ABSTRACT

 

BMKG has a role to disseminate geo-hydrometeorological information in the fields of Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics. The dissemination process requires data from BMKG operational equipment spread across 183 Technical Implementation Units (UPT) throughout Indonesia. The recorded data must be collected and disseminated using a communication network. The existing network monitoring system currently at BMKG uses the PRTG monitoring application but can only be accessed by central employees. Thus, a system that can be accessed by regional employees to see the condition of the communication network in each UPT is needed, so that it can support operations. This paper discusses monitoring system and communication network metadata design with notifications using telegrams that can be adapted for operations at BMKG called NetTa (Network Metadata). The system consists of a network monitoring dashboard, provider rental metadata dashboard, network monitoring notifications via Telegram bots. The system operates in real time and can be accessed from anywhere using a smartphone and PC. The results of functional testing show that monitoring system of all existing features on the system can be accessed according to the design. Telegram notifications can provide network device status as well as warnings if there is a communication network interruption based on the monitored sensor code

ABSTRACT

 

The development of industrial technology is very rapid. This often also causes room noise to increase. For that we need a system for sound isolation or absorption using soundproof material. Noise pollution in the form of noise can interfere with and damage hearing and is a serious threat to the quality of environmental comfort. To solve this problem, various types of sound-absorbing materials have been developed. The quality of the sound-absorbing material is indicated by the value of (coefficient of absorption of the material to sound), the greater , the better it is used as a sound absorber. The purpose of this study was to determine the volume variation of the water hyacinth stem fiber composite to the amount of sound attenuation and to determine the bond structure between the matrix components and the composite filler. The research method uses polyester resin R-108, with a catalyst material of 2%, composite fibers arranged in a woven roving from water hyacinth stems in the form of molds with 5% alkaline solution (NaOH) for 2 hours at each volume variation of 20%, 30%. and 40%. Tests Sound attenuation test and SEM test were conducted to determine the bond structure between fiber as a filler and Polyester Resin as a binder (matrix). The result of the research is that the composite material meets the absorbent with a value of greater than 0.2. The maximum Noice Absorption Coefficient (NAC) value is 0.343 at 40% filler volume with a frequency of 140 Hz. The bond matrix looks quite good against the filler.

Abstract

PT ABC is a company engaged in the two-wheeled automotive manufacturing industry that wants to optimize the use of aluminum scrap left over from machining production and processing it into raw materials is carried out by third parties or suppliers with quality standards set by PT ABC. However, processed raw materials are the cause of high product defects because the ferrous content is always high. The first stage in reducing the level of disability is to identify the influencing factors. The method used is a fishbone diagram, followed by the Taguchi method to find out the factors that most influence the cause of product defects. From the results of data processing with a fishbone diagram, there are three influential factors. Among these three factors, the factor with the greatest influence is sought which results in product quality deviating from quality standards. From the results obtained it was concluded that product defects were caused by the percentage of ferrous content of 1.15%, while the percentage of application results using the Taguchi method was 0.09%. Decreasing the percentage of ferrous content affects product quality improvement, lower production raw material purchase costs and mutual benefits with third parties.

Mindfulness has become a proven method for improving mental health and overall well-being. This comprehensive review provides an overview of the current research on mindfulness and its impact on clinical outcomes such as anxiety, depression, stress, and quality of life. Studies using neuroimaging techniques have shown that practicing mindfulness leads to functional and structural changes in specific areas of the brain involved in executive control, emotion regulation, and self-awareness. Meta-analyses have indicated that mindfulness-based interventions have a significant positive effect on mood and anxiety disorders. The proposed psychological mechanisms behind these effects include increased metacognitive awareness, self-compassion, and the ability to distance oneself from negative thoughts. Research-based recommendations are given to utilize mindfulness for enhancing mental well-being. These suggestions include mindfulness apps, online resources, daily routines, and professional therapies based on mindfulness. Although more research is needed, the evidence strongly backs up mindfulness as an effective and accessible therapeutic technique for promoting positive mental health by bringing our awareness to the present moment. This analysis combines the most recent findings on how mindfulness can improve psychological functioning and resilience.

