Published: February 2024

We aimed to evaluate the clinical effects of oxytocin, misopros-tol, controlled-release dinoprostone suppository, and Cook® cervical ripening balloon on early termination of pregnancy in high-risk parturients. Four hun-dred high-risk full-term parturients not in labor who were unsuitable for await-ing delivery and treated from May 2018 to July 2020 were divided into groups I-IV with a random number table (n=100). They received labor induction by oxytocin, misoprostol, controlled-release dinoprostone suppository, and Cook® cervical ripening balloon, respectively. The general data, cervical ripening ef-fect, delivery outcome, delivery time, adverse reactions, and neonatal condi-tions were compared. The time from the beginning of labor induction to labor and duration of the first, third, and total stages of labor were shorter in group II-IV than in group I (p<0.05). The incidence rates of excessive uterine contrac-tion in groups II and III were higher than those of groups I and IV, and the inci-dence rates of fetal distress in groups I-III exceeded that of group IV (p<0.05). The neonatal Apgar scores of groups III and IV were higher than those of groups I and II (p<0.05). Cook® cervical ripening can promote cervical maturation and shorten the labor induction time and stage of labor.

Published: February 2024

Appendicitis is an inflammation of the appendix that, if left un-treated, can be life-threatening. Abdominal ultrasound helps diagnose it and differentiate it from other causes of abdominal pain. This study aimed to evalu-ate the diagnostic value of abdominal ultrasound in acute appendicitis (AA) and assess inflammatory factor levels in different types of appendicitis. One hundred patients with AA were selected as the observation group, and 30 pa-tients with simple abdominal pain as the control group. Among the 100 AA patients, 37 (37%) cases had blurred appendiceal boundaries, 24 (24%) cases had fecal calculus in the appendix cavity, 13 (13%) cases had enhanced echo intensity of surrounding fat, 15 (15%) cases presented enlarged outer diameter of the appendix (> 6mm), one (1%) case had peripheral lymphadenopathy, and one (1%) case had peripheral effusion. None of the cases (0%) presented a pe-ripheral mass. The levels of white blood cells (WBC) and inflammatory factors: C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL -6), and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)) patients with uncomplicated appendicitis were lower than those with suppurative appendicitis, gangrenous appendicitis, or peri-appendiceal abscess (p <0.05). The blurred boundary of the appendix, fecal stones in the appendix cavity, an enlarged outer diameter of the appendix (> 6mm), and an enhanced echogenicity of the surrounding fat are the most common ultrasonic signs of AA. Abdominal ultrasound has an excellent diagnostic value on pathological types of AA. The increase in the level of inflammatory factors can indicate the severity of the disease to a certain extent.

Published: February 2024

Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a precancerous atrophic gastritis of the stomach, which generates an urge to develop novel therapeu-tic schedules. This study aimed to investigate the effect of experimental folic acid administration on N-methyl-N’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced CAG through the PI3K/Akt pathway in rats. The rats were divided into a Model Group, a Folic Acid Group and a Blank Group. Rats in the Model Group were induced by MNNG and given 10 mL/kg/d distilled water by gavage, while rats in the Folic Acid Group were induced by MNNG and given 5 mg/kg/d folic acid suspension by gavage. As a control, rats in the Blank Group were given the same amount of distilled water as MNNG and 10 mL/kg/d distilled water by gavage. The levels of gastrin (GAS) and motilin (MTL) in serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the mRNA and protein ex-pressions were detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR) and Western blot. According to hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) pathological analysis, there were inflammatory factors infiltration and derangement of mucosal epi-thelial cells in the model group, while the gastric tissue injury in the folic acid group was improved. Folic acid could decrease the content of GAS, increase the content of MTL in the serum of the rats, and regulate the expression of PI3K and AKT signal pathways. Folic acid can have a therapeutic effect on CAG by reducing the concentration of GAS in serum and increasing the concentration of MLT in serum. Our study would lay a theoretical foundation for using folic acid to investigate new therapies for CAG in humans.
Analyzing Local Tax Revenue Optimization Strategies Using The SOAR Approach: A Case Study In Susu City
Authors: Antoro Aji Fajar Suryo , Thaha Abdurrahman Rahim
Published: February 2024

