Large-scale fabrication of thulium iron garnet (TmIG) films on gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrates, with a total area of 25 cm2, has been demonstrated by rotating substrate holders during on-axis sputtering. By optimizing the growth parameters based on the pressure and flow rate of the oxygen ratio, a Tm/Fe ratio of 0.65 was obtained, which is close to the stoichiometry of TmIG. The increase in post-annealing temperature has induced the growth of the TmIG structure by the strain of the lattice constant mechanism. At the highest post-annealing temperature, the crystal structure of TmIG (444) and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) were obtained. This result demonstrates the potential method for large-scale fabrication of TmIG film with PMA.

Published: June 2024

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is widely recognized as the preferred method for treating gallstone disease. However, like any surgical procedure involving anesthesia, it carries the risk of postoperative complications, including common side effects such as vomiting and nausea. As a result, acupressure treatments targeting the pericardium 6 (P6) point have gained attention in alleviating nausea and vomiting. This non-invasive massage technique has been emphasized by the World Health Organization (WHO) due to its significance.Objectives: The main purpose of this study is to assess the impact of acupressure treatment at the wristband point (P6) on nausea and vomiting experienced by patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Method: A quasi-experimental study was conducted at Safer Al Imam Al Hussein Surgical Hospital in Karbala Holy City. Sixty patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were divided into two groups: 30 patients in the intervention group received acupressure techniques using an elastic wristband postoperatively, which was removed after six hours, while 30 patients in the control group received routine conventional care. Descriptive analysis (e.g., frequency, percentage, and mean score) and inferential analysis (e.g., one-way ANOVA test, independent sample t-test) were employed to examine and measure the study outcomes. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The mean score for nausea and vomiting in the intervention group decreased significantly from 1.97 ± 0.183 before the intervention to 1.13 ± 0.354 after implementing the intervention (p-value = 0.000). In contrast, the control group did not experience any improvement in their symptoms, with their condition worsening significantly.Conclusion: Patients experiencing nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery may benefit from the non-invasive treatment of wristband acupressure.

The aim of this research is to analyze law enforcement regarding the criminal act of illegal work placement. The approach method used is sociological juridical. The types of data used are primary and secondary data. The research results found that Law Enforcement of the Crime of Illegal Workforce Placement has not been running optimally considering: There is still a lack of job opportunities in Indonesia, so workers are forced to choose to work abroad via Batam in order to get a decent life; Indonesia is an archipelagic country, so law enforcement in cases of illegal Indonesian Migrant Workers is quite difficult considering that a large archipelagic country like Indonesia opens up opportunities for violations to be committed; The government has not accommodated Indonesian Migrant Workers as victims of illegal Indonesian Migrant Workers, resulting in law enforcement that is beneficial for all citizens not yet being felt optimally. For this reason, the need for law enforcement related to criminal acts of illegal workforce placement requires a holistic and coordinated approach in which strengthening cooperation between related parties must be built by increasing cooperation between law enforcement agencies.

Authors: Gupta Rakhi , Malik Jitender K , Kumar Sunil , Singh Surendra Pratap , Singh Gyan , Siroliya Vinay
Published: June 2024

