Authors: Pereira Karla Raphaella Costa
Published: June 2024

Este artigo objetiva apresentar uma discussão sobre os elementos de revisão de textos que podem contribuir pedagogicamente para que autores de textos acadêmicos façam autorrevisão de seus textos. A exposição é entremeada por exemplos retirados doCurso de escrita acadêmica: aperfeiçoando seu estilo, realizado pela Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA) e pela Universidade Estadual do Ceará (UECE), em 2022. A hipótese desenvolvida foi a de que os conhecimentos sobre revisão de textos podem colaborar com a autorrevisão dos produtores de texto. Tal hipótese se confirmou na medida em que os alunos do curso realizado demonstraram desconhecer algumas especificidades da produção de textos desse domínio discursivo, bem como indicaram um aprendizado útil aprendido no curso. A pesquisa realizada foi de natureza bibliográfica, buscando colaborar com um problema real percebido no contexto da prática docente universitária. Como possibilidade de intervenção, os resultados apontam dois caminhos: por um lado, as mudanças individuais nas disciplinas curriculares da graduação ao inserir alguns dos conteúdos do trabalho do revisor de textos em suas ementas para que os alunos se tornem mais competentes no trato com os próprios textos; por outro lado, mudanças estruturais profundas para melhoria da qualidade da educação nacional em relação as competências de produção e leitura de textos acadêmicos.

Exploring Neuropsychiatric Symptom in Post-therapy Thyroid Disorder Patients: Anxiety Level Assessment
Authors: Naznin Afroza , Yasmin Farida , Sharmin Samira , Rahman Hosne Ara
Published: June 2024

Thyroid disorders often present with an array of cognitive impairment symptoms, including dysphoria, depression, anxiety, psychosis, and apathy. While most of these problems do not impose any severe physical risk, they nonetheless significantly reduce quality of life and wellbeing. Moreover, some symptoms, like anxiety, tend to persist even after the restoration of biochemical euthyroid status. Hence, this study was designed to evaluate the level of anxiety with a structured questionnaire (the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale) in post-therapy thyroid carcinoma as well as hyperthyroidism patients. Study findings implied that most of the post-therapy patients experience only a low level of residual anxiety symptoms, which are unrelated to their initial diagnosis and biochemical thyroid status.

Published: June 2024

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is most usually found in the salivary glands, but it has also been reported in the lung, esophagus, breast, pancreas, and thyroid. MECs are considered to be low-grade carcinomas, and their occurrence in the thyroid is extremely rare. A case report of a patient with the dual pathology of a composite mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the thyroid and a papillary thyroid carcinoma is presented in this study. A 38-year-old female patient was referred to NINMAS for a 131I whole body iodine scan (DxWBS) with the complaint of big swelling on the right side of the neck and a discharging sinus. She was diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in 2001 after a total thyroidectomy. Comprehensive neck dissection on the right side with left-sided selective neck dissection was done in 2020. Histopathology revealed metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma on the left side and mucoepidermoid carcinoma on the right side. The patient did not take any RAIT. After a short period of time, the patient started developing a huge neck mass with a discharging sinus. An ultrasonogram of the mass showed a large, heterogeneous mass with microcalcification on the right side of the neck. Biochemical reports revealed a serum thyroglobulin (Tg) level of >300 ng/mL. DxWBS showed a big area of iodine concentration on the right side of the neck. Excision of mass with a skin flap was done in 2022. She received 20cGy fractions of radiotherapy at the right neck. The patient received 131I radioactive iodine therapy at 150 mCi in 2023. The patient is now very ill, with weakness of both lower limbs, blurring of vision, and a diagnosed brain metastasis as well.

