One of the efforts in handling slum settlements in Jember City is the existence of a Plan to Prevent and Improve the Quality of Urban Slums or RP2KP KP. There are three development plans implemented in RT 002, RW 003, Baratan Kelurahan, namely improving 1 Info Artikel: Received: 30 Desember 2019,  14 Januari 2020 58 Daur Ulang Limbah Domestik Vol.1, No.1, 2020, p.57 68 housing conditions, building TPS, and building MCK. The MCK construction program that has been carried out in RT 002 RW 003 Baratan Urban Village in its existing condition cannot be used by the community during the dry season due to lack of water supply. The use of aerobic anaerobic biofilter reactors and advanced treatment can meet the water needs in the MCK construction program in Baratan Kelurahan. The method in this planning is carried out quantitatively and qualitatively. The quantitative method is carried out by calculating the need for water and the resulting waste disposal, while the quantitative method is carried out with a literature study related to aerobic anaerobic biofilter reactors and further processing and continued at the design implementation stage and its implementation strategy. Aerobic anaerobic reactors and advanced processing are generally domestic waste recycling techniques to be turned into clean water so they can be reused. The aerobic anaerobic biofilter reactor and the continued processing of water supply for MCK needs will still be fulfilled so that the MCK development program in RT 002 RW 003 can benefit the community so that the handling of slums in Jember City can be of higher quality.

Year: 2020

Due to the increase in microbial resistance worldwide and the adverse effects of chemical drugs, the study of antimicrobial compounds in plant extracts as a new source of medicine can be effective in reducing or solving this problem. The purpose of this study antibacterial and antibiofilm effects extracts from Elaeagnus angustifolia,satureja montana, Quercus brantii,Tragopogon dubius,Sonchus asper, on the P.aeruginosa and S.aureus  In this cross sectional descriptive analytical study, the study population is plants collected in Isfahan and Shahrekord and Pseudomonas and S.aureus bacteria isolated from clinical samples and standard strains. The sampling method was improbably simple and 120g was collected from each of the 9 plants and extracted by massage method. For the qualitative evaluation of antimicrobial properties, you used the agar well diffusion method and for quantitative evaluation of antimicrobial properties, you used the plate microtiter method. To evaluate the anti biofilm properties, plate microtiter method, and staining by violet crystal were used.  Based on the findings of this study and the study of MBC and MIC of the mentioned plant extracts, it can be said that the best antibacterial effect on all studied strains belongs to the plant extracts of Quercus brantii, Elaeagnus angustifolia, satureja montana, Tragopogon dubius, and Sonchus asper, respectively. Among them, Quercus brantii extract has the best effect on all 4 strains. Also, in the study of anti biofilm properties, it was observed that the Quercus brantii, satureja montana, and Elaeagnus angustifolia plant extracts had an anti biofilm effect. Among them, respectively, the most belonging to the Quercus brantii, and the two extracts of Tragopogon dubius, and Sonchus asper do not have good anti biofilm properties. According to the results of this study on the antimicrobial and antifouling properties of these extracts, it is possible to use this plant in the future with more studies and more work on these plants.
Efficient Algorithms for Rotation Averaging Problems
Venue: ArXiv
Year: 2021

The rotation averaging problem is a fundamental task in computer vision applications. It is generally very difficult to solve due to the nonconvex rotation constraints. While a sufficient optimality condition is available in the literature, there is a lack of a fast convergent algorithm to achieve stationary points. In this paper, by exploring the problem structure, we first propose a block coordinate descent (BCD) based rotation averaging algorithm with guaranteed convergence to stationary points. Afterwards, we further propose an alternative rotation averaging algorithm by applying successive upper bound minimization (SUM) method. The SUMbased rotation averaging algorithm can be implemented in parallel and thus is more suitable for addressing large scale rotation averaging problems. Numerical examples verify that the proposed rotation averaging algorithms have superior convergence performance as compared to the state of the art algorithm. Moreover, by checking the sufficient optimality condition, we find from extensive numerical experiments that the proposed two algorithms can achieve globally optimal solutions.

Anti vascular endothelial growth factor for neovascular age related macular degeneration: a meta analysis of randomized controlled trials
Venue: BMC Ophthalmology
Year: 2018

