Authors: Fadly Alvriza Mohammed , Supiarza Hery , Pawitan Zakiah , Alfathadiningrat Danendra
Published: August 2024

Animasi tradisional pada industri film Hollywood dahulu memiliki proses kreatif yang kompleks karena keterbatasan teknologi dan kerap menyelaraskan rangkaian gambar dengan musik. Istilah proses ini mengacu pada ‘mickey-mousing’, yakni menyinkronkan setiap aksi atau gerakan dengan lantunan musik. Teknik mickey-mousing memiliki kasus dimana musik terlebih dahulu ada sehingga visual menyesuaikan dengan bagian-bagian musik yang dipilih. Tata cara ini dilakukan dengan membuat sebuah bar sheet sebagai panduan bagi animator dan komponis untuk menandakan frame dan musik yang sinkronik. Sebagai contoh, hal ini dapat dilihat pada film animasi Rhapsody Rabbit dari serial Merrie Melodies milik Warner Bros. Teknik mickey-mousing selain menyinkronkan dapat menyelaraskan pula irama antara visual dan bunyi. Oleh karena itu, Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji perihal teknis penciptaan teknik mickey-mousing untuk menyelaraskan irama film animasi Rhapsody Rabbit. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan analisis konten. Sumber data primer yakni film animasi Rhapsody Rabbit dan partitur lagu The Hungarian Rhapsody no.2 karya Franz Liszt, sumber data sekunder didapatkan melalui studi literatur berupa tulisan ilmiah yang memiliki topik relevan dengan penelitian ini. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara, dan studi dokumentasi dan analisis data dilakukan menggunakan metode analisis konten Klaus Krippendorf yang terbagi menjadi 6 tahapan. Hasil yang ditemukan adalah teknik mickey-mousing menyelaraskan irama denga cara mengatur, mengkoordinasi, dan menggambar pose kunci pada frame tertentu yang sinkronik bersamaan musik. Prinsip-prinsip animasi straight ahead and pose to pose dan timing and spacing berperan penting dalam menepatkan suatu unsur dari komposisi dengan sketsa animasi. Implikasi penelitian ini dapat menjadi panduan bagi animator, filmmaker, dan komponis film.

Authors: Pushpo Faria Haque , Uddin Md. Kutub
Published: August 2024

Objective: ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 are widely accepted international standards worldwide for continual improvement in terms of quality and environmental impact respectively. This study aims to predict the diffusion of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications in Bangladesh from 2022 to 2030.
 
Theoretical Framework: This study draws on the theory of diffusion to understand how ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications spread in Bangladesh. Complementarily, the application of Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models provides a rigorous methodological approach to forecast the future adoption trajectories of these standards in Bangladesh from 2022 to 2030. This framework contributes to a comprehensive understanding and predictive analysis of the diffusion dynamics of quality and environmental management systems within the region.
 
Method: Auto‐Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) approach has been applied to choose the best fit model. The ISO survey of certifications was considered as main source of data.
 
Results and Discussion: The analysis revealed that, ARIMA (1, 0, 1) and ARIMA (2,1,0) are the best fitted models for ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 respectively in predicting the certification in Bangladesh. The forecasted number of certification for the year 2030 is obtained as 833 for ISO 9001 and 494 for ISO 14001 in Bangladesh. The finding of the study concludes wide scope of diffusion in future.
 
Research Implications: The study possesses the practical and theoretical implications, providing insights into quality and environmental management system diffusion dynamics, societal and organizational contexts in Bangladesh.
 