Published: June 2024

Background: Menopause is a natural and unavoidable circumstance in all women.s lives. Radioiodine therapy is the most popular method of treatment for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) worldwide. Considering these two, this study was designed to evaluate the menopausal age of DTC patients after a single dose of radioiodine therapy. Patients  and  Methods: This is a retrospective study analyzed in INMAS, Mitford, Dhaka, from January 2018 to December 2019 among 225 female patients with DTC who were referred for radioiodine therapy of different doses according to their clinical state (75 mci (2.7 GBq), 100 mci (3.7 GBq), and 150 mci (5.5 GBq). Results: Among 225 patients, about 47 women (20.9%) experienced menopause after radioiodine therapy during this study period. The average age of menopause in Bangladeshi women is 46.7 years (95% CI). In this study, the mean menopausal age of the study subjects was 44.1±2.6 years. About 13 patients experienced menopause after 75 mci (2.7 GBq) radioiodine therapy with a mean age of 45.6±2.2; 28 patients had menopause after receiving 100 mci (3.7 GBq) with a mean age of 44.4±2.7; and 6 patients had menopause after receiving 150 mci (5.5 GBq) of I-131 with a mean age of 44.1±2.0. The result was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: This study reveals that the mean menopausal age of the patients after radioiodine therapy is lower than the mean menopausal age of normal Bangladeshi women.

Published: June 2024

The therapeutic approach to radioiodine-refractory advanced differentiated thyroid cancer has undergone significant advancements in recent years, leading to a paradigm shift in its management protocol. Despite being recognized for its favorable prognosis, 15.25% of cases continue to defy conventional treatment. In recent times, cancer immunotherapy has been revolutionized by the approval of immune checkpoint blockade therapies, including anti-angiogenic multi-kinase inhibitors and fusion-specific kinase inhibitors. However, none of these treatments are curative, and most patients eventually show disease progression. Therefore, contemporary research is now focused on detecting resistance mechanisms to these agents. This case report discusses the progression of a radioiodine-refractory advanced DTC patient who received conventional management followed by two multi-kinase inhibitors, Lenvatinib and Cabozanitib. Consequently, the prognosis was assessed using biochemical, genetic, and clinical findings.

Authors: Purveen Rejuana , Jabin Zeenat , Urmi Umme Salma , Roy Sutanu , Jabin Prianka , Anar Ashrafi , Konika Tasnia Kawsar
Published: June 2024

Background: Differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC) are among the most curable cancers, with a 10-year survival rate of 80.95%. These patients are treated by radio-iodine ablation (RAIA). Post-therapy whole body scan (Rx WBS) is done 5-7 days after RAIA. Diffuse hepatic uptake (DHU) in RxWBS after radioiodine remnant ablation might indicate metabolization of radioiodine-marked thyroglobulin fragments. Objective:  To analyze the diffuse hepatic uptake of 131I on a post-ablative 131I whole body scan by grading diffuse hepatic uptake and evaluating its clinical significance in the outcome of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Patients and Methods: This is a prospective cohort study conducted in the thyroid division of the National Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (NINMAS). A total of 67 low- and intermediate-risk groups of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients who were referred to the thyroid division for radio-iodine ablation after thyroidectomy were chosen for the study. Analysis of Rx WBS images was done. DTC patients were divided according to visually graded diffuse hepatic uptake or no hepatic uptake and followed up for one year. Follow-ups were done by measuring Tg and TgAb and doing high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) of the neck. One year later, a diagnostic whole-body scan was done. Outcomes were disease-free (DF) conditions, persistent disease (PD), or recurrence. Results: Out of 67 patients, low-risk DTC was diagnosed in 32 and intermediate-risk in 35 patients. No high-risk group was included in this study. Two groups of patients were created: DHU and those with no hepatic uptake. Out of them, 48 patients had DHU. These findings and clinical data were compared and analyzed using SPSS, and a significant association (P = 0.40) was found between different doses of 131I administered for ablation and DHU. Age, histopathological type, lymph node involvement, ALT level, thyroid bed uptake, and fatty liver were found to be insignificant when compared with DHU. After 1 year of follow-up, 52 (76.6%) patients were disease-free (DF), and persistence disease (PD) and recurrence were present in 10 (14.9%) and 5 (7.5%) patients, respectively. Among DF patients, DHU was present in 79.2% of patients. The comparison of DHU and the outcome of the DTC showed an insignificant p value of 0.640. Conclusion: The ablative dose of 131I greater than 100 mCi had a positive relationship with DHU, which might be due to radiolabeled hormones. There was no significant association between DHU and the uptake in the thyroid bed, Tg values, age, stage of the disease, presence of local or distant metastases, recurrence, or survival.

