Fostering a concept: Why cell identity matters
Authors:   Victor Babeș National Institute of Pathology, Bucharest, Romania, Hinescu Mihail Eugen
Published: November 2020

The aim of this editorial is to examine if and why a new journal focusing on issues concerning identity in general, cell identity, or cell-group identity could offer a new perspective or better vision in cell science. Recent advancements in technology (single-cell -omics) and the high amount of data and perspectives provided by the former experience in other domains of science (mainly social sciences) could offer at least some answers and, more importantly, allow new questions in biology and life sciences. Issues such as diversity, identity management in cells, and conservation versus change of identity, reprogramming, identity control, or identity recognition, may be interpreted or analyzed in a more complex manner if regarded form the perspective of the concept of identity. Deciphering what mechanisms stabilize or regulate cell identity could be crucial in understanding cell behavior. Learning how different pathogens or transformed cells hijack mechanisms involved in maintaining cell identity may offer, from a practical point of view, models or instruments to imagine means of control and maintain or manipulate cell identity during development, physiology, or disease. This opening article in the Journal of Cell Identity briefly mentions some of the emerging ideas concerning cell identity and is intended as a starting point for debate and analysis of more aspects concerning cell identity in health and disease.

Authors: Giri Kali Krishna , Singh Raj Kumar , Mamata Kumari , Shrivastava Ajeet Kumar
Published: November 2020

Modern communication system is based on wideband communication. A wideband antenna is designed in such a way that it will receive a wide range of frequencies. Microwave frequency spectrum is classified as ranging from 1GHz to 100GHz and this range is divided into a number of frequency bands. These bands are defined as L Band, S Band, C Band, X Band etc. To fulfil the demands of many users patch antenna is designed in these bands. Among different types of antenna, Microstrip Patch Antenna is most popular in wireless communication system. Microstrip patch Antennas have many advantages over other familiar antennas because microstrip patch antennas are of low profile, low cost, low volume, light weight. Low efficiency, low gain and narrow bandwidth of patch antenna create major challenge to a designer. Slots are created on patch for preparing antenna forwideband applications. In this paper, we have surveyed upon various types of Microstrip Patch Antenna, feeding techniques, design equation Substrate Characteristics, Simulation tools etc.
Survivor, Island of the Invisible Asians
Authors: Wang Ethan , Morton David
Published: November 2020

This study intended to explore Asian visibility, measured in contestant-to-camera speaking time, in comparison to representation in the three most recent seasons of CBS's reality television program Survivor. Previous literature indicated a disparity in appearance time between Asian and White television characters on primetime programs, although no studies delved into reality television nor measured contestant-to-camera speaking time. This study utilized a quantitative content analysis method to collect speaking time values for each of the 58 contestants across seasons 37 through 39, as well as a correlational method to compile and average these values based on each contestant's racial identity. The results indicated an apparent difference in average speaking time between Asian and White contestants. Although Survivor represents only one program, and the results are only applicable to the three seasons analyzed, the disparity speaks to the larger issue of Asian invisibility in other forms of media and the real world. It is apparent that television producers have a more substantial impact on television narratives and contestants' visibility than directly observable. An equally allotted amount of content in future seasons of Survivor would allow viewers to better understand the struggles and experiences of Asian contestants. In order to expand on the complexity and ubiquity of the issue, it would be ideal for future research to explore whether or not the same Asian-White visibility disparity exists within earlier Survivor seasons as well as other reality television programs.
The Role of Advertisements in JUUL Consumption: Analyzing the Connections between Different Stimuli on Advertisements and Teenage Vaping
Authors: Willis Natalie , Mindicino Melanie
Published: November 2020

