Published: May 2021

An interpretation of the first obtained Re-Os dating of pyrite and arsenopyrite of the Malinovsky gold ore deposit is given. A comparison of the obtained data and the known dates of the ore-bearing granitoids of the ore field made it possible to determine the age of mineralization at 100-90 Ma. This age corresponds to the time of completion of the Alb-Cenomanian transform margin of Asia continent geodynamic setting with significant left-shear kinematics, as indicated in the article by the structural features of the localization of ore bodies and magmatic bodies. The distribution of gold ore deposits in this time within the Sikhote-Alin orogenic belt and in the shear structures of the south of the Korean Peninsula are noticeably shown.

The paper investigates indications of the NW-trending hidden faults in the Priamurye region. Four maijor fault zones and a series of lower-rank faults are mapped, which are indicated by lineaments of the relief, magnetic anomalies and arranged earthquake foci sequences. The NW-trending faults control the block divisibility of the upper part of the lithosphere in the region and are currently seismically active. Two NW-trending hidden faults are characterized by a considerable amount of the seismic energy released which should be accounted for in the seismic hazard assessment of the region.
Impact of Air Pollutants on Agricultural Crops
Authors: Jayara Alok Singh
Published: May 2021

History of mankind has witnessed transformation in form of industrialization, urbanization and motorized transport in the past. These all had made the life easier for human but these also led to increase in level of pollutants in the atmosphere. These pollutants have cascading impact on agriculture. The impact of some of the major pollutants such as SO2, NOx and ozone is in the form of production of ROS, reduced photosynthesis and energy metabolism. The aerosol and particulate matter pollution also leads to reduced transpiration which raises the canopy temperature and also disturbs the water and nutrient uptake by the crop plants. To date most of the pollution related studies, especially in developing countries, are restricted to its impact on urban areas and human health. It is needed to extend these studies to impact of air pollution on agriculture. In this paper we have discussed the various mechanisms through which the pollutants act on the crop plants and their impact on yield.

Evaluation of Maize (Zea mays L.) Varieties for Moisture Stress Areas in Humbo District, Wolaita Zone, Southern Ethiopia
Authors: Senapathy M.
Published: May 2021

Maize is a priority crop to farmers because it is a staple food in many rural communities of the southern region. It is widely grown in the various parts of the southern region, from lowland to mid-highlands. On the other hand, moisture stress is one of the most critical production constraints of maize in low to intermediate agroecology. Thus, developing maize varieties tolerant to moisture is of paramount importance to sustain maize production in moisture areas. In this context, field experiments were conducted during 201617 croppings at Kindo Koyisha and Humbo to select adaptable maize varieties for moisture stress areas with reasonable grain yield. Treatments used in this study were eight maize varieties (BH546, BH547, Gibe II, MH130, Melkasa IV, MH140, Melkasa II, and Melkasa 6Q) and three local cultivars (Local red, Local mixed, and Local white) of the total of eleven maize genotypes were evaluated at two moisture-prone areas in southern Ethiopia. Treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Maize varieties exhibited different performances at two tested locations. The varieties had the relatively superior performance of Kindo Koyisha as compared to Humbo. The Humbo varieties MH140, MH130, BH546, and Melkasa IV, have yielded relatively higher grain than the rest of the areas. At the same time, the Kindo Koyisha maize varieties expressed relatively better performance concerning grain yield. It has been recorded that the varieties with superior performance with sounding grain yield were BH546, MH140, BH547, and MH130 in these locations. Based on this result, BH546, MH140, and MH130 could be used at both locations. Moreover, BH547 at Bale and Melkasa IV at Humbo also be used in respective locations for production.
The “Protocols” for the Hittite “Royal Guard” during the Old Kingdom: Observations on Elite Military Units and their Possible Warfare Applications
Authors: Ferreira Eduardo
Published: May 2021

In this article, we intend to analyse the importance and modus operandi of a military unit (generally known as “Royal Guard”) whose function was, among other things, the protection of the Hattuša-based Hittite kings. For this essay, we will be mainly using two Hittite textual sources known as “instructions” or “protocols”. We aim to find a connection between these guards and their function regarding the protection of the royal palace as well as their military enlistment in that elite unit. The period to be covered in this analysis comes directly from the choice of sources: the Hittite Old Kingdom, confined between the chronological beacons of the 17th, 16th and 15th centuries BC. With this analysis, we intend to provide some relevant data that may contribute to a better understanding of these elite military units, particularly in regards to their probable warfare functions. Were they used in battle? How were they armed? What was their tactical importance in combat? How was the recruitment done? How were the units formed? These will be some questions that we will try to answer throughout this article. Keywords: guard, palace, command, warfare, infantry

