SERUM LEVEL OF ADVANCED OXIDATION PROTEIN PRODUCTS AND THE ACTIVITY OF SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE AS THE MARKERS OF OXIDATIVE STRESS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE
Authors: Polunina Ekaterina A.
Published: March 2019

Aim.The present work was aimed at studying and analysing the serum level of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) and the total superoxide dismutase activity (total SOD) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with a preserved and low left ventricular ejection fraction, depending on the stage of the disease.

Materials and methods.Patients with CHF (n=280) were divided into groups depending on the left ventricular ejection fraction (patients with a preserved and low left ventricular ejection fraction) and the stage of the disease (I–III). The control group consisted of somatically healthy individuals (n=60). The level of the activity of all three types of SOD (Cu/Zn-SOD+MnSOD+Fe-SOD) and the level of AOPPs were analysed in the serum by enzyme immunoassay.

Results.All CHF patients as compared to somatically healthy individuals showed an increase in the level of AOPPs and a decrease in the activity of total SOD, being more pronounced in patients with a low left ventricular ejection fraction. In the subgroups of patients with a more severe CHF stage, a statistically significant increase in the level of AOPPs and a decrease in the activity of total SOD as compared with subgroups with a less severe CHF were observed. Patients with a low ejection fraction of the left ventricle of I, IIA and IIB+III stages experienced higher levels of AOPPs and lower levels of total SOD than patients with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction of the corresponding stages of the disease. A correlation analysis revealed the presence of statistically significant correlations of medium strength in patients with CHF with a preserved and low left ventricular ejection fraction with the clinical manifestations of CHF.

Conclusion.The dynamics of the total SOD and AOPP levels, depending on the left ventricular ejection fraction and the stage of the disease, indicates the association of the CHF severity with that of oxidative stress.

Published: March 2019

The aim was to analyze the course of pregnancy and childbirth in a woman after a severe spinal injury.

Materials and methods. A patient, who became pregnant after a severe spinal injury, was examined and provided with obstretric aid. Her medical documents (medical history) and an individual card of the pregnancy course were examined.

Results. The outcome of pregnancy and childbirth was determined for the patient and the fetus after a severe spinal injury.

Conclusion. This case demonstrated the course of pregnancy and childbirth in a patient with serious complications arising from a spinal injury. However, despite the severe extragenital pathology, and thanks to the efforts of relevant specialists, the patient endured the pregnancy and was delivered by cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation, with the birth of a live fullterm newborn. Patients with post-traumatic changes of the musculoskeletal system should be allocated to a separate risk group. Such pregnant women should be subject to a thorough examination in the early stages of pregnancy by a traumatologist and a neurologist, as well as, if indicated, by other specialists. The management tactics of this category of women during pregnancy and childbirth should be strictly individualized.

Published: March 2019

Ganoderic acid T (GAT) has many pharmacological functions such as antitumor and antimycobacterial activity. However, to the best of our knowledge, no commercial high-purity GAT is available and the experimental and theoretical study of Raman spectrum of GAT has never been reported up to date. Therefore, in this work, GAT was extracted and purified from the mycelia of G. lucidum by ourselves, and its Raman spectrum was measured and analyzed based on density functional theory (DFT) calculation at B3LYP/6-311+G(d, p) level. The research on the molecular structural and spectral properties may lead to deeper insights into the functions and better applications of GAT.

