Die große Ebolaepidemie in Westafrika 2013–2016 - Erinnerungen einer Ärztin
Authors: Walter Sabine 
Published: November 2022

Der Ausbruch des tödlichen Ebolavirus in Westafrika von 2013 bis 2016 wurde zu einer Epidemie unvorstellbaren Ausmaßes, die als Gesundheitsnotstand von internationaler Bedeutung und Bedrohung der weltweiten Sicherheit eingestuft wurde. Die Gesundheitssysteme von Guinea, Liberia und Sierra Leone brachen zusammen und es bedurfte größter internationaler Anstrengung, den Ausbruch einzudämmen. Weltweite Aufmerksamkeit erreichte die Epidemie, als Ebolainfizierte nach Nigeria, Europa und in die USA gelangten und es dort zu Ansteckungen kam.
Sabine Walter besuchte als Regionalärztin des Auswärtigen Amtes die Länder Westafrikas und verfolgte die Geschehnisse aufmerksam. Mit diesem Buch erinnert sie an eine verheerende Epidemie, die zur humanitären Katastrophe wurde mit weit mehr als 28.000 Infektionen, mehr als 11.000 registrierten und unzähligen weiteren Toten.
«The Ebola epidemic in West Africa was not only a public health emergency, but also a humanitarian crisis and an economic and social disaster. Many precious lessons can be drawn for the response against future epidemics. A silver lining has been the development of effective vaccines and therapies against Ebola disease. Dr Walter’s book provides first hand experience about the response to Ebola and should be very useful for developing better epidemic preparedness in general.»Peter PiotEiner der Entdecker des Ebolavirus
Design and Analysis of Decentralized Dynamic Sliding Mode Controller for TITO Process
Authors: Ghogare Mukesh G. , Laware A. R. , Patil S. L. , Patil C. Y. 
Published: November 2022

In this paper, a decentralized dynamic sliding mode control (DySMC) strategy is applied to a multivariable level control system. The time derivative of the control input of the DySMC is considered a new control variable for an augmented system which is composed of the original system and the integrator. This DySMC can transfer discontinuous terms to the first-order derivative of the control input and effectively reduce the chattering. The interactions between input/output variables are a common phenomenon and a challenging task in the design of multi-loop controllers for interacting multivariable processes. For reducing the interaction among variables, ideal decouplers are used. Independent diagonal controllers are designed for each decoupled subsystem, which is reduced to the first-order plus dead-time (FOPDT) model. A numerical simulation test has been carried out on a reactor system of the Industrial-Scale Polymerization (ISP). Experimental tests are performed to check the efficacy of the proposed controller using a laboratory-level coupled tank system. A comparison of the proposed approach and sliding mode controller (SMC) is presented. Simulation and experiment results show that the DySMC approach reduces the chattering, and compensates for the effect of the external disturbances, and parametric uncertainties.
Robotic Motion Planning in Dynamic Environments and its Applications
Authors: Mohanan M. G. , Salgaonkar Ambuja 
Published: November 2022

The fundamental problem of robot motion planning in a dynamic environment (RMPDE) is to find an optimal collision-free path from the start to the goal in a dynamic environment. Our literature survey of over 100 papers from the last four decades reveals that there are more than 30 models of RMPDE, and there is no benchmarking criterion to select one that is the best in a given situation. In this context, generating a regression-based model with 10 attributes is the first and foremost contribution of our research. Given a highly human-interactive environment like a cafeteria or a bus stand, the gross hidden Markov model has special importance for modeling a robot path. A variant of the growing hidden Markov model for a serving robot in a cafeteria is the second contribution of this paper. We simulated the behavior of GHMM in a cafeteria with static and dynamic obstacles (static obstacles were both convex and concave) and with three different arrangements of the tables and obstacles. Robots have been employed in mushroom harvesting. A novel proposition discussed in this paper is probabilistic road map planning for a robot that finds an optimum path for reaching the ripened mushrooms in a randomly planted mushroom farm and a dexterous hand to pluck the selected mushrooms by employing inverse kinematics. Further, two biologically inspired meta-heuristic algorithms, ant colony optimization, and firefly has been studied for their application to latex collection. The simulation results with this environment show that the firefly algorithm outperforms ant colony optimization in the general case. Finally, we have proposed a few pointers for future research in this domain. The compilation and comparison of various approaches to robot motion planning in highly dynamic environments, and the simulation of a few models for some typical scenarios, have been the contributions of this paper.

