Authors: Lee Deokjong , Kim Se Joo , Cheon Jooah , Jung Young-chul , Kang Jee In 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Objective: Patients with somatic symptom disorder (SSD) tend to have problems perceiving their bodily signals. We hypothesized that SSD patients would exhibit changes in interoceptive accuracy (IA), particularly when emotional processing is involved.
Methods: Twenty-three patients with SSD and 20 healthy controls were recruited. IA was assessed using the heartbeat perception task. The task was performed in the absence of stimuli as well as in the presence of emotional interference, i.e., photographs of faces with an emotional expression. IA were examined for correlation with measures related to their somatic symptoms, including resting-state heart rate variability (HRV).
Results: There was no significant difference in the absolute values of IA between patients with SSD and healthy controls, regardless of the condition. However, the degree of difference in IA without emotional interference and with neutral facial interference was greater in patients with SSD than in healthy controls (p=0.039). The IA of patients with SSD also showed a significant correlation with low-frequency HRV (p=0.004) and high-frequency HRV (p=0.007).
Conclusion: SSD patients showed more significant changes in IA when neutral facial interference was given. These results suggest that bodily awareness is more affected by emotionally ambiguous stimuli in SSD patients than in healthy controls.

Abstract

Recent advancements in autonomous driving technology have resulted in a growing need for robust algorithms that can effectively detect, recognize, and segment objects in the surrounding environment. Semantic segmentation systems, which classify each
pixel of an image into a class, have become a key component in achieving complete scene understanding, a crucial task for self-driving vehicles. This work focuses on utilizing deep learning methods to perform semantic segmentation
on spherical images, a particular representation of fisheye images, characterized by a large field of view and strong distortion, which can result in performance degradation on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained on pinhole images. To address this issue, we propose the use of spherical kernels, which adapt their sampling locations according to the spherical projection, as an alternative to standard convolutional kernels, in real-time CNNs. We demonstrate that this approach outperforms the use of the regular convolution operation. To showcase the effectiveness of this method, we generate three spherical image datasets with varying characteristics.

Published: July 2023

Abstract

In this document, a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna is proposed in the 3.5 GHz band for wireless applications in 5G connected devices. This MIMO antenna system consists of two antennas disposed next to each other, and the dimensions of each antenna were 50 mm ×40 mm× 1.6 mm. It has a full size of 100 mm ×80 mm× 1.6 mm and a spacing of λ/8 between radiating elements, where λ is the length of waves in a vacuum. The proposed antenna is designed on a FR4 type substrate with a permittivity of 4.3 and a microstrip line is used to feed the patch. An effective technique is used to increase the decoupling between antennas. This technique is base on the inserting of an arrangement of SRR (Split Ring Resonator) cells to minimize the isolation between the MIMO antenna elements. A simulation, analysis, and fabrication process are used to create both individual and MIMO antennas. A simulation result shows that the gain remains above 3.5 dB and the efficiency reaches above 80% in the working band. Thus, a good reduction of the mutual coupling of 23 dB with SRRs is achieved. Also, a good agreement is achieved between measurements and simulation results. Our work shows the influence of each technique on the characteristics of our antennas to find the best configuration to be suitable for 5G and IOT applications.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
In this study, we investigate the role of software-defined networking (SDN) controller on memory usage, system stability, and performance in cloud computing networks, with a specific focus on the deployment of machine learning techniques. The SDN controller utilizes machine learning algorithms to dynamically detect and block vulnerable and memory-intensive cloudlet codes. The results demonstrate that the deployment of machine learning in the SDN controller significantly improves resource allocation, mitigates resource contention, and reduces the risk of memory exhaustion. By accurately identifying and preventing the execution of insecure cloudlets, the machine learning-enabled SDN controller enhances system security and maintains optimal resource utilization. Moreover, the study highlights the positive influence of the SDN controller on system stability, preventing disruptive operations and minimizing the likelihood of system crashes or slowdowns.