Published: November 2023

Josephson digital or analog ancillary circuits are an essential part of a large number of modern quantum processors. The natural candidate for the basis of tuning, coupling, and neromorphic co-processing elements for processors based on flux qubits is the adiabatic (reversible) superconducting logic cell. Using the simplest implementation of such a cell as an example, we have investigated the conditions under which it can optionally operate as an auxiliary qubit while maintaining its “classical” neural functionality. The performance and temperature regime estimates obtained confirm the possibility of practical use of a single-contact inductively shunted interferometer in a quantum mode in adjustment circuits for q-processors.

Published: November 2023

Curcumin (CUR), a polyphenolic compound, shows promising biological properties, particularly antioxidant activity. However, its medical applications are limited due to its low water solubility, bioavailability, and pH-instability. CUR-loaded albumin microparticles (CUR-HSA-MPs) of submicron size in the range of 800 to 900 nm and a zeta potential of −15 mV were prepared. The CUR loading efficiency was up to 65%. A maximum release of 37% of the encapsulated CUR was observed within 6 h when the CUR-HSA-MPs were dispersed in 50% ethanol in PBS at pH 7, while in RPMI 1640 medium the release was 7%. This demonstrates a sustainable release. The in vitro cytotoxicity of CUR-HSA-MPs showed promising anticancer potential against human hepatocellular carcinoma (Huh-7) and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cell lines, although this effect was less pronounced in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFB) and human cholangiocyte (MMN) cell lines. Confocal microscopy was used to confirm the uptake of CUR-HSA-MPs by cancer cells. Our studies revealed that HSA-MPs are potentially promising vehicles for increasing the solubility and bioavailability of CUR.

Developing Lifelong Writers in the Post-ChatGPT Era: How has the generative artificial intelligence changed the environment of writing instruction?
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Chang Sungmin
Published: November 2023

This study identifies previous approaches to developing learners as lifelong writers and explores their pedagogical implications in the current era of generative artificial intelligence (AI). First, we reviewed the theoretical background of lifelong writers, the ecology of written language, vernacular literacy, and teaching readers. We derived that to develop lifelong writers, learners should: (1) lower the psychological barriers to using written language, (2) make written texts authentic, and (3) have a sense of belonging and control over writing. Next, we examined how these principles (1)~(3) should be transformed and applied based on the characteristics of generative AI. The following were discussed: checking content for accuracy, credibility, and fairness in a case of hallucination; fostering basic literacy to generate questions or prompts; reflecting based on self-regulated learning and epistemology; and engaging in writing with ownership, belonging, and responsibility. This work will contribute to the refining of the educational content of the “values and attitudes” category, while achieving its purpose.
The Theme of Despair and Sin in Dazai Osamu’s No Longer Human: An Analysis from the Perspective of Kierkegaard
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Lee Kyeonghi
Published: November 2023

This study examines the issue of despair and sin of the protagonist Yojo in Dazai Osamu’s No Longer Human through the theorietical reasoning developed in Søren Kierkegaard’s The Sickness unto Death. Yojo’s life in the novel contains Kierkegaard’s discussion of despair and sin.
From Kierkegaard’s perspective, Yojo’s despair can be divided into despair of worldly things and despair of himself. His despair of the world stems from the fear and distrust of humanity experienced during his childhood. As a result, Yojo appears to have given up on himself by living his life, playing the buffoon in front of others. The despair towards himself means that Yojo’s despair has intensified. He attempts to recover through relationships with women who do not evoke fear in him but as all his attempts fail, his guilt and despair deepen. Yojo’s sin corresponds to the sin of despair before God. Although Yojo thinks about the existence of God and asks God questions, he fails to advance to the stage of faith where he believes in God’s forgiveness of sins.
In the end, Yojo does not properly understand the meaning of Christ’s suffering and death which is the core of the Christian Gospel and cannot also believe in the infinite possiblity of the almighty God. The novel No Longer Human can be considered a work that is clearly distanced from the faith of Christianity which Kierkegaard embraces. Based on No Longer Human, it is difficult to view Dazai’s acceptance of Christianity and the Bible as a Christian evangelical understanding and remains at an ethical level based on the issue of biblical sin and punishment.

