Pemeriksaan kesehatan merupakan pemeriksaan yang berfokus pada pencegahan primer dan sekunder dengan melihat secara holistik berbagai faktor kesehatan yang dapat menyebabkan penyakit tertentu. Salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan lansia mudah terkena penyakit adalah karena pola hidup yang tidak sehat. Pola hidup yang tidak sehat mengarah kepada penyakit, seperti asam urat, hipertensi, diabetes militus, dan penyakit jantung. Data dari Riskesdas (2018) menunjukkan banyak lansia dengan rentang usia 55 hingga 75 tahun ke atas terjangkit dengan penyakit jantung koroner. Adapun data dari World Health Organization (WHO), penyakit stroke dan penyakit jantung banyak disebabkan karena tingginya kadar kolesterol dalam darah. Berdasarkan hasil survei yang dilakukan oleh teman-teman mahasiswa KKN UNUSA kelompok 21 di Desa Banyuurip, banyak lansia yang terkena penyakit diabetes, stroke, dan asam urat. Hal ini bisa saja terjadi akibat adanya kebiasaan orang setempat yang membakar olahan sampah dan tanaman yang sudah tidak terpakai. Tujuan dari penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk menginformasikan kepada masyarakat khususnya lansia akan bahaya penyakit, seperti diabetes, stroke, penyakit jantung, radang sendi akibat asam urat, dan lain-lain. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan pemeriksaan dan senam. Hasil dan diskusi yang didapatkan adalah mayoritas lansia Dusun Karangasem memiliki kadar gula darah dan kolesterol yang tinggi, sedangkan kadar asam urat dan glukosa berada pada rentang normal. Kesimpulannya adalah hal ini menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata warga Dusun Karangasem memiliki risiko tinggi terkena penyakit diabetes, jantung koroner, stroke, dan lain-lain.

Published: March 2024

This paper aims to assess the impact of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) spoofing on the performance of a Garmin GPSMAP 66sr dual-frequency GNSS receiver. The evaluation is conducted through field assessments under three conditions: 1) single-frequency GPS L1 coarse acquisition (C/A) only, 2) single-frequency GPS L1 C/A and Galileo E1 open service (OS), and 3) dual-frequency GPS L1 C/A and L5, as well as Galileo E1 OS and E5a. The results emphasise the critical role of multifrequency GNSS in mitigating spoofing. In the dual-frequency multi-GNSS mode, spoofing does not occur as the GPS L5 and Galileo E5a signals remain unaffected by spoofing signals in the L1 / E1 band. In the single-frequency multi-GNSS mode, the higher number of observed GNSS satellites contributes to higher minimum spoofing power levels and longer durations between position fix loss and spoofing as compared to the GPS only mode.
Malaysian Banknote Reader Featuring Counterfeit Detection Using Fuzzy Logic Weighted Specific (FLWS) Algorithm
Authors: Al-Hila Turki Khaled , Wong Wai Kit , Min Thu Soe , Wong Eng Kiong , S. Manikandan
Published: March 2024

To identify fake Malaysian banknotes, this research suggested a revolutionary fuzzy logic weighted specific (FLWS) approach in image processing techniques. The FLWS Algorithm has the benefit of a more accurate model because it is a human guidance learning algorithm that demands training to obtain the precise weights for each security feature. The trial outcomes also demonstrated that, for the purpose of detecting counterfeit Malaysian banknotes, the FLWS model outperformed the parallel fuzzy logic weighted averaging (FLWA) algorithm, MobileNet model, and VGG16 model. Its adoption of well-known watermark features, with specific weights assigned, and well-known machine learning techniques to distinguish between genuine Malaysian banknotes and counterfeit Malaysian banknotes gives it a clear advantage over earlier or current banknote counterfeit detection techniques.

Published: March 2024

This study analyzes and implements the Floyd Warshall algorithm using Z-Score to track alternative routes to areas in Medan City, Indonesia that are prone to mugging. The data was obtained from Porlestabes (Police station) Medan-Indonesia. This study employed the Z-Score rank method to rank specific values and determine the levels of crime-prone areas. The highest and lowest levels of crime-proneness were identified using the Z-Score method, and the Floyd Warshall Algorithm is used to identify alternative routes to avoid such areas. The language used in this study adheres to objective and formal writing principles, with value-neutral and clear terminology employed throughout.  The results of this analysis showed that out of 99 roads across 18 districts, 4.04% of them were classified as very high prone, 9.09% as high prone, 11.11% as prone, and 75.76% as low prone. The search results from conducting alternative route analysis with the Floyd Warshall algorithm on Perintis Kemerdekaan street indicate the identification of the safest routes.

