Can the WEKA Data Mining Tool be Used in Developing an Economic Growth Model?
Authors: Zamir Zahid B 
Published: November 2023

WEKA is a free and open source software program that is written in JAVA™ language and contains GUI for interacting with data files and produces visual results. Although conventional economic theories assert that inflation and economic growth are negatively related, researchers found throughout the last 5 decades using different models and datasets, in favor and against that conventional beliefs. To help predict the expected economic growth or Inflation using 7 attributes such as: war, totch, pssurp, drelief, inflation, invsh, and growth found in the World Bank dataset (link was provided above), three models/algorithms and 2 testing options were used to find out the best model for decision support. As far as the Correlation Coefficient or measurement of how well the predicted values from a forecast model "fit" with the real-life data is concerned, Linear regression algorithm seems to predict the expected growth much better than other two algorithms in this study namely ZeroR and REPTree using both 10 fold cross validation as well as 75 percentage split test options.
Developmental Changes of Axonal Excitability: Refractory Period Measurement in Normal Children.
Authors: Nadeem Ahmed S. M. , Alwan Basim M. , Mezaal Mohammad A. 
Published: November 2023

Background: “The absolute refractory” period is the time interval during which the nerve fiber is in capable of conducting another impulse after a conditioning stimulus and the determination of the refractory period distribution in a nerve can give a good idea about the characteristics of the conducting fibers constituting that nerve as it reflects their excitability and could be used as a sensitive indicator for the ability of the nerve fiber to conduct pairs of closely spaced impulses.Methods: The new collision test was used to measure precisely the absolute motor refractory period and the paired shock technique to measure the absolute sensory refractory period in the ulnar nerves of 167 normal infants and children to identify age related changes in the excitability of the nerve fiber membrane.Results: These tests showed that changes in the membrane properties of the fastest and the slowest motor and sensory fibers differ with age. Fastest fibers have more prominent and rapid reduction in their absolute refractory periods (increased excitability) at the successive age groups during the period between 6 months to 6years of life, while the slowest ones have more gradual and prolonged membrane changes (as assessed by the dispersion of the refractory periods)Conclusion: These electrophysological findings point to a period of rapid increment in the nerve fiber diameter, myelin thickness and the possibility of addition of new functioning nerve fibers during the process of growth and development, since each fiber has its characteristic absolute refractory period from birth.
Ovarian antral follicle number and the amount of gonadotropin used in ovarian stimulation in polycystic ovarian patients.
Authors: Sudek Hanan L. 
Published: November 2023

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common cause of anovulation, and the number of antral follicles is of great importance in determining ovarian reserve, so identification of patients with diminished ovarian reserve help in choosing individualized and well managed ovulation induction protocol. The aim of the study is to find out if the number of ovarian antral follicles could affect the amount of gonadotropins used in ovarian stimulation in polycystic ovarian patients.Patients and methods: Ninty four infertile polycystic ovaries women, attending the infertility clinic at Baghdad teaching hospital, during the period of November 2005 to October 2006, were compared to 62 control group women who have unexplained infertility. After exact history and examination, ultrasound was done to both groups at cycle day 3 for antral follicle counting. Then ovarian stimulation was started with gonadotropins, and another ultrasound was done on cycle day 13 for mature follicles confirmation.Results: Antral follicle number was found to be significantly higher in patients than control groups (9.98 ± 2.09 vs 5.40±2.02). Age was found to be negatively correlated with antral follicle size and number in patient and control groups. After measuring the number of mature follicles at cycle day 13 it was observed that the antral follicle number was correlating positively and significantly with the number of follicles at cycle day 13, but negatively with the amount of gonadotropin used for ovarian stimulation in patients and control groups.Conclusion: Antral follicles number is significantly higher in polycystic ovary patients and they correlate negatively with age. Antral follicle number is a good predictor of the number of gonadotropin ampouls used for ovarian stimulation.
On the energy budget of quarks and hadrons, their vastly underrated “strong charge,” and the profound impact of Coulomb repulsion on their ground states
Authors: Christodoulou DImitris M. , Kazanas Deosthenes 
Published: November 2023