This study uses the SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, Results) approach to analyze the factors that influence local tax revenue in Boyolali Regency, Central Java. Although regional autonomy provides opportunities, dependence on central transfers is still high. The last five years of data show good target achievement, but the contribution of local own-source revenue (PAD) to the total revenue of the Regional Budget (APBD) is relatively small. Qualitative methods with a post-positivism paradigm were used, and triangulation was carried out based on the results of interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study found that Boyolali Regency has not fully met the criteria or standards in the formulation of strategies to increase tax revenue according to the SOAR framework. The strengths of Boyolali Regency lie in the size of its government area, which is the basis of the PBB object, as well as the diversity of local culture. Opportunities are the large number of PBB objects that are still not registered as tax objects and the large amount of uncollected tax receivables. Aspirations are not taken seriously, and the measurement of results has not fully considered the real potential of local tax revenue. In facing this challenge, further efforts are needed to formulate a more comprehensive strategy involving various parties. Suggestions for BKD Boyolali are to consider the utilization of local culture, expansion of the PBB base, increased cooperation that provides added value, increased community participation, and setting targets in accordance with existing regional potential. And the suggestion to the next researcher is to do a comparison with other objects or methods. With the implementation of the right strategy, it is expected to reduce dependence on the transfer of funds from the central government and achieve an increase in local tax revenue and a positive contribution to regional development.

Published: February 2024

Aim - The present investigation was done with an aim to evaluate and compare the effect of two chromatogens on color stability of three provisional materials before and after thermocycling. Materials and methods - Three commercially available provisional materials were chosen - DPI heat cure, Protemp™4 chemical cure and the relatively newer Luxatemp Solar dual cure material. Flat circular metallic dies were prepared of 22 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness. Total 150 samples were prepared from the materials using these dies. The samples were finished and polished using standardized methods. They were divided into five groups. Two groups from each material were subjected to a standardized thermocycling regimen. The samples were immersed in two staining solutions - coffee solution and sambhar curry solution for 30 days. Artificial saliva was used for the control group. The solutions were prepared using a standardized method and were changed every day. The color measurements were done twice - once before thermocycling and staining and once after, in CIE L*a*b* color system using a reflectance spectrophotometer. Results – Statistical analysis was done in SPSS version 20.0 using One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test. p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Conclusions – New material Luxatemp Solar showed least color stability, followed by Protemp™4 whereas DPI showed maximum color stability. Sambhar curry showed higher staining ability. The color changes seen with coffee and control were not clinically perceptible. Thermocycled samples showed more color change than non thermocycled samples.

Authors: Chandranata Adi , Kurniadi Dedi , Aryananda Fiky
Published: February 2024

In the current era, land for farming is increasingly decreasing because the population is so large that agricultural land is being converted into residential land. To enable people to continue farming, especially in urban areas, one of the existing solutions is to use the aeroponic method. In this research, the Internet of Things-based aeroponic lettuce plant nutrition control system found that the TDS sensor was able to maintain the stability of the ppm value of the solution (560-840) ppm according to the needs of the lettuce plant by triggering a peristaltic pump to actively fill the nutrient solution when the ppm value was detected below the set point. The DHT22 sensor is capable of detecting temperatures in the range of 27-33°C and humidity of 70% - 95%. The ultrasonic sensor in the system is used to measure the water level in the box. In this system, to regulate the level of the nutrient solution using a TDS sensor, an average reading value of 675.08 ppm was obtained. The duration of watering and the level of the nutrient solution are done automatically and can be monitored via smartphone so there is no need to check manually every day.

Authors: Mukanema Maona , Simate Isaac N.
Published: February 2024

The energy, exergy and economic analysis of a mixed-mode natural convection solar tunnel dryer for drying banana slices is presented. The collector, drying chamber and chimney energy and exergy are analysed for a load of 3.75 kg of fresh banana slices. Further, the economic analysis in terms of Net Present Value (NPV), Profitability Index (PI), the Payback Period (PB) and the Discounted Payback Period are presented. Drying experiments were done in a period of two days. During the experiment, solar radiation varied from 206.1 W/m2 to 934.5 W/m2; drying chamber temperature varied from 51.7ºC to 81.84ºC while the ambient temperature varied from 21.7ºC to 31.9ºC. The relative humidity ranged from 4.63% to 28.46% for the drying chamber and, 14.9% to 31.8% for the ambient. Under these conditions, the moisture content of the bananas was reduced from 73.89% to 14.27% in seven hours of drying on the first day. Energy and exergy efficiencies ranged from 5.56% to 57.32%, and 0.33% to 2.81%, respectively on Day 1. For Day 2 the energy and exergy efficiencies were from 14.15% to 59.16%, and 0.75% to 3.76%, respectively. For the drying chamber, the efficiency increased gradually in the first two hours to a maximum of 5.36%, corresponding to the period when there was maximum evaporation. The chimney, which is a bare flat plate type without glazing and insulation, lost heat from its surfaces. Nonetheless, it generated enough buoyancy to move air through the dryer. With the solar dryer lifespan of 10 years and the Discounted Payback Period of four years, the project is attractive and worth investing in.
The Influence of Neurotic Personality Traits on Excessive Short Video Usage
Authors: Gong Ziqi
Published: February 2024

