Based on history the JKSE level will reverse direction if it experiences a deep decline that occurs in global or national conditions, in 2020 the JKSE will experience a deep decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This makes a potential investment in the healthcare sector, based on price movements through IDXHEALTH, the price of this sector continues to increase because the industry is in high demand. Thus, this study aims to find the fair value of shares in the healthcare sector to invest in by using a comparison of two valuation methods, namely relative valuation and discounted cash flow. The sampling technique was non-probability sampling, namely purposive sampling on the population of the pharmaceutical and health research sectors on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The data analysis method used is descriptive statistical analysis, relative valuation, and discounted cash flow. The results of this study indicate that both methods can be used. However, discounted cash flows are more realistic based on a safer margin of safety in risk comparisons and result in undervalued conclusions so that buying decisions for investors and companies can be a reference to improve company performance.

Logistic Regression Analysis for Uncovering Socio-demographic Factors of Community Participation in Waste Management
Authors: Majid Kholil
Published: August 2024

This study presents the results of a preliminary attempt to assess community acceptance in an Indonesian village where a community-based waste management program is economically more attractive than simply burning or burying the waste. In Karangan Village, Bojonegoro, domestic waste is mostly burnt or buried, contributing to environmental degradation, such as water, soil, and air pollution caused by smoke. Regression analysis was applied to calculate and analyze the data. Photo mapping on current waste management (WM) practices was provided beforehand to identify its effect on the environment. The study indicates that there were about 18 illegal dumping sites in the village, which are frequently open-burnt by villagers, emitting odor and smoke, deteriorating the air quality. Low community participation in rural waste management, only 56.6%, causes improper WM. The study emphasizes the significant role of individual characteristics, age, education, motivation, opinion, willingness to be involved, sense of responsibility, information about 3R and 3R counseling, availability on dissemination, and training on waste management in influencing individuals' participation in community activities.

Published: August 2024

Bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) are popular exotic pets. Oxyurid can be transmitted to them through contaminated insect and vegetable feed that may carry infective larvae and worm eggs. Oxyuriasis frequently infects Bearded dragon which then causes diarrhea, weight loss, and other digestive issues. This study investigated the impact of various feeding practices and feed hygiene on the prevalence and severity of Oxyurid infections in Bearded dragon. Total of 24 Bearded dragon was used on this study. The variation of feed was used in groups include mixed vegetable and insect feed without hygiene procedures (P0), insect feed without hygiene procedure (P1), vegetable feed without hygiene procedure (P2), mixed vegetable and insect feed with hygiene procedures (P3). For P3, the insects' stomach contents were removed and washed, while the vegetables were rinsed under running water and then dried before being fed to the reptiles. The morphology of Oxyurida eggs found in each group was examined using native and flotation techniques, while, the McMaster technique was carried out for infection intensity measurement. Data observed was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test to evaluate the significance of the treatment effects, and the Kruskal-Wallis test to examine the associations. It showed that Pharyngodon sp. was found in all feed groups. A significant relationship (P < 0.05) was found between feed type, feed hygiene, and the infection rate of Pharyngodon sp. Conversely, the group which received the same type of feed but adhered to stringent feed hygiene protocols exhibited a significant fewer infection. This study highlights the critical importance of proper feeding management and feed hygiene in maintaining the health of Bearded dragon, particularly in preventing oxyurida infections

Descriptions of Scientific Evidence and Uncertainty of Unproven COVID-19 Therapies in US News: Content Analysis Study (Preprint)
Authors: Watson Sara , Benning Tyler J , Marcon Alessandro R , Zhu Xuan , Caulfield Timothy , Sharp Richard R , Master Zubin
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Politicization and misinformation or disinformation of unproven COVID-19 therapies have resulted in communication challenges in presenting science to the public, especially in times of heightened public trepidation and uncertainty.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to examine how scientific evidence and uncertainty were portrayed in US news on 3 unproven COVID-19 therapeutics, prior to the development of proven therapeutics and vaccines.

