Vibrio vulnificus marine pathogen detection with thin-film impedance biosensors
Authors: Pérez Roig Arnau , Ibarlucea Bergoi , Amaro Carmen , Cuniberti Gianaurelio
Published: July 2023

Vibrio vulnificus (Vv) is a marine pathogen that can cause rapid death by septicemia (vibriosis) in humans and several fish species. This pathogen is considered a biomarker of climate change, as both its presence and vibriosis incidence in coastal environments are increasing because of global warming. Currently, gold-standard methods for Vv detection are all PCR-based, requiring expensive equipment and skilled personnel, which hinders their use on a global scale. The aim of this work was to design and test a more affordable method that could be used worldwide for both vibriosis diagnosis and pathogen monitoring in water. To this end, we functionalized thin film microelectrodes with thiolated single-stranded DNA sequences complementary to the species-specific genetic marker, the gene vvha, and monitored the impedance changes upon hybridization. We tested the biosensor specificity with synthetic and natural DNA samples (from cultures of Vv and V. cholerae, a closely related species) and determined the detectable concentration range. The results obtained showed that this biosensor was specific for Vv, achieving detection down to 1 pM DNA, which corresponds approximately to 3x102 bacteria/mL. Consequently, this biosensor could be used on a global scale for vibriosis diagnostics, health risk studies and climate change monitoring, with potential application for in situ detection.

Habitation of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior in Preventing COVID-19 AT AL-Husna Marindal Islamic Boarding School
Authors: Natassa Siska Ella , Siregar Darmayanti , Armidin Ranu Putra
Published: July 2023

Clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) is essentially aimed at increasing public awareness to want to live a clean and healthy life. PHBS in educational facilities should be prioritized considering that children have returned to school during the new normal period of the corona virus (Covid-19) pandemic. According to the WHO, washing hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand rub can kill the COVID-19 virus. Good hand washing is the first line of defense against the spread of many diseases. Hand washing can help prevent the spread of illnesses ranging from the common cold to more serious infections. Prevention of coronavirus disease also comes from good immunity. In addition to adequate nutritional intake, oral health is also needed to obtain a healthy immune system. The oral cavity is a part of the body that functions as a pathway for food and drink to enter the body and plays a role in increasing immunity. On the other hand, it is also the 'entrance' for various pathogens that cause infection. Therefore, community service for children is needed in the form of habituation efforts to wash hands and brush teeth properly. The purpose of this service is to improve the health status of children by building hand washing and toothbrushing facilities as an effort to habituate clean and healthy living behavior in preventing the spread of the Covid-19 disease. It is hoped that with the dedication carried out, there will be changes in behavior and improvement of health in children at school.

Authors: Br. Ketaren Nurjama'yah , Yunilas  , Siregar Etti Sartina
Published: July 2023

Breeders experience difficulties in providing grass as animal feed due to the narrowness of grazing land and changes in the function of land where agricultural land has become oil palm plantations. Farmers only expect the grass that is under the oil palm plants. Farmers have difficulty getting grass for their livestock when there is less grass under the palm trees, especially during the dry season. It is necessary to transfer the technology of utilizing palm leaves and fronds as quality and continuously available sheep feed. This can be overcome by applying the manufacture of MOL and Amphoteric feed from palm leaves and fronds. The method applied to this service activity is the transfer of knowledge in the form of socialization activities in the form of: 1) Introduction to types of plantation and agro-industrial waste that can be used as alternative forages and concentrates, (2) Formulation of sheep feed, (3) Manufacturing technology MOL, (4) manufacture of amphoteric feed, and 5) Monitoring and assistance. Socialization is done by training and lecture methods. The lecture activity was finished, followed by a question and answer session between the participants and the speakers. The results of the farmer's activities found out how to make MOL from palm leaves and fronds which are used to manufacture amphoteric feed. The knowledge and skills possessed by these breeders are expected to overcome the difficulties of breeders in providing grass, as well as to increase the productivity of sheep.

