Authors: Noor Mohammad Sayed , Handani Narariya Dita
Published: March 2024

This study conducted an analysis of 1500 user generated content from Google Travel to examine the factors influencing airport services and customer perceptions. Quantitative textual analysis is employed to extract meaningful insights. Our findings highlighted the most frequently used words in airport user generated content, reflecting critical aspects of airport experiences such as the airport itself, the quality of service, and international travel. A cluster analysis revealed five distinct clusters, representing flight operations, location, views, customer feelings, and intangible services. A co-occurrence network analysis showed strong correlations among keywords associated with positive experiences, underscoring the importance of service quality and infrastructure in customer satisfaction. Furthermore, through topic modeling, we categorized words into five distinct groups: airport flights, ground services, international services, customer experience, and location. The practical implications of this study are substantial. The insights can help airport management identify strengths and areas needing improvement, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction and the overall airport experience.

Currently, technological advancements are progressing rapidly. Nowadays, almost everything can be done digitally using technology. Web-based applications are widely used in various fields, such as financial management applications, employee data management applications, and various others. One of these applications is document archiving, which is essential for managing information in various institutions, including Palangkaraya Public High School 4 (SMAN 4). The term "archive" originates from the Greek language, "Archivum" or "Archeon," which means a place for storing government-related documents. Letter archiving is a crucial component of information management, and SMAN 4 Palangkaraya has not had a letter archiving application in place. They have been relying on manual archiving methods, which come with several issues, including the need for significant physical space, susceptibility to damage, difficulties in retrieval, maintenance costs, and the risk of data loss. To address these issues, a community service team has developed a web-based letter archiving application using PHP and the CodeIgniter 3 framework. This application enables users to archive and manage letters digitally. After building the application, the community service team also conducted a campaign to promote the use of the letter archiving application, held at the administrative office of SMAN 4 Palangkaraya. With a large number of students and teachers, SMAN 4 Palangkaraya can utilize this technology to enhance efficiency and transparency in their letter archiving processes.

Authors: Doloksaribu Raja Pranatha , Silkapianis Asya Annisa , Firmansyah Amrie
Published: March 2024

Peningkatan gas rumah kaca (GRK) telah mengubah iklim dan lingkungan. Pengungkapan emisi karbon memainkan peran penting dalam mendorong transisi menuju ekonomi rendah karbon. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menyoroti pentingnya pengungkapan emisi karbon di Indonesia sebagai salah satu upaya dalam mengurangi jejak karbon. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif melalui literatur review. Data dalam penelitian ini adalah informasi dari penelitian terdahulu, penerapan best practices kebijakan carbon disclosure di berbagai negara, dan studi literatur lainnya. Data kemudian dikumpulkan dan dianalisis melalui thematic analysis dan dilakukan triangulasi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pengungkapan emisi karbon dapat mendorong perubahan perilaku dan meningkatkan kesadaran kesadaran publik tentang perubahan iklim dan emisi karbon. Pengungkapan emisi karbon juga berdampak positif terhadap pengurangan jejak karbon, serta berdampak positif pada reputasi perusahaan. Berbeda dengan beberapa negara yang telah menerapkan mandatory carbon disclosure, Indonesia saat ini belum mewajibkan pengungkapan emisi karbon dan pengungkapan masih besifat voluntary. Sifat pengungkapan emisi karbon yang masih sukarela tersebut juga menyebabkan tingkat pengungkapan karbon masih rendah karena menandakan bahwa tingkat kesadaran mengenai isu emisi karbon di antara entitas bisnis perusahaan masih terbatas. Pemerintah melalui Otoritas Jasa Keuangan diharapkan dapat menyusun penguatan regulasi mengenai pengungkapan emisi karbon yang bersifat wajib untuk dapat meningkatkan tingkat pengungkapan emisi karbon di Indonesia.
Brain protective effect of dexmedetomidine vs propofol for sedation during prolonged mechanical ventilation in non-brain injured patients
Authors: Yuan Hong-Xun , Zhang Li-Na , Li Gang , Qiao Li
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Dexmedetomidine and propofol are two sedatives used for long-term sedation. It remains unclear whether dexmedetomidine provides superior cerebral protection for patients undergoing long-term mechanical ventilation.

