Dependable flow modeling in upper basin Citarum using multilayer perceptron backpropagation
Authors: Sebayang Ika Sari Damayanthi , Fahmia Muhammad
Published: January 2021

To determine the amount of dependable flow, a hydrological approach is needed where changes in rainfall become runoff. This diversification is a very complex hydrological phenomenon. Where this is a nonlinear process, with time changing and distributed separately. To approach this phenomenon, an analysis of the hydrological system has been developed using a model which is a simplification of the actual natural variables. The model is formed by a set of mathematical equations that reflect the behavior of parameters in hydrology. Modeling in this case uses artificial neural networks, multilayer perceptron combined with the backpropagation method is used to study the rainfall-runoff relationship and verify the model statistically based on the mean square error (MSE), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) and correlation coefficient value (R2). Of the three models formed, model 3 provides optimum results with correlation levels using NSE per month as follows, in Cikapundung Sub-Basin NSE = 0,990703, R2 = 0,995008, and MSE = 0,00014443, while in Citarik Sub-Basin NSE = 0.9500, R2 = 0.97592, and MSE = 0.0010804 . From these results it can be seen that ANN has a fairly good ability to replicate random discharge fluctuations in the form of artificial models that have almost the same fluctuations and can also be applied in rainfall runoff modelization even though the results of the test results are not very accurate because there are still irregularities
Momentum Backpropagation Optimization for Cancer Detection Based on DNA Microarray Data
Authors: Wisesty Untari Novia , Sthevanie Febryanti , Rismala Rita
Published: January 2021

Early detection of cancer can increase the success of treatment in patients with cancer. In the latest research, cancer can be detected through DNA Microarrays. Someone who suffers from cancer will experience changes in the value of certain gene expression.  In previous studies, the Genetic Algorithm as a feature selection method and the Momentum Backpropagation algorithm as a classification method provide a fairly high classification performance, but the Momentum Backpropagation algorithm still has a low convergence rate because the learning rate used is still static. The low convergence rate makes the training process need more time to converge. Therefore, in this research an optimization of the Momentum Backpropagation algorithm is done by adding an adaptive learning rate scheme. The proposed scheme is proven to reduce the number of epochs needed in the training process from 390 epochs to 76 epochs compared to the Momentum Backpropagation algorithm. The proposed scheme can gain high accuracy of 90.51% for Colon Tumor data, and 100% for Leukemia, Lung Cancer, and Ovarian Cancer data.

Published: January 2021

The purpose of this paper is to investigate management strategies that use Artificial Intelligence to perceive, capture, and process real-time data to predict and direct the performance of an enterprise.  AI systems can account for errors in human judgment through computational processes that supersede the capabilities of human intelligence alone.  Qualitative methodology was used to assess components such as fuzzy logic that can produce answers determined by multiple factors that can be integrated into a determinant solution. Quantifying the neurocircuitry of strategic management processes in tacticians will serve as the foundation for AI and management strategies engineering fusion.  When AI is programmed to motivate, interact, and make judgements based upon statistical measurements, the fusion of AI and management engineering can increase efficiency and effectiveness in the attainment of organizational goals. Results demonstrated the application of AI planning can range from directing large-scale machinery overhaul procedures, spacecraft mission planning, emergency response, assembling test procedures for rocket launchers, and delivery truck scheduling. A thorough understanding AI for strategic management engineering fusion and its underlying concepts is a prerequisite to competitive advantage in a global market.