Ethical problems are receiving a great deal of attention recently in medical community. In the school of dental community, it has been concerned with these things. This survey was conducted to find out of the school of dentisty Korean students' perceptions toward the ethical problems. Data was collected by using questionnare. We received 128 cases that senior was 61 and freshman was 67.
This collected data showed that school of dentistry students regard bribery as the most common ethical problem. Other frequently mentioned problems are treatment equality, refusal and unkindness of patient. Also, they agreed to artificial abortion in 65.6%, euthanasia in 88.8%, brain death in 90.2%, in vitro fertilization in 95.2%, and homosexuality in 56.8%. But, They disagreed to human duplication in 80.0%. School of dentistry students' perceptions was not statistically by grade. It means that school of dentistry education is far from ethics education. Therefore, school of dentistry curriculum ought to occupy a greater portion of the ethical curriculum for students. Also, Many researchers should carry out that these issues needs to be done in a more comprehensive way.
Phronesis of Doctors in Medicine
Authors: KIM Jin-Kyong
Published: July 2023

All doctors confront ethical dilemmas in the course of medical practice. The principles of medical ethics can assist doctors in making practical decisions when confronted with such dilemmas. The current medical field is subject to a scientific paradigm which sees medicine as a simple composition of scientific knowledge and techniques. Medicine under this scientific paradigm has a tendency to apply objective standards and scientific methods to all problems. From this point of view, specific experiences of individual patients are easily overlooked. However, it is also true that the personal life of each patient is an important part of medical practice along with the objective medical knowledge of doctors. Thus, the current scientific paradigm, which is too rigid to sufficiently cover these two distinct characteristics, is in need of modification.
A more practical paradigm would recognize the positive medical relationship between doctors and patients and would pursue the realization of the good of patients. Under such a paradigm, doctors would strive to reach decisions on medical treatment that serve the patient's best interests. In this respect, phronesis can be utilized to establish such a practical paradigm. Phronesis is an ethical insight, an ability to discern, in a given set of circumstances, what moral choice or course of action is most conducive bringing about the good of the individual patient. Phronesis leads doctors to make the right decision for each patient and to adopt the appropriate values and actions in various situations. A doctor trained to have phronesis will make the best decision for patients who are in extreme pain. Therefore, phronesis may be useful as a practical principle of medical practice applicable to various problems that cannot be solved only with the objective principles of the scientific paradigm.
Suicide as "Thingified" Death
Authors: YANG Jae-Sub , KOO Mi-Jung
Published: July 2023

This article examines the issue of suicide in South Korea, where the overall suicide rate has increased significantly since 1997. In 2004 South Korea had the highest suicide rate among all OECD countries. The article begins with a definition of suicide as "thingified" death. Suicide is "thingified" death insofar as the agent is deprived of the possibility of a good death or the right to die with dignity. The article presents a description and analysis of typical cases of suicide in South Korea. After considering the biological, psychological, and sociological aspects of suicide, the article provides theological and ethical analyses of suicide. The Old Testament story of Job is introduced as a theological model of enduring life no matter how much suffering it involves. Finally, the article evaluates the notion of ownership of life, individual autonomy, and the freedom to kill ourselves in light of Eastern philosophical and religious traditions.
Medical Ethics and the New Science of Moral Cognition
Authors: McGuire John Michael
Published: July 2023

This article provides a brief overview of some of the recent developments in the new science of moral cognition and examines what relevance they might have for the field of medical ethics. Included here are descriptions of Mikhail and Hauser’s work on a universal moral grammar (UMG), Greene’s fMRI studies of emotional engagement in moral judgment, and Haidt’s crosscultural research on the psychological foundations of morality. It is argued that recent research results in these and other areas exposes a gap between medical ethics and common morality, between some of the methodologies and results of medical ethics on the one hand and the moral judgments and values of ordinary people on the other. This disconnect is explained, in part, in terms of a misunderstanding or misuse of the naturalistic fallacy, which serves to insulate medical ethics from advances in the scientific understanding of morality.
A Study on Policy Measures for Non-compliance with Institutional Bioethics Committees
Authors: Chung Eunjoo , Baik Sujin
Published: July 2023

Since 2013, with the expansion of Institutional Bioethics Committees (IBCs), the ethical review and management of research on human subjects has greatly increased throughout South Korea. During this same time, a number of ethical lapses, including certain researchers failing to comply fully with the law or making false statements on their IBC applications, have attracted media attention. Although these scandals have helped to highlight the importance of ethical guidelines in research on human subjects, they have been quickly forgotten and have not led to any lasting changes or solutions. In order to prevent these incidents from occurring, new policy proposals are needed. Among these should be a plan to improve the IBC review/approval process in order to ensure that all research-related activities, from the beginning to the end of the research cycle, follow proper guidelines. Toward that goal, this article examines, and makes recommendations concerning the IBC review/approval process, which is the starting point of responsible research. Th article examines the purpose and limitations of the Bioethics and Safety Act, reviews domestic and foreign laws and policies on IBC review duties, with a focus on 45CFR46 in the US, and fi suggests measures that could be adopted to better manage IBC non-compliance in Korea. On this last point, this article makes three recommendations: (1) a preventative measure for strengthening IBC education and related capacities through an IBC governance organization; (2) a measure to link and activate existing policies for research funding at academic institutions; and (3) a measure for registering and sharing research and IBC approval information.

