Full textAbstract:
In exploring the management accouting practices of companies in Malaysia, two categories of companies were chosen: Malaysian‐owned and Multinational corporations (MNCs). The majority of the companies selected were either manufacturing‐based or service‐based. To asess the level of management accounting applications in these organizations, Akira’s “Four‐Phase” model was adopted. While a “drifting phase” connotes an extremely low level of application, the “integrated phase” on the other hand deliberately uses the latest management accounting approaches for strategic purposes. Management accounting techniques surveyed include the applications of traditional methods such as Standard Costing, Budgeting and Cost‐Volume‐Profit (CVP) and other integrated approaches such as Just‐in‐Time (JIT), Activity‐Based‐Costing (ABC), Benchmarking and Target Costing.

Abstract. This paper deals with the description and assessment of uncertainties in gridded land use data derived from Remote Sensing observations, in the context of hydrological studies. Land use is a categorical regionalised variable returning the main socio-economic role each location has, where the role is inferred from the pattern of occupation of land. There are two main uncertainties surrounding land use data, positional and categorical. This paper focuses on the second one, as the first one has in general less serious implications and is easier to tackle. The conventional method used to asess categorical uncertainty, the confusion matrix, is criticised in depth, the main critique being its inability to inform on a basic requirement to propagate uncertainty through distributed hydrological models, namely the spatial distribution of errors. Some existing alternative methods are reported, and finally the need for metadata is stressed as a more reliable means to assess the quality, and hence the uncertainty, of these data.

Full textAbstract:
The capability level assesment for governance of the Election Organizer Ethics Court Information System [SIPEPP] is necessary to ensure strategic planning allignment, value delivery, risk management, resources management and performance measurement. SIPEPP implementation has special problems in optimizing human resources and weak supervision management, so it is important to asess capability levels to provide solutions to these problems. The purpose of this paper is to assess the current and expected capability level conditions, gap analysis and recommendations for SIPEPP good governance. This research method uses the Process Assessment Model (PAM) from Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT 5) which consists of stages of initiation, planning the assessment, briefing, data collection, data validation, process attribute level, and result and recommendation. The results of this study indicate the level of optimization of resources and performance monitoring processes are level 2 (Managed Process) which means that the process has been recorded, measured and in accordance with the objectives. The process of managing human resources, assets and operations are at level 1 (Performed Process), meaning that both processes have been applied to SIPEPP governance. Recommendations related human resources are the selection of appropriate human resources by involving management, while related assets require a priority list of implementation systems, and related supervision requires detailed monitoring schedules. This study result can be taken into consideration for improving good governance of SIPEPP implementation.

Introduction and aim. Despite critical role of nurses in managing medication1, public perspectives of the role nurses play in rational drug use is still unclear. The study aimed to asess the impact of the “HEALTHgain” game, an educational tool, on enhancing individual comprehension of proper medication usage and their perceptions of the significance of the contributions of nurses in society. Material and methods. This pretest-post-test, randomized control study took place betweenn May and November 2022 in Turkey. Two-hundred and thirty seven individuals aged 18 years and above were recruited. Results. The “HEALTHgain” game had a noteworthy impact on the knowledge of rational drug usage (F(1)=45.739, p<0.001) and attitudes of society towards a nurse’s role in rational drug use between the baseline and end measurements after 14-day of playing the game (F(1)=283.434, p<0.001). Morover, there were a significant improvement in both intervention and control group knowledge level of rational drug use between the initial and final assessments after a two-week period of game play, though it had not been presented in any table (t=-3.824, p<0.001 for control group; t=-35.492, p<0.001 for intervention group). Conclusion. The study recommends that enhancing the game through contributions from various disciplines could elevate the rational use of medical knowledge and positively influence individual attitudes toward the role of nurses.

