Distortions in sound: Bridging acoustics and psychoacoustics in auditory perception
Authors: Nurdin Tauhid Firman
Published: July 2024

The field of acoustics encompasses the examination of sound, encompassing both its physical characteristics and the way in which humans perceive auditory input. Acoustics is the study of how sound waves are created and spread physically, while psychoacoustics connects these physical characteristics to our auditory perceptions. Comprehending these two features is essential for progress in audio technology and understanding auditory perception aberrations such as paracusia and diplacusis. This research consolidates information from multiple investigations to examine the interaction between acoustics and psychoacoustics. The technique entails examining the current body of literature on the fundamental principles governing sound waves, their interaction with various materials, and their movement across space. The examination of psychoacoustic elements involved the conversion of sound waves into brain impulses. The study also examines certain psychoacoustic phenomena, such as the sense of pitch and auditory distortions. By combining acoustic and psychoacoustic concepts, we can gain a thorough comprehension of how we perceive sound. Sound waves, generated by mechanical vibrations, pass through substances such as air, causing compression and rarefaction cycles that move at a speed of about 344 m/s at a temperature of 20°C. Psychoacoustics studies the perception of sound waves, specifically how they are processed by the ear and converted into neural signals that the brain can understand. The key findings reveal the subjective nature of pitch perception, where alterations in intensity or length impact the perceived frequency and the precise sensitivity of pitch discrimination. Furthermore, abnormalities such as paracusia and diplacusis emphasize the intricacies of auditory perception. The study highlights the significance of psychoacoustics in audio technology, where principles are utilized in audio compression and noise reduction to improve sound quality and clarity. The comprehensive comprehension of acoustics and psychoacoustics lays the groundwork for advancements in audio technology and the creation of auditory experiences.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in the form of joint inflammation in adults. Based on the 2018 WHO report, it shows that there are 335 million people in the world who have rheumatism, of which 5-10% are aged 5-20 years and 20% are aged 55 years. Factors that can cause pain in rheumatoid arthritis are dietary factors, one of which is frequent consumption of fast food and preserved foods. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of consumption of fast food and preserved foods to rheumatoid arthritis complaints in two gymnastics groups in Bandung City.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with a sample of 30 gymnastic ladies taken by purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test with IBM SPSS Statistic 21 software.Results: Based on the results of the analysis that has been done, there is no relationship between age, educational history, consumption of fast food and preserved food with rheumatoid arthritis complaints in the group of gymnastics ladies in Bandung City (p0,05).Conclusions: The absence of an association among age, educational history, consumption of fast food and preserved foods with rheumatoid arthritis complaints can be due to other factors outside of these factors such as genetics, gender, obesity, infectious diseases, and lack of knowledge about rheumatoid arthritis. What's more, rheumatoid arthritis is also a multifactorial disease, so we need to wisely maintain and regulate  his, her, their, etc lifestyle and food intake so that rheumatoid arthritis complaints can be minimized and do not have recurrences.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a growing global health concern, particularly in Indonesia, where the prevalence is projected to rise significantly. Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is a severe complication of DM that escalates the risk of amputations. Early detection of DFUs plays a crucial role in preventing associated complications Objective: This review aimed to assess the efficacy of infrared thermography in detecting DFUs in the Asia-Pacific region. Methods: A scoping review methodology adhering to PRISMA guidelines was employed. Databases were searched from 2011-2021. PICO strategy used keyword Diabetic foot ulcer, Skin ulcer, Leg ulcer, Foot ulcer, Diabetic neuropathic, Thermography, Temperature mapping, and Detection from PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Science Direct. Quality of article assessed by JBI. Results: Four (4) studies meeting the inclusion criteria were identified, primarily cross-sectional in design. The results indicated promising sensitivity and specificity of infrared thermography in detecting DFUs among DM patients. The technology's ability to capture thermal images revealing temperature variations associated with tissue inflammation, a common DFU indicator, underscores its efficacy. This non-invasive technique allows for early detection and monitoring of DFUs, facilitating timely interventions and improving patient outcomes. Additionally, infrared thermography provides a quantitative and objective assessment of tissue health, complementing traditional visual inspection and palpation methods. Its effectiveness lies in detecting subtle skin temperature changes, aiding in early identification and management of DFUs before they progress to more severe stages. Conclusion: Infrared thermography shows significant potential in detecting DFUs early, which is vital for effective management and prevention of severe complications. Despite the promising results, broader and more rigorous studies are necessary to validate these findings across different populations and healthcare settings. Further research across diverse settings and study designs is essential to reinforce these findings.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Stunting is growth faltering caused by as poor nutrition, recurrent infections, a lack of psychosocial stimulation. Growth faltering is associated to bone growth disorder.  In order to prevent and overcome stunting not only nutrition but also an adequate stimulation is needed. Objective: This study looked at the effects of tactile–kinesthetic stimulation on bone mineralization, osteocalcin levels and body height among stunting children. Methods: Eighty (80) stunting children (mean of age 8 ± 1,71) were randomly assigned into two groups. Tactile–Kinesthetic Stimulation (TKS) was administrated by trained parents twice daily for three months in the intervention group. The control group was given a routine care of stunting program from public health center. The bone mineralization (osteocalcin serum) and length of body in both groups were measured at enrollment and after week twelve. Results: During three (3) months TKS period, the intervention group had a significant increment in length and osteocalcin serum compared to control group (p 0.005) at 3.17 cm and 11.5 ng/ml respectively. Moreover, this study also showed that providing TKS demonstrated a strong correlation in a positive direction to length. The TKS treatment could increase the body height of stunting children by 86.5%. There was a positive correlation among osteocalcin levels, intake of vitamin A, protein and calcium on improving length (p0.05). Conclusion: TKS was significantly effective in promoting bone mineralization particularly osteocalcin levels and length among stunting children. There was also a strong correlation that TKS could elevate the length of 0.865-times.

