Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that grow within the ovaries, resembling a balloon filled with fluid. This fluid can be water, blood, pus, or thick brown fluid similar to menstrual blood. This study aims to identify factors associated with the incidence of ovarian cysts at Bahteramas Regional General Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province. The research method used is quantitative analytical research with a case-control design. The study was conducted in the ob-gyn polyclinic in May 2024. The study population included all women with gynecological diseases, totaling 162 respondents. The research sample consisted of 98 respondents, divided into two groups: case and control, each consisting of 49 respondents. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The results showed a significant relationship between age, age at menarche, parity, and education with the incidence of ovarian cysts. Chi-square statistical test results showed a p-value for age of 0.000, for age at menarche of 0.032, for parity of 0.005, and for education of 0.004, all of which are less than 0.05, indicating statistical significance. The conclusion of this study is that there is a significant relationship between these factors and the incidence of ovarian cysts at Bahteramas Regional General Hospital, Southeast Sulawesi Province. These findings highlight the importance of considering these factors in efforts to prevent and manage ovarian cysts and the necessity for education and increased awareness regarding reproductive health among women. Further research with a larger sample size and longitudinal design is needed to strengthen these findings and develop more effective interventions.
Euthanasia dikaji dari aspek medis dan aspek bioetik
Authors: I Gede Eka Agung Agastya Punia
Published: August 2024

Euthanasia merupakan penerapan atau penghentian prosedur yang memungkinkan percepatan atau pemicu kematian pasien yang sakitnya tidak dapat disembuhkan, untuk membebaskan mereka dari penderitaan luar biasa yang menyiksa pasien. Berdasarkan aspek medis, jenis euthanasia dapat dibagi menjadi 2 macam. Yaitu euthanasia aktif dan euthanasia pasif. Euthanasia aktif merupakan suatu peristiwa dimana seorang dokter atau tenaga kesehatan lainnya, secara sengaja melakukan suatu tindakan untuk mengakhiri hidup seoran pasien. Di Belanda, obat yang paling banyak digunakan adalah jenis neuromuscular relaxant. Euthanasia Pasif berarti menghentikan atau mencabut setiap tindakan atau pengobatan yang diperlukan untuk mempertahankan keberlangsungan dari manusia. Pada praktik sehari-hari, terdapat euthanasia yang menyerupai euthanasia namun tidak memiliki unsur euthanasia di dalamnya yang disebut dengan euthanasia semu. Berdasarkan aspek bioetik. euthanasia memiliki permasalahan pada etika otonomi dan etika justice dimana kedua etika tersebut dapat disalahgunakan dalam tindakan euthanasia seperti memungkinkan seseorang untuk mengakhiri hidupnya sendiri (otonomi) dan melakukan euthanasia kepada orang yang tidak kompeten.

Published: August 2024

The instructional model is a crucial component in the educational process. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Group Investigation learning model in enhancing students' mathematics outcomes. A quantitative research method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design was used, involving 29 eighth-grade students. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, revealing a pretest score of 0.010 and a posttest score of 0.063 after implementing the Group Investigation model. The average posttest score was 77.91, indicating a significant impact on learning outcomes. Observations over three sessions showed an increase in student participation from 26.97% with an average score of 2.24 in Session I (categorized as "Less Active") to 42.79% with an average score of 3.56 in Session II, and 45.38% with an average score of 3.78 in Session III (both categorized as "Active"). This increase demonstrates that the Group Investigation model not only enhances student participation but also makes students more active in learning, thereby improving mathematics outcomes. Therefore, the Group Investigation model is an effective strategy for enhancing students' achievement in mathematics. Further research with more refined methods and tools is needed to confirm these findings.

