Traffic planning using geo-processing techniques

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Transportation demand modelling is one of the most important area in traffic planning. Hitherto, most transportation models have not found their way into GIS solutions. This slow development is attributed to the generic nature of GIS applications which are not ideally suited for very specific traffic demand modelling. However, more powerful computers and spatial processing methods will definitely lead to more effective use of GIS for transportation needs. Every specific traffic modelling application tends to have it unique needs associated with data and analysis procedures.
A multilingual, collaborative and functional approach to nongovernmental Catalan classes

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter explores the research project among researchers, practitioners and adult migrant learners in a nongovernmental Catalan language education program in the Barcelona area. Its goal is to promote collaborative relations of power by means of interactions between educators and learners where identities are negotiated in ways that recognise diversity for a critical, multilingual and intercultural society. The chapter presents the multilingual approach to teaching Catalan with a focus on translanguaging and intercultural debate. The nongovernmental organisations (NGO) constructs multilingualism as an exceptional concession to newcomers restricted to the two international linguae francae, English and French. It raises volunteer teacher's awareness of interculturality and multilingualism to avoid establishing oppressive relationships in classroom interactions with students. Finally, in the future, volunteer teachers ought to collaborate with students in workshops, session planning and tandem teaching for the action research to have lasting results.
Modeling Community Residents’ Exercise Adherence and Life Satisfaction: An Application of the Influence of the Reference Group

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

To expand the application area of the reference group and enrich exercise theoretical research, based on Stimulus-Organism-Response (S&ndash;O-R) framework, this study examines the factors that motivate for adherence to exercise from the external. Taking reference group and strategy and cultural fit as the main stimulus, and personal investment and life satisfaction as mediating variables, this study try to explore the influence of external stimulus on residents&rsquo; exercise behavior. In order to enrich the sample size, two surveys of 734 Chinese residents in two cities (Xiamen vs. Fuzhou) were conducted using factor analyses, regression analysis, and T-test analysis. The results indicated that the reference group and strategic and cultural fit as external stimulus have impact on residents&rsquo;personal investment, life satisfaction and exercise adherence, personal investment and life satisfaction as the organism has impact on residents&rsquo; exercise adherence. Personal investment and life satisfaction play a chain mediating role between the reference group and exercise adherence, strategy and cultural fit, and exercise adherence. Moreover, the T-test determined the differences between Xiamen and Fuzhou residents&rsquo; exercise adherence and life satisfaction. Residents&rsquo; surroundings affect their exercise behavior and life satisfaction. These findings have implications for policymaking aimed at promoting national exercise, which could gradually improve residents&rsquo; physical fitness, particularly in light of the current coronavirus emergency.
IDeF-X ASIC for Cd(Zn)Te spectro-imaging systems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Joint progresses in Cd(Zn)Te detectors, microelectronics and interconnection technologies open the way for a new generation of instruments for physics and astrophysics applications in the energy range from 1 to 1000 keV. Even working between -20 and 20degC, these instruments will offer high spatial resolution (pixel size ranging from 300 times 300 mum 2 to few mm 2 ), high spectral response and high detection efficiency. To reach these goals, reliable, highly integrated, low noise and low power consumption electronics is mandatory. Our group is currently developing a new ASIC detector front-end named IDeF-X, for modular spectro-imaging system based on the use of Cd(Zn)Te detectors. We present here the first version of IDeF-X which consists in a set of ten low noise charge sensitive preamplifiers (CSA). It has been processed with the standard AMS 0.35 mum CMOS technology. The CSA's are designed to be DC coupled to detectors having a low dark current at room temperature. The various preamps implemented are optimized for detector capacitances ranging from 0.5 up to 30 pF.
Persistent asymptomatic microscopic hematuria in childhood: A single-centered experience

