Published: June 2022

After the closing of Dolly's localization in 2014, the Surabaya city government has purchased several guesthouses in Dolly and converted them into various kinds of craft production sites. The location which was previously a place of prostitution with the largest income in Southeast Asia was later turned into the largest MSME center in Surabaya. The Surabaya government continues to provide assistance to residents of EX Localization in order to create a better image, namely by inviting local community members to become MSME actors. DS.Point (Dolly Saiki Point) is a silent witness to the dark history of the City of Surabaya, but has now been designated by the Surabaya City Government as an area for commercial, economic, and tourism activities. DS.Point (Dolly Saiki Point) is under the auspices of the Surabaya City Food and Agriculture Security Service, which makes it a souvenir center that accommodates processed products or products from MSME activists from residents of EX Lokaliasai Dolly. The research method used is descriptive qualitative which refers to the identification of distinguishing traits or characteristics of a group of people, objects, or events in order to provide an overview of the Implementation of the Pentahelix Model Collaboration in the Context of Improving the Empowerment of MSMEs Ex Dolly Localization During the Covid-19 Pandemic. Data collection techniques were carried out through the process of observation, interviews and documentation. The theory used is Collaborative Governance. The results of the study show that the roles played by the penta helix actors are quite good and the collaboration created between them has been going well, this can be seen by the inability for the actors to stand alone in increasing the empowerment of SMEs Ex Dolly Localization. This also has a good impact on the perpetrators of the Ex Dolly Localization MSMEs under the auspices of DS Point (11pt, single line spacing, 1 paragraph).

DEVELOPMENT OF A POSTGIS-BASED METHOD FOR CREATING RISK MAPS OF NATURAL DISASTERS USING THE EXAMPLE OF GEORGIA
Authors: Natsvlishvili Levan , Jorjiashvili Nato , Kochoradze Vakhtang
Published: June 2022

This article discusses a method for creating a risk map of natural disasters for a specific area using PostGIS analysis. This method, which is described in detail, is based entirely on the use of open-source programs and spatial SQL directives. It is designed to use widely available GIS programs to create a flexible method that performs operations on OGC geometry. The area to be analyzed is covered with a polygonal grid. The size of the polygon is determined by the size of the study area. For each element of the grid (polygon), attribute values are determined for the traits characteristic of the area: seismic, landslide, mudflow, rockfall, population density, and number of buildings. The attribution values for geometry are assigned based on PostGIS analysis. The process of creating a risk map involves the summation of different hazard maps. Our method’s originality lies in the fact that the initial data is transformed so that it is possible to carry out map algebra operations with vector data. The method is designed to create risk maps based on OGC vector data analysis, which will help experts and stakeholders working on risk assessment and decision-making to develop a risk management strategy.

Ultrasonic monitoring of the VVER-1000 FA form change
Authors: Voronina Aleksandra V. , Pavlov Sergey V. , Amosov Sergey V.
Published: June 2022

A procedure has been developed to determine the geometrical parameters of fuel assemblies (FA) by an ultrasonic pulse-echo technique used for all types of light-water reactor FAs. The measurement of geometrical parameters is achieved through the pairwise installation of ultrasonic transducers opposite the FA spacer grid faces at a distance of not more than a half of the transducer acoustic field near-region length such that the acoustic axes of the pairwise transducers are parallel to each other. The advantages of the presented technique is that it enables monitoring of any FA modifications, including the VVER reactor assemblies with a different number of spacer grids.

The paper presents a mathematical model of the acoustic path developed in a geometrical acoustics approximation and its verification results. The model was used for computational and experimental studies of the ultrasonic test technique, and engineering formulas have been developed to calculate the errors of the transducer-measured distance to the FA surface. A code has been developed to simulate the FA form change monitoring and can be used to design new monitoring systems.

The developed technique to determine the VVER-1000 FA geometrical parameters was introduced at units 1 and 2 of the Temelin NPP, the Czech Republic, for the TVSA-T FA form change monitoring. The successful use of the proposed technique makes it possible to recommend it for use in inspection benches at other NPPs.

