Analysis of Univariate and Multivariate Filters Towards the Early Detection of Dementia
Authors: Khanna Kavita , Bansal Deepika , Chhikara Rita , Dua Rakesh Kumar , Malhotra Rajeev 
Published: October 2020

Objective:
Dementia is a progressive neurodegenerative brain disease emerging as a global
health problem in adults aged 65 years or above, resulting in the death of nerve cells. The elimination
of redundant and irrelevant features from the datasets is however necessary for accurate detection
thus timely treatment of dementia.

Methods:
For this purpose, an ensemble approach of univariate and multivariate feature selection
methods has been proposed in this study. A comparison of four univariate feature selection techniques
(t-Test, Wilcoxon, Entropy and ROC) and six multivariate feature selection approaches (ReliefF,
Bhattacharyya, CFSSubsetEval, ClassifierAttributeEval, CorrelationAttributeEval, OneRAttributeEval)
has been performed. The ensemble of best univariate & multivariate filter algorithms is
proposed which helps in acquiring a subset of features that includes only relevant and non-redundant
features. The classification is performed using Naïve Bayes, k-NN, and Random Forest algorithms.

Results:
Experimental results show that t-Test and ReliefF feature selection is capable of selecting
10 relevant features that give the same accuracy when all features are considered. In addition to it,
the accuracy obtained using k-NN with an ensemble approach is 99.96%. The statistical significance
of the method has been established using Friedman’s statistical test.

Conclusion:
The new ranking criteria computed by the ensemble method efficiently eliminate the
insignificant features and reduces the computational cost of the algorithm. The ensemble method has
been compared to the other approaches for ensuring the superiority of the proposed model.

Discussion:
The percentage gain in accuracy for all three classifiers, Naïve Bayes, k-NN, and Random
Forest shows a remarkable difference noted down for the percentage gain in the accuracies after
applying feature selection using Naïve Bayes and k-NN. Using univariate filter selection methods,
the t-test is outshining among all the methods while selecting only 10 feature subsets.

Published: October 2020

Background
Social media is commonly used in public health interventions to promote cancer screening and early diagnosis, as it can rapidly deliver targeted public health messages to large numbers of people. However, there is currently little understanding of the breadth of social media interventions and evaluations, whether they are effective, and how they might improve outcomes.

Objective
This scoping review aimed to map the evidence for social media interventions to improve cancer screening and early diagnosis, including their impact on behavior change and how they facilitate behavior change.

Methods
Five databases and the grey literature were searched to identify qualitative and quantitative evaluations of social media interventions targeting cancer screening and early diagnosis. Two reviewers independently reviewed each abstract. Data extraction was carried out by one author and verified by a second author. Data on engagement was extracted using an adapted version of the key performance indicators and metrics related to social media use in health promotion. Insights, exposure, reach, and differing levels of engagement, including behavior change, were measured. The behavior change technique taxonomy was used to identify how interventions facilitated behavior change.

Results
Of the 23 publications and reports included, the majority (16/23, 70%) evaluated national cancer awareness campaigns (eg, breast cancer awareness month). Most interventions delivered information via Twitter (13/23, 57%), targeted breast cancer (12/23, 52%), and measured exposure, reach, and low- to medium-level user engagement, such as number of likes (9/23, 39%). There were fewer articles about colorectal and lung cancer than about breast and prostate cancer campaigns. One study found that interventions had less reach and engagement from ethnic minority groups. A small number of articles (5/23, 22%) suggested that some types of social media interventions might improve high-level engagement, such as intended and actual uptake of screening. Behavior change techniques, such as providing social support and emphasizing the consequences of cancer, were used to engage users. Many national campaigns delivered fundraising messages rather than actionable health messages.

Conclusions
The limited evidence suggests that social media interventions may improve cancer screening and early diagnosis. Use of evaluation frameworks for social media interventions could help researchers plan more robust evaluations that measure behavior change. We need a greater understanding of who engages with these interventions to know whether social media can be used to reduce some health inequalities in cancer screening and early diagnosis.

The province of South Sumatra is still one of the malaria endemic areas in Indonesia. The identification and mapping of malaria receptive areas have been conducted by the Provincial Health Office of South Sumatra to monitor the level of malaria receptivity in all districts/municipalities. This research was conducted in October to November 2018 in 9 districts with low malaria endemicity (Lubuklinggau City, Mura, Muratara, OKU, South OKU, East OKU, Muba, Muara Enim, and Lahat) and have not yet achieved malaria elimination. The purpose of this study was to obtain information about Anopheles mosquito species and the types of Anopheles larvae breeding habitats. Mosquito identification was carried out on adult female Anopheles mosquitoes that are captured in the vicinity of cattle pens and the results of breeding from the larval stage. The results showed that larvae and adult Anopheles were still found. Anopheles habitat types found include irrigation channels, paddy fields, paddy water flow, fish ponds, buffalo pools, swamps, and lakes. The species of Anopheles captured were Anopheles vagus, An. barbisrostris, An. tesselatus, An. subpictus, An. nigerrimus, An. kochi, An. umbrosus, An. barbumbrosus and An. maculatus. Anopheles mosquito surveillance activities must still be done regularly to prevent malaria transmission. Reactivating abandoned fish ponds and environmental management can be an alternative effort in controlling Anopheles.