Background: Alopecia is a condition in which some or all of the hair from the scalp is lost. One recent preventative measure is the inhibition of the enzyme 5-α-reductase. Inhibition of the enzyme 5-α-reductase converts circulating testosterone to its more potent metabolite, dihydrotestosterone. Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peels are widely employed in industry and to treat a variety of illnesses. However, accurate identification is necessary to improve efficacy, repeatability, and quality. Pomegranate, or Punica granatum L., is a member of the Punicaceae family. It is known as "anar" or "dadima" on the Indian subcontinent. For hundreds of years, P. granatum has been used to treat conditions like peptic ulcer, dental disorders, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and numerous types of cancer. Method: Further scientific validation of the current investigation was done by computational based molecular docking study of lead molecules of P.granatum Peel against 5α-reducatase(SRD5As) enzyme. The binding was determined by the Auto Dock software utilizing a grid-based docking method. Compounds' 2D structures were constructed using the chem sketch, converted to 3D, and then energetically reduced up to an arms gradient of 0.01. (MMFF). Result: Punica found to be effective anti-alopecic agent and their lead molecules effectively binds to be target protein 5α-reducatase (SRD5As) with binding energy -7.15, -7.66 & -7.07 kcalmol-1 for Apigenin, luteolin and taxifolin respectively. Conclusion: The results demonstrated that every lead compound that was chosen for further study exhibited strong 5'-reductase (SRD5 As) inhibitory activity, hence eliciting the anti-alopecic potential.
Comparison of the Incidence of Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting between Ciprofol and Propofol in Patients Undergoing Painless Gastroscopy
Authors: Zhao Tang-yuan-meng
Published: June 2024

Background: Ciprofol is a new anaesthetic sedative drug independently developed in China, and its chemical structure is derived from the classical sedative drug Propofol. The aim of this trial was to compare the incidence of anaesthetic PONV in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy with that of Propofol, and to analyze and evaluate the antiemetic effect, one of the non-sedative effects of cyclobenzaprine, in comparison with that of Propofol.
Methods: In this trial, 112 patients undergoing elective painless gastroscopy were included and divided into two groups: Group C for Ciprofol (0.4 mg/kg of Ciprofol) and Group P for Propofol (1.5 mg/kg of Propofol). The patients were also given 7 μg/kg alfentanil. At the end of the examination and after complete awakening, the patients were discharged after observing no special conditions. The assistant physician made a telephone follow-up after 24 hours. The PONV impact scale was used as a reference, and the patients were asked whether they had developed PONV. A chi-square test was used to count the occurrence of PONV in Group C and Group P and to compare the incidence rates of the two. Statistical significance was defined by a Pearson’s chi-squared P value < 0.05.
Results: The incidence of PONV in Ciprofol (Group C) was 26%; the incidence of PONV in Propofol (Group P) was 11.3%. The Pearson’s chi-square test results of Group C and Group P = 0.042, indicating that both Ciprofol and Propofol could prevent the occurrence of PONV.
Conclusion: Both Ciprofol and Propofol can prevent PONV when used for anaesthesia in patients undergoing painless gastroscopy, with Propofol’s antiemetic effect being superior to that of Ciprofol. Propofol has a better antiemetic effect than Ciprofol, and both can be safely used for anaesthesia in patients undergoing gastroscopy.

A posição dos juristas na divisão do trabalho e suas ilusões em A Ideologia Alemã
Authors: Machado Gabriel Müller de Jesus Pinheiro
Published: June 2024

A partir das considerações de José Chasin acerca da análise imanente dos objetos, este breve artigo intenta abordar o tratamento dado por Karl Marx e Friedrich Engels aos juristas em sua obra “A Ideologia Alemã”, redigida em 1845-6. Com ênfase na configuração que a divisão do trabalho adquire na sociedade civil-burguesa, demonstra-se como a posição social e a subsequente vida prática dos juristas estão na base das ilusões nas quais os mesmo creem, sobretudo com relação à categoria da vontade e suas potencialidades. O artigo encerra suas reflexões com a exposição da perspectiva comunista de como suprimir tais ilusões, não por um combate hipostasiado das mesmas, mas pela supressão das relações materiais que necessariamente as engendram, processo este que corresponde à construção das bases reais para a existência de indivíduos multifacetados mediante a supressão da divisão do trabalho.
LABORATÓRIOS DE ENSINO DE MATEMÁTICA COMO ELEMENTO DE RETROALIMENTAÇÃO DA TRÍADE ENSINO-PESQUISA-EXTENSÃO
Authors: Godoi Maycon Cristian , Klöpsch Cristiane
Published: June 2024

