IMPLEMENTASI ALGORITMA LEVENBERG–MARQUARDT DALAM PREDIKSI DINI PENYAKIT KARDIOVASKULAR
Authors:   STMIK TIME, Wijaya Edi
Published: February 2024

Heart disease or also known as cardiovascular disease are all diseases that occur due to impaired heart function. Heart disease is the result of plaque buildup in the coronary arteries, which blocks blood flow to the heart and increases the risk of heart attack and other complications. Cardiovascular disease due to atherosclerosis is a challenge in itself because this type of disease is a progressive disease that can be modified by various actions and only causes few symptoms until the end of the course of this disease but when this disease is clinically proven, there is only a short duration between the time of onset of symptoms and pain, disability, even death. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease begin at a young age, even when a person has no symptoms and is not aware of the consequences of these risk factors. This Early Cardiovascular Disease Prediction application implements the Levenberg Marquardt algorithm in a cardiovascular disease grouping system so that the search process requires a relatively fast time. This Cardiovascular Disease Early Prediction application can be accessed easily using a smartphone so that users can access it quickly and efficiently.

Human herpesvirus type 6 (HHV6) reactivation after haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) has been scarcely studied, especially when antithymocyte globulin (ATG) is added to the graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis. We conducted a retrospective cohort study in 100 consecutive patients receiving haploidentical HCT with PT-Cy. We systematically monitored HHV6 DNA loads in blood samples on a weekly basis using quantitative PCR until day +100. The 100-day cumulative incidence of HHV6 reactivation was 54%. Clinically significant HHV6 infections were rare (7%), associated with higher HHV6 DNA loads, and had favorable outcomes after antiviral therapy. The main risk factor for HHV6 reactivation was a low absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) < 290/µL on day +30 (68% versus 40%, p = 0.003). Adding ATG to PT-Cy did not increase the incidence of HHV6 reactivation (52% with ATG versus 79% without ATG, p = 0.12). Patients experiencing HHV6 reactivation demonstrated delayed platelet recovery (HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.07-3.05, p = 0.026), higher risk of acute grade II-IV GvHD (39% versus 9%, p < 0.001) but similar overall survival and non-relapse mortality to the other patients. In conclusion, our findings endorse the safety of combining ATG and PT-Cy in terms of the risk of HHV6 reactivation and infection in patients undergoing haploidentical HCT. Patients with a low ALC on day +30 face a higher risk of HHV6 reactivation and may require careful monitoring.
A Surge Absorber for the Sri Lankan Distribution Substation to Mitigate Lightning Damage
Authors: Sandeepa AGR , Lucas Prof. JR
Published: February 2024

Due to high grounding resistance and soil conditions surge arrester performance decreases. Even though in installation the standard earthing resistance is achieved with time the earthing resistance would be at a high value. When a high voltage arrives at the surge arrestor it discharges the excess voltage by providing low impedance shunt path to ground and providing protection for the transformer. Because of high impedance path the voltage would not divert to the ground and carry on its original path and damage the transformer. Therefore, for areas with high earthing resistances protection must be improved for distribution substations. Throughout this research method of reducing the peak and the rate of rise of surge was analyzed for providing extra protection for the transformer. The selected substation was AV047 it was selected because of lightning occurrence in the selected area, Replacement of the transformer due to damages cause by overvoltage surges and high earthing resistance of the installed substation. Usage of the surge absorber for additional protection was investigated throughout the research. By this method proposed by the research group it was able to provide the sufficient protection for the transformer during surge conditions and reduce the peak and the rate of rise of the surge. Losses of the surge absorber were also analyzed at different conditions. Further an algorithm was developed so that the surge absorber could be implemented to any MV and HV networks for protection of the transformer.

Published: February 2024

A casino is a recreation center, one of our society's leisure amenities. Therefore, a casino is a public location where guests can play various games of chance and gambling to entertain themselves. From previous reviews as shown in the study, casinos ought to have various crowd control strategies available to avert the risks associated with overcrowding. However, it depends on how effective the designers and other building professionals are willing to implement these strategies to make the building more conducive. The study examined crowd control strategies in recreational facilities in Lagos state, Nigeria, with a view to understanding why these facilities were created for maximum profit returns, over the safety of the users. To achieve this, a structured questionnaire was used for data collection, and a descriptive approach was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that the grand mean value of 4.57 was more significant than the cut-off mean value of 3.5, indicating that measures implemented for crowd control in the casino were ineffective. The findings imply that the crowd control strategies implemented have less effect on casino users. Thus, inadequate provision of crowd control strategies puts users at potential risk in the casinos. Casinos should provide safety measures by design from the onset or as a precaution after establishment.
Objects of industrial heritage as elements of city’s geocultural image
Authors:   Nizhny-Novgorod State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Pepelyaeva Sofia V.
Published: February 2024

