Published: January 2023

The sophistication of information and communication technology has penetrated almost all sectors including the education sector. In the past, internet network services could only be accessed by certain groups. However, the current situation is very different. Today, internet services can be accessed by everyone from all social statuses. However, the utilization of the internet network is still far from being optimal. In addition, the use of social media is only for entertainment or a means for playing games. On the other hand, the internet has changed the traditional approach to a modern approach as an example in the realm of pedagogic learning. The implementation of innovative learning media through the use of the internet network makes the learning atmosphere more efficient and interesting. Learning-based websites along with other technology-based tools have shown potential in language teaching. In this case, Teaching English as a Second Language activities are made easier and more interesting through website-based learning. This study aims to utilize the website integrated with social media as an English teaching platform at the Professional English Certificate language institution. With the material in the form of audio-visual, it gives the user unlimited opportunities to repeat the material in parts that have not been mastered well. This naturally corresponds to the learning style of Generation Z; visual, technological, innovation, concrete and critical thinking. According to Technology Pedagogical Content Knowledge, it is necessary to choose the proper use of technology in implementing website-based learning strategies. In practice, the implementation of this community service program is going well. As evidence of the program's success indicators, the community service team distributed questionnaires in assessing the convenience and feasibility of the designed teaching model. The findings demonstrated that 78.5% were in the “Good” category out of 20 samples. The majority of respondents considered that the website integrated with social media with a self-directed learning model was comfortable and feasible to be applied as an English teaching platform.

Published: January 2023

Background and Purpose: Arthrosis of the first MTP joint is a common condition. Among the available arthrodesis methods, plate/screw and screw methods are the current treatment methods of choice. In this study, we investigate whether there is a difference between these two methods.

Methods: Thirty-four toes of 32 patients with advanced arthrosis were included in the study. Eighteen toes were fixed with plates/screws and 16 with cross-screws. In the radiological evaluations, malunion and nonunion were examined. Clinical evaluation was made according to AOFAS-HMI scoring.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 57.74 years and the mean follow-up period was 22.21 months. There was no statistically significant difference in clinical scores or union times between the two groups. As complications, superficial skin problems developed in 2 (5.9%) cases, deep infection in 3 (8.8%) cases, and nonunion in 3 (8.8%) cases. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in this regard.

Conclusion: Plate/screw and cross-screw techniques give similar clinical and radiological results in cases of arthrodesis of the first MTP joint. The cross-screw technique, which can be performed more easily and has lower costs, should be the first choice.

Published: January 2023

Objective: To compare ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) responses obtained with superomedial and oblique gaze positions.

Methods: The oVEMP test was applied in 59 healthy subjects at superomedial, right oblique, and left oblique gaze positions. Stimuli were presented at 110 dB nHL with a frequency of 500 Hz. oVEMP responses were recorded via electrodes placed on the lower eyelids.

Results: Higher N1-P1 amplitudes were obtained in oblique gaze positions in the stimulated ear direction compared to the superomedial position (p<0.05). The asymmetry values obtained in the superomedial gaze position were lower than those obtained in oblique gaze positions (p<0.05). Superomedial and oblique gaze positions had no effect on the N1, P1, and N1-P1 latencies of the waves obtained from the right ear, left ear, and both ears (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Superomedial and oblique gaze positions affect oVEMP waves. In patients in whom vestibular hypofunction is suspected, it is recommended to control oVEMP responses in oblique gaze positions as well as in superomedial gaze positions in the evaluation of the residual vestibular functions.

Published: January 2023

Objective: Commonly used biochemical tests in blood samples may be measured at any time of day. This study investigated the existence and clinical significance of diurnal variations in some of routine parameters to facilitate accurate and reliable decision-making in diagnosis and follow-up.

Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 17 healthy volunteers who were 18-50 years of age (11 men, 6 women) on the same day at 9:00 am, 12:00 am, 3:00 pm, 6:00 pm, and 12:00 pm. Samples collected at 9:00 am were regarded as baseline. The results of 19 biochemical parameters in blood samples obtained at 12.00 am, 3.00 pm, 6.00 pm and 12.00 pm were statistically and clinically compared with the results at 9.00 am baseline sample.

