Published: November 2024

Malnutrition in children is a serious health issue in various regions, including DKI Jakarta Province, which affects the physical and cognitive development of children. This research aims to classify malnutrition status in children using the K-Means algorithm, focusing on cases in DKI Jakarta. The objective is to identify patterns of malnutrition prevalence across different regions, serving as a basis for more effective interventions. The data used in this study includes the percentage of children with severely stunted, stunted, and normal nutritional status across six districts/cities in DKI Jakarta. The results of K-Means clustering show that Central Jakarta has the highest prevalence of severely stunted (10.50%) and stunted (13.01%) status, while West Jakarta has the lowest prevalence of severely stunted (4.62%) and stunted (10.22%) status. The solution offered by this research is the grouping of regions based on malnutrition prevalence, allowing for the identification of areas requiring priority intervention. The analysis results indicate that DKI Jakarta can be classified into several clusters based on malnutrition prevalence. The cluster with the highest malnutrition prevalence includes Central Jakarta, while the cluster with the lowest malnutrition prevalence includes West Jakarta and the Thousand Islands. The implementation of K-Means in this research provides an efficient approach to identifying groups of regions that need more attention in combating malnutrition in children. In conclusion, this research can serve as an important reference for policymakers in formulating more effective and efficient intervention strategies in DKI Jakarta, as well as inspire similar studies in other regions with different population characteristics

Published: November 2024

Waste and renewable energy are critical issues in Indonesia, with the government aiming for renewable energy (RE) to contribute 23% to the national energy mix by 2025. This research focuses on developing a waste processing system through the TOSS (Tempat Olah Sampah Setempat) method and Peuyeumisasi technique to convert waste into biomass, such as briquettes and pellets for fuel. However, manual waste sorting remains time-consuming, prompting the need for a real-time detection system. You Only Look Once (YOLO) is an object detection approach that utilizes Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) for object detection, making it one of the applications of intelligent computing in the field of computer vision. the latest version of YOLO is YOLO v8 offering several improvements over the previous version, can be employed in a real-time detection system to separate organic and inorganic waste. In this study, the dataset used consists of 2.000 images comprising five classes of inorganic waste: plastic bottles, plastic, glass, cans, and Styrofoam. The study demonstrates that YOLOv8 performs exceptionally well in detecting inorganic waste, with an average accuracy of 98% based on direct testing, and model evaluation showing an average accuracy of 99.33%, precision of 99.63%, recall of 96.53%, and an f1-score of 98.03%. These results indicate that the YOLOv8 method can significantly accelerate and simplify the waste sorting process, thereby supporting the conversion of waste into renewable energy. This research is expected to provide a practical solution and serve as a reference for future studies.

Published: November 2024

Computer networks are essential for modern life, enabling efficient global information exchange. However, as technology advances, network security challenges grow. To enhance security, honeypots are used alongside firewalls, mimicking legitimate systems to attract hackers and analyze their attack methods. In this research, Cowrie and Dionaea honeypots are implemented. Cowrie targets brute force attacks on SSH, while Dionaea detects port scanning and denial of service (DoS) attacks. These honeypots effectively capture and log malicious activities, providing insights into attack patterns. The collected data is analyzed using the ELK Stack, which offers real-time visualization of attack trends, frequency, and methods. This analysis helps security teams quickly identify and mitigate threats. The integration of honeypots with the ELK Stack significantly enhances network defense by improving detection, analysis, and response to cyber threats. The analysis of the results shows that both honeypots effectively capture and record malicious activities entering the network, providing critical insights into the attack patterns employed by attackers. Within just minutes of deployment, the honeypots logged over 1,000 attacks, predominantly originating from botnets attempting to exploit system vulnerabilities. The captured log data is processed through the ELK Stack, allowing for real-time visualization of attack patterns, including geographic origins, attack frequency, and methods used. This enables security teams to proactively identify trends, assess risks, and implement targeted mitigation strategies more efficiently.

