Predicting Survival of Tongue Cancer Patients by Machine Learning Models
Authors: Vasilopoulos Angelos , Xi Nan Miles
Published: March 2023

Tongue cancer is a common oral cavity malignancy that originates in the mouth and throat. Much effort has been invested in improving its diagnosis, treatment, and management. Surgical removal, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy remain the major treatment for tongue cancer. The treatment effect is determined by patients’ survival status. Previous studies have identified certain survival and risk factors based on descriptive statistics, ignoring the complex, nonlinear relationship among clinical and demographic variables. In this study, we utilize five cutting-edge machine learning models and clinical data to predict the survival of tongue cancer patients after treatment. Five-fold cross-validation, bootstrap analysis, and permutation feature importance are applied to estimate and interpret model performance. The prognostic factors identified by our method are consistent with previous clinical studies. Our method is accurate, interpretable, and thus useable as additional evidence in tongue cancer treatment and management.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor penentu ketahanan bank di masa pandemi, khususnya pada Bank Perkreditan Rakyat. Data yang digunakan merupakan data bulanan periode Januari 2019 sampai dengan 2021 sebagai sampel desain dan periode 2021 sebagai sampel validasi. Dengan analisis regresi logistik diperoleh hasil bahwa capital adequacy ratio, net interest margin, return on asset, cash ratio dan loan to deposit ratio memiliki pengaruh positif signifikan terhadap ketahanan bank. Sementara itu, non performing loan, biaya operasional terhadap pendapatan operasional, deposit to capital ratio berpengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap ketahanan bank. Sedangkan, off balanced ratio tidak memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap ketahanan bank. Studi ini menegaskan bahwa BPR perlu menyempurnakan strategi pengelolaan bisnisnya termasuk yang terkait dengan dana pihak ketiga dalam menjalankan fungsi intermediasinya dan efisiensi bisnis. BPR memerlukan model prediksi ketahanan bank khususnya selama masa pandemi untuk memitigasi risiko.

Negara Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang memiliki iklim tropis, yang mana terdiri dari dua musim yaitu hujan dan musim kemarau. Kedua kondisi iklim tersebut mempunyai ciri perubahan cuaca yang cukup ekstrem seperti suhu, curah hujan dan arah angin. Kondisi tersebutlah yang menyebabkan negara Indonesia mempunya potensi sumber daya Alam dan potensi bencana. Menurut WHO (World Health Organization), Bencana merupakan setiap kejadian yang menyebabkan kerusakan, gangguan ekologis, hilangnya nyawa manusia, atau memburuknya derajat kesehatan atau pelayanan kesehatan pada skala tertentu yang memerlukan respon dari luar masyarakat atau wilayah yang terkena dampak. Yang mana bencana juga dikelompokkan menjadi tiga jenis yaitu; Bencana alam seperti gempa bumi, tsunami, gunung api, badai dan kekeringan, Bencana sosial karena ulah manusia seperti konflik, perang, serangan teroris, kegagalan teknologi dan hama pe-nyakit, Bencana campuran alam dan manusia yaitu banjir, kebakaran hutan dan kekurangan pangan. Sedangkan Banjir merupakan peristiwa dimana daratan yang biasanya kering bukan daerah rawa menjadi tergenang oleh air, hal ini disebabkan oleh curah hujan yang tinggi dan kondisi topografi wilayah berupa dataran rendah hingga cekung. Selain itu terjadinya banjir juga dapat disebabkan oleh limpasan air permukaan yang meluap dan volumenya melebihi kapasitas pengaliran sistem drainase atau sistem aliran sungai. Terjadinya bencana banjir juga disebabkan oleh rendahnya kemampuan infiltrasi tanah, sehingga menyebabkan tanah tidak mampu lagi menyerap air. banjir dapat terjadi akibat naiknya permukaan air lantaran curah hujan yang diatas normal, perubahan suhu, tanggul bendungan yang jebol. Adapun banjir terbagi menjadi 3 kategori Banjir genangan, Banjir bandang, Banjir rob, akibat naiknya permukaan air laut.

