Authors: Probst Hervé , Probst Hervé , Vedani Sébastien , Guillou Louis , Bron Cédric , Saucy François
Published: June 2021

Background: Myxoma is a rare tumor most frequently discovered in cardiac locations. The present report describes a rare case of extracardiac origin in the femoral vein, initially presenting as leg pain and swelling.
Case Presentation: A 40-year-old woman was admitted to our regional hospital with unilateral left leg swelling and pain. She underwent a Duplex scan and CT scan, which revealed a 21 x 25 mm diameter mass in contact with the distal femoral vein, initially diagnosed as a thrombosed sacciform aneurysm. The patient underwent surgical excision of a bulging mass in the vein wall, which was directly closed by running suture. The anatomopathological report concluded with a myxoma. One-year follow-up showed a patent vein without evidence of recurrence of the tumor.
Conclusion: Although very rare, peripheral venous myxoma may manifest with common symptoms as leg pain and swelling. Current vascular imaging and complete surgical excision should be performed without delay to allow a precise diagnosis and prevent further complications.

A canola (Brassica napus L. var oleífera) é uma cultura alternativa de inverno para rotação, cuja plantabilidade pode ser afetada pela velocidade de semeadura. O objetivo da pesquisa foi avaliar os efeitos da velocidade de semeadura na distribuição de plantas e produtividade da canola. O experimento de campo foi conduzido no ano de 2017 em delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições. A cultivar de canola Hyola 61 foi utilizada na semeadura realizada em cinco velocidades de distribuição (2,0; 2,9; 5,3; 7,8; 9,2 km h-1), em fileiras espaçadas a 45 cm e ajustado para distribuir 18 plantas m-1. As variáveis analisadas foram número de plantas m-2, relação entre a população real e a população de referência, espaçamentos múltiplos, aceitáveis e falhos, média das distâncias entre plantas, precisão de distribuição e produtividade de grãos. O aumento da velocidade de semeadura proporcionou maior desuniformidade de distribuição com aumento de espaços falhos e múltiplos bem como redução na percentagem de espaçamentos aceitáveis. A semeadura na velocidade entre 2,0 a 5,3 km h-1 foi considerada satisfatória para proporcionar melhor uniformidade e distribuição das plantas na fileira. A precisão e a produtividade da canola não foram afetadas pelo aumento da velocidade de semeadura. Assim, a qualidade da semeadura da canola depende do ajuste da velocidade de distribuição das sementes.

Burkina Faso: Community education program scaled-up in Burkina Faso
Authors:   Frontiers in Reproductive Health
Published: June 2021

The government of Burkina Faso is committed to the improvement of women’s reproductive health. Within this context, the Population Council’s FRONTIERS Program collaborated with two nongovernmental organizations, Tostan in Senegal and Mwangaza Action in Burkina Faso, to replicate the Tostan community-based education program. Originally developed in Senegal, this program provides modules in local languages on hygiene, problem solving, women’s health, and human rights as a means of promoting community empowerment to facilitate social change. The intervention, implemented from 2000 to 2003 in the provinces of Bazega and Zoundwéogo in Burkina Faso, compared the performance of 23 participating villages with 23 control villages. To measure the program’s impact on awareness, attitudes, and behavior regarding reproductive health and female genital cutting, researchers conducted pre- and post-intervention surveys of women and men in the intervention and control areas, and qualitative interviews with key community members. To measure the diffusion of knowledge, researchers surveyed men and women who lived in the intervention area but did not participate in the study. They also assessed pre-and post-intervention changes in the number of girls under 10 who had been cut.
Repositioning post partum care in Kenya
Authors:   The Safe Motherhood Demonstration Project
Published: June 2021

In Kenya, although 45 percent of maternal deaths occur within the first 24 hours after childbirth and 65 percent of maternal deaths occur during the first week postpartum, health-care providers continue to advise on a first check-up six weeks after childbirth. The early postpartum period is also critical to newborn survival, with 50–70 percent of life-threatening newborn illnesses occurring in the first week. Yet most strategies to reduce maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality have focused on pregnancy and birth. In addition to the heavy workload of providers who do not assess the mother post-delivery when she may bring her infant for immunization, lack of knowledge, poverty, cultural beliefs and practices perpetuate the problem. The only register that exists for mothers post-delivery is for family planning, thus perpetuating the lack of emphasis on the early postpartum period with no standardized register to record care given. To address this gap in service delivery, the Population Council defined the minimal services a mother and baby should receive from a skilled attendant after birth. As stated in this brief, the development of a standardized postpartum register is one step toward advocating for providing early postpartum care among health-service providers.

