Pilihanraya Kecil Kimanis: Isu Lokal, Jentera Kempen dan Aura Barisan Nasional
Authors: Ahmad Syahruddin Awang , Damit Saat Ag. , Karim Haryati 
Published: October 2020

Penolakan Mahkamah Pilihan Raya terhadap rayuan oleh penyandang kerusi P176 bagi petisyen untuk mencabar kemenangan penyandang berkenaan telah menyebabkan Pilihanraya Kecil (PRK) diadakan di kawasan tersebut. Terdapat seramai 29, 618 pengundi berdaftar yang terdiri daripada 66.54% bumiputera Islam (19,708), 29.93% bumiputera bukan Islam (8,865), 3.19% (945) dan lain-lain 0.34% (100). Demografik pengundi ini hakikatnya dapat menjelaskan sebab mengapa kemenangan parti BN sebelum ini dalam PRU14 adalah tipis dan dalam PRK Kimanis juga, angka majoriti kemenangan BN juga tidak begitu besar berbanding peratusan keluar mengundi dalam PRU14 yang lalu. Terdapat kemungkinan pengundi-pengundi wujud situasi groupthink dan kesan bandwagon dalam kalangan pengundi yang meyakini bahawa kerajaan Warisan boleh menang dengan mudah dan dengan sebab itu ramai pengundi luar kawasan yang tidak balik mengundi pada 18hb Januari 2020 kerana isu lokal tidak begitu memberi kesan kepada pengundian kelak. Rumusan oleh informan kajian yang ditanya menerusi temuramah bersemuka selepas keputusan diumumkan pada malam penjumlahan undi menggariskan tiga sebab yang boleh dipertanggungjawabkan atas kekalahan Parti Warisan iaitu, 1). isu Pas Sementara Sabah (PSS) yang sukar ditangani dengan betul oleh pihak kerajaan, 2). jentera kempen Parti Warisan yang agak kelam kabut, dan; 3). sebilangan besar pengundi-pengundi Parti Warisan tidak keluar mengundi atas sebab tertentu.

Published: October 2020

Leucorrhoea is one of the commonest complaints among women of reproductive age group. An increase in the normal vaginal secretion develops physiologically at puberty, at ovulation, premenstrual phase and during pregnancy. Excessive discharge causes irritation and itching in the genitalia. Ayurveda explains this condition as Shwetha pradara. Though it is not a separate disease, clinically it has great relevance. This paper is an attempt to outline the details of Shwetha pradara as described in the classics and to illustrate its clinical presentation in 50 patients as an observational study.

Authors: B Nangare Ninad , M Deshpande Manasi , A Kurulkar Manisha 
Published: October 2020

Morat is considered as a significant medicinal plant in the indigenous system of medicine [Ayurveda] as it has wide application as single drug. It is very effective in various Urinary disorders. It has been observed that several species of plants which are referred under one common name, making them more controversial. Documentation defects in manuscripts, same synonym but different plants, geographic variations are some of the reasons attributed to it. Due to different languages and morphological similarities between plants generates controversy. In India, there are many plants which use a common name Morat and creates controversy. Under the name of Morat, botanical identity such as Leea macrophylla Roxb., Saccharum officinarum L., Alangium salvifolium (L.f.)Wang. Marsdenia tenacissima Wight. & Arn., Maerua arenaria Hook, Chonemorpha fragrans Moon are considered as they exhibit same medicinal properties. The purpose of this work is to review and differentiate the plants which are known as Morat in Ayurved classical texts.
DETERMINANTS OF WORKING CAPITAL “EVIDENCE FROM PRODUCTION AND SERVICE SECTOR OF PAKISTAN”
Authors: Safia Fazal 
Published: October 2020

