Cluster-based routing scheme for wireless sensor network using PSO and Firefly algorithms
Authors: Khalilnasl Hossein , Ghaffari Ali 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Energy efficiency is one of the most important challenges in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as the sensor nodes are battery-operated devices. Due to inherent resource constraints in WSNs, energy-efficient data transmission and routing to the sink is an important challenge. On the other hand, the clustering mechanism is an important scheme which can significantly enhance network lifetime. Hence, an energy efficient routing scheme with optimal path selection is essential for WSNs. Since clustering is an NP-Hard problem, this paper proposes a cluster-based routing scheme using particle swarm optimization (PSO) and firefly algorithms for WSNs. In the proposed method, the firefly optimization algorithm was aimed to select appropriate and optimal cluster head (CH) nodes based on the residual energy, free buffer, and distance. PSO was employed to create proper clusters based on the minimum distance and higher residual energy. The optimal path between the CHs and Sink node is selected based on a minimum Euclidean distance. The proposed method is analyzed in terms of packet delivery rate (PDR), throughput, number of alive nodes, end-to-end delay, and average routing overhead. The proposed method is tested extensively on different scenarios, varying number of nodes, packet size, and the number of packets and position of sink node. The results are compared with traditional schemes and some extant algorithms to illustrate the excellence of the proposed scheme.
Impact of rainfall variability and land-use changes on river discharge in Sanaga catchment (forest–savannah transition zone in Central Africa)
Authors: Ebodé Valentin Brice 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Climate change/variability and land-use changes are the main forcings of river discharges variability. However, an understanding of their simultaneous impacts on river discharges remains limited in some parts of the world like in Central Africa. To shed light on this issue, the objective of this article was to investigate the effects of rainfall variability and land-use changes on river discharges in the Sanaga watershed (at Song Mbengue and Nachtigal gauging stations) and some of its sub-watersheds (Mbakaou, Lom Pangar, Magba and Bamendjing) over the 5 or 7 recent decades (depending on the data availability). To achieve this goal, hydrometeorological data of the Sanaga watershed and sub-watersheds were analyzed using the Pettitt and Mann-Kendall tests. Likewise, land-use changes in the watershed and sub-watersheds were also analyzed using supervised classifications of Landsat satellite images of the watersheds at two periods (1984 and 2020). The results show that annual rainfall decreased throughout the Sanaga watershed. This decrease is only statistically significant for the Sanaga watershed at Nachtigal (−5%), for which the study focused on relatively longer hydropluviometric series, including the 1950 and 1960s (wet decades). However, although the rainfall decreased in this watershed, the flows increased insignificantly according to the tests used in most cases. The 2010s seems particularly concerned by this increase, including in the Sanaga watershed at Nachtigal, where the general trend is downward. The flows increase in the Sanaga watershed would be the consequence of the increase in impervious areas in the latter (between +181.3 and +1,300% for built and roads and between +4.1 and +11.9% for bare soils), which would compensate for the drop in precipitation by increasing runoff. These results could be used for long-term planning of water demand and use in this watershed, as well as for improving future simulations of flows.

Authors: Chowdhury Diya , Baiocco-Romano Leonardo , Sacco Veronica , El Hajj Karen , Stolee Paul 
Published: July 2022

Background
Integrating culturally competent approaches in the provision of health care services is recognized as a promising strategy for improving health outcomes for racially and ethnically diverse populations. Person-centered care, which ensures patient values guide care delivery, necessitates cultural competence of health care providers to reduce racial/ethnic health disparities. Previous work has focused on interventions to improve cultural competence among health care workers generally; however, little investigation has been undertaken regarding current practices focused on racialized foreign-born older adults.

Objective
We seek to synthesize evidence from existing literature in the field to gain a comprehensive understanding of interventions to improve the cultural competence of health professionals who care for racialized foreign-born older adults. The aim of this paper is to outline a protocol for a systematic review of available published evidence.

Methods
Our protocol will follow the PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses–Protocols) for systematic review protocols. We will conduct a systematic search for relevant studies from four electronic databases that focus on health and social sciences (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, and Cochrane Database). After selecting relevant papers using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, data will be extracted, analyzed, and synthesized to yield recommendations for practice and for future research.

Results
The systematic review is currently at the search phase where authors are refining the search strings for the selected databases; the search strings will be finalized by July 2022. We anticipate the systematic review to be completed by December 2022.

