As we further our studies on gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), via both theoretical models and observational tools, more and more options begin to open for exploration of its physical properties. As GRBs are transient events primarily dominated by synchrotron radiation, it is expected that the synchrotron photons emitted by GRBs should present some degree of polarization throughout the evolution of the burst. Whereas observing this polarization can still be challenging due to the constraints on observational tools, especially for short GRBs, it is paramount that the groundwork is laid for the day we have abundant data. In this work, we present a polarization model linked with an off-axis spreading top-hat jet synchrotron scenario in a stratified environment with a density profile n(r) ∝ r
−k
. We present this model's expected temporal polarization evolution for a realistic set of afterglow parameters constrained within the values observed in the GRB literature for four degrees of stratification k = 0, 1, 1.5, and 2 and two magnetic field configurations with high extreme anisotropy. We apply this model and predict polarization from a set of GRBs exhibiting off-axis afterglow emission. In particular, for GRB 170817A, we use the available polarimetric upper limits to rule out the possibility of an extremely anisotropic configuration for the magnetic field.

Aims: To develop a consistent ecological indicator value system for Europe for five of the main plant niche dimensions: soil moisture (M), soil nitrogen (N), soil reaction (R), light (L) and temperature (T). Study area: Europe (and closely adjacent regions). Methods: We identified 31 indicator value systems for vascular plants in Europe that contained assessments on at least one of the five aforementioned niche dimensions. We rescaled the indicator values of each dimension to a continuous scale, in which 0 represents the minimum and 10 the maximum value present in Europe. Taxon names were harmonised to the Euro+Med Plantbase. For each of the five dimensions, we calculated European values for niche position and niche width by combining the values from the individual EIV systems. Using T values as an example, we externally validated our European indicator values against the median of bioclimatic conditions for global occurrence data of the taxa. Results: In total, we derived European indicator values of niche position and niche width for 14,835 taxa (14,714 for M, 13,748 for N, 14,254 for R, 14,054 for L, 14,496 for T). Relating the obtained values for temperature niche position to the bioclimatic data of species yielded a higher correlation than any of the original EIV systems (r = 0.859). The database: The newly developed Ecological Indicator Values for Europe (EIVE) 1.0, together with all source systems, is available in a flexible, harmonised open access database. Conclusions: EIVE is the most comprehensive ecological indicator value system for European vascular plants to date. The uniform interval scales for niche position and niche width provide new possibilities for ecological and macroecological analyses of vegetation patterns. The developed workflow and documentation will facilitate the future release of updated and expanded versions of EIVE, which may for example include the addition of further taxonomic groups, additional niche dimensions, external validation or regionalisation.

The nudibranch diversity of the western Indian Ocean is comparatively one of the least studied in the world. In this paper a sponge-like Discodoridae nudibranch Jorunna liviaesp. nov. is described. The description is based on integrative anatomy, including molecular analysis of two genes (the mitochondrial COI and the nuclear H3), dissections, electron microscopy (SEM) of buccal elements, micro tomography of the spicule’s arrangements and ecological observations. This study provides the first ever molecular data of Jorunna species from the western Indian Ocean, helping to fill the gap to further understand this apparent paraphyletic genus.
The dual fuzzy matrix equations: Extended solution, algebraic solution and solution
Authors: Gong Zengtai , Wu Jun , Liu Kun
Published: January 2023

