A fibrose cística (FC) é uma doença genética hereditária autossômica recessiva que afeta principalmente os sistemas respiratório e digestivo, sendo causada por mutações no gene CFTR. A patogênese da doença é complexa e envolve a disfunção das glândulas exócrinas, resultando em secreções espessas e viscosas que obstruem os ductos em diversos órgãos. Os sintomas variam de leves a graves, incluindo infecções pulmonares crônicas, insuficiência pancreática, e infertilidade masculina. O diagnóstico precoce e a intervenção terapêutica são cruciais para a melhoria da qualidade de vida e aumento da expectativa de vida dos pacientes. Nos últimos anos, avanços no tratamento, como a introdução de moduladores de CFTR, têm revolucionado a abordagem da doença, proporcionando esperança para muitos pacientes. No entanto, ainda há desafios significativos no manejo da FC, incluindo a acessibilidade aos tratamentos e a gestão das complicações a longo prazo. Este artigo revisa a literatura atual sobre a patogênese, diagnóstico, tratamento e perspectivas futuras para a fibrose cística.

Dampak Teknologi Digital Terhadap Evolusi Desain Arsitektur
Authors: Poltak Hendrik , Peter Ardianto
Published: August 2024

The development of digital technology has significantly influenced the advancement of science and various other aspects. The realm of architectural design, both in the professional and educational fields, is not exempt from the influence of digital technology. Despite the fact that some architects still utilize traditional methods, digital technology has shifted traditional methods in architectural design. This writing aims to examine the role of digital technology in the world of architectural design. The method employed in this writing involves a literature review of several related studies. From the conducted review, it can be concluded that digital technology has made the architectural design process more efficient and straightforward. Additionally, with digital technology, architects can explore geometrical forms with high complexity. This is possible because computers nowadays are not merely used as tools to produce drawings or expedite the design process (computerization), but they actively play a role and are integrated into the architectural design process (computation).

Trajectory Data Driven Driving Style Recognition for Autonomous Vehicles Using Unsupervised Clustering
Authors: Abhishek Dixit
Published: August 2024

Introduction: This research focuses on enhancing the understanding and classification of vehicle driving styles by analyzing extensive trajectory data. Recognizing and categorizing different driving behaviours is crucial, particularly for the development of autonomous vehicles, which must predict and respond to the diverse actions of human drivers. Understanding these driving styles is essential for improving road safety and ensuring that autonomous systems can navigate mixed traffic environments effectively.
Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to classify vehicle driving styles into distinct categories like aggressive, moderate, and traditional by leveraging unsupervised learning techniques. This classification aims to improve the predictive capabilities of autonomous vehicles and enhance overall road safety by providing a more nuanced understanding of driving behaviours.
Methods: The study begins by applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to simplify complex trajectory data, reducing multiple characteristic indexes into two principal components that encapsulate the most significant features related to driving behaviour. To determine the optimal number of driving style categories, the "Elbow rule" and Silhouette analysis are employed, followed by the application of the K-means clustering algorithm. This approach allows for the effective grouping of driving styles based on the processed data.
Results: The analysis identified three distinct driving styles: aggressive, moderate, and traditional. Aggressive driving is characterized by higher velocities, greater acceleration, and increased jerk, along with shorter space and time headways. Traditional driving styles exhibit more conservative behaviours, with lower speeds, reduced acceleration, and greater following distances. Moderate driving styles lie between these two extremes, reflecting a balanced approach in terms of speed, acceleration, and headway distances.
Conclusions: The findings of this study have significant implications for the development and operation of autonomous vehicles. By accurately classifying driving styles, autonomous systems can better anticipate and react to the behavior of surrounding vehicles, thereby enhancing safety in mixed traffic environments. The research also demonstrates the potential for extending the proposed unsupervised learning approach to other driving scenarios and datasets, offering a scalable solution for ongoing advancements in intelligent transportation systems.