Assessment of village chicken egg quality parameters were conducted in two agro-ecology and eight rural kebeles, in Chelliya district. A total of 120 households were participated in the survey. Eggs were collected from 15 households for determination of egg quality parameters and two eggs were collected each from indigenous, cross breed and exotic, hence ten eggs were collected from each breed. Total of 240 eggs were used for this experiments. The objectives this study was to assess some quality parameters of eggs produced under scavenging production system. The exotics breed had higher egg production performance (198.80+10.45) than indigenous breed (155.2+10.45). The price of egg, pullet, and laying hen during the study period were 1.91±0.02, 38.43±0.87, and 44.24±0.83 Birr, respectively. The average Hough unit was 69.13, 74.50, and 82.63 (SE=2.21) local, crossbreed and exotics, respectively and 74.17 mm for highland and 76.67 mm for midland (SE=1.81). Average yolk color was 10.69, 10.35, 8.62 (SE=0.24) and average yolk index 354.93, 358.07, 377.13(SE=5.96) for local, crossbreed and exotics and also 9.58, 10.20 SE =0.19 and 357.05, 369.70(SE=4.87) in midland and highland. Except for Hough unit, the highland had higher mean values for these parameters than the eggs collected from midland. Similarly, exotic breed has higher mean values than that of indigenous and cross breed eggs, except Shell Thickness and Yolk Color. In summary there is a need for improvement in egg quality of the cross breeds and indigenous breeds.

Objectives: This study was conducted to test the efficacy of Sofosbuvir in patients of genotype 3a who are treatment-naïve which represents the most common setting in Pakistan. Study Design: Experimental study. Setting: Mayo Hospital, Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. Period: August 2016 to September 2017. Material & Methods: We used an Open label and Quasi Experimental Study Design to test the efficacy of Sofosbuvir in 262 treatment-naïve patients. The duration of the therapy was 24 weeks. All patients were treated with Sofosbuvir 400mg once daily and Ribavirin 400 mg thrice daily. The end of treatment response i.e. ETR was noted at the end by determining the viral load by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Results: Of the 262 patients included in the study, 43 patients left the treatment either due to financial constraints barring them from following up or due to non-compliance. 11 patients left the treatment due to adverse events. 208 patients completed the 24-week therapy from which 201 (96.6 %) patients showed +Ve ETR. Two patients showed relapse both of whom had high viral load. Five patients were non-responders. The rate of discontinuation of Sofosbuvir due to adverse effects was low (4-5%). Conclusion: Patients with HCV genotype 3a have shown promising improvement in treatment response with Sofosbuvir as compared to the older treatment regimes. In contrast to the long duration of treatment and more disabling adverse effects profile of conventional regimes, Sofosbuvir, with its greater therapeutic efficacy and relatively well-tolerated adverse effects, is expected to provide a break-through in treating Hepatitis C and minimizing the incidence of its complications.

Setting: Madina Teaching Hospital, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Period: April 2015 to April 2020. Material & Methods: Female patients diagnosed as phyllodes tumour of breast were included and classified into benign, borderline and malignant PT according to WHO criteria. Borderline and malignant PT were further divided into 2 groups; Group A (Surgery alone) and Group B (Surgery + Radiotherapy). Oncological outcome based on local recurrence, distant metastasis and overall survival rate among different types of phyllodes tumour and those patients who received or not received radiotherapy was assessed. Results: In 5 years, 29 patients of phyllodes tumour were studied. 15 (51.7%) patients had benign, 8 (27.6%) malignant and 6 (20.7%) borderline tumour. Mean age of our patients was 39.5 years (range: 25-55 years).The disease free survival rate was 82.8% (100% for benign, 83.4% for borderline and 50% for malignant PT). Malignant histotype and tumour size >6cm were significantly associated with recurrence (p<0.05). In Group A, 4 patients developed local recurrence and 2 of them developed distant metastasis; while in group B only 1 patients developed local recurrence (p=0.2, OR=0.147). Overall survival rate was 93.1%. It was 100% for radiotherapy group compared to 88% for non irradiated patients.