BackgroundTo evaluate the relative efficacy and safety of anti vascular endothelial growth factor (anti VEGF) agents for the treatment of neovascular age related macular degeneration (AMD).MethodsSystematic literature review identifying RCTs comparing anti VEGF agents to another treatment published before June 2016. Efficacy assessed by mean change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and central macular thickness (CMT) from baseline at up to 2 years followup. Safety assessed by proportions of patients with death, arteriothrombotic and venous thrombotic events, and at least one serious systemic adverse event at up to 2 years of followup.ResultsFifteen RCTs selected for meta analysis (8320 patients) Two trials compared pegaptanib, and three trials compared ranibizumab versus control. Eight trials compared bevacizumab with ranibizumab. Two trials compared aflibercept with ranibizumab. There were no significant differences between bevacizumab and ranibizumab for BCVA at 1 or 2 years (weighted mean difference 0.57, 95% CI 1.55 to 0.41, P 0.25 and weighted mean difference 0.76, 95% CI 2.25 to 0.73, P 0.32, respectively) Ranibizumab was more effective in reducing CMT at 1 year (weighted mean difference 4.49, 95% CI 1.13 to 7.84, P 0.009) Risk ratios comparing rates of serious systemic adverse events at 1 and 2 years were slightly out of favour for bevacizumab. Aflibercept compared with ranibizumab demonstrated similar mean change in BCVA, reduction in CMT, and safety at 1 year.ConclusionsBevacizumab and ranibizumab had equivalent efficacy for BCVA, while ranibizumab had greater reduction in CMT and less rate of serious systemic adverse events. Aflibercept and ranibizumab had comparable efficacy for BCVA and CMT. This provides information to balance comparable effects on vision and risk of adverse events between anti VEGF agents.
Frustum ConvNet: Sliding Frustums to Aggregate Local Point Wise Features for Amodal
Venue: 2019 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS)
Year: 2019

In this work, we propose a novel method termed Frustum ConvNet (F ConvNet) for amodal 3D object detection from point clouds. Given 2D region proposals in an RGB image, our method first generates a sequence of frustums for each region proposal, and uses the obtained frustums to group local points. F ConvNet aggregates point wise features as frustum level feature vectors, and arrays these feature vectors as a feature map for use of its subsequent component of fully convolutional network (FCN) which spatially fuses frustum level features and supports an end to end and continuous estimation of oriented boxes in the 3D space. We also propose component variants of F ConvNet, including an FCN variant that extracts multi resolution frustum features, and a refined use of F ConvNet over a reduced 3D space. Careful ablation studies verify the efficacy of these component variants. F ConvNet assumes no prior knowledge of the working 3D environment and is thus dataset agnostic. We present experiments on both the indoor SUN RGBD and outdoor KITTI datasets. F ConvNet outperforms all existing methods on SUN RGBD, and at the time of submission it outperforms all published works on the KITTI benchmark. Code has been made available at: https:/github.com/zhixinwang/frustum convnet.
A Framework for Generating Annotated Social Media Corpora with Demographics, Stance, Civility, and Topicality
Venue: SSRN Electronic Journal
Year: 2020

In this paper we introduce a framework for annotating a social media text corpora for various categories. Since, social media data is generated via individuals, it is important to annotate the text for the individuals demographic attributes to enable a socio technical analysis of the corpora. Furthermore, when analyzing a large data set we can often annotate a small sample of data and then train a prediction model using this sample to annotate the full data for the relevant categories. We use a case study of a Facebook comment corpora on student loan discussion which was annotated for gender, military affiliation, age group, political leaning, race, stance, topicalilty, neoliberlistic views and civility of the comment. We release three datasets of Facebook comments for further research at: https:/github.com/socialmediaie/StudentDebtFbComments
Image Quality Assessment Techniques pn Spatial Domain
Year: 2011

Measurement of image quality is important for many image processing applications. Image quality assessment is closely related to image similarity assessment in which quality is based on the differences (or similarity) between a degraded image and the original, unmodified image. There are two ways to measure image quality by subjective or objective assessment. Subjective evaluations are expensive and time consuming. It is impossible to implement them into automatic real time systems. Objective evaluations are automatic and mathematical defined algorithms. Subjective measurements can be used to validate the usefulness of objective measurements. Therefore objective methods have attracted more attentions in recent years. Well known objective evaluation algorithms for measuring image quality include mean squared error (MSE) peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM) MSE PSNR are very simple and easy to use. Various objective evaluation algorithms for measuring image quality like Mean Squared Error (MSE) Peak Signal ToNoise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity (SSIM) etc. will be studied and their results will be compared
Spatially Controllable Image Synthesis with Internal Representation Collaging
Year: 2018

We present a novel CNN based image editing strategy that allows the user to change the semantic information of an image over an arbitrary region by manipulating the feature space representation of the image in a trained GAN model. We will present two variants of our strategy: (1) spatial conditional batch normalization (sCBN) a type of conditional batch normalization with user specifiable spatial weight maps, and (2) feature blending, a method of directly modifying the intermediate features. Our methods can be used to edit both artificial image and real image, and they both can be used together with any GAN with conditional normalization layers. We will demonstrate the power of our method through experiments on various types of GANs trained on different datasets. Code will be available at this https URL.