This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach in a junior high school in Jakarta for the academic year 2023/2024. The participants in this study are 36 students. Data were collected through written examinations and interviews and analyzed using the triangulation technique. The results of the study showed different patterns of computational thinking skills between male and female students. Male students excel in decomposition and algorithmic thinking but are weak in abstraction and generalization. Female students excel in abstraction and decomposition but are weak in algorithmic thinking and generalization. Both male and female students master the context of decomposition for computational thinking skills but lack mastery in the context of generalization. In conclusion, gender differences influence specific aspects of computational thinking skills, indicating the need for tailored educational strategies to address these differences.
Identification of Enterococcus spp. and Lactococcus spp. Strains Isolated from Bovine Mastitis by MALDI-TOF MS and Evaluation of Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles
Authors: Ötkün Songül , Oğuz Ayda Nur , Yıldırım Ferhat , Tel Yaşar
Published: August 2024

Mastitis is an important problem affecting animal health, welfare, and economy. Bacterial agents play a dominant role in the disease. The role of enterococcal and lactococcal species among environmental bacterial agents in mastitis has been underestimated due to inadequate identification. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify Enterococcus spp. and Lactococcus spp. from mastitic bovine milk and to evaluate the agents phenotypically in terms of antimicrobial resistance. A total of 108 milk samples from cattle with suspected mastitis were analyzed for enterococci and lactococci by standard microbiological techniques and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). By standard microbiological methods, 38 (35%) Enterococcus spp. and 13 (12%) Lactococcus spp. were isolated and identified from 51 milk samples. In species-level identification with MALDI-TOF MS, six different enterococci and three different lactococci were identified within acceptable score ranges. In antibiogram tests performed with the standard Kirby-Bauer method using 10 antimicrobials, 26% of the Enterococcus spp. and 46% of the Lactococcus spp. were resistant to at least 50% of the antimicrobials tested. In Enterococcus spp., the highest resistance rates were observed for enrofloxacin (79%) and ampicillin + cloxacillin (71%), while the best sensitivity (100%) was obtained for penicillin and ampicillin. In Lactococcus spp., the highest resistance rate was observed for enrofloxacin (85%) and amoxicillin + clavulanic acid (70%) and the best sensitivity (100%) was obtained for penicillin, ampicillin, and gentamicin.
As a result, it was concluded that the diversity and high rate of antimicrobial resistance of enterococcal and lactococcal species in mastitis isolates poses a serious potential threat to animal and public health.
Uruguayan Insect Research: Seven Decades Shaping Neuroscience
Authors: Silvera María Constanza , Prieto Daniel
Published: August 2024

Insect research has significantly advanced neuroscience by addressing fundamental questions. Uruguay has played a pivotal role in this field, contributing to foundational discoveries that comprise neuronal plasticity, circadian rhythms, and molecular neurodevelopment. Uruguayan researchers have explored synaptic activity-induced changes in developmental proteins at the neuromuscular junction and investigated age-related morphological changes in motor terminals influenced by circadian rhythms. Collaborative efforts have expanded insights into the olfactory glomeruli, revealing synaptic spinules and microcircuitry through advanced microscopy. Molecular investigations have identified temporal expression patterns of synaptic genes during neurodevelopment. Explorations into hypoxic development in the optic lobe have uncovered oxygen-mediated brain size regulation via atypical soluble guanylyl cyclases. Additionally, Uruguayan researchers have elucidated mechanisms of reversible neurodegeneration in mutants, highlighting the utility of D. melanogaster as a model for human neurodegenerative disorders. This review underscores seventy years of Uruguayan contributions to insect neuroscience, demonstrating how despite having a limited number of researchers, Uruguay has embraced and promoted interdisciplinary collaborations and innovative methodologies.
Active and Passive Offline Breaks Differentially Impact the Consolidation of Procedural MotorMemories in Children and Adults
Authors: Voisin Dimitri , Peigneux Philippe , Urbain Charline
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Short post-learning breaks, lasting from5 to 30min, transiently enhance procedural motormemory performance inadults. However, the impact of activity type (active vs. passive) during the offline break on sequentialmotor performance remainspoorly investigated in children.Method: This study examined the impact of active versus passive post-learning breaks on procedural motor memory in 116healthy participants (58 children, aged 9.03 ± 1.19; 58 adults, aged 22.89 ± 1.77 years). Participants practiced a Finger TappingTask, reproducing a five-element keypress sequence as fast and accurately as possible. The task included two sessions (S1 andS2) separated by either a short (30 min) or long (4 h) break. The first 30-min of the post-learning break included either a passive(remaining still) or an active (engaging in daily activities) condition.Results: Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed significant Session × Age group × Break duration and Session × Break typeinteraction effects (ps < 0.05). Post hoc analyses indicated Session effects in adults after both Break types, but only after shortBreak duration (S1 < S2, p < 0.001; long delay p = 0.1). In children, Session effects were observed after both short and long breaks,but only in the active Break type (S1 < S2, ps < 0.001; passive condition p = 0.1).Conclusion: These results revealed spontaneous post-learning motor performance improvements at both short and long delays inchildren, but only in the active post-training condition, unlike adultswho showed improvements only at short delays, regardless ofactivity type. This suggests developmental differences in offline conditions (duration and activity) linked to plasticity mechanismsunderlying procedural motor memory consolidation.
Leveraging Synthetic Data to Advance Organizational Science
Authors: Wang Pengda , Loignon Andrew , Shrestha Sirish , Banks George Christopher , Oswald Fred
Published: August 2024

