ABSTRAK

Pendidikan karakter menjadi wacana sentral pendidikan di Indonesia sejak 2010. Berdasarkan riset yang dilakukan Kemendikbudristek, pandemi covid-19 telah menimbulkan learning loss literasi dan numerasi yang signifikan. Rendahnya minat baca peserta didik pada mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris, kurangnya pemanfaatan perpustakaan sekolah semenjak pandemi, dan hasil belajar peserta didik. Fokus penelitian ini adalah mengenai Bagaimana implementasi pendidikan karakter gemar membaca dalam proses pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di kelas IV SD Negeri Rejosari 03?. Tujuan dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui implementasi pendidikan karakter gemar membaca dilihat dari strategi pembelajaran, motivasi, dan juga hasil belajar peserta didik. Metode pada penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif deskriptif. Penelitian ini berlokasi di SD Negeri Rejosari 03 Kota Semarang, Kecamatan Semarang Timur. Sampel penelitian ini adalah 19 peserta didik kelas IV, guru bahasa Inggris dan kepala sekolah. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara, angket, tes, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan 1) Implementasi pendidikan karakter gemar membaca di kelas IV SD Negeri Rejosari 03 dengan indikator (a) kemampuan menangkap isi bacaan, (b) kemampuan menjawab pertanyaan berdasarkan isi bacaan, dan (c) pemanfaatan perpustakaan sekolah oleh peserta didik, belum terlaksana secara maksimal. 2) Strategi yang digunakan dalam pelajaran Bahasa Inggris berbasis pendidikan karakter gemar membaca bervariasi disesuaikan dengan materi pembelajaran. 3) Faktor penghambat implementasi pendidikan karakter dalam mata pelajaran bahasa Inggris di kelas IV SD Negeri Rejosari 03 yakni kurangnya minat membaca pada peserta didik, kurangnya SDM yang hanya mengandalkan kemampuan guru kelas (belum ada guru khusus mata pelajaran bahasa Inggris, guru belum membuat modul ajar secara rutin, dan keterbatasan waktu. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa implementasi pendidikan karakter gemar membaca di kelas IV SD Negeri Rejosari 03 sudah  menggunakan strategi yang bervariasi disesaikan dengan materi pembelajaran, namun belum terlaksana dengan maksimal hal ini dikarenakan beberapa indikator belum tercapai. Selain itu, juga terdapat beberapa faktor penghambat seperti kurangnya minat membaca pada peserta didik, kurangnya SDM yang hanya mengandalkan kemampuan guru kelas tanpa guru mata pelajaran khusus bahasa Inggris, dan adanya keterbatasan waktu.

How to Fit Toric Soft Contact Lenses?
Authors: Rara Yuswir Astria Rima , Rinda Wati
Published: August 2023

Background: Refractive error is the first cause of visual impairment and the second cause of vision loss worldwide. Astigmatism is an eye refraction disorder that is characterized by various degrees of refraction in various meridians. Thus, the parallel rays coming into the eye are not focused on one point. One of the treatments is toric soft contact lenses, which is used in astigmatism patients by 47% with astigmatism above 0.75 D. This case report describes the use of toric soft contact lenses using a trial with markers at 6 o'clock, 3 o'clock, and 9 o'clock for the management of regular astigmatism.

Case presentation: In this paper, we report 3 cases of patients using toric soft contact lenses. The first patient was a 29-year-old male, the second patient was a 24-year-old female, and the third patient was a 25-year-old male with slowly blurred vision in both eyes and had been wearing glasses. The three cases were classified as moderate astigmatism with a power of 1.25 D and 1.50 D. The patients were given toric soft contact lenses for correction. Contact lens fitting was performed on the patient.  

Conclusion: Correction of astigmatism can be done by giving glasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery. If the contact lens axis is suitable, a prescription can be given immediately. If the axis of the toric soft contact lens does not match the available trials, it is necessary to order the size of the toric contact lens according to the astigmatism disorder in the patient's eye.
Comparing the Optical Coherence Tomography Outcomes of Intravitreal Injection Anti Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion (BRVO)
Authors: Sandri  , Weni Helvinda
Published: August 2023

Background: BRVO is a blockage of the branches of the retinal vein due to a thrombus. The prevalence of 10-year BRVO is 1.6 per 100 subjects. The effect of anti-VEGF injection on BRVO management is effective in improving visual acuity and reducing macular oedema.