Authors: Handayani Isti , Nuraini Nuraini 
Published: November 2022

Synbiotic yogurt is a yogurt that contains probiotics and prebiotics and is one type of functional food. This study aims to determine the effect of the addition of L. casei and ambon banana flour on the chemical characteristics of synbiotic yogurt. The study was conducted using a randomized group design with two treatments, namely the type of starter and the concentration of ambon banana flour. Starters used: 1) Steptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus; 2) Steptococcus thermophillus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Lactobacillus casei. The concentration of added banana flour is as follows: 0; 2,5; 5,0; 7,5; and 10%. The observed variables include pH, total titrated acid, and reduction sugar. The results showed that the addition of L. casei to yogurt culture increased pH, total titrated acid, and reduction sugar. Where, the increase in the concentration of ambon banana flour decreases the pH and sugar reduction but increases the total titrated acid yogurt.
In-situ leaching of molybdenum and uranium by percarbonate and chloride-hypochlorite solutions
Authors: Rasskazov Igor , Sekisov Artur , Rasskazova Anna 
Published: November 2022

In-situ leaching of molybdenum and uranium is becoming an increasingly common process. The features of the material composition of ores, leading to a decrease in their filtration properties, were considered. Activation leaching with leaching solutions that have undergone electrophotochemical activation before contact with the ore mass were studied. Activation preparation of leaching solutions promotes the synthesis of clustered water molecules with collectivized protons and hydroxyl ions, as well as active forms of oxygen and hydrogen. Cell leaching of molybdenum from mature tailings of the Shakhtaminsk deposit was studied experimentally. After pre-oxidation with an active carbonate solution, a model borehole leaching was carried out with a chloride-hypochlorite solution. Molybdenum extraction on resin a was 85 % in 30 days. Experiments on the percolation leaching of uranium from the ores of the Uchkuduk and Sugraly deposits confirmed the potential possibility of a significant increase in the extraction of uranium by electrophotoactivated percarbonate solutions relative to aqueous solutions of sodium and ammonium carbonate. When leaching with carbonate solutions without an additional oxidizing agent, the extraction of uranium from the Sugraly deposit ore sample was 52 and 59 % (sodium carbonate and ammonium carbonate). The use of hydrogen peroxide as an oxidizing agent made it possible to achieve 87-88 % extraction into pregnant solutions in 21 days without pre-oxidation. The performed studies confirm the processing capability of extracting uranium and molybdenum by percolation leaching in columns and borehole leaching.
A Calculus of Qualia
Authors: Merriam Paul 
Published: November 2022

The idea of this paper is to put actual qualia into equations (broadly understood) to get what might be called _qualations_. Qualations arguably have different meanings and truth behaviors than the analogous equations. For example, the term ‘ black ’ arguably has a different meaning and behavior than the term ‘ ⬛ ’. This is a step in the direction of a ‘calculus of qualia’ and of expanding science to include 1stperson phenomena.

OBJECTIVES: This is a longitudinal prospective study designed to assess the trend of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies targeting the Spike (anti-S) and Nucleocapside protein (anti-N) viral antigens over a 9-month period after the administration of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in a big COVID-19 hospital located in Northern Italy.

PARTICIPANTS: 7,411 vaccinated workers were included in a linear mixed effect model analysis performed to model the anti-S decay over the 9 months following the vaccination, during serological screening performed approximately 2, 4 and 9 months following the 1st jab administration. Serological tests performed in the 9 months preceding vaccine administration were retrospectively analysed to identify the burden of infections occurring before vaccination.

RESULTS: The serological assays were used for monitoring the antibody titres during the observational period.