Published: November 2024

Banten Maritime Polytechnic is a new academic school established in 2019 so that the formulation of data management is still being sought to be suitable and optimal, there are many obstacles if the data is not managed properly, starting from the recruitment of prospective cadets in taking sailor competency training such as not optimal socialization. According to data from the 2021 Transportation Human Resource Development Agency, it explains that there are still few enthusiasts, especially at the Banten Maritime Polytechnic. The purpose of this study is to analyze the profile of cadets in taking sailor competency training using the age, recency, frequency and monetary methods in categorizing data and clustering with the k-means and k-medoids algorithms so that the data can be used for cadet services and related parties in the Banten Maritime Polytechnic database. This analysis can also be used for mapping in recruiting prospective cadets in taking sailor competency training so that they can see opportunities and optimize target markets. This research was conducted in 2023 based on the latest data on the 2022-2023 academic year cadet profile at the Banten Maritime Polytechnic. The results of this analysis data can be used for cadets who have not graduated and have graduated in finding work partners and channeling cadets to the shipping industry. So it is very important to manage and cluster cadet profile data in taking this sailor competency training. The use of the K-means and K-medoids algorithms helps in compiling data groupings that have large data. It works by looking at the number of small groups or groups whose numbers are represented by the variable K. To be able to group the existing data, the K-means algorithm runs iteratively from each existing data point to the K group that has been created. The results of the study are cadet profile grouping data that can be managed again for strategies and management formulations at the Banten Maritime Polytechnic, especially in increasing the recruitment of prospective cadets in taking sailor competency training.

Analyzing Pain Modulation Through Analgesics and Devices in the United States: How Studies Historically Exacerbated the Gender Pain Gap
Authors: Raghavan Ahana
Published: November 2024

Pain medicine has a long history, with the Egyptians and Babylonians using bleeding and trepanning to modulate pain (Doleys). With the birth of pain medicine came the birth of inequities. In fact, in the United States, drugs may not be as effective for half of the population. This paper compiles studies conducted over 2 decades by pain medicine specialists on women's pain treatment, studying factors involved in women being treated differently for chronic/episodic pain. These studies tested different drug dosages and medical devices to highlight the lack of female data in analgesic studies, showing the impact of historic bias on female health. Findings indicate women have not been prioritized in pain studies, affecting their healthcare quality and drug efficacy in these populations. The importance of women-centric studies, clinical trials with more female data, and women in analgesic R&D is emphasized.
Translating Diminutives: A Corpus-Based Analysis of the Gravitational Pull Hypothesis
Authors: Tello Isabel
Published: November 2024

The use of diminutive suffixes is very common in Spanish. However, translators tend to underuse them when translating from languages in which diminutives are scarcer or less used. In this paper, we seek to identify this underuse in literary texts translated from English and French into European Spanish, by focusing on the morphological aspects of diminution, but also adopting a semantic approach. To this end, the theoretical framework proposed by Halverson’s Gravitational Pull Hypothesis (GPH; 2003, 2010, 2017) was employed. Drawing on cognitive linguistics and bilingualism research, the GPH constitutes an attempt to account for different hypotheses about translated language. The reason for selecting diminutives is that diminutive suffixes in English-Spanish and French-Spanish language pairs may be regarded as unique items (Tirkkonen-Condit 2004), that is, target language items that are specific to a particular language and without a direct counterpart in the source language. In English and French, diminutiveness is mainly expressed through semantic diminutives, e.g, ‘adjective + noun’ analytic forms, with diminutive suffixes infrequently used. To carry out the analysis, COVALT parallel and comparable corpus was used. Where appropriate, the results were subjected to the log-likelihood test for statistical significance and the Unidirectional Translation Correspondence testing (Marco 2021), which is a formula for operationalising the degree of connectivity between items across the two components of a parallel corpus. Our findings show that Spanish diminutive suffixes were underrepresented in translations compared to non-translated texts, whereas semantic diminutives were overrepresented. URL: http://www.skase.sk/
Mapping Postgraduate Research Trends in the Sociology of Translation in Iran
Authors: Bahri Hossein , Gholami Mahvash
Published: November 2024

