Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper describes an indoor localization system based on RO-SLAM technique, which has been led to \nexperimentation. The proposed system has been considered to have low power consumption. The nodes of the \nnetwork are based on the well-known architecture TelosB. A distance estimation study has been developed in \norder to determine the relationship between radio power signal strength in a radio link and distance between \nnodes. This relationship has a high variability and given its importance for successful tracking, much of this \nwork has been devoted to its study. This system could be applied as a usefull solution for localization in a \nwarehouse, where GPS-based system does not work. Based on the results obtained, this system is deemed as \nfeasible because the motes have been localized with an acceptable error (1.2 m) under real conditions.
Semiotika Charles Sanders Peirce pada Buku Ilustrasi Nanti Kita Cerita Tentang Hari Ini Karya Marchella FP

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract: The book Nanti Kita Cerita Tentang Hari Ini (NKCTHI) containing simple sentences and illustrations has attracted the attention of many Indonesian people and has become a best seller book since its release by Gramedia at the end of 2018. This study aims to reveal the meaning behind three simple illustrations of its characters named Ekso, Ego, and Emo by Marchella FP as the illustrator and author of this book. The approach used is descriptive qualitative using Charles Sanders Peirce's theory of semiotic analysis through unlimited semiosis. The results of this study illustrate that the characters of Ekso, Ego, and Emo are embodiments of the id, ego, and superego which are part of the formation of the human personality proposed by Sigmund Freud. After being analyzed using Peirce's semiotics, it can be found that the three illustrations contain meanings about human self-control in living a more peaceful life.

A Clinically Validated Human Capillary Blood Transcriptome Test For Global Systems Biology Studies

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To prevent and treat chronic diseases, including cancer, a global application of systems biology is needed. We report here a whole blood transcriptome test that needs only 50 μl of capillary (fingerprick) blood. This test is suitable for global applications because the samples are preserved at ambient temperature for up to 4 weeks and the RNA preservative inactivates all pathogens, enabling safe transportation. Both the laboratory and bioinformatic steps are automated and performed in a clinical lab, which minimizes batch effects and creates unbiased datasets. Given its clinical testing performance and accessibility to traditionally underrepresented and diverse populations, this test offers a unique ability to reveal molecular mechanisms of disease and enable longitudinal, population-scale studies.
Utilising GIS-based spatial land resource analysis for subsidised fertiliser allocation in Jombang Regency, Indonesia

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

A subsidised fertiliser policy is a clear option to increase rice production and maintain farmer benefits. It has proven to be costly and hence needs to be effectively calculated. This research proposes the use of advanced multi- disciplinary techniques to precisely estimate annual fertiliser demands for food production, based on the local field conditions and crop characteristics. Time-series satellite imageries (Landsat 8 Surface Reflectance of Operational Land Imager) were analysed to identify the annual cropping patterns, delineate agricultural field boundaries, and estimate land area. Monitoring and data collection on cropping patterns were conducted using normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) data. The corrected rice field maps and cropping patterns were validated through field inspections. Subsequently, soil sampling and analysis were performed to determine precise fertiliser doses for each crop during each planting season. Finally, a fertiliser demand allocation map was created to inspect the results visually. A case study conducted in Jombang Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia, highlighted a gap of approximately 5.91 Mg urea and 1.02 Mg NPK in fertiliser demand measured using this study method as compared to the current subsidised fertiliser allocation. This gap could lead to an ineffective use of the fertiliser subsidy budget, which could jeopardise achieving the national food production target. Therefore, this study urges government stakeholders to implement the proposed method to maintain national food security in the country.
Initial aggregate formation: Disentangling the effects of soil texture, OM properties and microbial community using artificial model soils

