Glucose Triglycerides Index as a Predictor of Severity of Coronary Artery Assessed with Syntax Score I in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients
Authors: Sulistyono Tego , Nugraha Triadhy , Wasyanto Trisulo 
Published: January 2022

Background: Pre-diabetes is a golden period to prevent and delay the development of diabetes. In coronary heart disease, there are more patients with impaired glucose tolerance than the patients without impaired glucose tolerance, so screening is needed in patients who have risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Assessment of insulin resistance is a "fundamental goal" that has a large value of prevention. Triglyceride Glucose (TyG) index is a surrogate marker of insulin resistance that can be applied to the community as a practical and efficient screening method.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess TyG index for the severity of coronary arteries as assessed by SYNTAX score I in ACS patients.
Methods: This study was an analytic cross-sectional study with a sample of 36 ACS patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) examinations in the catheterization laboratory of General Hospital Dr. Moewardi. The mean value of coronary artery severity was assessed using SYNTAX Score I. Subjects were then divided into two groups and then associated TyG index with coronary artery severity assessed by SYNTAX score I. A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: In this study, the best TyG index value in predicting the severity of coronary arteries is a cut-off value of 8.67 (AUC 0.738) with a specificity of 70.00% and sensitivity of 69.23%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TyG index was an independent predictor of a high SYNTAX scores (OR 5.25, 95% CI 1.07 - 25.70).
Conclusion: The TyG index shows good sensitivity and specificity to classify the degree of coronary severity in ACS patients with pre-diabetes.
Association between Red Cell Distribution Width and Left Atrial Thrombus in Patients with Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Alfiansyah Mirza , Purwaningtyas Niniek 
Published: January 2022

Background: Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a quantitative measure of variability in the size of circulating erythrocytes and previously shown to provide information concerning the prothrombotic status or adverse outcome of cardiovascular disease. Left atrial thrombus (LAT) is commonly detected in patients with valvular atrial fibrillation (VAF) due to rheumatic mitral valve stenosis (RMVS) but there is very limited data regarding the predictive value of RDW for the development of LAT in these patients.
Aim: To determine the association between RDW and LAT in VAF patients.
Methods: A total of 58 patients were included in a retrospective observational study between January 2016 to December 2016 in patients who admitted to Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, due to symptomatic VAF. Blood examination and transthoracic echocardiography were performed to all patients. LAT was defined as a fixed or mobile echogenic mass within left atrium (LA) and left atrial appendage (LAA). The RDW was compared between a patient with LAT or without LAT.
Results: There were 28 patients (mean age: 46.2±13.3 years) in LAT(+) group and 30 patients (mean age: 45.6±11.5 years) in LAT(-) group. RDW was significantly higher in LAT(+) group (14.4±1.8% vs. 13.3±1.5%, p=0.010). The RDW was independent predictor of LAT by multivariate analysis (OR 1.619; p=0.020; 95% CI: 1.079-2.429). The cut-off RDW value for LAT was >13.5% with a sensitivity of 73.3% and a specificity of 64.3% (area under curve=0.700; 95% CI: 0.562-0.838; p=0.009). The prevalence of LAT was significantly higher in patient with an RDW >13.5% than in those with an RDW <13.5 % (64.3% and 35.7%, p=0.002), with prevalence ratio 5.91.
Conclusion: This study shows that a higher level of RDW has an association with the presence of LAT and an independent risk factor of LAT formation in patients with VAF.

Published: January 2022

In this study, a poultry egg incubator was designed, fabricated, and tested to evaluate its hatching performance. The incubator consists of a microcontroller with egg turner trays and incubating chamber of 116 nos. of egg capacity. The hatchability of the developed incubator was 79.3% and 87.1% hatchability during manual and automatic trials respectively. The temperature in the developed incubator was within the acceptable incubation temperature ranges from 37.6 °C to 38.6 °C. The average relative humidity in the developed incubator was maintained at 63.6% at manual and 55-65% at automatic trial. The eggs were turned manually approximately at 6 hours of interval. On the other hand, in the automatically controlled trial, it was done by egg turner maintaining exactly 6 hours of interval. It is noted that the percentage of hatching in rice husk incubators is below 55% which is much below comparing with the developed incubator. Also, the newborn chickens in rice husk incubators are unhealthy as they don’t get a sufficient amount of heat. Besides, in the sand incubation technique, kerosene-based hurricane lamps are used which produce Carbon Dioxide. The developed incubator is environment friendly because it doesn’t produce any by-product that is responsible for harming the environment. Also, after the successful trials, we have found the benefit-cost ratio was 1.42 which was quite satisfactory. The egg incubator can maintain the optimum conditions for the hatching of the chicken eggs and is capable of incubating and hatching the chicken eggs effectively. If the developed incubator is commercially supplied to the end-user, it will be a beneficial process of hatching for the farmer of Bangladesh.