Why the Korean Law that Prohibits Fetal Sex Prediction Must be Abolished
Authors: JUNG Chang-Whan , CHOI Kyu-Jin
Published: July 2023

South Korea’s Medical Service Act of 1987 prohibits medical personnel from conducting diagnostic tests on pregnant woman for the purpose of predicting the sex of the fetus. This provision of the Medical Service Act was originally adopted to prevent sex-specific births and a gender imbalance in Korea, given the preference for sons that was common in Korean society at that time. Since it was first enacted, the contents and related penalties for this law have been revised. As of 2016, medical personnel who attempt fetal sex prediction before 32 weeks gestation are subject to having their license suspended for one year and being imprisoned for up to two years. Within the past decade, gains in women’s socioeconomic status in Korea have decreased or eliminated the long-standing cultural preference for sons. As a result, artificial interventions for the purpose of sex-specific births have almost disappeared. In a survey conducted in 2018, 97.7% of cases artificial abortion were performed in cases under 16 weeks gestation, when the sex of the fetus was unknown. In the case of genetic diseases, such as X chromosome-related diseases, it is medically necessary to determine the sex of the fetus. In the current context, in which the crime of abortion has been abolished in Korea, the remaining prohibition on fetal sex prediction is irrational. This article argues for abolishing Korea’s prohibition on fetal sex prediction both because there are legitimate medical needs for determining the sex of a fetus and because the original purpose of the law no longer exists, given the significant social changes that have taken place in Korean society since 1987.
Multiple Channel Network Scheme employing Hybrid FSO and NB-PLC for smart city environment
Authors: Sharma Ashish , Huilgol Pranav Santosh
Published: July 2023

The practical design of Free-space optical communication (FSOs) faces significant challenges due to atmospheric turbulence and pointing errors. To overcome these obstacles, a hybrid technology combining FSO with NB-PLC scheme has been analyzed in this paper. The study evaluates the area coverage of a hybrid model of Power Line Communication (PLC) and Free Space Optical Communication (FSO) by measuring the Successful Transmission Probability (STP) and probability of error. The analysis assumes that the PLC channel undergoes Rayleigh fading, while FSO links are modeled using the Gamma?Gamma distribution. An algorithm is used to weigh each link by its Successful Transmission Probability (STP) and select the best possible path using the Single Channel Selection scheme (SCS). The Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrate that the pro?posed system is highly advantageous in smart city environments where channel fading is dynamic.

DIGITAL PAYMENT TRANSFORMATION: THE ROLE OF THE TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL TO REPURCHASE INTENTION
Authors: Sutrisno Timotius F.C.W.
Published: July 2023

Changes in the interaction between humans and technology have begun. The existence of technological developments cannot be separated from changes in the pattern of public transactions, which were initially traditional systems into digital systems. This research looks at the factors influencing user repurchase intentions, such as TAM factors and technology attributes, which are very important. This is quantitative research using SEM-PLS. The results showed that the variable Trust mediates the relationship between Security and Privacy Concerns on Repurchase Intention. E-Satisfaction mediates the relationship between Ease of Use, Security, and Privacy Concerns on Repurchase Intention. This research is a form of development of the TAM, which was carried out in Surabaya, so it does not reach all parts of Indonesia. This is because digital payments have not been used evenly, so the results obtained have not projected the acceptance behavior of the Indonesian people as a whole.
Pallet loading optimization considering storage time and relative humidity
Authors: Almasarwah Najat , Abdelall Esraa , Suer Gursel , Egilmez Gokhan , Singh Manjeet , Ramadan Saleem
Published: July 2023