In the last three years, JUUL Company has gained popularity through the media because of its party-themed advertisements and subsequently, its rise in teen vape consumption. While other studies have researched the increase of vaping in the previous years, this paper will draw connections between different stimuli on the JUUL advertisements and its effects on teenage vaping. In order to examine these connections, the author conducted a study to further analyze particular advertising practices used by the JUUL Company to attract the younger generations to their product; specifically, the study has two components that gather quantitative and qualitative data. For the first element of the study, the author created a survey that tests the effectiveness of different stimuli on the advertisements and distributed it to participants ranging from thirty-three years old to eighteen years old. The resulting age gap allowed the author to gather information from subjects with different life experiences and maturity. The findings of this section concluded that the participants within the ages of eighteen and twenty-two are influenced by their involvement in a social media echo-chamber; therefore, the younger generations do not even recognize their association with the echo-chamber but continue to fall into trend cycles since the trends, such as vaping, consume their internet feed. Overall, both adults and teens were able to acknowledge the strong presence of ‘Juuling’ in their communities and the majority labeled the JUUL posters as “party-like”. In the second element of the study, the author conducted group experiments with high school students ranging from fourteen years old to eighteen years of age. The findings of this section proved herd mentality and psychological reactance as the participants began to copy each other’s behavior and became attracted to the advertisements that were presented as ‘unattainable’. This study validates the effectiveness of the stimuli on advertisements when analyzing its connections to teenage vaping. Therefore, as a future solution, corporate lobbying in government for JUUL must be further restricted and minimal so teenagers will not be as exposed to JUUL’s marketing and in return, there will be a decrease in death rates caused by vaping.

In December of 2019, a novel coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan, China, and has since spread around the world, leaving a largely unsolved biomedical problem in its wake. Upon entry into host cells, the main protease is essential for the replication of viral RNA, which is what allows the virus to replicate inside humans. Inhibition of the main protease has been investigated as a potential strategy for inhibition of the viral replication cycle. Here, we designed a combinatorial library of small molecules and performed high-throughput virtual screening to identify a series of hit compounds that may serve as potential inhibitors of the main protease. In our design of covalent inhibitors of the coronavirus protease, we modeled a library of 361 peptidomimetic Michael acceptor small molecules, which are designed to engage the nucleophilic cysteine residue in the active site of the protease in an irreversible 1,4-conjugate addition. We then employed a variety of computational tools to determine the binding affinity of our designed compounds when bound to the protease active site, where we determined that cationic side chains are potentially beneficial for inhibition of SARS-CoV-2.
Causal Inference with Mendelian Randomization to Explore Risk Factors of Diabetes
Authors: Agrawal Amulya
Published: November 2020

Abstract—Since the dawn of time, health conditions have dictated life around the world. Gradually, through the advancement of medicine and technology, more and more treatments have been discovered to combat these conditions. One of these conditions is a disease known as diabetes. Even with a plethora of treatments being utilized by individuals internationally, diabetes continues to be the one of the leading causes of death worldwide [1]. Caused by a deficiency of insulin, a hormone created and released by the pancreas, diabetes renders individuals unable to effectively utilize glucose. With low amounts of insulin, cells cannot allow glucose to enter them and be used as energy for the body, leaving high amounts of glucose to build up in the bloodstream. Several factors have been suggested as a link to causing this insulin deficiency, resulting in diabetes. However, it is important to remember that there are two types of diabetes present, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. This report uses Mendelian Randomization to analyze contributing factors of Type 1 and 2 diabetes and explain the roles of confounds and genetics in the pathogenesis of the disease.
Sports Fandom: Reflection of a Cultural Mosaic
Authors: Sundararajan Siddharth
Published: November 2020

