Decision Making Using Machine Learning Based Opinion Prediction Model for Smart Governance
Authors: Kumar Akshi , Sharma Abhilasha 
Published: November 2019

Background:
Decision making requires a rigorous process of evaluation, which is an analytical
and organized process to figure out the present positive influences, favourable future prospects,
existing shortcomings and ulterior complexities of any plan, program, practice or a polity.
Evaluation of policy is an essential and vital process required to measure the performance or progression
of the scheme. The main purpose of policy evaluation is to empower various stakeholders
and enhance their socio-economic environment. A large number of policies or schemes in different
areas are launched/constituted by government in view of the citizen welfare. Although, the governmental
policies intend to better shape up the quality of life of people but may also impact their everyday's
life.

Objective:
The contemplation of public opinion plays a very significant role in the process of policy
evaluation. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to incorporate the concept of opinion mining in policy
evaluation. An attempt has been made to elevate the process of policy evaluation by analyzing public
opinion.

Methods:
A latest governmental scheme Saubhagya launched by the Indian government in 2017 has
been selected for evaluation by applying supervised learning based opinion mining techniques. The
data set of public opinion associated with this scheme has been captured by Twitter.

Results:
The result validates that the proposed methodology supports the optimizing process of policy
evaluation and provides a more accurate and actual status of policy's effect among Indian citizen.
As a result, this would aid in identifying and implementing the preventive and corrective measures
required to be taken for a successful policy.

Conclusion:
The proposed methodology will stabilize and strengthen the process of policy evaluation
which target towards favourable and flourishing future prospects concerning the socio-economic
status of a nation. The results are quite exciting and further extension of work will be performed in
order to develop and design a patent framework in the area of social big data analytics.

Published: November 2019

Objective:
An efficient and facile preparation route has been developed to prepare
activated carbon (AC)/zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomposite electrodes for the supercapacitor
electrode.

Methods:
The zinc oxide nanostructure was synthesized via the sol-gel method by using
conventional hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) reagent as the reducing agent.

Results:
The physicochemical and electrochemical properties of the nanocomposites were
characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis, respectively.
10 wt% of ZnO loading shows an optimum specific capacitance of 398 F/g at a
scan rate of 50 mV/s. The optimum sample retained 96% of its initial specific capacitance
upon 100 consecutive cycles.

Conclusion:
The enhanced specific capacitance can be ascribed to the synergistic effect of
the individual properties of AC and ZnO.

What Patients Value in Physicians: Analyzing Drivers of Patient Satisfaction Using Physician-Rating Website Data
Authors: Bidmon Sonja , Elshiewy Ossama , Terlutter Ralf , Boztug Yasemin 
Published: November 2019

BackgroundCustomer-oriented health care management and patient satisfaction have become important for physicians to attract patients in an increasingly competitive environment. Satisfaction influences patients’ choice of physician and leads to higher patient retention and higher willingness to engage in positive word of mouth. In addition, higher satisfaction has positive effects on patients’ willingness to follow the advice given by the physician. In recent years, physician-rating websites (PRWs) have emerged in the health care sector and are increasingly used by patients. Patients’ usage includes either posting an evaluation to provide feedback to others about their own experience with a physician or reading evaluations of other patients before choosing a physician. The emergence of PRWs offers new avenues to analyze patient satisfaction and its key drivers. PRW data enable both satisfaction analyses and implications on the level of the individual physician as well as satisfaction analyses and implications on an overall level.ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify linear and nonlinear effects of patients’ perceived quality of physician appointment service attributes on the overall evaluation measures that are published on PRWs.MethodsWe analyzed large-scale survey data from a German PRW containing 84,680 surveys of patients rating a total of 7038 physicians on 24 service attributes and 4 overall evaluation measures. Elasticities are estimated from regression models with perceived attribute quality as explanatory variables and overall evaluation measures as dependent variables. Depending on the magnitude of the elasticity, service attributes are classified into 3 categories: attributes with diminishing, constant, or increasing returns to overall evaluation.ResultsThe proposed approach revealed new insights into what patients value when visiting physicians and what they take for granted. Improvements in the physicians’ pleasantness and friendliness have increasing returns to the publicly available overall evaluation (b=1.26). The practices’ cleanliness (b=1.05) and the communication behavior of a physician during a visit (b level between .97 and 1.03) have constant returns. Indiscretion in the waiting rooms, extended waiting times, and a lack of modernity of the medical equipment (b level between .46 and .59) have the strongest diminishing returns to overall evaluation.ConclusionsThe categorization of the service attributes supports physicians in identifying potential for improvements and prioritizing resource allocation to improve the publicly available overall evaluation ratings on PRWs. Thus, the study contributes to patient-centered health care management and, furthermore, promotes the utility of PRWs through large-scale data analysis.