The importance of data sharing in organizational science is well-acknowledged, yet the field faces hurdles that prevent this, including concerns around privacy, proprietary information, and data integrity. We propose that synthetic data generated using machine learning (ML) could offer one promising solution to surmount at least some of these hurdles. Although this technology has been widely researched in the field of computer science, most organizational scientists are not familiar with it. To address the lack of available information for organizational scientists, we propose a systematic framework for the generation and evaluation of synthetic data. This framework is designed to guide researchers and practitioners through the intricacies of applying ML technologies to create robust, privacy-preserving synthetic data. Additionally, we present two empirical demonstrations using the ML method of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to illustrate the practical application and potential of synthetic data in organizational science. Through this exploration, we aim to furnish the community with a foundational understanding of synthetic data generation and encourage further investigation and adoption of these methodologies. By doing so, we hope to foster scientific advancement by enhancing data-sharing initiatives within the field.
Revisiting the neuroscientific evidence for unconscious perception - the implications of affordances theory and biased competition.
Authors: Iotchev Ivaylo Borislavov
Published: August 2024

Neuroscientific support for the equivalence hypothesis, stating that perception can be either conscious or unconscious, rests upon overlap in the brain areas activated during conscious perception and subliminal priming. This interpretation is argued here incompatible with the implications of the biased competition model, wherein different interpretations of the world compete and one must be suppressed in favor of the other. In such a framework a representation should not only be defined by what information is active, but also by what information is suppressed. Currently there is no reason to believe that the content of primes can suppress alternative interpretations of reality and this likely leads to their content and other interpretations canceling each other out. This view elegantly explains why primes often merely bias the agent instead of being real targets for behavior and is also potentially a testable hypothesis.
Fear and Safety Learning in Anxiety- and Stress-Related Disorders: An Updated Meta-Analysis
Authors: Kausche Franziska Magdalena , Carsten Hannes Per , Sobania Kim Marie , Riesel Anja
Published: August 2024

Fear learning processes are believed to play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of anxiety and stress-related disorders. To integrate results across different studies, we conducted a systematic meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines to examine differences in fear conditioning during fear acquisition, extinction, and extinction recall between individuals with anxiety-related or stress-related disorders and healthy participants. This analysis updates the work of Duits et al. (2015) while also refining distinctions between physiological and behavioral outcomes and examining extinction recall. Our meta-analysis encompasses 77 studies published from 1986 to 2022, involving 2052 patients with anxiety disorders, OCD, or PTSD, and 3258 healthy controls. The results indicate significant differences in fear acquisition, extinction, and recall between the two groups. Specifically, during acquisition patients exhibited heightened physiological and behavioral responses to the CS- and reported increased affect ratings for the CS+. During extinction and extinction recall, patients continue to show heightened threat expectancy and negative affect ratings towards the CS- and increased affect ratings towards the CS+. No differences were found in CS+/CS- differentiation between groups. These findings imply that individuals with anxiety and stress-related disorders may exhibit amplified responses to safety cues and stronger reactions to threat cues during fear conditioning, lasting through extinction and extinction recall. These changes may lead to increased sensitivity in detecting fear and slower extinction process, resulting in more enduring anxiety responses. We discuss these results in the context of existing literature on fear and safety learning and consider potential underlying mechanisms.
Mapping the Unseen in Practice: Comparing Latent Dirichlet Allocation and BERTopic for Navigating Topic Spaces

