Published: October 2023

The Manado-Tomohon line is one of the main transportation routes connecting Manado City as the capital city of North Sulawesi Province with several regencies and cities such as Minahasa, Mitra, Tomohon City, and Bolsel Regency. The Manado-Tomohon route in terms of economic activity is quite high because there are motels, fruit, and snack trade routes, as well as residential areas. From the geological aspect, it is covered with less compact material and has a rough topography and high rainfall, where these physical factors are very influential on changes in landform/geomorphology on the Manado-Tomohon road track. Seeing this, it is very important to study and map the geomorphological condition of the Manado-Tomohon road track. The purpose of this research is to prepare a geomorphological map/landform and examine the geomorphological aspect/landform of the Manado-Tomohon road track.

Published: October 2023

The misrepresentation of Russian interests in the ongoing Russo–Ukrainian War has drawn extensive public criticism. Scholars have investigated the war between Russia and Ukraine using diverse perspectives and using various aspects. Few, however, have examined the mechanisms through which Russian interests have been misrepresented. This article, thus, uses media analysis to investigate the Russo–Ukrainian War, relying on a review of the literature (previous studies, books, and digital news articles) to obtain its data. This study of the misrepresentation of Russian interests in the Russo–Ukrainian War finds 1) American and Ukrainian media have highlighted the disarray of the Russian offensive; 2) the media has misrepresented Russia's interests; 3) Russia and Ukraine have presented different information regarding the Russia–Ukraine War; 4) throughout the Russo–Ukrainian War, Russia has employed a DIME (Diplomacy, Information, Military, and Economy) strategy for its international politics. This study contributes to an understanding of the misrepresentation of Russia's interests on social media during the Russo–Ukrainian War.

Every child has the right to a quality and equitable education, regardless of background, ability, or special needs. However, the reality on the ground shows that not all children get equal opportunities to access education that suits their uniqueness. Inclusive education is an educational approach where all students, including children with special needs, learn together in the same school environment. This study aims to describe teachers' readiness to implement inclusive education in Merauke District. The research was conducted using descriptive and qualitative methods. The subjects of the study consisted of 129 primary school teachers from various grade levels from 60 primary schools spread across Merauke district. Data collection techniques include distributing Google Forms, interviews, and observations. The validity test was carried out by triangulating techniques by comparing the results of filling out Google Forms, interviews, and observations. The results showed (1) 75.2% or 97 teachers understood the meaning of inclusive education; (2) 85.3% or 110 teachers already had information about children with special needs; (3) 47.3% or 61 teachers expressed their readiness to accept children with disabilities in their schools, with the main reason being awareness of the rights of every child in education; however, (4) 100% or all teachers who were respondents had never attended training related to the implementation of inclusive education. As a result, teacher readiness is still very low.

ERNIE and Multi-Feature Fusion for News Topic Classification
Authors: Chen Weisong , Liu Boting , Guan Weili
Published: October 2023

Traditional news topic classification methods suffer from inaccurate text semantics, sparse text features and low classification accuracy. Based on this, this paper proposes a news topic classification method based on Enhanced Language Representation with Informative Entities (ERNIE) and multi-feature fusion. A semantically more accurate representation of text embedding is obtained by ERNIE. In addition, this paper extracts word, context and key sentence based on the news text. The key sentences of the news are obtained through the TextRank algorithm, which enables the model to focus on the content points of the news. Finally, this paper uses the attention mechanism to realize the fusion of multiple features. The proposed method is experimented on BBCNews. The experimental results show that we achieve classification accuracies superior to those of the compared methods, while validating the structural validity of the proposed method. The method in this paper has a positive effect on promoting the research of news topic classification.

