Authors: Priskasari Ester , Abdiel Zaim Labib Yuwan , Astuti Siswi
Published: December 2023

Mortar merupakan salah satu bahan bangunan yang digunakan dalam dunia konstruksi. Mortar dapat digunakan untuk komponen struktur maupun komponen nonstruktur dari bangunan. Mortar memiliki sifat mekanis, yakni kuat tekan dan kuat lentur. Kekuatan lentur dari mortar lebih rendah daripada kekuatan tekannya. Angka pori pada mortar juga sangat besar, sehingga rentan mengalami keretakan. Inovasi mortar menggunakan campuran bakteri bacillus subtilis diharapkan akan meningkatkan sifat mekanis mortar tersebut. Bakteri bacillus subtilis merupakan mikroba yang mampu memproduksi kalsium karbonat dan mampu hidup pada suhu 10oC-47oC. Kalsium karbonat tersebut akan mengisi pori dan celah pada mortar, sehingga kekuatannya mengalami peningkatan. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan benda dengan persentase campuran bakteri 0%, 25% dan 40% dari kebutuhan air. Metode curing yang digunakan pada penellitian ini yakni direndam dengan air dan dibiarkan pada suhu ruang dan pengujian dilakukan setelah 28 hari. Hasil dari pengujian mortar kontrol 0% campuran bakteri dengan metode curing direndam dalam air, mendapatkan nilai kuat tekan sebesar 11,33 MPa. Pada pengujian mortar yang diberi campuran bakteri bacillus subtilis dengan metode perawatan dibiarkan pada suhu ruang sebanyak 25%, kuat tekan mortar mengalami penurunan dari kontrol dengan nilai kuat tekan sebesar 7,87 MPa. Untuk campuran bacillus subtilis sebesar 40% mendapat nilai kuat tekan 13,46 MPa atau meningkat 1,13%. Sedangkan perawatan benda uji direndam, mortar mengalami keretakan dan hancur. Hal ini terjadi karena mortar belum mengikat secara sempurna dalam reaksinya. Hasil penelitian ini didapatkan campuran bakteri bacillus subtilis yang terbaik digunakan sebesar 40%.

Institutionen der Weiterbildung
Authors: Kuper Harm , Schemmann Michael
Published: December 2023

Dieses Lehrbuch bietet einen Überblick über den Diskussions- und Forschungsstand zu den Institutionen der Weiterbildung. Weiterbildung ist ein Teil des Bildungswesens. Da sie aber zugleich auf vielfältige Weise mit der Gesellschaft verknüpft ist, lässt sie sich im Vergleich zu den anderen Bereichen des Bildungssystems nur unscharf institutionell abgrenzen. Um diese institutionelle Differenziertheit der Weiterbildung zu erschließen, werden sozialwissenschaftliche Konzepte aufgegriffen.
Auf diese Weise soll ein grundlegendes Verständnis für die institutionellen Strukturen der Weiterbildung ermöglicht werden. Dieses ist Voraussetzung dafür, in der Weiterbildung pädagogisch professionell handeln zu können. Ausgehend von grundlegenden terminologischen, systematischen und historischen Aspekten geben die Autoren einen Überblick über einzelne Typen von Trägern und Einrichtungen in der differenzierten Institutionenstruktur in der Weiterbildung und gehen abschließend auf institutionalisierte Mechanismen der Steuerung von Weiterbildung ein.
Die Autoren befassen sich in zahlreichen Forschungsprojekten sowohl theoretisch als auch empirisch mit institutionellen Strukturen der Weiterbildung.

