Pembangkit listrik di Indonesia saat ini masi bergantung pada energi fosil, yang mana ketersediannya semakin terbatas, sehingga diperlukannya sumber energi listrik yang berasal dari energi terbarukan salah satunya yaitu PLTS. Dengan adanya pembangkit energi baru dan terbarukan efeknya dapat mengurangi penggunaan energi fosil sekaligus mengurangi emisi karbon yang ada. Pada PLTS perlu dilakukannya pengukuran nilai tegangan dan arus agar dapat mengetahui daya yang dapat dihasilkan. Jika pengukuran dilakukan secara manual dan harus dilakukan secara terus menerus maka tidak akan efektif dan efisien dalam penggunaannya. Sehingga berdasarkan hal tersebut, perlu dibuat alat sistem pemantauan tegangan, arus, dan daya pada panel surya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan protoype sistem pemantauan panel surya berbasis IoT. Berdasarkan percobaan protoype sistem pemantauan panel surya yang dibuat dapat bekerja dengan baik dan hanya memiliki nilai rata-rata error sebesar 0,56% untuk tegangan dan 7% untuk arus.

Authors: Nugraha Siti Nurhasanah
Published: August 2024

Seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi, keamanan dalam pertukaran data dan informasi menjadi sangat penting. Saat ini, keamanan dalam proses pertukaran informasi masih belum optimal, sehingga data atau informasi yang dipertukarkan sangat rentan terhadap kebocoran, penyadapan, pencurian, dan pemalsuan yang menimbulkan kerugian bagi pemilik data atau informasi tersebut. Salah satu cara untuk mengatasi permasalahan ini adalah dengan menerapkan sistem kriptografi, yaitu enkripsi dan dekripsi pesan pada proses pertukaran data atau informasi. Pada penelitian ini, algoritma ElGamal diimplementasikan pada sebuah aplikasi sederhana berbasis web yang digunakan untuk pengamanan pesan teks dengan tujuan untuk menjaga kerahasiaan pesan yang dipertukarkan. Dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan, dapat disimpulkan bahwa algoritma ElGamal yang diterapkan pada aplikasi pengamanan pesan berbasis web berjalan dengan baik dan optimal. Pemilihan algoritma ini didasarkan pada keamanannya yang terletak pada kesulitan menghitung logaritma diskrit, sehingga sulit dipecahkan oleh kriptanalis. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah terciptanya sebuah aplikasi berbasis web yang dapat melakukan proses enkripsi pesan asli menjadi pesan yang tidak dapat dibaca, kemudian mengembalikannya ke bentuk semula melalui proses dekripsi sehingga dapat dibaca kembali oleh pengguna. Aplikasi ini dapat diterapkan untuk menciptakan lingkungan pertukaran informasi yang aman dan terpercaya.

Anorectal melanomas represent less than 1% of all anorectal cancers and 0.3% of malignant melanomas [1]. Rectal localization is rare, accounting for 0.3% of all melanomas [2]. It is often secondary to infiltration of the rectal mucosa by an anal-derived process originating from melanocytes normally present in the squamous epithelium of the pectineal zone and in the transitional epithelium above the pectineal line [6-7]. Its prognosis is dreadful due to the early occurrence of metastases. We report an observation from the Department of Medicine B, Ibn Sina University Hospital, and Rabat.
Potentially traumatic events and substance use independently but not interactively predict changes in resting state functional connectivity in early adolescence
Authors: Patel Herry , Aks Isabel R. , Kemp Emily C. , Pelham William E.
Published: August 2024

Potentially traumatic events (PTEs) and substance use (SU) are commonly endorsed in early adolescence, a crucial period for neurodevelopment. Separately, they have been shown to alter within- and between-network connectivity in the three brain networks posited by Menon’s Theory of Psychopathology: the default mode network (DMN), fronto-parietal network (FPN), and salience network (SN). While co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder (SUD) in adults show shared neural underpinnings, how co-occurring PTEs and SU in adolescents impact these three functional networks has yet to be examined. We analyzed the effects of PTEs and SU on resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) in 9-15 year old youth from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. Fixed effects panel models were fit to assess the effects of PTEs and SU on between-network (FPN-SN rsFC, DMN-SN rsFC, and FPN-DMN rsFC) and within-network (FPN rsFC, SN rsFC, and DMN rsFC) connectivity measured two years apart, across three timepoints. PTEs independently predicted increased FPN-SN and DMN-SN rsFC, as well as increased FPN. Other associations between PTEs and rsFC were explained entirely by age. A significant main effect of SU was found for SN rsFC. Sex*SU negatively and Sex*PTEs*SU positively predicted FPN rsFC. We failed to find evidence for PTEs and SU interactively predicting rsFC, indicating that rsFC changes observed in older adolescents and adults with comorbid PTSD+SUD do not developmentally translate to early adolescents endorsing PTEs+SU. However, we observed independent impacts of PTEs on youth rsFC during early adolescence.