Case presentation: A man, 32 years old, presented to the ophthalmology clinic at the Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital with a chief complaint of blurred vision in his left eye 1 week before admission. The blurred vision began suddenly. Visual acuity in LE was 20/50 and did not advance with a pinhole. Funduscopic examination of LE showed clear media, rounded papillae with well-defined borders, blood vessels aa:vv = 1:3, venous tortuosity (+) increased in the inferotemporal quadrant; retina: Bleeding (+) with dot blot and flame-shaped inferiorly, exudate (+) cotton wool spots at the inferotemporal region; foveal reflex (+)↓ on the macula. OCT LE examination showed macular intraretinal hypo-reflection and macular thickening with a central macular thickness of 617 μm. The physical examination showed a body weight of 114.9 kg, a height of 173 cm, and a body mass index of 38.4. Within 5 months after 3 times administrations of intravitreal injections of anti-VEGF bevacizumab and ranibizumab, visual acuity of LE: 20/25 was obtained, and increased appearance of the retinal fundus and OCT LE.

Conclusion: Intravitreal injection therapy of anti-VEGF bevacizumab and ranibizumab is effective in reducing macular oedema and restoring visual acuity in BRVO.

Authors: Malela Jared Odoyo , Araka Hellen
Published: August 2023

This study investigated the influence of performance appraisal on employee performance at Tom Mboya University in Homa-Bay County, Kenya. The specific focus of the study was to determine the influence of evaluation, management by objectives, performance appraisal design and 360 degrees’ appraisal method on employee performance at Tom Mboya University. This design was considered appropriate because the study focused on a survey of employees in one organization. The study targeted a population of 117 employees in various job groups at Tom Mboya University. Stratified and systematic random sampling was used in this study, to select a sample size of 90 respondents. The primary data for the research was collected using a structured questionnaire. Validity of the questionnaire was assessed and confirmed using expert opinion from supervisors. A pilot study was carried out on ten randomly selected employees to support the test of reliability of the questionnaire. Reliability was tested through a test of internal consistency. In order to test reliability of the instruments, internal consistency techniques were employed using the Cronbach Alpha Coefficient of 0.7. Descriptive statistics was analysed using mean, standard deviation, and percentages. Similarly, inferential statistics were analysed using bivariate correlation and multiple regression analysis so as to confirm the relationship between the research variables. The results of analysis were presented in form of figures and tables. The study concludes that an increase in management by objectives practices such as setting objectives and plans, monitoring progress, rewarding according to performance, linkage: objectives and results/output and stakeholder participation significantly improves employee performance. Since it was revealed that performance appraisal design has a positive but not significant influence on employee performance, there is a need for the HR department of Tom Mboya University and other institutions to enhance adoption of this method in their appraisal in order to realise a significant influence on employee performance. This can be achieved by improving performance appraisal design such as rating scales, accurate appraisals, fairness/ lack of bias in appraisal, appraising verses current job description, goal-oriented appraisal, and regularity of conducting appraisals

ОРГАНІЧНЕ КРОЛІВНИЦТВО В УМОВАХ ПРИВАТНИХ ГОСПОДАРСТВ
Authors: Пустова Н. В. , Пустова З. В. , Ружальська С.
Published: August 2023

Кролі з-поміж інших видів сільськогосподарських тварин найбільш плодючі, завдяки чому за сприятливих умов господарювання та логістики продукції можна досягти доброго прибутку. Методика досліджень передбачала вивчення особливостей м’ясо-шкуркових порід кролів та продуктивних якостей за органічного вирощування, основ вирощування та догляду в умовах приватних господарств за кліткового та вольєро-кліткового утримання. Кролі легко акліматизуються у будь-якій кліматичній зоні України, завдяки цьому їх розводять повсюдно. У індивідуальних селянських господарствах зосереджено близько 98% усього поголів’я кролів. Сьогодні оптимальним напрямом розвитку галузі кролівництва є створення індивідуальних та фермерських господарств. Найбільшого поширення у нашій країні набули породи кролів: сірий і білий велетні, метелик, сріблястий, чорно-бурий, новозеландська біла, каліфорнійська. Розведення усіх порід кролів, що вирощують у господарствах країни, спрямоване на одержання товарної продукції: м’яса, хутра та шкурок. Головними перевагами кролівництва є економія площ та відсутність капітальних приміщень для вирощування поголів’я кролів, а також їхня спокійна, тиха поведінка (безшумні тварини). Стан здоров’я, м’ясність і якість шкурок кролів суттєво залежать від системи їх утримання. Для повноцінного зростання кролів потрібно використовувати збалансований раціон. Повноцінна годівля поголів’я кролів забезпечує високу якість продукції: м’ясо ніжне і соковите, з помірним відсотком жиру. Для годівлі кролів використовують лише корми доброї якості, без ознак псування, обмороження та сильного забруднення землею коренеплодів. Для годівлі кролів використають грубі корми, концентрати, коренеплоди, премікси і білково-мінеральні добавки та гранульовані комбікорми. Орієнтовні витрати кормів на 1 кг живої маси м’ясних порід кролів – 6–6,5 кг та м’ясо-шкуркових порід кролів – 8–9,5 кг. Рентабельність органічного кролівництва зумовлюється застосуванням досконалих систем утримання, збалансованого раціону та якісних кормів, що дає змогу значно зменшити капітальні й експлуатаційні витрати у кроле-господарстві, а також на логістику продукції кролівництва.
The Use of Pyrite Chemistry to Vector toward Gold Mineralization, an Example from the Drogo Prospect, Nunavut, Canada
Authors: Freij Nicole , Gregory Daniel David , Verschelden Rémi , Côté-Mantha Olivier
Published: August 2023

