Preservation synthetically or naturally is intended to extend the storability of tomato and red chili. Sambiloto (A. paniculata [Burm.f] Nees) is containing saponins that has anti-bacterial properties, therefore can be used as a preservative. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the extract of sambiloto leaf can be used as a natural preservative for tomato and red chili, and to determine the concentration of extract of sambiloto leaf which was effectively used as the preservative. The method used in this study was maceration to produce extract and iodometric titration to determine the levels of vitamin C before and after preservation. The results showed that the pickling tomatoes and red chili using extract of sambiloto leaf with a concentration of 6% sustained tomates up to 9 days and red chilies up to 11 days. Level of vitamin C contained in tomato was decreasing from 39.9 mg/100g to 37.54 mg/100g of material while red chilli is decreasing from 79.78 mg/100g to 72.74 mg/100g of material.

Published: April 2017

Abstract-A myriad of research have listed organisational commitment, reduced employee turnover, increased productivity amongst others, as some of the benefits of employee participation in management. Some studies on employee participation, however,indicates that, employees are generally reluctant to use formal avenues created for them to contribute to management. This is especially so because management mostly uses such formal avenues for a top-down information transfer. Also, employees have the fear of being victimised if they raise issuesof concern thatboarders on the use of finance or on something they assume may be offending to management during such meetings.
In Ghana, the high annual accident and injury claims made by employees from the manufacturing industry requires urgent action by manufacturing organisations. Legislature on occupational safety and health (OSH) is scattered, with different oversight agencies, inadequate enforcement,and the absence of laws that require the establishment of a health and safety committee which is standard practice in mostdeveloped jurisdictions.In the light of the weak OSH legal and regulatory framework, coupled with the fact that employees feel reluctant to report their safety predicaments during formal meetings, it is important that management and employees create the necessary environment for employees to participate in safety management. Indeed, studies suggest that the existence of such informal avenues in organisations for employee participation in management decision making will enable open discussions on employee safety issues and therefore lead to the prioritisation of OSH in those organisations.
Nevertheless, research indicates that informal participation has received little research attention especially with regards to Ghana. This study makes a case for the use of informal participation in ensuring safety in manufacturing companies in Ghana.

Abstract--The study explores how consumers react differently when companies introduce new products. The study focus on the hedonic consumption as an approach for consumer behavior. It examines the demographic and psychographic characteristics that illustrate consumer hedonic consumption. The study employs VALS framework to understand consumer reaction and propensity to innovation and adopts Rogers' five steps framework (1) to clarify consumer adoption to innovation. The statistical sample consists of 420 UAE consumers drawn randomly from the market and universities and colleges. The results indicate that some demographic and psychographic characteristics have significant relationship with consumer hedonic consumption and new product adoption.
Early Recognition of Alzheimer’s Disease using Brain MRI
Authors: Birry Rania Ahmed Kadry Abdel Gawad 
Published: April 2017

Abstract—Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. It represents a major public health problem. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) have shown that the brains of people with (AD) shrink significantly as the disease progresses. This shrinkage appears in specific brain regions such as the hippocampus which is a small, curved formation in the brain that plays an important role in the limbic system also involved in the formation of new memories and is also associated with learning and emotions. Medical information on brain MRI is used in detecting the abnormalities in physiological structures. Structural MRI measurements can detect and follow the evolution of brain atrophy which is a marker of the disease progression; therefore, it allows diagnosis and prediction of AD. The research’s main target is the early recognition of Alzheimer’s disease automatically, which will thereby avoid deterioration of the case resulting in complete brain damage stage. Alzheimer’s disease yields visible changes in the brain structures. The aim is to recognize if the patient belongs to Alzheimer’s disease category or a normal healthy person at an early stage.
Initially, image pre-processing and features extraction techniques are applied including data reduction using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Cropping, then traditional classification techniques like Euclidean Distance, Chebyshev Distance, Cosine Distance, City Block Distance, and Black pixel counter, were applied on the resulting vectors for classification. Image pre-processing includes noise reduction, Gray-scale conversion and binary scale conversion were applied for the MRI images. Feature extraction techniques follow including cropping and low spatial frequency components (DCT). This paper aims to automatically recognize and detect Alzheimer’s infected brain using MRI, without the need of clinical expert. This early recognition would be helpful to postpone the disease progression and maintain it at an almost steady stage. It was concluded after collecting a dataset of 50 MRI , 25 for normal MRI and 25 for AD MRI that Chebyshev Distance classifier yielded the highest success rate in the recognition of Alzheimer’s disease with accuracy 94% compared to other classification techniques used where, Euclidean Distance is 91.6%, Cosine Distance is 86.8%, City block Distance is 89.6%, Correlation Distance is 86.4% and Black pixels counter is 90%.
Persian Mining Product (PMP) Is Future of Iranian Minerals Branding
Authors: Tehrani Keyvan Jafari , Jafari Homa Moayed 
Published: April 2017