Published: June 2021

The increasing number of cars that have been released to the market makes it more difficult for buyer to choose the choice of car that fits with their desired criteria such as transmission, number of kilometers, fuel type, and the year the car was made. The method that is suitable in determining the criteria desired by the community is the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). This method is used to find the lowest distance from each data in a car with the criteria desired by the buyer. Euclidean, Manhattan, and Minkowski distance are used for measuring the distance. For supporting the selection of cars, we need an automatic data col-lection method by using web crawling in which the system can retrieve car data from several ecommerce websites. With the construction of the car search system, the system can help the buyer in choosing a car and Euclidean distance has the best accuracy of 94.40%.

Authors: Arifin Muhammad Amad , Fathurrozie Fathurrozie
Published: June 2021

Air sangat berpengaruh pada sifat-sifat teknis tanah dan juga air berperan sangat penting dalam masalah-masalah teknis yang berhubungan dengan tanah yaitu permeabilitas. Permeabilitas tanah yaitu kecepatan air yang menembus tanah pada periode tertentu dan dinyatakan dalam cm/jam. Nilai permeabilitas sangat penting dalam menentukan penggunaan dan pengelolaan praktis tanah. Koefisien permeabilitas tanah memiliki nilai yang berbeda untuk berbagai jenis tanah. Ada dua macam alat untuk menentukan nilai permeabilitas, yaitu constant head permeameter dan  falling head permeameter.

Lokasi penelitian tanggul canal blocking berada di Hutan Lindung Liang Anggang yang terletak di Kecamatan Liang Anggang, Kota Banjarbaru, Provinsi Kalimantan Selatan. Dimana tubuh tanggul canal blocking menggunakan tanah urugan setempat (tanah gambut) dijadikan tubuh tanggul canal blocking. Tugas Akhir ini menggunakan metode survei dan pengambilan data tanah pada kawasan tanggul canal blocking.

Bila dilihat nilai permeabilitasnya pada tubuh tanggul yang didapat, termasuk kelas sangat rendah yaitu kurang < 0,125 cm/jam. Jadi penggunaan tanah urugan setempat untuk dijadikan tubuh tanggul sudah cukup efektif .

Water is very influential on the technical properties of soil and also water plays a very important role in the technical problems related to soil, namely permeability. Soil permeability is the speed of water that penetrates the soil in a certain period and is expressed in cm / hour. Permeability values ​​are very important in determining the practical use and management of land. The soil permeability coefficient has different values ​​for various types of soil. There are two types of tools for determining permeability values, namely constant permeability head and permeability falling head.

The research location of the canal blocking dikes is in the Liang Anggang Protected Forest located in Liang Anggang District, Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan Province. Where the canal blocking embankment body uses local soil (peat soil) as a canal blocking embankment body. This Final Project uses a survey and retrieval of soil data in the canal blocking embankment area.

If you see the permeability value on the embankment body obtained, including the class is very low, which is less than 0.125 cm / hour. So the use of local land to be used for embankment is quite effective.

Authors: Bolobanova N. L. , Garber E. A.
Published: June 2021

Perfection of rolled stock production processes at continuous wide-strip hot rolling mill (CWHRM) aimed at minimization of metal consumption, is an effective mean to decrease its cost. In the process of slabs rolling at CWHRM, the metal consumption is stipulated first of all by complicated workpiece forming in roughing stands during consecutive reduction by vertical and horizontal rolls. Results of the numerical study of slab deformation with different values of reduction in vertical rolls of roughing stands of mill 2000 are presented. The implementation of rolling process model based on application of DEFORM-3D program of finiteelement analysis described for evaluation of metal shifting from the edges of slab in the direction of the middle of the width. The convergence of the simulation results with the measurements data of workpiece forming during roughing rolling at Severstal mill 2000 was experimentally confirmed. It was found that an increase of reduction in vertical rolls has no significant effect on the metal shifting from a narrow edge to a wide one. Increase the total reduction in vertical rolls leads to an unfavorable stress-strain state of the edge region and the Cockcroft–Latham criterion rises by 20–30%. It was proposed to reduce the total reduction in the vertical rolls of the roughing stands of mill 2000 down to 40–50 mm. It was shown that increase of time of slab moving from the heating furnace to the scale breaker causes growth the Cockcroft-Latham criterion and does not affect the amount of metal shifting from a narrow face to a wide one. The proposed method of simulation the process of slab deformation in the roughing group of the mill 2000 proved by results of industrial rolling can to be used for further study of the effect of rolls profiling and forming of surface defects with the provision of minimal metal shifting onto a wide face.

