Electronic money has received high attention from urban people in Denpasar, Bali. However, the use of electronic money is not yet fully known in relation to what factors influence user interest. This study aims to determine the relationship between factors that influence interest in using electronic money in Denpasar City, Bali Province. Data is obtained from online questionnaires on Google form, involve active users of Go-Pay, OVO, and Dana product. There are four variables observed including the risk perception, ease of use, benefit of use, and promotion. The research was worked with the confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that majority of the users of electronic money are 20-25 years old, are female, have a bachelor's degree, and earn 2-4 million rupiahs. All variables show significant relationship to explains the interest in using electronic money. Interest in using electronic money is higher when the perception of risk is low, expand transactions, increases productivity and is supported by attractive promotion. The research suggests the attempts such as change in people's behavior to steadily use electronic money, regulation of the financial system stability to facility the use of electronic money and promotion are continuously strived so that users understand the risks and advantages of electronic money.

Effect of AMB winding configurations on static and dynamic performances and power consumptions of the AMB-rotor system
Authors: Liu Qing , Wang Li , Zhang Shiping , Li Yuanyuan , Lei Gang 
Published: November 2020

Active magnetic bearings (AMBs) bring extraordinary benefits such as free of contact, elimination of lubrication, active control of rotor position, and a built-in monitoring system. In the design of AMBs, the bearing structure is of significance since it has an important impact on bearing performances. However, the effect of winding configurations of AMBs is still obscure. In this paper, the system-level implications of two radial AMB winding configurations termed the Ortho and the Cross types are investigated, including the bearing characteristics, power consumptions and rotor dynamic behaviors. The simulation results demonstrate that the Cross type contributes to larger load capacity in the direction of gravity. In condition of a heavier gravity load (−200 N), the Cross-type winding configuration saves power consumption with a percentage of 17.2% at steady state (20,000 rpm) and 12.7% considering unbalance mass during the run-up process. However, the rotor vibrations of the Cross type in case of external loads and unbalance mass are larger than the Ortho type. The proposed results of this paper provide some useful information for the AMB winding configuration design.
The association of smoking status with SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospitalisation and mortality from COVID-19: A living rapid evidence review with Bayesian meta-analyses (version 9)
Authors: Simons David , Shahab Lion , Brown Jamie , Perski Olga 
Published: November 2020

AIMS: To estimate the association of smoking status with rates of i) infection, ii) hospitalisation, iii) disease severity, and iv) mortality from SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 disease.

DESIGN: Living rapid review of observational and experimental studies with random-effects hierarchical Bayesian meta-analyses. Published articles and pre-prints were identified via MEDLINE and medRxiv.

SETTING: Community or hospital. No restrictions on location.

PARTICIPANTS: Adults who received a SARS-CoV-2 test or a COVID-19 diagnosis.

MEASUREMENTS: Outcomes were SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospitalisation, disease severity and mortality stratified by smoking status. Study quality was assessed (i.e. ‘good’, ‘fair’ and ‘poor’).

FINDINGS: Version 9 (searches up to 27 October 2020) included 279 studies with 42 ‘good’ and ‘fair’ quality studies included in unadjusted meta-analyses. Seventy-nine studies (28%) reported current, former and never smoking status with the remainder using broader categories. Recorded smoking prevalence among people with COVID-19 was generally lower than national prevalence. Current compared with never smokers were at reduced risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection (RR = 0.69, 95% Credible Interval (CrI) = 0.57-0.83, τ = 0.38). Data for former smokers were inconclusive (RR = 1.02, 95% CrI = 0.93-1.12, τ = 0.18) but favoured there being no important association (5% probability of RR ≥1.1). Former compared with never smokers were at somewhat increased risk of hospitalisation (RR = 1.17, CrI = 1.04-1.36, τ = 0.17), greater disease severity (RR = 1.52, CrI = 1.12-2.06, τ = 0.29) and mortality (RR = 1.39, 95% CrI = 1.16-1.69, τ = 0.23). Data for current smokers on hospitalisation, disease severity and mortality were inconclusive (RR = 1.06, CrI = 0.89-1.27, τ = 0.23; RR = 1.26, CrI = 0.86-1.94, τ = 0.34; RR = 1.05, 95% CrI = 0.71-1.49, τ = 0.45, respectively) but favoured there being no important associations with hospitalisation and mortality (32% and 39% probability of RR ≥1.1, respectively) and a small but important association with disease severity (80% probability of RR ≥1.1).