Purpose: Basic purpose of this study is to explore the factors or determinants of working capital. The effect of this research is threefold as its first aim is to explore the determinants of working capital in the service sector, second is to find the determinant of working capital in the production sector and third is to make a comparison between the findings of both sectors.
Research Methodology: Quantitative technique of data collection has been used under explanatory research method and working capital has been taken as dependent variable while return on assets, return on equity, leverage, sales growth, firm size of total assets and firm size of total sales have been taken as independent variables from production and services sector of Pakistan. A sample of 34 companies listed at KSE for 5 years (2007-2011) has been selected with a total observation of 170. Datawerecollectedfrombalancesheetsofthese companies fromofficialsiteofStateBankof Pakistan.
Findings: The finding of this research shows that the same selected variables are not a significant predictor of working capital in both sectors. In the service sector, all selected variables are significant predictor or working capital except for short term debt to total assets variable. However, in the production sector, only sales growth and return on assets is a significant predictor of working capital requirement.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: In a developing country like in Pakistan, very little work has been done on working capital determinants. In developed countries and other developing countries, enough work has been done in that area, however, not previously study covers the comparison of the diverse sectors to determine working capital. This study will add a new dimension to the existing literature and cover the gaps in existing literature byaddingthe comparisonofdiverse nature sectors into the existing literature.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:
Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are used as a bridge to surgery for colon cancer patients as an alternative to emergency surgery. Currently, there is a paucity of literature from Saudi Arabia on the preoperative usage of SEMS.

OBJECTIVE:
Determine whether SEMS are associated with a higher rate of complications.

DESIGN:
Retrospective cohort study

SETTINGS:
Tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
In patients diagnosed with obstructing colon cancer, up-front surgical resection was compared with insertion of SEMS followed by surgical resection between the years 2009 and 2013.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Rate of stent-related short-term complications. Secondary endpoint, postoperative complications.

SAMPLE SIZE:
65.

RESULTS:

Twenty-four (36.9%) patients underwent SEMS placement; 41 (63.1%) underwent primary surgery. The median (interquartile range) hospital stay was significantly higher among the SEMS group (13 [8.5] days versus 7 [3] days in the primary surgery group,
P
<.001). Five patients (20.8%) in the SEMS group developed complications: 2 (8.3%) perforations, 2 (8.3%) obstructions, and 1 (4.2%) stent migrations.

CONCLUSION:
SEMS is associated with longer hospital stays and short-term serious complications. Further research should be conducted, preferably with a larger sample size.

LIMITATIONS:
Retrospective design, small sample size.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
None.
Aprendizaje colaborativo como estrategia didáctica para promover la práctica oral del inglés en horarios extra-escolar usando Google Hangouts
Authors: Peña López Ronier Eliézer 
Published: October 2020

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la incidencia del aprendizaje colaborativo para promover la practica oral del inglés en horarios extra –escolar en los estudiantes de III año de la carrera de Ingles durante el II semestre 2017: Google Hangouts como aplicación tecnológica. Este estudio se posiciona en el paradigma sociocrítico, de enfoque mixto, es de carácter descriptivo y corte transversal. La muestra fue de 38 informantes, 4 docentes y 34 estudiantes. Se utilizó la encuesta y la entrevista como instrumentos de recolección de información validados a través de un pilotaje y juicio de expertos, respectivamente. Los datos se analizaron mediante el programa SPSS versión 21 en la fase cuantitativa, y en la fase cualitativa, a través de matrices de categorías principales, luego se realizó una triangulación de la información obtenida.
Como principales resultados se encontró que la mayoría de los estudiantes están familiarizados con el uso de Google Hangouts, y motivados a la práctica del inglés a través de esta herramienta, así como de la participación en actividades de aprendizaje colaborativo, lo que contribuyó a mejorar otras sub-habilidades del inglés que fomentan el desarrollo de la competencia oral. Por otro lado, los docentes sí aplican actividades orientadas a la práctica del inglés a través de los recursos TIC, pero estas no están directamente enfocadas en desarrollar la práctica oral del idioma.
En conclusión, el estudio arrojó que tuvo un impacto positivo tanto en el aspecto motivacional de los alumnos, así como en sus competencias y habilidades comunicativas del idioma inglés.

Noodweerexces: in het Belgisch strafrecht aanwezig in alles behalve naam?
Het Belgische strafrecht kent de figuur van noodweerexces niet. Deze problematiek wordt via andere instrumenten geregeld, in het bijzonder de onweerstaanbare dwang, de uitlokking en de verzachtende omstandigheden. Op die manier wordt een tweesporenbeleid gevolgd, waarbij de strafrechtelijke reactie afhankelijk is van de emotionele impact van de noodweersituatie op de betrokkene. In het kader van de mogelijke invoering van een nieuw Strafwetboek in België wordt wel voorzien in een bepaling inzake noodweerexces. Het gevoerde tweesporenbeleid blijft daarbij evenwel behouden.