The role of industrial heritage objects in the image of a city is considered. Using specimens of industrial architecture from Nizhny Novgorod as research material, three scenarios of their functioning in the urban socio-cultural space are demonstrated: architectural object as an illustration of the phenomenon of industrialization of the country; as a monument of engineering thought, and as an object that brings about material artifacts that become symbols of the region. Methodologically, the study displays a value-based approach: not only does industrial architecture perform a utilitarian function in the urban space, but it also contributes to the image of the city, reflecting the values that dominate and guide its communities and development strategies. A review of domestic semiotic research suggests three ways by which objects of industrial heritage become key elements in the geocultural image of Nizhny Novgorod. These include communication of invariant information, actualization of citizens’ creative activities, and preservation of iconic elements of its history and achievements in the city's memory. By performing the above informative, creative and memorial functions, objects of industrial heritage influence the formation of the so-called phenomenon of urban patriotism. Acting through its industrial facilities, urban space concentrates in itself the memory of significant events and achievements of both the city and the country about people who contributed to the development of the city, thereby forming a special mental field that can be considered as a local axiological paradigm. Action being taken to integrate former industrial facilities into the socio-cultural space of the city contributes to the understanding of the city as a mental structure.

Authors:   Far Eastern Federal University, Tolkacheva Albina A.
Published: February 2024

The architectural activities of Vladivostok’s municipal government (city council and management) can be divided into two chronological intervals. The initial stage (1875-1898), considered by the author elsewhere, was a period of organization and appointment of the first city architect and definition of his duties, surveying and landscaping of the city’s central area, and construction of the first stone public and residential buildings for the civilian population. This publication continues the study of the planning, design and construction activities of Vladivostok’s municipal architects and engineers from the early 20th century until the revolutionary events of 1917. A characteristic feature of the time under consideration is periods of decline in design and construction (1898-1905); and activation in 1906-1917, directly related to events in the city, region, and the world. The study examines objects erected by the municipal authorities and city management structure, and presents a list of city architects, engineers and technicians. The publication is based on information from the Commemorative Books of the Primorye Region, early 20th century periodicals of Vladivostok, and funds of the Russian State Historical Archive of the Far East.

Authors:   «Drevo» Real Estate Development Company., Spiridonov Vladimir Yu.
Published: February 2024

A theoretical model of "smart" urban planning is presented. The model demonstrates the possibility of integrating modern universal and specialized information platforms with appropriate planning programs and methods, "digital twins", and modeling automation technologies into the methodology of advanced spatial planning of complex urban systems. The methodology of strategic urban planning for regions and macroregions is based on a system of laws and principles of dialectical unity in goal-setting, forecasting, programming, and design and implementation of solutions for their development. In total, ten paired groups of principles are presented, taking into account five patterns, each of which includes three principles. Within the framework of this study, a synthesis of specialized concepts is used in the areas of strategic urban planning and information planning and modeling, and the notion of strong artificial urban intelligence is defined. The composition of urban planning information platforms includes heuristic, simulation, software, design, and implementation automonitoring platforms, as well as their most important modeling functions based on the "digital twin" of the object planned, introduction of appropriate advanced scientific and technological knowledge, integration of successful practices, and mechanisms for diagnosing and monitoring the implementation of solutions for the development of regional settlement systems. The theoretical and diagnostic structure of criteria for assessing the territorial and spatial development of regions is demonstrated.

Our intention in writing this work was to identify methods that were used in Russian landscaped garden design on the example of St. Petersburg estates and the Bogoroditsky palace and park ensemble created by A.T. Bolotov, and to reveal differences between Russian and English landscaped parks. The study suggests that the Russian park was very different from the English one. Whereas the English park would be created as a visual sequence (a system of park pictures) in which different panoramas were constructed from different perspectives, Russian park designers sought to create the space of the park as a pathway between individual scenes. English parks were living pictures, and Russian natural gardens were 3D spaces. As a conclusion, Russian parks had a decentralized composition and were structured as a system of scenes (glades with architectural or natural objects) and «dark alleys» (transit spaces) connecting them, and the immersive environment of the Russian garden implied the depth of the space.

