Authors: Suhadah Olivia , Mufit Fatni
Published: July 2023

High school students' understanding of circular motion material is still low. One solution to this problem is to design interactive multimedia based on the cognitive conflict in the theory of circular motion to enhance the conceptual understanding of high school students. This study aims to determine the characteristics and validity of interactive multimedia based on cognitive conflict. The research follows the development research approach using the Plomp model. This study is limited to the preliminary study phase and the development phase, up to the validity test through expert review. The learning instruments include journal analysis sheets, teacher questionnaires, self-evaluation sheets, and expert review sheets. Data were analyzed using the percentage technique and the V-Aiken formula. The introductory study identified several issues in teaching circular motion, such as low understanding levels, teacher-centered physics instruction, lack of experimental activities, and a lack of interactive multimedia teaching materials. During the development stage, multimedia was designed with the following characteristics: the use of Adobe Animate CC 2019 application to support interactivity through students' smartphones. The multimedia was also structured according to the four learning model syntax based on cognitive conflict (CCBL model). The results of the self-evaluation test met the criteria for a very good rating, while the expert review test indicated a valid category. It can be concluded that the cognitive conflict-based interactive multimedia on circular motion material is valid and can proceed to the practical and effective testing stage.
Pareto-optimal design of water distribution networks: an improved graph theory-based approach

Published: July 2023

One of the main drawbacks of using evolutionary algorithms for the multi-objective design of water distribution networks (WDNs) is their computational inefficiency, particularly for large-scale problems. Recently, graph theory-based approaches (GTAs) have gained attention as they can help with the optimal WDN design (i.e., determining optimal diameters). This study aims to extend a GTA to further improve the quality of design solutions. The GTA design is based on a customized metric called ‘demand edge betweenness centrality’, which spatially distributes nodal demands through the weighted edges of a WDN graph and provides an estimation of water flows. Assigned edge weights can be constant (i.e., static) or modified iteratively (i.e., dynamic) during the design process, leading to different flow estimations and alternative design options. Three hydraulic-inspired dynamic weights are developed in this study to better reproduce hydraulic behavior and, consequently, find better solutions. Additionally, this work proposes a framework for the optimal design of multi-source WDNs and provides guidelines for obtaining near-optimal solutions in such networks. A comparative study between GTAs and evolutionary optimizations confirms the efficiency of the improved GTA in providing optimal/near-optimal solutions, especially for large WDNs, with a runtime reduction of up to seven orders of magnitude.

Authors: Haq Ayaz Ul , Muhammad Said , Tokatli Cem
Published: July 2023

The Ghizer River Basin (GRB) is one of the sub-basins of the Indus River hosting rich mineralization and agrogenic activities. The GRB was sampled for 55 water samples and investigated for potentially harmful element (PHE) concentrations using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. PHE concentrations in water of the GRB were used to calculate the potential of non-cancer risks such as chronic daily intake (CDI), hazard quotient (HQ), and cancer risk (CR). The highest average concentrations of chromium (37.1 ± 17.1 μg/L), copper (27.4 ± 12.5 μg/L), arsenic (4.8 ± 0.9 μg/L), cobalt (9.2 ± 3.3 μg/L), and nickel (62.7 ± 27.6 μg/L) were noted for the Ishkomen River segment of the GRB. Similarly manganese (417 ± 144 μg/L), cadmium (1.95 ± 0.02 μg/L), lead (7.7 ± 1.4 μg/L), and zinc (28.4 ± 5.5 μg/L) concentrations were maximum at downstream of the GRB. Geospatial and statistical analyses showed that lithogenic sources contributed higher to PHE contamination in the water of the GRB than the agrogenic sources. PHE concentrations were noted under the World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water thresholds, except for nickel. Results showed the uppermost CDI value of 13.6 μg/kg-day for manganese and HQ value of 0.52 for arsenic via water intake of children. Non-cancer and CR values through water intake were under the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) thresholds and noted as suitable for drinking and other domestic purposes.

