Authors: Safitri Jeni , Anggoro Bambang Sri , Fadila Abi , Nofiansyah Wahyu
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the explicit instruction learning model on the understanding of mathematical concepts in terms of self-reliance of junior high school students. This research uses quantitative research with Quasi Experimental Design research. The results of the study indicate that: 1) there is an influence between the Explicit Instruction learning model and the expository learning model on understanding mathematical concepts. Then students' understanding of mathematical concepts in the application of the expository learning model is no better than students' understanding of mathematical concepts in the application of the Explicit Instruction learning model; 2) there is no influence between students with high, medium, and low self-reliance categories on understanding mathematical concepts; 3) there is no interaction between learning model factors and self-reliance towards understanding mathematical concepts. The recommendation is that the application of the Explicit Instruction learning model can be an alternative in learning mathematics, especially in maximizing understanding of mathematical concepts for other discussions and can also maximize students' self-reliance.

Bio-inspired algorithm-based hyperparameter tuning for drug-target binding affinity prediction in healthcare
Authors: Sharma Moolchand , Deswal Suman
Published: July 2023

The greatest challenge for healthcare in drug repositioning and discovery is identifying interactions between known drugs and targets. Experimental methods can reveal some drug-target interactions (DTI) but identifying all of them is an expensive and time-consuming endeavor. Machine learning-based algorithms currently cover the DTI prediction problem as a binary classification problem. However, the performance of the DTI prediction is negatively impacted by the lack of experimentally validated negative samples due to an imbalanced class distribution. Hence recasting the DTI prediction task as a regression problem may be one way to solve this problem. This paper proposes a novel convolutional neural network with an attention-based bidirectional long short-term memory (CNN-AttBiLSTM), a new deep-learning hybrid model for predicting drug-target binding affinities. Secondly, it can be arduous and time-intensive to tune the hyperparameters of a CNN-AttBiLSTM hybrid model to augment its performance. To tackle this issue, we suggested a Memetic Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSOA) algorithm, for ascertaining the best settings for the proposed model. According to experimental results, the suggested MPSOA-based CNN- Att-BiLSTM model outperforms baseline techniques with a 0.90 concordance index and 0.228 mean square error in DAVIS dataset, and 0.97 concordance index and 0.010 mean square error in the KIBA dataset.
Syzygy of Sexual Polarities: A Juginan Psychological Elucidation of Ode to Grecian Urn
Authors: Khan Imdad Ullah , Ali Akbar , Hakeem Memoona
Published: July 2023

This study examines the psychological symbolism in Keatsian poetry using analytical psychology. John Keats ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’ is steeped in psychological, symbolic, and analytical perspectives, which are essential components of Jungian psychology/archetypal analysis. The current study aims to scrutinize the psychological and symbolic perspectives of Keats’s poem to understand the depth of psychic integration and archetypes in the text. This study analyzes ‘Ode on a Grecian Urn’ by deploying Carl Jung’s concepts of syzygy or complementation of psychic energies of anima in the males and animus in the females. The term syzygy signifies a union of opposites like anima and animus and the conscious or collective unconscious. This process of complementation or complementary opposite of integration in the ode has symbolic interaction between the conscious male persona (animus) and the collective unconscious female persona (anima). Based on a close reading of the poem from a Jungian perspective, the current study provides a psychological understanding of poetic creation by underlying the conscious acts and thinking of the author as psychic interactions. This study aims to understand the symbolic representation of opposing psychic energies in Keatsian poetry. Moreover, the study analyzes the interpretation and the balance of male and female energies in Keats' poetry mean for the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind, and  its effect on the poetic creativity and inner peace of the author. Thereby, the study elaborated that Keatsian poetry is a true depiction of Jungian psychology.

Authors: Li Jiaxin , Li Ru , Li Dazhi , Zhang Jian , Luo Xingguang , Zhang Yong
Published: July 2023

Background

We aimed to explore the predictive role of serum BDNF and anxiety-related variables in changes in somatic symptoms post-escitalopram treatment in panic disorder (PD) patients.

Methods

Ninety PD patients and 99 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. PD patients received an 8-week escitalopram treatment. All patients were administered the Panic Disorder Severity Scale–Chinese Version (PDSS-CV) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) to assess panic and anxiety-related symptoms, respectively. Patient Health Questionnaire 15-item scale (PHQ-15) was performed to measure somatic symptoms, and the blood sample was collected to detect serum BDNF levels in all participants. We performed partial correlation analysis and multiple linear regression to explore correlates of PHQ-15 and predictors of PHQ-15 changes post-escitalopram treatment after controlling for age, gender, education levels (set as a dummy variable), the current duration, comorbid AP, and/or GAD.

Results

Compared to HCs, PD patients had lower serum BDNF levels and higher PHQ-15 scores that could be improved post-escitalopram treatment. Lower baseline STAI state (b = −0.07, p = 0.004), and PDSS-CV scores (b = −0.25, p = 0.007), but higher baseline serum BDNF levels (b = 0.35, p = 0.007) contributed to the prediction of PHQ-15 changes post-escitalopram treatment.

Conclusion

State anxiety, serum BDNF levels, and panic severity could predict changes in somatic symptoms post-escitalopram treatment, our results highlighted that serum BDNF could serve as a biological indicator for improving somatic symptoms in PD patients.

