Turmeric is a perennial plant of ginger family serving as an effective nutritional supplement that has major benefits for the body and brain. The major benefits stretch from anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, anti-arthritic, anti-aging to improving brain functions as well as its possible property of lowering sugar, lipids and increasing calcium. Due to fluctuation in estrogen, perimenopausal women are at high risk of heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis. This study investigates the effect of turmeric on lipid profile and some biochemical parameters in perimenopausal women. Sixty apparently healthy women of perimenopausal age were selected and treated for three months with turmeric. Blood sample were collected at baseline, first, second and third month of treatments. Serum was evaluated for lipid profile, fasting blood sugar and calcium. Measurements of their anthropometric parameters were taken at every level. The mean anthropometric parameters showed that weight p=0.045, WC p=0.043 was significantly lower after three months of treatment while SBP p=0.000, DBP p=0.009 was significantly increased after three months of treatment. Calcium concentration increased though not significant but FBS significantly decreased to 4.83±0.41 (p=0.004) after three months of treatment. HDL increased significantly to 1.30 ± 0.11 (p=0.0001) after three months of treatment. This study showed that turmeric increases calcium and HDL-c concentration, reduces weight, waist circumference, FBS, TC, TG, LDL, VLDL and moderates systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Thus, it serves as an alternative remedy in management of menopausal symptoms.

Mesure et suivi de la dynamique du couvert forestier : cas de l'écorégion des forêts humides de l’Est de Madagascar
Authors: RAKOTOMALALA Fety Abel 
Published: July 2021

La quantification fine et à large échelle des dynamiques du couvert forestier est indispensable dans la gestion des ressources naturelles. Elle fournit les connaissances pour lutter contre la perte de la biodiversité et réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. À Madagascar, plusieurs études récentes ont montré l’importance de la déforestation, principalement liée à l’agriculture par abattis-brûlis. Cependant, la définition nationale des forêts n’a jamais été prise en compte dans leur processus de traitement des données. Par ailleurs, il n’existe pas ou peu d’informations sur l’étendue et l’importance des processus de dégradation et de régénération forestières. Ainsi, l’objectif de la présente thèse consiste à quantifier la déforestation, la dégradation et la régénération forestières dans l’écorégion des forêts humides de l’Est de Madagascar entre 2000 et 2015. Une approche basée sur la détection de changements d’images multidates a été appliquée pour estimer et analyser le niveau de déforestation. L’estimation de la dégradation et de la régénération a principalement été effectuée en faisant simultanément l’analyse de l’évolution du couvert et du stock de carbone forestier. La déforestation a été estimée à 90 171 ha/an entre 2000 et 2005, à 27 103 ha/an entre 2005 et 2010, à 33 978 ha/an entre 2010 et 2013 et à 80 626 ha/an entre 2013 et 2015. La dégradation forestière a été estimée à 20 327 ha/an et la régénération à 7 997 ha/an entre 2000 et 2015. La validation de ces résultats a été réalisée par inspection visuelle des points sur des images de haute résolution spatiale. La précision globale de la carte de déforestation a été évaluée à 90 % tandis que, pour la dégradation et la régénération, elle a été estimée à 88,5 %. La présente thèse propose ainsi des éléments méthodologiques innovants associant l’analyse des données de télédétection spatiale et des données de terrain pour le suivi de la déforestation, la dégradation et la régénération forestières à Madagascar. Elle contribue également à fournir les informations statistiques nécessaires à la mise en place du système national de suivi du couvert forestier.

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic caused many schools to close and forced educators to replace face-to-face learning to online learning overnight. The process of transitioning to the application of distance learning cannot occur in a short time. So that it takes adequate facilities and teacher skills in designing learning. E-learning facilities are still unfamiliar to both teachers and students, especially in Situbondo Regency. So that mentoring and training in the use of e-learning for teachers in physics learning is needed to make it easier for teachers and students in the learning process. Planning activities include making e-learning modules using moddle and camtasia. The training and mentoring process was even attended by 93 physics teachers outside Situbondo Regency. However, those who can participate in the training gradually decrease due to the busyness of each participant. So that at the end of the Moodle e-learning training and mentoring session, there are 25 (18 from Situbondo) participants who can design a complete lesson including assignment features, quizzes (aiken format), labels, lessons, Bigblue buttons, pages, books and forums.

AbstractQuarries between Old Radnor and Presteigne, Welsh Borderlands, expose a Silurian nearshore succession, which onlaps a rocky palaeotopography of the Neoproterozoic basement that had been uplifted along the Church Stretton Fault Zone. The succession documents the Aeronian to Sheinwoodian transgression of an island or islands, with the following sequence of events: deposition of shallow marine sandstones (Folly Sandstone Formation), regional uplift, preservation of a rocky shoreline and associated deposits (Dolyhir Rudite Member), deposition of limestones characterized by a profusion of coralline algae and the abundant remains of reefs (Dolyhir and Nash Scar Limestone Formation), and finally deposition of trilobitic silty mudstones (basal Coalbrookdale Formation). Facies analysis, carbon isotope (δ13Ccarb) values, sequence stratigraphy, and collections of bryozoans, conodonts, thelodonts, and trilobites have been used here as a means of refining our stratigraphic understanding of this unique succession. The revised stratigraphy demonstrates many similarities with the adjoining Midland Platform and the wider Silurian world. Notable features include the globally recognized early Sheinwoodian carbon isotope excursion and sea-level changes of regional and global extent. As one of the best examples of its kind, the palaeoshoreline and nearshore succession of Old Radnor and Presteigne acts as a depositional model for ancient rocky shores worldwide.

