Published: June 2024

This research aims to overcome the problem of waste waiting, especially long queues, faced by Toko Yanti, a grocery store in Brebes Regency, Central Java Province. The approach used is the application of the 5S method (Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke). The steps involve sorting items, improving layout, arranging items, designing storage areas, implementing work rules, and ongoing evaluation. Observations before implementation show ρ (utilization) is more than one, indicating queue buildup. After implementing 5S, the value of ρ (utilization) becomes less than one, which means there is no accumulation. The implementation of the 5S method succeeded in minimizing waste waiting and increasing service efficiency at Toko Yanti. This process shows an increase in service resources and a reduction in queues, which are important indicators of a store's operational efficiency. The results of this research can be used as a reference for similar businesses to increase productivity and customer satisfaction. Apart from that, the 5S approach can also help reduce queue build-up and increase service efficiency in various types of businesses.

Published: June 2024

The purpose of this study is to use SERVQUAL and the Zone of Tolerance methodologies to evaluate daycare facilities. Research was carried out to comprehend the elements that impact the quality of childcare services to enhance the experience and happiness of service users. A quantitative descriptive-analytical technique was used. Questionnaires were sent to parents who used early childhood care programs to gather data. To assess the gap between customer expectations and perceptions of service quality, the obtained data was analysed using the SERVQUAL technique. The Zone of Tolerance approach was also used to estimate the degree of consumer satisfaction with the services delivered. Staff neatness and service costs/tariffs came out positively in the Servqual gap analysis (0.150 and 0.117, respectively). Two positive MMS value characteristics were produced using the zone of tolerance approach. The zone of tolerance encompasses two characteristics: the ability to respond quickly and efficiently while delivering services (0.017, -0.067) and the capacity to meet customers' unique requirements (0.017, -0.100). The sufficient service category includes five service qualities; if any of these are no longer acceptable to clients, the service must be corrected quickly.  Keywords: service quality, child care, Servqual, zone of tolerance

Published: June 2024

Hearing impairment encompasses conditions where individuals experience difficulties in hearing, categorized into deafness and hard of hearing. The employment opportunities provided by online taxi companies in Indonesia, particularly for motor or car drivers, offer a sense of independence to those with hearing impairments. However, driving necessitates environmental awareness, especially of auditory signals. Hence, there's a need for a surrounding environment warning system to convert crucial sounds into visual alerts, focusing on sounds like sirens and railway crossing warnings. This study introduces a warning system for drivers with hearing impairments, utilizing Recurrent Neural Network and Long Short Term Memory (RNN-LSTM) methods, implemented on a Raspberry Pi. The system, comprising a Raspberry Pi 4, microphone, LCD TFT, and LEDs, processes captured siren sounds into text alerts on the LCD and blinking LED signals. Testing the system with different sound recognition durations—2, 3, and 4 seconds—yielded accuracies of 78%, 82%, and 91%, respectively. Results indicate that prediction accuracy is influenced by the duration of sound recognition. Future research could explore enhancements with higher RAM Raspberry Pi 4 and more sensitive microphones to reduce noise.

Gender equality is a development target in many countries. The ideal condition in human development that is expected is that male and female population groups have equal access to play a role in development, control over existing development resources, and receive benefits from development equally and fairly. The gender gap still occurs today in all aspects. The condition of the gender gap can be known by looking at the Gender Development Index . In observing the data curve, between the Gender Development Index and each independent variable does not form a certain pattern. In addition, the data patterns that are formed tend to repeat. Nonparametric regression analysis is the solution. Fourier series is a nonparametric analysis used for repetitive data. Modeling was performed using 1, 2, and 3 oscillation parameters. Of the three parameters, the best model resulted from the K=3 oscillation parameters with a GCV value of 2.8084 and a coefficient of determination of 42.39%.

