Authors: Ranjani Ranjani Ranjani , Ratminto Ratminto Ratminto , Isna Alizar Isna
Published: July 2023

Policy alienation was developed to better understand the experience of frontline public professionals with new policies. The study of policy alienation examines the problems that arise from the implementation of certain policies. The implementation of the Public Service Mall policy is intended to unite services from the central government, local government and private sector in one place. This research focuses on alienation in policy implementation, especially on the implementation of the Public Service Mall (MPP) policy in the Banyumas Regency. The research method used in this study is qualitative. The data analysis method used is an interactive analysis model. The results of the study indicate that policy alienation in the implementation of the Public Service Mall policy in Banyumas Regency does not occur spontaneously, but because of the emergence of various reactions and events on the implementation of the Public Service Mall policy in Banyumas Regency through various actions, such as refusal to integrate licensing and non-licensing services from several agencies. Then, another reason is the limited authority possessed by public employees in MPP. Another factor behind the occurrence of policy alienation in the implementation of the Banyumas Regency Public Service Mall is the limited budget and human resources.

One of the functions of government is to empower the community to achieve equity and accelerate welfare. For this reason, the government has formed government units down to the village level so that the empowerment process can run well and on target. Cirawamekar is a village in West Bandung Regency that has the potential for wood crafting in the form of Wayang Golek and souvenirs. Unfortunately, amid increasing appreciation coming from the international community, this does not have an impact on the welfare of the artisans in Cirawamekar Village. For this reason, this research was conducted to see the empowerment efforts carried out by the village government for the craftsmen. Through a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach, this study found that the empowerment efforts carried out by the Cirawamekar Village government for the craftsmen were not optimal. The basic needs of the craftsmen, specifically promotion and marketing, have not been able to be carried out by the Cirawamekar Village government.

Published: July 2023

 Data is derived from 353 individual narratives from Australian Finance Sector Union members’ stories. Ten ren workers’ narratives constitute a convenience sample within the population of FSU members, with a reference to ‘suicide’,  either attempted suicide and suicidal ideation. All the narratives respond to one question: to shine a light on the toxic systemic practices they experienced in their work environment.  If the ten FSU workers had not freely volunteered their stories to their union, their vulnerability to suicide due to their toxic work environment would have likely remained invisible. The study examines the social history of factors in work health and safety and workers compensation that contribute to the invisibility of work factors in suicide.

[ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF STRAWBERRY FRUIT PATHOGENIC FUNGI DURING STORAGE]. Storing strawberry fruit is one way to extend its shelf life and maintain its quality during storage. However, during storage, there is still a risk of pathogenic fungi attack that can cause damage to the strawberry fruit. Pathogenic fungi attack on fruits can cause various types of damage, such as physical damage, color changes, loss of taste and aroma, as well as a decrease in nutritional quality. In addition, pathogenic fungi can also cause significant economic losses for farmers and producers. The purpose of this study is to identify the types of pathogenic fungi commonly found on strawberry fruit and analyze the severity of damage caused by pathogenic fungi. Identification of fungal species is carried out using microscopic methods and through examination of spore morphology. The pathogenic fungi that attack strawberry fruit are Penicillium spp., Colletotrichum spp., and Botrytis cinerea. Strawberry fruit stored at a cool temperature can suppress post-harvest disease symptoms compared to those stored at room temperature.

Our memories of episodic experiences are represented and organized by contexts. Events that share overlapping contextual features such as spatio-temporal proximity are more likely to be organized together in our memories. But how do we represent and remember other people? The predominant view in social cognition is that people are represented as a bundle of attributes such as personality traits. However, in real-world contexts we most often learn about others by observing or participating in social interactions, which inform our understanding of interpersonal-relationships. In this study, we explore how people spontaneously represent and remember others after watching a character-driven television show. We find that memory for individual characters is organized around interpersonal relationships rather than person- or situation-specific attributes (i.e., actions, traits, social groups, or locations). Moreover, even the subtle order in which participants recalled the names of each character can be predicted by graphs of that character’s social network. These findings suggest that the way we naturally represent and remember people is largely driven by their connections with others. We believe our work provides new avenues of inquiry that move beyond person-centric approaches in social cognition and a novel perspective on contextual features for memory research.
Interventions to Promote Retrieval Practice: Strategy Knowledge Predicts Intent, but Perceived Cost Predicts Usage
Authors: Wang Lisi , Muenks Katherine , Yan Veronica X.
Published: July 2023