The Relationship of Dolarization with Macroeconomic and Institutional Indicators in Turkey
Authors: AK Halil
Published: March 2023

Dollarization is defined as the use of a foreign currency in a particular economy instead of, or in combination with, the national currency. Dollarization, which emerged as a natural consequence of increasing globalization and liberalization in capital markets, is an interesting topic for both academics and policymakers due to its significant effects on economies. Although the reasons for the emergence of dollarization may differ across countries, there is a consensus in the literature that the main factors causing dollarization are economic, political and structural instabilities. In this respect, although Turkey's dollarization story started in the early 1970s, the financial liberalization steps taken in the 1990s and the macroeconomic and structural instabilities caused the dollarization process in Turkey to show serious excesses. The climate of confidence that emerged because of the steps taken after the two economic crises in the early 2000s led to improvements in economic and structural indicators, thus initiating a process of reverse dollarization for Turkey. However, the de-dollarization process in Turkey only lasted until the early 2010s. As of the 2010s, an increase in the trend of unofficial dollarization is again observed for Turkey. The pandemic that emerged along with the economic and institutional instabilities experienced during this period caused dollarization rates in Turkey to follow a high course again. The aim of this study is to explain the dollarization story of Turkey by considering the dollarization concept in detail, and to examine the relationship between the partial dollarization process, which increased especially after 2010, with macroeconomic and institutional factors, with a qualitative research design. Since the dollarization process in Turkey has taken place in different directions in certain periods, this study examines the dollarization process in Turkey and the interaction of dollarization with economic and institutional indicators separately for the periods 1980-2001, 2001-2010 and 2010-2022.
A rare case report of extensive mandibular osteoma corrected by unilateral mandibulectomy: cytological, radiological, and pathological investigation
Authors: Tabarestani Amirhossein , nejad Masoud , Minaie Mohammad , Sahvieh Sonia , Nikzad Reza
Published: March 2023

Background:
Osteoma is a benign bone tumor that rarely affects animals. The most common bones involved with this tumor included the mandible, maxillofacial bones, and nasal sinuses. Definitive diagnosis is based on pathology findings which allow for differentiation with other bone lesions.
Case Description:
The patient, a five-year-old intact male Mongrel dog presented with a huge mandibular mass that involved both the right and left mandible, and led to dental occlusion. The radiography was performed and depicted the intense mass with a well-demarcated edge, a short transitional zone between normal and abnormal bone, and a smooth rounded radiopaque appearance. The investigation according to the fine needle aspiration showed the presence of oval to spindle shape cells with poorly malignancy criteria, fatty cells, reactive osteoblasts and osteoclasts based on a population of spindle-shaped cells, and low numbers of degenerated neutrophils, bacteria, and few macrophages. Then, the radiographic assessments and cytology findings demonstrated the osteoma and referred for surgical intervention. A unilateral mandibulectomy was performed, and the lesion was send to the histopathology laboratory. The histopathology evaluation showed osteocyte proliferation without malignancy features. The osteoblast cells also showed no atypical proliferation that endorses the osteoma tumor.
Conclusion:
Although, mandibular and maxillofacial bone resection in small animals have different tolerations, this patient became a candidate for surgery for future better nutrition and prevention of facial deformity and dental malocclusion. Follow-up after osteoma is one of the most necessary post-operation treatments to check the regeneration of the mass. There are considerable data in this report that should regard this tumor as a possible differential diagnosis for mandibular tumors.