Authors: Wasaf Atheraa abdulkadhim
Published: December 2023

The increase in the world's population has forced the agricultural sector to increase the production of crops to meet food needs. The spread of nutrient deficiencies in the soil led to economic losses, a reduction in nutritional quality, and total grain quantity for humans and livestock. Coating fertilizers with polymers is one of the most important and effective aspects of slow-release fertilizers in the soil. aim this study, the reaction between chitosan and expired cephalexin as a grafted polymer was done and vulcanized with natural rubber in the presence of tetra methyl thiuram disulfide as catalyst to cover the urea fertilizer. The grafted polymer (chitosan/expired cephalexin compound) was prepared by the Schiff base method. The expired medicinal compound of cephalexin is rich in carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and hydrogen atoms which improved the diffusion of the fertilizer .So the reaction of the validity of the reaction between chitosan and expired Cephalexin was confirmed by infrared (IR) and it was confirmed the presence of new absorption band due to the Azomethine group. The swelling, water retention, slow release of urea, and biodegradation of the NR/chitosan/expired cephalexin compounds were characterized. The rheometer test was carried out under the pressure of 250 bar and temperature of 170°C, The results showed that the Slow release of urea was increased with the increase in the concentration of cephalexin. The highest release percentage in soil media was 2.67 g/l for the C2 blend. The highest swelling ratio was 189.49 % for the C4 blend while the highest water retention was 75.67% for the C2 blend. It was also shown a good biodegradability, where the highest concentration of cephalexin with chitosan gave the highest rate of biodegradation to be 14.61% for C4. The homogeneity of the blends was studied by FE-SEM. It was concluded that the C1-C4 blends were the best for slow-release fertilizer application.

Published: December 2023

Wheat is one of the most important crop. Which is cultivated in whole world. It belongs to Poaceae family. An experiment was performed to check the effect of foliar application of benzoic acid on growth and production of wheat. This experiment was conducted according to complete randomized design. Three treatments of benzoic acid (100 ml/L, 200 ml/L and 400 ml/L) were used. Data was recorded for plant height, number of tillers/m2, flag leaf area, spike length, number of grains/spike and plant dry weight/m2. Then data was analyzed by ANOVA and mean values of each treatment were compared by using Fisher’s LSD. The results showed that foliar use of benzoic acid at 200 ml/L provided the best results for all traits (number of tillers/m2, flag leaf area, spike length, number of grains/spike and plant dry weight/m2) except plant height. Foliar application of benzoic acid at 200 ml/L greatly enhance the growth and yield in wheat. This was because of increase in auxin production or increase in cell division. While height was the only trait which was gradually decreased with the increase of benzoic acid level.

Authors: Salman Ahmed Hussein , Al-Jawher Waleed A, Mahmoud
Published: December 2023

Image document classification is crucial in various domains, including healthcare, finance, and security. Automatically categorizing images into predefined classes can significantly improve data management and decision-making processes. For this research, we investigate the effectiveness of two machine learning algorithms, Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Gradient Boosting, for image document classification. First, we preprocess the image data by extracting relevant features, such as Image Embedding, to create a feature vector for each image. These features are essential for representing the content of the images accurately. Next, we apply SVM, a robust supervised learning algorithm, to train a classification model. SVM aims to Determine the optimal hyperplane for effectively distinguishing the images into different classes while maximizing the margin. Furthermore, we explore the Gradient Boosting algorithm, an ensemble learning method combining multiple weak learners to create a robust classifier. We experimented with different classification results with ten classes. We employ Multiple measures, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC-AUC, are used to assess the performance of the SVM and Gradient Boosting models. The higher result of 0.964 for SVM compared with Adaboost is achieved. 0.853.
Physical activity, body composition and attitudes toward exercise among college students
Authors: Osmani Arben , Perić Dušan B
Published: December 2023

Regular physical activity (PA) is important in maintaining health and quality of life. Persons who do not regularly exercise or who adopt sedentary behaviour are prone to becoming overweight or obese, with significant impact on morbidity, quality of life, and physical and mental health. Positive attitudes towards exercise can facilitate the behaviours and values of a healthy lifestyle. The study aim was to investigate the association of PA level, body composition and attitudes towards exercise in university students. Body dimensions (height, weight, body mass index and fat percentage) of 300 male and 300 female students were measured and PA levels assessed. Attitudes towards exercise were assessed using a questionnaire. Female students were significantly less involved in PA than their male counterparts, with 24% of male and 63% of female students reporting that they (almost) never exercise. Most students (70%) had normal body weight, but about 20% were overweight. Participant groups (athletes, recreational, inactive, male and female students) had similar moderately positive attitudes towards exercising, which was not associated with body composition or PA level. A positive attitude was insufficient for regular participation in PA, but should be supported by education, as well as by diversified sport and recreational offerings and encouragement to engage in these activities.

