Analysis for transmission of dengue disease with different class of human population
Authors: Dwivedi Ananya , Keval Ram 
Published: May 2021

Abstract

Objectives: Vector-borne diseases speedily infest the human population. The control techniques must be applied to such ailment and work swiftly. We proposed a compartmental model of dengue disease by incorporating the standard incidence relation between susceptible vectors and infected humans to see the effect of manageable parameters of the model on the basic reproduction number.

Methods: We compute the basic reproduction number by using the next -generation matrix method to study the local and global stability of disease free and endemic equilibrium points along with sensitivity analysis of the model.

Results: Numerical results are explored the global behaviourism of disease-free/endemic state for a choice of arbitrary initial conditions. Also, the biting rate of vector population has more influence on the basic reproduction number as compared the other parameters.

Conclusion: In this paper, shows that controlling the route of transmission of this disease is very important if we plan to restrict the transmission potential.
Algebraic approach to univariate polynomial derivation

Published: May 2021

Abstract
Starting from n roots of a univariate polynomial of n-th degree, combining the first, the
second, and up to the n-th class, new polynomials are generated. Each class of polynomials obtained in such a way is fully determined by its roots. The arithmetic means of corresponding coefficients are proportional
to the values of the coefficients obtained by the derivation of the initial univariate polynomial. This gives
the basis for the algebraic approach to the polynomial derivation.
Adaptive level set method applied to drag minimization problems constrained by Stokes equations
Authors: Duan Xianbao , Li Yichen , Tan Hongxia , Li Yangyang 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
We present a level set based adaptive mesh method for solving the drag minimization problem of incompressible flow governed by Stokes equations. Shape sensitivity analysis of the cost functional is derived. During the optimization process, two levels of meshes are adopted. A uniform coarse mesh for evolving the level set function is defined over the whole computational domain. The level set function also serves as the refinement indicator with an easy strategy. The coarse mesh that contains the interfaces then further divided into a uniform fine mesh and the computation is mainly near the interfaces. Therefore, the computational cost is significantly reduced compared with the uniform mesh over the whole domain that achieves the same resolution. Above all, the value of the shape derivative on the boundary can be obtained implicitly, which is a very difficult task in classical optimal shape design problems. The overall optimization procedure is presented and verified with benchmark examples.

Abstract

Objective
The retrospective investigation was carried out to assess whether subjects who fulfilled our proposed recruitment criteria responded more favorably to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) than those who did not.

Methods
We retrospectively analyzed 109 skeletally mature subjects (78 men and 31 women) according to the following proposed criteria of recruitment: (1) pre-injury Tegner activity score ≥7 and a wish to return to a professional sports activity, (2) residual knee instability following injury and/or (3) age <20 years at the operation. The primary outcome was an improvement between assessment A (before operation) and B (mean follow-up of 1.6 years) in the average score for four of the five Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales, covering pain, symptoms, difficulty in sports and recreational activities, and quality of life (KOOS4).

Results
The proposed recruitment criteria for ACLR were met by 58 subjects (53%). There were 49 subjects (45%) who improved between assessment A and B. Subjects who met proposed recruitment criteria were more likely to improve clinically after ACLR (OR 5.7, 95% CI 2.5–13.3).

Conclusions
Fulfillment of proposed recruitment criteria was a strong predictive factor for outcome improvement in short- to medium-term follow-up after ACLR.

Introduction. Metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, McKusick type (MCD) (OMIM: #250250) (cartilage-hair hypoplasia) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder with main clinical manifestations including disproportionate short stature, hair thinning and hypotrichosis. Some patients with MCD develop cellular and humoral immunodeficiency, bronchiectases and Hirschsprung disease. Such patients have an increased risk of developing malignant tumors and hypoplastic anemia. MCD is one of the rare monogenic disorders caused by mutations in the RMRP gene encoding a non-coding RNA instead of a protein. So far, 123 pathogenic RMRP variants have been described. The evidence of clinical genetic correlations in patients with different types and localization of gene mutations will facilitate further understanding of pathogenetic mechanisms of the disorder and enable to predict the spectrum and severity of clinical symptoms in individual patients.Materials and methods. We present the first description of clinical genetic characteristics of two Russian patients with MCD caused by mutations in the RMRP gene, along with the comparison of our results with literature data. In both cases the diagnosis was confirmed by analyzing the RMRP gene sequence using the direct Sanger sequencing technique.Results. Analysis of specific clinical signs observed during clinical examination of our patients in comparison with those reported in literature has shown the presence of typical skeletal and extraskeletal manifestations suggestive of MCD. In Russian patients we found the major mutation previously described in the Amish and Finnish populations, n.71A>G, present in compound heterozygous state, along with two other mutations: in one patient with an earlier described n.80G>A mutation, and in the other — a newly detected n.76C>T mutation. All detected mutations were mapped to a highly conserved region of the first domain that plays a major role in the functioning of the endoribonuclease complex.Conclusions. Considering the small size of the RMRP gene and presence of specific signs of MCD, the most accurate and inexpensive method of molecular genetic analysis is the detection of mutations in the RMRP gene using direct automated Sanger sequencing. Timely diagnosis of MCD enables to choose the correct follow-up strategy for patients with this disorder.
Miłosierdzie w prawie Katolickich Kościołów Wschodnich
Authors: Adamowicz Leszek 
Published: May 2021

