Abstract
The emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused a large-scale outbreak and has rapidly spread across China and multiple countries. We reported countermeasures in infection control for diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV-2) infection and the experiences of point of care diagnostics and medical quarantine for presumed SARS-CoV-2-infected subjects. We conducted a retrospective cohort study on subjects came to Chung Shan Medical University Hospital with suspicion of SARS-CoV-2 infection during January to March, 2020. We performed the real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction testing (rRT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2-infection and reported the results of testing and treatment. A total of 212 participants were enrolled due to suspicion of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Five of those were confirmed COVID-19 cases after monitoring for a period of 14 days and were cured. The time to rRT-PCR test conversion after treatment is variate. The infection control measures of home quarantine and mandatory medical quarantine combined with rapid diagnosis seem to postpone the speed of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection at once in Taiwan. Due to lack of vaccination and confirmed antiviral therapy, it is important to strictly abide by the infection control measures.
Networks and Religion: Ties that Bind, Loose, Build Up, and Tear Down
Authors: Heiberger Sean F. 
Published: May 2020

Abstract
That social networks play a central role in religious life is well accepted by most social scientists. We are reasonably confident, for instance, that they are crucial for the recruitment and retention of members, the diffusion of religious ideas and practices, motivating individuals to volunteer and become politically active, the health and well-being of people of faith, and conflict, radicalization, and (sometimes) violence. However, in conference presentations, journal articles, and books social network analysts have shown little interest in exploring the interplay of networks and religion. In this paper, I review, and in some cases expand upon, what social scientists of religion have learned about networks and religion. I conclude with a call for social network analysts to focus the analytical tools of social network analysis on a phenomenon that has and continues to exert considerable influence in today’s world.

Published: May 2020

Abstract
N, S co-doped MnFe2O4@C magnetic nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a simple method involving the preparation of MnFe2O4 nanoparticles and subsequent pyrolysis treatment. The physical and chemical properties of MnFe2O4, MnFe2O4@C and MnFe2O4@C–NS nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption–desorption and the pH at the point of zero charge. Their performances in the adsorption of Hg(II) from water were investigated. The adsorption process followed pseudo-second-order kinetics and the experimental data of equilibrium isotherms fitted well with the Langmuir model. MnFe2O4@C–NS showed the highest adsorption capacity of 108.56 mg/g, increasing more than 1.7 times compared to MnFe2O4. The enhanced adsorption performance was attributed to the larger specific surface area as well as the complexation of N and S ligands on the surface. The thermodynamic parameters of ΔH°, ΔS° and ΔG° at 30 °C were −24.39 kJ/mol, −0.046 kJ/mol K and −10.45 kJ/mol, respectively, which indicated that the adsorption of Hg(II) on MnFe2O4@C–NS was exothermic and spontaneous in nature. Moreover, MnFe2O4@C–NS showed superior selectivity towards Hg(II) compared with other metal ions generally present in mercury-containing industrial wastewater.

Authors: Ferreira Luiz Eduardo Nunes , Abdalla Henrique Ballassini , da Costa Jéssica Pereira , de Freitas Domingues Juliana Souza , Burga-Sánchez Jonny , Groppo Francisco Carlos , Volpato Maria Cristina 
Published: May 2020

Background:
Antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects of lidocaine have been reported in tumor
cells. However, the use of these drugs is restricted due to their short action with rapid dispersion
from the injected site. The complexation of local anesthetics in 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-
CD) is able to improve pharmacological features.

Objective:
This study evaluated the antitumor effects of lidocaine and the complex HP-β-CD-lidocaine
(HP-β-CD-lido).

Methods:
In vitro, human adenocarcinoma (HeLa) and keratinocytes (HaCaT) were exposed to lidocaine
formulations and cell viability, proliferation and apoptosis induction were measured. In vivo,
Walker 256 carcinoma cells were subcutaneously injected into the plantar region of the rat right hind
paw. The animals were treated with a local application of 5% lidocaine or 5% HP-β-CD-lido. Doxorubicin
(3 mg/Kg/day, intraperitoneal) was used as a positive control. Edema sizes were measured daily
and the release of cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1α and CXCL-1) and prostaglandin E2 was evaluated. Histological
analysis was also performed.

Results:
HaCaT IG50 values were 846 μM and 2253 μM for lido and HP-β-CD-lido, respectively. In
HeLa cells, the IG50 was 1765 μM for lido and 2044 μM for HP-β-CD-lido. Lidocaine formulations
significantly reduced the paw edema on day 6 after Walker 256 cells inoculation. However, there were
no differences in the release of inflammatory mediators in comparison to the control group.

