The use of videos in education makes it possible to overcome practical real-world constraints and explore far greater possibilities provided by digital spaces, especially for the video uploaded in online platform such as blog. This study examines whether online video blog as media have a significant effect on students’ achievement of passive voice. It used pre-experimental (one group pre-test and post-test) design. The samples of this study were 10 students at 4J Operation. A pre-test and post-test were conducted by using multiple choice questions as the instruments. Data analysis was through paired-sample t-test. Results showed that there was an increase in mean score of pre-test (49,1) and post-test (63,5). Data from Paired Sample t-test showed that Sig. (2-tailed) was 0.000 which was smaller than .05 which means that there was significance difference in mean score after employing treatment.

This book identifies and names the phenomenon of metagnosis: the experience of newly learning in adulthood of a long-standing condition. It can occur when the condition has remained undetected (e.g., colorblindness) and/or when the diagnostic categories themselves have shifted (e.g., ADHD). More broadly, it can occur with unexpected revelations bearing upon selfhood, such as surprising genetic test results. This phenomenon has received relatively scant attention, yet learning of an unknown condition is frequently a significant and bewildering revelation, subverting narrative expectations and customary categories. In addressing the topic this book deploys an evolution of narrative medicine as a robust research methodology comprising interdisciplinarity, narrative attentiveness, and creating a writerly text. Beginning with the author’s own experience of metagnosis, it explores the issues it raises—from communicability to narrative intelligibility to different ways of seeing. Next, it traces the distinctive metagnostic narrative arc through the stages of recognition, subversion, and renegotiation, discussing this trajectory in light of a range of metagnostic experiences, from Blade Runner to real-world midlife diagnoses. Finally, it situates metagnosis in relation to genetic revelations and the broader discourses concerning identity. Proposing that the figure of blindsight—drawn from the author’s metagnostic experience—offers a productive model for negotiating such revelations, the book suggests that better understanding metagnosis will not simply aid those directly affected but will also serve as a bellwether for how we will all navigate advancing biomedical and genomic knowledge, and how we may fruitfully interrogate the very notion of identity.

Background The reported sensitivity of rapid, antigen-based diagnostics for SARS-CoV-2 infection varies. Few studies have evaluated rapid antigen tests in real-world settings or among large populations. Methods Beginning October 2020, Florida offered individuals presenting for SARS-CoV-2 testing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing if they tested positive by the Abbott BinaxNOW TM COVID-19 Ag Card, were symptomatic, or required or requested PCR testing. We compared test results among individuals who received both types of tests at four publicly-accessible testing sites across Florida. We calculated the positive percent agreement (PPA) between the two test types by symptom status. Subsequently, we evaluated the PPA among individuals regardless of symptoms with lower cycle threshold values (<30). Results Overall, 18,457 individuals were tested via both methods, of which 3,153 (17.1%) were positive by PCR. The PPA for the Abbott BinaxNOW TM COVID-19 Ag Card using the PCR comparator was 49.2% (95% CI 47.4%-50.9%). That performance was moderately improved among symptomatic individuals (51.9%; 95% CI 49.7%-54.0%). When restricted to positive PCR tests with a cycle threshold value <30, regardless of symptom status, the PPA was 75.3% (95% CI 72.8%-77.6%). Conclusion The PPA of the Abbott BinaxNOW TM COVID-19 Ag Card with PCR was lower than among previous reports. Our findings may reflect the performance of the BinaxNOW TM antigen test in real-world settings.

Abstract Background Current HIV diagnostic laboratory testing guidelines from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend a sequence of tests for detection, differentiation, and confirmation of HIV-1 and HIV-2 diagnosis. There is a gap in knowledge about real-world implementation of the testing algorithm. The aim of this study was to characterize the population that underwent HIV antibody differentiation and confirmatory testing and to describe subsequent testing patterns from a large US clinical laboratory database. Methods Patients who received one or more HIV-1/2 antibody differentiation test (BioRad Geenius™ HIV 1/2 Supplemental Assay [Geenius]) in the Quest Diagnostics laboratory database between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017 were selected into the study; earliest test date was index date. Geenius tests, HIV-1 qualitative RNA (Aptima HIV-1 RNA Qualitative Assay [Aptima]), and HIV-2 DNA/RNA confirmatory tests subsequent to index date were captured. Study measures included pt demographic characteristics, testing frequency and sequencing, and test results. For patients with >1 Geenius test in 2017, concordance between index and subsequent test results was assessed. Results There were 26,319 unique patients identified who received ≥1 HIV antibody differentiation result from the Geenius assay. Mean age was 40.7 ± 14.3 years, 66.4% were male, and 42.5% were from southern states. Among the study population, there were 28,954 Geenius, 7,234 Aptima, and 298 HIV-2 DNA/RNA confirmatory tests. 26.4% of Geenius test results were discordant with the initial positive fourth-generation HIV screening results and required subsequent confirmatory testing. In terms of sequencing, the CDC-recommended HIV diagnostic algorithm was followed 74% of the time after screening. 8.5% of patients had >1 Geenius test in 2017; 11.2% of the retests returned different results compared with the first test. Conclusion The CDC recommended algorithm for HIV diagnosis is complex for laboratories to implement and currently available assays do not support testing efficiency. To mitigate observed inefficiencies and reduce the laboratory burden of HIV testing, a more accurate and reliable approach for HIV differentiation and confirmatory testing is needed.

De Algorithm

The population-based efficient iterative evolutionary algorithm (EA) is differential evolution (DE). It has fewer control parameters but is useful when dealing with complex problems of optimization in the real world. A great deal of progress has already been made and implemented in various fields of engineering and science. Nevertheless, DE is prone to the setting of control parameters in its performance evaluation. Therefore, the appropriate adjustment of the time-consuming control parameters is necessary to achieve optimal DE efficiency. This research proposes a new version of the DE algorithm control parameters and mutation operator. For the justifiability of the suggested method, several benchmark functions are taken from the literature. The test results are contrasted with other literary algorithms.

Content Security

The high-profile attacks of malicious HTML and JavaScript code have seen a dramatic increase in both awareness and exploitation in recent years. Unfortunately, exiting security mechanisms provide no enough protection. We propose a new protection mechanism named PMHJ based on the support of both web applications and web browsers against malicious HTML and JavaScript code in vulnerable web applications. PMHJ prevents the injection attack of HTML elements with a random attribute value and the node-split attack by an attribute with the hash value of the HTML element. PMHJ ensures the content security in web pages by verifying HTML elements, confining the insecure HTML usages which can be exploited by attackers, and disabling the JavaScript APIs which may incur injection vulnerabilities. PMHJ provides a flexible way to rein the high-risk JavaScript APIs with powerful ability according to the principle of least authority. The PMHJ policy is easy to be deployed into real-world web applications. The test results show that PMHJ has little influence on the run time and code size of web pages.
