Authors: Sari Alvyani Novita , Ratnawati Riska , Nur R Karina
Published: November 2024

This study aims to analyze the relationship between handler hygiene and the content of coliform bacteria in drinking water depots in the former Maospati District, Magetan Regency in 2024. Coliform bacteria are used as an indicator of fecal contamination in drinking water, which can pose serious health risks for consumers. The research method used is analytical observational with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling was carried out at simple random from 52 drinking water depots, with a total of 19 samples analyzed using the Most Probable Number (MPN) method to determine the concentration of coliform bacteria. The research results showed that the majority of drinking water depots (59%) had poor handler hygiene, while the remaining 41% had good hygiene. Microbiologically, 51.3% of water samples did not meet the requirements because they contained coliform bacteria, while 48.7% met the requirements. Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between poor handler hygiene and high levels of coliform content (p = 0.001), with a relative risk 12.2 times higher. This study makes an important contribution to knowledge about drinking water safety in the region, highlighting the importance of sanitation and hygiene monitoring in drinking water depots to reduce public health risks. Recommendations from this research include increased supervision and training for drinking water depot managers, as well as the need to strengthen regulations and implement stricter sanitation hygiene standards.

Authors: Ardiana Meity , Nirwana Wira
Published: November 2024

There has been an increase in the preval_ence of cardiovascular disease in Indonesia due to an increased preval_ence of hypertension. Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality among Indonesian Hajj pilgrims. Dyslipidemia and hypertension are positively correlated, with dyslipidemia potentially contributing to hypertension through the mechanism of atherosclerosis. The primary objective of this study is to identify the association between hypertension and dyslipidemia among Indonesian hajj pilgrims. A cross-sectional study involving 114,069 participants in total. The Indonesian Hajj pilgrims in 2023 were the research population. Pre-embarkation medical exams were performed by qualified healthcare professionals, and data were taken from Hajj medical service records. Using bivariate analysis and the Chi-Square (χ2) test, the proportions of age and gender were compared between the hypertension and non-hypertension groups. The relationship between triglyceride, HDL, and LDL levels and hypertension was determined through logistic regression analysis. Logistic regression analysis was used to provide a multivariate analysis of the relationship between dyslipidemia and hypertension. The hypertension group has an average age of 60.2 + 11.6 years old (p<0.0001). There was no difference in the effect of gender on hypertension (p=0.105). HDL, LDL, and Triglyceride serum levels significantly affected the preval_ence of hypertension (p<0.0001). Dyslipidemia was a risk factor for hypertension with an OR of 1.084 (1.057-1.112) (95% CI). Dyslipidemia is a risk factor for hypertension. Serum levels of HDL, LDL, and triglycerides affect blood pressure.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder requiring patients to manage and stabilize their condition to prevent complications. Education using e-booklets can facilitate information access and blood sugar control. This study aimed to eval_uate the effectiveness of e-booklet-based education on self-care behavior and blood sugar levels in diabetes mellitus patients. Conducted from June to August 2023 at X Hospital's internist clinic in Bandung, the research employed a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The study involved 126 respondents, with 63 in the intervention group and 63 in the control group, selected through purposive sampling. The intervention lasted 4 weeks, covering 8 materials with ongoing monitoring and active participation. Self-care behavior and random blood sugar levels were measured at the beginning and end of the study using the Summary Diabetes Self-Care Activity (SDSCA) questionnaire and blood glucose tests. The Wilcoxon test revealed significant differences in self-care behavior and blood sugar levels before and after the intervention (p < 0.05). The Mann-Whitney test showed significant differences between the intervention and control groups (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that age, gender, education, disease duration, and e-booklet-based education accounted for 22.2% of the variance in self-care behavior and 30.6% in blood sugar levels. E-booklet-based education effectively improves self-care behavior and blood sugar control. The study recommends ongoing development and supervision to establish healthy habits and prevent complications.

Published: November 2024

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) type 2 is susceptible to diabetic dyslipidemia, which is one of the factors in increasing the risk of complications from cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between glycemic control and lipid profile in type 2 DM patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Internal Medicine Polyclinic at Bangli Regional Hospital for the period January 2023-December 2023 and a total of 60 type 2 DM patients met the inclusion criteria. Patients were grouped into type 2 DM patients with controlled glycemic control (HbA1c < 7%) and uncontrolled (HbA1c≥7%). Lower levels of total cholesterol (160,444 ± 30,608 mg/dl vs 203,476 ± 45,471 mg/dl; p= 0.001), triglycerides (125,500 ± 56,019 vs 202,047 ± 91,568; p= 0.002), low-density lipoprotein (K-LDL ) (93,072 ± 28,443 vs 131,571 ± 44,590; p= 0.001) in type 2 DM patients with good glycemic control. High-density lipoprotein (K-HDL) levels (50,022 ± 14,050 vs 41,152 ± 12,619; p = 0.019) were higher in type 2 DM patients with good glycemic control. From statistical tests, a positive correlation was found between total cholesterol levels (r = 0.277; p = 0.032), triglycerides (r = 0.386; p = 0.002) and K-LDL (r = 0.357; p = 0.005) with HbA1c levels. There is a negative correlation between K-HDL (r=-0.366; p = 0.004) and HbA1c levels. The significant correlation between HbA1c and lipid profile shows the importance of glycemic control in type 2 DM patients.

