Authors: Kwon Jeonga , Kwon Yeon Taek
Published: May 2024

Background: Adolescence is an important period of growth and development. We aimed to analyz the factors affecting the subjective health and physical fitness perceptions of Korean adolescents.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used data from 2,599 Korean adolescents who participated in the Korea National Life and Sports Surveys during 2020-2022, along with secondary data analysis. The study included frequency analysis of the demographic variables and chi-square tests to examine the relationship between the variables and subjective health and fitness perceptions. Multivariate logistic regression was also used to explore the factors affecting adolescent subjective perceptions.
Results: The study revealed significant factors influencing health perceptions in Korean adolescents, including male gender, lack of regular physical activity, adequate rest, adherence to a consistent diet, and use of nutritional supplements (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Key factors, such as rest, diet, and nutritional supplements should be considered while developing policies that support adolescent health. Unfortunately, there has been a decline in the physical activity of adolescents in Korea. Therefore, a variety of physical activity programs that consider the characteristics of each student need to be developed to address adolescent health issues.
Comparison of Triglyceride-Glucose Index between Patients with Gallstone and Healthy Individuals
Authors: Öztürk Semra Özkan
Published: May 2024

Background: Triglyceride-glucose index is a product of triglycerides and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and is a new index of insulin resistance found to correlate with direct measurements. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between gallstones and triglyceride-glucose index (TGI).
Methods: A total of 210 patients were included in this retrospective study. Overall, 105 patients with gallstones were included in the patient group. Patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic diseases, malignant diseases, and patients using cholesterol-lowering drugs were excluded from the study. Healthy individuals (105 cases) were selected for the control group. TGI was calculated separately for each individual using the following formula: (TGI) = ln (fasting TG (mg/dL) x fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2)
Results: Plasma triglyceride levels were significantly higher in patients with gallstones compared to the control group (P=0.001). Plasma HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol did not differ between the groups (P>0.05). Fasting blood glucose was significantly higher in patients with gallstones compared to the control group (P=0.001). The triglyceride glucose index was significantly higher in patients with gallstones compared to the control group (P<0.001). When the relationship between body mass index and TGI was analyzed, TGI was lower in patients with normal BMI compared to overweight or obese patients (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Increased triglyceride/glucose index in patients with gallstones is an indicator of insulin resistance. It is instrumental in demonstrating the presence of insulin resistance in patients with gallstones and may be a useful guide in earlier detection, prevention, and treatment of insulin resistance.

Authors: Wang Xue , Wang Hui , He Jing , Li Xia , Cang Yanhong
Published: May 2024

Background: We aimed to investigate the impact of multidisciplinary educational team-based clinical nursing pathway on the psychological resilience, treatment adherence, pain management and quality of life in cancer patients.
Methods: From 2019 to 2020, eighty two cancer patients were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the observational group. Both groups were treated with routine oncology nursing and the multidisciplinary educational team-based clinical nursing pathway, respectively. Psychological resilience, pain management and qualify of life were assessed by the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson resilience scale, revised American Pain Society Patient Outcome Questionnaire and the Nottingham health profile, respectively. Treatment adherence was semi-quantitatively classified as “good”, ”fair” and “bad”.
Results: Patient’s psychological resilience, compliance, pain outcome and quality of life were similar between the control group and the observational group on admission. Patient’s psychological resilience, compliance and pain outcome in the observational group were significantly superior to those in the control group one day prior to discharge and 2 months post-discharge (all P<0.05). The scores of energy, emotions, sleep and mobility were significantly different between the observational group and the control group one day prior to discharge and 2 months post-discharge (all P<0.05). Significant improvements were observed with regard to the scores of energy, sleep and mobility in the control group 2 months post-discharge, whereas the scores of energy, emotions, sleep and mobility improved dramatically in the observational group (all P<0.05).
Conclusion: Compared with routine oncology nursing, multidisciplinary educational team-based clinical nursing pathway could improve patient’s psychological resilience, treatment adherence, pain management and quality of life.