Authors: Kaur Kuldeep , Kaur Navneet
Published: July 2023

The study evaluates the performance of bias correction techniques by dividing the observed climate data period into calibration and validation sets. For this purpose, the daily data of temperature, rainfall, and solar radiation from 2010–2095 for lower Shivaliks of Punjab (Ballowal Saunkhri) were downloaded from Marksim weather generators using outputs of CSIRO-Mk3-6-0 climate model under four RCP scenarios (RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5, RCP 6.0, and RCP 8.5). The bias correction of model data (temperature, rainfall, and solar radiation) was done by developing correction functions (using a model and observed data from 2010 to 2015) from different bias correction methods (difference method, Leander and Buishand method, modified difference method, linear scaling, variance scaling, and quantile mapping). The corrected model data for the year 2016–2020 were validated against the observed data. The difference method was found to be best for bias correction due to low error and high efficiency. The corrected future model data (2021–2095) analysis on an annual and seasonal basis predicted a rise in maximum temperature and minimum temperature by 1.3–2.8 °C and 0.5–3.0 °C, respectively, under different scenarios. The study predicted more increase in rainfall and solar radiation under RCP 8.5 followed by RCP 6.0, RCP 4.5, and RCP 2.6 scenarios.

Published: July 2023

At present, the construction and management efficiency of water conservancy projects is low, hydrological prediction errors are common, and the utilization rate of water resources is low. Based on this, this paper applies data mining technology and intelligent information technology to water conservancy project management. This will help to better study the construction and management of hydraulic projects. By adopting data mining technology, valuable data in hydraulic engineering can be extracted and analyzed. Through careful analysis and evaluation of the data, we can predict the runoff of reservoir hydrology in Area A. The experimental results show that the data mining technology can be used to predict the runoff of Reservoir A from January to December 2020. In addition, using machine learning techniques to make predictions, the prediction error rate varies by 6.2%. The research shows that the use of data mining technology can improve the efficiency of water conservancy project construction and management, and improve the utilization rate of the project.
Alcohol consumption as health risk factor for the population in the RF regions in the ‘before crisis’ and ‘after crisis’ periods (2017–2022)

In this study, we have estimated alcohol consumption and alcohol-associated incidence in the RF regions in the ‘before crisis’ (2017–2019) and ‘crisis’ (2020–2022) periods. We identified types of the RF regions using hierarchical cluster analysis (Ward’s method) and relying on indirect indicators of alcohol consumption. As a result, we established considerable differences between the macro-regions (the Federal Districts) and RF regions as per alcohol consumption and severity of its outcomes. Poles in this differentiation are represented by ‘favorable’ regions in the Southern Russia where alcohol sales, alcohol-associated crime and incidence are low and ‘unfavorable’ regions located in the Far East and southern Siberia where alcohol-associated crime and incidence are high. We have shown in this study that retail alcohol sales cannot be considered a sufficient indicator to describe alcohol use in a given region. Thus, considerable volumes of alcohol sales involve severe socially significant outcomes in some regions (for example, the Khabarovsk region and Primorye) whereas such outcomes do not occur in other regions with similarly high alcohol sales (Moscow, Saint Petersburg, the Moscow region and the Leningrad region). The level of socioeconomic welfare on a given territory is confirmed as a significant determinant of alcohol consumption. We have also analyzed a correlation between economic vulnerability of RF regions during the ‘pandemic’ and ‘sanction’ crises and levels of alcohol consumption. The analysis revealed that large industrial regions, though expected to be vulnerable, turned out to be quite stable (it is probable due to delayed macroeconomic effects). We have not been able to identify any resources of improving a tense situation with alcohol consumption in economically unfavorable but less vulnerable subsidized agricultural regions. In general, the crisis period of 2020–2022 can be considered a source of additional health risks for the population in the RF regions where the situation with alcohol consumption was rather unfavorable in the ‘before crisis’ period.

The ongoing climate change makes its contribution to public health risks. These risks can be caused both due to direct impacts of the process and modifying influence exerted by climatic factors on chemical levels in ambient air. Given that, it is advisable to develop methodical approaches that give an opportunity to quantify public health risks under combined influence of climatic factors and chemical air pollution caused by them. In this study, we suggest methodical approaches eligible for calculating, assigning a category and assessing acceptability of public health risks under climatic exposures considering their influence on chemical air pollution. We outline approaches to establishing priority climatic factors, calculating exposure levels and associated responses; making up a list of chemicals levels of which are influenced by climatic factors and probable health outcomes caused by exposure to them; identifying levels of chemicals associated with climatic influence; calculating and assigning a category for public health risks associated with combined exposure to climatic and chemical factors using a multiple logistic regression model. We tested the approaches using data collected in Perm in 2020. As a result, we established an unacceptable health risk for working age population (1.11•10-4) due to cerebrovascular diseases (I60–I69). This risk was associated with combined exposure to climatic factors (heat waves) and associated chemical air pollution (high levels of carbon oxide). Risk levels for working age population and older age groups due to diseases of the circulatory system (ischaemic heart diseases (I20–I25) and other cardiac arrhythmias (I49)) were rated as permissible (acceptable), 7.68•10-5 and 4.07•10-5 accordingly. The contribution made by the analyzed climatic factor (heat waves) varied between 76.24 and 92.44 %; the analyzed chemical factor (carbon oxide), between 7.56 and 23.76 %.

