Abstract
Background: Fecal examinations in pet cats and dogs are key components of routine veterinary practice; however, the accuracy is influenced by diagnostic methodologies and the experience level of personnel performing the tests. The VETSCAN IMAGYST system was developed to provide simpler and easier fecal examinations which are less influenced by examiners’ skills. This system consists of three components: a sample preparation device, an automated microscopic scanner, and an analysis software. The objectives of this study were to qualitatively evaluate the performance of the VETSCAN IMAGYST system on feline parasites (Ancylostoma and Toxocara cati) and protozoan parasites (Cystoisospora and Giardia) and to assess and compare the performance of the VETSCAN IMAGYST centrifugal flotation method to reference centrifugal and passive flotation methods.Methods: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the scanning and algorithmic components of the VETSCAN IMAGYST system, fecal slides were prepared by the VETSCAN IMAGYST centrifugal flotation technique with pre-screened fecal samples collected from dogs and cats and examined by both an algorithm and parasitologist. To assess the performance of the VETSCAN IMAGYST centrifugal flotation technique, diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were calculated and compared to conventional flotation techniques.Results: The performance of the VETSCAN IMAGYST algorithm closely correlated with evaluations by parasitologists, with sensitivity of 75.8-100% and specificity of 93.1-100% across the targeted parasites. For samples with 50 eggs or less per slide, Lin’s concordance correlation coefficients (ρc) ranged from 0.70 to 0.95 across the targeted parasites. The VETSCAN IMAGYST centrifugal flotation method correlated well with the conventional centrifugal flotation method across the targeted parasites: sensitivity of 65.7-100% and specificity of 97.6-100%. Similar results were observed for the conventional passive flotation method compared to the conventional centrifugal flotation method; sensitivity of 56.4-91.7% and specificity of 99.4-100%.Conclusions: The VETSCAN IMAGYST scanning and algorithmic systems with the VETSCAN IMAGYST fecal preparation technique demonstrated a similar qualitative performance to the results of parasitologists’ examinations with conventional fecal flotation techniques. Given the deep learning nature of the VETSCAN IMAGYST system, its performance is expected to improve over time, enabling it to be utilized in veterinary clinics to perform fecal examinations accurately and efficiently.

Abstract
Magnetotelluric (MT) data processing can increase the reliability of measured data. Traditional MT de-noising methods are usually filtered in entire MT time-series sequence, which result in losing of useful MT signals and the decrease of imaging accuracy of electromagnetic inversion. However, targeted MT noise separation can retain the part of data not affected by strong noise, and enhance the quality of MT data. Thus, we proposed a novel method for MT noise separation, which using refined composite multiscale dispersion entropy (RCMDE) and orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP). Firstly, the RCMDE characteristic parameters are extracted from each segment of the MT time-series. Then, the characteristic parameters are input to the fuzzy c-mean (FCM) clustering for automatic identification of MT signal and noise. Next, OMP method is utilized to remove the identified noise segments independently. Finally, the reconstructed signal consists of the denoised data segments and the identified useful signal segments. We conducted the simulation experiments and algorithm evaluation on the EMTF data, simulated data and measured sites. The results indicate that the RCMDE can improve the stability of multiscale dispersion entropy (MDE) and multiscale entropy (MSE) by analyzing the characteristics of the signal samples library, effectively dividing MT signals and noise. Compared with the existing techniques of the entire time domain de-noising and signal-noise identification, the proposed method used RCMDE and OMP as characteristic parameter and noise separation, simplified the multi-features fusion, and improved the accuracy of signal-noise identification. Moreover, the de-noising efficiency has accelerated, and the MT data quality of low-frequency band has improved greatly.

