Authors: Rosida Sisi , Losi Rizky Vita , Fitriani Eka Surya
Published: October 2023

The teaching assistance program requires literacy learning activities carried out by students collaboratively with lecturers and teachers. The lack of students' ability to write procedural texts is due to a lack of familiarity with students' literacy activities that support their learning activities. This condition is seen from the students' lack of understanding in analyzing the general structure of the text, resulting in difficulties in creating procedural texts that are good and correct and can be utilized by readers. To overcome this problem, socialization was held which aimed to maximize writing procedural texts using Food Truck literacy media. This Community Service is located at Putra Anda Binjai Vocational School, where the Education Unit Teaching Assistance program is implemented. The methods used in this training are lectures, discussions and demonstrations. The results of the training show that food truck literacy learning can be used as an alternative in improving the ability to write procedural texts, this increases students' creativity in writing creative and useful procedural texts. During the activity, students played an active role in socializing fun learning literacy using Food Truck media "very well". Student activity was implemented by understanding online ordering, work procedures, and practicing making sweet martabak as a fun learning experience.

Authors: Ibraheem Ali Al , Holzinger Paul , Jahl Gerald
Published: October 2023

Young patients tend to prefer quick treatments and fixed restorations compared to older patients. Fixed reconstructions on implants now offer a variety of treatment options for various situations. However, despite the aesthetic and functional benefits, there are currently no clear clinical guidelines regarding the number of implants, loading type, and reconstruction type. Although various recommendations do exist, micro/macroscopic factors significantly influence treatment plans and surgical approaches in nearly every case. In this case report, we describe the rehabilitation of a triangular-shaped upper jaw of a 35-year-old non-edentulous patient using an implant-supported CAD/CAM designed prosthesis. Instead of using the All-on-4 method, five implants were inserted and immediately loaded after a series of extractions. The treatment plan involved placing three implants in the frontal region, with two tilted distally. The plan was designed not only to meet the patient's immediate demands but also to consider any possible future requests in the lower jaw. We also took into account the patient's current dentition and potential risk factors. As a result, we inserted a fifth security implant in the front region between the two front implants. The overall functional, aesthetic, and phonetic outcomes were satisfactory, and the patient expressed excellent satisfaction with the results.

Pancreatic cysts are usually asymptomatic over 70% of the time. They can be benign or malignant. Enhanced imaging modalities and increased usage of routine imaging have increased the identification of pancreatic cysts. If symptomatic, abdominal pain or back pain, unexplained weight loss, jaundice, steatorrhea or palpable mass are usually the presenting complaints. Pancreatic cysts are typically assessed by crosssectional computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this article, we present a case of a 55-year-old female with a large pancreatic pseudocyst, initially measured 27 cm x 23 cm, who was subsequently admitted to our unit and managed successfully. Exploratory laparotomy and pancreatic cystogastrostomy. It is rare to come across a pseudocyst of such large dimensions. Despite its large size, the patient presented with vague abdominal pain as the only chief complaint. The unusual presentation of symptoms and the enormous size of the pseudocyst make this a unique case. Managing giant pancreatic pseudocysts can be complex, as seen in this scenario by the multiple approaches attempted to treat the Pancreatic cysts.

The study sought to investigate the implications of female teenage marriages on human rights violation in Mt Darwin District of Mashonaland Central Province in Zimbabwe. An Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methodology design with a QUANT ‒ QUAL criterion was adopted for the study. Quantitative results were cross-examined with findings from qualitative data, which explored alternative explanations for violation of Married Female Teenagers (MFTs)’ human rights. Respondents were 192 MFTs who were randomly sampled from the target population while participants were 17 MFTs and five (5) Key Informants who were purposively sampled from the target population. Respondents provided the required information through a closed-ended questionnaire while participants and Key Informants were engaged in face-to-face interviews using semi-structured questionnaire. Data from Focus Group Discussions were obtained through unstructured questionnaire. Quantitative research data were analysed using the SPSS 21.0 while Content Thematic Analysis was employed to analyse qualitative data. The study revealed that teenage marriages violated MFTs’ rights to; pursue education, enjoy good health, engage in income generating projects, be protected from sexual and verbal abuse and make independent decisions while in marriage. Husbands hindered the right to education for MFTs. Right to engage in income generating projects was hindered by lack of capital and refusal by some husbands and in-laws. The rights to make independent decisions were thwarted by restrictions imposed by husbands on MFTs’ movement, choice, association and belonging. The Government and its development partners were recommended to reach out to male teenagers and men with sexuality and gender-based violence (GBV) programmes.