REVIEW OF THE MOVIE OF ADSIZ CENGAVER VE SULTAN GELİN ACCORDING TO OTTO RANK'S "HERO PATTERN"
Authors: Aydemir Abdullah , On Özlem , Saydam Ramazan , Akkaya Mahmut
Published: November 2024

Folkloric products that folklore tries to understand and examine have attracted the attention of folklore researchers from the past to the present. Throughout the historical process, many folklore researchers have carried out some studies and investigations and put forward various theories, methods and opinions. As a result of text-centered folklore studies, theories have been created on folkloric products in this context. One of these theories is the "Structural Folklore Theory." Researchers such as J. G. von Hahn, Otto Rank, Lord Raglan, Eric Hobsbawm, Vladimir Propp, Claude Levi Strauss have developed models and methods by working in line with this theory. With the structural analysis of the hero's biography, which is one of the developed methods, aims to examine the adventures of the heroes, create a general pattern and understand the folk products in this way. Whether it is a folk tale, a fairy tale or an epic, it meets the public's need for listening and telling with the elements it contains. This needs to be continued as text-centered narratives were replaced by the electronic cultural environment over time. Especially with the development of technology, thanks to cinema, narratives are transferred to the big screen and the heroes in them are brought to the fore. So much so that the heroes in such narratives carry parts of the characteristics of the society in which they were created. In other words, the public identifies itself with the hero in the narratives and adopts him. As a natural result of this, some folklore researchers have focused their research on the heroes in the narratives. Otto Rank, who works within the framework of Structural Folklore Theory, makes a biographical structural analysis of the hero with his “Hero Pattern”. In this study, after a brief mention of Otto Rank's “Hero Pattern”, the electronic culture environment will be mentioned, and the Turkish-Iranian co-production film “Adsız Cengâver ve Sultan Gelin” will be analyzed according to Otto Rank's “Hero Pattern”. A general evaluation will be made about this situation by determining which of the items in this mold fit the movie or which items do not fit the movie.

FROM SERVICE TO SUPERIORITY: UNVEILING THE IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IN GIANT HYPERMARKETS, KLANG VALLEY, MALAYSIA
Authors: Kanapathipillai Kumaran , Nian Ooi Fu , Yi Chai Pei , Ping Yang Wan
Published: November 2024

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in retail has redefined customer experience, offering new opportunities for personalisation, service quality enhancement, and continuous service delivery. This study investigates the impact of AI on customers’ experience at Giant Hypermarkets in Klang Valley, Malaysia, focusing on four key areas: personalisation, service quality, hassle-free service, and customer service. Using quantitative methods, data were gathered from 365 respondents to assess the influence of AI-driven services on customer experience. The findings reveal that hassle-free service significantly enhances customer experience, while personalisation, service quality, and customer service show no significant impact. These results suggest that while AI is effective in streamlining operations and reducing customer effort, it may fall short in providing the emotional engagement needed to enhance the overall customer experience. This study highlights the importance of balancing AI efficiency with human interaction, particularly in relational services. This research offers valuable insights for retailers, academics, and small business owners, emphasizing the need to adopt AI technologies that focus on customer convenience and experience while maintaining a personal touch. This study clearly highlights the implications for the retail industry, demonstrating that AI can significantly enhance customer experience, but its strategic integration is crucial to address both operational efficiency and emotional engagement.

Authors: Kondakova L. I. , Kalashnikova S. A.
Published: November 2024

Aim. To assess the effect of 30-day dark deprivation on functional and histomorphometric changes in adenohypophysis gonadotropic endocrinocytes and their reversibility in mature male rats.