The prevalence of vaping, also known as using e-cigarettes, vapes, vape pens, or electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) has prompted a demand for reliable, evidence-based research.1 However, published literature on the topic of vaping is often unreliable, characterized by serious flaws and a failure to adhere to accepted scientific methodologies. In this narrative review, we analyze 24 popular vaping studies, published in medical journals, that purport to evaluate the association of vaping and smoking initiation, smoking cessation or health outcomes. We analyzed these studies to identify the questions they claimed to address, stated methods, manner of implementation, discussions, and stated conclusions. After critical appraisal, we noted a multiplicity of flaws in these studies, and identified patterns as to the nature of such flaws. Many studies lacked a clear hypothesis statement: to the extent that a hypothesis could be inferred, the methods were not tailored to address the question of interest. Moreover, main outcome measures were poorly identified, and data analysis was further complicated by failure to control for confounding factors. The body of literature on “gateway” theory for the initiation of smoking was particularly unreliable. Overall, the results and discussion contained numerous unreliable assertions due to poor methods, including data collection that lacked relevance, and assertions that were unfounded. Many researchers claimed to find a causal association while not supporting such findings with meaningful data: the discussions and conclusions of such studies were therefore misleading. Herein, we identify the common flaws in the study design, methodology, and implementation found in published vaping studies. Our aim is to prompt future researchers to adhere to scientific methods to produce more reliable findings and conclusions in the field of vaping research.

Gangguan pendengaran pada masa bayi dapat menyebabkan gangguan bicara, berbahasa, kognitif, masalah sosial, dan emosional sehingga dapat menurunkan kualitas hidup seseorang. The Joint Committee of Infants Hearing (JCIH) tahun 2007 menyatakan asfiksia neonatorum sebagai salah satu faktor risiko gangguan pendengaran pada neonatus. Hipoksia pada bayi dengan kondisi asfiksia dapat menyebabkan kerusakan pada outer hair cell (OHC) dan edema stria vaskularis sehingga mengganggu fungsi koklea. Kerusakan outer hair cell dapat dinilai dengan pemeriksaan Otoacoustic Emission (OAE). Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis hubungan kejadian asfiksia neonatorum terhadap gangguan fungsi koklea pada neonatus. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik observasional dengan metode cross sectional. Penelitian ini dilakukan di RSD dr. Soebandi dan RSU Kaliwates Jember pada 29 November 2019 - 8 Januari 2020 di Ruang Perinatologi. Pengambilan data menggunakan consecutive sampling. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan Chi-square test dengan p-value < 0,05.  Dari 16 neonatus, 8 neonatus memiliki riwayat asfiksia derajat sedang dan 8 neonatus lainnya tidak memiliki riwayat asfiksia. Gangguan fungsi koklea ditemukan pada 3 (37,5%) neonatus dengan asfiksia derajat sedang dan 6 (75%) neonatus tanpa riwayat asfiksia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan antara asfiksia neonatorum derajat sedang dengan gangguan fungsi koklea (p=0,142).

Published: June 2021

According to the Ministry of Health in Indonesia, in 2018, there are about 640 thousand cases of people with HIV within the death rate of 38 thousand people. This number grows annually, in fact, according to WHO, there are approximately 38 million people who are diagnosed with HIV in the world in 2019.  Thus, HIV-AIDS is a dangerous health problem and needs to be taken care of as soon as possible. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a retrovirus that got its name from the infecting immune cells in the human body. There are two types of HIV, named HIV-1 and HIV-2. Both have the same basic gene arrangement, transmission process, intracellular replication lane, and both cause AIDS. The differences between them are the HIV-1 spreads globally, while HIV-2 locally happens in West Africa. Currently, ART (Antiretroviral Therapy) is the most commonly used method of treatment for HIV-1. Treatment for HIV-1 with ART is effective in controlling HIV-1 virus replication but has not been able to completely eradicate the latent viral reservoir. In the past few years, it is known that there is a CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat) method that can modify genes (DNA) in the body of an organism. However, apart from its potential in handling HIV-1, there are still obstacles in the mechanism.