Authors: Касьяненко Людмила Олегівна
Published: June 2024

У статті досліджується явище універсальності застосування теоретичних засад класичної риторики як мистецтва висловлювання, що має силу переконання та впливу на аудиторію, у виконавській творчості. Розкрито сутнісний зміст понять «риторика», «ораторське мистецтво» та їхній вплив на теоретичну базу музичного мистецтва, що формує професійну компетентність виконавця, а також педагога, який навчає грі на музичному інструменті. У статті представлено широкий спектр найважливіших елементів музичної риторики – так званих музично-риторичних фігур, які мають певну конструкцію і несуть у собі конкретний зміст, що визначає семантику музичних елементів. Системний підхід вивчення феномену риторики ґрунтується на дослідженні особливостей вербальної мови та музичної «розповіді», інтонування на різних рівнях структурної побудови: від елементів мелодії до музичної форми. Автором обґрунтовані методичні підходи вивчення, які показують, з одного боку, паралельну схожість ораторського мистецтва та музичного виконавства, з іншого – їх особливості та специфіку. Охарактеризовано та проаналізовано приклади виконавської творчості, в основі якої лежить індивідуальна інтерпретація тих самих об’єктивних музичних структур, що отримують художній спосіб під час виконавського «висловлювання». Наведено спільність методичних принципів формування музичної тканини, які виявляють себе в будь-яких особливостях фактури кожного конкретного твору. Методичний підхід вивчення феномену риторики як художнього висловлювання проєктується на мистецтво виконавського інтонування, що визначає емоційне та жанрове заломлення музичного висловлювання, забезпечує «змістовну» частину інтерпретації твору від фрази до цілісної концертної програми. Цілеспрямоване вивчення змістовної сторони музичного твору, особливостей зашифрованої музичної риторики сприяє принципу методичної компетентності, що дає змогу професіонально розвивати майбутнього викладача. Розуміння взаємозв’язку ораторського мистецтва та виконавства, а також специфіки музичного висловлювання як багатоголосного звучання фактури сприяє ефективності освітнього процесу, закладає основи творчого саморозвитку та вдосконалення музичного виконавства.

Published: June 2024

Ignorance of laws and policies creates barriers to the social inclusion of persons with disabilities (PWDs), hindering their full participation in communal life and opportunities. The current study aims to analyze the social inclusion of PWDs in the context of ignorance of laws and policies and how it influences their overall social inclusion. To achieve the study objectives, data were collected from a sample of 488 PWDs, comprising 284 males and 204 females, in the selected six Union Councils (sub-administrative units) of District Malakand, Pakistan. Respondents were chosen through multistage stratified random sampling. In the univariate and multivariate level analyses, the chi-square test and Kendall’s Tau-b test statistics were used to test the relationship between ignorance of laws and policies and the social inclusion of PWDs. Gender and level of disability were used as control variables at the multivariate level. The results of Kendal Tb and chi-square significance values depicted a spurious relation among ignorance of laws and policies and social inclusion of PWDs while controlling respondent’s gender. The results highlighted that ignorance of laws and policies reduced social inclusion in male to a higher extent than female. Additionally, the social inclusion of PWDs with moderate disabilities is more significantly hampered by ignorance of laws and polices than those with severe disabilities.
A critical review of the prospects and challenges of Hepatitis B therapeutic vaccines
Authors: Hudu Shuaibu Abdullahi , Osman Amira , Abu-Shoura Esra’a Jebreel Ibrahim , Jimoh Abdulgafar Olayiwola
Published: June 2024

Hepatitis B therapeutic vaccines hold great promise in the treatment of chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, like any medical intervention, they also face certain prospects and challenges which forms the aim of this critical review. Therapeutic vaccines offer a targeted approach to manage chronic Hepatitis B infections, aiming to stimulate the immune system to recognise and eliminate infected cells. The potential to halt disease progression holds promise for preventing severe liver diseases associated with chronic Hepatitis B, such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Therapeutic vaccines, if effective, could contribute to a more equitable distribution of treatment options globally, especially in resource-limited settings. Hepatitis B therapeutic vaccines may play a crucial role in preventing vertical transmission, reducing the global incidence of perinatal HBV infections and improving maternal-child health outcomes. Diverse vaccine platforms and combination strategies, including immunomodulation and checkpoint inhibitors, are advancing, optimising immunogenicity, and eliciting strong immune responses. Tailoring therapeutic vaccines to individual patients based on genetic considerations may enhance efficacy, recognizing the genetic diversity of Hepatitis B. Therapeutic vaccines need to align with global health goals related to infectious disease elimination, contributing to broader efforts to reduce the burden of Hepatitis B worldwide. While Hepatitis B therapeutic vaccines hold significant promise in transforming the management of chronic infections, addressing challenges related to access, viral variability, and long-term monitoring is crucial for their successful integration into global healthcare strategies.

