Quantifying Tongue Tip Shape in Apical and Laminal /s/: Contributions of Palate Shape
Authors: Stone Maureen , Gomez Arnold D. , Zhuo Jiachen , Tchouaga Ange Lydie , Prince Jerry L. 
Published: August 2019

PurposeAnterior tongue shape during /s/ production is often described as “tip-up” or apical, versus “tip-down” or laminal. Typically, this is determined by observing the shape of the anterior midline tongue. The purpose of this study was to identify methods of curvature calculation that quantify the observed shape differences and to examine whether the shape differences were affected by palate shape. Previous work shows that palate height has some effect (Grimm et al., 2017).MethodFour curvature-based measures were applied to a series of points selected along the tongue surface in midsagittal cine magnetic resonance images during speech. The measures were minimal curvature, averaged largest curvature (ALC), normalized ALC, and interpolated normalized ALC. These measures were compared to visual judgments of apical and laminal /s/. Anterior palate shape was measured from dental casts.ResultsThe apical /s/ contained a flat or concave region in the anterior tongue, while the laminal /s/ had a convex shape along the entire tongue. Thus, the laminal shape was less complex than the apical. The last 2 metrics, based on averages of multiple normalized curvatures, captured this complexity difference. Subjects with a more steeply sloped anterior palate tended to use laminal /s/.ConclusionsThe tongue shape for the 2 /s/ types was best defined by complexity of the shape, rather than local anterior shape. Statistical quantities that measured curvature in multiple locations, and normalized across subjects, were best at distinguishing the 2 /s/ shapes. Interpolating additional points between the manually selected ones did not improve the method.Supplemental Materialhttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.9733709
Improvement in prediction of antigenic epitopes using stacked generalisation: an ensemble approach
Authors: Khanna Divya , Rana Prashant Singh 
Published: August 2019

The major intent of peptide vaccine designs, immunodiagnosis and antibody productions is to accurately identify linear B‐cell epitopes. The determination of epitopes through experimental analysis is highly expensive. Therefore, it is desirable to develop a reliable model with significant improvement in prediction models. In this study, a hybrid model has been designed by using stacked generalisation ensemble technique for prediction of linear B‐cell epitopes. The goal of using stacked generalisation ensemble approach is to refine predictions of base classifiers and to get rid of the worse predictions. In this study, six machine learning models are fused to predict variable length epitopes (6–49 mers). The proposed ensemble model achieves 76.6% accuracy and average accuracy of repeated 10‐fold cross‐validation is 73.14%. The trained ensemble model has been tested on the benchmark dataset and compared with existing sequential B‐cell epitope prediction techniques including APCpred, ABCpred, BCpred and .
Effect of oxygen deficiency on vis‐light photocatalytic activity in AZO
Authors: Sun Xiaohui , Du Hong 
Published: August 2019

Aluminium (Al)‐doped zinc oxide (ZnO) photocatalyst with surface oxygen vacancies was synthesised by one‐step hydrothermal method. The oxygen vacancies drawn into ZnO surface by Al doping can effectively enhance visible (vis)‐light photocatalytic activity. The crystal structure, chemical composition and morphology of Al‐doped ZnO (AZO) photocatalysts were characterised by X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The optical property was characterised by ultraviolet–vis diffuse reflectance spectra. High‐resolution TEM and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra mainly confirm the existence of oxygen vacancies on the ZnO surface. Oxygen vacancies result in a narrowing of the bandgap (Eg = 2.92 eV) and an increase in the vis‐light absorption of the sample. AZO sample exhibits good cycling stability, and no obvious decrease in the photocatalytic activity was observed even after four cycles.