Background All studies conducted to compare minimal access oesophagectomy MAO with open oesophagectomy OO till date, have the limitation that they are primarily bas ed on non randomized studies. Only evidence based on randomised controlled trials RC Ts can establish MAO as the preferred surgery for resectable oesophageal cancer OCA and hence the current review. Objectives This review aims to establish a firm body of evidence in support of MAO. The objectives involve using PICO strategy and searching for relevant RCTs, extracting and analyzing data from them in order to derive conclusions that help establish evidence in favour of MAO. Data Sources of the current review are RCTs that asess outcomes of MAO. Review methodology Quantitave study has been designed through a systematic review and meta analyses of RCTs. Results Blood loss during surgery, post operative pulmonary infection and duration of hospital stay favour MAO versus OO for resectable OCA management. Conclusion The ideal MAO strategy may involve thoracoscopic oesophagectomy in prone position with low tidal volume ventilation, perioperative administration of amino acids and neutrophil elastase inhibitor plus immediate postoperative chest physiotherapy and enteral feeding.

A triatomine survey was conducted in three rural settlements of Nicaragua (Santa Rosa, Quebrada Honda and Poneloya) where Chagas' disease is endemic, to determine rates of house infestation, evaluate the housing condition and to asess the performance of the María sensor box in detection of domestic vectors. A total of 184 households were selected and vectors were sought by the methods of timed manual capture and by sensor boxes. The sole vectors species found in this study was Triatoma dimidiata. Of the examined bugs 50, 60 and 33%, in the respective communities, were infected with T. cruzi. The rates of house infestation as determined by manual capture and sensor boxes were respectively, 48.3% and 54.2% in Santa Rosa, 29.8% and 51.2% in Quebrada Honda and in Poneloya 3.8 and 5.9% with significant difference between the methods in Quebrada Honda. When compared with the manual capture, the Maria sensor box detected vectors in 71.4% of positive houses in two of the communities but also was able to detect bugs in 39.3% and 41.1% of houses where manual capture had been negative. Housing condition was evaluated according to three structural parameters, in this way, in the first community 79.2% of houses were classified as bad, 20.8% as regular; in the second one 42.5% were bad and 57.5% regular, whereas in the third 62.5% of the houses were regular. Rates of infestation did not differ greatly between the different housing conditions. Our results show that the sensor box is as efficient as manual capture and could be implemented in our country.

Background: The world health organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, with the addition of complementary feeds at six months with continued breastfeeds until at least the age of two. This study aimed to assess the period and pattern of initiation of complementary feeding and to find out the prevalence of malnutrition among infants (6-12 months).Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken by taking 50 infants with the help of purposive sampling technique at pediatric OPD of Pradyumna Bal Memorial Hospital, KIMS, Bhubaneswar. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the baseline information by face to face interview and Anthropometric examination was conducted to asess the growth pattern. Anthropometric measurements were interpreted by using WHO Anthro Analyzer software and statistical analysis was done by using SPSS 20 Software.Results: The study findings revealed that most of the mother (64%) has initiated the Complementary feeding after 6 months of age, 88% mothers were continuing breastfeeding along with CF. No infants were given cow’s milk. There was significant association of initiation of complementary feeding with maternal education and source of information and age of the infant. Percentage of malnourished infants is 32%. Mothers were preferring to give formula food rather than the home made one.Conclusions: The study concluded that late introduction of complementary feeding are still prevalent in our society. The most precious and vulnerable age group of our society are suffering from malnutrition. Antenatal counselling of mother and appropriate dietary modification should be done after thorough screening during antenatal and postnatal visit.

Full textAbstract:
India offers several courses in the field of health-science. The increasing population of the country demands more trained individuals in this field. These courses include MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BPT, BSc Nursing etc. The current study aims to asess the general health of undergraduate students from various courses, across the state of Andhra Pradesh in South India. The assessment used the Standardized General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), which consists of 12 items with 4 response options each. It measures general well-being and mental health, evaluating factors such as the individual’s ability to concentrate and sleep quality. The questionnaire is designed to assess overall mental health status. The GHQ-12 was used to interview 156 UG Students across the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telengana, 78 of whom were medical students and 78 were nonmedical students. Post-graduate students were excluded for the study. Upon data collection and analysis, it was observed that 71.79% medical students in their UG tend to have poor general health as compared to 70.89% nonmedical students. Thus, higher number of medical students tended to have poorer general health as compared to nonmedical students. This might have been due to their hectic schedule and extensive syllabus, demading both physical and mental hard work and exhaustion. 73.27% males showed scores above 3 in contrast to 67.86% of female subjects, indicating lower general well-being in females. The study was concentrated in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telengana, leaving scope for similar research on a different population and a different sample size.

