Selfie addiction, a behaviour involving excessive selfie taking and sharing to obtain validation and acceptance on social media has been understudied. Simple random sampling method was used to recruit 165 students, who were then assessed for selfie addiction behaviour using selfie addiction behaviour scale (SBS) before and after undertaking lecture series about selfie addiction. This study result revealed that there was significant reduction (t=12.119, p=0.0001) in mean SBS scores post-test (38.35±10.69) when compared to pre-test (57.20±18.44). Among demographic variables, female gender was significantly associated with intensity of selfie addiction behaviour pre-test (p=0.0001), number of selfies clicked per day (p=0.0001) and where the selfies are posted (p=0.007). Thus, acute selfie addiction behaviour was manifested by most students which reduced significantly with teaching strategies.

The amount of nickel ions released from orthodontic wires and brackets is of interest to dentists. The amount of nickel ions emitted from a combination of one of the five arch wires (NiTi, SS, Cu NiTi, Co-Cr-Ni alloys, and ion implanted NiTi), five orthodontic brackets, and one band was investigated. The wire was 0.016 inches in length. In our study there was release of Ni ion from assembly of orthodontic archwire, orthodontic brackets and orthodontic band in all categories at all-time checkpoints with maximum increase in release of Ni between baselines to 7th day. Thereafter, release of Ni decreased as the time duration increased in all categories. There is significant release of Ni ion from orthodontic archwire and orthodontic brackets; therefore, orthodontic therapy for patients who are Ni sensitive may be difficult.

The role of residual bone height (RBH) and implant macro-design on implant stability during implant placement in sinus floor evaluation (SFE) is of interest. There were a total 160 fresh bovine rib specimens resembling type-IV density which were divided into 4 categories on the basis of residual bone height prepared i.e. 3mm, 6mm, 9 mm and 15 mm. Implant stability quotient (ISQ) values in each of the four implant macro-design evaluated were found to increase as the height of residual bone increased. It was observed that at residual bone height (6mm, 9mm), ISQ values were maximum for tapered effect design in comparison to other macro-design (p< 0.01). It was concluded that the implant stability is affected by residual bone height and implant macro-design in maxillary sinus floor elevation technique.

An in-depth understanding into recent development and management of chronic hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection (CHE) is of interest as the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unexplored. The novel analysis conducted on the mRNA expression profile revealed a total of 69, 157 and 411 specific DEGs for mild, moderate and severe HEV, respectively. Interestingly, we found upregulated expression levels of 8 genes BATF2, OASL, IFI44L, IFIT3, RSAD2, IFIT1, RASGRP3 and IFI27, which shows their association with persistent HEV infection. Of these genes, 6 (OASL, IFI27, IFIT1, IFIT3, RSAD2 and IFI44L) made into the PPI network and were common at each stage of infection. This provides insights into these identified key genes and pathways which could be targeted to offer better interventions for CHE in future biological research.

Published: February 2025

Cost Recovery is a vital element in production sharing contracts (PSCs) within the oil and gas sector, allowing contractors to recover costs incurred during exploration and production through revenues generated from oil and gas production. This mechanism has a direct impact on the sustainability of operations and the management of natural resources, which in turn plays a critical role in supporting the national economy.This study aims to analyze the role and contribution of the cost recovery scheme in enhancing Indonesia's economic development, focusing on optimizing state revenue, increasing both foreign and domestic investment, and promoting the development of sustainable energy infrastructure. The method used in this study is a literature review, which includes data from journals and published articles.The main findings of the study show that the cost recovery scheme not only functions as an instrument to ensure the sustainability of upstream oil and gas operations but also has a significant impact on other economic aspects. In the context of national economic development, this scheme contributes to increasing state revenue through taxes and royalties, creating jobs, and supporting local economic development in oil and gas-producing regions. Moreover, cost recovery opens up opportunities for technology transfer and enhances human resource capacity in the energy sector.

