Neuroscience-Based Character Education Management at Raudhatul Athfal Bait Qur'ani: The Quantum Personality Method
Authors: Pambayun Ellys Lestari , Faraj Muhammad Al-Husaini , Hikmah Nurul , Muhasyim Muhasyim
Published: February 2023

Character education management based on the personality quantum approach with the Quran in early life is one of the most important predictors of human character formation. The goal of raising well-rounded, intelligent children will never be achieved without strict and practical guidance. This study used a qualitative case study method through field observations and in-depth interviews with leaders, teachers, and parents of students, with field analysis techniques to understand the strategy and management of early childhood character education with the quantum personality method. The result showed that neuroscience-based character education was structured through the curriculum, the preparation of educators, and the availability of adequate infrastructure, which was focused on the formation of cognition and morality of early childhood students. The quantum personality method through management following the Quran could shape students to think more logically and behave positively. The study concludes that the management of early childhood character education with the quantum personality method at Raudhatul Athfal Bait Qur'ani based on neuroscience turns out to have convergence in the learning process in aqliyah (logical thinking) and nafsiyah. This research contributes to a growing body of literature on the potential of neuroscience in the context of character education for young people. Furthermore, it is hoped that it will eventually be recognized as its field of study inside science rather than being dismissed as pseudoscience.
Managing Tahsin and Tahfiz Learning in Public Schools
Authors: Santosa Achadi Budi
Published: February 2023

The existence of reading the Quran learning in school is one of the Muslim student's parent's wishes. However, the existing phenomenon shows that many schools cannot allocate sufficient time for this learning. This study seeks to reveal the management of learning tahsin and tahfizul Quran in public schools. This study used a qualitative method, in-depth interview techniques, field observations, and document reviews. Participants consisted of school principals, deputy principals, ustaz, tahfiz, and tahsin program coordinators, and 11 students. Results of the study showed that the management of tahsin and tahfiz learning was carried out by optimizing management functions that were supported by the leadership of competent principals and ustaz so that most Muslim students are finally able to read the Quran well. Some of them are even able to memorize the thirtieth juz. The results of this study indicate the importance of consistent management in tahsin learning, the lack of seriousness in management results in low learning effectiveness.

This study examines the impact of loneliness-related online learning on students during emergency remote teaching. Specifically, this study aims to: (1) evaluate the consistency between times of loneliness, burnout, and social self-efficacy, (2) examine the differences in the three measurements based on gender, and (3) examine the detrimental effects of loneliness on burnout and social self-efficacy of students at two Islamic state universities. Using a short-term longitudinal study design involving 237 students from two state Islamic universities. Data were analyzed using descriptive, comparative, correlation, and regression to test the proposed model. The results showed that loneliness and burnout at one point in time could consistently predict loneliness and burnout in the future. The comparative test results found differences in loneliness, burnout, and social self-efficacy based on gender, giving mixed results: significant differences were only found in loneliness (T2) and burnout (T2). Finally, there was no significant difference in social self-efficacy between male and female students at the two-time points.

Published: February 2023

This study seeks to investigate the strategies used by college teachers and administrators in enhancing the digital literacy skills of EFL students. A qualitative study is the research design in this paper. The researchers chose a purposive sampling technique for administering the research sample. There were six EFL lecturers and six higher education admins at STKIP PGRI Bandar Lampung as the research sample. This present research employed semi-structured interviews for collecting the data. This current study analyzed the data qualitatively and described it thematically. The findings illustrated that the lecturer used four strategies for promoting learners' digital literacy; motivate learners, conduct training workshops, employ digital technology in the classroom, and improve the digital classroom environment. Moreover, higher education admins used four strategies; raise guardians' awareness towards the role of digital technology, conduct training for lecturers and learners, redesign the EFL classroom and enhance classroom infrastructure. This finding implies that policymakers can use this research to plan and make a new system for EFL education.