It has been established that the degree of adaptation of the northern domestic deer to the harsh conditions of existence in various natural-climatic zones of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is very high, which is manifested in a minor difference in the duration of the generic process and behavioral reactions at the vainer of the mountain and tundra and tundra dilution zones.
The Importance of Supporting MSMEs’ Digitalization in Indonesia
Authors: Michelle
Published: May 2021

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a very vital role in the development and economic growth in Indonesia. According to the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, in 2020, MSMEs have a total of 60% contribution to the Gross Domestic Bruto and 90% contribution to the national workforce absorption. Therefore, the recovery of MSMEs is very important for the well-being of the national economy. The Covid-19 pandemic must encourage MSMEs actors to transform their businesses if they want to survive. Business digitalization during the Covid-19 pandemic is growing faster. Therefore, the recovery of MSMEs cannot be separated from the utilization of information technology.

Published: May 2021

The study investigated the effects of focused ultrasound on human brain tissue to assess intensities at which focused ultrasound might cause irreversible structural cell damage. FUS does not appear to cause significant heating or cavitation to brain tissue when Ispta remains below 25 W/cm2. However, as the tissue was fixed immediately post-sonication, there was not sufficient time for apoptosis to develop, leaving open the possibility that a lower intensity over a longer period of time may cause stress and damage to the cell, leading to its eventual death. While additional studies should continue to further ensure the safety of this novel and important technology, this furthers the notion that, at the current FDA-approved levels, and potentially beyond, tFUS is likely a safe clinical technology.
Amplified salience of somatic information in persistent depression
Authors: Bevan Anna , Hitchcock Caitlin , Mitchell Daniel , Dalgleish Tim
Published: May 2021

Disrupted bodily awareness may reflect mechanisms which drive both symptomatology and disorder maintenance in clinical depression. We investigated attentional capture by somatic signals in clinically depressed individuals and healthy controls as one aspect of bodily awareness. Attentional performance in a cross-modal covert orienting task was globally disrupted when depressed participants attempted to ignore uninformative somatic cues, in a largely modality-specific manner. In a subsequent study employing a similar paradigm, attention was disproportionately captured in depressed participants by informative somatic cues, in a similarly modality-specific way. Taken together, the results suggest that the salience of somatic signals is amplified in clinical depression, and that attempts to ignore them may have a disruptive effect on attentional processing more generally in this population.
Is there proactive inhibitory control during bilingual and bidialectal language production?
Authors: Declerck Mathieu , Özbakar Elisabeth , Kirk Neil William
Published: May 2021

The bilingual language control literature generally assumes that cross-language interference resolution relies on inhibition of the non-target language. A similar approach has been taken in the bidialectal language control literature. However, there is little evidence along these lines for proactive language control, which entails a control process that is implemented as an anticipation of any cross-language interference. To further investigate the possibility of proactive inhibitory control, we examined the effect of language variety preparation time, by manipulating the cue-to-stimulus interval, on parallel language activation, by manipulating cognate status. If proactive language control relies on inhibition, one would expect less parallel language activation (i.e., a smaller cognate facilitation effect) with increased proactive inhibitory control (i.e., a long cue-to-stimulus interval). This was not the case with either bilinguals or bidialectals. So, the current study does not provide evidence for proactive inhibitory control during bilingual and bidialectal language production.
Development and Validation of the Certainty About Mental States Questionnaire (CAMSQ): A Self-Report Measure of Mentalizing Oneself and Others
Authors: Müller Sascha , Wendt Leon Patrick , Zimmermann Johannes
Published: May 2021

The Certainty About Mental States Questionnaire (CAMSQ) is a self-report measure of the perceived capacity to understand mental states of the self and others (i.e., mentalizing). In two studies (total N = 1828), we developed the CAMSQ in both English and German as a two-dimensional measure of Self- and Other-Certainty, investigated associations with other measures of mentalizing, and explored relationships to personality functioning and mental health. The CAMSQ performed well in terms of convergent and discriminant validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and measurement invariance across the United States and Germany. The present research indicates that the CAMSQ assesses maladaptive forms of having too little or too much certainty about mental states (consistent with hypomentalizing and hypermentalizing). A psychologically adaptive profile of perceived mentalizing capacity appears to be characterized by high Self-Certainty that exceeds Other-Certainty, suggesting that imbalances between Self-Certainty and Other-Certainty (Other-Self-Discrepancy) play an important role within personality pathology.

