Authors: Rabehi Rachid , Mohamed Rabehi , Mohammed Omrane
Published: June 2023

Research has been carried out in Japan recently with the aim of creating concrete formulations characterized by high workability while being stable in order to adapt concrete to structures with more complex and heavily reinforced sections. (Low segregation, compaction, and bleeding) with strong mechanical properties. The result of this research is self-compacting concrete (SCC), a new type of concrete that can fulfill the aforementioned properties. SCC is distinguished by a high paste volume, a high fines volume, the use of superplasticizers, and a low gravel volume. Due to the increasing demand for aggregates, crushed gravel may be replaced with recycled gravel in the interests of environmental conservation and sustainable development goals. Steel fibers are added to recycled concrete and gravel SCCs to improve their properties. The objective of this research is to examine the durability in the hardened state as well as the physico-mechanical characteristics of self-compacting concrete (SCC) made from recycled concrete gravel. According to the results, the best recycled concrete gravel contains 50%, and the addition of 0.5% fibers improves the properties of these SCCs.

Background: Mango is one of the most important horticultural crops in the world, and North Lombok. The quality of mango fruits appears to be one of determining factors in mango business worldwide, demanding mango producers and other related stakeholders to pay attention. This paper aims at describing agribusiness systems of mango in North Lombok, Indonesia and followed by recommending strategies for improving the quality of mango fruits along the way of all agribusiness sub systems from input, farm, processing, marketing and supporting service. Methods: This study took place in North Lombok Regency, the Province of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, during April 2017 to December 2018. Primary data were collected through interviewing respondents of mango growers, traders and key informants of mango agribusiness. These primary data were complemented with data from secondary sources. Data analysis was framed in agribusiness system. Result: The study revealed that there were several weaknesses in each sub-system of agribusiness and weak connections amongst the subsystems. Therefore, there needs improvement in each subsystem of agribusiness to become strong and supports each other. The sub system of supporting services appears to have more determining role than other sub systems in improving the system of agribusiness, further in improving the quality of mango fruits, the performance of the mango business for benefits of the mango entrepreneurs and the economy of the region.

The Impact of an Undergraduate Research Experience on Graduate Degree Attainment across Academic Divisions
Authors: Brouhle Keith , Graham Brad
Published: June 2023

Initially promoted in the sciences, undergraduate research experiences (UREs) are now common academic offerings for students across all areas of curricula. This study extends previous research by evaluating the impact of a URE along two new dimensions: on different graduate degree attainments of students PhD or master's/professional degrees and by the academic area of the URE (in the sciences, social sciences, or humanities). These issues are investigated using a unique student record database and employing an empirical framework to address the sample selection inherent in URE evaluation. UREs are found to have a positive impact on PhD completion in the sciences and social sciences but no impact in the humanities. No evidence is found that UREs impact attainment of master’s and professional degrees.
Does It Matter If I Call It a CURE? Identity Development in Online Entrepreneurship Coursework
Authors: Kuan Jennifer , Sedlacek Quentin C.
Published: June 2023

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have historically been associated with STEM, but are expanding into other fields. CUREs may benefit undergraduate business majors, but some students do not perceive “doing research” as part of business. The authors ask whether a business CURE can lead students to begin self-identifying as researchers. Particular attention is paid to explicitness: Do students report different self-identification outcomes if they are explicitly told they are doing research? Survey data are collected from a required entrepreneurship course in which an instructor explicitly talks about her research career and authentically characterizes normal course activities as “scientific research” in some course sections but not in others. Pre- and post-course surveys show statistically significant growth in student self-identification as researchers only in the “explicit CURE” sections.
Developing Prerequisite Skills in a CURE through Competency-Based
Assignments
Authors: Eich Elizabeth , Catanese Daniel J. , Beier Margaret E.
Published: June 2023

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are increasingly popular,
but less often implemented in core laboratory courses due to the strict learning
objectives necessary for follow-on courses. A curricular core intermediate- level
experimental biosciences laboratory course was implemented, which paired
competency-based assignments with client-serving research projects to develop the
prerequisite skills for upper-level courses in the context of authentic research. This
CURE led to more favorable student outcomes and more positive perceptions than the
previous course design. This approach was piloted at a private, research-intensive
university in fall 2015 and scaled to full implementation the following year. Several
considerations and the necessary resources for such a scaling are discussed.

