Authors: Rajabi Jalil , Hamidi-Farahani Ramin , Mansouri Feizollah , Soleiman-Meigooni Saeed 
Published: December 2018

Introduction:
Incidence of brucellosis was growing up in Iran during the past years.
Kermanshah province-west of Iran is one of the endemic regions of the disease. The aim of this
study was to evaluate the incidence and risk factors of brucellosis in Kermanshah province during
a recent five-year period.

Methods:
This study was an observational cross-sectional study performed on registries of the patients
with brucellosis at the center for the zoonotic disease of Kermanshah University of medical
sciences during 2010-2014. The data was collected using a questionnaire containing demographic
data and the risk factor of brucellosis. Collected data were analyzed by SPSS-22 software using
descriptive statistic, Chi-square, and student t-test.

Results:
The five-years mean incidence of brucellosis in our study was 46.5 in one hundred thousand,
and male to female ratio was 1.37/1. The most common risk factors of brucellosis in our patients
were unpasteurized dairy products’ consumption (47%) and occupational contact with livestock
(14.4%). 84% of the patients were rural. The most common diagnostic method was the
standard agglutination test within 1/160 and 1/320 titers.

Conclusion:
Risk factors of brucellosis in our study were like other studies, but in more than onethird
of the patients, no risk factor was identified. Lack of livestock vaccination history and incomplete
registered data about other possible transmission routes of transmission were the limitations
of the study.

Published: December 2018

Background:Investigation of rare bleeding disorders in Latin-America.Objective:The report of a new case of FX deficiency due to a compound heterozygosis.Methods:Accepted clotting procedures were used. Sequencing of DNA was carried out by means of Applied Biosystems Instruments.Results:A compound heterozygote due to the association of a new mutation (Gla72Asp) with an already known mutation (Gly154Arg) of the FX gene is reported. The proposita is a 38 year old female who had a moderate bleeding tendency (menorrhagia, epistaxis, easy bruising). The proposita has never received substitution therapy but in the occasion of a uterine biopsy. The mother was asymptomatic but was a heterozygote for the new mutation. The father was asymptomatic but had deserted the family and could not be investigated. After this abandonment the mother of the proposita re-married with an asymptomatic man and she gave birth to a son who was asymptomatic but was also heterozygous for the new mutation (Gla72Asp). As a consequence it has to be assumed that the first husband of the mother of the proposita was heterozygous for the known mutation (Gly154Arg).Conclusion:This is the third case of a new mutation in the FX gene reported, during the past few years, in Argentina.
MMSE Equalization Based Performance of Chaotic Interleaving Scheme for Iterative IDMA System
Authors: Shukla Aasheesh , Bansal Atul , Deolia Vinay Kumar , Veer Karan 
Published: December 2018

Background:
In this paper, a chaotic interleaving scheme is proposed for further performance
improvement of Interleave Division Multiple Access (IDMA). Interleavers are used to generate
permuted sequence of signals to be transmitted with optimum correlation.

Methods:
Random interleaving (RI) was the fundamental taxonomy and used to distinguish the different
users in IDMA scheme. The logistic map based chaotic interleaving scheme is suggested for
IDMA. The system is also combined with Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) equalizer to combat
the effect of Inter Symbol Interference (ISI).

Results:
For the sake of simplicity, no pulse shaping is assumed at the transmitter and ISI channel is
considered to be a fixed 3 tap channel. Simulations are performed in MATLAB. BPSK modulation is
used. Furthermore, the results show that the IDMA with proposed logistic map based chaotic
interleaver outperforms the traditional random interleaving scheme in terms of BER without the need
of extra memory and computational complexity.

Conclusion:
The obtained results show the noticeable performance improvement of CI-IDMA with
MMSE equalization in deep fading situations. Chaos based interleaver also offers other advantages
such as less requirement of memory and small implementation complexity.

Repeated Aluminum Sulfate Recovery from Waterworks Sludge: A Case Study in El‐Sheikh Zaid WTP
Authors: Fouad Mahmoud M. , Razek Taha M. A. , El‐Gendy Ahmed S. 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACTAlthough surface water treatment presents a good solution for pollutants in rivers and freshwater lakes, the purification process itself presents a great threat to the aquatic environment through aluminum waste disposal. Recent studies have introduced coagulants recovery from treatment sludge as a green solution for waste handling and cost reduction. This article aims to evaluate repeated aluminum coagulants recovery from sludge using sulfuric acid. The waste from El‐Sheikh Zaid Water Treatment Plant (ESZ‐WTP) was characterized, then sequential coagulants recovery using optimum conditions was conducted. In addition, treated water was analyzed to determine the efficiency of the obtained coagulants and their influence on treated water quality. Sequential coagulants recovery using acidification revealed that no metals accumulation took place in the produced coagulants until the third recovery from ESZ‐WTP sludge. On the other hand, a noticeable increase in trihalomethanes was detected in the treated water, especially using the third recovered coagulant. In conclusion, sequential coagulants recovery and usage in water treatment is an attractive alternative for single‐use original coagulant in ESZ‐WTP but for no more than three sequential recoveries. It is advisable to apply a fresh coagulant every three sequential recoveries to enrich the aluminum content and regenerate the sludge before restarting the recovery process.