Het pleitbaar standpunt als bijzondere strafuitsluitingsgrond?
In 2017 heeft de strafkamer van de Hoge Raad het zogeheten ‘pleitbaar standpunt’ uit het fiscale boeterecht een plaats gegeven in de strafrechtelijke doctrine, door aan te geven op welke wijze een dergelijk verweer in het kader van de vragen ingevolge artikel 348/350 Sv dient te worden aangemerkt. In deze bijdrage wordt de meest recente jurisprudentie omtrent het pleitbaar standpunt binnen het leerstuk van opzet in het strafrecht toegelicht en wordt bezien in hoeverre het pleitbaar standpunt kan worden aangemerkt als een erkende strafuitsluitingsgrond dan wel of er argumenten bestaan om een bijzondere strafuitsluitingsgrond aanwezig te achten.
THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT TORQUE SETTINGS ON THE AMOUNT OF APICALLY EXTRUDED DEBRIS DURING ROTARY INSTRUMENTATION
Authors: ALTUNBAŞ Demet , TOYOĞLU Mustafa 
Published: October 2020

Objectives: This in vitro study was designed to evaluate the effect of low- and high-torque settings on the amount of apically extruded debris during canal preparation with the ProTaper Universal (PTU) system.
Materials and Methods: Forty extracted mandibular premolars were selected and randomly divided into two groups (n = 20). Each root canal was prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using SX, S1, S2, F1, F2, and F3 at low-torque settings and high-torque settings. The apically extruded debris was collected into preweighed Eppendorf tubes. The weight of extruded debris was determined, and data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test at a significance level of p0.05). The PTU system produced the higher mean extrusion value at high-torque settings.
Conclusions: Under the conditions of this study, as no difference among the different torque settings in terms of the amount of extruded debris were noted, it is possible to suggest that clinicians should choose the most appropriate settings for each case in clinical practice.
Mobitz Type II Atrioventricular Heart Block After Candlenut Ingestion
Authors: Koons Andrew L. , Laubach Lexis T. , Katz Kenneth D. , Beauchamp Gillian A. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
The candlenut is a highly accessible seed marketed as a natural weight-loss supplement. However, there is little known about the exact mechanism of action for weight loss nor for the many adverse symptoms it causes, such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, cardiac dysrhythmias, and even death. In this case report, the authors present a 44-year-old woman who developed a second-degree, Mobitz type II atrioventricular block after consumption of a candlenut supplement. She presented to the emergency department with syncope and her cardiac rhythm indicated a second-degree heart block soon after ingesting candlenuts recommended by her treating physician. Interestingly, a detectable digoxin concentration obtained on hospital day 2 was measured but of unclear significance given no obvious exposure to a cardioactive glycoside. The patient's rhythm normalized on hospital day 2 and she was discharged uneventfully.

A new funding model for open-access monographs
Authors: Eve Martin , Pinter Frances 
Published: October 2020

We outline the work of a university press, with assistance from the COPIM Project (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs), in building an innovative revenue model to fund open access monographs at a traditional publisher. Building on library journal subscription models (eg: OLH) and on Knowledge Unlatched's approach to monograph funding, we present a sustainable OA publishing model that gives members exclusive access to a backlist, with the revenue then used to make the frontlist openly accessible. The model can be emulated by other scholarly presses who wish to take advantage of the opportunities that open access publishing affords.
Supporting information:
Led by Dr Frances Pinter (Publishing Advisor, & founder of Knowledge Unlatched) and Professor Martin Paul Eve (OLH, Birkbeck & COPIM) the case study explores an innovative revenue model that will transition new titles at a well-known publisher to a viable open-access model. COPIM is an international partnership of researchers, universities, librarians, publishers and infrastructure providers working on bringing about a new OA publishing ecosystem. Their remit is to build a revenue infrastructure, and examine production workflows and metadata, experimental publishing and archiving. The project is working with colleagues across the sector to document existing and potential ways of funding open-access monographs and is consulting with academics, publishers, libraries, funders, and policy makers.
The publisher case study aims to initiate and document a ‘working model’ as the next step in creating a practical toolkit and roadmap for other publishers.
Meta-Heuristic Solutions to a Student Grouping Optimization Problem faced in Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Patrick Kenekayoro , Fawei Biralatei 
Published: October 2020

