Authors: Izzah Muthiah Nurul , Sumawan Herman , Achmad Eppy Darmadi
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Preterm births make up roughly 16–18% of all live births in Indonesia. One of the factors that contribute to preterm birth is inflammation. The study aimed to assess the role of platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as inflammatory markers in preterm birth. Method: This is a cross-sectional retrospective Study. Data were collected from medical records at Margono Soekarjo Hospital, January 2022-February 2023. The cohort comprised 150 participants with singleton pregnancies, ranging from 28 to less than 37 weeks of gestation, divided into three groups: preterm birth without preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), preterm birth with PPROM, and threatened preterm labor (TPL). Multivariate ANOVA tests were employed for data analysis. Result: There was a statistically significant difference NLR values , notably in preterm births without PPROM compared to other groups (p value < 0.005), whereas the only difference noted in PLR values was noted between preterm births with and without PPROM. Our finding differs from that of previous studies, which indicated higher NLR values in preterm births with PPROM.Conclusion: NLR and PLR have the potential to be used as inflammatory markers indicative of heightened risk of preterm birth.Rasio Neutrofil-Limfosit (RNL) dan Rasio Platelet-Limfosit (RPL) sebagai Penanda Inflamasi pada Persalinan PrematurAbstrakPendahuluan: Angka kejadian persalinan prematur di Indonesia mencakup 16-18% dari semua kelahiran hidup.

Management strategies in benign eyelid lesions
Authors: Jagielak-Grab Anna , Białas Dominika , Szabelska Paulina , Różycki Radosław
Published: July 2024

Eyelid tumors are a common discovery during an ophthalmological or dermatological examination. According to available knowledge, they constitute about 5–10% of skin tumors. The majority of them are benign and can be classified as inflammatory, infectious, traumatic or neoplastic lesions. Depending on the lesion type, there are different approaches to management that include: observation, topical application of steroids or antibiotics, injection of steroids, application of warm compresses, biopsy, excision, curettage, various types of laser therapy or plasma-based therapies, cryosurgery and electrocautery. Malignant eyelid tumors are not rare, therefore, an accurate diagnosis is crucial to provide best suited type of treatment. In many cases, an experienced physician is able to distinguish a benign lesion basing on clinical examination, however, it is often difficult to differentiate benign tumors from malignant and premalignant lesions. In case of any uncertainty, a biopsy followed by histopathological examination should always be taken into consideration.

Published: July 2024

Social media interactivity creates consumer’s space of information seeking-sharing where its intensity could produce knowledge, creates new values and changes behavior. The aim of this study is to exploratory investigate the dual role of Generation Z’s information seeking-sharing behavior within green context through the interactive space of social media as a resource for the development of social media marketing strategy. The research employs mixed-method approach of qualitative-explorative data mining, quantitative cross-tabulation Chi-Square test, and integration. Two findings of this research are elaborated. First, consumer’s space of information-seeking leads to the process of green awareness rationalization, i.e., how environment-oriented actions can be rationalized. Second, consumer’s space of information-sharing leads to green social values, i.e., How environment-oriented actions can be socially recognized. The marketing implications of these two findings are business’ efforts to develop green-oriented strategic mindset through space of social media marketing “customer engagement” where the dual role of information seeking-sharing within green context is facilitated.

Authors: Misaki Lenita Takeda , Cruz Caio Gustavo Rodrigues , Silva Rodrigo Rocha
Published: July 2024

