Ion-specific effects on equilibrium adsorption layers of ionic surfactants
Authors: Karakashev Stoyan I.
Published: August 2021

This review article reports the effect of the counter-ions on the ionic surfactant adsorption layer and its relation to the stability of foams and emulsions. The adsorption theory of Davies about the ionic surfactant monolayer was revisited and it is shown how to account for the type of the counter-ions. The experimental validation of this theory on thin liquid films was shown as well, thus explaining the effect of Hofmeister. However, their effect on foams and emulsions is more complex. Furthermore, it is shown how the counter-ions affect in complex way the stability of foams and emulsions via the surfactant adsorption layer in the light of the newest theory. To elucidate the nature of this effect, further investigation is called for.
The role of dysprosium ions as a dopant on linear and nonlinear optical dispersion parameters in a-Se thin film
Authors: Abdel-Wahab Fathy A. , Maksoud Heba Abdel
Published: August 2021

Thin films of un-doped and doped a-Se with Dysprosium rare-earth ions have been prepared by the thermal evaporation technique. The optical transmission spectra of the investigated films have been measured in a wide spectral range and used to calculate the linear optical constants together with the optical energy gap of studied films. The observed decrease in the values of the energy gap against the increase of the Dysprosium (Dy) content in a-Se films has been explained using Mott and Davis Model and in terms of electronegativity difference of the constituent atoms. Furthermore, the dispersion of nonlinear parameters such as second-order refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient (two-photon absorption coefficient) of investigated films are presented and discussed.

Authors: Gori Eleonora , Pierini Alessio , Lippi Ilaria , Citi Simonetta , Mannucci Tommaso , Marchetti Veronica
Published: August 2021

OBJECTIVE

To report abdominal ultrasonography (AUS) findings in dogs with clinical signs of acute pancreatitis (AP) during the first 2 days of hospitalization and to compare AUS findings with severity of disease and mortality rate.

ANIMALS

37 client-owned dogs with clinical signs of AP.

PROCEDURES

Dogs suspected of having AP with complete medical records, AUS examinations performed throughout the first 2 days of hospitalization, and available frozen surplus serum samples for quantitative measurement of canine pancreatic lipase (cPL) concentrations at hospital admission met the criteria for study inclusion. Dogs were grouped as AUS+ or AUS− on the basis of positive or negative findings for AP on AUS, respectively. Abdominal ultra-sonography findings of AP were stratified (as mild, moderate, or severe) by use of an AUS severity index, and a canine acute pancreatitis severity score was calculated.

RESULTS

24 of 37 (64.8%) dogs had AUS findings of AP at hospital admission, whereas 10 had positive findings for AP on AUS within 2 days of hospitalization. Three (8%) dogs were AUS− but had serum cPL concentrations > 400 µg/L (ie, values considered diagnostic for AP). On the AUS severity index, 5 of 34 (14.7%) AUS+ dogs had mild findings, 18 (52.9%) AUS+ dogs had moderate findings, and 11 (32.4%) AUS+ dogs had severe findings. Severe findings were associated with a higher risk of death than mild and moderate findings. A significant association was found between canine acute pancreatitis severity scores and mortality rates.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

For dogs with clinical signs of AP, repeated AUS examinations during hospitalization should be performed, severe findings on the AUS severity index may indicate an increased risk of death, and serum cPL concentrations may increase earlier than findings on AUS of AP.
Effect of personal, food manufacturer, and pet health statements made by a veterinarian during a pet wellness appointment on a dog or cat owner's decision to consider changing their pet's diet
Authors: Alvarez Elizabeth E. , Schultz Kelly K.
Published: August 2021

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the effect of statements made by veterinarians during a pet wellness appointment on a pet owner's decision to consider changing their pet's diet.

SAMPLE

Pet owners who presented their dogs and cats for wellness examinations from December 2018 to February 2019 to a veterinary medical teaching hospital or an affiliated low-cost community clinic.

