Authors: Dinçol Özgür Sinem , Temel Senar
Published: August 2021

This study aims to examine the scientific epistemological beliefs of university students and to analyze their views on the nature of science on the basis of these beliefs. A total of 161 university students from a public university participated voluntarily in the study. The Scientific Epistemological Beliefs Survey and The Nature of Science View Scale (NOSVS) were used as the data collection tools. The data analysis revealed that 88.2% of the students hold a traditional conception of science and 11.8% of them have a non-traditional conception of science. Also, the analysis of their nature of science views showed that 49.7% of them have a contemporary, while 50.3% have a transitional view of the nature of science. In addition, it was found that factor and total scores of students' nature of science views have a statically significant difference, depending on their traditional and non-traditional conception of science. This finding can be interpreted as a significant relationship between scientific epistemological beliefs and views about the nature of science.

Published: August 2021

Code is one of the rivers influenced by a large number of waste-generating human activities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Despite continued discharges of pollution loads from anthropogenic waste, the heavy metal pollution index (HPI)”a water quality index assessing heavy metal ions present in a body of water”remains nationally underutilized. The research was intended to 1) analyze the river water quality based on metal and nonmetal parameters typical of domestic waste, 2) calculate HPI using either and both parameters, and 3) evaluate the resultant water quality status. The water quality data were the products of temporal river monitoring conducted by the Forestry and Environmental Office for Yogyakarta. The heavy metal parameters included Fe, Cu, Cd, Cr, and Pb, while the nonmetal parameters were BOD, COD, TSS, ammonia, oil and grease, and total coliforms. Each parameter value was compared with the water quality standard issued in Governor Regulation No. 20/2008.  The results showed that the HPI composite of heavy metal parameters classified the river water quality as excellent (2.52), whereas the one representing nonmetal parameters indicated bad quality (55.04). Nevertheless, based on the HPI composed of all parameters, the quality fell into the category excellent (3.94). Consequently, when all metal and nonmetal parameters are combined into the HPI calculation, the river shows a better water quality status.Keywords: HPI (Heavy Metal Pollution Index) water quality, domestic waste, heavy metal, Yogyakarta

Published: August 2021

The world is facing the era of industrial revolution 4.0, where everything is connected to machines. In realizing human resources that are ready for the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, the government makes several efforts through education. Character is one of the cornerstones of the progress of a nation. Character is not inherited from birth but needs to be nurtured to grow into the nation's character. The character can be formed through school education in geography subjects. Learning geography will introduce students to the area where they are located. Thus, geography can develop religious, nationalist, independent, cooperative, and integrity characters who love the homeland. This study aims to determine the character of students in the development of character-based learning media. This research was conducted at the Geography MGMP of SMA in Langsa City and East Aceh Regency, totaling 27 teachers. Data collection techniques are interviews and information on the types of learning media on geography material in high School and the characters needed to study geography. The research results are (1) Teachers choose 83% of high school geography materials that require video as a learning medium. Videos are considered capable of providing explanations in the form of images with movement and sound. Thus, videos can help students understand geography material; (2) Interactive multimedia is a suitable medium to foster independent character in students. This media is interactive where the media will present material or information according to what students want; therefore, teachers must develop interactive multimedia for their students; (3) Teachers have the same difficulty in developing geography learning media. The difficulty is the lack of skills in the use of IT technology.Keywords: Learning Media, Character Education, Geography Education, Digital Revolution

The spread of dengue fever in Indonesia has become a major health problem. Spatial modeling for the distribution of dengue fever vulnerability is an important step to support the planning and mitigation of dengue fever in Indonesia. This study aims to assess and compare the capability of two machine learning algorithms to create a spatial model of dengue fever vulnerability. The research was conducted in Baubau City, Southeast Sulawesi Province by taking 129 cases that occurred from 2015 to February 2016. In this study, the model was created using R software and machine learning algorithms including support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF). The six modeling variables involved include land use/cover, BLFEI, NDVI, LST, rainfall and humidity extracted from Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS imagery as well as BMKG (Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency of Indonesia) and BWS climate data. The model's capability was assessed using the Area Under Curve-Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUC-ROC) curve. The results of the research show that both algorithms provide excellent model accuracy with AUC values of 1 for SVM and 0.997 for RF with SVM as the best algorithm for modeling dengue fever in Baubau City.Keywords: Machine Learning, Vulnerability, Dengue Fever, Landsat 8 Image