Prevention of Postoperative Atrioventricular Block in a Case of Progressive
Infective Endocarditis with Reconstruction of the Interventricular Fibrous
Body: A Case Report
Authors: Kuroda Taro , Hayashi Ichiro , Kashima Ichiro , Yoshikawa Eiji , Iijima Natsumi
Published: July 2023

Background:

The risk of the post-operative severe atrioventricular block is high when infective endocarditis spreads to the conduction system. However, a clear surgical method to prevent post-operative severe atrioventricular block in infective endocarditis patients has not been developed.

Case presentation:

A 39-year-old man with a persistent fever was referred to our hospital. Echocardiography showed mitral valve infective endocarditis with severe aortic regurgitation due to a congenital bicuspid aortic valve. Before the surgery, a paroxysmal atrioventricular block appeared. Intraoperative inspection revealed an aortic-root abscess with ulcerated lesions below the commissure of the noncoronary-right coronary cusps and perforation of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. Considering the risk of atrioventricular block, the ulcerated lesions were only cleared with saline solution. After replacing the mitral valve with a mechanical mitral valve, the interventricular fibrous body and aortic annulus were reconstructed with a bovine pericardial patch. The mechanical aortic valve was sutured to the reconstructed aortic annulus. Two years after the surgery, severe atrioventricular block did not occur.

Conclusion:

Our method may be effective when the risk of post-operative severe atrioventricular block is high and the patient’s prognosis worsens.

Authors: Guo Wenting , Li Ning , Xu Jiali , Ma Jin , Li Sijie , Ren Changhong , Chen Jian , Duan Jiangang , Ma Qingfeng , Song Haiqing , Zhao Wenbo , Ji Xunming
Published: July 2023

Introduction:

Endovascular treatment (EVT) performed in the early time window has
been shown to decrease the incidence of malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (MMI). However,
the incidence of MMI in patients undergoing EVT during the late time window is unclear.
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of MMI in patients undergoing late EVT and compare
it with that in patients undergoing early EVT.

Methods:

We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients with anterior large vessel occlusion
stroke who underwent EVT at Xuanwu Hospital between January 2013 and June 2021. Eligible
patients were divided into early EVT (within 6 h) and late EVT (6-24 h) groups according to the
time from their stroke onset to puncture and compared. The occurrence of MMI post-EVT was the
primary outcome.

Results:

A total of 605 patients were recruited, of whom 300 (50.4%) underwent EVT within 6 h
and 305 (49.6%) underwent EVT within 6-24 h. A total of 119 patients (19.7%) developed MMI.
68 patients (22.7%) in the early EVT group and 51 patients (16.7 %) in the late EVT group developed
MMI (p = 0.066). After adjusting for covariate variables, late EVT was independently associated
with a lower incidence of MMI (odds ratio, 0.404; 95% confidence interval, 0.242-0.675; p =
0.001).

Conclusion:

MMI is not an uncommon phenomenon in the modern thrombectomy era. Compared
with the early time window, patients selected by stricter radiological criteria to undergo EVT in the
late time window are independently associated with a lower incidence of MMI.

Authors: Risdianto I Wayan , Ahmad Ahyar , Ermawar Riksfardini Annisa
Published: July 2023

In this research, electrodes were made from cellulose acetate (CA) synthesized from algae Gracilaria sp. and then composited with nickel oxide (NiO), the concentration of which varied from 0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 grams. Furthermore, FT-IR characterized cellulose acetate, and the CA-NiOn electrode was characterized by XRD, SEM, and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results showed that CA was successfully synthesized from Gracilaria sp. Increasing the concentration of NiO added to CA as an electrode could increase the specific capacity, energy density, and power density of the electrode with the highest degree of 83.27 F/g, energy density of 4 Wh/kg, and a power density of 0.4 W/kg at a concentration of 0.6 gram NiO. The effect of the addition of NiO on the characteristics of the CA-NiOn electrode was also studied such as crystallinity, crystal size, and porosity. The presentation of CA doped with NiO has the promising prospects as a supercapacitor base material.
Effect of multi-walled CNTs polyurethane mats lamination with basalt fabrics reinforced-epoxy composites reviewed on tension and bending properties
Authors: Sugiarti N. W. , Adi Atmika K. , Ary Subagia I. D. G.
Published: July 2023

