Penelitian yang mengangkat iklan sebagai objek penelitian, menjadi hal yang menarik bagi peneliti. Karena iklan merupakan media yang memilki tanda visual yang berhubungan dengan tanda yang ada di masyarakat. Tiap tanda-tanda memiliki relasi/ asosiasi, sehingga menghasilkan makna yang tergantung dari sudut pandang pembaca iklan. Peneliti mengambil iklan sebagai objek penelitian yaitu Iklan A Mild tema “ Belum Tua Belum Boleh Bicara” , iklan tersebut menurut peneliti memiliki nilai-nilai feodal yang terdapat dalam tanda – tanda seperti pada komposisi, gesture, warna, aksentuasi, tagline, dll. Studi mengenai tanda atau Semiotika ini, peneliti menggunakan terori dari C.S. Pierce tentang Ikon, Indeks, dan Simbol. Budaya Feodal dalam iklan ini bertujuan untuk mengkritik kondisi dimasyarakat, fenomena yang ada di masyarakat bahwa budaya Feodal masih mempengaruhi seseorang dalam pergaulan, berpikir, berkomunikasi, berpendapat, birokrasi, dll. Sehingga paham seperti ini dapat memperhambat perkembangan masyarakat itu sendiri. Selain itu, budaya Feodal bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip Demokrasi yang memberikan kebebasan untuk melakukan hak masing-masing. Kritikan pada masyarakat melalui tanda-tanda dalam iklan A Mild ini, melalui tampilan burung pelikan tua dan muda yang bertolak belakang, tinggi- rendah, jauh-dekat, warna, ekpresi pelikan. Maka representasi iklan tersebut mengarah pada tanda yang berhubungan dengan relasi sosial.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
—Dynamic models of the seismic, geological, and flow characteristics of a reservoir are the main tool used to evaluate the potential of drilling new infill wells. Static geological models are mainly based on borehole data combined with dynamic analyses of production dynamics. They are used to determine the redevelopment of and adjustments to new drilling locations; however, such models rarely incorporate seismic data. Consequently, it is difficult to control the changes in geological models between wells, which results in the configuration of well positions and predicted results being less than ideal. To improve the development of adjusted areas in terms of their remaining oil contents, we developed a new integrated analysis that combines static sediment modelling, including microfacies analysis (among other reservoir and seismic properties), with production behaviours. Here, we illustrate this new process by (1) establishing favourable areas for static geological analysis; (2) studying well recompletion potential and the condition of non-producing wells; (3) conducting interwell analyses with seismic and sedimentary data; (4) identifying potential sites constrained by seismic and geological studies, as well as initial oilfield production; (5) providing suggestions in a new well development plan.

Abstract
Background: Following the COVID-19 outbreak, the importance of addressing acute stress induced by psychological burdens of diseases became apparent. This study attempted to evaluate the effectiveness of a new mode of psychiatric intervention designed to target similar psychological crises. Methods: Participants included 32 out of 114 COVID in-patients at a hospital in Daegu, Korea, who were assessed between March 30 and April 7, 2020. Multiple scales for screening psychological difficulties such as depressed mood, anxiety, insomnia, acute stress and suicidality were done. Psychological problem evaluations and interventions were conducted in the form of consultations to alleviate participants’ psychological challenges via telepsychiatry. The interventions’ effects, as well as clinical improvements before and after the intervention, were analyzed. Results: As a result of screening, 21 patients were experiencing psychological difficulties beyond clinical thresholds after COVID-19 infection (screening positive group). The remaining 11 were screening negative groups. The two groups differed significantly in past psychiatric histories (p=.034), with the former having a higher number of diagnoses. The effect of the intervention was analyzed, and clinical improvement before and after the intervention was observed. Our intervention was found to be effective in reducing the overall emotional difficultiesConclusions: This study highlighted the usefulness of new interventions required in the context of healthcare following the COVID-19 pandemic.Trial registration: Clinical Trials, NCT04395872.

Computing Techniques for Modeling the Retention of Polar Pharmaceutical Active Compounds by Membranes
Authors: Ammi Yamina , Moussa Cherif Si , Hanini Salah 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The retention of polar pharmaceutical active compounds (PPhACs) by nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes is of paramount importance in membrane separation processes. The retention of 21 PPhACs was correlated using computational intelligence techniques (feedforward neural networks multi-layer perceptron, feedforward neural networks radial basis function, and support vector machines). A database of 541 retention values has been collected from the literature. The results showed a high training and predictive capacity of the FNN-MLP model for the retention of PPhACs by NF/RO with a very high correlation coefficient (R = 0.9714) and a very low root mean squared error (RMSE = 3.9139%) for the all phase, which the FNN-MLP model is better than that obtained using FNN-RBF model (R = 0.7807 and RMSE = 10.2785%) and SVM model (R = 0.9677 and RMSE = 4.1598). The sensitivity analysis was computed and emphasized that the retention of PPhACs is governed by three interactions arranged in descending order: the polarity interactions (hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity) (Relative Importance RI = 75.68%), electrostatic repulsion (RI = 58.88%), and steric hindrance (RI = 54.73% and RI = 32.25%). This research suggests that the PPhACs retention on the NF/RO strongly depend much more on the topological polar surface area.