Published: October 2023

Breast cancer is the most common crucial cancer in women worldwide. The tumor marker Carcinoma Antigen 15-3 is frequently used for screening and monitoring breast cancer. Carcinoma antigen 15–3 (CA15-3) is used to monitor the prognosis for patients after treatment. This study aims to estimate the level of serum tumor marker CA15-3 in different age groups. Participants women diagnosed with breast cancer living in Iraq were admitted to the Middle East lab (private lab), Al-Harthia city. The study involves 176 females aged from 30 to 80 years. Data was collected from the period between March to November 2021. An automated electrochemistry luminescence immunoassay system (ROCHE E170, Germany) measured serum CA15-3 levels. When the CA15-3 marker level was above or below the cut-off value of 25 U/mL, the marker was counted positive or negative. The current study reveals that CA15-3 in the age group between (33-39) was the highest in 39 years (27.7 U/ml). Furthermore, 47 years exhibited the highest level of CA15-3 (150 U/ml) among (40-49 years) category. Meanwhile, 55 years participants showed the highest level of CA15-3 (101 U/ml) in (50-59 years) age group. 66 years old, on the other hand, showed an elevated level of CA15-3 (72 U/ml) compared to other participants in the (60-69) age group.
Children at the Lord’s Table: Revisiting the Covenantal and Eschatological Foundations for the Practice of Paedocommunion
Authors: Kurniawan Jemima Carissa
Published: October 2023

The inclusion of children in the church’s liturgy of the Lord’s Supper (paedocommunion) is still a matter of debate today. One of the main reasons for excluding them is that they are not considered capable of expressing their faith independently. However, from a biblical perspective, we see that the Lord’s Supper cannot be separated from covenant theology, which states that children are part of God's covenant, with or without a declaration of faith. If so, forbidding a child to participate in the Lord’s Supper would ultimately amount to considering children as mere potential Christians and not de facto members of God's covenant. Given the importance of the Lord’s Supper for believers, this paper aims to revisit what the Bible says about paedocommunion as a form of sacrament that can be applied by churches in general. The author argues that as part of the covenant and kingdom of God, children should be allowed to participate in the Lord’s Supper to remember Christ's redemption for them and prepare for Christ's second coming. To this end, the author begins by outlining the essential foundation of the practice of Holy Communion according to 1 Corinthians 11:23-29. Then, the author provides the Old Testament equivalent to establish the covenantal viewpoint and the New Testament equivalent to establish the eschatological viewpoint. Finally, the author gives a brief explanation of how children can participate in the table of God.
Implementation And Comparison of Different Stages of Current Starved CMOS Ring Oscillator – A Study
Authors: Sanjay S Tippannavar  , Halesh M R  , Pilimgole Sudarshan Yadav
Published: October 2023

The ring oscillators serves as the fundamental building blocks in both digital and analog circuit design, as its extensive use is found in various electrical systems, including phase-locked loops, frequency dividers, and clock generators. This study gives a general overview of the ring oscillator circuit, including its workings, uses, and important design considerations. The ring oscillator generates timing signals for synchronous operation and is often employed as a clock generator in digital systems. It may also be used as a frequency divider to separate higher frequencies into lower ones. A closed loop is used to connect an odd number of inverting stages to create the ring oscillator circuit. An inverter, which is often built using complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, is a component of every stage. By adding a delay to each step, the ring oscillator creates a self-sustaining oscillation. The development and comparison of 3, 5, and 7 stage ring oscillators for different performance metrics, as well as corner analysis for propagation delay and the effect of temperature on the operation of the ring oscillator was performed using Cadence Virtuoso with 90nm technology. This comparison of several phases of a current-starved (CS) ring oscillator offers an advantage to the best design with innovation based on the technology employed and outcomes from the corner analysis, which hasn't been done in any of the more recent researches.

