High carbohydrate intake increases risk of coronary heart disease in adults: a prospective cohort study
Authors: Darjoko Sulistyowati Tuminah , Wahyuningsih Tri , Sudikno Sudikno
Published: August 2019

BackgroundCoronary heart disease (CHD) ranks second after diabetes mellitus (DM) based on hazard rate, and after stroke (based on number of deaths caused). Our aim was to determine the risk factor and magnitude of CHD among adults. Methods A cohort study on risk factors of non-communicable diseases (CS-RFNCD) was conducted on subjects aged ≥25 years. Initiated by screening, follow-up (FU) was done 3 times yearly and complete health examination every 2 years. CHD cases screened by electrocardiographic examination on subjects aged ≥40 years and <40 years with history of hypertension and/or heart disease. Screening results found 840 of 5690 subjects with CHD diagnosis who were excluded from cohort study sample. Non-CHD subjects and those aged <40 years without a history of hypertension and/or heart disease, totalling 4840 people, were included in study sample and followed up for 6 years. Data were analyzed using Cox regression.ResultsCarbohydrate intake of ≥60% of total energy had a 2.8-fold higher CHD risk [HR=2.790; 95% CI: 1.962 - 3.967; p=0.000] than that of an intake of <60% of total energy. Age of ≥55 years had 2.6-fold higher CHD risk [HR=2.573; 95% CI: 1.803 - 3.671; p=0.000] than age of <55 years. Blood total cholesterol of ≥200 mg/dL had 1.9-fold higher CHD risk [HR=1.893; 95% CI: 1.319 - 2.715; p=0.001] than that of <200 mg/dL.ConclusionHigher intake of carbohydrate increases CHD incidence among adults. Efforts in controlling CHD risk factors are still needed especially in consumption behavior through a family approach.

Authors: Anjum Shazia , Singh Sarbjit , Ali Zulfiqar , Ubaid Sheikh , Majid Syed , Imtiyaz Syed Yusra
Published: August 2019

Background: Central venous cannulation is a commonly performed procedure in neurosurgical patients to maintain the hemodynamic stability in the intraoperative period. It is used for infusion of intravenous fluids, vasopressors central venous pressure monitoring and detection of air embolism. Subclavian vein is commonly performed as there are minimal effects of positioning on it. Supraclavicular approach to subclavian vein cannulation is not as frequently employed as the infraclavicular approach. The purpose of this study was to compare the supraclavicular approach versus the infraclavicular approach in terms of number of attempts, success rate of catheterization and complications associated with the procedure.Methods: About 150 patients undergoing various neurosurgical procedures were enrolled in the study. They were divided into two groups. 75 patients underwent right supraclavicular catheterization of subclavian vein while as 75 patients underwent right infraclavicular catheterisation of the subclavian vein. The number of attempts for cannulation, success or failure of catheterization and any complications associated with the procedure or in the postoperative period were noted in each group. The data was compared between the two groups by using Chi-square test and Student’s Independent Samples T-test.Results: The right supraclavicular vein was successfully cannulated in 90.66% while as the right infraclaviclar vein was successfully cannulated in 96% of the patients (p >0.05). Malpositioning of catheter (threaded in contralateral subclavian) was noted in 4 patients in Group S and ipsilateral internal jugular vein in 2 patients. Pneumothorax was encountered in 1 patient in the group S undergoing supraclavicular subclavian vein cannulations while as subclavian arterial puncture was seen in 4 patients who underwent infraclavicular arterial puncture.Conclusions: There was no difference in successive cannulations between right the supraclavicular and right infraclaviclar veins. The rate of complications between the two approaches was comparable.
Immunization coverage under universal immunization programme in Kozhikode district, Kerala
Authors: C. Sreedevi
Published: August 2019

Background: Immunization is an important cost effective tool for preventing the morbidities and mortalities caused by vaccine preventable diseases. The objectives of this study were to assess the universal immunization programme coverage of children of 12–23 months of age in Kozhikode district and to study the factors associated with immunization coverage.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in 30 randomly selected electoral wards of Kozhikode district which were selected using multi stage cluster sampling technique during April 2013 to May 2014.Results: 469 children were studied from 30 clusters. 75.5% was fully immunized while 1.5% was unimmunized. Dropout rate for DPT 3 to Measles was the highest accounting to 20.2%. Most common reason for failure of immunization among unimmunized was that the parents didn’t feel the need (57.1%) and for partially immunized was the illness of the child (27.8%) followed by lack of awareness of the time of immunization (22.2%). Religion, early age of the mother at marriage and first delivery and high birth order were significantly associated with a higher proportion of partially immunized while higher education of the parents (>12th standard), health worker’s home visit in the first year of the child and presence of immunization card were significantly associated with a high full immunization coverage (p<0.05).Conclusions: Immunization coverage of 75.5% is far behind the target to be achieved. 1.5% of the children didn’t get any of the vaccinations. It is very important to increases the coverage to prevent the re-emergence of vaccine preventable diseases.

