description: Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease whose progressiveness can lead to microvascular complications in the form of diabetic nephropathy. Early markers are needed to prevent end stage renal disease (ESRD), one of which is nephrin which is the main component of slit diaphragm. The purpose of this study was to analyze the comparison of urine nephrin and serum nephrin levels as early markers of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 DM. The cross sectional study used samples of type 2 DM who were treated at Hasanuddin University Hospital and examined for urine nephrin, serum nephrin and urine albumin levels. The sample group consisted of type 2 DM patients with normoalbuminuria and microalbuminuria. Statistical test with Mann Whitney test, Chi-Square, Kolmogorov smirnov and ROC curve. Serum nephrin and urinary nephrin levels in type 2 DM patients with microalbuminuria were higher than those in type 2 DM patients with normoalbuminuria (p = <0.001). There was a significant difference between serum nephrin and urine nephrin levels in the type 2 DM group with normoalbuminuria (p=0.002), but there was no significant difference in the microalbuminuria group (p=0.485). Examination of serum nephrin and urine nephrin levels can be used as early markers of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 DM with cut-off values for serum nephrin and urine nephrin are 3.09 ng/mL and 6.84 ng/mL with sensitivity and specificity for serum nephrin are 96% and 60% while sensitivity and specificity for urine nephrin are 92% and 73.3%.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic affected daily life significantly and had massive consequences for healthcare systems with tremendous regional differences. This retrospective study aimed to investigate whether the pandemic and resulting societal changes impacted the diagnosis of pediatric malignancies in a distinct region. Pediatric cancer cases in Bavaria (2016–2021) and SARS-CoV-2 proceedings during the peak phase of the pandemic (2020–2021) were retrospectively analyzed. All new diagnoses of pediatric malignancies reported from cancer centers in Bavaria were included. Clinical data from pre-pandemic years was compared to diagnoses made during the pandemic. Official SARS-CoV-2 reports were received from the Bavarian Health and Food Safety Authority and data on regional pandemic measures were obtained from the Healthcare Data Platform. With this design, a comprehensive analysis of the pandemic proceedings was performed. We found significantly decreased incidence-rate ratios for pediatric cancer diagnosis during the early spring peak of SARS-CoV-2 as it was observed in May during the pandemic, followed by non-significantly increased metastatic cancer diagnosis two months later. Additionally, the time-to-diagnosis of pediatric malignancies was significantly prolonged during the pandemic, and outpatient contacts were significantly reduced, although the availability of consultations remained the same. From our findings, we may hypothesize that there have been effects on pediatric cancer diagnosis during the COVID-19 pandemic at vulnerable times. Interpretation of changes remains speculative with potential causes from behavior patterns, such as hesitation, concerns, and potential societal changes during phases of public restrictions, rather than overwhelmed medical capacities. Nevertheless, specific awareness is needed to protect this patient population during potential future pandemics.

description: The increasing incidence of bacterial infections has led to rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a significant concern in public health across the globe. Henceforth, there is an urgency to address the AMR catastrophe, including developing new antibiotics, promoting the appropriate use of existing antibiotics, and investing more in research and development. Development of potent antibiotic derivatives is the call of the day. Herein, we designed a novel series of ciprofloxacin derivatives joined with sulfa-drugs (CIS1-15) and screened them against E. coli Dihydropteroate synthase and DNA gyrase through molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. MD simulation displayed the dynamics stability of the top-ranked docked poses, while flexibility and low-energy conformational states of these complexes the dynamics stability of the top-ranked docked poses. In contrast, the flexibility and low-energy conformational states of these complexes were inferred using principal component analysis and free energy landscape analysis. The derivatives of CIS2, CIS3, CIS5, CIS6, CIS8 and CIS15 showed strong binding affinity against both the target receptors with retention of conformational stability during MD. Pre- and post-MD snapshots show the crucial role of Arg63, Arg1072, Gly1073, and Val71 residues in the recognition of ciprofloxacin derivatives. Our in-depth structural study advocates that CIS5 and CIS6 could effectively inhibit DNA gyrase and dihydropteroate synthase. Overall, our comprehensive computational approach employed in this study establishes a benchmark for the identification of physiologically significant small molecules against emerging drug targets to design drugs based on their structure and locating potent drug-like molecules with promise for antibacterial potential.