Trabalhador coletivo no Livro I de O capital
Authors: Lessa Sergio
Published: August 2024

No Livro I de O capital, a existência do proletariado, uma classe distinta dos demais assalariados pelo lugar específico que ocupa na estrutura produtiva (transformar a natureza nos meios de produção e de subsistência), muitas vezes é questionada com base no assim chamado “trabalhador coletivo”. Marx, com o “trabalhador coletivo”, dizem, teria fundido, em uma mesma classe (os “trabalhadores”) todos os que são forçados a vender sua força de trabalho. Portanto, todos os assalariados fariam parte de uma mesma e única classe. O artigo argumenta que esta concepção de trabalhador coletivo não existe no texto do Livro I e que é o resultado das necessidades políticas e ideológicas tanto do stalinismo quanto da socialdemocracia.
The Protection and Suport System and thus Improvement Plan for Victims by Prosecution Service
Authors:   Institute of Legal Myungji Uiversity, Lee Mi Na , Kang Dong Wook
Published: August 2024

The protection of human rights and rights of victims began with the UN Declaration of the Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Rights in 1985. In Korea, through the enactment and enforcement of the Crime Victim Protection Act, the legal basis for the protection and support system for victims has been established and operated, while Korean government prepared support such as personal protection and loss recovery. These establishment and development of the legal basis reflect the victim's desire to return to the life when it was peaceful, through the restotative justice for the victim. Accordingly, the importance of protecting victims of crime, in the prosecution office is increasing day by day. The prosecution is trying to protect victims of crime, but there are some emerging problems. The purpose of this paper is to review the current status of the prosecution's personal protection measures, restoration of losses, criminal mediation corresponding to the restorative judicial law, and application for compensation orders, and what are the problems at the legal and institutional level, and what would be the improvement measures for this problems. As a way to improve it, he insisted on strengthening the prosecution's personal protection system, expanding the victim's protection facility (safety house) system, supplementing the economic aid (rescue plan) enforcement system, and making the victims' restorative justice effective.

К предвычислению годового стока Печоры на основе данных стационарных метеорологических станций
Authors: Гордеева С.М. , Малинин В.Н. , Кравцова К.В.
Published: August 2024

Рассматриваются возможности построения физико-статистических моделей долгосрочного прогноза годового стока р. Печоры по данным об осадках и температуре воздуха на трех метеорологических станциях (Нарьян-Мар, Усть-Цильма и Печора) за период 1950–2015 гг. Показано, что с 1980 г. в стоке Печоры отмечается хорошо выраженный положительный тренд равный 17,1 м3/с за год. Его причиной является значительный рост температуры воздуха, вследствие чего происходит интенсивное сокращение вечной мерзлоты и значительное увеличение мощности сезонно-талого слоя, который вовлекается в сток реки. Построение прогностических моделей стока Печоры осуществлялось с помощью многомерных методов статистики: множественной линейной регрессии (МЛР) и деревьев решений (ДР, decision trees). Получено простое двухпараметрическое уравнение МЛР со стандартной ошибкой (относительно среднеквадратического отклонения) по зависимой и независимой выборкам равной 0,85 и 0,47 соответственно. Теоретическая заблаговременность этого прогноза – 9 месяцев. Для метода ДР оптимальное дерево состоит из трех ветвлений. Относительные стандартные ошибки расчета годового стока составляют 0,67 по зависимой выборке и 0,72 – по независимой. Это соответствует практическим требованиям к долгосрочному прогнозу. В принципе, оба метода дают близкие результаты, но МЛР проще для практического использования.
Древнее антропогенное воздействие на ландшафты в свете палинологических данных: результаты исследования озера Камышовое (Виштынецкая возвышенность, Юго-Восточная Прибалтика)
Authors: Дружинина О.А.
Published: August 2024

Статья посвящена обзору раннего антропогенного воздействия на ландшафты Юго-Восточной Прибалтики и основана на результатах палеолимнологических исследований, проведенных на Виштынецкой возвышенности, Калининградская область, Российская Федерация. Детальное изучение имеющихся палинологических и данных о содержании микроугольков в осадках позволяет судить о влиянии человека на окружающую среду в различные исторические периоды. Результаты исследований показали, что первые признаки антропогенного воздействия на ландшафты – наличие локальных обезлесенных пространств – относятся к мезолиту. Пыльца растений-индикаторов открытых местообитаний и пастбищ, а также Pteridium и Corylus могут свидетельствовать о целенаправленном выжигании лесов, связанном с повышением мобильности, охотой и культивированием съедобных растений. Сопоставление данных по микроуглям и пыльце выявило интенсификацию человеческой деятельности с неолита – периода, когда зафиксировано культивирование злаков на Виштынецкой возвышенности.
D-SELF гармония и «золотое сечение»
Authors: Иванов-Ростовцев А.Г. , Колотило Л.Г.
Published: August 2024