Authors:   Siberian Federal University, Liu Tianquan ,   Institute of National Arts and Cultural Policy of China
Published: February 2024

Guohua, classical Chinese painting, has not lost its significance and is part of the modern art of the PRC. Liu Haisu, a Chinese artist and teacher, combined the laws of guohua and European art in his work. Basing on these principles, he sought to reform art education in China. He is considered one of the iconic figures in the history of the fine arts of the Celestial Empire, but his personality is little known in Russian art history. This paper focuses on the creativity pathway of Liu Haisu, the outcome of which was return to mainstream traditional Chinese guohua painting. It is the first work that systematizes and introduces to the research community foreign publications about Liu Haisu, which are practically unknown in Russia. Studying these sources makes it possible to understand what principles the modern art of the PRC is based on, the genesis of which is analyzed from the standpoint of Liu Haisu’s career as a painter. The paper explores the painter’s creativity heritage, representing a synthesis between Eastern and Western approaches to fine arts.

Published: February 2024

Indonesia is a country with the largest Muslim population in the world. This affects the culture and patterns of public consumption of halal and thayyib products. The obligation to consume halal food and thayyib in the sharia review of Muslims is written in the Al Quran and Hadith. Demand for halal products and public awareness of purchasing halal products has increased. This is supported by the Regulation of the Minister of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia No. 26 of 2019 in article 27 which states that products that enter, circulate and trade in the territory of Indonesia must be halal certified. List of products that must be halal certified, in the form of products (food, beverages, medicines, cosmetics, chemical-biological-genetically engineered products, and used goods) and services (slaughter, processing, storage, packaging, distribution, sales and presentation). SMKN 5 Jember is one of the vocational high schools in Jember which has produced processed food products such as bread. In an effort to improve product quality and quality, it is necessary to carry out a halal certification process for bread products from the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH). This is a strong reason for academics to evaluate the socialization and mentoring activities carried out for students of SMKN 5 Jember so that they can register bakery products so that they have a halal certificate. The socialization method is carried out using 2 ways, namely lectures and question and answer. The evaluation activity was carried out by giving pre-tests (tests before material explanation) and post-tests (tests after material explanations) to students to measure the effect of socialization on students knowledge of SMKN 5 Jember regarding halal products. Based on the test results it was concluded that the socialization activities carried out were able to increase the knowledge of SMKN 5 Jember students regarding the criteria for halal products. In addition, it is hoped that the existence of halal certification for bakery products at SMKN 5 Jember will become an embryo for the formation of halal food in the school area.

Oil is one of the major sources of energy in the world today, therefore many sectors of the economy are directly or indirectly dependent on oil as a source of energy. These has made oil price fluctuation to one of the most sort after macroeconomic variable due to its potential effects on the global economy. The primary objective of this paper was to investigate the effects of oil price shocks on foreign exchange rate of the three East African countries using SVAR analysis for the period from 1990 to 2022. Our empirical evidence confirmed that the increase in the price of crude oil in leads to a positive change in foreign exchange to the Dollar, the SVAR estimation confirmed positive significant effect of oil price fluctuation on foreign exchange trends, the results of the IRF pointed out oil price fluctuation positively affect the East Africa’s foreign exchange performance and finally the FEVD of oil price fluctuation on foreign exchange reflected that there exist indirect effects of oil price fluctuation on foreign exchange as well as foreign exchange influencing oil price after the second period. Based on these findings we therefore conclude that crude oil price fluctuations contribute significantly to the foreign exchange variability in the East African countries and hence affecting other sectors of the economy inversely.It is on this ground that we recommend adoption of policies that will reduce this effect on this countries, to start with to reduce the burden the countries should look for alternative locally available source of power that include adoption of Bi-diesel, compressed methane that can be source from sugar cane give the un tapped potential of sugar can in the three countries. In addition, the countries can consider price hedging of oil purchases where the countries enter into contract with their oil supplies for a constant crude oil price over the contract period.

Substitution of amino acid residues in the cytochrome b protein from Phytophthora infestans: functional implications and azoxystrobin sensitivity
Authors:   , Alves Gabriel
Published: February 2024