Authors: Li Qingjiao , Yuan Xiaolu 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
BackgroundDesmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) was a rare and aggressive malignant tumor mostly occurring in the abdominal and pelvic cavity of young patients. However, few cases had been reported concerning DSRCT located in the head and neck region. Case presentationA 25-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to the enlargement of the right submandibular mass. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 3 cm×2 cm solid nodule located in the right submandibular, and physical examination showed no other occupying lesion elsewhere. Histologically, the tumor was composed of various-sized small round cell nests, embedded in an abundant desmoplastic stroma. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were typically positive for epithelial (CK and EMA), mesenchymal (Vimentin and Desmin), and neuroendocrine marker (CD56, NSE, Syn and CgA), but negative for WT-1. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) revealed the presence of a break-apart involving Ewing sarcoma region 1 (EWSR1) gene. This tumor was finally diagnosed as DSRCT in the right submandibular gland. The patient received chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and showed recurrence after 17 months of follow-up.ConclusionsDSRCT of the submandibular gland is rare, the diagnosis of this tumor in uncommon location relies on the histomorphology, immunophenotype and EWSR1 gene detection. Differential diagnosis including primary salivary gland tumors and the other small round cell tumors needs to be excluded.

Abstract
In recent years, chaotic encryption has been applied in the field of cryptography by virtue of its unique characteristics, and it has received more and more attention in the security of RFID data transmission. Using the same key for encryption and decryption operations is a lightweight encryption algorithm. However, there are various problems in the application process of chaotic encryption: (1) nonlinear dynamic characteristics degradation and short-cycle cycle problems will occur under the influence of computer limited accuracy; (2) numerical conversion operations are required during application, to a certain extent It will affect the randomness of the iterative sequence; (3) During the iterative process, the iterative sequence cannot be spread over the entire value interval, and the randomness is poor. This paper proposes an improved segmented Logistic mapping encryption algorithm, uses the m-sequence to perturb initial value and sets a fixed step to change the control parameter value to generate a chaotic key stream sequence, and applies it to the RFID system data transmission security mechanism to encrypt the data. Experimental simulation and performance analysis show that the iterated chaotic sequence has good random distribution characteristics, unpredictability and traversability. Compared to the previous improvement, the key space is increased to reach the size of 1024 space and can meet the security needs, which improve RFID data security and can effectively avoid various security problems.

Abstract
Background Internally displaced persons (IDPs) forced to flee from their homes due to conflict and drought are at particular risk of morbidity and mortality due to diarrhoeal diseases. Regular handwashing with soap could substantially reduce the risk of these infections, but the behaviour is challenging to practice while living in resource-poor, informal settlements. To mitigate these challenges, humanitarian aid organisations distribute hygiene kits including soap and handwashing infrastructure. Our study aimed to assess the effect of modified hygiene kits on handwashing behaviours among IDPs in Moyale, Ethiopia. Methods The pilot study evaluated three interventions separately; liquid soap, a ‘good quality’ scented bar soap and a mirror as modifications to a standard hygiene kit. The hygiene kit was distributed to four study arms, with three of the arms receiving one of the interventions in addition. Three to six weeks after distribution, behaviour change and perceptions of the interventions was assessed through structured observations, surveys and focus group discussions. Results At follow-up, handwashing with soap was rare at key times in all study arms. In the arm that received liquid soap, handwashing with soap was seen at 20% of key times but this was not indicated significantly different to the control arm were a prevalence of 17% (p-value=0.348). In the two other intervention arms prevalence was <11%. Participants in FGDs indicated that the liquid soap, scented bar soap and the mirror made handwashing more desirable. In contrast the standard bar soap distributed in hygiene kits was not viewed as being nice to use. Conclusion This study did not identify any effect of the modified kits on handwashing behaviour. However, it did indicate that there is value in better understanding hygiene product preferences as this may contribute to increased acceptability and use among crisis-affected populations. The challenges of doing research in conflict-affected regions had considerable implications on the design and implementation of this study.Trial registration The trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov 6 September 2019 (reg no: NCT04078633)

