Published: November 2024

Abstract: The most common arthritis in the hip joint is due to joint wear and tear, osteoarthritis (OA). One of the most effective types of surgery to perform on hip OA is total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to determine the functional results of total hip arthroplasty surgery in cases of hip arthritis at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado by using telemedicine. This was a descriptive study interviewing patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty in the period of January-November 2023 via video call. The Harris hip score (HHS) was measured before and after THA. The results showed that from five patients who underwent HHS evaluation before THA, all of them had poor scores (100%). Meanwhile, the HHS after THA showed that one patient had a poor score (20%), one patient had a fairly good score (20%), two patients had good scores (40%), and one patient had a very good score (20%), indicating increased HHS after THA in all patients. In conclusion, total hip arthroplasty is effective in hip arthritis patients. The telemedicine can be an alternative for evaluating patients with hip osteoarthritis after total hip arthroplasy who are difficult to be reached.

Published: November 2024

Mushrooms are a type of low-level plant that lacks chlorophyll. One of the advantages of fungi is that they are commonly utilized as food items in the community. This paper discussed the implementation of CNN for the classification of mushrooms. The project aims to develop a robust system that can automate the labor-intensive task of mushroom classification. The CNN model will be trained on a large dataset of annotated mushroom images, learning to extract meaningful features and patterns for accurate categorization. To evaluate the performance of the developed system, a comprehensive set of metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, will be used. The dataset will be split into training, validation, and testing sets to assess the model's generalization ability to unseen data. Based on the experimental result, the average accuracy rate in the Agaricus Portobello test was % -99.89 %, % -99.89 % in the Amanita Phalloides test, % -99.59 % in the Cantharellus Cibarius test, % -98.89 % in the Gyromitra Esculenta test, % -99.96 % in the Hygrocybe Conica, and % -99.93 % in the Omphalotus Orealius.

The Dynamics of Divorce in Indonesian Muslim Families
Authors: Kusmardani Alex
Published: November 2024

The development of divorce cases from year to year is very dynamic. Divorce occurs not only because of problems in the family but also because divorce is attached to the husband and wife, who are left behind due to death. Likewise, the judge's decision can affect the determination of divorce status. If the judge is unwilling or does not decide on the divorce, the marriage is not declared divorced. Therefore, divorce is defined as the breakup of the marital relationship with the judge's decision or the request of one of the parties. This article aims to find out the dynamics of divorce development in Indonesia. This research is library-based qualitative with a descriptive, critical, analytical approach and an interdisciplinary perspective, combining philosophical, psychological, sociological, juridical, and comparative methods. The results show that divorce and marriage exist in the world. In the jewish religion, divorce is permitted. In the catholic faith, divorce is prohibited, while in protestantism, it is allowed on the grounds of adultery. In islam, the majority of islamic jurists allow it and some islamic jurists ban divorce. Meanwhile, in indonesia, divorce is permitted by a court decision. Some regions with the most divorce cases are West Java, East Java, Central Java, North Sumatra, DKI Jakarta, Banten, South Sulawesi, And Riau. The factors that cause divorce are spouse conflicts, economy, leaving one party, domestic violence, drunkenness, gambling, neglect, one of them being imprisoned, adultery, polygamy, forced marriage, and disputes that lead to divorce. Efforts to prevent divorce include premarital education, family money management training, strengthening the basis of personality, family mediation, and rehabilitative assistance for divorced couples.
The Crime of Corruption in Social Assistance Funds (Bansos) Amid the Pandemic Era in Indonesia (Case Study of the Central Jakarta District Court Decision No. 29/Pid.Sus-TPK/2021/PN.JKT.PST)
Authors: Putra Abrar Jatnika , Sadino Sadino
Published: November 2024

This legal research is motivated by the existence of criminal acts of corruption in the midst of the pandemic. The first problem in this research is whether the decision is appropriate to ensnare the defendants of social assistance corruption. And secondly, how can the perpetrators get relief from the elements of accepting bullying from the community. This research uses normative juridical methods and types of library research, namely by examining various types of materials originating from several statutory regulations and books. The results obtained from this research are first, the form of applying the law to perpetrators in accordance with Article 12 letter b of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crimes as amended in Law Number 20 of 2001 on Corruption Crimes in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1 ) 1st of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code. Juliari is said to have been proven to have committed corruption in the procurement of social assistance packages for handling Covid-19 in the Jabodetabek area in 2020 worth IDR 32.48 billion. So the defendant should receive a heavier sentence than the statutory regulations. Second, apart from that, the panel of judges' decision in imposing criminal sanctions must consider mitigating and aggravating factors for the defendant. The legal considerations handed down by the judge against the defendant in this case were in line with criminal law. In connection with all the elements being fulfilled legally and convincingly according to the law, it can be concluded that the elements of criminal acts of corruption regarding social assistance are fulfilled