PROCEDURES

Pet owners completed part 1 of the survey, which included questions on various pet characteristics (eg, signalment and current diet) and pet owner's degree of satisfaction with their pet's diet, after a veterinary medical student obtained the pet's medical history and examined the pet. At the conclusion of the wellness appointment, owners completed part 2, which included pet owner demographics (eg, gender and highest educational level) and statements regarding personal, food manufacturer, and pet health that could be made by a veterinarian regarding a pet's diet to which owners were asked to react.

RESULTS

84 dog and 36 cat owners completed the survey. Statements based on pet health and personal (veterinarian) preferences were the most and least effective, respectively, on owners to consider changing their pet's diet. Pet owner gender and pet species did not alter the findings. Most (93%) pet owners were at least somewhat willing to change their pet's diet on the basis of a veterinarian's recommendation.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

When a pet's diet is discussed in the context of a pet's health, a primary care veterinarian consulting with a pet owner during a wellness appointment may be most persuasive to the owner for changing their pet's diet.
Algebraic Extensions
Authors: Schwarzweller Christoph , Rowińska-Schwarzweller Agnieszka
Published: August 2021

In this article we further develop field theory in Mizar [1], [2], [3] towards splitting fields. We deal with algebraic extensions [4], [5]: a field extension E of a field F is algebraic, if every element of E is algebraic over F. We prove amongst others that finite extensions are algebraic and that field extensions generated by a finite set of algebraic elements are finite. From this immediately follows that field extensions generated by roots of a polynomial over F are both finite and algebraic. We also define the field of algebraic elements of E over F and show that this field is an intermediate field of E|F.
Functional Space Consisted by Continuous Functions on Topological Space
Authors: Yamazaki Hiroshi , Miyajima Keiichi , Shidama Yasunari
Published: August 2021

In this article, using the Mizar system [1], [2], first we give a definition of a functional space which is constructed from all continuous functions defined on a compact topological space [5]. We prove that this functional space is a Banach space [3]. Next, we give a definition of a function space which is constructed from all continuous functions with bounded support. We also prove that this function space is a normed space.

Published: August 2021

Background. Carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency (CACTD) is a rare, autosomal recessive, and highly lethal fatty acid oxidation (FAO) disorder caused by defective acylcarnitine transport across the mitochondrial membrane. CACTD is characterized by severe episodes of hypoglycemia and hyperammonemia, seizures, cardiomyopathy, liver dysfunction, severe neurological damage, and muscle weakness. Herein, we described the clinical features, biochemical, and molecular findings of three patients with CACTD, presented with poor feeding, hypoglycemia, liver dysfunctions, and hyperammonemia, but died despite intensive treatment.
Cases. All cases had similar signs and symptoms like poor feeding and respiratory failure associated with liver dysfunction. Urinary organic acid profiles in the presence of hypoglycemia and hyperammonemia led us to the possible diagnosis of one of fatty acid β-oxidation defects. Results of the molecular analyses were compatible with CACTD. In addition to known mutation (c.270delC;p.Phe91Leufs*38) we detected a novel one (c.408C > A;p.Cys136*).
Conclusions. All three cases died despite a very intensive therapy. Based on our experience with these three cases, it can be said that CACTD has a relatively poor prognosis, molecular studies are of most importance in suspected cases for the final diagnosis and such studies might be of help while giving genetic counselling and guidance to parents for future pregnancies.
Whole exome sequencing identifies a novel variant in ABCA3 in an individual with fatal congenital surfactant protein deficiency
Authors: Bozkurt Hayrunnisa Bekis , Şahin Yavuz
Published: August 2021

Background. Adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette subfamily A member 3 (ABCA3) gene variants, which cause severe respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in term newborns, can cause death, especially due to the lack of congenital surfactant protein. The relationship between the types, pathophysiology and effects of ABCA3 gene variants on surfactant metabolism and the clinical phenotype have not yet been fully clarified, but the ABCA3 genotype is known to affect clinical severity.
Case. In our study, in a term newborn with a diagnosis of RDS resulting in death, we detected the c.3677 T > C (p.Leu1226Pro) variant homozygous variant in the ABCA3 gene according to the NM_001089.3 transcript, which, to our knowledge, was identified for the first time in the literature.
Conclusions. We consider that this case report contributes to the literature on RDS by showing the presence of c.3677 T > C (p.Leu1226Pro), a new homozygous variant of ABCA3 in our patient.

