Kemampuan komunikasi perlu dimiliki oleh siswa dalam pembelajaran matematika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis siswa SMP mengenai kemampuan komunikasi matematis pada materi Statistika. Metode penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Penentuan subjek penelitian dilakukan secara Purposive Sampling dengan memilih 2 orang siswa kelas IX. Data diperoleh dengan cara melakukan tes tertulis dan wawancara. Setiap data atau informasi yang diperoleh dianalisis dalam bentuk deskriptif. Hasil dari penelitian ini yaitu siswa memiliki kemampuan menyatakan situasi gambar ke dalam model matematika, dan menjelaskan idea, situasi atau relasi matematika secara tertulis. Namun siswa kurang memiliki kemampuan menulis tentang matematika, membaca dengan pemahaman suatu representasi matematis tertulis, dan menyusun argumen. Kurangnya kemampuan tersebut diakibatkan karena siswa belum memahami konsep dengan baik.
Communication skills need to be possessed by students in math learning. This study aims to analyze junior high school students on mathematical communication skills in statistics material. This research method is descriptive qualitative. The determination of the research subjects was conducted purposive sampling by selecting 2 students in grade IX. Data obtained by conducting written tests and interviews. Any data or information obtained is analyzed in descriptive form. The result of this study is that students have the ability to express the situation of images into mathematical models, and explain ideas, situations or mathematical relationships in writing. But students lack the ability to write about mathematics, read with an understanding of a written mathematical representation, and draw up arguments. The lack of ability is caused because students do not understand the concept well.

Assessment of navigators’ ergonomic awareness and working conditions on navigation bridges
Authors: Stopa Michał
Published: June 2024

Background: Merchant ships, despite huge technological progress, are still operated by qualified navigators. According to ergonomics principles, human is a part of the whole system and is affected by the surrounding environment. Objective: The purpose of the paper was to assess the ergonomic awareness of professional navigators, to understand their expectations towards navigation bridges and to check if they obtain enough support from their workplace. Methods: A special questionnaire was developed and 200 responses were obtained from seafarers with license of Officer Of the Watch or higher. Statistical analysis were carried out to find out relationships and differences between answers and groups of respondents. Results: Improper ergonomics and less than optimal working conditions were not isolated incidents and occurred to be rather common problem of the industry. The results suggest that ergonomic awareness is at relatively high level, however this knowledge is frequently not used in practice. Conclusions: Poor design and lack of proper ergonomics training might contribute to commonly experienced signs of fatigue, pain episodes and therefore reduced performance of seafarers. Navigators find ergonomics important, however navigation bridges often do not meet ergonomics and comfort standards, therefore there is still a room for improvement in this area.

Authors: Willeke Kristina , Janson Patrick , Kirchner Anna , Tischer Christina , D’Souza Arun , Heuschmann Peter U. , Zapf Andreas , Wildner Manfred , Stupp Carolin , Keil Thomas
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND: Compared to workers of larger companies it is less clear what health promoting interventions might be beneficial for employees of small businesses and self-employed individuals. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to critically appraise trials investigating health promotion programs among small business workers and self-employed individuals, by means of a systematic review. METHODS: We conducted a search of primary studies using MEDLINE, Web of Science, LIVIVO and the Cochrane library. Our assessment followed the recommendations of the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and PRISMA. RESULTS: We identified six trials including 5,854 participants from Asia, North America and Australia. Most were of moderate methodological quality, only one was of low quality. Some of the supervised psycho-educational lifestyle programs focusing on individual behavior changes showed benefits in terms of stress reduction and increased physical activity levels among small enterprise employees. CONCLUSIONS: There is a huge knowledge gap on evidence-based health promotion interventions for self-employed and for small business workers, especially in Europe.

