Authors: Lisa Dinda Yunita  , Ema Utami  , Ainul Yaqin
Published: September 2023

Driving behavior significantly influences road safety. Unsafe driving behaviors, such as driving under the influence, speeding, and using mobile phones, can lead to serious accidents and fatalities. This research aims to observe driving characteristics by utilizing smartphone motion sensor data. The data collection method involved recording the driver’s smartphone motion sensor during trips. The data were then exported from the system for further processing. The main objective of this study is to process the data by creating a classification model with the best performance in handling smartphone motion sensor data. The results of this research are expected to be implementable models to address road safety issues in the future. Additionally, by utilizing driver characteristic detection technology, awareness of safe driving practices can be enhanced. The research methodology used data mining with machine learning classification modeling using random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and decision tree (DT) methods. The test results indicate that the RF model performed the best with an accuracy of 91.22%. Furthermore, this study found that speed was the most influential factor in identifying safe or unsafe driving behavior. The developed classification model shows the potential to improve traffic management efficiency and contribute to safer transportation. By leveraging driver characteristic detection technology, it is hoped that awareness of safe driving practices will increase, leading to a safer road environment.
Sustainability and Old Age: A Discarded Wealth
Authors: Antonio COSSIGA Dott. Giovanni
Published: September 2023

Well, it is important that the elderly who are a good percentage of humanity can carry out their function in forming the guidelines of the communities. Therefore, their marginalization which excludes from the world of work with advancing age must be criticized. It is noted anyway that the current political leaderships are far from worrying about the issue of the elderly but are attracted by controversial issues in search of consensus for power. A model therefore that can create disagreements and discords in the social sphere and not unity of address. Unity of address which, on the other hand, is necessary for the formation of majorities within the community. On the other hand, we are on the eve of the evolution towards the complete neutrality of our presence on the planet. A passage that requires everyone’s attention and commitment, including the elderly, to research and science, both to mitigate the damage of global warming and to prepare for the turning point imposed by the complete neutrality of intelligent beings from evolution of the planet. A passage that will bring major social changes for the potential acceleration of development and the smooth transition from the long era of scarcity to the not-so-distant future of abundance. The prospects offered by the ongoing evolution would make it necessary to make structural changes to societies, which should rely on the opinions of the majority of communities for general guidelines in economics. Let us not forget that the anomalies of the business cycle are first felt by the communities who change investment and consumption decisions as a result of their intuition and in coherence with the universal laws that administrate the universe and at the same time influence the development of the economy. The need for a quasi-constitutional law is strongly recalled reducing tensions between social classes, rich and poor, the elderly and the new generations and so on.
Motivation and International Posture among College Students in China
Authors: Xing Rong
Published: September 2023

This study investigates the relationship between motivation and International Posture among Chinese college students learning English. Examining the Ideal Self, Ought-to Self, Learning Experience, and four aspects of International Posture, the research reveals distinct patterns. Students display stronger motivation when aligned with their ideal language self but are less motivated by external pressures and classroom experience. While showing moderate interest in international activities, they express less enthusiasm for inter-group interactions. Notably, a significant and positive correlation exists between motivation and international posture. These findings emphasize the need to cultivate intrinsic motivation and enhance international engagement within language education, empowering students for effective global communication.
El debate sobre el pacto social en la revista Novos Estudos
Authors: Reano Ariana
Published: September 2023

El objetivo de este artículo es ampliar y continuar un trabajo en perspectiva comparada que recupere los debates ideológico-políticos de las transiciones democráticas en el sur de América Latina pensándolas, a diferencia de los clásicos trabajos de la ciencia política, como un contexto de debate de ideas en la clave que nos sugiere la nueva historia intelectual. Para ello, vamos a recuperar el debate de ideas en la revista Novos Estudos en torno a cómo operó la figura del pacto para pensar la transición democrática en Brasil. Nos proponemos indagar cuál es la especificidad que adquiere el “pacto social”, qué dimensiones incorpora y en qué se diferencia de otros tipos de pacto presentes en otras experiencias transicionales. Esto nos permitirá avanzar en nuestra hipótesis sobre la existencia de un lenguaje político común sobre el cual se pensaron las (re) construcciones democráticas del Cono Sur.
El arielismo boliviano
Authors: Sanjines C. Javier
Published: September 2023