Published: August 2021

Background. Mesenteric lymphadenopathy is a rare manifestation of Gaucher disease (GD) in children and can be accompanied by protein losing enteropathy (PLE). PLE is a difficult-to-treat complication of GD. To date, only a few pediatric GD cases with PLE and massive mesenteric lymphadenopathies have been reported.
Case. Here, we report a girl with chronic neuronopathic GD, whose disease course was complicated by massive mesenteric lymphadenopathies with resultant protein losing enteropathy despite a regular and appropriate enzyme replacement therapy of 60 IU/kg/biweekly until the development of mesenteric lymphadenopathies and 120 IU/kg/biweekly thereafter.
Conclusions. PLE is a devastating and life threatening complication of GD developing despite long term use of high dose ERT. Clinicians should be alert for this complication particularly in GD patients presenting with progressive abdominal distension, edema, ascites and diarrhea or in patients who have already developed mesenteric lymphadenopathies. Timely diagnosis may allow early intervention with previously suggested surgical or medical treatment options. Although there is no specific and effective treatment, surgical and aggressive medical interventions in addition to ERT were reported to relieve diarrhea and halt progression of mesenteric lymphadenopathies.

Authors: Ergene Meriç , Yarar Nuriye , Öncel Elif Perihan , Sezer Taner , Çavdarlı Büşranur , Ecevit İsmail Zafer , Aydın Halil İbrahim
Published: August 2021

Background. Isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency (ISOD), caused by mutations in SUOX gene, is an autosomal recessive disease manifesting with early onset seizures, developmental delay, microcephaly, and spasticity. It mimics hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in the neonatal period and is characterized by progressive severe neurological impairment due to accumulation of toxic metabolites.
Case. This report presents a late diagnosed male patient with ISOD manifesting with neonatal-onset seizures, developmental delay, microcephaly, and spastic quadriplegia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging of the patient showed bilateral subcortical multi-cystic encephalomalacia involving bilateral parieto-occipital regions. A novel homozygous c.590_595delAGCCTC in-frame deletion in SUOX gene was identified in the patient, while both parents were heterozygous for that mutation.
Conclusion. The mutation identified in our patient causes severe ISOD. Early diagnosis of ISOD is essential for accurate genetic counseling and achieving prenatal diagnosis. Screening for urinary sulfite in patients with neonatal or early infantile onset seizures, developmental delay, microcephaly and cystic encephalomalacia in neuroimaging mimicking HIE helps in early diagnosis.

Authors: Tell Yulianto , Mautuka Zakarias Adrianto , Kolimon Mando , Lande Dina
Published: August 2021

Tingginya harga pakan ikan di pasaran mengakibatkan banyak pembudidaya ikan di kabupaten Alor tidak dapat menyediakan pakan ikan secara berkesinambungan. Kebutuhan pakan ikan selama ini hanya mengandalkan pasokan dari luar melalui bantuan Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan Kabupaten Alor. Ketika terjadi pembatasan akses akibat pandemi Covid-19 di kabupaten Alor, telah mengakibatkan terhentinya rantai pasokan pakan ikan dari luar. Pada sisi lain, para pembudidaya ikan di kabupaten Alor tidak memiliki pemahaman dan keterampilan dalam memproduksi pakan ikan secara mandiri. Dalam kondisi demikian maka kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat perlu dilaksanakan khususnya untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan keterampilan pembudidaya ikan. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan pengabdian yakni pelatihan formulasi pakan ikan melalui FGD dan praktek pembuatan pakan ikan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa tingkat pemahaman peserta sebelum mengikuti pelatihan adalah 58,43% meningkat menjadi 79,76% setelah mengikuti pelatihan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa perpaduan metode pelatihan dalam bentuk FGD dan praktek kerja memiliki dampak positif dalam peningkatan pemahaman peserta. Secara umum kegiatan pelatihan ini telah meningkatkan pemahaman peserta dengan peningkatan pemahaman sebesar 21,33%.