Por causa de uma cerca: Território e narrativa cisados pelo medo em O som ao redor e Historia del miedo
Authors: Sales Rocha Santos Fernanda 
Published: November 2019

Será realizada uma análise comparativa entre o longa-metragem brasileiro O som ao redor (Kleber Mendonça Filho, 2013) e o filme argentino Bem perto de Buenos Aires (Historia del miedo, Benjamín Naishtat, 2014) por meio do estudo de como a temática da cisão territorial —tanto na Grande Buenos Aires, quanto em Recife— se relaciona com a questão do ressentimento social e se reflete, de forma análoga, na estrutura narrativa e estética de ambos os filmes. Para tanto, será demonstrado como a fragmentação narrativa, em diálogo com elementos de uma tradição do horror, se vincula com a temática do ressentimento por motivos territoriais nos dois países. Diante das urgências das disputas pelo espaço que tanto o filme de Benjamín Naishtat quanto o de Kleber Mendonça Filho evocam, busca-se comparar os recursos narrativos para a abordagem de um impasse ancestral e central da América Latina: o impasse das cercas.
AN OVERVIEW ON CURRENT REGULATION AND EVALUATION OF BIOCIDAL PRODUCTS
Authors: ŞAHİNER Aslı , YAPAR Evren ALGIN 
Published: November 2019

A biocidal product is a substance or mixture prepared to limit, destroy, neutralize or control the effects of a harmful microorganism, plants and animals. The active substance in a biocidal product can be a natural oil or extract, a chemical substance or a microorganism, virus or fungus. Biocides consist of four main groups: disinfectants, preservatives (wood, paint, etc.), pest control and other type of biocidal products. A biocidal substance can also be added to a product to make the product itself into a biocidal product. These products range from disinfectants, hand sanitizers, preservatives, insect repellents, to rodenticides and insecticides and are used to protect humans, animals, materials and articles by controlling the intended target organism by a chemical or biological action. To make sure the use of biocidal products do not have unacceptable risks for people, animals and the environment, they are regulated to control their marketing, sale and use. In the current study biocidal products have been overviewed in the scope of current European Union regulations, product types and conformity tests.

POTENTIAL OF SNAKEHEAD FISH (OPHIOCEPHALUS STRIATUS) IN ACCELERATING WOUND HEALING
Authors: Tungadi Robert 
Published: November 2019

Snakehead fish (Ophiocephalus striatus) (SF) is a type of fish that lives in fresh water and is widely known by the public. The properties and uses of SF have been scientifically proven to increase albumin levels and immune system as well as speed up the process of post-operative wound healing. The nutritional content of SF consists of albumin protein, amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids and minerals. Bioactive compounds that play a role in accelerating the wound healing process are albumin, glycine, and zinc (Zn). Wound healing is very dependent on the biochemical processes that occur on the skin involving intrinsic and extrinsic factors. This healing process will be accelerated with the help of dried SF extract which is designed in topical form such as cream or gel. Among albumin, glycine and Zn are important for wound healing because this protein is able to bind Zn and carry it in blood plasma. Zn deficiency reduces the wound healing process. Because of this nutrient, and other vitamins, it is present in SF extract so that it can trigger the formation of Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPC) and accelerate wound healing. The presence of Zn in SF extract is likely to be a key factor playing a role in wound healing and also increases the appetite of children. Zn is an important mineral in the structure and function of cell membranes. Zn supplementation can limit membrane damage which is caused by free radicals during inflammation. Furthermore, Zn is also involved in the immune system, from the defense system by the skin to the regulation of genes in lymphocytes.