Anomalous high grade Au mineralization has been found in float material at the Drogo Prospect, Nunavut, Canada. However, traditional exploration methods have thus far been unable to find the bedrock source of the mineralization. Recent studies have shown that pyrite trace element chemistry, as determined using LA-ICP-MS, varies between Au-forming and barren fluids. To test whether this also occurred at the Drogo Prospect, we analyzed pyrite in rock samples, including Au-rich samples, moderate Au grade samples, and barren samples. However, little variation in pyrite trace element chemistry was observed, suggesting that pyrite trace element chemistry may not be an effective exploration tool at the Drogo Prospect. To confirm these observations, cluster analysis was used to determine if natural clustering of the data could highlight which samples were more likely to be Au rich; again, no statistical differences could be found between the samples. In contrast to our working hypothesis, this suggests that pyrite trace element chemistry is not an effective exploration tool to find the bedrock source of the Drogo boulder trend.

Published: August 2023

The Pakistan-Afghanistan border has remained volatile since Pakistan’s independence in 1947. Two superpower invasions of Afghanistan have further amplified the significance of the contentious border. Our research focuses on border porosity along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border influencing regional stability. The study involves current serving army personnel as respondents. A total of fifty-two respondents were selected through convenience sampling. We utilized a structured questionnaire to gauge the perceptions of Pakistan Army personnel concerning the border porosity and its impact on regional stability. The data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), employing frequency distribution and cross-tabulation techniques. Our empirical findings reveal that the porosity of the Durand Line contributes to the proliferation of terrorism, smuggling, and human trafficking. A notable factor driving illegal migration is the scarcity of official entry points. Most respondents (92.3%) acknowledged using alternative illicit routes to cross the Durand Line. The absence of legal documentation (51.9% of respondents) also emerged as a primary cause of unauthorized entries into Pakistan. Regarding the impediments to sealing the border, 67.3% of respondents affirmed that the Government of Afghanistan plays a significant role. Conversely, 86.5% of respondents agreed that the registration of Afghan refugees has resulted in a decline in terrorism. Nevertheless, implementing fencing along the Pakistan-Afghanistan positively enhances border security and regional stability.

Tulisan ini berlatar belakang dari salah satu sosok tokoh agama yang terkenal di Yogyakarta, yang bernama K.H. Ahmad Dahlan. K.H Ahmad Dahlan adalah sosok yang sangat kompeten, hal ini terbukti dengan perkembangan yang dialami oleh Muhammadiyah. Dahlan sangat memperhatikan nasib rakyatnya, Dahlan tidak ingin rakyat pribumi mengalami kemunduran dalam bidang agama serta mengalami kebodohan dan penindasan yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah Belanda. Maka dari itu, untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, maka Dahlan mencoba untuk merubah kebiasaan masyarakat yang tidak sesuai dengan ajaran Islam. Masyarakat masih banyak yang mempercayai takhayul, bid’ah, kurafat yang semakin menjauhkan umat dari ajaran agama Islam. Selain itu, dalam dunia pendidikan yang ada belum memiliki suatu sistem pembelajaran dan pengajaran yang dikhususkan bagi masyarakat pribumi yang beragama Islam.  Oleh karena itu, pondasi yang dibangun dalam konsep pendidikan Muhammadiyah telah memadukan konsep iman serta kemajuan berpikir. Hal ini memiliki makna bahwa dalam pola pendidikan yang diajarkan di Muhammadiyah telah memadukan konsep keimanan yang merupakan pondasi dasar dalam beragama serta kemajuan sebagai bukti bentuk berpikir secara terbuka, dan bersikap dalam menghadapi kemingkinan yang akan terjadi dalam kehidupan ini.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Cataract is major cause of preventable blindness, worldwide. Phacoemulsification and manual small incision are most common surgical methods of cataract. The objective of our study was to compare surgical outcomes and complications in phacoemulsification (Phaco) and manual small incision cataract surgery (MSICS) patients

