Authors: Larisang Larisang , Putri Meylia Vivi
Published: December 2023

The problem that often occurs in the laundry business during the rainy season is the difficulty of drying cloth/clothes. Erratic weather changes make it difficult for wet clothes to dry. Ideally, drying clothes in the summer takes 6-7 hours and in the rainy season it can take up to 2 days. Drying clothes outside the home is susceptible to bacteria and germs. Clean clothes that are not maintained will cause bacteria to stick to the clothes and can certainly cause irritation to the skin. This study aims to design a clothes drying cabinet. To find out the specifications of the needs and desires of users, this research uses the Quality Function Deployment method. Closed interviews were used to obtain more detailed attributes and produce the HOQ (House Of Quality). The results of the HOQ are the level of difficulty of the design, the level of importance for each technical character and estimated costs so that it is feasible to design and implement. In designing a clothes drying cabinet, it requires a heater to function as a heater, a 12V fan functions to spread the temperature released by the heater, a temperature sensor functions to determine the temperature and humidity levels in the clothes drying cabinet, the control panel box functions to control the clothes drying cabinet like a button. on/off, temperature and humidity settings.

Langage Et Vérité : Du Signe A L’écriture
Authors: DOUTETIEN Mathieu Tankpinou
Published: December 2023

La philosophie s’intéresse à la sémiologie parce qu’elle s’oriente vers les questions de l’interprétation et du symbole. C’est pour dire qu’on ne peut accéder à une véritable compréhension du discours sans prendre en considération la question du signe qui nous plonge aussi dans la métaphysique à travers le langage : d’où la place primordiale de l’écriture.C’est à travers les mots que le discours est pensé, analysé, réfléchi.  Les mots nous portent vers la question du sens qui doit être cernée à travers un discours écrit bien évidemment. Les mots du langage ne sont pas choisis de façon immédiate mais pensée ; c’est pourquoi on dit que l’écriture utilise le jeu, de façon différente de l’exercice immédiat. Et c’est à l’intérieur de ce jeu qu’on identifie l’espace des signes du langage. C’est ainsi qu’à l’intérieur de l’écriture se réalisera la déconstruction du sens. C’est pourquoi l’écriture demeure un véritable moyen vers l’accueil et l’élaboration du discours philosophique. Le langage est aussi ce qui permet de faire surgir la question du sens en suscitant le discours de l’interprétation. C’est pourquoi il n’y a pas d’interprétation sans le langage et singulièrement sans le discours écrit qui nous introduit dans l’universalité.
L’herméneutique Et La Question De L’historicité
Authors: DOUTETIEN Mathieu Tankpinou
Published: December 2023

L’herméneutique a été abordée de différentes manières. Lorsque nous la mettons en relation avec l’historicité, cela suppose que pour qu’il y ait une herméneutique qui puisse apporter une véritable compréhension de l’être, elle doit être souscrite à une dimension historicité dont le prolongement est la « conscience historique » est en relation avec l’herméneutique. La relation d’un tel objectif nécessite un travail ontologique à travers la question du Dasein dont Heidegger en est le maître à penser d’une part ; et un travail phénoménologique sous la conduite du langage avec Husserl d’autre part.Tout ce débat entre les tenants d’une herméneutique ontologique, et ceux d’une herméneutique à partir du langage ne peut être fécond sans une prise en considération de la question de la « conscience historique » et des préjugés doivent avoir une certaine rationalité pour accéder à une précompréhension comme l’explique Gadamer. La tradition permet d’avoir accès à l’histoire sans laquelle l’être n’a plus d’identité. D’où la nécessité de situer l’être dans une dimension historique.
Effect Of Pressure Divider Valve On Hydram Pump Efficiency
Authors: Sutanto Rudy , Alit Ida Bagus
Published: December 2023

Hydram pump is a pump that does not require external energy as the main source of propulsion, to raise water from a low place to a high place. The working mechanism of the hydram pump is to multiply the force of the water blow in the air tube, where there is a change in the kinetic energy of the water into dynamic pressure which causes a water hammer. Dynamic pressure will be forwarded into the air tube which functions as an amplifier. However, the work of this pump cannot pump all the incoming water, so some of the water is pumped and some is discharged through the waste valve. This study aims to determine the effect of using a pressure divider valve on the input power, output power and efficiency of the hydram pump. The hydram pump used in this study was an air tube with a height of 60 cm and a diameter of 3 inches. The height of the waterfall is 2 m from the pump body and the output height is 4 m. The pressure divider valve is installed at a height of 2 m from the pump body. Pressure divider valve tube lengths: 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 cm. The method used in this research is the experimental method. The results showed that the highest input power was obtained at 5.53 watts when using a tube length of 20 cm and the lowest input power was obtained at 5.32 watts when using a tube length of 50 cm. the highest output power that can be pumped at 1.75 watts occurs when using a tube length of 20 cm. While the lowest output power pumped at 1.56 watts occurred when using a tube length of 50 cm. The highest D'Aubuisson efficiency was obtained at 31.6% when using a tube length of 20 cm. The lowest efficiency was obtained at 29.3% when using a tube length of 50 cm.