Authors: L. Manoj Kumar , K. H. Anand , N. Raadhika Shree
Published: August 2019

Background: Laryngopharyngeal reflux disease is an under diagnosed condition due to unavailability of the diagnostic tool that is dual probe pH monitoring and is on the rise in adult population according to El Serag by 4% every year since 1976.

Methods: Adult patients coming to the outpatient department between April 2017 to April 2018 were evaluated using reflux symptom index score (RSI). Score greater than 13 were suggestive of laryngopharyngeal reflux and patients underwent 24 hours ambulatory dual probe pH monitoring. 7 or more reflux events in study period were diagnostic of laryngopharygeal reflux.  

Results: 3000 adult patients were screened for RSI and 1756 (58.3%) had scored greater than 13. Among these patients 893 patients had 7 or more reflux events in pH monitoring. We found a prevalence of 29.76% in our study population.

Conclusions: Prevalence laryngopharyngeal reflux disease needs to assess periodically at regular intervals to create more awareness of the disease and patient education thus preventing from causing chronic illnesses.

Authors: Guerra Maria das Graças Gonçalves Vieira , Carvalho Kliandra de Almeida Galdino
Published: August 2019

A corrupção é uma marca da administração patrimonialista que persegue o Brasil desde a sua descoberta pelos portugueses. A transparência pública, imposta pelo princípio da publicidade e pela Lei de Acesso à Informação, funciona como a principal ferramenta para o exercício da cidadania através do controle social da administração pública. Diante deste contexto, é relevante que a sociedade volte a exercer o seu papel de cidadania de forma mais efetiva e eficaz. Do ponto de vista metodológico, esse estudo caracteriza-se como estudo bibliográfico e exploratório, tendo como objetivo mostrar a importância do controle social como exercício da cidadania. Dessa maneira, conclui-se quão importante é a participação do cidadão no exercício do controle social da administração pública com vistas a cobrar a continuidade da transparência pública, fundamental para o combate à corrupção.
NARRATIVAS DO COTIDIANO DE UM CUIDADOR FAMILIAR DA ESPOSA EM SOFRIMENTO PSÍQUICO
Authors: Batista Eraldo Carlos
Published: August 2019

O cuidador familiar da pessoa em sofrimento psíquico vive constantes mudanças em seu cotidiano, tendo que se adaptar constantemente às novas formas de condução de suas atividades diárias. O objetivo com este artigo foi fazer uma análise de narrativa de uma entrevista autobiográfica de um cuidador familiar da esposa em sofrimento psíquico. Utilizou-se como abordagem metodológica a pesquisa qualitativa sob a perspectiva da narrativa autobiográfica. Da análise das narrativas emergiram cinco eixos temáticos: a dificuldade na adaptação ao papel de cuidador; a sobrecarga familiar; a abdicação da vida social; o sentimento de culpa e o cuidar como fator preditor de adoecimento. O texto autobiográfico mostra que na trajetória como cuidador familiar o informante passa por um momento de enfrentamento e dificuldades para lidar com a situação. Além disso, a falta de habilidade com essa nova função provocou não somente um desgaste físico como também emocional, levando seu João a um estado de estresse.
Representar e intervenir el comportamiento humano en la era de la tecnobiología: un aporte desde la filosofía de la biología
Authors: Pallitto Nahuel
Published: August 2019

En la era de la tecnobiología, los saberes de la biología frecuentemente se presentan al público general como una vía segura y eficiente para modificar comportamientos humanos patológicos o indeseables empleando medios tecnológicos. Esta concepción se expresa con especial intensidad en el ámbito de la biomedicina y en el marco del human enhancement. Pero, los modos en que las intervenciones tecnológicas allí propuestas se combinan con las representaciones de la biología del comportamiento no han sido cuidadosamente abordados hasta el momento. En este contexto, en el presente trabajo se explicitan los presupuestos de las intervenciones tecnológicas propuestas en la biomedicina y el human enhancement y se los analiza en el marco de las representaciones de diversos programas de investigación de la biología del comportamiento. La hipótesis general es que las intervenciones sugeridas implican sesgos, omisiones, simplificaciones y equívocos cuando son contrastadas con el conocimiento de la biología del comportamiento. Mientras la mayoría de los estudios filosóficos en tecnociencia se centran en aspectos praxiológicos y axiológicos, aquí se ofrece un abordaje ontológico y epistemológico, diferente pero complementario.
Los “otros” de la historia. Aproximaciones conceptuales en torno a un posible diálogo Foucault-Benjamin
Authors: Suaza Estrada Edwin Jader
Published: August 2019