METHODOLOGY: A Prospective Observational study was conducted at Ophthalmology department of POF Hospital Wah Cantt, Pakistan. Study duration was 6 months (January 2020-June 2020). We calculated sample size of 30 cataract patients. Selection of cataract patients in OPD was done through non probability consecutive sampling technique. Afterwards, they were divided randomly into two different groups using lottery method; Group A patients cataract extraction was done with Phacoemulsification while in group B patients cataract extraction was done with small incision cataract surgery. Patients were followed for 5 weeks. Fisher-exact test and independent and paired T-test was applied to get statistically significant results. P value ≤0.05 was considered significant.

RESULTS: Total 30 patients were included in study. There were 19(64.5%) male and 11(35.5%) female.  Mean age of patients was 48.3±7.5SD. There was a significant change in pre and post operative visual acuity in both groups (Group A p=0.000 and Group B p=0.000). MSICS showed high surgery duration as compared to phacoemulsification (29.6±1.5 vs 22.2±2.1, p=0.000).

CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification and Manual small incision cataract surgery are safe and clinically effective surgical techniques that did not show any difference in surgical outcomes. However, Phacoemulsification is associated with less post-operative complications as compared to MSICS.

Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Human adenosine deaminase deficiency, OMIM 102700 (ADA deficiency) is a genetic disorder which causes severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). The enzyme adenosine deaminase is a housekeeping in nature and is involved in purine catabolism by catalyzing irreversible deamination of adenosine and deoxyadenosine. The SCID patients’ immune system is unable to fight off most of the bacterial and fungal infections due to profound lymphopenia (T-B-NK+). About 20% of the SCID patients are genetically homozygous for defective ADA gene. In our study we aimed to find out genetic variant in ADA gene in a family carrying severe combined immune deficiency. Objective in the current study is to unravel and characterize the molecular cause of the patient suffering from by birth SCID.

METHODOLOGY: In the present study we enrolled a 6-month-old female SCID patient belonging to highly consanguineous Pakistani family. Patient clinical features included repeated chest infection with failure to thrive, fever and chronic diarrhea. Whole blood samples from patient, parents and healthy siblings were acquired in EDTA tubes. DNA was extracted from all the blood samples.

RESULTS: Flowcytometry revealed lymphopenia (T-B-NK+) type of SCID. Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) identified a one nucleotide change (c.716G>A) in ADA gene exon 8. The segregation of the identified variant in the family was confirmed through Sanger Sequencing.

CONCLUSION: In this study, we presented detailed clinical and genetic description of patient suffering from severe combined immune deficiency. The immunological and genetic findings presented in this study will facilitate early diagnosis of the disease. Segregation of the identified variant in the family members will also aid in genetic counseling the family.
KONSTRUKSI KALIMAT TRANSITIF BAHASA MELAYU KUPANG ( KAJIAN TATABAHASA LEKSIKAL FUNGSIONAL)

Published: August 2023

Abstract. Kupang Malay  is a language that belongs to Malay language family. Typologically, the morphology of Kupang Malay is classified as agglutinating language, which is a language that has a morpholexical process. This study aims to examine the construction of Kupang Malay transitive sentences using functional lexical grammar studies. The research method used is descriptive-qualitative method, because it is considered capable of providing a systematic, accurate, and factual explanation of the data, properties and relationships of the phenomena studied and ultimately produces a scientific picture of the data (Djajasudarma, 1993:8) . The types of data collected and analyzed in this study were all oral data sourced from informants who were Kupang Malay native speakers. This study used the equivalent analysis method and the agih method. The results of the research concluded that the transitive sentence construction of Kupang Malay consists of an intransitive verb clause and a ditransitive verb clause. For example, in transitive verbs the number 'angka' there is the only OBJ in the grammatical relation, which is present as the main argument needed by a verb other than SUBJ in each verb. Kupang Malay's transitive clause structure with numeric verbs as the core of the clause occupies the predicate position, so that the verb must be present unmarked or is a verb without affixes. Furthermore, the second type of transitive verb is contained in a ditransitive clause. The ditransitive verb has three main arguments in grammatical functions as SUBJ, OBJ, and OBJɵ.

