Primary Layout Of The Earliest Shophouses In The Small Towns (1880s - 1930s) – A Case Study In Perak
Authors: Bin Mamat Mohd Jaki 
Published: April 2021

The layout of the shophouse combined two main functions, as a residence and commercial building. The living and business activities were main influences on how these spaces were designed in the shophouse that first made its appearance in the small towns and surrounding areas in the early 19th and 20th centuries. In Malaysia, in particular Perak, these shophouses are still intact and have enabled the opportunity to identify and record the layout features of interior space for this study. From interviews and measured drawing of the early shophouses in 16 small towns in Perak, a complete set of layout plans were produced and analysed. This study has found that the domestic (or family) space was given prominence in terms of size; thus, the lifestyle was a determining factor in the building's layout for interior space. Yet, the importance of business sets its relevant space at the forefront where customers are received.

Abstract: An important stage that will determine the quality of ready-to-consume coffee is roasting. This method has been developed and used to obtain the best and specific quality of coffee brewing. In addition to the method used, the type of coffee greatly influences the quality characteristics of the brewed coffee produced. Coffee beans will not have a high commercial value before being subjected to a roasting process for the formation of the best aroma and taste. Roasting is a combination of time and temperature that changes the structure and chemical properties in coffee beans through the pyrolysis process. Even high-quality coffee beans cannot have maximum aroma and flavor if the roasting process is not done properly. This research uses a roasting machine type Hot Air Roasting or with other names Air Roasting is a different roasted coffee method. Coffee roasting process is not on the surface of the roaster but in the air, this coffee roasting method was introduced by Michael Sivetz, a chemical engineer and consultant of the world coffee industry. Based on the results of this study that the decrease in density discussed in the previous paragraph shows that the longer the roasting, the weight of coffee will decrease because the water content in coffee beans has begun to decrease. This shows that the longer the coffee beans are roasted, the better the results of heating. This research process uses a hot air type roasting machine. Hot water is one type of roasting machine that is good and efficient, because the heating carried out by the machine uses electrical energy. The final results obtained in this study the temperature continues to rise but the density decreases. This shows the inverse relationship between temperature and density of coffee and the best roasting results and can be used for brewing robusta coffee at 200 ° C in 15-20 minutes.

Published: April 2021

Rubber plants (Hevea brasilensis) include sap plants, because this group has plant tissue that contains a lot of latex and the sap flows out when the plant tissue is injured (Budiman, 2012). The obstacle most often encountered in the process of making rubber processed materials is the large number of farmers who use coagulation materials that are not recommended by the government, thus decreasing the quality of the rubber produced. Therefore, it is necessary to use alternative coagulants that do not degrade and damage the quality of rubber, such as noni juice. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the production of noni juice coagulant as a coagulant can affect the ash content of the latex and to determine the correct dose of noni juice coagulant in reducing the ash content of the latex. This study used a randomized block design (RBD) with a single factor and the factors studied were the addition of coagulant doses of noni juice with 7 treatments (K0: natural latex (control), K1: 25 ml, K2: 50 ml, K3: 75 ml. , K4: 100 ml, K5: 125 ml of noni juice coagulant material and K6: 25 ml of salvage 90 and added 1 l of latex per experimental unit). The results of this study indicate that the volume of the noni juice coagulant has a very significant effect on the contact time, the gross weight of the bokar, and the ash content of the latex. The best dose of volume of noni juice coagulant to produce the lowest ash content of latex is the treatment of 75 ml of noni juice coagulant in 1 liter of liquid latex.

Authors: Shibuo Yoshihiro , Kawaike Kenji , Furumai Hiroaki 
Published: April 2021

As rainfalls exceeding the designed level have increased, so has damage associated with pluvial flooding. Typhoon Hagibis, which swept Japan in 2019, left 140 municipalities in 15 prefectures scarred from flooding. The sewage networks damaged by the typhoon affected civic life by paralyzing urban functions, raising concerns in urban flood risk and management. Increases in heavy rainfall events associated with global climate change are expected to increase damage from pluvial flooding, thereby necessitating reviews of current urban flood risk management for the purpose of making further improvements against future threats. As we enter an era of frequent urban flooding, it is vitally important that we prepare for urban flood risk management by sharing scientific and technological knowledge among academics, private companies, and administrators.
In this context, the current issue is a compilation of contemporary research studies in academia, technological advances in private companies, and practical applications in public administrations in Japan. The works include: the application of urban flood modeling in safe evacuation strategies, the assessment of economic loss, and the impact of climate change; state of the art technologies for urban flood management with the Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet Communication Technology (ICT), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), and the next generation of weather radars; and best practices for flood countermeasures, based on knowledge and experience from historical flooding and applied in prefectural governments and local municipalities.
We are grateful to all the authors and reviewers who contributed to this special issue, and we hope that it may internationally enhance knowledge-exchange in preparation for growing urban flood risks.