Improving cocoa quality through encouraging farmers to do fermentation is one of the ways to increase the added value of cocoa. However, majority ofIndonesian farmers are reluctance to do fermentation. This research aimed to study factors causing farmers reluctant to do fermentation, weight differencebetween fermented and unfermented cocoa, cocoa processing time difference between fermented and unfermented cocoa, quality difference between fermentedand unfermented coco refers to cocoa bean standard (SNI): 01-2323-2008/Amd-2010, and feasible added value incentive of fermented cocoa beans. The data collectionwere conducted through household farmers’ survey, focus group discussion and experimental research. The experimental research was conducted to understandthe weight and processing time differences; and to asess the quality, including moisture content, bean count, pH and fermentation index. Analysis of the datawere conducted by methods of Fishbone Ishikawa and logit multiplier linear analysis. The research results showed that the main factors causing farmers reluctant todo fermentation were insuitable of selling price of fermented cocoa, the existence of village collectors in buying unfermented cocoa, the lack of cooperation amongfarmers in farmer group (Subak Abian) and the lack of farmers’ skills on cocoa bean fermentation. This study also found that the weight depreciation differencebetween fermented and unfermented cocoa was 0.5-3.75%, and the processing time difference between fermented and unfermented cocoa was 12-24 hours. Qualityof fermented cocoa beans was higher than that of unfermented cocoa beans and it can fulfill the standard of SNI: 01-2323-2008/Amd-2010. It was found that thefeasible added value incentive of fermented cocoa benas was 2,126-3,426 IDR/kg. Keywords: cocoa, fermentation, unfermented, quality, incentive

Abstract Obesity and thyroid hormone deficiency are global problems. Chile has 31,2% of obesity. Obesity is characterized by adipose tissue, that’s able to influence the immune system. Gestational environment can increase the offspring susceptibility to have obesity. It’s been suggested that maternal hypothyroxinemia (HTX) could be a factor for obesity development in the offspring imprinting the adipose tissue contributing to the altered immune response seen in HTX progeny. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of HTX in adipose tissue in the progeny and its influence on the adipocyte immune function. For this purpose, weight and body fat content of the offspring gestated or not under HTX using In vivo MRI was asess. Area and number of adipocytes from offspring conditions was evaluated using a deep convolutional neural network approach. Cell infiltration was also analyzed. Expression of cytokines as PPARs and leptin were evaluated. Adipose tissue infiltrating cells were analyzed by FACS. In vitro, the differentiation capacity of control and HTX pre-adipocytes using Oil red staining and quantification and measure adipokine an cytokine production by these cells was evaluated. We show that the HTX offspring present an increased body fat content. Image analysis showed an increase in the number and area of the HTX adipocytes. An increased capacity of HTX pre-adipocytes to differentiate to adipocytes was seen. Alteration in the expression of cytokines, PPARs and leptin and an increase in cell infiltration with more predominant activated CD4+ T cells and monocytes was observed. This work proves that maternal HTX induces alterations of the adipose tissue of the progeny that could contribute to the susceptibility of the HTX to autoimmune diseases.

Full textAbstract:
RNA structure can be essential for its cellular function. Therefore, methods to investigate the structure of RNA in vivo are of great importance for understanding the role of cellular RNAs. RNA structure probing is an indirect method to asess the three-dimensional structure of RNA by analyzing the reactivity of different nucleotides to chemical modifications. Dimethyl sulfate (DMS) is a well-established compound that reports on base pairing context of adenine (A) and cytidine (C) in-vitro and in-vivo, but is not reactive to guanine (G) or uracil (U). Recently, new compounds were used to modify Gs and Us in plant, bacteria, and human cells. To complement the scope of RNA structural probing by chemical modifications in the model organism yeast, we analyze the effectiveness of guanine modification by the glyoxal family in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans. We show that within glyoxal family of compounds, phenylglyoxal (PGO) is the best guanine probe for structural probing in S. cerevisiae and C. albicans. Further, we show that PGO treatment does not affect the processing of different RNA species in the cell and is not toxic for the cells under the conditions we have established for RNA structural probing. We also explore the effectiveness of uracil modification by Cyclohexyl-3-(2-Morpholinoethyl) Carbodiimide metho-p-Toluenesulfonate (CMCT) in vivo and demonstrate that uracils can be modified by CMCT in S. cerevisiae in vivo.