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

&lt;p&gt;The interaction between mineral particles and organic matter (OM) is an important and complex process in the course of soil structure formation. For a better understanding it is necessary to disentangle the texture-dependent interplay of individual OM types and mineral particles. We developed an experimental set-up to study early aggregate formation within a controlled lab environment. Artificial soil microcosms with a mineral mixture resembling arable soils of three different textures (clay loam, loam and sandy loam) were used in a short-term, 30-day incubation experiment under constant water-tension. OM was added individually either as plant litter (POM) of two different sizes (0.63-2 mm and &lt; 63 &amp;#181;m, respectively) or bacterial necromass (Bacillus subtilis). The mechanisms of soil structure formation were investigated by isolating water-stable aggregates after the incubation, analyzing their mechanical stability and organic carbon allocation, and measuring the specific surface area and OM covers of the mineral surface, microbial activity, and community structure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The dry mixing process and incubation of the mineral mixtures led to particle-particle interactions and fine particle coatings of the sand grains as shown by a reduction of the specific surface area. The OM input of all types caused between 3 to 17% of the mineral surfaces to be covered by OM, with larger covered areas in the clay-rich mixtures. The added OM was quickly accessed and degraded by microbes, as shown by the peak in CO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;-release within the first 10 days of the incubation. The POM of both sizes induced the predominant formation of water-stable macroaggregates (0.63-30 mm) with a mass contribution of 72 to 91% (irrespective of texture) and fostered the development of a microbial community with a high relative abundance of fungi. The bacterial necromass induced the formation of macroaggregates, but also microaggregates (63-200 &amp;#181;m), while the microbial community was dominated by bacteria. The mechanical stability analysis showed that very small forces &lt; 4 N were sufficient for aggregate failure and breakdown to 80% of the original aggregate size.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We propose that the microbial degradation of all OM types leads to small, distinct OM clusters consisting of OM substrate, microbes, and extracellular polymeric substances. These interact with mineral particles, resulting in the cross-linking of particles and formation of water-stable aggregates in all textures. The OM can thereby act both as microbial substrate and as structural building block. The initially formed aggregates are a loosely connected scaffold with a very low mechanical stability. Differences in the developed microbial community may lead to additional stabilization mechanisms, like fungal hyphae enmeshing and stabilizing larger aggregates also in sandy texture.&lt;/p&gt;
Conserved Homoplastic Cartilage In Tympanoplasty

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

AbstractAccording to published investigations the serviceability of cartilage homograft mainly depends on its weak antigenicity. The authors have reconstructed 103 eardrums and 8 ossicular chains by means of homoplastic cartilage from nasal septum, conserved in 70% alcohol. No reject reactions were noted, and in two revisited ears the graft was found to have no signs of resorption. In 15 cases out of 103 a secondary perforation occurred after myringoplasty with thin cartilage usually covered with thin fascia from cutside. The relatively high degree of secondary perforations is accounted for by the authors by the fact that large or total perforations were chosen for cartilage myringoplasty. The authors consider the cartilage homograft suitable as reconstruction material of the eardrum in cases with large or total perforation.
As we see ourselves, so shall we be seen: identity and the artist’s practice

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

I have always been at once fascinated and disquieted by the power of history to shape identity. As a Canadian raised on the Prairies, and a transplanted Chilean immigrant who has a combination of indigenous South American and European heritage, my ethnicity has made seeing only one side of any historical event a near impossibility. How does a person with a multi-faceted ethnic identity interpret the colonization of the Americas? From the view of the indigenous part of me, who mourns the millions lost, or of the European parts of me seeking a chance at a better life? Am I the slave or the slave owner, heathen or saint, explorer or exile, conqueror or conquered? Because of this dichotomy of viewpoints, my explorations of the effects of history, particularly the effects of cultural colonization on personal identity, have become one of the primary motivations for the sculptures that I create.
The distribution of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression and the efficacy and safety of treatments in HER2-expressing advanced or metastatic gastroesophageal cancer: A systematic literature review (SLR).