Published: January 2021

Background: Hypertension is the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases and premature deaths. Hypertension plays a striking role in mortality and morbidity in case of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection; however, numerous studies have reported contradictory findings. Objective: To assess the relationship of hypertensive disease and mortality of COVID-19 infection and to assess the sex and age differentials on the association. Methods: We have conducted a systematic review of published literatures that identified the relationship between hypertension and mortality of COVID-19 infections. Nineteen articles were selected following structured inclusion and exclusion criteria for systematic review and analyses. A total of 21,684 hospital admitted COVID-19 patients were included in this review and meta-analysis from 19 studies. The studies covered the six months of the pandemic from December 2019 to May 2020. Results: In the pooled analysis, the median age of patients was 58 years, and the proportion of male patients was 58.8%. In contrast, we estimated 33.26% of hypertensive and 19.16% of diabetes mellitus patients in the studies. Hypertension was found to be associated with COVID-19 mortality (“Risk ratio (RR) = 1.45, [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.35 - 1.55]; I2 = 77.1%, p - value < 0.001”). The association in the meta-regression was affected by sex (p - value = 0.050). The association was found to be stronger in the studies with males ≥ 55% and age ≥ 55 years (“RR = 1.65, [95% CI: 1.52 - 1.78]; I2 = 77.1%, p - value < 0.001”) compared to male < 55% or age < 55 years (“RR = 1.11, [95% CI: 0.94 - 1.28]; I2 = 72.2%, p - value < 0.001”). Conclusion: Hypertension was significantly strong associated with COVID-19 mortality which may account for the contradiction in the many studies. The association between hypertension and mortality was affected by sex and there were significantly higher fatalities among older male patients.

The term 'dietary fiber' (DF) was first presented in the 1950s, alluding to plant cell divided materials; later it was utilized to portray a class of plant-started polysaccharides, which can't be processed and retained in the gastrointestinal plot. Dietary fiber is seen as a physiologically torpid material, and although the best glycemic list building and properties of various fiber sources have for a long while been recognized. Dietary fiber isn't just attractive for its wholesome properties, yet additionally for its useful and mechanical properties. Dietary fiber can be classiﬁed in many different ways such as structure and solubility. Based on solubility, they can be divided into soluble or insoluble Dietary Fibres. Soluble Dietary Fibres incorporate oligosaccharides, including fructooligosaccharide (FOS), gelatins, β- glucans (oat and grain grains), galactomannan gums, alginate, and psyllium. Dietary fiber incorporates all non-starch polysaccharides impervious to processing in the small digestive tract and fermentable in the internal organ. Soluble dietary fibres are generally present in plants including agave, garlic, onions, and wheat. Insoluble strands, similar to those found in wheat, grain, vegetables, and organic products. Dietary Fiber analysis is regarded as one of the most tedious assays used in the food industry for nutritional labeling, quality control, and R&D purposes. Recently the food industry has investigated ways of improving the overall nutritional balance of carbohydrate-rich foods and focused on increasing their dietary fiber. This review article reports is evidence regarding fiber enrichment of cereal foods and looks out for future trends in enriched dietary fiber products.

“God is my bosom buddy”: experiencing faith and the role of ethnicity in Roma and Kaale missionizing among Roma in Estonia and Latvia
Authors: Roht-Yilmaz Eva-Liisa
Published: January 2021

This article draws on ethnographic fieldwork materials in the form of participant observation and interviews and looks at the mission encounter between the Kaale (Finnish Roma) missionaries and the traditionally Lutheran, Russian Orthodox or Catholic Roma in Estonia and the Vidzeme region in Latvia. The aim of the article is to discuss the role of ethnicity in the mission work conducted by the Kaale and by the local Roma. I demonstrate how the usage of ethnic elements and a culture specific approach in mission relates to bodily and emotionally experiencing God’s presence among the born-again Roma community in this region and how it impacts the success of the mission. Pentecostalism is known for its promise of equality of all peoples before God and at the same time for accommodating its proselytizing message to different conditions, fitting its mission to the local people and situation. This becomes also apparent in the current case where in the multicultural and multilingual mission setting sensations and aesthetics take up an especially important role.

Our study stems from the ongoing public discourse on urbanisation, especially as it pertains to growing and declining regions. Regional development and policies reflect narratives that are based on different value judgements. The growth narrative, which justifies centralising regional policies, has gained an almost paradigmatic standing. On the other hand, the place-based narrative, presently on the rise in academic and political forums, draws attention to local geographies and institutions as development potentials for regions and municipalities of all sizes. The study looks at both of these two narratives, with a focus on the latter. We briefly analyse recent research and policy papers with an aim to find answers to our main question: What kind of conceptual means do we need to interpret and implement place-based regional strategies? On this basis, we introduce a model of multilevel socio-technical networks for dealing with regional and urban development that is complex and uneven.