Finite element analysis of femur bone fracture – modelling and analysis
Authors: Sarmah Pranjal , Kumar Ravi , Thakur Amrit , Sharma Mohit , Yadav Surendra Kumar , Kumar Virendra
Published: June 2024

Femoral fractures are frequent in adolescents and children, and most fractures occur within the centre of the bone, typically referred to as the femur shaft. Plate and screws are ideal fixation methods for femoral fractures close to the articular sur-faces. When using plates and screws, estimating the load on the plates and screws before starting treatment is important. The primary focus of this paper is the examination of fixation plates utilized in the treatment of femur bone fractures. The study employs the finite element method to conduct this analysis. Initial modelling of the femur bone is executed through the utilization of CATIA V5 software. Subsequently, the investigation transitions to the ANSYS R14.5 environment, where more in-depth analysis is carried out. The modelling of the fracture fixation plates is done on commercially available CAD software CATIA V5. The stress distribution of different biomaterials in the bone plate system is calculated when the system is subjected to compressive loads with varying healing times. Here we have used stainless steel (SS316-L), titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) and magnesium alloy (AZ31). More focus was given to the magnesium alloy. Here a fracture gap of 1mm gap was taken for analysis. A comprehensive compressive force amounting to 750 N was applied to the bone-plate assembly during the simulation. This force magnitude corresponds to the approximate weight of an average human body.

However, there is limited understanding of the potential mechanisms challenges of families where parents themselves experience mental health issues such as high degree of HA symptoms.

Objective

The aim of this study was to explore parental experiences of pandemic life in families with continuously high levels of HA symptoms during the covid-19 pandemic.

Method

Six parents, identified with high levels of HA symptoms, participated in qualitative individual semi-structured interviews. Interviews were analysed according to Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis principles.

Results

Three main themes emerged. Theme 1) “Anxious children in a pandemic world” explores how pandemic – independent child factors including anxious temperament may have influenced the child pandemic experience. Theme 2) “Parental influences on child anxiety” describes parental reflections on their possible influence on child anxious thoughts. Theme 3) “Living with pandemic guidelines and restrictions” demonstrates the varying parental experiences of interventions and how these may affect HA thoughts.

Conclusion

Parents who themselves experience HA symptoms see their children, who also experience HA symptoms, to be particularly susceptible and vulnerable to both content and rhetoric of pandemic information. These children may however, experience school lockdown to be anxiety relieving. Parents who themselves have illness-related fears may not see themselves as perpetuating for their child's anxious thoughts.

Environmental Forming Health Improving Effect of Tree and Shrub Vegetation as a Sanogenic Factor on Air: View on the Problem
Authors: Lukianchuk N. , Tretyak P.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The climate changes, in particular, its oxygen and water vapor content in air have acquired special importance for human health.
The aim of the study. To investigate the environmental health effect of tree-shrub vegetation on the air as a sanogenic factor.
Materials and methods. The impact of tree and shrub vegetation productivity on the air material and energy balance were performed on the fundamental method basis. The forest productivity in Ukraine and, particularly, of Lviv region and individual objects nature reserve fund, is represented by tree trunks annual increment average volume of official data. The amount of deposited carbon in the total phytomass, produced oxygen and water vapor, as well as the thermal energy consumption for its evaporation was calculated on the material-energy proportions basis of photosynthesis and transpiration processes.
Results. The Ukrainian forests annually produce 60 million tons of atomic oxygen, making an important impact for air enrichment and local disinfection. Also they vapor 36.3×109 tons of water, consuming for this purpose 25×106 GW-hours thermal energy, which is cooling the boundary air layer upon the Ukrainian territory up to 0.3-0.6 0С. Subjected to an average annual wood increment of 4.2 m3/ha-1/year-1, their tree and shrub vegetation produce annually 6.72 t/ha-1 of oxygen and vapor 4064 t/ha-1 of water. Such evaporation requires consumption of 2.772 GW/h/ha-1 of thermal energy, which is equal for cooling of the 30-meter surface air layer in their stands by 1.84-3.05 0С.
Conclusions. The obtained results emphasize an extremely important environment-forming role of the production process of tree-shrub vegetation, in particular, forests, nature reserve objects, parks and green spaces of cities and towns. Such fundamental provisions should be reflected in the educational process of ecology, resort science and phytoremediation. On their basis, it is expedient to develop projects for optimizing the environment of settlements, industrial and resort zones. An increase in the environment-forming influence of vegetation can be achieved by increasing their productivity, in particular, by increasing the potential indicators of the volume, density and growth of stands per unit area. It is desirable to have a large number of large trees of fast-growing species.