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

405 Background: HER2 overexpression plays an important role in determining treatment options for patients with gastroesophageal cancer (GEC). HER2 overexpression has historically been defined dichotomously as HER2-positive (HER2+) or HER2-negative. An emerging potentially clinically relevant category is HER2-low, which could be targeted with HER2-directed antibody drug conjugates. However, data on the epidemiology and outcomes associated with HER2-low GEC are limited. Methods: An SLR of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases was conducted to identify clinical trials, observational studies, and meta-analyses reporting clinical outcomes or distribution of HER2 expression by IHC and ISH in advanced or metastatic (a/m) GEC. Key inclusion criteria were: English language, published between 2013-2023, and sample size ≥100 HER2-expressing patients. HER2+ was defined as IHC score of 3+ or IHC 2+ and ISH+. HER2-low was defined as IHC 1+ or IHC 2+ and ISH-. Weighted averages were calculated for the proportion of patients who were HER2+ and HER2-low to estimate of the proportion of patients in each HER2 expression category. Results were categorized by patient population (all GEC or gastric cancer [GC] only). Results: Of 2,701 non-duplicated records screened, 174 studies met inclusion criteria. Distribution of HER2 expression was reported in 111 studies, 5 of which reported on the frequency of HER2 expression of IHC 1+ and/or IHC 2+ and ISH+. HER2 expression status varied by patient population, with a weighted average of 26.9% for HER2-low and 13.1-16.5% for HER2+ across groups (Table). Different cutoffs for HER2 amplification via ISH also affected the proportion of patients in each HER2 category across studies. Efficacy and safety outcomes were stratified by HER2 status or IHC results in 74 studies. However, only 3 observational studies reported outcomes separately for the HER2-low population, and results were inconclusive. Conclusions: The distribution of HER2 expression in a/m GEC in the identified studies is highly heterogenous, likely due to variability in IHC scoring and patient populations. Few studies with sufficient samples size (≥100 patients with HER2-expression a/mGEC) reported outcomes for HER2-low a/m GEC, and those that were identified were of low quality. The HER2-low a/m GEC population constitutes an unmet need for effective therapy. There is a need for consistent use of a standardized definition of HER2-low in a/mGEC and additional studies to better evaluate treatment options and outcomes for this patient population.

Needleless Access Disinfection Standardization Improves Compliance and Decreases Central-line Associated Infections Within Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care Units

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Advances in medical technology have allowed pediatric patients to be discharged home with complex devices, including central venous catheters (CVCs). For these patients to be safely discharged, families require training to care for these catheters. At a large children's hospital, extensive family education and training for CVCs was already established. However, community caregivers were not receiving the same training. In an effort to target these caregivers, an education program was designed and implemented in 2011.The program was originally designed and implemented by nurses on a gastroenterology unit and has expanded to include instructors from the vascular access team, hematology/oncology department, and pulmonary department. All community nurses providing care for pediatric patients in the region are welcome to attend the free class with education hours offered. The class is structured with lecture time and skills practice through simulation.Since the program began in 2011, 34 classes have been offered and 305 nurses have attended from multiple home health companies and school districts in the region. Community-acquired central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates for the pediatric gastroenterology and oncology patient populations have decreased significantly since the class began.An education program targeting nurses in the community who care for complex patients with CVCs can decrease community-acquired infection rates and complications. This program can be designed and tailored for multiple patient populations with varying complexities and medical devices.
A comparative study of the effects of laser and LED radiation on lipid peroxidation in rat wound fluid

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The effect of laser (632 nm) and LED (630 nm) on lipid peroxidation in rat wound fluid (exudate) was studied with the aim of comparing the efficiency of coherent and incoherent light on the processes that take place during wound healing. The study was performed using the model of cut aseptic wounds proposed by L.I. Slutskii. It was shown that irradiation of wounds with light of both laser and LED caused a decrease in the concentration of lipid peroxidation products in wound fluid as compared with the control group. An increase in the antioxidative activity of wound fluid was observed. It was concluded that irradiation with light of both laser and LED decreases the level of oxidative stress in wound fluid and that radiation coherence does not play a significant role.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The development of children's character is influenced by the synergy between the responsibilities of parents and teachers, as well as those of home, school, and community. This study aims to find a model of synergy or cooperation between parents and educators in helping adolescents develop character, kinship, discipline, and honesty. The subject of the study was SMA Negeri 3 Denpasar, using a descriptive qualitative research design. The informants were parents, vice principals, and teachers. The researcher is instrumental in this investigation. Techniques for collecting data include documentation, interviews, and observation. Data analysis methods include steps to reduce data, data visualization, and conclusions. The results of this investigation show that the synergy models or patterns applied in optimizing the roles of teachers and parents are 1) enforcing school regulations and 2) building communication and coordination between teachers and people. The implications of this pattern impact the success of character building in students to the maximum. Following up on the results of this study, regarding the program of activities implemented at home and school, parents and teachers must communicate effectively with each other.
Identification of a neutralizing epitope in the βE–βF loop of VP1 of equine rhinitis A virus, defined by a neutralization-resistant variant

