Diare termasuk penyakit peringkat kedua global yang menjadi penyebab kematian pada anak berumur di bawah lima tahun. Setiap tahun terdapat sekitar 525.000 kasus kematian balita yang diakibatkan oleh diare. Diare masih menjadi dilema bidang kesehatan di Indonesia, karena angka morbiditas dan angka mortalitas tiap tahun masih tinggi. Penyakit diare berkaitan dengan beberapa faktor. Praktik ibu, jarak jamban dengan sumber air bersih, keberadaan E.coli pada sumber air bersih dan keberadaan E.coli pada sumber air minum merupakan faktor yang berkaitan dengan kejadian diare pada baduta. Penelitian ini ingin mengetahui hubungan antara praktik ibu, jarak jamban dengan sumber air bersih dan keberadaan E.coli pada sumber air minum dengan kejadian diare pada baduta umur 6-23 bulan di wilayah Puskesmas Ciawi tahun 2021. Jenis penelitian adalah analisis observasional. Desain penelitian adalah kasus kontrol. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 39 kasus dan 39 kontrol dihitung menggunakan software Epiinfo dan berdasarkan penelitian terdahulu. Teknik sampling menggunakan purposive sampling. Responden merupakan balita. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuesioner dan lembar observasional. Uji statistik menggunakan SPSS versi 23 dengan jenis uji chi square. Hasil menunjukkan terdapat hubungan bermakna antara jarak jamban dengan sumber air bersih dengan kejadian diare pada baduta (pvalue = 0,021) dan (OR=3,294), tidak terdapat hubungan bermakna antara praktik ibu dan keberadaan E.coli pada sumber air minum dengan kejadian diare pada baduta (pvalue 0,437 dan 0,496). Saran disampaikan perlu adanya kerjasama antara masyarakat dan petugas kesehatan dalam meningkatkan informasi praktik ibu dalam mencegah terjadinya diare pada balita dan perlu adanya pengecekan mikrobiologis pada sumber air minum masyarakat Kecamatan Ciawi

Published: November 2023

This paper presents a rocket flight safety analysis using methods from the internationally recognized standard RCC 321-20 with an emphasis on a suborbital launch from the Polish coast. Currently, several entities are launching (or planning to launch) suborbital rockets and land them in the Baltic sea – and such flights are expected to be performed using more and more capable rockets with increasing launch frequency. While the present approach in Poland is to close a predefined air space, monitor or close the maritime zone to any traffic and ensure that the impact point dispersion of all rocket elements will fit within that restricted area, established and proven methods often take advantage of advanced calculations of flight risk to the public, aircraft and vessels. This paper demonstrates this approach and compares relative rocket or missile flight safety from Poland to other locations frequently used for such exercises. The results of this work may also be beneficial when planning safety measures for military exercises involving missiles.

Published: November 2023

The Hindu community is one of the rural communities with a high commitment to maintaining its diversity intact as it is inherited. It can be seen from the implementation of worship that used several facilities such as flowers, incense sticks, water, bija (grain of rice), and others. However, the meaning of its facilities sometimes is not clearly understood. Therefore, examining the Internalization of Hindu Teaching Values in Informal Education is necessary to increase the religious value of the younger generation of Hindus. This study entitled Internalization Model of Hindu Teaching Values in Informal Education raises three issues, including how the internalization process of Hindu teaching values in informal education is, how the form of internalization of Hindu teaching values is, and the implication of the internalization of Hindu teaching values in formal education on children’s behavior. The general objective of this research is to enhance thinking in developing science. In addition, it aimed to examine the related processes with the internalization model of Hindu teaching values in informal education. This research is qualitative research using descriptive data analysis. Informants were determined purposively. The data were collected using the observation, interviews, and documentation methods. It was analyzed in several stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of this study obtained 1) The internalization process of Hindu teaching values was divided into two, namely: (a) Children imitated their parents’ behavior in performing religious rituals; (b) The children observed religious procedures following the religious ceremonies. 2) Forms of internalized Hindu values ​​were: (a) Parents taught the implementation of the ceremony in accordance with what has been passed down; (b) Parents familiarized their children to differentiate how to speak and dress nicely; (c) Parents accustomed their children to pray every day. 3) Implications of the internalization of Hindu teaching values were: (a) making children afraid to violate cultural heritage; (b) making children have the ethics of speaking and dressing nicely; (c) making the child perform a steady religious ceremony.