Authors: Jollyta Deny , Gusrianty Gusrianty , Prihandoko Prihandoko , Sukrianto Darmanta
Published: March 2024

The modern technological advancements have made it simpler for fake news to circulate online. The researchers have developed several strategies to overcome this obstacle, including text classification, distribution network analysis, and human-machine hybrid methods. The most common method is text categorization, and many researchers offer deep learning and machine learning models as remedies. An Indonesian language fake news detection system based on news headlines was developed in this work using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) kernel and n-gram. The objective of this research is to identify the model that produces the best performance outcomes. The system deployment on the web will employ the model that produces the greatest outcomes. According to the research findings, the linear kernel SVM algorithm produces the best results, with an accuracy value of 0.974. Furthermore, the bigram feature used in the development of a classification model does not increase the precision of fake news identification in Indonesian. Utilizing the unigram function yields the most accurate results.

Authors: Ghani ST. Aminah Dinayati , Intan Indo , Rizal Muhammad
Published: March 2024

Since the COVID-19 pandemic occurred all over the world, numerous studies were carried out to overcome this problem, including COVID-19 image analysis. An expert analysis based on the Chest X-ray images of COVID-19 determines the progression of the lung condition. Eye visualization and expertise of a radiologist have limitations in handling big cases. This study aims to implement the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and MobileNet models as deep learning models to classify chest X-ray images into multiclassification, three categories: COVID-19, normal, and virus. The processes were pre-processing and processing. The pre-processing stage was preparing data, and the processing stage was the implementation model and investigating the best model performance in both convolution and classification in depth-wise convolution and batch normalization. The metrics were accuracy, precision, f1-score, and recall. The CNN results of accuracy, precision, recall, and f1-score respectively were 0.94; 0.99; 0.95; and 0.96. The MobileNet results of the metrics were 0.97; 0.98; 0.99, and 0.99. The MobileNet outperforms the CNN results due to depth-wise convolution and batch normalization. Both models contribute to the faster epoch of the best hyperparameter to achieve loss and accuracy convergence. The models are worth recommending to deployment front-end.
Turkey's Kurdish Insurgency Reappraised (Part I)
Authors: Gunter Michael M. , Saeed Seevan
Published: March 2024

As the modern Republic of Turkey—officially established on 29 October  1923—enters its second century and crucial national elections for president and parliament were held on 14 and 28 May 2023 in which the Kurds played a crucial role, this is a particularly important time to reappraise the county’s long-continuing Kurdish insurgency and related events. Over the years, two over-arching, seemingly contradictory themes involving change and continuity have characterised Turkey’s policy toward the Kurds. During Ottoman times (1261-1923) and even into the early Republican days (1923- ), the Kurds were granted a type of separate status befitting their unique ethnic identity. However, probably largely because of the Sheikh Said Rebellion in 1925, Kemalist Turkey abruptly cancelled this policy and instead initiated one of denial, assimilation, and force. The fear was that the Kurds would potentially challenge Turkey’s territorial integrity and divide the state. Only gradually beginning in the 1970s and 1980s, when this position of, denial, assimilation, and the fist had clearly failed, did Turkey cautiously and incrementally begin again reversing its policy and granting the Kurds some type of recognition. Thus this article also will cover the PKK insurgency, as well as Abdullah (Apo) Ocalan’s capture and its consequences. Subsequently, Part II of this reappraisal will bring events up to the present in 2024.