Published: May 2024

Background: This study presents estimates for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) burden and attributable risk factors in Iran from 1990–2019, using data from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease study.
Methods: This study reports prevalence, incidence, death, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), years of life lost (YLLs), and years lived with disability (YLDs) of T2DM in Iran, by sex, age, and province, from 1990 to 2019. We also present the T2DM burden attributable to risk factors. Results are reported in absolute number and age-standardized rates.
Results: Overall, the burden of T2DM had increased greatly since 1990. In 2019, the T2DM incidence and prevalence cases were 291,482 (a 374% increase) and 5,035,012 (a 417% increase) respectively. Moreover, the number of death and DALYs were 14,191 (a 488% increase) and 716,457 (a 417% increase) respectively. DALYs and YLDs in women were consistently higher than men were, whereas women experienced slower increases in YLLs from 1990 to 2019. The age-standardized DALYs rate increased for all Iranian provinces during study period. High body-mass index, ambient particulate matter pollution, and low physical activity remained the three major attributable risk factors in all provinces in 2019.
Conclusion: T2DM constitutes a major health burden in Iran. The remarkable upsurge in the T2DM burden represents an ongoing challenge, given the rapidly aging population in Iran. Thus, integrated and multi-sectoral actions that decrease exposure to risk factors and improve the prevention and early diagnosis are needed.
Long non-coding RNA UCA1 Knockdown Assisted by CRISPR/Cas9 in Female Cancer Cell Lines Increases Mir-143 Tumor-Suppressor
Authors: Montazeri-Najafabadi Behshad , Doosti Abbas , Kiani Jafar
Published: May 2024

Background: The lncRNAs has been linked to several malignancies, including breast cancer. Our objective was to investigate the impact of urothelial carcinoma associated 1 (UCA1) on cellular growth and death by a CRISPR/Cas9 knockdown technique.
Methods: In 2020, the CHOPCHOP program was utilized to design two sgRNAs targeting the UCA gene. sgRNA1 and sgRNA2 were inserted into two different CRISPR plasmids to produce two recombinant plasmids. These recombinant plasmids were simultaneously transfected into MCF-7 and MDA-MB 231 carcinoma of the breast cells. Proliferation and apoptosis were compared using the MTT test, CCK-8 assay, and flow cytometry evaluation. RNA-hybrid software, quantitative reverse transcription PCR, and luciferase assays were utilized to confirm the relationship between UCA1 and miR-143.
Results: Proliferated cells were less active in MTT and CCK-8 tests and fellow cytometry analysis. The PX459-sgRNA1,2 group had elevated levels of the cancer biomarker Caspase-3 gene expression (P<0.001). When WT-UCA1 and miR-143 were co-transfected, the luciferase activity was drastically decreased.
Conclusion: One very effective method of regulating cellular proliferation in vitro is the deletion of UCA1, which CRISPR/Cas9 accomplishes.
Susceptibility Status of Several Field-Collected German Cockroaches (Blattella germanica) to a Pyrethroid Insecticide and Molecular Detection of Knockdown Resistance (kdr)
Authors: Dashti Kamal , Gholizadeh Saber , Zaim Morteza , Baniardalani Mozhgan , Basseri Hamidreza
Published: May 2024

Background: High frequency of insecticide used to control German cockroaches may lead to insecticide resistance development. We aimed to compare the level of insecticide resistance and heterogeneity in insecticide resistance of field-collected German cockroaches in eight selected zones of Mashhad City, Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran.
Methods: The present study was conducted from October 2019 to May 2021. Adult and nymphs of German cockroaches were collected from infested restaurants or hotels in eight zones of Mashhad City and then colonized in an insectarium. The cockroaches were subjected to bioassay against cypermethrin insecticide. In addition, the genomic DNA of each cockroach population was analyzed in the region where the kdr mutations reside in the German cockroach.
Results: The LT50 values against cypermethrin in the susceptible strain (SS) and eight field-collected strains so varied from 17.52 to 95.36 min. The resistance ratio of the strains was also different in response to the insecticide. The similarity of multiple sequence alignments at the amino acid level was 97.5%-100%. An exon 20 transversion mutation and a nonsynonymous substitution were found. The L1014F substitution was detected in 83.4% of the cockroach samples.
Conclusion: The field-collected strains were resistant to cypermethrin at different levels. Furthermore, the molecular study confirms the heterogeneity in the level of resistance among eight strains. Therefore, eight strains might have a different history of insecticide treatment.