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Equine rhinitis A virus strain 393/76 (ERAV.393/76) was passaged in the presence of post-infection ERAV.393/76 equine polyclonal antiserum (EPA). Viruses with increased resistance to neutralization by EPA were obtained after 15 passages. Compared with the parent virus, five plaque-purified, neutralization-resistant mutant viruses, in addition to the non-plaque-purified viruses that were examined, had a Glu→Lys change at position 658, which is located in the predicted β E– β F (EF) loop of VP1. Rabbit antiserum was prepared against the isolated EF loop of ERAV.393/76 VP1 expressed as a fusion protein with glutathione S -transferase. This antiserum bound to purified ERAV.393/76 in Western blots, but not to the neutralization-resistant mutant virus or to ERAV.PERV/62, a naturally occurring ERAV strain that has a Lys residue at position 658. These results suggest that the EF loop of VP1 is involved in a neutralization epitope of ERAV.
Parametric bootstrap approximation to the distribution of EBLUP and related prediction intervals in linear mixed models

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Empirical best linear unbiased prediction (EBLUP) method uses a linear mixed model in combining information from different sources of information. This method is particularly useful in small area problems. The variability of an EBLUP is traditionally measured by the mean squared prediction error (MSPE), and interval estimates are generally constructed using estimates of the MSPE. Such methods have shortcomings like under-coverage or over-coverage, excessive length and lack of interpretability. We propose a parametric bootstrap approach to estimate the entire distribution of a suitably centered and scaled EBLUP. The bootstrap histogram is highly accurate, and differs from the true EBLUP distribution by only O(d<sup>3</sup>n<sup>−3/2</sup>), where d is the number of parameters and n the number of observations. This result is used to obtain highly accurate prediction intervals. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of this method over existing techniques of constructing prediction intervals in linear mixed models.

CycloWatt: An Affordable, TinyML-enhanced IoT Device Revolutionizing Cycling Power Metrics

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Cycling power measurement is an indispensable metric with profound implications for cyclists' performance and fitness levels. It empowers riders with real-time feedback, supports precise training regimen planning, mitigates injury risks, and enhances muscular development. Despite these advantages, the widespread adoption of cycling power meters has been hampered by their prohibitive cost and deployment complexity. This paper pioneers a groundbreaking approach to power measurement in cycling, prioritizing affordability and user-friendliness. To achieve this goal, we introduce a cutting-edge Internet of Things (IoT) device that seamlessly integrates force signals with inertial sensor data while leveraging the power of edge machine learning techniques. In-field experimental evaluations demonstrate that our prototype can estimate power with remarkable accuracy, boasting a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of only 12.29 Watts (4.1\%). Notably, our design emphasizes energy efficiency, operating in a low-power mode that consumes a mere 50 milliwatts and offers an exceptional battery life of up to 25.8 hours in always-on active mode. With an ultra-low latency of 4.33 milliseconds for data processing and inference, our system ensures real-time power estimation during cycling activities. Incorporating IoT concepts and devices, this paper marks a significant milestone in developing cost-effective and accurate cycling power meters.
Evaluation of Repair Costs for Masonry Infills in RC Buildings from Observed Damage Data: the Case-Study of the 2009 L’Aquila Earthquake

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The estimation of direct and indirect losses due to earthquakes is a key issue in the Performance Based Earthquake Engineering framework. In commonly adopted loss computation tools, no specific data related to masonry infill panels, widespread in moment-resisting-frame residential buildings, are available to perform a probabilistic assessment of losses. To fill this gap, specific fragility and loss functions have been recently proposed in the last years. To assess their validity and estimate the relevance of the repair costs due to infills after earthquakes with respect to the total reconstruction process, the present work analyses the Reinforced Concrete residential buildings with masonry infills struck by the 2009 L’Aquila (Italy) earthquake, focusing on the dataset of “lightly” damaged buildings, where only damage to masonry infills occurred. Based on available data related to these buildings, the observed damage scenario after L’Aquila earthquake is first obtained. The repair costs for infills are estimated given this damage scenario. The resulting estimated repair costs are then compared with the actual repair costs presented in the available literature. The percentage influence of infills on the total repair costs due to earthquakes for residential buildings is lastly computed, resulting on average equal to the fifty percent.
