Authors: Siagian Ruben Cornelius , Alfaris Lulut , Nasution Budiman , Nasution Habibi Azka
Published: January 2024

This analysis examines the relationship between the number of solar flares and the number of sunspots in 2005 using 11 observations in months 2 to 12. The number of solar currents measures the intensity of the radiation emitted by the Sun, while the number of sunspots measures the number of sunspots on the surface of the Sun. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between Solar Current Rate and Number of Sunspots. The results of the analysis show that the coefficient of the Amount of Solar Current is 1.1239 with a significant t value of 2.510 (probability that there is no effect on the Number of Sunspots is 3.33%). The linear regression model has good results with an F-statistic value of 6.301 and a p-value of 0.0333, with an R-squared value of 0.4118 which indicates that 41.18% of the variation in the number of sunspots is influenced by variations in the amount of solar currents. The corrected R-squared value is 0.3464 indicating that there are still variations in the number of sunspots that cannot be explained by variations in the number of solar currents. ARIMA analysis results show an MA coefficient of 0.7351 with an average value of 45.9542 and a s.e value of 0.2590 and 6.1550 respectively. The AIC, AICc, and BIC values are 92.97, 96.4, and 94.16. The error results in the training set show that the ME value is 0.2615561, the RMSE value is 12.16969, the MAE value is 9.03306, the MPE value is -15.14689, the MAPE value is 30.42013, and the MASE value is 0.674109. The ACF1 value in the exercise set is 0.0808969.

Philosophy and science are human efforts to understand the concepts and methods of a scientific discipline. Changing times and developments have ushered in a philosophy of configuration by showing how the "tree of knowledge" thrives and branches out from the respective disciplines. This study aims to examine philosophy and science and their relevance in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. This research method uses the hermeneutic method in explaining the reality that occurs with elements of interpretation and description. The results of the research can be described that the study of the relationship between philosophy and science has developed so rapidly. Philosophy and science are indispensable in the development of science and technology which is marked by sharpening of scientific specialization, because by studying philosophy scientists are expected to be aware of its limitations so as not to get caught up in intellectual arrogance. It is impossible to fight against the discourse on the development of science and technology, but rather to reduce the negative impact of technology itself. In the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 and Society 5.0, community groups are heterogeneous, so that very complex problems arise related to technological developments and can change the mindset of human life to patterns of life that are more sophisticated with the power of technology. like robots and the internet. Thus, science which is used as an axiological milestone in directing and controlling the development of science and technology in a positive way for the benefit of humanity and its environment is philosophy and science.

Authors: Finnesia Arisca
Published: January 2024

Background of the study: Liver injury or damage to liver function, also known as hepatotoxicity, can occur due to various reasons, including chemical substances. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is one such chemical that can cause liver damage if consumed in large amounts for a prolonged period. This study aimed to determine the effect of green Robusta Coffee extract on the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels of white mice induced with MSG. Material and methods: This research study used 24 male white mice (Rattus norvegicus) divided into three groups. The negative control group (C-) was given nothing, the positive control group (C+) was given MSG at a dosage of 5 mg/g/day, and the experimental group (E) was given MSG at a dosage of 5 mg/g/day and green Robusta Coffee extract at a dosage of 250 mg/kg/day for 14 days. Results: On the 15th day, blood was drawn from all three groups to measure ALT levels. The ALT levels were then analyzed using SPSS statistics. The study found a significant increase in ALT levels in the C+ group compared to the C- group (P<0.05). However, there was no significant increase or decrease in ALT levels between the experimental group (E) and the C- and C+ groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The study concluded that MSG induction of 5 mg/g/day for 14 days significantly increased the ALT levels of white mice. However, giving green Robusta Coffee (Coffea canephora) extract at a dosage of 250 mg/kg/day did not have a significant effect on the increased ALT enzyme levels of white mice induced with MSG at a dosage of 5 mg/g/day for 14 days.

Tibial pilon fractures are rare and serious fractures, given their complexity and therapeutic difficulty. Closed-focus osteosynthesis is an interesting alternative for treating these fractures. In order to assess the clinical and radiological results of treating tibial pilon fractures with closed-focus osteosynthesis, we conducted a retrospective descriptive study of a series of 80 tibial pilon fractures treated at the Traumatology-Orthopedics Department A4 of CHU Ibn Rochd in Casablanca, over a period from January 2017 to December 2022. The mean age in our study was 42.5 years, with a M/F sex ratio equal to 3. Etiological circumstances were dominated by high-energy mechanisms, including falls from a high place in 43% and MVAs in 42% of cases. Clinical diagnosis was guided in 100% of cases by functional impotence, pain and localized swelling. We performed an ankle radiograph in front and side views, complemented by a CT scan, in all our patients to confirm the diagnosis and classify the different fracture types. Surgical treatment with closed-focus osteosynthesis was performed by combined treatment in 50% of cases; external fixator in 20% of cases; and minimally invasive treatment under arthroscopy in 30% of cases. According to CAFFINIERE criteria, functional and radiological results were good and satisfactory in 80.57% of cases, and poor in 19.43%. Complications included algodystrophy in 28.75% of cases, infection in 10%, joint stiffness in 13.75%, pseudarthrosis in 11.25%, arthrosis in 11.25% and callus in 7.5%. Finally, analysis of our results showed that the majority of our patients treated with closed-focus osteosynthesis had good functional, clinical and radiological results, demonstrating the effectiveness of this surgical method in tibial pilon fractures.