D-SELF гармония описывается путем абстрактных математических построений на числовых отрезках и их координатах. При обобщении данных и переходе к размерным параметрам и масштабам строится графическая визуализация гармонии путем нормировки и логарифмирования длин отрезков и их координат. Предлагается использовать D-SELF гармонию в междисциплинарных исследованиях для измерения «гармонической совместимости» различных объектов и процессов в специфической зеркально-симметричной системе координат на базе безразмерных гармоничных пропорций. Эффект D-SELF гармонии иллюстрируется на примере простейших геометрических форм (отрезок, квадрат и куб) при повышении и понижении порядкового уровня (размерности) гармонии, и примере моделирования пропорций акустического давления и частот при звучании колокольного звона. Предложена новая интерпретация интервалов равномерно-темперированного музыкального ряда, позволяющая использовать центры гармонии (сопряжения) для определения консонансов и диссонансов внутри и между октавами. Доказывается, что эффект D-SELF гармонии представляет собой расширенный метод гармонических пропорций «золотого сечения».

Published: August 2024

Background: β-thalassemia is a hereditary blood related disorder characterized by partial or complete loss of production of hemoglobin’s β globin chain, which leads to severe anemia. HCV infection is common concern in β-thalassemia patients, particularly due to multiple transfusion, with increased risk of acquiring blood born infections. The prevalence of HCV varies across different region and populations depending on screening method, transfusion practice and geographical factor. HBV and HIV infection also occur in β-thalassemia patients, primarily through blood transfusion and other mode of transmission like vertical transmission. Objectives : The purpose of study was to find out the prevalence of HCV, HIV and HBV in β-thalassemia major patients who were receiving regular blood transfusions. Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted in Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad. This study included 127 patients of β-thalassemia major who were refer to tertiary care hospital in PIMS (Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences). Patients of all age who were confirmed for β-thalassemia major were included in current study. Blood samples were collected from 127 β-thalassemia patients, and after serum separation screening for HCV, HBV and HIV were performed by ICT kit method. Results: Out of 127 β-thalassemia patients, 78 (61.4%) were male and 49 (38.6) were female. Most affected age group was 0-10 years containing 54.3% patient population with mean age 11.3±5.8 years. Most common blood group among β-thalassemia patients was B 46 (36.2%) following O 39 (30.7%), A 32 (25.2%) and AB 10 (7.9%). 61 (48%) were HCV positive, and 1 (0.8%) was HBV positive. Antibodies against HIV were not detected in any samples. Statistical difference of HCV and HBV was found significant among different age groups (p-value <0.05) and non-significant in gender and blood groups (p-value >0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of HCV infection in patients with β-thalassemia is substantially higher than that of HBV and HIV. Older age patients are more vulnerable to HCV infection as compared to younger ones. This situation should be managed and monitored through the administration of antiviral DAAs for the treatment of HCV in patients received more blood transfusion.

Cyclical Time as the Liminal Space of Suffering and Denial in the Narrative of Septimus Warren Smith
Authors: Bánházi Judit Anna
Published: August 2024

Through comparing and contrasting studies from philosophy and mainly contemporary literary theory, this paper aims to outline how a complex temporal paradox is refigured in Septimus Warren Smith’s fictive experience. It is the argument of the article that we can detect the presence of a divergent, modern variant of the concept of Eliade’s archaic cyclical time in this experience, battling with a predominantly linear temporal paradigm, presented through the fictional society of the novel. I argue that linear time is inherently paradoxical as it simultaneously builds and corrodes the individual and that, in Septimus’s experience, cyclical time serves very similar purposes. I observe how Septimus’s fictive modern cyclico-linear time compares to Virginia Woolf's “moments of being” and isolate three types of moments pertinent to Septimus’s experience: the traumatic profane, the psychotic sacred, and the collective haunted. Through defining these three temporal concepts and underlining their presence in the narrative experience of Septimus, I aim to outline how the concept of cyclical time itself becomes a dark, intangible zone in the novel where transcendence is manifested as a consequence of trauma and denial. Septimus immerses himself in the liminal space of dark cyclical time both in hopes of healing, as he tries to amend his fragmented self, and out of necessity, as the post-war society’s denial banishes him into a hellish terrain of endless repetition. Tragically, through the ignorant effort of self-healing through denial, the novel’s society abandons its function to reintroduce Septimus to linear temporal experience. Hence, Septimus finally succumbs to be completely consumed by the liminal space of dark cyclical time. He fulfils both society’s unspoken wish to disappear and his own need to be free from his trauma—all the while an oblivious fictional world moves on in time.
“What, then, was my new friend?”
Authors: Nyerges Csaba
Published: August 2024

