Authors: Mohamed Nawastheen Fareed , Ketheeswaran Kanapathippillai , Kausalya Perera S.A.S , Shifaan Shajehan
Published: August 2024

With the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Sri Lankan universities turned to video conferencing to maintain academic activities, with Zoom being a popular choice. This study explores postgraduate students' experiences in two Master of Education (M.Ed.) programmes at a Sri Lankan university regarding Zoom-based online learning. It investigates student perceptions across four key areas: affordability, access and instructor support, quality of teaching, and effectiveness and fairness of assessments. A survey approach was used, with a researcher-developed questionnaire administered online to 189 students studying Sinhala, Tamil, and English. The questionnaire included close-ended questions, Likert-scale items, and open-ended questions, with data analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings indicate that students generally found Zoom-based instruction accessible and effective. However, areas for improvement were identified, such as enhanced instructor support, a more interactive learning environment, and comprehensive course coverage. Concerns also emerged about instructor support during assessments, clarity of formats, and time allocation. Qualitative data highlighted issues with session length, technology affordability, and a preference for diverse assessment methods. The study provides insights for enhancing M.Ed. programmes conducted online. Recommendations include faculty capacity development in online teaching, promoting the affordability of Zoom-based learning, and refining assessment practices. Addressing these areas and seeking student feedback can help institutions create high-quality, engaging, accessible, and effective Zoom-based programmes.

Published: August 2024

Women's leadership continues to change in response to the development of various social changes that occur. This research aims to dig deeper into the communication style of women's leadership in a communication group context, focusing on women leaders in the Universitas Mercu Buana student organization for the 2022/2023 academic year. This research refers to Communication Theory by Sasa Djuarsa Sendjaja which states that leadership styles in groups are divided into five categories, authoritarian style, bureaucratic style, diplomatic style, democratic style, and laissez-faire or group-centered style. With a qualitative case study approach, researchers collect data through data collection and analysis such as in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. This research uses the constructivism paradigm. In this study, researchers interviewed 5 main key informants and 10 additional informants who are administrators of 5 student organizations active at Universitas Mercu Buana. This research applies Miles and Huberman’s qualitative data analysis technique, then source triangulation is used as a data validity checking technique. The results showed a comprehensive picture of how women leaders in student organizations use their communication styles to give orders, communicate, make decisions, motivate, supervise performance, and lead their group members. The findings show variations in women's leadership communication approaches, with some leaders highlighting assertive leadership, while most lean more towards an inclusive and democratic approach. The researcher can conclude that this study provides a deep insight into the role and contribution of women leaders in group communication, particularly in student organizations.

Published: August 2024

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar el impacto de los métodos de facturación en los cargos de servicios públicos de acueducto, aseo y alcantarillado para usuarios residenciales. Se plantea la hipótesis de que el método de facturación influye significativamente en el monto facturado a los usuarios. Para este diseño experimental se utilizó la metodología Taguchi, la cual permite evaluar múltiples factores de manera eficiente. Se identificaron dos variables de respuesta: Diferencia de lectura (Medido): Monto facturado basado en la lectura real del medidor. Facturación promedio (Estimada): Monto facturado basado en un promedio estimado. El diseño experimental Taguchi consideró 2 niveles (medido y estimado) y 6 factores (estratos socioeconómicos), resultando en un total de 16 iteraciones. Se recolectaron 10 lecturas mensuales para cada iteración. Mediante el análisis de las gráficas de medias y señal de ruido, se determinó que existe una diferencia significativa entre los montos facturados a usuarios con medición real versus estimación promedio. Los usuarios facturados por medición presentaron menores variaciones y valores más cercanos al objetivo. Los resultados sugieren que la facturación por medición real es el método más adecuado para la facturación, control y transparencia de los servicios públicos de acueducto, aseo y alcantarillado. Se recomienda implementar la medición con medidor en todos los casos para garantizar una facturación precisa y justa para los usuarios residenciales.

Authors: Srivastava Himanshu , Kalyanpur Tejas , Singh Pruthi Harnoor , Negi Preety
Published: August 2024

Background: Concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) followed by brachytherapy is the standard of care treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer (stage IB3-IVA disease). The present study aimed to evaluate the success achieved by CCRT followed by computed tomography (CT)-based brachytherapy in patients with locally advanced carcinoma cervix in a tertiary care center.
Methods: This was a prospectively conducted retrospective observational study of patients with cervical carcinoma, treated at Capitol Hospital, Jalandhar, Punjab, from January 2018 to December 2021. Data were captured from the electronic medical records of the hospital. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier curve. The survival analysis was assessed by the patient’s age, tumor stage, histology, and overall treatment duration.
Results: This study included 129 patients treated with CRT followed by CT-based brachytherapy. The median follow-up was 30 months (range 8-67 months). The 2-year OS and DFS were 83.5% and 80.2%, respectively. On univariate analysis, the factors associated with better survival were histology, and treatment duration, although not statistically significant.
Conclusions: Our treatment results with definitive CCRT followed by CT-based brachytherapy for locally advanced cervical carcinoma are comparable to the published literature. The prognostic factors such as tumor histology and treatment duration (<65 days) influenced patient survival, with squamous cell carcinoma, and completion of the treatment within 65 days resulted in better survival rates.