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the demographic, clinical, and laboratory findings and prognoses of patients who were followed in a pediatric nephrology department with persistent asymptomatic microscopic hematuria (PAMH) with or without mild proteinuria.Material and Methods: This retrospective, single-center observational study included 136 patients with PAMH who were referred to our hospital from 2015 to 2020.Results: The study included 136 children (72 male and 64 female) with PAMH and the mean age at diagnosis was 8.13±3.17years.The mean follow-up period of the patients was 4.24±2.16years.The patients were divided into two groups as 107 patients (78.68%) with asymptomatic isolated microscopic hematuria (AIMH) and 29 patients (21.32%) with asymptomatic microscopic hematuria and mild proteinuria (AMHP).No significant difference was determined between the two groups in terms of age, estimated glomerular filtration rate, or family history of renal disease (p>0.05 for each).The male sex ratio was significantly higher among patients in the AMHP group (p=0.005).Glomerular hematuria was detected in 32 patients (23.5%), and 22 of those patients (68.75%) had mild proteinuria accompanying asymptomatic microscopic hematuria at baseline and/or follow-up.The most common histopathological diagnosis was IgA nephropathy.Glomerular pathologies were found to be significantly more common among the AMHP group compared to AIMH (p=0.00).Patients who developed chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension (1.47%) were in the AMHP group.Discussion: Proteinuria accompanying microscopic hematuria might be a risk factor for the development of CKD.Meticulous long-term follow-up must be performed for isolated microscopic hematuria and renal biopsy should be conducted in selected cases.
Basal Cell Carcinoma: Atypical Presentation and Literature Review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common skin cancer, especially in Caucasians. The head is the most common location, however, in exceptional cases it can occur in areas where there is little sun exposure, it is usually aggressive in most cases. Each time there is an increase in the youngest basal cell, it presents different types: Nodular, Superficial, Populations of incidence. Pigmented, Morpheiform or Infiltrating or Sclerosing clinical carcinoma and Fibroepithelioma. It is usually characterized as a locally invasive, aggressive and destructive carcinoma with a high capacity to metastasize. Treatment consists of surgical removal of the lesion, however in advanced cases management will have to be multidisciplinary.

One case (4.9%) has no associated disease. All cases were treated by antibiotic and antifungal therapy and serial debridement. Defects were closed in 14 cases (66.6%) by local flaps and 7 cases (33.4%) by prosthetic obturators Conclusion: COVID-19 is associated with significant incidence of secondary opportunistic infections due to immune dysregulation. The treatment of COVID-19 itself pre-disposes the patients to development of fungal diseases.
Is Pakistan Ready to Embrace Fintech Innovation?

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Pakistan is an emerging market for fintech, with increasing facilitation for digital payments, widespread internet and smartphone penetration, consumer preferences for social media and booming online commerce. Also, the State Bank of Pakistan provides sound regulations, which act as a platform for fintech growth. While regulations are necessary, they might also become a threat for an industry still in its infancy. This paper aims to provide a qualitative assessment of economic, demographic and technological factors that are conducive for the penetration and growth of fintech in Pakistan. A second, but no less important, objective of this paper is to look at the regulatory framework governing fintech and its contribution in making the segment an active or dormant player in the financial services industry.
Effect of Tuck Index on Impulse Produced during a Squat Jump in Swimmers

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Knowing what amount of tuck, as measured by tuck index, produces the highest impulse values during the push-off, along with push off phase duration and distance traveled by the center of mass during the push off phase of a squat jump, will help to optimize flip turn and overall swim performance. The purpose of this study was to determine how to optimize flip turn performance and thus overall swim performance through manipulating the amount of tuck during the push off phase of a squat jump, a task mechanically similar to the push off phase of flip turns. 28 subjects (8 male, 20&lt;/female) volunteered for this study. There were no significant differences in the impulse produced across conditions. Analysis of push off impulse duration revealed that the least tucked position produced the shortest impulse duration, with all other conditions being significantly longer. Center of mass excursion revealed the same trend, with the least tucked position necessitating the least center of mass travel and all other conditions necessitating significantly more.
[Investigation on the use of amikacin in the newborn].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The use of amikacin (AMK) in newborns was investigated and the results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. AMK was administered to 3 rabbits at an intramuscular dose of 6 mg/kg. Mean blood levels determined according to methods of bioassay (BIO) and fluorescent immunoassay (FIA) were 28.6 and 22.2 micrograms/ml, respectively, at 30 minutes after dosing. Then, the blood levels declined rapidly. Mean T 1/2 values obtained with the above 2 assay methods were 0.76 and 0.63 hours, respectively. 2. When AMK was administered at a dose of 5.7 mg/kg to a 64 day-old newborn by drip intravenous infusion for 30 minutes, a peak blood level was attained at the end of drip intravenous infusion, which was 20.0 micrograms/ml according to BIO and was 15.5 micrograms/ml according to FIA. The blood levels declined gradually thereafter with a T 1/2 value of 2.33 hours (BIO) or 2.03 hours (FIA). When the drug was administered at 5.3 mg/kg to a 26 day-old newborn using the same infusion method, the peak blood level obtained at the end of drip intravenous infusion was 18.0 micrograms/ml according to BIO and was 14.8 micrograms/ml according to FIA, and T 1/2 values were 4.76 and 3.68 hours, respectively. 3. As there was a close correlation between the values obtained with BIO and with FIA in both rabbits and clinical cases, with a coefficient of 0.990, and also the BIO values could be estimated using a formula of FIA value X 1.2 + 2.2, it would be possible to monitor AMK levels in the blood of patients at bedside using the FIA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
Regional, sex, and age inequities in asthma hospital admissions in Spain and Portugal