Abstract
Background
Palliative care for advanced cancer patients improves suffering symptoms, quality of life (QoLs). However, routine implementation of palliative care by specialty palliative care consultation is still unmet need among advanced cancer inpatients. Our study aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of team-based approach on QoLs and readmission rate when compare to routine practice by among medical oncologists.
Methods
This study was prospective, Quasi-Experimental design. Advanced cancer inpatients were non-randomly assigned to receive palliative care service by team-based approach or medical oncologists only. The primary endpoint was QoL. The secondary endpoint was readmission rate at 7, and 30 days of hospital discharge.
Results
One hundred twenty-two inpatients were enrolled. Inpatients who were assessed by team-based approach had significantly improved in change scores of subjective well-being (SWB) when compare to another group (∆ SWB: -1 [-19–11] vs 0 [-9–15], p-value = 0.043). Furthermore, inpatients who were assessed by team-based approach had significantly decreased in term of readmission rate at 7 days of hospital discharge (4.92% in team-based approach group vs. 19.67% in medical oncologist group, p-value = 0.013).
Conclusions
Interdisciplinary collaboration is key success for establishing goal of care, which are supporting the best possible QoL and relieving suffering symptoms for those advanced cancer inpatients. Furthermore, readmission rate at 7 days of hospital discharge was significantly reduced by team-based approach. Therefore, comprehensive palliative care assessment by interprofessional collaborative practice is required.

Abstract
The objective of this research is to evaluate the potential of detecting or degrading 2,3,7,8 Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) in soil using a native plant growing in a contaminated site by gene expression of Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) method. A significant difference in the root length (range of value: 580.2 mm to 799.2 mm) and enzyme activity (range of value: 31.2 to 82.3 nmolmin -1 g -1 total protein) of such indigenous plant was found in 10 µg/L TCDD treatment when compared to other treatments. Thirteen- and twenty-fold levels of gene expression in CYP71C1 and CYP79A61 of the plant growing in the contaminated site were found after 10 µg/L TCDD treatment. Such indigenous plant is sensitive to the detection of such persistent organic pollutant in the field site and involves gene expression change facilitated by a plant-microbe symbiotic association.

Abstract
BackgroundInflammation, autoimmunity, and gut-brain axis have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Carboxyhemoglobin (SpCO) as a non-invasive measurement of inflammation has not been studied in individuals with ASD. We conducted this post-hoc study based on our published clinical trial to explore SpCO and its association with ASD severity, autoimmunity, and response to daily Lactobacillus plantarum probiotic supplementation.MethodsIn this study, we included 35 individuals with ASD aged 3-20 years from a previously published clinical trial of the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive daily Lactobacillus plantarum probiotic (6 × 1010 CFUs) or a placebo for 16 weeks. The outcomes in this analysis include Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), Aberrant Behavior Checklist second edition (ABC-2), Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale, SpCO measured by CO-oximetry, fecal microbiome by 16s rRNA sequencing, blood serum inflammatory markers, autoantibodies, and oxytocin (OT) by ELISA. We performed Kendall’s correlation to examine their interrelationships and used Wilcoxon rank-sum test to compare the means of all outcomes between the two groups at baseline and 16 weeks.ResultsElevated levels of serum anti-tubulin, CaM kinase II, anti-dopamine receptor D1 (anti-D1), and SpCO were found in the majority of ASD subjects. ASD severity is correlated with SpCO, anti-lysoganglioside GM1, anti-tubulin, and anti-D1 in treatment group.ConclusionsThe findings of the present study suggests that the easily administered and non-invasive SpCO test offers a potentially promising autoimmunity and inflammatory biomarker to screen/subgroup ASD and monitor the treatment response to probiotics. Furthermore, we propose that the associations between autoantibodies, gut microbiome profile, serum OT level, GI symptom severity, and ASD core symptom severity scores are specific to the usage of probiotic treatment in our subject cohort. Taken together, these results warrant further studies to improve ASD early diagnosis and treatment outcomes.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03337035, registered November 8, 2017.