Aim: Diagnostic testing for SARS-CoV-2 is an important component of the overall COVID-19 prevention and control strategy. Antigen detection using lateral flow assay (LFA) platforms can be performed at the point-of-care, providing quick results while being inexpensive and simple to perform. The current study sought to determine the success of a rapid antigen test in COVID-19 suspected cases, as well as the characteristics of discrepant results.

Materials and Methods: Upper respiratory samples from 352 adult patients suspected of acute COVID-19 cases with related symptoms for 18 years old) suspected of acute COVID-19 cases. The patients ranged in age from 18 to 88 years old, with a median age of 41.25 years. A routine test for SARS-CoV-2 RNA found positive results in 127 (37.1%) of the patients and negative results in 225 (63.9%). The COVID-19 Ag test was positive in 116(33%) of these patients' nasal swab samples and negative in 236 (67%). The sensitivity and specificity of the COVID-19 Ag test was 89.7% and 99%, respectively.

Conclusion: A rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, which will be tested easily and supervised by medical personnel, could help decide for immediate isolation for patients or asymptomatic individuals that are shedding large number of viruses. In this study, lower viral loads can be strongly linked to the false negative antigen test results.

Published: June 2023

This research explains data breaches as national security threat by using cyber security dilemma and cyber harm approaches. For long, Indonesia adopted comprehensive national security system that covers state defense, state security, public security and human security. Cyber security dilemma explains data breaches as threats to state defense and security dimensions. While cyber harm explains it as threats to public and human security dimensions. Furthermore, we found that: (1) non-state actors have influence to escalate cyber security dilemma in long term; (2) the state response by increasing defense and security sector’s budget; and (3) the threats of data breaches to public and human security took place when government and corporations neglect the responsibilities to protect data and privacy of citizen and consument, as well as non-state actors conduct cyber attacks intentionally. The methodology is descriptive -qualitative and quantitative. While the data covered data breaches incidents in Indonesia during August-September 2022, literatures such as books, journal articles and online articles is also used.

The Urgency of China’s Crypto Mining Ban in Relation to the Carbon Neutral Policy 2060
Authors: Rossdiana Renatha Ayu
Published: June 2023

Cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin, which have been developing since 2008, are gaining increasing popularity due to their high value, considered the future of global finance. With its decentralized concept, crypto activities from mining to buying and selling can be carried out by individuals anywhere at any time. Nevertheless, despite its popularity, several countries, including China, have banned crypto activities, including the mining process. This paper further elaborates on why China has banned cryptocurrency mining. In conducting the analysis, the author uses the concept of sustainable development, the concept of a green economy and the concept of environmental security. As a result, this paper finds that the Chinese government banned crypto mining because of the government’s commitment to the Carbon Neutral Policy 2060, where crypto mining is one of the economic sectors that contribute to carbon emissions on a large scale, driving an increase in e-waste and its operations that consume large amounts of energy. This condition contributes to a decrease in the quality of the environment so that its carbon footprint has the potential to become an obstacle for China in realizing its Carbon Neutral Policy.

Mata uang kripto, secara spesifik Bitcoin yang marak berkembang sejak tahun 2008, semakin diminati banyak orang karena nilainya yang tinggi sehingga dianggap sebagai masa depan finansial global. Dengan sifatnya yang terdesentralisasi, aktivitas kripto mulai dari penambangannya hingga jual belinya dapat dilakukan oleh individu perseorangan dimanapun dan kapanpun. Namun, terlepas dari popularitasnya, beberapa negara termasuk Tiongkok melakukan pelarangan aktivitas kripto termasuk penambangannya. Tulisan ini mengelaborasi lebih lanjut pertanyaan mengapa Tiongkok melakukan pelarangan penambangan mata uang kripto. Penulis menggunakan konsep pembangunan berkelanjutan, konsep ekonomi hijau, dan konsep keamanan lingkungan. Hasilnya, tulisan ini menemukan bahwa pemerintah Tiongkok melakukan pelarangan penambangan kripto karena komitmen pemerintah terhadap Carbon Neutral Policy 2060, sebab penambangan kripto merupakan salah satu sektor ekonomi yang menyumbang emisi karbon dalam skala besar, mendorong kenaikan sampah elektronik, dan operasinya yang mengkonsumsi energi dalam jumlah besar. Kondisi ini berkontribusi pada penurunan kualitas lingkungan hidup sehingga jejak karbonnya berpotensi menjadi penghambat Tiongkok dalam mewujudkan Carbon Neutral Policy.