Kırgızların 840 yılında Orhon Uygur Kağanlığının başkenti Karabalgasun’u ele geçirmesiyle Uygurların büyük bir kısmı batıya, Tanrı Dağları’nın kuzey ve güney eteklerine, Tarım havzasına, kalanlarıysa güneye, Çin’in kuzeyine dağılmıştır. Tarım havzasına göç eden Uygurlar burada tekrar örgütlenerek Uygur İdikut Hanlığını kurmuş ve bu devlet XIV. yüzyıla kadar varlığını devam ettirmiştir.
Uygurlar bu beş asırlık dönemde çok köklü bir medeniyet inşa etmiş tıptan mühendisliğe, müzikten edebiyata her türlü bilim ve sanat kolunun Asya’daki en önemli temsilcilerinden biri olmuştur. Büyük çoğunluğu inanç olarak Budizm’in Mahayana mezhebine bağlı olan Uygurlar, Budizm kültür dairesi içinde bir edebiyat meydana getirmiş ve bu dönemde pek çok çeviri ve uyarlama eser Eski Uygurcaya kazandırılmıştır.
Bu eserlerin yanı sıra Uygurlardan günümüze hukuk belgeleri ve sözleşmeler kalmıştır. Belgelerde tarihlendirme on iki hayvanlı Türk takvimine göre yapılmıştır. Araştırmacılar belgeler üzerinde yaptıkları çalışmalarla tarih aralığını Çin’deki Moğol asıllı Yüan Hanedanlığı dönemiyle sınırlandırmıştır. Bu çalışmada Uygur hukuk belgelerinin altı tanesinde tanıklanan onluk ve yüzlük sözcükleri ve diğer dillik ölçütler üzerinden söz konusu belgelerin tarih tespitinin yapılması amaçlanmaktadır.

Anadolu’nun geçmişinde köklü bir oyun geleneği yatmaktadır. Çok daha eskilere gidilirse bu oyunların mitik ve ayinsel yönlerinin olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu oyunlar zamanla toplumu bir arada tutan onların iyi vakit geçirmelerini sağlayan, eğlendiren seyirlik oyunlara dönüşmüştür. Bu çalışmada Anadolu’nun pek çok yöresinde devecilik kültürünün izlerini taşıyan ‚deve oyunları‛ örneklendirilecektir.
Anadolu’nun toprağa ve hayvancılığa bağlı yaşam tarzı toplumun kültürel kimliğinde, hafızasında belirgin olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu etki hayatın hemen her alanına yaşam tarzıyla, söz varlığıyla sirayet etmektedir. Gündelik hayattan, geleneklere, sözlü kültür ürünlerine kadar bu etkiyi tespit etmek mümkündür. Deve oyunları da sözlü kültür ürünleri arasında yaşayan, geleneksel oyunlar arasındadır. Devecilik kültürüne dair yapılan saha çalışmalarında geçmişte develerin hayatın pek çok alanında yer aldığı zamanla sayılarının azaldığı, gündelik hayat içindeki işlevlerinin güreşlere doğru evrildiği bu sayede deveciliğin zamanla eğlence odaklı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Anadolu’nun pek çok bölgesinde özellikle kış aylarında, bayram günlerinde, düğünlerde pek çok köy seyirlik oyunu özellikle hayvan benzetmecesine dayalı deve oyunları oynanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada dikkat çekici olan durum deve oyunlarının deveciliğin azalmaya başladığı yörelerde oyunlar yoluyla toplumun hafızasında sürdürüldüğü yönündeki tezdir.