Main RecommendationThere is a need for well-organized comprehensive strategies to achieve good training in ESD. In this context, the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) have developed a European core curriculum for ESD practice across Europe with the aim of high quality ESD training.Advanced endoscopy diagnostic practice is advised before initiating ESD training. Proficiency in endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and adverse event management is recommended before starting ESD trainingESGE discourages the starting of initial ESD training in humans. Practice on animal and/or ex vivo models is useful to gain the basic ESD skills. ESGE recommends performing at least 20 ESD procedures in these models before human practice, with the goal of at least eight en bloc complete resections in the last 10 training cases, with no perforation. ESGE recommends observation of experts performing ESD in tertiary referral centers. Performance of ESD in humans should start on carefully selected lesions, ideally small ( < 30 mm), located in the antrum or in the rectum for the first 20 procedures. Beginning human practice in the colon is not recommended. ESGE recommends that at least the first 10 human ESD procedures should be done under the supervision of an ESD-proficient endoscopist.Endoscopists performing ESD should be able to correctly estimate the probability of performing a curative resection based on the characteristics of the lesion and should know the benefit/risk relationship of ESD when compared with other therapeutic alternatives. Endoscopists performing ESD should know how to interpret the histopathology findings of the ESD specimen, namely the criteria for low risk resection (“curative”), local risk resection, and high risk resection (“non-curative”), as well as their implications. ESD should be performed only in a setting where early and delayed complications can be managed adequately, namely with the possibility of admitting patients to a ward, and access to appropriate emergency surgical teams for the organ being treated with ESD.
Ethnic Rhinoplasty
Authors: Cobo Roxana 
Published: August 2019

AbstractEthnic rhinoplasty traditionally has been used to define this surgical procedure performed on non-Caucasian patients. Because of globalization, massive migrations, and interracial mixing, ethnic patients today are considered mixed race patients. Surgical techniques should be based not on what ethnic group they belong to but on anatomical findings and patients' needs and wishes. Preservation techniques are presented and structural approaches are discussed using sutures and grafts. The final objectives of rhinoplasty are better definition, more refined appearance, and compliance with patients' aesthetic ideals while preserving function.

Published: August 2019

Objective The aim of this study was to report the surgical technique, associated complications and clinical outcome of elbow arthrodesis using a medially positioned plate.
Study Design This was a retrospective case series.
Results Six cases met the inclusion criteria. In all cases, the elbow was approached medially without the requirement for ulnar osteotomy. A non-locking 2.7/3.5- mm pre-contoured elbow arthrodesis plate was applied in 5/6 cases and a 2.0-mm String of Pearls plate applied in one case. The mean angle of arthrodesis was 118° (range: 113–130°). One major intraoperative complication occurred. Three minor and 3 major postoperative complications occurred. Postoperative imaging was available for 5/6 cases. Complete arthrodesis was confirmed by imaging in 4/5 cases, partial progression of arthrodesis was documented in 1/5 cases and no further images were deemed necessary. Postoperative Liverpool Osteoarthritis in Dogs score was available for two cases with scores of 20/52 and 10/52, respectively. Subjective outcomes in the remaining three cases were rated as acceptable more than 1 year postoperatively.
Conclusion Positioning the plate medially for elbow arthrodesis simplified the surgical approach, could be performed with a pre-contoured plate and allowed successful revision of an arthrodesis previously stabilized with a caudally positioned plate. The cases in this series had acceptable outcomes despite a high risk of complications.

Published: August 2019

AbstractFamily-centered care (FCC) is one of the important elements of care in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The aim of this study was to understand the nurses' perception of FCC in NICUs. This qualitative study was performed using conventional content analysis. Participants in this study included 18 nurses who were selected by a purposeful method. Semistructured, in-depth and face-to-face interviews were conducted with the participants. All interviews were written down, reviewed, and analyzed. Two categories were identified after the data analysis: (1) prerequisite for providing FCC and (2) parents' participation. Prerequisite for providing FCC consisted of two subcategories namely suitable facilities and adequate personnel. Parents' participation included subcategories of parents: neonate's attachment and parents' training. Nurses' perception of FCC in NICUs can facilitate an appropriate condition for the participation of family members in the care of neonates.

Published: August 2019

AbstractHamate fractures can be treated nonoperatively, with the percutaneous Kirschner wire (K-wire) fixation, or with excision of a fractured hook of the hamate. Screw fixation is less popular owing to the risk of iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury. The aim of this study was to present the functional results of patients with hamate fractures treated with headless compression screws (HCS). The primary outcome was the Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire (MHOQ) after at least 4 months of follow-up. Nine patients were included in this retrospective cohort study. A median MHOQ total score of 67% was reported (interquartile range [IQR]: 44–76). No complications were found during follow-up. HCS fixation is a safe alternative to treat hamate fractures with good functional outcome. This is a Level IV study.