We meta-analyze particle data and properties for those hadrons with measured rest-masses. The results of our study are as follows: (1) the strong-force suppression of the repulsive Coulomb forces between quarks is sufficient to explain the differences between mass deficits in nucleons and pions (and only them), the ground states with the longest known mean lifetimes; (2) unlike mass deficits, the excitations in rest-masses of all particle groups are effectively quantized, but the rules are different in baryons and mesons; (3) the strong field is aware of the extra factor of \(\vartheta_{\rm e}=2\) in the charges \(Q\) of the positively-charged quarks; (4) mass deficits combine contributions proportional to the mass of each valence quark; (5) the scaling factor of these contributions is the same for each quark in each group of particles, provided that the factor \(\vartheta_{\rm e}=2\) is taken into account; (6) besides hypercharge \(Y,\) the much lesser-known "strong charge" \(Q^{\prime}=Y-Q\) is very useful in SU(3) in describing properties of particles located along the right-leaning sides and diagonals of the weight diagrams; (7) strong decays in which \(Q^{\prime}\) is conserved are differentiated from weak decays, even for the same particle; (8) the energy diagrams of (anti)quark transitions indicate the origin of CP violation.

ObjectiveDuring laparoscopic radical resection for proctosigmoid colon cancer (PCC), surgeons could inadvertently damage the arteries when following the operation path.This study investigated the variations in left colon blood vessels in order to guide the scientific protection of the marginal artery (MA) during laparoscopic surgery for PCC.MethodsData from seven patients who underwent inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) angiography were included as imaging references to preliminarily explore the vascular structure and variation in the left colon. The clinical video data of 183 PCC patients were retrospectively analyzed to observe intraoperative MA injury. Meanwhile, a prospective cohort of 96 patients with the same disease underwent intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging of the peripheral sigmoid artery network, the variation of marginal arteries was summarized, and the distance between vessels and the bowel was measured at different levels. Patients were divided into ‘ICG group’ and ‘non-ICG group’ according to whether ICG guidance was performed, and perioperative conditions were compared between the two groups. Taking the integrity of lymph node dissection into consideration, 18 patients underwent carbon nanonode tracing. This study was conducted under the standard consent and ethical approval of the Ethics Committee of our center.Results7 patients with IMA angiography shared some vascular structures, defined as ‘Dangerous Triangle’ and ‘Secure Window’. Through intraoperative observation, the primary arch was typically located 4.2 (2.3-6.0) cm away from the intestinal canal, and 5.21% (5/96) patients had poor anastomosis at the primary arch. Moreover, secondary vascular arches (6.4 (4.6-10.0) cm from the intestinal wall) were observed in 38.54% of patients. MA injury was identified in 2 of 183 cases, and the ischemic bowel was timely dissected, whereas no such injury occurred during ICG fluorescenceguided surgery. Guided by carbon nanoparticles, the integrity of lymph node dissection can be maintained while preserving the secondary arch in all patients.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated the benefits of ICG guidance in protecting the intestinal blood supply in laparoscopic PCC surgery. By enhancing the understanding of primary and secondary vascular arches, secure windows, and dangerous triangles, surgeons can safely optimize the surgical path during surgery.
RE-AIM applied to a primary care workforce training for rural providers and nurses: the Department of Veterans Affairs' Rural Women's Health Mini-Residency
Authors: Golden Rachel E. , Sanders Aimee M. , Frayne Susan M. 
Published: November 2023

IntroductionApplication of the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework to evaluate workforce education and training programs targeting clinical health care staff has received relatively little attention. This paper aims to contribute to this area with RE-AIM findings from a women's health-focused workforce training program implemented by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Over the past two decades, the rapid expansion of the women Veteran population in VA has necessitated a quick response to meet clinical demand. To address this health care need, the VA Offices of Rural Health (ORH) and Women's Health (OWH) partnered to deploy a primary care workforce development initiative for Rural Providers and Nurses—the Rural Women's Health Mini-Residency (Rural WH-MR)—to train VA clinicians in rural locations in skills for the care of women Veterans. Here we assess the applicability of RE-AIM as an evaluation framework in this context.MethodsWe evaluated the Rural WH-MR, relying on a primarily quantitative approach, rooted in RE-AIM. It included longitudinal and cross-sectional measurements from multiple quantitative and qualitative data sources to develop selected metrics. Data collection instruments consisted of pre-, post-, and follow-up training surveys, course evaluations, existing VA databases, and implementation reports. We developed metrics for and assessed each RE-AIM component by combining data from multiple instruments and then triangulating findings.ResultsResults from the Rural WH-MR program for fiscal years 2018–2020 indicate that RE-AIM provides an instructive evaluation framework for a rural workforce training program, particularly in eliciting clarity between measures of Reach vs. Adoption and focusing attention on both provider- and patient-level outcomes.DiscussionWe describe evaluation metric development and barriers to and facilitators of utilizing RE-AIM as an evaluation framework for a provider- and nurse-facing intervention such as this workforce training program. We also reflect upon RE-AIM benefits for highlighting process and outcomes indicators of a training program's success and lessons learned for evaluating rural workforce development innovations. Several of our observations have implications for training and evaluation approaches in rural areas with more limited access to health care services.