Objectives. To document the cumulative childhood risk of different levels of involvement with the child protection system (CPS), including terminations of parental rights (TPRs). Methods. We linked vital records for California’s 1999 birth cohort (n = 519 248) to CPS records from 1999 to 2017. We used sociodemographic information captured at birth to estimate differences in the cumulative percentage of children investigated, substantiated, placed in foster care, and with a TPR. Results. Overall, 26.3% of children were investigated for maltreatment, 10.5% were substantiated, 4.3% were placed in foster care, and 1.1% experienced a TPR. Roughly 1 in 2 Black and Native American children were investigated during childhood. Children receiving public insurance experienced CPS involvement at more than twice the rate of children with private insurance. Conclusions. Findings provide a lower-bound estimate of CPS involvement and extend previous research by documenting demographic differences, including in TPRs. Public Health Implications. Conservatively, CPS investigates more than a quarter of children born in California for abuse or neglect. These data reinforce policy questions about the current scope and reach of our modern CPS.

Published: April 2021

Objectives. To examine SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) epidemiology and risk factors among Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) staff in the United States. Methods. We calculated the SARS-CoV-2 case rate among 37 640 BOP staff from March 12 to June 17, 2020, using payroll and COVID-19–specific data. We compared occupational factors among staff with and without known SARS-CoV-2 using multiple logistic regression, controlling for demographic characteristics. We calculated relative risk among staff in stand-alone institutions versus complexes (> 1 institution). Results. SARS-CoV-2 was reported by 665 staff across 59.8% of institutions, a case rate of 1766.6 per 100 000. Working in dorm-style housing and in detention centers were strong risk factors, whereas cell-based housing was protective; these effects were erased in complexes. Occupational category was not associated with SARS-CoV-2. Conclusions. SARS-CoV-2 infection was more likely among staff working in institutions where physical distancing and limiting exposure to a consistent set of staff and inmates are challenging. Public Health Implications. Mitigation strategies—including augmented staff testing, entry and exit testing among inmates, limiting staff interactions across complexes, and increasing physical distancing by reducing occupancy in dorm-style housing—may prevent SARS-CoV-2 infections among correctional staff.
Operator-Based Linearization Approach for Modeling of Multiphase Flow with Buoyancy and Capillarity
Authors: Lyu Xiaocong , Khait Mark , Voskov Denis 
Published: April 2021

SummaryNumerical simulation of coupled multiphase multicomponent flow and transport in porous media is a crucial tool for understanding and forecasting of complex industrial applications related to the subsurface. The discretized governing equations are highly nonlinear and usually need to be solved with Newton’s method, which corresponds with high computational cost and complexity. With the presence of capillary and gravity forces, the nonlinearity of the problem is amplified even further, which usually leads to a higher numerical cost. A recently proposed operator-based linearization (OBL) approach effectively improves the performance of complex physical modeling by transforming the discretized nonlinear conservation equations into a quasilinear form according to state-dependent operators. These operators are approximated by means of a discrete representation on a uniform mesh in physical parameter space. Continuous representation is achieved through the multilinear interpolation. This approach provides a unique framework for the multifidelity representation of physics in general-purpose simulation. The applicability of the OBL approach was demonstrated for various energy subsurface applications with multiphase flow of mass and heat in the presence of buoyancy and diffusive forces. In this work, the OBL approach is extended for multiphase multicomponent systems with capillarity. Through the comparisons with a legacy commercial simulator using a set of benchmark tests, we demonstrate that the extended OBL scheme significantly improves the computational efficiency with the controlled accuracy of approximation and converges to the results of the conventional continuous approach with an increased resolution of parametrization.

Abstract
Chlorophyll-a (Chl- a ) is considered an indicator of phytoplankton biomass dynamically reflecting the growth of algae. Therefore, determination of Chl- a threshold is of vital importance to the health of aquatic ecosystems and drinking water security. This research is aimed to investigate the spatial and temporal distributions of Chl- a and microcystin (MC) concentrations using Geographic Information System (GIS) and identify the Chl- a threshold in Lake Taihu based on available guideline values of MCs. Nearly the same characteristics of spatiotemporal variation of Chl- a and MCs were observed in Lake Taihu. Overall, the lakewide distributions of Chl- a and MCs were highly variable over time and space. The Chl- a concentration in the winter and spring was relatively low, and gradually increasing in summer and autumn, with the maximum concentration observed in August. But the maximum MCs concentration appeared in October, two months lagging behind the Chl- a . The highest annual average Chl- a and MCs concentrations were observed in Zhushan Bay, Meiliang Bay, Gonghu Bay in northwest of Lake Taihu, following by West Zone and Center Zone. Dongtaihu Bay, East Zone and South Zone always present good water quality. Referring to the guideline value of MCs, the Chl- a threshold was determined as 10-15 mg·m -3 based on the linear regression correlation between Chl- a and MCs. The establishment of Chl- a threshold is useful for eutrophication control, water quality management and drinking water utilities in developing water safety plans.