Published: March 2024

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto analgésico y antiinflamatorio de la apitoxina, obtenida a través de picaduras de abejas (Apis mellifera), como tratamiento coadyuvante en enfermedades musculoesqueléticas en perros domésticos (Canis lupus familiaris), con el objetivo de mejorar la movilidad de los animales. La investigación se llevó a cabo entre agosto y diciembre en la Clínica Veterinaria "Entre Garras y Bigotes" en la ciudad de Quito. Se recopilaron datos de 15 perros de diversas razas, edades y sexos, todos con problemas de movilidad y dolor, evaluados mediante la escala de dolor de Glasgow. Los pacientes seleccionados fueron divididos en tres grupos: T1, al cual se le administró carprofeno 4.4 mg/kg cada 24 horas durante 5 días, junto con tres inoculaciones directas de apitoxina en el área afectada cada 48 horas por tres ocasiones; T2, que recibió exclusivamente tres picaduras de apitoxina en la zona afectada, cada 48 horas por 3 ocasiones; y T3, al cual se le administró exclusivamente carprofeno 4.4 mg/kg cada 24 horas durante 5 días. El análisis estadístico reveló que el grupo T1 experimentó cambios positivos en la evolución funcional. Sin embargo, al comparar los tratamientos y momentos de evaluación (p=0,598), se determinó que, independientemente del tratamiento aplicado, se observa una disminución en los signos de dolor.

Authors: Alybaev K. , Nurmatova M. , Musakulova N.
Published: March 2024

When studying the asymptotic behavior of solutions to singularly perturbed equations with analytic functions, various methods are used. The main goal of this work is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the methods used and divide them into groups. To achieve this goal, a scalar, nonlinear first-order equation with an initial condition is considered. The equation is considered in a certain circle, the complex plane of the independent variable, and the real part of the function — the coefficient, for a linear unknown function, changes its sign from negative to positive on part of the segment of the real axis contained in the circle. The concept of the domain of attraction of the solution of a singularly perturbed equation to the solution of a nonlinear equation (degenerate equation) is introduced. The task is set to prove the existence of a region of attraction. In the process of solving the problem, the methods used are divided into three groups.

Authors: Erkinbaeva N.
Published: March 2024

Purification of unwanted impurities from rare earth products was carried out using inorganic and organic precipitating reagents. A 1 M solution of 8-hydroxycholine was used as organic precipitants. The use of organic precipitants forms stable intracomplex compounds with metal cations. Solutions of barium chloride and ammonia solution were used as inorganic precipitants. For the precipitant, specific and highly volatile precipitant reagents were chosen when heated. Iron, aluminum, sodium and sulfate ions were extracted from the product under study, because the chemical composition of the slag contains more of them. Enriched concentrated lanthanum chloride powder was reduced with lithium to lanthanum metal. Lanthanum is obtained in the form of large crystals with a purity of 99.6% by weight.

‘I was right here, the whole time, none of you could see me’: Background Ghosts, Fear, and Vision in Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting (2018–2020)
Authors: Trotry Pauline
Published: March 2024

This article focuses on Mike Flanagan’s Haunting series and brings the pervasive background ghost to the foreground of analysis by studying that which is, as expressed by young Nell in The Haunting of Hill House, ‘right here the whole time’ and yet cannot be seen. Using Jacques Derrida’s seminal notion of ‘spectre’ and its related ‘visor effect’ concept to build textual analyses of both The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, this study demonstrates the ways in which the background ghost both reflects and challenges conventional horror dynamics of visuality and spectacularity. Such dynamics extend beyond the story space and involve the implied and near-sighted spectator, at once imperfect ghost-hunter and hunted by the background ghost. Such pervasive mechanics of haunting allow Flanagan to create a space of highly contemporary terror oozing from the screen to the implied viewer.

Basic Physics Laboratory is one of the supporting laboratories at Gunadarma University. Each practical activity in the laboratory is supervised by respective assistants. Therefore, a support system is needed as a basis for decision-making in determining assistant candidates. This decision-making process is processed using data mining techniques, specifically classification algorithms. The criteria or attributes used in the decision-making process include written test scores, practical test scores, presentation scores, equipment usage abilities, and interviews. The classification algorithms used in this research are ID3 and C4.5 algorithms. The tools used to implement these algorithms are RapidMiner Studio 9.10. These algorithms will generate decision trees that can be used as decision support. The aim of this research is to conduct an accuracy comparison analysis for the ID3 and C4.5 algorithms. The highest accuracy obtained will be used as a reference for determining whether assistant candidates are accepted or not. The accuracy results show that the C4.5 algorithm has the highest accuracy, precision, and recall compared to the ID3 algorithm. The determination of the highest value is done using the k-fold cross-validation model for values 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. The C4.5 algorithm has the highest accuracy of 96.67% at k-fold value = 2.
Comment on "Superradiant stability of the Kerr black holes'' by Huang
Authors: CHEN WEN-XIANG
Published: March 2024