Abstract— This electronic document is browsing across history of Iranian minerals export to clarify the key factors which helped to achieve the success or loose the chance on the subject. Iran with great reserve of minerals which consisting of 68 types has a great potential to substitute minerals export income instead of oil. This is the same scenario that Kingdom of Saudi Arabia also is planning to do so.
To achieve this goal, need more attention and focus on mining activities such as exploration, extraction, production, processing of ore as well as export. During a last decade which Iran imposed under tremendous and hard European and United States sanctions, had less chance and hope to follow up this plan. But since beginning 2016 which the most of trading and business sanctions have been removed, Iran not only can equip its mines by brand new machinery and technology but may get much better interest from foreign mining companies and investors to do finance or invest as FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in Iranian mines.
Iran needs by proper planning increase share of GDP for mining production from some existing figure below 1% to above 5% to rely less on oil income, which has already had a share of 23% in Iran’s GDP.
We believe to bypass this road need to create a professional brand for Iranian minerals. Hereby we are introducing for the first time a new abbreviation for branding of Iranian minerals named PMP (Persian Mining Product) as a solution for this purpose.

Published: April 2017

Abstract— Sentiment Analysis is the analysis of emotions and opinions in a given text using Natural Language Processing. It helps in understanding the user attitude and feelings by analyzing reviews/comments posted by people through social media, blogs etc. Internet availability has given us an easier way of accessing the information and expressing our opinions on various topics or products. These reviews are of immense importance to the targeted organization since they largely affect the outlook of the organization. People tend to consider these reviews when purchasing or using a product. This paper aims to analyze the user's sentiment in the form of free text by extracting the opinionated or sentiment words from the sentences using various techniques. They are further classified into positive or negative sentiment words and are grouped under various categories using a sentiment dictionary based on which every word will be assigned a weight. The major refinement in the proposed system is the estimation of different feature weights for evaluation of overall sentiment score and this increases the accuracy by a huge margin. The average of all the values is computed and the review is rated on a scale of 1 to 5 indicating the sentiment of the user. The sentiment score in addition to providing the user feedback also gives us an insight into the various features and helps an enterprise to focus on improving the below average features to boost the product on the whole.

Abstract— There is no doubt that provision of security and safety is from the main objectives of the new urban planning, due to its impact on the individual and society, because of that the architects try to solve this problem throw an environmental design which called crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED). We will discuss in this study the design strategies for this way of design starting from the single family homes passing throw all neighborhood's units tell we reach to the economic and industrial buildings. We will discuss too some exterior and interior physical security procedures, modern technologies used to protect people against intruders, the procedures of the government to secure residential areas and how can the architecture help them doing their work. After finishing the design and implementation procedures, we list some of CPTED implementation benefits and problems, and offer some additional recommendations for people who will live in these places to enhance their feeling with safety and security.
We find after consider all CPTED design benefits that it offer more safe and beautiful place for people to live in and it reduce the total cost of buildings since it use saving lighting system, building material and we will need less amount of physical security systems (CCTV, EAC,..) which are very expensive. The researcher taking into his account a lot of CPTED principals during design Future City project to make safe and secure city.
“Lo que queremos es que salgan los blancos y las tropas”. Yaquis y mexicanos en tiempos de revolución (1910-1920)
Authors: Cárdenas García Nicolás 
Published: April 2017

Este artículo analiza la relación entre el pueblo yaqui y los revolucionarios mexicanos. Esta relación fue compleja y difícil, en parte por la larga y cruel guerra que le precedió, y en parte porque se trataba de actores colectivos no homogéneos. Madero y otros revolucionarios reconocieron la justicia de los reclamos yaquis y la injusticia de la política porfirista, pero fueron incapaces de encontrar una solución pacífica al problema, puesto que no podían aceptar la demanda central de los yaquis: la salida de su territorio de los blancos y sus tropas. A la postre, los revolucionarios mantuvieron en líneas generales la política precedente, es decir, una mezcla de guerra, colonización y ocupación militar. Y, aunque cada vez más desestructurado y dividido, una parte del pueblo yaqui continuó resistiendo a esa política.

The bryological herbarium of Noël-Antoine Aunier (1781-1859) at the lycée Ampère (Lyon, France)
An herbarium kept at the lycée Ampère was attributed with doubts to Aunier, one of the founders of the Société linnéenne de Lyon. A reappraisal of this herbarium confirms it was gathered by Noël-Antoine Aunier. Although the preservation is good, several collects are missing. Despite this, the herbarium has an interest in contributing to the establishment of the yet undone Rhône department bryophyte catalog.