In this article, a study of geological and ecological loads on the geological environment at the Tengizfield, located in the Zhyloy district of Atyrau region of the Republic of Kazakhtan, is carried out. Soil tests by dynamic sounding (STDS) were performed on all drilling wells for sandy soils. In the process of performing engineering and geological exploration, static sounding of soils was performed at the projected sites of GDP-1 (gas distribution plant) and Torch, with the measurement of hydrostatic pore pressure. Physical and mechanical properties of soils, chemical properties of soils and chemical properties of groundwater were determined during laboratory studies. In the studied territory, the soils composing the engineering-geological section to a depth of up to 25 m are saline with an average degree of salinity. All lithological-facies groups of soils also contain a significant amount of carbonates and gypsum in their composition. For loamy silt (IGE-1b), according to the combination of physico-chemical and mechanical characteristics (fluid consistency, high degree of salinity, high degree of compressibility and low strength, the possibility of manifestation of thixotropic properties under dynamic influences), this soil belongs to the category of weak water-saturated clay soils. Weak soil (IGE-1b) is observed at a shallow depth in some areas. The available geotechnical data is not enough to accommodate areas of weak soils. At the same time, heavy sandy loam (IGE1a) and light sandy clay (IGE-8) have swelling properties of a weak degree. Chemical analysis of groundwater samples taken within the studied territories showed a high degree of mineralization, groundwater belongs to the brackish group, a subgroup of strongly brackish waters. Dangerous geological processes that could negatively affect the construction conditions are characterized by the processes of secondary salinization of soils.

Хомоцистеинот – ризик фактор и предиктор во појавата на васкуларните компликации кај пациентите со дијабетес мелитус тип 2
Authors: Богоева-Костовска Ксенија , Димитровски Чедомир
Published: November 2023

ОСНОВА: Хомоцистеинот (Нсу) е амино киселина која содржи сулфур. Целото количество на хомоцистеин во организмот се формира преку циклусот на метилција од аминокиселината метионин, како основен и единствен извор на хомоцистеин. Во плазмата Нсу се наоѓа слободен само 1%, додека 70% се наоѓа врзан за албумините. Во метаболизмот на Нсу се инволвирани три ензими: метионин синтаза (МС), метилентетрихидрафолат редуктаза (МТХФР), цистатионин Б сентитаза (ЦБС) како и витамините B6, B12 и фолната киселина, како кофактори на овие ензими. Во случај на нарушување на метаболизмот на хомоцистеинот поради ензимски дефект или поради недостиг на некој интрацелуларен кофактор, доаѓа до акумулирање на Нсу во клетката и потоа до негово екскретирање и зголемување на нивоата во циркулацијата.
ЦЕЛ: Целта на ова истражување е да се добијат податоци со кои би се докажала корелацијата на плазма хомоцистеинот во однос на етиологијата на микроваскуларните и макроваскуларните комликации како и можноста за негова употреба како ран предиктор во дијагностиката на васкуларните компликации кај пациентите со дијабетес мелитус.
МЕТОДИ: Трудот претставува ретроспективно-проспективно истражување кое се одвиваше на клиниката за ендокринологија и болести на метаболизмот во Скопје. Студијата вклучи 80 пациенти со дијабетес мелитус 2. Регрутираните пациенти беа поделени во две групи: 50 пациенти со дијагностицирани васкуларни компликации и група од 30 пациенти без придружни компликации, која воедно е и контролна група.
РЕЗУЛТАТИ: Од обработката на податоците, помеѓу микроваскуларните компликации сигнификантно најзастапена беше нефропатијата со 32%, потоа ретинопатијата со 29% и микроалбуминуријата со 27.5%. Од макроваскуларните комликации сигнификантно и значајно најзастапени беа хипертензивната болест со процентуална застапеност од 31%, и периферната артериска болест со 12.50%. Високи вредности на хомоцистеин беа нотирани кај двете групите на пациенти со микроваскуларни и макроваскуларни компликации во однос на контролната група на пациенти, каде вредностите на хомоцистеин беа помеѓу нормалните граници.
ЗАКЛУЧОК: Хиперхомоцистеинемијата претставува ризик фактор во етиологијата на хронични компликации кај пациентите со дијабетес мелитус тип 2. Сепак, потребни се понатамошни истражувања кои би дале јасни податоци за влијанието на зголемените нивоа на хомоцистеин и неговата улога во оштетувањето на ендотелот на крвните садови и појава на долготрајни васкуларни компликации.