Published: February 2023

The aim of this study was to evaluate the perceptions of Municipal Oral Health Coordinators (MOHCs) of endodontic services in Dental Specialty Centers (DSCs) of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A questionnaire was sent to the MOHCs of municipalities that had DSCs. Endodontic productivity data were collected from the Health System database. Descriptive analysis and Spearman’s correlation were performed (p≤0.05). Most cities had one DSC operating (92.4%) with two endodontists (30.3%). Endodontic treatments (ETs) were performed exclusively in a DSC (87.9%). There were referral protocols for primary to secondary care in endodontics in 87.9%. Most of the DSCs had a target (84.8%); 60.6% followed the targets recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health (MofH), but 53.0% complied with the goal in less than 25% of the months. Technological auxiliary resources for endodontics were not present in 42.0% of the DSCs. Positive correlation was found between the number of dentists who performed ETs in DSCs with fulfillment of monthly targets (p=0.029), and a negative correlation between the availability of technological resources for the fulfillment of monthly targets (p=0.012). Some MOHCs were unaware of the principles of the MofH, suggesting that management measures and targets should be reevaluated.

Este estudo investigou a relação entre estimulação cognitiva e exercício físico sobre a qualidade do sono, estado de humor e funções cognitivas de idosos saudáveis. Sessenta idosos de ambos os gêneros foram distribuídos em três grupos: Grupo Controle – GC (n=20); Grupo Estimulação Cognitiva – GEC (n=20) e Grupo Exercício Físico – GEF (n=20). A Escala de Sonolência de Epworth (ESS); Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh (PSQI-BR); Teste de Fluência Verbal (FAS); Digit Span e Escala de Humor Brunel (Brums) foram utilizados como instrumentos de avaliação. Os dados foram descritos em média ± desvio padrão e a comparação das variáveis por meio da ANOVA de medidas repetidas, seguida pelo Post Hoc de Tukey utilizando SPSS versão 12, considerando p £ 0,05. O GEC evidenciou menor fadiga e maior vigor quando comparado ao GEF e GC (p £ 0,05). Na avaliação da função executiva, os escores de acertos do GEC foram significativamente maiores do que o grupo GEF e GC (p= £ 0,05), tendo GC resultados inferiores ao GEF. Na avaliação da memória, o GEC mostrou maiores escores na ordem direta (p £ 0,05), ordem inversa (p £ 0,05) e soma das ordens (p £ 0,05) comparado ao GEF e GC. Houve menor latência para iniciar o sono entre os participantes do GEC comparado ao GEF e GC (p £ 0,05). Tanto a prática de estimulação cognitiva quanto a prática regular do exercício físico podem ser utilizadas como uma estratégia não farmacológica no auxílio da melhora do humor, cognição e sono para o processo de envelhecimento saudável.

Introdução: A alimentação onívora é de suma importância para o desenvolvimento das crianças, principalmente até os nove anos de idade, visto que, é por meio de suplementações presentes em artigos animais, majoritariamente, que desenvolvem capacidades cognitivas, motoras, sensitivas e linguísticas do infante. Assim, uma dieta restritiva pode vir a comprometer o natural desenvolvimento da criança, devido a carência calórica-proteica, sinalizada por meio de fadigas, falta de concentração, falhas na memória, alucinações, icterícias e redução nas capacidades cognitivas, deficiências. Objetivo: Rever a bibliografia atual, a mais relevante e disponível em formato online, sobre os riscos hipotéticos e empíricos, bem como recomendações das dietas vegetarianas em idade gestacional e pediátrica. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva do tipo revisão integrativa da literatura. Resultados: Crianças que mantém uma dieta restrita ao veganismo, têm maiores riscos de défices fisiológicos. Sob essa perspectiva, deve haver um equilíbrio do aporte de nutrientes, tendo em conta o estado de desenvolvimento da criança, para assegurar um harmonioso crescimento e desenvolvimento. Conclusão: Diante da escolha de inserir uma criança, mesmo nos primeiros anos de vida, numa dieta vegetariana ou vegana, o trabalho do pediatra é respeitar e aconselhar a família, alertando sobre seus riscos. Para isso, a consulta periódica ao pediatra e nutricionista é eminentemente necessária.