Conclusion:
Lidocaine formulations were able to reduce the edema in vivo, without affecting the tumor-
induced inflammatory response. The antiproliferative effects of lidocaine formulations may have
contributed to tumor reduction.
A Novel Scheme for Prevention and Detection of Black Hole & Gray Hole Attack in VANET Network
Authors: Kumar Ankit , Dadheech Pankaj , Goyal Dinesh , Patidar Pawan K. , Dogiwal S.R. , Janu Neha 
Published: May 2020

Background and Objective:
VANET is an application used for the intelligent transportation
system which improves traffic safety as well as its efficiency. We have reviewed the patents
related to vehicular Ad-Hoc Network and their issue. To avoid road accidents a lot of information
we need in advance. This paper has developed a framework which minimizes the possibilities of the
black hole attack in VANET. According to us, there are two possible solutions for this purpose. The
first is to see alternative routes for the same destination. The second compromises of exploiting the
packet header's packet sequence number which is always included in each packet header. The second
procedure is able to verify that 72% to 96% of route which is discovered depends on pause
time t which is the minimum time for delay in the packet transition in the network when AODV
routing protocol is used for packet transitions.

Methods:
In this approach we used twenty five nodes. In which two are source nodes, two are destination
nodes and four are invaders. We analyses the effects of these invaders on the network and
studied their behavior on the network on different time-period to analyses if invader is black hole
invader or the invader is Gray hole. To calculate send packets, received packets, packet drop, packet
drop fraction, end-to-end delay, AWK script is used.

Results and Conclusion:
Through this work we simulate the result in the time frame of 100 ms
manually and on graph the time frame is not available so the time frame is processed by trace graph
accordingly. In the simulation we took 25 nodes initially and start the procedure to send the packets
over nodes. At first packets are broadcasted to every node to find out the location of nodes and
packets are dropped once the path is established and then the packets are transferred to the path established
over network.

Conclusion:
VANET is seen as the future of the network, and the need to secure it is crucial for the
safety of it from various attacks. A secured VANET is essential for the future of the network and
also currently acquiring this network will also boost the possibility of VANET to develop and reduce
the time of its implementation in the real world scenarios. In this work, we have designed a
framework and analyzed it for the possible attacks by the black hole, and Gray Hole attacks and also
effects of the attacks are recorded and studied by practically using it. After analyzing it’s concluded
that the attacks can be implemented and detected over the network.
Alcoholic Neuropathy: Involvement of Multifaceted Signalling Mechanisms
Authors: Behl Tapan , Yadav Harlokesh N. , Sharma Pyare L. 
Published: May 2020

Background:
Alcoholic neuropathy is a chronic disorder caused by excessive consumption of alcohol. Damage to the
nerves results in unusual sensations in the limbs, decrease mobility and loss of some body functions.

Objective:
Alcohol is considered a major villain for exclusively creating the debilitating condition of the neuropathic state. This
review critically examines the key mediators involved in the pathogenesis of alcoholic neuropathy and the targets which upon
selective inhibition alleviates the progression of alcoholic neuropathy.

Method:
A thorough study of research and review articles available on the internet from PubMed, MEDLINE, and concerned sites
was performed on alcoholic neuropathy.

Result:
A deal of impairment in axonal transportation is quiet common with the progression of alcoholic neuropathy. Nutritional
deficiencies lead to axonal neuropathies that escalate a variety of complications that further worsens the state. PKC and PKA play
a significant role in the pathogenesis of alcoholic neuropathy. PKC plays a well-marked role in modulating NMDA receptor currents
manifesting to excitation in the neurons. MMPs are involved in the number of pathologies that destructs CNS and reduction in the
level of endogenous antioxidants like -tocopherol, vitamin E with ethanol promotes oxidative stress by generating free radicals
and lipid peroxidation.

Conclusion:
Oxidative stress is implicated in the activation of MMPs causing blood-brain barrier disruption, the latter involved in
the trafficking and passages of molecules in and out of the cell. Chronic alcohol consumption leads to the downregulation of CNS
receptors consequently precipitating the condition of alcoholic neuropathy.

Published: May 2020

La enseñanza del Inglés como Lengua Extranjera (ILE) es un área de amplio crecimiento en República Dominicana. En este contexto, la figura del docente de ILE es preponderante. Este artículo tiene el objetivo de identificar dos aspectos clave en el campo profesional de la enseñanza: Diseño Instruccional (DI) y Desarrollo Profesional Docente (DPD). En primer lugar, se analiza la percepción de estos docentes concerniente a la secuencia o estructura del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. En segundo lugar, se estudia qué consideran los maestros como DPD. Para recolectar datos relevantes, fue utilizada la encuesta como instrumento de investigación a través de un formulario de Google Forms (n=79). Los resultados de este estudio plantean una presencia predominante de enfoques tradicionales en la enseñanza del ILE que no refleja la corriente posmétodo actual, y una idea turbia con respecto a lo que realmente supone el desarrollo profesional docente, altamente limitada a programas de formación y promoción laboral. Al final del estudio, se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados y recomendaciones para docentes en servicio.
Pengaruh Desain Universal dan Usabilitas pada Fasilitas Publik di Perguruan Tinggi bagi Penyandang Disabilitas
Authors: Harahap Rachmita Maun 
Published: May 2020