In this paper, we propose a direct method to solve the dual fuzzy matrix equation of the form $ \mathbf{A}\widetilde{\mathbf{X}}+\widetilde{\mathbf{B}} = \mathbf{C}\widetilde{\mathbf{X}}+\widetilde{\mathbf{D}} $ with $ \mathbf{A} $, $ \mathbf{C} $ matrices of crisp coefficients and $ \widetilde{\mathbf{B}} $, $ \widetilde{\mathbf{D}} $ fuzzy number matrices. Extended solution and algebraic solution of the dual fuzzy matrix equations are defined and the relationship between them is investigated. This article focuses on the algebraic solution and a necessary and sufficient condition for the unique algebraic solution existence is given. By algebraic methods we not need to transform a dual fuzzy matrix equation into two crisp matrix equations to solve. In addition, the general dual fuzzy matrix equations and dual fuzzy linear systems are investigated based on the generalized inverses of the matrices. Especially, the solution formula and calculation method of the dual fuzzy matrix equation with triangular fuzzy number matrices are given and discussed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated with examples.
MRE: A translational knowledge graph completion model based on multiple relation embedding
Authors: Lu Xinyu , Wang Lifang , Jiang Zejun , Liu Shizhong , Lin Jiashi
Published: January 2023

Knowledge graph completion (KGC) has attracted significant research interest in applying knowledge graphs (KGs). Previously, many works have been proposed to solve the KGC problem, such as a series of translational and semantic matching models. However, most previous methods suffer from two limitations. First, current models only consider the single form of relations, thus failing to simultaneously capture the semantics of multiple relations (direct, multi-hop and rule-based). Second, the data-sparse problem of knowledge graphs would make part of relations challenging to embed. This paper proposes a novel translational knowledge graph completion model named multiple relation embedding (MRE) to address the above limitations. We attempt to embed multiple relations to provide more semantic information for representing KGs. To be more specific, we first leverage PTransE and AMIE+ to extract multi-hop and rule-based relations. Then, we propose two specific encoders to encode extracted relations and capture semantic information of multiple relations. We note that our proposed encoders can achieve interactions between relations and connected entities in relation encoding, which is rarely considered in existing methods. Next, we define three energy functions to model KGs based on the translational assumption. At last, a joint training method is adopted to perform KGC. Experimental results illustrate that MRE outperforms other baselines on KGC, demonstrating the effectiveness of embedding multiple relations for advancing knowledge graph completion.

Published: January 2023

Background: Warts are viral cutaneous infections caused by human papilloma virus (HPV), presented by verrucous growth over the skin surface. The cell mediated immune response is considered to play a crucial role in HPV clearance. The viral load and number of lesions increase when there is an imbalance between the T-helper 1 and T-helper 2 immune responses. Interleukin (IL)-19 is a cytokine that belongs to interleukin 10 cytokines family and constitutes a sub-family with IL-20, IL-22 and IL-24. IL-19 is mainly produced by activated monocytes and to a lesser extent by B-cells, keratinocytes and fetal membranes. IL-19 was found to shift T-cell maturation away from the pro-inflammatory T-helper 1 cells toward the anti-inflammatory T-helper 2 cells. It induces IL-4 and IL-13 production in T cells and apoptosis in monocytes. Aim: This study aimed to measure serum level of IL-19 in patients with warts compared to healthy controls and to find out the correlation between this level and number, size and clinical types of warts. Methods: The study included 50 patients with warts and 50 control subjects. Serum concentration of IL-19 was measured by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay. Results: Interleukin-19 serum level was significantly lower in patients with warts than in controls (P < 0.003). Moreover, there was a significant positive correlation between IL-19 serum level and the number of warts (P = 0.027). Conclusion: Serum level of IL-19 was significantly lower in patients with warts, and this low level might be crucial for an effective cell mediated immunological response to HPV.
Web Mining Techniques - A Framework to Enhance Customer Retention
Authors: Ouf Shimaa , Helmy Yehia , Ashraf Merna
Published: January 2023

In e-commerce, retaining customers on the web is a difficult task that requires a good understanding of customers' behavior to be able to predict their needs and interests. Web usage mining (WUM), which is the application of data mining techniques to improve business, helps in understanding customers' behavior on the web. Therefore, this paper proposes and implements a framework to enhance the quality of customer recommendations. Providing customers with what they are looking for helps increase their satisfaction, which will lead to improved retention with the company. The proposed framework was tested and evaluated. The result of testing the proposed framework illustrates that the recommendations based on merged techniques (like clustering, classification, association, and sequential discovery) achieve strong accuracy with a precision value of 74%, coverage of 100%, and an average overall efficiency of F-measure of 86%. which means that the merged technique outperformed each technique and attained much higher overall coverage.
A Computational Examination of Side-by-Side Rotors in Ground Effect
Authors: Healy Richard , McCauley Joseph , Gandhi Farhan , Sahni Onkar
Published: January 2023