Authors: Askaripoor Taleb , Siadat Morteza , Saleh Elahe , Aghaei Hamed
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND: Occupational accidents remain a critical challenge for healthcare professionals. OBJECTIVE: In the present study, using the Bayesian network (BN) approach association among resilience, job satisfaction, stress, and occupational accidents among healthcare professionals is examined. METHODS: Data was gathered using several valid questionnaires. The BN approach was utilized to analyze the r5/31/2024ionships between the variables of the current study. The performance of BN analysis was evaluated using related indexes. RESULTS: In total, 300 healthcare professionals participated in this study. Results showed that almost 23% of healthcare professionals had experienced occupational accidents. Results of the sensitivity analysis demonstrated that job satisfaction had the most significant influence on occupational accidents in healthcare settings. The belief updating analysis results showed that by increasing job satisfaction and decreasing stress of healthcare professionals the occurrence of occupational accidents decreased 9.8% and 6.4%, respectively. Moreover, decreasing the stress of healthcare professionals can lead to an increase in the level of job satisfaction. Evaluation indexes showed that the performance of the developed BN was acceptable (error rate: 16.09). CONCLUSION: The Findings reveal that both job satisfaction and stress had a significant influence on occupational accidents in healthcare professionals. Moreover, by influencing job satisfaction and stress, resilience can indirectly affect occupational accidents.
FDB-Net: Fusion double branch network combining CNN and transformer for medical image segmentation
Authors: Jiang Zhongchuan , Wu Yun , Huang Lei , Gu Maohua
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND:

The rapid development of deep learning techniques has greatly improved the performance of medical image segmentation, and medical image segmentation networks based on convolutional neural networks and Transformer have been widely used in this field. However, due to the limitation of the restricted receptive field of convolutional operation and the lack of local fine information extraction ability of the self-attention mechanism in Transformer, the current neural networks with pure convolutional or Transformer structure as the backbone still perform poorly in medical image segmentation.

METHODS:

In this paper, we propose FDB-Net (Fusion Double Branch Network, FDB-Net), a double branch medical image segmentation network combining CNN and Transformer, by using a CNN containing g nConv blocks and a Transformer containing Varied-Size Window Attention (VWA) blocks as the feature extraction backbone network, the dual-path encoder ensures that the network has a global receptive field as well as access to the target local detail features. We also propose a new feature fusion module (Deep Feature Fusion, DFF), which helps the image to simultaneously fuse features from two different structural encoders during the encoding process, ensuring the effective fusion of global and local information of the image.

CONCLUSION:

Our model achieves advanced results in all three typical tasks of medical image segmentation, which fully validates the effectiveness of FDB-Net.

On the foundation of quantum decision theory
Authors: Helland Inge Svein
Published: June 2024

Quantum decision theory is introduced here, and a new basis for this theory is proposed. It is first based upon the author’s general arguments for the Hilbert space formalism in quantum theory, and next on arguments for the Born rule, which is the basis for calculating quantum probabilities. A basic notion behind the quantum theory foundation is that of theoretical variables, that are divided into accessible and inaccessible ones. This is here specialized to decision variables. It is assumed that each accessible variable can be seen as a function of a specific inaccessible variable. Another assumption is that there exist two maximal accessible decision processes in the given situation. Two basic assumptions behind the Born rule are 1) the likelihood principle, and 2) the actor in question has motivations that can be modeled by a hypothetical perfectly rational higher being. The theory is illustrated by a medical example.
An Alternative Polity
Authors: de Swart Harrie , Hofstra Rients
Published: June 2024

In practically all Western countries one may observe that the
government and its agencies do not function properly and even seem to be
hostile towards its citizens. What is immediately evident from the
outside is that the ministers and politicians are seldomly qualified for
the ministry they are supposed to manage, that in most cases they do not
have a proper beta education, and that frequently they have never worked
in real life such as industry, small or big business. Usually, they are
only bureaucrats who try to make a career in the administrative circuit,
in which they never have to think about the question of who pays the bill
for their decisions. But there are many more reasons why democracy in
Western countries is in big trouble. In the first section, we shall point
out a number of weak aspects of Western democracies. In the next section,
we shall introduce an alternative polity which is due to Rients Hofstra
[1], with the intention to make Western democracies really
democratic again.