AIM

To compare the neuroprotective effects of dexmedetomidine and propofol for sedation during prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients without brain injury.

METHODS

Patients who underwent mechanical ventilation for > 72 h were randomly assigned to receive sedation with dexmedetomidine or propofol. The Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale (RASS) was used to evaluate sedation effects, with a target range of -3 to 0. The primary outcomes were serum levels of S100-β and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) every 24 h. The secondary outcomes were remifentanil dosage, the proportion of patients requiring rescue sedation, and the time and frequency of RASS scores within the target range.

RESULTS

A total of 52 and 63 patients were allocated to the dexmedetomidine group and propofol group, respectively. Baseline data were comparable between groups. No significant differences were identified between groups within the median duration of study drug infusion [52.0 (IQR: 36.0-73.5) h vs 53.0 (IQR: 37.0-72.0) h, P = 0.958], the median dose of remifentanil [4.5 (IQR: 4.0-5.0) μg/kg/h vs 4.6 (IQR: 4.0-5.0) μg/kg/h, P = 0.395], the median percentage of time in the target RASS range without rescue sedation [85.6% (IQR: 65.8%-96.6%) vs 86.7% (IQR: 72.3%-95.3), P = 0.592], and the median frequency within the target RASS range without rescue sedation [72.2% (60.8%-91.7%) vs 73.3% (60.0%-100.0%), P = 0.880]. The proportion of patients in the dexmedetomidine group who required rescue sedation was higher than in the propofol group with statistical significance (69.2% vs 50.8%, P = 0.045). Serum S100-β and NSE levels in the propofol group were higher than in the dexmedetomidine group with statistical significance during the first six and five days of mechanical ventilation, respectively (all P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

Dexmedetomidine demonstrated stronger protective effects on the brain compared to propofol for long-term mechanical ventilation in patients without brain injury.
Analysis of risk factors of suicidal ideation in adolescent patients with depression and construction of prediction model
Authors: Zhou Jun-Chao , Cao Yan , Xu Xu-Yuan , Xian Zhen-Ping
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

Major depressive disorder is a common mental illness among adolescents and is the largest disease burden in this age group. Most adolescent patients with depression have suicidal ideation (SI); however, few studies have focused on the factors related to SI, and effective predictive models are lacking.

AIM

To construct a risk prediction model for SI in adolescent depression and provide a reference assessment tool for prevention.

METHODS

The data of 150 adolescent patients with depression at the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang from June 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on whether or not they had SI, they were divided into a SI group (n = 91) and a non-SI group (n = 59). The general data and laboratory indices of the two groups were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing SI in adolescent patients with depression, a nomogram prediction model was constructed based on the analysis results, and internal evaluation was performed. Receiver operating characteristic and calibration curves were used to evaluate the model’s efficacy, and the clinical application value was evaluated using decision curve analysis (DCA).

RESULTS

There were differences in trauma history, triggers, serum ferritin levels (SF), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels (hs-CRP), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) levels between the two groups (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that trauma history, predisposing factors, SF, hs-CRP, and HDL-C were factors influencing SI in adolescent patients with depression. The area under the curve of the nomogram prediction model was 0.831 (95%CI: 0.763–0.899), sensitivity was 0.912, and specificity was 0.678. The higher net benefit of the DCA and the average absolute error of the calibration curve were 0.043, indicating that the model had a good fit.

CONCLUSION

The nomogram prediction model based on trauma history, triggers, ferritin, serum hs-CRP, and HDL-C levels can effectively predict the risk of SI in adolescent patients with depression.
Causal relationship between feelings and cognitive decline: An univariable and multivariable Mendelian randomization study
Authors: Liu Juan , Liu Lin , Hu Yi-Xin , Li Jian-Hua , Zou Xiao , Zhang Hao-Yun , Fan Li
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND

While the impact of depression on cognition is well-documented, the relationship between feelings and cognition has received limited attention.