Global Response towards the Transnationalism of Illegal Rhinoceros Commodity Hunting and Trading in South Africa
Authors: Numadi Katong Ragawi , Ma’rifat Filasafia Marsya
Published: June 2023

Globalization, which coincides with the formation of a global economic network, has provided convenience in various aspects as well as created new threats, one of them is illegal poaching and illegal trade in wildlife commodities. This is illustrated in this paper through the integration of Africa into the dynamics of the global economy which also has a negative impact in the form of increasing cases of illegal poaching and trade in wildlife commodities, especially African rhino species. The results of this qualitative research found that the issue of poaching wild rhinos in the African region experienced a drastic increase in the early 2010s and reached its peak in 2016 with South Africa as the hotspot as well as the starting point of the supply chain on this issue. Even though the South African government has ratified the Convention on International Trades on Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) and made various prevention efforts, the South African government is still experiencing bureaucratic limitations and conflicts of interest in dealing with this issue. As a result, the “transnational” term of illegal wildlife hunting and trade operations also requires other collaborative steps involving various international state organizations (IGOs) and non-state (INGOs) working in the same field.

Globalisasi yang bersamaan dengan terbentuknya jaringan perekonomian global pada faktanya telah memberikan kemudahan di berbagai aspek sekaligus memunculkan berbagai ancaman baru, salah satunya adalah perburuan dan perdagangan komoditas margasatwa ilegal. Hal tersebut diilustrasikan dalam tulisan ini melalui integrasi Afrika ke dalam dinamika ekonomi global yang tidak hanya berdampak positif, tetapi juga memunculkan dampak negatif berupa meningkatnya kasus perburuan dan perdagangan komoditas margasatwa ilegal, khususnya spesies badak Afrika. Hasil penelitian kualitatif ini menemukan bahwa isu perburuan badak liar di wilayah Afrika mengalami peningkatan drastis di awal dekade 2010-an dan mencapai puncaknya pada tahun 2016 dengan Afrika Selatan sebagai hotspot sekaligus titik awal rantai suplai dalam isu tersebut. Kendati pemerintah Afrika Selatan telah meratifikasi Convention on International Trades on Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES) dan melakukan berbagai upaya pencegahan, pemerintah Afrika Selatan nyatanya masih mengalami keterbatasan birokrasi dan konflik kepentingan dalam mengatasi isu tersebut. Alhasil, sifat transnasional dalam operasi perburuan dan perdagangan satwa ilegal juga menuntut adanya langkah kolaboratif lain yang melibatkan berbagai organisasi internasional negara (IGOs) dan non-negara (INGOs) yang bergerak di bidang yang sama.

APPLICATION OF CAUSAL ANALYSIS OF DISRUPTIONS AND THE FUNCTIONAL RESONANCE ANALYSIS METHOD (FRAM) IN ANALYZING THE RISK OF THE BAGGAGE PROCESS
Authors: KWASIBORSKA Anna , KĄDZIOŁA Krzysztof
Published: June 2023

Following the events related to the pandemic and the war in Ukraine, increasing air traffic also increases turnaround agents' activity at airports. Turnaround operations are among the critical activities performed at airports, which must be characterized by punctuality and accuracy of the elementary handling operations. Lack of punctuality in ground handling causes delays in air traffic. On the other hand, a lack of accuracy can also cause disruptions that can turn into aviation incidents. Achieving punctuality and accuracy in aircraft handling is possible by minimizing the resulting disruptions during such handling. The safety management system (SMS) assumes activities to reduce the causes of potential incidents. In the turnaround process, the human factor, the technical aspect, and compliance with existing procedures are significant. The authors have extensively analyzed the disruptions arising during ground handling, learning its causes and effects, which will help avoid adverse events. Occurring disruptions can cause delays in the execution of flight operations but can also cause aviation incidents. Therefore, the authors focused on ground-handling disruptions that can cause adverse aviation incidents. The article presents the interference analysis results as an Ishikawa diagram. Using the FRAM method, an analysis of possible disruptions during the baggage handling process was carried out.