Published: May 2021

The technique of long-form recordings via wearables is gaining momentum in different fields of research, notably linguistics and pathology. This technique, however, poses several technical challenges, some of which are amplified by the peculiarities of the data, including their sensitivity and their volume. In this paper, we begin by outlining key problems related to the management, storage, and sharing of the corpora that emerge when using this technique. We continue by proposing a multi-component solution to these problems, specifically in the case of daylong recordings of children. As part of this solution, we release ChildProject, a python package for performing the operations typically required by such datasets and for evaluating the reliability of annotations using a number of measures commonly used in speech processing and linguistics. Our proposal could be generalized to other populations.
Testing Causal Explanations of Viewing Time Measures of Sexual Interests
Authors: Schmidt Alexander F. , Koppehele-Gossel Judith , Banse Rainer , Imhoff Roland
Published: May 2021

The term viewing time (VT) effect refers to a phenomenon whereby respondents typically take longer to judge the sexual attractiveness of targets from sexually preferred (versus nonpreferred) categories. Although frequently characterized as an unobtrusive measure of respondents’ sexually motivated reactions to the stimulus images themselves, the typical pattern of response times might be sufficiently explained by the task demands of the seemingly less relevant rating task. Utilizing three different VT variants, the present paper reports an experimental investigation (N = 136 heterosexual women and men) that tested hypotheses derived from hot stimulus-based processes versus cold cognitive task-based processes. Specifically, stimulus-based processes would predict VT effects even without a rating task, greater VT effects for sexually more suggestive images, and correlations of VT effects with individual sex drive differences. The task-based processes would not imply such predictions, but instead suggest identical response patterns for abstract non-pictorial stimuli that require the same feature integration. Results unanimously speak to the relevance of task demands but provide no support for stimulus-based processes. Implications of these findings for the causal explanation of VT effects are discussed.
Computationally-defined markers of uncertainty aversion predict trajectories of perceived threat and anxiety during a global pandemic

Published: May 2021

Exposure to stressful life events involving threat and uncertainty often results in the development of anxiety. However, the factors that confer risk and resilience for anxiety following real world stress at a computational level remain unclear. We identified core components of uncertainty aversion moderating response to stress posed by the COVID-19 pandemic derived from computational modelling of decision making. Using both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, we investigated both immediate effects at the onset of the stressor, as well as medium-term changes in response to persistent stress. 479 subjects based in the United States completed a decision-making task measuring risk aversion, loss aversion, and ambiguity aversion in the early stages of the pandemic (March 2020). Self-report measures targeting threat perception, anxiety, and avoidant behavior in response to the pandemic were collected at the same time point and 8 weeks later (May 2020). Cross-sectional analyses indicated that higher risk aversion predicted higher perceived threat from the pandemic, and ambiguity aversion for guaranteed gains predicted perceived threat and pandemic-related anxiety. In longitudinal analyses, ambiguity aversion for guaranteed gains predicted greater increases in perceived infection likelihood. Together, these results suggest that individuals who have a low-level aversion towards uncertainty show stronger negative reactions to both the onset and persistence of real-life stress.

The Internet of Things (IoT) connecting many electronic devices via internet has been ubiquitous in the last decade. For instance, electric or hybrid cars and autonomous vehicles which are supported by many automotive and IT companies. IoT does not only provide internal monitoring service of the devices, but also the environmental situation. Meanwhile, smartphones are equipped with embedded built-in sensors, and also providing wireless communications. In consequence, vehicular telematics based on smartphone is growing rapidly. This paper proposes a vehicular smartphone docking prototype. It aims not only to provide an affordable alternative to Android Auto and CarPlay, but also to complement them, particularly in vision and security cases. The main issue is that the driver should not be distracted while driving. Such distraction may cause road accident which can lead to severe injuries and even death. Therefore, it is important to design a vehicle smartphone docking to guarantee distraction avoidance and to provide multimedia and localization services. This vehicular smartphone docking architecture consists of an Android smartphone and a Raspberry Pi. Several test drives were conducted with perfect results. Based on the experiment results, this system is able to reduce the number of modules required within a smart vehicle.