AIM

To explore the potential association between feelings and cognition with a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

METHODS

Our analysis utilized genome-wide association data on various feelings (fed-up feelings, n = 453071; worrier/anxious feelings, n = 450765; guilty feelings, n = 450704; nervous feelings, n = 450700; sensitivity/hurt feelings, n = 449419; miserableness, n = 454982; loneliness/isolation, n = 455364; happiness, n = 152348) in the European population and their impact on cognitive functions (intelligence, n = 269867). Conducting a univariable MR (UVMR) analysis to assess the relationship between feelings and cognition. In this analysis, we applied the inverse variance weighting (IVW), weighted median, and MR Egger methods. Additionally, we performed sensitivity analysis (leave-one-out analysis), assessed heterogeneity (using MR-PRESSO and Cochran’s Q test), and conducted multiple validity test (employing MR-Egger regression). Subsequently, a multivariable MR (MVMR) analysis was employed to examine the impact of feelings on cognition. IVW served as the primary method in the multivariable analysis, complemented by median-based and MR-Egger methods.

RESULTS

In this study, UVMR indicated that sensitivity/hurt feelings may have a negative causal effect on cognition (OR = 0.63, 95%CI: 0.43-0.92, P = 0.017). After adjustment of other feelings using MVMR, a direct adverse causal effect on cognition was observed (ORMVMR = 0.39, 95%CI: 0.17-0.90, PMVMR = 0.027). While a potential increased risk of cognitive decline was observed for fed-up feelings in the UVMR analysis (ORUVMR = 0.64, 95%CI: 0.42-0.97, PUVMR = 0.037), this effect disappeared after adjusting for other feelings (ORMVMR = 1.42, 95%CI: 0.43-4.74, PMVMR = 0.569). These findings were generally consistent across MV-IVW, median-based, and MR-Egger analyses. MR-Egger regression revealed pleiotropy in the impact of worrier/anxious feelings on cognition, presenting a challenge in identifying the effect. Notably, this study did not demonstrate any significant impact of guilty feelings, nervous feelings, miserableness, or loneliness/isolation on cognition. Due to a limited number of instrumental variables for happiness, this study was unable to analyze the relationship between happiness and cognition.

CONCLUSION

This MR study finds that sensitivity/hurt feelings are associated with cognitive decline, while the link between worrier/anxious feelings and cognition remains inconclusive. Insufficient evidence supports direct associations between happiness, guilty feelings, nervous feelings, miserableness, loneliness/isolation, and cognition.
The voice of the Adriatic? The Keszthely triton conch trumpet
Authors: Ilon Gábor , Sümegi Pál
Published: March 2024

A trumpet made from the shell of a triton conch (Charonia sp.), from the time of the Late Copper Age Protoboleráz horizon, was found at the Keszthely–Fenékpuszta I site in western Hungary. Triton’s trumpet conches are widely spread in tropical, subtropical, and Mediterranean marine habitats, including the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas. In Hungary, extremely rare finds of this species may have originated from the Adriatic Sea, the closest distribution area within the reach of long-distance trade. By removing the tip of the shell of the conch, a horn was made which could be used to emit high-pitched sounds, as a ceremonial horn and/or played in harmony with other instruments.