Purpose: This paper studies a 3-dimensional pallet loading problem considering interlock stacking pattern, box dimensions, humidity, and storage time, where overlapping and overhanging are not allowed. Despite the importance of this problem in the literature, our work provides the first method that considers the environmental conditions such as 1) storage time and 2) humidity, and their tremendous impacts on the strength of the boxes, as has been observed widely in the DHL supply chain.Design/methodology/approach: This paper proposes a two-phase heuristic algorithm to solve a 3-dimensional pallet loading problem under real conditions (relative humidity, and storage time) considering interlock stacking patterns, where overlapping and overhanging are not allowed. In phase 1, the horizontal layer configuration is determined by block techniques. Three types of horizontal layers are created based on box dimensions perpendicular to the base. In phase 2, a novel mathematical model is propounded to improve the pallet volume utilization, and stability considering the pallet's maximum allowable height and weight, and the dynamic compression strength of boxes. The dynamic compression strength of boxes is calculated by the modified McKee formula. Two performance measures, pallet volume utilization and stability (load height), are utilized to evaluate the performance of the proposed heuristic algorithm in real-world instances (DHL Supply Chain). Findings: The results illustrated that the dynamic compression strength of boxes decreases as the relative humidity and storage time increase. The load height changes dynamically along with box dimensions, box alignment, direction, relative humidity, and storage time. Increasing relative humidity and storage time and applying an interlock stacking pattern reduce the pallet utilization, however, enhance the pallet stability. Finally, the proposed heuristic algorithm's efficacy increases as the identical boxes dimensions' heterogeneity increases.Originality/value: It is believed in the supply chain where these characteristics are observed, the implementation of the heuristic algorithm will help them improve the pallet volume utilization and stability.

Authors: Kumar Prashant , Kumari Pooja
Published: July 2023

The solid pseudopapillary tumor is a rare pancreatic neoplasm with many pseudonyms of uncertain to low malignant potential and predominant in young women under the age group of 20-36 years. This study was aimed to study of four such cases diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in 2021-22 and its correlation with cytohistology. The image-guided FNAS was performed in these four patients prior to operation and later cytomorphological findings were evaluated by alcohol-fixed smears stained with Papanicolaou stain and diagnosis were made. Diagnosis were later confirmed by histology in the study which showed characteristic cytological features such as hypercellular smears with presence of abundant delicate papillary fragments, non-cohesive cells, heterogenic tumor cells with delicate folded nuclear membranes, and foamy macrophages in the background. Preoperative correct diagnosis of solid pseudopapillary tumor of pancreas is possible on FNAC and by doing so it helps in management of this surgically curable neoplasm.

Nowadays, the aging of the population is intensifying. Maintaining the physical and mental health of the elderly is conducive to the steady development of the country. In reality, when the only child goes out to work, the empty nesters are left unaccompanied. Older people have no outlet for emotional release because of their narrow social circle and inability to operate high-tech electronics. In the long run, this will lead to severe psychological depression and other problems in the elderly. Therefore, we should construct a mental health service system for the elderly in the community and put the development of the elderly's mental health first. In addition, by screening the mental health of the elderly, the service team of mental health consultation and treatment institutions will be comprehensively improved, and more safeguard measures will be provided to solve the aging of the population.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyajikan hasil implementasi pengembangan model klaster sapi berbasis zonasi ekonomi, sosial budaya dan pariwisata dalam mendukung Sistem Inovasi Daerah (SIDa) Provinsi Jawa Timur. Sebagai tindak lanjut ujicoba prototipa model yang sudah dirumuskan pada tahap pertama Tahun 2018 berupa model hilirisasi klaster sapi pada kutub pertumbuhan Wilayah Pengembangan II Provinsi Jatim bagian tengah meliputi; Kabupaten Malang, Pasuruan, Probolinggo, dan Kabupaten Lumajang. Metode penelitian menggunakan penelitian deskriptif, eksporatif, melalui uji factor dalam memetakan kerangka kawasan, kemudian dikroscek dengan hasil survei dan data sekunder, serta diferifikasi melalui FGD. Pada tahap implementasi pengembangan model klaster sapi ditemukan beberapa factor penting diantaranya: pengembangan model klaster sapi harus memperhatikan proses hilirisasi, kondisi sosial budaya para peternak, kelembagaan koperasi yang sehat, kebijakan pemerintah yang melindungi faktor-faktor produksi peternakan dan produk komplementer yang terkait yaitu ketersediaan bibit ternak, produk agribis lainnya, luasan lahan hijauan, teknologi olahan, kebijakan pendanaan, dan proteksi intervensi dari korporasi yang cenderung memonopoli dalam penentuan harga susu, serta kebijakan SIDa yang mampu mensinergikan antar sektor dan antar stakeholder melalui tim koordinasi dan dibingkai dalam kerangka kawasan inovatif yang didukung oleh ruang publik kreatif, terkonsep dan terintegrasi sejalan dengan RPJMD, RPJBD, dan ditindaklanjuti dalam program-program kegiatan yang tertuang dalam APBD secara terpadu, untuk menjamin terbangunnya hilirisasi klaster industry dan proses aglomerasi daya saing daerah.
An Orthogonal Polynomial Based Iterative Procedure for Finding the Root of the Equation f (x) = 0
Authors: Mamadu E. J.
Published: July 2023