METHODS

We conducted a media analysis of unproven COVID-19 therapeutics in early 2020. A total of 479 discussions of unproven COVID-19 therapeutics (hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir, and convalescent plasma) in traditional and online US news reports from January 1, 2020, to July 30, 2020, were systematically analyzed for theme, scientific evidence, evidence details and limitations, safety, efficacy, and sources of authority.

RESULTS

The majority of discussions included scientific evidence (n=322, 67%) although only 24% (n=116) of them mentioned publications. “Government” was the most frequently named source of authority for safety and efficacy claims on remdesivir (n=43, 35%) while “expert” claims were mostly mentioned for convalescent plasma (n=22, 38%). Most claims on hydroxychloroquine (n=236, 79%) were offered by a “prominent person,” of which 97% (n=230) were from former US President Trump. Despite the inclusion of scientific evidence, many claims of the safety and efficacy were made by nonexperts. Few news reports expressed scientific uncertainty in discussions of unproven COVID-19 therapeutics as limitations of evidence were infrequently included in the body of news reports (n=125, 26%) and rarely found in headlines (n=2, 2%) or lead paragraphs (n=9, 9%; P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

These results highlight that while scientific evidence is discussed relatively frequently in news reports, scientific uncertainty is infrequently reported and rarely found in prominent headlines and lead paragraphs.

Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Persons with multiple chronic conditions face complex medical regimens and clinicians may not focus on what matters most to these patients who vary widely in their health priorities. Patient Priorities Care is a facilitator-led process designed to identify patients’ priorities and align decision-making and care, but the need for a facilitator has limited its widespread adoption.

OBJECTIVE

The aims of this study are to design and test mechanisms for patients to complete a self-directed process for identifying priorities and providing their priorities to clinicians.

METHODS

The study involved patients of at least 65 years of age at 2 family medicine practices with 5 physicians each. We first tested 2 versions of an interactive website and asked patients to bring their results to their visit. We then tested an Epic previsit questionnaire derived from the website’s questions and included standard previsit materials. We completed postintervention phone interviews and an online survey with participating patients and collected informal feedback and conducted a focus group with participating physicians.

RESULTS

In the test of the first website version, 17.3% (35/202) of invited patients went to the website, 11.4% (23/202) completed all of the questions, 2.5% (5/202) brought results to their visits, and the median session time was 43.0 (IQR 28.0) minutes. Patients expressed confusion about bringing results to the visit. After clarifying that issue in the second version, 15.1% (32/212) of patients went to the website, 14.6% (31/212) completed the questions, 1.9% (4/212) brought results to the visit, and the median session time was 35.0 (IQR 35.0) minutes. In the test of the Epic questionnaire, 26.4% (198/750) of patients completed the questionnaire before at least 1 visit, and the median completion time was 14.0 (IQR 23.0) minutes. The 8 main questions were answered 62.9% (129/205) to 95.6% (196/205) of the time. Patients who completed questionnaires were younger than those who did not (72.3 vs 76.1 years) and were more likely to complete at least 1 of their other assigned questionnaires (99.5%, 197/198) than those who did not (10.3%, 57/552). A total of 140 of 198 (70.7%) patients responded to a survey, and 86 remembered completing the questionnaire; 78 (90.7%) did not remember having difficulty answering the questions and 57 (68.7%) agreed or somewhat agreed that it helped them and their clinicians to understand their priorities. Doctors noted that the sickest patients did not complete the questionnaire and that the discussion provided a good segue into end-of-life care.

CONCLUSIONS

Embedding questionnaires assaying patient priorities into patient portals holds promise for expanding access to priorities-concordant care.