This paper explores the origins of sports fandom and the various factors that impact it. It reports results from an experiment which measures support of two NBA teams based in New York City.  Interviews of random samples were collected, totalling 234 entries, with key demographic features collected from each interviewee. The analysis reveals that there are differences in fandom with respect to certain demographic features, especially race, age, and location. It shows that Black people are more than 3.5 times as likely to support the Nets over the Knicks, and that young people are 2 times as likely to support the Nets. The further way from New York a person was born, the less likely they are to support the Nets. People living in Manhattan are less likely to support the Nets. Overall, the data highlights how personal choices can be influenced by factors you can’t control, and the results expose a divide within the melting pot in the City of Dreams.
American Corporate Capitalism's Effect on Adolescent Psychology
Authors: Weaver Abigail , Weaver Abigail
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this study was to identify how the cultural norms of American Corporate Capitalism affect the psychological behaviors of American adolescents between the ages of thirteen and seventeen.  Prior research shows a considerable correlation between consumerist habits and youth; however, studies failed to recognize the strategies corporations utilize to influence such behaviors in children. Data was collected through a content and meta-analysis in which multiple sources were applied to the focus of the current research based on the importance of the topics presented. Due to the nature of my research, I focused on the results of studies revolving around mental health, self efficacy, materialism, consumerism, and American Corporate Capitalism. Initial results showed a considerable link between the level of consumerism to a child’s wellbeing as well as how businesses utilize psychological tactics to adhere to those specific groups. The persuasion tactics utilized have been instilled in societal culture so thoroughly to where it nearly reflects a person’s self worth. Therefore, the conclusion can be made that the culture instituted through the system of American Corporate Capitalism has created negative behaviors within the youth of America. However, this is limited to describing how it correlates with psychological behaviors and does not focus on how adolescents choose to address it, whether through avoidance or acceptance.  Future research should focus on how children interact with the persuasion tactics of big corporations; what their neurological responses are that could be curtailed to avoid such negative implications.

The Role of Centralization of Power in Combatting Pandemics
Authors: Patel Param , Sandesara Jay
Published: November 2020

Advancements in technology have enabled humanity to be more interconnected than ever, strengthening our economies and promoting globalization. However, as seen in the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic, such a high degree of interconnectedness between nations and peoples allows infectious diseases to spread around the world at unprecedented rates. We have seen hundreds of nations attempt to combat the COVID-19 Pandemic in many different ways with varying amounts of success, from total isolation and quarantine to attempting to procure herd immunity through exposure. The People’s Republic of China, being the first nation to deal with the coronavirus pandemic set a new standard for disease identification, control and eradication by eliminating the disease completely within a matter of months. Method: This paper analyzes the coronavirus strategies of three major nations, China, South Korea, and the United States, by comparing the severity and types of measures taken to contain/prevent spread to the efficacy of those measures as seen in their respective curves. Results: From the analysis, it was clearly seen that having a high degree of power centralization with respect to the federal government as seen in China and South Korea along with minimal opposition from individual states, parties, and the legal system allowed for vastly more effective pandemic control as compared to libertarian nations with higher levels of autonomy for both lower levels of government and individuals such as what is seen in the United States of America.

Authors: Khattar Udit , Kumar Mukesh
Published: November 2020

In 2019, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) spread throughout the world. It was soon declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). Following the declaration, many countries imposed lockdowns and various other restrictions on their citizens. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the differences in the emotional responses of the people, living in different countries, towards the lockdown. This was done by conducting an emotional analysis of the tweets of the citizens of Singapore, Italy, and USA after their respective governments’ announcement of the lockdown by using an emotion-analyzing software. The results showed that there were significant differences between the three selected countries in terms of several emotional responses measured. The study revealed that the differences were influenced by sociocultural differences of the respective societies, the citizens’ experience of the pandemic, and the efficacy of the government’s response.
Approaching Stock Market Trading with Echo State Networks
Authors: Patel Dev , Patel Krish , Dela Cuesta Charles
Published: November 2020