Introduction: Indonesia's vulnerability to disasters highlights the urgent need for efficient disaster response. While nurses play a pivotal role, there exists a notable gap in their preparedness and the influence of resilience on their readiness. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between resilience and disaster preparedness among nurses, exploring how various resilience dimensions impact their readiness for disaster. Methods: Between April and June 2023, 260 nurses from two naval hospitals in Jakarta were surveyed in a cross-sectional study. Participants were selected based on quota sampling and required a permanent registered nurse and minimum nursing diploma. The study utilized the Disaster Adaptation Resilience Scale (DARS) and the Disaster Preparedness Evaluation Tool (DPET) for data collection, analyzed using SPSS v26.0. Variables were categorized as low, medium, or high, with the Chi-Square and Fisher exact test evaluating variable relationships. Results: Of the 260 surveyed nurses, most were female diploma holders over 40 years of age, with over 11 years of experience. The average resilience score was 336.16 (SD=26.575). Resilience sub-components: Physical resources at 41.57 (SD=4.091) and social resources at 37.37 (SD=3.671). Disaster preparedness averaged 218.18 (SD=24.238). The total Resilience was significantly correlated with Disaster Preparedness (p=0.000, OR=0.323). Each resilience dimension was consistently aligned with the heightened disaster preparedness levels. Conclusion: The correlation between resilience and readiness emphasizes the need for holistic nursing training and revised policies to bolster crisis responses.

Background: COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive impact on global health-care systems and economic stability. Smell and taste dysfunction is now recognized as one of the cardinal symptoms of COVID-19. Since the prevalence of olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19 infection varies from place to place, this study was done to find out the prevalence of olfactory dysfunction in COVID-19 infection, and its persistence on follow-up in a tertiary care centre situated in Alappuzha (South India). Methods: The present study was a tertiary hospital based descriptive study. 150 patients with COVID-19 Infection who presented to the centre during a period of 6 months were selected, and their detailed history, clinical findings and investigation results were recorded in a proforma. Follow-up of the patients was done for a period of 2 years. Results: Among the 150 COVID-19 patients 114 (76%) of them had olfactory dysfunction. There were no significant difference in the gender or age distribution, for olfactory dysfunction. Among those with olfactory dysfunction, 88 patients (77.2%) had a faster recovery within 2 weeks. On follow-up, there was persistence of olfactory dysfunction in 2 patients even after 2 years. Conclusion: The prevalence of olfactory dysfunction seen among COVID-19 patients was much more than that described in studies from other places. The persistence of olfactory dysfunction for a long period in some patients is a matter that needs further research to bring out the causative factors.