Published: January 2022

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) is one of the most important and has the highest acreage of any vegetable crop in the world. Such quantitative analysis is based on the assessment of data from sequential collections of plant traits linked to environmental conditions, as well as yield potential under optimal growth conditions. The objective in this study was to evaluate the performance of tomato crop under furrow, basin and hosepipe irrigation techniques in Kabos, Serere District of Eastern Uganda. The materials and methods used in this study included tools like water pump (model DCX2-50D), Tomato variety Rionex, weighting scale, CROPWAT 8.0 software, CANOPEO software among others. Generally, quantitative techniques through several experiment designs were used. Daily and monthly weather variables, in-situ primary datasets of plant height, canopy cover percentages and fruit characteristics, and weight of harvested tomatoes were measured at three growth stages and analyzed using RCBD experiment with six treatments and four replications.
Findings showed that overhead treatments had lowest rate of rotten yield compared to basin and furrow but had highest rate of discolored fruits attributed to sunshine and impact of water pressure during irrigation. Rotting of yield was highest in basin treatments. The rotting was attributed to water logging, poor drainage that accelerated fungal infection in the tomatoes. Furrow treatments had better drainage which reduced quantity of nonmarketable yield. There was no significant difference on the weight of tomatoes below 65g. This meant that fruit weight was independent of irrigation method. Treatments under hosepipe irrigation-overhead. Conclusively, water management practices have big impact on the crop yield giving a relationship that yield is directly proportional to water management practices, which however, should be followed by detailed soil and water analysis through such studies. The Safe-Water-for Food (SWFF) target can be reached and eventually reduce on the global hunger syndrome.

Authors: De Mendonça Arthur Furtado , E Souza Grace M. d , De Mendonça Bianca Furtado , Ellakwa Ayman 
Published: January 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the available literature to evaluate the clinical performance of different post systems for the rehabilitation of endodontically treated teeth (ETT).
Clinical Significance: The loss of structural integrity of endodontically treated teeth usually requires the use of intra-radicular posts for the retention of the final restoration. The recent literature has reported controversial results regarding the clinical performance of different systems.
Material and Methods: An electronic search restricted to the English language was performed up to May 31, 2020. Articles were selected if they met the following criteria: cohort studies and randomized clinical trials comparing the failure rate incidence between fiber and cast metal post, with a mean follow-up of 3 years.
Results: 24 studies (14 cohort studies and 10 RCTs) published between 2000 and 2018 were included in this review. For cast metal posts, 210 cases were classified as failures (17.07%), and for fiber posts, 423 were classified as failures (10.6%). An unpaired t-test revealed that cast metal and fiber post values were not significantly different (p = 0.58) with the difference between means of 5.00 with 95% confidence of interval (-13.38 to 23.39). Four studies that presented cast metal and fiber posts groups were combined in the meta-analysis. There was no significant difference in the general failure analysis (risk ratio of 0.59 [95% CI: 0.30 to 1.18]; p = 0.13).
Conclusions: Based on the present analysis results, the clinical performance of ETT restored with either cast metal- or fiber post-retained restorations presented similar results.

Published: January 2022

In this study, we solve the non-relativistic radial part of the Schrödinger wave equation for the superposition of the Hulthen with spin-orbit plus adjusted Coulomb potential (SHSC) potential using the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method for arbitrary states. The Hulthen with spin-orbit plus adjusted Coulomb (SHSC) potential is the simplest potential field for a nuclear system and has been used to obtain the single particle energy spectrum for both nucleon species orbiting a closed nuclear core. We also obtained in this study the corresponding single particle normalized wave function expressed in terms of the Jacobi polynomial. Besides, we obtained two special cases of the energy spectra for the SHSC potential.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
The study assesses impact of malting process duration on malting losses and quality of malts obtained from three varieties of winter wheat, i.e., Elixer, Rockefeller and Gimantis. The findings show that increased duration of the malting process (from 4 to 7 days) corresponded to greater total weight loss, with the most significant differences observed between 5-day and 6-day wheat malts. The qualitative analysis of the malts was carried out in accordance with EBC methodology. The assessments showed that the 5-day long malting process applied to the relevant wheat varieties resulted in production of high-quality malt with optimum malting losses observed in the case of Elixer and Rockefeller varieties. Slightly higher malting losses were identified in the case of Gimantis, and the malt obtained from this variety had very high contents of soluble protein (on average 5.34% d.m.) and Kolbach Index (average of 50.49%), which reflects high proteolytic activity during the grain malting process and a need to modify the malting process for this variety.