Published: December 2023

Résumé - L’objectif de cette étude est d’estimer la fréquence de retour des précipitations convectives extrêmes dans les plaines de la basse Betsiboka, Madagascar. L’approche méthodologique consiste à trouver les distributions statistiques des pluies convectives journalières maximales annuelles de 1959 à 2021 en les ajustant avec des distributions des valeurs extrêmes généralisées. Les paramètres des distributions des valeurs extrêmes généralisées ont été estimés par la méthode des moments pondérés. Les résultats obtenus montrent que l’ajustement des données étudiées avec les distributions des valeurs extrêmes généralisées sont adéquats. En outre, les maximas annuels suivent des distributions à queues lourdes. Les pluies convectives extrêmes sont imprévisibles et engendrent des crues et inondations qui pourront avoir des conséquences économiques et sociales graves dans cette zone. L’estimation de la récurrence de ces évènements météorologiques extrêmes est donc d’un grand intérêt.

Authors: Nugraha Rahmadya Putra , Komsiah Siti
Published: December 2023

The popularity of Korean Pop (K-pop) has been continuously thriving in various parts of the world and has permeated different aspects of people's lives across diverse demographics. This phenomenon is also attributed to the advancements in technology, which have significantly eased the accessibility of K-pop content for the general public. This research employs a qualitative method with a virtual ethnography approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews with seven informants, participant observation, literature review, and collecting digital documents in the form of screenshots. The results of this research depict fandom culture based on Lucy Bennett's perspective, which can be observed through four aspects: communication, creativity, knowledge, and organization and civil power, utilizing Twitter as a new media platform. Through the accounts created on Twitter, the researcher discovered that fan groups (fandoms) construct and produce their own culture in the digital realm. Twitter is used as a platform for interacting among fellow fans and with idols, serving as a source of information and a means of sharing information. Fans communicate through created virtual identities, fan speak, and fan jokes that can be observed on fan accounts, fanbases, and other platforms. Knowledge is obtained from official accounts as well as fanbases, where fans also produce works in various forms (audio, images, photos, and written works) that are shared through fan accounts. Fan groups also engage in fan projects through fanbase accounts, such as voting, voting, celebrating idols' birthdays, and making donations for their idols in various forms.

Background: Malaria remains a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa, and particularly in Gabon. In an epidemiological analysis in a rural area, the present study assessed asymptomatic malaria carriage in Ouéllé, and surrounding villages, in South-eastern Gabon: an epidemiological analysis, in a rural area of central Africa. Patients and method: This prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted from June 26 to 28, 2023. The sociodemographic characteristics of the participants were obtained. A small portion of blood collected by finger prick from each participant was used for qualitative detection of malaria-causing Plasmodium infection, using a Malaria Test MeriScreenTM Pf/PAN Ag lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. Results of analysis by R software version 4.0.3, were considered significant at p≤0.05.Results: Of the 321 people registered for the present study, 97  (30.22%) (95% CI: 0.25 - 0.36) (n=97), tested positive for malaria, compared with 224 (69.78%) ((95% CI: 0.64 - 0.75) (n=224). While a univariate analysis of the prevalence of malaria carriage according to gender showed no statistically significant association between the variables p=0.56, a univariate analysis of the prevalence of malaria carriage according to age group indicated that only participants aged between 28 and 57 (OR =0.17; 95% CI: [0.04 - 0.73] p=0. 007*), and according to each locality, the analysis showed that participants from Mvengué (OR =0.17; CI 95% : [0.04 - 0.73] p=0.007*), Djoutou (OR =0.17; CI 95% : [0.04 - 0.73] p=0. 007*), and Mouyabi (OR =0.17; 95% CI: [0.04 - 0.73] p=0.007*), were statistically susceptible to malaria were significantly associated with malaria carriage in the present study.Conclusion: These results, which indicate the persistence of asymptomatic malaria in Ouéllé and surrounding villages, call on Gabon's health authorities to redouble their efforts to combat malaria throughout the country.