This study investigates the interactional aerodynamics of hovering side-by-side rotors in ground effect. The 5.5-ft diameter, three-bladed fixed-pitched rotors are simulated using computational fluid dynamics at a targeted 5 lb/ft2 disk loading. Simulations are performed
using the commercial Navier–Stokes solver, AcuSolve ®, with a delayed detached eddy simulation model. Side-by-side rotors are simulated at two heights above the ground (H/D = 0.5 and H/D = 1), and with two hub–hub separation distances (3R and 2.5R). The performance
of side-by-side rotors in ground effect (IGE) is compared to isolated rotors out of ground effect. Between the side-by-side rotors IGE, a highly turbulent mixing region is identified where the wakes of each rotor collide. The flow fountains upwards, as well as exits outwards (along a direction
normal to a plane connecting the two rotor hubs) with fountaining between the rotors reaching up to 0.75D above the ground. As blades at H/D = 0.5 traverse the highly turbulent flow, strong vibratory loading is induced and a thrust loss is observed over the outboard sections between the rotors
that is large enough to negate any nominal ground effect benefits inboard. Side-by-side rotors at H/D = 0.5 with 2.5R hub–hub spacing produce peak-to-peak thrust oscillations up to 16% of the steady thrust. Rotors placed higher, at H/D = 1 are positioned above the turbulent mixing
flow and produce significantly lower vibratory loads. The spacing between rotors at H/D = 0.5 and 3R hub–hub separation allows strong vortical structures to develop between the rotors which move from side to side over multiple revolutions. When the vorticity moves closer to one
of the rotors, it produces a greater lift deficit over the outboard region and a stronger vibratory loading. For rotors closer together, at H/D = 0.5 and 2.5R separation, the vortical structures between rotors are constrained to a more concentrated area and show less side-to-side drift.
The Geometry of Plato’s Cosmos
Authors: Sutton Mark A.
Published: January 2023

Current understanding of astronomy attributes the earliest geometric models to the Greeks. Yet there remains substantial uncertainty about the Mesopotamian origins of the classical Greek constellations. It is here shown how clues famously given by Plato in his Timaeus provide the key to understanding the original geometric design framework. Having allocated the four elements (Water, Earth, Fire and Air) to regular polyhedra, Plato assigned a fifth figure to the cosmos, traditionally identified as the dodecahedron. Based on geometrical and philosophical arguments, it is here proposed that Plato also had in mind the orbicular elevated dodecahedron, consisting of 360 fundamental Platonic scalene triangles. In mapping it out as a convenient approximation to the celestial sphere, we discover that it offers a geometric framework for the Paths of Anu, Enlil and Ea of Mesopotamian astronomy, while explaining the enigma of why the constellations of the zodiac are not equally distributed along the ecliptic. Three rings with partial ten-way rotational symmetry are also identified that appear to have been used in the design framework. The conclusions emphasize Plato’s debt to earlier astronomers, while transforming our understanding of the constellations so familiar today.

Published: January 2023

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is a kind of inflammatory neuropathy that has a gradual start and symmetrical sensory involvement. However, there are several clinical variances, suggesting that CIDP may represent a spectrum of linked disorders rather than a single disease entity. While the prevailing idea of CIDP pathogenesis is that cell-mediated and humoral processes interact in an abnormal immune response to damage peripheral neurons, the proportional roles of T cell and autoantibody responses are yet unknown. T cell responses to specified myelin antigens are responsible in animal models of spontaneous inflammatory neuropathy. Antibodies to Schwann cell, compact myelin, and nodal antigens have been found in different human inflammatory neuropathies. The roles of the cellular and humoral immune systems in the development of CIDP are discussed in this review. It is believed that, in the future, the identification of clinical phenotypes and the underlying disease processes would aid in the development of diagnostic and therapy options for CIDP.