CONCLUSIONS: Compared with never smokers, current smokers appear to be at reduced risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection while former smokers appear to be at increased risk of hospitalisation, greater disease severity and mortality from COVID-19. However, it is uncertain whether these associations are causal.

Published: November 2020

Early diagnosis of the disease can appreciably improve the survival rate or facilitate effective treatment with different modalities. In the field of disease diagnosis; nanomaterial-based biosensing and bioimaging techniques are lifting hopes for point-of-care cancer diagnosis with ultra-high selectivity and sensitivity. Graphene, including twodimensional (2D) graphene films, three-dimensional (3D) graphene architectures, Graphene dots, and graphene hybrids (GHs) nanostructures have attracted the researcher`s interest in the field of biosensing and bioimaging owing to their properties. Versatile platforms of graphene nanomaterials make it as germane to detect the biomarkers at the early stage of cancer. This review selectively summarizes the recent progress in using graphene-based nanomaterials for detecting lung cancer biomarkers. Explicitly, graphene-electrochemical biosensors, which are classified according to sensing mechanisms and targets (CEA, NSE, hTERT, CYFRA21-1), are thoroughly discussed. Herewith, future scopes and challenges with other matrices, nano-scaffolds have also discoursed in the conclusion and future perspective.

Published: November 2020

A study was conducted at the Madhupur deciduous forest, Tangail from April 2015 to October 2015. It was carried out. Formal and informal questionnaire survey was used to interview the forest staffs and local people of the peripheral villages of Madhupur forest. Habitat destruction due to expansion of agricultural land and illegal logging and firewood collection was the prime threats of primates’ conservation especially Langur endurance. Hunting by ethnic people for using food was another threat for primates’ survival. Diseases and road accident were additional cause of threats. Crop raid was the main factor for human primates’ conflict. Paddy, pineapple and jackfruits were severely damaged by primates as they spoiled more crops than they actually eat. Time and economic loss was due to engagement of people guarding the crop field till harvesting.

Published: November 2020

Background: Malignant neoplastic lesions of the breast are one of the main causes of cancer death among women. In tumor cells the expression status of Estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and c-ERBB2 (HER2/neu) are therapeutically and prognostically important markers affecting the treatment approach, management and prognosis of breast carcinoma.
Objective: To explore the relation of receptor status in recurrent breast cancer to age and time of recurrence. Methods: This study was conducted in National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital (NICRH) and included 81 female patients between 20 to 75 years with recurrent breast cancer. Detection of receptor status of ER +ve/-ve, PR +ve/-ve, Her-2+ve/-ve was based on the immunohistochemistry staining of tissue samples of malignant neoplastic lesions prepared from tissue biopsies of patients with recurrent breast cancer. All the information were recorded through the pre-structured data collection sheet and analyzed.
Results: This study showed that most of the recurrent breast cancer patients were Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) (39.5%) and among them most of them were younger patients. Younger patients with TNBC had increased risk of recurrence. Most of the recurrence occurred within 1-2 years.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the assessment of the expression of these biornarkers in recurrent tumors provides reliable information for the treatment approach of locoregional tumors.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Now-a-days penetrating trauma is increasing because of increased incidence of violence in our society and a large number of these patients present in trauma centers with normal vital signs and negative abdominal examination. Historically operative management was the main approach for penetrating abdominal trauma, but in recent time non operative management is also gaining popularity.
Objective: This study was aimed to observe the scope of non-operative management of penetrating abdominal injury in a tertiary level hospital of Bangladesh.
Methods: 54 patients of penetrating abdominal injury were selected from the casualty department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Data were collected from these patients by a preformed questionnaire and finally the data were analyzed by SPSS 16.
Results: Among the 54 patients only 9 required exploration, where generalized peritonitis was the major cause of operation and the common organ found to be injured was small intestine.
Conclusion: Selective non-operative approach may be considered for patients with penetrating abdominal injury, provided that sufficient man power and expertise are available.

Ewing's sarcoma of fifth metacarpal in women: an unusual presentation
Authors: Mahmud Khaled , Iqbal Abu Khaled Muhammad , Alam Mohammad iftekar , Begum Arjuman Ara 
Published: November 2020

Ewing's sarcoma is the second most common highly malignant primary mesenchymal bone tumor of childhood and adolescence affecting mainly the diaphysis of long and flat bones. This tumor is extraordinarily rare in small bones of the hand and presents as a swelling with atypical radiological features of cystic and lytic lesion with scanty periosteal reaction. Prognosis is greatly influenced by the presence of metastasis at presentation, further emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis. Multimodality treatment using surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy is currently recommended though no consensus exists. We report a case of Ewing's sarcoma of the 5th metacarpal bone in 40 years old lady which was initially missed and so there was delayed onset of treatment.