Authors: Ablay Irvin Phillip , Yambot Kathleen Kay , Peñaflor Neil Aldrine
Published: June 2024

Objective: To report a case of mandibular fracture in a newborn presenting with post-delivery oral cavity bleeding and to discuss its etiology, clinical findings, diagnosis, management and outcome after treatment.
Methods:
Design: Case Report
Setting: Tertiary Government Training Hospital
Patient: One
Results: A newborn girl was referred for oral cavity bleeding after partial breech extraction. An intraoral hematoma and symphyseal step deformity on examination corresponded to a complete fracture of the symphysis and downward displacement of the left hemimandible on facial CT scans with 3D reconstruction. An uneventful closed reduction with external fixation using acrylic cap splint with circum-mandibular wiring was performed under general anesthesia and she was discharged feeding well. The cap splint and wires were removed after 4 weeks showing good facial symmetry and bone alignment. There were no complications on follow-up after 1 year.
Conclusion: Mandibular fracture can result from traumatic delivery and present with oral bleeding and hematoma. A thorough physical examination and workup should be done to assess for the sites involved. A multidisciplinary approach should be undertaken to provide the best possible care with the least invasive technique.

Published: June 2024

Objective: This study aims to describe the clinicodemographic profile of patients with foreign bodies in the upper aerodigestive tract and their treatment outcomes.
Methods:
            Design:           Retrospective review of records
            Setting:           Tertiary Government Training Hospital
            Participants: Records of 304 patients diagnosed with aerodigestive foreign bodies
Results: Three hundred-four (304) patients were included. The median age was 5.26 years in the pediatric age group and 42.53 years in the  adult age group, with a male-to female ratio = 1.97:1. Foreign bodies were ingested in 291 (96%) patients while aspiration occurred in 13 (4%). Overall, 211 (69%) of cases involved the pediatric population (<19 years) and 93 (31%) the adult population. The most common foreign bodies reported were coins (63.5%), food (18.1%), and dentures (11.5%). Most esophageal foreign bodies (244/291; 83%) were seen at the cricopharyngeal level in all age groups. The foreign body was removed successfully in 288/291 (98%) of ingestion cases. All 13 cases of foreign body aspiration were successfully removed by bronchoscopy. All patients were discharged improved.
Conclusion: Most upper aerodigestive tract foreign bodies involved the pediatric age group. Predisposing conditions were mainly due to accidental ingestion and aspiration while playing in the pediatric population and negligence in eating among adults. Almost all ingestion cases were successfully treated with esophagoscopy, while all aspirations were treated successfully with bronchoscopy. Most intraoperative and postoperative complications who were managed conservatively by observation, although some cases required referral to other surgical departments and were treated surgically.

Factors associated with utilisation of staff clinic services by nurses at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, Zimbabwe. A cross-sectional study
Authors: Marevesa Rumbidzai , Mhlanga Maxwell
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Nurses, as gatekeepers of health, are expected to seek formal healthcare services, reflecting the advice they give patients. However, squalid working conditions, long hours, and heavy workloads expose them to occupational health hazards, limiting their ability to care for themselves. Properly implemented employee clinic services can help nurses address health problems, promote well-being, and reintegrate them into the workforce. Objective: This study sought to determine factors associated with the utilization of staff clinic services by nurses at Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals. Materials and Methods: The study used an analytical cross-sectional design conducted in May 2023. A consecutive sampling method selected 50 participants. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire and presented as numbers and percentages. The questionnaire was divided into sections as follows: Participant demographic information (Age, gender, marital status, religion etc.); uptake of staff clinic services (Screening, treatment, awareness services etc), and factors associated with uptake of staff clinic services among nurses. Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test to evaluate significant differences for unpaired data. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA 16. Results: Among the 50 participants, 66% were female. The study results show that the uptake of staff clinic services was low, with only 54% of the participants visiting the clinic on rare occasions. The most common barriers to utilizing the staff clinic were lack of time to go for screening (16%), fear of stigma (14%), and uncertainty about confidentiality (14%). Most participants utilized the acute illness treatment service (62%). Age was a significant factor associated with the utilization of the staff clinic (p = 0.021), with younger nurses using the clinic more often. Perceived benefits were also significantly associated with utilization (p < 0.05). Discussion: The utilization of staff clinic services by nurses remains suboptimal despite high knowledge and awareness of these services. Utilization was mainly associated with age, perceived benefits of accessing the staff clinic services, and reasons for not utilizing some of the services. There is need to strengthen promotional activities for the utilization of staff clinic health services as this has been proven to increase productivity and health outcomes of clinical staff.