Originality/Value: This study will contribute to enrich existing literature and guide policy makers in policy formulation. This study will also encourage researchers for further analysis in different context.
IgE and non-IgE food allergy: A review of immunological mechanisms
Authors: Bellanti Joseph A.
Published: August 2024

Background: Food allergic (FA) conditions have been classified as immunoglobulin E (IgE) and non-IgE‐mediated reactions that affect as many as 8% of young children and 2% of adults in Western countries, and their prevalence seems to be rising. Although the immunologic
basis of IgE-mediated FA is well established, the mechanisms that govern non-IgE‐mediated FA are not well understood and are marked by a paucity of comprehensive insights. Objective: The purpose of the present report is to examine the current classification and epidemiology
of non-IgE‐mediated FA, the latest immunologic mechanisms that underlie the three most commonly cited non-IgE FA conditions, viz., eosinophilic esophagitis, food protein-induced enterocolitis, and food protein‐induced allergic proctocolitis, and explore what allergist/immunologists
in practice should be aware of with regard to the condition. Methods: An extensive research was conducted in medical literature data bases by applying terms such as FA, non-IgE allergy, tolerance, unresponsiveness, cytokines, CD4+ T helper cell pathways, and
key cytokine pathways involved in FA. Results: Current evidence now supports the view that immune dysregulation and cytokine-induced inflammation are the fundamental bases for both IgE- and non-IgE‐mediated FA. The existing non-IgE‐related FA literature is
mostly characterized by a relative dearth of mechanistic information in contrast to IgE-mediated FA, in which the immunologic underpinnings as a T helper type 2 directed entity are well established. Although the need for future methodologic research and adherence to rigorous scientific protocols
is essential, it is also necessary to acknowledge past contributions that have given much to our understanding of the condition. In the present report, a novel signature cytokine-based classification of IgE-mediated and non-IgE‐mediated allergy is proposed that may offer a novel template
for future research in the field of non-IgE‐mediated FA. Conclusion: The present report provides an overview of the current classification and frequency of IgE‐ and non-IgE‐mediated FAs, and offers insights and potential solutions to address lingering
questions, particularly when concerning the latest immunologic mechanisms that underlie the pathogenesis of non-IgE-mediated FA. Although some progress has been made in recent years toward making diagnostic and treatment options available for these conditions, there still remain many lingering
questions and concerns to be addressed, which can be fully understood by future research.
Identifying thresholds of reaction for different foods
Authors: Lieberman Jay Adam
Published: August 2024

Current food allergy management universally treats all patients with food allergy as being at risk for anaphylaxis (with the exception perhaps of pollen food allergy syndrome). Thus, patients are told to avoid the allergenic food in all potentially allergic forms and amounts. However,
research over the past 2 decades has shown that many patients will tolerate small amounts of the allergen without any allergic reaction. Thus, if one were able to identify the threshold of reactivity, this could change management. At the population level, establishing levels at which the vast
majority of patients (e.g., 95%) do not react could have public health ramifications, such as altering labeling laws. At the individual patient level, personal threshold levels could determine avoidance strategies, affect quality of life, and alter treatment decisions, e.g., oral immunotherapy
starting doses. In this review, threshold data for various allergens and their potential effect on the management of the patient with food allergy are examined.
A diagnostic approach to IgE-mediated food allergy: A practical algorithm
Authors: Wasserman Richard L.
Published: August 2024

A food reaction history is the basis of food allergy diagnoses. Several levels of food allergy diagnostic testing can confirm or refute the presence of food allergy. The choice of food allergy testing modality should be informed by the reaction history and determined by the testing
goals. Testing modalities include skin-prick testing, in vitro specific immunoglobulin E testing, component-resolved testing, epitope threshold testing, and basophil activation testing. The goal of food allergy testing may be merely to confirm the diagnosis of food allergy or may be used to
guide passive (avoidance) or active (allergen immunotherapy) management. The most appropriate diagnostic path should consider testing predictive value, the goal of the evaluation, patient and family food allergy anxiety, and cost. Peanut allergy testing provides an algorithm for testing pathways.