Retrieval practice is an effective strategy to promote long-term retention and learning, but students do not always use it in the most effective ways. Applying various intervention design principles that leverage socio-motivational research, we created an intervention targeted at not only teaching students about the efficacy of retrieval practice, but also at changing their study behaviors. We focused on increasing students’ understanding of how to implement retrieval practice effectively and decreasing their perceived cost of using retrieval practice. We found that our intervention increased students’ procedural metacognitive knowledge (that retrieval practice can be implemented flexibly in various formats) and intended use of retrieval practice, but it did not reduce perceived cost (that engaging in retrieval practice costs too much time and effort), as compared to a traditional retrieval practice intervention. There were also no effects of our intervention on reported use of retrieval practice. Further, results from a structural equation model analysis showed that self-efficacy of procedural metacognitive knowledge was positively associated with students’ intended use of the strategy, whereas perceived cost was negatively associated with their reported use of the strategy. Alleviating perceived cost could be a potential venue for future intervention aimed at encouraging the self-regulated use of retrieval practice.
Unique Contributions of Dynamic Affect Indicators – Beyond Static Variability
Authors: Koslowski Kenneth , Holtmann Jana
Published: July 2023

Indicators of affect dynamics (IADs) capture temporal dependencies and instability in affective trajectories over time. However, the relevance of IADs for the prediction of time?invariant outcomes (e.g., depressive symptoms) was recently challenged due to results suggesting low predictive utility beyond intraindividual means and variances. We argue that these results may in part be explained by mathematical redundancies between IADs and static variability. In two extensive simulation studies we investigate the accuracy and power for detecting non-null relations between IADs and an outcome variable in different relevant settings, illustrating the effect of the length of a time series as well as of the presence of missing values or measurement error. We show that, if uncertainty in individual IAD estimates is not accounted for, relations between IADs (i.e., autoregressive effects) and a time-invariant outcome are underestimated even in large samples and propose the use of a latent multilevel one-step approach. In an empirical application we illustrate that the different modeling approaches can lead to different substantive conclusions regarding the role of negative affect inertia in the prediction of depressive symptoms.

Authors: Gautam Roshani , Shrestha Rejina
Published: July 2023

Low back pain is a major health problem because of its high pre valence and has a consequence for disability and burden in the use of health services. It has a great impact on an individual’s economic productivity and quality of life. Motorbike riders are the vulnerable population for musculoskeletal disorders including low back pain. The objective of the study was to find out the prevalence and risk factors for low back pain among motorbike riders in Kathmandu Valley. An analytical cross sectional study was conducted in 265 commercial motorbike riders in Kathmandu. To collect data, convenience sampling technique and face to face interview was employed by using structured interview questionnaire. Data was analyzed in IBM SPSS software. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis was calculated. The study findings demonstrated that 43.8% of the respondents had low back pain among them 31.1% experienced more than 3 episodes of pain in last year. Similarly, 38% of the respondents had low back pain in last seven days. Low back pain is associated with BMI (p = 0.004), duration of commercial motorbike rides (p = 0.000), mileage per day (p = 0.002) and total riding hour per day (p = 0.001). It is concluded that nearly half of the commercial motorbike riders had low back pain in last one year and a significant association was found between low back pain with BMI, duration of commercial motorbike riding duration, riding mileage and riding hour per day. As commercial motorbike riding is a trending business, there should be some government regulations on working hours and other safety measures for the riders.

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger is widely employed in the production of citric acid and some industrial enzymes such as phytase, glucoamylase, and glucose oxidase. Currently, several genetic modification tools have been developed and applied to this fungal species. However, the RNA silencing technique is less used for A. niger. In the present study, an RNA silencing binary vector integrated with the Gateway recombination cloning technology was evaluated in A. niger. The integration of Gateway recombination cloning technology in binary vectors for rapid generation of hairpin RNA structure allowed the assessment of inhibition of target gene expression through mRNA degradation. The RNA silencing constructs were successfully transferred into A. nigervia Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Results showed that the RNA silencing vectors were effective in downregulating the expression of the DsRed fluorescent reporter gene and the stuA regulatory gene. Interestingly, the silenced mutants of stuA exhibited a significant reduction in fungal sporulation. This finding revealed that the RNA silencing technique with the examined Gateway binary vector represents a potential genetic tool for functional studies of target genes in A. niger.