Published: December 2018

Background
An increasing number of studies are concerned with various aspects of cybersex addiction, the difficulty some persons have in limiting cybersex use despite a negative impact on everyday life.

Objective
The aim of this study was to assess potential links between the outcome variable cybersex addiction, assessed with the Compulsive Internet Use Scale (CIUS) adapted for cybersex use, and several psychological and psychopathological factors, including sexual desire, mood, attachment style, impulsivity, and self-esteem, by taking into account the age, sex, and sexual orientation of cybersex users.

Methods
A Web-based survey was conducted in which participants were assessed for sociodemographic variables and with the following instruments: CIUS adapted for cybersex use, Sexual Desire Inventory, and Short Depression-Happiness Scale. Moreover, attachment style was assessed with the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised questionnaire (Anxiety and Avoidance subscales). Impulsivity was measured by using the Urgency, Premeditation (lack of), Perseverance (lack of), Sensation Seeking, Positive Urgency Impulsive Behavior Scale. Global self-esteem was assessed with the 1-item Self-Esteem Scale.

Results
A sample of 145 subjects completed the study. Addictive cybersex use was associated with higher levels of sexual desire, depressive mood, avoidant attachment style, and male gender but not with impulsivity.

Conclusions
Addictive cybersex use is a function of sexual desire, depressive mood, and avoidant attachment.

Desa Hajoran di Kabupaten Tapanuli Tengah merupakan daerah pesisir pantai dengan potensi besar di sektor perikanan khususnya perikanan laut. Nelayan Hajoran menggunakan susunan bambu berbentuk segi empat berukuran 10m x 10m yang ditancapkan di tengah perairan untuk menangkap ikan. Ikan hasil tangkapan sebagian dijual dalam kondisi segar sedangkan sebagian lainnya diasinkan. Ikan yang telah diasinkan hanya dijual bagian badannya sedangkan bagian kepala ikan asin akan dicacah menjadi lebih kecil oleh perajin. Proses pencacahan dilakukan menggunakan parang dengan postur kerja duduk membungkuk, lutut terlipat dan telapak kaki tertekuk. Perajin mengeluhkan sakit pada pergelangan tangan, bahu, pinggang, pantat dan lutut sehingga kesulitan untuk dapat segera berdiri setelah proses pencacahan selesai. Perajin cacahan ikan memberikan masukan dalam bentuk kuesioner SNQ untuk menganalisa keluhan mereka selama ini. Kegiatan tersebut membutuhkan waktu yang lama, kualitas cacahan ikan yang tidak seragam, kapasitas produksi yang rendah serta menimbulkan rasa sakit pada anggota tubuh. Kegiatan pengadian pada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan produktivitas perajin cacahan ikan. Upaya yang dilakukan adalah pendampingan oleh tim ergonomi, pemberian materi berupa ceramah, pelatihan penggunaan fasilitas kerja ergonomis dan penyempurnaan metode kerja sehingga dibutuhkan partisipasi aktif perajin. Pemanfaatan alat pencacah ikan mekanis merupakan solusi untuk meningkatkan produktivitas perajin cacahan ikan. Cacahan ikan yang dihasilkan akan memiliki kehalusan yang dapat diatur, kualitas yang terjaga, waktu yang singkat serta disain yang ergonomis. Perbaikan metode kerja yang dilakukan tim pengabdian menyebabkan perajin dapat bekerja lebih nyaman sehingga terjadi peningkatan produktivitas.

Published: December 2018

The volume of data in today's applications has meant a change in the way Machine Learning issues are addressed. Indeed, the Big Data scenario involves scalability constraints that can only be achieved through intelligent model design and the use of distributed technologies. In this context, solutions based on the Spark platform have established themselves as a de facto standard.
In this contribution, we focus on a very important framework within Big Data Analytics, namely classification with imbalanced datasets. The main characteristic of this problem is that one of the classes is underrepresented, and therefore it is usually more complex to find a model that identifies it correctly. For this reason, it is common to apply preprocessing techniques such as oversampling to balance the distribution of examples in classes.
In this work we present SMOTE-BD, a fully scalable preprocessing approach for imbalanced classification in Big Data. It is based on one of the most widespread preprocessing solutions for imbalanced classification, namely the SMOTE algorithm, which creates new synthetic instances according to the neighborhood of each example of the minority class. Our novel development is made to be independent of the number of partitions or processes created to achieve a higher degree of efficiency. Experiments conducted on different standard and Big Data datasets show the quality of the proposed design and implementation.