Conclusions
This study will inform the future development and implementation of interventions to support culturally competent, person-centered care of racialized foreign-born older adults.

El objetivo del estudio fue comparar el efecto de la fuente del clorhidrato de zilpaterol (CZ; patente vs genérico) sobre el comportamiento productivo, características de la canal, rendimientos de cortes primarios y calidad de la carne de corderos finalizados en corral. Se distribuyeron 30 corderos Dorper ×Pelibuey en 10 bloques donde cada bloque tenía tres corderos de similar peso vivo inicial, los cuales se asignaron aleatoriamente a los siguientes tratamientos: 1) sin CZ (testigo), 2) con CZ de patente (CZP), y 3) con CZ genérico (CZG). Las medias de tratamientos se compararon a través de dos contrastes ortogonales: testigo vs. CZ (CZP+CZG) y CZP vs. CZG. El CZ no afectó (P≥0.15) el comportamiento productivo, peso de la canal, espesor de grasa dorsal, ni los porcentajes de grasa (riñón-corazón-pelvis, mesentérica u omental), pero aumentó (P≤0.05) el área del músculo Longissimus dorsi y los rendimientos de canal, paleta, pierna y lomo plano. En calidad de la carne, el CZ no afectó (P≥0.24) el pH y esfuerzo al corte, pero redujo (P<0.05) los valores de color rojizo, amarillento y chroma a las 24 h post mortem, y también los valores de rojizo (P<0.01) a los 14 días de maduración. Con excepción del rendimiento en canal que tendió (P=0.07) a ser mayor con CZP, todas las variables medidas fueron similares (P³0.14) entre CZP y CZG. Se concluye que ambos tipos de CZ a una dosis de 0.10 mg/kg de peso vivo promueven hipertrofia muscular en corderos de finalización, pero no es suficiente para reflejarse en mejor comportamiento productivo y peso de la canal.

OBJECTIVE
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with worsened clinical outcomes in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. We sought to investigate whether HCM patients with T2DM comorbidity exhibit adverse cardiac alterations in myocardial energetics, function, perfusion, or tissue characteristics.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
A total of 55 participants with concomitant HCM and T2DM (HCM-DM) (n = 20) or isolated HCM (n = 20) and healthy volunteers (HV) (n = 15) underwent 31P-MRS and cardiovascular MRI. The HCM groups were matched for HCM phenotype.

RESULTS
Mean ± SD European Society of Cardiology sudden cardiac death risk scores were comparable between the HCM groups (HCM 2.2 ± 1.5%, HCM-DM 1.9 ± 1.2%; P = not significant), and sarcomeric mutations were equally common. HCM-DM patients had the highest median NT-proBNP levels (HV 42 ng/L [interquartile range 35–66], HCM 298 ng/L [157–837], HCM-DM 726 ng/L [213–8,695]; P &lt; 0.0001). Left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, mass, and wall thickness were similar between the HCM groups. HCM-DM patients displayed a greater degree of fibrosis burden with higher scar percentage and lower global longitudinal strain compared with HCM patients. PCr/ATP (the relative concentrations of phosphocreatine and ATP) was significantly lower in the HCM-DM group than in both HCM and HV (HV 2.17 ± 0.49, HCM 1.93 ± 0.38, HCM-DM 1.54 ± 0.27; P = 0.002). In a similar pattern, stress myocardial blood flow was significantly lower in the HCM-DM group than in both HCM and HV (HV 2.06 ± 0.42 mL/min/g, HCM 1.74 ± 0.44 mL/min/g, HCM-DM 1.39 ± 0.42 mL/min/g; P = 0.002).

