Published: July 2020

Background

The literature on the prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and its correlates in Middle Eastern countries is scarce. This study aimed at investigating the prevalence of IBS and its associated factors among Jordanian medical students.
Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study at two medical faculties in northern Jordan. Using convenience sampling, we recruited 1094 medical students. Participants completed an anonymous semi-structured questionnaire inquiring about socio-demographic, lifestyle, and clinical characteristics, as well as IBS symptoms. We used the Rome III criteria to diagnose IBS and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to identify anxiety and depression. The chi-square test was used to determine differences between categorical variables and stepwise logistic regression was used to measure the association between IBS and its risk factors.
Results

The prevalence of IBS in our sample was 30.9%. Binary logistic regression analysis of factors associated with IBS indicated having a family history of IBS as a strong predictor of the disease (OR = 8.09; CI: 5.84–11.19). Students at second and third-year levels of their study had ORs of about 4 (CI: 2.20–6.54) and 3 (CI: 1.70–5.30) of suffering from IBS, respectively, as compared to students at first-year level (p = 0.001). Increased anxiety score (OR = 1.88; CI: 1.30–2.71), poor sleep quality (OR = 1.76; CI: 1.13–2.76), female gender (OR = 1.59; CI: 1.14–2.20) and living in a school dormitory (OR = 1.35; CI: 1.00-1.84) were significantly associated with IBS (p < 0.05). Conversely, consumption of junk food, BMI of participants, and physical inactivity were not significantly associated with IBS occurrence.
Conclusions

Irritable bowel syndrome is a highly prevalent disorder in a university-based population in the Jordanian context, with several modifiable and non-modifiable factors being associated with its occurrence. A better understanding of the associated risk factors is crucial for a holistic therapeutic approach. Longitudinal studies are necessary to assess whether this association is causal.

Published: July 2020

Background
Cereals high in resistant starch (RS) are gaining popularity, as their intake is thought to help manage diabetes and prediabetes. Number of patients suffering from diabetes is also increasing in Asian countries where people consume rice as a staple food, hence generation of practically growable high RS rice line has been anticipated. It is known that suppression of starch branching enzyme (BE) IIb increases RS content in cereals. To further increase RS content and for more practical use, we generated a non-transgenic be1 be2b double mutant rice (Oryza sativa) line, which completely lacked both proteins, by crossing a be1 mutant with a be2b mutant.
Results
The be1 be2b mutant showed a decrease in intermediate amylopectin chains and an increase in long amylopectin chains compared with be2b. The amylose content of be1 be2b mutant (51.7%) was the highest among all pre-existing non-transgenic rice lines. To understand the effects of chewing steamed rice and cooking rice flour on RS content, RS content of mashed and un-mashed steamed rice as well as raw and gelatinized rice flour were measured using be1 be2b and its parent mutant lines. The RS contents of mashed steamed rice and raw rice flour of be1 be2b mutant (28.4% and 35.1%, respectively) were 3-fold higher than those of be2b mutant. Gel-filtration analyses of starch treated with digestive enzymes showed that the RS in be1 be2b mutant was composed of the degradation products of amylose and long amylopectin chains. Seed weight of be1 be2b mutant was approximately 60% of the wild type and rather heavier than that of be2b mutant.
Conclusions
The endosperm starch in be1 be2b double mutant rice were enriched with long amylopectin chains. This led to a great increase in RS content in steamed rice grains and rice flour in be1 be2b compared with be2b single mutant. be1 be2b generated in this study must serve as a good material for an ultra-high RS rice cultivar.