Published: January 2023

The restaurant industry is a highly competitive space, with a large number of businesses vying for customers and trying to stand out in a crowded market. There are several factors that contribute to the competitiveness of the industry, including the abundance of options available to consumers, the increasing popularity of food delivery and takeout services, and the use of technology to enhance the customer experience. In order to succeed in this industry, restaurants must offer high-quality food and service, and also differentiate themselves from their competitors through unique offerings, strong branding, and effective marketing strategies. Additionally, restaurants must be mindful of trends and changes in consumer preferences and adapt their business models accordingly in order to stay competitive. To address these issues, the company must devise a strategy that addresses the underlying causes. This could entail conducting a market analysis and determining the needs of the target customer base. The restaurant’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats were identified using a SWOT analysis. Based on this analysis, it was determined that changing the company’s TOWS strategy would be the best course of action. This could be accomplished by implementing a revised service marketing mix. The purpose of this study was to better understand the relationship between the 7P marketing mix, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty in order to retain customers. According to the findings, there are four variables that can influence customer satisfaction (Product, People, Process, and Physical Evidence). Customer satisfaction has a significant impact on customer loyalty and should be incorporated into restaurant marketing mix strategy.

One of the oldest professions in human society is mathematics. It is closely tied to all stages of the development of human society's cognitive system. An essential tool for researching and resolving these real-world issues is mathematical modeling. A mathematical model is a structure that can be created mathematically by using the right tools and making the necessary, simplified assumptions about the underlying laws of a specific object and purpose in the real world. A mathematical model is an abstraction of real-world issues, to put it simply. Computer application technology has greatly influenced many different businesses as a result of computer progress. Among these, MATLAB is a piece of commercial math software that excels in applications for math in science and technology. One of the most widely used fourth-generation programming languages worldwide is MATLAB. It is one of the greatest environments for numerical analysis. Additionally, the most potent and effective language utilized in technical computing is MATLAB. It is designed to address mathematically notated challenges. It is employed in algorithm development and matrix calculations. Additionally, it enables us to run programmers written in any other programming language. It implies that MATLAB can make use of the advantages of other programming languages. It is extensively utilized in robotics, communications, control systems, signal processing, and image processing. This paper first examines MATLAB's benefits and discusses how to utilize it for mathematical operations and modeling.

O Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) é uma doença crônica causada por uma disfunção metabólica da insulina que gera grandes impactos na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Seu tratamento consiste no controle sérico da glicose e envolve mudança nos hábitos de vida associados ou não ao uso de medicação. O presente estudo objetivou-se a identificar os motivos que levam a não adesão ao tratamento não farmacológico dos pacientes com DM2 em estudos brasileiros. A busca dos dados baseou-se nas diretrizes para Revisões Sistemáticas e Meta-Análise (PRISMA) e foram realizadas através das plataformas Scielo e Google Scholar, utilizando os critérios de elegibilidade: artigos somente em língua portuguesa, estudos envolvendo pacientes submetidos ao tratamento não farmacológico do DM 2 e resultados dos fatores que levaram ou não à adesão ao tratamento da doença. Após análise da literatura é possível apontar que os principais fatores da não adesão ao tratamento não farmacológico do DM2 encontrados nos estudos foram: variáveis sociodemográficas (baixa qualidade de vida e renda, menor escolaridade e idade), motivação pessoal, dificuldades quanto a mudança do estilo de vida e falta de conhecimento sobre a doença e suas complicações. É necessário a realização de estudos que relacionem outros fatores a não adesão ao tratamento não farmacológico contribuindo, assim, com intervenções mais efetivas na qualidade de vida dos pacientes.
Prevalence of primary non-communicable morbidity in vegetables greenhouse workers
Authors: Bezrukova Galina A. , Migacheva Anna G. , Novikova Tamara A.
Published: January 2023