Zagadnienie miłosierdzia w dyscyplinie Katolickich Kościołów Wschodnich obejmuje zarówno przepisy kanonów, w których wprost lub pośrednio prawodawca odwołuje się do tej kategorii teologicznej, jak i przejawia się w stosowaniu odpowiednich instytucji prawnych. Należą do nich dyspensa i ekonomia, które nakazują łagodne stosowanie ustawy kościelnej dla osiągnięcia najważniejszego celu prawa kościelnego, jakim jest pomoc w osiągnięciu zbawienia.
W artykule przywołano uzasadnienie biblijno-teologiczne dla obowiązujących przepisów prawa kanonicznego, stanowiące ratio legis omawianych instytucji prawnych, zwłaszcza doktrynę sformułowaną przez św. Leona Wielkiego i św. Tomasza z Akwinu.
Szczególnie ważnym zagadnieniem w dialogu ekumenicznym z chrześcijanami wschodnimi jest kwestia ekonomii (oikonomia), szeroko stosowana m.in. w Kościołach prawosławnych. Debata nad sformalizowaniem tej zasady w katolickim prawie kanonicznym była przedmiotem zainteresowań papieskiej komisji, która przygotowała Kodeks Kanonów Kościołów Wschodnich. Ostatecznie jednak ta zasada wprost nie została zdefiniowana i promulgowana, gdyż uznano, że jest ona realizowana przez zastosowanie innych instrumentów, jak np. dyspensa.
Meritocratic Justification in Rulemaking and its Criticism Based on the Example of American Regulatory Agencies

Published: May 2021

Uzasadnienie merytokratyczne w prawotwórstwie i jego krytyka na przykładzie działalności amerykańskich agencji rządowych
Mertytokracja, w zamyśle autora tego pojęcia Michaela Younga, oznaczała powierzenie sprawowania władzy nad określonymi obszarami życia społecznego osobom posiadającym odpowiednie do tego umiejętności. Skutkiem implementacji założeń merytokratycznych miało być stworzenie systemu, gdzie kluczową rolę w zarządzaniu życiem społecznym pełnić mieli eksperci. Postulat ten odnosił się także do tworzenia regulacji wybranych dziedzin życia społecznego, co powinno zostać powierzone wyspecjalizowanym, profesjonalnym podmiotom. Autor omawia znaczenie i rolę uzasadnienia merytokratycznego dla prawodawstwa na przykładzie amerykańskich agencji regulacyjnych. Uzasadnienie to ma dwojakie znaczenie: 1) jako czynnik legitymizujący kształt wprowadzanych przepisów oraz 2) jako kamuflaż dla realizacji interesów samych agencji czy też określonych grup nacisku czy interesów.