Abstract
Working memory and interpreting expertise are generally acknowledged as two essential factors that affect the
interpreting process. With reference to the compensation model, the independent influences model, and the rich-get-richer model
proposed in cognitive psychology concerning the interplay between working memory and domain expertise, this experimental study, by
varying the delivery speed of the source speech, examines the interplay between working memory and interpreting expertise in the
setting of simultaneous interpreting. This study finds that (1) working memory and interpreting expertise can each have a positive
impact on simultaneous interpreting quality; (2) other factors being equal, interpreting expertise can have a greater impact on
simultaneous interpreting than working memory, and when the interpreting task proves more challenging, interpreting expertise can
help relieve the pressure triggered by inadequate working memory; (3) working memory and interpreting expertise function
differently in simultaneous interpreting in different stages: for beginner interpreting students, working memory’s contribution to
the quality of simultaneous interpreting is more prominent, while for advanced interpreting students, interpreting expertise plays
a more direct and prominent role, and the composite influence of working memory and interpreting expertise on simultaneous
interpreting performance is weakened due to the increasing impact of other factors.
An overview of cassava mosaic disease and its implications for the productivity of cassava in Sierra Leone.
Authors: Samura A. E. , Fomba S. N. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
This paper provides current information on the importance of cassava, characteristics of cassava farms, distribution of cassava mosaic disease (CMD), management practices and potential of resistant varieties to mitigate against the effects of CMD in Sierra Leone. There is a high prevalence of African cassava mosaic virus in Sierra Leone and East African cassava mosaic virus has also been detected recently. Improvement in the deployment of CMD-resistant varieties has had a positive effect of increasing the area under cultivation of improved varieties. Much has to be done in the area of early detection and diagnosis for the management of CMD. More effort must be placed on the breeding of cassava genotypes that meet the food, traditional and cultural needs of farmers as well as the industrial needs for commercialization.

Published: August 2019

AbstractFootball is a contact sport with a significant risk of injury. Although proprioception is well studied in rehabilitation, little is known about the association between proprioception and the occurrence of sport injuries. The purpose of this study was to look into the association between ankle and knee proprioception and lower extremity injuries in young football players. Seventy‐three football players from the highest U‐21 league in Iran volunteered to participate in this study. Before the start of the 2017–2018 competitive season, joint position sense was measured at 30°, 60° and 90° knee flexion and at 10° and 15° ankle dorsiflexion, and inversion using the Biodex Isokinetic pro 4 system. The teams’ medical staff recorded football‐related lower extremity injuries. We used mixed effects Cox regression models to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs, acknowledging the clustered data structure. Twenty‐two players (30.1%) suffered one or more lower extremity injuries during the season. None of the proprioception measures examined was significantly associated with the risk of lower extremity injuries. Based on these results of our sample, joint position sense does not seem to be associated with lower extremity injuries in young male football players.

Abstract
Linear Diophantine Equation is a polynomial equation with degree 1 and non-zero integer coefficient. The general form of Diophantine Linear equation with 2 variables is ax + by = c with a, b, c ϵ Z and a, b ≠ 0 . This may be stated as congruency ax ≡ b ( mod m) . Therefore, Diophantine Linear equation ax + by = c may be solved if and only if the equivalent of congruency ax ≡ b (mod m ) may be solved. If the Linear Diophantine Equation has solution, the solution will be integer pair x and y which fulfills equation ax + by = c . Differently with Non-linear Diophantine equation, there is no standard method to find the solution. There are 3 possibilities related to the solution of Diophantine equation, either linear or non-linear. The solution may be single solution, multiple solutions or no solution. This research will discuss the solution of non-linear exponential Diophantine equation 13

