Background/Aims: The Citak Sub Ethnic Asmat ethnic group is one of the ethnic groups who still choose to live semi nomadically. Based on the above notes, this study aims to describe the way food is provided and the nutritional status of Asmat ethnic children in Papua Province. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study, the sample size of 197 people, purposively in 12 Kolofbrasa Papua District villages. Results: The results of the study revealed that the majority of the population of ethnic Citak Asmat sub-ethnic groups were 43.19% and had no permanent employment as much as 35.68%. Farmers in the Kolofbrasa district are farmers moving to move without permanent land. Food supply is daily (sago) for consumption of two to three days. There are no sago trade transactions although these foods are stapled foods, as are other foods. Especially for rice is only obtained through poor rice assistance by the government every three months. The absence of a market as a center for trade in food commodities. Food supply influenced by program social safety net (rice low cost) by government Indonesia. The nutritional status of children were wasting, stunting and underweight respectively 17.3%, 40% and 26.8%. Conclusions: The absence of food trade and market in Kolofbrasa sub district Asmat Papua and also semi nomadic population were at risk of malnutrition for child.

Almost the entire world, not only China, is currently experiencing the outbreak of a novel coronavirus that causes respiratory disease, severe pneumonia, and even death. The outbreak began in Wuhan, China, in December of 2019 and is currently still ongoing. This novel coronavirus is highly contagious and has resulted in a continuously increasing number of infections and deaths that have already surpassed the SARS-CoV outbreak that occurred in China between 2002 and 2003. It is now officially a pandemic, announced by WHO on the 11th of March. Currently, the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) can be identified by virus isolation or viral nucleic acid detection; however, false negatives associated with the nucleic acid detection provide a clinical challenge and thus make the imaging examination crucial. Imaging exams have been a main clinical diagnostic criteria for the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in China. Imaging features of multiple patchy areas of ground glass opacity and consolidation predominately in the periphery of the lungs are characteristic manifestations on chest CT and extremely helpful in the early detection and diagnosis of this disease, which aids prompt diagnosis and the eventual control of this emerging global health emergency. Key Points • In December 2019, China, an outbreak of pneumonia caused by a novel, highly contagious coronavirus raised grave concerns and posed a huge threat to global public health. • Among the infected patients, characteristic findings on CT imaging include multiple, patchy, ground-glass opacity, crazy-paving pattern, and consolidation shadows, mainly distributed in the peripheral and subpleural areas of both lungs, which are very helpful for the frontline clinicians. • Imaging examination has become the indispensable means not only in the early detection and diagnosis but also in monitoring the clinical course, evaluating the disease severity, and may be presented as an important warning signal preceding the negative RT-PCR test results.

This paper discusses the implementation of five key strategies of reducing dwelling time at ports. The five strategies are deregulation of administrative procedures, availability of infrastructure and port facilities, integration of information technology, quality of services, price and incentive strategies. By using partial least squares method and bootstrapping testing, these five variables are a good fit, reliable, and robust as a factor for reducing dwelling time at the port. However, the implementation at Ports in Indonesia still needs to be improved. Four strategies have been running well and they have a significant effect either directly or indirectly on the decrease of dwelling time, namely deregulation of administrative procedures, availability of infrastructure and port facilities, integration of information technology, dan quality of services. While price and incentive have not been maximized to reduce dwelling time at Ports in Indonesia.

Background Stunting is the impaired growth and development of children due to poor nutrition, repeated infection, and inadequate psychological stimulation. This research aims to examine the impact of maternal nutritional literacy (MNL) in increasing the height or score of a stunted child. Design and methods This study is a randomized control trial, which uses a sample size of 85 participants, 43 interventions and 42 controls, an 80% stress test and a 95% confidence level. The intervention group of the MNL consists of families with children under the age of five, focused on the mother's ability to perform breastfeeding, hygiene activities, care, and intervention for 3 months. Result The status of stunting was determined by the different distribution of stunting before and after the intervention in both the intervention and control groups. There was a decrease of about 9.3% of MNL in the intervention group, while in the control group it decreased by just 2.4% (p<0.05). Conclusions It can be concluded that MNL has an effect in preventing stunting, and it is recommended that preventive measures should focus more on normal children, while stunted children should be provided with breastfeeding as the core of MNL.