Materials and methods. Mongrel white male rats (n = 36) weighing 365–375 g at 4 months of age were randomly divided into three groups (each n = 12). For 30 days the control group was in automatic light-dark mode 12/12, and the rats of experimental groups 1 and 2 were in round-the-clock artificial lighting (24/0, 300 Lux), then the rats of group 2 were returned to 12/12 mode for the next 14 days. In the animals of the control and group 1 during their lifetime on the 31st day, and in group 2 on the 45th day, blood was taken from the abdominal aorta and levels of follicle-stimulating (FSH) and luteinizing (LH) hormones, melatonin, and Klotho protein were determined an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunoassay and after which they were removed from the experiment by decapitation. Postmortem histological and immunohistochemical examination of the pituitary gland was done using rabbit polyclonal antibodies targeting caspase-3 and Klotho protein, as well as morphometry. Statistical data processing was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test with post-hoc Dunn’s test.

Results. Light desynchronization in the form of 30 days of dark deprivation increased FSH and LH levels and decreased melatonin and Klotho protein levels in the blood of male rats; increased gonadotropic endocrine cell area, volume, and perimeter by 23.1% (p < 0.001), 48.7% (p < 0.001), and 10.9% (p < 0.001), respectively; and increased nucleus area, volume, and perimeter by 16%, 11.7%, and 2.5%, respectively. An immunohistochemical study showed an increase in the specific area of caspase-3-immunoreactive gonadotropic endocrinocytes by 25.2% without obvious morphological signs of apoptosis, and a decrease in the expression of Klotho protein by 25.7%. All indicators were reversible, the levels of FSH and Klotho protein in the blood of animals almost reached their initial values after 14 days of restoration of the light-dark cycle 12/12.

Conclusion. Dark deprivation for 30 days in male rats induced reversible processes of accelerated aging and apoptosis in cells, as evidenced by changes in the expression of aging markers in gonadotropic endocrinocytes and levels of gonadotropic hormones in the blood. When the light-dark mode is restored, the levels of FSH and Klotho protein normalize as early as 14 days.

Aim. To study the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1) in the cerebral cingulate and retrosplenial cortex of mice on Day 5 after intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at the dose with no nervous tissue inflammation provoked.

Materials and methods. The work was performed on 10 female C57BL/6 mice aged 90 ± 3 days. At the same time for 4 days, animals of group 1 were intraperitoneally injected with saline (0.9% NaCl), and animals of group 2 were injected with E. coli LPS endotoxin at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day. On the fifth day, the mice were withdrawn from the experiment by decapitation with xylazine/tiletamine-zoletil premedication, after which histological preparations of the cingulate and retrosplenial cortex were made, stained with antibodies to GFAP and Iba1, and the number of: (1) GFAP-positive cells of cytoplasmic areas, (2) cells with a positive reaction of antibodies to Iba1 were counted using QuPath software. Groups were compared using Mann-Whitney U-test.

Results. The number of GFAP-positive cells after LPS administration in Group 2 was significantly higher than in Group 1, exactly 22.5 (8.0; 32.0) vs 9.0 (4.3; 17.0), respectively, p = 0.0038. The number of Iba1-positive portions of cytoplasm also was significantly higher in Group 2, namely 207,5 (154,8; 295,8) vs 128 (89,3; 165,5), respectively, p = 0,014. Both groups showed neither signs of inflammation, excessive blood supply nor hemorrhages, as well as no perivascular edema or leukocytic migration.

Conclusion. LPS, administered i.p. to mice at a dose of 1 mg/kg/day for 4 days, allows assessment of changes in glia of CNS in damage with no signs of inflammation there. In cerebral cingulate and retrosplenial cortex, the number of astrocytes with a positive reaction of antibodies to GFAP increases, as well as number macrophages with the expression of the Iba1 protein.

Introduction: Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) is a proven treatment modality for Parkinson’s disease (PD), reducing dyskinesia and time spent in the “OFF” state. This study evaluates the long-term outcomes of STN-DBS in PD patients up to 10 years post-surgery in Singapore.

Method: We conducted a retrospective review of Movement Disorders Society-Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) scores, activities of daily living (ADLs), disease milestones, dopaminergic drug prescriptions, and adverse events in patients before and after STN-DBS surgery.

Results: A total of 94 PD patients who underwent bilateral STN-DBS were included. STN-DBS reduced time in the “OFF” state by 36.9% at 1 year (P=0.034) and 40.9% at 5 years (P=0.006). Time with dyskinesia did not significantly change. Levodopa equivalent daily dose was reduced by 35.1% by 5 years (P<0.001). MDS-UPDRS-II and III scores increased from 5 years post-DBS by 40.5% and 35.4%, respectively. Independence in ADLs decreased, though not significantly. The prevalence of frequent falls increased at 5 years. Surgery- and device-related adverse events were uncommon and generally mild.

Conclusion: STN-DBS provides sustained relief from motor complications and reduced medication requirements in PD patients in Singapore. This study highlights STN-DBS as an effective treatment option, significantly enhancing the quality of life for those with PD.

