Published: September 2021

Abstract
Background: Transfusion of blood /component is an essential procedure in modern days of medical practice. As far as safe transfusion is concerned, it is a prime requirement i.e. handles TTIs infections including syphilis and other adverse events.
Aims and Objectives: Focus of the present study is to assess seroprevalence and risk factors of Syphilis among blood donors in greater Gwalior
Materials and Methods: The present retrospective descriptive study was conducted over a period of 8 years. All the samples of voluntary and relative blood donors, who came to donate blood, were tested for transfusion transmissible infections. Prevalence of TTIs and syphilis were analyzed in the view of different parameters of donors and along with its associated risk factors. Chi square (X2) test was applied to know the significant (p value) ratio of difference statistically as required.
Results: In the present study prevalence of TTIs is 3.44% and for syphilis it is 0.268%, most common age group is 40-51years (41.18%); male to female ratio is insignificant statistically. Ratio of voluntary versus relative donors was 94.21% and 5.79 % and male to female was 91.27% and 8.473% were female respectively.
Conclusion: An advance knowledge, attitude, and behavior of the volunteer blood donors’ population regarding risk factors will most probably improve public health and increase blood safety and quality.
Taliban and Afghan peace process
Authors: Ishchenko Nikita S. 
Published: September 2021

2021 is the year of the American and their allies troops withdrawal from Afghanistan after a 20-year stay. They are leaving the country under the Taliban control which was established impetuously and met with almost no serious resistance. It has happened all but a year after the launching of the inter-Afghan negotiations in Doha between Kabul and Taliban teams opened on September 12, 2020 which became a milestone in attaining the political settlement.
Taliban perceives itself as a victor over both foreign contingent and the Ashraf Ghani’s regime which has come to the end immediately in the wake of NATO troops pullout. This fact is a point of concern for many Afghans and representatives of the international community that the new masters of the country will create a government system without taking into account interests of the other parts of the Afghan conflict. At the same time many experts agree that international community and the majority of Afghans can only recognize the legitimacy of Taliban if it refuses to monopolize power.
If the Taliban leaders admit this approach, then in the near future they will have to negotiate with opponents in order to create an inclusive government, focusing on the political and diplomatic aspects of their activities. Over the past few years, Taliban has gained experience in such work, promoting itself at the international arena as a political force willing to achieve a peaceful solution.
In this article we will look at the participation of Taliban political wing in the peace process since the start of the Doha negotiations and at the very first stage of their de facto power in Afghanistan in order to characterize Taliban representatives as negotiators and diplomats.

Published: September 2021

Cattle grubs (Figure 1) are the immature stages of warble flies or heel flies (Figure 2). Two species of cattle grubs occur in the United States -- the common cattle grub, Hypoderma lineatum, and the northern cattle grub, Hypoderma bovis. The common cattle grub is found in Florida; however the northern cattle grub is usually found in cattle shipped to Florida from other states. Recent observations have indicated that the northern cattle grub may be becoming established in Florida.

Cattle Tail Lice
Authors: Kaufman Phillip E. , Koehler Philip G. , Butler Jerry F. 
Published: September 2021

The cattle tail louse, Haematopinus quadripertusus (Figure 1), is the most important damaging cattle louse in Florida. In other parts of the United States the short-nosed cattle louse is the major pest. While much information is available for the control of short-nosed cattle lice, only limited information is available specifically on control of the tail louse. Important differences in the biology of these two species require differing control strategies.

Published: September 2021

The northern fowl mite (Figure 1) is the most important external parasite of poultry in Florida and is widely distributed throughout the state. This mite is found throughout many of the temperate regions of the world parasitizing domestic fowl and wild birds. It has been shown to cause economic damage on poultry farms by causing anemia, lower egg production and even death to birds. Also of considerable importance, the mites will bite man (egg handlers) causing itching and irritation to the skin.

Recognizing Florida's Venomous Snakes
Authors: Johnson Steve A. , Main Martin B. 
Published: September 2021

Florida is home to 45 species of native snakes, six of which are venomous (poisonous). The venomous species include five pit vipers (Eastern Diamond-backed Rattlesnake, Timber Rattlesnake, Pygmy Rattlesnake, Copperhead, and Cottonmouth) and the Coral Snake. Although each of the six venomous species in Florida have unique characteristics that allow them to be readily identified by experts, there are many non-venomous species with which the venomous species may be confused. Therefore it is best not to attempt to capture, harass, or harm any snake. To do so may put you at risk of being bitten by a venomous species.

Population growth in Depok City is large and not in accordance with development land causes many residents’ to build houses with conditions <5 meters from the line of Electric Rail Train or Kereta Rel Listrik (KRL); this causes changes in the quality of the environment, including noise. The objective of this study is to determine the noise level, and the results will be compared with the standard noise level of the residential area; also, to find the influence of noise on residents’. This research was conducted in the area of ​​Rawa Geni Raya Street, 1st Neighborhood, Ratu Jaya Urban Village, Depok City. Noise measurements were carried out at 5-points using a simple method with a noise level measuring instrument (SLM). At one time, the measurement was taken for 10 minutes with a reading time of every 5 seconds. The questionnaire was measured using a Purposive Random Sampling technique, and the number of samples was calculated using the Slovin formula. The results of this study indicate that the 5-point noise level exceeds the recommended threshold according to KEPMEN LH 48 of 1996 and PERMENKES 718/1987 at 55 dB(A). The largest value for the 24-hour noise level (LSM) is at point 1, which is 5 m from the KRL line. The noise level on the weekday is 75.32 dB(A) and 74.24 dB(A) on weekends. According to PERMENKES No 718/1987, the location of point 1 should be included in Area D as an industrial zone, plant, railway station, and bus terminal. The results of questionnaires by 34 respondents showed that the noise generated by KRL was noisy and the majority of respondents agreed the noise affected the comfort level; in terms of health, respondents agreed KRL noise caused sleep disturbances and hearing loss.