En la actualidad, plantear una idea de currículo que vincule o rescate la pedagogía del ser es un reto a nivel educativo, puesto que, la conceptualización y uso general del currículo radica en la mercantilización de la educación, convirtiendo la escuela en una entidad con organización “empresarial” al servicio de los fines económicos, políticos y sociales del Estado, de tal forma que podría equipararse a la escuela como fábrica, el docente como operario y el estudiante como producto. Este relato buscará plantear una propuesta curricular que tenga en cuenta la relación e interacción del sujeto, subjetividad, intersubjetividad y el contexto que producen las tecnologías de la información y comunicación. A partir de la contextualización histórica sobre el concepto de currículo se pretende teorizar y proponer una pedagogía que relacione lo individual con lo colectivo, un currículo abierto que tenga en cuenta las particularidades del sujeto y su territorio, sin pretender, de manera inapropiada, excluirse de la noción externa a la escuela.

La generación y disposición de los residuos sólidos (RS) son temas relevantes para diferentes instituciones educativas alrededor del mundo. Debido a sus actividades y servicios, las universidades concentran una gran cantidad de personas y, por ende, se generan grandes cantidades de RS. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar una caracterización de la producción y disposición de los RS en los edificios académicos de la Universidad Santiago de Cali. Para ello se aplicó un estudio cuantitativo observacional. Se observó la forma en que la comunidad universitaria dispone los residuos en los Puntos Ecológicos (PE) de tres recipientes (azul, verde y gris). Se muestrearon dos PE en el primero y último piso de los bloques 1, 2 y 6 y luego se procedió a clasificar 13 tipos de residuos por recipiente y se registró peso. Se encontró que la producción per cápita fue mayor en el mes de junio con 1399.8 g. La producción total de RS fue levemente mayor en los pisos superiores que en los inferiores. El recipiente que más desechos recibió fue el de color verde (orgánico). La generación de RS en la Universidad Santiago de Cali sigue el patrón encontrado en otros centros de estudios superiores con el papel, el plástico y el PET como los desechos más generados. La comunidad universitaria realiza una correcta disposición de los RS, 6 de cada 10 personas dispone en el recipiente que corresponde.

Authors: Gupta Parul , Dhillon Sneha
Published: November 2024

Background: In this retrospective study, we determine the clinicopathologic characteristics, prognostic factors and treatment outcomes in the
patients of non-epithelial ovarian cancers during a five year period. Method: Between the year Jan-2014 and Dec-2018, data of malignant nonepithelial ovarian cancer patients was analysed, who were treated at tertiary Cancer Centre from north india for their clinicopathologic
characteristics, management and follow-up status. Results: Twelve patients with non-epithelial ovarian cancer were analysed, amongst which
7(58%) patients had sex cord stromal tumours and 5(42%) had malignant germ cell tumours (GCTs). The median age at presentation was 55-years
(32-65) for sex cord stromal tumours and 30-years (14-35) for germ cell tumours. The patients were staged according to the FIGO ovarian cancer
staging system 2014 and majority of patients (57.1%) with sex cord stromal tumours had stage I disease. All patients with sex cord stromal tumours
and 20% with GCTs underwent non-fertility sparing surgery. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered in 29% patients with sex cord stromal
tumours and in all patients with germ cell tumours. The chemotherapy regimen used was BEP in all patients. At a median follow-up of 24-months,
none of the patients experienced recurrence. Conclusion: Non-epithelial ovarian cancers are a rare presentation. The outcomes of patients with
GCTs were good irrespective of disease stage with optimal treatment. Sex cord stromal tumours are more indolent with good short-term prognosis
but carry significant risks of late relapse. Platinum-based chemotherapy has shown benefits in either with manageable toxicity.