Refusal of Radioiodine Ablation in a Patient with Inoperable Locally Advanced Metastatic Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Case Report
Authors: Ahmed Tanvir , Begum Fatima , Ferdous Jasmin , Islam Urnas , Tushra Khadijatul , Munira Sirajum
Published: June 2024

Radioiodine ablation therapy (RAIT) with 131iodine is indicated in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), done after total or near total thyroidectomy. RAIT is administered in repeated small doses in cases of inoperable DTC, as radioiodine may cause local tissue inflammation and edema. So, in some cases where thyroid carcinoma involves important surrounding or distal vital structures like the trachea, vessels, and brain tissue, radioiodine ablation is refused to avoid potential medical hazards. In this case report, a patient with inoperable, metastatic, locally advanced thyroid carcinoma has been discussed, as we had to refuse RAIT even after referral for ablation at National Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences (NINMAS).

Authors: Adnan Sheikh Mohammad , Shefa Jannat Ara , Alam Mohammad Badrul , Sultana Nasreen
Published: June 2024

The prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) has witnessed a rapid increase globally, necessitating effective diagnostic tools for comprehensive assessment. This case report presents a three-year-old male child clinically identified with ASD, undergoing a brain perfusion scan using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Hypoperfusion, characterized by multiple focal areas of decreased radiotracer concentration, was observed in frontal lobes, left temporal lobe, right parietal, right precuneus, and both hypothalami. The application of the e-ZIS system indicated a severity of rCBF decrease in specific voxels. This case underscores the utility of radionuclide brain SPECT imaging in unveiling abnormal rCBF patterns in ASD patients. Establishing a correlation between these abnormalities and symptom profiles could enhance treatment strategies, incorporating innovative interventions and specific medications tailored to the observed abnormalities.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors of the liver. Accurate diagnosis is crucial for differentiating hemangioma from other space-occupying lesions (SOLs) as management strategies differ significantly. Though FNAC is the gold standard investigative tool for the diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma, newer modalities like 99mTc labeled RBC liver SPECT now is being emerging diagnostic tool for tailoring the treatment of the patient with hepatic hemangioma. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 99mTc labeled RBC liver SPECT over ultrasound in the definitive diagnosis of hepatic hemangiomas. Patients and Methods: A retrospective observational study of 52 patients was conducted who underwent both 99mTc labeled RBC liver SPECT scan and USG for hepatic lesion evaluation at NINMAS Dhaka from the period of 2022 to 2023. High-resolution ultrasonography was performed. Diagnostic measures, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and overall accuracy, were calculated for 99mTc labeled RBC SPECT and compared with USG. Imaging protocols, demographic data, and clinical characteristics were systematically analyzed. Results:  Among 52 patients females were predominant. Representative images highlighted the enhanced blood pool activity in hepatic hemangiomas detected by RBC liver SPECT, which demonstrated superior sensitivity (92.3%) compared to ultrasound (76.9%). The specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and overall accuracy were also higher for 99mTc labeled RBC SPECT and demonstrated significantly higher sensitivity (92.3%) compared to ultrasound (76.9%), with superior specificity, PPV, and overall accuracy. Conclusion: 99mTc labeled red blood cell liver SPECT holds a superior sensitivity and overall accuracy compared to ultrasound. It contributes to the evolving landscape of hepatic imaging and emphasizes the potential clinical utility of nuclear medicine techniques in the definitive diagnosis of hepatic lesions and also affects the clinical outcomes.