Vulvovaginal Hygiene Practices Among Pregnant Ladies in Rural West Bengal: A Cross sectional Observational Study
Authors: Mitra Partha Sarathi , Ghosh Nupur , De Avik , Chatterjee Monalisa , Khatua Pamela , Ahmed Khwaja Alim
Published: August 2024

Vulvovaginitis is very common in pregnancy in our country. Lactobacilli are the normal vaginal microflora which maintains acidic vaginal pH. Lack of hygiene may lead to colonisation of coliforms resulting in vulvovaginitis which in turn may cause serious health problems for the mother and the new-born. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on pregnant women attending antenatal OPD of BMCH on every Wednesday between 1st July to 31st December, 2022 with a preformed questionnaire which dealt with different parameters to observe whether present pregnancy was complicated by any vulvovaginal ailments. Although they had little knowledge about vulvovaginal microbiota, pathogenesis and morbidity of vulvovaginitis during pregnancy, most had a practice of vulvovaginal cleaning with plain water and not commercial douching. Protection against vulvovaginal infection is particularly important for pregnant women as it increases the risk serious maternal and neonatal morbidities. Routine washing of the vulva with plain water is beneficial to maintain cleanliness and prevent vulvovaginal infection. Vulvar cleansing products does not treat infections rather disrupts normal vaginal microbiota thus promotes colonization of uropathogens. Prevention of vulvovaginal infection by simple hygiene maintenance can be achieved by educating antenatal mothers during their visits.

Authors: Soewono Arka Dwinanda , Gunawan Ezra Raditya , Darmawan Marten
Published: August 2024

The sliding bearing is an essential component in a centrifugal pump to withstand the loads and forces during the operation of the pump. Damage to the plain bearing component can decrease pump performance and cause further damage to other components. This research aims to analyze the damage that occurs to the bearing used in a boiler feedwater pump and determine the cause of the damage. The analysis was carried out by observing the forms of damage to the Babbitt layer on the bearing, identifying potential failures using the Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method, and establishing the root cause of the failure using the fishbone diagram. The analysis results show that the leading cause of damage to the bearing for the boiler feedwater pump is the bulk loss of the babbitt layer on the bearings.

Analysis of Community Behavior in Domestic Waste Management in The Sub-District Dom Aleixo, Nai Feto and Cristo Rei, Dili, Timor Leste
Authors: Noviyantin  , Belo Delia Ximenes A.
Published: August 2024

Dili is the capital of Timor-Leste which faces problems in managing and handling waste that has not been optimally carried out because waste is something discarded from the results of human and natural activities that do not have economic value. We have three locations in Dili for the research, Dom Aleixo, Nai Feto and Cristo Rei sub-districts. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between attitudes and knowledge of the community towards the waste management system in the sub-districts of Dom Aleixo, Nai Feto and Cristo Rei. This study used a descriptive quantitative method, namely data collection is done by interviewing in the form of a questionnaire using the Kobo toolbox application and the method used in sampling is random sampling. The sample size taken in this study was 332 respondents. Data analysis used the SPSS 25.0 application, namely, to analyze univariate and bivariate using the chi square test. Results reveal a noteworthy P-value of 1.084 (>0.05) from the chi-square test, indicating a significant relationship between community knowledge and waste management practices. Notably, the demographic profile shows that most respondents possess at least a high school education and fall within the 35-50 age range, suggesting a potential for high reasoning power concerning environmental conservation. However, despite adequate knowledge about waste characteristics, the findings show a disconnect in translating this knowledge into environmentally friendly practices. Furthermore, the study recorded a chi-square value of 2.57 (>0.05) concerning the relationship between community attitudes and waste management actions. This indicates that while there is a relationship, it does not translate into a positive environmental outcome, as many respondents engage in poor waste disposal practices. The study underscores the need for more effective educational and policy interventions to bridge the gap between environmental knowledge and action in Dili's waste management system.

Authors: Devoto Pablo Raul , Minghinelli Federico Eduardo , Mezzadri Juan José , Pipolo Derek Orlando , Lacsi Matias Facundo , Jalon Pablo Gustavo
Published: August 2024

Background:

We evaluated how and whether the pedicular morphometry of the C7 and T1 vertebrae might impact C7/T1 spinal fusions for patients from Argentina.