Published: July 2020

Background
Benzobicyclon (BBC) is a β-triketone herbicide (bTH) used in rice paddy fields. It has the advantages of high efficiency, low toxicity, high crop safety, and good environmental compatibility, and shows efficacy against paddy weeds resistant to other types of herbicides. However, because BBC is not safe for some important indica rice varieties, it is currently only registered and applied in japonica rice areas.
Results
In this study, by analyzing haplotypes of the bTHs broad-spectrum resistance gene HIS1 and phenotypes for BBC in 493 major indica rice accessions in China, we identified a novel non-functional allelic variant of HIS1 besides the previously reported 28-bp deletion. Through detection with markers specific to the two non-functional mutations, it was clear that 25.4% of indica conventional varieties, 59.9% of restorers and 15.9% of sterile lines were susceptible to BBC. In addition, due to natural allelic variations of the HIS1 gene in sterile and restorer lines, some two-line hybrid sterile lines were sensitive to bTHs, and the corresponding restorers were resistant. We showed the potential of effectively using bTHs to solve the problem of two-line hybrid rice seed purity due to self-crossing of sterile lines during hybrid rice seed production. Finally, allelic variations of the HIS1 gene may also play an important role in the mechanized seed production of hybrid rice.
Conclusions
Our findings provide guidance for the application of BBC in indica rice areas, and provide a non-transgenic approach to solve the problem of seed purity of two-line hybrid rice.

BackgroundNo clinical scoring system has yet been established to estimate the likelihood of COVID-19 and to determine the suitability of diagnostic testing in suspected COVID-19 patients.MethodsThis was a single-center, retrospective, observational study of patients with suspected COVID-19 and confirmed COVID-19. Patient background, clinical course, laboratory and CT findings, and the presence of alternative diagnoses were evaluated. Clinical risk scores were developed based on clinical differences between patients with and those without COVID-19.ResultsAmong 110 patients suspected of COVID-19, 60.9% underwent PCR testing based on the judgment of physicians. Two patients were found to have COVID-19. The clinical characteristics of 108 non-COVID-19 patients were compared with those of 23 confirmed COVID-19 patients. Patients with COVID-19 were more likely to have a history of high-risk exposures and abnormal sense of taste and smell. Significantly higher rates of subnormal white blood cell count, lower eosinophil count, and lower procalcitonin level were observed in the COVID-19 group than in the non-COVID-19 group. When blood tests, CT findings, and the presence of alternative diagnoses were scored on an 11-point scale, i.e., “COVID-19 Clinical Risk Score”, the COVID-19 group scored significantly higher than the non-COVID-19 group, with more than four points in the COVID-19 group. All non-COVID cases that did not undergo PCR had a score of 4 or less.ConclusionsThe COVID-19 Clinical Risk Score enables risk classification of patients suspected of having COVID-19 and can help in decision-making in clinical practice, including appropriateness of diagnostic testing.

Published: July 2020

Objective: Amplicon sequencing targeting 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) has been widely used for the profile analysis of the microbial community from fermented food samples. Previous results of 16S rRNA analysis metagenome showed that Firmicutes was the dominant phylum in tempeh. However, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) steps on amplicon sequencing analysis and intragenomic heterogeneity within 16S rRNA are believed to contribute to bias in the estimation of microbial community composition. An alternative approach known as shotgun metagenomic might be able to avoid this limitation. In this study, we employed total metagenomic DNA fragments that were sequenced directly for taxonomic dan functional profiling analysis.Results: Taxonomic profiling showed that Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Bacteroidetes were the dominant phyla from the direct shotgun metagenomic analysis in all tempeh samples. In terms of composition, this shotgun metagenomic study revealed that Proteobacteria was the most abundant phylum. Functional profiling showed that iron complex outer-membrane recepter protein (KEGG ID: K02014) was the most transcribed genes based in this metagenomic analysis. The binning pipeline could reveal almost complete whole genome sequence of Lactobacillus fermentum, Enterococcus cecorum, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter baumannii.