El artículo propone un posible diálogo entre Foucault y Walter Benjamin frente a la manera de abordar la Historia. A partir de la revisión documental de varios de los escritos más representativos de estos pensadores se presentan algunos aspectos teóricos, metodológicos y epistemológicos que diferencian o asimilan sus propuestas teóricas frente a la Historia. A su vez aborda la crítica de la Historia: por un lado, a partir del concepto de “genealogía” presente en la obra de Foucault; y por otro, desde la crítica que Benjamín hace al historicismo. Esto desde algunas comprensiones y métodos planteados por el movimiento surrealista. Se plantean, en este sentido, elementos conceptuales que permiten entender la Historia como producto de una serie de corrientes subterráneas y de fuerzas en conflicto que modifican el mundo y la forma en que lo dotamos de significados, muchos de los cuales nos hablan de la presencia de “otros” sujetos de la Historia en los complejos procesos que subyacen a su producción, enunciación y recepción.
Argumento de la indispensabilidad e inferencia a la mejor explicación en filosofía de la matemática: una aproximación epistémica
Authors: Soto Cristian
Published: August 2019

Se defiende una lectura epistémica del argumento de la indispensabilidad en filosofía de las matemáticas, reconociendo la contribución de las matemáticas al éxito empírico de las ciencias sin asumir la realidad de las entidades matemáticas. Se sostiene que el argumento de la indispensabilidad no es una instancia de la inferencia a la mejor explicación. Luego de distinguir entre entidades matemática y entidades físicas, muestro que, aun cuando la inferencia a la mejor explicación pudiera funcionar en la postulación de entidades físicas inobservables, no contamos con razones similares para creer que cumpla el mismo rol en vistas de las entidades matemáticas.
Del perfil al retrato genético: dependencia de trayectoria en las tecnologías del ADN
Authors: Sánchez-Zúñiga Ariel , García-Deister Vivette
Published: August 2019

Este artículo busca mostrar la pertinencia de la historia para explicar el desarrollo de las tecnologías del adn forense y la estandarización de su uso en el ámbito judicial. Nuestra descripción de la trayectoria que ha seguido el perfil genético y de las tareas epistémicas que se le han asignado desde 1984 hasta el presente, nos permite caracterizarlo como una entidad histórica, que posee dependencia de trayectoria. Ofrecemos también una reflexión sobre el lugar que ocupa la novedosa técnica del fenotipado a partir de adn en esta trayectoria. Al enfatizar la relevancia de la contingencia en las trayectorias del adn forense tomamos posición respecto de la relación entre la historia y la filosofía de la ciencia, pues su inclusión como un recurso explicativo de los desarrollos tecno-científicos implica reconocer que se tratan de procesos dinámicos en los que las secuencias de sucesos están causalmente relacionadas.

Os grupos de fatores relevantes para o verbo haver foram, nessa ordem de importância: forma verbal, traço semântico do SN, faixa etária, sexo, repetição do verbo no mesmo enunciado, posição do SN em relação ao verbo e presença versus ausência de elementos à esquerda do verbo.
Sociolinguística e ensino de línguas: teorias e enquadramentos epistemológicos
Authors: Osório Paulo , Martins João
Published: August 2019

Este artigo pretende refletir acerca de alguns conceitos muito produtivos em Didática e Ensino de Línguas, favorecendo-se, para o efeito, o enquadramento teórico e metodológico da Sociolinguística. O estudo sobre o ensino de línguas, partilhando a visão de vários autores como Garmadi (1983), Elia (1987), Amor (1993), entre outros, deve ser realizado observando os pressupostos fornecidos pela Sociolinguística, bem como o valor que ela assume para a compreensão dos vários fatores implicados no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de uma língua. A problemática das línguas e do seu ensino tem suscitado grandes controvérsias no seio dos linguistas e de vários estudiosos interessados pela área da Linguística. Deste modo, estamos certos de que o ensino da língua não pode ser estudado isoladamente da Sociolinguística pelas razões que apontaremos ao longo da nossa reflexão.
O anglicismo no Dicionário Aurélio
Authors: Varotto Denival , Silva Fernando Moreno
Published: August 2019