Introduction. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the issues of genital prolapse. This is largely due to the increase in women life expectancy and the need to provide them with a decent quality of life, as prolapse is quite often accompanied by dysfunction of the pelvic organs. In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of literature on undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD). However, most of these studies consider therapeutic or vertebro-neurological problems, while the high prevalence rates of this pathology call for additional research on the pathogenetic mechanisms of the effect of UCTD on pelvic organ prolapse, which will allow us to decide on the choice of subsequent treatment.The purpose and objectives. Asess the effect of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD) on the formation of disorders of the somatic, gynecological and reproductive health status in women with genital prolapse.Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, we examined 204 women with genital prolapse in the POP-Q classification of stage 2–3, of which 97 were diagnosed with UCTD (the main group), and the remaining 107 patients made up the comparison group.Results. To evaluate the influence of UCTD on the formation of somatic, gynecological and reproductive health disorders in women with genital prolapse. We analyzed anamnestic indications for somatic, gynecological and reproductive pathology of women, as well as assessed the current state of health of patients with genital prolapse. It was found that it is UCTD that determines the development of a particular form of gynecological pathology and affects the formation of genital prolapse.Conclusion. UCTD manifests as various forms of somatic and gynecological health disorders throughout the life of women with genital prolapse.

Full textAbstract:
Background Proximal humeral fractures (PHFs) account for 4–5% of all fractures in the elderly. There is still a controversy among the treatments in the displaced PHFs. Our aim was to explore the clinical outcome of PHFs with the treatment of MultiLoc nail or Philos plate in the elderly patients. Methods A total of 82 sustained elderly patients with PHFs were finally recruited between Dec 2016 and Dec 2017. 34 patients were treated with MultiLoc nail and 48 patients were treated with Philos plate. The demographics, fracture types, blood loss, operation time, union time, postoperative complications, visual analog scores (VASs), Constant scores, American Shoulder and Elbow Scores (ASESs), and neck-shaft-angle (NSA) between the two groups were compared. Results No differences were observed in the demographics, fracture types, VAS, Constant scores, and ASES scores between the two groups at final follow-up. Compared with the plate group, the blood loss, operation time, and union time were significantly lower in the nail group (all P < .05). The rate of general complications was 54.17% in the plate group, which was higher than that in the nail group (26.47%, P = .01). Three patients experienced reoperation in the plate group (3/48; 6.25%), but none in the nail group. Although there were no significant differences in intraoperative NSA between the two groups, the NSA at final follow-up in the nail group was much higher than the plate group (137.55 ± 5.53°vs 134.47 ± 5.92°, P = .02). Conclusions Multiloc intramedullary nail showed the similar effectiveness of final VAS, final Constant scores, and ASES scores in PHFs treatment with Philos plate. However, MultiLoc nail is superior to Philos plate in blood loss, operation time, complications, reoperation rate, and the change of NSA.

This research aimed to formulate and analyze organoleptic values and chemical parameters (moisture, protein, calcium contents) from cookies substituted with whiteleg shrimp head flour and wheat flour. The research employed the experimental method with two replications and three treatments, namely P1 (5 grams whiteleg shrimp head flour and 95 grams wheat flour), P2 (10 grams whiteleg shrimp head flour and 90 gram wheat flour), and P3 (15 grams whiteleg shrimp head flour and 85 grams wheat flour). Moreover, the parameters tested were organoleptic sharacteristics analyzed using Rasch model. The result analysis of the Rasch model in the treatment of coocies substituted with whiteleg shrimp head dlour and wheat flour produced organoleptic characteristic assessed by the panelists on 5 gr, 10 gr, and 15 gr levels, indicating that is was difficult for the panelists to asess color and aroma, while panelists easly assessed appearance, taste, and texture. The chemical parameters were analyzed using a completely randomized design and ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). The result of the ANOVA test depicted that different cookies treatments had a singnificant effect (P<0,05) on the content of cookies substituted with whiteleg shrimp head flour and wheat flour, so it continued whit Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. The value of Duncan’s multiple range test revealed a significant effect difference among each treatment, namely the water content at the 5 gr, 10 gr, and 15 gr levels signified that all treatments had no significant effect, the protein content indicated that 5 gr level was significantly different from the 10 gr level, and the 10 gr level was significanly different from the 15 gr level at the same time, the calcium content with levels of 5 gr, 10 gr and 15 gr indicated that all treatments were significantly different.