Published: July 2020

Background

Oral health is a vital area of public health. Access to dental services are particularly important among Indigenous populations at a global level. This scoping review aimed to investigate challenges in the provision and utilization of oral health services among Indigenous Australians. The findings may be an important contribution to the literature and facilitate policymakers in reducing inequities in dental service access and utilisation among this vulnerable population.
Methods

This scoping review was conducted up to June 10, 2020. Five main databases were searched, including PUBMED, SCOPUS, ISI Web of Science, EMBASE and PROQUEST. The main key words were: oral health, dental health, utilization, provision, access, Indigenous, Native, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. Arksey and O’Malley`s protocol was applied, which comprises 5 steps of: (1) identifying the research question; (2) identifying relevant studies; (3) study selection; (4) charting the data and collating and; (5) summarising and reporting results. Thematic analysis was used to summarize and analyse the data applying MAX QDA10 software for qualitative data analysis. For a better understanding of the themes and subthemes, a thematic network was presented.
Results

Results show that there are six main themes and fourteen sub-themes affecting Indigenous Australians` utilization and provision of oral health services. Personal characteristics, Socio-economic status and challenges regarding access were that the main factors influencing utilization of oral health services. The findings suggest that challenges relating to public health, policymaking and service provision can affect Indigenous Australians provision to oral health services.
Conclusion

Benefits in Indigenous Australian access and utilization of oral health services may improve if policy makers at both national and local levels increase resourcing in this important public health sector. A deeper understanding of the social and cultural nuances driving Indigenous Australians’ reluctance to attend for dental care is crucial.

Authors: Lai Sha , Lu Li , Zhou Zhongliang , Shen Chi , Yang Xiaowei , Zhao Yaxin , Zhang Xiaolong
Published: July 2020

Background
Family physician–contracted service (FPCs) has been recently implemented in Chinese primary care settings. This study was aimed at measuring the effects of FPCs on residents’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and equity in health among the Chinese population.
Methods
The study data was drawn from the 2018 household health survey (Shaanxi Province, China) using multistage, stratified cluster random sampling. We measured HRQoL using EQ-5D-3L based on the Chinese-specific time trade-off values set. Coarsened exact matching (CEM) technique was used to control for confounding factors between residents with and without a contracted family physician. The concentration index (C) was calculated to measure equity in health.
Results
Individuals with a contracted family physician had significantly higher HRQoL than those without, after data matching (0.9355, 95% CI: 0.9302–0.9409 vs. 0.8995, 95% CI: 0.8926–0.9063; P < 0.001). Additionally, the inequity in HRQoL among respondents with a contracted family physician was significantly lower than those without a contracted FP (Cs of EQ-5D utility score: 0.0084, 95% CI: 0.0047–0.0122 vs. 0.0263, 95% CI: 0.0187–0.0340; p < 0.001).
Conclusions
This study highlights the positive effects of FPCs on HRQoL and socioeconomic-related equity in HRQoL. Future efforts should prioritize the economically and educationally disadvantaged groups, the expansion of service coverage, and the competency of family physician teams to further enhance health outcome and equity in health.
CD56 Expression in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma is Highly Dependent on the Histologic Subtype: A Potential Diagnostic Pitfall
Authors: Cho Uiju , Kim Yourha , Jeon Sora , Jung Chan Kwon
Published: July 2020

Background
Loss of CD56 expression has been regarded as a diagnostic marker of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). However, certain variants of PTC can aberrantly express CD56.
Methods
Using a digital-image analysis tool, we evaluated H-scores of CD56 immunostaining in 216 thyroid tumors.
Results
The H-score of the CD56 of all PTCs was lower than that of noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) (p < 0.001). The H-scores of CD56 were lower in classic PTC, the infiltrative follicular variant, and the diffuse sclerosing variant than in other PTC variants (p < 0.001), whereas the H-scores were higher in tall cell variant, Warthin-like variant, and cribriform-morular variant than in classic PTC (p < 0.001). The optimal cut-off value of H-scores for the CD56 expression was 180 for differentiating the NIFTP from the follicular adenoma and 30 for the differential diagnosis of NIFTP and infiltrative follicular variant PTC.
Conclusions
CD56 expression is predominantly lost in classic and infiltrative follicular variants of PTCs and more preserved in the other histologic subtypes of PTC and NIFTP. CD56 is particularly useful for differentiating PTC from follicular-pattern thyroid neoplasms, but the aberrant expression in uncommon variants of PTC could be a diagnostic pitfall.
Assessment of the fishery, growth and mortality characteristics of the cassava croaker, Pseudotolithus senegalensis (Sciaenidae) from coastal waters of Ghana
Authors: Okyere Isaac , Blay John
Published: July 2020