The US stock market is an integral part of modern society. Nearly 55% of Americans  own corporate shares in the US stock market (What Percentage of Americans Own Stock?, 2019), and as of June 30th, 2020, the total value of the US stock market was over 35 trillion USD (Total Market Value of U.S. Stock Market, 2020). The stock market is also extremely volatile, and many people have gone bankrupt from poor investments. To minimize the risk and capitalize off the massive amounts of data on corporations and share prices present in the world, algorithmic trading began to rise. Trading algorithms have the potential for huge returns, and while many algorithms employ strategies like Long-Short Equity, very few attempt to use machine learning due to the unpredictable nature of the stock market. Many time series prediction models like autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), and even neural networks like long short term memory (LSTMs) often fail when predicting stock market data, because unlike other time series data, the stock market is almost never univariate, or follows seasonal trends. However, where other models come short, echo state networks (ESNs) excel, due to their reservoir like computing model, which allows them to perform better on messy, non traditional time series data. Using a combination of ESNs to predict prices, and clustering we created an algorithm model that can predict trends with over 95% confidence, but had mixed results accurately predicting returns.
The Impact of Vocal Features on Song Success
Authors: Ali Abdullah , Azzaretto Jeanette , Moltz Katie
Published: November 2020

The rise of popular music on a global scale has prompted researchers to predict standard features for creating the next hit songs. Previous studies have explored various acoustical/audio features and their relations to top-charting songs but fail to include the artists' voice in determining popular music patterns. As a result, this study had used a trend analysis to find consistent patterns over the selected period (1980-2019) by analyzing five distinct vocal features: vowel corruption, pitch, intensity, number of pulses, and voicing. Upon analyzation, a general increase in vowel corruption and a formant difference in vowels were observed. A stagnant level in intensity and extreme variation in pitch was also noted. Overall, this study was one of the first to find accurate trends, including vocal features in hit song prediction research. Among various implications, one would be introducing a new area of study regarding singing in contemporary music.
Improving Signature Forgery Analysis through Deep Learning Classification Algorithms
Authors: Gupta Kashvi , Gupta Shashank
Published: November 2020

This project seeks to develop a machine learning algorithm to identify a forgery from a legitimate signature, for use in signature verification in low profile financial crimes. This model will be trained on data collected on specific handwriting characteristics used by professional document analysis experts. Signature forgery in financial institutions was recently brought to light in the Wells Fargo fake accounts scandal, where employees opened 3.5 million unauthorized accounts, for which 190,000 customers were unwittingly charged fees. This product will help protect individuals from exploitation by providing a verification tool for company managers and executives. The hypothesis predicted if characteristics such as length-to-height ratio and relative slant were taken into account, then the accuracy of the model would be greater than 90%. Each data point consisted of 6 signatures, of which 5 were ‘true’ (produced by the same person) and the final was forged. The data was fed to a processing program that used mathematical formulae (standard deviation from the mean) to account for, and negate human error. Finally, using the python Scikit machine learning library, multiple models were trained on the data sample, using k-fold analysis. The most successful model, XGBoost Classifier, had an accuracy rate of 94.55%.

Published: November 2020

Organic manures are eco-friendly alternatives to inorganic fertilizers. However, a large volume of organic inputs is needed to meet the nutritional requirements of crops. Hence, there is a need to combine them with inorganic fertilizers to attain better crop yield. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the combined application of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth and yield performance of sweetcorn and on the profitability of sweetcorn production. The treatments were as follows: T0 - -1 Control (without fertilizer applied), T1 - Inorganic fertilizer at 90-60-60 kg ha -1 -1 (N, P O , K O), T - 5 t ha of vermicompost + 45-30-30 kg ha N, P O , K O, T - 5 2 5 2 2 2 5 2 3 -1 -1 -1 t ha of poultry manure + 45-30-30 kg ha N, P O , K O, T - 5 t ha of cow 2 5 2 4 -1 -1 manure + 45-30-30 kg ha N, P O , K O, T - 5 t ha of goat manure + 45-30-30 2 5 2 5 -1 -1 -1 kg ha N, P2O5 , K2O, T6 - 5 t ha of mudpress + 45-30-30 kg ha N, P2O5 , K2O, T7 - -1 Foliar spray (Fermented Golden Snail) + 45-30-30 kg ha N, P O , K O. The 2 5 2 experiment was laid out in RCBD with 3 replications. Results showed that sweetcorn plants applied with organic + inorganic fertilizers regardless of source had comparable growth and yield performance to plants applied -1 with pure inorganic fertilizers. The highest net income of PhP62,086.00 ha was obtained from plants applied with combined goat manure and inorganic fertilizers. This suggests that in sweetcorn production, it is feasible to reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers by combining them with organic fertilizers