This study focuses on the influence of neuroticism on the tendency to consume a high amount of short videos, revealing the internal flow as well as paths that lead to it. The study used a cohort of 513 undergraduates and employed tools such as the Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory (in the brief form), the Short Video Addiction Scale, the Flow Experience Scale, and the Brief Self-Control Scale. Findings from this research underscore that: - The loading of neuroticism on the overuse of short videos are significantly positive; - The effect of neuroticism on the overindulgence of short video content acts through two routes: First, an indirect path of self-control and flow, and second, a serial mediation path between self-control and flow. The comprehensive analysis explains excessive consumption of short video content that gives birth to the guidance on strategies of prevention and correction that will be aimed at college students. This thoughtful analysis adds value to the discussion related to digital behaviors and their psychological roots.

Do enterprise risk management practices and ESG performance influence firm value of banks? Evidence from ASEAN countries
Authors: Denia Adiva Putri , Sukmadilaga Citra , Ghani Erlane K
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the impact of enterprise risk management (ERM) practices and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance on firm value both individually and collectively, within the context of five ASEAN nations. This study used a dataset consisting of annual reports over a two-year timeframe (2021–2022) from a total of 29 banks that are publicly listed on the stock exchanges in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines. The results of this study indicate that ESG performance has a statistically significant positive impact on firm value. However, the effect of ERM practices on firm value is shown to be positive but lacks statistical significance. The findings also indicate that the combined influence of ERM procedures and ESG performance has a positive effect on company value, while the impact is statistically insignificant. According to the study's findings, the impact of the variables under investigation on firm value may account for a sizable portion of them, or 71.8%. The results of this study suggest that companies should adopt a consistent enterprise risk management (ERM) approach to enhance the accessibility of ERM-related information. This will ensure that investors are not only reliant on quantitative outcomes from a company, which may aid in their investment decision-making process. This study provides new insights for investors on the influence of ERM practices and ESG performance on the firm value of banks in developing countries, especially in ASEAN countries.
Depicting areas of indigenous Australian women’s subjugation under imperialism: An indigenous feminist study of Jack Davis's No Sugar and Eva Johnson's Murras
Authors: Alanazi Maha S
Published: February 2024

This study aims to examine the portrayal of the oppression of Indigenous women in post-colonial drama  focusing on themes of sexual violence, enforced sterilization  and the Stolen Generation as depicted in Davis's No Sugar and Johnson's Murras. A qualitative analysis of these plays reveals the intertwining of sexual exploitation with colonial and imperial conquest. Rape and sexual abuse of Indigenous women are seen as metaphors for land exploitation and political subjugation. The findings of the study indicate a systemic violation of Indigenous women's rights. Indigenous women are sexually assaulted in both Murras and No Sugar which demonstrates imperialist control over their bodies.  Another theme that develops is forced sterilization as shown in Murras in which indigenous young women are made sterile without their consent, symbolising a greater assault on aboriginal culture.  The trauma of the Stolen Generation is outlined in both plays depicting the forced removal of Indigenous children from their families, severing cultural and familial bonds   and originating a generational identity crisis. The preservation of Indigenous identity through women’s stories and traditional practices emerges as a significant aspect of resistance against colonial oppression. The selected plays underscore the role of Indigenous women in sustaining and transmitting cultural narratives and practices which is essential for preserving Indigenous identity and spirit. The findings of the research need a more in-depth understanding of the historical and ongoing oppression of indigenous women as well as a need for reparative justice.

This research uses qualitative research with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques use observation, interviews and documentation studies. The data validation technique uses triangulation, namely triangulation of data sources. The data validation technique uses the Miles and Hubermen model which consists of data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions and verification. The results of this research are as follows. Firstly, accessibility at the West Sumatra Provincial Archives and Library Service has not yet been fully realized because there are still many shortcomings found in the implementation of accessibility services for people with disabilities, such as the ease of library users in meeting their needs has not been fully realized and the only library material collections available are books with braille printing. Second, accessibility at the West Sumatra Archives and Library Service based on the IFLA Checklist Standard reached 40.54%. Thus, it can be said that accessibility for users with disabilities in the Archives and Library Service is still not in accordance with the IFLA Checklist standards. The research results from the IFLA Checklist standard amounted to 111 items which were 45 items which were appropriate while which were 66 items which were not appropriate. Third, the obstacles faced by the West Sumatra Province Archives and Library Service in fulfilling accessibility for disabled users from various aspects such as the lack of available funding, lack of technical knowledge of implementation, and limited human resources who are competent in providing services for users with special needs or disabilities.
Recognition of Handwritten Mathematical Expressions Using Systems of Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: Rowney Tate , Iliev Alexander I.
Published: February 2024

