Modeling of wave height using wavelet neural network (Case study: Mandalika beach central Lombok)

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Modeling characteristics of the sea using computational intelligence such as modeling sea wave heights at Mandalika Beach is very crucial to keeping away from traffic accidents at the sea and ensuring that sectoral and regional development is carried out by the government and private sector in coastal areas especially in Mandalika not affected by major losses. Mandalika is one of the Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in the southern part of Lombok Island. As one of the SEZs that focuses on tourism, Mandalika continues to experience rapid progress in developing tourism-supporting infrastructure and sustainable use of marine resources to implement the blue economy concept. Soft computing approaches, including machine learning and deep learning, have shown much success in recent years compared to traditional empirical or numerical forecasting models. This research uses a hybrid method, which accommodates the application of wavelet transformation in pre-processing data with a neural network model as the core model, which is called the Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) model. In this research, 1116 wave height data were organized into 90% training data dan 10% testing data, with the minimum value of Mean Square Error (MSE) generated by the 3-200-1 architecture. Based on the MSE indicator, the value of the training model of 0,00011504, and the testing model of 0,00030131. Then, based on the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) indicator, the model performance is 0.01072567 and 0.0173583. These results show that the resulting wave height model variations are close to the actual wave height variations, and predictions using the WNN model can be said to have a good (significant) level of accuracy.
Deduction of Strategic Planning Guidelines for Urban Medium Voltage Grids with Consideration of Electromobility and Heat Pumps

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

With the evolution of electromobility and heat pumps in urban areas, distribution system operators find themselves facing new challenges in reinforcing their grids. With this evolution, the power demand is developing rapidly and grid reinforcement is urgently needed. The electromobility and heat pump loads are introduced by giving the assumed development scenarios in Germany and their corresponding nominal power assumptions. Furthermore, a method for load modeling in grid planning is explained. Subsequently, several grid planning approaches are presented while dividing them into conventional and innovative planning strategies. Among the investigated innovative planning strategies are three variants of load management that regulate different load types. By analyzing several urban medium voltage grids, this contribution deduces a solid basis for distribution system operators in the form of planning guidelines. The implemented grid planning method leading to the planning guidelines is presented in detail along the contribution.
Comparative assessment of LDL-C and VLDL-C estimation in familial combined hyperlipidemia using Sampson's, Martin's and Friedewald's equations

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Sampson et al. developed a novel method to estimate very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the setting of hypertriglyceridemia. Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is a common primary dyslipidemia in which lipoprotein composition interferes with LDL-C estimation. This study aimed to evaluate performance of LDL-C using this new method (LDL-S) compared with LDL-C estimated by Friedewald's and Martin eq. (LDL-F, LDL-M) in FCHL. Methods Data were collected from 340 subjects with confirmed FCHL. Concordance for VLDL-C measured by ultracentrifugation and LDL-C estimated using these measures compared to Sampson's, Martin's and Friedewald's equations was performed using correlation coefficients, root mean squared error (RMSE) and bias. Also, concordance of misclassified metrics according to LDL-C (< 70 and < 100 mg/dL) and Apo B (< 80 and < 65 mg/dL) thresholds were assessed. Results Sampson's equation was more accurate (RMSE 11.21 mg/dL; R 2 = 0.88) compared to Martin's (RMSE 13.15 mg/dL; R 2 = 0.875) and the Friedewald's equation (RMSE 13.7 mg/dL; R 2 = 0.869). When assessing performance according to LDL-C, Sampson's had highest correlation and lowest RMSE compared to other equations (RMSE 19.99 mg/dL; R 2 = 0.840). Comparing performance strength across triglyceride levels, Sampson's showed consistently improved correlations compared to Martin's and Friedewald's formulas for increasing triglycerides and for the FCHL phenotype of mixed dyslipidemia. Sampson's also had improved concordance with treatment goals. Conclusions In FCHL, VLDL-C and LDL-C estimation using Sampson's formula showed higher concordance with lipid targets assessed using VLDL-C obtained by ultracentrifugation compared with Friedewald's and Martin's equations. Implementation of Sampson's formula could improve treatment monitoring in FCHL.