Authors: Utami Moh. Shofi Nur , Sutanto Heri , Anam Choirul , Laksono Muharam Budi
Published: June 2021

Size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) is dose metrics of computed tomography, to calculate SSDE we first calculate the patient's body size. In CT head examination, the head size is better to use water-equivalent diameter (Dw), because Dw considers tissue attenuation. CT Head examination with contrast agent increased patient attenuation and increased Dw. In this study, we observed the effect of contrast agent on the Dw value on the axial image of patients with CT head examination. A total of 96 patients underwent a CT Head examination with a contrast agent in the two CT scan modalities. 46 patients underwent CT Head examination with contrast agent using CT Scanner Toshiba Alexion 16 and 50 patients underwent CT Head examination with contrast agent using CT Scanner GE Medical System Optima CT660. Dw value is calculated automatically using IndoseCT version 20b. We compared the Dw pre-contrast and Dw post-contrast values with the two independent sample t-test statistical analysis. To consider the effect of changing Dw values on SSDE we normalized dose coefficient (NDC). We did not find a significant difference between Dw pre-contrast and Dw post-contrast. The P-value statistical analysis results for the CT Scanner Toshiba Alexion 16 and the CT Scanner GE Medical System Optima CT660 were 0.65 and 0.45. The NDC change in this study was below 20%. On CT Head examination, the Dw and SSDE pre-contrast values can be used to estimate the Dw and SSDE post-contrast values.

Sonuç olarak deneysel olarak hafif travmatik beyin hasarı oluşturduğumuz ratlarda 2.saatte alınan kanlarda pNF-H düzeylerindeki değişiklikler istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Bu sonuçlar hafif travmatik beyin hasarından sonraki 2.saatte kanda çalışılan pNF-H’ın tanısal olarak etkin olmadığını göstermektedir.

Authors: Farinango Luis
Published: June 2021

El perfeccionamiento de los dispositivos digitales ha provocado que diversos sectores entren en tensión y crisis. Uno de ellos es el sector de la educación superior en la rama de la comunicación en las organizaciones. La realidad demanda del entendimiento y la práctica de una comunicación más interactiva, mientras que en el aula se sigue hablando de modelos que están lejos de la realidad. En ese marco, el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los efectos de una estrategia de educación que hemos denominado ABP Transmedia. La metodología es mixta y se enmarca dentro de la investigación acción. La inserción del relato en la asignatura de comunicación organizacional dinamiza la clase y desarrolla competencias como el trabajo colaborativo y la resolución de problemas. No obstante, se identifican limitaciones en la producción y participación.

Effects Of Virtual Reality (VR) On The Intention To Donate Money And Time: The Role Of Empathy, Guilt, Responsibility And Social Exclusion
Authors: Kandaurova Maria
Published: June 2021

Virtual Reality (VR) technology has reached the mainstream market and is in the early stages of being used for charitable purposes. The aim of this research is to investigate and explain the effects of VR on empathy, guilt, responsibility, and donation of time and money in the social marketing context. Supported by the media richness theory (MRT) and the social presence theory (SPT), the results of three experimental studies suggest that VR, when compared to traditional two-dimensional video media (VM), increases empathy, increases responsibility, and encourages higher intention to donate and volunteer towards a social cause. Furthermore, it was shown that VR counteracts the negative effects of social exclusion on prosocial behaviour. In socially excluded participants, VR enhanced the level of guilt and social responsibility, leading to a higher intention to volunteer. Surprisingly, VR was not effective in promoting higher intention of money donation in socially excluded participants.

This work focusses on comparative determination of the effects of plant extracts: bitter leaf (BL), sour lime (SL), grape (G), pawpaw (PP) and unripe pineapple (UPA) in female rats induced into malaria with Plasmodium berghei. Thirty female rats weighing 120-160 g were allotted into five groups (n=6). Group A (negative control) were infected but not treated. Animals in Groups B–E which were infected were given 500 mg/kg body weight (BW) of malanter DS (reference antimalarial drug), 500 mg/kg BW of BL, 250 mg/kg BW each of SL and BL as well as 250 mg/kg BW each of G, PP and UPA. Treatment was done orally once daily for 14 days after which a few related analyses were carried out. Before treatment, parasitemia count of animals in groups B-E was substantially (p<0.05) higher when juxtaposed with group A. AST and ALT activities was substantively (p<0.05) elevated in group B-E when matched with group A. Plasmodium berghei induction notably (p<0.05) lowered white blood cell (WBC) and monocyte (Mono) levels at all groups. After 7 days of treatment, the extracts and drug which appreciably (p<0.05) lowered plasmodium count, RBC, WBC, PCV, Hb, Plat, Lymph, Mono, Granul levels did not meaningfully (p>0.05) affect the activities of ALP, AST and ALT. After 14 days of treatment, the extracts and drug exceptionally (p<0.05) reduced plasmodium count, WBC and ALP activity at all groups. These results give suggestive evidence that the plant extracts either singly or combined, could be a promising anti-plasmodial candidate.
DEMAND-SIDE MANAGEMENT FOR ENERGY PRODUCTION USING MICRO COMBINED HEAT AND POWER SYSTEM – A REVIEW
Authors: Abdulsalam Hassan , Nuhu Ibrahim
Published: June 2021