Results: Total protein, creatinine, aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyl transferase showed no clinically significant variation within the day, but clinically significant changes were observed in levels of glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), albumin, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, sodium, potassium, chloride and amylase. Especially, BUN changed by maximum 20-30%, TBIL, DBIL and triglyceride maximum 40-50% within the day.

Conclusion: The results of our study suggest that clinicians should consider the timing of blood sampling and the diurnal variations in BUN, TBIL, DBIL and triglyceride parameters during diagnosis and treatment follow-up. Sampling throughout the day seems to pose no problem for other tests with limited diurnal variation.

Purpose: To evaluate the care burden of the caregivers of dementia patients and the relationship between anxiety-depression risk and quality of life.

Methods: This study was conducted with 152 primary caregivers of dementia patients by using “Caregiver Burden Inventory”(CBI), “Hospital Anxiety-Depression Scale” (HADS) and “Short Version of the Quality of Life Assessment Instrument From the World Health Organization” (WHOQOL-BREF).

Results: Mean age of the caregivers was 49.4±9.0 years; of them, 79.6% were females, 54.6% were graduates of elementary/secondary school. Mean age of dementia patients was 79.8±8.0 years; of them, 55.2% were females, 46.1% had advanced stage dementia and 30.9% had pressure ulcers. High care burden was detected in 101 (66.4%) caregivers, anxiety in 37 (24.3%) and depression in 109 (71.7%). The scores of HAD-A and HAD-D were significantly high (p=0.007, p=0.002) and WHOQOL-Bref score was significantly lower (p=0.001) in caregivers of the patients with pressure ulcers. Scores of CBI, HAD-A and HAD-D were found to significantly increase (p=0.005, p=0.042 and p=0.030, respectively) and WHOQOL-Bref score was found to significantly decrease (p=0.009) as stage of dementia increased. HAD-A and HAD-D scores were detected to increase (p=0.000, p=0.000) and WHOQOL-Bref score was detected to decrease (p=0.000) as CBI score increased.

Conclusion: Dementia causes a high care burden for the caregivers. It is of vital importance to facilitate reaching professional support services for reducing care burden that increases with increasing stage, and establishing hospice care institutions for reducing the risk of mental disorders and for improving quality of life of the caregivers.

Authors: Ahmad Rifai , Firmansyah  , Adilansyah
Published: January 2023

Administrative services that often occur are considered low quality due to lack of human resources, unclear time certainty and inadequate infrastructure, thus giving a bad assessment from the community. This is the background behind the formation of the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 24 of 2006 regarding PTSP (One Stop Integrated Implementation Guidelines) to improve the quality of public services to the community organized by the government. However, the implementation of PTSP has yet to be implemented in all Indonesian government institutions because several institutions still have difficulties and doubts about its effectiveness. This is the author's background to discuss the Effectiveness of One Stop Administration Services for the Community. This study aims to determine whether there is effectiveness and the level or value of effectiveness provided in providing administrative services for the community through a one-stop line or system in City Y. The method used is descriptive quantitative with data collection techniques, namely observation and interview documentation.

Moreover, the distribution of the questionnaire to 100 respondents who were selected by purposive sampling. The study results show that the one-stop administrative service is quite effective at 30%. However, it is insignificant in its effectiveness because it still requires adaptation to the system and improvements in various ways.

Published: January 2023

The concern for the implementation of national education is the decline in the competitiveness of national education. Although the Human Development Index has increased nationally, when compared to ASEAN countries and globally. According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in 2020, Indonesia is ranked 6th in ASEAN and 111th out of 186 countries (UNDP, 2019). Indonesian education is in a position below Singapore, Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the role of bureaucratic behavior on the effectiveness of policies to expand access to education evenly in the perspective of Robbins' theory development. The research method is a case approach with qualitative analysis using semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions (FGD) and documentary reviews as data collection instruments. Altogether, 45 in-depth interviews.