Authors: Rego-Lorca Daniela , Burgos-Blasco Barbara , Ginés-Gallego Cristina , Carrasco-López-Brea Mario , de Santos-Moreno María Teresa , Santos-Bueso Enrique
Published: June 2022

Purpose:

To evaluate retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in children with migraine, with and without aura, compared to healthy controls using optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods:

In this cross-sectional case–control study, patients with a diagnosis of migraine with aura (MwA) or without aura (MwoA) were considered and healthy children were included as controls. Age, sex, duration of migraine, number of episodes per month, duration of episodes, and use of prophylactic treatment with magnesium were recorded. All patients underwent complete ophthalmologic, neurologic, and pediatric examination. Optic nerve OCT images were obtained using Heidelberg Spectralis OCT (Heidelberg Engineering) and mean global RNFL thickness and the average thickness for each sector were noted.

Results:

Thirty-seven children were included: 17 with migraine (9 MwoA and 8 MwA) and 20 controls, the mean age being 13.8 ± 2.9 (range: 8 to 16) and 13.4 ± 2.5 (range: 7 to 16) years, respectively. No significant differences in RNFL thickness were found when comparing all patients who had migraine with healthy controls. However, children with MwA showed statistically significant reductions in RNFL thickness in the temporal (mean difference: 7.83; 95% CI: 0.52 to 15.14,
P
= .027) and inferior-temporal (mean difference: 16.06; 95% CI: 1.95 to 30.16,
P
= .027) sectors compared to patients with MwoA. None of the other sectors showed statistically significant differences between groups (all
P
> .05). In the migraine group, negative correlations were detected between the number of episodes per month and RNFL thickness in the nasal-superior quadrant (
r
= −.420;
P
= .021).

Conclusions:

Children with MwA may present a decrease in RNFL thickness, which is associated with the number of episodes per month.

In this work we address the question of existence and non existence of positive solutions to a class of fractional problems with non local gradient term. More precisely, we consider the problem

   \begin{document}$ \left\{ \begin{array}{rcll} (-\Delta )^s u & = &\lambda \dfrac{u}{|x|^{2s}}+ (\mathfrak{F}(u)(x))^p+ \rho f & \text{ in } \Omega,\\ u&>&0 & \text{ in }\Omega,\\ u& = &0 & \text{ in }(\mathbb{R}^N\setminus\Omega), \end{array}\right. $\end{document}

where $ \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N $ is a $ C^{1, 1} $ bounded domain, $ N > 2s, \rho > 0 $, $ 0 < s < 1 $, $ 1 < p < \infty $ and $ 0 < \lambda < \Lambda_{N, s} $, the Hardy constant defined below. We assume that $ f $ is a non-negative function with additional hypotheses. Here $ \mathfrak{F}(u) $ is a nonlocal "gradient" term. In particular, if $ \mathfrak{F}(u)(x) = |(-\Delta)^{\frac s2}u(x)| $, then we are able to show the existence of a critical exponents $ p_{+}(\lambda, s) $ such that: 1) if $ p > p_{+}(\lambda, s) $, there is no positive solution, 2) if $ p < p_{+}(\lambda, s) $, there exists, at least, a positive supersolution solution for suitable data and $ \rho $ small. Moreover, under additional restriction on $ p $, there exists a solution for general datum $ f $.

Published: June 2022

The internet of things (IoT) is a global network that connects devices and people, yet it still confronts various challenges. This chapter explores the challenges banks face and how blockchain technology (integrated with IoT devices) can help address them. The chapter has also conducted a review of the different consensus mechanisms employed by the blockchain systems to find out which consensus method should be deployed by IoT-based banks. The underlying consensus method was first created for permissionless blockchain on a trustless network model using proof-of-work, which is a mathematical challenge that demands a lot of computing power. The findings of the study revealed that considering the regulatory requirements such as permissioned blockchains are best suitable for banks due to know your client (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) regulatory requirements. Additionally, for such a blockchain network, the practical byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) and proof of authority (PoA) consensus methods ensure business resiliency.