The study was carried out to examine the fishing gears and crafts used in Oguta Lake, Imo state, Nigeria. The study was conducted within the period of three (3) months (Oct 2023 – Dec 2023) to identify the major fishing gear and crafts used in Oguta Lake, to determine the socio-economic characteristics of the fisher folks, and to identify problems associated with the gear and crafts used. One of the significant problems in Oguta Lake is the widespread use of inappropriate fishing gear by local fishermen. Many fishermen continue to employ non-selective and destructive gears, such as fine mesh nets and poison substances due to the cost and expensiveness of appropriate fishing gears and crafts. The frame and catch assessment survey method was used for the study. Analytical tools used include descriptive statistics and the Likert scale. Results obtained from the study showed that gillnet was the major fishing gear used in Oguta Lake while one-man dugout canoe was the major fishing craft used. The study also showed that the majority of the fisherfolks are male (99.9%). The mean age of the fisher folks was 35 with a mean family size of 7. The majority of the fishers are not full-time fishers. The estimated income generated by the majority of the fisherfolks is N30,000 -N40,000 per month. However, overfishing, habitat destruction, regulatory challenges, pollution, unsustainable practices, socio-economic impact and bycatch were major challenges associated with the gears, while lack of suitability and stability, limited space and weight capacity are problems present with the gear. Therefore, it is recommended that the provision of loans and fishing gear to the fishers will increase productivity which will in turn increase catch. Also, the construction of a robust and stabilised planked canoe to compensate for the shortage of large dugout canoes and the unavailability of timbers is recommended.

Authors: Xiang Cailing
Published: August 2024

Forestry translation is of paramount importance due to the critical role the texts play in advancing forestry research and practice globally. A quality translation ensures that valuable scientific knowledge and technological advancements are accessible to a broader audience, fostering international collaboration and innovation in forestry. The texts in this field, however, are characterized by their specialized terminology, tight syntactic structure, and coherent textual structure, posing significant challenges to translation tasks. These challenges necessitate translators’ subjectivity, which means translators must utilize their essential qualities, like language competence, professional knowledge, and information-searching ability, to ensure that their translated text is not only accurate but also accessible and comprehensible to the target audience. By doing so, the purpose of translation can be achieved to the greatest extent. This essay explores how translators’ subjectivity exerts an impact on the quality of forestry translation. Through a detailed analysis, it concludes that the translators’ subjectivity is pivotal for forestry translation, which can help reduce the misinterpretation and ambiguity of the translated texts by using some translation skills. This paper aims to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for improving the accuracy, accessibility, and adaptability of forestry translation, thus better promoting the advancement of global forestry research and practice and facilitating environmental protection and sustainable development around the world.

In this report, we will discuss the management of a giant ovarian serous cyst, an intriguing incidental finding on ultrasonography during the third trimester. In the current report, our hospital received a referral for a 26-year-old Gravida 4 Para 3 at 35 weeks of gestation who had a 4-month history of progressive generalized abdominal swelling, abdominal fullness, early satiety, and intermittent episodes of mild low back pain. Ultrasonography revealed a single live intrauterine foetus at 34 weeks with a separate, huge cystic mass (25 cm by 29 cm). Twelve hours after her admission, she experienced a spontaneous onset of labour, leading to a preterm normal vaginal delivery of a 2.5 kg female baby with an APGAR score of 8 in the first minute and 10 in the fifth minute. Two weeks later, during the puerperium, she developed progressive abdominal distension and worsening discomfort; she underwent a laparotomy and a left salpingo-oophorectomy to remove a large left ovarian mass weighing 13 kg. We sent the specimen for histopathology, and the results showed a benign ovarian serous cyst. The patient had uneventful progress in post operatively follow up and was discharged from an outpatient clinic in good condition after her puerperium period.

Published: August 2024

This study aims to analyze teachers' perceptions of the relevance of Islamic studies curriculum content to values and moral development. The study participants were 65 Islamic religious study teachers from public and private schools in Ilorin, Kwara state, Nigeria, who were selected by simple random selection. The data were collected using a five-point Likert scale. The teacher's perception of Islamic studies for moral development was analyzed using SPSS. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as Percentages, Mean scores, and Standard Deviation. The significant outcome indicates that the current Islamic studies curriculum contents, textbooks, and syllabus are inadequate for teaching Islamic values and developing moral and ethical character among the learners. The study, therefore, recommended, among others, improving the Islamic education curriculum content, syllabus, and textbooks to educate learners, inculcate Islamic religious values and moral and ethical character, and present Allah SWT as the most merciful as the only one worthy of worship.