Authors: Revolus Obelson , Alexis Joseph V. , Alfred Jean R. , Gilles Bernard
Published: August 2024

Ectopic pregnancy is one of the most common problems in the first trimester of pregnancy. It is rare for a tubal pregnancy to progress into later life. It is a potentially fatal condition for a woman if not detected early. Our case concerns a 33-year-old patient at 18 weeks of pregnancy, seen for abdominal pain, for whom, after evaluation, we evoked an abdominal pregnancy which, on per-op, turned out to be an evolving tubal pregnancy. This case highlights the limitation of ultrasound in distinguishing between abdominal and tubal pregnancies at this stage of pregnancy, and the need to emphasize the importance of prenatal follow-up and early ultrasound in all pregnant women, as a missed ectopic pregnancy can have serious maternal complications.

Open versus laparoscopic colectomy - which is better from immunity-point of view: three-year single-center retrospective study
Authors: Hussein Tawfik A. T. , Ajawi Ahmad M.
Published: August 2024

Background: Objective of the study was evaluation of the impact of colorectal surgery on patients' immune milieu through comparison of outcomes of patients had open colectomy (OC) versus laparoscopic colectomy (LC) for colorectal carcinoma (CRC).
Methods: The design of the study was retrospective observational study. The study setting was Mediclinic Airport Road Hospital, Abu Dhabi, UAE. Files of CRC patients who had LC (group-LC) or OC (group-OC) were revised for perioperative data and estimated serum inflammatory cytokines' levels. Statistical analyses of the relation between the postoperative (PO) outcomes and serum cytokines' levels estimated in samples obtained immediately PO.
Results: Patients underwent LC had significantly lower amount of operative bleeding and shorter operative time with lower frequency of patients required ICU and shorter duration of ICU stay. LC provided lower pain scores with shorter duration till 1st ambulation and passage of flatus and shorter duration of hospital stay. LC significantly reduced serum cytokines' levels in immediate PO samples of LC than OC patients. At 1-week PO, serum cytokines' levels were significantly lower than in immediate PO samples with significant difference between LC and OC samples. Moreover, epidural anesthesia (EA) and opioid-free general anesthesia (GA) had lower serum cytokines' levels than opioid-based GA. Statistical analyses defined laparoscopic surgery under EA and non-opioid analgesia as the highly significant predictor for favorable PO surgical outcomes and proper control on surgical immune response.
Conclusions: LC significantly improved PO surgical outcomes and attenuated the surgical immune response with significant difference than OC. EA juxtaposed with opioid-free analgesia significantly provided further control on the surgical immune response.
Survival and complications in splenic trauma: surgical versus non-surgical outcomes
Authors: Kassis Mohamad B. A.
Published: August 2024

Background: Splenic injuries are common in trauma patients, accounting for approximately 20% of abdominal trauma cases. Given the spleen's anatomical vulnerability and the critical nature of timely intervention, understanding the impact of different management strategies on patient outcomes is essential. This study investigates the effectiveness of surgical versus non-surgical management in splenic trauma, focusing on mortality and complication rates based on injury severity and patient stability.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, analyzing trauma patients with splenic injuries admitted to Azahra Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022. Medical records were reviewed to collect data on patient demographics, injury severity, management strategies, and clinical outcomes.
Results: A total of 50 patients were included in the study, with 32 undergoing operative treatment. The analysis revealed that operative treatment was associated with significantly lower mortality rates (21% in surgical cases versus 4.3% in non-operative cases) and fewer complications (p<0.001). A positive correlation was observed between splenic injury stage and mortality, as well as between hemodynamic instability and complications.
Conclusions: Initial findings indicated higher mortality and complication rates in surgical patients; however, after controlling for confounding variables, operative treatment demonstrated an unexpected inverse correlation with both mortality and complications. This emphasizes the importance of personalized management approaches in splenic trauma to optimize patient outcomes.

Authors: Nigam Vinod Kumar , Nigam Siddharth
Published: August 2024

Subtotal cholecystectomy is a method of removing most of the gallbladder instead of whole of the gallbladder in case of a difficult gallbladder. The term “subtotal cholecystectomy” was introduced by Morse and Barb. Subtotal cholecystectomy is a bailout procedure undertaken in situations where the anatomical structures are not easy to identify making total cholecystectomy difficult and risky. We have done twelve cases from June 2019 to June 2024, while performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy as we could not continue, due to risk of injury and complications. Post-operatively there were some cases of mild bile leak, but no serious complications. All cases belong to Nassar scale grade 3 and 4. Here we are describing how and when subtotal cholecystectomy should be done.