Indonesia, as an archipelagic country with over 17,000 islands, faces significant challenges in providing electricity access, particularly to small and remote islands. One promising solution is Solar Power Plants (PLTS), both land-based and floating solar plants that utilize water surfaces, suitable for areas with limited land availability. This study evaluates the economic feasibility of floating solar plants and land-based solar plants using the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCoE) approach. LCoE encompasses all costs of construction, operation, maintenance, and energy production over the plant's lifespan, serving as a key benchmark in selecting power generation technologies. The findings show that the LCoE for floating solar plants is Rp11,197.00/kWh, lower than land-based solar plants at Rp11,769.00/kWh, although both exceed the electricity purchase price in Kodingareng, South Sulawesi, at Rp2,460.00/kWh. This difference is influenced by higher construction costs for floating solar plants but offset by greater energy output and lower operation and maintenance costs. This research provides a basis for developing solar power systems in archipelagic regions, emphasizing efficiency and sustainable energy solutions.

Published: February 2025

Concrete is an important aspect of building construction, one of which is road construction. Concrete is used for road construction because it has the advantages of high compressive strength, easy maintenance, ease of formation, and easy to obtain components. Road construction using concrete is applied to the reconstruction of the Kebumen South Ring Road, where the Kebumen South Ring Road is a 9.07 km long national road. National roads are arterial and collector roads in the primary road network system that connect provincial capitals, national strategic roads, and toll roads. Therefore, construction on national roads requires strong and good materials on the Kebumen South Ring Road to optimize road use. In this study, the concrete is composed of Bima cement as Portland cement, coarse aggregate from Kebumen, fine aggregate from the Progo River, and water from drilled wells. The admixture was obtained from a Conmix HK 2. Subsequently, all ingredients were mixed using a mixer truck. The concrete mixture was molded into cylinders and blocks. In this study, the average results of the 5-day concrete compressive strength test were obtainedwhich is 373.42 kg/cm2 and 28-day-old concrete is 442.32 kg/cm2. The average result of the 5-day concrete flexural test is50.65 kg/cm2 and that of 28-day-old concrete was 60.73 kg/cm2. The results are in accordance with the general specifications of the Bina Marga, namely, 45 kg.

Published: February 2025

Congestion in Pontianak City significantly impacts traffic flow, affecting both efficiency and comfort of road transit. The city's unsignalized intersections, crucial for managing vehicle flow from multiple directions, are under scrutiny for their performance. A study using the Indonesian Road Capacity Guidelines (IRCG) has assessed intersections, that the degree of saturation often exceeds acceptable limits, leading to congestion and increased delays. The research highlights that the current capacity of these intersections is insufficient to handle the growing traffic demand. For instance, under maximum traffic flow conditions, one intersection recorded a total traffic flow of 2,978.20 pcu/hour against a capacity of 2,716.40 pcu/hour, resulting in a degree of saturation of 1.096. This indicates a need for interventions like installing traffic signals or modifying road geometry to enhance flow efficiency. Despite these findings, the analysis of existing conditions specific unsignalized intersections showed a level of service value of E and F, suggesting that these intersections currently require immediate improvements. However, to further improve intersection performance, recommendations include reducing side obstacles, enhancing road geometry, and installing two-phase traffic signals, which offer the highest capacity with minimal delay. These measures aim to ensure that Pontianak City's transportation infrastructure can effectively.

Published: February 2025

This study examines the use of APE Numtrack to improve students' numeracy skills, particularly in environments with limited technological access and a shortage of qualified teachers. The study is motivated by the observation that many students struggle with basic numeracy due to inadequate instructional resources and learning tools. Conducted at ICC Al-Anshar, Bahau, Malaysia, this study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. The informants include teachers and students who directly engage with APE Numtrack in their learning process. Data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns and insights. The findings indicate that APE Numtrack significantly enhances students' understanding of basic numeracy by providing interactive and personalized feedback, making learning more engaging. However, some challenges were identified, particularly regarding the durability and functionality of the tool. The study implies that while APE Numtrack is an effective learning aid for foundational numeracy skills, its application remains limited for more complex mathematical concepts. Based on these findings, future research is recommended to explore ways to improve APE Numtrack's durability and expand its functions to accommodate advanced mathematical content, ensuring its broader usability in various educational settings.