.The results show that behavioral analysis at the individual, group and organizational levels as stated by Robbins (2010) has implications for increasing effectiveness through increasing employee motivation, job satisfaction, cooperation, public involvement in the education sector. However, it cannot describe how to deal with paternalism, behavioral deviations, bureaucratic swelling and so on, in a concrete way. As the findings of the study, it was determined "Patterns of behavioral relationships" as a novelty of organizational behavior analysis with implications for improving behavioral tendencies as a driving and inhibiting factor for the success of the expansion and equity of education. Behavioral relationship patterns can also moderate behavioral elements in increasing effectiveness.

Published: January 2023

Entre 2010 e 2017, o mercado de IPOs brasileiro registrou 39 ofertas, que movimentaram um total de 26,2 bilhões de reais.  Mesmo com montante expressivo de valores envolvidos, grande parte dos estudos sobre desempenho econômico-financeiro de empresas que realizaram oferta pública inicial de ações apontam para redução nos indicadores de desempenho do período pós-IPO. Por outro lado, a abertura de capital pode levar a melhoras na alavancagem, além de crescimento das receitas líquidas. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar o comportamento dos indicadores de desempenho econômico-financeiro antes e depois da IPO de empresas da B3, no período de 2010 a 2017. A amostra abrange 27 processos, compreendendo dois anos anteriores e dois anos posteriores à IPO. A metodologia abrangeu teste de Wilcoxon e dados em painel. Os resultados obtidos no painel apontaram que o aumento no capital social é acompanhado por aumentos na receita líquida e no indicador da margem líquida, além de reduções nos indicadores de giro do ativo e de endividamento de curto prazo. Os resultados obtidos com o teste de Wilcoxon e a comparação entre as medianas demonstraram tendências de desaceleração nos indicadores de margem líquida e ROA, bem como de piora nos indicadores de endividamento de curto e longo prazo.
RESEARCH INTO SPEECH-TO-TEXT TRANFROMATION MODULE IN THE PROPOSED MODEL OF A SPEAKER’S AUTOMATIC SPEECH ANNOTATION
Authors: Barkovska Olesia
Published: January 2023

The subject matter of the article is the module for converting the speaker’s speech into text in the proposed model of automatic annotation of the speaker’s speech, which has become more and more popular in Ukraine in the last two years, due to the active transition to an online form of communication and education as well as conducting workshops, interviews and discussing urgent issues. Furthermore, the users of personal educational platforms are not always able to join online meetings on time due to various reasons (one example can be a blackout), which explains the need to save the speakers’ presentations in the form of audio files. The goal of the work is to elimination of false or corrupt data in the process of converting the audio sequence into the relevant text for further semantic analysis. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were solved: a generalized model of incoming audio data summarization was proposed; the existing STT models (for turning audio data into text) were analyzed; the ability of the STT module to operate in Ukrainian was studied; STT module efficiency and timing for English and Ukrainian-based STT module operation were evaluated. The proposed model of the speaker’s speech automatic annotation has two major functional modules: speech-to-text (STT) і summarization module (SUM). For the STT module, the following models of linguistic text analysis have been researched and improved: for English it is wav2vec2-xls-r-1bz, and for Ukrainian it is Ukrainian STT model (wav2vec2-xls-r-1b-uk-with-lm.Artificial neural networks were used as a mathematical apparatus in the models under consideration. The following results were obtained: demonstrates the reduction of the word error level descriptor by almost 1.5 times, which influences the quality of word recognition from the audio and may potentially lead to obtaining higher-quality output text data. In order to estimate the timing for STT module operation, three English and Ukrainian audio recordings of various length (5s, ~60s and ~240s) were analyzed. The results demonstrated an obvious trend for accelerated obtaining of the output file through the application of the computational power of NVIDIA Tesla T4 graphic accelerator for the longest recording. Conclusions: the use of a deep neural network at the stage of noise reduction in the input file is justified, as it provides an increase in the WER metric by almost 25%, and an increase in the computing power of the graphics processor and the number of stream processors provide acceleration only for large input audio files. The following research of the author is focused on the study of the methods of the obtained text summarization module efficiency.