ELECTRICAL SWITCHING IN GLASS-CERAMIC STRUCTURES BASED ON VANADIUM DIOXIDE
Authors: Kolbunov V. R. , Trubitsyn M. P. , Diachenko A. O.
Published: May 2024

The changes in electric current during the switching of vanadium dioxide-based glass-ceramic samples from the off-state to the on-state and vice versa were studied in this paper. The delay in the transition from the off-state to the on-state when a switching voltage U0 is applied to the glass-ceramic sample is related to the time tdon required to heat it to the metal-semiconductor phase transition temperature in VO2. The delay time tdon decreases with increasing U0. It was found that the delay of the reverse transition from on-state to off-state is controlled by the current cord within which the VO2 crystallites of the glass-ceramics are in the metal phase. The delay time t doff of this transition determines the time during which the current cord exists in the VO2 glass-ceramic sample after the voltage U0 is switched off. The value of tdoff increases as U0 increases.

İşitsel nöropati spektrum bozukluğu anormal işitsel beyin sapı cevabı ve korunmuş otoakustik emisyon cevapları ile karakterize işitme siniri boyunca bozulmuş sinyal işleme ya da sinyalin iç tüylü hücrelerden işitme sinirine yetersiz iletilmesidir. İşitsel nöropati spektrum bozukluğu doğumsal olduğu gibi postlingual olarak da gelişebilir. İşitsel nöropatide karşılaşılan işitme eşiklerindeki değişimler fonksiyonel işitme kaybıyla da karışabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada işitme azlığı ve konuşmayı anlama problemi yaşayan ilk aşamada fonksiyonel işitme kaybı düşünülen ancak işitsel nöropati spektrum bozukluğu tanısı alan 64 yaşındaki olgunun ayırıcı tanıda kullanılan odyolojik değerlendirmeleri ve test sonuçları irdelenmiştir.
KAN GAZLARI, BİYOKİMYA VE KAN SAYIM CİHAZLARINDA ÖLÇÜLEN SODYUM, POTASYUM VE HEMOGLOBİN DEĞERLERİNİN TOTAL İZİN VERİLEN HATA SINIRLARINA GÖRE DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: Uysal Serap , Kuzu Kaan , Bozkaya Giray
Published: May 2024

Giriş: Çalışmamızda biyokimya, kan sayım ve kan gazı cihazlarında eş zamanlı ölçülen sodyum, potasyum ve hemoglobin değerlerinin %95 güven aralığının hesaplanması ve toplam izin verilen hata sınırları ile karşılaştırılması amaçlandı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastanemize 2021 Eylül-Kasım aylarında başvuran 2341 hastanın sodyum, potasyum ve hemoglobin değerleri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Kan gazı cihazlarından eş zamanlı elde edilen sonuçlar, biyokimya ve kan sayım cihazından elde edilen veriler ile karşılaştırıldı. Sodyum testi, 136 mmol/L’nin altındaki değerleri için hiponatremi, 136-145 mmol/L değerleri için normonatremi, 145 mmol/L’nin üzerindeki değerleri için hipernatremi olacak şekilde gruplandırıldı. Potasyum testi, 3,5 mmol/L’nin altındaki değerleri için hipopotasemi, 3,5-5,1 mmol/L değerleri için normopotasemi, 5,1 mmol/L’nin üzerindeki değerleri için hiperpotasemi olacak şekilde gruplandırıldı. Hemoglobin testi ise kadın ve erkekler için Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’nün belirlediği değerlere göre gruplandırıldı. Her bir alt grup için “%Bias + Z x Ortalamanın standart hatası” formülüne göre %95 güven aralığı hesaplandı ve toplam izin verilen hata sınırları ile karşılaştırıldı.
Bulgular: Sodyumun tüm düzeyleri ile hemoglobinin sadece yüksek düzeylerinin %95 güven aralığı değerleri, toplam izin verilen hata sınırları dışında bulunduğu için uyumlu olmadığı görüldü.
Sonuç: Elde edilen %95 güven aralığı değerleri, sodyum ve hemoglobin sonuçlarının hastanın klinik durumuna göre değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini göstermiştir. Elde edilen farklı sonuçların numunelerin farklı cihazlarla analiz edilmesinden kaynaklandığı düşünülmüştür. Ayrıca hastaların takibinde farklı cihaz sonuçlarının karşılaştırılmaması gerektiği de unutulmamalıdır.
Ethnical Anthropomorphism in Human-Robot Interaction: Personalized Robot Tutors
Authors: van de Hoef Annemae
Published: May 2024