Study of creatinine and electrolyte variations amid individuals with chronic liver disease: A retrospective study
Authors: MSA Suryanarayana , A Michael , K Vellingiri , K Shanmugam
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Chronic liver disease is a progressive deterioration of liver functions for duration of more than six months, associated with features of inflammation, destruction and regeneration of the liver parenchyma, resulting in fibrosis or cirrhosis. Liver enzyme elevations are the mainstay for diagnoses. However, variations in sodium, potassium and chloride profiles are often seen in patients presenting with chronic liver disease and its associated complications such as hepatic encephalopathy and advanced cirrhosis. In our study, we hope to better understand the importance of dyselectrolytemia in liver dysfunction and the necessity of routine electrolyte tests performed in the clinical setting. Materials and methods: We analyzed sodium, potassium, chloride and creatinine levels with respect to three time points in hospitalization, that is ‘at the time of admission’, ‘during hospitalization’ and ‘at the time of discharge’ and the amount of variability of each electrolyte parameter with respect to these time points. Results: During the course of hospitalization, sodium and chloride showed no deviation from normalcy. Creatinine showed a decreasing trend towards normalcy and Potassium showed a mild variation in the initial stages of hospitalization but remained within normal limits. Conclusion: The routine testing of sodium and chloride in those with chronic liver disease may be rendered unnecessary in future and that the analysis of potassium and creatinine trends may help prognosticate the status of liver disease through the status of renal function. Nevertheless, further research is essential to better understand the association of these electrolyte parameters with chronic liver disease. Keywords: creatinine; electrolyte variations; chronic liver disease

Sampah merupakan permasalahan yang krusial di tengah masyarakat. Hingga saat ini masih ditemukan masyarakat yang membuang sampah sembarangan seperti di jalan, di selokan, atau di belakang rumah. Tak jarang pula masyarakat yang memilih untuk membakar sampah-sampah. Aktivitas membuang, menimbun, atau membakar sampah dapat menimbulkan dampak buruk baik pada manusia maupun lingkungan sekitarnya. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan teknik atau cara pengolahan sampah yang baik seperti dengan melakukan daur ulang sampah atau recycle. Salah satu upaya daur ulang sampah yang dapat dilakukan adalah pembuatan Alat Permainan Edukatif (APE) dengan memanfaatkan barang-barang bekas. Dalam pelaksanaannya, sosialisasi pengenalan APE menggunakan empat metode yaitu tahap perencanaan atau persiapan, proses pembuatan APE, pelaksanaan sosialisasi pengenalan APE, hingga tahap monitoring dan evaluasi. Selain bermanfaat dalam bidang pendidikan, sosialisasi pengenalan APE juga bertujuan untuk memberikan edukasi kepada para guru agar dapat meningkatkan kreativitasnya dalam membuat APE dengan memanfaatkan barang-barang bekas yang ada di sekitarnya, sehingga dapat membantu mengurangi penumpukan sampah. Kata kunci— Sosialisasi, APE, Barang Bekas, Permainan Edukatif Abstract Garbage is a crucial problem in society. Until now, people are still found littering the streets, in ditches, or behind houses. Not infrequently people also choose to burn garbage. The activity of disposing, hoarding, or burning waste can have a negative impact on both humans and the surrounding environment. Therefore, a good technique or method of waste management is needed, such as recycling waste or recycling. One of the efforts to recycle waste that can be done is to make Educational Game Tools (APE) by utilizing used goods. In its implementation, the socialization of the introduction of APE uses four methods, namely the planning or preparation stage, the process of making APE, implementing the socialization of introducing APE, to the monitoring and evaluation stage. Besides being useful in the field of education, the socialization of the introduction of APE also aims to provide education to teachers so they can increase their creativity in making APE by utilizing used items around them, so that they can help reduce the accumulation of waste. Keywords— Sosialization, APE, Scraps, Educative Game

Electric power is an energy of secondary that generated, transmitted and distributed to consumers and used to many activities. Electrical power system is electrical power installation system is consists of generation system, transmitting system, and distribution system that integration and function to supply electric power consumption. For this purpose, both of quantity and quality also continuity in PT PLN wished can be provides and distributes electric power to consumers and all of people. One of the main materials of the distribution network to distribute electric power to customers is the distribution substation in which there is a transformer. Transformer as a means of distribution of electrical energy is susceptible to interference. Distribution substation SM 0075 Feeder Bajera is one of the distribution substations that experienced a voltage drop at the end of the JTR in the C direction. So, to fix the problems that occurred, PT. PLN has added a substation. With the addition of substations, it is necessary to pay attention to the power losses that arise, not to cause greater power losses. Based on the results of the calculations at the distribution substation SM0075 Bajera feeder before and after the addition of the insertion substation, it was found that the voltage drop at the end of the JTR direction C at the SM0075 distribution substation was 22.638% in the R phase, 15.745% in the S phase and 14.005% in the T phase. the result of the addition of the substation is a smaller power loss with the difference before and after that is equal to 2739.986472 Watt. then viewed from the quality of the voltage and environmental conditions, the C18D6A1D3 pole is better for insertion substations than the C18D6A1D2 pole based on the Etap 12.6 simulation.