Requisitos bem definidos desempenham um papel fundamental para garantia da qualidade de um software. Quando os requisitos são precisos e completos, simplificam todas as fases do desenvolvimento, reduzindo a probabilidade de custos adicionais indesejados. No entanto, se os artefatos iniciais apresentam indicadores de baixa qualidade, esses problemas podem se propagar para as etapas subsequentes, resultando em sistemas deficientes ou que não atendem às expectativas dos stakeholders. Para abordar essa questão, neste trabalho utilizamos inteligência artificial (IA) generativa para investigar se é possível especificar de forma satisfatória os requisitos com indicadores de problemas em especificações, conhecidos como requirements smells. Conduzimos uma análise baseada na literatura e uma pesquisa em dois projetos: um acadêmico e outro em uma empresa de médio porte. Foi avaliado um total de 282 requisitos para identificar quais requirements smells estavam presentes e como impactavam o ciclo de desenvolvimento qualitativamente. Em seguida, geramos transcrições de vídeos sobre os sistemas a serem desenvolvidos utilizando a ferramenta Cockatoo e o Microsoft Teams. Com essas transcrições utilizamos o chatbot online de inteligência artificial: ChatGPT para criarmos requisitos e novamente analisamos seu impacto no ciclo de desenvolvimento. Com base nos artefatos obtidos, fica claro que a presença de requirements smells nos requisitos iniciais trouxe desafios. O uso da IA resultou em requisitos mais coesos e compreensíveis, embora ainda seja necessário esclarecimentos adicionais e a possibilidade de retrabalho. Esses insights ressaltam o potencial da IA como uma aliada valiosa nesta fase, contribuindo para mitigar problemas e garantir o sucesso no desenvolvimento de software.

Authors: Sabry Ibrahim , ELWAKIL Mohamed , HEWIDY A.M.
Published: July 2024

Friction stir welding (FSW) is gaining traction as a preferred technique due to its potential to reduce heat input and enhance the mechanical properties of welded joints. However, the path to commercializing FSW for flange joints is not without challenges. Two primary obstacles are the complexity of the welding path and the intricate design requirements for the fixtures. These factors contribute to the difficulty in determining the ideal weld settings and process parameters, which are critical for achieving optimal results. The current study addresses these challenges by applying FSW to flange joints using custom-engineered fixtures. These fixtures are meticulously designed to hold the pipes and plates securely during the welding process. The focus of the research is on optimizing the multi-performance characteristics of FSW for Al 6063 flange joints through the hybrid Grey-based Taguchi method. The integrity of the weld joint is assessed by examining various mechanical properties within the weld zone, including rotation speed, travel speed, tool profile, and shoulder diameter. The study identifies the optimal parameter settings for the FSW process: a rotation speed of 3000 rpm, a travel speed of 3 mm/min2, a shoulder diameter of 20 mm, and a conical tool profile. Under these ideal conditions, the welded material exhibited a tensile strength of 170.169 MPa, a hardness of 63.7709 HV, and a corrosion rate of 0.022 mm/year. These findings underscore the effectiveness of the optimized FSW process in producing robust and durable flange joints.

Authors: EL-BAHLOUL Sara A.
Published: July 2024

A non-traditional method of thermal machining called wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is utilized for the production of intricate and complex components, particularly those composed of difficult-to-machine materials. Stainless steel has gained widespread usage in various applications in contemporary industry owing to its exceptional properties. In this present investigation, a numerical 3D finite element modeling simulation was conducted using the ABAQUS software to analyze the Material Removal Rates (MRR) for both single and multi-discharge scenarios of AISI 304 stainless steel. The findings indicate a close correspondence between the MRR values predicted by the numerical modeling and those obtained experimentally corresponding to the optimal process parameters: I = 6 A, Ton = 45 s, and Toff = 5 s. Hence, this numerical approach offers the potential to forecast outcomes before actual machining operations.

National Pride or Economic Utility? Attitudes towards Science in the Light of Political Polarisation 1
Authors: Kristóf Luca
Published: July 2024

The paper deals with the political aspects of the perception of science. The relevance of the topic is underpinned, among other things, by the public policy significance of trust in science and the links between national science and national identity. The literature relates the perception of science to ideological positions on the one hand, and to partisan bias on the other. The research underlying the study investigated the relationship between respondents’ attitudes towards science and their political preferences using a representative questionnaire sample of 1000 Hungarian respondents. In Hungary, characterised by a high degree of partisan polarisation, we expected the influence of party preference rather than ideological position on the perception of science. A detailed exploration of attitudes yielded more nuanced results than assumed: those who identified themselves as right-wing were less pro-science in general, but the utilitarian perception of science was influenced by party preference in addition to education, i.e. voters of the current government expected more utility and economic returns from science. The perception of science was also influenced by the level of political information. The study also relates the impact of partisan bias to the reception of science policy measures of the Orbán governments.