Social robots are becoming increasingly relevant in education, for example, by using them as tutors. To create a more empathetic and engaging learning environment, it is important to consider the anthropomorphism of these social robots. However, an ethnic perspective on the use of anthropomorphization is still lacking when it comes to improving learning gains. Therefore, this research focuses on whether personalized, ethnicity-based anthropomorphization of a robot can enhance learning gains. To this end, history lessons were tutored with a Furhat robot, with groups of participants interacting with a Furhat whose face matched the ethnicity of the participants, in an experimental setting. Our results showed that participants who interacted with the robot displaying the personalized, ethnicity-based anthropomorphization learned more than participants interacting with a robot displaying a robotic appearance. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating cultural diversity into educational technologies to foster more effective and inclusive learning environments.

Authors: Edelman Kristel , Franzen Riikka , Wahlström Irina , Tsvetkova Anastasia , Chen Yiran
Published: May 2024

This paper explores how smart city is defined by citizens in the context of a port city, and which aspects are prominent due to the significant role of a ferry port in such cities. Through a case study of a port city comprising a survey of its citizens, this research investigates citizens’ perceptions of a smart city, contextualised in the actual use of the area close to the port and expectations towards the development of this area. Utilizing thematic analysis of survey data, key themes identified include traffic, environmental sustainability, technology and digitalization, and the importance of focusing on people, their wellbeing and quality of life. The findings emphasise the citizens’ wish for prioritising environmental sustainability and wellbeing in the development of the smart city in a context of a port city and show that improvements in traffic around the port area and urban planning are seen as most topical.

¿Qué es convivir en pareja? Los supuestos espaciales de la Corte Suprema colombiana en casos de pensión de sobrevivientes
Authors: Rodríguez Morales Andrés
Published: May 2024

En este artículo utilizo la geografía legal para analizar la forma en que la jurisprudencia de la Sala de Casación Laboral de la Corte Suprema de Justicia de Colombia asume imaginarios espaciales sobre el estándar probatorio de la convivencia en pareja. El patrón fáctico elegido es el estudio del posible reconocimiento de la pensión de sobrevivientes para la pareja del causante, para lo cual presento dos argumentos. En primer lugar, que los supuestos espaciales sobre los que se construye el concepto de convivencia en pareja son contradictorios. En segundo lugar, que tratándose de la existencia de las relaciones sexuales en el marco de la relación de pareja, la Corte Suprema utiliza el binario público/privado, tradicionalmente utilizado para oprimir a las mujeres, para emanciparlas.

Günümüz Avrupa siyaseti kendi içerisinde bir dönüşüme uğramaktadır. Bu dönüşüm yavaş olmakla birlikte aşırı sağ partiler lehine yeni bir siyasal eğilim oluşturma aşamasındadır. Önceki dönemlerde siyasi yelpazenin uç kısımlarında yer alan aşırı sağ partiler günümüz Avrupa’sında ana akım partiler ile koalisyon hükümetleri içerisinde yer alabilecek pozisyona ulaşmışlardır. Bu bağlamda, çalışmanın temel araştırma sorusu; ekonomik kriz, göçmen krizi, İslamofobi ve küreselleşmenin Fransa, İtalya, Hollanda ve İsveç’te aşırı sağ partilerin yükselişini etkileyip etkilemediğidir. Araştırma sorusu kapsamında durum çalışması yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Ortaya çıkan sonuca göre belirtilen faktörlerin herbirinin aşırı sağ partilerin yükselişinde önemli etmen oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında ele alınan Avrupa’daki aşırı sağ partilerin yükselişi incelendiğinde bu yükselişin özellikle ekonomik, sosyal ve kültürel dinamiklerin karmaşık etkileşiminin bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıktığı görülmektedir.