Pensamos erradamente que el costumbrismo es una corriente literaria vetusta que se contrapone a las narrativas surgidas de nuevas técnicas de narrar creadas por la modernidad. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo incomodar dicha percepción. Apartándose de la supuesta objetividad realista del costumbrismo, el trabajo afirma la influencia del Ariel de Rodó en el pensamiento de Carlos Medinaceli, el principal escritor costumbrista boliviano, cuya novela La Chaskañawi ayuda a observar algo no detectado hasta hoy: las aproximaciones históricas y sociológicas de esta corriente literaria se quedan cortas cuando se trata de explicar la presencia soterrada y sorpresiva de formas figurativas ocultas que cuestionan la realidad. El método que permite rescatar esta imaginería (motivos literarios, mitos y silencios) no corresponde al de las ciencias nomotéticas que se fundan en leyes causales y explicativas, sino a procedimientos arqueológicos que escarban en el pasado las mutantes formas imaginarias que conflictúan el proceso social.Palabras clave: Costumbrismo; Objetividad realista; Subjetividad figurativa; Formas mutantes.

Authors: Wahyuni Sri , Ritonga Mahyudin , Fitriani Reni , Pitrianto Hendri , Adam Zalika
Published: September 2023

This study aimed to reveal the use of word-chain games as a strategy in teaching Arabic spaking skill (maharah al-kalam) . This study used a qualitative approach where data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The qualitative analysis methodologies of Miles and Huberman were used for this study. Qualitative analysis consists of three steps after data collection: data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing or verification. Based on the results, maharah al-kalam learning using word chain games has an impact on the quality of the process, as evidenced by increased results. Students become more active, and their motivation increases. Improving the quality of the learning process is evidenced by the active participation of students in responding to teacher statements as well as their enthusiasm in perfecting sentences spoken by other groups. Learning outcomes are getting better, but fluency and memorization of vocabulary cannot be improved using the word chain game. According to observers and practitioners of Arabic language education, word chains have an impact on teaching speaking skills; therefore, it is important to explain their use in Ilamic Junior High School (Madrasah Tsanawiyah).

Published: September 2023

Pancreatic cancer is a carcinoma with a poor prognosis due to a high mortality rate. There are 10 cases in the 1,00,000 population per annum. Surgical intervention, Chemo & radiotherapy are the conventional measures to treat these conditions. However, due to the specific side effects of Chemo & radiotherapy, search strategies for the Safest Ayurvedic intervention are highly needed. The prime aim of this paper is to study the efficacy of Ayurvedic treatment in managing the side effects of Chemotherapy in pancreatic Carcinoma of a male patient. In a single case study, a patient diagnosed with CA Pancrease was advised for Chemo-Radiation therapy. However, the severity of the complaints, such as Anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and epigastric pain, worsened after one of Chemotherapy & remained throughout the day. Despite taking the antacid suggested by the oncologist, there was no relief in symptoms. Therefore, a patient approached Ayurvedic Chikitsa. Shamana Ayurvedic Chikitsa (Praval Pishti, Gulvel Satva, Suvarna Sootshekhar Rasa, Moutikta Kamdudha & Chandrakala Rasa) for six consecutive monthswas prescribed. After 3-5 days, the patient has observed significant relief in the above symptoms & he was able to take his regular diet. The frequency of vomiting was also reduced significantly. After six months of standard treatment, his weight also improved. Three sittings of Chemo & radiotherapy were completed without any hurdles & no associated side effects. The selected combination of all Ayurvedic medicines induces relief in symptoms due to their Agnidipak, Vata-Pitta Shamak Chhardighna, Yakrutotejjak&Rasayana properties. In the present case report, the above said Ayurvedic prescription significantly induces relief in side-effects of Chemo & radiotherapy due to its Pitta Shamak&Agnivardhaka effects.