A re-examination of real interest parity in CEECs using old and new generations of panel unit root tests

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This study applies old and new generations of panel unit root tests to test the validity of long-run real interest rate parity (RIP) hypothesis for ten Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) with respect to the Euro area and an average of the CEECs' real interest rates, respectively. When the panel unit root tests are carried out with respect to the Euro area rate, we confirm the results of previous studies which support the RIP hypothesis. Nevertheless, when the test is performed using the average of the CEECs' rate, our results are mitigated, revealing that the hypothesis of CEECs' interest rates convergence cannot be taken for granted. From a robustness analysis perspective, our findings indicate that the RIP hypothesis for CEECs should be considered with cautions, being sensitive to the benchmark.
Determining effective mentor characteristics in inter-organizational mentoring for managers: an approach based on academics’ and practitioners’ perspectives

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the essential mentor characteristics for effective inter-organizational mentoring. This kind of HR development technique, where mentor and mentee belong to different organizations, is becoming increasingly popular and so far has been scarcely studied. Design/methodology/approach First, a rigorous literature analysis to identify primary mentor characteristics for managers and professionals has been performed; second, a Delphi analysis has determined their relevance according to the opinion of 125 experienced mentors, mentees and program coordinators that have carried out inter-organizational mentoring processes in Spain; and third, an exploratory factor analysis has reclassified the mentor characteristics into a smaller number of factors. Findings In total, 29 relevant mentor characteristics have been identified and valued. The foregoing characteristics are related to seven underlying dimensions or factors that serve to characterize an effective mentor for inter-organizational mentoring programs. Originality/value The research extends the existing literature regarding mentor characteristics of those mentors who are engaged in inter-organizational mentoring. In addition, this work offers a valuable contribution to inter-organizational mentoring research based in a Delphi method that includes both academic and practitioner perspectives in a cultural context that may have not received previous attention. The findings can be valuable for both academics who investigate this topic of growing interest, and for practitioners who must face the selection and training of mentors.
The aesthetics of invective: reflections on the use of verbal violence in the Suns of Independence of Ahmadou Kourouma

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In recent times, one major threat to peace and sustainable democratic governance in Ghana is the upsurge of the use of invective language in public discourse.Ahmadou Kourouma's novel, The suns of independence, which can be classified as a socio-political satire, provides a textual data for a critical analysis of this phenomenon in its aesthetic form.Considering literary products (poetry, drama and prose) as clear manifestations of social discourse, that is communication, this study seeks to examine the use and aesthetic significance of verbal violence in this novel initially published in French as "Les soleils des indépendances" in 1968.In its quest, the study, in the first place, identifies and analyses three forms of invectives considered as verbal violence in use in the novel.In the second place, it examines the causes of their use and their aesthetic or stylistic significance to socio-political discourse in the text, leading to the formulation of critical reflections on the phenomenon as a potential source of socio-political conflict and social disintegration.The study also points out how the intransigent use of vituperation resulting from egocentric pursuits eventually leads to self destruction.In this regard, The suns of independence provides both historical and contemporary textual material for reflections on the realities of the use of invectives and its aesthetic significance in socio-political discourse in fiction.Combining a range of theoretical frameworks in stylistics and pragmatics in the study of discourse, this paper examines both the methods of textual composition and the strategies of interpretation for invectives in the novel.The significance of this study is found in the general contemporary quest for the use of sanitized language in the Ghanaian socio-political discourse for sustainable democratic development and social cohesion.