Kimlik ve Kültürlerarası Etkileşim: “The Visitor” Filmine Sosyolojik Bir Bakış
Authors: Ağırman Zehra
Published: May 2024

Farklı kimliklerin tanınması ve kültürel farklara hoşgörülü bir biçimde yaklaşılmasını talep eden azınlık gruplarının varlığı, çok uluslu devletlerin birlikte yaşama problemine yönelik çeşitli politikalar geliştirmesine neden olmuştur. Belli ülkeler birlikte yaşamayı ve farklılıklara hoşgörü ile yaklaşmayı hedefleyen çokkültürcü politikalar geliştirirken Amerika gibi ülkeler devlet politikalarını çokkültürcü bir modele dayandırmak yerine farklılıkları kendi içerisinde eritip kendisine özgü tek bir kültür oluşturmaya çalışmıştır. Bu anlamda Amerika’nın çokkültürlü ancak çokkültürcü olmadığını söylemek mümkündür.
Bu makalede, 2007 Amerikan yapımı olan ve Thomas McCarthy'nin yönetmenliğini üstlendiği "The Visitor" filmi söylem analizi bağlamında değerlendirilecektir. Film, Walter Vale adlı Amerikalı profesörün, Suriyeli göçmen Tarek ve Senegalli kız arkadaşı Zainab ile tesadüfen karşılaşması sonucu gelişen olayları konu almaktadır. Ayrıca 11 Eylül saldırılarının ardından Amerikan halkının aldığı derin güvenlik önlemlerini ve karşılaştığı her farklı kimliği kendisinin radikal ötekisi olan terörist kimliği ile eşleştirişini ele alırken; bu saldırılar sonrasında ortaya çıkan farklı etnik grup ve farklı kültürler arasındaki pozitif etkileşimleri ve göçmenlik deneyimlerini de gözler önüne sermektedir. Sonuç olarak film, kültürel karşılaşmaların karmaşıklığını ve bu süreçte müziğin oynadığı rolü anlatarak, ayrılıkların ve farklılaşmaların birer zenginlik biçiminde hissedilmesi gerektiği mesajını okuyucuya iletmektedir.
Percepción de los padres sobre su representación en la publicidad de productos de higiene infantil
Authors:   , Chuquimamani Quispe Aldo Adolph
Published: May 2024

El siguiente artículo tiene como objetivo principal conocer la percepción que tienen los padres de familia sobre los roles de la paternidad representados en la publicidad peruana de productos infantiles mediante la campaña publicitaria “Nuevos Pantalones Huggies Active Sec” de la marca Huggies. Por lo tanto, se utilizó la metodología de investigación cualitativa a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los resultados concluyeron que los padres perciben positivamente a los modelos de paternidad representados en la publicidad de productos infantiles, ya que generan gran identificación con ellos por la sensibilidad que demuestran estas representaciones. No obstante, ellos también señalan que este tipo de representación todavía es poca y que no representa a todos los padres de familia en su totalidad, ya que no todos se comportan de manera similar al modelo mencionado y aún existen estereotipos machistas de padres en los anuncios publicitarios. Por eso, es necesario que cada vez más marcas opten por representar al padre de familia como alguien más expresivo e involucrado en la crianza de los hijos para generar un mensaje más atractivo e innovador que se aleje de los clásicos estereotipos de padre machista.

Tracing the Linguistic Roots of Malay and Batak Languages in Sumatra Island: A Historical Comparative Study
Authors: Meliana Riska , Manalu Manna Maria Sopiana , Triyono Sulis
Published: May 2024

Previous research in comparative historical linguistics has traditionally focused on languages within a single region, overlooking cognate languages in other areas. This study seeks to rectify this by quantitatively and qualitatively describing the kinship between Rejang, Serawai, Lembak (Bengkulu), and Toba, Mandailing, and Nias (North Sumatra) languages. It aims to unearth empirical evidence regarding the timing of divergence between Malay and Batak languages, as well as the grouping of languages and the percentage of kinship between Bengkulu Province and North Sumatra Province. Utilizing Morris Swadesh's lexicostatistics and glottochronology methods, the research evaluates word kinship based on a fundamental 150-word list. Results indicate significant differences among the six languages, particularly with Rejang and Nias displaying low similarity levels, falling below 30% and not even reaching 10%, respectively. The percentage of kinship between local language pairs in Bengkulu and North Sumatra Province averages at 22.66%, classifying them under the "Family stock" category, indicating identical word correlations despite differing phonetic elements. Glottochronological calculations estimate the separation time between Malay and Batak languages to range from 419 to 3,289 BC. This research significantly enhances understanding of regional language kinship and linguistic diversity.