Review Artikel: Pati pada Berbagai Sumber Tanaman
Authors: Harni Mimi , Anggraini Tuty , Rini Rini , Suliansyah Irfan
Published: March 2023

Ketergantungan Indonesia terhadap produk impor terutama tepung terigu semakin tinggi dari tahun ke tahun. Hal ini menjadi pertimbangan untuk mencari jalan keluar dari permasalahan ini karena Indonesia sendiri mempunyai potensi berupa umbi, serealia dan beberapa kacang-kacangan yang merupakan sumber karbohidrat berupa pati dan diharapkan dapat mengurangi penggunaan terigu. Pati pada masing-masing tanaman berbeda jumlahnya dan dipengaruhi oleh komposisi yang ada pada pati tersebut. Komposisi yang ada pati juga mempengaruhi ekstraksi yang dilakukan. Pati dari umbi-umbian lebih mudah untuk diekstrak walaupun hanya menggunakan air. Hal ini terjadi karena rendahnya kandungan protein dan lipid yang terdapat pada umbi sedangkan pada serealia dan beberapa kacang-kacangan hal ini lebih sulit dilakukan karena kandungan protein dan lipid lebih tinggi. Ekstraksi yang disarankan pada ekstraksi serealia dan beberapa kacang-kacangan adalah menggunakan alkali karena dapat menghilangkan pati pada permukaan sehingga menghasilkan pati yang lebih murni.  Satu hal yang harus menjadi pertimbangan dalam melakukan ekstraksi pilihlah metode yang ramah lingkungan agar tidak menimbulkan kerusakan.Metode yang dapat dilakuan untuk menghasilkan pati ada 3 jenis yaitu metode ekstraksi dengan air, ekstraksi dengan alkali dan ekstraksi dengan enzim.

Salah satu teknologi monitoring yang banyak dikembangkan saat ini adalah teknik monitoring menggunakan drone. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan kajian untuk mengetahui efektivitas pengolahan citra hasil pembajakan tanah menggunakan bajak piring yang diambil menggunakan drone untuk monitoring hasil pembajakan menggunakan bajak piring. Metode pengolahan citra yang digunakan yaitu metode KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor) untuk menghitung luas area pembajakan berdasarkan klasifikasi rasio indeks warna RGB (Red, Green, Blue) dan metode GLCM (Gray Level Co-Occurance Matrix) untuk menganalisa tekstur citra guna menduga kedalaman pembajakan. Pada penelitian ini Metode KNN terbukti dapat megklasifikasikan area terbajak dan area tidak terbajak namun akurasinya masih rendah. Semakin besar area yang tidak dibajak di lahan menyebabkan akurasi klasifikasinya juga semakin rendah. Sedangkan pada analisa dengan algoritma GLCM, ciri energi dan ciri entropi merupakan ciri yang paling baik untuk menduga kedalaman pembajakan karena memiliki koefisien korelasi (r) terbaik dibandingkan ciri statistic GLCM lainnya.

Professional Pledge in Social Work: Implications for Professional Identity and Value Integration
Authors: Agnimitra Neera , Sharma Seema
Published: March 2023

The social work profession lays a strong emphasis on internalizing and reinforcing core social work values and ethical standards in order to create a cadre of social workers who can withstand the criticalities of any crisis and commit themselves to firmly stand with those whose survival and well-being is fragile and “on the brink”. The performance of this role not only requires a dynamic and contextual knowledge base and evolving skills set, it mandates a deep rooted acquiescence with a fundamental set of values that shape the profession’s vision and mission, and establish the goals and priorities of the practitioners. The transition from an entry level neophyte to a competent social work professional entails a journey which is characterized by the assumption and bolstering of a professional persona that grounds the incumbent within the functional niche of social work. The present paper looks at the integration of a social work pledge as a viable means for social work incumbents to establish identification with social work values, don a professional identity, and assimilate with professional peers. It looks at the existing practice of pledge taking by highlighting the experience of a distinguished school of social work. It envisions the ‘pledge’ and the tradition of ‘taking the pledge’ evolving as a strong and more universal medium for creating an emotional connect of social work students with the value driven profession of social work. Keywords: Pledge, values, ethics, social work, profession