Combinatorial problems which have been proven to be NP-hard are faced in Higher Education Institutions and researches have extensively investigated some of the well-known combinatorial problems such as the timetabling and student project allocation problems. However, NP-hard problems faced in Higher Education Institutions are not only confined to these categories of combinatorial problems. The majority of NP-hard problems faced in institutions involve grouping students and/or resources, albeit with each problem having its own unique set of constraints. Thus, it can be argued that techniques to solve NP-hard problems in Higher Education Institutions can be transferred across the different problem categories. As no method is guaranteed tooutperform all others in all problems, it is necessary to investigate heuristic techniques for solving lesser-known problems in order to guide stakeholders or software developers to the most appropriate algorithm for each unique class of NP-hard problems faced in Higher Education Institutions. To this end, this study described an optimization problem faced in a real university that involved grouping students for the presentation of semester results. Ordering based heuristics, genetic algorithm and the ant colony optimization algorithm implemented in Python programming language were used to find feasible solutions to this problem, with the ant colony optimization algorithm performing better or equal in 75% of the test instances and the genetic algorithm producing better or equal results in 38% of the test instances.

Published: October 2020

AbstractThe power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of the solar cells containing metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have rapidly increased and exceeded 25% during the past decade. The photovoltaic properties of these devices are extensively investigated in terms of their microstructures, environmental characteristics, and carrier dynamics, and the MHP structural evolution under high pressure is evaluated. In addition, the energy level structure, electron/hole dynamics, and optical/electronic properties of MHPs with anisotropic crystal structures are examined. However, the correlation between the structural anisotropy and material properties of these perovskites is rarely considered in the literature studies on their high‐pressure behavior. In this progress report, the optical/electronic properties of MHPs with anisotropic structures under thermal, mechanically imposed, and in‐service strains/stresses that have been previously neglected by researchers are summarized.
Tumor Microenvironment‐Activatable Nanoenzymes for Mechanical Remodeling of Extracellular Matrix and Enhanced Tumor Chemotherapy
Authors: Zhong Yinan , Zhang Jianguang , Zhang Junmei , Hou Yong , Chen Enping , Huang Dechun , Chen Wei , Haag Rainer 
Published: October 2020

AbstractIncreased tissue stiffness is a hallmark of cancer and promotes tumor progression. It is hypothesized that decreased tumorous stress may aid or sensitize chemotherapies. To overcome extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffening and fulfill sensitized chemotherapy in one nanosystem, a reactive oxygen species‐activatable nanoenzyme (SP‐NE) based on a dendritic polyglycerol scaffold, integrating collagenase and paclitaxel (PTX) prodrug, is constructed. The dense and tough ECM is highly remitted by SP‐NE in the tumor microenvironment (TME) mimicking gelatin hydrogel models, which causes cell shrinkage, disorders cytoskeletal constructions, and subsequently enhances chemotherapeutic efficacy. ECM softening via SP‐NE downregulates mechanotransduction signaling pathways of integrin‐focal adhesion kinase (FAK)‐Ras homolog family member A (RhoA) implicated in cytoskeletal assembly, and integrin‐FAK‐phosphorylated extracellular signal regulated kinase (pERK 1/2) mediating mitosis. Notably, this programmed nanosystem in human breast MCF‐7 tumor‐bearing mice models displays a significant relief of ECM stress from 4300 to 1200 Pa and results in 87.1% suppression of tumor growth at a low PTX dosage of 3 mg kg−1. The attenuated expression of the key players RhoA and pERK 1/2 involved in cellular mechano‐sensing is further verified in vivo. This study thus provides a new and potential nanoplatform to selectively decrease TME stiffness for enhanced chemotherapy.