ABSTRACT

The high price of fish feed in the market has resulted in many fish farmers in the Alor district being unable to provide fish feed sustainably. The need for fish feed has so far only relied on supplies from outside through the assistance of the Alor Regency Marine and Fisheries Service. When there was a restriction on access due to the Covid-19 pandemic in the Alor district, it had resulted in the interruption of the supply chain for fish food from outside. On the other hand, fish cultivators in the Alor district do not have the understanding and skills in producing fish feed independently. In such conditions, community service activities need to be carried out in particular to improve the understanding and skills of fish cultivators. The method used in the community service was training in fish feed formulation through FGD and practice of making fish feed. The analysis showed that the participant’s level of understanding before attending the training was 58.43%, increasing to 79.76% after attending the training. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the combination of training methods in the form of FGDs and practical work has a positive impact on increasing participant’s understanding. In general, this training activity has increased participant’s understanding by increasing understanding by 21.33%.

Utilisation des plantes médicinales pour prévenir et guérir les morsures de serpents : état des lieux et perspectives(synthèse bibliographique)
Authors: Dossou Ayékotchami Jacques , Fandohan Adandé Belarmain
Published: August 2021

Introduction. L’envenimation ophidienne constitue un problème de santé publique, social et économique dans les régions tropicales et subtropicales. Le cout onéreux des sérums antivenimeux rend le recours à ce traitement, qui reste pourtant le seul cliniquement approuvé, inaccessible à la majorité de la population dans ces pays. Pour y faire face, les habitants de ces régions ont donc souvent recours à des plantes reconnues comme médicinales par les connaissances traditionnelles. Le présent travail se propose de faire une synthèse de l’état des connaissances aussi bien traditionnelles que scientifiques sur les morsures de serpents et les plantes anti-morsure et antivenin de serpent à travers le monde. Il vise à la constitution d’une base de données des espèces de plantes utilisées pour prévenir et guérir les morsures de serpents et à la mise en évidence de potentielles futures pistes de recherche pour une valorisation de leur potentiel pharmaceutique. Littérature. La présente revue systématique a utilisé les bases de données Agora et Google Scholar comme moteurs de recherche pour recenser, à travers des critères d’inclusion et d’exclusion bien définis, toutes les études pertinentes portant sur les morsures de serpents et les plantes utilisées pour leur prévention ou traitement. Conclusions. La quasi-totalité des cas de morsures de serpents rapportées dans la littérature scientifique provient des pays chauds et/ou du Sud. Elles y constituent une maladie négligée parce qu’elles ne font pas objet de l’attention qu’elles méritent de la part des autorités et organismes en charge de la santé publique de ces pays. Cependant, 66 espèces de plantes regroupées en 31 familles sont utilisées pour prévenir la morsure des serpents et 1 127 espèces de plantes appartenant à 176 familles le sont pour le traitement des morsures de serpents dans le monde. Bien que l’efficacité de certaines de ces plantes ait été mise scientifiquement en évidence, des études pharmacologiques approfondies doivent encore être menées pour valider leur utilisation en vue de contribuer à améliorer le bien-être des communautés, et surtout les communautés rurales des pays en voie de développement.
Réponse du cotonnier (Gossypium hirsutum L.) à la fertilisation minérale dans diverses zones agro-écologiques : revue quantitative
Authors: Amonmidé Isidore , Akponikpè Pierre Bienvenu Irénikatché , Dagbénonbakin Gustave Dieudonné
Published: August 2021