Coral reef fish are play key role in coral reef ecosystem. The presence of reef fish affected by antrophogenic and natural factors, such seasonal changes. This study aimed to asess the temporal variation of coral reef fish group in Tidung Kecil Island using eDNA metabarcoding and Undewater Visual Census. This research was conducted at December 2019 (West season) and August 2020 (East season). Target group are dominated in west season (64.1%) and east season (59.25%) using eDNA metabarcoding. While, major group fish are the highest relative abundance in both season by using Underwater Visual Census. Family Carangidae are the highest species richness (15 species) in wet season and Serranidae (3 species) in east season, respectively. Futhermore, famili Pomacentridae are the most richness species in west and east seasons 10 and 11 species respectively. Thus, it can be concluded these two methods are effective for monitoring structure or abundance of coral reef fish based on seasonal variation. Ikan karang menjadi indikator dalam menilai keanekaragaman hayati di ekosistem tersebut. Keberadaan ikan di ekosistem terumbu karang dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor antropogenik dan faktor alam salah satunya perubahan musim. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kelimpahan kelompok ikan terumbu karang di Pulau Tidung Kecil menggunakan eDNA metabarkoding dan Sensus Visual. Pengambilan data dilakukan pada bulan Desember 2019 (musim barat) dan Agustus 2020 (musim timur). Ikan target mendominasi pada musim barat dan timur dengan persentase sebesar 64.11% dan 59.25%. Sensus visual berhasil mendeteksi ikan mayor dengan persentase tertinggi 62.5% di musim barat dan 82.8% di musim timur. Famili Carangidae merupakan famili dengan jumlah spesies tertinggi di musim barat (15 species) dan Siganidae di musim timur menggunakan eDNA metabarkoding (3 species). Hasil UVC menunjukkan famili Pomcentridae memilki jumlah spesies tertinggi di kedua musim (11 dan 10 spesies) menggundakan sensus visual. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa kedua metode tersebut dapat menjadi pendekatan dalam monitoring struktur atau kelimpahan ikan terumbu karang berdasarkan musim.

Social networking tools have become an integral part of our daily lives. Recently, a new type of Social Networking Sites (SNSs) namely Academic Social Networking sites (ASNSs) has attracted global users. There is perceived usefulness on the impact of ASNSs on patterns of academic research activities. However, it remains unclear why some researchers do not use ASNSs at all. The purpose of this paper is therefore to explore the ASNSs usage among Malaysian academic researchers and to investigate benefits, specific purpose, drivers and barriers of using ASNSs. A total of 210 completed cases were collected through paper-based and online-based questionnaire. In order to show the outcome of the research, descriptive interpretation of data is performed. The overall findings of this research indicate that there is low rate of ASNSs usage among researchers. In addition, the results show that colleagues, attitude toward technology and communication benefits are the drivers to use ASNSs and trust, privacy and security are the common barriers regarding to use ASNSs.

Full textAbstract:
Heterosis or hybrid vigor refers to the superior phenotypic traits of hybrids relative to their parental inbred lines. An imbalance between the expression levels of two parental alleles in the F1 hybrid has been suggested as a mechanism of heterosis. Here, based on genome-wide allele-specific expression analysis using RNA sequencing technology, 1689 genes exhibiting genotype-dependent allele-specific expression (genotype-dependent ASEGs) were identified in the embryos, and 1390 genotype-dependent ASEGs in the endosperm, of three maize F1 hybrids. Of these ASEGs, most were consistent in different tissues from one hybrid cross, but nearly 50% showed allele-specific expression from some genotypes but not others. These genotype-dependent ASEGs were mostly enriched in metabolic pathways of substances and energy, including the tricarboxylic acid cycle, aerobic respiration, and energy derivation by oxidation of organic compounds and ADP binding. Mutation and overexpression of one ASEG affected kernel size, which indicates that these genotype-dependent ASEGs may make important contributions to kernel development. Finally, the allele-specific methylation pattern on genotype-dependent ASEGs indicated that DNA methylation plays a potential role in the regulation of allelic expression for some ASEGs. In this study, a detailed analysis of genotype-dependent ASEGs in the embryo and endosperm of three different maize F1 hybrids will provide an index of genes for future research on the genetic and molecular mechanism of heterosis.