PROCEDIMENTOS DE MANUTENÇÃO PADRÃO PARA ATIVIDADES E SERVIÇOS EM ELETRICIDADE E SEU PAPEL NA PREVENÇÃO DE ACIDENTES DO TRABALHO.
Authors: Albuquerque Daniel Ferreira , Neto Odilon Carreiro de Almeida 
Published: April 2017

O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar os procedimentos padrões de segurança em relação a serviços com eletricidade com o escopo de reduzir o alto índice de acidentes de trabalho. Quando há um ambiente de trabalho que envolve eletricidade direta ou indiretamente ou ainda em sua proximidade é necessário adotar medidas para que o risco não se torne um acidente. Os serviços que envolvem eletricidade são potenciais causadores de riscos ao trabalhador, o qual está sujeito quando opera com eletricidade, mesmo que se trate de instalação elétrica de baixa tensão. O contato com o corpo e as partes energizadas de uma instalação elétrica de baixa tensão produz o chamado “choque elétrico”, e se for de alta tensão, têm-se o “arco elétrico” que precede de contato, e em geral, leva à morte. Nesta conjuntura, a Norma Brasileira NR-10 tem o condão de adequar os procedimentos de trabalho, a formalização dos papéis e responsabilidades dos profissionais envolvidos, e a prática das medidas de controle dos riscos. Assim, este trabalho tem a finalidade de realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a Norma Regulamentadora NR-10 e analisar e aplicar procedimentos padrões relacionando com o atual cenário de segurança no trabalho.

Published: April 2017

Objective.To examine the clinical correlates and survival in patients with antifibrillarin antibodies (AFA) in a large international study population consisting of well-characterized systemic sclerosis (SSc) cohorts from Canada, Australia, and the United States.Methods.Baseline clinical data from the prospective cohorts (Canadian Scleroderma Research Group, the Australian Scleroderma Cohort Study, and the American Genetics versus Environment in Scleroderma Outcome Study) were investigated. Clinical variables were harmonized and sera were tested for AFA using a commercially available SSc profile line immunoassay, regardless of the immunofluorescence staining pattern. Association of demographic and clinical features with AFA was investigated by logistic or linear regression. Further, a survival analysis was performed by Cox regression analysis.Results.A total of 1506 patients with SSc with complete serological profiles were included in the study. Fifty-two patients (3.5%) had antibodies detected against fibrillarin. Patients of African descent and Native North American ethnicity were more likely to be AFA-positive compared with other ethnicities. After adjustment for demographic factors, diffuse involvement, and intestinal bacterial overgrowth requiring antibiotics, gastrointestinal reflux disease showed a trend for association with AFA. Further, AFA positivity was associated with shorter survival independently of demographic factors and disease type (HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.11–2.79, p = 0.016).Conclusion.In this large multinational SSc cohort, AFA was associated with Native American ethnicity and was an independent predictor of mortality.

Published: April 2017

Objective.(1) To determine convergent validity of an activity diary (AD) and accelerometer (Actical brand/Phillips-Respironics) in measuring physical activity (PA) in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). (2) To determine how many days give reliable results. (3) To analyze effects of correcting accelerometer data for non-wear.Methods.Patients with JIA (8–13 yrs) were recruited from 3 Dutch pediatric rheumatology centers. PA was assessed for 7 days with an AD and accelerometer, and was expressed as mean min/day of rest, light PA (LPA), moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA), and PA level (PAL). To analyze convergent validity, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated and paired sample Student t tests were performed. The required number of days to achieve reliable results was calculated using the Spearman-Brown prophecy formula.Results.Convergent validity between AD and accelerometer was moderate for rest and PAL (ICC 0.41). ICC for LPA and MVPA were < 0.24. AD overestimated PAL and MVPA compared with the accelerometer. Wearing the accelerometer 7–19 days gave reliable PA estimates on group and individual levels. For the AD, 13–36 days were needed. Adjusting accelerometer data for non-wear resulted in a clinically relevant higher mean number of min/day spent in LPA (effect size 1.12), but not in MVPA (effect size 0.44).Conclusion.Convergent validity between AD and accelerometer is moderate to poor. In children with JIA, 1-week assessment with an accelerometer is sufficient to measure PA (all levels) reliably. On an individual level and for clinical use, 3 weeks are required. Additional use of AD enables correction for non-wear of accelerometer data.

Published: April 2017

Objective.To compare submaximal exercise capacity in patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) with controls, and analyze contributions of muscle, heart, and lung impairment in patients.Methods.Fifty-nine patients with JDM, with a mean 16.9 years after symptom onset, and 59 sex- and age-matched controls completed a 6-min walk test (6MWT) and a timed up and go (TUG) test. Muscle function, disease activity/damage, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) were assessed by validated tools; heart function by echocardiography and electrocardiography; and lung function by spirometry, DLCO, and body plethysmography. A thoracic high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging of the thighs were completed in patients.Results.The 6MWT distance (6MWD) was 592 ± 81 m in patients versus 649 ± 79 m in controls (p < 0.001), and 563 ± 75 m in active versus 622 ± 76 m in inactive JDM (p = 0.004). The TUG time was 13.1 ± 2.1 s in patients versus 12.3 ± 2.0 s in controls (p = 0.034), and 13.7 ± 2.2 s in active versus 12.5 ± 1.8 s in inactive JDM (p = 0.028). No statistically significant difference was found between inactive JDM and controls in either test. In patients, the Childhood Myositis Assessment Score influenced the 6MWD and TUG time the most, followed by a low DLCO and HRCT pathology in the 6MWT and forced vital capacity in the TUG test. Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 physical component summary correlated strongly with both tests.Conclusion.Submaximal exercise capacity was reduced in patients with JDM, particularly those with active disease. This reduction was associated with muscle and lung dysfunction and poorer HRQOL.