Published: August 2024

Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus is mostly asymptomatic in humans till they progressively grow to larger masses mostly in liver lungs and spleen. Aim of this study is to study laparoscopic management of liver hydatid cyst (single and multiple) and combining it with most common laparoscopic procedure i.e. laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In case 1, a 23-year-old female presented with history of progressive epigastric fullness from last 1 year and dull abdominal pain since last 2-3 months. Ultrasound showed two hydatid cysts (one in each lobe of liver) and cholelithiais. She was managed laparoscopically for both pathologies and was discharged on drain on post-operative day 3. There were no perioperative complications. Post operatively drain was kept in view of biliary fistula which gradually reduced and stopped by day 3. This is the overall second case mentioned in literature and first case where cholelithiasis is managed along with two large hydatid cysts. In case 2, a 21-year-old male presented with complaint of dull aching pain abdomen and on evaluation was found to have a large cystic swelling originating from left lobe of liver and adherent to pericardial surface of diaphragm. He was operated laparoscopically and left subhepatic drain was placed in which, output was bilious for 4-5 days and was in decreasing trend. There was no other perioperative and post-operative complication. Laparoscopic surgery is becoming preferred modality in managing not only individual cases of abdominal hydatid cysts, but also along with other benign diseases like gall bladder.

Detection of anti-bacterial activity of silver nanoparticles from actinomycetes and testing its efficacy
Authors: G. Selambarasi  , P. Anusuya  , Cassinadane Ananda Vayaravel
Published: August 2024

Silver nanoparticles rank among the most promising metal nanoparticles that are less than 100 nm in diameter. Their compact dimensions and substantial surface area-to-volume ratio lend them distinct physical, chemical, and biological properties that make them appealing for a multitude of applications. They can be synthesized in a variety of physical, chemical, and biological methods, and one such technique is the green route synthesis of AgNPs from actinomycetes. While AgNPs have immense potential in a diverse range of applications, its bactericidal effect is the focus of this current work. AgNPs' antibacterial activity was evaluated in both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria at concentrations ranging from 25 to 150 μg. The bactericidal effect was more pronounced in gram-negative bacteria when compared to gram-positive bacteria. They exhibit twin actions of bactericidal assault and membrane rupture, which enable them to induce cell lysis and interfere with bacterial protein synthesis. Often alluded to as "Nano-antibiotics," these compounds may also serve as delivery systems for conventional antibiotics.

A Reception Study On Disinformation Of Covid-19 Vaccine Messages In Social Media Virtual Communities
Authors: Lestari Sinta
Published: August 2024

Disinformation messages about the Covid-19 vaccine are circulating in the community. This of course intersects with social, health, religious and political issues. One of the issues that is widely spread is about the Covid-19 vaccine, which has side effects when injected into a person's body, and contains dangerous and non-halal ingredients. This issue is widespread on social media, one of which is the various virtual WhatsApp communities in society. This article attempts to provide an explanation of this phenomenon from the Ecoding/Deccoding lens and the Interpretive Community. Data collection was carried out using in-depth interviews with three informants. The results of the study show that audiences using their life history positions, interpretive communities and their limited social communities also strengthen their meaning of this issue. This indicates that the text in the community is no longer seen as an extension of the message or addition of information, but is shown to maintain a community in the community in a relatively temporary period.
The Power Of Indonesia’s Liga 1 Digital Broadcast Platform In Influencing And Determining Kickoff Time
Authors: Naim Chanif Ainun
Published: August 2024

The overnight broadcast schedule of the 2021/2022 Liga Indonesia soccer broadcast has been repeatedly protested by various soccer enthusiasts because it can interfere with the biological clock and mental health of players and supporters. It is suspected that Indosiar and Vidio.com are interfering with PSSI, the national football body, and the league operator. This article examines how Indosiar and Vidio.com as the official broadcasters influence the broadcast by producing, distributing, consuming and rating a program. The digital content analysis answers these questions and helps assess the conclusions of this research which elaborates on digital and platform capitalism. The article finds that the paradigmatic logic underpinning the official broadcaster's commercial strategy is based solely on the collection of digital infrastructure data and the structuring of match viewing hours, rather than an understanding of the interactions of individuals involved in the social realm of soccer matches and television viewers or live streaming.