Published: May 2021

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this research article is to explore how engagement with digital tools affects the health and social well-being of digital natives. The study aims to look into the facts that how youth are getting benefits from this digitalization and how it is also increasing their exposure to the associated health risks.
Methodology: The qualitative research is conducted in three selected universities of Islamabad. Through a closed-ended questionnaire, demographic data about the activities of the youth on digital technology was collected. In-depth interviews, focus group discussions and participant observation were the core techniques used in the research.
Main Findings: Digital natives have improved awareness about health issues and actively educating the digital immigrants to access knowledge about treatments on various health issues at the local and global levels. The research shows that digital youth do realize that these technologies are leaving some bad effects on their health and well-being yet have not been able to get rid of them because their daily life activities are dependent on these tools.
Applications of this study: The study will be of great significance for the policymakers, who are handling the rising health issues due to digitalization impact in the society. It will be an addition to the knowledge in the disciplines of Public health, Anthropology, and Psychology besides the medical sector. Data will be used to address the health issues in the coming days by the medical professionals and social scientists.
Novelty/Originality of this study: This study has generated the information about the impact of digitalization on youth’s health by using the emic approach. Digital technology has taken up the role of socialization agent for the digital natives. So it is very important to listen to the youth's voices rather than assuming what is best for them. This study is novel in the sense that it is reflecting youth and how they perceive the digital technology as a beneficial tool and how it risks their life in many ways.
Sintesis dan Karakterisasi Poly (Anthranilic Acid-Co-Formaldehyde) untuk Adsorpsi Ion Pb(II)
Authors: Kartika Siska Ela , Amran Muhammad Bachri 
Published: May 2021

Besides having a positive impact, rapid industrial development also gives a negative impact in the form of industrial waste causing environmental pollution. Lead is one of the heavy metal ions that become a primary indicator of pollution according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). The determination of lead directly in environmental samples is often difficult because of the very low concentration of metal ions and the matrix interferences. Therefore, preconcentration techniques that can simplify the matrix are required. Ionic exchange resins, functionalized chelating resins, and ion imprinted polymers are mostly used to preconcentrate the trace elements. Poly (anthranilic acid-co-formaldehyde) is polymer synthesized by mixing anthranilic acid, formaldehyde, and HCl. The poly (anthranilic acid-co-formaldehyde) was characterized by FTIR and SEM analysis. Characterization results indicate that polymerization reaction has been formed indicated by the vibration of the CH2 bridge. Poly (anthranilic acid-co-formaldehyde) has a relatively smooth surface with pores. The batch method was applied. The maximum adsorption for Pb(II) ions was 16.37 mg/g at pH 5 with a contact time of 10 minutes. Keywords: poly (anthranilic acid-co-formaldehyde), adsorption, lead Selain memberikan dampak positif, perkembangan industri yang pesat juga dapat memberikan dampak negatif berupa limbah industri penyebab pencemaran lingkungan. Timbal merupakan salah satu ion logam berat yang menjadi indikator primer pencemaran menurut United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). Penentuan konsentrasi timbal secara langsung dalam sampel lingkungan seringkali sulit dilakukan karena terdapat pada konsentrasi renik dengan matriks yang rumit. Oleh karena itu, teknik prakonsentrasi yang dapat menyederhanakan matriks sangat diperlukan. Resin penukar ion, resin pengkhelat, dan ion imprinted polymers banyak digunakan untuk prakonsentrasi unsur renik.