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Asthma presents a significant health challenge, imposing a considerable burden on healthcare services. Discrepancies in asthma‐related hospitalisations may reflect underlying health disparities. We aimed to analyse inequities in asthma hospital admissions in mainland Portugal and Spain, from a regional perspective and considering sex and age. Methods We conducted a retrospective study using data from the Spanish and Portuguese national hospitalisations databases. We calculated crude national and regional yearly hospitalisation rates according per Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics region. Additionally, we calculated hospitalisation rates adjusted for asthma prevalence and the female‐to‐male ratio in asthma hospital admissions per age group, considering the female‐to‐male ratio in the overall population. Results Between 2012 and 2016, there were 92,084 asthma hospital admissions in mainland Spain and 7717 in mainland Portugal. There was a trend for a higher‐than‐average rate of asthma‐related hospitalisations in the Northern regions of both countries. Women had a hospitalisation rate that was 3.2 times higher than men. Age was associated with higher risk for asthma hospitalisation, with individuals aged 65 and older displaying a hospitalisation rate 4.5 times higher than those under 65. Additionally, while hospitalisations in women aged <65 years were 2.3 times more likely than in men of the same age, hospitalisations in women aged ≥65 years were 3.5 times higher than in men aged ≥65 years. Conclusion This study suggests that marked regional inequities in asthma hospital admissions exist in Spain and Portugal. Additionally, women are particularly at risk of hospitalisation due to asthma, and such risk increases with age.
NEW INSIGHTS ON METABOLIC MARKERS LINKEDTO OXIDATIVE STRESS AND THE METABOLIC SYNDROME

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The metabolic syndrome (MS) is a silent growing epidemic linked to life-threatening diseases including heart disease and diabetes. MS is characterized by a cluster of metabolic disorders associated with abdominal obesity. Decreased HDL cholesterol is a major component of the metabolic syndrome in the Gulf region. The role of HDL in reverse cholesterol transport (Good cholesterol) is well established. However, HDL has recently been emphasized as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant factor. My research focuses on the relation between major components of the metabolic syndrome, particularly lowered HDL-C levels, and metabolic factors linked to oxidative stress.
D2.6 First reference implementation of the data repositories features

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This document is the second report from Task 2.2 of the FAIRsFAIR project. It demonstrates how the
features for FAIR enabling repositories (Behnke et al., 2020) are put into practice by building a FAIR
Data Point (FDP) prototype 1 based on the DCAT2 data model, which is an RDF vocabulary designed
to facilitate interoperability between data catalogues published on the Web.
The root of the FAIRsFAIR reference implementation is a FAIR Data Point. In general, it serves three
goals: It allows a repository or any other holder or editor2 of data to expose metadata in a FAIR manner, with a strong focus on the F, A, and R as described in the FAIR Principles (Wilkinson et al., 2016) A consumer or viewer of the data can discover information that is stored in it. It is optimised to interact with humans and machines. The first chapter gives a recap on the motivation and maps requirements from Behnke et al. (2020)
to the prototype. The second chapter explains the reference implementation’s technical details,
while the third describes the DCAT2 data model. In the fourth chapter, the authors analyse the
community uptake, and in the fifth and last chapter, an outlook is presented.
Inhibition of appressorial adhesion of Pyricularia oryzae to barley leaves by fungicides

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract The effects of rice blast fungicides known to inhibit melanisation or penetration on the adhesion of Pyricularia oryzae to the leaf surface of barley were investigated. Adhering appressoria were counted after shaking inoculated leaves vigorously with water. On untreated leaves, appressoria began to adhere at the time when appressorial melanisation was initiated. The number of adhering appressoria then increased gradually, and most were melanised. On chlobenthiazone‐treated leaves, appressoria were not melanised and were easily detached from the surface. Similar results were obtained with tricyclazole. However, after treatment with tetrachlorophthalide or pentachlorobenzyl alcohol, which are also known to prevent penetration of P. oryzae, melanised appressoria still remained after shaking in water. It is suggested that appressorial melanisation in P. oryzae is involved in appressorial adhesion. The antipenetrant action of the melanin biosynthesis inhibitors chlobenthiazone and tricyclazole may be ascribed to the lack of adhesive intensity necessary to support the mechanical shearing of the cuticle of rice plants.
The Medicalization of Criminal behavior among Mental Patients