Multilingualism in Minority Groups
Authors: Yardımcı Aylin , Sarıçoban Arif
Published: June 2022

Multilingualism, defined as the ability of speaking two or more languages, is a phenomenon gaining importance each passing day. Accordingly, there is a growing interest in how multilingual individuals make use of their linguistic repertoires in the language learning process. This chapter aims to explore the crosslinguistic interaction of multilingual English language learners living in Mardin in their writing tasks and thinking processes. The results yielded that bi/multilingual individuals actively use their previously learned languages flexibly. There was also evidence translanguaging across all languages with the dominance role of Turkish. The findings propose that proficiency of learners in their L1 and L2 should not be underestimated in evaluating proficiency in L3 as multilingual individuals use different resources of different languages all together for effective communication, and there are no ‘boundaries' across their languages as proposed by Canagarajah.
Affordances and Challenges of Translanguaging Pedagogy for In-Service Content Area Teachers
Authors: Choi Jayoung , Angay-Crowder Tuba , Shin Ji Hye
Published: June 2022

This chapter explores how two in-service content area teachers responded to translanguaging pedagogy that was briefly introduced in a teacher education course. Qualitative analysis of the online course work, interviews, and researcher journals revealed that each teacher demonstrated a translanguaging “stance” as well as potential in creating “design” and in initiating “shifts” while their understandings and implementation could be more refined. While understanding translanguaging mostly as a strategy helped the teachers develop a translanguaging stance more easily, it did not lead to more critical examination of complex language ideologies that directly affect teaching of multilingual learners. The study has implications for teacher educators who grapple with creating room for translanguaging, an equitable educational practice for multilingual students, in existing curricula.

Published: June 2022

Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is performed in patients with minor strokes and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) to prevent further strokes. However, most operators do not intervene in older adults. We had a 92-year patient with recurrent minor strokes with two possible proximate causes – cardioembolism and significant symptomatic left carotid stenosis. This patient continued to have recurrent ischemic events in the left carotid territory despite optimum management of the cardioembolic source with dual antiplatelets and anticoagulation and was successfully treated with left CAS. The role of carotid revascularization in older patients with high-grade symptomatic carotid stenosis and cardiac comorbidities is discussed.

Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp., known as pigeon pea, is one of the major grain legume crops of the tropical world. It recognizes as an ethnomedicine to possess various functions, such as helping in healing wound and cancer therapy. We investigated whether 95% ethanol extracts from C. cajan root (EECR) protect against methylglyoxal (MGO)-induced insulin resistance (IR) and hyperlipidemia in male Wistar rats and explored its possible mechanisms. The hypoglycemic potential of EECR was evaluated using α-amylase, α-glucosidase activities, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation. For in vivo study, the rats were divided into six groups and orally supplemented with MGO except for Group 1 (controls). Group 2 was supplemented with MGO only, Group 3: MGO + metformin, Group 4: MGO + Low dose-EECR (L-EECR; 10 mg/kg bw), Group 5: MGO + Middle dose-EECR (M-EECR; 50 mg/kg bw), and Group 6: MGO + High dose-EECR (H-EECR; 100 mg/kg bw). EECR possessed good inhibition of α-glucosidase, α-amylase activities, and AGEs formation (IC50 = 0.12, 0.32, and 0.50 mg/mL), respectively. MGO significantly increased serum levels of blood glucose (GLU), glycosylated hemoglobin, homeostasis model assessment of IR, AGEs, lipid biochemical values, and atherogenic index, whereas EECR decreased these levels in a dose-dependent manner. EECR can also act as an insulin sensitizer, which significantly decreased (47%, P < 0.05) the blood GLU levels after intraperitoneal injection of insulin in the insulin tolerance tests. The hypoglycemic and antihyperlipidemic mechanisms of EECR are likely through several possible pathways including the inhibition of carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzymes (α-glucosidase and α-amylase) and the enhancement of MGO-trapping effects on inhibition of AGEs formation.

Published: June 2022

Background:

Localization of a small pulmonary nodule is essential for proper and prompt management. Hence, studies explored different modalities for localizing pulmonary nodules. These modalities include preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided localization, intraoperative CT- guided localization in hybrid operating rooms (ORs), and intraoperative electromagnetic navigation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the preliminary results of the mobile CT scanner in localizing small pulmonary nodules in the ORs.

Materials and Methods:

A total of nine patients with small single pulmonary lesions were managed with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lung resection after mobile CT-guided localization at the Taipei Veterans General Hospital in 2020. The characteristics of patients and their pulmonary lesions and the perioperative parameters for localization and resection were evaluated.