Edward Prime-Stevenson’s novel, Imre: A Memorandum (1906), is a recollection of the unfolding relationship between a Hungarian soldier, Imre, and Oswald, an Englishman, whose first-person narration conveys the story through a unique perspective. The novelette functions as a piece of educational literature that aims to break away from the earlier stereotypes of homosexuality’s portrayal, especially of Wildean stereotypes, which, according to Prime-Stevenson, only fuel the negative connotations attached to same-sex desire. The advancement of the narrative is influenced by three main reasons: the book as a piece of educational literature, the restricted and strictly controlled speakable discourse on homosexuality, and Oswald’s experience told from his point of view. The aim of the paper is to argue that the speakability of homosexuality is only possible in a self-censored narrative frame, which pre-emptively decides the limits of the discourse that can be spoken. First, I present Judith Butler’s interpretation of the 1994 congressional statute that prohibited the self-declaration of homosexuality in the US military, in order to reflect upon the performative operation of implicit censorship. Then I explore how self-censorship functions in the dialogues between the protagonists, and argue that Prime-Stevenson’s novel uses narrative “blanks” as a means and ways of creating the discursive frame in which, and only in which the speakability of homosexuality becomes possible. Thereby, I aim to present that for the novel to fulfil its function as educational literature, and to provide a sympathetic reading of homosexual love, it is of crucial importance to maintain the narrative frame and, thus, the limits of the speakable discourse. For Prime-Stevenson, it was only through this perspective that same-sex desire seemed portrayable.
Japanese Philosophy as the Result of History of the National Spiritual Tradition
Authors: Elena Lvovna Skvortsova
Published: August 2024

This article explores the essence of Japanese philosophy, which has evolved through the convergence of various intellectual traditions, including Shintoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. These spiritual foundations have deeply influenced Japanese self-perceptions, societal relations, and governance structures. Employing a dialectical method combined with the principle of complementarity, this study examined the development of Japanese philosophy, particularly during the Meiji (1868-1912) and Taisho (1912-1925) periods, highlighting the integration of Western philosophical ideas. Key contributions from thinkers such as Nishida Kitaro, who sought to merge Western concepts with Eastern traditions, are discussed. This study also emphasizes the importance of traditional Japanese arts and bodily synthesis in shaping philosophical thought. The unique ability of Japanese philosophy to adapt and transform diverse intellectual traditions is a central theme, illustrating its capacity to generate new meanings and approaches. The continuous influence of medieval categories and modern developments showcases a holistic approach that integrates both old and new perspectives. This adaptability is crucial in addressing contemporary issues such as the interaction between information culture and historical spiritual traditions. The study concludes that the flexibility and integrative nature of Japanese philosophy, exemplified by figures such as Nishida Kitaro and Imamichi Tomonobu, remain vital for contemporary philosophical discourse.

Published: August 2024

This study focuses on the mechanical, thermal and durability behaviour of bio composite material use in the construction sector. The incorporation of bio-waste, such as palm fibers, in the cement matrix shows an interesting role. They are available at low prices and are renewable and environmentally friendly raw materials. In this work, palm fibers were added to the sand, cement mixture to produce mortars with good thermal and mechanical properties, which allows us to use them in structural construction. The objective of our work is to study the effect of adding date palm in different lengths equal to 4, 8, 12 and 16 mm on the mechanical behavior of cement mortar, as well as to measure the absorption and thermal conductivity. The percentage by weight of palm fibers is 1% for different sizes of fibers. The obtained results for the cement matrix have shown that when the length of the fibers increases, the flexural strength increases, and the compressive strength decreases. In addition, we have obtained good thermal insulation.

This study aims to elucidate the impact of varying waste glass powder (WGP) content in the concrete mixture on the critical buckling temperature loads (ΔTcr) of thin eco-concrete panels. Our analysis employs the small elastic deformation theory to simulate the eco-concrete panel analytically. The thermo-mechanical performance of the structure is evaluated using Hognestad's homogenization model and compared to the preliminary reference curve for the elasto-plastic behavior of concrete. The equations of motion for thin eco-concrete panels impregnated with different proportions of WGP are determined using elastic governing equations for solids and solved according to the system boundary conditions. The results indicate that as panel thickness decreases and the width-to-length (b/a) ratio increases, the critical temperature (ΔTcr) decreases. Furthermore, an increase in the percentage of WGP in high-performance concrete results in a higher critical temperature (ΔTcr). These findings support and encourage the use of WGP in construction concrete, highlighting the potential environmental benefits of incorporating waste materials to promote ecological sustainability.