Effects of the Valsartan Recall on Heart Failure Patients: A Nationwide Analysis
Authors: Suda Katie J. , W Joshua Devine , Tadrous Mina , Hernandez Inmaculada , Mukhopadhyay Nandita , D Scott Rothenberger , Kim Katherine Callaway , Gellad Walid F.
Published: September 2023

Background: Valsartan is commonly used for cardiac conditions.
In 2018, the Food and Drug Administration recalled generic valsartan due
to the detection of impurities. Our objective was to determine if heart
failure patients receiving valsartan at the recall date had a greater
likelihood of unfavorable outcomes than patients using comparable
antihypertensives. Methods: We conducted a cohort study of
Optum’s de-identified Clinformatics® Datamart (July 2017-January 2019).
Heart failure patients with commercial or Medicare Advantage insurance
who received valsartan were compared to persons who received
non-recalled angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin
converting enzyme-inhibitors (ACE-Is) for 1 year prior and including the
recall date. Outcomes included a composite for all-cause
hospitalization, emergency department (ED), and urgent care (UC) use and
a measure of cardiac events which included hospitalizations for acute
myocardial infarction and hospitalizations/ED/UC visits for
stroke/transient ischemic attack, heart failure or hypertension at
6-months post-recall. Cox proportional hazard models with propensity
score weighting compared the risk of outcomes between groups.
Results: Of the 87,130 patients, 15% were valsartan users and
85% were users of non-recalled ARBs/ACE-Is. Valsartan use was not
associated with an increased risk of all-cause hospitalization/ED/UC use
six-months post-recall (HR 1.00; 95%CI 0.96–1.03), compared with
individuals taking non-recalled ARBs/ACE-Is. Similarly, cardiac events
6-months post-recall did not differ between individuals on valsartan and
non-recalled ARBs/ACE-Is (HR 1.04; 95%CI 0.97–1.12).
Conclusions: The valsartan recall did not affect short-term
outcomes of heart failure patients. However, the recall potentially
disrupted the medication regimens of patients, possibly straining the
healthcare system.
Postprandial hyperglycaemia screening and pregnancy outcomes-lessons from COVID-19: a data linkage study.
Authors: Bastian Beenu , Pape Alexia , Kunjunju Ansar , Smithers Lisa Gaye , Francois Monique
Published: September 2023

Objective To describe the maternal and neonatal outcomes of pregnant
women with fasting blood glucose <4.7 mmol/L for whom the
diagnosis and treatment pathways differed due to COVID-19. Design,
setting and population. An Australian population-based data linkage
study involving 3891 women. Methods: Pregnant women with fasting blood
glucose <4.7 mmol/L between 24-32 weeks of gestation were
categorized into three groups: women diagnosed with gestational diabetes
by postprandial hyperglycaemia (PPGDM; n= 226); normal glucose tolerance
group (NGT; n= 3125) and women not tested for postprandial
hyperglycaemia, mostly during COVID-19 (LFBG; n= 540). The maternal and
neonatal outcomes between groups were compared using generalized linear
models. Main outcome measures: Risk of Large for gestational age baby.
Results: Mean difference in birth weight (-115 grams, 95%CI -175.5—
-32.6) and z-scores (-0.11, 95%CI -0.26— 0.02) were lower in the
PPGDM group compared to the LFBG group. However, there were no
differences between PPGDM and LFBG groups in the risk of large for
gestational age (LGA) infants (RR: 1.09, 95%CI 0.66— 1.78). The
maternal and neonatal outcomes in the LFBG group were comparable to the
NGT group. Conclusion: The risk of LGA was similar across all groups
regardless of post prandial glycemia and its treatment. Overall, women
with a fasting blood glucose <4.7 mmol/L can be considered as
a low-risk group for adverse perinatal outcomes.

Published: September 2023

Increasing human pressures threaten fish diversity, with potentially
severe but unknown consequences to the functioning of riverine food
webs. Using a 17-years dataset from multi-trophic fish communities, we
investigated the long-term effects of human pressure (represented by
human footprint) on the species richness and energy flux across fish
food webs, a measure of ecosystem functioning. Combining metabolic
scaling theory and ecological network principles, we calculate the
annual energy flux through varying trophic compartments (i.e.,
top-carnivore, mesocarnivore, detritivore, and omnivore). Species
richness across all trophic compartments was positively associated with
energy flux. However, species richness decreased over time, alongside
with the energy flux at the whole-network level, which reduced by 75%.
Human pressure negatively affected both species richness and energy
flux, and the negative impacts of human pressure have intensified over
time. These results illustrate how human pressure can reduce diversity
and erode the energy flux through food webs, with long-term negative
implications for the functioning of natural ecosystems

Identification of a Novel Prognostic Signature for Breast Cancer Based on Post-translational Ubiquitin and Ubiquitin-Like Modification-Related Genes
Authors: Zhou Nanyang , Kong Dejia , Lin Qiao , Yang Xiaojing , Zhou Dan , Lou Lihua , Lou Xiangming
Published: September 2023