UNSTRUCTURED

Technology-assisted physical activity interventions for older adults in their home-based environment have been used to promote physical activity. While previous reviews focused on health-related outcomes of such interventions, this scoping review explores the characteristics of the technology in relation to the characteristics of populations, exercise types and usability in terms of adverse events, drop-outs, adherence and user experience.
We identified 8496 sources. After title and abstract screening, 455 full texts were assessed, and 148 were included, representing 12,717 participants aged 74 (SD 6) years. In total, 93 (63%) sources reported on the population’s health status. The main purpose of the interventions was balance (51%), and strength and power (43%) and intervention purposes were not related to embedded technology. In studies where the participant’s health status was reported as healthy, 53% implemented exergames compared to only 27% in studies with participants with a clinical condition. Mobile apps (20%) and trackers (11%) were implemented likewise in both groups. The technology was embedded to provide continuous exercise information (27%) and exercise feedback (27%) or to record real-time movement data (26%).
Adverse events were reported in 68 (46%) of the sources with three quarters (49 sources) reporting no adverse events. Only 2 mild events were related to technology. Dropout rates were reported in 100 (68%) studies, with no differences between intervention (16±16%) and control (14±12%) groups. Dropout reasons related to technology in 3%. Adherence was reported in 78 studies (53%) and was slightly higher in the intervention group (80±18%) compared to the control group (71±25%). A significantly higher adherence was found between interventions that were tailored (83 ± 15%) versus those that were not (75±21%). General enjoyment of the technology was captured in 55 studies (37%) and was rated positive (91%), neutral (7%) or negative (2%). Occasionally reported wishes were related to goal setting, feedback, technical support, exercise variation, and social setting.
In conclusion, various technologies were successfully used in healthy and clinical older populations. The embedded technology was not a reason for additional dropouts, lead to slightly better adherence, and adverse events were rarely related to technology. When assessed, the technology was well accepted and positively enjoyed.

Anaerobic infection is one of the severe wound infections caused by anaerobic microorganisms. According to statistical data, patients with complications of anaerobic infection have a high mortality rate, so early diagnosis and appropriate therapy are a key to the effective treatment of this pathology. To date, very few clinical cases with a combined effective treatment for anaerobic wound infection have been described. This article considers the step-by-step diagnosis and treatment for anaerobic infection in a serviceman who was injured as a result of military operations.
How to prevent complications in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a critical view of safety
Authors: Chooklin S.M. , Chuklin S.S.
Published: August 2024

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with a higher incidence of biliary/vasculary injuries than open cholecystectomy. Anatomical misperception is the most common underlying mechanism of such injuries. The critical view of safety (CVS) has been shown to be a good way of getting secure anatomical identification. It is highly recommended by various guidelines. Conceptually, CVS is a method of target identification, with the targets being the two cystic structures. It entails three basic steps as follows: 1) complete clearance of fibrous and fatty tissue from the hepatocystic triangle, 2) separation of the lower part of the gallbladder from the cystic plate, so that 3) two and only two structures are seen entering the gallbladder. Sometimes, anatomic identification is not possible because the risk of biliary injury is judged to be too great. The critical view of safety can be achieved in most cases during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, its poor understanding and low adoption rates among practicing surgeons have been global problems. Increasing awareness about the critical view of safety can increase its use in routine surgical practice.

Published: August 2024

Inadequate understanding of the meaning of cocoa seedlings fertilization during the nursery stage is a significant problem in the performance and profitability of cacao crops, as it negatively affects cacao yield. Therefore, it is crucial to make adequate fertilization plans and, on the other hand to replenish the nutrients extracted and preserve soil health. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different doses of N, P, K, Ca and Mg fertilizers on the growth and development of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.,) seedlings (FEAR-5), under nursery conditions. A completely randomized design was used, with five treatments and three replications. Treatments were defined according to fertilization recommendations for cocoa seedlings (2 to 6 months old) (i.e., N 2.4g; P 0.6g; K 2.4g; Ca 2.3g; and Mg 1.1g) with this we came up with five treatments based on soil analysis: Treatments: T1= recommended fertilization, T2= based on a soil analysis and the addition of 7 g Ca and 3.2 g Mg; T3= 50% of recommended fertilization; T4= 150% of recommended fertilization; and T5= no fertilizer application. Our results indicate that the plants subjected to T2 showed better performance in the variables plant height, stem diameter, leaf area, number of leaves, leaf area, fresh and dry weight of the stem, fresh and dry weight and total fresh and dry weight of the seedlings. In economic terms, T4 had the highest costs. The highest profitability was recorded by T5, despite the low performance in the physiological variables.
On the connection between least squares, regularization, and classical shadows
Authors: Zhu Zhihui , Lukens Joseph M. , Kirby Brian T.
Published: August 2024