The development of the modern world provides a new touch in the world of education that needs to be adjusted by educators and educated alike. Therefore, the aim of this research is to provide assistance to elementary science teachers in understanding the applications they want to apply in this study. One application that is often used is Canvas. This application is often used to design information using images, very unique icons that are able to convey information to readers in a simple and easily understood manner. Science material is one of the lessons that contains environmental pictures and calculations. Therefore, to improve the quality of learning for Grade IV elementary school students, Canvas media will be assisted as an interesting teaching material that is liked by elementary school students. Based on the results of research conducted using the interview method at 3 elementary schools, namely SDI Besterin, SDK Manumuti and SDK Betun I, namely before being given treatment the absorption and completeness values ​​were below the standard of 65% and 80% due to the lack of understanding of teachers in utilizing technology in the current era. After being given treatment using teaching materials designed with canvas the quality of learning is quite improved with absorption and completeness values ​​above average. This is because researchers provide special assistance to science teachers in operating canvas applications so that in applying them to students the teacher has total control.

Background. Acute bilirubin encephalopathy is an acute neurological manifestation due to indirect bilirubin deposits in the basal ganglia and brainstem nuclei. In several developed countries, the incidence reaches 0.6-2.5 cases/100,000 births, while a recent study in 8 hospitals in Indonesia showed an incidence rate of 2%. In this paper, we describe an acute bilirubin encephalopathy in a neonate with G6PD deficiency. Case Presentation. A 5-day-old male neonate was admitted to the ER with recurrent generalized tonic seizures which started 6 hours prior to admission. Post seizure, the neonate cried then fell asleep. He had seemed less active and did not want to breastfeed for the last 12 hours. The neonate was born at full term (3160 grams) by a spontaneous vaginal delivery in the hospital, APGAR score 7/9, mother blood type AB+. He was exclusively breastfed with adequate intake. Physically examined, the neonate was lethargic with flat anterior fontanelle, Kramer V jaundice, fever, hypertonia, decreased sucking reflex, physiologic reflexes +2/+2, Babinski +/+, without cranial nerve paresis. Laboratory results of total bilirubin 44.79 mg/dL (indirect 43.04 mg/dL; direct 1.75 mg/dL), Hb 14.2 g/dL, WBC 15,000/μL, reticulocytes 124,500/μL, negative Coombs’s test, blood type A+, peripheral blood morphology within normal limits. The neonate was planned for exchange transfusion, intensive (triple) phototherapy was performed while waiting for the exchange transfusion. Bilirubin levels fell significantly within 12 hours after phototherapy initiation. Phototherapy was continued, the neonate was discharged on the seventh day of hospitalization in good condition. During treatment, etiology tracking was performed towards G6PD (G6PD level: 6.6 U/dL). Conclusion. Acute bilirubin encephalopathy is a rare morbidity found in newborns. ABE that occurs in the first week of life, prompt further investigations other than physiologic jaundice. Most frequent etiologies are ABO incompatibility, G6PD deficiency, sepsis and hereditary spherocytosis. In this case, we found G6PD as the cause of acute bilirubin encephalopathy in the first week of life.

The modern dental caries adhesive direct restoration requires a working protocol that includes stages and techniques that must be strictly followed to ensure the correct morphological and functional reconstruction, as well as an increased longevity of the restoration and implicitly of the respective tooth in the oral cavity. Failures in achieving these goals are represented by the occurrence of recurrent caries, secondary or residual caries, coronary fractures, leading to pulpal and periodontal complications. They can be due to both incorrect therapeutic maneuvers and other causes, for which the dentist is not responsible, such as manufacturing defects of dental materials that are not visible during inspection or the patient's attitude towards oral hygiene.

A laicidade do Estado brasileiro traz a questão da liberdade individual prevista na Constituição Federal de 1988, pois em diversos momentos o conflito dos poderes legislativo e executivo termina na judicialização de questões das esferas pública e privada. A atribuição de tais questões coloca em evidência a de ministros do Supremo Tribunal Federal, cujas decisões aviltam os valores sociais e extrapolam a hermenêutica. O que precisa ser preservado é a liberdade individual e não a cerceamento dessa liberdade.