This paper reports on the fishery and some population parameters of the cassava croaker (Pseudotolithus senegalensis) at Anlo Beach near Shama (5° 01' N, 1°37' W) in the Western Region of Ghana. The study was conducted from July 2012 to June 2013 to contribute to information on the dynamics of demersal stocks in the country. Beach seining was the prime fishing method in the area with the fishing season spanning July to March. Catch per unit effort (CPUE), determined as catch per net haul per day was 9.5 kg per haul in July 2012, 110 kg per haul in January-February 2013 and 47 kg per haul in March 2013. The species was absent from the fishery from April 2013 to June 2013. Monthly catches varied from 2,295 kg to 31,500 kg, and specimens of the fish measured 7.5 cm TL to 105.4 cm TL and weighed 2.9 g to 7,634 g. The length-weight relationship of the population was described by the equation: BW = 0.005TL3.04 (r = 0.99), and grouping the fish at 5 cm class intervals showed modal lengths at 15.0 – 19.9, 35.0 – 39.9 and 60.0 – 64.9 cm TL. Analysis of the length-frequency distribution using the ELEFAN programme indicated an asymptotic length (L∞) of 110.3 cm TL, a growth coefficient (K) of 0.2 yr-1, and total (Z), natural (M) and fishing (F) mortality coefficients of 0.68yr-1, 0.42 yr-1, and 0.26 yr-1 respectively, for the population. Longevity of the fish was estimated to be 15 years. A low exploitation level of the stock is suggested by the calculated exploitation ratio, E= 0.38. These population characteristics are compared with those of other West African P. senegalensis populations.

Introduction and hypothesis: Urinary incontinence (UI) during exercise (athletic incontinence) affects about 30% of CrossFit practitioners. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CrossFit academies were closed, impacting on several dimensions of the health of these athletes. We aimed to evaluate the effect of quarantine due to COVID19 pandemic on the training volume and UI during exercises for female crossfitters. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed among 197 female CrossFit practitioners. An online questionnaire was emailed containing questions about frequency, duration and intensity of training and data related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether UI stopped among participants, they were asked about the possible reasons why this happened. A 5% significance level was stablished.Results: Mean age of the participants was 32 years old, with an average frequency of training of 50 minutes per day, four times/ week. Most participants lived in an apartment (65.5%) and with another person (40.1%). Main CrossFit training location during quarantine was inside home (55%). There was a decrease in training intensity in 64% of the respondents. Exercises with their own body weight, such as air squat (98.2%) followed by push up (92.2%) were the most performed. UI was reported by 32% of participants before the COVID-19 pandemic, and only 14% of them during the pandemic (OR = 0.32[0.19-0.53],p <0.01; univariate analysis). Practitioners reported that the reason possibly related to UI improvement was the reduction of training intensity and not performing double under exercise. Conclusion: Quarantine by COVID-19 reduced in 18% of UI during exercises by CrossFit practitioners.