Published: August 2021

Indonesia, which is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, has at least 100 active volcanoes that are spread among more than 17,000 islands. Several active volcanoes are located on small islands, so they require a greater effort in relation to disaster management, especially those related to volcano activities. However, research on the identification of small volcanic islands has not been widely carried out in Indonesia. This study tries to fill the gap using a geomorphological aspect approach, which consists of morphology, morphogenesis, morphochronology, and morphoaransement, to identify small volcanic islands in North Maluku Province. Literature review and spatial data collection were carried out to determine the parameters used in the identification of small volcanic islands. Based on the literature review, this study uses 5 (five) parameters, namely the island area, the type of material, the location / morphoaransement, the pattern of river flow, and the features of the landforms which include the presence of volcanic landform (morphochronology), slope, and morphology. Based on the spatial analysis using these 5 parameters, information is obtained that there are at least 6 of the 17 islands that meet the criteria to be called small volcanic islands in North Maluku. Data on small volcanic islands and their characteristics are important information to educate the public and improve preparedness.Keywords: morphology, morphogenesis, morphochronology, morphoaransement, small volcanic islands

Published: August 2021

Russian Tsar Peter Alekseevich, who went down in history as a reformer and the first Russian emperor, in his activities to transform the patriarchal Moscow kingdom into the modern Russian Empire affected almost all spheres of state activity. He did not lose his attention and forest legislation. According to the authors of the article, Peter created the foundations of forest legislation, the main feature of which was the protection of state interest to the detriment of the private. Thus, the authors of the article believe, that Peter’s etatist views were clearly manifested in his forest legislation. At the same time, it should be noted that when developing forest laws, Peter was forced to take into account tradition and apply innovations to established customs. According to the authors, this explains the contradiction of Peter's forest legislation. At the same time, the authors believe that Peter was forced to solve problems that can be called environmental, defending state interest in forest management.

Published: August 2021

Bu çalışmanın amacı; implant yuvasının preparasyonunda düşük devirli irrigasyonsuz frezlemenin implant etrafındaki marjinal kemik kaybına ve implantların kaybedilme oranına etkilerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Çalışmaya parsiyel ve total dişsizliğe sahip toplam 23 hasta dahil edildi. Çalışma grubundaki 44 implantın frezlemesi 50rpm düşük devirli irrigasyonsuz şekilde yapılırken, kontrol grubundaki 30 implantın frezlemesi 600rpm devirli ve irrigasyonlu bir şekilde yapıldı. Marjinal kemik seviyelerini belirlemek için tüm implantlardan, yerleştirildikten hemen sonra ve postoperatif 3. ayda periapikal radyografiler alındı. Ayrıca, çalışmada implantların kaybedilme oranı, yerleştirme tork değerleri, implant yerleştirilen bölgedeki kemik kalitesi, frezleme ve toplam ameliyat süreleri kaydedildi. Bu çalışmada; düşük devirli irrigasyonsuz frezleme (DDİF) ile standart frezleme (SF) protokolü arasında mesial, distal ve ortalama marjinal kemik kaybı düzeyleri açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık görülmedi (p>0.05). İmplantların kaybedilme oranları da gruplar arasında benzerdi (p>0.05). Ayrıca, implant yerleştirme tork değerleri, frezleme ve toplam ameliyat sürelerinde de gruplar arasında farklılık gözlenmedi (p>0.05). Bu çalışmanın bulguları, DDİF’nin cerrahi sonrası iyileşme dönemindeki marjinal kemik kaybı, implant kaybı ve başlangıç tork değerlerine etkilerinin SF ile benzer olduğunu işaret etmektedir. Ancak, tekniğin güvenilirliği açısından daha ileri ve uzun hasta takipli çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Authors: Rosa-Jimenez Carlos , Jaime-Segura Cristina
Published: August 2021

The COVID-19 lockdown period has highlighted the ability of housing to accommodate a comprehensive programme typical of the city and its public space. Housing units of under 60 m2 and in blocks of flats are the more vulnerable, as they have a higher percentage of non-community open spaces. That problem was analysed using a methodology based on psychological, urban planning and architectural indicators applied to two coastal cities in the Mediterranean area of southern Spain. The results highlight three aspects in this type of dwelling: the need to consider the orientation of the housing to improve the quality of indoor and outdoor space; the need in public housing policies for a greater number of rooms to facilitate remote working; and finally, the importance of functional terraces overlooking green areas.