Late blight is caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans and is one of the main biotic factors that compromise yields of potato and tomato crops. Management of late blight is almost exclusively dependent on the application of oomicides. Azoxystrobin is a site-specific active ingredient that has "transkingdom" action, once it can be effective against fungal and oomycete plant pathogens. Unfortunately, reports of both fungal and oomycetes resistant to azoxystrobin are relatively common. Nevertheless, to date, there is no report of resistance in populations of P. infestans to azoxystrobin. The use of computational methods of molecular modeling applied to the study of proteins can help in the evaluation of the reasons why events of resistance to azoxystrobin have not been observed so far. For P. infestans, all positions in cytochrome b protein (cytB) that correspond to the loss of efficiency to azoxystrobin are set back one position in relation to the sequences of cytB of other microorganisms, with position 142 being the most important for the loss of efficiency of the molecule. The region around the site of interaction with the oomicide in P. infestans cytB is slightly variable, supporting less than 33% of the total number of possible substitutions. Position 142 can support a large number of residues without compromising stability, but which lead to resistance to azoxystrobin, which highlights the high risk of resistance events to this molecule. The non-occurrence of resistance to azoxystrobin in P. infestans seems to be related to a genomic factor that governs the stability of the cytochrome b gene sequence, since from the biophysical point of view there is no impediment to resistance to azoxystrobin. Such an approach may favor the understanding of the rules that govern the oomicide-protein molecular target interaction, serving as a theoretical subsidy for predicting the probability of loss of sensitivity in the plant pathogen population, as for other molecules that target the same protein. It is also expected that the adoption of this approach may help in the rational design of other oomicides and fungicides, and also control efficiency monitoring. Keywords: Molecular modeling. Oomicides. Protein diversity.

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a significant public health issue in Pakistan, affecting up to 63% of children, as revealed by the Pakistan National Nutritional Survey 2018. While oral iron remains the primary choice, challenges in compliance have led to the consideration of intravenous (IV) iron therapy, particularly iron sucrose. The study discusses the safety and efficacy of IV iron therapy in Pakistani children and aims to broaden our understanding of treating IDA in resource-constrained regions.
Aims & Objectives: To determine the average hemoglobin (Hb) increase in iron-deficient-anemic children aged 01 to 12 years after treatment with intravenous iron sucrose.
Place and Duration of Study: A quasi-experimental study was undertaken at Fauji Foundation Hospital in Rawalpindi, spanning from September 2021 to September 2022.
Material & Methods: The study focused on a cohort of pediatric patients aged between 1 and 12 years, all of whom were diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia and had previously encountered ineffective outcomes with oral iron therapy. In this investigation, the patients received treatment involving intravenous iron sucrose. Subsequently, their progress was diligently monitored after a period of 8 weeks. Improvement in hemoglobin level was assessed at the end of treatment to evaluate its efficacy.Data processing and statistical analysis were carried out using SPSS version 23,p-value of <0.05 indicated statistical significance.
Results: Out of 150 study cases, 96 (64.0 %) were male, while 54 (36.0 %) were female. The mean age of our study cases was 05 ± 2.3 years of these 150 study cases, 74 (49.3 %) belonged to rural areas, and 76 (50.7 %) belonged to urban areas. Poor socioeconomic status was noted in 97 (64.7 %), and 53 (35.3%) were middle-income. A family history of iron deficiency anaemia was recorded in 16 (10.7%). Iron deficiency due to dietary iron insufficiency was reported in 67 (44.7%), Total Parentral Nutrition (TPN) dependencywas seen in 61 (40.7%) and 22 (14.7%) had chronic gastritis. The mean baseline (pretreatment) haemoglobin level was 7.71 ± 0.63 g/dl, while the mean post-treatment haemoglobin level was 10.68 ± 0.60 g / dl (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: After intravenous iron sucrose, we noted a significant rise in paediatric patients' hemoglobin levels, emphasizing its effectiveness and safety. Statistically, we found correlations with age, family history, and causes. Healthcare practitioners should consider injectable iron treatments for better results and reduced health issues in this group.

Introduction: Grape seed extract (vitis vinifera) contains antioxidant compounds with ability to prevent aluminium chloride induced hepatotoxicity.
Aims & Objectives: To study the effects of grape seed extract on body weight, liver weight and relative tissue weight index in aluminium chloride treated rats.
Place and Duration of Study: This experimental study study was conducted at the Animal House of Post Graduate Medical Institute, Lahore. Duration of study was February 2017 to February 2018.
Material & Methods: 24 adult, healthy albino rats (male) were divided in to three groups. Group A was given distilled water by gavage (1ml/day), Group B was given aluminium chloride (34mg/kg body weight) and group C was given aluminium chloride plus grape seed extract (34mg/kg and 200 mg/kg body weight) by gavage. Whole treatment continued for 42 days. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 was used for entering and analyzing data.p value of ? 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: A significant difference in body weights of Group B and C rats was noted at the end of the study. Mean liver weight was significantly reduced in aluminium treated group and near normal restoration of liver weight was seen in group C receiving grape seed extract.
Conclusion: Excessive aluminium chloride exposure led to a reduction in body weight, and liver weight. Grape seed extract being an antioxidant improved these effects.