Authors:   Department of Commerce, University of the Punjab, Gujranwala Campus., Siddique Dr. Muhammad
Published: May 2021

This study aims to test the relationship between dividend policy decisions on the share price Volatility of Modaraba Companies quoted in the Pakistan stock exchange. The data for empirical analysis was collected from the Pakistan stock exchange, Recorder archive, and Ksestocks.com. By using the sampling technique, a sample of 19 Modaraba Companies was taken from 2010 to 2018. The empirical analysis was conducted using multiple regression techniques by employing a fixed effect model on panel data. This study also incorporated four control variables (size, growth, operating earning & level of debt) in empirical analysis to avoid multicollinearity problems between dividend policy measures and spurious regression. The results of the study validate the theory of relevance of dividend policy decisions on share price Volatility. Dividend policy has a negative and significant bearing on Stock price volatility. Higher leverage (debt level) leads to higher instability in stock prices. Firm earning volatility is positively associated with share price volatility. Firm size and firm's growth in terms of assets also has a negative but insignificant impact on share price Volatility

Published: May 2021

Synthetic sex pheromones have found wide application in plant protection as a mean of early detection of pests that allows observation of the phenology of insects to optimise protective measures. Insect sex pheromones can be applied for different purposes in protecting crops such as monitoring, determining the species composition and combating harmful species (by using sex pheromones for disorientation). The present work studies the species composition, dynamics of the number of basic pests of an apple tree, synchronisation of the seasonal and circadian activity of phytophages of an apple tree in the central zone of the Krasnodar Territory. The results of the field assessment of the male complex disorientation method of apple and eastern moths are presented. It was shown that the species-specificity of sex pheromones in the apple orchard depends on the faunistic diversity of Lepidoptera species with similar pheromone systems that develop at a given point in space and time. It was revealed that the behaviour of this complex changes during the season and over years, depending on the climate and natural dynamics of insect populations. The quantitative ratio and species-specificity of pheromones will probably be different in ecosystems with various species composition and different geographic zones. A novelty of this research is the division of the studied Lepidoptera phytophage species into three groups according to a decrease in the absolute species-specificity in the forest biotope in comparison with the garden one. The most widespread and coinciding in terms of summer synchronicity are apple (Cydia pomonella L.), plum (Grapholitha funebrana Tr.), eastern (Grapholitha molesta Tr.) and pomegranate moth (Euzophera bigella Zell.). The disorientation method, applied using a complex system of dispensers with apple and eastern moth pheromones, showed that installing 500 dispensers/ha allowed 99.3 % efficiency to be achieved. Fruit damage amounted to 1.2 % and 2.7 % in the experimental and control groups, respectively. The duration of the disorienting effect of the pheromone formulations lasted for over 4 months.
Biological characteristics of the strawberry anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum nymphaeae and methods of its diagnostics
Authors: Kuznetsova A. A. , Tsvetkova Yu. V.
Published: May 2021

This work presents the research results of artificial infection of garden strawberry plants of the Elsanta variety with the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum nymphaeae from the Colletotrichum acutatum complex. Three different ways of infecting strawberry plants were analysed: by injecting the plant rosette, spraying with a spore suspension, and infecting the soil. The study showed that the plants of this variety are susceptible to the C. nymphaeae species. The most susceptible parts of plants were identified: leaf blades, petioles and strawberry rosettes. The most obvious symptoms of infection, caused by C. nymphaeae, were found in case of injecting into the rosette. In this work, the most sensitive and valid laboratory methods for isolating and identifying the causative agent of strawberries anthracnose on the planting material were determined: isolation of the pathogen using the deposit method on the 2 % PGA nutrient medium with the addition of 4 % citric acid and identification by the real-time PCR method using the “Fitoscreen set. C. acutatum complex-PB” (CJSC Syntol, Moscow). The C. nymphaeae species from the C. acutatum complex is a pathogen harmful to strawberry plants, causing rapid damage to leaf blades, petioles and rosettes. In the conducted experiment, the root system of strawberry plants was not affected, and there was no infection in the soil.
SOIL EROSION AT SNOWMELT RUNOFF ON SLOPES WITH FOREST BELTS
Authors:   Novocherkassk Engineering and Land Reclamation Institute – branch of the Don State Agrarian University, Ivonin V. M.
Published: May 2021