This research was conducted to determine the challenges and opportunities of using information technology in online learning at Groupe Scolaire de Butare during the Covid-19 pandemic using library study and survey methods. The sample used in this research was all students of Groupe Scolaire de Butare Semester I and Semester II. The Covid-19 pandemic has had an impact on universities in Rwanda, with the implementation of a physical distancing policy which then became the basis for holding online lectures using information technology. The media most widely used in online learning at Groupe Scolaire de Butare are WhatsApp and Google Classroom because this application is very easy to use. However, there are several obstacles such as lack of facilities. Based on survey results, 50% of students do not have laptops, and 80% of students have difficulty getting a signal and are wasteful in using data plans because many students live far from urban areas. This research was ineffective because 61.5% of students stated that they had never used online learning media before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the fact that using online learning has triggered the acceleration of the digital transformation process of Rwandan education. Before the pandemic, several discourses, supporting policies and outreach regarding the education era 4.0 were unsuccessful. However, Covid-19 has tremendously impacted digital transformation towards the education era 4.0.

The objective of this research work is to examine the link between performance appraisal systems and sustainable development in the specific setting of Saudi Arabian institutions. The study aims to examine three primary research objectives: evaluating the current state of performance appraisal systems, investigating the incorporation of sustainability measures, and suggesting approaches to improve sustainable development via appraisal systems. In order to achieve these aims, a thorough survey was conducted among the teachers of universities in Saudi Arabia. The study gathered data pertaining to several facets of performance appraisal, the integration of sustainability, and individuals' opinions of efficacy. The results of the study indicate that the overall perception of evaluation systems was favorable, however, there were some reservations expressed addressing issues of openness and clarity. Promisingly, there has been a growing trend of incorporating sustainability measures, underscoring the significance of sustainability inside academic institutions. The study provides evidence-based suggestions for universities to enhance their adherence to sustainability standards. This study makes a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion around performance rating systems within the context of higher education. It sheds light on their potential to serve as catalysts for promoting sustainable development.
Biofilm Inhibitory Effects of Lactobacillus Spp Against Streptomycin-resistant Uropathogenic Escherichia Coli
Authors: Emeka Nwanekwu Kenneth
Published: November 2023

The biofilm inhibitory effects of Lactobacillus spp against Streptomycin-resistant uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) were evaluated using the crystal violet test method. Lactobacillus spp were isolated from milk samples while fifty strains of Uropathogenic Escherichia coli were isolated from urine samples from Urinary Tract Infection patients attending Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Owerri, Nigeria. Ten of the E. coli strains resistant to streptomycin antibiotics were screened for their susceptibility to antibiofilm effect of Lactobacillus secondary metabolites extracts. From the result obtained, only one of the E. coli strains was susceptible while nine strains were resistant. This result shows clearly that the metabolite extracts from Lactobacillus sp were not effective in the antibiofilm activity of the E. coli strains and thus not a good candidate for the management of UTI caused by E. coli.
Predicting disease progression in cirrhotic patients after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt implantation: A sex-stratified analysis
Authors: Zhang Qian , Long Li , Zhu Hong-Lin , Peng Hong , Luo Xin-Hua , Zhu Kang-Shun , Wang Rong-Pin
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has been extensively used to treat portal hypertension-associated complications, including cirrhosis. The prediction of post-TIPS prognosis is important for cirrhotic patients, as more aggressive liver transplantation is needed when the post-TIPS prognosis is poor.

AIM

To construct a nutrition-based model that could predict the disease progression of cirrhotic patients after TIPS implantation in a sex-dependent manner.