The use of modern roundabout as an intersection treatment is a popular choice. To increase the capacity, large multi-lane roundabout has been implemented to solve traffic congestions. Comparatively to small single-lane roundabouts, where many studies have been devoted to, the maneuver at multi-lane roundabout is a highly complex situation due to drivers’ behavior in lane choosing. Little is known on the drivers’ behavior at large multilane roundabouts. This paper aims to explore the drivers’ lane choice behavior and its impact on the performance of large multi-lane roundabout. Traffic data were collected at three-lane roundabout on a normal day at peak traffic hours by using voice recorders and video cameras. Drivers’ behavior had been characterized by assessing their lane choices from entry lanes to circulating lanes and from circulating lanes to exit lanes. Two models of drivers’ lane choices were generated, the first representing reality and the second depicting standard roundabout lane discipline. Both models had been analyzed by using SIDRA Intersection software. Results indicated that the large number of lanes provides high freedom for drivers on their behavior which cannot be fully controlled. Also, drivers tend to follow the natural movement path to go through the roundabout correctly. Lane discipline marking is effective for multi-lane roundabout especially for roundabout with equal number of entry and circulating lanes in improving the traffic performance.

В ходе открытого рандомизированного исследования изучена безопасность и переносимость препарата реамберин (ООО «НТФФ «ПОЛИСАН») с различными режимами дозирования, а также фармакокинетика препарата при внутривенном введении объемом 2000 мл со скоростью 10 мл/мин у здоровых добровольцев. В исследование включено 78 здоровых добровольцев мужского пола в возрасте от 18 до 45 лет, которые были рандомизированы на 2 группы: группа 1 – 39 добровольцев, получавших реамберин объемом 2000 мл со скоростью 10 мл/мин; группа 2 – 39 добровольцев, получавших препарат объемом 1000 мл со скоростью 15 мл/мин. Результаты проведенного исследования показали благоприятный профиль безопасности и удовлетворительную переносимость реамберина при исследуемых режимах дозирования. Оценка нежела-тельных побочных эффектов у добровольцев группы 1 показала 23 из 70 нежелательных явлений (32,9 %), а в группе 2 – 47 из 70 (67,1 %). При анализе нежелательных эффектов по органам и системам было установлено, что в группе 2 доля нежелательных явлений при оценке кожных покровов и слизистых, а также сердечно-сосудистой системы была достоверно больше, чем в группе 1, и составила 46,2 %, в сравнении с 12,8 % (p = 0,024), а также 15,4 % в сравнении с 0 % (p = 0,025), соответственно. По остальным изучаемым органам и системам, включая отклонения лабораторных показателей, значимых различий между группами не установлено. Значения фармакокинетических показателей для янтарной кислоты по медиане составили: Cmax — 62,08 мкг/мл; Tmax — 2,50 ч; AUC0–24 – 196,82 (мкг  ч)/мл; AUC0–∞ — 198,14 (мкг  ч)/мл; AUMC0–24 – 433,80 (мкг  ч2)/мл; MRT — 2,13 ч; T1/2 – 1,47 ч; Vdss — 113,17 л и Clb — 53,30 л/ч. Установлено, что фармакокинетическая модель янтарной кислоты соответствует однокамерной модели, т.е. вещество быстро и равномерно распределяется по всему объему крови добровольцев и переносится обратно из кровотока в ткани, а ограничивающее влияние периферических камер незначительно и может не учитываться.

Bono temel bir ilişkiye dayanılarak verilir bu nedenle her kambiyo taahhüdünün altında temel bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Ancak bononun üzerinde borcun sebebi gösterilmez. Borcun sebebi olan temel ilişkiyi gösteren bir açıklama senet üzerinde yapılamaz. Dolayısıyla bono borcun sebebi olan temel ilişki ile ilintili hale getirilemez. Aksi halde bono geçersiz olur. Bononun hamili taahhüdün sebebini açıklamak ve bunu ispatlamak zorunda değildir. Tam aksine borçlu, böyle bir borcun var olmadığını iddia ediyorsa bu durumu ispatlamak zorundadır. Bononun ta’lili bono için yeni sebep göstermek anlamındadır. Yargıtay bononun ta’lili kavramını ispat yükünün