Formation of the Spectral Composition of the Output Voltage of Converters for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Authors: Zahranychnii Artur Volodymyrovych
Published: May 2024

In this paper, we consider the construction of an asynchronous control system for semiconductor converters for nuclear magnetic resonance. The relevance of research in this direction, main problems that arise during the construction of these systems are shown. Derived the mathematical model of the inverter, on the basis of which a control system with asynchronous pulse-width modulation is constructed. Proposed an equivalent converter circuit with a constant structure, constant parameters, and an equivalent EMF generator. Established correspondence between the equivalent circuit of the converter and its mathematical model in the form of differential equations. On the basis of mathematical equations, a structural diagram of the converter with a control system was developed and the principle of operation of the device was described according to it. To develop an algorithm for the control system, the dependence of the frequency change relative to the resonant frequency on the phase shift between the current through the filter and the voltage on the antenna circuit is determined. For which the model was built in Simulink and the corresponding simulation was carried out. Numerical dependences of reference signal frequency change and phase shift were obtained. The increase in efficiency of device for nuclear magnetic resonance is considered due to the use of multilevel inverters with tuning the frequency of operation to the frequency of the resonant circuit. Simulation of a three-level diode-clamped inverter showed that when the capacitance of the resonant circuit changes and, therefore, the resonant frequency of the circuit, the input current increases. The work obtained specific numerical dependencies. Time diagrams of voltages and currents on the main elements of the converter are given, which illustrate the implementation asynchronous pulse-width modulation in the control system. After working out the automatic frequency control algorithm, the increase in current consumption can be leveled off. The simulation results also show that it is possible to reduce the amplitude of the third harmonic. The disadvantages of the proposed system include the fact that the frequency of the converter is adjusted at each subsequent period of its operation. At the same time, the parameters of the filter can change again, which leads us to believe that adjusting the frequency will never give a 100% result, but will only allow to get as close as possible to the set parameters of the sounding signal. The work also indicates that it is possible to improve the spectral composition of the probing voltage generated by the converter by using more levels of a diode-clamped multi-level inverter. However, increasing the number of levels reduces the action speed of the system and complicates the control system itself. Therefore, the need to maintain a balance between the number of levels of the inverter and the complexity of the system is indicated.

Published: May 2024

IEEE 802.11 wireless network technologies are widely used to create corporate and personal local networks for data exchange and access to Internet resources. The main principle of operation of IEEE 802.11 networks is the principle of competitive access, according to which all wireless network users have the same access rights to the information transmission environment. This method of access leads to the occurrence of collisions in networks with a large number of users, which complicates the process of network functioning and leads to the degradation of quality indicators. The purpose of the study is to estimate the limit values of the operational characteristics of the IEEE 802.11 ac wireless network in the mode with the highest transmission rate (MCS8) in a frequency channel of 20 MHz with one spatial stream, provided that the network has a significant number of active stations with a saturated load. An alternative model of processes in IEEE 802.11 networks based on the concept of a virtual competitive window is used for research. According to the concept of virtual contention window (VCW), the process of data transmission in a network with competitive access is considered as a quasi-stationary process. Numerical data were obtained and graphs of channel bandwidth, transmission delay, and delay non-uniformity were given in the presence of one to sixteen active stations with a saturated load in the network, in the case of transmission of frames with a data volume of 512 or 1500 bytes. The maximum possible bandwidth of the channel with a frequency band of 20 MHz (68.387 bit/s) was determined, in the case of using frames with the maximum load (11454 bytes) provided by the standard. Estimated data on the number of collisions occurring in a network with a saturated load and the number of frames transmitted at various stages of channel access are also provided. The frame transmission delay increases almost proportionally to the number of active stations and varies from 0.605 ms to 5.293 ms, in the case of loading all data frames of 512 bytes, and from 0.785 to 6.41 ms, in the case of a load of 1500 bytes, for changes in the number of active stations in the network from 2 to 16. The unevenness of the delay exceeds the average delay and grows non-linearly, in the case of an increase in the number of active stations from 1 to 6 (CWmin=15), and linearly — with a further increase in the number of stations (over 6). The obtained results are useful for reasonable planning of wireless networks and configuration of network equipment parameters.