Published: June 2024

The primary stage of duplicated region identification for investigating duplicate and insert image forgeries does the image block match. Because of evolution of highly sophisticated tools, numerous image modifications have been made. When images are difficult to duplicate and transfer, forgeries of those parts may happen. The images are examined closely in the area where they were forged. By using the suggested Gaussian RBF kernel PCA, the segment of the image that is copied and pasted will be known. One of the most significant issues in this step is the high processing time required to locate related locations. This research proposes a digital block-based picture water mark embedding strategy this uses singular value decomposition (SVD), a mathematical technique. There is already embedding a water mark across the entire image using traditional SVD watermarking. The suggested method involves breaking up the partitioning original image into blocks, after which the water mark existindividually inserted into the singular value of each block. Additionally, the employ the temporal complexity calculate the recommended algorithm's performance. The result of the experiment and thecalculation analysisdemonstrate that two layer matching is possible more traditional approaches Similar to lexicographic sorting, illustrate how two-layer matching can be accomplished. . High key points are awarded for the dimensionality of the feature vector representation in the picture matching. The suggested approach eliminates compression, identifies picture features using blurring, and contaminates the image with noise. The most straightforward way to identify image forgeries using editing technology or morphing is through computational efficiency. Numerous tests have shown that the system is more efficient than the one that is already in use. It is helpful for recording historical time intervals with patterns resembling those of a query time range. To obtain an accurate prediction, the system determines the location, MAC address, and IP address of the morphing uploader.

Tumor de Células Granulares em Mama Apresentando-se como Nódulo BI-RADS 5 à Ultrassonografia: Relato de Caso
Authors: Malgarin Juliane Soldi , Mayer Sérgio Augusto , Barretto Julia Wolff , Linhares Júlia Costa , Sebastião Ana Paula Martins , Mehanna Samya Hamad
Published: June 2024

Introdução: O tumor de células granulares (TCG) é uma neoplasia rara e predominantemente benigna, frequentemente localizada na região da cabeça e pescoço. Comumente, afeta adultos entre 40 e 60 anos, com maior incidência em mulheres. O TCG mamário, representando de 5% a 15% de todos os TCG, demanda diagnóstico histopatológico em virtude de semelhanças clínicas e radiológicas com malignidades mamárias. Tipicamente, manifesta-se como massa solitária palpável, embora a multicentricidade ocorra em até 20% dos casos, seja em tumores mamários ou de outros sítios. Relato do caso: Paciente, 43 anos, com nódulo hipoecoico classificado como BI-RADS 5 na ultrassonografia, localizado no quadrante superolateral da mama esquerda, às duas horas, de formato irregular, medindo 7,0 x 6,0 mm nos maiores eixos e distando 50 mm da papila. Por ser radiologicamente suspeito, foi realizada a core biopsy mamária, que microscopicamente foi categorizada como lesão de potencial maligno incerto. A análise imuno-histoquímica revelou positividade para S100 e CD68, indicando origem em células de Schwann, associada à negatividade para citoqueratinas e receptores hormonais, desfavorecendo a origem epitelial dos carcinomas. A conduta terapêutica foi a exérese cirúrgica completa do nódulo, e a análise histopatológica confirmou tratar-se de TCG. Conclusão: Relatar essa neoplasia faz-se importante em razão da raridade da condição e sua capacidade de mimetizar cânceres mamários.

Medication Adherence Behavior Among Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB) in West Sumba
Authors: De Fretes Fiane , Eka Putri Almacitra Rambu , Elingsetyo Sanubari Theresia Pratiwi
Published: June 2024

The recovery of Tb patients depends on medication adherence. Drug side effects, duration of treatment, health control, and social stigma towards Tb patients influence adherence. The assumption that Tb is a hereditary disease, a curse, and challenging to cure makes patients unmotivated to take medicine and reluctant to go to health services because of shame. These factors are at risk of increasing drug resistance rates and hindering the recovery process in Tb patients. The purpose of this study was to describe drug compliance in patients with pulmonary Tb in West Sumba. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with a case study research design and an indepth interview technique. The sample selection was made by purposive sampling with the age 20-45 criteria. Data analysis was done by reducing, presenting, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that drug adherence behavior in TB patients was influenced by treatment routines, barriers during treatment, and emotional, informational, and financial support from the social environment. According to the community, Tb is a curse, contagious and dangerous disease, not a cursed one. Therefore, the results of this study should serve as a basis for health workers and health policymakers in the West Sumba region to design health promotion programs on the importance of social support on treatment adherence of Tb patients so that Tb patients can maintain treatment adherence.