Online Support Group For Chronic Disease Patients in The Context of Health Communication on Social Media
Authors: Illahi Azizun Kurnia
Published: July 2024

In the context of health communication, support groups are believed to act as a protective measure against detrimental physical and psychological effects for patients by promoting adaptation both endocrinologically (related to hormones), cognitively, and behaviorally. Such adaptation also brings benefits in enhancing the immune system, adherence to medication consumption, and improving patient health. Support groups are crucial for patients, especially those with similar conditions, as there is a higher level of empathy, mutual information sharing, messages of hope and inspiration, and a platform for expression to enhance the life expectancy of patients with chronic diseases. These support groups emerged since the 1970s, constituting an integral component of healthcare. The existence of support groups is closely linked to helping improve health outcomes and reduce patient mortality rates. The diagnosis given by doctors to individuals can be a traumatic event. In such conditions, effective support systems are needed. These support systems can include friends, family, doctors, or other patients who have experienced similar illnesses. The similarity among members of the support group makes them a "support system" capable of providing both physical and psychological benefits and increasing adherence to the treatment process. The difficulties experienced by patients and their families in managing chronic diseases become highly complex when they do not receive support from their social environment. This motivates the existence of online support groups, which provide them with the flexibility to exchange information and discuss their health problems. To achieve the goals of this research, the researcher used content analysis with the object being the posts of HGM Community  from September to December 2022, while the unit of analysis used was proportional analysis unit. This research found that the most frequently used form of support by group members was instrumental support. The results from 149 posts in HGM Community posts obtained in this study showed that instrumental support with the category of "problem-solving" was the most commonly found.

Seeing such great public attention, the mass media will place the 2024 General Election and Presidential Election as one of the main portions of the news. However, like the 2014 and 2019 Presidential Elections and Elections, it is suspected that it will be difficult for the mass media to stand in a neutral position. Mass media, especially television stations, are owned by entrepreneurs who are affiliated with political parties and support the 2024 presidential and vice presidential candidates.This research aims to explain the meaning of television journalists regarding media independence ahead of the 2024 general election and presidential election. This research uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological research method to understand the construction meaning of journalists. The object of this research is the meaning of television journalists regarding media independence ahead of the 2024 general election and presidential election. The research subjects were television journalists from two media groups, MNC Group and Media Group, who were selected purposively. The research data was analyzed using media political economy theory. Findings from the research show differences in the subjective meaning of media independence among television journalists. Although they agree on the urgency of media independence as a guardian of press freedom, differences of opinion arise especially regarding the role of media owners in editorial policy. Some journalists consider the intervention of media owners to be acceptable, while others consider it a violation of the journalistic code of ethics. Different views are also seen in terms of implementing media independence. Some see media independence as the freedom for the media to support political parties or presidential candidates that are in line with the editorial views. On the other hand, there are journalists who believe that media independence should be realized through a neutral and unbiased attitude

Corruption: Is it a Moral Issue or a Legal Issue?
Authors: Pelengkahu Muhamad
Published: July 2024

The objective of this research is to examine the discourse surrounding corruption, with a particular focus on whether it is perceived as a legal issue or a moral issue. This research was conducted in response to the shortcomings of scholars' analysis in discussing the issue of corruption. Furthermore, in light of the considerable number of corruption cases globally, particularly in Indonesia, it is imperative that the government and relevant stakeholders reframe corruption as a national concern. This research is a descriptive qualitative study, employing data collection techniques through literature studies and analysis using deductive syllogism tools. The research concluded that corruption has become a social disease that continues to spread from upstream to downstream of human life. Currently, corruption is only focused on legal reform, whereas the root or heart of corruption is morality. Corruption is a moral issue, not a legal issue; therefore, it must be addressed through a moral, ethical, and transcendental approach.

Chickpea is one of Ethiopia’s main grain legume crops and it is third most important export legumes after faba bean and haricot bean. The performance information for chickpea cultivars under varying environmental conditions in the Somali region is limited. A field experiment was conducted to test the adaptability of 14 released chickpea varieties (both kabuli and desi types) at Kebribeya and Jigjiga in 2021. The experiment was carried out using a complete randomized block design with three replications for both types separately. The analysis of variance computed for seven traits for each location and over the location revealed the presence of significant variability between varieties. Variety by location interaction was highly significant for most yield and yield related for both types, this indicated that location-specific variety selection is needed. Hence, among the tested kabuli types, Koka and Hora for Kebribeya and Ejera and Koka for Jigjiga were selected based on their grain yield potential and other yield and yield-related traits. Regarding the desi-type Dalota and Dimtu for Kebribeya and Dalota, Natoil and Teketay for the Jigjiga location were the best high-yielder varieties among tested varieties. Additionally, the phenotypic correlation between traits revealed that most traits were associated with grain yield. Specifically, days to maturity and the number of pods per plant were highly correlated with grain yield in both types and were also used as important traits for variety selection. Therefore, the selected varieties from both chickpea types are recommended for popularization in study areas and other similar agroecology.

