Authors: Fulceri Federica , Ryskalin Larisa , Morucci Gabriele , Soldani Paola , Ratti Stefano , Manzoli Lucia , Gesi Marco
Published: December 2024

A deep understanding of gross anatomy is imperative for healthcare professionals for clinical examination, diagnosis, and safe and effective treatment of their patients. In this regard, satisfactory assessment of musculoskeletal disorders by physical therapists (PT) requires an in-depth knowledge of the morphology, position, and spatial relations of the structures of the locomotor system. Within this frame, traditional anatomical teaching and learning practices alone appear as a limit. Although they represent the mainstay of anatomy education, formal lectures, textbooks, or atlases only provide a theoretical knowledge of gross anatomy. Contrariwise, cadaver dissection offers unique advantages, namely appreciation of 3D concepts of body organization and spatial relationships between anatomical structures, being the most significative ones. Again, hands-on educational experiences can stimulate student interest, increase knowledge retention, and enhance the development of clinical skills. Thus, the use of human cadaver dissection is of paramount importance in the development of PT’s core competencies, such as clinical education and reasoning. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the appraisal and attitude toward the cadaver dissection experience of physical therapists (n=56) attending the postgraduate course in Sports Physiotherapy at the University of Pisa. The one-day human cadaver dissection course was held at the Institute of Human Anatomy of the University of Bologna. At the end of the course, the PT were invited to complete a self-administered questionnaire. All participants agreed that dissection is important, relevant, and highly beneficial to their anatomy education. They also perceived that this educational experience has the potential to improve learning outcomes that are essential to the development of healthcare professionals. The results presented in this study provide preliminary evidence that cadaver dissection is a highly valuable tool for developing fundamental skills and competencies in the training and professional careers of PT.

Published: December 2024

Introduction. Rare but significant anatomical differences in the biliary ducts, such as having two ducts, can create challenges in surgeries like laparoscopic cholecystectomy, according to a study that examined a case of double cystic duct found during cadaver dissection and its implications in practice. Material and method. In the study, dissections were done on 25 cadavers at the Anatomy Department of the University of Medicine Pharmacy Science and Technology in Târgu Mureș, where a cadaver with a secondary cystic duct anomaly was observed. A series of measurements and histological examinations were conducted to validate the results and juxtapose them with prior literature. Results. The secondary cystic duct showed a shape resembling the letter “Y,” with separate insertions of the ducts at the common hepatic duct level with the same macroscopic anatomical features. Histological examinations revealed normal biliary epithelium and tubular shaped structure. Conclusion.Finding a secondary duct underscores the importance of vigilance during surgery because such variations can raise the chances of bile duct damage during gallbladder cholecystectomy. It is advised to use imaging, before surgery and cholangiography during surgery to manage the risks linked to these abnormalities.

EXPLORING THE HABIT OF INTERNET USE AND PERCEIVED PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT AMONG ADOLESCENTS FROM LOWER SOCIOECONOMIC GROUPS IN UTTAR PRADESH
Authors: Dr. Jaya Bharti  , Dr. Archana Kumari Anand  , Dr. Sandeep Kumar Verma  , Harshika Singh
Published: December 2024

The use of the internet is a major developmental factor in the lives of adolescents. While the relevant correlations of internet use have been documented previously, there is a lack of information specifically regarding adolescents from lower socio-economic groups. This is particularly important because adolescents are more sensitive to the negative aspects of online experiences. The current study aims to explore the internet usage and parental involvement among adolescents from socio-economically disadvantaged areas in five urban school districts in Uttar Pradesh. A total of 250 students participated, with 90% being between the ages of 14-16. Virtually all socio-economically disadvantaged adolescents had access to the internet, and 88.5% reported spending more than two hours online daily, often on apps like Instagram and YouTube. A consistent finding across various countries was that girls are more likely to discuss their internet use with their parents and ensure that their parents are aware of what they are doing online. However, for boys, parents do not monitor whether they are using the internet appropriately or how much time they spend online. The results indicate that parents play a crucial role in showing interest in their adolescents' internet usage, with a particular need for attention towards boys.