Full textAbstract:
Utilization of heterosis has greatly increased the productivity of many crops worldwide. Although tremendous progress has been made in characterizing the genetic basis of heterosis using genomic technologies, molecular mechanisms underlying the genetic components are much less understood. Allele-specific expression (ASE), or imbalance between the expression levels of two parental alleles in the hybrid, has been suggested as a mechanism of heterosis. Here, we performed a genome-wide analysis of ASE by comparing the read ratios of the parental alleles in RNA-sequencing data of an elite rice hybrid and its parents using three tissues from plants grown under four conditions. The analysis identified a total of 3,270 genes showing ASE (ASEGs) in various ways, which can be classified into two patterns: consistent ASEGs such that the ASE was biased toward one parental allele in all tissues/conditions, and inconsistent ASEGs such that ASE was found in some but not all tissues/conditions, including direction-shifting ASEGs in which the ASE was biased toward one parental allele in some tissues/conditions while toward the other parental allele in other tissues/conditions. The results suggested that these patterns may have distinct implications in the genetic basis of heterosis: The consistent ASEGs may cause partial to full dominance effects on the traits that they regulate, and direction-shifting ASEGs may cause overdominance. We also showed that ASEGs were significantly enriched in genomic regions that were differentially selected during rice breeding. These ASEGs provide an index of the genes for future pursuit of the genetic and molecular mechanism of heterosis.

Purpose. Report a case of limbitis secondary to autologous serum eye drops in a patient with atopic keratoconjunctivitis.Design. Interventional case report.Methods. A 32-year-old African American female with atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) presented with chronic dry eye and diffuse punctate epithelial erosions refractory to conservative treatment. She was initially managed with cyclosporine ophthalmic 0.05% in addition to preservative-free artificial tears and olopatadine hydrochloride 0.2% for 6 months. She was later placed on autologous serum eye drops (ASEDs) and 4 weeks into treatment developed unilateral limbitis. The limbitis resolved shortly after stopping ASEDs in that eye; however, the drops were continued in the contralateral eye, which subsequently developed limbitis within 2 weeks. ASEDs were discontinued in both eyes, and the patient has remained quiet ever since.Results. Patient with a history of AKC and no prior history of limbitis developed limbitis shortly after starting ASEDs, which resolved promptly after discontinuation of therapy with no subsequent recurrence of inflammation.Conclusion. ASEDs are widely used in the treatment of complicated or treatment refractory dry eye. The potential side effects should be kept in mind when prescribing ASEDs for any patient, especially in those with underlying immunological diseases and circulating inflammatory factors.

This study seeks to validate a comprehensive model of academic researchers’ intention in the context of academic social networking sites (ASNSs). It uses the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model with constructs of perceived security, perceived privacy, trust, attitude towards technology, and communication benefits as well as age, gender and experience as moderator variables. The survey results supported the positive relationships between the factors in the model, except effort expectancy, which had no significant effect on behavioural intention. However, the results of three moderator variables demonstrated that they had no significant effect on the adoption of ASNSs. The finding of this research will provide directions for ASNSs providers to support them in developing effective ASNSs for academic researchers.

We offer a new approach to the fabrication of remarkable autostereoscopic double-layer computer generated images or autostereoscopic staircase fractal structures (ASFSs) based on staircase fractals and moiré methods. Besides, we have found that the unwanted moiré fringes or moiré noises in the ASFSs will markedly decrease if high frequency fractal noises are employed. These ASFSs were observed to be similar in some sense to Denishuk or reflection holograms. Analyzing the geometry and parallax of the circle of skew lines (CSL-parallax) at the presentation of stereo depth information in ASFSs, we hope to provide design guidelines for autostereoscopic digital printing and so on and so forth. A far more important example is a computer synthesis of three-dimensional graphic symbols, a standard laser printer and this CSL-parallax being employed.