Material technology continues to develop with various innovations and engineering to improve weaknesses in both mechanical and physical properties. In this study, electrospun fibres containing a multi-wall blend of CNT and Polyurethane (PU) with or without surfactant that laminated into a basalt fibre-reinforced composite were uniquely demonstrated. Multi-wall CNT 3wt% was added to the PU/MEK/DMF solution and produced using an electrospinning process. PU fibre mat containing 3wt% CNT was made without and with surfactants. Also, Basalt fibre reinforced epoxy composite as a control sample was produced. In addition, vacuum-assisted resin transfer printing has been used in the manufacture of composite panels containing both fibres. The aim of combining basalt fibre and PU CNT spun mats was to investigate their effect on the tensile and flexural mechanical properties. Tensile and flexural tests were carried out on a universal testing machine (UTM) in accordance to ASTM D 638 and ASTM D790 standards. FESEM and TEM on composite morphology test were done after testing. The results indicated that the basal matting fibre-reinforced epoxy composites stacked by PU mats with or without surfactants were affected by CNT inclusions. Nanofiber spun mats laminated in a basalt fibre composite lead to a considerable increase in both loads (i.e. tensile and flexural properties). The highest tensile and flexural load values occurred in the BF+PU-mat-2 sample with triton-x 100 surfactants compared to BFRP. The increase in tensile and flexural modulus values was at 13% and 17.3%, respectively. On the other hand, there was a decrease in shear failure due to tensile and bending loads due to the brittleness of the composite reinforcement. In conclusion, this CNF-mat lamination is highly suitable to be used to improve the strength properties of BFRP composites. It is highly recommended for automotive parts, marine compartments and storage insulation.

Preferences of University Students for a Psychological Intervention Designed to Improve Sleep: Focus Group Study
Authors: Tadros Michelle , Li Sophie , Upton Emily , Newby Jill , Werner-Seidler Aliza
Published: July 2023

Background

Many university students have difficulties with sleep; therefore, effective psychological treatments are needed. Most research on psychological treatments to improve sleep has been conducted with middle-aged and older adults, which means it is unclear whether existing psychological treatments are helpful for young adult university students.

Objective

This study aimed to discover university student preferences for a psychological intervention to improve sleep quality.

Methods

Focus groups were conducted over 3 stages to examine students’ views regarding content, format, and session duration for a psychological intervention to improve sleep. A thematic analysis was conducted to analyze participant responses.

Results

In total, 30 participants attended small focus group discussions. Three key themes were identified: (1) program development, (2) help-seeking, and (3) student sleep characteristics. Program development subthemes were program format, program content, and engagement facilitators. Help-seeking subthemes were when to seek help, where to access help, stigma, and barriers. Student sleep characteristics subthemes were factors disturbing sleep and consequences of poor sleep.

Conclusions

Students emphasized the need for a sleep intervention with an in-person and social component, individualized content, and ways to monitor their progress. Participants did not think there was a stigma associated with seeking help for sleep problems. Students identified the lack of routine in their lifestyle, academic workload, and the pressure of multiple demands as key contributors to sleep difficulties.

Authors: Odabashian Roupen , Bastin Donald , Manzoor Maria , Tangestaniapour Sina , Assad Malke , Lakhani Sunita , Jones Georden , Odabashian Maritsa , McGee Sharon
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Importance: ChatGPT is a state-of-the-art large language model that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to address questions across diverse topics. The American Society of Clinical Oncology Self-Evaluation (ASCO-SEP) program created a comprehensive educational program to help physicians keep up-to-date with the many rapid advances in the field. The question bank consists of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) addressing the many facets of cancer care, including diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care.

OBJECTIVE

As ChatGPT applications rapidly expand, we sought to investigate its performance in the field of medical oncology by using questions from ASCO-SEP.

METHODS

We conducted a systematic assessment of the performance of ChatGPT-3 on the American Society of Clinical Oncology Self-Evaluation Program (ASCO-SEP), the leading educational and assessment tool for medical oncologists in training and practice. Over 1000 multiple choice questions covering the spectrum of cancer care where extracted. Questions were categorized by cancer type/discipline, with sub-categorization as treatment, diagnosis or other. Answers were scored as correct if ChatGPT selected the answer as defined by ASCO-SEP.