Twórczość Józefa Mackiewicza i Barbary Toporskiej w obiegu akademickim w Polsce po roku 1980 – wybrane zagadnienia. Szkic do badań
Authors: Reszka Agnieszka
Published: December 2024

Comparing the edition of the works of émigré authors, who until the 1980s functioned only in the second circulation of Polish literature in the country, it can be seen that in the case of the works of Józef Mackiewicz and Barbara Toporska, the interest of readers, which had been inhibited for some time, is now reviving and gaining strength again. Apart from this assumption – the first thesis of the following article – an attempt will be made to present the diversity and multifaceted nature of the scholarly reception of the writers’ works, including in the analysis the presentation of publications summarising international projects (e.g. the reception and translation of Mackiewicz’s works in Germany). Another issue that will be presented is the disproportion in the academic circulation of the works of both writers, with as yet little representation of the literature on the subject related to Barbara Toporska.
From Tourism to Agriculture: Elucidating Community Well-being in Gunung Mulu National Park during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Published: December 2024

: Local communities who live surrounding Gunung Mulu National Park (GMNP), a UNESCO World Heritage Site mostly depend on ecotourism activities held in the park. Their socio-economic status has been improved in alignment with accommodation, transportation, and tourist guide services provided. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted these tourism activities in GMNP to the point where they are required to look for alternatives for subsistence due to the restriction of the tourism sector globally. Considering these challenges; their well-being, which might be more fragile due to living in an isolated area became an interest of local authorities for social welfare assistance. Consequently, this study aims to assess the well-being of the local community based on their level of satisfaction with the environmental, economic, and social attributes during the pandemic and to inform related stakeholders. A validated questionnaire was distributed to 99 local communities who lived within and near the GMNP. In addition, eight key informants, including tribal chiefs, homestay operators, boatmen, and farmers, to describe the welfare-related phenomenon that occurs in the area were interviewed. The findings indicate that most local communities are satisfied with the environment and the social aspect, but not with the economic aspect, which is their monthly income. This forces them to engage in gardening, fishing, animal husbandry, and other small-scale agriculture activities for food security despite their lack of agricultural expertise. By emphasising agricultural skills through related intervention courses, various stakeholders can implement a more effective management strategy toward building a more disaster-resilient community in the area.

Published: December 2024

Pineapple cultivation involves several operations, and planting is considered one of the critical operations. The existing machine cannot be applied because it will damage the plastic mulch. This study aims to present a design concept for the development of a pneumatic-powered pineapple transplanter. The major components will be the planting mechanism and the sucker feed mechanism that will be integrated into a semi-autonomous sucker planting mechanism by soil opener, which consists of a puncher and digger to allow the sucker to enter into the grow bed and then compact with soil. The puncher and digger are powered by pneumatic means. The pineapple transplanter was designed with a width of 1074mm and a clearance of 320mm, which could maneuver over the soil bed. From the CAD simulation, it takes 57mm of extending actuator to open the digger 45 degrees. Air compressors provide 8 bars of pressure to punch a hole in the soil with 5 bars of pressure. The design can continue with fabrication and can be used for future research.
Factores que influyen en el tipo de cambio en México: relación peso mexicano – dólar estadounidense
Authors: Felix-Armenta Jimmy
Published: December 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es describir el comportamiento del tipo de cambio peso mexicano/dólar estadounidense en el periodo 2003-2023. La aproximación metodológica es a partir de la técnica de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios (MCO) para determinar el grado de influencia de variables económicas sobre el tipo de cambio. Los resultados indican que el nivel de exportaciones de México y de Estados Unidos, la balanza comercial mexicana y las importaciones estadounidenses ocasionan que el tipo de cambio se aprecie. En contraste, la inflación de México, el aumento de la deuda mexicana y estadounidense y las importaciones mexicanas provocan una depreciación del peso mexicano. La evolución del tipo de cambio muestra una tendencia hacia el alza a través de los 20 años de estudio que se ha caracterizado por etapas de volatilidad muy marcadas, por lo que es necesario diseñar políticas monetarias que reduzcan el impacto del exterior y promuevan el fortalecimiento de la moneda mexicana.

Authors: PREMCHANDER MUNIMANDA , REKHA B. BHANU , A. AKSHAYA  , D. MANISHA
Published: December 2024