O Laboratório de Ensino de Matemática é um ambiente físico que favorece o desenvolvimento de materiais e atividades para o ensino e aprendizagem da matemática. Embora já consolidado nos cursos de Licenciatura em Matemática e compondo as grades curriculares de forma implícita ou explícita, sua atuação e relações com atividades fora do contexto das instituições de ensino superior ainda é incipiente. Considerando as consequências das ações desenvolvidas no período pós-pandêmico, o aspecto físico dos laboratórios se tornou um elemento limitador naquele momento, exigindo que alguns cursos precisassem repensar seu formato, incentivando a criação de ambientes virtuais com finalidades e propostas semelhantes. Fundamentando-se metodologicamente nos princípios da pesquisa-ação, a partir da análise de experiências vivenciadas pelos autores que, este artigo busca mostrar que, além dos laboratórios físicos e virtuais terem um potencial de complementaridade, ao serem associados às ações extensionistas, possuem uma possibilidade de fortalecer a aproximação dos mesmos à Educação Básica. Por fim, são realizadas reflexões que indicam que os projetos de extensão envolvendo a comunidade escolar e esses ambientes podem gerar um processo de retroalimentação entre os eixos de ensino, pesquisa e extensão que fortalecem os princípios das ações desenvolvidas em cursos de Licenciatura em Matemática.

Unsur didaktik, iaitu unsur pengajaran ialah ciri utama dalam cerita kanak-kanak. Bermula daripada tradisi penyampaian cerita dalam bentuk lisan, cerita kanak-kanak digunakan untuk menyampaikan pelbagai pengajaran, terutamanya yang berkaitan dengan nilai dan moral yang seiring dengan norma masyarakat. Cerita ini disampaikan dalam bentuk yang mudah difahami dan sesuai dengan tahap pengetahuan dan kebolehan kanak-kanak yang masih berkembang. Sehubungan dengan itu, apabila cerita kanak-kanak diterjemahkan daripada bahasa asing kepada bahasa sasaran, perkara ini juga perlu dipertimbangkan oleh penterjemah. Elemen asing yang tidak dikenali boleh membantutkan minat dan pemahaman kanak-kanak. Walaupun strategi terjemahan berorientasikan sumber mempunyai kekuatan dan manfaatnya yang tersendiri, beberapa sarjana dalam bidang penterjemahan dan kesusasteraan kanak-kanak berpendapat bahawa strategi terjemahan berorientasikan sasaran dapat menghasilkan terjemahan yang lebih dekat dan mudah dikenali oleh pembaca kanak-kanak. Oleh itu, kajian ini meneliti penterjemahan elemen khusus budaya (CSI) dalam siri cerita pendek Enid Blyton berdasarkan pengelasan kaedah terjemahan oleh Newmark (1988). Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa penterjemah cerita pendek Enid Blyton menggunakan strategi berorientasikan sasaran untuk menterjemahkan siri ini dalam bahasa Melayu.

Menerusi penggunaan strategi berorientasikan sumber, terjemahan yang dihasilkan menampilkan cerita yang berlatarbelakangkan suasana masyarakat setempat dan menepati norma masyarakat, khususnya bagi bangsa Melayu yang beragama Islam.
The Man Who Couldn't Feel
Authors: Ten Brink Joram
Published: June 2024

The thesis on the Essay Film is written from the filmmaker’s point of view, following the production of the film ‘The Man Who Couldn’t Feel’ and Other Tales, (54 min, 16mm) made over a period of four years. The film and the thesis together form the PhD submission. The aim of the study programme at the outset was to investigate non-narrative documentary cinema so as to define more closely the ‘essay’ form of documentary. Producing the film and subsequently reflecting on the film making practice and on the wider context of non-narrative structures led to the writing of this thesis. The thesis rejects the position that the essay film is a part of the documentary genre and demonstrates that the essay film is an independent genre and that owes more to avant-garde and literary essay practices than to the documentary genre. The advantage of establishing a film theory from inside the work itself, rather than bringing it in from ‘the outside’, has proved to be immense and very rewarding.
Tino Rangatiratanga: Indigenous (Māori) Sovereignty and the Messy Realities of Reconciliation Efforts at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup
Authors: Stewart-Withers Rochelle , Hapeta Jeremy , Rynne Steven , Giles Audrey
Published: June 2024