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The concept of medicalization suggests that a wider range of behaviors is becoming defined as legitimate for medical intervention. Through a comparison of the arrest rates of mental patients released during 1968 and 1975 with the general population rates, the relevance of this process to criminal behavior is examined. In both years the arrest rates for the patient groups exceeded those of the general population, these higher rates being explained by the increasing number of patients with prior police records. Patients without prior arrests had lower arrest rates after release than the general population for all crime categories except property crimes. Comparison of our data with data gathered on patients released in 1946-47 shows that over a 30-year period the proportion of males admitted to psychiatric facilities with police records has steadily and consistently increased. These findings are discussed within the framework of the increasing medicalization of society, with particular concern for adapting this concept to changes resulting from administrative pressures where corresponding changes in ideology are absent.
Real-time demand forecasting in the emergency department.

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

Shifts in the supply of and demand for emergency department (ED) services have led to ED overcrowding and make the efficient allocation of ED resources increasingly important. Reliable means of modeling and forecasting the demand for resources are critical to any ED resource planning strategy. Vector Autoregression (VAR) is a flexible multivariate time-series forecasting methodology that is well suited to modeling demand for resources in the ED.
Understanding the dynamics of friendship formation among high school adolescent: Indigenous psychology approach

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

How friendship between adolescent peers was formed is yet to be understood clearly. Whereas number of studies has clearly linked quality of friendship to various adaptive ability, school performance, and academic achievements. This study attempted to understand the dynamics of friendship formation in sample Javanese adolescents using indigenous psychology as its’ paradigm. Data was obtained from 120 respondents, (82 Girls, and 38 Boys) using open-ended questionnaire, which asks about how friendship between the respondent and their best friend(s) was formed. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis to identify themes and subthemes that indicates how friendship was formed. The result showed that there are two major theme that emerges in the beginning of friendship formation followed by other qualities related to it. This study reveals one more important aspect to be considered in understanding friendship formation between adolescents and their close friends
Paired moving charge model of energy coupling. III. Intrinsic ionophores in energy coupling systems.

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

The experimental basis for the postulated role of intrinsic ionophores in mitochondrial ion transport and energy coupling is summarized. Intrinsic ionophores appear to be linked to, or contained within, specific ionophoroproteins localized in the inner membrane, and the isolation of these ionophores requires their release from the ionophoroproteins. At least ten different species of ionophores have been isolated from the mitochondrion, five of which have been wholly or in part chemically identified. Intrinsic ionophores have been implicated in the activation of inorganic phosphate in ATP synthesis and hydrolysis, and in the contol of the coupling modes. The presence of ionophores in soluble proteins such as troponin and in ATP-energized kinases has been demonstrated.
Rectus abdominis muscle endometriosis after cesarean section--case report.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Endometriosis is defined by the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside the uterus, where it is normally located. Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecologic entities affecting 8%-18% of menstrual women. Endometriosis can occur at intra- and extrapelvic localizations. The most common intrapelvic localizations are those involving the ovaries, Douglas' area, pelvic peritoneum, uterus, bladder and rectum. Abdominal endometriosis is the most common localization of extrapelvic endometriosis and usually develops in connective tissue. Extra-pelvic implantation of endometrial tissue may develop in any organ including the skin, lungs, liver, extremities, brain and stomach. Three years after cesarean section, a 35-year-old female was operated on for suspected anterior abdominal hernia at the site of previous section. An egg-sized tumor was removed from the rectus abdominis muscle and referred for histopathologic and immunohistochemical analyses. The results showed endometriosis of the muscle with positive estrogen and progesterone receptors. A year after the procedure, treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs was continued due to recurrent pain in the scar area, along with ultrasonography and biochemical marker (carbohydrate antigen 125) follow-up. Clinical diagnosis of scar endometriosis can be made by thorough history and physical, ultrasonography and biochemical examinations. Scar endometriosis should always be considered when the symptoms occur in a cyclic and hormone-dependent pattern, mostly after gynecologic operations, and worsening during menstruation. Definitive diagnosis is based on histopathologic analysis.