Rheopheresis and its Use in the Treatment of Diseases with Impaired Microcirculation. A Review
Authors: Paříková Alena
Published: July 2023

Rheopheresis ranks among apheretic methods. It is a selective, extra-corporeal double cascade filtration treatment. First, the plasma is separated from blood elements in extra-corporeal circulation by passing through membrane filter. The plasma is then filtrated through the second filter in order to remove proteins with a high molecular mass, e.g. lipids, fibrinogen, α2-macroglobulin, von Willebrand factor, immunoglobulin IgM. The purified plasma is then returned together with the blood elements back to the patient. The aim of the procedure is to improve the microcirculation and rheological properties of the blood. Rheopheresis is well established method for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration, acute sensorineural hearing loss, calciphylaxis, systemic sclerosis or peripheral vascular disease.
The Effect of Infill Angle and Build Orientation on the Impact Strength and Production Time of Porous Infill Structure
Authors:   Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Department, University of Surabaya, Indonesia, Wibisono Vincent
Published: July 2023

In developing a lightweight structure, the density of the structure can be reduced by converting a solid structure to a porous infill structure. Previous research has investigated that a triangular infill structure has the highest impact strength compared to other infill patterns. However, the impact strength of this structure may still be improved by adjusting other parameters without extending the production time. This research goal is to investigate the effect of the build orientation and infill angle on the impact strength and the production time of the triangular infill structure. To achieve that goal, this research uses a 3D printing process to manufacture a triangular infill structure made of Polylactic Acid. Seven levels of infill angle and two levels of build orientation are used to find the effect. In this experiment, twenty-six Charpy Impact specimens are printed using the Fused Deposition Modelling machine. Each specimen is printed according to ISO 179 standards and tested using a GT-7045 impact testing machine to measure the impact strength of the specimen. The results of this experiment indicate that the resistance of the on-edge build orientation to the impact load is better than the flat build orientation. The on-edge build orientation type requires less printing time compared to the flat build orientation type for each infill angle. The use of a 45-degree infill angle exhibits the highest impact resistance. To achieve the shortest printing time, the 0-degree infill angle is recommended.

Structural aspects in tonsillitis vs normal
Authors: Chesca A. , Sandle T. , Abdulina G.A. , Anamaria P.
Published: July 2023

The pathology of childhood occurring with increased frequency is tonsillitis. The infection affects both sexes equally, without any association with environmental factors. The symptomatology attracts attention and requires treatment by a specialized medical team. The severity of the symptoms often leads to surgery to remove these formations via a tonsillectomy. An important step in management for tonsillitis understands the microbiological and pathological aspects. After performing microscopic slides, the preparations are examined by performing microscopic analysis. The process of the permanent microscopic preparations was based on prior knowledge of the steps from the classical method, using a standard H&E staining technique. The diagnosis is established by laboratory methods, namely by the analysis of usual or specific-colored permanent mi-croscopic preparations. This paper demonstrates how histological examination can help to differentiate between healthy and infected specimens. The histopathological examination revealed chronic tonsillitis with reactive follicular hyperplasia in all pathological cases of children, useful to mention that timely histopathological investigation of the underlying tissues of the tonsils helps in the accurate indication of microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate. In this context, the histological examination also helps to differentiate colonization from tissue infiltration.
From Semi-Public Diaries to Social Networks: History and Transformations of Personal Writing
Authors: Hrudka O.
Published: July 2023

The relevance of the article. The article delves into the history and cultural significance of semi-public diaries, created with the intention of being read, and compares them to modern social networks. The topic is particularly relevant taking into account the growing popularity of social networks and the transformation of traditional cultural practices of personal writing, self-reflection and self-expression.

The purpose of the article. The purpose is to trace the history of semi-public diaries and compare their accounting-and-reflection practices with those found in social networks personal profiles, focusing on the interplay between public and private domains.

The methodology. The article utilizes a comparative analysis of diaries and social networks, examining their historical evolution and contemporary practices, and draws on existing research from cultural studies, history, and media studies.