Published: August 2024

This article focuses on the strengths and weaknesses of topic modeling for the social studies of science. For about a decade, Natural Language Processing opened new research avenues beyond traditional bibliometric approaches, such as co-citation, co-authorship, and co-word analysis. Among these, the most prevalent are latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) and BERTopic. The first is a Bayesian probabilistic model and the latter is rooted in deep learning. It remains unclear what those differences imply in practice, and how they contribute to our sociological understanding of the inner works of science. This paper compares results obtained by LDA and BERTopic applied to the same dataset composed of all scientific articles (n=34,797) authored by all biology professors in Switzerland between 2008 and 2020. Although they differ in their operationalization, LDA and BERTopic produce topic spaces with a similar global configuration. However, major differences are observed when focusing on specific multidimensional concepts, such as gene or species. Overall, we stress that topic modeling offers a highly valuable ground for collaborative interdisciplinary research among scholars from all the social studies of science and beyond, when combined with in-depth knowledge of the object under scrutiny.

Konsep "ekonomi biru" memiliki fokus utama yaitu pada pemanfaatan sumber daya laut secara berkelanjutan yang dimana memiliki tujuan untuk meningkatkan ekonomi dan mata pencaharian masyarakat. Konsep dari ekonomi biru menekankan hubungan antara kegiatan sektoral karena dampaknya terhadap sumber daya laut dan kebutuhan akan pendekatan manajemen terpadu. Pendekatan ini juga termasuk dalam perencanaan untuk tata ruang laut untuk mengelola trade-off lintas sektor, menggunakan konsultasi dengan berbagai pihak berwenang dan peningkatan data, serta memperhitungkan modal alam untuk memaksimalkan pertumbuhan ekonomi, dan 'pembiayaan biru'/’blue financing’. Pelaksanaan ekonomi biru ini juga dapat menjadi suatu profit sendiri untuk suatu wilayah yang memiliki ruang besar dalam sektor maritim. Pelaksanaan ekonomi biru di Indonesia ini ternyata dapat dilaksanakan pada salah satu hutan mangrove yang berada di Surabaya. Hutan mangrove Wonorejo Surabaya merupakan salah satu hutan mangrove terbesar di Surabaya. Hutan mangrove Wonorejo ini mulanya adalah hutan mangrove liar. Dalam artikel ini metode yang digunakan oleh penulis untuk penelitian adalah metode kualitatif deskriptif. Berdasarkan dari hasil observasi yang telah dilakukan, penulis dapat menarik kesimpulan bahwa wisata hutan mangrove Surabaya tidak menerapkan ekonomi biru sehingga tidak mendapatkan hasil tambahan yang seharusnya bisa didapatkan apabila ekonomi biru diterapkan.
Bureaucratic Actors vs Legitimate Actors: Explaining the Choice of Interim Presidents in Filling the Dual Vacance of the President and the Vice President
Authors: Ramadhan Febriansyah , Widagdo Setyo , Widiarto Aan Eko , Susmayanti Riana
Published: August 2024

One of the difficult situations in government occurs due to the double vacancy of the President and Vice President offices. The country’s constitution must navigate this vacuum by providing for an Interim President to temporarily lead the government until a new President and Vice President are elected. In the constitutions of various countries, there are two models of Interim President, some give mandate to bureaucratic actors (Prime Ministers/Ministers) and some give mandate to legitimate actors (legislature of House of Representatives/Senate) to step up as Interim President. This paper aims to explain these two models in terms of filling public positions and presidentialism settings. The results of this study will be able to showcase the strengths and weaknesses of bureaucratic actors and legitimate actors when serving as Interim President, which supported with experience from various countries. With the help of socio-legal methods, this paper closes the theoretical gap in the constitutional and political law literature which has not explained these two models. Our paper shows that both have advantages in different aspects: the bureaucrat actor is superior in terms of policy because he was involved in the previous Government Cabinet, while the legitimate actor is superior in terms of politics because he has democratic legitimacy and was elected by the people and political parties. What is a weakness for one actor, becomes an advantage for the other.