Iterative methods provide hope for many nonlinear engineering problems that cannot be solved through analytic procedures. In this article, orthogonal polynomial based iterative schemes are developed for the approximate solutions of nonlinear algebraic and transcendental equations. Basically, Mamadu-Njoseh orthogonal polynomials are employed as basis functions to derive the new iterative schemes called the “Mamadu \(\Delta\) 2 and \(\Delta\) 3 iterative schemes”. Convergence analysis of the schemes shows the convergence rate as of order 3 and 4, respectively. Numerical experimental of the new schemes show the feasibility and correctness of the method.
ANÁLISE DE FUSÕES MUNICIPAIS NO ESTADO DO RIO GRANDE DO SUL: AVALIAÇÃO DA EFICIÊNCIA ECONÔMICA DOS MUNICÍPIOS POR MEIO DA ANÁLISE POR ENVOLTÓRIA DE DADOS (DEA)

O estudo objetiva analisar como fusões municipais no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS) podem impactar positivamente no grau de eficiência econômica dos municípios. A pesquisa dispõe de abordagem quantitativa, descritiva e documental. Para tanto utilizou-se a Análise por Envoltória de Dados (DEA) para mensurar a eficiência econômica dos municípios por meio de variáveis de entrada e de saída extraídas do sítio eletrônico do Tribunal de Contas do Estado do RS, do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística e da Secretaria do Tesouro Nacional. Os dados coletados evidenciaram que os micros e pequenos municípios tendem a depender financeiramente da União e do Estado, possuindo receita própria irrisória. Após a primeira aplicação do modelo, foram selecionados os municípios com eficiência econômica abaixo da média do estado, os quais em sua maioria possuíam até 15 mil habitantes.

Posteriormente foi realizada uma proposta de fusão municipal reduzindo os municípios selecionados de 208 para 45, novamente analisados através do modelo selecionado. Após nova aplicação do modelo, foi constatado o aumento do grau de eficiência dos municípios. Ademais, as fusões analisadas suprimiriam o número de micro e pequenos municípios em cerca de 52%, além de reduzir 1.377 vereadores, gerando uma economia de aproximadamente 58 milhões de reais aos cofres públicos. A partir da crise financeira dos municípios brasileiros que tem sido amplamente noticiada, o estudo contribui gerando discussões acerca de medidas como fusões municipais que visam aumentar a eficiência econômica dos municípios.
Associação entre a Adoção do Target Costing e as Características do Relacionamento entre empresas adotantes e seus parceiros de negócios

Published: July 2023

O acirramento da competição fez com que as empresas assumissem um foco externo a fim de maximizar sua vantagem competitiva, cujo contexto favoreceu o surgimento da gestão de custos interorganizacionais (GCI), que é decorrente da relação comercial entre duas ou mais empresas. O target costing é o principal mecanismo da GCI. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar de que maneira a adoção do target costing está associada às características referentes ao relacionamento entre empresas adotantes e seus parceiros de negócios. O setor escolhido para aplicação deste estudo foi o setor de serviços de tecnologia da informação e comunicação (TIC) devido a sua importância para a economia brasileira. Foi realizada uma survey, com o uso de um questionário online padronizado e estruturado, com as empresas associadas à ASSESPRO (Associações das Empresas Brasileiras de Tecnologia da Informação). O teste não paramétrico Kruskal-Wallis foi utilizado na análise dos dados. Concluiu-se que relações interorganizacionais caracterizadas por aspectos da interdependência, da estabilidade, da cooperação, da confiança e dos benefícios mútuos favorecem a adoção e uso do target costing. Frequência de negociações, tempo de relacionamento, e aumento da aprendizagem organizacional exercem influência na adoção de práticas do target costing.