Classical shadows (CS) offer a resource-efficient means to estimate quantum observables, circumventing the need for exhaustive state tomography. Here, we clarify and explore the connection between CS techniques and least squares (LS) and regularized least squares (RLS) methods commonly used in machine learning and data analysis. By formal identification of LS and RLS ``shadows'' completely analogous to those in CS---namely, point estimators calculated from the empirical frequencies of single measurements---we show that both RLS and CS can be viewed as regularizers for the underdetermined regime, replacing the pseudoinverse with invertible alternatives. Through numerical simulations, we evaluate RLS and CS from three distinct angles: the tradeoff in bias and variance, mismatch between the expected and actual measurement distributions, and the interplay between the number of measurements and number of shots per measurement.

Compared to CS, RLS attains lower variance at the expense of bias, is robust to distribution mismatch, and is more sensitive to the number of shots for a fixed number of state copies---differences that can be understood from the distinct approaches taken to regularization. Conceptually, our integration of LS, RLS, and CS under a unifying ``shadow'' umbrella aids in advancing the overall picture of CS techniques, while practically our results highlight the tradeoffs intrinsic to these measurement approaches, illuminating the circumstances under which either RLS or CS would be preferred, such as unverified randomness for the former or unbiased estimation for the latter.
How do you solve number pattern problems through mathematical semiotics analysis and computational thinking?
Authors: Purwasih Ratni , Turmudi  , Dahlan Jarnawi Afgani
Published: August 2024

Some countries, including Indonesia, have a framework for understanding how students receive and process math concepts as new knowledge through learning styles. Learning style, particularly Kolb's model, is one of the learning styles that contribute to students' success in learning. Experts have explored the characteristics of Kolb's learning style and found many effects on student learning outcomes as a starting point in learning mathematical concepts. However, the research still focuses on exploring integer operation materials in specific math abilities. The researchers hardly found any discourse to study, such as exploring number patterns in computational thinking and semiotic mathematics. Therefore, this study aims to explore mathematical semiotics and computational thinking on number patterns in terms of Kolb's learning style model. This research uses hermeneutic phenomenology to explore through written tests and interviews. An explanation of the components, characteristics, and semiotic characteristics of mathematical and computational thinking seen in students who have the Kolb model of learning in solving problems of number patterns is part of the interpretation. These findings can be used as benchmarks in developing mathematics materials. Thus, this knowledge is a concrete foundation to guide future advances in curriculum, assessment methods, and learning approaches in mathematics education, particularly in algebra.
IMPLEMENTING OF FINES IN DEFAULT OF ONLINE SALES ENTRUSTMENT CONTRACT BASED ON TA'WIDH IN THE SAMSARAH CONTRACT
Authors: Arif Hidayat
Published: August 2024

Consigngaming and Unbranded_Store are online shops that are engaged in selling electronic goods from entrusted sellers. The operational principle of the two online shops is to mediate sellers and buyers in sales transactions of electronic and informatics products with standard agreements and conditions set by the online shop, one of the dictums of which contains provisions for fines for defaults on the seller's part. This fine is the focus of the study with the problem of how to determine the amount of the fine to the seller who violates the dictum of the Consigngaming and Unbranded_Store sales agreement, the effectiveness of applying fines to reduce the level of default on the part of the seller and review of the samsarah contract on the determination of fines for seller defaults. To meet scientific standards, the authors designed a research procedure with stages, namely a normative sociological research approach, a descriptive analytical research type with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation. The results of his research are that the determination of fines in Consigngaming is based on the percentage of the price of goods set by the seller, and the Unbranded_Store fine value is fixed which is stated in the general provisions of the transaction that the seller must comply with. The fines imposed by these two consignments, although the procedures are different, have been able to reduce the potential for sellers to commit defaults which could harm Consigngamig and Unbranded_Store management in terms of performance and branding as online stores that have credible business qualifications and can significantly reduce the level of seller defaults. Determination and imposition of fines for seller's default on both consignments as a business based on a samsarah contract is in accordance with the concept of ta'widh and the scholars allow the application of the ta'widh which is implemented based on the agreement of the parties in the consigmnet agreement (samsarah) as long as the dictum does not conflict with the provisions syara'.