Summary
Use of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion has shown its potential for conformance control in heterogeneous porous media, yet it is essential to understand how to improve the conformance control performance in the heterogeneous 2D model with lean zones before it is applied in the fields. In this paper, an O/W emulsion-based conformance control method is improved through newly designed flow tests and optimized modeling study. A heterogeneous 2D model was designed with a high water mobility zone (HWMZ) and a low water mobility zone (LWMZ) separated by a horizontal injection well to mimic real oil sands with lean zones (top- or bottomwater) and with application of horizontal wells. Optimal conformance control strategies were proposed and examined in the 2D model by injecting correspondingly designed O/W emulsions.
In an improvement of our previously proposed emulsion flow model (Ding et al. 2020c), we introduce the real phenomena of permeability reduction (PR) coefficients in this paper to describe the three ambiguous coefficients: flow distribution coefficient (γ), plugging coefficient (α), and retention rate coefficient (a). This newly developed model can incorporate with characteristics of the emulsion and the heterogeneous porous media through the introduction of the experimentally derived PR coefficient. It is well established in COMSOL Multiphysics® (COMSOL AB 2005), and the modeling results show good agreement with the experimentally monitored results in the three types of flow tests. This work bridges experimental and mathematical studies on emulsion flow in 2D models associated with lean zones and is able to provide a guide on optimal emulsion design and injection strategy for optimal conformance control performances.

What Medication-Related Factors Are Important For Polypharmacy And Deprescribing Assessment By Physicians And Pharmacists Using A Novel Website To Rate Clinical Cases?
Authors: Masnoon Nashwa , Shakib Sepehr , Ellett Lisa Kalisch , Caughey Gillian E 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Background: Little is known about how clinicians assess polypharmacy in real-world practice. Objectives: To identify which medication-related factors influence clinicians’ ratings of polypharmacy, harm from medicines and deprescribing of medicines when presented with a patient’s list of medications and comorbidities.Setting: A novel website called What Is Polypharmacy Exactly (WIPE) was created with 50 de-identified real-world cases with varying numbers of comorbidities and medicines.Methods: Participants, consisting of physicians and pharmacists were asked to rate each case from zero (lowest) to 10 (highest) on three questions: i) degree of polypharmacy, ii) potential for medication-related harm and iii) potential to deprescribe medicines. Medication-related factors including medicines count, high-risk medicines, inappropriate duplication, drug-drug and drug-disease interactions were assessed. Multiple linear regression was used to determine which medication-related factors influenced median ratings for the three questions. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome measure was the median rating for the degree of polypharmacy for each case. Secondary outcome measures were the median rating for the potential for harm from medicines for each case and median rating for the potential to deprescribe medicines for each case. Results: Ninety-two clinicians were included in the study, comprising of 76.1% pharmacists (n=70) and 23.9% physicians (n=22). The comorbidity count (P=0.001), medicines count (P<0.001), inappropriate medication duplication (P=0.017), high-risk medicines (P=0.049), use of NSAIDs (P=0.032) and antihypertensives (P=0.040) were predictive of the perceived degree of polypharmacy. The comorbidity count (P<0.001), medicines count (P<0.001), inappropriate medication duplication (P=0.016) and high-risk medicines (P=0.036) were predictive of the recognised potential for medication-related harm. The medicines count (P<0.001), inappropriate medication duplication (P=0.017), benzodiazepine use (P=0.003) and antipsychotic use (P=0.039) were predictive of the recognised potential to deprescribe medicines. Conclusion: Whilst polypharmacy has traditionally been defined using the medicines count, our findings suggest that clinicians also consider other factors such as high-risk medicines and inappropriate medicines duplication to identify patients at risk of adverse outcomes. Future polypharmacy assessment tools should additionally include these factors.

Published: July 2021

Abstract
This study investigated the feasibility of using cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) for analysis of left ventricular (LV) strain and strain rate in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) combined with ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). And evaluated the correlation between the LV global strain and left ventricular ejection (LVEF). We performed a retrospective study in a cohort of 34 consecutive patients with NIDCM combined with VAs who underwent CMR examination in our hospital between January 2016 and December 2019. Global and segmental peak values of LV longitudinal, circumferential, radial strain, and systolic strain rate were analyzed. Pearson analysis was calculated to assess the correlation of LV global deformation and LVEF as well as the correlation of between LV global deformation. Compared with the healthy controls, the global peak radial strain (GPRS), global peak circumferential strain (GPCS), and global peak longitudinal strain (GPLS) were significantly reduced in patients with NIDCM combined with VAs (P < 0.001, respectively). Additionally, Pearson analysis showed GPCS negatively correlated with LVEF (r=-0.946, P < 0.001), GPLS negatively correlated with LVEF (r=-0.860, P < 0.001), and GPRS positively correlated with LVEF (r = 0.920, P < 0.001). CMR-FT is a feasible and promising technique for assessing LV myocardial deformation of patients with NIDCM combined with VAs. And, GPCS was better negatively correlated with LVEF and higher reproducibility of intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), which can help to guide clinical treatment and have great implication on clinical decision.
Controllers Design based on Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Systems and Sliding Mode for a Non-Holonomic Mobile robot
Authors: Abid hafedh 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
This paper is interesting to a nonholonomic wheeled mobile robot. We have presented a scheme to develop controllers. Two controllers have been developed. The first concerns the kinematic behavior while the second relates to the dynamic behavior of the mobile robot. For the Kinematic controller, we have used a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system to overcome the nonlinearities present in model whereas for the second controller we have used the sliding mode approach. The sliding surface has the identical structure as the proportional integral controller. The stability of system has been proved based on Lyapunov approach. The simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed control laws.