Published: November 2024

Male circumcision is a common surgical procedure performed for medical, cultural, and religious reasons. This prospective observational study,
conducted over 18 months in a tertiary care hospital, evaluated the outcomes of stapler circumcision in 54 male patients. Participants ranged in age
from 2 to 70 years, with the majority (62.96%) being under 10 years old. Indications for circumcision included phimosis (37.04%), recurrent
balanitis or balanoposthitis (31.48%), and religious reasons (25.93%). The procedure was completed under intravenous sedation and penile block,
with a mean operative time of 6 minutes. Post-operative pain was assessed using the visual analogue scale, with children experiencing moderate
pain on day 1 (mean score of 4.2) and adults reporting mild pain (mean score of 2.7), both signicantly reducing by day 7. Complications were
minimal, including minor bleeding (3.70%), urinary retention (3.70%), and edema (3.70%), with no cases of infection or stapler line disruption.
The stapler device's efciency in providing rapid, uniform closure minimized complications and reduced operative time. Overall, stapler
circumcision proved to be a safe, efcient, and well-tolerated procedure, particularly suited for low-resource settings with limited surgical
infrastructure.
BODY MASS INDEX, WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE AND BODY FAT CONTENT ASPROGNOSTIC FACTORS IN ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION: A PROSPECTIVE STUDY AT SMS MEDICAL COLLEGE JAIPUR
Authors: Lal Moond Madan , Singh Harshpal , Kumar Sharma Akhilesh , Kumar Ramesh , Bhagirath Bhagirath
Published: November 2024

Background: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), yet the prognostic role of obesity indices such as
body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and body fat content (BFC) remains debated. This study aims to compare BMI, WC, and BFC
as prognostic factors in AMI patients to determine which parameter is the best predictor of outcomes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods:
A prospective comparative study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Jaipur, India, from 2023 to 2024. A total of 400 AMI patients were
included. Data on demographics, clinical characteristics, BMI, WC, and BFC were collected. Patients were followed up for six months to assess
outcomes, including mortality, recurrent MI, heart failure, and hospital readmissions. Patients were classied based on BMI (underweight, normal,
overweight, and obese), WC, and BFC according to WHO guidelines for the Asian population. Results: The mean age of the patients was 54.2 ±
11.01 years, with 75.5% males. At six months, 9.5% of patients had died, 17% had recurrent MI, 13.5% had heart failure, and 7.5% had arrhythmias.
BMI and BFC showed a strong correlation, while WC was not as consistent in identifying obesity. Patients with higher BMI and BFC had lower
mortality, reecting the obesity paradox. Conclusion: BMI and BFC appear to correlate well in assessing obesity in AMI patients, while WC alone
may underestimate risk. The obesity paradox was observed, with obese patients showing better outcomes than their normal-weight counterparts. A
combination of BMI, WC, and BFC may provide a more accurate risk assessment for ACS prognosis.

Published: November 2024

Tongue is one of the most important organs for chewing, swallowing, and speaking. Advanced tongue cancer is a complex medical condition with
challenging oncologic management that can lead to serious treatment options. In certain cases, the best course of action may involve a glossectomy
and all of its associated complications. Following the procedure, most of the glossectomy patients appear to be reluctant to speak or take oral fluids.
The patient may also experience psychological impairment as a result. A silicone tongue prosthesis can help patients who have had a total
glossectomy by improving their swallowing and speech. Speech and swallowing are improved by palatal augmentation, which reshapes the hard
palate to improve tongue to hard palate contact and effectively enhances the patient's ability to speak and swallow, improving their quality of life.
This case report discusses detailing the prosthodontic rehabilitation of a total glossectomy dentulous patient with acrylic tongue prosthesis.
A STUDY OF LAPAROSCOPIC INTRAPERITONEAL ONLAY MESH PLUS REPAIR FOR VENTRAL HERNIA
Authors: N. Bansod Atish , Satpudke Mauktik , Sawase Niteen , Hakim Yusuf
Published: November 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh plus (IPOM plus) repair for ventral hernia.
Conducted at a tertiary care hospital between March 2022 and August 2024, it included 50 patients who underwent IPOM plus repair. The research
focused on the patients' demographic and clinical characteristics, operative details, outcomes, and complications. Among the 50 patients, most
(36%) were between 31 and 40 years old, with a female majority (64%). Primary ventral hernias were more common (70%) compared to incisional
hernias (30%). Many patients had signicant co-morbidities, with diabetes (36%) and hypertension (24%) being the most prevalent. The study also
noted that most hernias were between 2-5 cm in size. The surgical procedure had a mean operative time of 85.34 minutes, which indicates a
reasonable duration for laparoscopic intervention. Only 6% of patients experienced intraoperative complications, showcasing the safety prole of
the procedure. Postoperatively, most patients (92%) were discharged within 2-4 days, highlighting the potential for a faster recovery compared to
traditional open surgery. However, some postoperative complications were observed. About 18% of patients experienced issues such as subacute
intestinal obstruction, port site infections, and seroma formation. Despite these complications, the overall outcomes were favorable, with no
mortality reported and a low recurrence rate during the follow-up period. The study concludes that IPOM+ repair is an effective and safe technique
for ventral hernia repair. It offers several advantages, including reduced recurrence, faster recovery, and fewer complications compared to
traditional open repair methods. These results suggest that IPOM+ is a viable alternative for ventral hernia surgery, particularly for patients seeking
minimally invasive options with favorable outcomes.