Multi-Attribute Decision Making Model for Acceptance of Prospective Corporate Employees with Interpolation Method
Authors: Kurnianda Nia Rahma 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
PT PERSADA is one of the companies engaged in the field of labor management. Partner satisfaction is the most important thing for PT PERSADA; therefore in providing maximum service to partners PT. PERSADA, it requires a workforce that can serve the needs of companies with qualifications that can provide maximum benefits and low costs for the company. This can be seen and calculated from the criteria given by the company for the selection process of the prospective employees and of course different in each function of the job required. In supporting PT PERSADA to make decisions on the acceptance of these corporate employees, we propose an evaluation mechanism using the interpolation method. The interpolation method that we use is to convert the criteria value, then give the value of the numeric format after being compared with the minimum requirements of the position. After that we calculated the rating of each criterion per alternative (per candidate) and gave a rating recommendation based on the results of the candidate rating. The final result we got from the assessment mechanism was to get recommendations from prospective corporate employees with high benefits and low costs for the company.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Applications of dynamical systems in chaos theory arising in several areas are investigated and circuital implementations of dynamical systems are studied by many researchers. In this work, we consider the fish-biology dynamical system introduced by Foutayeni and Khaladi (2016). By taking a different set of parameter values, we observe chaos in the Foutayeni-Khaladi fish-biology model and derive a new fish-biology chaotic system. Properties of the new fish-biology chaotic system are analyzed by means of phase portraits, Lyapunov exponents, and Kaplan-Yorke dimension. An electronic circuit realization is shown to validate the chaotic behavior of the new 3-D fish-biology chaotic system. The circuit experimental results of the 3-D fish-biology chaotic system show agreement with numerical simulations.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
We investigate the application of Quarter-Sweep Gauss-Seidel (QSGS) iterative method for solving (SFPDE’s) space-fractional partial diffusion equations with Dirichlet boundary condition. To do this, implicit finite difference scheme and Caputo’s derivative operator are used to discretize one-dimensional linear space-fractional equation to form system of linear equations. Then basic ideas formulation and application of the suggested iterative method are also introduced. Numerical examples of tested problems were carried out to demonstrate advantages of the proposed iterative method beside to the HSGS and FSGS as control method. Based on computational results, the QSGS method is shown to be the most superior than the HSGS and FSGS iterative methods.

Authors: Ruuhwan  , Aristi G 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Information systems in business organizations are very important related to the timeliness and correctness of information needed by users. The first step to building an information system is planning. One methodology in planning information systems is the arrangement of strategic plans carried out using Business System Planning (BSP). This methodology is related to efforts to how information systems must be structured, integrated, and implemented by the organization for a long time. Perjuangan University is a university in Tasikmalaya. Even though Perjuangan University does not have graduates in the current year but for the future processing of graduate data is very important. Graduate have an important role in the development of an educational institution. Because graduate can act as ambassadors that reflect the quality of an educational institution in the public sphere. With the empowerment of good graduate, it can indirectly improve the good image of the alma mater towards the general public. Thus a plan is needed to build an information system tracer study which will be useful to manage graduate data and facilitate the search for graduate data. Steps taken with this methodology are business planning systems that define business goals, business processes, data classes, information architecture and integration. In this apper a prototype will be produced from the Perjuangan University tracer study information system.

Abstract
Students can use social media such as Twitter for online learning (E-Learning). This study aims to analyse an accuracy for the sentiments of students about E-Learning who use Indonesian on Twitter social media both positive and negative opinions. The algorithms used are Naive Bayes (NB). Then to optimize the accuracy of the calculation results, the Particle Swarm Optimization (NB-PSO) approach is used. In order to optimize accurate results, this study uses three experimental sequences (scenario 1, scenario 2, and scenario 2) for both NB and NB-PSO algorithms. Each scenario uses different positive and negative comments. The results of the experiment show that in scenario 1 an increase in accuracy is 10.00% for NB-PSO. Scenario 2 there is an increase in accuracy of 13.33% on NB-PSO. Meanwhile, in scenario 3 an increase in accuracy is 27.22% for NB-PSO. These results prove that the accuracy of NB-PSO is better than NB for all scenarios.