Verification of the Mode Decomposition Technique for the Closely Distributed Modal System in State Space
Authors: Noh Jungtae , Hwang Jae-Seung
Published: June 2023

The aim of this study is to propose and validate the state space mode decomposition technique for precise mode separation of non-classical damping systems and closely distributed modal systems. To assess the reliability and applicability of this technique, a 40-story building with a tuned mass damper is investigated, and acceleration responses measured by the building's health monitoring system are used for the verification of the technique. The mode separation results reveal that the separated modal power spectrum becomes distorted at neighboring natural frequency ranges when the performance index only considers the concentration of power spectral energy at the target natural frequency. However, by introducing an augmented performance index that includes a constraint condition to account for distortion, more accurate mode decomposition can be achieved.

This article presents the results of the study on the elements and spaces that likes and dislikes’ historical urban landscape of Ibarra's city, Ecuador, based on the analysis of the urban image. This research aims to propose an objective way to intervene a historical landscape based on the opinion of the people who frequent the place. Our hypothesis is that the characteristics (age, gender, educational level, and frequency of visits) of the interviewees condition their judgment on liking and disliking. It is proposed to know which of these characteristics condition the judgment. The methodology has two parts: a descriptive statistical analysis with graphs and frequencies used to map each point on the maps, and a logistic regression model to study the relationships between liking and disliking with interviewee characteristics. As results, (1) it has been possible to obtain those elements or spaces that are liked and disliked in proportion graphs and in planimetry. (2) Explanatory analysis of liking and disliking through the logistic regression model and inference to study significant characteristics. It emphasizes that "frequency of visits" is the significant characteristic for the elements and spaces that dislike. It's concluded that the study carried out provides objective tools to obtain the opinion of people and it's useful seen it in planimetry. Also, could be establish priorities to urban authorities about improve and intervention on elements or spaces that people judge because they are liking or disliking.

Authors: Cabrera Javier , Guerrero Carlos , Franco Esteban , Araujo Gabriela
Published: June 2023

Currently, there are different types of technology for the production of electricity that use various energy sources, this causes the establishment of generation centers that provide from a small amount to tens of megawatts of electrical energy. These centers are built to supply electricity to nearby loads through networks integrated into a large electrical system or in isolation with their electrical system. The technological evolution, the different energy sources, and the generation centers close to the consumers entail what has been called a distributed generation (DG), the DG carries with it aspects that need to be analyzed. In this paper, the impact of wind generation on the medium voltage energy distribution network is studied, it was determined that the addition to the distribution network of power by wind turbines less than the transmission center does not produce an impact on the network. Simulated results obtained using SIMULINK and DIgSILENT are presented and discussed.
Further Explanation on the Excitation Mechanism of Stay Cable Vibration in Dry Conditions
Authors: Nguyen Duy Thao , Vo Duy Hung
Published: June 2023

This article presents a study conducted within a wind tunnel to enhance understanding of the excitation mechanism of stay cable vibration under arid conditions. Numerous wind tunnel tests were meticulously analyzed. Initially, the vibration of the stay cable was measured under steady flow conditions at a flow angle of 45 degrees and an inclination of 25 degrees, while varying wind velocities were applied. Additionally, an investigation into the flow field surrounding the stay cable was conducted in both vertical and horizontal directions. By utilizing two hot wire anemometers in the cable wake, an extensive database of flow field measurements was obtained. The experimental results revealed that the vibration characteristics of the stay cable under the arid conditions considered in this study aligned with findings reported in existing literature. Notably, a deeper comprehension of the excitation mechanism of a stay cable in a dry state was attained. This mechanism is closely associated with the inhibition of Karman vortices and the development of low-frequency vortices. At low wind speeds, Karman vortices predominated, resulting in small-amplitude vibrations. However, as the wind speed increased, the influence of Karman vortices diminished progressively, while the low-frequency vortices grew stronger. These low-frequency vortices exhibited high energy and a significant correlation with shedding along the stay cable, thereby inducing cable vibration in a dry environment.
Convergence Analysis of Phase-Scheduled-Command FXLMS Algorithm with the Phase Error
Authors: Wang Yushuai , Liu Feng , Fu Zhenrong , Yang Lianxin , Wang Pengfei
Published: June 2023