Ηλεκτρονιακή δομή των οξειδίων ΜΟ 0, M=Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn, μέσω υπολογισμών πρώτων αρχών

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Applying the most reliable ab initio techniques, we studied the neutral, positively and negatively singly charged monoxides of four of the first row transition metals, ΜΟ0,± (Μ = Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn). In particular, we employed the multireference configuration interaction and single reference coupled cluster methodologies in conjunction with basis sets of quadruple?ζ quality. Correlating all valence electrons of both atoms, we constructed full potential energy curves of a total of 152 electronic states, providing spectroscopic constants, dissociation energies, bond distances, dipole moments (for the neutral species) and excitation energies for all of them. The inclusion of the 3s23p6 semi?core electrons in the CI procedure, as well as the influence of the scalar relativistic effects were taken into account selectively for some of them. The numerical results of the present study are compared favorably with the available experimental data, whereas they are more accurate and systematic than any other theoretical work in the previous literature. Concerning the electronic structure, the neutral and positive species of the examined oxides exhibit a clear ionic character, Μ+Ο? and Μ2+Ο? respectively, while for the anions the negative charge is located mainly on the oxygen atom, Μ?Ο?.
Stem Cell A Solution beyond the Pandemic Covid-19 the Uncertainty of being able to Move on

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In a market in Wuhan, China, apparently due to the ingestion of live bats, as part of the culture of the natives, an infection of the virus was generated, which until now has not been effectively treated, which is why we justify expanding our knowledge of a therapeutic alternative that appears, beyond being a preventive treatment, perhaps the solution to this pandemic, the effectiveness of IV mesenchymal cell transplantation, has not been described with conclusive results that allow scientists to propose it as the only treatment, but studies in multiple pathologies show a very favorable immune reaction, modulating inflammatory cascades in inflamed tissues.In addition, it clearly presents a regeneration of it (which is the same) that has powerfully caught the attention of doctors when treating pathologies, autoimmune, degenerative, and chronic pathologies, which to date have had no palliative treatments, such as SLE, post-infarction heart disease, chronic arthritis, Alzheimer's and among others, many laboratory studies were necessary, due to the urgent need of frustrated patients due to the few therapeutic possibilities that led to the use of mesenchymal cells for their treatment.The pneumonias caused by this new virus are of rapid progression and very lethal, with a treatment of little effectiveness and for this reason we have proposed the regulation of cytosines through the transplantation of mesenchymal cells, being these the main causes of complications due to their increase in the systemic reaction.

Heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) in patients treated with sacubitril/valsartan (SV)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction Several studies demonstrated that patients with improvement of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and symptoms had good prognosis in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Based on these results, new classification of HF according to LVEF was currently proposed. Sacubitril/valsartan (SV) is recommended as one of the first-line therapy of HFrEF patients. SV reduced hospitalization for HF and cardiovascular mortality compared to enalapril in PARADIGM-HF trial. However, it is unclear that patients with improvement of LVEF also have better prognosis compared to patients without LVEF improvement among patients treated with SV. Purpose We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF) in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients treated with SV. Methods We analyzed 230 patients with HFrEF taking SV in a multicenter retrospective cohort (RECORD-SV registry) from 2017 to 2019. Enrolled 230 patients were performed baseline and 1-year follow-up echocardiography. Based on 2 echocardiographic results, we defined “HFimpEF” as HF with a baseline LVEF ≤40%, ≥10% increase from baseline LVEF and a follow-up measurement of LVEF &gt;40%. Others were defined as “Persistent HFrEF”. We analyzed and compared clinical characteristics and outcomes between two groups. Primary endpoint was a composite outcome of all-cause death and hospitalization for HF (HHF). Results From 230 patients, 65 patients with HFimpEF and 165 patients with Persistent HFrEF were analyzed. The median follow-up duration was 557 days (interquartile range 364 to 727 days). Patients with HFimpEF had a higher prevalence of female gender (50.8% vs. 30.3%) and de novo HF (44.6% vs. 21.2%). There were no significant differences for age, etiology (ischemic vs. non-ischemic), diabetes, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and HF medications including SV dose between two groups. Patients with HFimpEF showed lower rate of all-cause death or HHF as a primary endpoint compared to patients with persistent HFrEF (6.2% vs. 22.4%; IPTW adjusted HR 0.24; 95% CI 0.13–0.46; p&lt;0.001) (Table 1). It was also shown that HFimpEF patients had a reduced risk of primary endpoint in the Kaplan-Meier curves compared with persistent HFrEF (Log-rank p=0.045) (Figure 1). We demonstrated that Non-prior MI (adjusted OR 7.29; 95% CI 1.50–35.36; p=0.014) and de novo HF (adjusted OR 4.33; 95% CI 1.70–11.04; p=0.002) were independent prognostic factors of HFimpEF in HFrEF patients treated with SV. Conclusions HFimpEF patients had better clinical outcomes compared to those with persistent HFrEF in HFrEF patients treated with SV. Non-prior MI and de novo HF were independent predictors of HFimpEF in patients treated with SV. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding sources: None.
Detection of atomic carbon [CII] 158 micron and dust emission from a z=7.1 quasar host galaxy