O processo de empréstimo linguístico – entrada de palavras de origem estrangeira em outra língua – contribui para a expansão do léxico, seja na forma adaptada, seja na forma estrangeira. Apesar de não consensual, costuma-se chamar a forma adaptada de “empréstimo” (escâner), e a forma estrangeira de “estrangeirismo” (ingl. scanner). Quantos estrangeirismos existem no português brasileiro? Há muitos estrangeirismos registrados em dicionário? Quais áreas mais contribuem para a entrada deles? A partir dessas questões, a proposta deste trabalho foi fazer um levantamento de todos os estrangeirismos (formas não adaptadas ao português) registrados no dicionário Aurélio (FERREIRA, 2010), analisando em especial os anglicismos (palavras de origem inglesa, como “commodity” e “lobby”). A pesquisa mostrou que o estrangeirismo não representa uma “ameaça” ao português, já que, num universo de 144.342 verbetes do dicionário, há 1.330 formas não adaptadas ao português (0,92%), predominando o anglicismo (624).
Halliday e sua retórica: posicionamentos teóricos na linguística moderna
Authors: Batista Ronaldo de Oliveira , Da Silva Érico Augusto Caetano
Published: August 2019

Pela perspectiva da Historiografia da Linguística, propõe-se uma análise da retórica empregada por M.A.K. Halliday na década de 1980. Esta narrativa historiográfica segue procedimentos teórico-metodológicos de um quadro sociorretórico de análise e estabelece correlação interpretativa entre fatores discursivos e sociais da retórica de Halliday em busca de legitimação científica de suas ideias linguísticas. Compreende-se, neste texto, a atividade científica como tarefa humana, permeada de atos persuasivos e posicionamentos pessoais, ainda que mascarados pelos rótulos da ciência.
Ideología lingüística: dimensiones metodológicas e históricas
Authors: Swiggers Pierre
Published: August 2019

Después de ofrecer una aclaración histórico-semántica del concepto de ‘ideología’, se define el campo de la ideología(s) lingüística(s) en su relación con distintos tipos de contextos de aproximación. A continuación se distnguen tres macro-planes de ideología (del lenguaje; de una lengua; de la lingüística) y siete tipos de ideología de la lengua. En la segunda parte de esta contribución se estudian los mecanismos de elaboración de ideologías lingüísticas y su cristalización alrededor de ‘ideologemas’, lo que permite establecer una agenda de investigación. En conclusión vienen formuladas algunas reflexiones sobre ideología esencial e ideología co-ocurrente, y sobre el impacto ideológico del factor tiempo. Los ejemplos que ilustran los tipos y los mecanismos de ideología lingüística son tomados de la historia de la lingüística románica.

The Basic Stages of Preparing a Public Budget
Authors: Hamad Al-Hakeem Mustafa , Ilham Abdal Kahi
Published: August 2019

Budgeting is creating a plan to spend your money.  Good budgeting is spending less than you are earning as you plan for your financial goals.  Budgeting is the fundamental step in achieving financial literacy, and by extension, reaching financial security and freedom.  Budgeting is the process of creating a plan to spend and invest your hard earned money wisely to meet your personal and financial goals in life.  It should not be a mathematical exercise that we think we have to endure; rather, it is the result of self- assessment of our relationship with money and a necessary road map to steer us toward a higher standard and quality of living. The budget determines the general policy of the State and reflects its economic and development orientations and the partnership of all citizens with regard to their tax obligations or service rights. This is a strategic plan as a result of the expenditure study for years, taking into account the needs and potential of the ministries and the capacity to mobilize resources to cover the public expenditure of the State.