Authors: Fischer Michael , Backens Jonathan
Published: March 2019

Channel Rendezvous between secondary users remains a key challenge to the development of cognitive ad-hoc networks. The decentralized and heterogeneous nature of ad-hoc CRNs makes guaranteeing rendezvous across multiple users within a short time difficult. Current research focuses on single hop networks or on multi-radio platforms to reduce the Time To Rendezvous (TTR). This work presents a Novel Multi-radio Rendezvous algorithm that leverages increasing availability of multi-radio secondary users to reduce TTR in heterogeneous and anonymous CRNs with multiple users.
TDARMA Model Estimation Using the MLS and the TF Distribution
Authors: Al-Shoshan Abdullah
Published: March 2019

An approach for modeling linear time-dependent auto-regressive moving-average (TDARMA) systems using the time-frequency (TF) distribution is presented. The proposed method leads to an extension of several well-known techniques of linear time- invariant (LTI) systems to process the linear, time-varying (LTV) case. It can also be applied in the modeling of non-stationary signals. In this paper, the well-known modified least square (MLS) and the Durbin's approximation methods are adapted to this non- stationary context. A simple relationship between the generalized transfer function and the time-dependent parameters of the LTV system is derived and computer simulation illustrating the effectiveness of our method is presented, considering that the output of the LTV system is corrupted by additive noise.
Data Driven Analytics of Road Quality

Published: March 2019

There is a lack of research into the impact of road roughness on ride quality and route choice. The scarcity of ride roughness data for local and urban roads is likely one reason for the lack of such studies. Existing methods of obtaining ride roughness data are expensive and require expert practitioners and laborious data processing by trained personnel. Sensors in most current vehicles provide an alternative source for road roughness data. This study emulated the data needed from vehicle sensors by using the accelerometer and gyroscope of a smartphone. The authors used data collected from two different bus routes to classify segments of roads into objectively distinct roughness clusters. The output enables map service applications to suggest better routing options based on expected ride quality and also quantifies road roughness consistently to enable optimized maintenance planning and decision-making for roadway assets.

The Internet enables world-wide communication for all areas of human activity. To deal with the massive data involved, companies deploy database products such as Oracle® Database, MySQL, Microsoft® SQL Server, and IBM® DB2. Databases are continuously under attack by intruders who probe for valuable customer and corporate information. Commercial databases have auditing support that facilitates after-the-fact review and analysis of data access. However, audit data collected has vendor-specific structure and content. Tools are needed to optimize response to security incidents and to proactively mine audit logs for vulnerabilities. This paper1 demonstrates some database-independent techniques aimed toward automating the management of a site’s audit information.

Authors: Etesami Faryar , Mullens Christopher , Sahli Ramsey , Webb Trey
Published: March 2019

Additive manufacturing technology has become a viable solution for making molds for plastic injection molding applications. The molds are usually made of high temperature plastic resins suitable for plastic injection molding. Molding resins have superior mechanical properties necessary to withstand the high temperatures and pressures of the injection molding process. It is known that high temperature mechanical properties of resins influence mold performance but it is not established which properties are most important and to what extent they influence the mold performance. Identifying the most important properties influencing mold performance would help resin manufacturers to develop better mold-making materials. In order to study the performance of mold materials we have built a device for measuring the mechanical properties of 3D printed resins including their strength, surface hardness, and wear resistance at molding temperatures of up to 260 oC. We then quantified the mechanical properties of three high-temperature resins along with ABS at the injection molding temperatures. This paper describes the test device and the results of characterizing the mechanical properties of the selected plastics.
Effect of Magnet Shapes on Metal Contamination Removal
Authors: Ohnishi Takashi , Okamoto Takashi , Watanuki Keiichi
Published: March 2019

Foreign metal removal is a key process in the quality control of food and pharmaceutical industries. Previously, foreign metal removal involved the use of metal detectors. However, in recent years, magnet separators have been used to capture small metal particles and to improve the manufacturing yield when installed with previous metal detectors. Currently, most foreign metal material is austenitic stainless steel because product process equipment are manufactured using the same in order to make them corrosion proof. SUS304 and SUS316L are used commonly. Small metal particles adhere to the equipment by sliding and other processes thus contaminating the equipment. Austenitic stainless steels are not magnetized; however, weak magnetization is observed through martensite transformation during sliding and collisions. However, it is not easy to remove small stainless steel particles in production processes that involve powder flow. In this study, we investigated the removal rate of small stainless steel particles by three magnets of different shapes under the same conditions.
Choosing the Best-fit Lifecycle Framework while Addressing Functionality and Security Issues
Authors: Faizi Salman , Rahman Shawon
Published: March 2019