Background: Acute pancreatitis is a common disease with wide clinical variation and its incidence is increasing. The reasons for grading acute pancreatitis clinically or by using multiple factor scoring systems or single prognostic factor is for the early assessment and accurate prediction of the severity of the disease to avoid costly and invasive monitoring and treatment in the largest group of patients who tend to run a more benign course. In this study, we assess the prevalence of severe acute pancreatitis by using the APACHEII and Ranson's score criteria, in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 70 patients of acute pancreatitis. Multiple clinical and laboratory variables of both Ranson's and APACHEII scoring system and the nal score of the patient from both the scoring systems were assessed to know their efcacy in predicting the severity of the disease (higher the score more severe the disease). In addition the SDMH score was also included in the study to assess severity of acute pancreatitis as well as to compare its validity with APACHEII and Ranson's score criteria. Data were analysed in SPSS v- 24. Independent t-test and Chi-square test were applied, p value <0.05 was considered statistically signicant. Results: Mortality was found in 4 participants and prevalence of severe acute pancreatitis was found 24.3% ,11.4% according to APACHE II score and Ranson's criteria respectively. Astatistically signicant difference was found in severe acute pancreatitis score between APACHEII and SDMH score as well as RANSON's and SDMH score and was noted high according to SDMH. Conclusion: It is concluded that prevalence of severe acute pancreatitis was found 24.3% according to APACHEII score and 11.4% by Ranson's score. According to SDMH score as score increases, the severity was also increased.

It is normally known that '' literary language '' is different from '' ordinary language '' . That is , it is full of deviation , while, Prat,(1977:80) maintains that '' ordinary language '' is accompanied by ordinary rules , and outlines the work of Grice (1975 ) concerning the appropriate conditions that accepting a particular illocution-conditions which language users assume to be in effect.      In this study , the present tense is not referred to as an indication to the moment of speaking or action . Rather , in narratives , it signals that this genre is '' unmediated '' . As such , the present tense is heavily used by writers , regardless of the time being , to signify that a text can be read at any time. Moreover, it can be noted , that the shift from the past to the simple present tense offers readers an opportunity to think seriously of what is being said . It, thus,invites thought and suspense . As far as the writer is concerned , it seems that the writer resorts to the simple present tense just to comment , highlight and criticize some incidents or events within the story.

"The research aims to characterise the discretionary powers in financial law and to focus on the application of special personal and economic sanctions and combating criminal schemes, including legalisation (laundering) of the criminally obtained funds during the war. The study was conducted using comprehensive scientific and special legal methods of synthesis and analysis, formal logical and formal legal methods, and the comparative legal method. The research focuses on highly automated systems using the latest information technologies. The author examines the mechanism of combating financial crime in terms of improving the regulatory framework, institutional modernisation, and functional changes considering the experience of such countries as the USA, the UK, Germany, and Italy. Personal political and economic special sanctions are identified in Ukraine as an effective instrument of discretionary law enforcement. When deciding on the application of personal political and economic sanctions, legality, transparency, objectivity, proportionality, and effectiveness must be ensured. Decision-making on the application of sanctions must meet the requirements of legality, transparency, and objectivity. The research formulates and substantiates recommendations which may be used to improve legislation aimed at countering criminal schemes in wartime. These proposals can be used in further research, in the educational process, in the development of scientific recommendations, as well as in the practical activities of state authorities in application of discretionary powers and counteraction to criminal schemes during martial law."

Transit station area walkability: Identifying impediments to walking using scalable, recomputable land-use measures
Authors: Pilgram Clemens , West Sarah
Published: July 2023

Transit station area land-use characteristics can increase or decrease the perceived costs of riding rail relative to driving or taking other modes. This paper focuses on those characteristics that create discomfort to riders who are walking between stations and destinations, with the aim of providing researchers and planners with a tool that can be used to identify pain points in any existing or potential station areas. We propose and demonstrate a scalable, recomputable method of measuring pedestrian quality for trips that relies solely on datasets readily available for almost any location in the United States, and we compare results using data from a global source, OpenStreetMap. We illustrate our tool in neighborhoods surrounding the Blue Line light rail in Minneapolis, Minnesota, calculating the population-weighted distribution of land uses within pathway buffers of walks from stations to nearby destinations. We focus on land uses that pose a disutility to pedestrians such as major highways or industrial tracts, and we compare disamenity levels across station areas. Despite their simplicity, our measures capture important differences in land-use-related pedestrian experiences and reveal the inadequacy of using circular buffers to designate and characterize station catchment areas.

Данная работа посвящена проблеме безопасности резервного хранения конфиденциальных данных в распределенных серверах. Для решения этой задачи существуют криптографические протоколы, обеспечивающие зашифрование сообщений, расшифрование которых будет возможно не ранее заданного времени. Такие протоколы представляют собой эффективную комбинацию различных вариантов протоколов распределенной генерации ключей, протоколов проактивного разделения секрета,  асимметричных алгоритмов шифрования, алгоритмов электронной цифровой подписи. На основе таких криптографических протоколов можно разработать и внедрить практический сервис шифрования данных в распределенных серверах. Это одно из важных проблем в вопросах обеспечения безопасности функционирования критически важных информационных систем, оперирующие с большими объемами конфиденциальной информации. В работе проводится анализ безопасности модели функционирования отказоустойчивого сервиса децентрализованного хранения информации на основе современных криптографических протоколов шифрования.