Methods:

Using computed tomography (CT) scans, we evaluated the pedicular morphology at the C7 and T1 levels.

Results:

Among 102 male and female CT studies, we observed significant differences in the height, width, length, and morphometry of the C7 and T1 pedicles.

Conclusion:

This study of C7/T1 CT scans revealed significant sex-based morphometric differences, particularly in pedicle height, width, and length at C7 and T1. Given the notable variability in vertebral characteristics observed in our study sample, we recommend preoperative planning with CT scans for C7/T1 fusion.
Less invasive bonnet bypass with subcutaneous tunneling method for common carotid artery occlusion – A technical note
Authors: Sakamoto Yusuke , Okamoto Sho , Saito Ryuta
Published: August 2024

Background:

Common carotid artery occlusion (CCAO) sometimes requires vascular reconstruction. Ipsilateral superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass is unsuitable due to insufficient blood flow to the external carotid artery. The bonnet bypass, one treatment option for CCAO, requires a long coronal incision and bone groove to prevent malposition and collapse of an interposition graft. However, this long incision might lead to skin complications and reduced collateral blood flow.

Methods:

A 60-year-old man who experienced recurrent ischemic stroke presented with the right internal carotid artery occlusion and left CCAO. The left STA was unavailable; however, both branches of his right STA were well-developed. Minimizing skin invasion was a priority because the patient had diabetes mellitus. We performed a right STA parietal branch – right MCA anastomosis, followed by a right STA frontal branch – left radial artery graft (RAG) – left MCA bonnet bypass using small intermittent skin incisions.

Results:

We drilled a bone groove extending across the entire length of the interposition graft through the small intermittent skin incisions. Furthermore, we applied a right STA-RAG end-to-side anastomosis instead of an endto-end anastomosis to preserve collateral skin anastomosis. Postoperatively, the bypass remained patent, and the patient was discharged without complications.

Conclusion:

The bonnet bypass is a potential treatment for CCAO, but the procedure is invasive. Our modified bonnet bypass method enables less invasive management, preventing collapse and malposition of the interposition graft and minimizing skin complications.
Correlation of head injury with ECG and echo changes
Authors: Ediga Pavan Kumar , Saradhi Mudumba Vijaya , Alugolu Rajesh , Maddury Jyotsna
Published: August 2024

Background:

Abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) findings can be seen in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. ECG may be an inexpensive tool to identify patients at high risk for developing cardiac dysfunction after TBI. This study aimed to examine abnormal ECG findings after isolated TBI and their association with true cardiac dysfunction based on echocardiogram.

Methods:

This prospective observational study examined the data from adult patients with isolated and non-operated TBI between 2020 and 2021. Patients aged <18 years and >65 years with and presence of extracranial injuries including orthopedic, chest, cardiac, abdominal, and pelvis, pre-existing cardiac disease, patients who have undergone cardiothoracic surgery, with inotrope drugs, acute hemorrhage, and brain death were excluded from the study.

Results:

We examined data from 100 patients with isolated TBI who underwent ECG and echocardiographic evaluation. ECG changes among 53% of mild cases showed a heart rate of 60–100/min, and 2% of cases showed more than 100/min. Prolonged pulse rate (PR) interval was observed in 8%, 11%, and 16% of mild, moderate, and severe cases, while no changes in PR interval were observed in 65% of cases. A prolonged QRS pattern was observed in 5%, 7%, and 15% of mild, moderate, and severe cases. A normal QRS complex was observed in 71% of cases. Prolonged QTc was observed in 3%, 10%, and 15% of cases in mild, moderate, and severe cases, respectively.