Authors: Constantino Christopher S. , Bundoc Rafael C. , Tecson III Jose  V. , Rubio Donnel Alexis T.
Published: October 2023

Objective. This study aimed to determine the perceptions of rehabilitation medicine resident trainees on using modified Thiel soft-embalmed cadavers as a learning tool in acquiring knowledge on musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK-UTZ) and anatomy.Methods. This descriptive cross-sectional study used total enumeration to recruit residents in training under the rehabilitation medicine department of a tertiary referral hospital. An online survey tool was self-administered to determine their perceptions on the use of MSK-UTZ on Thiel-embalmed cadavers. Pre- and post-test scores were compared to determine if their knowledge has improved.Results. Fifteen participants were recruited, who answered the pre- and post-test, and the online survey. The mean pre-test score of participants was 5.87 (±1.68), and the mean post-test score was 6.87 (±2.00). There was no statistically significant difference (P = 0.20) using a paired t-test. At an arbitrary passing rate of 70%, only 5/15 participants passed the pre-test while 10/15 passed the post-test. A chi-square test of independence showed that there was no significant association between the number of participants who passed or failed on the pre- and posttest, X2 (1, N = 15) = 3.3, p = .0.068. Most of the perceptions of the participants were positive in terms of the use of modified Thiel soft-embalmed cadavers as a learning tool, its relevance in the training of a rehabilitation medicine resident, and the overall experience on its use.

Conclusion. Thiel-embalmed cadavers as a learning tool was well-accepted, having generally positive perceptions from the participants mainly in terms of perceived enhancement of the understanding of the anatomical basis of musculoskeletal ultrasound, perceived improvement in skills in performing musculoskeletal ultrasound, and most even recommended that it be part of their training as rehabilitation medicine residents. In terms of acquiring knowledge on musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK-UTZ) and anatomy, no significant improvement in knowledge was noted. Further studies with larger sample sizes are recommended to yield more statistically significant improvement in knowledge and to observe trends in the perceptions of participants.

Background and Objective. The pandemic acted as an accelerator for the development of online teaching formats in anatomy and histology worldwide. The authors introduce a bridging program that reinforces the knowledge and understanding of gross and correlative anatomy and histology acquired in a virtual environment in preparation for its future clinical application. The study aims to evaluate the Learning Enhancement in Anatomy Program (LEAP) conducted among first-year medical students at the College of Medicine, University of the Philippines Manila.Methods. This descriptive cross-sectional study aims to determine the initial experience of implementing a learning enhancement program and assess areas for its improvement. An internally validated questionnaire was given to students after the program to gauge students’ reactions (Kirkpatrick Level 1 evaluation). Pre- and post-tests were administered to evaluate knowledge acquisition (Kirkpatrick Level 2 evaluation). Short-term behavioral peer evaluation (Kirkpatrick Level 3 evaluation) was also instituted.Results. One hundred fifty-two (152) students participated in the study. General reactions from students to the LEAP were consistently positive, with a steady majority of the students rating ‘5’ or a ‘Strongly Agree’ to positive statements regarding the program. Higher ratings for more traditional teaching methods, such as cadavers, formalinized specimens, and bones, compared to virtual systems were apparent. However, inter-student variation in preference for teaching modalities was observed. All stations of the LEAP were evaluated satisfactorily, with most gross anatomy stations rated higher than histology stations. A significant increase was noted in the total post-test scores compared to pre-test scores. This improvement in test scores was observed in the anatomy and histology subcategories and in six of the seven organ system modules. Perceived behavioral outcomes were also generally positive.Conclusion. The LEAP is a worthwhile endeavor, garnering overwhelmingly positive reactions and asignificant improvement in test scores. Future studies are necessary to fine-tune teaching and training in ablended learning environment.

