The biological signals represent patterns of change in the rhythms of biological system that provides a complementary way to study the dynamics of these systems. These signals carry information that is vitally important for understanding of underlying dynamics of living systems. The availability of large and complex data sets and available computational tools allows a complimentary way to develop our understanding about the functioning of the physiological systems, their structures and dynamics. Various innovative approaches such as time-frequency and complexity analysis measures and their computational tools have been developed in recent years to get insight into a wide range of physiological and pathological conditions. These approaches and computation tools are applicable in wide range of disciplines to study the dynamics of biological systems. However, this research work is focused on studying the dynamical fluctuations of EEG signals for detecting epileptic seizure, differentiating alcoholic and non-alcoholic subjects as well as for quantifying the dynamics of healthy subjects with eye open and eye-closed during resting state. The research reported in this dissertation is based on methodological approaches used to quantify the dynamical fluctuations of neurophysiological systems. The first direction of the research was to use time-frequency representation (TFR) techniques such as spatial wavelet phase coherence and coupling to analyze the dynamics of EEG signals in different frequency bands in the form of topographic maps. The distribution of power in different frequency bands was computed. The findings indicated that the power in delta frequency band is mainly distributed in prefrontal and occipital regions, the power in theta band in fronto-occipital regions, power in alpha in posterior and extended to anterior, power in beta in posterior, prefrontal regions and power in gamma was dominant in prefrontal and occipital regions. All the frequency bands were involved in different activities in one way or other, however alpha band power revealed dominant anterior-posterior activity where the eye-closed coherence was higher than eye open coherence. The growing experimental evidences suggest that neural processing relies on the interaction between frequency bands and there is cross frequency coupling (CFC) present in the brain signals. Therefore, understanding of CFC patterns can be valuable tool for diagnosing and treating various neurological disorders. The phase-phase CFC on multichannel electroencephalographic (EEG) signals with EC and EO during resting state was computed to investigate which brain regions are affected by phase modulation of low frequency bands. Coupling in different frequency bands was estimated using dynamic Bayesian inference approach which can effectively detect the phase connectivity subject to the noise within a network of time varying coupled phase oscillators. Coupling was bidirectional in both EC and EO and was relatively higher in EC condition. The self, direct and common coupling scheme showed strong coupling in delta-alpha to alpha (?,?→?) and theta-alpha to alpha (?,?→?) bands. However, moderate couplings were found in theta-gamma to gamma (?,?→?), alpha-gamma to gamma (?,?→?) and delta-gamma to gamma ?,?→?) bands. The second direction was to use scale based complexity analysis technique including Multiscale Sample Entropy (MSE) and Multiscale Permutation Entropy (MPE) to quantify the dynamics of neurophysiological systems using EEG signals. The recent research evidence suggests that complexity of biological system is multiscaled and hierarchical. The findings revealed that Multiscale Permutation Entropy (MPE) gave statistically significant results and separation to distinguish the alcoholic from non-alcoholic subjects, EEG motor movement with baseline EO and EC at all selected electrodes. Moreover, Multiscale Sample Entropy (MSE) was applied to distinguish EEG with epileptic seizures and healthy subjects. MSE gives statistically high significant results to distinguish the epileptic (with and without seizures) subjects with healthy subjects at all temporal scales. The third direction was to quantifying the dynamics of physiological systems using Threshold based Symbolic Time series. The normalized corrected Shannon entropy (NCSE) was computed for EEG signals during EO and EC resting states to quantify the dynamics of these systems at a range of thresholds. The results revealed significant differences between healthy and epileptic seizures subjects and EEG signals with EC and EO during resting states. The symbolic time series provides better separation than MSE between EC and EO during resting states at each electrode. The fourth direction was to quantify the dynamics of physiological systems using Wavelet based entropy at multiple temporal scales. Wavelet entropy included Shannon, threshold, sure and norm using wavelet transform were computed. The results revealed that wavelet norm and sure entropies gave statistically significant results as compared to Shannon and threshold wavelet entropy at multiple temporal scales.

Relationship Between Service Quality and Customer Delight and Customer Loyalty at the Fitness Center Business in East Java

This article aims to analyze the relationship between Service Quality and Customer Delight and Customer Loyalty at the Fitness Center Business in East Java. This research method This research is an explanatory research. The unit of analysis in this study is the individual. The respondents of this research are members of the Fitness Center in East Java. The population in this study were all fitness members in the East Java region who during 2019-2020 years extended their membership at least twice and were in East Java, especially the Kartosusilo Gate area which includes the cities of Gresik, Bangkalan, Mojokerto, Surabaya, Sidoarjo and Lamongan. The number of sufficient samples is 365 respondents. The results show that Service Quality has no significant effect on customer delight. This is because with standard equipment and services, members feel happy. Likewise, the characteristics of the majority of fitness center members are individuals who feel quite happy with the situation and conditions provided by the manager, thereby indicating that the Service Quality at the current Fitness Center business in East Java has not been able to encourage an increase in customer delight. The results of this study also show that Service Quality has a significant effect on Customer Loyality, thus Service Quality at the current Fitness Center business in East Java can encourage the increase in Customer Loyality. Given the large role of service quality on customer loyalty, it is recommended that companies always maintain and improve service quality at the Fitness Center business in East Java.

Clinico-Epidemiology of Staphylococcus Aureus Subclinical Mastitis in Camels from Two Distinct Ecological Zones

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is emerging as multiple drug resistant (MDR) pathogens in milk of camels with characteristically zoonotic potential. Current study was planned to investigate epidemiology of MDR S. aureus in camel milk, and in-vitro therapeutic response to drugs. Two different ecological zones, Cholistan and Suleiman Range of Pakistan having major population of she-camels were screened for subclinical mastitis using California mastitis test using convenient sampling technique. Biochemical examination was performed to isolate S. aureus that further were tested Penicillin, Glycopeptide, and Cephalosporin classes of antibiotics for confirmation of MDR isolates using disk diffusion method. MDR were tested in-vitro for response against various antibiotics. A questionnaire was filled for estimation of association of assumed risk factors with prevalence. Nonparametric tests at 5% probability were applied to check significance of results. The study noted overall 33.98% (123/362) of MDR S. aureus from subclinical mastitis milk samples while 123 of 192 S. aureus isolates (64.06%) were confirmed MDR. Non-significantly higher prevalence of MDR was noted in Cholistan area (38.38%) than to that of Suleiman Range (29.98%) on subclinical mastitis samples basis Similarly 66.36% of S. aureus isolates from Cholistan area and 61.18% from Suleiman Range were presented themselves as MDR. Oxacillin, Cefoxitin and Ampicillin faced 100% resistance while Vancomycin, Cefixime and Cefotaxime had >78 % of resistance from MDR isolates from both study areas. However, Trimethoprim and Ciprofloxacin were > 90%, Chloramphenicol >69%, and Gentamycin 61-67.3%, Streptomicin 61-73.07% and Oxytetracycline 69-71.15%, Enoxacin 45.07 and 53.84% and Amikacin 43.6 and 51.92% effective against MDR. Older age of animals, higher California mastitis score, weak body condition, higher milk yield, early lactation, teat injury, higher parity number, tick infestation, self-treatment and higher use of penicillin in general ailments had positive association with MDR prevalence. The study concluded higher prevalence of MDR S. aureus in camel milk with significant association of assumed risk factors and some of antibiotics presented higher scope of treatment.