Published: September 2021

Pembangkitan listrik dengan menggunakan bahan bakar fosil dapat meningkatkan pemanasan global. Untuk mengurangi penggunaan bahan bakar fosil tersebut dapat diatasi dengan pengembangan dan pemanfaatan Energi Baru Terbarukan (EBT). Salah satu contoh dari EBT tersebut adalah Photovoltaic (PV). Penambahan PV dengan penetrasi dan penempatan yang bervariasi memiliki pengaruh yang berbeda-beda terhadap aliran daya. Disisi lain, ketidakseimbangan beban mengakibatkan munculnya arus di netral trafo. Arus yang mengalir di netral trafo ini menyebabkan terjadinya losses (rugi-rugi), yaitu losses akibat adanya arus netral pada penghantar netral trafo dan losses akibat arus netral yang mengalir ke tanah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat pengaruh masuknya PV ke sistem dengan penetrasi yang berbeda-beda. Penambahan PV di ujung dekat beban dengan penetrasi 10 %, 20% dan 30 % pada tegangan 0,38 kV menyebabkan losses naik sebesar 3,5 kW, 30,8 kW dan 101,6 kW, sedangkan Penambahan PV di tengah saluran dengan penetrasi 10 %, 20% dan 30 % pada tegangan 20 kV membantu mengurangi losses sebesar 9,4 kW, 11,4 kW dan 13 kW. Selain itu, untuk melihat load flow sistem saat terjadi ketidakseimbangan beban pada Wirobrajan substation feeder 1 yang terdiri dari 4 area penyaluran yaitu Ngestiharjo-pakuncen, Tegalrejo, Bumijo A dan Bumijo B dengan menggunakan ETAP (Electrical Transient Analyzer Program) 12.6.0.

Abstract— The high demand for tin mining commodities has pushed the development of mining product processing technology quite significantly. However, the more difficult it is to obtain available reserves and the lower the processed Tin content, the lower the selling value. One of the tools that can be used to get good quality tin with fine grains according to its level is a rocking table. Currently, the processing of data from the processing of Tin ore using a rocking table has not been carried out optimally. This situation causes the monitoring system and optimization of the use of the rocking table to not be implemented properly. The formulation of the problme is using a mobile-based data collection system . So that the data obtained can be used as the basis for optimizing the use of the existing rocking table in each mining unit as well as increasing the ease of access to recheck on land production, especially from processing rocking table tools. For the system development model using a waterfall and the Database Management System (DBMS) used is using a SQLite database. Based on the test results, the system provides convenience in monitoring the use of the rocking table, so that tool optimization is achieved

Stock trading is one of the businesses that has been done worldwide. In order to gain the maximum profit, accurate analysis is needed, so a trader can decide to buy and sell stock at the perfect time and price. Conventionally, two analyses are employed, namely fundamental and technical. Technical analysis is obtained based on historical data that is processed mathematically. Along with technology development, stock price analysis and prediction can be performed with the help of computational algorithms, such as machine learning. In this research, Artificial Neural Network simulations to produce accurate stock price predictions were carried out. Experiments are performed by using various input parameters, such as moving average filters, in order to produce the best accuracy. Simulations are completed with stock index datasets that represent three continents, i.e. NYA (America, USA), GDAXI (Europe, Germany), and JKSE (Asia, Indonesia). This work proposes a new method, which is the utilization of input parameters combinations of C, O, L, H, MA-5 of C, MA-5 of O, and the average of O C prices. Furthermore, this proposed scheme is also compared to previous work done by Khorram et al, where this new work shows more accurate results.

Published: September 2021

In this paper, we demonstrate the efficiency of Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC) for coherent optical systems based on Polarization Division Multiplexed Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (PDM-QPSK). The performance of the proposed system is tested using a pulse that has been recently used in the presence of nonlinear effects.The proposed system is compared to the 0.3RZ-PDM-QPSK system at the optimum launched power under different symbol-rates and lengths of transmission. The simulation results confirm that the proposed method enhances the system performance. In addition, it secures a low penalty that is below 0.6 dB. As a result, the feasible transmission distance is improved by 29 %, 20.15 %, and 26.7 %, at 14 GBaud, 28 Gbaud, and 56 Gbaud, respectively.

Abstract— The rise of plagiarism is one of the negative impacts of the development of information and communication technology. Plagiarism can occur anywhere. One of the examples is a university with the object of plagiarism as a student's final project. So we need a system to detect plagiarism so that it can suppress plagiarism in the college environment. In detecting the similarity of a writing will be faster if the writing has been grouped before compared to each other. Single-link clustering was chosen because it has a simple algorithm and can be implemented without the initial cluster. In plagiarism plagiarism usually changes the sentence structure so that it looks different Jaro-Winkler distance is chosen because it can detect similarities in paragraphs that have been changed in sentence structure because Jaro-Winkler distance has a flexible indexing with theoretical distance so that a word or character is considered the same. The stages in this study include data collection, preprocessing, grouping writing with Single-link clustering, comparing writing with jaro-winkler distance, and testing with precision and recall. After testing, the average value of precision was 84.37% and recall was 84.37% with a level of plagiarism of 99.1%. Keywords—: jaro-winkler distance; plagiarisme; single-link clustering.