Published: December 2023

Canned foods are frequently consumed globally, because they are cheap and available, and the increasing concern about food safety stimulated research regarding the risk associated with the consumption of food contaminated by heavy metals. This study includes determining the concentration of lead (Pb) in different foods associated with health hazard inference in Libya. A twenty-four samples of nine brands of canned foods packaged in metal containers collected randomly from the markets during available in local markets of Benghazi-Libya.The levels of lead usually are very low in foodstuffs, a procedure for the concentration of the element by dithizone as solvent extraction. Moreover, the pH of the sample is adjusted, and some physicochemical variables of canned food such as moisture, and ash were calculated. The concentration of selected toxic metal levels (Pb) in the foodstuffs were lower than the maximum allowable concentrations (1000µg/kg) as recommended in the China National Food Safety Standard established and by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). This suggests no additional health risks as well as consistency with the results.

The Congolese Government and its Performance in Cultural and Political Matters: 1960-2021, Assessment and Perspectives
Authors: Kouya Hortense Kouya
Published: December 2023

The sixties were marked by independence in Africa. During this period, several events took place. The original institutions have been confirmed. A French-speaking space was created: the Agency for Cultural and Technical Cooperation, which later became the IOF. The latter is nowadays equipped with several structures of which the Congo has been a member since 1981. This gathering of French-speaking countries on a cultural basis has imposed the establishment of a rule of law in the various member countries. In its space, the OIF promotes the values of democracy, human rights and sustainable development. Political and cultural issues have been major concerns within the OIF. The qualitative and quantitative transformation of human resources remains essential to the development of the country. Concerning the political domain, since 1991, the Republic of Congo has been engaged in a transition towards multiparty democracy and a market economy. This transition was compromised during the 1990s by the succession of civil conflicts, to a large extent between militias of different ethnicities. The country only emerged from civil wars in 2000, when it began the process of reconciliation and reconstruction, a process well advanced but still unfinished. These two sectors require the establishment of viable strategies for greater success.
La République Démocratique Du Congo Et Son Devenir Historique Avec Ses Religions Et/Ou Eglises, 62 Ans De L’indépendance Après : Un Regard Dialectico-Antrhopologico- Sociologique
Authors: Bolitsi Bolima William
Published: December 2023

La République Démocratique du Congo (RDC), en dépit de la multiplicité des religions et/ou Eglises, la dynamique du sous-développement et les actions de baisse de la pauvreté alternent avec les frustrations de la population. Cela se produit sous les yeux impuissants des apôtres et/ou prophètes autoproclamés, plusieurs fois rétractés par les croyants qu’ils drainent, par rapport à l’inadéquation parmi les potentialités du pays, leurs visions messianiques qui relèguent au second plan l’agir humain réfléchi dans le devenir historique du pays au profit des miracles divins, et la situation générale de la vie des congolais. Cependant, l’ensemble des atouts de cette nation auraient fait d’elle un modèle de rayonnement en Afrique et dans le monde. Ainsi, sous le regard dialectico-sociologique, la présente étude insiste sur l’action inhibitrice de la mystique de développement de la nation congolaise par ces religions et/ou Eglises, 62 ans après son indépendance. Pour ce faire, elle plaide pour une religion au service d'une libido dominandi, soutenue par la lecture utilitaire des instruments religieux.

Analysis Of The Spatial And Temporal Variability Of Rainfall In The Kayanga-Anambé Hydrological Complex (Republic Of Guinea And Senegal)
Authors: Ibrahima Thiaw
Published: December 2023

The high rainfall variability observed especially from the 1970s has intensified the vulnerability of water resources in tropical watersheds. It resulted in the recurrence of extreme hydrological events – combined with the increase in temperature which increases evapotranspiration causing considerable water losses – but also in the "Sahelization" of Sudanian areas resulting in the migration of isohyets towards the south.This article studies recent spatial and temporal changes in rainfall in the Kayanga-Anambé complex, as well as their potential hydrological implications. The methodological approach is based on (i) checking the quality of data and filling gaps using the method of rainfall indices with the Regional Vector Method (RVM); and on (ii) the analysis of spatial and temporal variability of rainfall using PETITT stationarity test and Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI).The evolution of rainfall in the basin is reflected in a fact specific to the intertropical zone, namely the variability of rainfall. This is marked by several sequences: a wet period between 1940 and 1967, followed by a long dry sequence which extends between the beginning of the 70s until the end of the 90s, and finally a slight resumption of the rainfall over the period 1993-2020. However, according to the outputs of global climate models ("Multi-model Ensemble"), the resumption of rainfall in the Kayanga basin will only be effective from 2060. This variability noted in the rains will induce a similar variability in the flows and agricultural production since they are largely dependent on it.