A lecturer with a good performance has a positive impact on the quality of teaching and learning. The said quality includes the delivery of teaching materials, learning methods, and ultimately the academic results of students. Performance of lecturers contributes significantly to the quality of research and community service which in turn improves the quality of teaching materials. It is desirable, therefore, to have a method to measure the performance of lecturers in carrying out the Tri Dharma (or the three responsibility) activities, which consist of teaching and learning process, research, and community service activities, including publications at both national and international level. This study seeks to measure the performance of lecturers and cluster them into three categories, namely "satisfactory", "good", and "poor". Data were taken from academic works of nursing study program lecturers in conducting academic activities. Clustering process is carried out using two machine learning approaches, which is K-Means and K-Medoids algorithms. Evaluation of the clustering results suggests that K-Medoids algorithm performs better compared to using K-Means. DBI score for clustering techniques using K-Means is -0.417 while the score for K-Medoids is -0.652. The significant difference in the score shows that K-Medoids algorithm works better in determining the performance of lecturers in carrying out Tri Dharma activities.

Dynamic Response Analysis of Drill Pipe Considering Horizontal Movement of Platform During Installation of Subsea Production Tree
Authors: Wang Fei , Chen Neng 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
In order to study the dynamic response of a drill pipe under the motion of the float platform, current and waves during the installation of a subsea production tree (SPT), a numerical model was established to analyse the mechanical properties of the drill pipe. The effects of the float platform motion on the mechanical behaviours of the drill pipe are carried out as well as the operation depth, submerged weight of the SPT, current velocity and drill pipe specification. At the same time, the evolution mechanism of the dynamic response of the drill pipe was also explored. The results show that the bending stress of the drill pipe approaches the maximum value when the platform moves to about one fourth of its period. Based on the research, the deeper the operation depth, the smaller the range of motion of the bottom of the drill pipe; the current velocity and the size of drill pipe have the greatest influence on the lateral displacement and bending stress.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
The dynamic development of additive manufacturing technologies, especially over the last few years, has increased the range of possible industrial applications of 3D printed elements. This is a consequence of the distinct advantages of additive techniques, which include the possibility of improving the mechanical strength of products and shortening lead times. Offshore industry is one of these promising areas for the application of additive manufacturing. This paper presents a decision support method for the manufacturing of offshore equipment components, and compares a standard subtractive method with an additive manufacturing approach. An analytic hierarchy process was applied to select the most effective and efficient production method, considering CNC milling and direct metal laser sintering. A final set of decision criteria that take into account the specifics of the offshore industry sector are provided.

Abstract
The diagnostics and treatment of ankle trauma remain challenging as they enable the patients’ return to work and ability to perform daily activities. The aim of the study was to evaluate characteristics and outcomes of ankle injuries, focusing on the trauma mechanisms in winter and summer seasons. A retrospective study was conducted of 182 patients with ankle injuries, admitted to the Hospital of Traumatology and Orthopaedics in 2014, 2015, and 2016 from the months December to February, and from June to August. Patients with supination-external rotation (SER) type ankle injuries were included in the functional outcome evaluation. Our results suggested that most of the injuries were SER type, stage IV in both seasons, and that more than 2/3 of the SER type ankle injuries that needed surgery were in the winter season. In patients with tibiofibular syndesmosis (TFS) rupture the functional results were worse than in those without TFS rupture, but in winter and summer seasons they seemed to be without statistical difference.
Optimisation of Lactose Hydrolysis by Combining Solids and ß-Galactosidase Concentrations in Whey Permeates
Authors: Majore Kristīne , Ciproviča Inga 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
A detailed study of lactose hydrolysis was conducted using 50, 250 and 500 units of ß-galactosidase (Kluyveromyces lactis and Bacillus licheniformis origin) in acid and sweet whey permeates at different solid concentrations 20%, 30% and 40% (w·v−1). The amount of lactose, glucose and galactose was measured by HPLC – RID. Hydrolysis was carried out at optimal enzyme temperature 42.5 °C for 4 h. Medium pH before hydrolysis was adjusted using 10% KOH. The experimental results were compared taking into account the sugar profiles and experimental conditions. The highest lactose hydrolysis occurred at solid concentration 20% (w·v−1) and at enzyme amounts of 250 and 500 units for both permeates. Using 50 units of enzymes, in many cases the amounts of glucose and galactose were more or less equal in range of 6.5–43 g·l−1 and the hydrolysis percentage was quite low in the range of 2.7–62%. Comparing both whey permeates, a higher hydrolysis percentage (99%) was obtained using acid whey and 500 enzyme units.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the performance and stability of agronomic and grain quality traits of 11 spring barley varieties from the Latvian breeding programme grown in two locations for four years. The study was carried out on 11 Latvian spring barley varieties: nine covered varieties ‘Abava’, ‘Ansis’, ‘Austris’, ‘Didzis’, ‘Gāte’, ‘Idumeja’, ‘Jumara’, ‘Kristaps’, and ‘Saule PR’ and two hull-less varieties ‘Irbe’ and ‘Kornelija’. Plants of the varieties were grown in field trials of the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Economics, at two sites (Priekuïi and Stende) during 2014–2017. Varieties ‘Didzis’, ‘Jumara’, and ‘Ansis’ yielded significantly above the grand mean in eight environments (5.70 t·ha−1; LSD = 0.476 t·ha−1). ‘Didzis’ showed relatively high dynamic yield stability and broad adaptability to all environments (bi = 0.90; b = 1; s2
d = 0.07). Grain yield for varieties ‘Jumara’ and ‘Ansis’ showed specific adaptability to unfavourable environments (bi = 0.48 and 0.55, respectively; bi < 1). Some covered spring barley varieties were considered to be the best in eight environments with stable and high 1000 grain weight (‘Austris’, ‘Idumeja’), test weight (‘Gāte’, ‘Jumara’, ‘Austris’), lodging resistance (‘Austris’, ‘Jumara’, ‘Didzis’), resistance to Pyrenophora teres (‘Didzis’, ‘Saule PR’) and Blumeria graminis (‘Saule PR’, ‘Didzis’). Both hull-less barley varieties ‘Irbe’ and ‘Kornelija’ were distinguished for high crude protein and ß-glucan content.