This paper describes how the game is a tool to support the strengthening of character education for its users. In implementing the Independent Learning Education, Merdeka Campus, Bandung State Polytechnic, collaborated with the industry to apply gamification to the concept of character education and the nation's cultural values. Some of the objectives of this gamification activity are: (a) Getting the ethnic group’s information; (b) Providing users inspiration to develop themselves; (c) Growing a better direction mindset. The game developed is a web-based application (online gamification), so as many students/students and lecturers as possible can use the game to support strengthening character education and the nation's cultural values. The manual version of the video game content (prototype) is available, namely the 2021 research output containing Pancasila character content based on ethnic excellence. The elements of educational content in online gamification contain the results of identifying the prominent characters of 10 ethnic groups in Indonesia with the largest population (Dayak, Madura, Jawa, Sunda, Baduy, Batak, Banjar, Minahasa, Betawi, Minang). This study used three approaches which are Qualitative-Explorative, Qualitative-Descriptive, and Evaluation. The method used to know how gamification was implemented in character education and the nation's cultural values. It is hoped that gamification can integrate into the learning process for compulsory national subjects. Thus, students can become users and a market for the gamification industry.
Bioaugmentation of a structural extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) producer to improve activated sludge bioflocculation: lessons learned
Authors: Christiaens An-Sofie , Daenen Robin , Smets Ilse 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Structural extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) contribute to the bioflocculation performance of activated sludge systems. This research investigates the potential of bioaugmentation of a structural EPS producer, Azoarcus communis, as a bioflocculation improvement or remediation approach. An antibiotic-resistant and fluorescent protein-producing mutant was constructed to monitor the survival, persistence, and location of the augmented strain in the membrane bioreactor. Preliminary batch tests against a kaolin clay model system and deflocculated sludge revealed the flocculation potential of this strain. Morphological image analysis and fluorescence microscopy suggest that most of the bacteria augmented in suspension were initially attached to the sludge flocs with, however, only a limited fraction getting incorporated within the activated sludge floc biomass. This limited bioaugmentation prevented assessing its impact on bioflocculation and might be explained by metazoan and protozoan grazing, together with competition with indigenous organisms and sub-optimal growth conditions in the reactor for the engineered strain.

Abstract

For the majority of the world, most drainage basins are poorly gauged or simply ungauged. The estimation of the hydrological parameters in sub-catchments of large basins is a very difficult task but is frequently required in hydrological analyses. Estimating runoff from ungauged or sparsely gauged catchments is a serious challenge in developing countries like Vietnam. The Ca River Basin is the most extensive system in the North Central region of Vietnam but contains very limited hydrological gauging stations. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the extended applicability of a simulated hydrological Tank model at the Ca River Basin sub-catchments. The daily Tank model was calibrated in gauged sub-catchments: Quy Chau in northern-side and Hoa Quan in southern-side sub-catchments. The extended applicability of calibrated parameter sets was verified by data from the continuously gauged stations of Nghia Khanh, Dua, and Yen Thuong. According to the findings of this study, the use of parameters identified in small sub-catchments can be used to calculate the flow processes in similar, but larger catchments in the Ca River Basin. The simulated Tank model parameters can be applied to calculate discharge at ungauged locations within the study area for a variety of purposes.

Beragam bantuan sosial yang didistribusikan oleh pemerintah pada masa pandemi covid-19 menjadi bagian komponen pendapatan rumah tangga yang kemudian dialokasikan untuk pengeluaran konsumsi, bantuan sosial yang didistribusikan oleh pemerintah kepada rumah tangga di Indonesia di antaranya adalah Bantuan Pangan Non Tunai (BPNT), Bantuan Sosial Tunai (BST), dan Bantuan Langsung Tunai Dana Desa (BLTDD). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efek crowding in dan crowding out dari keragaman bantuan sosial BPNT,BST, dan BLTDD yang diterima 63.924 rumah tangga di Indonesia pada saat krisis ekonomi terhadap pengeluaran untuk makanan dan bukan makanan. Dengan menggunakan data sekunder dari Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional 2020 pada modul ketahanan sosial (Hansos) dan Susenas KOR, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR), penelitian ini menemukan bahwa BPNT, BST dan BLTDD signifikan mempengaruhi pengeluaran rumah tangga. Jika pengaruh bantuan sosial BPNT, BST, dan BLTDD positif (Crowding in) untuk belanja makanan maka dalam penelitian ini menemukan hubungan yang negatif (Crowding out) untuk pengeluaran bukan makanan. Namun ketika bantuan sosial disimulasikan dalam bentuk uang tunai maka konsumsi rumah tangga cenderung negatif untuk makanan (Crowding out) dan positif (Crowding in) untuk konsumsi konsumsi bukan makanan.