A Virtue-Based Model of Christian Presence: A Trialogue of the Texts of the Epistle to Diognetus, James Davison Hunter and Eka Darmaputera as a New Imagination of the Three-Duties of the Church
Authors: Junaedi Ujun
Published: December 2023

This article is an intertextual reading of three models of Christian presence from three texts, namely The Epistle to Diognetus, an extra-canonical text of the second century; the text To Change the World by James Davison Hunter, an American sociologist; and the views of Eka Darmaputera, an Indonesian theologian. The findings of the three texts are analyzed using Alasdair MacIntyre’s concept of virtue, which rejuvenates Aristotle’s idea of virtue ethics. Through intertextual analysis of these three texts, the findings related to Christian presence are used to construct a model of virtue-based Christian presence. This virtue-based model of Christian presence is used as the basis for building an image of the three-duties model of the church, namely koinonia, diakonia, and marturia. This effort aims to answer the struggle of balancing the model of church presence between internal and external factors.

The chest CT imaging unexpectedly showed that the heart and the pulmonary artery were obviously enlarged. Subsequently, a secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) with left-to-right shunt measuring 27*23mm was observed on transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). After a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) consisting of departments of urology, cardiac surgery, and anesthesiology was assembled to discuss the surgical procedure, an atrial septal defect closure device was scheduled to be implanted, followed by laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. The patient underwent both surgeries and was successfully discharged from the hospital.
Conclusions: Adequate perioperative assessment and management are crucial for patients. We should pay more attention to patients with cardiac disease undergoing both cardiac and non-cardiac surgery.

A endometriose é uma condição ginecológica crônica caracterizada pela presença de tecido semelhante ao endométrio fora da cavidade uterina. O tratamento da endometriose abrange diversas abordagens, incluindo intervenções medicamentosas, cirúrgicas e multidisciplinares, buscando alívio dos sintomas e melhoria na qualidade de vida das pacientes.

No âmbito medicamentoso, os tratamentos visam controlar a progressão da doença e reduzir a dor associada. Hormônios, como contraceptivos orais, progestágenos e agonistas de GnRH, são frequentemente prescritos para modular os níveis hormonais e inibir o crescimento do tecido endometrial ectópico. Esses medicamentos têm o objetivo de aliviar a dor, regular o ciclo menstrual e, em alguns casos, induzir a remissão temporária da endometriose.

A abordagem cirúrgica torna-se uma opção quando a terapia medicamentosa não é eficaz ou quando há complicações graves. A laparoscopia é frequentemente utilizada para realizar a remoção do tecido endometrial ectópico, cistos ovarianos e aderências. Em casos mais avançados, a histerectomia pode ser considerada, especialmente em mulheres que já completaram sua família e não desejam mais filhos.

A abordagem multidisciplinar é cada vez mais reconhecida como crucial no manejo da endometriose. Envolve a colaboração entre ginecologistas, especialistas em dor, fisioterapeutas, psicólogos e outros profissionais de saúde. Essa abordagem holística visa não apenas tratar os sintomas físicos, mas também abordar aspectos psicossociais, melhorando a qualidade de vida global das pacientes.

Em resumo, o tratamento da endometriose é complexo e muitas vezes envolve uma combinação de abordagens medicamentosas, cirúrgicas e multidisciplinares. A escolha do tratamento depende da gravidade dos sintomas, do desejo reprodutivo da paciente e de outros fatores individuais. O acompanhamento regular com profissionais de saúde especializados é fundamental para uma gestão eficaz e personalizada da endometriose. Esta revisão oferece uma visão abrangente sobre as diversas abordagens no tratamento da endometriose, destacando a importância de considerar não apenas a dimensão física, mas também os aspectos psicossociais para otimizar a qualidade de vida das pacientes.