It has been claimed in \cite{1} that this research investigates the superradiant stability of a system comprising a Kerr black hole and a massive scalar perturbation. Previous studies have demonstrated superradiant stability under the condition $\mu \geq \sqrt{2} m \Omega_H$, where $\mu$ represents the scalar's proper mass, $m$ denotes the azimuthal number of the scalar mode, and $\Omega_H$ is the angular velocity of the Kerr black hole's horizon. Their work serves as a complement to these findings. They analytically establish that in the complementary parameter space, $\mu < \sqrt{2} m \Omega_H$, the system maintains superradiant stability if the scalar perturbation and Kerr black hole parameters meet two straightforward criteria: $\omega < \frac{\mu}{\sqrt{2}}$ and $\frac{r_{-}}{r_{+}} < 0.802$.The condition derived therein involves four variables (\(z_1\), \(z_2\), \(z_3\), and \(z_4\)) which are all negative. Given the focus of the cited article on analyzing the stability condition of \(B_1\), imposing constraints on the sign (positive or negative) of \(z_1\) and \(z_2\) is not pertinent. Consequently, the stability criterion presented in this article is broader and less precise.

This article introduces an openly accessible dataset aimed at supporting energy system modelling of decarbonisation pathways in the Philippines. The dataset was compiled through an extensive literature review, incorporating information from various sources such as the Philippines Department of Energy, academic publications, and international organisations. To ensure compatibility with OSeMOSYS modelling requirements, the data underwent processing and standardisation. It includes power plant data covering existing capacity from classified by grid, off-grid, and planned additions, as well as historical generation data. Additionally, the dataset provides historical and projected electricity demand from 2015 to 2050 segmented by sectors. It also offers technical potential estimates for fossil fuels and renewable energy sources, along with key techno-economic parameters for emerging technologies like floating solar PV, in-stream tidal, and offshore wind. The dataset is freely available on Zenodo, empowering researchers, policymakers, and private-sector actors to conduct independent energy modelling and analyses aligned with the U4RIA framework principles. Its open access encourages collaboration and facilitates informed decision-making to advance a sustainable energy future not only for the Philippines but also for broader global contexts.

Objective: Novel strength-gradient monolithic zirconia is a developed material recently introduced to the market and its mechanical properties should be investigated in vitro. The aim of the study is to compare the wear rates of three different CAD/CAM materials with a chewing simulator after one year of dynamic loading.

Methods: 7x7x3 mm discs were prepared from lithium disilicate, strength-gradient monolithic zirconia, and zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate glass ceramic. Both groups were divided into two subgroups (n=12) as glazed and mechanically polished.

The samples were scanned with a laser scanner device (SD Mechatronic Laser Scanner LAS-20, Westerham, Germany) to determine the amount of wear. The samples were placed in a chewing simulator (SD Mechatronic Chewing Simulator CS-4.2, Westerham, Germany) for 240 000 cycles which is equivalent to 1 year of clinical use. After the dynamic loading in the chewing simulator, the samples were scanned again in the laser scanner, and the data was obtained. Kruskal Wallis test was used to analyze the data.

Results: The amount of wear of each material was found to be statistically significant (p< .05). No significant differences between the polished and glazed groups of Zir and LD were found but glazed CD was significantly more wear-resistant than polished CD (p< .05).

Conclusions: Wear is a phenomenon that can be affected by different factors such as microstructure and surface finishing of the materials. Wear resistance should be taken into consideration when choosing a material.

Published: March 2024

Objectives: Retrospective determination of the changes in the mandibular canal (MC) course in men and women in the second premolar, first molar and second molar regions of the dentulous and edentulous mandible.

Methods: In CBCT images of 274 patients aged 18-88 years who were systemically healthy, the distances of the outer cortex of the MC to the mandible superior, lingual, inferior and buccal cortical bone border were measured in the right and left mandible 2nd premolar, 1st molar and 2nd molar regions. In these regions, the differences in MC course between left and right hemimandible, dentulous and edentulous, and males and females were examined by independent t-test and paired t-test (p< .05).

Results: As a result of the statistical analysis, statistical significance was observed in the linear measurements of the MC to the superior cortical bone border in dentulous and edentulous patients in the relevant regions. In female and male patients, the distance of the MC to the inferior cortical edge of the mandible in the dentulous and edentulous dentition was statistically less in females. The superior distance of the mandible was found to be less in the edentulous regions than in the dentulous regions.