No setor de alimentos, a análise sensorial possui grande importância para avaliação da aceitabilidade pelos consumidores e ainda avaliará a qualidade de um produto a serem testados. Este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar análise sensorial dos produtos em conserva de diferentes tamanhos de tilápia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) para o estímulo ao consumo de pescados enlatados. Foram aplicados testes de perfil de atributos, avaliando a aparência, cor, aroma, sabor e textura, foi solicitado ao julgador que após degustar as amostras avaliasse os atributos especificados na ficha, utilizando uma escala verbal e numérica de 9 pontos. Para avaliar o efeito do tamanho sobre as características sensoriais utilizou-se o teste de Friedman. Considerando o nível de significância de 5%. Em caso de efeito estatístico significativo, procedeu-se o teste de Conover. Foram computados também os coeficientes de correlação de Spearman para essas variáveis. As características sensoriais apresentaram correção forte positiva entre cor/aparência, sabor/intenção de compra, avaliação global/intenção de compra, avaliação global/sabor e avaliação global/consistência. A aparência dos produtos está correlacionada com sua coloração indicando que ao provarem a tilápia em conserva nos diferentes tamanhos observou-se aceitação, pois o produto apresentava boas características nessas duas variáveis. Conclui-se que as tilápias pequenas, ou seja, fora do tamanho comercial que foram enlatas, mostraram-se eficazes na produção de conservas para comercialização, o que pode impactar na produção aquícola.

O fígado é um órgão indispensável para a manutenção da homeostase do nosso corpo, sendo responsável por funções importantes como a eliminação de toxinas. Apresenta uma capacidade considerável de regeneração, porém, quando essas agressões não cessam, a regeneração ocorre de forma incorreta, surgindo cicatrizes e nódulos. Diante da importância epidemiológica do EH, este artigo visa discutir os mecanismos fisiopatológicos da doença. Este estudo trata-se de uma revisão narrativa com o propósito de discutir e descrever sobre a EH e sua fisiopatologia, como também, demonstrar como esta síndrome afeta a vida pessoal dos indivíduos acometidos. Foi utilizado o banco de dados: SciElo (Scientific Eletronic Library Online) e PubMed (US National Library of Medicine), com dados científicos de 2 de janeiro de 2023, sem restrição de idioma e sem restrição ao ano de publicação. Vários estudos mostram que o maior sistema neuroinibitório, GABA, está aumentado na EH. Ademais, uma importante consideração pela amônia diante da síndrome deve ser exposta; os receptores que ficam localizados na periferia da mitocôndria, pela presença da amônia, assim como de ligandinas, provocando a ativação da produção de neuroesteroides nos astrócitos. De qualquer maneira, todas as pesquisas afirmaram que quanto mais tardiamente é feito o diagnóstico, mais grave serão as consequências sistêmicas da patologia. Além disso, é de fundamental importância que os centros médicos responsáveis por oferecer o apoio hospitalar aos pacientes acometidos pela EH estejam preparados.

This study aimed to evaluate the positive rates for Enterobius vermicularis eggs among preschool children in Yeosu-si, Jeollanam-do, the Republic of Korea (Korea) over a period of 5 years (2017-2021). Perianal swab samples, obtained using cellotape, from 10,392 preschool children in 26 districts were examined microscopically for E. vermicularis eggs. The test results were notified through the local health center, and the families of children who tested positive were advised to provide them anthelmintics treatment. The annual positive rates were 5.0%, 5.2%, 4.4%, 2.2%, and 1.0% in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively. The overall positive rate was higher in boys than in girls (P< 0.05), and children aged 5-7 years were at a higher risk of being infected than those aged 0-4 years (P< 0.05). Although the rates of infection by E. vermicularis in the survey area, Yeosu-si, were still in the 1% range , the results of this study suggest that they can be significantly reduced through continuous intervention centered around the test–treatment strategy.

Parasite infection rates estimated by examining ancient coprolites can provide insights into parasitism in Joseon society. Using newly discovered Joseon period cases is essential to regularly update the parasite infection rates and reinforce the reliability of our previous estimations. In the present study, we investigated parasite infections in Joseon coprolites newly isolated from the cities of Euijeongbu, Gumi, and Wonju. We then updated the overall parasite infection rates of Joseon period samples (n= 30) as follows: 86.7% (26/30) for Trichuris trichiura, 56.7% (17/30) for Ascaris lumbricoides, 30.0% (9/30) for Clonorchis sinensis, and 30.0% (9/30) for Paragonimus westermani. The parasite infection rates in the Joseon society, estimated through coprolite examination, were very similar to those determined previously despite the addition of new cases to the existing data pool.