The subject of research in the article is a stochastic model of quasi-stationary modes of operation of water supply and distribution systems, which adequately describes the actual operating modes of the water supply system for a given time interval and can be used as a basic model for setting and solving problems of optimal stochastic control of the development and operation of supply and distribution systems. water. The goal of the work is to develop a method for calculating estimates of the dispersions of dependent variables depending on the given values of mathematical expectations and dispersions of independent variables for a stochastic model of quasi-stationary modes of operation of the main water conduit as a subsystem of the water supply and distribution system. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to build a deterministic equivalent of a stochastic model of quasi-stationary modes of operation of the main water conduit; calculate estimates of mathematical expectations of dependent variables; calculate estimates of variances of dependent variables. To calculate estimates of the variances of dependent variables depending on the variances of independent variables, we will use the method of statistical linearization. To obtain estimates of mathematical expectations of dependent variables, the deterministic equivalent of the stochastic model of quasi-stationary modes of operation of the main water conduit is solved by the modified Newton method. The following results are obtained: a method for calculating estimates of the dispersions of dependent variables for a stochastic model of quasi-stationary modes of operation of the main water conduit. Conclusions: the paper proposes an approximate method for calculating the statistical properties of dependent variables depending on the statistical properties of the parameters and independent variables of the stochastic model of quasi-stationary modes of operation of the main water conduit. The proposed method is based on the construction of a deterministic equivalent of a stochastic model of quasi-stationary modes of operation of the main water conduit and its use for calculating estimates of variances of dependent variables depending on the given values of mathematical expectations and variances of independent variables. Compared with the simulation method, the proposed approximate method does not require significant time and computational resources. The use of the proposed method was demonstrated by an example.

Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) is an online game that requires a massive number of players that interact to one another in a virtual world. The combination of role-playing video games and massively multiplayer online games that enable youth to interact in virtual world has made this game as one of the most popular online games in this era. This study focused on factors that influence the youth in MMORPGs. The main focus of this quantitative study is the youth at the range of 15 to 30 years old who actively play online games through Facebook by using purposive sampling method. A total of 50 respondents were willingly answered the questionnaire and duration to complete the survey was around one month. From the result, this study shows that there are two factors which are internal and external factors that influence the participation in MMORGPs among youth. Stress reliever, excitement, addiction, source of income and the attempt to escape from reality are some internal factors that influence youth to involve themselves in MMORGPs. As for the external factor, this study found that social influences such as social interaction, social control and mass media had played a huge role. The findings of this study can be used as a future reference for in-depth studies that should focus more on the effects of involvement of youth in MMORGPs.

From a psycho-linguistic and marketing perspective, the research fits into the evaluation of in the context of tourism and, in particular, tourism mobility, targeting one of the leading Italian rail transport companies, namely Trenitalia. This study, conducted on tweets, aims to examine how talks about the transport service offered by Trenitalia. A total of 674 tweets for the tourist season 2019 and 100 tweets for the tourist season 2020 were collected following the pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 period. The methodology is the application of sentiment analysis (SA) that produces quantitative and qualitative results. For the quantitative part, the sentiment was calculated first automatically via the Sentistrength software, then an extraction of the frequencies and calculation of the dependence (Chi-square statistic and t-test) between year and polarity was conducted with R, statistical software. The results show that SA is a good methodology of analysis of the online reputation and customer satisfaction of a company that deals with tourism, also in the difference between pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 period.