Authors: QUIRINY Marie , Shall Firaz , Moreau Michel , Willemse Esther , Sales François , Andry Guy , Digonnet Antoine 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Purpose
The lymph node (LN) status is one of the most important prognostic factors of melanoma. The first treatment of LN metastasis is the lymph node dissection (LND). To date the surgical technic for neck metastasis is discussed. The lymph node ratio (LNR) is defined as the number of invaded LNs dividing by the total number of removed LNs. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of the LNR and the extent of neck LND on the prognosis.
Methods
We recorded LNDs for neck LN metastasis during 16 years. Selective LND (SLND) was limited to the level with LN metastasis. Extensive LND (ELND) was extended to the adjacent LN level. The LNRs were categorized using cutoff points. Among the 62 included patients, 48 LNRs were available for the survival analysis. Time to event endpoint were defined as the time between the event and the date of the previous recurrence. The cut-off p-value for significant statistic was 0.05.
Results
Breslow thickness < 2mm presented a longer OS (p=0.035) and extracapsular spread presented a shorter overall survival (OS) (p=0.035). Clark levels III and IV presented a longer systemic disease free survival. The OS and the regional control were longer when the LNRs were respectively < 5% and < 10%. ELND improved the regional control, compared to SLND (p=0.02).
Conclusion
The ELND could improve the regional control compared to SLND. The LNR of neck LNDs could be a prognostic factor and should be low as possible to improve the outcomes.
OCFSP: Self-supervised One-class Classification Approach Using Feature-slide Prediction Subtask for Feature Data
Authors: Hayashi Toshitaka , Fujita Hamido 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
One-class classification (OCC) is a machine learning problem where training data has only one class. Recently, self-supervised OCC algorithms have been increasing attention. These algorithms train the model for pretext tasks and use the model error for OCC. However, these tasks are specialized for images, and applying them to feature data is not practical or appropriate for such purpose. This paper proposes a one-class classification approach using feature-slide prediction (FSP) subtask for feature data (OCFSP). In particular, the self-labeled dataset is created from training data. In which additional feature vectors are generated by sliding original vectors and self-annotated as the number of the feature slide. Such a dataset is used to train a multi-class classifier, which aims to predict the number of the feature slides. Since this classification model is built using data from only one class, the FSP accuracy for seen data is high relative to unseen data. Accordingly, OCC could be made using the accuracy of FSP. Proposed methods are experimented with using the imbalanced-learn dataset.

Abstract
This study contributes to the literature by developing a hierarchical framework for assessing the strategic effectiveness of waste management in the construction industry. This study identifies a valid set of strategic effectiveness attributes of sustainable waste management in construction. Prior studies have neglected to develop sustainable waste management's strategic effectiveness assessment framework to identify reuse and recycle policy initiatives that ensure waste minimization and resource recovery programs. This study utilizes the fuzzy Delphi method to screen out nonessential attributes in qualitative information. Fuzzy interpretive structural modeling divides the attributes into various elements. It constructs a multilevel model that depicts the interrelationships among the attributes into a hierarchical framework and finds and ranks the optimal drivers for practical improvement. This study integrates the best-worst method to measure different criteria’ weights in the hierarchical strategic effectiveness framework. The findings reveal that waste management operations strategy, construction site waste management performance, and mutual coordination are the top aspects for assessing strategic effectiveness in the hierarchical framework. In practice, the waste reduction rate, recycling rate, reuse rate and noise and air pollution levels are identified to assist policymakers in evaluation. The theoretical and managerial implications are discussed

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Objective
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune connective tissue disease, and interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important complication of SSc. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of polypeptide extract of scorpion venom (PESV) on alleviating pulmonary epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in SSc-ILD mice and its possible mechanism.
Methods
C57/BL6 mice were injected with bleomycin to establish a SSc-ILD model. Different concentrations of PESV solution were administered, and dexamethasone was used as a positive control. Then the lung tissues of mice in each group were removed, and the pathological changes of mice in each group were observed using HE staining and Masson staining. TGF-β1 expression levels were detected by immunohistochemical. The expression of EMT-related proteins E-cadherin, collagenI, vimentin, N-cadherin, and α-SMA was detected by Western blot, and the expression of TGF-β1/Smad pathway-related proteins was also detected. The contents of inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-α and TGF-β1 in serum and BALF were also measured by ELISA.
Results
Pathological analysis showed that PESV alleviated the SSc-ILD induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. The results showed that after PESV treatment, the contents of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly lower than those in the model group. PESV could increase the expression of epithelial marker E-cadherin and reduce the expression of interstitial markers collagenI, vimentin, N-cadherin, and α-SMA. PESV can reduce the expression level of TGF-β1/Smad pathway-related proteins .
Conclusion
PESV can inhibit the EMT and relevant TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway, to alleviate pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis, thus to play a protective effect against SSc-ILD.

Authors: Singh Rimmy , Bhateria Rachna 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Since many centuries, we have progressively tracked our capacities in the field of water contamination. An intense increase in heavy metals have led to the problems needing priority concerns. In this study, we have fabricated nanoparticles as an alternative source to decontaminate heavy metals from water. Hence, the efficacy of Fe3O4 nanoparticles was observed by adsorbing Cr6+ ions from aqueous systems. HRTEM analysis determined the average size of 42.90 nm and spherical morphology of the nanoparticles. Various parameters at their optimum conditions such as pH 2, contact time 50 minutes, temperature 20°C, initial metal concentration of 10 mgL-1 and nanoparticle dose of 60 mg were found to achieve maximum adsorption. Isotherms like Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and D-R were applied to the experimental equilibrium data, and it corresponds to the Temkin model with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.99. Moreover, pseudo second order reaction describes the adsorption which was a three-step process. The negative value of ΔG well describes the physisorption nature, feasibility, and spontaneity of the adsorption process.