In this paper, the Phase-Scheduled-Command FXLMS algorithm with the phase error between the disturbance and command signal is analyzed in detail. The influence of the phase error on the convergence time constant, convergence rate, and performance of convergence is explained for both stationary and nonstationary disturbance signals case. For stationary disturbance, the phase error slightly increases the convergence rate but heavily increases the distance of the optimum vector from the initial value, leading to poor convergence time constant performance. For nonstationary disturbance, the existence of phase error leads to poor convergence performance in every step, resulting in poor sound profiling performance. And the estimation of the phase error influence is developed in the closed form. Simulations are performed to demonstrate the validity of the analysis results.

Media in the Cultural Dissemination: A Study of Cultural Filming on YouTube
Authors: Irsyadi Achmad Naufal , Madamidola Oladele
Published: June 2023

Media played a role in the dissemination of all kinds of information quickly and thoroughly, especially disseminating cultural information in order to maintain the value of culture. We studied and reviewed the potential of YouTube as a visual medium in disseminating the forms and values ​​of culture. We used Denis McQuail's theory of mass communication in the field of new media theory. In our assumption, YouTube has visual-ideological compatibility in presenting a number of cultural portraits whose elements and values ​​can be listened to, identified, and internalized by the audience as something useful and valuable. Thus, there were at least two things that could be obtained from a culture broadcast on new media, namely (a) elements and values ​​of a culture could be spread to the public and serve as useful values ​​for life, and (b) elements and values of a culture could be maintained.

Diseases of the ear, throat, nose in children and adolescents are one of the most pressing public health problems due to their high prevalence and medical and social significance, both in our country and abroad. The condition for increasing the effectiveness of otolaryngological care for children and adolescents is to ensure its accessibility. P u r p o s e : analysis of regulatory support and assessment of the availability of medical care for children and adolescents in the field of otorhinolaryngology. M a t e r i a l s a n d m e t h o d s . Methods of legal analysis, expert assessments, as well as expert, mathematical-statistical and analytical methods were applied. F i n d i n g s . Studies conducted in 2022 on the basis of children’s polyclinics in the city of Ramenskoye, Moscow Region, revealed “bottlenecks” in the legal regulation of the issues of access to medical care for children and adolescents in children’s polyclinics. A methodology for an integral assessment of the availability of otorhinolaryngological care for children and adolescents in the conditions of children’s polyclinics has been developed. The deviation of the integral evaluation index according to the proposed method by 18,0% relative to the optimal level was revealed, which requires involvement of local authorities in solving problems.
Late Presentation of a Retained Wood Foreign Body as an Expanding Soft-Tissue Mass in an Adolescent's Foot
Authors: Gamble James G.
Published: June 2023

Case:

A 12-year-5-month-old boy presented with a 3-month history of a 2 × 3-cm enlarging painful mass on the medial plantar aspect of his left foot. The radiograph was normal, but the magnetic resonance (MR) images clearly disclosed a foreign body in the shape of a toothpick that had been quiescent for 31 months. Thirty-three months after surgical removal, the patient was asymptomatic and had returned to full activity.

Conclusion:

A retained wood foreign body can present as an expanding mass, and MR is the modality of choice to image wood foreign bodies.
Rare Occurrence of Posttraumatic Cutaneous Mucormycosis After a Superficial Abrasion

Case:

Two patients who sustained multiple injuries after a road traffic accident developed cutaneous mucormycosis after a superficial abrasion. In the first case, the patient was diabetic with poorly controlled glycemic status. In the second case, the patient was young and immunocompetent with no known risk factors.

Conclusion:

Although there are few case reports of posttraumatic cutaneous mucormycosis, there is no single report describing its occurrence after a superficial abrasion. Cutaneous mucormycosis can be fatal if not identified early and treated aggressively. A high index of suspicion, timely diagnosis, and repeated debridement with antifungal therapy provided good functional outcomes in both patients.
Fabella Syndrome of the Knee
Authors: Lustig Mia , Hazzard Sean

Purpose:

The purpose of this analysis is to review the strategies to diagnose fabella syndrome of the knee and examine the most effective management options.