Introduction. In previous studies, we have shown that, despite the modernization of technological processes, working conditions in greenhouse vegetable growing continue to be harmful to the 3rd degree (class 3.3) with a proven occupational risk of development of production-related diseases of the circulatory system, musculoskeletal system, and respiratory system. In this regard, it seemed relevant to clarify the closeness of the relationship between work experience in the occupation and age status with the prevalence of primary non-communicable morbidity (PNCM) in female vegetable growers dealing with protected soil and its nosological structure. Materials and methods. In this paper, we used the results of extended medical examinations of female vegetable growers at the greenhouse facility of JSC “Sovkhoz-Vesna”, conducted in the period from 2013 to 2017. The level and nosological structure of the primary morbidity in workers were analyzed in accordance with the generally accepted methodology. Results. It was found that two hundred forty eight general somatic diseases were diagnosed in female workers during the period from 2013 to 2017. The level of PNCM for different years of observation was in the range of 181.8 - 231.9% with a tendency to decrease. The first ranks in the structure of the PNCM were arterial hypertension (AH) - 19.4%, dorsalgia - 12.5%, benign mammary dysplasia (BMD) - 8.9%, chronic bronchitis (CB) - 7.7% and obesity - 7.3%. Correlations of the age factor with hypertension, BMD and obesity corresponded to the gradation of moderate positive associations, with dorsalgia were weak positive ones, with BMD of noticeable positive ones. The age factor made the greatest contribution to the formation of PNCM in relation to BMD (25.7%), CB (22.7%) and obesity (15.4%). In the case of occupational experience, weak negative associations occurred with the prevalence of hypertension and BMD, weak positive ones with CB; negligible ones with obesity and only with dorsalgia, moderate positive ones. The probation factor determined only the development of dorsalgia (12.3%); the contribution to the development of other PNCM ranged from 0.2 to 4.4%. The nature of seniority-age associations with nosologies of PNCM coincided with the trends in the distribution of vegetable workers with PNCM in the functions of age categories and occupational experience. Limitations. The limitation of the study was the use of data obtained during the examination of vegetable workers of only one greenhouse complex in the analysis of the influence of long-term factors on the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. Conclusion. Thus, the preservation of the service longevity of working women requires the introduction of complementary health-saving technologies based on the reduction of common risk factors for both occupationally determined pathology and socially significant non-communicable diseases, taking into account gender and age characteristics

Meningkatnya jumlah lansia sebenarnya adalah indikator yang menunjukkan semakin sehatnya penduduk Indonesia karena usia harapan hidupnya meningkat, meskipun disisi lain produktivitas mereka menurun. Proses penuaan penduduk tentunya berdampak pada berbagai aspek kehidupan, baik sosial, ekonomi, dan terutama kesehatan, karena dengan semakin bertambahnya usia, fungsi organ tubuh akan semakin menurun baik karena faktor alamiah maupun karena penyakit. Kualitas hidup penduduk lanjut usia yang umumnya masih rendahdapat terlihat dari pendidikan akhir yang warga sebagian besar adalah sekolah dasar. Dari sisi kualitas hidup selain pendidikan, penduduk lanjut usia juga mengalami masalah kesehatan. Data menunjukkan bahwa ada kecenderungan angka kesakitan lanjut usia mengalami peningkatan dari tahun ke tahun. Kondisi ini tentunya harus mendapatkan perhatian dari berbagai pihak. Dari hasil survei  yang sudah dilakukan di Kelurahan bangkingan Kecamatan Lakrsantri Kota Surabaya,  data yang ditemukan di RW 01, 02 dan 03 Kelurahan Bangkingan jumlah keseluruhan lansia ada 196 orang dari total warga yaitu 2342 orang. Jumlah lansia yang mengalami masalah kesehatan seperti asam urat senyak 49 orang (25%), hipertensi 81 orang (41%), diabetes melitu 18 orang (9%).Penurunan kesehatan pada usai lanjut ini dapat disebabkan oleh berbagai faktor diantaranya adalah pola hidup yang kurang sehat seperti pola makan diwaktu muda, adanya faktor genetik, mekanisme koping yang kurang efektif dalam menghadapi masalah sehingga dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan pada lansia. Masalah kesehatan yang sering terjadi sebagai akibat dari pola hisup yang kurang sehat pada lansia adalah penyakit asam urat, hipertensi dan diabetes melitus. Mengingat kondisi dan permasalahan lanjut usia seperti diuraikan di atas, maka penanganan masalah lanjut usia harus menjadi prioritas, karena permasalahannya terus meningkat sesuai dengan pertambahan jumlahnya. Sehubungan dengan hal tersebut, maka kami mengadakan suatu kegiatan dengan tema “lansia sadar penyakit (LASAKIT) dan gerakan lansia sehat (GERKASA)” sebagai upaya untuk meningkatkan produktivitas di kalangan usia lanjut.