Conclusions: The course of the MC in the posterior mandible is generally close to the inferior and lingual wall, but it changes direction towards the superior and buccal regions as it approaches the mental foramen. Furthermore, in women, the MC is located closer to the inferior border of the mandible compared to men.

Purpose: To evaluate the change in corneal biomechanics in patients with postoperative ectasia risk when combining two common laser vision correction procedures (tPRK and FS-LASIK) with cross-linking (in tPRK Xtra and FS-LASIK Xtra).

Methods: The study included 143 eyes of 143 myopic, astigmatic patients that were divided into non-cross-linked refractive surgery groups (non-Xtra groups, tPRK and FS-LASIK) and cross-linked groups (Xtra groups, tPRK Xtra and FS-LASIK Xtra) according to an ectasia risk scoring system. The eyes were subjected to measurements including the stress-strain index (SSI), the stiffness parameter at first applanation (SP-A1), the integrated inverse radius (IIR), the deformation amplitude at apex (DA), and the ratio of deformation amplitude between apex and 2 mm from apex (DARatio2mm). The measurements were taken preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively (pos1m, pos3m, and pos6m). Posterior demarcation line depth from the endothelium (PDLD) and from the ablation surface (DLA) were recorded at pos1m.

Results: SP-A1 significantly decreased, while IIR, deformation amplitude, and DARatio2mm increased significantly postoperatively in all four groups (p < 0.01)—all denoting stiffness decreases. In the FS-LASIK group, the changes in IIR, DA, and DARatio2mm were 32.7 ± 15.1%, 12.9 ± 7.1%, and 27.2 ± 12.0% respectively, which were significantly higher (p < 0.05) compared to 20.1 ± 12.8%, 6.4 ± 8.2%, and 19.7 ± 10.4% in the FS-LASIK Xtra group. In the tPRK group, the change in IIR was 27.3 ± 15.5%, significantly larger than 16.9 ± 13.4% in the tPRK Xtra group. The changes of SSI were minimal in the tPRK (−1.5 ± 21.7%, p = 1.000), tPRK Xtra (8.4 ± 17.9%, p = 0.053), and FS-LASIK Xtra (5.6 ± 12.7%, p = 0.634) groups, but was significant in the FS-LASIK group (−12.1 ± 7.9%, p < 0.01). After correcting for baseline biomechanical metrics, preoperative bIOP and the change in central corneal thickness (△CCT) from pre to pos6m, the changes in the IIR in both FS-LASIK and tPRK groups, as well as DA, DARatio2mm and SSI in the FS-LASIK group remained statistically greater than their corresponding Xtra groups (all p < 0.05). Most importantly, after correcting for these covariates, the changes in DARatio2mm in the FS-LASIK Xtra became statistically smaller than in the tPRK Xtra (p = 0.017).

Conclusion: The statistical analysis results indicate that tPRK Xtra and FS-LASIK Xtra effectively reduced the biomechanical losses caused by refractive surgery (tPRK and FS-LASIK). The decrease in corneal overall stiffness was greater in FS-LASIK than in tPRK, and the biomechanical enhancement of CXL was also higher following LASIK than after tPRK.

Biomaterials containing citric acid as a building unit show potential for use as blood vessel and skin tissue substitutes. The success in commercializing implants containing a polymer matrix of poly(1,8-octanediol citrate) provides a rationale for exploring polycitrates based on other diols. Changing the aliphatic chain length of the diol allows functional design strategies to control the implant’s mechanical properties, degradation profile and surface energy. In the present work, poly(1,2-ethanediol citrate) was synthesized and used as an additive to polylactide in the electrospinning process. It was established that the content of polycitrate greatly influences the nonwovens’ properties: an equal mass ratio of polymers resulted in the best morphology. The obtained nonwovens were characterized by surface hydrophilicity, tensile strength, and thermal properties. L929 cell cultures were carried out on their surface. The materials were found to be non-cytotoxic and the degree of porosity was suitable for cell colonization. On the basis of the most important parameters for assessing the condition of cultured cells (cell density and viability, cell metabolic activity and lactate dehydrogenase activity), the potential of PLLA + PECit nonwovens for application in tissue engineering was established.