As metodologias ativas de ensino são dinâmicas propostas com o objetivo de diversificar a experiência de aprendizagem em sala de aula e auxiliar na construção do conhecimento. Essas metodologias ganharam força durante o período da pandemia frente aos desafios que o ensino remoto trouxe, principalmente na área da saúde. O objetivo do presente estudo foi realizar uma revisão narrativa de literatura a respeito das metodologias de ensino em saúde no cenário pós-pandemia no Brasil. Para tal, foram buscados artigos em bases de dados da literatura como Scielo, a Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e o Google Acadêmico publicados entre os anos de 2018 e 2023. Os termos buscados nessas bases foram “aprendizagem”, “ensino superior”, “educação em saúde” e “pós pandemia”, unidos pelo operador boleano “e”. Após a etapa de seleção, foram selecionados 8 artigos em nosso trabalho. Os resultados encontrados demonstraram que a tendência do uso de metodologias ativas tem crescido e contribuido para a formação acadêmica de profissionais da saúde, apesar dos desafios encontrados para seu estabelecimento. Conclui-se, portanto, que a utilização de metodologias ativas é uma estratégia que vem ganhando força nas instituições de ensino. Nos cursos da saúde, essas metodologias contribuem para o aprendizado do futuro profissional, sedimentando o conhecimento e demonstrando situações práticas para a aplicação dele. Outros estudos acerca desse tema se fazem necessários para melhorar a compreensão.

Technical frames used for the online reporting of lesbian killings in South Africa
Authors: Van der Schyff Marchant
Published: December 2023

South Africa remains one of the most dangerous places for women – lesbians in particular – to live freely and safely, where a culture of patriarchy and a lack of socio-economic opportunity are ubiquitous throughout its communities. While the Internet has given journalists a wider platform to provide insights about issues plaguing lesbians, there is very little information regarding the elements used in these online reports. This is not only due to the lack of language required to contextualise lesbian issues, but also persistent institutional and societal homophobia. This article describes the technical frames used in the online news reporting of four case studies of ‘queercide’. Using a thematic coding sheet, data was collected from 70 online articles purposively selected based on a priori population characteristics. The study found technical elements, such as the length of online reports, credible sources used, and ‘code-driven’ and ‘user-driven’ elements identified in the coded online articles. The conclusion uncovers some clear trends enabling the construction of a Venn-type diagram, which presents insights into how the murder of lesbians (referred to as a sub-section of ‘queercide’ in the article) is being reported by online news media compared to contemporary theoretical discussions on how these cases should be reported on. This article situates queercide within a conceptual framework for future studies, while the findings demonstrate how online articles on the killing of lesbians lack self regulatory and sharing features that would improve their legitimacy in the minds of their readers.
A review of internal communication research in South Africa
Authors: Sutton Lucinda Bella-May
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to assess the current state and determine the development of internal communication research in South Africa over the past 21 years (from 2002 to 2022), to provide direction for future research with a view to expanding the body of knowledge in the field from a South African perspective. Research articles on internal communication that were written from a corporate communication and public relations perspective that had been published in three peer-reviewed scholarly communication journals in South Africa were systematically reviewed. Authorship information, research topics, theoretical frameworks, methodologies, and suggestions for future research indicated in 28 articles were analysed. It was found that most scholars focused on the implementation of internal communication management and internal strategies or plans in specific contexts or to attain certain outcomes. The most frequently used theories were relationship management theory and reputation management theories, and a qualitative research approach was the predominant methodical approach used, with non-probability (purposive) sampling, even though questionnaires were the prevalent data collection tools. Although internal communication as a research field has grown globally, research in the South African context is lagging behind. Future research opportunities include: (1) more quantitative studies that employ large probability samples to generalise findings, (2) the digitalisation of communication channels, (3) developing and empiricallytesting local theories, frameworks and models, (4) including marginalised and diverse groups as a starting point for knowledge production, and (5) adapting the findings of research conducted prior to the post-COVID-19 setting.