Abstract
Purpose
To study the safety and efficacy of pterygium extended removal followed by extended conjunctival transplant for recurrent pterygia.
Methods
Thirty-three eyes of 33 subjects with recurrent pterygia were enrolled in this prospective case series study. Pterygium extended removal followed by extended conjunctival transplantation was done for all subjects. One surgeon (WA) performed all surgeries. All subjects completed follow-up for at least 12 months and were evaluated for recurrence and complications.
Results
The mean age of the participants was 41.2 ± 10.3 years (range 22–60), 7 females (21.2%). The mean duration of follow-up was 25.64 ± 9.24 months (range 12–43). Corrected distance visual acuity (decimal notation) improved from 0.69 ± 0.22 (range 0.2–1.0) at presentation to a 1-year postoperative value of 0.83 ± 0.2 (range 0.3–1.0). No recurrence was reported in all subjects throughout the follow-up period. Transient graft swelling was recorded in 14 cases (42.4%) and resolved in all cases by the first week. All patients developed variable degrees of transient postoperative diplopia that resolved completely by the first 6 weeks. Donor site granuloma developed in 4 cases (12.1%). Spontaneous resolution was observed in 3 cases, while in one case, surgical excision was performed 2 months after the procedure.
Conclusions
In this study of eyes with recurrent pterygia, pterygium extended removal followed by extended conjunctival transplant was found safe and effective with no recurrence and minimal postoperative complications.
RUFY3 links Arl8b and JIP4-Dynein complex to regulate lysosome size and positioning

Published: April 2021

Abstract
The whole-cell scale spatial organization of lysosomes is regulated by their bidirectional motility on microtubule tracks. Small GTP-binding (G) protein, Arl8b, stimulates the anterograde transport of lysosomes by recruiting adaptor protein SKIP (also known as PLEKHM2), which in turn couples the microtubule motor kinesin-1. Here, we have identified an Arl8b effector, RUN and FYVE domain-containing protein family member 3, RUFY3, which drives the retrograde transport of lysosomes. Artificial targeting of RUFY3 to the surface of mitochondria was sufficient to drive their perinuclear positioning. We find that RUFY3 interacts with the JIP4-Dynein-Dynactin complex and mediates Arl8b association with the retrograde motor complex. The mobile fraction of the total lysosomes per cell was significantly enhanced upon RUFY3 depletion, suggesting that RUFY3 maintains the lysosomes clustering within the perinuclear cloud. Expectedly, RUFY3 knockdown disrupted the perinuclear positioning of lysosomes upon nutrient starvation and/or serum depletion, although lysosome continued to undergo fusion with autophagosomes. Interestingly, lysosome fission events were more frequent in RUFY3-depleted cells and accordingly, there was a striking reduction in lysosome size, an effect that was also observed in dynein and JIP4 depleted cells. These findings indicate that the dynein-dependent “perinuclear cloud” arrangement of lysosomes also regulates the size of these proteolytic compartments and, likely, their cellular roles.

Abstract
Background: Complications in treating comminuted tibial plateau fractures with extensive soft tissue damage are common. In this study, we discussed the effect of staged treatment in the reconstruction of the lateral column with autogenous iliac bone using case follow-up. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 18 patients with comminuted tibial plateau fractures and extensive soft tissue damage from October 2016 to February 2020 who underwent staged treatment in our hospital. After the soft tissue damage repair, a large autologous iliac bone was used to reconstruct the lateral column of the tibial plateau.Results: All 18 patients were followed up over the course of 8-40 months, with an average of 23.44 months. All patients reported zero postoperative infection, skin and soft tissue necrosis, and loosening/breakage of the internal fixation. Regular postoperative review revealed that all patients achieved complete bony union, as evidenced by X-ray film, at 6 months after operation. Knee function (HSS) scores averaged 86.72 points at 1 year after operation; 15 people with 85 points or more, 2 people with 70-84 points, and one with 68 points. The excellent rate, according to HSS was 90%.Conclusions: Complex tibial plateau fractures with extensive soft tissue damage can be effectively remedied with a staged treatment, wherein a lateral column reconstruction is performed using a large iliac bone.

Abstract
Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are associated with defects in the structure and the function of neuromuscular junctions. These rare disorders can result from mutations in the collagenic tail of endplate acetylcholinesterase (COLQ) essentially associated with autosomal recessive inheritance.With the lowered cost of genetic testing and increased access to next-generation sequencing, many mutations have been reported to date. In this study we identified the first COLQ homozygous mutation c.1193T>A in the North African population. This study outlines the genetic and phenotypic features of a CMS patient in a Moroccan family. It also describes a novel COLQ missense mutation associated with CMS-5. COLQ mutations are probably underdiagnosed in these North African populations, this is an issue as CMS-5 may be treated with ephedrine, and albuterol. Indeed, patients can seriously benefit and even recover after the treatment that should be planned according to genetic tests and clinical findings.