RESULTS

Overall, ChatGPT achieved a score of 56% for correct answers provided (583/1040). The program demonstrated varying levels of accuracy across cancer types/disciplines. The highest accuracy was observed in questions related to developmental therapeutics (8/10; 80% correct), while the lowest accuracy was observed in questions related to gastrointestinal cancer (102/209; 49% correct). There was no significant difference in the program’s performance across the pre-defined sub-categories of diagnosis, treatment and other (p value = .16 > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Although below the required passing rate, ChatGPT’s performance on the ASCO-SEP showed promise for future applications in cancer care and medical education. Current limitations of the technology include training data that does not extend beyond 2021, and the inability to process or interpret data tables or images. However, as the technology continues to evolve, it is expected that these limitations will be overcome, allowing for improved capabilities.

Empathy in the Prevention of Cyber-aggression
Authors: Hollá Katarína , Sender Barbora , Kosovac Sanja
Published: July 2023

The development of life skills is an important factor in the prevention of cyber-aggression. The most important skill is the ability of empathize. Empathy leads to greater sensitivity to other people, altruism, care, tolerance, and acceptance of differences. This ability is thus rightly desirable in a pluralistic cyberspace, allowing people to function together and express opinions without mutual vilification, humiliation, or abuse. The generation of “screenagers” is significantly threatened by modern socio-pathological phenomena. Emotional laxity and failure of emotional life are to blame for all of this. The study presents the results of research on the verification of the effectiveness of preventive activities aimed at the empathetic experience of pupils in the natural and digital environment. The research sample consisted of 30 pupils aged 9 to 10 years. Half of the pupils (N=15) represented the experimental group and the other half (N=15) the control group. The ratio of girls and boys was approximately equal. The research results showed that the experimental group reported a significantly higher level of empathy than the control group after completing the preventive activities (p = 0.04 > ? = 0.05). The preventive program used in our research included self-experience activities, which, according to our expectations, increased the ability of empathy in the experimental group. At the same time, our findings confirm previous research verifying the mutual correlation between the level of empathy and experiences with cyber-aggression.

Technologische Souveränität zu fördern, bedeutet einseitige ökonomische Abhängigkeiten von politisch sensiblen Drittstaaten in Schlüsseltechnologien zu vermeiden. Anhand eines handels- und patentdatengestützten Schlüsseltechnologiemonitorings zeigt die EU Stärke bei Produktions-, Material- und Biotechnologien, aber Defizite bei digitalen Technologien.

Published: July 2023

In this paper, we consider a spatially distributed equation with a periodic boundary condition and the zero integral mean condition in the spatial variable. The boundary-value problem under consideration has a family of solutions that are piecewise constant with respect to the spatial variable and have one discontinuity point. Conditions for the stability of such solutions are determined. The existence of piecewise constant solutions with more than one discontinuity point is shown. An algorithm for calculating solutions to a boundary-value problem by numerical methods is presented. A numerical analysis of the dynamics of the boundary-value problem is performed.

Of the several rulers in Aceh, the main base in opposing the Dutch were the ulama because the ulama played a very large role in the lives of the Acehnese people. Snouck is a prominent Western scientist and also a very influential actor in breaking the power of the ulama during the Dutch colonial period in Aceh. The results of the study show that Snouck’s points of view on the Acehnese clerics are the ulama as an obstacle to the submission of Aceh's sovereignty to the Dutch, the ulama as a spiritual driving force in defending Aceh and its people and the Acehnese clerics are not easy to be deceived even though they prioritize Islam alone. The roles played by Snouck in quelling the struggle of the Acehnese people, namely approaching the ulama to invite peace with the Dutch, the uleebalang approach to cooperate in the fields of Dutch government, education, economics and religion. Placing trading centers in Ulhee Lheue and Kutaraja so that the Acehnese people can carry out their trade more easily. Based on the pacification policy of the Dutch government and supported by Snouck’s ideas, advised the Governor of the Dutch military that there should be no more violence against the Acehnese people. This shows good intentions by building mosques, repairing roads, irrigation, and helping with social work in the lives of the Acehnese.

The approach in it is a descriptive and analytical approach, namely describing the novel and analyzing it with the inclusion of Sigmund Freud's literary psychology. The results obtained by the author are id quotes one, ego quotes four, and superego quotes one and that is the actual psychological reality, because the id is the inner world or human subjectivity, and there is no direct contact with the objective world. And the inner aspect contains things that are born from birth. Ego is the aspect of personality that is responsible for dealing with reality. As for id, it is a single quote because it is the inner world or human subjectivity, and has no direct relationship with the purpose of the world. The inner aspect contains biological elements of instinct and is also a "warehouse" of psychic energy that drives the ego and superego. And the ego is an empathetic quote to see that Umm Saad's ego position can overcome the nature of her identity. Superego quote one is actually very worried and wants to bring the kids home but he realizes that the kids are fighting for their country