World development increased dramatically ever since the Industrial Revolution, in particular after  second world war (WWII), which drove the rise of energy consumption. Thus, energy consumption in the World has been growing continuously in the past 50 years. Using micro Combined Heat and Power (mCHP) allows energy scheduling and demand-side management depending on different variables which will benefit users and suppliers. Different researches have been conducted due to increasing interest from researchers to increase and optimise the advantages of energy scheduling. In addition to the mCHP system, optimisation process also includes distributed energy sources (solar panels) with electricity storage. On the demand side, various devices with different load profiles which can be controlled over time can be considered. This study therefore, being a desktop based one, sought to review the energy demand-side management as it applies to the use of mCHP in residential settings.
Crisis process in the development of European Countries at the current stage of the EU
Authors: Humeniuk Tetjana
Published: June 2021

Purpose.. The aim of the article is to analyze the issues of the relationship between the phenomena of convergence and divergence on the basis of the activities of the European Union. Methodology. The methodology involves a comprehensive study of theoretical and practical material on this subject, as well as formulation of relevant conclusions and recommendations. The following methods of scientific cognition were used in the research process: dialectical, terminological, formal and logical, comparative and legal, system and functional methods. Results. The study found that the crisis process observed in the development of the EU has given impetus not only to Euroscepticism, but also to the intensive search for new approaches to the development of European integration. The crisis in the EU stimulates attempts to implement the course on completing the formation of the EMU. Global financial and economic crises have a more significant negative impact on the dynamics of GDP of «outsider countries» compared to «leading countries», and differences between them are increasing as a result. The politicization of international economic relations usually strengthens the position of developed countries and weakens all others, which leads to a similar result. Imperfect policies for the integration of the emigrant population into European society are exacerbating relations between the native population of European countries and immigrants, growing anti-immigrant sentiment and mass protests by Europeans against the migration policies of national governments. Scientific novelty. The study found that most EU leaders are fully aware of the need for structural convergence, namely overcoming structural and cyclical differences among the economies of euro-area countries, as well as the main and secondary risks of divergence as a destructive phenomenon that can disrupt the established social, political, legal and economic order within the EU. Practical significance. Research materials can be used for comparative law studies.
The right to information in the legislation on corporate relations: national and foreign regulation experience
Authors: Soloviov Borys
Published: June 2021

The purpose of the article is to carry out a theoretical and legal analysis of the right to information in national and foreign legislation on corporate relations and to develop substantiated theoretical conclusions on the improvement of national corporate legislation. Methodology. The following general scientific methods were used in the process of research object analysis: the method of analysis, synthesis, deduction, abstraction, comparison, system-structural, structural-logical methods. Comparative legal and formal legal methods have become the basis for the analysis of national and foreign corporate legislation, identification of similarities and differences in the general principles of respective legal relations regulation. Results. The study found that the right to information is a guarantee of corporate rights and legally protected interests of corporate legal entity (corporation) members, as information enables corporation members to exercise their corporate rights properly. The analysis of national legislation gives grounds to state that the legal norms enshrining the right to information in corporate legal relations and the order of its realization, are formulated unsystematically and in an abstract way. National corporate legislation acts do not contain a detailed list and types of information to which a corporation member is entitled. Scientific novelty Analysis of the main corporate legislation acts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Commonwealth of Australia and Canada gives ground to state that the right to information in corporate relations is considered to be the right to any information about the corporation in the Anglo-Saxon legal family. Practical significance. The need of making changes to national corporate legislation acts in the process of recodification of the civil legislation of Ukraine has been proven. It has been proposed to recognize any information about the corporation and its activities as an object of corporate relations whether this information directly or indirectly concerns the exercise of members’ corporate rights or performance of respective duties, and to detail the way of the right to information realization in corporate legal relations.