Conclusion:

Repolarization abnormalities, but not ischemic-like ECG changes, are associated with cardiac dysfunction after isolated TBI. 12-lead ECG may be an inexpensive screening tool to evaluate isolated TBI patients for cardiac dysfunction.

On constructing functional dependencies from non-enclosing interval data
Authors: Шарый С.П. , Звягин М.А.
Published: August 2024

Цель работы — представить простой и естественный подход к восстановлению функциональных зависимостей по данным с интервальной неопределенностью, которые не являются накрывающими. Решение задачи сводится к нахождению минимума выпуклой негладкой функции и может быть эффективно найдено с помощью методов негладкой оптимизации. Приведен численный пример, показывающий разительное отличие результата решения задачи восстановления линейной зависимости по накрывающей и ненакрывающей выборкам. Обсуждаются особенности практического применения новой методики.

The purpose of the paper is to present a simple and natural approach to reconstructing linear functional dependencies from non-enclosing data with interval uncertainty. It denotes interval data that is not guaranteed to contain the true values of the measured quantities, and therefore must be processed significantly differently than interval data that is certain to contain true values (enclosing). From the very definition of non-enclosing interval data it follows that they should be considered, rather, as integral objects without any internal structure, since it does not make sense for their point elements to require satisfaction of two-sided interval constraints, etc. For this reason, the construction of functional dependencies from non-enclosing interval data should be performed on the basis of approaches that find the best approximation of the intervals under consideration without resorting to their internal content. This can be done, for example, using the approximation theory. In the present study, solving the line fitting problem is reduced to finding the minimum deviation of the graph of the constructed function from the interval data boxes. The properties of the deviation functional for the most popular vector norms, which can be used to determine the distance between points, are investigated. It is shown that, under some conditions on the norm, the deviation functional is a convex polyhedral function. Its minimum can be efficiently found using existing non-smooth optimization methods. In particular, the paper presents a free program implemented by the authors for computing this minimum. In conclusion, the work provides numerical examples demonstrating the behavior of the new technique in various situations, as well as its comparison with methods for solving the problem of line fitting from enclosing interval data.

Published: August 2024

In this study, we disclose for the first time that formate salt can be used as a bifunctional reagent for the synthesis of phenol derivatives and as a CO source for carbonylative cross-coupling processes using the COware gas reactor under activation free conditions. Key to this success is the in-situ synthesis of aryl formate via an unprecedented nickel/organophotocatalyst system under blue LED irradiation. This developed system demonstrated high applicability to various aryl iodide substrates for synthesizing phenol derivatives. Moreover, the generated CO could be utilized in a range of carbonylative C-heteroatom and C-C processes. Notably, commercially available H13COONa salt can serve as a bifunctional reagent for both synthesizing phenols and generating 13CO.

Published: August 2024

Asymmetric 1,3-diynes are a common structure motif but remain challenging to prepare from terminal alkynes using Glaser-Hay reactions. Alternative approaches rely on halogenated alkynes, expensive catalysts, or large excess of one reagent to overcome these challenges. We report greener options to prepare asymmetric diynes using a Glaser-Hay type reaction with mixed copper catalysts. Oxygen is employed as a sustainable oxidant to avoid the need for stoichiometric copper. We also show halogenated and toxic solvents can be completely replaced with the sustainable solvent ethyl acetate. The choice of base plays an important role in the reaction as it serves to both deprotonate alkynes and as a ligand for copper.