Published: January 2021

Introduction. Sport motivation is generally considered in educational research, while its psychological foundations remain understudied. This study examines the impact of children’s sociometric status, anxiety level, and family background, including parental attitudes, on their motivation for participating in artistic gymnastics.
Methods. The study sample comprised 95 preschool-aged and early school-aged children participating in artistic gymnastics for more than a year. In order to identify the psychological and socio-psychological characteristics of children’s motivation, the following measurement tools were used in this study: (a) the Parental Attitudes Questionnaire (A. Ya. Varga, V. V. Stolin), (b) the Choose the Right Face test for the assessment of anxiety (R. Tamml, M. Dorky, V. Amen), (c) the Children’s Manifest Anxiety Scale, CMAS (modified by A. M. Prikhozhan), (d) the measure for assessing the level of students’ sport motivation by N. G. Luskanova (modified by O. N. Stepanova & A. N. Volkova), (e) sociometry, and (f) statistical data processing.
Results. The findings indicated that there are significant differences in characteristics of children with different levels of motivation. Depending on the parenting style, children with a high level of sport motivation had average or high levels of anxiety and high or low sociometric status in their training groups. Parental attitudes towards these children are characterized by a high level of acceptance and cooperation, which manifest itself in a positive attention to their interests, respect, and encouragement of independence and initiative.
Discussion. The results of this study contribute to our understanding of psychological conditions for optimizing children’s sport motivation, open up opportunities for further research on the socio-psychological factors for children’s sports motivation, and may be readily used in training programs to improve the psychological competence of sports coaches.

Background
Family-based behavioral therapy is an efficacious approach to deliver weight management counseling to children and their parents. However, most families do not have access to in-person, evidence-based treatment. We previously developed and tested DRIVE (Developing Relationships that Include Values of Eating and Exercise), a home-based parent training program to maintain body weight among children at risk for obesity, with the intent to eventually disseminate it nationally alongside SafeCare, a parent support program that focuses on parent-child interactions. Currently the DRIVE program has only been tested independently of SafeCare. This study created the “mHealth DRIVE” program by further adapting DRIVE to incorporate digital and mobile health tools, including remotely delivered sessions, a wireless scale that enabled a child-tailored weight graph, and a pedometer. Telehealth delivery via mHealth platforms and other digital tools can improve program cost-effectiveness, deliver long-term care, and directly support both families and care providers.

Objective
The objective of this study was to examine preliminary acceptability and effectiveness of the mHealth DRIVE program among children and parents who received it and among SafeCare providers who potentially could deliver it.

Methods
Study 1 was a 13-week pilot study of a remotely delivered mHealth family-based weight management program. Satisfaction surveys were administered, and height and weight were measured pre- and post-study. Study 2 was a feasibility/acceptability survey administered to SafeCare providers.

Results
Parental and child satisfaction (mean of 4.9/6.0 and 3.8/5.0, respectively) were high, and children’s (N=10) BMI z-scores significantly decreased (mean –0.14, SD 0.17; P=.025). Over 90% of SafeCare providers (N=74) indicated that SafeCare families would benefit from learning how to eat healthily and be more active, and 80% of providers reported that they and the families would benefit from digital tools to support child weight management.

Conclusions
Pediatric mHealth weight management interventions show promise for effectiveness and acceptability by families and providers.

Dengan perkembangan teknologi informasi yang sangat pesat pada zaman ini membutuhkan penyesuaian yang tepat dalam pemanfaatan teknologi informasi tersebut. Pemanfaatan teknologi informasi sudah mencakup kesegala bidang kehidupan termasuk organisasi maupun industri digital. Didalam sebuah organisasi atau industri digital pasti akan memerlukan suatu aplikasi maupun sistem informasi. Didalam membuat sebuah sistem informasi maka diperlukanlah suatu metode pengembangan perangkat lunak. Metode pengembangan perangkat lunak berbagai macam jenisnya, salah satunya yang sering dipakai adalah metode SDCL Waterfall. SDCL Waterfall pada prinsipnya mengikuti tahapan – tahapan yang terorganisir dan sistematis. Metode Waterfall sangat menekankan kepada requirement yang jelas pada suatu perangkat lunak yang akan di kembangkan. Maka daripada itu sering terjadinya masalah ketika suatu perangkat lunak yang akan dikembangkan tetapi kebutuhan awal belum begitu jelas dan kemungkinan untuk perubahan pada saat development besar kemungkinannya. Seiiring berkembangnya teknologi, maka metode pengembangan perangkat lunakpun mengalami perkembangan, maka muncullah sebuah metode baru yaitu metode scrum.