No Brasil, o terceiro setor utiliza-se das pessoas jurídicas do tipo fundação como modelo de organização mais adequado para instituir parcerias com o Estado, no sentido de implantar políticas públicas nas mais diversas áreas, assumindo uma postura moderna de gerenciador, através dos mais diversos órgãos da administração pública. As fundações na consecução de seus objetivos se utilizam de recursos públicos e esse fato, impõe às mesmas a necessidade da prestação de contas para com a sociedade, visando transparência de seus atos e uma postura ética nas suas ações. Assim sendo, quando são oriundas do setor privado, a fiscalização das mesmas fica sob o controle do Ministério Público. Atualmente, por força da legislação a manifestação deste controle se materializa através do Sistema de Cadastro e Prestação de Contas-SICAP que tem por finalidade demonstrar a prestação de contas das fundações. No presente estudo, verificouse do potencial do Sistema de Cadastro e Prestação de ContasSICAP como um instrumento de transparência nas informações prestadas por uma fundação privada da Comarca de DouradosMS. Com a análise dos documentos contábeis exigidos para preenchimento do Sistema de Cadastro e Prestação de ContasSICAP, por entrevistas e por uma análise detalhada do sistema, realizou-se um estudo de caso, no qual afirmarmos que o Sistema de Cadastro e Prestação de Contas-SICAP é um instrumento de informação jurídico-contábil hábil para dar um retrato idôneo da imagem econômico-financeira de uma fundação privada.

importância dos precedentes judiciais na evolução do Direito Brasileiro
Authors: Pezarini Gustavo Luppi , Pitta Rafael Gomiero
Published: November 2020

Ao criar um sistema de normatização de precedentes, o Código de Processo Civil de 2015 buscou padronizar a utilização do sistema de precedentes vinculantes e trouxe a possibilidade de aplicação da motivação dos precedentes não vinculantes mediante a aplicação da ratio decidendi pelos juízes em quaisquer instâncias, em franca busca pela coerência das decisões judiciais. Com base na obrigatoriedade da fundamentação das decisões judiciais, permite aos litigantes demonstrar como precedentes – vinculantes ou não – apontam o sentido da jurisprudência, vinculando ao menos a motivação do juiz. Este trabalho apresenta os conceitos necessários para que se possa fazer a análise do sistema de precedentes adotado no Brasil, bem como suas limitações, alcance e efetividade. Por fim, procura investigar como a cultura de precedentes pode ou não ser adaptada ao sistema Civil Law, contribuindo para a segurança jurídica das decisões judiciais, tornando-as mais efetivas e a prestação jurisdicional mais coesa e eficaz.

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara dengan penduduk terbanyak di dunia. Ledakan penduduk ini terjadi karena laju pertumbuhan penduduk yang sangat tinggi. Kondisi ini jelas menimbulkan dua sisi yang berbeda. Disatu sisi kondisi tersebut bisa menjadi salah satu kekuatan yang besar untuk Indonesia. Tetapi di satu sisi kondisi tersebut menyebabkan beban negara menjadi semakin besar. Selain menjadi beban negara juga menimbulkan permasalahan lain. Banyaknya jumlah penduduk yang tidak disertai dengan ketersediaan lapangan pekerjaan yang mampu menampung seluruh angkatan kerja bisa menimbulkan pengangguran, kriminalitas, yang bersinggungan pula dengan rusaknya moralitas masyarakat.