Software application development must include implementation of core functionality along with secure coding to contain security vulnerabilities of applications. Considering the life cycle that a software application undergoes, application developers have many opportunities to include security starting from the very first stage of planning or requirement gathering. However, before even starting requirement gathering, the software application development team must select a framework to use for the application’s lifecycle. Based on the application and organizational characteristics, software application developers must select the best-fit framework for the lifecycle. A software application’s functionality and security start with picking the right lifecycle framework.

When it comes to application development frameworks, one size does not fit all. Based on the characteristics of the application development organization such as the number of application developers involved, project budget and criticality, and the number of teams, one of the five frameworks will work better than others.

Evaluation of Secrecy Rate in Cooperative Communication System
Authors: Yang Cheng-Ying , Liang Hsin-Ying , Huang Pin-Yen Huang
Published: March 2019

Cooperative system is a tendency for future communications because of its spatial diversity to improve the system performance. However, the security is a critical issue in the wireless application with a highly private request. Although the encryption schemes have been proposed to approach the secure purpose, those schemes need a lot of computing resource. It is not practical for the applications with limited computing ability, such as IoT. According to Shannon theory of perfect secrecy, the security could be implemented on the physical layer. Based on the positive secrecy rate, the evaluation of security, secure communication could be practical. This work concentrates on the theoretical solution to the secrecy rate in the AF mode cooperative communication system. Also, the numerical results with the proposed methodology are given. It shows the effects of eavesdropper could not affect the secure communication if the number of the eavesdropper is less than that of relays in the system. The appropriate relay assignment benefits the secure communication.

Computer Information Systems (CIS) is manifesting itself as an important discipline and career path in most universities with excellent career potentials. There is some little misperception and mixing of concepts in CIS with other closely related subjects. This paper is deliberate layout and manifestation of CIS in today’s world of industry and commerce. Specifically, we explain CIS and compare it with other subjects like Computer Science in particular because of the big overlap between these two areas. We will layout the main points and concepts in three dimensions: (1) What is CIS based on how we as faculty and educators understand it. (2) The confusion in CIS, and how people understand it, and think of it. (3) How official sources (AIS, ABET, ACM) explain it. We discuss and reason that CIS programs, which are basically IS programs hosted in computing departments, are not meeting their expectations very well which led to new disciplines developed in the past few years like Data Science, Data Analytics, and Business Intelligence. Finally, we explain and present, an investigation dimension using two methods of investigation to support our findings.
XACML Implementation Based on Graph Databases
Authors: Jin Ying , Kaja Krishna
Published: March 2019

Extensible Access Control Markup Language (XACML) is an OASIS standard for security policy specification. It consists of a policy language to define security authorizations and an access control decision language for requests and responses. The high-level policy specification is independent of underlying implementation. Different from existing approaches, this research uses a graph database for XACML implementation. Once a policy is specified, it will be parsed and the parsing results will be processed by eliminating duplicates and resolving conflicts. The final results are saved as graphs in the persistent storage. When a XACML request is submitted, the request is processed as a query to the graph database. Based on this query result, a XACML response will be produced to permit or deny the user’s request. This paper describes the architecture, implementation details, and conflict resolution strategies of our system to implement XACML.
A New Method of Calculating Squared Euclidean Distance (SED) Using pTree Technology and Its Performance Analysis
Authors: Hossain Mohammad , Abufardeh Sameer
Published: March 2019

One of the advantages of Euclidean distance is that it measures the regular distance between two points in space. For this reason, it is widely used in the applications where the distance between data points are needed to be calculated to measure similarities. However, this method is costly as there involve expensive square and square root operations. One useful observation is that in many data mining applications absolute distance measures are not necessary as long as the distances are used to compare the closeness between various data points. For example, in classification and clustering, we often measure the distances of multiple data points to compare their distances from known classes or from centroids to assign those points in a class or in a cluster. In this regards, an alternative approach known as Squared Euclidean Distance (SED) can be used to avoid the computation of square root to get the squared distance between the data points. SED has been used in classification, clustering, image processing, and other areas to save the computational expenses. In this paper, we show how SED can be calculated for the vertical data represented in pTrees. We also analyze its performance and compared it with traditional horizontal data representation.