Cyber attacks are growing with the rapid development and wide use of internet technology. Botnet attack emerged as one of the most harmful attacks. Botnet identification is becoming challenging due to the numerous attack vectors and the ongoing evolution of viruses. As the Internet of Things (IoT) technology is developing rapidly, many network devices have been subject to botnet attacks leading to substantial losses in different sectors. Botnets pose serious risks to network security and deep learning models have shown potential for efficiently identifying botnet activity from network traffic data. In this research, a botnet identification system is proposed based on the stacking of artificial neural network (ANN), convolutional neural network (CNN), Machine Learning Models, and recurrent neural network (RNN) (ACLR). The experiments are conducted by employing both the individual models, as well as, the proposed ACLR model for performance comparison. The UNSW-NB15 dataset is used for botnet attacks and contains nine different attack types including ‘Normal’, ‘Generic’, ‘Exploits’, ‘Fuzzers’, ‘DoS’, ‘Reconnaissance’, ‘Analysis’, ‘Backdoor’, ‘Shell code’ and ‘Worms’. Experimental results indicate the proposed ACLR model gains 0.9698 testing accuracy showing that it is successful in capturing the intricate patterns and characteristics of botnet attacks. The proposed ACLR model’s k values (3, 5, 7, and 10) for a K-fold cross-validation accuracy score is 0.9749 indicating that the model’s robustness and generalizability are demonstrated by k = 5. In addition, the proposed model detects botnets with a high receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (ROCAUC) of 0.9934 and a precision-recall area under the curve (PRAUC) of 0.9950. Performance comparison with existing state-ofthe-art models further corroborates the superior performance of the proposed approach. The results of this research can be helpful against evolving threats and enhance cyber security procedures

Authors: Anwar Devi Indah , Supendi Arif , P M Seva Andreas
Published: December 2024

Tingginya laju pertumbuhan penduduk ditambah dengan urbanisasi di Kawasan industri, menyebabkan peningkatan pada pemenuhan kebutuhan perumahan dan bangunan penunjang lainnya yang mengakibatkan peningkatan pada air limpasan karena banyaknya lapisan tidak tembus air dan berkurangnya jumlah lahan terbuka. Air limpasan tersebut salah satunya berasal dari air hujan yang tidak dapat tembus ke dalam tanah, melainkan langsung melimpas ke saluran drainase, sungai atau laut. Konsep surface zero run off atau biasa disederhanakan menjadi hansip (tahan dan simpan) pada kawasan rumah tinggal dan bangunan penunjang lainnya, dipandang sebagai salah satu metode pengelolaan air hujan untuk mengatasi air limpasan permukaan. Diantara kegiatan yang dilakukan berupa edukasi dan sosialisasi pembuatan sumur dan kolam resapan, pelestarian lingkungan berupa pengelolaan sampah yaitu pemisahan sampah organik, anorganik dan B3 serta daur ulang sampah dan pembersihan saluran drainase turut pula dilakukan dalam kegiatan ini untuk menunjang keberhasilan penerapan konsep surface zero run off. Desa Cidahu Kecamatan Cidahu Kabupaten Sukabumi terletak di kaki Gunung Salak, termasuk wilayah hulu di Kabupaten Sukabumi, sehingga jika air limpasan tinggi maka akan menyebabkan banjir di daerah hilir. Pemberdayaan masyarakat dilakukan melalui edukasi dan praktik langsung sehingga diharapkan dapat mengurangi air limpasan penyebab banjir ke daerah hilir.

Published: December 2024

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation and joint damage. Transcriptomics has been utilized in RA profiling to identify locations that were previously unclear. A robust technique for examining the intricate transcriptomic landscape of RA is next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). This review has explored the use of RNA-seq to understand the pathophysiology of RA. Detailed discussions are presented on the fundamentals of RNA-seq technology, how RNA extracted from the synovium is incorporated into gene expression patterns analysis, and how RNA-seq is superior to other methods. We have explored several applications of RNA-seq in RA research, emphasizing its potential for identifying dysregulated pathways, detecting novel biomarkers, and characterizing gene expression levels. Furthermore, this review has clarified the regulatory networks and signaling pathways identified in RNA-seq research and investigated the possibility of using transcriptomic RNA-seq as a diagnostic tool for RA. In conclusion, we have highlighted the significance of using transcriptome data to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the molecular processes underlying RA. Hence, this review underscores the revolutionary influence of RNA-seq on RA research, paving the way for improved diagnostics, tailored therapy, and the discovery of novel treatment targets for individuals with RA.
The transformative role of artificial intelligence in endoscopy
Authors: Khan Usama
Published: December 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare, with endoscopy emerging as a key area for its application. AI-driven tools are advancing gastrointestinal diagnostics by significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of detecting conditions such as colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Notably, real-time AI-powered polyp detection has shown significant promise in reducing missed diagnoses, particularly for flat or subtle lesions. Furthermore, AI algorithms excel in lesion characterization, aiding in clinical decision-making and reducing the need for unnecessary biopsies. A major advantage of AI lies in its ability to mitigate variability in diagnostic performance, supporting less experienced endoscopists and contributing to standardized care across diverse clinical settings. Despite these advancements, challenges persist, including the need for large-scale validation of AI models, ensuring their generalizability across populations, addressing ethical and privacy concerns, and mitigating the risk of over-reliance on AI at the expense of human expertise. This perspective explores the transformative potential of AI in endoscopy, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful implementation, ethical considerations, and continued innovation to optimize its integration into clinical practice.