Evaluasi kebijakan pada penerimaan negara bukan pajak (PNBP) pasca produksi: studi pembangunan sektor perikanan tangkap berbasis blue economy di Indonesia
Authors: Arkan Muhammad Farrel , Rosdiana Haula
Published: February 2025

Pendahuluan: Sehubungan dengan visi pembangunan sektor perikanan tangkap berbasis blue economy, pemerintah mengatur kebijakan Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak Pungutan Hasil Perikanan (PNBP PHP). Berdasarkan PP 85/2021, titik pungutan PNBP PHP tersebut digeser dari yang sebelumnya berada di saat mengajukan perizinan berlayar (PNBP Pra Produksi), menjadi berada di saat mendaratkan ikan hasil tangkapan (PNBP Pasca Produksi). Kebijakan ini merupakan transformasi substansial dalam lanskap kebijakan fiskal di Indonesia dan memicu perdebatan sejak dilaksanakan 1 Januari 2023. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kebijakan PNBP Pasca Produksi dengan menggunakan tiga kriteria evaluasi kebijakan dari Dunn, yaitu efektivitas, efisiensi, dan keadilan. Metode: Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah post-positivist dengan teknik pengumpulan data secara kualitatif melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi lapangan, dan studi kepustakaan. Temuan: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan PNBP Pasca Produksi memberikan keuntungan bagi wajib bayar dan fiskus karena PNBP dipungut atas berat ikan hasil tangkapan riil, bukan atas perkiraan sebagaimana diatur PNBP Pra Produksi. Namun, secara keseluruhan kebijakan ini belum memenuhi kriteria efektivitas, efisiensi, dan keadilan.  Dari kriteria efektivitas, kebijakan ini belum efektif mencapai tujuan yang ditetapkan. Dari kriteria efisiensi, kebijakan ini memberatkan wajib bayar dan fiskus dari segi direct money costs, time costs, maupun psychological costs. Dari kriteria keadilan, kebijakan ini memenuhi benefit receive principle, tetapi indeks tarif belum memenuhi prinsip nondiskriminasi karena adanya pembedaan tarif antar ukuran kapal yang sudah tidak relevan. Untuk dapat mendukung pembangunan sektor perikanan tangkap berbasis blue economy, kebijakan PNBP Pasca Produksi setidaknya harus memenuhi ketiga kriteria tersebut. Kesimpulam: Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini menyarankan adopsi teknologi di setiap pelabuhan yang dapat memenuhi kriteria efektivitas serta efisiensi kebijakan. Selain itu diperlukan reformulasi indeks tarif agar memenuhi kriteria keadilan.

Published: February 2025

In today’s fast-paced society, time often feels like it’s slipping away more quickly than ever before. The constant stream of information, rapid technological advancements, and visual overload from screens have all contributed to a heightened sense of urgency and acceleration in daily life. This modern experience raises questions about how the pace of society interacts with our subjective perception of time. Visual stimuli, particularly in environments saturated with motion, advertisements, and digital content, play a significant role in shaping how fast or slow we feel time is passing. As our world speeds up visually, our sense of time may follow. Understanding the relationship between visual stimuli and time perception has broad implications for areas like design, virtual reality, and cognitive psychology, revealing how our sensory experiences shape our sense of time.

Published: February 2025

Background: The bypass coronary surgery allows to place a blood vessel graft as a bridge to replace the occluded artery, with this the blood flow distribution will be restored to the cardiac muscle. In Ecuador, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death. Therefore, understanding the quality of life and treatment adherence of these patients is essential for accurate assessment. The Coronary Revascularisation Outcome Questionnaire (CROQ) is a tool created to evaluate the quality of life in these patients. Objective: To evaluate and analyze the quality of life and adherence to treatment in patients undergoing bypass surgery. Methods: In this descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional study, the CROQ was translated into Spanish and used alongside the Simplified Medication Adherence Questionnaire (SMAQ) to assess both quality of life and treatment adherence. A total of 83 patients who underwent coronary bypass surgery were evaluated at hospitals in Guayaquil, Ecuador. In terms of statistical analyses, internal consistency, acceptability, reliability, correlations and descriptive statistics were made. Results: Reliability coefficients greater than 0.70 were obtained, indicating a favorable outcome. Acceptability levels were also satisfactory, being greater than 0.20. Furthermore, with a p-value of <0.05, the results were deemed statistically significant. Conclusions: The Spanish version developed in this study is valid and can be used to assess the quality of life of these patients.