Interioritas bukan sekedar ilmu rancang ruang dalam yang memenuhi kebutuhan fungsi dan estetika semata. Kedua hal tersebut memang menjadi ‘tugas’ utama dalam desain interior. Setiap bangunan dirancang dan dibangun untuk memenuhi fungsi tertentu. Hotel, apartemen, dan rumah tinggal misalnya, berfungsi sebagai sarana akomodasi. Restaurant berfungsi sebagai bangunan komersial yang memenuhi kebutuhan pangan. Sebuah bangunan publik harus dapat diakses dan digunakan oleh berbagai kebutuhan yang berbeda. Bangunan-bangunan ini harus mampu diakses oleh mereka yang dapat melihat maupun tidak atau tuna netra, mereka yang mampu berjalan maupun pengguna kursi roda atau tuna daksa, serta mereka yang mampu mendengar maupun tidak atgau rungu. Paper ini merupakan sebuah kajian teoritis dan penerapan desain universal yang aksesibel pada bangunan publik yang berfungsi sebagai universitas. Studi kasus yang diambil dalam penelitian ini adalah Universitas Mercu Buana di Jakarta Barat dan Universitas Daedu di Daegu-Korea Selatan. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengaji desain universal pada kedua universitas tersebut dengan mempertimbangkan dua parameter, yaitu desain universal dan desain usabilitas, dengan melakukan studi literatur dan wawancara terhadap pengguna (user). Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa, universitas-, universitas di Daegu telah menjadikan faktor desain universal dan usabilitas sebagai bagian penting dalam desain, sedangkan kampus Universitas Mercu Buana di Jakarta Barat belum sepenuhnya menjadikan kedua faktor tersebut sebagai bagian dalam desain, dengan banyaknya fasilitas yang tidak dapat diakses dan digunakan dengan baik secara universal.

Authors: Walton Stephanie , Wheeler Patrick R. , Zhang Yiyang (Ian) , Zhao Xinlei (Ray) 
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT
Advances in information technology have greatly changed communications and business transactions between firms and their customers and suppliers. As a result, cybersecurity risk attracts ever increasing attention from firms, regulators, customers, shareholders, and academics. For instance, the Securities and Exchange Commission has released guidance on the disclosure of cybersecurity risks and incidents, along with potential internal control solutions, in the managers' discussion and analysis section of 10-K annual financial reports. Despite increasing interest in cybersecurity research, the literature lacks an integrative review of existing research identifying opportunities for future cybersecurity developments. In this study, we conduct an extensive analysis of cybersecurity-related papers in the accounting, information systems, computer science, and general business disciplines. Our review integrates and classifies 68 cybersecurity papers, examines cybersecurity determinants, consequences, and remedial strategies, and identifies future research opportunities based on the current state of the literature.

Authors: Pontes MMA , Gomes JML , Lemos CAA , Leão RS , Moraes SLD , Vasconcelos BCE , Pellizzer EP 
Published: May 2020

SUMMARY

Objective:
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide (35%) regarding tooth sensitivity and color change in tooth bleaching in comparison to low concentrations (6% to 20%).

Methods and Materials:
This review was conducted using the criteria of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and is registered on the Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42017064493). The PICO question was “Does a concentration of hydrogen peroxide ≥35% using in-office bleaching procedure contribute to greater tooth sensitivity?” A search was made in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library.

Results:
Fourteen studies were selected for the qualitative analysis and seven for quantitative analysis. A total of 649 patients were evaluated (mean age: 36.32 years; range: 13.9 to 31 years), and the follow-up period ranged from one week to 12 months. The meta-analysis demonstrated that tooth sensitivity was higher in the patients submitted to treatment involving a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide (0.67; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.44 to 1.03; p=0.04; I2: 56%), and a significant difference was found regarding objective color ΔE (1.53; 95% CI: 2.99 to 0.08; p&lt;0.0001; I2: 82%) but no significant difference was found regarding subjective color ΔSGU (0.24; CI: 0.75 to 1.23; p&lt;0.00001; I2: 89%).

Conclusions:
This study indicated that a lower concentration of hydrogen peroxide causes less tooth sensitivity and better effectiveness in objective color change (ΔE); however, there is no difference between them related to subjective color (ΔSGU).

Authors: Laksono Anang Dwi , Widyawati Nugraheni 
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT Chrysanthemum cut flowers (Dendranthema grandiflora L.) after harvest have a short vase life, so that efforts are needed to extend the freshness period. The basic principle of extending the freshness of cut flowers is through soaking in water containing sugar, controlling acidity, and microbes in the soaking solution. This research aims to determine the effect of wuluh starfruit extract and sugar concentrations in the soaking solution on the vase life of chrysanthemums. The research was conducted using Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting two factors, that is concentration of wuluh starfruit (Averrhoa bilimbi Linn.) with variations concentration 0% (B0), 1% (B1), 2% (B2), 3% (B3) and white crystalline sugar with variations concentration 0% (S0), 1% (S1), 2% (S2), 4% (S3), so there are 16 treatment combinations. Each treatment was three repetitions. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variants (ANOVA) followed by an Honestly Significant Difference Test (BNJ) with a 95% confidence levels. The results showed that treatment giving of wuluh starfruit extract 2% + 1% of sugar (B2S1) was able to maintain chrysanthemum cut flowers during storage with maintaining flower vase life up to 17.80 days. Keywords: Chrysanthemum, soaking solution, vase life