Published: January 2023

Orang tua yang memiliki anak usia Taman Kanak-kanak penting memahami/ mengetahui mengenai penyakit Cacar air yg merupakan infeksi oleh virus Varicella zoster. Virus ini ditularkan melalui udara (lewat percikan ludah pada saat penderita batuk/bersin) dan melalui kontak langsung dengan cairan dari lepuhan/ ruam. Penyakit ini sering menyerang anak-anak. Gejala utamanya adalah ruam/kemerahan di kulit yang menyerupai jerawat atau sengatan serangga dan terasa sangat gatal. Ruam ini akan berubah menjadi lepuhan berisi cairan yang kemudian akan pecah dan akhirnya membentuk keropeng setelah sembuh. Ruam biasanya pertama kali muncul di wajah, dada, perut dan punggung lalu menyebar ke seluruh tubuh. Gejala lainnya berupa demam, nyeri kepala, rasa lelah dan napsu makan menurun. Cacar air pada anak biasanya berlangsung selama 5-10 hari. Terapi yang diberikan meliputi: untuk mengatasi gatal, diberi lotion calamine pada kulit & anthistamin, sedangkan untuk penurun panas misalnya: paracetamol, asupan cairan ditingkatkan untuk mencegah dehidrasi dengan meningkatkan minum air, susu atau makanan cair. Hindari menggaruk ruam yang gatal karena garukan bisa menimbulkan luka yang dapat memicu terjadinya infeksi atau bekas luka yang menetap, sebaiknya potong kuku anak. Memberi pakaian yang nyaman untuk mencegah iritasi pada kulit. Cacar air pada anak sangat mudah menular untuk mencegah penularan terhadap teman-teman disekolah sebaiknya tinggal di rumah dan beristirahat sampai seluruh keropengnya mengering dan akan lepas sendiri keropeng yg sudah mengering. Penyakit cacar air dapat dicegah dengan pemberian vaksin cacar air / varisela. Pendidikan Kesehatan pada orang tua murid di TK Bunga Pertiwi dengan topik penyakit cacar air belum pernah diberikan, dari hasil wawancara beberapa ibu mengatakan kurang memahami mengenai pencegahan & perawatannya, sehingga pemberian edukasi/ Pendidikan kesehatan perlu diberikan. Tujuan dari Pendidikan Kesehatan/ edukasi ini untuk meningkatkan pemahaman orang tua mengenai pentingnya pencegahan penyakit cacar air pada pada siswa TK Bunga Pertiwi, sehingga orang tua dapat melakukan pencegahan dan jika anak mengalami cacar air orang segera mencari pengobatan ke puskesmas/ dokter keluarga serta mampu merawat anak dengan baik dan benar, meminimalkan terjadinya penularan terhadap orang-orang dilingkungannya dan mencegah terjadinya komplikasi pada anak yg menderita cacar air.