Authors: Shettima Musti Nana
Published: March 2023

Maerua angolensis leaves have been used traditionally for the treatment of several ailments which include but not limited to anaemia, jaundice, arthritis, insomnia, liver diseases and neurological disorders. Despite its widespread use and several reported beneficial uses, there is a paucity of data on its toxicity potential. This study was therefore designed to evaluate the phytochemical constituents and acute toxicity potential of hydromethanolic leaf extract of Maerua angolensis on albino wistar rats. Phytochemical screening was carried out using a standard procedure for the identification of phytochemicals as described in the literatures. Acute toxicity determination was done in two phases (using Lorke‟s method). In the first phase, the rats were divided into three groups of three rats each and were administered 10mg/kg, 100mg/kg and 1000mg/kg body weight of the hydromethanolic leaf extract of Maerua angolensis respectively. In the second phase, the rats were divided into three groups of one rat each and were administered 1600mg/kg, 2900mg/kg and 5000mg/kg body weight of the hydromethanolic leaf extract of Maerua angolensis respectively. Phytochemical screening revealed that the hydromethanolic leaf extract of Maerua angolensis contains flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, saponins, tannins and terpenoids. The rats did not show any signs or symptoms of toxicity following the administration of the extract during both phases. Therefore, it could be concluded that Maerua angolensis leaves contain essential constituents needed in the treatment and management of various ailments and are also safe for use as the LD50 was >5000mg/kg supporting its folkloric use in disease management.

Subjective destitution in art and politics: From being-towards-death to undeadness
Authors: Žižek Slavoj
Published: March 2023

Jacques Lacan coined the term “subjective destitution” to describe the concluding moment of a psychoanalytic treatment. This concept can also usefully be applied to art and to politics. In art, subjective destitution can be defined as a passage from being-towardsdeath to undeadness, in other words to the position of the living dead – this passage takes place between Shostakovich’s 14th symphony and his final symphony, the 15th. In politics, subjective destitution designates the passage of a political subject to a radical de-subjectivization, to becoming an object of a political cause.

¿Qué es el materialismo y cómo este opera en la praxis psicoanalítica? Esa es la pregunta a la cual este artículo intenta responder, para eso se realiza un breve recorrido histórico conceptual por algunas apuestas teórico-prácticas desde Freud, pasando por Lacan hasta pensadores contemporáneos. Se profundizó en algunas nociones de Slavoj Žižek, específicamente en su concepción materialista o lo que él mismo denomina «una refundación del materialismo dialéctico», donde se presenta una mezcla inconsciente no-toda. Es a propósito de dicha perspectiva teórica que en este trabajo se ponen en tela de juicio algunos debates clínicos desde la filosofía y el psicoanálisis.

Methodology: Thirty samples of 1 cm diameter and 5 mm height cylinders of temporary 3D resin (Alias C & B Temp, Dokuz Kimya, İstanbul, Türkiye) and standard 3D resin (Alias Sharp & Rigid, Dokuz Kimya, Dokuz Kimya, İstanbul, Türkiye) were produced with 3D printer (Photon Mono X, Anycubic). Residual resins were cleaned in Wash & Cure Plus (Anycubic) device using isopropyl alcohol and kept under UV light for 10 minutes in the same device to fully polymerize. Self-curing temporary acrylic resin (Imident, Imicryl, Konya, Türkiye) was prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions and 30 samples were prepared by transferring them to moulds of the same size. Half of the samples in each material were polished for 90 seconds with the same dentist using polishing paste (Universal Polishing Paste, Ivoclar Vivadent) (n=15). The surface of each sample was measured three times with a 120˚ angle difference using a profilometer (SJ-201, Mitutoyo, Kanagawa, Japan) and the average was taken. Levene test, t test, two-way ANOVA and Tukey test were used for statistical analysis. A p-value less than 0.05 was accepted for statistical significance.
Results: Roughness values 1.9173±0.25078 Ra in the Unpolished Temporary 3D Resin group, 0.2807±0.13317 Ra in the Polished Temporary 3D Resin group, 0.7760±0.17175 Ra in the Unpolished Standard 3B Resin group, 0 in the Polished Standard 3D Resin group It was found to be 0.1887±0.08340 Ra, 2.4827±0.79651 Ra in the Unpolished Cold Acryl group, and 0.6307±0.22118 Ra in the Polished Cold Acryl group.
Conclusion: The roughness of 3D printed materials is lower than that of conventional temporary acrylic resin and polishing significantly reduced roughness in all groups.