Authors: Alam Sumaiya , Parveen Rahima , Reza Sharmin , Sultana Saleha , Islam Urnas , Bailey Shamsun Nahar , Parveen Rumana , Akter Fahmoda , Islam Md Saiful , Sultana Nasreen
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Renogram findings in intermittent hydronephrosis may occur as a delayed double peak curve and can be considered as a possible fourth drainage pattern. It usually occurs 10.15 min post-diuretic injection and presents with an initially rapid tracer elimination followed by a sudden cessation of the effect or reversion to a rising curve resulting from self-obstruction of the pelviureteric junction (PUJ) by forced diuretics. This type of response is known as Homsy.s sign and is an indicator of an intermittent PUJ obstruction (PUJO). Objective: Patients with Homsy.s syndrome may easily be mistaken, and eventually an obstructive pattern is missed if the proper duration of the study is not carried out. The purpose of this study is to find out whether these are true obstructive patterns, with particular emphasis on the characteristic clinical and imaging findings in intermittent PUJO. Patients and methods: A retrospective study was conducted at NINMAS from October 2023 to January 2024 at the scintigraphy division of the National Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences. A total of eight patients with Homsy.s sign characteristics in a DTPA renogram with diuretic challenge were included in this study. Clinical H/O and other interventions were evaluated. Results: Among 8 patients, 6 (75%) were children and 2 (25%) were adults. There was an equal male-female distribution. Serum creatinine level was within the normal limit in six patients (75%), and elevated in two patients (25%). USG of renal system revealed mild HDN with PUJO in 03 (37.5%) patients, moderate HDN with PUJO in 02 (25%), gross HDN with PUJO in 1 (12.5%), extra renal pelvis in 01 (12.5%), and normal findings in 01 (12.5%) patients. Baseline diuretic DTPA renograms showed bilateral Homsy.s sign in 1 and unilateral in 7 patients. Among 7 patients, 6 positive Homsy.s signs were in the right kidney and 01 in the left kidney. Normal parenchymal function was found in 07, and mild parenchymal impairment was found in 02 affected patients. Conclusion: Surgical treatment is recommended for intermittent types of PUJO, as eventually it leads to frank obstruction and impairment of renal function. To confirm diagnosis, the F-15 diuretic protocol is recommended, where the maximum diuretic effect can result in either an obstructive or non-obstructive pattern of the curve.

Published: June 2024

Background:  In an effort to improve Bangladesh’s molecular imaging capabilities, the Institute of Nuclear Medical Physics (INMP), Savar, which is governed by the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC), inaugurated its first FDG PET CT scan in September 2018. We will take a look at the first five years of FDG PET CT services provided to cancer patients at INMP in this article. Patients and Methods: The patients were advised to fast overnight before the day of the scan. A whole-body PET-CT scan was acquired with Philips 128-slice Ingenuity TF, one hour after intravenous injection of 18F FDG. Patients who had undergone FDG PET CT scans at INMP, Savar, from September 2018 to December 2023 were retrospectively included, and INMP report databases were reviewed for demographic analyses. Results: A total of 2879 patients underwent FDG PET CT scans for various clinical oncological and non-oncological indications from September 2018 to December 2023. In 2018, a total of 27 patients were scanned in the first year of the inauguration of FDG PET CT at INMP, Savar. Thereafter, 332 in 2019, 469 in 2020, 399 in 2021, 716 in 2022, and 936 in 2023 were scanned subsequently. A total of 12 patients underwent PET-CT scans for non-oncological indications; among them, tuberculosis was 75%. The top five most common primary malignancies were lymphoma (26.4%), carcinoma breast (21%), gastrointestinal carcinoma (9.6%), carcinoma lung (8.8%), and carcinoma ovary (4.6%). Among 762 lymphoma patients, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was 58.5%. The majority of patients were more than 61 years of age, with male predominance (52%). The percentage of DM was 34.0%, and dyslipidemia was 27%. Among 980 diabetic cancer patients, 78 had fasting hyperglycemia and required insulin injections before a PET-CT scan. Conclusions: Despite the COVID-19 pandemic and initial uncertainty about FDG availability, there has been a notable increase in FDG PET-CT scanning in INMP from 2018 to 2023. This considerable upsurge is extremely rewarding and plays a critical role in cancer management nationally.

SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in the Diagnosis of Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy- Case Series and Literature Review
Authors: Quddus Sharmin , Mandal Tapati , Reza Sharmin , Sultana Nasreen , Parveen Rahima , Islam Urnus , Sultana Sadia
Published: June 2024

Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is a subtype of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in which hypertrophy mostly affects the apex of the left ventricle, resulting in mid-ventricular obstruction. The diagnosis is usually made when the LV apex has an apical wall thickness of ≥ 15 mm in echocardiography, though sometimes it is missed due to the poor acoustic window in two-dimensional echocardiography. Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography-Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (SPECT-MPI) can often detect apical hypertrophy. The apical hypertrophy was identified by SPECT-MPI in the reported three cases, which were not previously diagnosed by echocardiography.