Background Lung cancer has been the leading cause of tumor related death, and 80%~85% of it is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Even with the rising molecular targeted therapies, for example EGFR, ROS1 and ALK, the treatment is still challenging. The study is to identify credible responsible genes during the development of NSCLC using bioinformatic analysis, developing new prognostic biomarkers and potential gene targets to the disease. Methods Firstly, three genes expression profiles GSE44077, GSE18842 and GSE33532 were picked from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to analyze the genes with different expression level (GDEs) between NSCLC and normal lung samples, and the cellular location, molecular function and the biology pathways the GDEs enriched in were analyzed. Then, gene function modules of GDEs were explored based on the protein-protein interaction network (PPI), and the top module which contains most genes was identified, followed by containing genes annotation and survival analysis. Moreover, multivariate cox regression analysis was performed in addition to the Kaplan meier survival to narrow down the key genes scale. Further, the clinical pathological features of the picked key genes were explored using TCGA data.Results Three GEO profiles shared a total of 664 GDEs, including 232 up-regulated and 432 down-regulated genes. Based on the GDEs PPI network, the top function module containing a total of 69 genes was identified, and 31 of 69 genes were mitotic cell cycle regulation related. And survival analysis of the 31 genes revealed that 17/31 genes statistical significantly related to NSCLC overall survival, including 4 spindle assembly checkpoints, namely NDC80, BUB1B, MAD2L1 and AURKA. Further, multivariate cox regression analysis identified NDC80 and MAD2L1 as independent prognostic indicators in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) respectively. Interestingly, pearson correlation analysis indicated strong connection between the four genes NDC80, BUB1B, MAD2L1 and AURKA, and their clinical pathological features were addressed.Conclusions Using bioinformatic analysis of GEO combined with TCGA data, we revealed two independent prognostic indicators in LUAD and LUSC respectively and analyzed their clinical features. However, more detailed experiments and clinical trials are needed to verify their drug targets role in clinical medical use.

Authors: Wei Xindong , Wang Fengyan
Published: July 2020

Although scholars take the view that intelligence is a necessary condition for wisdom, intelligent people tend to prioritize and focus on their own immediate goals and interests, and often act unwisely. In this study we focused on the moderating effect of Zhongyong thinking in the relationship
between crystallized intelligence and wisdom. Zhongyong thinking is a Confucius interpersonal style, the use of which can help intelligent people to think of others as well as themselves. Participants in our study were 103 students at a Chinese college, who completed all measures in a laboratory
setting. Results show there was both a significant positive relationship between Zhongyong thinking and wisdom, and a moderating effect of Zhongyong thinking in the relationship between crystallized intelligence and wisdom. These findings provide new insight into the effect of Zhongyong thinking
on the intelligence–wisdom behavior transformation process.

Published: July 2020

The work is devoted to the development of a high-performance deep learning algorithm related to the diagnosis and classification of defects of water-repellent membranes. The mechanism of constructing visual models of the membrane surface is discussed. This allows to get the representative training data set. The proposed methodology consists in the sequent transformations of pixel-image intensities to find defected fragments on the membrane's surface. The computational algorithm is based on the architecture of convolution neural networks. To assess its effectiveness, the "confidence of confidence" criterion is proposed. The presented computations show that the methodology can be successfully applied in material sciences, for example, to study the properties of building materials, or in forensic science when examining the causes of construction catastrophes.

Published: July 2020

The work is devoted to studying the influence of initial geometric imperfections on a value of the peak load for the compressed stiffened plate with the two-fold buckling load. The finite-element set MSC PATRAN – NASTRAN was used for solving the set tasks. When modelling the stiffened plate, flat four-unit elements were used. Geometric non-linearity was assumed for calculations. The plate material was regarded as perfectly elastic. Buckling forces of stiffened plate at the two-fold buckling load were calculated (simultaneous buckling failure on the form of the plate total bending and on the local form of wave formation in stiffened ribs). Equilibrium state curves, peak load decline curves depending on initial imperfection values and the bifurcation surface were plotted.

Published: July 2020

Among the main objectives of the marriage discourse is to obtain offspring and maintain the survival of Adam's children. Ideally, in every household, every parent is present and can match the child's growth and development. But in reality, there are children who are forced to be sent to an orphanage to be cared for and cared for and fulfilled their needs in order to avoid stranded child victims. This situation is often triggered due to children born into orphans, or orphans, or even orphans who grow up without ever seeing even the faces of both parents, or because of economic factors that make the sianak family decide to place them in care. This situation results in the many we find orphanages and social communities as an extension of the government in protecting and protecting every child abandoned by his parents who are then protected, cared for and cared for. One of them is by the Siti Aisyah Orphanage in Mandailing Natal Regency. The protection offered by Siti Aisyah Orphanage includes; safeguarded and protected by the minds of every child, guarded and guaranteed continuity of education, protected nasab from children who are abandoned by their own parents with good guidance and care, guarded the position of each treasure by managing various kinds of assistance that is fully used to meet all the needs of every child . This paper presents whether the Siti Aisyah Orphanage has carried out child protection in accordance with the review of maqasid ash-shari'ah which has five main main elements: Protection of religion (hifzun ad-din), protection of the soul (hifzun nafs), protection of reason (hifz al-'aql), protection and preservation of offspring (hifz an-nasl) and guarding and protecting property (hifz al-mal) Keywords: Orphanage, maqasid asy-shari'ah, protection