This case-control study aimed to investigate the association between residential environmental factors, parental lifestyle, and the risk of CLP in Indonesia. A total of 213 participants from 14 provinces were selected using stratified random sampling. Multivariable logistic regression was employed to determine the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each risk factor. The study identified significant associations between several residential environmental factors and CLP. Proper kitchen ventilation was found to be protective (OR = 0.245, 95% CI: 0.096–0.624, p = 0.003), while proximity to industrial sites significantly increased the risk (OR = 3.595, 95% CI: 1.029–12.558, p = 0.045). Additionally, using treated drinking water showed a protective effect (OR = 0.39, 95% CI: 0.16–0.95, p = 0.038), whereas concerns about water sources displayed a marginally significant risk increase (OR = 2.841, 95% CI: 0.876–9.211, p = 0.082). Regarding parental lifestyle factors, maternal active smoking exhibited a marginal protective association (OR = 0.052, 95% CI: 0.002–1.09, p = 0.057), while paternal passive smoking presented a marginally significant risk (OR = 2.309, 95% CI: 0.897–5.942, p = 0.083). Furthermore, paternal radiation exposure was associated with an elevated risk of CLP (OR = 3.489, 95% CI: 0.828–14.703, p = 0.089). These findings highlight the need for targeted public health interventions to mitigate environmental exposures and promote safer parental lifestyle behaviors in Indonesia.

Authors:   AVCO Consulting, Inc, USA, Samudrala Lakshmi Narasimha Rohith
Published: November 2024

In the quickly developing landscape of cloud computing, ensuring consistent performance, reliability, and security is critical for organizations leveraging cloud services. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) form the foundation of this assurance, detailing the expected service levels across various metrics such as uptime, response time, error rate, and throughput. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for automating SLA monitoring within Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments using Dynatrace, a leading software intelligence platform. By integrating AWS with Dynatrace, organizations can achieve real-time observability and proactive management of SLAs through the use of Service Level Indicators (SLIs) and Service Level Objectives (SLOs). The proposed methodology not only facilitates continuous monitoring and early detection of potential SLA breaches but also enables IT teams to take corrective actions promptly, thereby minimizing impact on end-users and optimizing resource utilization. The paper further explores the implementation of automated SLA monitoring in AWS, including the creation of SLOs, the application of AI-driven analytics for anomaly detection, and the development of dashboards for comprehensive SLA management. Through this approach, organizations can significantly enhance service quality, align cloud resources with business goals, and maintain a competitive edge in a dynamic cloud environment.
Chat Bots as the Future Multi Channel Customer Support user Experience Strategy : An Alternative View Point on Reusability Across end Customer and Customer Support Channels
Authors:   Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics and Telecommunication), Birla Institute of Applied Sciences, USA, Gaur Tanmaya
Published: November 2024

Organizations that sell products or services need to provide their customers with experiences that allow them to buy, renew, upgrade, service, or troubleshoot their products or services. These customer support experiences are built using a combination of end-customer experiences, often provided through web or native applications, and additional retail or care experiences where customer support agents access CRM, CSM, and ERP applications to address customer concerns. Traditionally, retail or care agent experiences have been different from web customer experiences, as they are purpose-built and optimized for quicker reuse by the organization’s pre-trained staff, whereas end-customer experiences are often simple and intuitive. Historically, this distinction has applied even when reuse was technically possible. In the modern AI-driven world, many customer-facing experiences are being replaced by AI chatbots. This paper explores the concept of chatbot experiences being the sole interface across end-customer, care and retail, leveraging the same core to power both advanced user and simplified end-customer conversations. This approach promotes reusability, eliminating the need to develop additional UI-based experiences for both customers and agents.

Enhancing Event Handling in Warehouse Management Systems through the Adapter Design Pattern: A Structural Approach to Data Integration
Authors:   USA, Rajendiran Gautham Ram
Published: November 2024

Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) are required for the smooth flow of merchandise from supplier to customer in order to coordinate activities at several touchpoints: from managing inventory, order processing, and shipping. In scaling and evolution, the WMS solution has to integrate with a variety of external and internal systems that often provide their data in different formats and protocols. Often the challenge arises when these systems use heterogeneous sources for data intake, thus making the maintenance of unified data intake and processing difficult. In this paper, we discuss the solution using the Adapter design pattern. The Adapter pattern will act as a mediator that will convert the data from different sources into one standard format that the WMS is able to handle consistently. It reduces the coupling between core modules of WMS and data sources, thus providing a flexible, extensible, and maintainable system. The paper shall further present an in-depth study of the use of Adapter pattern in handling events within WMS and shall be supported with diagrams for clarity