Purpose: to study soil erosion on slopes with forest belts during snowmelt runoff. Methods. The studies were carried out in the basin of the river Kundryuchya (Rostov region), erosion was determined by the method of ravine volume. Results. With the growth of forest belts, snow plumes, where soil particles accumulate, gradually reform the granulometric and microaggregate composition, which is reflected in the structural state of the upper soil layer and the values of various coefficients and indicators characterizing the increase in water permeability and the decrease in washout. On the compacted arable land near forest belts (zone 5 H), an increase in the weight of winter wheat roots by the pre-winter period was recorded. A complex picture of the structural state and soil erosion in inter-strip fields is represented by equations and graphs showing a soil washout increase in the bare fallow area distancing from forest belts and an erosion decrease when approaching them. In the open area of bare fallow, soil erosion increases continuously with distance from the watershed. Soil erosion is minimal on winter wheat crops near forest belts. On an open slope, erosion is minimal at the watershed, increasing downslope. However, at the bottom of the slope (400–450 m from the watershed), erosion is suppressed by accumulation. Conclusion. Forest belts on slope fields activate accumulation processes, reducing erosion, not only by regulating the snowmelt water flow under the forest canopy, but also as a result of the reformation of the structural state of the upper soil layer during long-term fallout in snow plumes of silty, clay and other soil fractions introduced by the surface drain. On compacted arable land, the mass of winter wheat roots near forest belts has an additional effect on soil erosion. In an open area of a fallow field, soil erosion increases from the watershed to the bottom of the slope. On winter wheat crops on an open slope, soil erosion at the watershed is minimal, increasing towards the center of the slope, but at its bottom, accumulation suppresses erosion.

Analysis and evaluation of these soil samples were carried out according to generally accepted methods. Mathematical processing of the data was carried out according to B. A. Dospekhov. Results. It was found that the average yield of agricultural crops in the 0.8 m variant compared to 1 t decreased by 2–3 % (within the limits of reliability of the experiment), and the water saving was 13–18 %. An increase in the water load (1.3 m) during 4-year irrigation with low-mineralized water of sulphate-sodium composition increased the amount of sodium to 9 % of the total soil absorbing complex (AUC) with a simultaneous decrease in the calcium proportion to 69 % of the total AUC and the transformation of soils from weakly to medium alkaline (1.15 mmol/100 g). It was revealed that for 4 years of research, when irrigating chernozems with fresh water in options 1 m and 0.8 m, a positive humus balance is observed, and on ordinary chernozems irrigated with low-mineralized water, and southern chernozems with natural solonetzicity, a negative humus balance is traced in all variants. Conclusions. Comparing the results on soil properties, the yield of cultivated crops and the efficiency of the use of irrigation water at various levels of moisture, one should give preference to soil moisture at a rate calculated for the biological need of plants. It is allowed to reduce the irrigation rate from the calculated one by 20 %, since at this level the chernozem fertility is preserved, the irrigation water consumption is reduced with a slight shortage of cultivated crops yield.

Purpose: to identify, study and analyze the main factors that determine the level and direction of development of various categories of farms in the country's agricultural sector. Materials and methods: the research is based on the use of sociological research, systemic study and data generalization methods, analytical method. The objects of research were representatives of various forms of agricultural management, specialists from agricultural departments, municipalities, and the regional ministry of agriculture. Results. The analysis of scientific literature on the research theme showed that the formation of a competitive and effective agro-industrial complex in Russia depends on the degree of impact of various factors on the activities of various economic agro-entities. In order to clarify and assess the degree of impact of factors that determine structural changes in the development of various forms of agricultural management in Rostov region, the opinion of participants in the production sector and management structures of the agro-industrial complex was studied, a ranking of the factors under consideration was compiled, and a map of factors was proposed. Conclusions: the study of the factors determining the development vector of various forms of agricultural management allows us to say that modern native agriculture is determined by the influence of a whole complex of various circumstances, namely: directions and measures of state regulation and support, financial, economic and natural-climatic conditions of agricultural entities functioning, the level of technical and technological development, the presence of a developed processing, logistics and marketing infrastructure, the development of integration processes in industry, etc. In this regard, there is an objective need to improve the system of state regulation, the formation of organizational and economic instruments and mechanisms, as well as the corresponding institutional environment, ensuring the leveling of the influence of problems and development factors and the positive results of the functioning of the country's multi-structured agriculture.