In the face to low fertility existing in tropical soils, farmers in the Eastern Congo need cost-effective Soil Fertility Management (SFM) technologies to address the problem of low crop yields, which are particularly pronounced in grain legumes. This study assessed the financial returns associated with different SFM trials conducted on common bean grain in eastern Congo. Benefit-cost ratio analysis based on experimental data identified organic and mineral fertilizer technologies for common bean production. Two fields experiment were conducted at the Crop Research (INERA/Mulungu) and Walungu district (Ikoma). The experimental design was split plot with four replications. The main plot was the different time of application (2, 3 and 4 weeks after sowing) and the sub plot were the organic and inorganic fertilizers (40 N kg ha-1, 60 P2O5 ha-1 and 5 t Fumier ha-1) compare to an absolute control (0:0 N:P kg ha-1 and 0 t manure ha-1). The RWR21-54 was the variety used. N was applied as urea, P was applied as triple superphosphate (TSP) and organic fertilizer was applied as cow manure. Plant height was significantly (p<0.05) influenced by N and P application in the two locations throughout the growing season. N, P and manure application significantly (p<0.05) increased total dry matter (TDM, kg ha-1), nodulation and leaf area (LA) of both locations in late vegetative and reproductive stages. Kabare site consistently had higher TDM and LA compared to Walungu site throughout the growing season. Average seed yield in fertilized plot was 2 times higher than the control (averaged over all N, P and manure levels) in both experiments. The highest seed yield was obtained with with 40:60 N:P2O5 kg ha-1 and  5 t ha-1 fertilization (1781.23 kg ha-1 «Kabare» and  1641.39 kg ha-1 «Walungu») which was not economic dose. Significantly higher net returns (1637.50 ha-1«Kabare» and 1641,67 kg ha-1 «Walungu») and its benefits cost ratio (2.82 «Kabare» and 2.87 «Walungu») were also obtained with application of 60 P2O5 kg ha-1 in the both locations.

Published: August 2019

The study investigated the Contribution of modern social networks in building social integration in five public Universities in Uganda with a target population of 266 students’ groups. It employed multi-stage sampling technique, comprising of purposive and simple random sampling to select 57 students’ groups with a total of 456 respondents. Data collection tools comprised of questionnaires and interview schedules. The findings indicate that the most interrogating issue was that a majority of the respondents revealed that social media has negative effects on social integration. The results revealed that unity among students enables them acquire a sense of belonging as a body of students, hence enhancing social cohesion within the social groups. WhatsApp was ranked at position one with a mean grade of 1.17 with the percentage of 86.1% ranking it at first position. It was closely followed by Facebook with rank two with a mean grade of 1.66 with 38.5% ranking it at second position

The study therefore recommends universities’ administration to formulate accommodative policies that properly regulate the use of social network platforms. The study also recommended public universities to strengthen organs and institutions that deal with proper management of social networks in their instructions.

Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a composi��o centesimal do camar�o branco Litopenaeus schmitti (Burkenroad, 1936) no litoral de Sergipe. As amostras da categoria �pistola� (camar�o grande), que inclui o L. schmitti foram coletadas mensalmente entre os meses de maio e outubro de 2016 no Terminal Pesqueiro de Aracaju. A composi��o centesimal (mat�ria seca, cinzas, prote�na bruta e lip�deo) de todos os seis est�gios de matura��o de cada sexo (macho imaturo e maturo, e f�mea imatura, em desenvolvimento, matura e desovada) foi analisada separadamente com indiv�duos inteiros (cabe�a e carapa�a). Ao longo dos meses amostrados, apenas 93 exemplares estavam presentes na categoria pistola, sendo a maioria macho maturo. Na an�lise da composi��o centesimal, 91,9-93,8% correspondeu � mat�ria seca. Com base na mat�ria seca, os seguintes valores m�nimos e m�ximos foram obtidos: 17,6-19,2% para cinzas, 69,8-73,9% para prote�na bruta e 6,3-8,8% para lip�deo. Foi verificado que quanto mais avan�ado o est�gio de desenvolvimento dos machos e das f�meas, maior o teor de lip�deos.
LEVANTAMENTO DOS PRINCIPAIS PEIXES COMERCIALIZADOS NA FEIRA DO PESCADO � SANTAR�M � PA

Published: August 2019

Resumo � A regi�o Amaz�nica possui uma grande diversidade de peixes, s�o mais de 6.000 esp�cies catalogadas, mas ainda s�o pouco estudadas. S�o pouqu�ssimas esp�cies de peixes sendo exploradas e comercializadas nessa regi�o, aproximadamente 40 esp�cies podem ser encontradas nos mercados de peixes. Objetivou-se com este trabalho fazer um levantamento das principais esp�cies de peixes comercializadas na Feira do Pescado na cidade de Santar�m - PA, identificando-o as principais esp�cies, o valor atribu�do (R$), o equipamento utilizado e o local de captura. Para fazer o levantamento dos principais peixes comercializados na Feira do Pescado, foi aplicado um question�rio estruturado � 10 comerciantes de um total de 30 comerciantes presentes na feira. Foram identificadas 19 esp�cies de peixes que foram comercializadas na Feira do Pescado, desde o m�s de setembro de 2017 � janeiro de 2018. As principais esp�cies encontradas foram: o tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) que � tanto oriundo de rios/lagos e tamb�m criados em viveiros para comercializa��o; outras esp�cies se destacaram pela presen�a e demanda de procura s�o elas o tucunar� (Cichia ocellaris), o pirarucu (Arapaima gigas), o acaratinga (Geophagus proximus), e a pescada (Plagioscion squamosissimus). Sendo que o �pice da comercializa��o dessas esp�cies mostrou-se maior nos meses de Dezembro e Janeiro. J� os pre�os das esp�cies foram maiores para os peixes de grande e m�dio porte j� eviscerados e escamados, o que foram atribu�dos valores agregados aos produtos. Como sabemos, nas feiras, o pre�o do produto � influenciado pelos per�odos de proibi��o da pesca, em detrimento de fatores como tamanho e caracter�stica morfol�gica das esp�cies, justificado pela lei da oferta e procura. Apesar da Feira do Pescado de Santar�m � PA apresentar uma variedade de esp�cies de peixes comercializados nota-se uma percept�vel diminui��o de esp�cies encontradas quando comparado com trabalhos anteriores.