CONCLUSIONS
We show for the first time that HCM-DM patients display greater reductions in myocardial energetics, perfusion, and contractile function and higher myocardial scar burden and serum NT-proBNP levels compared with patients with isolated HCM despite similar LV mass and wall thickness and presence of sarcomeric mutations. These adverse phenotypic features may be important components of the adverse clinical manifestation attributable to a combined presence of HCM and T2DM.
The Dynamics of Islamic Jurisprudence in The Eyes of Contemporary Muslims

Published: July 2022

ABSTRACTThe emergence of sects and their diversity in Islam is caused by the differences in thought and visions of those who follow these sects. When the differences between the followers of these sects is limited to a mere difference of views on this or jurisprudential issue, it is a disagreement or an acceptable difference. Because there is more than one opinion on one jurisprudential issue, so whoever works with this opinion on the issue, his action is permissible. And, whoever works on the same issue with another thought, his movement is also acceptable, and this is from the capacity of Islam and its mercy to the nation. By examining several books related to the views of the ulama on the schools of thought, it has opened the way for us to verify. The article carried out a descriptive analysis approach and a comparative study of the opinions of scholars in different schools of thought and the fatwas issued by our official fatwa institutions. The article find the fanaticism of the sects is one of the causes of the nation's weakness. So, its unity was torn, and its humiliation intensified for the people. And that, they agree on what they agreed upon of the fixed principles, although various problems arise from time to time. Keywords: Islamic Jurisprudence, Madhab, and Muslim Scholars.ABSTRAKMunculnya mazhab fikih keragamannya dalam Islam disebabkan oleh perbedaan pemikiran dan pandangan dari mereka yang menganut mazhab-mazhab tersebut. Ketika perbedaan antara penganut mazhab ini terbatas pada perbedaan pandangan tentang masalah fikih ini atau itu, itu adalah perbedaan pemahaman dalil atau perbedaan pemikiran dapat diterima; Karena ada lebih dari satu pendapat dalam satu masalah fikih, maka siapa pun yang mengamalkan pendapat ini dalam masalah tertuntu, tindakannya diperbolehkan, dan siapa pun yang mengerjakan masalah yang sama dengan pemikiran lain, amalannya juga diterima, sesuai dengan kapasitas keilmuan yang ada, Islam dan rahmatnya bagi bangsa. Dengan menelaah beberapa kitab yang berkaitan dengan pandangan ulama tentang mazhab, telah membuka jalan bagi kita untuk memverifikasi. Kami melakukan pendekatan analisis deskriptif dan studi komparatif pendapat ulama di berbagai aliran pemikiran dan fatwa yang dikeluarkan oleh lembaga fatwa resmi kami. Kami menemukan Fanatisme sekte adalah salah satu penyebab kelemahan bangsa, sehingga persatuannya terkoyak, dan penghinaannya meningkat untuk rakyat. Dan bahwa mereka menyetujui apa yang mereka sepakati tentang prinsip-prinsip tetap yang tidak berubah walaupun berbagai macam persoalan datang dari masa ke masa.Kata Kunci: Fikih, Mazhab, dan Ulama Kontemporer.

Abstract

Study aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a 10-week of combined training course on concentrations of blood sugar, Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), and lipid profile in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Materials and methods: This clinical trial was performed in diabetic neuropathy women and men (30–60 years old). Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: exercise (EG; n = 10) and control (CG; n = 10). The EG performed 10-week programme with one session of aerobic exercises (40% to 70% of HRReserve) and one session of functional exercises (60–90 min/ day) at the same day for four days/week and the CG performed their daily activities. The Blood glucose, IR, and lipid profile were measured initially and after the intervention.

Results: Repeated-measures ANOVA showed significant decrease in fasting blood sugar (p < 0.01) and HOMA-IR (p < 0.01), and greater improvements in TG (p < 0.05) and LDL (p < 0.05) in EG than CG, but. HDL concentration did not show significant changes.

Conclusion: The 10-week of aerobic-functional training improves fasting blood sugar, IR, and lipid profile in patients with diabetic neuropathy.

Considerations on the Selection Process and Professional Development in Intelligence Organizations
Authors: Kis Alexandru 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The selection process in any domain embraces different principles and various strategies but has the same ultimate target: acquiring the best-equipped candidates for the envisaged jobs. In Intelligence (not exclusively), the personnel selection is centered on the applicants’ skills and traits, personal and professional background, transversal expertise, or technical abilities, as well as development potential – with an outlook on further professional development. Recruitment and talent retention in the military (including Intelligence organisations) reflect the trend of civilian (un)employment. It means motivation and job attractiveness (competing with the civilian job market) are critical elements in selection and performance quality, with variables related to the characteristics of the target audience and/ or the employment’s features. This article provides an assessment of the current approach in the human capital policy in Intelligence and makes a parallel with the competing civilian organisations’ efforts to make use of the best prepared and reliable human resources.