Authors: Anshari Ismail , Tihalimah Tihalimah
Published: July 2020

Traditional Dayah education in Aceh which has historically contributed to providing resplendent output, but is now starting to face serious challenges that lead to suboptimal quality of education. The study of fiqh in traditional dayahs that have produced quality graduates began to decline. Data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation analyzed through a qualitative approach show some significant findings. First, traditional dayahs in Aceh in fiqh learning have adopted the curriculum of the Aceh Dayah Education Office. Second, the integration of instructional media in the teaching of fiqh in traditional dayahs in Aceh has not been able to improve the quality of fiqh learning. Thirteen, the continuity of innovation in the integration of instructional media in fiqh learning is greatly influenced by internal and external support so that continuous and comprehensive innovation becomes a necessity so that the maximum output produced. This paper suggests a transformation in fiqh learning in traditional dayahs by actualizing learning oriented to the mastery of the material through the integration of learning media.

AbstractThe ability of synthesis is an ability to integrate parts or elements logically, so that it is transformed into a new structural pattern or form. The low ability of student synthesis will affect student learning outcomes. One alternative that can be used in mathematics learning is the AIR learning model (Auditory, Intellectually, Repetition). The AIR Model is a model where the teacher as a facilitator and students are active in using their senses to build their own knowledge. This study aims to find out how the ability of the synthesis of students in learning mathematics through the AIR learning model in SMA Negeri 3 Kejuruan Muda. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method. In this study, the population was all students of class X MIA in State Vocational High School 3, totaling 78 students. The sample in this study was taken randomly, which is class X MIA1, amounting to 25 students. The instrument used in this study took the form of tests and interviews. Based on the results of the data obtained that the average value of the pretest was 33.16, and the average value of the percentage of students' synthesis abilities was 10.67%. While the average posttest score was 60.16, and the average value of the percentage of students' synthesis abilities was 61.33%. So it can be concluded that the synthesis ability of students in class X MIA 1 of SMA 3 Vocational Youth before using using the AIR (Auditory Intellectually Repetition) learning model is classified in the low category but after using the AIR learning model (Auditory Intellectually Repetition) there is an increase that is classified in the medium category . Keywords: Synthesis Ability, AIR Learning (Auditory, Intellectually, Repetition)
PENTINGNYA BIMBINGAN DAN KONSELING UNTUK MENGURANGI PROKRASTINASI AKADEMIK SISWA
Authors: Aini Zamratul , Heni Rizka
Published: July 2020