Vaccination significantly reduced the rate of infection and elicited a specific humoral response, which lasted during the whole observational period (9 months). A decay was observed in all considered subgroups. At 35 weeks, workers with no history of pre-vaccine infection showed a significantly lower anti-S titer [-2522 U/mL on average (-2589.7 to -2445.7)]; younger workers showed significantly higher anti-S titres [140.2 U/mL on average (82.4 to 201.3)]. Only 7 immunocompromised workers did not show significant levels of anti-S antibodies; three of them, all females, showed a specific T-cell response.

CONCLUSIONS: Comparing the 9-months periods before and after the first vaccine dose, a significant reduction in infection rate was observed (1708 cases vs 156). Pre-vaccine infection, especially if contracted during the first pandemic wave greatly enhanced the response to vaccination, which was significantly affected also by age both in extent and duration (inversely related). A gender effect on the T-cell immune response was observed in a small group of workers who do not produce antibodies after vaccine administration.

Published: November 2022

By using the descriptions of the Out-of-Body experiences of 13 participants, we aimed to have a picture of what it is like to be in this particular state of consciousness.

All information was grouped according to the following topics: consciousness status, self-boundaries, object perception, color perception, other types of perceptions, interactions with other people or beings, emotions, and time and movement perception.

From the 13 first-person accounts, it emerged a very different way to perceive and know emerges without the constraints of the brain and sensory organs. Overall, the participants reported positive feelings, a consciousness status characterized by a high level of self-awareness without self-boundaries, and the ability to perceive information with almost all modalities, living in a timeless dimension.

INDONESIAN LEADERSHIP IN THE GLOBAL ORGANIZATION OF PARLIAMENTARIANS AGAINST CORRUPTION (GOPAC) AND ITS IMPACT ON THE INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF OPEN PARLIAMENT IN INDONESIA
Authors: Zon Fadli , Andika Muhammad Tri 
Published: November 2022

The Open Parliament Indonesia (OPI) declaration in 2018 was a pivotal moment in the democratization of the Indonesian parliament. The OPI declaration marked a strategic achievement of Indonesia’s parliamentary diplomacy. At a time when the public trust towards the Indonesian parliament was low, the OPI declaration opened a new chapter for the Indonesian parliament to revitalize its commitment toward increasing public trust. It is worth noting that the decision of the Indonesian parliament to join the open parliament initiative began with its leadership in the Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC). This article has addressed the key question of how the Indonesian parliament’s leadership in GOPAC contributed to the establishment of Open Parliament Indonesia and further argued that Indonesia’s leadership in international organizations such as GOPAC has influenced Indonesian parliamentary behaviour. This has been achieved by creating room and access for the parliament to intensely engage with issues of open parliament in the international fora. It marked the compliance of the Indonesian parliament with international norms, demonstrating its commitment to adhere to the global democratic principles of transparency, openness and accountability. International norms prompted by GOPAC’s open parliament advocacy has affected Indonesia’s parliament’s policy choice as regards the open parliament agenda. Indonesia’s leadership in GOPAC, represented by the Deputy Speaker in Politics, Law and Security as GOPAC president, accelerated the institutionalization of the OPI.
Frequency Splitting Analysis and Compensation Method for Inductive Wireless Powering of Implantable Biosensors
Authors: Schormans Matthew , Valente Virgilio , Demosthenous Andreas 
Published: November 2022

<p>Inductive powering for implanted medical devices, such as implantable biosensors, is a safe and effective technique that allows power to be delivered to implants wirelessly, avoiding the use of transcutaneous wires or implanted batteries. Wireless powering is very sensitive to a number of link parameters, including coil distance, alignment, shape, and load conditions. The optimum drive frequency of an inductive link varies depending on the coil spacing and load. This paper presents an optimum frequency tracking (OFT) method, in which an inductive power link is driven at a frequency that is maintained at an optimum value to ensure that the link is working at resonance, and the output voltage is maximised. The method is shown to provide significant improvements in maintained secondary voltage and system efficiency for a range of loads when the link is overcoupled. The OFT method does not require the use of variable capacitors or inductors. When tested at frequencies around a nominal frequency of 5 MHz, the OFT method provides up to a twofold efficiency improvement compared to a fixed frequency drive. The system can be readily interfaced with passive implants or implantable biosensors, and lends itself to interfacing with designs such as distributed implanted sensor networks, where each implant is operating at a different frequency. </p>