description: Abstract

This research was conducted using normative juridical methods to determine the regulations and limitations on the use of drones in Indonesia, as well as various strategies for preventing security risks from the use of drones in public spaces. This is because there have been various cases of drone use in Indonesia and internationally which are detrimental to public security and safety. The results of this research are that regulations on the use of drones in Indonesia are regulated in two Minister of Transportation Regulations which contain restrictions on air space, time, height, and various prohibitions on the use of drones. To minimize the security risks of drone use, four prevention strategies should be employed. First, regulate the use of drones through legislation. Second, set restrictions that the use of drones is prioritized using VLOS rules so that the drones used can be seen directly in the airspace by remote pilots. Third, the use of drones in residential areas must meet the requirements of safe altitude, remote pilot liability for compensation, availability of emergency landing areas, understanding of obstacles, drone operating capabilities, and flight paths approved by the Director General of Transportation RI. Fourth, it regulates the limitation that drones can only be used during the day, if used at night it must have approval from the Director General of Transportation.

description: Abstract

In data-intensive cloud applications, maintaining data integrity amid frequent data block modifications poses a significant challenge. Despite employing blockchain to track data file updates, delays occur as blocks are added only upon majority consensus, causing update delays. To address this, we propose a Lazy Blockchain methodology that efficiently records updates. By tracking transactions and system state commitments, blocks are added lazily post verification, accommodating the rapid update frequency. Our methodology ensures integrity checks and has demonstrated efficiency across various parameters. The results highlight the solution’s efficacy in managing data updates while maintaining integrity.

description: Abstract

This study aims to obtain information about the impact of socioeconomic factors on organic cocoa production in Palolo District, Sigi Regency. The hypothesis tested is that there is a positive effect between socioeconomic factors and cocoa production. The socioeconomic factors comprise nine indicators that affect cocoa production: (X1) the number of productive cocoa trees, (X2) compost fertilizer, (X3) eco-farming fertilizer, (X4) family labor, (X5) external labor, (X6) farming experience, (X7) frequency of attending agricultural extension sessions, (X8) number of dependents, and (X9) education. The method used is a survey method with descriptive quantitative data analysis techniques. The target population includes all cocoa farmers in the Palolo District, totaling 123 households. The research sample consists of 52 households using proportional random sampling techniques. Data collection techniques used a Likert scale questionnaire model. The research results indicate that the socioeconomic factors affecting organic cocoa production carried out by farming groups in Palolo District are highly significant, as seen in the independent variables: the number of productive cocoa trees, family labor, external labor, farming experience, frequency of attending agricultural extension sessions, number of dependents, education, and types of fertilizers, with a percentage of 95.40%, while the remaining 4.60% is attributed to other factors. Moreover, socioeconomic factors also partially affect the application of organic cocoa fertilizer usage, which can be observed in the variables of the frequency of attending agricultural extension sessions, farmers' education level, farming experience, and number of dependents.

description: Abstract

With global advancement, Information Technology has led to the growth of numerous Service Providers, which, in turn, has resulted in fierce competition between themselves. For Service Providers, the most prevalent obstacle is the handling of customer churn, retention, and satisfaction of customers for successful market sustenance. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) concentrates on boosting, sustaining, and building long term customer associations. CRM relies on the collection of information prior to making decisions. When a customer halts the existing service provider relationship and shifts to another, this is referred to as churn. The overall business profit and image are perturbed by this never-ending motion of churning. Therefore, it is more preferable to stop customers from churning and going for forecasting. In this work, churn prediction in telecom sector is investigated.  Artificial Neural Network are used for prediction. To enhance the performance of the ANN, it is required to optimize its structure. From a given solution set, the global optimum can be detected utilizing the probabilistic method of Simulated Annealing (SA). Various optimization problems related to engineering and other areas have been resolved favourably with Population-Based Incremental Learning (PBIL) utilization. For predicting customer churn, this work has proposed a structure optimized Hybrid Simulated Annealing – Population-Based Incremental Learning ANN. Further deep learning techniques were used to improve the Churn prediction.