Published: August 2024

The continuous construction of buildings and roads in Jakarta has led to increasingly limited land conditions, resulting in minimal opportunities for farming and animal husbandry. One way to cultivate vegetables and raise fish in limited land is through the bucket fish farming system. This study aims to obtain good planting media for optimal growth and harvest results in vegetable and fish cultivation in buckets. The research was conducted at the Universitas Trilogi greenhouse from April to June 2021, using planting media types (Cocopeat and ash) and vegetable types (lettuce and mustard greens). The results on lettuce with Cocopeat planting media, with parameters including plant height, number of leaves, total weight, and fresh weight, showed better values compared to ash planting media, with respective values of 33.53 cm, 9 leaves, 25.81 grams, and 20.74 grams. The results on mustard greens with Cocopeat planting media, with parameters including plant height, number of leaves, total weight, fresh weight, and leaf color chart, showed better values compared to using ash planting media, with respective values of 23.07 cm, 5 leaves, 19.34 grams, 12.09 grams, and 3.63. The weight of catfish planted with vegetables using ash planting media on lettuce and mustard greens had higher weight values compared to using Cocopeat planting media.

Published: August 2024

Background: Hospitalisation can be a profoundly unsettling experience, often prompting patients to rely heavily on their spiritual beliefs and practices for comfort and strength. Spirituality, whether it involves prayer, meditation, reading religious texts, or other rituals, can provide significant psychological comfort and help patients navigate the emotional turmoil of their health challenges. The objective is to explore patients’ personal coping strategies and expectations regarding spirituality during hospitalisation.
Methods: This study applied a phenomenological approach. Ten participants were recruited through purposive sampling. They participated in in-depth, face-to-face, and audio-recorded one-time interviews. All interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis to identify key themes.
Results: Two themes were identified: (1) personal coping strategies with the subthemes: a) faith in God, b) reflection on family, and c) unleashing the power of self-motivation, and (2) Personal expectation with the subthemes: a) fostering attentiveness and empathy in patient care, and b) hospital management’s role.
Conclusion: Patients seeking treatment in hospitals often need more than just physical medical interventions; their overall well-being can also significantly benefit from spiritual care. These findings suggesting hospital management teams to address staffing issues and enhance training programs to foster a more compassionate and patient-centric approach in patient care.
Examining AI Guidelines in Canadian Universities: Implications on Academic Integrity in Academic Writing
Authors: Marcel Faith , Kang Phoebe
Published: August 2024

Academic integrity is a crucial aspect of higher education that fosters intellectual honesty and upholds the principles of fairness and trustworthiness (Stoez & Eaton, 2020; Kang, 2022; Eaton, 2022). As the introduction and integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies becomes increasingly prevalent in educational settings, it is imperative to examine how Canadian universities are addressing the implications of AI on academic integrity (Eaton, 2022; UNESCO, 2023). This study aimed to examine the existing AI guidelines and policies developed and implemented by Canadian universities and analyze their alignments and gaps in relation to their academic integrity policies, particularly in the domain of academic writing in Canadian higher education contexts. In this research study, sixteen Canadian universities were selected for document analysis, and through an examination of their existing polices and guidelines on AI, results revealed insights into both challenges and opportunities for faculty, students and stakeholders around teaching academic writing while upholding academic integrity in higher education.
New Tropes for Old
Authors: Natarajan Srividya
Published: August 2024

Many of the celebrated and generative tropes that defined the work and self-image of American writing centres—tropes like Stephen North’s “fix-it shop in the basement,” Andrea Lunsford’s “Burkean Parlour,”and Kenneth Bruffee’s “conversation of mankind”—also helped create and affirm an apparent scholarly and pedagogic consensus about writing centre praxis in the Canadian context. I examine the way such tropes imagine our practices—dialogical guidance, collaborative learning, scaffolding, and relationship-building—and the bodies and minds that are enacting them. Using sonnets, narrative, and reflection to propose alternative tropes, I explore how the entry of othered bodies and minds, new perspectives, and marginalized cultures into the writing centre world might change the way we relate to each other and the way we re-imagine our collectivity.