Description du sujet. La réponse du cotonnier à la fertilisation minérale a été évaluée à travers une revue quantitative. Objectifs. Il s’agissait de (i) faire une synthèse des données disponibles sur la réponse du cotonnier à la fertilisation, (ii) modéliser le rendement en fonction des niveaux de fertilisants appliqués et (iii) identifier les facteurs environnementaux qui influencent la réponse du cotonnier à la fertilisation. Méthode. Une analyse quantitative de 71 publications scientifiques (930 traitements, témoins compris) a été effectuée afin de collecter les données de rendements en coton graine et en coton fibre à travers une recherche documentaire dans les bibliothèques scientifiques en ligne sur les pratiques de fertilisation du cotonnier suivant des critères bien définis. Un modèle linéaire à effet mixte a été utilisé avec le logiciel R.3.6.1 pour la comparaison de la réponse du cotonnier aux diverses doses de fertilisants minéraux. Résultats. Dans 95 % des cas, cette étude a montré une réponse positive du cotonnier à la fertilisation minérale. Les doses de nutriments appliquées ont significativement affecté la réponse du cotonnier et l’efficience agronomique de l’azote (AE-N, p < 0,05). Cependant, le type de sol, la pluviométrie et l’altitude n’ont pas significativement influencé la réponse du cotonnier, mais ont significativement affecté l’AE-N. La combinaison de N, P et K a enregistré les meilleurs ratios de réponse et de l’AE-N comparativement à l’application exclusive de l’azote ou sa combinaison avec le phosphore ou le potassium. Conclusions. Cette étude suggère l’application combinée des éléments majeurs (N, P, K) à des doses modérées afin d’améliorer l’efficience d’utilisation des nutriments en culture cotonnière. Les conditions pédoclimatiques n’ont pas significativement affecté la réponse du cotonnier, mais ont significativement influencé l’AE-N.

Published: August 2021

The aim of this analysis is to see how effective a Nanosponge-loaded topical gel is at distributing flurbiprofen through the skin. Flurbiprofen was entrapped in Nanosponge and formulated into a gel for this purpose. Flurbiprofen Nanosponges were developed by solvent evaporation using pluronic F68 and ethyl cellulose. The particle size and entrapment quality were discovered to be in the range of 200-410 nm and 90.94% to 98.68%, respectively. For gel formulation, Nanopsonges with high entrapment efficiency and the smallest particle size (F3) were chosen based on the characterization. Using Guar gum, Carbopol, and HPMC K4M, a total of 6 formulations were produced to determine the sustained drug release and were tested for physiochemical tests, producing positive results. According to the findings of the above in vitro drug release trials, formulations containing carbopol release more drug at the end of 11 hours than other formulations and follow a zero-order with case II transport mechanism.

Authors: DEMİR Mehmet Cihat , BOĞAN Mustafa , AKÇAM Hanife Tuba , SULTANOĞLU Hasan , ÖZDAMAR Yasemin , AĞAÇKIRAN İlter
Published: August 2021

Aim: To evaluate the urgency of ophthalmology consultations in the emergency department (ED) and the presence of ophthalmic pathology. This study also aimed to determine whether the weekend phenomenon affected emergency ophthalmologic consultation requests.
Materials and Methods: Ophthalmology consultations requested by the emergency physician for patients who visited the academic ED of a tertiary care hospital in Turkey from January to December 2019 were retrospectively investigated. Consultation requests were grouped as possible emergent, unlikely to be emergent, and undetermined.
Results: A total of 256 eligible patients were included in the study. The top three reasons for emergency ophthalmologic consultations were blunt trauma (29.7%), foreign body (24.2%), and conjunctivitis (13.3%). 70.3% of the patients were categorized as a possible emergent, 18.4% as unlikely to be emergent, and 11.3% undetermined. The frequency of consultation requests with diagnoses that are unlikely to be emergent at weekends and out of working hours was lower than during weekdays and working hours (p = 0.032, p = 0.029, respectively). Most of the possible emergent consultations had ophthalmic pathology (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Traumatic injuries are the most common cause of ophthalmology consultation in the ED. Approximately one-fifth of patients are unlikely to be emergent. Early ophthalmology evaluation is required in possible emergent category patients. The weekend effect does not influence ophthalmology consultations. Establishing eye emergency services or having an available ophthalmologist is crucial in the emergency diagnosis and treatment of patients who require special practice skills.