Authors: Naito Daichi , Hatano Ryo , Nishiyama Hiroyuki
Published: March 2019

Careless driving is the most common cause of traffic accidents. Being in a drowsy state is a cause of careless driving, which can lead to a serious accident. Therefore, in this study, we focus on predicting drowsy driving. Studies on the prediction of drowsy driving focus on the prediction aspect only . However, users have various demands, like not wanting to wear a device while driving, and it is necessary to consider such demands when we introduce the prediction system. Hence, our purpose is to predict drowsy driving that can respond to a user’s demand(s) by combining two approaches of electroencephalogram (EEG ) and facial expressions. Our method is divided into three parts by type of data (facial expressions, EEG, and both), and the users can select the one suitable for their demands. We acquire data with a depth camera and an electroencephalograph and make a machine-learning model to predict drowsy driving. As a result, it is possible to correctly predict drowsy driving in the order of facial expression < EEG < and both combined. Our framework may be applicable to data other than EEG and facial expressions.

Published: March 2019

In the field of Human Computer Interaction and Psychology, it is accepted that spatial visualization (VZ) is one ability that can indicate individual’s performance on computer applications. Since users with different levels of VZ seem to prefer different types of user interfaces (UI), knowing a user’s level of VZ provides a great opportunity for application developers to design software with higher satisfaction and usability. In this paper, we proposed three models to predict a participant’s level of VZ based on the participant’s actions (taps) on the tablet screen while doing an address verification task in the neighbor- hood using the tablet. After applying the proposed prediction models with data of thirty participants, they yielded an optimal accuracy of 93.33%.

Authors:   The Korea Society Of Educational Studies In Mathematics, Yoo Jae-Geun , Park Moon Hwan
Published: March 2019

The Tangram is used in units that deals with the Pythagorean theorem or the square root in middle school textbooks. The aim of this study is to develop tangram activities that reflect ‘achievement standards’ presented in the curriculum and textbook contents. In this study, we considered the possibility of expanding the curriculum contents. To achieve this, we tried to derive ‘critical aspects’ of tangram activities by applying the variation theory. As a result, we derived ‘critical aspects’ which assists to successfully accomplish tangram activities. The ‘critical aspects’ identified included; ‘position relation between sides’, and ‘area-length relationship of pieces’ etc. The ‘critical aspects’ are also closely related to the Pythagorean theorem and the square root concept. The students had no difficulty in understanding and applying the ‘critical aspects’ derived from this study. In particular, we confirmed that it was possible to solve tangram of high difficulty by utilizing the ‘critical aspects’.
Foreign Policy Making in the Age of Populism: The Uses of Anti-Westernism in Turkish Politics
Authors: Göksel Oğuzhan
Published: March 2019

Many foreign policy analysts portray leaders as “chief negotiators” responsible for delicately sustaining a balancing act between the interests of their domestic constituents and the wishes of extra-national actors (e.g. other governments, international organisations, multinational companies). This depiction may accurately explain the behaviour of decision-makers in liberal democratic societies, but foreign policy making function differently in illiberal populist polities. This article argues that contemporary Turkey constitutes an illiberal populist regime where foreign policy making is subjugated to domestic policy concerns, and an assertive anti-Western foreign policy rhetoric is often systematically employed to generate public support to the incumbent AKP (Justice and Development Party) administration. Using the AKP’s 2017 Constitutional Referendum campaign as a case study, I suggest that anti-Westernism is an effective discourse to garner domestic support under illiberal populism.