Results:

All lesions were successfully located and removed via uniportal VATS without the occurrence of major complications. The mean size of nodules was 8.33 mm. The mean distance of the nodules to the pleura was 14.9 mm. These measurements were obtained via CT images. The mean time of preparation, localization, and resection time were 70.33 min, 22.56 min, and 51.56 min, respectively.

Conclusion:

Localization of small pulmonary nodules using a mobile CT scanner in the OR is feasible, safe and flexible.

Low-dose computed tomography screening has recently increased the detection rate of small pulmonary nodules. The surgical techniques and policies for managing screen-detected lung nodules are different from those for advanced lung cancer. In the past decade, several novel tumor localization methods and surgical management policies have been developed for such patients. In this article, we reviewed studies related to two different screen-detected lung nodule localization techniques at our institute. We also reviewed studies related to the surgical policies of sublobar resection and the application of nonintubated thoracoscopy in the management of screen-detected lung nodules at our institute. These novel techniques and surgical policies may be helpful to physicians in the management of screen-detected lung nodules.
Mouth opening range for Jordanian population and its relation to gender, age, height, and weight
Authors: Hawwa Mirvet Mohammed
Published: June 2022

Aim:

Maximum mouth opening (MMO) is an important parameter in the assessment of several clinical situations, and its measured value is documented to have gender, age, and anthropometric variation.

Background:

This study measures the average value of MMO in a sample of the Jordanian population. MMO might be different for different regions of the world and is important for all dental disciplines. We attempt to find correlations between MMO and body characteristics such as gender, age, body weight, and height.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 565 Jordanian patients (191 males and 374 females; aged 3–70 years) were randomly selected for this cross-sectional study. Mouth opening was measured using a calibrated ruler between the incisal edges of the upper and lower central incisors (interincisal length), and weight and height were measured using a medical scale. In addition, age and gender were recorded. Patients were informed of the study and agreed to participate. Statistical differences of MMO between male and female patients in each age group were assessed using the t-test, the correlation between the MMO and body weight and height was assessed using a Pearson correlation coefficient and simple linear regression using the SPSS program.

Results and Conclusions: The mean MMO across the sample was 45 ± 4.78 mm with a range of 36–61 mm. The mean MMO in males was 45.7 ± 5.2 mm, varied from females, which was 44.65 ± 4.4 mm in all age groups with the level of significance of (P = 0.013). No significant relation was found between age and MMO with a P of (>0.05), but a significant correlation was found between MMO and body weight and height with a P of (<0.01).

Network security is a crucial concern when it comes to computation, concerns like threats can have high consequences, and critical information will be shared with unauthorized persons. This paper presents a detailed survey on Fifth Generation (5G) and security aspect. This is more predictable since the core technology; the synonymous approach is possible with Fifth Generation (5G) and Beyond Technologies though with limited access. Many incidents have shown that the possibility of a hacked wireless network, not just impacts privacy and security worries, but also hinders the diverse dynamics of the ecosystem. Security attacks have grown in frequency and severity throughout the near past, making detection mechanisms harder.

TANGGUNG JAWAB ORANG TUA DALAM PENDIDIKAN ANAK BERPOLA PEDAGOGIK TRANSFORMATIF KRISTIANI
Authors: Karlau Sensius Amon
Published: June 2022

Di masa kini masih terdapat orang tua Kristen yang belum memahami dengan baik tanggung jawabnya sebagai pendidik dalam penanaman nilai-nilai iman kristiani bagi anak sejak dini di rumah. Penelitian ini bertujuan menggali konsep pendidikan Kristen anak sebagai bagian dari tanggung jawab orang tua yang berkaitan dengan panggilan pedagogik transformatif kristiani. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pedagogik transformatif kristiani dalam pendidikan Kristen anak berfokus pada proses individuasi oleh orang tua Kristen dalam mendidik pribadi anak yang otonom. Proses ini bersifat komunikatif dan dialogis oleh seorang anak, bagi dirinya dan orang tua sebagai “aku dan aku-yang lain”, juga dengan Tuhan sebagai AKU-yang Lain”. Proses yang sama dilakukan orang tua kepada anak dalam lingkungan proksimalnya sebagai proses individuasi antara “aku dengan aku-yang lain” dalam panggilan pedagogik transformatif kristiani yang berorientasi pada masa depan melalui imajinasi yang kreatif agar anak menjadi dewasa dalam Kristus sesuai dengan Kitab Suci.