Organizers of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup event made explicit their aim to "be and do better" regarding the inclusion and representation of Indigenous peoples. This was particularly important because in seeking to jointly secure the right to host the event, both Aotearoa New Zealand
and Australia made much of including and showcasing Indigenous cultures in their respective countries. Subsequently, organizers incorporated Indigenous flags, language, and rituals throughout the event. FIFA appointed cultural advisors to enhance cultural understanding among teams. However,
the Spanish national team, "La Roja," sparked controversy by posting a video mocking the haka, "Ka Mate," a cultural treasure to Māori, the Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand. This led to public outcry, calls for apology, and efforts to reconcile relations. In this commentary,
we explore this incident, critiquing FIFA and the current state of event management regarding the inclusion of Indigeneity and engagement with Indigenous Peoples.
Long-Term Effects of Tea Consumption Habits on Cardiovascular Performance of Adolescent Population: An Observational Study of Adolescent Community in Jakarta, Indonesia
Authors: Laura Evangelia  , Lontoh Susy Olivia
Published: June 2024

Background: Tea is a popular drink that is widely consumed in Indonesia. Some studies show the potential benefits of tea on cardiovascular health, but evidence regarding long-term effects in adolescents is limited. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between tea consumption habits and cardiovascular performance in the adolescent population in Jakarta.
Methods: This prospective observational cohort study involved 1,500 adolescents aged 15-18 years in Jakarta. Data on tea consumption habits was collected through a structured questionnaire, while cardiovascular performance was measured through blood pressure tests, body mass index (BMI), and treadmill tests. Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards analyzes were used to identify the association between habitual tea consumption and cardiovascular events over a 5-year period.
Results: The results showed that regular tea consumption (≥3 cups/week) was associated with a reduced risk of hypertension (OR 0.65; 95% CI 0.48-0.88) and an increase in cardiovascular functional capacity as measured by treadmill testing (HR 0 .72; 95% CI 0.55-0.94).
Conclusion: The habit of regular tea consumption among adolescents in Jakarta is associated with a reduced risk of hypertension and improved cardiovascular performance. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore the mechanisms underlying tea's protective effects.
Reinforcing the aneurysmal aorta by additional layering: old and new strategies to prevent rupture
Authors: Chirila Traian V.
Published: June 2024

Adventitial crosslinking is a method in current investigational stage for preventing the rupture of aortic aneurysms. It is based on the photochemical crosslinking of adventitial collagen by exposure to ultraviolet A radiation. Essentially, an adventitial top layer is generated that displays enhanced mechanical properties and imparts additional strength and stiffness to the aneurysmal wall. Looking back upon the history of aortic surgery during 1940s, the aortic film wrapping, then dubbed “cellophane wrapping”, also was a procedure employed for delaying the aneurysmal rupture. In principle, the two procedures are similar in that both result in laminar composites, although the top layers differ fundamentally from each other. This review discussed in some detail the use and clinical outcomes of the aortic wrapping with artificial films, also mentioning the contemporary procedures still grouped under this umbrella term. The focus of the review was a comparative view on two procedures, the aortic film wrapping and adventitial crosslinking. It was concluded that the methods are different in many aspects, including the mechanisms of action. In fact, the promoters of adventitial crosslinking were not aware of the prior existence of aortic film wrapping. However, the achievements of the classical wrapping, by now regarded as merely historical episodes, did not discard prior knowledge, but repurposed it in a process that led to innovative strategies.
Evaluation of System Access Security in The Implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in Educational Institutions
Authors: Cahyaningrum Yuniana
Published: June 2024