Sugarcane is a vital crop in Indonesia, serving as the primary raw material for sugar production. Unfortunately, leaf diseases in sugarcane often pose a serious threat, potentially causing significant economic losses. These diseases are typically characterized by leaf morphological changes, making early detection and accurate classification essential to prevent further spread. This study compares three algorithms for identifying sugarcane leaf diseases: K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Each algorithm employs a different approach to recognize patterns and disease characteristics: SVM separates data by identifying the optimal hyperplane, KNN classifies based on the proximity of data to training data, while MLP, as an artificial neural network, can recognize more complex patterns. The deep learning model VGG16 was utilized for feature extraction from sugarcane leaf images to enhance classification accuracy. The dataset used comprises 8,200 images of sugarcane leaves, categorized into four classes: 2,050 images of Cercospora spot gray, 2,050 of common rust, 2,050 of northern blight, and 2,050 of healthy leaves. Each category was further divided into training and testing datasets in an 80:20 ratio, with 6,560 images for training and 1,640 images for testing. The results indicate that the MLP algorithm achieved the best performance, with accuracy, precision, and recall values of 97.4%. This establishes MLP as the most effective choice for classifying sugarcane leaf diseases.

This research aims to describe the influence of the use of learning media on students' interest in learning and learning outcomes at MI Tanjung Pura. The background to this research is the use of learning media which is rarely used in learning. Lack of student interest is influenced by the learning process which is considered boring or lacking in variety. As well as a lack of motivation to learn in the learning process which results in a lack of student understanding of the learning material so that learning outcomes decrease. This research is field research using a quantitative approach with survey research methods. The research population was 174 students and the sample in this study was 63 students from grades 1 to 6 at Kaliputih State Elementary School. The data collection methods used are questionnaires and documentation. The data analysis technique used is simple linear regression analysis. The results of this research show that there is a significant influence of the media and students' interest in learning on the learning outcomes of students in grades 1 to 6 at MI Tanjung Pura.

SHOULD LIKERT DATA BE TRANSFORMED USING SUMMATED RATING SCALE? A CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS STUDY ON THE CONTINUOUS LEARNING
Authors: Safitri Islamiani
Published: December 2024

Continuous Learning competence can be measured through self-assessment to minimize interview failure. The problem arises when the Continuous Learning instrument is developed using a Likert Scale. Can the data from the distribution of the instrument be used directly, or must it be converted using the summated rating scale approach? This study aims to compare the results of instrument analysis through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) based on direct data and conversion data. The method used is descriptive quantitative, involving 281 undergraduate students in Indonesia. Instrument analysis includes estimating reliability, convergent validity, and construct validity through CFA. The study's results show that the reliability and convergent validity of the data converted using the summated rating scale are higher than those of the direct data. However, the direct data produces a better measurement model fit test value compared to the converted data. However, the difference in value between the two types of data is very small and does not have any meaningful difference. Therefore, the data from the instrument can be directly analyzed without converting to the summated rating scale. This study provides insights to researchers and academics in developing a continuous learning instrument. Additionally, it offers insight into how processing Likert data on the Continuous Learning instrument is very straightforward and does not require data conversion through a summated rating scale.

Many middle school students face challenges in developing algebraic thinking skills, which hinders their understanding and application of algebraic concepts. This study aims to develop an E-Pocket Book as a learning medium to optimize middle school students’ algebraic thinking skills. The research employs a development method using the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The subjects of this study are eighth-grade students from SMPN 14 in Serang City. The research instruments include both tests (cognitive tests) and non-tests (questionnaires). The cognitive test was administered to 59 students during the field trial and 8 students during the limited trial, with the results showing significant improvement in students’ algebraic thinking skills, with increases of 71% and 79%, respectively. The non-test instruments consist of two types of questionnaires: assessment questionnaires and response questionnaires. The assessment questionnaire was given to two subject matter experts, who rated the e-pocket book as feasible (85.2%), and one media expert, who rated it highly feasible (93%). The response questionnaire was distributed to both mathematics teachers and students, with an overall feasibility rating of 80% from teachers and 87% from students. The findings indicate that the e-pocket book is a viable learning medium and effectively enhances students’ algebraic thinking abilities.