The development of digital technology can improve human intelligence; this is relatedto finding a job that suits them. There is an economy platform with a gig work program in online transportation services. Women are currently increasing in number against patriarchal opposition by determining the profession of online motorcycle taxi drivers as their jobs, such as the perception in society that this profession is a male profession, but this does not discourage women online motorcycle taxi drivers from seeking prosperi ty by becoming motorcycle taxi drivers. Discussion of women which is increasingly intensifying, encourages women to equate their ex istence with men's. Women are seen as only suitable for raising children and managing the household, but with the increasing demands of life, many women reject this view. They not only want to take care of their children and household, but they also want to work in the public sector. The theory used is the theory of symbolic interactionism. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The informants of this study are single mothers who work as online motorcycle taxi drivers. The data collection technique that the researcher used was the case study method, including notes, documentation, tabulation material, and narration from K. Yin. Data analysis includes data examination, classification, validation, analysis, and conclusions. The results of the study show that single mothers who work as online motorcycle taxi drivers have their own way of dividing their time between domestic and public roles, and communication between single mothers with their children an d consumers is well established. That is what makes their income as an onli ne motorcycle taxi driver able to meet the needs of his children and family.

Abstract - All Jokowi Mens itself is indirectly a political tactic from Jokowi's political actors in facilitating the next steps of government to be in the hands of Jokowi supporters such as Ganjar Pranowo and Prabowo Subianto. The purpose of this article is to review the analysis of All Jokowi Mens in the 2024 RI presidential election. The method used is qualitative descriptive analysis, in which the data obtained is processed, reduced and analyzed to become an article. The findings state that the All Jokowi Mens Analysis is a depiction of Jokowi's tactics as a political actor in smoothing the steps for the two candidates for the 2024 RI presidential candidate who will fight for both Ganjar Pranowo and Prabowo Subianto. Therefore in presenting Jokowi as a political actor both in the form of self-image, where he plays two legs to endorse Ganjar and Prabowo regardless of Jokowi's corporate image as a PDIP who obeys party rules especially in implementing the party line to carry Ganjar Pranowo as a candidate for president of the Republic of Indonesia in 2024. As for multi-image and personal appearance, Jokowi is a political actor as well as a King Maker who plays his role competing with other political actors such as Megawati Soekarnoputri, Surya Paloh, Jusuf Kalla who sometimes has hot and cold relations with them. Added to this, Jokowi's role outside of political parties with his ranks of volunteers adds to the impression that to present the next government, it remains to be All Jokowi Mens.Keywords: All Jokowi Mens, Jokowi, 2024 Indonesian Presidential General Election.

Authors: Perdana Muhammad A. , Wahyuni Dian D. , Yunita Rina
Published: December 2023

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is defined as a urinary tract infection associated with catheter placement for more than two consecutive days. Hence, antibiotic resistance in the context of CAUTIs represents a substantial challenge. The aim of this study was to present the characteristics of patients with CAUTI and the susceptibility pattern of CAUTI bacteria in the national reference hospital of the Sumatra region of Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted at H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, Indonesia, from 2020 to 2021, using a total sampling. All CAUTI patients included were on catheterization and diagnosed based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines. The patient’s urine culture and antibiotic susceptibility test were carried out on the patient’s admitted urine sample for further assessment. Identification of bacteria, antibiotic susceptibility test, and the extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) test for Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were conducted using the VITEK-2 Compact. A total of 74 CAUTI patients were included in the study, 59.5% were female, 54.1% were 46–65 years old, and a third had cardiovascular disease comorbidities (33.8%). A total of 83 CAUTI-associated bacteria were isolated. The majority were Gram-negative bacteria (74.7%), and the most bacteria isolated was E. coli (31.3%), followed by K. pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Enterococcus faecium. The ESBL test was positive mostly in K. pneumoniae (100%) and E. coli (76.9%). CAUTI-associated E. coli was susceptible to tigecycline, meropenem, ertapenem, nitrofurantoin, and gentamicin. The isolated K. pneumoniae was susceptible to tigecycline, meropenem, ertapenem, and amikacin. While E. faecalis showed susceptibility to tigecycline, nitrofurantoin, vancomycin, imipenem, linezolid, ampicillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ampicillin/sulbactam, and piperacillin.