Information systems in educational institutions have the potential to be targeted by various parties, especially unauthorized parties, so they require a higher layer of security to protect sensitive data and secure user access. One solution that can be implemented is the implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), a security approach that utilizes more than one authentication method to secure access to the system. MFA is a security method that requires more than one way to verify a user's identity when accessing a system, application, or service that aims to increase security by adding an additional layer of protection beyond using a single passphrase or password. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of implementing MFA in the context of system access security in educational environments. The research methodology involves surveying system users, statistical analysis, and monitoring access activity to assess the extent to which MFA is successful in reducing security risks and protecting sensitive information. The research results show that the use of MFA in educational institutions can significantly increase system access security. Several obstacles that arise become challenges in solving problems regarding the use of MFA. Therefore, this article also examines recommendations for increasing the implementation of MFA in educational institutions. It is hoped that this research can contribute to the positive impact of MFA in improving system access security in the context of educational institutions by optimizing information technology in protecting data integrity and user access security.

Bimbingan adalah kegiatan akademik yang terus dilangsungkan disetiap semester untuk mengarahkan mahasiswa/mahasiswi tingkat akhir yang sedang dalam tahap penyusunan tugas akhir/skripsi. Proses bimbingan yang mengharuskan dosen dan mahasiswa datang dan bertemu secara langsung dikarenakan proses bimbingan masih menerapkan metode konvensional dan manual. Hal ini menyebabkan proses bimbingan harus tersentralisasi dimana dosen dan mahasiswa bersepakat untuk bertemu di satu titik, proses perekapan hasil bimbingan yang dicatat dalam lembar kertas sangat memungkinkan sekali terjadi hilang dan membuat history bimbingan jadi tidak bisa dilacak kembali.  Pemanfaatan perkembangan teknologi informasi yang sangat pesat menjadi alternatif dimana proses bimbingan dapat diwakilkan melalui sebuah sistem yang membuat pencatatan dan perekapan terarsip dengan sangat baik didalam database. Aplikasi E-Konseling adalah hasil dari penelitian ini yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk menunjang proses bimbingan yang dirancang menggunakan bahasa pemrograman PHP salah satu pemrograman yang dirancang dalam menciptakan aplikasi atau sistem yang bisa diakses secara online.

Authors: Ridhoni Wahyu , Aufar Yazid , Aurum Emma Valensia
Published: June 2024

Link and Match antara Perguruan Tinggi Vokasi dengan Industri di Kalimantan Selatan dinilai masih jauh dari harapan. Terdapat kesenjangan karena standar capaian pembelajaran belum sesuai dengan standar yang diinginkan dari industri. Selain itu serapan lulusan untuk bekerja masih rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan membangun Platform tes lowongan kerja berbasis mobile dalam rangka mempererat sinergi antar Politeknik dengan industri di Kalimantan Selatan. Berfokus pada User Experience Design dengan membangun prototipe dan mengujinya. Perusahaan tinggal memilih program studi apa saja yang bisa mengikuti tes suatu lowongan pekerjaan dan secara langsung informasi diterima oleh masing-masing lulusan Program Studi. Platform mobile merupakan pilihan yang paling memungkinkan karena di Indonesia perangkat mobile lebih banyak digunakan. Selain itu tidak seperti website dan program desktop, pada aplikasi mobile dapat dilakukan pembatasan untuk keperluan yang spesifik agar tes berlangsung bebas dari kecurangan. User Experience Design dilaksanakan dengan kerangka kerja UXD FLIP dan menggunakan tool desain Figma. Hasil pengujian User Experience Design menunjukkan bahwa prototipe yang sudah dikembangkan telah valid dengan nilai 80,5, sehingga dinyatakan telah fix dan dapat dijadikan acuan dalam proses coding.
An Enhanced Method to Improve Proxy Mobile IPv6 Efficiency Through Software Defined Network
Authors: Krishnan Indumathi Lakshmi
Published: June 2024

This suggested method, called the Software Defined Open-Flow Mechanism of PMIPv6 (SD-PMIPv6), modifies the Proxy Mobile IPv6 protocol to match the Augmented Open-Flow architecture. The flexibility aspects of the PMIPv6 components, including the Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) and Local Mobility Anchor (LMA), are broken apart and rebuilt in order to take use of the Open-Flow strategy. The LMA components, which serve as the network's Open-Flow controller for the switches, maintain the mobile node's (MN) location. The contact access entities that are capable of managing MAG signals interact with the MN. The recommended approach has two primary objectives: (a) separating the control and data planes; and (b) shortening the handover delay.