Using data from abstracts and methodology sections of a total of 48 MA theses and PhD dissertations on the sociology of translation in Iran, this study renders a map of the 2009–2022 postgraduate research trends in the field. The researchers focused on, among other issues, the frequency of investigated areas and their sub-divisions as well as the most frequently used translation theories and models by the researchers. The findings of the study suggested that while the number of studies on the subject was relatively smaller than other investigated translation areas in the country, research on the sociology of translation remained popular over the 14-year period, witnessing a marked increase in 2019 and then followed by a sharp decrease presumably due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, Bourdieusian theoretical frameworks and context-oriented research methodologies were vastly employed in the studies. The authors have concluded that the subject is still unmapped and open to many avenues for investigation in the Iranian context. Implications of the findings were discussed. Finally, a tentative map of postgraduate research on the sociology of translation in Iran was proposed. URL: http://www.skase.sk/
Allocating Literary Translation on a Continuum of Efferent/Aesthetic Stance of Reading: Towards Transactional Translation of Literature
Authors: M. Adel Abdel-Fattah
Published: November 2024

This paper revisits Louise M. Rosenblatt’s model of reading, the transactional model (1978), and Eugene Nida’s concept of the “dynamic equivalence” (1964) in translation to base its main argument that a literary translation is not just a translation of a literary work but an outcome of an aesthetic reading of a literary work. It proposes a transactional view of translation that what the translator is translating is not the text but a response to the text that comes out of a transaction between the text and the translator. This response is reproduced in the translated text as an equivalence of the response to the original text. The nature of this response depends on the stance the translator takes. The more aesthetic a translator reads the source text, the more aesthetic the dynamic equivalence will be. Therefore, the produced text will fall on a certain point on a continuum that indicates an aesthetic/dynamic reading/translation on one of its poles and an efferent/formal reading/translation on the other. As Rosenblatt’s model of the process stops at the production of the response in the reader’s mind, the paper extends the process to the translation process using Nida’s concept, considering the common aspects in their models and view of the process of reading and translation. The paper analyzes two Arabic translations of some lines from William Shakespeare’s Henry VIII by Mohamed Enani (1996) to show how each translation is located differently on the reading/translation continuum due to the difference in the translator’s stance.

As Ray Bradbury noted in a 1964 interview, the issue of race had already been articulated in cheap magazines of science fiction (SF) literature when this subject matter appeared in mainstream printed and electronic media. The representation of marginalized or disadvantaged communities have had increasing coverage in both British/American popular culture and scholarship including academic literature on SF since the second half of the 1960s. Questions such as to what extent and by what means the living conditions, adversities, worldviews etc. of such communities are represented in SF narratives as well as  the role that individuals identifying themselves as community members play in the production/consumption/reception of SF have been investigated by practitioners of quantitative and qualitative research. Nevertheless, I know of no studies that address the representation of the Roma in contemporary Hungarian SF literature. The present paper aims to accomplish the following: (1) to describe the main features of contemporary Hungarian SF short fiction; (2) to give an outline of those “semiotic” means by which Roma characters in the short stories under scrutiny are identified; (3) to characterize the particular forms of Roma representation—from “social mobility” through “invisibility” to “genocide”—that are present in the narratives in question. The texts used for the analysis are the relevant works selected from those submitted, between 2014 and 2018, as candidates for the Péter Zsoldos Award, a national annual prize awarded for the best (published) Hungarian SF novel and short story.

Authors: Horváth Júlia , N. Mandl Erika
Published: November 2024

In the first part of the paper, some activity models implemented in university courses will be presented, in which the students are introduced, during the dramatization of fairy tales in the framework of joint creative work, to a variety of performance techniques, playing and experimenting with the learned theater effect elements. One of the aims of these courses is to help the students become familiar with fairy tale dramatization forms and fairy tale types that are suitable for integrating educational areas particularly important from the point of view of the development of children growing up in disadvantaged environments (e.g. story content to overcome language disadvantages and incomplete social competences). In the second part of the paper, four types of dramatization models of a particular fairy tale (A kék meg a sárga [The Blue and the Yellow] by Hungarian author Ervin Lázár) will be presented. The practical experiences, reflections, and professional lessons to be learned from the kindergarten implementation of the drafts for the models will be presented, focusing, in addition to the artistic experience, on how the realized adaptations of Ervin Lázár's fairy tale serve the development of emotional and cognitive competences, the overcoming of learning disadvantages arising from disadvantaged situations, and the community integration of the children concerned.