Characteristics of a Good Elementary School Teacher Analysis of Teachers' Self Perceptions.
Year: 2014

Views on the desirable characteristics of teachers and their professional development directly affect the organisation of the initial and continuing professional training of teachers, which in turn largely determines the development of teachers' professional identity. In recent literature, professional identity is enmeshed in a broader societal discourse that is underpinned by values, personal qualities, ideology, relationships, status, training and qualifications. Starting from the point of view that the competences acquired are not sufficient for the teachers' professional activities, and also for reflection on their professional mission and identity and self examination of their own experiences, beliefs, values and practices, we were interested in how the most important characteristics of quality teachers are viewed by the teachers themselves in two neighbouring countries Croatia and Slovenia. We expected the results to be very similar due to the similarity of the cultural contexts of both countries. However, as the formation of professional identity depends not only on the broader social context, but also on the specific academic and institutional contexts in which teachers operate and develop, we also expected the answers to differ somewhat, which was confirmed by the results. Croatian teachers identified knowledge, creativity and fairness as the three most important characteristics of a good teacher, while the Slovene teachers identified the teacher's consistency as the most important feature of a good teacher, followed by knowledge and empathy. There was no statistically significant difference in the first three most important characteristics among teachers with regard to the length of their teaching experience and their age.
The contemporary refugee crisis: an overview of mental health challenges
Venue: World psychiatry official journal of the World Psychiatric Association
Year: 2017

There has been an unprecedented upsurge in the number of refugees worldwide, the majority being located in low income countries with limited resources in mental health care. This paper considers contemporary issues in the refugee mental health field, including developments in research, conceptual models, social and psychological interventions, and policy. Prevalence data yielded by cross sectional epidemiological studies do not allow a clear distinction to be made between situational forms of distress and frank mental disorder, a shortcoming that may be addressed by longitudinal studies. An evolving ecological model of research focuses on the dynamic inter relationship of past traumatic experiences, ongoing daily stressors and the background disruptions of core psychosocial systems, the scope extending beyond the individual to the conjugal couple and the family. Although brief, structured psychotherapies administered by lay counsellors have been shown to be effective in the short term for a range of traumatic stress responses, questions remain whether these interventions can be sustained in low resource settings and whether they meet the needs of complex cases. In the ideal circumstance, a comprehensive array of programs should be provided, including social and psychotherapeutic interventions, generic mental health services, rehabilitation, and special programs for vulnerable groups. Sustainability of services, ensuring best practice, evidence based approaches, and promoting equity of access must remain the goals of future developments, a daunting challenge given that most refugees reside in settings where skills and resources in mental health care are in shortest supply.
Analysis of Bio Signals for Drivers' Stress Level Detection
Venue: 2019 Medical Technologies Congress (TIPTEKNO)
Year: 2019

In this study, the individual performances of the selected features, obtained from the ECG, GSR, EMG and RESP measurements by applying Pearson correlation analysis on the features accepted in the literature, were examined for the stress level detection. Accordingly, 2 1 and 3 dimensional feature sets were generated from ECG, Foot GSR and RESP measurements, respectively. These feature sets are classified by LLC, k NN (k 5) RF, DT and SVM algorithms. The feature set generated from the foot GSR measurement shows the best success with an accuracy of 66.67% when the LLC algorithm is used. This result indicates that the selected features are descriptive for stress level when they are used together.
Effects of b blockers and calcium channel blockers on within individual variability in blood pressure and risk of stroke
Venue: The Lancet Neurology
Year: 2010

Analyses of some randomised trials show that calcium channel blockers reduce the risk of stroke more than expected on the basis of mean blood pressure alone and that beta blockers are less effective than expected. We aimed to investigate whether the effects of these drugs on variability in blood pressure might explain these disparities in effect on stroke risk.  The Anglo Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial Blood Pressure Lowering Arm (ASCOT BPLA) compared amlodipine based regimens with atenolol based regimens in 19 257 patients with hypertension and other vascular risk factors and the Medical Research Council (MRC) trial compared atenolol based and diuretic based regimens versus placebo in 4396 hypertensive patients aged 65 74 years. We expressed visit to visit variability of blood pressure during follow up in the two trials as standard deviation (SD) and as transformations uncorrelated with mean blood pressure. For ASCOT BPLA, we also studied within visit variability and variability on 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM)  In ASCOT BPLA, group systolic blood pressure (SBP) SD was lower in the amlodipine group than in the atenolol group at all follow up visits (p<0.0001) mainly because of lower within individual visit to visit variability. Within visit and ABPM variability in SBP were also lower in the amlodipine group than in the atenolol group (all p<0.0001) Analysis of changes from baseline showed that variability decreased over time in the amlodipine group and increased in the atenolol group. The lower risk of stroke in the amlodipine group (hazard ratio 0.78, 95% CI 0.67 0.90) was partly attenuated by adjusting for mean SBP during follow up (0.84, 0.72 0.98) but was abolished by also adjusting for within individual SD of clinic SBP (0.99, 0.85 1.16) Findings were similar for coronary events. In the ABPM substudy, reduced variability in daytime SBP in the amlodipine group (p<0.0001) partly accounted for the reduced risk of vascular events, but reduced visit to visit variability in clinic SBP had a greater effect. In the MRC trial, group SD SBP and all measures of within individual visit to visit variability in SBP were increased in the atenolol group compared with both the placebo group and the diuretic group during initial follow up (all p<0.0001) Subsequent temporal trends in variability in blood pressure during follow up in the atenolol group correlated with trends in stroke risk.  The opposite effects of calcium channel blockers and beta blockers on variability of blood pressure account for the disparity in observed effects on risk of stroke and expected effects based on mean blood pressure. To prevent stroke most effectively, blood pressure lowering drugs should reduce mean blood pressure without increasing variability; ideally they should reduce both.