Cockroaches can cause allergic sensitization in humans via contact with their feces or frass. Antibiotics can affect concentration of major allergen and total bacteria production in German cockroaches (Blattella germanica). This study examined the ability of antibiotic-treated German cockroaches to induce allergic airway inflammation and the effect of antibiotics on their lipopolysaccharide and Bla g1, 2, and 5 expression levels. Specifically, we measured the ability of German cockroach extract (with or without prior antibiotic exposure) to induce allergic inflammation in human bronchial epithelial cells and a mouse model of asthma. Bacterial 16S rRNA and lipopolysaccharide levels were lower in ampicillin-treated cockroaches than in the control group. The Bla g1, Bla g2, and Bla g5 expression in ampicillin-treated cockroaches decreased at both the protein and RNA levels. In human bronchial epithelial cell lines BEAS-2B exposed to the ampicillin-treated extract, expression levels of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 were lower than that in the control group. The total cell count and eosinophil count in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was also lower in mice exposed to the ampicillin-treated extract than in those exposed to normal cockroach extract. Mouse lung histopathology showed reduced immune cell infiltration and mucus production in the ampicillin group. Our results showed that ampicillin treatment reduced the symbiont bacterial population and major allergen levels in German cockroaches, leading to reduced airway inflammation in mice. These results can facilitate the preparation of protein extracts for immunotherapy or diagnostics applications.
Inflammatory response to Trichomonas vaginalis in the pathogenesis of prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia
Authors: Han Ik-Hwan , Kim Jung-Hyun , Ryu Jae-Sook
Published: February 2023

Trichomonas vaginalis is a flagellated protozoan that causes trichomoniasis, a common nonviral sexually transmitted infection. T. vaginalis infection is asymptomatic in most infected men but can lead to chronic infection. The inflammatory response to chronic T. vaginalis infection may contribute to prostatic diseases, such as prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH); however, studies on the relationship between T. vaginalis infection and prostate diseases are scarce. In this review, we discuss evidence from our studies on the involvement of T. vaginalis in the pathogenesis of prostate diseases, such as prostatitis and BPH. Studies of prostatitis have demonstrated that the attachment of T. vaginalis trophozoite to prostate epithelial cells (PECs) induces inflammatory cytokine production and inflammatory cell migration, leading to prostatitis. T. vaginalis also causes pathological changes, such as inflammatory cell infiltration, acinar changes, interstitial fibrosis, and mast cell infiltration, in prostate tissues of infected rats. Thus, T. vaginalis is considered an infectious agent that triggers prostatitis. Meanwhile, studies of prostatic hyperplasia revealed that mast cells activated by T. vaginalis-infected prostate cells secreted inflammatory mediators, such as β-hexosaminidase and tryptase, which promoted proliferation of prostate stromal cell (PSC). Moreover, interleukin-6 produced by proliferating PSCs induced the multiplication of BPH-1 epithelial cells as a result of stromal–epithelial interaction, suggesting that the proliferation of T. vaginalis-infected prostate cells can be induced through crosstalk with mast cells. These collective findings suggest that T. vaginalis contributes to the progression of prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia by creating an inflammatory microenvironment involving PECs and PSCs.

Authors: AHMETAJ Donjeta , AKSOY Nilay , BERK Barkin
Published: February 2023

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate orthopedic patients' knowledge of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance.
Material and Method: Patients admitted to the hospital for orthopedic surgery were given a questionnaire containing a total of 26 questions, 7 multiple choices, nine true and false questions and ten likert scale questions adapted from a survey which has been published by World Health Organization and translated to Albanian to assess their knowledge and attitude toward antibiotics and antibiotic resistance.
Result and Discussion: Sixty-two percent of the patients misunderstood the definition of antibiotic resistance and answered yes to the question "Antibiotic resistance occurs when your body becomes resistant to antibiotics and the antibiotic is no longer effective." 62.4% of the patient strongly agreed that ‘antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest problems facing the world”. Although participants are aware of antibiotic resistance and the potential threats it may pose, their knowledge of the causes of antibiotic resistance and how to prevent it is limited. In conclusion, attempts need to be made to raise antibiotic resistance awareness and knowledge among the Kosovo population.
Unforgettable Catastrophic Memories of COVID-19: A Hollow Search for an International Mechanism to Hold China Accountable
Authors: Begum* Afroza
Published: February 2023