The production of biofuels such as biodiesel has attracted considerable attention as a cleaner source of renewable energy, which can greatly contribute to reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. A million liters of edible oil used for cooking foods and date expired oils from oil manufacturers are discarded into sewage. This study primarily intends to study the feasibility of biodiesel production using such waste oils. In this work, biodiesel was prepared from waste cooking oils by a process called transesterification with KOH as a catalyst. Our results showed that methyl ester (biodiesel) (92.67±0.90%). In this study, we were interested in the production of a biofuel based on non-food used frying oil, and followed by a physico-chemical evaluation, the results obtained showed the thermo-oxidative alteration of this oil, confirmed by the evolution of the physico-chemical indices during frying. At the end, this used oil is recovered as fuel (biodiesel). The production of biodiesel is obtained by the transesterification reaction, with a conversion rate of 85%. The physico-chemical properties determined are very interesting and close to those of commercial diesel.

Back-to-back mechanically stabilized earth walls (BBMSEWalls) are one of the common types of reinforced walls with complex geometry. They are mostly used in ramp ways, noise barriers, earth dams, rock fall protection systems, levees, and especially for bridge abutment approaches. This study examines and compares the response of BBMSEWalls with geosynthetic reinforcement and concrete facing panels under different static loads and reinforcement arrangements. For this purpose, this paper describes the results of a series of numerical models of BBMSEWalls with the same height of 6 meters using the finite element calculation code PLAXIS 2D. The horizontal wall displacement and the factor of safety were preferred to check external stability, while the maximum tensile load in the reinforcement was selected to evaluate the internal stability of walls. The numerical results showed that both the distribution of static surcharge loads and the arrangement of reinforcement strongly affect the response of BBMSEWalls, with significant variations in the above criteria after each change in walls configuration.

This paper reports the results of a series of drained and undrained triaxial tests on Chlef soil reinforced with stone columns surrounded by geotextiles. The tests are carried out on reconstituted samples having an initial density index Id =0.50 and which are subjected to an initial confining pressure of 100 kPa. In order to create stone columns that can be realized in situ, sand grains with an average diameter of 2 mm are used to manufacture the tested specimens. In addition, we used 70 and 10 mm for the length and diameter of the stone column, respectively. The test results show that, in one hand the stone columns’ presence affects significantly the soil shear strength, that increases according to the stone columns number and reduces the soil contractiveness (vertical strain), and in the other hand, it decreases the interstitial pressure. Encasement improves the effectiveness of the stone column and raises the rigidity of the reinforced soil by reinforcing the stone column with geotextiles. Furthermore, the secant modulus increases versus of the stone columns number, which is due to the inverse proportionality of this modulus to the axial strains. In addition, the internal frictions increase following a linear evolution law with the increase in the number of inclusions of reinforcements stone columns.

A expectativa de crescimento populacional mundial nas próximas décadas, juntamente com a concentração demográfica em áreas urbanas, tem gerado preocupações sobre a produção de alimentos e a segurança alimentar das pessoas num horizonte projetado até 2050. Nesse contexto, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar estudos anteriores que apresentam indicadores de produtividade e oferta de tecnologias de produção na bovinocultura de corte no Brasil. Adotou-se a perspectiva do Sistema Nacional de Inovação para avaliar a bovinocultura de corte brasileira, com o intuito de compreender a contribuição do Brasil, um dos maiores produtores e exportadores de carne bovina, em termos de tecnologias que possam aumentar a produtividade em um cenário de alta demanda por alimentos até 2050. O estudo identifica as limitações que precisam ser superadas para que a produção de carne bovina possa atender a essa demanda crescente. Para atingir esse objetivo, foram analisados os níveis de maturidade tecnológica do setor produtivo por meio de uma revisão de estudos anteriores. Ao final, o artigo discute ações objetivas que podem contribuir para a superação dos desafios de produção, proporcionando insights sobre como o Brasil pode se posicionar de maneira competitiva e sustentável no mercado global de carne bovina.
O regionalismo marajoara e a educação étnico-racial no componente curricular história: direitos educacionais fundamentados na Lei nº 10.639/03