Background: Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like (UUL) modifications play
pleiotropic functions and are subject to fine regulatory mechanisms
frequently altered in cancer. However, the comprehensive impact of UUL
modification on breast cancer remains unclear. Methods: Transcriptomic
and clinical data of breast cancer were downloaded from TCGA and GEO
databases. Molecular subtyping of breast cancer was conducted using the
NMF and CIBERSORT algorithms. Prognostic genes were identified via
univariate, lasso and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Clinical
pathological features, immune cell infiltration, immune therapeutic
response and chemotherapy drug sensitivity were compared between groups
using the Wilcoxon test. Survival analysis was performed using the
Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Results: In breast cancer, 63 UUL
modification-related genes were differentially expressed, with 29
up-regulated and 34 down-regulated genes. These genes were used to
generate two UUL modification patterns that exhibited significant
differences in prognostic features and immune cell infiltration. The UUL
modification patterns were associated with 2038 differentially expressed
genes that were significantly enriched in nuclear division, chromosome
segregation, neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, cell cycle, and
other biological processes. Of these genes, 425 were associated with
breast cancer prognosis, which enabled the classification of breast
cancer into two clusters with significantly distinct prognoses. We
developed a prognostic model, UULscore, which comprised nine genes and
showed a significant correlation with partial immune cell infiltration.
Furthermore, UULscore demonstrated potential predictive value in breast
cancer overall survival prediction, immune therapeutic response, and
chemotherapy drug sensitivity. UULscore, stage, radiotherapy, and
chemotherapy were identified as independent prognostic factors for
breast cancer. Based on these factors, a nomogram model was constructed,
which demonstrated exceptional prognostic predictive performance.
Conclusion: In conclusion, we identified two UUL modification-derived
molecular subtypes in breast cancer, and have successfully constructed a
risk scoring model that holds potential value in prognosis, immune
infiltration, immune therapeutic response, and chemotherapy sensitivity.

Digital remote work influencing public administration employees satisfaction in public health complex contexts
Authors: Sousa Maria , Mendes Ana , Almeida Dora , Rocha Álvaro
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze whether digital remote work in times of Covid-19 is influencing the satisfaction of Public Administration employees. Based on the objective of this study, an online survey was conducted in the Portuguese Public Administration, for a sample of 70 individuals, working at home due to the situation of Public Health caused by the Coronavirus. Digital remote work is being applied massively worldwide and is a specific form of work organization supported by information and knowledge. Digital remote workers carry out their activities at home and using digital technologies, depending on the nature of the tasks and work situations. To understand the satisfaction of Public Administration employees, an empirical study was carried out, supported by data collection through an online survey. The main conclusions were that despite the constraints (resistance of top management, organizational culture, autonomy, and flexibility of workers, among others) that existed before the health and socioeconomic crisis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, digital remote work is a given in the life of organizations, public or private, and of workers with reflection at various levels in society and particularly in the professional fulfillment and satisfaction of employees. According to the analysis carried out on the data collected to support the conclusions of this study, the degree of satisfaction of Public Administration employees is influenced in different ways by the influencing factors studied: autonomy at work, conditions at work, and income. However, regarding the factor of quality of life at work, this link has not been established. Thus, it was possible to conclude that satisfaction increases positively and strongly with autonomy at work. Technological specialization and productivity still have a positive influence, but with low intensity contribute to the satisfaction of AP employees. Working conditions also negatively influence satisfaction, although at an average intensity. However, the average degree of job satisfaction varies according to the different age groups, with employees aged 35 or more having a higher satisfaction average than employees whose ages vary between 34 and the beginning of their working lives.

Authors: Guan Quanlong , Lei Jiawei , Wang Chaonan , Geng Guanggang , Zhong Yuansheng , Fang Liangda , Huang Xiujie , Luo Weiqi
Published: September 2023

IoT devices and applications are growing rapidly as a result of the
advancement of IoT technology. In the case of smart hotels with many IoT
devices, the majority of the data generated by those devices contains the
private information of users, which is susceptible to being changed and
leaked during transmission and storage. To overcome it, this paper proposes
a blockchain-IoT based Framework for securing smart hotels(BI-FERH) to
enhance the security of hotel information systems. The high performance
BI-FERH architecture takes advantage of real-time data transmission
capabilities offered by IoT devices. Sensitive data generated by IoT devices
is protected in BI-FERH, enhancing tamper-proof capabilities. The results of
the experiment demonstrate that BI-FERH can increase the security of smart
hotel systems while preserving operational efficacy. An innovative and safe
solution for the information management system of smart hotels is offered by
the BI-FERH framework.