description: Appendicitis is among the most frequent reasons for pediatric abdominal surgeries. With recent advances in machine learning, data-driven decision support could help clinicians diagnose and manage patients while reducing the number of non-critical surgeries. Previous decision support systems for appendicitis focused on clinical, laboratory, scoring and computed tomography data, mainly ignoring abdominal ultrasound, a noninvasive and readily available diagnostic modality. To this end, we developed and validated interpretable machine learning models for predicting the diagnosis, management and severity of suspected appendicitis using ultrasound images. Our models were trained on a dataset comprising 579 pediatric patients with 1709 ultrasound images accompanied by clinical and laboratory data. Our methodological contribution is the generalization of concept bottleneck models to prediction problems with multiple views and incomplete concept sets. Notably, such models lend themselves to interpretation and interaction via high-level concepts understandable to clinicians without sacrificing performance or requiring time-consuming image annotation when deployed.

description: Abstract

Background: A conservative procedure called a pulpotomy is used to keep decaying primary teeth in place until permanent teeth develop. The main polyphenol found in green tea, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), has several health benefits, including being an antioxidant, inflammatory reducer, antiseptic, and antibacterial. The objective of the present investigation was to histopathologically analyze and compare the dental pulp responses of dogs to EGCG and 1\5 concentration of Buckley's formula of FC as essential pulpotomy medicines. Methods: Two healthy Mongrel dogs' teeth were randomly selected for the experimental split-mouth study. EGCG and FC were used as vital pulpotomy agents. The treated teeth were assessed at four and nine weeks, and the pulp tissues were checked for fibrosis, inflammation, and other histological alterations. In addition to using an "independent samples t-test" to compare the means of two treated groups, a Paired t-test was performed to compare the means of the same group over two-time intervals. Results: When comparing the EGCG group at 4 weeks of treatment to the FC group, there was a noticeable reduction in pulp inflammation, vasodilation, and necrosis. After nine weeks of treatment, the FC group showed more destruction of the odontoblastic layer than the EGCG group, as well as substantial increase in fibrosis and necrosis. Conclusion:  With respect to the study's limitations, the histological evaluation of the experimental animal model demonstrated that EGCG was more effective than FC as a pulp capping medication for vital pulpotomy.

Detect & Reduce Excessive Antibiotic Medication (DREAM): Machine learning guided antibiotic therapy discontinuation to reduce overuse in hospitals
Creators: name: Scherer, David
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2023

description: This thesis addresses the critical problem of antibiotic overuse in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), a prevalent issue that leads to numerous risks such as increased antimicrobial resistance, severe side effects, and elevated healthcare costs. Despite the growing awareness and countermovements advocating for judicious antibiotic use, a not inconsiderable proportion of unnecessary antibiotic treatments are stopped too late. Bridging this gap, our study presents a novel flexible Machine Learning (ML) pipeline, comprising two innovative models that employ a direct and an indirect method to assess the necessity of antibiotic treatments during the initial critical days of patient care and aiming to provide clinicians with a reliable tool to discontinue unnecessary antibiotic treatments safely. By comparing the outcomes of these models using a custom performance metric, are we able to compare different approaches with each other. Additionally, the models’ decision-making processes are elucidated through SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values, offering deep insights into the factors influencing their recommendations. A significant part of our research is dedicated to validating the models’ transferability across unseen datasets, ensuring their applicability in various clinical settings. This work not only contributes to the enhancement of clinical decision-making but also stands as a significant step towards reducing the adverse effects associated with antibiotic overuse in ICUs.