The results. The study reveals that diaries have long been used to share individual reflections with others, making their personal writing practices similar to those of modern social network profiles. The study discovered that pre-internet era diaries and contemporary social networks have two similar intentions for personal writing: firstly, to document and reflect on personal experiences for private purposes, such as for self-reflection, life-tracking and identity formation, and secondly, to share personal ideas and experiences with others. This duality generates tension between the public and private aspects of personal writing.

The scientific novelty. The study offers a fresh perspective on the role of diaries in the cultural practice of personal writing by examining their similarities with modern social networks and emphasizing the interaction between private and public domains in documenting and reflecting on personal experiences.

The practical significance. Understanding the historical and cultural context of diaries and social networks can help individuals better appreciate the functions and potential benefits of these mediums for personal reflection and communication. The findings of this study can also inform future research into the role of personal writing in identity formation and the ways in which technology is transforming the nature of personal writing.

The conclusions. This study demonstrates the enduring relevance of accounting-and-reflection practices of personal writing in both diaries and modern social networks. Additional comparative research is required to examine the similarities and differences in topics and styles of personal writing across diaries and social networks, as well as the balance between public and private domains when using social networks for self-expression and identity formation.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the combined use of EHF-puncture and hirudotherapy (HT) in chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases in women and to substantiate the expediency of including a combination of these non-drug therapeutic factors in the combination treatment of pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID). Under observation there were 128 women aged 20 to 45 years (31.8 ± 0.41 years) with chronic adnexitis, chronic endometritis and both diseases at the stage of complete and incomplete remission. In 70.3% of patients, concomitant hormone-dependent diseases were recorded: fibromyoma of the uterine body, endometriosis and their combination. All patients were randomized into 2 groups: the main group (74 subjects) and the comparison group (54 subjects). The multimodality treatment of patients of the main group included EHF-therapy through the action upon biologically active points (BAP) and HT. The effectiveness of the treatment was assessed by the results of the analysis of the visual analogue scale of pain, bimanual and ultrasound examination data in dynamics. The combined use of EHF-puncture and hirudotherapy ensured the achievement of an analgesic effect in 82.9% of cases, an anti-inflammatory effect in 51.8% of cases, a resolving effect in 93.7% of cases, and contributed to the normalization of hemodynamics of the pelvic organs in 68.8% of cases. Under the influence of EHF-puncture and HT, the manifestations of endometriosis and fibromyoma of the uterine body decreased. The results of the study prove the clinical effectiveness of the combined use of EHF-puncture and hirudotherapy in the treatment of PID in women, including those with concomitant hormone-dependent gynecological diseases.

Chronic placental insufficiency is a serious problem for obstetricians and gynecologists worldwide, as it causes fetal hypoxia and growth retardation, and is also a risk factor for preeclampsia, which in turn negatively affects perinatal outcomes. In this regard, for proper routing and timely provision of medical care, it is necessary to competently use affordable and effective methods for diagnosing placental insufficiency. According to a number of authors, a high-risk group of pregnant women for the development of placental insufficiency can be distinguished on the basis of biochemical screening indicators of the first or second trimester, as well as Doppler ultrasound of the spiral arteries or the shape and echostructure of the placenta during ultrasound at 19–21 weeks. The aim of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of modern methods for diagnosing chronic placental insufficiency. A detailed systematic analysis of domestic and foreign literature on methods for diagnosing chronic placental insufficiency was carried out.

Introduction. In parallel with the development of modern molecular genetic diagnostics, the frequency of diagnosing rare (orphan) syndromes in patients is increasing. Previously described clinical cases with a combination of certain syndromes, at the present stage are transformed into a genetically confirmed clinical diagnosis with the possibility of using targeted pathogenetically determined therapy. Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS) is an autoinflammatory disease belonging to the group of Сryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndrome (CAPS) which has an unfavorable outcome if left untreated. Aim. To demonstrate a family clinical case of a rare autoinflammatory disease. Materials and methods. History of the disease for 4 generations of the same family, clinical and laboratory manifestations in a 7-year-old patient, genetic testing to identify Muckle-Wells syndrome. Results. A clinical, genetic examination of two children and a mother from the same family was carried out, an autoinflammatory disease belonging to the group of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes was documented, biological therapy was prescribed. Conclusion. Increasing awareness of orphan diseases at the present stage contributes to earlier diagnosis, molecular genetic testing, taking into account family history and early administration of pathogenetic therapy with the ability to prevent the development of life-threatening complications.

