Learning activities are an indicator of the learner's desire to learn during the learning process. The pattern of learner action is related to learning activities. In this case, in extracting the learning process, it is necessary to collect a lot of data through analysis of the learning process. The purpose of this study is to recommend and report the performance of an activity tracking system equipped with visual artifacts as an educational data mining approach to analyze action patterns when learners complete the arrangement of program code lines in each programming problem. In this study, data were taken from activity recordings when learners used interactive learning media for a basic programming subject called TOLSYASUPI-EduMed which had problem-solving learning models embedded in their interactions. Learning Analytics is used as a method of this research and data relationships from learner actions during the learning process using the “if-then” rule. Log data is used for recording and detecting activities carried out by learners. We confirm that the results of the study are based on the findings of the data relationship that if the lines of program code are too long (more than five lines) then almost all learners experience a bottleneck condition. The completion time of each question and the number of iterations in completing the program code lines for each question have also been recorded and have a pattern of connection between the data. The information that has been obtained is then forwarded to teachers or stakeholders as key information to make appropriate feedback to learners based on the results as a means of analyzing and evaluating the programming learning process.

Background:Resistance to standard chemotherapy is a critical problem for breast cancer patients. The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily transporters actively pump out drugs and play an important role in chemoresistance. ABCB1 (ABC subfamily B, member 1, also named as multidrug resistance protein 1, MDR1) and suppressive myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) potentially involve in chemoresistance of breast cancer. The relationship between ABCB1 and immune genes in breast cancer has not been widely studied.
Methods:Microarray and RNA sequencing data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas Breast Invasive Carcinoma in Genomic Data Commons Data Portal and Gene Expression Omnibus database. A patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model of HER2 breast cancer was established to investigate the association between and immune genes in breast cancer.
Results:Expression of increased in doxorubicin-selected MCF-7/ADR cells. High expression of mRNA is correlated with lymph-node metastasis and worse overall survival in patients with breast cancer. is positively correlated with , and . In the HER2 stage IIA breast cancer PDX model, both doxorubicin and paclitaxel suppressed growth of P2 tumors. IL6, CSF1, CSF3, and PTGS2 expression were suppressed by paclitaxel but not doxorubicin. Intrasplenic MDSCs, including CD11bLy6G and CD11bLy6C cells, were more abundant than intratumor MDSCs in PDX-carrying nude mice. Clinically, the patient developed cancer recurrence after adjuvant chemotherapy with doxorubicin-based regimen and was well controlled after paclitaxel-trastuzumab combined therapy.
Conclusion:ABCB1 was a poor predictor of HER2 LN breast cancer. Regulation of immune genes by ABCB1 contributed to cancer recurrence and treatment effect. The PDX model was suitable for investigation the expression of target genes and expansion of immune cells.

A hallmark of near-zero-index materials is the uniform phase profile that the waves experience as they propagate with staticlike properties in these media. This feature is exploited in electromagnetics for several applications, including for the realization of compact highly directive antennas illuminated by a single source. Here, we discuss the promise of near-zero metamaterials for acoustic radiation, based on the cutoff of a higher-order mode in a waveguide with small holes. We show that the near-zero nature of this phenomenon ensures unusual robustness to disorder, which is analyzed using a statistical description of the radiation patterns for randomly generated location of the holes. The radiation pattern can be made more directive by simply increasing the overall radiating aperture, without having to worry about the specific location of individual holes and their relative distance. The proposed zero-compressibility material offers a promising alternative to traditional acoustic directive sources due to its design simplicity, inherent robustness, and compact profile.

Cytometry experiments yield high-dimensional point cloud data that is difficult to interpret manually. Boolean gating techniques coupled with comparisons of relative abundances of cellular subsets is the current standard for cytometry data analysis. However, this approach is unable to capture more subtle topological features hidden in data, especially if those features are further masked by data transforms or significant batch effects or donor-to-donor variations in clinical data. We present that persistent homology, a mathematical structure that summarizes the topological features, can distinguish different sources of data, such as from groups of healthy donors or patients, effectively. Analysis of publicly available cytometry data describing non-naïve CD8+ T cells in COVID-19 patients and healthy controls shows that systematic structural differences exist between single cell protein expressions in COVID-19 patients and healthy controls. We identify proteins of interest by a decision-tree based classifier, sample points randomly and compute persistence diagrams from these sampled points. The resulting persistence diagrams identify regions in cytometry datasets of varying density and identify protruded structures such as ‘elbows’. We compute Wasserstein distances between these persistence diagrams for random pairs of healthy controls and COVID-19 patients and find that systematic structural differences exist between COVID-19 patients and healthy controls in the expression data for T-bet, Eomes, and Ki-67. Further analysis shows that expression of T-bet and Eomes are significantly downregulated in COVID-19 patient non-naïve CD8+ T cells compared to healthy controls. This counter-intuitive finding may indicate that canonical effector CD8+ T cells are less prevalent in COVID-19 patients than healthy controls. This method is applicable to any cytometry dataset for discovering novel insights through topological data analysis which may be difficult to ascertain otherwise

Cervical cancer is Indonesia's second leading cause of death, following only breast cancer. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), non-communicable disorders will be blamed for 70% of all deaths and illnesses in 2020, while other disease types will account for 60%. Cervical cancer can be detected earlier, lowering the chance of death. This study aims to validate and check the pap smear test results obtained from the previously conducted pap smear screening program. The pap smear questionnaire developed would help in the compilation of a patient's habit history that has undergone a pap smear test during his life based on the factors associated with the occurrence of cervical cancer. Specific details, social-demographic features, diet, genital hygiene activities, reproductive background and behaviors, and health care and cancer prevention behavior are also included in the questionnaire template. The consequence of this design is the completeness of evidence on the theory of anomalies dependent on the findings of pap smear sampling.

We study the variability of vertically stacked gate-all-around silicon nanosheet (GAA Si NS) complementary field-effect transistors (CFETs). The process variation effect (PVE), the work function fluctuation (WKF), and the random dopant fluctuation (RDF) of CFETs are statistically estimated using an experimentally validated device simulation technique. Among five factors of PVE, the channel thickness (T Nch /T Pch ), the channel width (W ch ), and the gate length (L G ) are significant. Owing to superior GAA channel control and increased effective gate area, both WKF and RDF are suppressed. Notably, the PVE on both N-/P-FETs of GAA Si CFET induce the largest off-state current fluctuations of 80% and 278%, respectively, because the device characteristic is very sensitive to the layer thickness and width of channel.