Purpose: to study the distribution and concentration of pollutant elements in alluvial soils of various elements of the floodplain landscape and their relationship with fertility indicators. Materials and methods: the gross content of elements was determined by the atomic absorption method, the soil fertility agrochemical indicators were determined according to generally accepted methods. The variability of the pollutant element concentrations in layers in 5 cm to 20 cm of the studied soils and the concentration clarke were calculated. Results: the decreasing series of concentrations of pollutants have a general similar structure, which is explained by the same type of biogeochemical conditions of the floodplain regime. Some differences are present in the soil of the near-terrace floodplain subsystem, which can be explained by the difference in the water regime and redox conditions of this territory from other parts of the floodplain and by the variation in the horizontal and vertical mobility of pollutant elements. Conclusions: the concentration of pollutant elements in the soils of the floodplain landscape of the Besed’ river does not exceed the clarke value. The exception is Cd in the soil of the floodplain central subsystem and Cu and Cd in the soil of the floodplain near-terrace subsystem. The vertical distribution of pollutant elements in the 0–20 cm layer is determined by the element chemical properties and the genesis of the floodplain subsystem soils and can be uniform or concentrated in separate layers. In the floodplain landscape of the Besed’ river the clarke concentrations of pollutants and their concentrations increase from the near-river to the near-terrace subsystem of the floodplain for Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb, Co, Mo, As. For Mn and Cd, the maxima were found in the central subsystem of the floodplain landscape. The high clarke concentration of cadmium and lead, which is atypical for the soils of the floodplain landscapes of this region, and the peculiarities of these elements distribution may indicate their anthropogenic origin. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between the content of organic matter, exchangeable cations and Cu, Ni, Zn, Cr, Pb, Co, As concentration.

Purpose: to study the structure of sewage sludge, as well as to reveal the possibility of its use in agriculture in order to increase moisture reserves in the soil. Materials and methods. The object of research is sewage sludge from the Volzhsky wastewater treatment plant. The structure of the sewage sludge was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. The field experiment was set up in accordance with generally accepted methods. Results and discussions. The investigated sewage sludge has a high fertilizing value with an increased content of nitrogen (3.30 %), ammonia nitrogen (0.19 %), phosphorus (4.27 %), potassium (0.31 %) and an optimal content of organic matter (32 %), which indicates the broad possibilities of its application in agriculture. Analysis of micrographs of sewage sludge showed that it is a nanostructured material, the presence of a porous structure which proves the presence of adsorption properties in the sludge and the ability to retain moisture when applied as a fertilizer was found. Data have been obtained confirming that sewage sludge contributes to an increase in the amount of moisture and its retention in soil by the example of the cultivation of dyeing safflower in the absence of irrigation. The maximum accumulation of moisture was observed with the introduction of sewage sludge at a dose of 10 t/ha, as well as with the use of deep tillage with the “Rancho” working body and amounted to a layer of 0–0.4 m when sowing dyeing safflower 88.5 mm, in the phase of full ripeness – 4.4 mm. Conclusion: it is advisable to use sewage sludge, which is a nanostructured material with a porous structure and adsorption properties to increase moisture reserves in soil.

Background
India is witnessing a rising prevalence of non communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease. This is attributed to rapid nutrition and lifestyle transition taking place since last 2 decades. Obesity is a well known independent risk factor   but very little information is available about role of leanness (low BMI). We investigated whether non-obesity could be an independent risk factor for Coronary artery disease in a rural clinic in KONKAN.
 
 Methods
 In a cross sectional study we studied body composition of 300 patients (207 men) who underwent Coronary angiography in a rural hospital in KONKAN region.  History of diabetes, hypertension and history smoking, tobacco chewing was recorded. Body composition was estimated using bio-impedance analyser. Based on results of coronary angiography, we generated a SYNTAX score derived by number of vessels involved and classified them into groups of severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).  
 
Results
There were 95 (31 %) diabetes and 189 (63%) hypertensive patients in the sample and 60% of them smoked or chewed tobacco. There were 43 (28 males) patients with SYNTAX score of zero. Among those with coronary artery disease (n=257) increasing severity of CAD   was associated with lower body weight, BMI, body fat percentage, and body fat mass and ejection fraction as against positive trend for lean mass and visceral fat.
 
Conclusion
BMI, fat mass decreased with severity of CAD while lean mass and visceral fat increased. We observed high proportion of CAD in underweight and lean KONKAN adults. These findings need further investigations

Objective this research is to automatically schedule student final assignments using genetic algorithms in the Automation Engineering Technology Study Program of the Manufacturing Polytechnic in Bandung. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a heuristic method or a method of finding optimal values using the principles of evolution. GA is used as a solution search algorithm in this research. The solution was implemented into a program that can create a schedule automatically based on the limitations set by program users. Scheduling parameters that are focused on in this study are duplication or clash issues and category suitability between the final project and examiners. Based on these parameters the program can produce the optimal schedule with varying success rates depending on the ratio between the number of trial examiners and the number of examiners needed at one time, where a ratio above 2: 1 result in success above 90% for duplication cases, and the ratio is above 1.5: 1 for category conformance cases.