Authors: Rubio Donnel Alexis T. , Tecson III Jose V. , Bundoc Rafael C. , Constantino Christopher S.
Published: October 2023

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic affected all medical education because of the suspension of face-to-face learning and stringent protocols. Various methods of teaching were introduced to augment anatomical learning.Objective. As we enter the transition period and loosening of protocols for face-to-face learning, we want to know if these modes of teaching are still preferred and suitable or the traditional proctor-assisted dissection is preferable among first year medical students.Methods. This descriptive cross-sectional study recruited first-year medical students currently enrolled at the University of the Philippines College of Medicine during the Department of Anatomy Learning Enhancement Program (LEAP) from June 13-17, 2022. One station caters to musculoskeletal anatomy. The musculoskeletal station is further divided into four mini stations: a prosected lower extremity cadaver with labels of must know anatomic structures for the proctor-assisted cadaver dissection; a prosected lower extremity with a self-directed manual for the students to follow; a large screen television for the dissection educational videos focusing on the shoulder girdle; and lastly, skeletons for osteology. Thirty minutes were allotted per sub-station in the musculoskeletal station of LEAP. After completing the station, the students were provided with evaluation forms and a 30-item survey to determine the preferred teaching modality in musculoskeletal anatomy.Results. A total of 145 students out of the 178 students participated and answered the survey and evaluation form. Ninety-nine percent of the students rated the proctor-assisted dissection station great and excellent (13% and 86% respectively) and that 86% of the students preferred proctor-assisted dissection among the teaching modalities. Additionally, 89% (46% strongly disagreed and 43% disagreed) and 83% (55% strongly disagreed and 28% disagreed) of the students disagreed that they prefer self-directed module or dissection educational videos over traditional dissection, respectively. Mostof the students also agreed that the inability of face-toface dissection will affect their medical education (35% agreed and 64% strongly agreed) and majority of them thinks that cadaver dissection is vital in their medical education and towards becoming a doctor (14% agreed, 86% strongly agreed). 

Conclusion. With the plethora of teaching modalities introduced during the pandemic, medical students still preferred the traditional proctor-assisted dissection. However, they see the value of the other teachingmodalities as an added armamentarium in enhancing anatomical knowledge.

Impact of Nutrition in Fitness Development and Performance Enhancement for Athletes
Authors: Swapna N  , Dr. Hanumanthayya Pujari
Published: October 2023

Proper nutrition plays a major role in the fitness and performance of all sports persons, especially in athletes several factors contribute to their key success. Good dietary planning is the major component. Athletes achieve peak performance by eating a balanced diet including a variety of foods that contain carbohydrates, fats, minerals, proteins, vitamins, and water. The athlete's need for optimal nutrition depends on several factors, including the sport, the time available, the goals to be met, as well as physical, psychological, practical, and environmental considerations. Based on each person's unique fitness and dietary planning, daily dietary guidance, and particular guidance before, during, and after training, the diet will vary from person to person. Athletes are required to adhere to the diet recommended by licensed physical education specialists, dieticians, or nutritionists based on their level of physical fitness. A combination of dietary strategies should be used by athletes to improve their overall fitness and performance. For example, eating carbohydrates can provide 40 to 50 percent of the energy needed during exercise while also maintaining high levels of carbohydrate oxidation, preventing hypoglycemia, and having a positive impact on the central nervous system. The requirement for energy is also significantly influenced by fat. Fat can provide 60–70% of the energy needed for ultra-endurance competitions lasting 6–10 hours. Depending on the type and frequency of exercise, an athlete's need for protein may rise. The current RDA for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram per day, and it is now widely understood that eating protein throughout the day after exercise has many advantages. Athletes must strive to stay adequately hydrated and limit fluid loss during activity to no more than 2% of their body weight. Athletes should consume 5 to 7 mL per kilogram of body mass around four hours before an event to prevent dehydration. Supplementing with vitamins and minerals can significantly improve performance

Detection and characterisation of microplastics in animal feed
Authors: MAGANTI Sharon Sushma , AKKINA Rajani Chowdary
Published: October 2023