Prediabetes is a metabolic condition associated with gut microbiome composition, although mechanisms remain elusive. We searched for fecal metabolites, a readout of gut microbiome function, associated with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in 142 individuals with IFG and 1,105 healthy individuals from the UK Adult Twin Registry (TwinsUK). We used the Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) cohort (318 IFG individuals, 689 healthy individuals) to replicate our findings. We linearly combined eight IFG-positively associated metabolites (1-methylxantine, nicotinate, glucuronate, uridine, cholesterol, serine, caffeine, and protoporphyrin IX) into an IFG-metabolite score, which was significantly associated with higher odds ratios (ORs) for IFG (TwinsUK: OR 3.9 [95% CI 3.02–5.02], P < 0.0001, KORA: OR 1.3 [95% CI 1.16–1.52], P < 0.0001) and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D; TwinsUK: hazard ratio 4 [95% CI 1.97–8], P = 0.0002). Although these are host-produced metabolites, we found that the gut microbiome is strongly associated with their fecal levels (area under the curve >70%). Abundances of Faecalibacillus intestinalis, Dorea formicigenerans, Ruminococcus torques, and Dorea sp. AF24-7LB were positively associated with IFG, and such associations were partially mediated by 1-methylxanthine and nicotinate (variance accounted for mean 14.4% [SD 5.1], P < 0.05). Our results suggest that the gut microbiome is linked to prediabetes not only via the production of microbial metabolites but also by affecting intestinal absorption/excretion of host-produced metabolites and xenobiotics, which are correlated with the risk of IFG. Fecal metabolites enable modeling of another mechanism of gut microbiome effect on prediabetes and T2D onset.

Article Highlights

Prediabetes is a metabolic condition associated with gut microbiome composition, although mechanisms remain elusive. We investigated whether there is a fecal metabolite signature of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and the possible underlying mechanisms of action. We identified a fecal metabolite signature of IFG associated with prevalent IFG in two independent cohorts and incident type 2 diabetes in a subanalysis. Although the signature consists of metabolites of nonmicrobial origin, it is strongly correlated with gut microbiome composition.

Published: September 2023

Syftet med denna studie är att bidra med insikter om hur muntlig examination kan användas för att stödja studenters aktiva lärande. Muntlig examination är den äldsta formen för bedömning av enskilda studenters kunskaper, men används idag oftast vid bedömning av presentationer av gemensamt arbete som också avrapporteras skriftligt. Artikeln är baserad på ett konkret kursutvecklingsarbete där det överordnade målet var att stödja aktivt lärande. För att uppnå målet introducerades dels en individuell muntlig tentamen som var avgörande för kursbetyget, dels ett nytt upplägg av undervisningen. Studien indikerar att muntlig examination kan bidra till ett aktivt lärande under förutsättning att den är individuell och att undervisningsupplägget tar fasta på fördelarna med samarbete mellan studenter. Vidare pekar studien på att det finns fördelar med att den muntliga examinationen väger tungt i kursbetyget under förutsättning att undervisningsupplägget förbereder studenterna väl. Framtida studier föreslås inriktas mot att följa studenter på individnivå för att belysa deras förutsättningar till aktivt lärande vid kursstart, vad som händer med dem under kursens gång och vilka resultat de uppnår i olika delar av examinationen. 
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
Working together, performing individually – How oral examination can be used to support active learning
The purpose of this study is to contribute with insights into how oral examination can be used to support students’ active learning. Oral examination is the oldest form of knowledge assessment, but is today most often used when assessing presentations of joint work also reported in writing. The article is based on a concrete course development project where the overall goal was to support active learning. An individual oral exam, decisive for the course grade, was introduced together with a new teaching structure. The study suggests that oral examination can contribute to active learning, provided that it is individual and that the teaching structure recognizes the advantages of collaboration between students. Furthermore, the study indicates that the oral examination should be given significant weight in the course grade and supplemented with a structure that prepares the students well. Future studies are suggested to focus on following students individually to shed light on their possibilities of active learning at the course start, what happens to them during the course, and what results they achieve in different parts of the examination.