Methods:

A literature review and primary source search was completed through PubMed and EBSCO ultimate academic database. Several articles were reviewed, and articles with the most relevant data were selected and analyzed.

Results:

Less than 50% of the population have a fabella, and most patients who present with fabella syndrome are between ages 15 to 17 years. Fabella syndrome is diagnosed by posterolateral pain in the gastrocnemius especially with extension or added pressure on the bone. The possible treatment plans for the condition are steroid injections, physical therapy, shockwave therapy, or a fabellectomy.

Conclusion:

Fabella syndrome is difficult to diagnose because it has a low incidence rate and the symptoms to diagnose it are broad. One of the best ways to identify the condition is to rule out other diagnoses in addition to meeting the symptom criteria. The best long-term treatment for fabella syndrome is to perform surgery to remove the fabella bone, which presents low risk and a high rate of positive outcomes.
Guidance to Best Tools and Practices for Systematic Reviews

» Data continue to accumulate indicating that many systematic reviews are methodologically flawed, biased, redundant, or uninformative. Some improvements have occurred in recent years based on empirical methods research and standardization of appraisal tools; however, many authors do not routinely or consistently apply these updated methods. In addition, guideline developers, peer reviewers, and journal editors often disregard current methodological standards. Although extensively acknowledged and explored in the methodological literature, most clinicians seem unaware of these issues and may automatically accept evidence syntheses (and clinical practice guidelines based on their conclusions) as trustworthy.

» A plethora of methods and tools are recommended for the development and evaluation of evidence syntheses. It is important to understand what these are intended to do (and cannot do) and how they can be utilized. Our objective is to distill this sprawling information into a format that is understandable and readily accessible to authors, peer reviewers, and editors. In doing so, we aim to promote appreciation and understanding of the demanding science of evidence synthesis among stakeholders. We focus on well-documented deficiencies in key components of evidence syntheses to elucidate the rationale for current standards. The constructs underlying the tools developed to assess reporting, risk of bias, and methodological quality of evidence syntheses are distinguished from those involved in determining overall certainty of a body of evidence. Another important distinction is made between those tools used by authors to develop their syntheses as opposed to those used to ultimately judge their work.

» Exemplar methods and research practices are described, complemented by novel pragmatic strategies to improve evidence syntheses. The latter include preferred terminology and a scheme to characterize types of research evidence. We organize best practice resources in a Concise Guide that can be widely adopted and adapted for routine implementation by authors and journals. Appropriate, informed use of these is encouraged, but we caution against their superficial application and emphasize their endorsement does not substitute for in-depth methodological training. By highlighting best practices with their rationale, we hope this guidance will inspire further evolution of methods and tools that can advance the field.
Pain Catastrophizing in Dance Students in Relation to Resilient Behavior and Self-Reported Injuries
Authors: Arbinaga Félix , Bernal-López Miriam
Published: June 2023

AIMS: Pain catastrophizing is characterized by a set of negative emotional and cognitive processes in response to pain, with a tendency to focus inordinately on the painful sensation, exaggerate the damage, and perceive feelings of helplessness. It is a psychological factor that can
be treated to help people more effectively cope with pain. In this cross-sectional study, we explored the relationship between self-reported injuries, resilient behavior, and pain catastrophizing in dance students, with more than 3 years of study in public conservatories or private academies.
METHODS: A sample of 147 dance students participated, 75.5% of whom were female with a mean age of 28.34 yrs (SD 11.42). Pain catastrophizing was assessed using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and resilience was assessed using the Resilience Scale. RESULTS: Students in the high resilience
category reported lower scores on rumination and magnification, with a marginal difference in total catastrophizing and no difference in helplessness. Those who reported having suffered injuries during the last 3 years showed higher scores in total catastrophizing, rumination, and magnification,
but not in helplessness. Those who reported mild injuries showed differences in pain catastrophizing, rumination, and magnification, while those with moderate and severe/very severe injuries only showed differences in magnification. CONCLUSION: The individual nature of pain perception and
coping strategies suggests that pain catastrophizing may be considered before dance performance and in those dancers who do not recover as expected after injury.