Authors: Marchenko Alexey , Bayanova Olga
Published: March 2024

The scientific article contains a theoretical review of scientific literature on the problems of development of the crop production industry. Attention is drawn to the state of the market for crop products, the competitiveness of agricultural sectors and the presence of consumer purchasing preferences in relation to organic products. The dynamics of reduction in sown areas have been revealed, and natural and climatic factors affecting the range, yield and production efficiency have been noted. A methodology for a comprehensive analysis of the conditions for conducting economic activity in the agricultural sector of the economy is presented. The activities of agricultural producers aimed at providing priority provision of their own feed to the livestock industry by reducing the marketable portion of crop production were noted. Solutions for efficient feed production are presented through the selection of promising varieties of feed crops, planning the yield and nutritional value of feed. The strategic directions for the development of the crop production industry have been determined. The priority of development of the crop production industry is confirmed by the presence of deposits and producers of mineral fertilizers. Weaknesses include natural, climatic and soil conditions that limit the list, yield and efficiency of crop production. There are quite a lot of threats to reduce crop production, but the main ones are of a social nature: the continuing outflow of young people from rural areas; Due to labor shortages, there is an increase in abandoned agricultural land. Political, managerial, production and economic opportunities for the development of the crop production industry have been identified in terms of ensuring a targeted approach to personnel training, the development of social and production infrastructure that makes it possible to promote the rural lifestyle among the younger generation and ensure the investment attractiveness of the industry. Thus, great potential for priority development of the crop production industry has been identified.

Models that predict distributions of species by combining known occurrence records with digital layers of environmental variables have much potential for application in conservation. Through using this module, teachers will enable students to develop species distribution models, to apply the models across a series of analyses, and to interpret predictions accurately. In addition to its original components, this module features an updated and condensed synthesis document ("A Brief Introduction to Species Distribution Modeling for Conservation Educators and Practitioners," which provides theoretical and practical guidance for the expanding field of species distribution modeling. The synthesis is supplemented by a new exercise where learners create and optimize species distribution models using Wallace, an R-based GUI (Graphical User Interface) application for ecological modeling that currently focuses on building, evaluating, and visualizing models of species niches and distributions. Additionally, there are four new PowerPoint presentations on species distribution models (the history and theory, data and algorithms, and evaluating SDMs), as well as a presentation on how to use Wallace. The original Synthesis, "Species' Distribution Modeling for Conservation Educators and Practitioners," introduces learners to the modeling approach, outlines key concepts and terminology, and describes questions that may be addressed using the approach. A theoretical framework that is fundamental to ensuring that students understand the uses and limitations of the models is then described. Additionally, it details the main steps in building and testing a distribution model, and describes three case studies that illustrate applications of the models. This module is targeted at a level suitable for teaching graduate students and conservation professionals.
FROM THE FIRST “ACTUALITIES” TO TELEVISION DOCUMENTARY (THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES)
Authors:   Lia Zambakhidze, Chalaganidze Nino
Published: March 2024

The earliest instances of cinematography can be traced back to "Actuality Films" which portrayed the everyday lives of society. These films mechanically captured genuine footage, providing an accurate depiction of fleeting moments in existence that were brought into the limelight. Numerous endeavors aimed at capturing and presenting reality were eventually recognized as the birth of cinema in 1895. Although the initial films had a documentary nature, the term "cinema" itself emerged several decades later, becoming linked to the authenticity, credibility, and educational aspect of the content. Over the course of time, the narrator's voice and background noise were incorporated into the footage, while the shooting techniques, angles, and perspectives underwent improvement. The introduction of editing provided authors with even more powerful means to communicate their message to the viewers. Collectively and individually, these elements have given documentaries an immeasurable opportunity to influence the audience's emotions, knowledge, and sentiments. The historical analysis uncovered that inventors' aspiration to portray events with utmost precision in motion went far beyond the initial objective of creating cinema. In fact, it was solely through concentrated efforts on technical advancements that the first "actualities" emerged. This paper consistently demonstrates, through the content analysis of documentary films, how the stages of technical development have impacted the forms and methods of depiction as well as the dissemination of socio-cultural trends in society over time. It also sheds light on how the authors' visions, aspirations, and objectives underwent transformation. In parallel with irreversible technical and technological progress, the media landscape witnessed the emergence of new genres. Documentaries gradually embraced contemporary storytelling techniques. Eventually, by blending journalistic approaches with cinematography, a novel hybrid form known as "television documentary" emerged.
The New European Customs Law
Authors: Wolffgang Hans-Michael , Harden Kerstin
Published: March 2024