In this article, the aim of the study is to assess the importance of psychological support in the early rehabilitation of patients after a stroke. The study involved 30 patients who had suffered an ischemic stroke. From the results, we see that a stroke dramatically changes a person's life and upon admission, 10% had a severe degree of depression, moderate depression was observed in 73%, and mild depression was in 17%. Daily work with a psychologist during the rehabilitation process significantly improved their psychoemotional state, reducing the level of depression. It also gave motivation for further rehabilitation. So, upon discharge, we observe that 67% of patients increased strength in the affected limbs to a mild degree, the Rivermead mobility index increased significantly and amounted to 12.83.36 points, out of a maximum of 15 points. This suggests that patients have become more mobile and independent. Effective rehabilitation after a stroke requires not only medical and physical therapy, but also the mandatory inclusion of psychological support as part of a comprehensive approach. This increases the chances of successful recovery and adaptation of the patient.

Published: November 2024

The possibility of preventing salmonellosis in chicken (pathogen agent — Salmonella enterica, serovar Enteritidis (SE)) by using specific yolk IgY was discussed in presented article. There has been raising the number of reports in the scientific periodicals about increased antibiotic resistance of Salmonella. SE is one of the most common Salmonella serovars worldwide that causes food poisoning in humans. At the same time, infected chicken eggs and meat serve as the main source of infection. For extraction of the IgY, 10 laying hens were used. All layers were hyperimmunized by a vaccine containing live attenuated strains of Salmonella enterica, ser. Enteritidis and Salmonella gallinarum Pullorum. The control group with the same number of layers was not vaccinated. A feed additive for newly hatched chicken and solution with purified and isolated IgY were prepared from egg yolks of immunized and non-immunized birds. During oral administration as a feed additive in per os and intraperitoneal experimental infection by a lethal dose of SE the examination of the efficiency of the obtained product on six-day-old chickens were conducted. Thereby, conducted examinations have shown the high efficiency of the feed additive and preparation with purified immunoglobulins prepared from the yolks of eggs of immunized chicken in experimental infection with a lethal dose of Salmonella Enteritidis.

Images and Motifs on Painted Ceramics Type C and D in Predynastic Egypt
Authors: Sherkova T.
Published: November 2024

The image of the Great Mother, whose cult can be traced back to the time of the Badari culture and the early phases of the Nagada culture, was carried by historical memory through the millennia of the existence of ancient Egyptian culture. Painted vessels of type C and D and the images on them represent the image of the Great Mother and her semantically identical symbols in compositions that reveal a number of motifs associated with the maternal aspect, sacred marriage with a social leader, and funeral rites. In the dynamics of the development of religious and mythological ideas, this image was embodied in the images of goddesses with a maternal aspect, primarily the heavenly goddess Nut, who preserved in the hieroglyphic spelling of her name the oldest image of a round vessel nw, which in predynastic times, along with water, served as a semantic identity of the image of the Great Mother in her functions of birth, protection, feeding, care. The iconography of the image of the cow goddess, who became the Heavenly Cow Nut, who raised the solar god Ra, has also been preserved. In Chapter 17 of the Book of the Dead, she appears as the Sacred Eye of Ra, which gives birth to the solar Ra every morning. The image of the Sacred Eye is involved in the water and fire elements of the cosmic top, like her distant ancestor the Great Mother, who created an integral, diverse world, all the elements of which, be it heavenly bodies, ground and underground objects, natural and social, are her children, her creations.

The Sleep Valuation Item Bank 2.0, Values Inventory, Monetary Sleep Value Scale and the Sleep Resilience Questionnaire were created to measure these constructs. Data from 455 U.S. adults were collected, capturing demographics, psychological factors (anxiety, depression), and sleep-related characteristics. This dataset includes questionnaires on sleep value and resilience, enabling researchers to explore important questions of sleep psychology, including, but not limited to: How are sleep and resilience related, and how can sleep resilience be harnessed improve psychological, biological, and social outcomes? How are psychological factors involved in the evaluation and treatment of sleep and circadian rhythm disorders? What role do sleep and circadian rhythms play in psychological functioning including motivation, emotion, cognition, and performance? How do psychosocial and cultural factors influence sleep and circadian health disparities?
Singularity Analysis in f(R) Gravity and f(Q) Gravity
Authors: CHEN WEN-XIANG
Published: November 2024