The aim of the study: was to search for differences in the EEG dynamics during the treatment of patients with polymorphic and monomorphic subtypes of prolonged/chronic manic-delusional states (PMDS). Patients and methods: two groups of female patients aged 18–45 with polymorphic (42 patients) and monomorphic (34 patients) subtypes of PMDS were identifed. In all patients, before and after the course of treatment, a multichannel resting EEG was recorded with the measurement of absolute spectral power in narrow frequency sub-bands. A comparative analysis of quantitative EEG spectral parameters was carried out. Intragroup differences in mean EEG spectral power values before and after treatment were identifed using nonparametric statistical criteria. Methods: clinical-psychopathological, psychometric, neurophysiological, statistical. Results: in the group of patients with polymorphic PMDS, compared to the group of patients with monomorphic PMDS, the EEG slowdown under the influence of treatment was significantly stronger and more generalized (in the form of an increase in the spectral power of the EEG in the delta, theta 1, theta 2 and alpha 1 frequency sub-bands), reflecting a greater strengthening of neurophysiological processes of inhibition, which is associated with an improvement in the clinical condition of patients, especially in relation to manic symptoms. Conclusion: the described differences in the functional organization of brain activity may mediate the features of the clinical picture and therapeutic dynamics of patients with polymorphic and monomorphic subtypes of PMDS.
3 • Failed Correspondence: The Vow of Obedience
Authors: Zampol D’Ortia Linda
Published: January 2024

This chapter considers the importance of obedience in the Society of Jesus, and the strategies implemented to maintain it over long distances, such as between Europe and Asia. Believing his fellow missionaries were disobeying him, Cabral initially articulated his own method of control of the Japanese mission through visitations; however, he purported that only the creation of a special residence (whose exact nature changed often) could really rein in wayward missionaries, both European and Japanese ones. This chapter analyses Cabral’s endeavours to practice (and demonstrate) obedience towards his own superiors and how this attitude of his, together with a lack of response from Europe, led to a standstill of all possible reforms.

Introduction: Mobile-based self-care applications can help patients with hepatitis increase their awareness about various aspects of the disease. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a self-care mobile app for viral hepatitis.Material and Methods: This study was conducted in three steps.  In the first step, a questionnaire containing 24 topics in four sections was used to determine the potential app contents. In the second step, the app was developed using the Android Studio 3 development environment and Kotlin programming language. In the third step, the quality of the app was evaluated using mobile app rating scale (MARS). The Questionnaire for User Interface Satisfaction (QUIS) was used to evaluate user satisfaction.Results: A high priority was given to the following contents of the medical and health information section; describing ways of transmitting hepatitis (81.7%), dealing with high-risk behaviors (80.6%), and methods of preventing hepatitis (79.6%). The MARS and QUIS evaluations’ results showed that the quality of the app and the user satisfaction with it were at a good level.Conclusion: Since according to the participants, the topics related to the “medical and health information” section were the most important contents, we recommend addressing this part in designing other self-care apps.

A Review of Using Deep Learning Technology in the Built Environment of Disaster Management Phases
Authors: SÜNBÜL Gizem , SOYLUK Asena
Published: January 2024

Türkiye is a country in the Alpine-Himalayan earthquake zone and needs an effective disaster management plan, with its geography experiencing severe seismic activities. In this respect, natural disaster risks can be reduced by using developing artificial intelligence technology and deep learning applications in the mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery phases that constitute the disaster management plan. This study examines deep learning models, application areas, deep learning layers and libraries used, and how deep learning can be used in the four stages of disaster management through study examples in the literature. The study aims to examine the use of deep learning in architecture and disaster management phases based on the earthquake factor as a result of the literature review. As a result, when studies on deep learning are examined, disaster management studies closely related to the discipline of architecture are mainly in the response phase. However, the discipline of architecture plays an important role at every stage of disaster management. In this respect, as holistic studies and applications related to deep learning, architectural science, and effective disaster management increase, the loss of life and property due to disasters, especially earthquakes, will decrease. The study carried out is thought to be an important guide for future research.

Authors: ŞAHİN Şükran , RESNE OKAN Yağmur , YILDIZ Nuriye Ebru
Published: January 2024

This study focuses on the potential of accessible open and green areas (OGAs) to serve as gathering spaces and temporary shelters during emergency response to disasters such as flood, earthquake, storm, terrorism, battle, etc. Specifically, the city of Lefkoşa in Northern Cyprus (TRNC) is studied in this context. A systematically constructed approach is employed, starting with the identification of the Dense Urban Core (DUC) within an 800 m access zone of OGAs and with a population density of more than 260 ha based on the Lefkoşa Urban Development Plan (LUDP). The study then determines the OGA requirements for gathering and temporary shelters during and after disasters, based on the floor area ratio, maximum building footprint ratio and projected population density given by LUDP. As a result of the study, the OGA requirements within the scope of the DUC were calculated to be minimum of 92 ha for gathering places, and minimum of 687 ha for temporary shelters. In this context, the city's disaster resilience index of the city is determined respectively to be 0.46 and 0.10. It is expected that this study will contribute to the integration of urban OGA development plans with disaster management efforts.