Microplastics (MPs) the products of plastic breakdown, are entering the environment as a result of plastic abuse, which are of size less than 5mm. Due to their ubiquitous nature, MPs have become a significant environmental concern. One alarming area of MPs contamination is their potential presence in the feed of edible animal species. Growing research suggests that MPs can enter food products and subsequently move to various trophic levels of food chains. Hence, assessing the threat of MPs contamination in animal feed is important for food security and human health. In this investigation, 36 livestock and poultry feed samples were collected from 12 different farms, MPs were detected using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). The Nano particle analyser was used to determine the size distribution, and Pyrolysis-GC/MS was used to quantify MPs. According to the findings, all the feed samples contained a significant amount of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Polypropylene (PP), and Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and the particle size ranged from 2.02 to 10.7 µm. Present study has given detailed information on the size distribution of MPs in animal feed, which is thought to enable them to pass through membrane barriers. From the findings it is evident that there are high chances of MPs entering animal feed due to the continuous contact of the feed with plastic-based materials. These MPs can accumulate in the tissues of animals and potentially be transferred to humans through the consumption of meat, milk, and other animal-derived products. Subsequently these MPs can finally bio-accumulate in humans and cause serious health issues.

Authors: Bastianpillai Sandra B. , Marasinghe Indunil T.
Published: October 2023

Visual Merchandising is a modern-day technique used by retailers to attract customers by communicating through visual appeal in order to secure their market share amidst intense competition. Scholars have proved that visual merchandising is a powerful tool that can draw customers towards the store and entice impulse purchases. The current study aims to identify the impact of visual merchandising on impulse buying behavior with reference to customers of supermarket chains in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. The underlying concept was presented with a comprehensive review of literature. Primary data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire that was distributed among a sample of 250 respondents from Kandy, Matale and Nuwara-Eliya districts. The sample was formed using the convenience sampling method. The researcher used the SPSS software to analyze the collected data. At the data analysis phase, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were analyzed and the hypotheses were tested using the correlation and regression analysis in which two hypotheses were accepted and two were rejected. The dependent variable of the study was customers’ impulse buying behavior and the independent variable was visual merchandising. The independent variable consisted of four dimensions namely, window display, store layout, promotional signage and product display. The findings of the study revealed that out of the four dimensions, product display and window display have a significant and positive impact on impulse buying behavior. This study provides an understanding for retailers to focus on specific elements of visual merchandising in order to create a positive impact on customer’s impulse buying behavior. The researcher recommends that the scope of this study could be expanded to investigate both internal and external factors that influence customers’ impulse buying behavior with a combination of quantitative and qualitative research approaches.

Climate change is one of the most significant challenges humanity is facing today. As major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, cities have a crucial role in mitigating its effects. One resource that cities can leverage in this fight is their Urban Voids (UVs) - undermanaged spaces that, when adequately repurposed, can provide a range of benefits, such as supporting urban biological ecosystems and helping to address climate change. This study proposes a machine-learning-based classification of UVs in “Balat” and “Fener” in Istanbul, Turkey. By classifying UVs based on their ability to assist ecological restoration and community growth, this study offers a valuable tool for urban planners and policymakers to prioritise their efforts and spend resources more efficiently in the fight against climate change. The classification in this study is based on five factors - Ownership, Debris, Economic activity, Seal, and Leisure facilities - which were selected based on their significance in previous studies of UVs. A decision tree algorithm was employed to classify the UVs into six categories, and an artificial neural network (ANN) was used to validate the classification with an accuracy of 97%. Overall, this study offers insights into the potential of machine learning in UV classification and provides a valuable tool for urban planners and policymakers to manage and activate UVs effectively.