Satu kajian telah dijalankan di rumah kalis serangga Fakulti Pertanian Lestari di Universiti Malaysia Sabah, kampus Sandakan, untuk mengkaji kesan penggunaan baja NPK biru (12:12:17) disebatikan dengan kadar biochar yang berbeza (0, 1 dan 2 tan ha-1). Objektif kajian ini adalah menentukan kadar optimum baja NPK biru dan/atau biochar terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil pokok bendi yang menggunakan tanah Silabukan dan menentukan kandungan nutrisi yang terdapat di dalam tanah sebelum dan selepas kajian. Terdapat 15 rawatan yang telah digunakan di dalam kajian ini dan mempunyai 3 replikasi bagi setiap rawatan. Reka bentuk kajian yang digunakan ialah reka bentuk rawak lengkap (CRD). Data yang telah diperolehi pula dianalisis menggunakan ANOVA satu hala. Keputusan bagi pertumbuhan vegetatif menunjukkan rawatan N5B3 (400 kg-1 NPK biru & 3 tan ha-1) mempunyai ketinggian pokok tertinggi iaitu 185.7 sm serta jumlah bilangan daun tertinggi iaitu sebanyak 31 helai. Bagi keputusan pengeluaran hasil pula, rawatan N4B3 (300 kg-1 NPK biru dan 3 tan ha-1 biochar) menunjukkan pengeluaran hasil buah bendi tertinggi iaitu 7 biji serta panjang buah bendi yang terpanjang iaitu 22 sm. Bagi keputusan analisis tanah pula, rawatan N1B1 (0 kg-1 NPK biru dan 0 tan ha-1 biochar) menunjukkan bacaan pH tertinggi iaitu 6.3. Rawatan N2B1 (100 kg ha-1 dan 0 tan ha-1) menunjukkan bacaan pertukaran alumunium tertinggi iaitu 1.5 cmolc kg-1. Rawatan N4B1 (300 kg-1 NPK biru dan 0 tan ha-1 biochar) menunjukkan ketersediaan fosforus tertinggi iaitu 0.0592 mg kg-1. Secara kesimpulannya, rawatan N4B3 (300 kg-1 NPK biru dan 3 tan ha-1 biochar) menunjukkan pertumbuhan yang terbaik untuk menghasilkan jumlah buah bendi sebanyak 7 biji per pokok.

This study aimed to determine the habitat approach on potato cultivation to increase diversity of insects.  Habitat improvement design by agricultural system and planting system on different season. This study consisted of two experiments.  The first done at planting season from March to July (dry season) and the second done at  planting season from October to January (rainy season).  Research designed by Split plot design with main plot are farming systems (inorganic farming and organic farming) and the subplot are the design of cropping system (sole potato; potato and cabbage; potato and mustard; potato and onion). The data was analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey test. The result showed that planting season from March  to July (dry season) as well as the planting season from October to January (rainy season) showed that insect diversity index, predator population and parasitoid population were higher in organic farming  compared to inorganic farming systems. The design of cropping system significantly affect insect diversity index,natural enemies population such as predator Coccinelids and parasitoid Braconid wasp and M. persicae population. In organic farming,   intercropping potato with cabbage found the highest insect diversity index and the highest population of parasitoid Braconid wasp and the lowest population of M. persicae. The highest  population of predator Coccinelids found at interropping potato with mustard. Combined analysis of the planting on dry season and rainy season showed that  insect diversity index and population of parasitoid Baraconid wasp  not significantly difference between planting on dry planting and planting on rainy season. On the other hand, population of predator Coccinellids and M. persicae significantly more higher at planting on dry season than planting on rainy season.