It has been a long-standing interest in the biomedical field to delineate pathogen‒host cell interactions. The latest advancements in single-cell analyses with multiomics approaches have begun to revolutionize our understanding of the impact of intratumoral bacteria on tumor development. Recent studies suggest that intratumoral bacteria modulate the communication between tumor cells and surrounding immune cells, which changes tumor progression and plasticity. Thus, a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying intratumor bacteria-elicited pathogen‒host interactions will shed light on targeted interrogation in clinical oncology. This essay highlights recent progress in intratumor bacterial signaling and host cell plasticity control. In addition, we provide perspectives on how the molecular delineation of intratumor bacterial signaling and host cell plasticity control can help precision medicine and novel therapeutic development.

Objectives: Various diet scores have been established to measure overall diet quality, especially for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Diet scores constructed by utilizing modern machine learning techniques may contain independent information and can provide better dietary recommendations in combination with the existing diet scores. Methods: We proposed a novel machine-learning diet quality score (DQS) and examined the performance of DQS in combination with the Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI2015), Mediterranean Diet Score (MED), Alternative Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI) and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension score (DASH score). The data used in this study were from the 2011–2012 to 2017–2018 cycles of the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Participants aged above 20 self-reported their food intake and information on relevant covariates. We used an elastic-net penalty regression model to select important food features and used a generalized linear regression model to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs after controlling for age, sex, and other relevant covariates. Results: A total of 16756 participants were included in the analysis. DQS was significantly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) risk after adjusting for one of the other common diet scores. The ORs for DQS combined with the HEI2015, MED, AHEI, and DASH scores were all approximately 0.900, with p values smaller than 0.05. The OR for DQS in the full score model including all other scores was 0.905 (95% CI, 0.828–0.989, p=0.028). Only marginal associations were found between DQS and other CVDs after adjusting for other diet scores. Conclusions: Based on data from four continuous cycles of the NHANES, higher DQS was found to be consistently associated with a lower risk of CAD. The DQS captured unique predictive information independent of the existing diet scores and thus can be used as a complementary scoring system to further improve dietary recommendations for CAD patients.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is often accompanied by serious complications, including bone metabolic diseases, liver diseases, and kidney diseases, which are affected by the course of disease, sex, age and individual differences and cannot be a unified treatment paradigm. Therefore, for the in-depth analysis of clinical data, looking for the correlation of type 2 diabetes complication data has important guiding significance for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and its complications. In this paper, multiple linear regression models were established based on the clinical data of type 2 diabetes patients in Anhui Province. Our results suggest that the main factors affecting bone complications of type 2 diabetes include body shape indexes, creatinine, uric acid, triglycerides and blood pressure. Interestingly, the bone mineral density of lumbar vertebrae in patients with type 2 diabetes was increased, suggesting that there was a risk of lumbar hyperosteogeny.

Humans flexibly adjust their reliance on model-free (habitual) and model-based (goal-directed) strategies according to cost‒benefit trade-offs, the ability of which is known as metacontrol. Recent studies have suggested that older adults show reduced flexibility in metacontrol. However, whether the metacontrol deficit in aging is due to cognitive or motivational factors remains ambiguous. The present study investigated this issue using pupillometry recording and a sequential decision-making task with varied task structures and reward stakes. Our results revealed that older adults performed less model-based control and less flexibility when the reward stake level changed, consistent with previous studies. However, pupillometry analysis indicated that older adults showed comparable sensitivity to the reward stake. Older adults varied in task structure knowledge according to their oral reports, and the subgroup with good structural knowledge exerted a similar pattern to younger adults. Computational simulation verified that poor structure knowledge representation impaired metacontrol. These results suggest that the inflexible metacontrol in the elderly population might not be due to motivational factors but rather poor structure knowledge.

This paper proposes an automated productive caste termite trap device based on a hybrid energy system and the Internet of Things called Flying Trap (Fly-T). This tool is equipped with ultraviolet light with a frequency of 365 nm which is used to attract termites to enter and trap into Fly-T storage tank until they die. Dead termites will be detected by an ultrasonic sensor with a certain limit value then the relay cuts off electric current so that the light turns off and the tank door automatically opens to expel dead termites. The automatic control system on Fly-T is built using the NodeMCU ESP32 microcontroller to optimize the performance of sensors, relays, servo, and wifi connections in recording data to an IoT-based cloud database. The Fly-T is also controlled by command via a Telegram Bot equipped with solar panels and a windmill turbine generator. The results show that Fly-T can run automatically, easily, and save time efficiently, and is environmentally friendly.