Published: August 2021

У роботі розглянуто особливості мікрохвильових випромінювань матеріалів для фізіотерапії. На прикладі озокерито-парафінових аплікацій досліджено наявність та зміни рівня випромінювання в міліметровому діапазоні протягом технологічного циклу процедури. Показано, що важливою складовою фізіотерапевтичних процедур є мікрохвильове електромагнітне випромінювання, утворюване нагрітою озокерито-парафіновою сумішшю. З використанням розробленої авторами експериментальної установки проведено дослідження випромінювальної здатності озокериту, парафіну та їх сумішей у мікрохвильовому діапазоні. Проведено порівняння потужності випромінювання матеріалів з рівнем випромінювання тіла людини. Показано, що в процесі проведення процедури зміна температури призводить до появи позитивних та від’ємних потоків мікрохвильового випромінювання, які по-різному впливають на тіло людини. Отримані результати експериментальних досліджень дозволили оцінити взаємодію електромагнітного випромінювання озокерито-парафінових сумішей з власним електромагнітним випромінюванням людини та більш зважено підходити до вибору режимів лікування.

Розглянуто актуальність питання щодо вдосконалення методологічних основ проєктування технологій охорони підготовчих виробок, особливо в умовах відпрацювання вугільних пластів на великих глибинах та у слабких бічних породах. Здійснено аналіз існуючих методик вибору технологій охорони підготовчих виробок. Встановлено, що цими методиками регламентуються конкретні технології та обмежується можливість розгляду інноваційних рішень. Виключенням є методика, що запропонована у ДВНЗ ДонНТУ. Але вона потребує удосконалення з метою усунення на початковому етапі недоцільних технологій охорони виробок без проведення громіздких розрахунків за економічними критеріями. Тому метою дослідження стало вдосконалення методики вибору технологій охорони підготовчих виробок, яка б передбачала поетапний розгляд заходів щодо забезпечення експлуатаційного стану виробки та їх економічне порівняння. Запропоновано графічну інтерпретацію методики та її опис. Під час виконання окремих етапів методики аналізуються способи та засоби охорони виробок. Для цього може бути використано запропоновану класифікацію способів охорони підготовчих виробок, що передбачають вплив на навколишній масив, та рекомендації щодо визначення конструктивних особливостей засобів охорони. Висунуто припущення, що отримані результати можуть бути підґрунтям для перевірки відповідності області використання та уточнення параметрів існуючих або розробки нових технологій охорони підготовчих виробок у складних гірничо-геологічних умовах.

This study aims to determine the effect of physical attractiveness, attitude homophily, social attractiveness, credibility, and parasocial interaction on cosmetics purchase intention based on the TasyaFarasya review. TasyaFarasya is one of the beauty vloggers on YouTube and Instagram. This study uses a quantitative approach. The sampling technique used is non-probability sampling which is judgmental sampling. In this study, the respondents are women; they knew TasyaFarasya as a beauty vlogger; the age is around 17-35 years and watched content from TasyaFarasya. The number of samples is 200 respondents. The data was processed using PLS-SEM with SmartPLS software version 3.3.3. The findings of this study indicate that physical attractiveness, homophily attitudes have a significant effect on credibility. While physical attractiveness and social attractiveness significantly affect parasocial interactions, homophily attitudes do not affect parasocial interactions. Credibility does not affect purchase intention, but parasocial interaction has a significant effect on purchase intention. Further research can add information and building motive variables. It is also interesting to see further how the interaction between vlogger viewers.

An improved framework for volume change of shrink/swell soils subjected to time-varying climatic effects
Authors: Olaiz Austin , Mosawi Mohammad , Zapata Claudia
Published: August 2021

The ability to estimate soil volume change as a function of time is a valuable tool in the design or forensic analysis of shallow foundations and pavement structures. This paper presents an improved framework for estimating the volume change of shrink/swell soils due to time-varying climatic effects using the Lytton et al. (2005) approach with the suction envelope models created by Vann & Houston (2021) and updated considerations of short-term varying climate. The procedure can be easily implemented in any country due to its mechanistic-empirical nature. The authors present an example calculation of the proposed framework using the data from an American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) Seasonal Monitoring Program (SMP) section, located approximately 80 miles northeast of Dallas, Texas. The volume change estimated from the proposed framework was compared to 70 measured data points from sections from the SMP study and the results look promising. The models are universal and can be used in any part of the world provided measured data is available to calibrate for local conditions. Ongoing calibration effort with the remaining LTPP SMP sections will allow obtaining calibration factors for the proposed framework that will improve the estimation of the volume change predictions under pavements and facilitate the implementation into current design procedures.