Abstract
Cell envelope proteases (CEPs) can break down milk protein into peptides with different functions, which are of great benefit to human health. Therefore, the high-yield CEPs of Lactobacillus plantarum have the potential to produce functional dairy products. In previous experiments, we found that Na2HPO4, inulin, casein peptone and leucine have significant effects on CEP production by Lactobacillus plantarum LP69. So we proceeded to optimize the composition of the CEP-producing culture medium of L. plantarum through Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology. The protease activity, protein content and specific activity of CEPs produced by L. plantarum by inulin (0.2, 0.3, 0.4 %), casein peptone (0.4, 0.6, 0.8 %), Na2HPO4 (0.50, 0.52, 0.54 %) and leucine (14, 16, 18 mg/L) were evaluated. The optimal ratio of medium is 0.4 % inulin, 0.66 % casein peptone, 0.5 % Na2HPO4 and 14.04 mg/L Leucine. The final enzyme activity reached (24.46±0.81) U/mL, and the specific activity reached (1.41±0.46) U/mg.
Some notes on planning plant protection research in block designs with nested rows and columns
Authors: Kozłowska Maria 
Published: January 2022

Summary
Factorial experiments in block designs with nested rows and columns are described with suggestions about how they should be planned. In such experiments the importance of interaction and hidden replication are emphasized. Such experiments are carried out on heterogeneous experimental material. Thus, it is reasonable to seek a design that can withstand the loss of observations. The robustness of a block design with nested rows and columns against the loss of whole blocks is presented, along with examples of such designs.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Roma community in Romania is one of the largest ethnic communities in this country. Romani people integration and reducing disparities between the Roma community and the majority one is a priority for both the Romanian state and the Roma civil society. The integration of the Roma on the labor market is an important step in the integration process. This article proposes qualitative research through the interview method. The research question investigates whether traditional occupations practiced by Roma do not provide Roma access to the labor market today. The general objective of this study aims to identify and analyze qualitatively non-traditional socio-economic practices in the Roma communities in Timișoara and Cluj-Napoca. This objective has been operationalized in several specific objectives related to the identification of traditional economic practices in the occupations of members of the Roma communities in Timisoara and Cluj-Napoca, depending on membership in the subgroup / ethnic group, the identification of non-traditional economic practices in the occupations of members of the Roma communities in Timișoara and Cluj-Napoca, analysis of the role of traditional economic practices in preserving the lifestyle specific to the Roma ethnic group, as essential elements of culture in the communities of Timișoara and Cluj-Napoca. The last two objectives propose the analysis of non-traditional economic practices taken over in the occupations of the members of the Roma communities from Timișoara and Cluj-Napoca following the process of internal and external migration, respectively following the intervention of European funded programs. The participants of this research are 10 Roma people from Cluj-Napoca and 10 Roma people from Timișoara. The research results show that with industrialization, traditional occupations tend to limit their activity and integrated Roma people no longer practice the traditional occupations practiced by their parents or grandparents.

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Obtaining higher than market returns is a difficult goal to achieve, especially in times of turbulence such as the COVID-19 crisis, which tested the resilience of many models and algorithms. We used a Hidden Markov Models (HMM) methodology based on monthly data (DAX returns, VSTOXX index Germany’s industrial production and Germany’s annual inflation rate) to calibrate a trading strategy in order to obtain higher returns than a buy-and-hold strategy for the DAX index., following Talla (2013) and Nguyen and Nguyen (2015). The stock selection was based on 26 stocks from DAX’s composition, which had enough data for this study, aiming to select the 15 best performing. The training period was January 2000 - December 2015, and the out-of-sample January 2016 - August 2021, including the period of high turbulence generated by COVID-19. Fitting the best model revealed that the following regimes are the most suitable: two regimes for DAX returns, two regimes for VSTOXX and three regimes for the inflation rate and for the industrial production, while the posterior transition probabilities were event-depending on the training sample. Furthermore, portfolios built using HMM strategy outperformed the DAX index for the out-of-sample period, both in terms of annualized returns and risk-adjusted returns. The results were in line with expectations and what other researchers like Talla (2013), Nguyen and Nguyen (2015) and Varenius (2020) found out. We managed to highlight that a strategy calibrated based on HMM methodology works well even in periods of extreme volatility such as the one generated in 2020 by COVID-19 pandemic.