Belajar merupakan kewajiban bagi siswa, siswa sebagai subjek belajar di sekolah dituntut untuk memiliki pengelolaan waktu belajar yang baik dalam mengerjakan tugas yang diberikan guru sehingga membutuhkan pemanfaatan waktu secara baik, agar semua kegiatannya dapat berjalan dengan efektif dan efisien serta terhindar dari penundaan atau disebut prokrastinasi. Prokrastinasi akademik merupakan kebiasaan yang harus ditinggalkan dalam mencapai kesuksesan belajar. Akan tetapi yang banyak terjadi pada siswa yaitu menunda-nunda dalam mengerjakan tugas yang diberikan guru. Banyak hal yang menyebabkan siswa melakukan prokrastinasi dengan alasan, siswa berfikir masih banyak waktu untuk mengerjakan tugas, siswa tidak menyukai mata pelajaran tersebut sehingga malas dalam mengerjakan tugas yang diberikan. Kerugian yang dihasilkan dari perilaku prokrastinasi adalah tugas tidak terselesaikan, atau terselesaikan namun hasilnya tidak maksimal karena sudah deadline, sehingga menimbulkan kecemasan sepanjang waktu pengerjaan tugas, yang berakibat jumlah kesalahan cenderung tinggi karena individu mengerjakan dalam waktu yang sempit. Selain itu, siswa yang melakukan prokrastinasi akan sulit berkonsentrasi karena ada perasaan cemas, sehingga motivasi belajar menjadi rendah, tidak percaya diri, mengganggu pencapaian akademis, kecakapan untuk menguasai kelas, serta kualitas hidup. Oleh karena itu, dibutuhkan seorang konselor yang prfesional dan kompeten untuk memberikan layanan bimbingan dan konseling yang efektif kepada siswa yang mengalami masalah tersebut dan mengurangi prilaku prokrastinasi siswa. Banyak hal yang bisa dilakukan oleh guru BK/Konselor untuk siswa yang mengalami prokrastinasi yaitu dengan berbagai macam layanan bimbingan dan konseling.  Kata Kunci: Bimbingan dan Konseling, Prokrastinasi Akademik

Exploring the Efficiency of Artistic Practices within the Context of their Interaction
Authors: Andrew Miller
Published: July 2020

This exposition presents the artistic research project ‘Exploring the Efficiency of Artistic Practices within the Context of their Interaction’, which examines the ways in which artistic practices interact with one another. It understands practices as the organised media and structures through which a researcher is able to initiate and continue the process of environmental constitution, the embodied process through which the world emerges as meaningful for and with us. The project is situated within the context of a phenomenological approach to consciousness and sense-making. It demonstrates the potential of artistic practices as phenomenological methods; practices not merely for the creation of art but as vehicles for investigation into human experience.

The exposition is separated into two sections:

The first section attempts to present—that is, to make present—the environment as constituted by the researcher through his engagement with the four main artistic practices; descriptive writing, auditory diagramming, sketching and composing. As part of these practices, the initial engagement with the researcher's surroundings was established through the practices of listening and hearing - making this a primarily aural undertaking. The artefacts are given to the reader in a way that hopes to facilitate desired conditions in which the researcher’s perceived environment becomes present. The artefacts relate directly to the practices which allowed the researcher’s understanding of his environment, and are therefore powerful objects, which may allow the reader to come into contact with the same dynamics that allowed the environment to appear in the first place.

The second section contains a reflective text which looks back on this process of environmental constitution in an attempt to understand the role of each artistic practice within the context of their interaction. It also contextualises the project within the framework of artistic research, by understanding the artistic practices not only as methods for art creation, but also as mediators of human experience, and therefore as tools for understanding the way the world emerges with us. The text, therefore, simultaneously addresses the idea of consciousness as an enactive process, one which sees a blurring of agency between researcher, practice and environment.

The reflection is split into two sections, each referring to two different phases of research: the first, an open and generative approach to the engagement of the practices. The second, a pre-determined and deliberate structure for this engagement.

Objectives

To determine the optimal quantity of learning data needed to develop artificial intelligence (AI) that can automatically identify cephalometric landmarks.

Materials and Methods

A total of 2400 cephalograms were collected, and 80 landmarks were manually identified by a human examiner. Of these, 2200 images were chosen as the learning data to train AI. The remaining 200 images were used as the test data. A total of 24 combinations of the quantity of learning data (50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 2000) were selected by the random sampling method without replacement, and the number of detecting targets per image (19, 40, and 80) were used in the AI training procedures. The training procedures were repeated four times. A total of 96 different AIs were produced. The accuracy of each AI was evaluated in terms of radial error.

Results

The accuracy of AI increased linearly with the increasing number of learning data sets on a logarithmic scale. It decreased with increasing numbers of detection targets. To estimate the optimal quantity of learning data, a prediction model was built. At least 2300 sets of learning data appeared to be necessary to develop AI as accurate as human examiners.

Conclusions

A considerably large quantity of learning data was necessary to develop accurate AI. The present study might provide a basis to determine how much learning data would be necessary in developing AI.