This paper systematically studies the singularity behavior in \( f(R) \) gravity and \( f(Q) \) gravity theories. By thoroughly deriving the gravitational equations and deeply analyzing the scalar curvature \( R \) and the asymmetry gravitational tensor \( Q \) under a spherically symmetric metric, we explore how the singular behaviors of these scalar fields in extreme conditions lead to the formation of singularities in the solutions of the gravitational equations. Furthermore, by comparing the modification terms and degrees of freedom in \( f(R) \) and \( f(Q) \) gravity, we analyze the impact of different functional forms on the gravitational field solutions and discuss the potential applications of these theories in cosmology and black hole physics. This paper also examines the effects of nonlinear corrections of scalar fields on dark energy and dark matter models, proposing related physical hypotheses and the possibilities for experimental verification.

Do Punitive Politicians Have a Better Chance of Getting Elected? A Secondary Analysis of Survy of Politicians and Voters in Japan
Authors: Mukai Tomoya
Published: November 2024

The theoretical framework of penal populism posits that the trend towards punitive penal policies is driven by a process whereby voters tend to elect punitive politicians and once elected, these politicians push for policies that are in line with their personal attitudes. However, the existence of such a mechanism has not yet been confirmed by empirical evidence. This study aims to clarify this mechanism by conducting a secondary analysis of Politician and Voter Surveys collected in Japan during the 2009 House of Representative elections: proportional representation and single-member constituency elections. The study seeks to answer the following three research questions: (1) Are politicians who support punitive policies more likely to be elected? (2) Do voters who support punitive policies tend to vote for political parties that also support punitive policies? and (3) Who tends to be more supportive of punitive policies, politicians or voters? The analysis of the study showed that: (1) politicians who were more supportive of punitive policies had a greater chance of being elected, (2) voters who supported punitive policies tended to vote for political parties that also supported them, and (3) voters were generally more supportive of punitive policies.

Since Citizens United, elections have witnessed an increasing number of candidate-focused advocacy ads (that are not sponsored by candidates). The literature addressing the effects of the increase in advocacy ads has largely focused on their financial dominance, leaving unclear the potential impact that such advocacy ads have on the decision-making processes of voters. In this research, we employ the framework of attitudinal ambivalence to explore experimentally the psychological influences of campaign ads by comparing the impact of candidate-sponsored and advocacy ads on viewers. Based on two studies, we find evidence that viewers perceive and evaluate campaign-related advocacy ads in much the same way as candidate-sponsored ads. However, we find evidence that PAC-sponsored ads generate higher levels of ambivalence as compared to candidate ads, which renders the measured link between attitudes and voting unpredictable.
Shepherding with Love: Apostle Peter's Guidance from 1 Peter 5:1-4 for Christian Educators
Authors: Sutarti Sutarti
Published: November 2024

Jesus Christ, as the Chief Shepherd (1 Peter 5:4), serves as the primary model for spiritual leaders in fulfilling their pastoral duties. In John 10:11, Jesus is portrayed as a faithful Shepherd who lovingly cares for His sheep and is even willing to sacrifice His life for them. After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples and gave a special commission to Peter to undertake the pastoral task (John 21:15-17), emphasizing that this duty is a sacred calling entrusted by God to be carried out according to His will. This study aims to examine the Apostle Peter's advice on shepherding in 1 Peter 5:1-4 and its relevance for Christian Educators. The research employs a qualitative method using literature review and biblical text analysis to identify leadership principles in shepherding. The findings reveal that the Apostle Peter's advice includes four key principles for a shepherd's ministry: serving willingly, being sincere in devotion, exhibiting humility, and being a good example to the congregation. These principles are considered essential for cultivating the spirituality of service for a Christian Educator who acts as a lecturer or teacher. In conclusion, the Apostle Peter's advice on shepherding provides guidance for spiritual leaders to fulfill their roles as Christian Educators in accordance with Christ's example, characterized by love, integrity, and dedication.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the importance of education and re-education for the proper use of the insulin pump (IP) in order to maintain stable glycemic control over an extended period.