The paper considers the model "Learning & Development" (L&D), which during 2017-2020 was used and tested at the Energy Faculty of the Kherson Branch of the Admiral Makarov National University of Shipbuilding (KB NUS). An appropriate information environment has been created, in which six components of information support have been implemented. The practical tasks to be solved using the L&D model are considered, the scheme of subjective access to information environment resources at different levels is developed and implemented in practice. In the educational process, the use of the traditional model of learning using PowerPoint, tutorials and handouts has been significantly reduced. Instead, there was a predominant use of internal (university) and general Internet systems, podcasts, interactive web-conferences, etc. Thanks to the introduction of the L&D model, the problem of improving and optimizing information and analytical support for all specialties of the energy engineering faculty of KB NUS has been solved. The results of the application of the L&D model in the educational process were studied in two areas: by expert assessment of the effectiveness of its impact on students' learning activities and by the results of employment of graduates. Based on the results of the expert evaluation, a comparison of learning outcomes in the experimental (EG) and control (CG) groups was performed on seven indicators. According to these indicators, the criterion score of the L&D model was defined as "good" and "excellent". Comparative data on the success of training in the experimental and control groups show that the indicators of learning outcomes in the EG level of compliance with professional competencies is higher than in the CG. It was found that EG graduates are more in demand by employers than CG. The obtained positive result of the application of the L&D model in the educational environment of the Technical University in Ukraine fully corresponds to the data of the application of such a model in vocational and business programs in Europe, America, Australia and others. Its use allows to improve the general level of computer and information support of all disciplines, to expand the computer and information competence of students, to increase the economic demand for graduates and to improve their employment.

Authors: USLU Hande , TOSUN Mesude , DOĞAN Sevtap
Published: January 2021

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kocaeli Üniversitesi’nde Mart-Haziran 2020 tarihleri arasında gerçek zamanlı ters transkriptaz-polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu (RT-PCR) testi pozitif olan koronavirüs hastalığı 2019’un (COVID-19) toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) görüntüleme bulguları ve farklılıklarını değerlendirmektir.
Yöntem: Belirtilen tarihlerde COVID-19 şüphesi ile başvuran 1875 hastadan RT-PCR testi pozitif olan 189 hasta değerlendirildi. Dahil etme kriterlerine uygun 114 hastanın sosyodemografik verileri, semptom başlangıcı ile BT çekimi arasındaki süre, BT’deki akciğer bulguları Microsoft Office Excel'e kaydedildi. BT bulguları Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)’nın önerdiği raporlama diline uygun kategorize edildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya dahil olan 114 hastanın 52’si (%45,6) kadın, 62’si (%54,4) erkekti. Tüm hastaların yaş ortalaması 46,4 (±17,2) olup 41 hastada (%35,9) tipik görünüm, 3 hastada (%2,6) atipik görünüm, 18 hastada (%15,7) belirsiz görünüm, 52 hastada (%45,6) ise normal BT bulguları mevcuttu. BT bulguları olan 62 hastanın 42’sinde (%67,7) bilateral akciğer tutulumu, 20’sinde (%32,3) unilateral akciğer tutulumu mevcuttu.15 hastada (%24,2) tek akciğer lobu tutulumu, 47 hastada (%75,8) birden fazla lob tutulumu izlendi. Tutulan loblardan en sık alt loblarda tutulum mevcuttu (%77,4, n=48). Hastaların %3,2’sinde (n=2) santral buzlu cam opasiteleri mevcut iken %96,8’inde (n=60) periferal buzlu cam opasiteleri izlendi. COVID-19 BT duyarlılığı %42,7 idi.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda COVID-19’un BT bulguları literatürle benzer şekilde multiple, bilateral ve periferal yerleşimli buzlu cam opasiteleri şeklinde iken duyarlılığı yeterli düzeyde değildir. Bu nedenle özellikle hastalığın erken dönemlerinde BT bulgusunun olmaması hastalığı dışlatmamalıdır.

Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the current literature on mindfulness-based school interventions (MBSIs) by evaluating evidence across specific outcomes for youth. Methods: We evaluated 77 studies with a total sample of 12,358 students across five continents, assessing the quality of each study through a robust coding system for evidence-based guidelines. Coders rated each study numerically per study design as 1++ (RCT with a very low risk of bias) to 4 (expert opinion) and across studies for the corresponding evidence letter grade, from highest quality (‘A Grade’) to lowest quality (‘D Grade’) evidence. Results: The highest quality evidence (‘A Grade’) across outcomes indicated that MBSIs increased prosocial behavior, resilience, executive function, attention and mindfulness, and decreased anxiety, attention problems/ADHD behaviors and conduct behaviors. The highest quality evidence for wellbeing was split, with some studies showing increased wellbeing and some showing no improvements. The highest quality evidence suggests MBSIs have a null effect on depression symptoms. Conclusion: This review demonstrates the promise of incorporating mindfulness interventions in school settings for improving certain youth outcomes. We urge researchers interested in MBSIs to study their effectiveness using more rigorous designs (e.g., RCTs with active control groups, multi-method outcome assessment, and follow-up evaluation), to minimize bias and promote higher quality—not just increased quantity—evidence that can be relied upon to guide school-based practice.

Deviance Punishment is an important issue for social-psychological research. Group members tend to punish deviance through rejection, ostracism and – more commonly - negative judgments. Subjective Group Dynamics proposes to account for social judgement patterns of deviant and conformist individuals. Relying on a group identity management perspective, one of the model’s core predictions is that the judgment of a deviant target depends on group membership. More specifically, the model predicts that deviant ingroup members should be judged more negatively than outgroup ones. Although this effect has been repeatedly observed over the past decades, there is a current lack of sufficiently powered studies in the literature. For the first time, we conducted tests of Subjective Group Dynamics in France and the US to investigate whether ingroup deviants were judged more harshly than outgroup ones. Across six experiments and an internal mini meta-analysis, we observed no substantial difference in judgment between ingroup and outgroup deviant targets, d = -0.01, 95% CI[-0.07, 0.06]. The findings’ implications for deviance management research are discussed.
A Tutorial towards Theory Formalization in (Social) Embodiment

Published: January 2021

Embodied – or grounded - cognition frameworks assume that human thought is affected by inputs from the bodily modalities and the environment and emerged in response to amodal approaches. But the embodied cognition literature, generally speaking, lacks the formal theorizing that allows for specific predictions about relations between body and mind. This problem is amplified by the fact that psychological research has encountered replication problems, challenges to validity of measures and manipulations, and overgeneralization of obtained findings to populations and measures that were not tested. This chapter provides a tutorial on how the field can move towards formalized theories of embodied social cognition. We rely on research on social thermoregulation – the idea that social behaviors protect the body’s core temperature – as a template for this. The chapter addresses the important questions of how to separate noise from signal in embodiment research, how to create reliable and valid measures, and how to appropriately draw conclusions about the generalizability of obtained findings. We hope that following these recommendations will help theories in embodiment to become more formal, allowing for precise predictions about interactions between the body and human (social) cognition.
Digital technologies in the context of university transition and disability: Theoretical and empirical advances
Authors: Pacheco Edgar
Published: January 2021

Since transition to higher education emerged as a research topic in the early 1970s, scholarly inquiry has focused on students without impairments and, what is more, little attention has been paid to the role of digital technologies. This article seeks to address this knowledge gap by looking at the university experiences of a group of first-year students with vision impairments from New Zealand, and the way they use digital tools, such as social media and mobile devices, to manage their transition-related challenges. The article summarises the findings from a longitudinal qualitative project which was methodologically informed by action research (AR). The article explores and discusses scholarly inquiry of transition to university and introduces a conceptual framework which includes five overlapping stages, the transition issues faced by the students and the roles played by digital technologies. The article updates and expands the theoretical understanding of transition to higher education and provides empirical evidence for practitioners to support the needs, inclusion, and participation of young people with disabilities in the tertiary setting.