METHODS

This study retrospectively recruited cirrhotic patients undergoing TIPS implantation for analysis. Muscle quality was assessed by measuring the skeletal muscle index (SMI) by computed tomography. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were utilized to determine the association between SMI and disease progression in cirrhotic patients after TIPS implantation.

RESULTS

This study eventually included 186 cirrhotic patients receiving TIPS who were followed up for 30.5 ± 18.8 mo. For male patients, the 30-mo survival rate was significantly lower and the probability of progressive events was higher (3.257-fold) in the low-level SMI group than in the high-level SMI group. According to the multivariate Cox analysis of male patients, SMI < 32.8 was an independent risk factor for long-term adverse outcomes after TIPS implantation. A model was constructed, which involved creatinine, plasma ammonia, SMI, and acute-on-chronic liver failure and hepatic encephalopathy occurring within half a year after surgery. This model had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.852, sensitivity of 0.926, and specificity of 0.652. According to the results of the DeLong test, this model outperformed other models (Child-Turcotte-Pugh, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease, and Freiburg index of post-TIPS survival) (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

SMI is strongly associated with poor long-term outcomes in male patients with cirrhosis who underwent TIPS implantation.

Published: November 2023

Im Jahr 2019 wurde im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts „Unteres Hausfeld 2“ die Tragfähigkeit von mantelverpressten Duktilpfählen in typischem Wiener Baugrund, den quartären Sedimenten, anhand ihres Last-Verformungsverhaltens untersucht. Die großmaßstäblichen Versuche erfolgten an zwei Pfählen mit dem Pile HAY-Proof-System, einem bi-direktionalen Pfahlprüfsystem sowie teilweise mit faseroptischen Dehnungsmessungen. Die Duktilpfähle folgen damit einer Vielzahl anderer häufig eingesetzter Tiefgründungselemente in Wien, deren Tragverhalten bereits im Jahr 2017 im Zuge des Forschungsprojekts „Unteres Hausfeld“ der Magistratsabteilung für Brücken- und Grundbau (MA29) der Stadt Wien und der TU Wien unter vergleichbaren Bedingungen systematisch untersucht wurde. Die bi-direktionalen Versuche ermöglichen getrennte Aussagen zu den Pfahlfuß- und Pfahlmantelwiderständen. Die Auswertungen der Dehnungsmessungen liefern darüber hinaus Mantelreibungsverläufe und damit eine qualitative Aussage zur Lastabtragung entlang des Pfahls. Vergleiche mit Bodenaufschlüssen ermöglichen eine Interpretation der Ergebnisse und zeigen qualitativ aufschlussreiche Ergebnisse.

The Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Operations: an Applied Study on Crops in the Jordan Valley
Authors: Alalwan Ahmad Mohammad Hamdan
Published: November 2023

Climate change, as manifested through its multifaceted dimensions encompassing economic, social, and security effects, on agricultural activities within the Jordan Valley region. The research sample encompassed a group of 9000 agricultural practitioners residing in the Jordan Valley region. Employing the well-established Morgan model, a representative subset of 368 individuals was selected through a random sampling technique. The questionnaires were disseminated among the participants of the study, resulting in the retrieval of a total of 350 questionnaires. Upon careful examination, it was determined that 340 of these questionnaires were deemed valid and suitable for analysis. A meticulously crafted survey instrument was devised to systematically gather firsthand information. The research employed a quantitative (descriptive analytical) methodology to examine the data and evaluate hypotheses by employing suitable statistical techniques available in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).  The findings of the study indicate a noteworthy and statistically significant relationship between climate change and agricultural operations. The analysis yielded a substantial coefficient of determination (R²=68.5%), suggesting that approximately 68.5% of the changes observed in agricultural operations can be attributed to the influence of climate change. The study proposes a strategic approach to enhance farmers' understanding of the indirect impact of climate change on various economic sectors, including manufacturing, energy production, transportation, and other services. This can be achieved through the implementation of educational initiatives, such as seminars and awareness sessions, which actively engage farmers in the learning process.

