Published: March 2024

Abstract

Accurate and efficient energy management in residential and commercial buildings can be achieved by providing real-time monitoring of appliances and providing detailed insight to consumers about their consumption behaviors. These insights identify energy wastage and support demand-side management. Non-intrusive load monitoring provides disaggregated energy information of target appliances by observing the feature variations in aggregate demand. Nowadays, most residential appliances are non-linear and draw non-sinusoidal currents, therefore employing fundamental active and reactive power as input features results in degraded performance of load identification algorithms. To deal with this drawback, this research proposes an improved load identification method which incorporates the fundamental and harmonic characteristics of current and voltage besides the active power and reactive power features. In this work, 21 features computed by IEEE standard 1459, harmonic energy distribution, wavelet transformation, spectral flatness measures, etc. are analyzed for appliance recognition. To select the prominent features, regularized neighborhood component analysis (NCA) is applied. The selected features are then applied to boosted tree classifier (BTC). The proposed load identification approach is validated using high-frequency start-up events of appliances from WHITED and COOLL datasets. Results obtained by the proposed technique surpass various recent techniques in classifying various appliance activations.

Abstract
Background
Although cystic fibrosis (CF) is widely considered a lung disease, the prevalence of CF-specific gastrointestinal symptoms and diseases has continued to rise. Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) has not been well-studied among people with CF (PwCF) and may be a common cause of abdominal symptoms. In PwCF, impaired bicarbonate secretion and unbuffered gastric acid production have been attributed to the development of ulcers, although ulcers remain uncommon. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of PUD in PwCF and assess for possible contributing factors.
Methods
This study utilized the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. All patients 18 years or older with CF were identified from 2014 to 2019. Relevant patient characteristics and procedures were identified using ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes. Linear trend, bivariate analyses, and multiple regression analysis were performed. The outcomes of interest were peptic ulcer disease, pancreatic insufficiency, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or NASH. All analyses accounted for complex sampling scheme of the NIS.
Results
The total prevalence of PwCF in the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was 0.08%, and the number was stable year to year from 2014 to 2019. Hispanic patients were more likely to be diagnosed with PUD than other white (aOR 1.802 [1.311,2.476]). Multiple regression analysis indicated that PUD in PwCF was strongly associated with a diagnosis of NASH (aOR 2.421[1.197, 4.898]). PUD patients were less likely to have pancreatic insufficiency compared to the non-PUD group (aOR 0.583 [0.455, 0.745]). All outcomes were adjusted for the use of proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers, and NSAIDs.
Conclusion
Although cystic fibrosis has been historically known as a disease of childhood, advancements in therapy have led to prolonged life expectancy and higher prevalence for cystic fibrosis-related digestive diseases. This study revealed a low prevalence of PUD in PwCF. Hispanics and those with NASH are more likely to develop peptic ulcers. To validate these findings, additional multi-center prospective studies are warranted.

How best to diagnose in-home mould exposure: The validity and accuracy of self-reported measures
Authors: Li Ang , Toll Mathew , Candido Christhina , Bentley Rebecca 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Mould growth is indicative of unhealthy indoor environments and, with a warming climate, increasingly poses a health risk. Understanding the prevalence and scope of the exposure largely relies on resident self-diagnosis; yet there is little guidance on how to optimise self-reported measures of mould in homes to achieve more accurate diagnosis of exposure. We compared the predictive performance of a range of self-reported measures that varied by their vernacular, framing, reference period, and severity of mould to be identified, against measures of mould taken from dust samples in 100 homes and analyzed using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) tests. Kappa and areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) statistics were used to test the validity and accuracy of self-diagnosis of domestic mould. We find moderate agreement between self-reported and lab tested mould measures. Occupants tended to overestimate the presence of mould when asked about visible mould and suspicion of mould and to underestimate the presence of mould when asked about mould size, odour, dampness, and water damage. Identification of visible mould had the highest sensitivity while identification of mould larger than an A4 sheet of paper had the highest specificity. Combining self-reported visible mould and mould size achieved the best accuracy. When using self-rated mould severity (no, mild, moderate, or severe mould), grouping mild, moderate, and severe mould best detected actual mould presence. Prediction accuracy also varies by occupant sociodemographic and residential factors, with older age, lower household income, and major plumbing problems associated with better accuracy of self-diagnosed mould.