Methods

The study was designed as a cross-sectional retrospective study. A total of 168 patients participated in a five-day structured education program in a small group. Following the initial education, 42 patients who met the criteria for continuation of IP treatment continued to be monitored every six months (period I). After six years of follow-up (period II) data from 36 patients were taken and analyzed. The data from the IP were downloaded from the IP Paradigm 754 "VEO" (Medtronic Inc., Illinois, USA) on the personal computer via the CareLink Pro software (Medtronic, Inc., Illinois).

Results

The number of patients using the bolus calculator (BC+) for at least 50% of all administered boluses remained high in both periods. However, BC+ patients statistically significantly increased their A1C value in period II. The average number of hypoglycemias was statistically significantly increased in the group of BC+ patients in period II compared to period I (p=0.009). The continuous glucose monitors (CGM) were used only in period II, so the number of hypoglycemias in period I were roughly estimated.

Conclusions

The long-term success of IP therapy primary depends on the proper use of the device, highlighting the importance of good education and regular re-education for both patients and health professionals. Advanced hybrid technology systems could be particularly in settings with poorly organized healthcare, where re-education is not routinely provided and diabetes control relies heavily on the patient engagement.
Failure mechanism and dynamic process of landslide triggered debris flows—an example from Chongqing, China
Authors: Wang Fen , Dai Zhenwei , Zhang Anle , Cheng Shi , Xiong Qihui
Published: November 2024

Shallow landslides and debris flows triggered by heavy rainfall are widespread catastrophic geological disasters in mountainous areas. Landslides with complex terrain are often the material source of debris flows as a disaster chain. However, the failure mechanism and dynamic process of landslide triggered debris flow are still not clear. In July 2023, an obvious rockslide occurred during heavy rainfall in Changtan Town, Chongqing City, Southwest China, resulting in one death and seven houses collapsed. In this paper, back analysis in the dynamic process of the Yanghuachi (YHC) landslide triggered debris flow is carried out by the coupled particle flow model and elastic viscoplastic model. The reults indicate that the sliding body moves downward along the sliding surface, pushing the loose deposits at the lower part of the landslide to slip and then extending along the gully to the right bank of the Modao River. The overall movement duration of the landslide in the study area is approximately 180 s, with a maximum sliding velocity of about 22.08 m/s and a final deposition thickness of approximately 10.91 m. This study provides a methodology for analyzing the dynamic process of landslide triggered debris flows.
A scoring model based on bacterial lipopolysaccharide-related genes to predict prognosis in NSCLC

Published: November 2024

Background

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has high incidence and mortality rates. The discovery of an effective biomarker for predicting prognosis and treatment response in patients with NSCLC is of great significance. Bacterial lipopolysaccharide-related genes (LRGs) play a critical role in tumor development and the formation of an immunosuppressive microenvironment; however, their relevance in NSCLC prognosis and immune features is yet to be discovered.

Methods

Differentially expressed LRGs associated with NSCLC prognosis were identified in the TCGA dataset. Prognostic LRG scoring and nomogram models were established using single-variable Cox regression, Least Absolute Shrinkage, and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression. The prognostic value of the scoring and nomogram models was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) analysis and further validated using an external dataset. Patients were stratified into high- and low-risk groups based on the nomogram score, and drug sensitivity analysis was performed. Additionally, clinical characteristics, mutation features, immune infiltration characteristics, and responses to immunotherapy were compared between the two groups.

Results

We identified 15 differentially expressed LRGs associated with NSCLC prognosis. A prognostic prediction model consisting of 6 genes (VIPR1, NEK2, HMGA1, FERMT1, SLC7A, and TNS4) was established. Higher LRG scores were associated with worse clinical prognosis and were independent prognostic factors for NSCLC. Subsequently, a clinical risk prediction nomogram model for NSCLC was constructed, incorporating the status of patients with tumor burden, tumor T-stage, and LRG scores. The nomogram model demonstrated good predictive performance upon validation. Additionally, NSCLC patients classified as high risk based on the model’s predictions exhibited not only a poorer prognosis but also a more pronounced inflammatory immune microenvironment phenotype than low-risk patients. Furthermore, high-risk patients showed disparate predicted responses to various drugs and immunotherapies compared with low-risk patients.

Conclusion

The LRGs scoring model can serve as a biomarker that contributes to the establishment of a reliable prognostic risk-prediction model, potentially facilitating the development of personalized treatment strategies for patients with NSCLC.