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Using the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer, we report the detection of the 158 micron [CII] emission line and underlying dust continuum in the host galaxy of the quasar ULAS J112001.48+064124.3 (hereafter J1120+0641) at z=7.0842+/-0.0004. This is the highest redshift detection of the [CII] line to date, and allows us to put first constraints on the physical properties of the host galaxy. The [CII] line luminosity is (1.2+/-0.2)x10^9 Lsun, which is a factor ~4 lower than observed in a luminous quasar at z=6.42 (SDSS J1148+5251). The underlying far-infrared (FIR) continuum has a flux density of 0.61+/-0.16 mJy, similar to the average flux density of z~6 quasars that were not individually detected in the rest-frame FIR. Assuming the FIR luminosity of L_FIR = 5.8x10^11-1.8x10^12 Lsun is mainly powered by star-formation, we derive a star-formation rate in the range 160-440 Msun/yr and a total dust mass in the host galaxy of 6.7x10^7-5.7x10^8 Msun (both numbers have significant uncertainties given the unknown nature of dust at these redshifts). The [CII] line width of sigma_V=100+/-15 km/s is among the smallest observed when compared to the molecular line widths detected in z~6 quasars. Both the [CII] and dust continuum emission are spatially unresolved at the current angular resolution of 2.0x1.7 arcsec^2 (corresponding to 10x9 kpc^2 at the redshift of J1120+0641).

Sclerosing lipogranuloma: an unusual scrotal mass.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Sclerosing lipogranuloma of the male genitalia without a history of injection of exogenous material is extremely rare. This is the first case reported from a Canadian center. This 33 year old man developed sclerosing lipogranuloma of his scrotum 3 months after being diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis. There was no history of injection of exogenous substances or trauma. His lesion was painless, sudden in onset, "Y-shaped", associated with eosinophila and spontaneously regressed after partial resection. A review of the available English literature on sclerosing lipogranuloma from 1966 to 2001 was completed to compare our case report to previously available reports. The results show definite differences in the presentation of primary versus secondary sclerosing lipogranuloma. Sixty-eight per cent of the cases of primary sclerosing lipogranuloma involved the scrotum only while 63% of secondary sclerosing lipogranuloma involved the penis only. Seven per cent of lesions attributed to primary sclerosing lipogranuloma were painful compared to 69% of secondary sclerosing lipogranulomas. Cases of primary sclerosing lipogranuloma were often described as "Y-shaped" and were unlikely to recur. Understanding the typical presentation of this condition will allow future cases to be recognized more easily and managed appropriately. Primary sclerosing lipogranuloma may be diagnosed by fine needle aspiration or excisional biopsy and then managed conservatively avoiding more complex and invasive surgery.

2D Difference Gel Electrophoresis of Prepubertal and Pubertal Rat Mammary Gland Proteomes

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Rat mammary gland proteomes at day 21 (prepubertal) and day 50 (late puberty) were compared by 2D difference gel electrophoresis. Two-hundred fifty-one spots were significantly different ( p < 0.05) in abundance. Peptide mass fingerprint analysis of a subset of these proteins identified two significantly over-represented classes including structural and blood proteins (increased), and metabolism-relevant proteins (reduced) in day 50 relative to day 21 glands. This is a first report of mammary gland proteome differences at these important breast cancer-relevant time-points.