Improving technological advances, the use of concrete as a building is very popular in Indonesia. Because it can utilize locally available materias such as crushed stone, pebble, sand, cement and water at a relatively cheap price. In everyday use is often found in construction worker housing projects that use waste water (Water Sewer) for the construction of concrete. This certainly requires a closer examination toward the quality of concrete produced. The method of data analysis begins with a cement investigation, coarse and fine aggregate. Concrete mixing uses clean water (PDAM) as reference and waste water (Water Sewage) from Unisla rusunawa building. From result of analysis which have been done, concrete compressive strength test result at age 7, 14 and 28 days with mixing of clean water equal to 13,68 Mpa, 18,51 Mpa, 21,04 Mpa, while concrete test result at Age 7, 14 And 28 days with Water Sewage mixing of 9.99 MPa, 13.35 MPa and 15.36 MPa.Keywords : Waste Water, Concrete, Compressive Strength

Human in everyday life cannot leave of the water. The need for water by humans is endless, especially clean water that is suitable for household purposes such as: bathing, cooking, even the most important is to drink. But the availability of eligible clean water is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, especially the water catchment areas that have been converted into settlements, making it even more difficult for people to get adequate water for daily use. Population prediction In Mojosari Village in 2026 is 2544 inhabitants. From the calculation of planning can be known service of clean water requirement in Countryside of Mojosari in year projection of 2026 minimum required debit is 160.450,87 lt / hr or 6,685,46 lt / jm = 111,43 lt / mnt = 1,86 lt / dt = 0.00186 m3 / sec. It is known that the current reservoir capacity is 18,000,000 lt = 18,000 m3. And the minimum required debit or 160.450,87 lt / hr or 6,685,46 lt / jm = 111,43 lt / mnt = 1,86 lt / dt = 0.00186 m3 / dt. So the existing reservoir is still able to meet the needs of clean water for the people of Mojosari Village. In this distribution plan use PVC pipe with the size of 50 mm intlet pipe, 50 mm main pipe, and branched pipe 50 mm.Keywords: Distribution, Clean Water, Reservoir, Piping.

Published: March 2019

Objetivos: Describir cuáles son los principales métodos para medir la adherencia terapéutica de los pacientes y determinar los más idóneos para ser utilizados en la práctica clínica diaria de la Farmacia Comunitaria. Métodos: Se realizó una búsqueda no sistemática de los artículos de investigación más importantes publicados sobre el tema en la base de datos National Library of Medicine, Washington, DC (MEDLINE: PubMed). Resultados: Los métodos para medir la adherencia terapéutica pueden dividirse en métodos directos o indirectos. Dentro de los métodos directos están la determinación de la concentración del fármaco o su metabolito en una muestra biológica y la terapia directamente observada. Los métodos indirectos pueden ser basados en la entrevista clínica al paciente (incluye la utilización de cuestionarios), en el recuento de medicación sobrante, en el empleo de dispositivos electrónicos o en el análisis de los registros de dispensación. El empleo de cuestionarios para determinar la adherencia autocomunicada por el propio paciente es un método muy útil en la práctica clínica diaria, sencillo y barato. Entre la multitud de cuestionarios existentes, la elección de uno frente a otros se basará en la patología que sufre el paciente y en la información que se quiera analizar (comportamiento del paciente, barreras o creencias acerca de la adherencia terapéutica). Conclusiones: Existen múltiples y diferentes métodos para medir la adherencia terapéutica. No hay ningún método óptimo por lo que se recomienda la combinación de varias técnicas. Las opciones más factibles para su empleo durante la práctica clínica diaria de la Farmacia Comunitaria son la utilización de cuestionarios administrados por el propio paciente y el análisis del registro de dispensaciones.