Piles of steel slag, a solid waste generated from the iron and steel industry, could be seen due to no utility found for the past century. Steel slag has now gained much attention because of its new applications. The properties of slag greatly influence its use and thus had got varied applications. The chemical composition of steel slag varies as the mineral composition of raw material such as iron ore and limestone varies. This paper reviews the characteristics of steel slag and its usage. The paper reviews recent developments in well-known applications to the steel slag such as aggregate in bituminous mixes, cement ingredient, concrete aggregate, antiskid aggregate, and rail road ballast. This paper also reviews novel uses such as mechanomutable asphalt binders, building material, green artificial reefs, thermal insulator, catalyst and ceramic Ingredient. The review is also done on utilization of solid waste for waste management by the novel methods like landfill daily cover material, sand capping, carbon sequestration, water treatment and solid waste management. Review also shows recovery of pure calcium carbonate and heavy metals from slag, providing opportunity for revenue generation. Steel slag once traded as free to use by steel industries is now sold in the market at some price. Its utilization is of great economic significance as it also contributes to the reduction of solid waste.

The 'tubulin-code' hypothesis proposes that different tubulin genes or post-translational modifications (PTMs), which mainly confer variation in the carboxy-terminal tail (CTT), result in unique interactions with microtubule-associated proteins for specific cellular functions. However, the inability to isolate distinct and homogeneous tubulin species has hindered biochemical testing of this hypothesis. Here, we have engineered 25 α/β-tubulin heterodimers with distinct CTTs and PTMs and tested their interactions with four different molecular motors using single-molecule assays. Our results show that tubulin isotypes and PTMs can govern motor velocity, processivity and microtubule depolymerization rates, with substantial changes conferred by even single amino acid variation. Revealing the importance and specificity of PTMs, we show that kinesin-1 motility on neuronal β-tubulin (TUBB3) is increased by polyglutamylation and that robust kinesin-2 motility requires detyrosination of α-tubulin. Our results also show that different molecular motors recognize distinctive tubulin 'signatures', which supports the premise of the tubulin-code hypothesis.

The utilisation of Wireless Sensor Networks is quickly rising due to the fast progress of wireless sensor technologies. Due to limited resources, infrastructureless nature, and other factors, it faces major security difficulties. This study describes a hybrid IDS based on an improved AdaBoost and Enhanced SVM strategy for detecting network intrusions and monitoring node activity while classifying it as normal or abnormal. AdaBoost is used in combination with an SVM classifier to identify and classify intrusions. The suggested IDS considerably enhanced the network performance by recognising and eliminating malicious nodes from the network and avoiding DoS and sinkhole attacks. Results oproved that it performes better than other state of art methods in terms of transmission delay, detection rate, energy consumption, packet delivery rate. It also has the advantages of a simple structure and quick computation times.

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the use of mineral admixtures for high performance and durable concrete. Plastic shrinkage cracking in such concretes is a serious concern in large surface area/volume applications. The present study has two objectives: firstly, to investigate the influence of incorporating fly ash and granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) on the susceptibility to such cracking; and secondly, to assess the techniques, such as fibre and shrinkage reducing admixture (SRA) addition, and spraying of curing compounds, to mitigate the cracking. The results indicate that replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with fly ash and GGBS increases the possibility of plastic shrinkage cracking significantly, with higher severity as the replacement level increases; 30% replacement of OPC with fly ash and GGBS doubled and quadrupled the crack area, respectively, mainly due to higher binder finesses, and the delay of setting and strength gain. Among the fibres tested, polypropylene and polyester fibres, at the recommended dosages of about 0.9 kg/m 3 , completely eliminated cracking in the most affected concrete (i.e., with 30% GGBS) while the dosages of the polyacrylonitrile and glass fibres had to be increased to provide a higher volume fraction. Two glycol-based SRAs, and two curing compounds based on acrylic resin and methacrylate mitigated cracking by significantly reducing evaporation from the surface of concrete.