Some Algebraic Properties of Generalized Fuzzy Rough Approximations Derived by Fuzzy Set-Valued Homomorphism of LA-G-Semigroups
Authors: Akın Canan , Eyüboğlu Kübra
Published: August 2019

In this paper we define the concept of fuzzy set valued homomorphism of LA- G-semigroups and mention some features of them. We also investigate the approximations of a generalized fuzzy approximation space constructed on LA-G-semigroups and derived by fuzzy set valued homomorphisms of LA-G-semigroups. Especially, we focus on some algebraic properties of fuzzy subsets in terms of protection of some properties under these approximations.
Border of What: Ecology or Human?
Authors: POUYA Sahar , ERDEM KAYA Meltem
Published: August 2019

Objective: The issue of human boundaries (political borders) vs. the natural boundaries (ecotones) has been controversial in recent studies. The political borders have negatively impacted the ecology and resulted in ecological and spatial fragmentation and biodiversity reduction in a country like Iran. The work aims to find a practical way to mitigate the environmental problems in the borderlands of Iran. This article evaluates the effect of creating a “Transboundary Conserved Area” or “Peace Park” in Iran with the purpose of ecological conservation.Material and Methods: This article attempts to explain the structures and functions of ecotones and natural boundaries. To search for a feasible solution to protect the ecologically unique zones over the political borders of Iran, this article discusses whether human boundaries can act as a natural boundary and reduce its ecological effects. Therefore, five common characteristics of natural and human borders, including location and size, origination, form, function, and stability over time, are explained and compared.Results: By analyzing the political borders of Iran, it shows that Iran needs different protected zones in most of its borderlands, and the idea of the “Transboundary Conserved Area” may not be possible due to the current complicated political matters over the borderlands.Conclusion: The human boundaries should be flexible with the changes in their surrounding nature; they should be in tune with the current geographical structures and maintain ecological connectively and seasonal animal migrations.

Emotion detection from the text is an important and challenging problem in text analytics. The opinion-mining experts are focusing on the development of emotion detection applications as they have received considerable attention of online community including users and business organization for collecting and interpreting public emotions. However, most of the existing works on emotion detection used less efficient machine learning classifiers with limited datasets, resulting in performance degradation. To overcome this issue, this work aims at the evaluation of the performance of different machine learning classifiers on a benchmark emotion dataset. The experimental results show the performance of different machine learning classifiers in terms of different evaluation metrics like precision, recall ad f-measure.

In the past ten years several novel hantaviruses were discovered in shrews, moles and bats, suggesting the dispersal of hantaviruses in many animal taxa other than rodents during their evolution. Interestingly, the co-evolutionary analyses of most recent studies have raised the possibility of non-rodents may have served as the primordial mammalian host and harboured the ancestors of rodent-borne hantaviruses as well. The aim of our study was to investigate the presence of hantaviruses in bat lung tissue homogenates originally collected for taxonomic purposes in Malaysia, 2015. Hantavirus specific nested RT-PCR screening of 116 samples targeting the L segment of the virus have revealed the positivity of two lung tissue homogenates originating from Murina aenea bat species. Nanopore sequencing of hantavirus positive samples resulted in partial genomic data from S, M and L genome segments. The obtained results indicate the first molecular evidence for hantavirus in Murina aenae bat species and also the first discovery of a hantavirus in Murina bat species. Sequence analysis of the PCR amplicon and partial genome segments suggests the identified virus may represent a novel species in Mobatvirus genus within Hantaviridae family. Furthermore, our results provide additional genomic data to help extend our knowledge about the evolution of these viruses.