Authors: Nakamura Fumihiko , Kato Hiroki , Ozeki Michio , Matsuo Masayuki
Published: August 2021

Objectives:

This study aimed to evaluate the CT and MRI findings of focal splenic lesions and ascites in generalized lymphatic anomaly (GLA), kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA), and Gorham-Stout disease (GSD).

Material and Methods:

Twenty-three patients (10 with GLA, 5 with KLA, and 8 with GSD) who underwent abdominal CT and/or MRI before treatment were included in this study, and their imaging findings were retrospectively evaluated.

Results:

Focal splenic lesions were observed in nine patients; these lesions were observed frequently in GLA (n = 5; 50%) or KLA (n = 3; 60%) compared with GSD (n = 1; 13%); however, no significant differences were found between the three groups (P = 0.190). On CT images among eight patients (4 with GLA, 3 with KLA, and 1 with GSD) with focal splenic lesions who underwent CT, the number of focal splenic lesions per patient ranged from 2 to 189 (mean, 42) and the maximum diameter of focal splenic lesions ranged from 2 to 39 mm (mean, 8 mm), while more than 30 focal splenic lesions per patient were observed in 2 (50%) GLA and focal splenic lesions with maximum diameters of ≥10 mm were observed in 4 (100%) GLA but not in KLA or GSD. Ascites was observed in five patients; significant differences were observed among KLA (n = 4; 80%), GLA (n = 1; 10%), and GSD (n = 0; 0%) (P < 0.01). Ascites was significantly more frequent in KLA than in GSD (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

More than 30 focal splenic lesions per patient and/or focal splenic lesions with maximum diameters of ≥10 mm were observed only in GLA. Focal splenic lesions tended to be less frequent in GSD, whereas ascites tended to be frequent in KLA.
Coagulation changes in COVID-19 infection and its implication in management
Authors: Ghosh Kanjaksha
Published: August 2021

COVID-19 infection causes substantial changes in blood coagulation. Understanding this process helps management of the patient with least injury through therapeutic misadventurism. At the heart of the disease process, there is widespread endothelial and pulmonary alveolar epithelial cell damage related to the entry and proliferation of the virus and subsequent cellular response to virus invasion. The virus directly triggers fibrinolytic system which positively increase cellular viral load, cytokine generation, exudation in the alveoli, and both intravascular and extravascular blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. The major coagulation catastrophe comes from immunocoagulation and contribution by specific and non-specific cells (lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils) augmenting the process. Hypoxia also contributes and plays an independent role. Platelet activation, complement activation, and vasculitis or vasculitis-mimics take part in the process. Some of these mechanisms are well established and some are yet to be worked out. COVID-19 infection unequivocally points out the great role of cellular activation and cytokines play in coagulation process; indicates classical anticoagulants, antiplatelets, statins, complement inhibitors, and steroids in managing this infection. The author concentrates on the pathobiology of blood coagulation with perspectives on how to manage each of these steps.

Authors: Srivastava Ankit , Sharan Sarangpani
Published: August 2021

Sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) is slow growing, but the most aggressive and lethal eyelid malignancy. Histologically, SGC can be classified based on cell types, cytoarchitecture, and growth patterns. A previously published article illustrates the molecular genetic framework stating the drivers of sebaceous carcinoma. Today, every effort has been made to treat and eradicate ocular disease, therefore, early diagnosis and appropriate management are required to use a multimodal approach that can reduce the mortality rate in patients with SGC. Treatment with the conventional technique has improved visual and systemic prognosis, however, therapeutic target to treat cancer is a much better option than other modalities. Thus, new insight into the natural and molecular-oriented treatment modalities may lead to the development of new effective strategies, along with the conventional method.