Microwave Solid-Phase Synthesis of Ni-Co Ferrites and their Activities in Liquid-Phase Oxidation of m-Xylene
Authors: Hasanguliyeva Nargalam M. , Shakunova Ninel V. , Litvishkov Yuriy N.
Published: August 2024

In this paper, the activity of mono- and di-substituted cobalt and nickel ferrites prepared by microwave solid-phase synthesis was studied in the reaction of liquid-phase oxidation of m-xylene to m-toluic acid. It was established that among the tested samples, the di-substituted ferrites of spinel structure with the composition of Ni0,6Co0,4Fe2O4 have the shortest induction period and the highest initial rate of oxygen absorption. In order to clarify the role of the active surface of the Ni0.6Co0.4Fe2O4 catalyst and the volumetric conversions of m‑xylene in the nucleation stage of primary xylyl radicals, the dependence of the induction period was studied. Furthermore the rate of oxygen absorption was investigated as a function of the time of introduction of the inhibitor into the oxidized m-xylene at different ratios of the total size of the heterogeneous surface to the volume of m‑xylene loaded into the reactor (S/V). The dependence of the selectivity of the process to the targeted product, m-toluic acid, on the specific surface area of the catalyst samples was established and it was shown that selectivity to the by-product, m-methylbenzyl alcohol, increased and selectivity to m-toluic acid decreased in the case of cobalt ferrite with a relatively low specific surface area.It was shown that at the first stage reaction (5–10 min.), ie., in conditions of an as yet undeveloped radical chain reaction, in the presence of disubstituted ferrites of the composition (Ni1–xCoxFe2O4), in comparison with monosubstituted ferrites, a higher initial rate of formation of the primary oxidation product of m-xylene — m-methylbenzylhydroperoxide (main intermediate product obtained during formation of m-toluic acid) is observed. The correlation of the activity of mono- and disubstituted Ni-Co ferrites, in the conditions of developed heterogeneous catalytic conversion of m‑xylene, disubstituted Ni-Co ferrites are also characterized by higher rate of heterogeneous nucleation of free radicals and heterogeneous catalytic conversion of the intermediate product — m-toluic aldehyde to m‑toluic acid. This, in turn, provides a high degree of selectivity for the targeted product with the yield of 79.8 %.

Catalysts speed up chemical reactions by reducing activation energy, while the catalysts themselves remain unchanged throughout the reaction. This is especially important in industry, where catalysts increase process efficiency, reduce production costs, and enable chemical transformations that would not normally occur. Additionally, catalysis promotes the development of environmentally friendly technologies by minimizing harmful emissions. As a result, the chemical industry becomes more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
In this Special Issue, authors from countries such as China, Russia, Czech Republic, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan share their 14 papers in the field of catalysis with readers of the Eurasian Journal of Chemistry. The Guest Editors of this Special Issue have invited new authors with interesting topics and hope that the collected articles will attract reader interest and expand the audience of the Eurasian Journal of Chemistry!

The Measurement While Drilling (MWD) process is essential in the oil and gas industry to obtain real-time data during drilling operations. One of the MWD methods commonly used is mud- pulse telemetry, which transmits data through mud pulses generated by the drilling fluid. This study focuses on the data acquisition process on MWD using Mud-pulse telemetry at Well X, which is located in Field Y. The purpose of this research is to analyze the performance  of the MWD system, evaluate the quality of the data obtained through mud-pulse  telemetry. The results showed that from the results of well X data, Mud Pulse Telemetry with Continuous Wave System can transmit data continuously and in real time and can measure up to a depth of 1,268 meters. The advantage of Mud Pulse Telemetry is that mud pulses can transmit data with a signal  without  being disturbed by interference  from signals  inside  the earth,  so the  resulting noise tends to be a little lack ing in it. Despite the advantages of mud pulses, there are also disadvantages. One drawback  is when there is a loss of circulation. Lost Circulation is the loss of drilling mud into the formation. This study recommends  actions  to optimize  drilling  conditions and fluid properties  to improve  the accuracy and reliability of MWD data.