A busca por procedimentos estéticos tem crescido de forma significativa, impulsionada pela busca incessante pela aparência perfeita e rejuvenescida. Este artigo é uma revisão da literatura, têm como objetivo geral discutir o papel do profissional Biomédico esteta na execução de procedimentos estéticos; que embora tragam benefícios legítimos para a autoestima e confiança, podem trazer danos à saúde do paciente; a sua atuação ao otimizar os resultados e evitar os riscos indesejáveis, discutir os perigos que podem acometer a saúde. Foram analisadas pesquisas relacionadas ao tema, a fim de discorrer sobre os fatores que levam a uma alta demanda da modificação da aparência. Os resultados mostram que apesar dos padrões de beleza terem evoluído ao longo da história, a sociedade ainda valoriza a aparência exterior como um importante instrumento de validação social e a influência da tecnologia, das redes e mídia sociais tem um papel crucial gerando um padrão estético irreal, causando insatisfação e baixa autoestima nas pessoas afetando a saúde física e mental. A pesquisa destaca que é necessária uma comunicação eficaz para avaliar a existência de possíveis riscos, que podem ter intercorrência significativas na saúde física e mental, portanto, é importante adotar condutas que visem minimizar tais intercorrências como a solicitação de exames laboratoriais, a aplicação de uma anamnese eficaz, o uso correto dos materiais e quantidades de produtos, de forma que de maneira alguma, tais procedimentos comprometam a saúde e o bem-estar físico do paciente. É necessário equilibrar a busca pela beleza com a saúde e o bem-estar dos pacientes, evitando riscos desnecessários, e enfatizar a importância da conscientização pública sobre os perigos dos procedimentos estéticos e priorizar sempre a segurança e o bem-estar dos pacientes em qualquer intervenção estética.

Este artigo tem como tema a relação entre o aleitamento materno e a cárie de primeira infância- CIP, oriundo de uma problemática: o leite materno pode ser a causa da cárie na primeira infância? Essa discussão tem sido objeto de estudo e debate na área da odontologia. A CPI refere-se a cáries em crianças com menos de 6 anos de idade. O aleitamento materno exclusivo nos primeiros seis meses de vida é altamente recomendado e não aumenta significativamente o risco de cárie de primeira infância. O leite materno oferece benefícios protetores contra a CPI devido à sua composição equilibrada, presença de anticorpos e estímulo à produção de saliva. A prática de amamentação em livre demanda e a higiene oral adequada são importantes para manter a saúde bucal do bebê durante o aleitamento materno. No entanto, é sempre aconselhável consultar um profissional de saúde, como um pediatra ou odontopediatra, para obter orientações personalizadas sobre a amamentação e a saúde bucal do seu bebê. A investigação tem como objetivo identificar componentes do leite materno, descrever sobre a cárie e discutir as possibilidades de prevenção da doença. A metodologia é fundamentada na pesquisa bibliográfica com embasamento na revisão da literatura do banco de dados do SCIELO, PUBMED, GOOGLE ACADEMICO. Os estudos descrevem que não há evidências cientificas que comprovem que o aleitamento materno é o fator predominante para a cárie de primeira infância, tendo em vista que a doença cárie é multifatorial e biofilme açúcar dependente.

Abstract. Multi-temporal measurements quantifying the changes to the Earth's surface are critical for understanding many natural, anthropogenic, and social processes. Researchers typically use remotely sensed Earth observation data to quantify and characterize such changes in land use and land cover (LULC). However, such data sources are limited in their availability prior to the 1980s. While an observational window of 40 to 50 years is sufficient to study most recent LULC changes, processes such as urbanization, land development, and the evolution of urban and coupled nature–human systems often operate over longer time periods covering several decades or even centuries. Thus, to quantify and better understand such processes, alternative historical–geospatial data sources are required that extend farther back in time. However, such data are rare, and processing is labor-intensive, often involving manual work. To overcome the resulting lack in quantitative knowledge of urban systems and the built environment prior to the 1980s, we leverage cadastral data with rich thematic property attribution, such as building usage and construction year. We scraped, harmonized, and processed over 12 000 000 building footprints including construction years to create a multi-faceted series of gridded surfaces, describing the evolution of human settlements in Spain from 1900 to 2020, at 100 m spatial and 5-year temporal resolution. These surfaces include measures of building density, built-up intensity, and built-up land use. We evaluated our data against a variety of data sources including remotely sensed human settlement data and land cover data, model-based historical land use depictions, and historical maps and historical aerial imagery and find high levels of agreement. This new data product, the Historical Settlement Data Compilation for Spain (HISDAC-ES), is publicly available (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.22009643, Uhl et al., 2023a) and represents a rich source for quantitative, long-term analyses of the built environment and related processes over large spatial and temporal extents and at fine resolutions.