INTERNALISASI NILAI-NILAI ISLAM DALAM PEMBENTUKAN KARAKTER PADA MATERI IKATAN KIMIA
Authors: Yulian Muammar
Published: August 2024

Pendidikan merupakan proses yang berkelanjutan dan tidak semata bertujuan untuk menghasilkan peserta didik yang memiliki kompetensi pada aspek pengetahuan namun juga memiliki kompetensi sosial serta berkarakter dalam menghadapi tantangan masa depan yang serba kompleks. Pembentukan karakter tersebut diantaranya dapat dilakukan melalui internalisasi nilai-nilai Islam pada materi yang diajarkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji nilai-nilai Islam yang dapat diinternalisasikan pada materi ikatan kimia, sehingga berperan dalam membentuk karakter yang mulia sebagai pribadi yang paripurna. Konsep unsur-unsur saling berikatan untuk memenuhi kaidah oktet atau duplet dalam mencapai kestabilan merupakan isyarat ilmiah akan kebenaran firman Allah dalam surat Az-Dzariat ayat 49. Konsep ikatan kimia ini juga mengandung pesan jika kestabilan atau ketenteraman dalam hidup ini akan lebih mudah kita peroleh dengan menjalin ikatan silaturrahim dengan sesama. Hal ini sesuai dengan hadist Nabi tentang keutamaan menjalin silaturrahim yang akan memperoleh kelapangan rezeki dan memperpanjang usia. Ikatan ion yang terbentuk akibat adanya gaya tarik menarik antara ion positif dan ion negatif memberikan isyarat bagi kita agar dapat menghargai perbedaan serta dapat menyatukan dan mengisi kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing menjadi sebuah potensi yang lebih baik. Adapun pemakaian pasangan elektron secara bersama baik pada ikatan kovalen maupun kovalen koordinasi mengajarkan kepada kita untuk bersikap dermawan.
Real-Time Monitoring System and IOT Smart Parking Booking (Case study: One Hotel in Tangerang)

Since cars and motorbikes are the most popular personal mobility, public spaces must always provide enough parking for every visitor. However, occasionally there are more parking spaces available than there are guests, which makes it difficult for visitors to find an empty spot and takes a while. It can be found in the case study conducted in a hotel in Tangerang. This case study informs the development of an Internet of Things (IoT) smart parking system that uses Wi-Fi and the MQTT communication protocol to monitor user behavior, identify available parking spaces, and recognize vehicle entry. The ESP8266 microcontroller serves as the sensor node. Other sensors that are used include the RFID RC-522 sensor to determine how long a car user has been in the area, the Servo SG92R infrared (IR) sensor to detect the presence of a vehicle, and the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to detect parking spaces. The outcomes showed that the Thingsboard platform's monitoring capability and the ability to reserve particular parking spaces using an MIT App Inventor app proved the smart parking system's successful implementation.
El proyecto neoliberal en Costa Rica (1984-2024). Orígenes, implantación y evolución
Authors: Vargas-Solís Luis Paulino
Published: August 2024