Published: May 2024

Background: Inflammation is an essential innate immune response aimed at antigen elimination and preventing their spread. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) and bangle (Zingiber cassumunar) rhizomes have been empirically utilized as medicinal components due to their anti-inflammatory potential. However, the combined efficacy of these rhizomes has not been previously explored.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory activity of a combination of ginger and bangle rhizome extracts.
Method: Ginger and bangle rhizomes were individually subjected to extraction through maceration with 96% ethanol, followed by purification with n-hexane. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated via motility tests on subjects administered orally with 1% CMC-Na (control), diclofenac sodium (4.5 mg/kg body weight), ginger ethanol extract (200 mg/kg body weight), bangle ethanol extract (400 mg/kg body weight), and a combination of both extracts (100:200 mg/kg body weight). Observations were made over 6 hours, with motility scores subsequently analyzed using ANOVA and the LSD test for statistical significance.
Results: Treatments involving ginger extract, bangle extract, and their combination significantly improved motility scores compared to the negative control. Furthermore, these treatments displayed no significant difference in effectiveness compared to the diclofenac sodium group (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The combined ethanol extracts of ginger and bangle rhizomes demonstrate anti-inflammatory activity comparable to diclofenac sodium, as evidenced by motility score evaluations. This suggests their potential as alternative anti-inflammatory agents.

Published: May 2024

This study aims to examine community-based water resources management implemented in Umbul Ponggok Village, Klaten Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, based on the Water Resources Law (2019) and was subsequently modified by the Job Creation Law (2023), which prioritizes the well-being of the local community and in order to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs), especially the principle of No.-One Left Behind. Community involvement in water resources management is very important. Therefore, communities no longer only act as consumers but also as those who determine their own needs for water resources. One area that has implemented this approach is the community in Ponggok Village, Klaten Regency. Therefore, this study addressed the compliance of the community-based water resource management in Ponggok Village, Klaten Regency, with the existing regulations. The study also determined whether the community complies with the principles of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a juridical-empirical method. Data was collected through documentation and interviews, and qualitatively analyzed. The result showed that the practices of water resource management in Ponggok Village aligned with existing regulations. However, a notable gap existed in adhering to reporting regulations, attributed to a lack of awareness among the village apparatus. Then, the water resource management in Ponggok Village has fully aligned with the current regulations and the SDGs' principles.
Criminal Sanction Reduction Policy: Mental and Intellectual Disabilities Review from the Purpose of Punishment
Authors: Hutabarat Rugun Romaida
Published: May 2024

In the realm of criminal law, it is acknowledged that criminal offenses may be perpetrated by a broad spectrum of individuals, including those with disabilities, spanning both mental and intellectual realms. The term “disability” includes individuals with physical or intellectual impairments who could not previously be sanctioned. However, Law No. 1 of 2023 has provided for the imposition of sanctions for people with mental or intellectual impairments. This study employs a normative research methodology, utilizing a statutory approach through the examination of various literature and journals focused on criminal law policy. Specifically, it addresses the implementation of incarceration for individuals with mental and intellectual disabilities. Through descriptive-analytical methods, this research highlights that Article 38 of the New Criminal Code expands the scope of criminal sanctions applicable to individuals with mental and intellectual disabilities. This provision appears to be at odds with Article 44 of the Criminal Code, which exempts persons with such disabilities from criminal liability, suggesting a contradiction where Article 38 permits the application of reduced penalties. The conclusion posits that while individuals with disabilities might be seen as not fully accountable under certain circumstances, leading to exemption from criminal penalties, a human rights perspective advocates for prioritizing social rehabilitation.
The Prospects For Equitable Sharia Insurance Dispute Resolution In An Ideal Arrangement, Basyarnas, Indonesia.
Authors: Hartati Sawitri Yuli , Windiani Arovah , Mardani Mardani
Published: May 2024

The contract between sharia insurance companies and policyholders is based on sharia principles, namely helping each other to protect each other. However, if disputes still occur,a resolution can be reached through mediation, sharia arbitration, and the courts. The problem in this research is how practices and obstacles resolve sharia insurance disputes through sharia arbitration institutions and how, ideally, arrangements in sharia insurance cases through sharia arbitration institutions can be resolved. The research methods used an analytical perspective, namely an investigation aiming to provide an overview or formulate a problem according to existing circumstances/facts. So it is necessary to revise the Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution Law (1999), especially Article 61, Article 62, Article 63, Article 64, and Article 65, to regulate the scope, duties, and functions of sharia arbitration by considering the use of virtual arbitration processes in developing sharia arbitration as a special, authoritative, and independent arbitration forum.