Published: August 2021

Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a frequent and intractable complication of diabetes. Reduction in heart rate variability (HRV) is the first sign of CAN in its subclinical stage. Autonomic imbalance and hyperglycaemia in diabetes are associated with cardiovascular structural and functional modifications, which lead to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The study was undertaken to assess the changes in HRV and left ventricular mass in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. The case-control study was conducted on 78 T2DM subjects and 78 age & sex-matched healthy controls. CAN be assessed by frequency and time-domain parameters of HRV and LVH was measured using various ECG criteria including Cornell voltage, Cornell product, Sokolow-Lyon voltage, and Romhilt-Estes point score. All the frequency and time-domain parameters of HRV except resting heart rate, normalized LF, and LF/HF ratio were significantly reduced in T2DM patients compared to healthy controls. The prevalence of ECG-LVH was 25.7% using any single criteria and 12.2% with all the criteria. The highest prevalence (24.3%) was noted with Cornell product and Sokolow-Lyon voltage criteria, followed by Romhilt-Estes point score (17.6%) and Cornell voltage criteria (16.2%). Reduction in overall HRV with less high-frequency power and high LF/HF ratio suggests parasympathetic dysfunction and sympathetic predominance. A significant LVH was noted with ECG-based electric criteria in T2DM patients. The study suggests that T2DM patients should be subjected to diagnostic HRV and ECG to identify the early occurrence of CAN and LVH.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to fill current information cavities in the present material on the determinants of radicalization. The radicalization has badly affected good governance. Education, health, socio-economic and political system are major components of good governance. This research paper examines the emerging trends of Jihad, Extremism and Radicalization in Pakistan.

Design/Methodology/Approach: A survey was conducted a total of 4200 respondents across the country. There was no response from 200 persons and received the response of 4000 respondents, with 2800 people (70 percent) urban and 1200 respondents (30 percent) from rural area. The figure of respondents from each of the four provinces of Pakistan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, Balochistan, and Sindh, ), Gilgit Baltistan, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK),entities reveals the percentage of population of each area vis-à-vis the total population of the country.

Findings: The results revealed that the causes of radicalization and extremism are as varied as they are abundant. The study of radicalization, Jihad and extremism in both contexts has sought to find out the causes of radicalization. It is concluded that the root causes of the Islamic militancy and religious radicalization in Pakistan are generally religious, political, ideological, economic, and social in nature.

Implications/Originality/Value: This research paper gives a comprehensive viewpoint and analysis amongst religion, radicalization, governance, extremism, politics, Islamic militancy, sectarianism, conflict and identity. The major root causes of militancy and radicalization were traced out which will be helpful to overcome Islamic militancy, extremism, radicalization and sectarianism in Pakistan.

Physics for medical students is perceived as a sophisticated subject. The sophistication, however, does not lie in the physics concepts themselves or students’ comprehension of the subject, but it is more often related to the ineffectiveness of techniques applied to teach the subject. This study investigates the effect of the Jigsaw technique, a highly structured form of cooperative learning, on the academic achievement of first-year medical students in learning physics. A quasi-experimental research approach with a pretest-posttest design was employed to conduct the study with a purposive randomly selected sample of fifty students made up of twenty-five students in the control group and twenty-five students in the experimental group. The control group was taught using traditional lectures, while the experimental group was taught using the Jigsaw technique which involved students working actively to map the concepts of nuclear radiation in diagnosis and therapy. A comprehensive statistical analysis, which included a Shapiro’s test, paired sample t-test, independent sample t-test, average gain factor, and size effect calculations, was used to test the research hypotheses. The findings of this study showed that there was a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) between the post-test scores of students exposed to the Jigsaw cooperative learning technique and those who were not. In addition, it was deduced by the educator (first author) that the students were actively engaged with the topic material, took more responsibility for their performance in the activity, learned how to map the radiation physics concepts, and explored a new learning environment that enabled them to use their higher-order thinking skills to solve medical physics problems.