Accurate recognition of handwritten mathematical expressions has proven difficult due to their two-dimensional structure. Various machine-learning techniques have previously been employed to transcribe handwritten math, including approaches based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and larger encoder/decoder-based models. In this work, we explore a CNN-based method for transcribing handwritten math expressions into the typesetting language known as LaTeX. This approach utilizes machine learning not only for classifying individual characters but also for extracting individual characters from handwritten inputs and determining what forms of two-dimensionality exist within the expression. This approach achieves significant reliability when recognizing common mathematical expressions.

Authors: Comas d’Argemir Adelina , Sancho Mayte , Zalakain Joseba
Published: February 2024

La gestión de la COVID-19 evidenció múltiples carencias en el sistema de cuidados de larga duración español. Hay consenso sobre la necesidad de dejar atrás modelos institucionales y avanzar hacia un enfoque centrado en las personas, devolviendo el peso de los apoyos y los cuidados al entorno domiciliario y comunitario en coherencia con los deseos expresados por la ciudadanía. El paradigma de la personalización se identifica como concepto central del modelo que se está construyendo. En este artículo se ofrecen algunas reflexiones sobre estos asuntos. Se analizará, en primer lugar, la pertinencia de la actual diferenciación entre cuidados y apoyos. En segundo lugar, se tratarán las contribuciones de la asistencia personal en el marco de un enfoque de atención que pretende el desarrollo de la autonomía y la autodeterminación de las personas. Por último, se considerarán las repercusiones de la personalización en el acceso y la contratación de servicios, incluyendo los obtenidos a través de prestaciones económicas.
Los servicios sociales en su laberinto
Authors: Aguilar Hendrickson Manuel
Published: February 2024

Los servicios sociales son un campo de las políticas públicas sometido a cambios y tensiones importantes. Estas tensiones y transformaciones tienen sus raíces tanto en cambios sociales profundos como en dificultades internas del sector. Este artículo trata de aportar al debate una aproximación a las raíces de estas tensiones, y algunas de las posibles vías de desarrollo. Solo trata de algunos de los problemas institucionales o estructurales del sector, sin entrar en los problemas de la práctica y la acción concreta que desarrollan los servicios sociales. Abordaremos, en primer lugar, algunos elementos generales sobre el origen y la naturaleza de las tensiones; en segundo lugar, trataremos de discutir si tiene sentido hablar de los servicios sociales con un único espacio o sector, o si se trata de un conjunto de cosas muy diversas; en tercer lugar, intentaremos identificar algunas de las posibles vías de desarrollo futuro de estos campos.

Gipuzkoan Bizimodu Independentearen Programa onartu zenetik ia 20 urte igaro dira, eta desgaitasunaren arloko arauen eta politiken bilakaera kontuan hartuta, beharrezkotzat jo da programa ebaluatzea. Horretarako, alderdi orokorrak (parte-hartzaileen profilaren ezaugarriak, sarbidearekin, parte-hartzearekin eta Programaren garapenean izandako gorabeherekin lotutako gaiak), sozialak (gizarteratze-mailaren azterketa), psikosozialak (ongizate emozionalean eta desgaitasuna duten pertsonen ahalduntzean eragiten duen modua) eta ekonomikoak (inbertsio publikoaren errentagarritasun ekonomikoa) jorratu dira. Ebaluazioak aukera eman du programak hasieran planteatutako helburuak lortzen zer neurritan lagundu duen aztertzeko eta ondorioztatzeko, bai eta desgaitasunaren arloko foru-politikak Desgaitasuna Duten Pertsonen Eskubideei buruzko Konbentzioaren eskakizunetara erabat egokitzeko hobekuntzaneurriak zehazteko ere.
Antigitanismo e interseccionalidad: un análisis multinivel (Europa, España y Euskadi)
Authors: Cortés Ismael
Published: February 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar, desde un enfoque multinivel, el antigitanismo y, en particular, las estrategias que se han puesto en marcha recientemente para combatirlo. Para ello, se traza la génesis del compromiso del Parlamento Europeo, iniciado en 2017, con la resolución aprobada sobre el cumplimiento de los derechos fundamentales de las comunidades gitanas en la Unión Europea. Este documento germinal generó una ramificación de iniciativas cívicas y políticas que han llevado la lucha contra el antigitanismo a distintos contextos nacionales y locales. Partiendo de una panorámica europea, el artículo se centra en los avances que se han producido en España a través del Pacto de Estado contra el Antigitanismo. El artículo termina con una mirada reflexiva sobre los procesos de lucha contra el antigitanismo que se han puesto en marcha en Euskadi, prestando especial atención a la intersección entre etnia y género a la luz de las aportaciones de los movimientos sociales romaníes.
Territórios vulneráveis e o direito à água nas bacias hidrográficas dos rios Piracicaba, Capivari e Jundiaí