Хернијацијата на мочниот меур преку ингвиналниот канал е ретка болест која бара хируршка интервенција. Како резултат на комбинација на слабост на абдоминалниот ѕид и зголемување на интраабдоминалниот притисок се јавува пролапс на мочниот меур во ингвиналниот канал и појава на ингвино-скротална хернија. Оваа појава е многу ретка и често погрешно се дијагностицира. Се јавува почесто кај постари мажи со зголемена телесна тежина и со симптоми на опструкција на дисталните уринарни патишата и уринарни инфекции. Симптомите вообичаено се од благи до умерени, поврзани се со отежнатото мокрење и уринарни инфекции, а доколку оваа состојба навремено не се лекува може да доведе до посериозни здравствени проблеми, па се до бубрежна инсуфициенција. CT со реконструкција во три рамнини е метода на избор во дијагностиката на ингвино-скроталните хернии на мочниот меур. Оваа метода овозможува јасен приказ на хернираниот дел од мочниот меур, а овозможува и детекција на содржината на килната кеса.

Published: November 2023

This essay focuses on extracts from Toledot Yeshu (Stories of Jesus) revealed in the trials of the Portuguese Inquisition from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Considering explicit and longer versions, as well as allusions that seem to point to the Jewish story of Jesus or other texts opposing Christianity, this paper aims to understand why they were used, and in what context, and explain their utilization across time. Additionally, it also seeks to highlight how extracts from Toledot Yeshu were used in speeches of identity defense that were part of the cultural heritage of Jews in the Iberian Peninsula on the eve of the general expulsions in the late fifteenth century.

Published: November 2023

Sentiment analysis and stance detection are interrelated problems of affective computing, and their outputs commonly complement each other. The focus of this article is to determine sentiments and stances of Twitter users about vaccination. A tweet dataset on COVID-19 vaccination is compiled and jointly annotated with sentiment and stance. This deep learning approach employs BERT, which is a model based on pre-trained transformers. The generative deep learning model, ChatGPT, is also used for stance and sentiment analysis on the dataset. ChatGPT achieves the best performance for stance detection, while BERT is the best performer for sentiment analysis. This study is the first one to observe stance and sentiment detection performance of ChatGPT on health-related tweets. This article also includes a full-fledged system proposal based on automatic sentiment and stance analysis. COVID-19 pandemic is an impactful global public health phenomenon, and hence, joint extraction of sentiments and stances from health-related tweets can profoundly contribute to health-related decision-making processes.

Background: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has been increasingly recognized as an opportunistic pathogen associated with high morbidity and mortality. Data on the prognostic factors associated with S. maltophilia pneumonia in patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) are lacking.Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from 117 patients with S. maltophilia pneumonia admitted to the ICUs of two tertiary referral hospitals in South Korea between January 2011 and December 2022. To assess risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality, multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed.Results: The median age of the study population was 71 years. Ventilator-associated pneumonia was 76.1% of cases, and the median length of ICU stay before the first isolation of S. maltophilia was 15 days. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 82.1%, and factors independently associated with mortality were age (odds ratio [OR], 1.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00–1.09; P=0.046), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (OR, 1.21; 95%; CI, 1.02–1.43; P=0.025), corticosteroid use (OR, 4.19; 95% CI, 1.26–13.91; P=0.019), and polymicrobial infection (OR, 95% CI 0.07–0.69). However, the impact of appropriate antibiotic therapy on mortality was insignificant. In a subgroup of patients who received appropriate antibiotic therapy (n=58), antibiotic treatment modality-related variables, including combination or empirical therapy, also showed no significant association with survival.Conclusions: Patients with S. maltophilia pneumonia in ICU have high mortality rates. Older age, higher SOFA score, and corticosteroid use were independently associated with increased in-hospital mortality, whereas polymicrobial infection was associated with lower mortality. The effect of appropriate antibiotic therapy on prognosis was insignificant.