Parabrachiella exilis

description: Parabrachiella exilis (Shiino, 1956)
Syn. Brachiella sp. (Barnard 1955a)
Parabrachiella mugilis (Kabata et al. 1971)
Material examined. Two females (S.A.M A8526) from the axil of the pectoral fin of the thin-lipped grey mullet Liza ramada, off Table Bay deposited in the Iziko South African Museum.
Remarks. Parabrachiella exilis was originally described as Epibrachiella exilis collected from the gills of Kyphosus vaigiensis (Quoy & Gaimard) in the Sea of Japan (Shiino 1956). The species was redescribed from the pectoral fin of Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, in Chilean waters and together with other species, transferred to Neobrachiella (Castro & Baeza 1986) where after it was reported again from the same host (Luque & Farfán 1991). All Neobrachiella species were later transferred to Parabrachiella (Piasecki et al. 2010). Parabrachiella exilis can be distinguished from its congeners by the general habitus of the female body and the arrangement of the posterior processes, with the median pair arising from the dorsal part of the trunk being shorter than the two lateral pairs. However the females described from different localities may vary in size, with female specimens from Japanese waters appearing to be larger in size than the specimens from Chilean waters (Castro & Baeza 1986; Knoff et al. 1994). Eubrachiella mugilis (Kabata, Raibaut & Ben Hassine) was described from specimens attached to the pectoral fins of Liza aurata (Risso) and Liza saliens (Risso) from Lake Tunis (Kabata et al. 1971; Ho & Takeuch 1996). It was also transferred to Neobrachiella (Ho & Takeuch 1996) and thereafter to Parabrachiella (Piasecki et al. 2010). A thorough examination of the morphology of P. exilis and P. mugilis, as described and illustrated by Shiino (1956); Kabata et al. (1971) Castro & Baeza (1986); Luque & Farfán (1991) and Knoff et al. (1994) reflects that the two species are similar in the structure of the armature, the attachment site (pectoral fin) with members of Mugilidae being infected, with the exception of the type species being described from the gills of a member of Kyphosidae Gill. The only difference between the specimens is the size of the posterior processes in relation to the sizes of the females (Shiino 1956; Castro & Baeza 1987; Knoff et al. 1994; Ho & Takeuch 1996). Therefore P. exilis and P. mugilis are conspecific and are synonymized.

description: Recent advances in brain computer interfaces (BCI) have been shown to enable control of external prosthesis, restore paralyzed limb movements and to improve communication. In the field of communication, electrocorticography (ECoG), has emerged as one of the most promising techniques, especially when used together with deep learning. However, among the main challenges of this method are the low signal to noise ratio and the difficulty to obtain data. To improve the low signal to noise ratio, we developed a novel ECoG array that incorporates electrodes on the upper face of the electrodes’ array to serve as ground electrodes. To assess the suitability of these electrodes as ground, we investigated whether these upward facing electrodes measured electrical activity independent of the neural activity recorded by the standard downward facing electrodes. We computed correlations between the signals of the downward facing electrodes and the upward facing electrodes. Then, we analysed how the functional responses of the downward facing electrodes vary when using the upward facing electrodes as a reference. To address the issue of data scarcity, we explored the potential of transfer learning applied to a deep neural network. We investigated whether performance could be improved by using data from multiple participants to pretrain the network. Different transfer learning approaches were tested on a modified version of EEGNet. The results of the upward facing electrodes showed great promise in increasing the signal to noise ratio, and transfer learning showed to improve the decoding performances of the neural network. First, our findings demonstrate that an electrode facing upwards and placed in the middle of the grid could be a reliable candidate for a ground electrode. Secondly, we show that sequential transfer learning is the most promising approach to improve individual syllables decoding performance. The mean accuracy increase for all participants with limited data is of 15% compared to no transfer learning. These findings have the potential to significantly enhance the robustness of the recording method and to guide towards the development of a generalized deep neural network that could address the challenge of data scarcity. The later advancement is especially beneficial for individuals who have lost the ability to speak and for which it will not be possible to collect speech data.