Abstract

BackgroundCardiac rehabilitation (CR) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) aims to increase adherence to a healthy lifestyle and to secondary preventive medication. CR is able to improve quality of life and prognosis in CHD patients. This is particularly relevant for CHD patients with diabetes mellitus.DesignA prospective, multicenter registry study with patients from six rehabilitation centers in Germany.MethodsDuring CR, 1100 patients with a minimum age of 18 years and CHD documented by coronary angiography were included in a LLT registry.ResultsIn 369 patients (33.9 %), diabetes mellitus was diagnosed. Diabetic patients were older (65.5 ± 9.0 vs. 62.2 ± 10.9 years, p < 0.001) than nondiabetic patients and more likely to be obese (BMI: 30.2 ± 5.2 kg/m2 vs. 27.8 ± 4.2 kg/m2, p < 0.001). Analysis indicated that diabetic patients were more likely to show LDL cholesterol levels below 55 mg/dL than patients without diabetes at the start of CR (Odds Ratio (OR) 1.9; 95 % CI 1.3 to 2.9) until 3 months of follow-up (OR 1.9; 95 % CI 1.2 to 2.9). During 12 months of follow-up, overall and LDL cholesterol levels decreased within the first 3 months and remained at the lower level thereafter (p < 0.001), irrespective of prevalent diabetes. At the end of the follow-up, LDL cholesterol did not differ significantly between patients with or without diabetes mellitus (p = 0.413).ConclusionWithin 3 months after CR, total and LDL cholesterol were significantly reduced, irrespective of prevalent diabetes mellitus. In addition, CHD patients with diabetes responded faster to LTT than nondiabetic patients, suggesting that diabetic patients benefit more from LLT treatment during CR.
Pseudotachylyte Veins in Accretionary Complexes: Melt or Mechanical Wear?
Authors: Moris-Muttoni Benjamin , Raimbourg Hugues , Augier Romain , Champallier Remi , Trong Emmanuel Le 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
Whether seismic rupture propagates over large distances to generate mega-earthquakes or is rapidly arrested mainly depends on the slip processing within the fault core, including in particular frictional melting or intense grain-size reduction and amorphization. The record of seismic slip in exhumed fault zones consists in many instances in Black Faults Rocks, dark and glass-like-filled aphanitic veins that have been interpreted as resulting from quenching of frictional melts, i.e., pseudotachylytes. Such interpretation has nevertheless been questioned as similar macro to nano-textures have been observed either on intensely comminuted natural fault rocks or on slow creep experiments on crustal rocks, where melting is absent. Here, we report a new dataset of Raman Spectroscopy of Carbonaceous Material analyses, aimed at discriminating the slip weakening processes operating in the fault core during slip. Using high spatial resolution profiles on natural Black Fault Rocks from accretionary complexes and an experimentally calibrated modelling of Raman intensity ratio evolution with temperature, we assessed different scenarios of temperature evolution during fault slip. In the three studied Black Fault Rocks interpreted so far as natural pseudotachylytes, Raman Spectroscopy of Carbonaceous Material results are not consistent with a molten origin and therefore should reflect a mechanical wear during deformation. These results bear major consequences on the dynamics of faulting, as the slip-weakening processes that occur during seismic slip rely on the extreme grain-size reduction and fluidization rather than melting.
The development trends and features of online news websites in Bangladesh
Authors: Kabil Khan Abdul , Shnaider Anna 
Published: May 2021

This article refers to the brief history of the development of online media in Bangladesh starting from the beginnings of the Internet to the contemporary stage.
Since 2006 Bangladeshi news organizations have been reshaping their strategy towards being a digital-only news outlet. News organizations are now using different features of mobile devices and social media to tell stories and engage with their target audiences. Today both the digital-only news outlets and mainstream media use QR codes, messengers, social media platforms, which enable them to reach a wider area of audiences. By using yet inexpensive digital tools journalists can easily create and distribute content for digital-only platforms.
We consider digital-only platforms as new media, social media, and convergence media platforms. Social media platforms have provided the opportunity for traditional journalists to share news quickly, get feedback from the audience, and have two-way communication with the reader.
Previous studies have looked at the genres of online journalism from a western perspective. Little has been done on the topic from the context of Bangladesh.
In this article, we analyze the basic features of online news media that exist in contemporary Bangladesh and provide an account of the development trends. We outline the new genres, techniques, and use as a sample two most famous online news platforms: The Daily Star and bdnews24. A series of semi-structured interviews were conducted with 5 different professionals from Journalism and mass media. This study is based on both primary and secondary sources of qualitative data to understand the new genres of online news media, challenges, and opportunities to work in the ever-changing media landscape.
Anti-Lu9: the finding of the second example after 25 years
Authors: Champagne Kayla D. , Moulds Marilyn , Schmidt Jo 
Published: May 2021

Abstract
The first and only reported example of antí-Lu9 (an antibody directed at a low-incidence antigen in the Lutheran blood group system and allelic to the high-incidence antigen Lu6) was described in 1973 in the serum of a white female, Mrs. Mull. Her serum also contained anti-Lul (-Lua), and subsequently, an anti-HLA-B7 (-Bga) was identified. We report the second example of anti-Lu9 in a white male (GR), found 25 years later. The GR serum was reactive in the indirect anti globulin test with Lu:-1,2,6,9 antibody-screening red blood cells (RBCs) using either a low-ionic-saline additive solution or polyethylene glycol for enhancement. Lu:6,9 RBCs were reactive with the serum when ficin- or EDTA/glycine-acid-treated, but nonreactive when trypsin- or α-chymotrypsin-treated. Six known examples of Lu; 9 RBCs were reactive with the GR serum. His serum did not contain anti-Lua, anti-HIA-B7 (-Bga) or antibodies to 34 low-incidence antigens tested. We have identified the second example of anti-Lu9 that was likely stimulated by transfusion. Because only one of 200 donors was found to be Lu:9, our study suggests that the incidence of the Lu9 antigen may be less than originally thought.