The plant found in Mosul exhibited distinct characteristics in terms of its composition of Undecanoic acid and Linoleic acid. Notably, the highest concentration of fatty acids was observed in the leaves of the plant cultivated in the Aqrah district, measuring 9.908 mg/g. The findings of the present study demonstrate that fatty acids exhibit antioxidant properties against the free radical DPPH. Moreover, it was observed that the efficacy of these fatty acids in neutralizing the free radical increases proportionally with the concentration of the active compounds. At a concentration of 500 μg/ml, the fatty acids (Mosul) exhibited the highest level of inhibition, with a rate of 86.4%. This inhibition rate was found to be superior to that of fatty acids (Aqrah) at the same concentration, which showed an inhibition rate of 79.25%. Furthermore, the observed inhibition rate of fatty acids (Mosul) was statistically significant and comparable to the standard sample of ascorbic acid at the same concentration, which exhibited an inhibition rate of 85.6%. Following these results, the concentration of fatty acids (Mosul) is 400 micrograms per milliliter, exhibiting an inhibition rate of 81.2%. In comparison, fatty acids (Aqrah) achieved an inhibition rate of 72.3% at the same concentration. Other concentrations displayed varying degrees of inhibition capacity towards DPPH free radicals. The study provided confirmation of the inhibitory effects of fatty acids on the viability of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from infected individuals at Tikrit Teaching Hospital.

Road pavements generally use asphalt and cement concrete as flexible and rigid pavements. A flexible pavement covering material with concrete paving blocks has been developed for low-traffic road structures. Paving block compressive strength tests still use beam samples; some have used cube samples. Concrete waste and plastic waste can reduce material requirements and support environmental sustainability. Therefore, it is used as a recycled material. This research utilizes concrete waste and plastic waste in the composition of the concrete paving block mixture. Compressive and flexural strength tests with a cement and aggregate ratio 1:3 was used in this study. The aggregate comprises screening, sand, stone ash, recycled concrete aggregate, and plastic waste additives. The test results showed that the concrete paving block test objects in the form of cubes and beams produced different characteristics. Cube-shaped concrete paving blocks make more realistic compressive strength test values. Judging from the results of the compressive strength and flexural strength tests, the addition of plastic decreased the strength of the concrete paving block. Still, the addition of 4-6% plastic waste positively contributed to the value of flexural strength.

The main aim of this study is to propose the effective gradient for different dimensions between ground clearances vehicles for ramp design in car porch areas for the housing sector. There are many guidelines and standards have been established, such as Building (Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur) By-Laws 1985, Selangor Uniform Building By-Laws 1986, Guidelines for Car Parking ad Internal Traffic Circulation (Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur 2018), Malaysian Standard 2426 1 2011, and Neufert Architect’s Data (Fourth Edition) as references to the consultants. However, each guideline shows only minimum guidelines and is not specific for each type of vehicle, especially vehicles which have lowered skirtings, such as sports cars or hummer vehicles. Hence, the aim of this research is to propose the effective gradient for different dimensions between ground clearances vehicles for ramp design in car porch areas for the housing sector and to determine the issues of ramp design at car porch in housing and residential area. To propose the effective gradient, the research will focused on the factor that contributes to the ramp design for accommodating low-ground clearances vehicles on high profile at the car porch area. In other words, to achieve this aim, an interview session has been held with the professional parties with architects, engineers in the engineering department at Majlis Bandaraya Seremban, DBKL, Majlis Bandaraya Melaka, Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru, Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) and consultant firms. The data that been collected during the interview session is based on the four aspects that are background of interview, existing guidelines and standards of ramp design, impact of improper design to residents and proposed the specific high ramp design criteria in a different situation to accommodate low-clearance vehicles. The researcher analyzed the data by grounded theory and color coding based on the respondents’ feedback. In short, after the researcher completes all the data collection, the researcher makes a conclusion and summary to propose the maximum gradient for different dimensions between the different dimensions of ground clearances. These data can be used to estimate the suitable degree and percent for different categories of ground clearances which is useful for current development and current technology circulation.