El Proyecto Neoliberal surge en Costa Rica a partir del diagnóstico que, por entonces, se volvió dominante, según el cual el viejo Proyecto Desarrollista se había «agotado». Desde las propuestas iniciales –desregulación financiera, apertura comercial, supresión de las formas tradicionales de proteccionismo, liberalización de los flujos de capitales, neoproteccionismo exportador– se avanzará progresivamente en un proceso que, con el tiempo, tendrá algunas mutaciones importantes, configurando así nuevas etapas en el devenir del Proyecto. Este ha sido muy exitoso en la atracción de capitales extranjeros y en la dinamización de las exportaciones originadas en zonas francas. Pero de ese mismo éxito surgen sus más graves problemas, que se expresan en una economía dualizada, y en un conjunto de presiones competitivas negativas sobre el resto de la economía fuera de zonas francas. Son problemas estructurales que afectan negativamente el empleo, los ingresos de la población, la sostenibilidad de las finanzas públicas y, en último término, la equidad distributiva.
La educación costarricense de 1980 al 2024 y el Proyecto Educativo Nacional (PEN) para redefinir su rumbo en el siglo XXI
Authors: Chaves-Salas Ana Lupita
Published: August 2024

El presente texto tiene como propósito analizar el desempeño de la educación costarricense en las últimas cuatro décadas, en términos de financiamiento, cobertura, equidad y calidad; asimismo, identificar sus principales problemas y desafíos. El análisis se realiza tomando en cuenta el contexto económico, político y social, y se organiza en dos periodos: de 1980 al 2000 y del 2001 al 2024. La investigación bibliográfica permite analizar de manera crítica lo acontecido en el sistema educativo costarricense durante el periodo de estudio. Se concluye que la educación no ha sido prioridad para el Estado costarricense, a partir del modelo económico asumido durante este periodo, lo cual se refleja en el decrecimiento de la inversión en este campo. Este hecho, así como la diversidad en la oferta de formación de docentes y la pandemia, ha producido un deterioro profundo en la educación costarricense. De continuarse así, se acentuarán las desigualdades, la exclusión social, la pobreza, la violencia, la delincuencia, el narcotráfico y el crimen organizado. Ante esta situación, se ofrece como propuesta la construcción colectiva de un Proyecto Educativo Nacional (PEN) para el mejoramiento de la educación costarricense, que se dirija a promover el desarrollo humano al que aspiramos como sociedad.

Gaharu merupakan komoditas hasil hutan non kayu yang bernilai komersial tinggi. Untuk mendukung tersedianya bahan tanam dalam upaya pembudidayaan tanaman  Gaharu berkualitas, maka salah satu upaya dalam penyedian bibit perlu didukung oleh tersedianya media tanam bibit yang baik dan tepat Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh komposisi media tanam terhadap sifat fisika tanah dan pertumbuhan bibit gaharu. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Persemaian BPDASHL di Kampus Universitas Tadulako Palu. Penelitian dimulai Februari sampai Juni 2023. Penelitian ditata dan dianalisis dengan Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK), dengan perlakuan yang dicobakan adalah: M1 = tanah, sekam padi bakar, pupuk kandang kambing 1:0:0 v/v; M2 = dengan perbandingan 1:1,25:0,25 v/v; M3 = 1:1,5:0,5 v/v; M4 = 1:1,75:0,75 v/v; dan M5 = 1:2:1 v/v. dengan ulangan 4 kali. Pengamatan yaitu pertumbuhan tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, berat kering tanaman, bobot isi tanah, porositas tanah dan kadar air kapasitas lapang. Hasil analisis menunjukkan  perlakuan M3= 1:1,5:0,5 v/v,  meningkatkan pertambahan tinggi tanaman hingga 27,47 cm, jumlah daun 12,33 helai, dan berat kering tanaman 5,13 g. Analisis sifat fisika tanah diperoleh  bobot isi tanah  perlakuan kontrol dengan kriteria berat (1,65 g/cm3) dan semakin tinggi dosis arang sekam maka bobot isi tanah menurun (M5 = 0,88 g/cm3), sebaliknya porositas tanah semakin meningkat (M5 = 66,47%), peningkatan dosis pupuk kandang meningkatkan kadar air kapasitas lapang tanah.