Authors: Dhiman Ashish , Dash Snehangsh , Lamba Simran , Lamba Rabbab
Published: November 2024

Scrub typhus, a vector-borne disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, is known for its diverse clinical manifestations, but neurological
complications are relatively uncommon. This case report describes an unusual presentation of lateral rectus palsy, which developed several days
after the initial symptoms of scrub typhus. The patient, a 38-year-old female, presented with characteristic signs of scrub typhus, including fever,
rash, and eschar, and was treated with appropriate antibiotics. However, approximately two weeks later, she developed sudden-onset diplopia and
was diagnosed with lateral rectus palsy. Neurological evaluation and imaging studies ruled out other causes, and the temporal association with
scrub typhus suggested an indirect link. This case highlights the importance of considering delayed neurological sequelae in patients recovering
from scrub typhus and underscores the need for ongoing surveillance for such complications. Further research is warranted to elucidate the
mechanisms underlying this rare presentation and to improve clinical management strategies for affected patients

The contribution, starting from an epistemological reflection that shows the connection between the categories of quality and quantity, passing through the construct of 'measurement', illustrates the evolution of quality assurance processes over the last fifty years, up to the current models of the so-called Total Quality Management. The application of these models to formal education and training contexts, with particular attention to the fields of Higher Education, poses numerous challenges and tasks that still need to be fully embraced both at the micro level of designing third-level courses of Higher Education (research doctorates) and at the macro level of overall policies, which, if they are to be considered of quality, should be supported by the effective exercise of autonomy.

The need to combine personal and collective resources is expressed in the multiple inter-actions that occur on the educational and social levels. The roles and functions of assessment is a nodal point in support of the inclusive paradigm, first of all, is linked to the need for individual human fulfilment – that characterizes the ultimate goal of education: an education is only truly suitable for freedom if it is able to guarantee the possibility of realizing the life projects that individuals have reason to choose – secondly, it is necessary to consider the resources that students have at their disposal to achieve the learning objectives. From this perspective, human development do not end with the quantitative dimension of resources, but rather involve complex areas, related partly to social life and partly to the quality of life of individuals.

The "Health Profile" of schools promoting health represents a strategic plan aimed at integrating health promotion within the educational context. This document seeks to establish collaboration between regional authorities and educational institutions, with the goal of effectively developing, monitoring, and evaluating health promotion strategies. Through synergy between the Tuscany Region, the Local Health Companies, and the network of schools promoting health supported by the Regional Educational Office, a significant change is pursued that extends health promotion beyond the traditional health domain. The initiative encourages every school in the Tuscany Region to actively participate in the network and to adopt the health profile as part of their educational mission, thus promoting a school environment where physical and mental well-being is considered essential for the overall development of students.
Attività collaborative e tecnologie digitali per le discipline scientifiche: un approccio alla co-progettazione didattica nella scuola secondaria superiore
Authors: Roffi Alice
Published: November 2024

The paper presents the specific theoretical and methodological approach for the co-design of educational scenarios in the scientific field based on collaborative learning supported by technology. According to the Design Based Research research strategy, the teacher is involved in the research process, thus in the active planning of the path. The theoretical framework for the design of collaborative activities with digital technologies combined with the tools presented allowed the construction of two educational scenarios which were tested in the first cycle of experimentation. The co-design process structured in this way was welcomed positively by the teachers who appreciated the detailed approach, despite the demanding workload it required.
Modelli di inclusione socio-lavorativa nei soggetti vulnerabili
Authors: Ulivi Costanza
Published: November 2024

Over the last 10 years, the Region of Tuscany, through the European Social Fund - Axis B Social Inclusion and fight against poverty, has developed a process/methodology to foster autonomy and accompany to work disadvantaged people and people with disability. It implements specific actions to contrast the phenomenon of poverty and social distress by providing a series of measures to facilitate work placement of people who for different reasons are at risk of exclusion from the labor market. The approach adopted consists of an integrated methodology that sees the recipients adhere to a customized project, prepared together with the Social Services, the local Employment Centers and public and private entities active in the field of interventions to combat poverty and social exclusion. Third Sector Entities play a key role in this framework.
L’educazione incorporata nel lavoro nella transizione dalla vita lavorativa alla pensione
Authors: Banchi Cristina
Published: November 2024