Published: August 2023

O presente estudo objetiva discutir os diálogos transnacionais e as interações entre as cortes visando conhecer os novos paradigmas do judicialismo constitucional. Para tanto, questiona em que medida os magistrados brasileiros encontram-se submetidos às normas transnacionais, e se valem dos tratados internacionais de direitos humanos e das manifestações de outras Cortes ao julgar os casos que lhes são distribuídos. O método empregado na realização desta pesquisa foi o dialético-argumentativo, operacionalizado por ampla pesquisa bibliográfica e documental realizada em artigos, doutrinas e entendimentos jurisprudenciais do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro e outras cortes transnacionais, especialmente a Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos (Corte IDH) pertinentes à temática abordada. Concluiu-se ao final do artigo que os membros do Poder Judiciário brasileiro, ao realizarem o controle de convencionalidade, devem buscar o estabelecimento de relações de diálogo amplas e abertas com outras cortes transnacionais, orientadas pelo princípio pro persona, buscando a construção da norma jurídica mais favorável à pessoa humana, de forma a conferir-lhe a proteção mais ampla e eficaz possível e evitando a violação das garantias e prerrogativas estabelecidas em seu favor, seja pelo ordenamento jurídico interno, seja pelo Direito Internacional dos Direitos Humanos.

Data was collected and categorized according to the specifications of the Abbreviated Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index (A-WEAI). It comprises two sub-indexes, namely the five domains of empowerment (5DE) [production, resources, income, leadership, and time], and the gender parity within the household (GPI) [1]. Data was captured and processed according to the requirements of the different indices using Microsoft Excel. The, adapted from a strategy used by the Enhancing Opportunities for Women's Enterprises program (EOWE) in Vietnam, namely a Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) strategy to aid in the reporting of restraining gender norms and other empowerment issues, was used to put results into context and applied in this study [2, 3]. It involves sharing dialogue and experiences in order to positively influence change in communities. Lastly, the correlation between empowerment status and other factors (such as age, educational level, marital status, and farming experience) was also calculated using Pearson's chi-square. Statistical significance of the correlation between factors not included in the A-WEAI was calculated and reported on.

The recent discovery of a kilonova from the long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB 211211A challenges classification schemes based on temporal information alone. Gamma-ray properties of GRB 211211A reveal an extreme event, which stands out among both short and long GRBs. We find very short variations (few milliseconds) in the lightcurve of GRB 211211A and estimate ∼1000 for the Lorentz factor of the outflow. We discuss the relevance of the short variations in identifying similar long GRBs resulting from compact mergers. Our findings indicate that in future gravitational-wave follow-up campaigns, some long-duration GRBs should be treated as possible strong gravitational-wave counterparts.
Machine Learning Applications in Adsorption of Water Pollutants

Published: August 2023

Adsorption remains one of the most effective methods of decontamination of water. Adsorption processes are governed by multiple factors which contribute to the overall efficiency of the process. These include process conditions such as temperature, pH, the concentration of pollutants, and competing ions. The adsorbate properties, such as speciation, polarity, kinetic diameter, and ionic sizes, also affect adsorption performance. The adsorbent properties also play a critical role in assessing the suitability of an adsorbing material. This includes surface areas, pore volumes, chemical compositions, surface charges, etc. The complexity of the interaction between all these parameters makes it cumbersome or near impossible to predict with appreciable precision the performance of an adsorption system. Machine learning provides an opportunity for developing models for concise prediction of adsorption efficiencies for different materials. This chapter discusses the principles of various machine learning models and their application in the adsorption of pollutants from water.

Keeping a check on the quality of water is necessary for protecting both the health of humans and of the environment. AI can be used to classify and predict water quality. The proposed system uses several machine learning algorithms to manage water quality data gathered over a protracted period. Water quality index (WQI) is used to categorize the given samples by using machine learning and ensemble approaches. The studied classifiers included random forest classifier, CatBoost classifier, k nearest neighbors, logistic regression, etc. The authors used precision-recall curves, ROC curves and confusion matrices as performance metrics for the ML classifiers used. With an accuracy of 95.43%, the random forest model was shown to be the most accurate classifier. Furthermore, CatBoost classifier and k nearest neighbors provided satisfactory results with 94.86% and 94.08% accuracy, respectively. Therefore, CatBoost algorithm is considered to be a more reliable approach for the quality of water classification.