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant increase in social assistance distributed by the government, which has become a crucial component of household income. This has enabled households to allocate a greater proportion of income to consumption expenditure. This study aims to analyze the effects of crowding in and out of the various social assistance BPNT, BST, and BLTDD received by 63,924 households in Indonesia during the economic crisis on food and non-food expenditures. Using secondary data from the 2020 National Socioeconomic Survey on the social security module (Hansos) and Susenas KOR, then analyzed using the Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) model, this study found that BPNT, BST, and BLTDD significantly affect household spending. This study finds that while the influence of BPNT, BST, and BLTDD social assistance may be positive towards food spending (crowding in), it has a negative relationship towards non-food expenditure (crowding out). However, when social service simulates as cash, household consumption tends to be harmful to food (crowding out) and positive (crowding in) for non-food consumption.

Food crops are agricultural products consumed to support our daily lives. Food plants are also a source of vitamins and minerals needed by our bodies and directly play a role in improving health. Therefore, the hygiene and safety of the food we consume is very important, not to cause health problems. Soil is an importantfactor in agriculture, as a medium to grow plants and is also a part of the cycle of heavy metals. The gold mining business is often seen as the cause of environmental damage and pollution. This research was conducted at food and secondary crops farms around Poboya, where soil and plant analysis was carried out at the Laboratory of Natural Resources and Environment, Faculty of Agriculture, Tadulako University, Palu. The research was conducted from September to November 2020. The method used was survey with field observations and laboratory analysis, gradually done through pre-survey, main survey (sampling) and laboratory analysis with tactical sampling. The results showed that mercury (Hg) concentration in the sample point 1 was 0.48 - 0.52 ppm, sample point 2 was 0.62 - 0.63 ppm, sample point 3 was 0.30 - 0.35 ppm and sample point 4 is 0.25 - 0.26 ppm. While the concentration of mercury (Hg) in food crops, namely: sample point 1 is 0.31 - 0.33 ppm, sample point 2 is 0.45 - 0.48 ppm, sample point 3 is between 0.20 - 0.24 ppm and sample point 4 around 0.09 - 0.10 ppm. This shows that the content of heavy metal mercury (Hg) in the soil around Poboya has passed the tolerable threshold. Meanwhile, the concentration of mercury (Hg) in food crops at points 1 and 2 passed the critical threshold, while sample points 3 and 4 were still below the critical threshold. The farther the distance from the processing site, the less mercury content in the soil and in food crops.

Aim. To study the possible synergistic action of steroid hormones and hormone-specific autoantibodies and anti-autoantibodies in conversion of ER+/PR+ tumors into ER-/PR- in breast cancer patients.Materials and Methods. Concentrations of estradiol (E2) and progesterone (Pg) and the levels of hormone-specific idiotypic IgA antibodies (IgA1-E2 and IgA1-Pg) as well as anti-idiotypic IgG antibodies (IgG2-E2 and IgG2-Pg) were studied in the serum of 979 breast cancer patients (432 patients with stage 1 and 547 patients with stages 2-4) by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. E2 and Pg receptors phenotype (ER/ PR) was determined using immunohistochemistry.Results. Simultaneous increase in IgA1-E2 and IgG2-E2 levels was associated with elevated E2 serum concentration (p = 0.007) in ER+/PR+ breast cancer patients. On the contrary, concurrent increase in IgA1-Pg и IgG2-Pg, was associated with lowered Pg concentration (p = 0.04). The frequency of ER+/PR+ tumors was low and ER-/PR- was high in patients with stages 2-4 breast cancer than in stage 1 in the following cases: 1) IgG2-E2 and IgA1-E2 levels were high regardless of serum E2 (p = 0.004); 2) IgG2-E2 levels were high and IgA1-E2 and E2 levels were low (p = 0.002); 3) IgG2-Pg and Pg levels were high regardless of IgA1-Pg levels (р < 0,001); 4) IgG2-E2 and IgG2-Pg levels were high regardless of E2, Pg, IgA1-E2 and IgA1-Pg levels (р < 0,001). In other combinations of hormones and hormone-specific antibodies and anti-antibodies, there have been no differences in the frequency of ER+/PR+ and ER-/PR- tumors between patients with ascending stages of breast cancer.Conclusion. We for the first time found a synergistic action of hormone-specific idiotypic and anti-idiotypic autoantibodies on the concentration of steroid hormones in the serum of breast cancer patients, and the synergistic action of steroid hormones and hormone-specific idiotypic and anti-idiotypic autoantibodies on tumor steroid receptor conversion.