description: Abstract

The aim of this research is to find out the model Reconstruction of Law Enforcement, Control and Utilization of Abandoned Land in Indonesia. This type of research is normative legal research, namely research that examines positive legal norms and legal principles that apply in Indonesia, especially in various laws and regulations regarding the Control and Utilization of Abandoned Land. The approaches used are: Philosophical Approach, Conceptual Approach, Legislative Approach, case approach, and comparative approach. The theories used are the theory of the Rule of Law, Theory of Justice, Theory of Legal Protection, Theory of Legal Certainty, and Theory of Hierarchy of Legislative Regulations. The research results show that it is the obligation of the State through the government to control and regulate the control, ownership, use and utilization of land for the greatest prosperity of the people. The form of implementation of control and use of abandoned land in Indonesia is not in accordance with the mandate of Article 33 (3) of the 1945 Constitution and UUPA, this is because there are procedures for controlling abandoned land which are in conflict with Law Number 30/2004 in addition to the absence of conflict mapping resulting from land use. Neglected for a long time and not up to the mark. Therefore, a reconstructed model of law enforcement for controlling and utilizing abandoned land is needed, in the form of: a publicity principle model in controlling abandoned land, a win-win solution model in controlling abandoned land, a model for revoking certificates of land rights based on the determination of abandoned land and mapping conflicts over abandoned land so that its utilization can be right on target.
Interpretable Multimodal Learning for Survival Analysis with Missingness
Creators: name: Li, Haobo

description: Medical data often comes in a multimodal fashion; it encompasses diverse formats such as images, videos, time series, and tabular data. To perform accurate medical predictions, deep learning models need to address three primary obstacles. The most crucial task is to fuse information from different medical modalities for accurate predictions. Additionally, the absence of modalities requires efficient missingness handling strategies. 
Furthermore, the inherent black-box nature of deep learning models poses difficulties in interpreting the role of each modality in the prediction process. In this study, we introduce the Multimodal Survival Variational Auto-Encoder (MSVAE), a multimodal framework designed for accurate survival predictions under modality missingness. Moreover, we propose a novel modality importance metric that helps interpret multimodal predictions by ranking the contribution of each modality. This importance metric, when applied to missing data, informs which missing modality is most important for optimizing medical predictions.

description: Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving ability is the ability of students to understand and solve mathematical problems that are given comprehensively. However, in reality this ability is still a concern and needs to be improved. One of the factors that needs to be considered in the independent curriculum is the multiple intelligence of students. So far, the multiple intelligences possessed by students have not been considered in the learning process. Students with different intelligences will have different ways of learning. To overcome this, it is necessary to design e-modules that can help students in online learning. Because intelligence is one of the factors that determine the success of the learning process, the designed e-module will also pay attention to the potential of multiple intelligences possessed by students. The purpose of this research is to produce a valid, practical, and effective compound intelligence-based e-module to improve students' mathematical problem-solving skills. This development research uses the Plomp model, which consists of three phases, namely preliminary research, development or prototyping phase, and assessment phase. The instruments used are interview guidelines, observation sheets, questionnaires, and tests of mathematical problem-solving abilities. The data obtained were analyzed in descriptive statistical and descriptive techniques. The results obtained are that valid and practical system of two-variable linear equations topic e-modules have been produced based on student responses.

description: Le présent article propose de poser un regard sur ce qu’on peut percevoir comme un paradoxe du monachisme bénédictin au Moyen Âge : sa somptuosité face à l’idéal de dépouillement que suppose cet état de vie. L’exemple du testament de l’abbé Suger de Saint-Denis (†1151) nous permet d’observer l’articulation nuancée entre la dépossession personnelle du moine faisant partie de son identité monastique et les possessions du monastère qui ne font pas l’objet de réglementations.