A Research-Based Dual Enrollment Statistics Textbook
Authors: Alfaro Maria Emilia , Hicks John , Godbole Anant , Nivens Ryan
Published: June 2024

A new text titled Statistics with Technology for High School has been written and is being used for a dual enrollment high school course taught at ETSU. It is based on the analysis of data sets, small and large, in the context of key introductory statistical methods. Though there do exist Statistics books at the US high school level, ours features adherence to the Tennessee Mathematics Standards, an incorporation of Open-Source software, and a focus on key concepts. Even though Python has been implemented in schools across the globe, our approach has been to use the more appropriate R in the course. We aim to answer the following two questions: (i) Can Statistics be taught successfully in high school using open-source software that is commonly used in college and (ii) Can we move beyond TI-83's in US high schools?
When Double 38 Is Equal To 616
Authors: Brombacher Aarnout
Published: June 2024

Supposed learner errors in mathematics should instead be considered to be misconstructions by the learner of what they have experienced. Knowledge that lacks understanding results in the inability to apply that knowledge in unfamiliar situations. This, together with an incapacity to articulate what has been done throughout the solving of a problem, is learning that is of little use. This paper examines a range of mathematics classroom instances within the early school years. In it, the author will attempt to explain the learners’ actions by considering the learning opportunities they have been exposed to, the influence of curriculum (syllabus) sequencing and design, and the role of the teacher’s understanding of what it means to do mathematics. The fundamental assumption is that learners are inherently driven by the need to make sense. However, when placed in impoverished learning environments, misconstructions can take root.
Experiments in Teaching Advanced Calculus: An Early Introduction to Double Integrals
Authors: Gordon John
Published: June 2024

Traditionally, in the United States undergraduate education system, the concept of double integrals is presented after single variable integration theory is introduced through a first course in calculus (Calculus I) which is then followed by several applications of the theory in another sequential course, (Calculus II), followed by double (and triple integration) over rectangular and other regions in a Calculus III course. This paper outlines strategies for experimentation with a much earlier introduction to double integrals over rectangular regions which allows practitioners of mathematical modeling with no prior experience in advanced mathematics to quickly come up to speed.

Problem solving and problem posing are very important at all stages of mathematics education. We will give examples from (1) A graduate course on matrix theory conducted using the pedagogy of problem solving before instruction, (2) A course, problem solving, problem posing, and problem choosing, given to primary school teachers in a M.Ed program. The examples will include challenging problems given to the teachers to upgrade their mathematical thinking and their mathematical knowledge and problems that the teachers posed, by adapting the challenging problems for use in their teaching, (3) Problem solving by excellent high school students, and (4) An enrichment course, based on problem solving, for middle school students.
Analysing Marking Memorandum as an Aspect of Assessment in Mathematics Performance of South African High Schools
Authors: Mahlobo Radley K. , Sibanda Bonani , Lebelo Ramoshweu S.
Published: June 2024

The question asked here is whether the formulation of a marking memorandum may have a possible impact on the mathematics performance of the tested learners. 2021-2022 South African National Senior Certificate grade 12 mathematics Paper 2 marking memoranda were scrutinized to establish the impact on learner performance. The results of the scrutiny gave credence to the possibility of the impact. On one hand, it was found that only one answer out of a few possible solutions was given, potentially disadvantaging learners with the alternative solutions. It was also found that the examiner’s arbitrarily assigned value to a geometric side led to a wrong answer. The paper concluded that indeed the marking memorandum can have an impact on learner performance. Key words: Assessment standard setting, performance in mathematics, marking memorandum, Euclidean Geometry.