The unprecedented cost of COVID-19 (COVID) globally raised significant controversies over China’s handling of the pandemic and whether it should bear international legal responsibility for compensating countries harmed by the outbreak. Many commentators developed persuasive arguments for holding China accountable under international law through the International Court of Justice. The scale and dreadful consequences of COVID also prompted arguments for the application of various international agreements including ICESCR and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court to establish China’s international liability for the pandemic. This article aims to investigate whether the current international framework provides any meaningful mechanisms to hold China accountable for COVID by placing a special focus on agreements relevant to public health emergencies of international concerns. It concludes that while China’s reckless conduct and passivity effectively constitute a breach of international obligations, it is very unlikely that a successful claim can be pursued under the international framework.
Individual variation in the upper primary school classroom-analyses of written production in EFL by ten young learners in the Baltic States, Russia, and Sweden
Authors: Sundh Stellan
Published: February 2023

In language learning classrooms there is great variation in language proficiency which is a challenge for the language teacher. Several factors can explain these individual differences such as the learners’ cognitive skills and the amount of exposure (Muñoz 2008), the learner’s personality (Ortega 2009: 193-196), and the factor “openness to experience” (Verhoeven and Vermeer 2002). These individual differences are possible to identify and describe by linguistic analyses of the vocabulary and the structural complexity in the texts. In the present study, ten 12-year-olds’ written production is described. The production by two young learners who produced a long and a short text respectively and from five different regions in the Baltic Region was investigated. The results show that production by the writers of long texts and the writers of short texts show great similarities no matter the educational, language, or cultural background of the young learner.

Published: February 2023

Pengenalan wajah merupakan suatu teknologi dari komputer untuk mengidentifikasi wajah seseorang pada suatu gambar maupun video. Banyak metode yang bisa digunakan untuk pengenalan wajah antara lain metode fisherface, local binary pattern histogram, dan eigenface. Peneliti sebelumnya menerapkan pengenalan wajah menggunakan metode eigenface untuk mengidentifikasi wajah mahasiswa di Universitas Nurul Jadid. Akan tetapi, metode eigenface hanya fokus pada citra dengan objek tidak bergerak, sehingga belum bisa diterapkan pada video. Untuk itu, pada penelitian ini diusulkan suatu metode yang dapat mengidentifikasi wajah pada video yaitu metode haar cascade dan deep learning. Metode haar cascade merupakan suatu metode yang dapat mendeteksi  posisi letak wajah pada suatu video dan metode deep learning untuk mengenali wajah yang sudah terdeteksi pada video. Hasil uji coba yang dilakukan metode haar cascade dapat mendeteksi adanya wajah pada video secara baik. Akan tetapi metode haar cascade juga mendeteksi yang bukan wajah pada data testing. Hasil dari uji coba pada gambar dengan metode haar cascade dan deep learning teridentifikasi secara benar dengan tingkat akurasi 99,6%. Hasil uji coba metode haar cascade dan deep learning pada video mahasiswa berhasil dilakukan jika komposisi warna dan tingkat cahayanya sama dengan data training dan jika tidak sesuai dengan data training maka tidak berhasil mengidentifikasi wajah mahasiswa pada video secara benar.

Proses ujian dilakukan dengan membagikan soal yang telah di cetak pada selembaran kertas, kemudian menjawab dengan bersama dalam waktu 1 jam. Dengan sistem ujian yang seperti ini sering kali mempunyai kendala, seperti kebiasaan mencontek, lambatnya proses pembuatan soal, kesalahan dalam menilai hasil ujian, lambatnya pembuatan laporan hasil ujian. Pemborosan biaya kertas dan tinta dalam pembuatan soal dan penggandaan soal juga salah satu masalah. Solusi untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut adalah dengan merancang sebuah sistem yang sudah terkomputerisasi yaitu perancangan sistem ujian online berbasis web. Tujuan Penelitian ini mempermudah guru untuk membuat soal, menghemat biaya dan waktu dalam proses penilaian dan membuat laporan dengan mudah. Serta menghemat biaya daam pembuatan soal dan penggandaan soal ujian. Dari hasil penelitian yang dicapai berupa sistem aplikasi berbasis web menggunakan bahasa pemrograman PHP dan MySQL. yang membantu mempermudah mendapatkan data, karena di MAN 1 Probolinggo dalam ujian masih input data manual terhadap siswanya. Sehingga siswa masih harus menghubungi guru untuk mengetahui proses nilai ujian sudah atau belum selesai. Dan juga sistem penilaiannya yang belum teratur. Sehingga nilai yang masuk tidak diketahui secara menyeluruh atau terkontrol.