Profound economic and legal changes have made it necessary to reform European customs law. The Modernised European Customs Code (MCC) was outdated before it had even entered into force and was therefore recast as the Union Customs Code (UCC). It entered into force in October 2013 and will take effect from 1 May 2016. Besides structural changes, the UCC features substantive changes and amendments, particularly concerning the incurrence and extinguishment of the customs debt, the customs debtor, penalties, repayment and remission, customs procedures as well as the Authorised Economic Operator (AEO). This paper provides an overview of these changes.
Strengthening Customs Cooperation of BRICS Countries: Improving People-Oriented Capacity Building Strategies to Achieve Mutual Recognition of Accredited Operator Programs
Authors: Wei Libing
Published: March 2024

The five BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) are key emerging economies in driving global trade for stable economic recovery and key players in the effort to reduce world poverty. In order to facilitate global trade through adoption of business-friendly schemes, the five countries are implementing various models of Accredited Operator (AO) programs. Although these AO programs have demonstrated their effectiveness in strengthening supply chain management and economic competitiveness, this paper contends that an uphill struggle remains for the key objective: to reach a mutual recognition arrangement among customs authorities. The main objective of this comparative study is to achieve future mutual recognition arrangements of AO programs operational in BRICS countries and identify actionable approaches to people-oriented capacity building. It suggests exploring a standardised people development strategy and developing vocational training programs in a bid to facilitate mutual recognition of AO or Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) programs of the five countries. The paper also highlights capacity building instruments advocated by international organisations and seeks to motivate the development of customs professionals involved in AO programs.

Due to climate change, precipitation variability, temperature rise, an increase in the frequency of natural disasters, and direct and indirect human impact, the range of plant species is changing significantly. Specifically, there has been an increase in gathering plants from nature because of the growing use of these valuable and medicinal plants. Thus, by simulating the plant’s existing range using Maxent simulation, our goal is to determine its area as well as how it would alter in response to climate change. 525 ranges from surveys conducted in 2018, 2020, and 2021 in the Mongolian districts of Khentii, Mongolian Dauria, Khangai, and Khuvsgul were utilized. Based on our research, out of 21 environmental indicators, five are the most significant. It is influenced by 65.2% of precipitation of the warmest quarter, 16.2% of the mean temperature of the warmest quarter, 8.1% of the annual mean temperature, 7.4% of slope, and 3% of total annual precipitation. Currently, 30% of Mongolia’s total land area is suitable for Dasiphora fruticosa cultivation, of which 8% is ideal and 7% is exceptionally suitable. However, the remaining 70% cannot expand. The favorable range of Dasiphora fruticosa tends to shrink as a result of climate change.
Сөөгөн боролзгоно (Dasiphora fruticosa (L.) Rydb.) ургамлын тархацыг Монгол орны хэмжээнд Maxent ашиглан загварчлах нь
Хураангуй. Уур амьсгалын өөрчлөлт, хур тунадасны хэлбэлзэл, температурын өсөлт, байгалийн гамшигт үзэгдлүүдийн давтамж нэмэгдэх, мөн хүний шууд болон шууд бус нөлөөгөөр ургамлын төрөл зүйлийн тархац ихээхэн өөрчлөгдөж байна. Тэр дундаа эмийн болон ашигт ургамлын хэрэглээ нэмэгдсэнтэй холбоотойгоор байгаль дээрээс нь түүж бэлтгэх нь ихэссэн. Иймд бид Maxent загварчлалаар Сөөгөн боролзгоно ургамлын одоо байгаа тархцын талбайг тогтоож, цаашлаад уур амьсгалын өөрчлөлтөөс хамааран талбайн хэмжээ хэрхэн өөрчлөгдөхийг илрүүлэх зорилготой. Монгол орны Хэнтийн уулын тайга, Монгол Дагуурын уулын ойт хээр, Хангайн уулын ойт хээр, Хөвсгөлийн уулын тайгын тойргуудад 2018, 2020 болон 2021 онд хийгдсэн судалгаагаар цуглуулагдсан 525 тархцын цэгэн мэдээллийг ашигласан. Бидний судалгаагаар орчны 21 үзүүлэлтээс 5 хүчин зүйлс хамгийн их хамааралтай байна. Үүнд зуны улирлын 6-8 сарын хур тунадас 65.2 хувь, зуны улирлын 6-8 сарын дундаж температур 16.2 хувь, жилийн дундаж температур 8.1 хувь, хэвгийн налуу 7.4 хувь, жилийн нийлбэр хур тунадас 3 хувийн нөлөө үзүүлж байна. Одоогийн Сөөгөн боролзгонын ургах тохиромжтой газар Монгол орны нийт газар нутгийн 30 хувийг эзэлж байна үүнээс 8 хувьд нь хамгийн тохиромжтой, 7 хувьд өндөр тохиромжтой. Харин үлдсэн 70 хувьд нь ургах боломжгүй байна. Уур амьсгалын өөрчлөлт нь Сөөгөн боролзгонын тааламжтай тархац нутгийн хэмжээг багасгах чиг хандлагатай байна.