Researching Affect Multilingually: Body Mapping as Method
Authors: Heinrichs Danielle H. , Hameed Suraiya , Parada Carla Tapia 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Language and linguistic research takes a keen interest in the emotional and affective factors that influence language learning. Traditionally, affect and emotion in language and linguistic research has drawn on surveys and questionnaires in attempts to measure, quantify and list pre-determined affects and emotions, often with great overlap between the two concepts. As a result, affect and emotion in language and linguistic research have been psychologized and organized into opposing categories (e.g. positive and negative). More recently, there has been growing interest in the complex ways in which affect, and emotion defy the these opposing categories and pre-determined lists and the embodied nature of emotion and affect. However, this has been difficult to explore with prior methods. In this paper, we explore the potential of body mapping: a method of tracing the outline of one’s body and decorating it (with words/images/painting etc.) emotions and affects related to speaking languages. This acts as an alternative and extension to a well-established method in language and linguistic research: language portraits. Language portraits focus on locating languages on the body, by inviting participants to engage with the senses they relate to speaking languages and map these sensations on the body using their full linguistic repertoire, or all their languages. It also builds on the body mapping method which originally began in health research by explicitly focusing on the role of language in sparking affects and emotion. This case study shares examples from students learning Spanish in Australia and the affects they sense when speaking Spanish and offer examples of students speaking Chinese in the Singapore context. Challenges included troubles with translating particular terms for which we offer suggestions pertaining to the inclusion of multilingual strategies in research.

Abstract
Lupinus luteus is a grain legume crop of agricultural importance due to its high seed protein content. In this study, the first chromosome-scale genome assembly of L. luteus (962.97 Mb) is presented, integrating data from Illumina, PacBio, and Hi-C platforms. The assembly exhibits exceptional completeness (98.9% BUSCO score) and a high repetition rate (76.15%). Genomic annotation identifies 36,884 protein-coding genes, including 2,492 transcription factors and 23 microRNA families. Synteny analysis with lupin species reveals important chromosomal rearrangements, indicating complex interactions between conserved regions and structural variations. Our analyses suggest that chromosome 8 may have originated from a translocation event involving two chromosomes during the speciation of L. luteus. Orthologous group characterization between L. luteus and related species indicates an enrichment in gene families associated with biotic and abiotic stress responses, secondary metabolism, and nutrient reservoir activity. Moreover, 911 resistance (R) genes are identified, highlighting their importance in pathogen defence. Exploration of alkaloid biosynthesis and regulation reveals 16 genes associated with quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs) with expression analysis revealing tissue-specific expression patterns for key enzymes in QA biosynthesis. Furthermore, secondary metabolite transporters are explored, including a Lupinus angustifolius PUP1 ortholog, providing insights into QA translocation mechanisms. This comprehensive genome analysis provides valuable resources for further understanding the genetic basis of important traits in Lupinus luteus, facilitating advancements in crop adaptation, improvement, and sustainability.

Implicating the effects of consuming water with a high level of arsenic content: highlighting the cause and consequences of arsenic contamination in drinking water
Authors: Verma Sumant Kumar , Chaurasia ShriRam 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Contamination of groundwater due to arsenic (As) and problems faced by drinking the contaminated water have been identified worldwide. The integration of biogeochemical processes has led to the dissolution of naturally occurring As into the groundwater. The goal of this investigation is mainly to determine the presence of As in drinking water and consequences faced by human beings by drinking such contaminated water. Scope of this issue has not yet undergone a full epidemiological examination in any Indian region. However, in India, little is known about the disease caused by arsenicosis. Therefore, the present study discusses various natural and anthropogenic sources of As in groundwater involving its speciation and mobilization pattern in groundwater. Appropriate review on the issues of As contamination in groundwater has been conducted in various regions across the globe followed by the epidemiology and toxicity mechanisms of As in human beings. Various remediation techniques have been adopted for mitigating the major impact of As contamination depending upon the conventional, modern, and hybrid technologies for removing the As from several regions of India.

Published: March 2024

This research is motivated by the low participation of students of SMP Negeri 1 Sigumpar in participating in the scientific work competition which is their own innovation. All this time, many people think that the students from the countryside are uncreative and difficult to make innovation, and also some people think that the students of Junior High School are too early to start the research. According to Bloom and Anderson‘s taxonomy, creative competence is not only for the high school level, but has started even at the elementary school level. By learning to create something out of materials that exist in the surroundings, the construction of the child's thinking will be formed and will be increasingly critical and innovative. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)-based learning really needs to be empowered from an early age. This is in accordance with the demands for independent learning that the government is currently planning. STEM-based learning makes students free to be creative and apply their ideas and creations. This research was conducted at SMP N 1 Sigumpar with the aim of finding out whether the application of the project-based learning model on the subject was effective. Nature can be a material for students' innovative work and improve student learning outcomes. The method of this research used a quasi-experimental research design with one group pretest – posttest design. The data collection method that used in this study was a questionnaire, questions and observations in class VIII A as many as 30 students. Data analysis was carried out by descriptive and qualitative. The results showed that the project-based learning increases student creativity and learning results. So that this learning method is very good to be applied because based on the experience of students the more enthusiastic about learning.Keywords : Project, Learning, STEM, Creative