Problem. The T-156B hinge frame of the loader, which is an upgraded frame of an agricultural tractor, during work operations creates loads for which it was not designed. Such loads lead to breakdowns and further shorten the life of the entire machine. The frame is the basic element around which the machine is built. The loader that had just been removed from the conveyor did not have built-in durability and reliability. While designing a road construction machine, an account of the features, nature, and conditions of its operation should be taken. Goal. Develop a hinge frame design technique that takes into account the loads experienced by the frame with a virtual simulation of real-world situations during the loader process. Methodology. The adopted approach is based on the use of a computer program Solidworks with three-dimensional modeling and a program Ansys motion for calculating the dynamics of multicomponent bodies taking into account the hinge and contact interaction. Results. In the work were considered three cases of technological operations of the loader. 1. Lifting a full bucket. 2. Collision with an obstacle that is difficult to overcome 3. Movement over an uneven surface with the raised loader arm. The results of the calculations provided forces and torques in the hinge of the half-frames, as well as the effort of the frame. Based on the results obtained, the endurance of the frame in the Ansys motion software package was calculated. Originality. The analysis of load-bearing systems with a virtual simulation of the machine’s actual behavior with the help of Ansys motion software allows to obtain more accurate results, significantly reducing the time for the design and cost of field testing. Practical value. This approach to the analysis of the carrier system behavior can be recommended for designing and determining the technological capabilities of wheeled, tracked, and special machines.

Problem. Currently, the problem of energy independence is one of the most urgent. Consequently, there is a significant need for alternative sources of power. Along with this, throughout the history of human development, the issues of roads and their quality have been very topical and relevant. It is especially true for Ukraine. With the development of science and technology, these issues are expanded by functionality of roads, their safety both for drivers and for other road users and the ability to perform several functions simultaneously, for example, to provide transport traffic and generate electricity. Goal. The goal is development of the method of road marking and automatic control of the road traffic using multifunctional road panels. Methodology. The analytical methods of research on the development and application of methods and devices for transforming the energy of the sun into electricity were used. Methods of mathematical modulation were used when considering the principle of multi-functional road panels, combined in one system. Results. The functional features of multi-functional road panels of pavement are revealed and their scheme on the roadway is presented. The principle of operation of the road as a unified system of multifunctional road surface panels has been researched. The scheme of implementation of road marking and automatic control of road traffic is presented. Originality. It is suggested to use special plates – multifunctional road panels – instead of the top layer of the road cover. Such an upper layer of road clothing will allow the road, as an integral complex system, to perform several functions simultaneously: to be a part of the road for motor transport, to generate electricity and to draw a road marking independently, and if necessary – to change it. Practical value. The use of the proposed method of road markings and automatic control of road traffic will make possible quality performance and rapid change of road markings at any time of the year and day, depending on the current natural and traffic conditions. Also, the proposed road pavement will generate electricity as an alternative renewable source of energy.

Problem. The issue of path planning for a mobile robot is one of the most important ones of mobile robotics. Proper path planning ensures the safety of the robot and its environment, the efficiency of the tasks carried out by a robot, saves time and energy consumption for these tasks, etc. Therefore, research is constantly conducted on the implementation of new and improving existing optimization methods for the path planning for a mobile robot. The utilization of classical optimization methods is limited by their significant drawbacks, such as computational complexity and long time for searching the optimal path. To eliminate these issues, heuristic and then metaheuristic methods have been developed. Among metaheuristic methods, bio-inspired optimization methods, which are based on evolutionary processes in nature, as well as the behaviour of living organisms, are becoming increasingly popular. Goal. This paper aims to analyse the most popular bio-inspired algorithms used for mobile robot path planning. Methodology. The paper briefly reviews the bio-inspired optimization methods that are applicable to the path planning of a mobile robot. Particular emphasis is given to swarm intelligence algorithms, in which the relatively simple behaviour of individual agents interacting with each other and with the environment allows a swarm of these agents to achieve a given goal. Results. A classification of bio-inspired optimization methods used for mobile robot path planning is proposed. Pseudocodes for swarm optimization algorithms that are most frequently applied in mobile robotics are presented. Originality. This paper is one of the first in Ukraine to offer a comprehensive overview of bio-inspired methods of optimization used for mobile robot path planning. Practical value. The implementation of the considered algorithms in mobile robot control systems will improve the efficiency of robots in performing their assigned tasks. The given pseudocodes will simplify the development of software to implement the mentioned algorithms.