Jejunal lipomas are rare benign mesenchymal tumors made up of adipocytes confined to the submucosa layer. They are usually asymptomatic and are incidentally found during imaging or endoscopic tests. Those measuring > 2 cm may become symptomatic as a result of complications as intestinal intussusception, obstruction and bleeding. We herein report a rare case of intussusception of an ulcerated jejunal lipoma in an adult patient, that was diagnosticated in the setting of an intestinal hemorrhage.
Editorial on “Pancreatic resections for metastases in the pancreas: analysis of surgical and oncologic outcomes”
Authors:   Hospital de Gastroenterología Dr. Carlos Bonorino Udaondo, Lucio S. Uranga
Published: June 2024

Metastases to the pancreas represent less than 2% of all pancreatic resections; the most common primary malignancy found in this organ is clear renal cell carcinoma. Isolated pancreatic metastases from other organs are exceptional and anecdotal, as evidenced by the published series. Therefore, I will limit my comments to this topic. Dissemination typically occurs through the hematogenous route and rarely through the lymphatic system. There is no evidence of dissemination from the pancreatic lesion, so a resection of the lesion with clear margins and without lymphadenectomy is sufficient and oncologically appropriate. The paper by Brossuti et al. in this issue of the journal raises several interesting points that merit discussion
La versión original con subtítulo intralingüístico como recurso para la mejora de la pronunciación∗

Published: June 2024

"This article aims to show the potential of didactic audiovisual translation (DAT), for the improvement of pronunciation in French as a foreign language (FFL), through a pedagogical procedure based on listening and reading aloud a text, repetition, video recording and evaluation of the recording by means of an automatic intralinguistic subtitling tool providing written transcription of the reading aloud. This task also seeks to develop autonomous learning of oral skills, which are often overlooked in the teaching and learning of foreign lan- guages, through a DAT activity, designed to facilitate self-correction and improvement of pro- nunciation for Spanish-speaking university students at A1 level."

Objetivo: Analisar a efetividade das estratégias de prevenção ao câncer de pele tipo melanoma. Métodos: O presente estudo trata-se de uma abordagem qualitativa, retrospectiva e transversal executada por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. As bases de dados utilizadas foram National Library of Medicine (Pubmed) e Portal Regional da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram encontrados um total de 14 artigos. Resultados: Por meio dos estudos analisados, foi observado que as estratégias eficazes consistiam em fornecimento de material educativo, capacitação de profissionais de saúde e apresentação de um autorretrato fotoenvelhecido. O mapeamento corporal total foi competente nos pacientes de alto risco para desenvolvimento de melanoma e os dosímetros de exposição a radiação UV não obtiveram bons resultados, podendo estar relacionado com má utilização do filtro solar. Considerações finais: Portanto, as estratégias de prevenção devem se direcionar a informações quanto as características das lesões melanóticas e fatores de risco. Além do incentivo a redução da exposição solar e utilização de práticas de proteção solar. No entanto, é necessário que os profissionais de saúde tenham conhecimento acerca deste tema.