Whitefly species of Aleurocanthus spiniferus (Quaintance) and A. woglumi Ashby (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) are serious pests of citrus and other important fruit crops. The problem of citrus has initiated the successful introduction of several natural enemies for biocontrol programs in Hawaii and many other countries. Here, we summarized the history of infestation and biocontrol efforts of the two whiteflies in Hawaii for possible parasitoid importation into Greece. Two Platygasteridae (Amitus hesperidum Silvestri, A. spiniferus (Brethes), and three Aphelinidae (Encarsia clypealis (Silvestri), E. smithi (Silvestri), E. perplexa Huang, and Polaszek) were released in Hawaii for biocontrol of the citrus whiteflies during the period 1974–1999. The aphelinid Cales noacki Howard, purposely released for Aleurothrixus flococcus (Maskell) in 1982, was also reported to attack other whiteflies, including Aleurocanthus species, on citrus. An additional aphelinid parasitoid, Encarsia nipponica Silvestri, native to Japan and China, was accidentally introduced and found to attack both citrus whiteflies on the islands. Since the colonization of introduced parasitoids in infested fields on four Hawaiian Islands, no survey has been conducted to evaluate their potential impact. We conducted two short surveys during September–November 2022 on the islands of Kauai, Hawaii, and Oahu to introduce the dominant parasitoids to Greece for the biocontrol of A. spiniferus. Results showed that the infestation level was very low on Kauai, Hawaii, and Oahu Islands, with a mean infestation level range of 1.4–3.1 on Hawaii and Oahu Islands, mostly on pummelo and sweet orange, with no detection on the island of Kauai. The dominant parasitoid was characterized as Encarsia perplexa, using molecular analysis. Its parasitism rates ranged from 0 to 28% on the island of Hawaii and 11 to 65% on the island of Oahu. Emerged parasitoids have been reared in Greece for evaluation. This was the first field survey of Hawaii since the introduction and release of citrus whitefly natural enemies.
SOCIALIZATION OF THE USE OF ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS IN THE INPATIENT INSTALLATION OF GRANDMED HOSPITAL LUBUK PAKAM
Authors: Mayasari Dini 
Published: November 2023

Hypertension is a chronic disease that is one of the causes of death in the world. Every year these cases are constantly increasing. It is estimated that by 2025 it is predicted that around 29% of the world's population will be affected by hypertension. WHO mentioned that in some developing economies it is around 40% while developed countries are 35% lower. Indonesia occupies an incidence percentage of 32% of the total population. Patients are often unaware of the rise in blood pressure before a physical examination is performed. In addition, patients suffering from this disease also have the potential for complications with other diseases. The high prevalence of cases causes the use of antihypertensive drugs to increase. Along with this, there are many cases of irrationality of treatment. Therefore, optimal therapy is needed in dealing with this disease so that we can suppress the incidence rate and the quality of life of patients can increase. Evaluation of the accuracy of the use of this drug is very necessary considering that it is very closely influential with the quality of life of the patient. Research has been conducted to see whether or not the rational use of hypertension drugs in hospitals has been carried out. Grandmed based on several criteria, namely the right patient, indications, medications, and the right dosage. The data is taken from the patient's medical record. Of the 36 obtained exactly 100% patients, the right indication 100%, the right drug 86% , and the exact dose 94%. This socialization is mainly aimed at pharmacy students so that it can be developed as a reference in hypertension therapy in the future.