Full textAbstract:
The present study focuses on analysis of the soil cover structure (SCS, SCSs), which is the most detailed level of soil organization in space. The detail in which complex SCS can be studied is often insufficient, since until now it has not been possible to map it over large areas at scales larger than 1:10,000. To increase the detail in which SCS can be studied, the methods of identifying the bare soil surface (BSS) and averaging its multitemporal spectral characteristics were used, which opens up new possibilities for mapping complex SCS over large areas. New SCSs of leached chernozems (Luvic Chernic Phaeozem) were discovered, which can produce patterns on satellite images similar to sections of Timan agate—agate-like soil cover structures (ASCS, ASCSs). ASCSs are formed on Quaternary sediments of varying thickness from 0.3 to 6 m, underlain by carbonate and red sediments of the Permian period. The ASCS pattern is formed by ring-shaped stripes (rings) of different colors and brightness, which are determined by the carbonate and red-colored inclusions involved in the arable horizon. Eight soil varieties were identified to describe ASCSs during the study. According to the WRB, there are six main soil types, and according to the classification of Russian soils in 1977, there are four types. ASCSs were identified over large areas and soil maps of ASCSs were constructed using multitemporal spectral characteristics of the BSS in the form of multitemporal soil line coefficients. Neural networks were used to identify BSS on big remote sensing data. ASCSs have contrasting soil properties and contrasting fertility (productivity of agricultural crops). ASCS maps can serve as the basis for task maps of precision farming systems. Perhaps ASCSs are unique objects for the area of chernozem distribution, where in one soil profile there are rocks with an age from the first thousand years (Quaternary) to 250 million years (Permian). Chernozems are fertile, studied, mercilessly exploited, but sometimes they are simply beautiful—agate-like.

The low-pressure control methods for an arc-submerged nanoparicle synthesis system (ASNSS) was proposed and developed for brake nanofluids. In the process, a copper bar is melted and vaporized in insulating liquid for core formation with crystallization suppressed to derive nanofluid that contains nanometer copper particles in DOT3 brake fluid. Two technical advances associated with nanoparticle synthesis were achieved. One is the novel pressure control technique developed for nanoparticle fabrication. The other is the verification that the constant low-operating pressure. Pressure operating plays important role in determining the characteristics of the prepared nanoparticles in brake fluids. From the experimental processes, pressure control of the ASNSS was identified as crucial to success of nanoparticles synthesis. To achieve the desired pressure control, a vacuum chamber was developed as a nanoparticle accumulator and low-pressure reservoir. The chamber was controlled by the proposed flow –valve feedback control system and integrated with the ASNSS. The pressure control equipment of the ASNSS was effectively developed to prepare desired copper-oxide brake nanofluids with well-controlled size.

Se plantea el problema de las colas que se presentan habitualmente en los aseos de señoras en contraste con la fluidez con que se accede a los de caballeros, considerando que esta situación tiene solución ya que es sólo debida al mal dimensionado de los aseos. Tras describir y parametrizar los procesos de formación de colas en los aseos de señoras y de caballeros, se utiliza un programa de simulación para analizar en cada caso la influencia del número de puntos de servicio en los tiempos de espera. Finalmente, de acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos, se realizan unas recomendaciones para equilibrar los tiempos de espera, manteniéndolos en ambos casos por debajo de unos valores razonables.

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of cement stabilization on the mechanical stress of compressed stabilized earth blocks (CSEBs) and adobe stabilized earth bricks (ASEBs). Hence, this work is based on an experimental study carried out in order to determine the geotechnical properties of the samples soil, namely, the dry particle size analysis after washing, the particle size distribution by sedimentometry, Atterberg limits, and the preparation of specimens with different levels of cement proportions. Moreover, single compression and three-point bending compression out on specimens measuring 4x4x4cm3 and 4x4x16cm3 respectively. The findings indicate that dosing with 8% cement results in a clear increase in compression stress of approximately 25.55% for CSEBs compared to the reference set at 0% and 22.85% for ASEBs. On the other hand, for a dosage of 4%, we observe a slight increase in stress by simple compression of around 3.26% for CSEBs and 3.14% for ASEBs. For three-point bending compression for a cement dosage of 8%, there is also an increase in stress of about 25% for the CSEBs compared to the reference taken at 0% and 23.02% for the ASEBs.