Authors: Hapsari Richiana , Yoma Bagus Pamungkas
Published: August 2024

This study assesses the impact of the Instagram campaign “25.000 Penentu Generasi Penerus” on the audience's cognitive response to Indonesia’s stunting education efforts. Using an explanatory quantitative method, data was collected via online questionnaires and analyzed using Variance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (VB-SEM) and Generalized Structured Component Analysis (GSCA). The findings suggest that Instagram content and perceived persuasiveness have a direct, positive, and significant influence on the cognitive responses of the @kemenkes_ri Instagram content viewers, with the effect being moderate to high. However, perceived persuasiveness significantly influences audience behavior change when it acts as a mediator. Thus, it is essential for the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (Kemenkes RI) to maintain high-quality messaging in stunting education content and to enhance the selection of highly credible figures as sources in the content.

Study Of The Problematic Tradition And Modernity In Islamic Thought Based On A Contemporary Approach
Authors: Rouf Abdul Mukti
Published: August 2024

This study is primarily concerned with the challenges posed by the Arab-Islamic revival and its relationship to the system of reason that is intrinsic to the Arab-Islamic tradition of thought. The object of this study can be traced through the dialectics of contemporary Islamic thought, as evidenced in the tenets of several dominant madhabs, including those espoused by fundamentalists, liberalists, Marxists and post-traditionalists. The data is studied and analysed through the lenses of hermeneutics and the sociology of knowledge. This study finds that one of the causes of the decline and stagnation of the revival of Islamic civilisation in terms of its epistemology is the unduly strong Arab-Islamic system of thought, which relies on the glory of the past without a critical reading of the past itself and of modernity as an achievement of Western civilisation.

The increasing development of digital archives requires an optimal solution to face challenges in its security aspects. These challenges can be overcome by using blockchain as an encryption that keeps the archive reliable and trustworthy. This study aims to determine the development of scientific article publications that identify the relationship between blockchain and archives. Data was obtained from the database published by Web of Science (WoS) from 2015-2023. The keywords used to obtain appropriate results are “Blockchain” and “Archive” based on topics. Then 106 documents were obtained, namely articles and proceedings papers. The search results were exported in BibTex format and analyzed bibliometrically using the biblioshiny web interface from R Studio software. The results of the analysis show that blockchain-related publications in digital archives are still not very developed. This is because publications have only started since 2015, which is the beginning of innovation in the application of blockchain in digital archives. In addition, it is supported by treemap and wordcloud analysis which did not find the word archive.

Rfid Technology in Library and Information Science
Authors: Velmurugan Dr. V. Senthur
Published: August 2024

The radiofrequency identification system (RFID) makes it possible for devices like computers or machines to automatically recognize things, record metadata, or control certain targets. A technique called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) makes it possible to identify objects without a direct line of sight. For administering the automated library and detecting theft, libraries are using the most recent technologies. The inventory, issuance, and return status of books, gadgets, and other objects in the library can all be monitored with the help of RFID systems. Additionally, it ensures that your library is secure and that no priceless resources are stolen from it. The library management system receives the ID number from the RFID system and uses it to retrieve the book, check it out, and produce a receipt. When a visitor returns a book, the tag responds with the ID number, and the system credits the user's account. The automated identification of library documents involved in a certain technical process requires reading data from the tag memory located in the working region of the RFID reader. Radio-frequency labels of the same type as the library labels but not those can also fall within the reading zone at the same time. Libraries must make sure that their RFID systems adhere to all applicable laws, keep them updated often, and instruct their employees and visitors on how to use them effectively.

Authors: Gaela John Carlo , Ofrin Darwin
Published: August 2024

Academic optimism defines talent, the desire to succeed, and optimism as the three factors that make success possible. Pedagogical content knowledge is specific to teachers and is based on how they connect their subject matter knowledge with pedagogical knowledge (what they know about teaching). Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge, and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life.
                        This study aims to determine whether a significant relationship exists between the MAPEH Teachers’ Academic Optimism, Pedagogical Content Knowledge, and Physical Literacy. The demographic profile of MAPEH teachers shows that most are female, married, between the ages of 41 and 50, have been teaching for more than six years, have a baccalaureate degree, and have participated in national training. The weighted mean was also employed to determine the academic optimism, pedagogical content knowledge, and physical literacy of MAPEH Teachers. The fact that the respondents' teachers assessed them as having high levels of self-efficacy in their teaching (mean = 4.80) indicates that they have attained a very high degree of academic optimism. With six domains and the highest mean for educational purposes (4.74), pedagogical content knowledge According to the respondents' accomplishments, it is clear that they have a very high level of understanding in the field of pedagogical content. With four domains and the highest mean for knowledge and understanding (4.41), physical literacy In light of the respondents' accomplishments, it is clear that they have a high level of physical literacy. Last but not least, the findings indicate that there was a substantial connection between academic optimism, pedagogical content knowledge, and physical literacy, with a correlation significant at the 0.01 level and a correlation significant at the 0.05 level.