Authors: Rahman Ayesha , Alam SM Syeed Ul , Shashi Sanjana Sharmin , Hossain AZM Mostaque , Sultana Salma 
Published: November 2020

Background: Acute appendicitis is one of the important causes of emergency surgeries. Diagnosis of acute appendicitis remains to be challenging with up to 30% negative exploration rates. In addition to careful clinical history and physical examination, we still need easily applicable, cheap and effective biomarker. Complete blood count is the primary investigation for any inflammatory condition. Total WBC count and neutrophil percentage are widely used biomarkers to diagnose acute appendicitis. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an emerging biomarker that has been considered to be affected by inflammatory burden. MPV value is also estimated during complete blood count. This study may help to reveal the change of MPV in acute appendicitis.
Study design: This was a prospective observational type of study.
Study setting and period: The study was carried out in the Surgery In-patient Department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka from 15-11-2013 till 15-04-2014.
Materials: A total of 150 patients of both sex aged 15-65 years who got admitted in the surgery department for acute appendicitis were selected. Pediatric patients (aged less than 14years), patients with co morbid illness like ischemic heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, general peritonitis and the patients having lack of necessary investigations were excluded from the study.
Methods: The variables like total WBC count, neutrophil percentage, platelet count and mean platelet volume (MPV) of all 150 selected patients were noted after admission by doing complete blood count and compared with normal value. The appendix samples obtained after surgery were sent for histopathological confirmation and reports were collected.
Results: A total of 150 patients with the mean age of 25.72 (ranging 15-65) years were studied. Among them 93(62%) were male and 57(38%) were female. Mean MPV value was 11.7 ± 0.183 fL (p value 0.02). 122 patients have increased MPV value (81.33%). Among them 113 were eventually diagnosed as acute appendicitis. Negative exploration rate was 14%.Negative exploration was less among MPV raised patients (7.38%). Whereas negative exploration was more among normal MPV patients (21.42%).Total WBC count and neutriphil percentage are important biomarkers to diagnose acute appendicitis which is accepted. However this study revealed MPV value is an important biomarker in acute appendicitis also which is statistically significant and can reduce negative exploration.
Conclusion: In this study mean platelet volume increases in acute appendicitis. MPV can be used as a biomarker in diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

Authors: Mahmud Nasir Uddin , Alam ABM Khurshid , Chawdhury Mohammad Altaf Hossain , Khair Mohammad Abul 
Published: November 2020

Background : Pilonidal sinus was first described by Dr. A.W. Anderson in 1847 and is often seen in the intergluteal region. It is a disease of mainly younger male and rarely affects after 40. Main causes for the formation of this sinus are hirsutism, sweating in the area, repeated maceration due to trauma, leading to breakage of the skin barrier, attracting hair inside which initiates a foreign body reaction leading to infection with abscess or sinus formation. Most common embarrassing situation is discharging sinus. The diagnosis is mainly on clinical ground. Though there are a lot of modalities of treatment but recurrence is still a challenge. We have adopted Limberg flap technique since 2012 with a least recurrent chance.
Objectives : To prove that this procedure will be end up with lower morbidity & least chance of recurrence
Methods : This prospective study was done jointly by the Department of Surgery of Central Medical College and Comilla Medical College Hospital. In this series 50 patients were selected from July 2012 to June 2017.
Results : Out of 50 patients operated by Limberg flap technique 42(84%) were males and 8(16%) were females. Mean age was 27.3 years (range 18–37years). Of them,12(24%) were driver, 6(12%) police, 6(12%) teacher, 6(12%) student, 5(10%) worker, 4(8%) millitary army, 4(8%) housewife, 4 (8%)service holder, 2(4%) computer operator, 1(2%) doctor and 1(2%) were barber. In our study most common mode of presentation were chronic discharging sinuses 15(30%), beside this 12(24%) had multiple sinuses, 10(20%) had multiple pits,7(14%) had acute abscess and 6(12%) had unpleasant smell. Associated hirsutism were present in 30(60%) and absent in 20(40%) patients. One (2%) male patient had wound gap & discharge and six(12%) patients had flap edema. We have found no recurrence in follow up period.
Conclusion : Pilonidal sinus is a notoriously recurrent disease, so treatment by this flap technique is the only hope of cure with lower morbidity.