When two people are on the phone, although they cannot observe the other person's facial expression and physiological state, it is possible to estimate the speaker's emotional state by voice roughly. In medical care, if the emotional state of a patient, especially a patient with an expression disorder, can be known, different care measures can be made according to the patient's mood to increase the amount of care. The system that capable for recognize the emotional states of human being from his speech is known as Speech emotion recognition system (SER). Deep learning is one of most technique that has been widely used in emotion recognition studies, in this paper we implement CNN model for Arabic speech emotion recognition. We propose ASERS-CNN model for Arabic Speech Emotion Recognition based on CNN model. We evaluated our model using Arabic speech dataset named Basic Arabic Expressive Speech corpus (BAES-DB). In addition of that we compare the accuracy between our previous ASERS-LSTM and new ASERS-CNN model proposed in this paper and we comes out that our new proposed mode is outperformed ASERS-LSTM model where it get 98.18% accuracy.

Abstract Purpose To introduce a novel technique of the aseptic manufacture of autologous serum eye drops (ASEDs) with a prefiltered closed system and to analyze the sterility of the produced ophtioles between 2018 and 2022. Methods This is a prospective single-center study conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology at a Swiss University Hospital between 2018 and 2022. For regulatory reasons, closed systems for manufacturing ASEDs are strongly recommended. We attached an upstream sterile filter (Sterivex PES0.22 µm Burlington, USA) to a commercially available closed system (COL System Modena, Italy) for manufacturing ASEDs. The goal of this novel approach was to reduce the microbiological contamination of the donated autologous blood. Using the presented manufacturing method, we are able to produce, on average, 56 ophtioles per batch, containing either 1.45 mL or 2.5 mL of autologous serum per ophtiole. For each batch of ASEDs, we performed a microbiological analysis by automated blood culture testing (BACTEC). This system examines the presence of bacteria and fungi. Results We analyzed all manufactured batches between 2018 and 2022. None of the 2297 batches and the resulting 129 060 ophtioles showed bacterial or mycotic contamination. During the analyzed period, two batches were discarded: one due to fibrin-lipid aggregations, further microbiological and histological work-up excluded any contamination; another due to false-positive HIV in serological testing. Overall, the contamination rate was 0%, and the batch discharge rate was 0.09%. Conclusions The combination of upstream sterile filtration with a commercial closed system for manufacturing ASEDs proved to be effective in ensuring sterility without any contamination over the past 4 years. This is becoming crucial, as the demand for autologous blood products for treating ocular surface disorders, such as refractory dry eyes or nonhealing defects of the corneal epithelium, is on the rise.

Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of marketing mix (product, place, price, and promotion) on customer loyalty in the rendang business. This research was conducted at PT Asal Seiya Sekata (ASESE), in Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia. Respondents used in this study were 99 people. Data were analyzed through inferential statistics using multiple linear regression formulas. The data were processed using SPSS.27. The results showed a significant effect, where the marketing mix of product, price, place, and promotion influenced consumer loyalty by 55.3%, and factors outside the factors studied influenced the other 44.7%. Products significantly affect customer loyalty to ASESE rendang because the taste of rendang has become the main attraction for customers to be loyal to ASESE rendang products. These results will contribute to understanding the factors that affect the purchasing behavior and customer loyalty of rendang products, especially ASESE’s rendang business.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how scholars use academic social networking services (ASNSs). The study was designed in a qualitative research methodology. The data of the study were collected by a questionnaire developed by the researchers and inductive content analysis was applied to the data. The final version of the questionnaire consisted of open-ended questions, multiple response items along with demographics. The participants of the study were 95 scholars from 34 different universities and 29 different departments in Turkey. According to the findings, although ASNSs are widely used, the majority of the participants do not acquire them as a way of collaborative knowledge building with other researchers. The findings of the study were discussed with respect to socio-cultural aspects and scientific convention, as well as how ASNSs might have a role in the process of collaboration and information development with researchers across the globe.
