effect was significant after six months post intervention when other variables were controlled (p = 0.031). Findings of this study highlighted the favorable outcome of the CP Support intervention program on the caregivers’ perceived social support through provision of information and social support.
Disease, Illness, and Sickness: The Difficulty of Classification. The Example of Saka in The Malay World

Published: April 2022

Saka is a medical disorder that appears in the Malay speaking world. However, it is difficult for medical or psychological experts to denote whether it fits one of the well-known categories like disease, illness, and sickness. In psychiatry, the term Culture-Bound-Syndrome (CBS) was introduced to cover psychiatric abnormalities, and in the Malay speaking world, CBS like amok and latah are well-known. In this article, the authors argue that the Western concepts and categories might not suffice to understand and categorize emic concepts of non-Western societies. The authors conducted qualitative field research in the North-eastern Malaysian state of Kelantan. Kelantan is considered to be a traditional Malay state. The researchers observed and interviewed five persons with saka. They discovered that there are no uniform patterns of people with the medical disorder of saka.

Primary cardiac tumors are a rare but mostly benign pathology found in up to 0.03% of autopsies. Among these benign tumors, with an incidence of 8.5%, lipomas are often located in the interatrial septum. When located in the interventricular septum, they are considered an even more unusual pathology with an unknown real prevalence. In most cases, the diagnosis is made incidentally on cardiovascular imaging and confirmed by histopathological examination. They are more commonly asymptomatic or feature nonspecific symptoms, but these lipomas can progress with arrhythmias, valve dysfunction, heart failure, and death, which highlights the importance of cardiovascular imaging methods in the differential diagnosis and to guide appropriate therapy. This report describes the case of a patient with an incidental echocardiographic finding of a cardiac mass located in the interventricular septum, followed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging to better characterize the lesion and demonstrate its characteristics compatible with lipoma.

Background: The early identification of myocardial damage seems important in the management of patients with Chagas disease. However, it is unknown whether speckle tracking echocardiography strain and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging are promising methods for assessing myocardial involvement and fibrosis, respectively. Objective: To evaluate myocardial involvement in the mild chronic cardiac form of Chagas disease using speckle tracking strain and myocardial fibrosis by cardiac magnetic resonance and assess their correlations. Method: This cross-sectional study analyzed patients with the mild chronic cardiac form of Chagas disease (preserved ejection fraction) using speckle tracking echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance. Results: The study included 21 participants (women: 62%; age: 54 ± 5 years). The prevalence of myocardial fibrosis was 50% on delayed myocardial enhancement. The median global longitudinal strain was decreased (14.1%; interquartile range, 12.1–16.3%) in 17 patients (81%). The mean T1 mapping value was high in patients with Chagas disease (993 ± 163 ms). The T1 map was significantly correlated with the global longitudinal strain (r = 0.634; p = 0.015). In addition, the mechanical dispersion index obtained by strain was increased (>55 ms) by 84%, with the largest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (area under the curve, 0.696; 95% confidence interval, 0.412–0.981) for fibrosis discrimination by delayed myocardial enhancement. Conclusion: Myocardial strain and T1 mapping are early markers of myocardial damage in mild chronic Chagas heart disease. The mechanical dispersion index was high and the most closely correlated with delayed myocardial enhancement.

The Al-Kahfi Foundation is a social institution engaged in education and charity. The results of the preliminary survey conducted through observation and interviews with foundation administrators found that there were problems controlling children's behavior towards personal health, especially those who still lived with their families. The results of a survey of 10 orphanage children showed that as many as 40% of children had insufficient knowledge and did not understand the importance of having a clean and healthy lifestyle (PHBS), and 50% of children did not clearly understand what Covid-19 was and the dangers of the virus. The purpose of this activity is to increase PHBS knowledge and skills; Increase participants' awareness of the importance of preventing the dangers arising from the Covid-19 disease; Increase the willingness and ability of participants to prevent themselves from the dangers of Covid-19. The media used to support these community service activities are: Videos, screening of documentary films about smoking; Power Point about the extension material includes; LCD; Pre-test and post-test sheets. While the methods used are lectures, discussions, and questions and answers. Extension was carried out both verbally and by video playback. The PHBS video screening is intended to provide information on how to wash hands and wear masks properly and correctly, cough etiquette, maintain balanced nutrition, and carry out social distancing. Playing motion pictures is the method chosen so that the steps in preventing Covid-19 are more interesting and can be easily remembered by children and adolescents, so that their implementation is faster. Based on the results of outreach activities, it is known that counseling using the visual method or video playback takes a person's attention more than the lecture method.

To increase reliability of face recognition system, the system must be able to distinguish real face from a copy of face such as a photograph. This system introduces a distinguished approach towards Machine learning and Neural Network, in which we propose a fast and memory efficient method of live face detection for embedded face recognition system, based on the analysis of the movement of the eyes. We detect eyes in sequential input images and calculate variation of each eye region to determine whether the input face is a real face or not.