The article presents the results of a scientific and economic experiment to study the influence of different levels of Bypass soybeans in the diets of high-yielding cows on feed costs per kilogram of milk and reproductive functions of cows. Provision of the rations of the experimental cows with an unequal amount of the difficult-to-dissolve fraction of crude protein, at the expense of Bypass soybeans, affected their consumption of bulk feed. The experimental cows consumed 4.1–4.8 kg from the specified 5 kg of alfalfa hay, 20.8–24.6 kg from 25 kg of corn silage, and 8.4–9.7 kg from 10 kg of alfalfa hay. The consumed feed provided cows with crude protein at the level of 16.0–16.5 % of the dry matter, its poorly soluble fraction at the level of 27.3 % of the crude protein in the 1st control group, 31.1 % in the 2nd experimental group, 35.2 % – in the 3rd experimental group and 40.0 % – in the 4th experimental group. The sugar-starch-protein ratio was normal and ranged from 2.20 to 2.28 : 1 with a norm of 2.1 : 1. The micronutrient rations were balanced due to micronutrients of organic origin. On the basis of the obtained data, it was proved that the lowest feed consumption per 1 kg of milk was observed in cows of the 4th experimental group, which were fed rations with 2 kg of Bypass soybeans, where the level of insoluble protein was 40 % of crude protein and these consumptions were 6.5 MJ against 7.4 MJ in the 1st control group. Cows of the 4th experimental group also had the best insemination and service period indicators. The duration of the service period in the experimental groups was less in percentage compared to the animals of the 1st control group by: 15.0 in the 2nd; 25.6 in the 3rd and 32.9 in the 4th. Partial and complete replacement in the diets of cows of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th experimental groups of soybean meal with Vypass soybeans at the level of 1.0; 1.7 and 2 kg of compound feed concentrate in the first 100 days of lactation has a positive effect on the physiological state, stimulates appetite and provides normal conditions for fertilization and embryo development.

Improving the consumption and increasing the efficiency of the use of feed, obtaining maximum egg productivity is ensured by a high level of balanced feeding with various feed additives. Therefore, the research work aimed to study the effect of mineral feed additives on the egg productivity of laying hens of the Loman Brown cross. During the experiment, the control group of laying hens consumed the basic ration (BR) – complete combined feed. In feeding the research group, a mineral selenium-containing feed additive was used with the main diet. Selenium in the feed additive is contained in organic form, selenomethionine and selenocystin. Unlike inorganic forms, selenoamino acids can be transported and metabolized in the body to build amino acids. According to the results of the experiment, it was found that when feeding mineral feed additive, there was an increase in the gross collection of eggs in laying hens of the 2nd group by 12.7 % (Р ≥ 0.01) and a decrease in feed consumption by 10 pcs. eggs by 9.0 %, relative to the control group. In addition, there is a tendency to increase the laying rate per average laying hen by 9.5 % and the laying intensity by 3.9 %. With the additional use of the mineral feed additive by laying hens of the 2nd group, the mass of eggs increases by 5.3 % (Р < 0.05), the height of the yolk by 25.0 % (Р < 0.05), and the yolk index by 0.06 % (P < 0.01) versus the control value. It was established that the use of mineral supplements by laying hens of the 2nd group increases live weight by 5.1 % (Р ≤ 0.05), absolute gain by 12.3 % (Р ≤ 0.01), pre-slaughter live weight by 5.7 % (Р ≤ 0.05), the weight of the semi-cartridge by 4.3 % (Р ≤ 0.05) and the weight of the carcass by 11.5 % (Р ≤ 0.01) against the reference indicator. Under the influence of the mineral feed additive in the 2nd group of laying hens, the survival rate of the flock increased by 3.0 % compared to the control analogs.
Sustainable fodder production and optimization of cow feeding rations in the ar-id climate of southern Ukraine
Authors: Elfeel A. A. A.
Published: June 2024