Published: June 2024

Purpose:  The  primary objectives of this study were threefold: first, to  comprehensively  assess radiation  exposure  levels within  the  Nuclear  Medicine (NM) institution; second, to identify and address potential risks  associated with diagnostic and therapeutic  procedures; and third, to  establish strong control measures and emergency response  plans.  These  goals collectively aim to contribute to the creation of a  personalized  radiation protection program that addresses the unique issues provided by  NM applications. Materials and Methods: Radiation doses were computed over a six-month  period using survey meter data gathered three times each day.  Measurements were carried out in ionization chambers using radiation's  ionizing  properties. Continuous radiation surveys used digital survey  meters in  designated regions,  which  were  classified according to  dose  rates, with a focus on monitoring doses from radiopharmaceuticals such as  131I and 99mTc. Results:  Continuous radiation surveys over six months identified  maximum values in specific areas within the institution, such as the SPECT  room and therapy patient room, all below the allowable limit. This ensured  the safety of personnel and patients while maintaining ambient radiation  levels outside the institution consistently below the permissible limit. Conclusion:  This study  provided essential data for establishing a dose  reduction strategy in a clinical NM facility, confirming INMAS Bogura as  free from radiation-induced risks and emphasizing the importance of  continuous evaluation, adherence to regulations, and long-term monitoring  to ensure safe radiological working conditions.

Published: June 2024

Mislabeling of Juvenile hilsa, (Tenualosa spp.) or Jatka fish as Chapila (Gudusia chapra) is a recognized problem in Bangladesh resulting in fraudulence to consumers, illegal harvesting, and ultimately the degradation of hilsa fish production. We applied DNA barcoding using mitochondrial COX 1 gene together with morphometric analysis to resolve the mislabeling or misidentification of Clupeid fishes differentiating mainly hilsa fish from chapila fish. This study confirmed the identification of Jatka fish (Tenualosa sp.) that was mislabeled with chapila (Gudusia chapra). DNA barcoding identified the four species of clupeid fishes (Tenualosa ilisha, Gudusia chapra, Sardinella jussieu and Tenualosa toli) with phylogenetic placement. These cases may reflect a clear picture of admixture of locally sold mislabeled Jatka, which may warrant more comprehensive analyses. Mislabeling records of Juvenile hilsa established in the present study may also have implications for the harvesting, marketing and consumption the national fish of Bangladesh.

Published: June 2024

This essay documents and reflects on a complex of social practice art actions addressing hunger that the authors, who work under the name Spatula&Barcode, undertook in the Philippines in 2022 in collaboration with Jazmin Llana. The article gives background on Spatula&Barcode’s prior work with food, art, and performance and their prior engagement with hunger as a theme, then describes several exploratory actions and two larger-scale community-based projects. The theoretical section takes up themes of agency, sovereignty, and hospitality as ethical concerns in both hunger action more broadly and in the possible role of artists in enhancing that work. The essay concludes with a discussion of the “lagniappe”—something extra, above and beyond the necessary—and the symbolism of the ampersand in the artists’ thinking about their work.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of project-based learning models on students' learning activities and outcomes. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The study was conducted from July to August 2022 at SMA Negeri 12 Makassar. The population consisted of 10th-grade students in the science program, totaling 7 classes. Random sampling selected X MIA 4 as the experimental group and X MIA 2 as the control group. Observational sheets were used to monitor student activities, while test instruments were used to assess student learning outcomes. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistical analysis through Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 23.0. Analysis of pretest and posttest scores from the experimental group, comprising 34 students, revealed that 5 students achieved a score in the 'very good' category and 9 students in the 'good' category. In contrast, the control group did not have any students in the 'very good' category; only 3 students were in the 'good' category. Observational results from three observers in the experimental group indicated that 96.73% of students were 'highly active', whereas in the control group, 67.07% were 'sufficiently active'. In conclusion, the research findings suggest that the project-based learning model influences students' learning activities and outcomes.