This research aimed to investigate the possibility of using the mixture of boric acid and glutinous rice flour as a cost-efficient alternative additive for producing silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic sintered at 1800℃ via pressureless solid-state sintering. The results indicated that the addition of boric acid- glutinous rice flour mixture (10 wt%) in an appropriate ratio (0.5 by molar ratio) into the SiC mixture (90 wt%) enhanced the densification and flexural strength of sintered SiC samples. However, increasing boric acid/glutinous rice flour ratio reduces density and flexural strength. The 5.45 wt% carbon content was sufficient to remove the oxide layer of the SiC surface and improve the properties of SiC ceramic. In summary, the boric acid-glutinous rice flour mixture has a high potential to be used as an additive for producing dense and porous SiC ceramics via pressureless solid-state sintering.

An inverted-T structure is implemented with the Junctionless (JL) topology at nanoscale dimensions. The Inverted-T Junctionless (ITJL) FET features a multi-fin architecture that utilizes the unused space within the fins and combines it with the junctionless topology, maintaining the same doping concentration from source to drain. In order to mitigate the short channel effects and overcome the fabrication challenges, an inverted-T FET has been designed. The crucial performance parameters of device are explored by varying the geometric dimensions and process parameters. The performance of ITJLFET is measured by varying different parameters namely temperature (T), doping concentration (Nd), work function 𝒎 ), and dielectric constant (K) at 30-nm technology node and effect of geometric variations are measured by altering the gate length (Lg) and oxide thickness (Tox). Inverted-T junctionless field effect transistor (ITJLFET) is designed with different gate lengths in the range of 14 nm to 30 nm and shows the improvement in ION by 64% as compared to the conventional JLFET. The parametric analysis like transfer characteristics (Id-Vgs), Ion/IOFF ratio, subthreshold swing (SS), drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) and gate capacitance (Cgg) are investigated for 250 K to 350 K. From the results, it is perceived that temperature has less effect on the Inverted-T junctionless transistor performance. The cut-off frequency for the designed device is calculated and observed to be in the range of 0.3 to 1.5 THz. Hence, device can be used for high-frequency applications at the submicron regime.
“Profiles in Success”: Certified Physician Executives Share the Value and ROI of their CPE Education
Authors: Angood Peter
Published: March 2024

The value of physician leadership is self-evident. Physician-led hospitals and health systems outperform their non-physician-led peers in objective measures of quality of care, patient experience, and cost of care. Health system and hospital leaders recognize that more physician leaders are needed and are investing in physician leadership development programs to address that need. The impact, value, and benefits of these programs are understudied topics, and research is needed to identify the return-on-investment that organizations can expect. AAPL is well-positioned to take a lead in this important research. To that end, AAPL began documenting the value of its own Certified Physician Executive (CPE) credential in 2023 when it surveyed program alumni to identify the organizational impacts of their leadership since completing the program.