RevX solution is a liquid fermented grain extract obtained through a unique extraction technology, and its ingredients contain phytosterols, sulfonamides, organic acids, and anti-inflammatory substances. The adjunct treatment of RevX for lung adenocarcinoma has not yet been surveyed in vitro or in vivo experiments. A 71-year-old woman was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma. She underwent the targeted therapy and continually took the RevX solution (3 to 5 ml per day). Sixteen months after diagnosis and targeted therapy, multiple lung metastases appeared. After the second-line targeted therapy and wedge resection for 16 months, the patient was still alive. The distinct improvement of hypodynamia and fewer complication was found during targeted therapy treatment complemented with the RevX solution for longer than 4 years. Thus, the RevX solution might potentially be an adjuvant therapy for patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma.
Financial Coping Strategies of Households during COVID-19 Induced Lockdown

Published: August 2021

This paper focuses on the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic-induced lockdown on the financial resources of households, their survival strategies, and planned coping strategies. It employed the survey method of research in which 288 questionnaires were administered online and delivered by hand to respondents across the six geographical zones of Nigeria. The study used frequency and percentages to analyze the perceptions of households regarding their survival strategies, government supports, and the effectiveness of compliance to government orders. The questionnaire was designed to elicit relevant information regarding how households coped with the COVID-19 induced lockdown in Nigeria. It was found that most households had no contingency savings to address such emergencies; therefore, the lockdown put a lot of strain on the personal income and savings of households. It was also found that the household rating of government supports was very poor which led to partial compliance with the stay-at-home order. Finally, it was found that the most preferred coping strategy was to take salary advance, followed by going back to work and borrowing. The study recommends contingency savings habits to households and controlling the inflation rate to the government as important steps for returning towards normality. The government of Nigeria needs to prioritize the health sector in budget allocation for proper healthcare delivery. The study also recommends contingency savings habits to households and social inclusion to the government along with giving out bailouts to households, firms, and industries to boost the economy.

Covid-19 is a disease of the virus that is shaking the world and has been designated by WHO as a pandemic. This case of Covid-19 can be a place of dissemination of disinformation that can be utilized by some parties. The dissemination of information in this day and age has turned to the internet, namely social media, Twitter is one of the social media that is often used by Indonesians and the data can be analyzed. This study uses the social network analysis method, conducted to be able to find nodes that affect the ongoing interaction in the interaction network of information dissemination related to Covid-19 in Indonesia and see if the node is directly proportional to the value of its popularity. As well as to know in identifying the source of Covid-19 information, whether dominated by competent Twitter accounts in their fields. The data examined 19,939 nodes and 12,304 edges were taken from data provided by the web academic.droneemprit.id on the project "Analisis Opini Persebaran Virus Corona di Media Sosial", using the period of December 2019 to December 2020 on social media Twitter. The results showed that the @do_ra_dong account is an influential actor with the highest degree centrality of 860 and the @detikcom account is the actor with the highest popularity value of follower rank of 0.994741605. Thus actors who have a high degree of centrality value do not necessarily have a high follower rank value anyway. The study ignores if there are buzzer accounts on Twitter.

The Extreme Programming (XP) development method is popular because of the flexibility of the development process, it can accommodate changes quickly. But this method has a weakness in terms of documentation. It is expected that the speed of discovering which parts of the source code need to be changed will be greatly improved by analyzing the impact of changes on the requirements document. In this study, a method of analyzing the impact of changes is proposed by tracing changes in the artifact of the need to find out the source code that occurs. Early language methods and semantic approaches are used. Based on the proximity of the semantics, it will be analyzed to find out the elements in the source code that use the Spearman Correlation Coefficient. The test dataset in this study consisted of the source code in the PHP programming language as well as the functional requirements of the software. Requirements change list is generated by analysis of the latest 2 (two) expert versions of the source code. The changing needs are described in a user story document. Based on the test results in this study, the average precision was 0.1725 and the average recall value was 0.6041.