In the south of Ukraine, which traditionally belongs to the zone of risky land use due to frequent droughts and the last 10–15 years of steadily progressing global warming, the production of rye silage as a basic feed ingredient is gaining the status of an excellent insurance fund, which is essential in the region's feed production, as it will help to remedy the situation with the shortage of juicy fodder. Optimisation of dairy cow feeding rations during lactation in southern Ukraine involves the use of traditional dietary ingredients (corn silage, alfalfa haylage) and innovative ones (rye silage, wet beer pellets), which is mainly due to climate change in recent years. The research used commonly available methods: zootechnical (setting up experiments, developing feed rations, assessing dairy cattle productivity, milk quality, reproduction rates); biological (morphological and biochemical composition of blood); statistical (biometric processing of data) and economic analysis of the research. Thus, in terms of actual milk yield, amount of milk fat and milk protein for 305 days of lactation, cows of all experimental groups outperformed analogues of the control group (milk yield for 305 days of lactation was 7898.0 l; amount of milk fat and protein – 278.7 and 245.1 kg, respectively) by 1.2–3.3 %, by the amount of milk fat – by 5.1–16.9 % and by the amount of milk protein – by 3.4–10.9 % for 305 days of lactation. It was found that the diets of dairy cows of the experimental groups, which included rye silage in different amounts and wet beer pellets, had a positive effect on reducing the duration of the service period, and hence the duration of the intercalation period by 5.5–27.0 days in animals of the I–IV experimental groups compared to cows of the control group. There was a tendency to increase the content of carotene in the blood serum of animals of the II experimental group by 39.5 %, as well as a significant difference of 72.7 % (P < 0.05) and 81,3% (P < 0.01), respectively, in cows of the III and IV experimental groups compared to the same indicator of the control group, which was 209.6 μg/100 ml.

Dermatological diseases are a fairly common problem encountered in the practice of veterinarians worldwide. However, the types of clinical cases of dermatopathology and their prevalence may vary from region to region due to factors such as breed prevalence, genetics, environmental conditions and epizootic data, available methods of prevention and treatment, etc. This study aimed to monitor dermatological patients in Mykolaiv to determine their current prevalence and the possibility of reducing the trends of the most common dermatological problems in the future. The following objectives were set: to collect statistical data on cases of dermatological diseases among cats and dogs; to study the species, sex, breed, and age prevalence of diseases in animals owned by residents of Mykolaiv; to analyze the data obtained on the types of diseases, compare their prevalence and identify trends. The study's material was data from the register of sick animals at the Veles Veterinary Clinic (Mykolaiv), which were entered into tables and used for statistical analysis. During the study period (from 22.12.2023 to 19.01.2024), 41 dermatological patients were diagnosed, the majority of whom were cats (49 %) and dogs (46 %), with a predominance of male sex and age under 1 year. The most commonly diagnosed conditions were dermatomycosis (22 %), dermatitis (19.5 %), malassezia (9.8 %), eczema (9.8 %), pododermatitis (7.3 %) and eosinophilic granuloma (7.3 %). The systematic monitoring of dermatological pathologies of small animals in Mykolaiv will be carried out to control the epizootic situation in the city, possibly further reducing the incidence trends.

В статті розкривається процес становлення альтернативних ценрів глобальної влади. Зазначається, що в умовах, коли післявоєнна геполітична і геоекономіна реальність втрачає актуальність і перегдається, деякі регіональні країни, не дивлячись на наяні обмеження і ризики, поступово перетворюються на активних глобальних гравців. Традиційно таким статусом володіли США, Європейський Союз. Демонструья, що на сьогдні його перебирають Китай, Бразилія, ПАР, Індія тощо. Визначено роль Індії, як країни-цивілізації, яка володіючи цілям рядом лідерських абміцій, не задовольняється статусом регіональної держави і поступово транслює власний геоекономічний вплив на інші континенти, зокрема на Арфику. Аналізуються можливості конкурентної присутності Індії на Африканському континенті, особливо в контексті наявних і прихованих конфліктностей з Китаєм, який на сьогодні займає монопольні позиції на континенті.