Authors: Chang Moran Carlos Alberto , Banchon Macias Gonzalo Andre , Varas Mera Gustavo Andres , Vásquez Cedeño Diego
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Studies have shown that an elevated neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is associated with cardiovascular events. Given the limited local availability of diagnostic-therapeutic resources to offer immediate adequate management of patients with coronary syndrome, NLR could be a low-cost predictor marker to identify patients with multiple coronary vessel involvement. Objective: To demonstrate the diagnostic utility of NLR for identifying multivessel disease (MVD) in patients with STEMI. Materials and methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in patients with STEMI who underwent reperfusion therapy between 2020 and 2023. The association of serum inflammation parameters (neutrophils, lymphocytes, NLR, and US troponin T) with the presence of MVD determined by coronary angiography was assessed. Independent factors associated with MVD were also studied. ROC curves were performed to assess sensitivity and specificity and optimal cut-off points to predict the presence of MVD. Results: A slight increase in NLR was observed in people with MVD, although it was not statistically significant (p = 0.648). A NLR value of 2.075 was determined as a cut-off to predict MVD (sensitivity 94.1%, specificity 90%, AUC = 0.568). Multiple regression analysis did not determine independent factors associated with MVD. Conclusions: NLR was not related to a higher incidence of MVE in patients with STEMI. Therefore, inflammatory markers were not useful to predict the presence of MVD in patients admitted for STEMI.

Authors: Saul John
Published: February 2025

Numerous occurrences of transparent gemstones are in diverse ways associated with large circular scar-patterns on the Earth’s surface. These are interpreted as vestiges of the asteroid and meteorite bombardment that also scarred the Moon. Neither the existence of these circular scars nor their identification with 4 billion-year-old impacts can be accommodated by presently held versions of plate tectonic theory.

Brain tumors pose a significant global health challenge due to their high prevalence and mortality rates across all age groups. Detecting brain tumors at an early stage is crucial for effective treatment and patient outcomes. This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for brain tumor detection using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. The dataset, consisting of MRI scans from both healthy individuals and patients with brain tumors, was processed and fed into the CNN architecture. The SoftMax Fully Connected layer was employed to classify the images, achieving an accuracy of 98%. To evaluate the CNN's performance, two other classifiers, Radial Basis Function (RBF) and Decision Tree (DT), were utilized, yielding accuracy rates of 98.24% and 95.64%, respectively. The study also introduced a clustering method for feature extraction, improving CNN's accuracy. Sensitivity, Specificity, and Precision were employed alongside accuracy to comprehensively evaluate the network's performance. Notably, the SoftMax classifier demonstrated the highest accuracy among the categorizers, achieving 99.52% accuracy on test data. The presented research contributes to the growing field of deep learning in medical image analysis. The combination of CNNs and MRI data offers a promising tool for accurately detecting brain tumors, with potential implications for early diagnosis and improved patient care

Published: February 2025

Researchers in the computer science field have been attracted by Qur'an-based research. This research area focuses on representing the ontology-based Qur'an. A semantic-based search will be beneficial in extracting information from the Quran, which has complex knowledge and language. This work aims to develop flexible semantic Qur'an question-answering by applying graph-based summarization and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) methods to add flexibility to semantic-based searches in the Indonesian Language. Meanwhile, the Qur'an is based on a unique Arabic language. It is a part of the complexity of this work. The graph-based summarization method effectively summarizes a complex question. It was proved by ROUGE testing with F1, precision, and recall scores of 72%, 62%, and 72%, respectively. The KNN method evaluated by the expert resulted in an average approval percentage on the 1st, second, and third topics of 62.11%, 66.15%, and 19.61%. As for other issues related to the questions, 70% needs to be displayed. The analysis of the obtained result indicates that the classification step needs to be improved in the tiny dataset. This work will contribute to Qur'an Question Answering as it is considered that the Qur'an is a different object compared to the other content of Question Answering. The Qur'an is an object that contains a massive amount of multi-interpretation. Lots more work in the future. The dataset is also limited by the scope of the theme of this research, which is only the pillars of Islam, so many topics still need to be included in the dataset