Published: February 2024

Objetivo: o trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar se nas Bacias Hidrográficas dos Rios Piracicaba, Capivari e Jundiaí – Bacias PCJ –, os gestores dimensionam, integram ou preveem o direito à água e ao saneamento para populações que, por sua condição social, econômica ou de distribuição geográfica, encontram-se em situação de vulnerabilidade territorial.
Metodologia: o caminho metodológico adotado consistiu na revisão bibliográfica de literatura e da análise pontual do Relatório de Situação dos Recursos Hídricos nas Bacias PCJ 2021 – Ano Base 2020.
Originalidade/Relevância: a relevância e originalidade do estudo consiste em mostrar, em sua metodologia e resultados, como a vulnerabilidade territorial está entre os principais desafios estratégicos da gestão sustentável dos recursos hídricos. A contribuição acadêmica mais significativa é a proposição de mecanismos teóricos que sustentam o alcance da universalidade do atendimento dos serviços de abastecimento e, também, as dificuldades enfrentadas no território para o acesso a esse bem comum e finito que é a água.
Resultados: o principal resultado alcançado no estudo indica que na maioria das regiões urbanas dos municípios analisados o serviço de atendimento público para o fornecimento de água ocorre de maneira ampla. Todavia, o acesso não é de qualidade e universal.
Contribuições sociais/para a gestão: a principal expectativa dos autores é a de poder contribuir para o encaminhamento das discussões a respeito da temática do acesso universal à água e saneamento, e fornecer, no âmbito das políticas públicas, caminhos teóricos e metodológicos para a gestão sustentável dos recursos hídricos.

The excessive demand of modern society for resources implies the need for development, propagation and use of energy sources more interesting from the environmental and economic point of view. Biogas is a potential alternative, originating from anaerobic degradation composed essentially of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and traces of other gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and moisture. To enable its use, a purification process is necessary, especially with regard to H2S, since it has characteristics that cause corrosion of equipment and toxicity to human health. This study aims to implement a biological desulfurization system for biogas generated from the anaerobic digestion of the effluent treatment system in an egg processing company. Both the monitoring of the biogas composition and the control of air injection into the system were performed automatically from a device from the manufacturer Awite, which proved to be interesting for full-scale applications. The system showed removal efficiency of up to 71.63% (June 17th)  in the concentration of H2S at the exit of the biodigester when the extreme values obtained were used, and removal of 61.23% when the selected period was considered. Still, the temperature behavior was shown to influence the variable [H2S] in a directly proportional way. However, it was noticeable the restriction of the efficiency of the technique especially due to the low content of solids in the effluent and a need for adaptation in the engineering of the reactor.

Background and purpose: Vision impairment and blindness present significant global challenges, with common causes including age-related macular degeneration, diabetes, retinitis pigmentosa, and glaucoma. Advanced imaging tools, such as optical coherence tomography, fundus photography, photoacoustic microscopy, and fluorescence imaging, play a crucial role in improving therapeutic interventions and diagnostic methods. Contrast agents are often employed with these tools to enhance image clarity and signal detection. This review aims to explore the commonly used contrast agents in ocular disease imaging. Experimental approach: The first section of the review delves into advanced ophthalmic imaging techniques, outlining their importance in addressing vision-related issues. The emphasis is on the efficacy of therapeutic interventions and diagnostic methods, establishing a foundation for the subsequent exploration of contrast agents. Key results: This review focuses on the role of contrast agents, with a specific emphasis on gold nanoparticles, particularly gold nanorods. The discussion highlights how these contrast agents optimize imaging in ocular disease diagnosis and monitoring, emphasizing their unique properties that enhance signal detection and imaging precision. Conclusion: The final section, we explores both organic and inorganic contrast agents and their applications in specific conditions such as choroidal neovascularization, retinal neovascularization, and stem cell tracking. The review concludes by addressing the limitations of current contrast agent usage and discussing potential future clinical applications. This comprehensive exploration contributes to advancing our understanding of contrast agents in ocular disease imaging and sets the stage for further research and development in the field.