Micro and nano-plastics (MNPs) have become a significant contamination concern in various ecosystems. In agriculture, they contaminate edible plants through different sources, such as irrigation and air deposition, threatening food safety and human health. It is uncertain whether post-harvest cleaning methods can effectively remove MNPs from the surface of edible plants. This study used confocal Raman spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to assess the efficacy of household and industrial postharvest washing methods in removing MNPs from vegetable leaf surfaces. In particular, the cleaning techniques included tap water washing, vegetable detergent washing, and sonication cleaning. The plastic particles tested included 42 µm polystyrene (PS), 6 µm polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and 61 nm PS. In evaluating cleaning methods to remove MNPs from basil leaves, the tap water washing method demonstrated high removal efficacy for 42 µm PS (93.1%) but lower efficacy for 6 µm PMMA (51.6%). Vegetable detergent was the most effective method for PMMA removal (73.3%). The sonication method exhibited the highest removal efficacy of 59.8% among the three washing methods for removing 61 nm PS. This is the first time that the efficacies of common washing methods to remove MNPs from fresh produce were evaluated and compared using confocal Raman spectroscopy and SERS. The research offers critical insights and approaches for assessing the removal efficacy of commonly used washing techniques in decontaminating MNPs from fresh produce. The findings highlight the need to develop more effective washing methods to enhance MNPs removal in the future.

Methane measurements at liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities play an important role in characterizing methane emissions from the natural gas supply chain. The large size and complexity of LNG facilities make quantifying emissions with ground-based monitoring systems challenging, making aerial platforms one of the preferred methods for methane measurements at these sites. However, aerial measurements typically provide a snapshot of emissions at a given instance, necessitating further analytical steps to infer both annualized emissions and the range of possible emissions at different instants in time. This study uses aerial measurements at two LNG facilities from a Quantification, Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification project to characterize the distribution of temporally averaged emissions (i.e., annualized inventories) and possible site-level emissions at any given point in time (``instantaneous emissions''). The former provides uncertainty on the aerial measurement component of measurement-informed inventories representing annual averages, while the latter will help contextualize future snapshot measurements (e.g., aerial surveys or high-resolution satellite platforms) at LNG facilities. We find that instantaneous emissions may fall well outside of the distribution describing uncertainty in the annual inventory. We also compare different pre-analysis schemes for aerial data, as existing literature does not provide a clear consensus on methods for doing so, especially at LNG facilities.
Exploration of the Psychological Health Education Model under the Background of Academy System Education
Authors: Song Zhifan
Published: August 2024

Under “Education as the foundation, moral education as the priority, personality cultivation and comprehensive development,” universities started to value mental health education for college students. Faced with the severe psychological problems among current college students, utilizing the advantages of academy management to establish more comprehensive psychological health education systems is conducive to the harmonious and stable development of universities and the healthy growth of college students. Strengthening the overall layout of school mental health education, integrating mental health education into college management and cultural creation, creating a dormitory-based mental health education service platform, and constructing a new model of “Dual line and four levels” mental health education can effectively eliminate blind spots in college mental health education and campus crisis intervention work, providing strong guarantees for maintaining campus harmony and stability.

Red culture, as a unique cultural phenomenon in China, contains rich revolutionary spirit and historical and cultural connotations. Studying the heroic figures and revolutionary deeds in red culture provides positive psychological suggestions and role models for college students, which helps to stimulate their innovative consciousness and entrepreneurial spirit, enabling them to grow up healthy and contribute to the healthy development of society. This has become a common concern and solution for various universities today.
Impact of Professional Identity on English Learning Engagement of English Majors from a University in Ethnic Minority Regions
Authors: Li Ning-ning
Published: August 2024

This study examines the mediating mechanism of professional identity on English learning engagement through a questionnaire survey of 206 English majors from one of the universities in ethnic minority regions. Based on the participation-identification model, learning engagement theory and the previous research on professional identity, academic self-efficacy and learning engagement, the author proposes two hypotheses: (1) English majors’ professional identity positively predicates their English learning engagement; (2) English majors’ English academic self-efficacy plays a mediating role in the relationship between their professional identity and their English learning engagement. The results demonstrate that under the premise of including the control variable, professional identity can significantly influence English learning engagement of English majors from the university in ethnic minority regions with a strong effect. Besides, English academic self-efficacy partially mediates the relationship between professional identity and English learning engagement. This study provides some pedagogical implications for facilitating English majors’ English learning engagement.