The present bibliographic research, maintaining Active Ageing as a reference, identifies theories that support the extension of active life during the transition from the working life to retirement, within the paradigm of lifelong learning. The main emerged theories assert the presence of predictive factors that, by exerting a transformative action, provide evidence on the impact that exposure to non-formal and informal educational actions has on active aging. If made intentional, the pedagogical device intrinsic to work generates situated learning and can facilitate the acquisition of skills useful for managing the transition from working life to retirement.
Quali competenze dovrebbero possedere gli operatori culturali per promuovere il benessere dei pubblici e la salvaguardia dinamica dei patrimoni locali?
Authors: Marconi Sofia
Published: November 2024

In the various fields of knowledge and society, the current debate on the strategic role of culture has not yet sufficiently taken into account the educational component, i.e. the extent to which culture, and in particular cultural heritage, can implicitly and informally educate and thus act as a real tool for promoting well-being through lifelong learning, active ageing, inclusion and social cohesion. The multiple benefits of engagement with cultural heritage for groups and individuals have been documented in a number of recent studies. However, the educational function of cultural heritage still seems to be underestimated. Furthermore, it is not clear what competences cultural professionals can use to become social activists and promoters of its wise use. In this paper, we present some theoretical reflections related to the doctoral research in Experimental Pedagogy, in which we intend to reflect both on the role of cultural operators acting in the field of cultural welfare and on the importance of defining their main competences useful to effectively promote welfare processes in communities. The paper highlights the importance of pedagogical and educational reflection that can respond to new social needs through widespread and accessible cultural enjoyment.
Narrative Heroes: giocare per riscrivere il copione del bullismo e del cyberbullismo
Authors: Serritella Elena
Published: November 2024

Bullying and cyberbullying are still relevant issues of national and international concern. The literature has shown that these forms of peer violence have an important cultural basis, linked to shared social norms that are reflected in the dominant narratives of the reference group. In order to influence individual attitudes, it is therefore necessary to influence the whole community. Furthermore, the use of new technologies and gamification seem to maximise the potential for change in interventions implemented on them.
Based on the results of a preliminary systematic review of the literature on existing interventions to prevent bullying and cyberbullying using technology, the project involves the design, implementation and validation of a gaming application (Narrative Heroes) aimed at preventing and counteracting bullying and cyberbullying among adolescents by harnessing the power of generating counter-narratives in an online discussion. The aim is to stimulate an active change in the participants and a change in the narratives of the norms shared by the context, which will then be reflected in a change in attitudes and beliefs towards bullying and cyberbullying, both at an individual and group level.
Investigation of Tropospheric Radio Refractivity and other Relevant Parameters across Some Selected Locations in the Sahelian Region of Nigeria

The troposphere's internal processes are complex and exhibit nonlinear trends, which have a significant impact on the transmission and reception of high-quality signals worldwide. This study used measured monthly climatic data of temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure for Maiduguri and Sokoto from the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) over a forty-two-years period (1981 to 2022) to estimate the seasonal tropospheric radio refractivity and examine its variations with other meteorological parameters and refractive index. The refractivity gradiant, effective earth radius, and percentage contribution of the dry and wet term radio refractivity were also examined. According to the results, radio refractivity was found to be highest at the two locations during the rainy season and lowest during the dry season. In Maiduguri, during the rainy season and dry seasons are 361.4837 N-units in August, 272.4506 N-units in March while for Sokoto are 366.7093 N-units in August, 277.1162 N-units in February. For Maiduguri and Sokoto, the wet term (Nwet) contributes to the significant variation with 19.9753 % and 21.1831%, respectively, while the dry term (Ndry) contributes 80.0247 % and 78.8169 % to the total value of radio refractivity. The average refractivity gradients in the studied locations were found to be -42.3746 and -42.3928 N-units/km. Furthermore, it was discovered that Maiduguri and Sokoto had average effective earth radiuses (k-factors) of 1.3697 and 1.3698, respectively. These values implied super refraction propagation condition.

The theme of this research is the use of Science Communication Texts (SDT) in Science Teaching, and it aimed at providing an overview of how SDT is being used in initial teacher’s training, as well as, identifying the purpose and contributions of SDT to teacher training, in order to answer the phenomenological question, what is this that is shown.  To this end, we carried out a literature review using two sources, the Capes Journal Portal and Google Scholar. Thus, seven articles were selected and analyzed from the perspective of Textual and Discourse Analysis (TDA). Two final categories emerged from the methodological path taken: 1) The importance of teachers knowing the characteristics of SDTs and understanding them as a mediating tool and 2) Reading movements in science teaching: Appropriation, Meaning and Learning. For the construction of the meta-text, we chose the second category, which helped us to understand the teacher's choice and planning of the text to be used in the classroom, bearing in mind its purpose in teaching.