Published: October 2023

A Retinopatia Diabética (RD) é uma complicação ocular debilitante do Diabetes Mellitus (DM) que requer uma abordagem abrangente de prevenção, diagnóstico e tratamento. Este artigo analisa as tendências atuais na pesquisa sobre a RD, com foco em fatores de risco, avanços no diagnóstico, estratégias terapêuticas e preventivas, além das implicações clínicas desses achados. Fatores de risco, como o controle glicêmico, hipertensão arterial, duração do DM e tabagismo, foram identificados como determinantes críticos na incidência e progressão da RD. O controle rigoroso desses fatores desempenha um papel fundamental na prevenção da condição. No campo do diagnóstico, tecnologias avançadas, como a tomografia de coerência óptica (OCT) e a inteligência artificial na análise de imagens retinianas, têm melhorado a precisão e eficiência do diagnóstico e monitoramento da RD. A telemedicina ocular tem mostrado promessa em ampliar o acesso ao cuidado oftalmológico, especialmente em áreas com recursos limitados. No tratamento da RD, a terapia com antiangiogênicos, como ranibizumabe e aflibercept, tem se destacado no tratamento do edema macular diabético (EMD). A fotocoagulação a laser, embora ainda relevante, enfrenta desafios em comparação com as terapias mais recentes. A prevenção continua sendo o alicerce na gestão da RD, com ênfase na educação do paciente, detecção precoce e controle de fatores de risco. À medida que a pesquisa sobre a RD avança, é essencial traduzir essas descobertas em práticas clínicas eficazes. A colaboração entre profissionais de saúde, pesquisadores e pacientes é fundamental para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos afetados por essa complicação ocular debilitante.

Published: October 2023

Постановка задачи. Настоящая статья посвящена исследованию электронного делового письма как институциональной формации. Анализ теоретической литературы, освещающей результаты исследований деловой интернет-коммуникации, показал недостаточную изученность вопроса несмотря на повсеместное использование сети Интернет для осуществления делового письменного общения. По этой причине представляется необходимым продемонстрировать институциональность электронной деловой переписки, тем самым сформировать отправную точку для дальнейших исследований виртуальной бизнес-коммуникации. Основываясь на принадлежности электронного делового письма к деловому дискурсу, анализируются структурные, стилистические и дискурсивно-прагматические особенности электронного делового письма на базе корпуса текстов служебной интернет-коммуникации, отобранных автором статьи из личной деловой корреспонденции с представителями итальянской бизнес-сферы. Результаты исследования. В результате исследования автор статьи приходит к выводу об институциональности деловой интернет-корреспонденции, выделяя такие ее качества, как регламентированность, клишированность, формализованность, стандартизация, лаконичность, аргументированность, точность, ясность, нейтральность тона. Выводы. Гипотеза об институциональной природе электронного делового письма доказывается посредством анализа традиционно анализируемых конститутивных признаков институционального дискурса, как участники, хронотоп, цели, ценности, стратегии, материал, разновидности и жанры, прецедентные тексты, дискурсивные формулы. В заключении определяются перспективные направления изучения электронного делового письма.
Evolution of BIM: epistemology, genesis and division into periods
Authors: Borkowski Andrzej Szymon
Published: October 2023

There is no consensus among BIM practitioners and theorists as to whether BIM is an evolution from CAD systems or a total revolution in construction. In the history of BIM, there have been a number of important, epoch-making events that have changed the direction of BIM. From the concept of BIM, to the technology used in construction, to the methodology, to the process, to the holistic idea of BIM, one can see the evolution of user approaches to its use. BIM has two dimensions: an information system and a philosophy. Thus, BIM is both a tool and a philosophy that brings about a revolution. Several decades of BIM development prompts reflection and the delineation of perhaps some stages of maturation. This paper presents a theory of cognition (epistemology), essential for understanding the history of BIM. The genesis of the separation of BIM from CAD makes it clear that specific factors influenced further developments. Thus, the aim of the study was to periodise BIM in view of various factors that may be relevant to researchers interested in BIM and companies using or implementing BIM. The literature survey maintained inclusivity to reflect both positive and critical aspects of BIM. The periodisation of the history of BIM was done due to 3 factors: idea, approach and organisational culture. The development of the BIM idea established the direction in which systems and software development was heading, the user approach forced interoperability and the organisational culture emphasised increasing efficiency. Working according to the openBIM approach or within an IPD framework is probably not the end of the anticipated level of BIM maturity. The division into periods will probably be the subject of much discussion, but will perhaps set the directions for the future.

It was recommended among others that Government should make some market specialize in some goods and services for instance those at the beach should be made for sales of sea foods.