ALCOHOL INFLUENCES AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR THAT INCREASES LIKELIHOOD OF INITIATING DATING VIOLENCE AMONG MALE YOUTH IN COLLEGES WITHIN WESTERN COUNTRIES: A SCOPING REVIEW
Authors: Anis Muhammad Ariff Aidil Bin Mohd , Pius Prince Cyrill Sim , Aslam Muhammad Shahzad 
Published: November 2019

The youth demographic are often linked to alcohol consumption, and it is a widespread assumption that consuming alcohol will increase the likelihood of initiating violence. In the United States, alcohol is the most popular psychoactive drug used and contributes to 40% of violent crimes happening in the country. Among the many forms of violence, dating violence or interpersonal violence are often related to alcohol. Dating violence is often caused by male partners. 20% to 30% of male college students physically abuse their dating partners. Thus, this review study proposes the influence of alcohol on behaviour on male youth in Western colleges and the likelihood of dating violence to emerge. Online journals involving alcohol and violence among male college students in Western countries are searched on PubMed. The Western country selected in the studies found is the United States. The studies chosen were randomised and quantitative studies. Hence, the review hopefully serves as a trigger for future policies to consider the dangers of intoxication more seriously and more research should be done regarding the relationship between alcohol and violent behaviour so that interpersonal violence among adolescents can be reduced.

Authors: Shadid Samyah , Abosi-Appeadu Kessewa , De Maertelaere Anne-Sophie , Defreyne Justine , Veldeman Laurens , Holst Jens J. , Lapauw Bruno , Vilsbøll Tina , T’Sjoen Guy 
Published: November 2019

OBJECTIVE
The long-term influences of sex hormone administration on insulin sensitivity and incretin hormones are controversial. We investigated these effects in 35 transgender men (TM) and 55 transgender women (TW) from the European Network for the Investigation of Gender Incongruence (ENIGI) study.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Before and after 1 year of gender-affirming hormone therapy, body composition and oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) were evaluated.

RESULTS
In TM, body weight (2.8 ± 1.0 kg; P &lt; 0.01), fat-free mass (FFM) (3.1 ± 0.9 kg; P &lt; 0.01), and waist-to-hip ratio (−0.03 ± 0.01; P &lt; 0.01) increased. Fasting insulin (−1.4 ± 0.8 mU/L; P = 0.08) and HOMA of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (2.2 ± 0.3 vs. 1.8 ± 0.2; P = 0.06) tended to decrease, whereas fasting glucose (−1.6 ± 1.6 mg/dL), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) (−1.8 ± 1.0 pmol/L), and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) (−0.2 ± 1.1 pmol/L) were statistically unchanged. Post-OGTT areas under the curve (AUCs) for GIP (2,068 ± 1,134 vs. 2,645 ± 1,248 [pmol/L] × min; P &lt; 0.01) and GLP-1 (2,352 ± 796 vs. 2,712 ± 1,015 [pmol/L] × min; P &lt; 0.01) increased. In TW, body weight tended to increase (1.4 ± 0.8 kg; P = 0.07) with decreasing FFM (−2.3 ± 0.4 kg; P &lt; 0.01) and waist-to-hip ratio (−0.03 ± 0.01; P &lt; 0.01). Insulin (3.4 ± 0.8 mU/L; P &lt; 0.01) and HOMA-IR (1.7 ± 0.1 vs. 2.4 ± 0.2; P &lt; 0.01) rose, fasting GIP (−1.4 ± 0.8 pmol/L; P &lt; 0.01) and AUC GIP dropped (2,524 ± 178 vs. 1,911 ± 162 [pmol/L] × min; P &lt; 0.01), but fasting glucose (−0.3 ± 1.4 mg/dL), GLP-1 (1.3 ± 0.8 pmol/L), and AUC GLP-1 (2,956 ± 180 vs. 2,864 ± 93 [pmol/L] × min) remained unchanged.

CONCLUSIONS
In this cohort of transgender persons, insulin sensitivity but also post-OGTT incretin responses tend to increase with masculinization and to decrease with feminization.
Multidisciplinary Management and Pulp Vitality Preservation of a Tooth With Extensive Iatrogenic Furcal Root Perforation and Biologic Width Violation
Authors: Angerame D , De Biasi M , Franco V , Generali L 
Published: November 2019

SUMMARYThis article describes the case of a vital molar tooth with a vast furcal iatrogenic root perforation and biologic width violation, which was successfully managed by a multidisciplinary approach aimed at preserving pulp vitality. The root perforation was cleaned and then sealed with mineral trioxide aggregate, which was positioned onto the pulp at the canal orifices. After one month, the patient was not reporting symptoms, and the tooth was positively responding to the thermal test. The tooth was orthodontically extruded, subjected to minimally invasive crown lengthening, and prepared to receive a full-crown restoration. Radiotransparent composite resin was chosen as a permanent restorative material to better monitor possible endodontic complications at the coronal level. The patient's tooth was followed up for eight years uneventfully. The present case is an example of the possibility to subject a root-repaired tooth with fully formed apices to conservative yet complex multidisciplinary treatment while maintaining pulp vitality.