In plant cells the conventional route to the vacuole involves the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi and the prevacuolar compartment. However, over the years, unconventional sorting to the vacuole, bypassing the Golgi, has been described, which is the case of the Plant Specific Insert (PSI) of the aspartic proteinase cardosin A. Interestingly, this Golgi-bypass ability is not a characteristic shared by all PSIs, since two related PSIs showed to have different sensitivity to ER-to-Golgi blockage. Given the high sequence similarity between the PSIs domains, we sought to depict the differences in terms of post-translational modifications. In fact, one feature that draws our attention is that one is N-glycosylated and the other one is not. Using site-directed mutagenesis to obtain mutated versions of the two PSIs, with and without the glycosylation motif, we observed that altering the glycosylation pattern interferes with the trafficking of the protein as the non-glycosylated PSI-B, unlike its native glycosylated form, is able to bypass ER-to-Golgi blockage and accumulate in the vacuole. This is also true when the PSI domain is analyzed in the context of the full-length cardosin. Regardless of opening exciting research gaps, the results obtained so far need a more comprehensive study of the mechanisms behind this unconventional direct sorting to the vacuole.

In the upgrading of biomass pyrolysis vapors to hydrocarbons, dehydration accomplishes a primary objective of removing oxygen and acidic zeolites represent promising catalysts for dehydration reaction. Here, we utilize density functional theory calculations to estimate adsorption energetics and intrinsic kinetics of alcohol dehydration over H-ZSM-5, H-BEA, and H-AEL zeolites. ONIOM calculations of adsorption energies were observed to be inconsistent when benchmarked against QM/Hartree-Fock and periodic boundary condition calculations. However, reaction coordinate calculations of adsorbed species and transition states were consistent across all levels considered. Comparison of ethanol, iso-propanol (IPA), and tert-amyl alcohol (TAA) over these three zeolites allowed for a detailed examination of how confinement impacts reaction mechanisms and kinetics. TAA, seen to proceed via a carbocationic mechanism, was found to have the lowest activation barrier, followed by IPA and then ethanol, both of which dehydrate via a concerted mechanism. Barriers in H-BEA were consistently found to be lower than in H-ZSM-5 and H-AEL, attributed to late transition states and either elevated strain or inaccurately estimating long-range electrostatic interactions in H-AEL, respectively. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the diffusivity of these three alcohols in H-ZSM-5 are significantly overestimated by Knudsen diffusion, which will complicate experimental efforts to develop a kinetic model for catalytic fast pyrolysis.

The purpose of this study was to conduct laboratory test programs on how much vehicle-induced vibrations during early ages affected the tensile performance of Polyvinyl alcohol-engineering cementitious composites (PVA-ECC). A self-improved device was used to simulate the vehicle-induced vibrations, and after vibrating with the designed variables, both a uniaxial tensile test and a grey correlation analysis were performed. The results indicated that: the effects of vehicle-induced vibrations on the tensile performance of early age PVA-ECC were significant, and they generally tended to be negative in this investigation. In particular, for all of the vibrated PVA-ECC specimens, the most negative age when vibrated occurred during the period between the initial set and the final set. In this period, the effects of the vibration duration on the tensile performance of the PVA-ECC tended to be negative overall, but the impact trend and the degree varied for the corresponding lengths of duration and levels of frequency. The cracking strength was the most sensitive to the variables in this investigation, and then it followed the ultimate tensile strength and strain. The grey correlation analysis was applicable in analyzing the effects of vehicle-induced vibrations on the tensile performance of early age PVA-ECC.
Logarithmic Space Verifiers on NP-complete
Authors: Vega Frank
Published: August 2019

P versus NP is considered as one of the most important open problems in computer science. This consists in knowing the answer of the following question: Is P equal to NP? A precise statement of the P versus NP problem was introduced independently by Stephen Cook and Leonid Levin. Since that date, all efforts to find a proof for this problem have f ailed. NP is the complexity class of languages defined b y p olynomial t ime v erifiers M su ch th at wh en th e in put is an el ement of the language with its certificate, then M outputs a string which belongs to a single language in P. Another major complexity classes are L and NL. The certificate-based definition of NL is based on logarithmic space Turing machine with an additional special read-once input tape: This is called a logarithmic space verifier. NL is the complexity class of languages defined by logarithmic space verifiers M s uch t hat when t he i nput i s a n e lement o f t he l anguage with i ts c ertificate, th en M outputs 1. To attack the P versus NP problem, the NP-completeness is a useful concept. We demonstrate there is an NP-complete language defined by a logarithmic space verifier M such that when the input is an element of the language with its certificate, then M outputs a s tring which belongs to a single language in L. In this way, we obtain if L is not equal to NL, then P = NP. In addition, we show that L is not equal to NL. Hence, we prove the complexity class P is equal to NP.
STAT3 and STAT5 Activation in Solid Cancers
Authors: Igelmann Sebastian , Neubauer Heidi A. , Ferbeyre Gerardo
Published: August 2019

The Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT)3 and 5 are activated by many cytokine receptors to regulate specific gene expression and mitochondrial functions. Their role in cancer is largely context dependent as they can both act as oncogenes and tumor suppressors. We review here the role of STAT3/5 activation in solid cancers and summarize their association to survival in cancer patients. The molecular mechanisms that underpins the oncogenic activity of STAT3/5 signaling includes the regulation of genes that control cell cycle, cell death, inflammation and stemness. In addition, STAT3 mitochondrial functions are required for transformation. On the other hand, several tumor suppressor pathways act on or are activated by STAT3/5 signaling including the p19ARF/p53 pathway, tyrosine phosphatases, suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 and 3, the sumo ligase PIAS3, the E3 ubiquitin ligase TMF/ARA160 and the miRNAs miR-124 and miR-1181. Cancer mutations and epigenetic alterations may alter the balance between pro-oncogenic and tumor suppressor activities associated to STAT3/5 signaling explaining their context dependent association to tumor progression both in human cancers and animal models.

Published: August 2019

Random copolymers made of both (PIM-polyimide) and (6FDA-durene-PI) were prepared for the first time by a facile one-step polycondensation reaction. By combining the highly porous and contorted structure of PIM (polymers with intrinsic microporosity) and high thermomechanical properties of PI (polyimide), the membranes obtained from these random copolymers [(PIM-PI)x-(6FDA-durene-PI)y] showed high CO2 permeability (> 1047 Barrer) with moderate CO2/N2 (> 16.5) and CO2/CH4 (> 18) selectivity, together with excellent thermal and mechanical properties. The membranes prepared from three different compositions of two comonomers (1:4, 1:6 and 1:10 of x:y), all showed similar morphological and physical properties, and gas separation performance, indicating ease of synthesis and practicability for large-scale production. The gas separation performance of these membranes at various pressure ranges (100–1500 torr) was also investigated.

On the Negative Excess Isotherms for Methane Adsorption at High Pressure: Modeling and Experiment
Authors: Li Jing , Wu Keliu , Chen Zhangxin , Wang Kun , Luo Jia , Xu Jinze , Li Ran , Yu Renjie , Li Xiangfang
Published: August 2019

An excess adsorption amount obtained in experiments is always determined by mass balance with a void volume measured by helium (He) –expansion tests. However, He, with a small kinetic diameter, can penetrate into narrow pores in porous media that are inaccessible to adsorbate gases [e.g., methane (CH4)]. Thus, the actual accessible volume for a specific adsorbate is always overestimated by an He–based void volume; such overestimation directly leads to errors in the determination of excess isotherms in the laboratory, such as “negative isotherms” for gas adsorption at high pressures, which further affects an accurate description of total gas in place (GIP) for shale–gas reservoirs.

In this work, the mass balance for determining the adsorbed amount is rewritten, and two particular concepts, an “apparent excess adsorption” and an “actual excess adsorption,” are considered. Apparent adsorption is directly determined by an He–based volume, corresponding to the traditional treatment in experimental conditions, whereas actual adsorption is determined by an adsorbate–accessible volume, where pore–wall potential is always nonpositive (i.e., an attractive molecule/pore–wall interaction). Results show the following: The apparent excess isotherm determined by the He–based volume gradually becomes negative at high pressures, but the actual one determined by the adsorbate–accessible volume always remains positive.The negative adsorption phenomenon in the apparent excess isotherm is a result of the overestimation in the adsorbate–accessible volume, and a larger overestimation leads to an earlier appearance of this negative adsorption.The positive amount in the actual excess isotherm indicates that the adsorbed phase is always denser than the bulk gas because of the molecule/pore–wall attraction aiding the compression of the adsorbed molecules.

Practically, an overestimation in pore volume (PV) is only 3.74% for our studied sample, but it leads to an underestimation reaching up to 22.1% in the actual excess amount at geologic conditions (i.e., approximately 47 MPa and approximately 384 K). Such an overestimation in PV also underestimates the proportions of the adsorbed–gas amount to the free–gas amount and to the total GIP. Therefore, our present work underlines the importance of a void volume in the determination of adsorption isotherms; moreover, we establish a path for a more–accurate evaluation of gas storage in geologic shale reservoirs with high pressure.