Karena berhubungan dengan tinggi rendahnya beban negara untuk memberikan penghidupan yang layak kepada setiap warga negaranya, maka pemerintah memberikan serangkaian usaha untuk menekan laju pertumbuhan penduduk agar tidak terjadi ledakan penduduk yang lebih besar. Salah satu cara yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah adalah dengan menggalakkan program KB (Keluarga Berencana). Program KB pertama kali dilaksanakan pada masa pemerintahan Soeharto yaitu saat Orde Baru. Melalui KB masyarakat diharuskan untuk membatasi jumlah kelahiran anak, yaitu setiap keluarga memiliki maksimal dua anak. Tidak tanggung-tanggung, KB diberlakukan kepada seluruh lapisan masyarakat, dari lapisan bawah hingga lapisan atas dalam masyarakat. Oleh sebab itu laporan ini disusun untuk mengetahui seluk beluk mengenai penyelenggaraan KB di Indonesia, mulai dari sejarah, proses pelaksanaan, kelebihan dan kekurangan dari KB, serta dampak positif maupun dampak negatf dari pelaksanaan KB.

Stunting merupakan suatu kondisi kegagalan mencapai perkembangan fisik yang diukur berdasarkan panjang/tinggi badan menurut umur. Batasan stunting menurut WHO jika tinggi badan menurut umur berdasarkan Z-score sama dengan atau kurang dari -2 SD di bawah rata-rata standar. Proporsi balita dengan stunting di Indonesia masih melebihi batasan non public health WHO yaitu 20% dengan proporsi stunting tahun 2018 yaitu 29,9%. Proporsi stunting di pedesaan lebih tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan daerah perkotaan, sehingga perlu dilakukan upaya pencegahan dan penanganan stunting dengan mengangkat kearifan lokal yaitu dengan memberdayakan masyarakat melalui kegiatan gotong royong. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini diantaranya; tokoh masyarakat menyepakati akan dilaksanakan gerakan seribu (GEBU) dalam menggalang dana untuk membangun gedung posyandu, gerakan 3 m (memberikan informasi, menjaring balita yang tidak datang ke posyandu dan yang mengalami keluhan masalah pertumbuhan, serta memantau balita yang dinyatakan memiliki masalah pertumbuhan).

Di Indonesia, merokok meningkatkan resiko kematian 1,3-8,2 kali diantara penderita penyakit kronik. Merokok juga dapat menimbulkan dampak negatif bagi orang yang berbeda di sekelilingnya. Resiko yang ditanggung perokok pasif lebih berbahaya dari pada perokok aktif karena daya tahan terhadap zat-zat yang berbahaya sangat rendah (WHO, 2008).

Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan X yang berada di kota Tasikmalaya. Hasil dari survey pendahuluan yang dilakukan didapatkan data sebagai berikut : sebagian besar siswa diperoleh informasi pubertas dan permasalahan remaja dari teman sebayanya yaitu 87,3%,.Permasalahan remaja yang diperoleh adalah siswa laki-laki sebagian besar merokok (73,2%). Dan 90% siswa telah memilik pacar serta rata-rata telah melakukan aktifitas praseksual seperti pegangan tangan pelukan serta ciuman. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara dengan kepala sekolah menyatakan bahwa di sekolah tidak ada kegiatan PIKR (Pusat Informasi dan Konseling Remaja) yang dibina oleh pihak puskesmas. Dari hasil survey tersebut penulis memfokuskan meyelesaikan masalah merokok pada remaja laki-laki. Karena permasalahan remaja laki-laki yang merokok sangat besar. Untuk itu penulis membuat sebuah program untuk mengurangi dan memberantas yang merokok di SMK X. program ini bertujuan untuk menciptakan generasi muda bebas rokok dengan cara membuat Komunitas Remaja Anti Rokok.