Published: August 2024

Este artigo originou-se a partir de leituras, pesquisas e considerações acerca da Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais e o regionalismo marajoara. Apresenta uma pesquisa bibliográfica; em diálogo com Coelho; Coelho (2013; 2018), sobre Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais, interculturalidade (Candau,2005; 2012) e a presença negra no Marajó (Salles, 2015; Sarraf-Pacheco, 2012); Coelho, (2013; 2009). O foco central deste estudo é aprofundar o debate sobre a interculturalidade marajoara, contribuindo com pesquisas sobre a presença negra no Marajó, dentro do estudo sobre a Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais e do regionalismo marajoara no Componente Curricular História nos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, tendo como objetivo contribuir com pesquisas sobre a identidade histórica e cultural do Marajó (Woodward, 2000), que tem a presença negra, europeia e indígena como partícipes. A pesquisa conclui que, para uma Educação Étnico-Racial pautada em garantia de direitos e combate ao racismo, o Componente Curricular História nos Anos Iniciais precisa considerar a interculturalidade marajoara, sem suprimir a presença negra dentro desta história e cultura. Para alcançar esse objetivo é indispensável que os/as professores/as tenham formação inicial e continuada sobre essa temática, para que, em suas salas de aula, possam promover uma educação que pedagogicamente contribua para a construção da consciência histórica do/a aluno/a marajoara, entendendo-se como sujeito com identidade individual e coletiva, que compreende sobre a interculturalidade que o/a permeia.

As lavanderias industriais de beneficiamento de jeans, são empresas responsáveis pelo beneficiamento dessas peças, utilizando um volume de água bastante elevado nos processos de modificação da cor e texturas para atender o mercado varejista e atacadista. O uso eficiente da água, se apresenta como uma importante alternativa para atender a demanda elevada desse recurso natural por essas empresas. O objetivo desta pesquisa é avaliar o uso de água e geração de efluentes no processo de beneficiamento de jeans (LBJ) como um estudo de caso nas lavanderias de beneficiamento de jeans localizadas na cidade de Toritama/Pernambuco. Para isso, uma fundamentação teórica com revisão bibliográfica foi estruturada para auxiliar a pesquisa de campo em 9 lavanderias de beneficiamento de jeans, onde foram coletadas informações com auxílio de um questionário semiestruturado, embasado na normativa estadual, que auxiliou a coleta e interpretação dos dados. Os resultados demonstraram que em todas as etapas do processo a relação de banho (R:B) é uma forma usual das empresas identificarem o volume de água utilizado nas etapas de beneficiamento. Nesses processos é utilizado na maioria das vezes, águas captadas do Rio Capibaribe e de poços. Por outro lado, os efluentes gerados são lançados no referido corpo hídrico, causando uma poluição difusa, que interfere nos usos múltiplos da bacia hidrográfica. Para melhorar a qualidade do processo e reduzir o consumo de água, algumas empresas utilizam processos eco-friendly, como o laser, que é um processo à seco e que reduz consequentemente a geração de efluentes.

Speech impairment in deaf people is a complex challenge in the context of learning and communication development. This study aims to determine speech production by deaf people. This research used a qualitative approach with the subject of the research is a single subject aged 50 years. Data was collected through interviews with the family of the deaf person and observation of a single subject aged 50 years who also had a speech disorder and mental health problems. This research shows that there is one statement from the respondent said that “she sometimes gets frustrated and angry when what she wants to say cannot be conveyed properly, which disturbs her mental health”. That is one of the main causes so that they can be mental health. Therefore further research is needed to understand more about speech impairment in deaf people and to develop more effective intervention strategies. By combining these findings, we can gain a better understanding of the complexities of speech impairment in deaf people and formulate recommendations for clinical practice and future research.

. Kinerja karyawan merupakan hasil kerja secara kualitas dan kuantitas yang dicapai oleh seseorang karyawan dalam melaksanakan tugasnya sesuai dengan tanggung jawab yang diberikannya (Mangkunegara, 2009:9). Tuntutan akan kinerja karyawan yang tinggi memang sudah menjadi bagian dari semua perusahaan. Namun fakta yang ada sekarang memperlihatkan bahwa belum semua karyawan memiliki kinerja yang tinggi sesuai dengan harapan perusahaan. Masih banyak terdapat karyawan yang memiliki kinerja yang rendah, seperti yang terjadi pada karyawan Bank Jatim Surabaya pada hasil temuan awal di lapangan yang menunjukkan bahwa sebagian karyawan Bank Jatim Surabaya mengalami permasalahan terkait dengan kinerja yang terlihat dari tidak tercapainya target pada karyawan bagian marketing.