Published: June 2024

This research article will present findings from an intertextual study of EU member states' Diversity Charter (DC) initiatives. With the aid of thematic analysis, we undertook this intertextual analysis of DCs to study and compare their content. We also consider the political and social context in which the DCs operate. In this regard, the research also evaluates how principles set by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights are enacted in law by member states and why there is a need for expanding human rights guarantees with initiatives like the DC. Our findings conclude with five points about the current state of DC initiatives in EU member states. Furthermore, based on the findings and our professional experience, we note the critical areas of improvement that can be made to the existing DC. The article concludes with our proposal for developing the Reflective Realignment Approach to help companies create a more inclusive work environment.
Context of Saudi Arabia: Does Education Influence Effective Communication amongst Individuals?
Authors: Abed Lowai G.
Published: June 2024

Education is critical for learning how to communicate with others. Through formal schooling, people learn the language (how to read and write) and interact with others in the same setting. One of the study's assumptions is that well-educated people communicate well, leading to better jobs and higher income. Another assumption is that communication skills improve with age due to the practicality of employing what has been taught on a daily basis, especially among professionals. An experienced medical doctor, journalist, or educator has enhanced communication skills compared to entrants within the same profession. Also, people with any formal career in the sector have better communication skills than illiterate individuals or those with elementary-level education. In Addition, the chance to apply one's skills can make a difference in people's communication skills in varying careers. For these reasons, respondents' level of education was analyzed with monthly income and work sector. The chi-square test was applied, and it was found that there is a significant relationship between the level of education and monthly income and age group but now work sector. One possible reason for the latter finding is that respondents' careers and professions were not specified. Despite these findings, there are variables to consider among individuals when assessing their education and communication skills such as their experience and whether they are self-taught.
Pell Collocation Approach for the Nonlinear Pantograph Differential Equations
Authors: Albayrak Pınar
Published: June 2024

Pantograph equations, which we encounter in the branches of pure and applied mathematics such as electrodynamics, control systems and quantum mechanics, are essentially a particular form of the functional differential equations characterized with proportional delays. This study focuses on exploring the approximate solution to the Pantograph differential equation. Since there is no analytic solutions for this equation class, only the approximate solutions can be obtain. For this purpose, Pell Collocation Method which is one of the numerical solution methods is chosen. As the result of applying the method to the equation, an algebraic equation system has been gained and then the approximate solution has been found by using MATHEMATICA via the given initial conditions. The method is applied to the some test examples and then the results are presented by both graphically and by table. The error estimations show that the method works accurately and efficiently.

Media pembelajaran merupakan salah satu aspek yang menetukan kualitas pendidikan. Bagi daerah perkotaan, media pembelajaran digital mudah dijangkau dan beragam. Namun, bagi daerah yang masih terbelakang, hal ini cukup sulit untuk diakses. Metode pembelajaran hibrid dapat menjadi salah satu pilihan bagi sekolah saat ini dikarenakan dapat memberikan pengaruh positif yaitu siswa dapat terlatih belajar secara mandiri namun juga tetap mendapat pelajaran secara luring. Namun, untuk daerah yang belum terjangkau internet, pembelajaran hibrid masih terbilang sulit untuk diterapkan, maka dari itu diperlukan jaringan intranet yang dapat diakses siswa maupun guru tanpa adanya jaringan internet. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu membuat server pembelajaran dengan memanfaatkan sistem Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) berbasis Web Server. Konten yang disajikan dalam website ini dikemas dalam bentuk video dan latihan soal, serta antar siswa dengan guru dapat berkomunikasi menggunakan fitur komentar yang disediakan. Perancangan sistem menggunakan metode penelitian pengembangan dan pembuatan. Pengujian performa layanan dilaksanakan dengan menguji Quality of Service (QoS) meliputi Delay, Jitter, Throughput, dan Packet Loss. Analisa performa jaringan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan website dalam mengirim dan menerima data kepada pengguna saat diakses.
ABSTRACT Learning media is one aspect that determines the quality of education. For urban areas, digital learning media is easy to reach and diverse. However, for underdeveloped areas, this is quite difficult to access. The hybrid learning method can be an option for schools at this time because it can have a positive influence, namely that students can be trained to learn independently but also still receive lessons offline. However, for areas that do not have internet access, hybrid learning is still difficult to implement, therefore an intranet network is needed that can be accessed by students and teachers without an internet network. The aim of this research is to create a learning server by utilizing a Web Server-based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system. The content presented on this website is packaged in the form of videos and practice questions, and students and teachers can communicate using the comments feature provided. System design uses development and manufacturing research methods. Service performance testing is carried out by testing Quality of Service (QoS) including Delay, Jitter, Throughput and Packet Loss. This network performance analysis aims to determine the website's ability to send and receive data to users when accessed.