In this study, eighteen compressional P-wave seismic refraction profiles survey was conducted on the western side of the Gulf of Suez, Egypt, to map bedrock topography, which is vital information in foundation pole placement and design for large factory construction. The configuration of the seismic survey consists of 10 metres geophone intervals (12 and 24 channels) with a total survey length of 3150 metres survey length. The seismic compressional wave velocity distribution reveals three layers ranging from (400 to 1100 m/s), (1200 to 2000 m/s), and (2200 to 3500 m/s). According to the data, the first low-velocity layer represents unconsolidated Wadi sediments. The second layer, on the other hand, comprises consolidated Wadi sediments, while the third layer comprises fractured to intact sandstone bedrock. The thickness of the first layer is believed to be between 0.5 and 10 m, while the thickness of the second layer is between 8.5 and 25 m. Pseudo-3D model of velocity distribution was constructed, revealing the presence of several low-velocity zones at a depth ranging from 15 to 32 m. Then, the topography of the non-rippable sandstone rock mass was mapped utilizing 3-D model. Finally, the correlation between seismic refraction tomography (SRT) results and nearby well logging dataset drilled by the Egyptian Geological Survey and Mining Authority (EGSMA) matched quite well. It may be inferred that, up to a depth of 15 to 32 metres, there is a high-velocity rock layer suitable for constructing deep foundations for multiple levels of the mega factory.

Objective: One of the main problems, for patients under a mechanical ventilator, is their inability to verbally communicate. This condition can cause psychological problems; such as anxiety. Additionally, as anxiety must be treated immediately to prevent adverse effects for the patient, one effective strategy is augmentative alternative communication (AAC). Hence, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of AAC on anxiety in patients, who are on mechanical ventilators. Material and Methods: This study was pre-experimental, consisting of a one-group pre-test post-test design: conducted using consecutive sampling. The AAC was conducted using a book while the anxiety instrument was the face anxiety scale (FAS). Conducting AAC and measurements of anxiety were carried out by a research assistant. Anxiety was based on anxiety scores and physiological parameters via. Bivariate data analysis using Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test. Results: The patient’s level of anxiety before and after AAC had difference scores of 2, wherein the pre-test was moderate anxiety and the post-test after being given AAC was no anxiety. The physiological parameters, before and after AAC, did not change clinically, because they were still within normal limits. Wilcoxon Sign Rank test results (p-value=0.001) with Cramer’s v value (0.21) Conclusion: AAC has a positive effect having statistically and clinically significant changes in anxiety and has a medium effect size on anxiety level.
STABILITY OF RODS WITH INITIAL IMPERFECTIONS IN THE FORM OF ECCENTRICITY OF LOAD APPLICATION UNDER LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR CREEP CONDITIONS

Published: July 2023

Stability of a compressed rod having initial imperfections in the form of eccentricity of applied load under conditions of linear and nonlinear creep is considered. It is noted that all real elements have some initial imperfections in the form of technological deflections, eccentricities of applied loads, etc., so they begin to bulge from the very beginning of loading. Another important factor in stability theory is the consideration of material creep. In this regard, the loading process is divided into two phases: the instantaneous loading process and the creep phase under constant external load. Moreover, creep can be time-limited or unrestricted. In the paper formulas for determination of critical forces of stability loss of the rod having initial imperfections, under short-term and long-term action of load are obtained. The equation allowing to determine time of the first crack appearance is derived. Derived are equations the roots of which are loads at action of which the first cracks appear at initial moment of time and at arbitrarily long period of load action. Analysis of acting force determining the character of rod deformation is executed. From the constructed stability equation it is possible to determine the critical force corresponding to the critical length of the section with cracks. For similar problems in nonlinear formulation formulas for determining critical force and critical displacement corresponding to maximum load are obtained. For the case of long duration load the equation which establishes relationship between load and displacement is obtained. Equation for determination of critical force under prolonged action of load has been derived. It has been established that critical displacement is the same under short- and continuous action of load. It is shown that at any intermediate moment critical displacement can be achieved under load lying in certain interval. Keywords: stability, rod, initial imperfection, eccentricity, linear creep, non-linear creep, critical force, crack, critical displacement.