This study aims to: (1) describe the achievement of indicators for understanding students' mathematical concepts about fractions. (2) Describe the learning barriers that occur in students and the factors that cause them to understand the mathematical concept of fractions. This research is a qualitative descriptive study conducted in class IV MI Darul Muttaqin Sukomangu, with a total of 10 students. All students are given a test to measure the achievement of indicators of understanding the concept. The test results are then grouped into 3 categories, namely high, medium, and low. From each category, interview subjects were selected with the criteria of not achieving some or all of the indicators of understanding the concept and having good communication skills. This interview aims to determine the learning barriers that occur and the factors that cause them. The data analysis technique was carried out in three stages, namely data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion. The test results show that 4 students fall into the category of high concept understanding, 3 students in the medium category, and 3 students in the low category. In the results of the interview, it was found that there were learning barriers, namely ontogeny and epistemological barriers. The most dominant obstacle is the ontogeny barrier with indicators of lack of concentration when learning begins. In addition, the most dominant factor was found, namely internal factors in the form of emotional aspects or wrong attitudes, namely lack of learning.

Balita yang mengalami kekurangan gizi dalam jangka waktu lama dapat mengalami kegagalan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan yang biasa disebut dengan stunting. Indonesia sendiri memiliki target menurunkan angka stunting pada angka 14% pada tahun 2024. Pemerintah dan seluruh masyarakat memiliki peran dalam mencapai target tersebut. Pengabdian masyarakat ini menggunakan metode CBR. Tim pengabdian membuat program GEMA CERDAS (gerakan bersama cegah gizi buruk dan stunting) yang dikemas dalam beberapa kegiatan diantaranya, edukasi dan penyuluhan PHBS pada siswa dan masyarakat Desa Candipuro; edukasi stunting pada ibu balita dan kader; pemeriksaan kesehatan pada peserta didik melalui UKS sekolah, dan yang terakhir imunisasi balita. Edukasi secara berkelanjutan dinilai dapat menjadi salah satu cara untuk menurunkan angka stunting. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada bulan Agustus 2022 dan memiliki tujuan untuk meningkatkan wawasan masyarakat yang meliputi remaja, ibu hamil, ibu balita, dan kader posyandu agar dapat mengenali stunting dan mengetahui upaya pencegahannya. Dengan diadakannya kegiatan GEMA CERDAS di Desa Candipuro, kesadaran masyarakat terkait tumbuh kembang anak semakin meningkat, sehingga diharapkan dapat mencegah terjadinya stunting dan menurunkan prosentase stunting di Indonesia khususnya di Desa Candipuro, Kecamatan Candipuro, Kabupaten Lumajang.

Introduction: Teeth with furcation involvement lesions present a significant challenge for clinicians regarding treatment options. Various methods can be employed to restore mutilated teeth for a longer period of function, including resective surgery (hemisection, bicuspidization and root amputation/root resection). Case and Management: This case series presents clinical and radiographic data collected from two patients who were referred to the dental and oral hospital at the University of Sumatera Utara. The patients were examined and treated by a dental conservation resident, who diagnosed a periodontal case in the patient with a chief complaint of pain and swelling associated with class II and III furcation involvement, as well as endo perio lesions on the radiograph of the first lower left and right mandibular molars. The class II and III furcation was complicated with endodontic involvement. Patients were provided with endodontic treatment in conjunction with the initial stage of periodontal treatment, which includes dental health education, root scaling and debridement. Following three months of endodontic treatment, resective surgery, including hemisection and bicuspidation, were performed. Radiographic analysis revealed that the teeth exhibited satisfactory regeneration following resective surgery, with the teeth becoming the supporting teeth for the fixed denture. Conclusion: It is not always necessary to extract teeth with conditions involving furcation. However, a multidisciplinary approach is essential to ensure effective treatment of the lesion.

Published: August 2024

Background. Currently, researchers are working on the development of dental composite fillers that are composed of a combination of two or more inorganic materials. Objective. The study aims to synthesis mullite-zirconia using the sol-gel method and observe the influence of zirconia on the particle characteristics of the filler including the size of the diameter, distribution and charge of the filler. Methods. The design of this study is descriptive explorative. The study consisted of four sample groups: 100% mullite (M); 85% Muliite - 15% zirconia (MZ15); 80% Mullite - 20% circonia(MZ20); 75% mullites - 25% zirconía (MZ25). The mullite-zirconia filler synthesis was initiated by mixing the hydrolyzed-precursor after hydrolysis stage then were dried for 6 hours at 100 °C. The ZrO2 was mixed with the Mullite according to the prescribed ratio. The sample was then characterized using Particle size analysis and Zeta potential (HORIBA) Result. The results showed that the mullite-zirconia particle sizes decrease as the amount of zirconia added after the hydrolysis phase increases. Sample M, MZ15 and MZ20 showed polydisperse particle distribution while MZ25 showed monodispersed particle distribution. Mullite and mullite-zirconia particle loads in the range of 10-30 mV. This shows that the stability of the particle is incipient Conclusion. Nano-sized mullite-zirconia particles were successfully synthesized using sol-gel methods. Increased zirconium in the mullite-zirconia ratio decreased the diameter of the particle and particle load and resulted in a more homogeneous particle distribution

Objectives: Many single nucleotide polymorphisms affect the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This investigation aimed to consider the frequency of the C677T single nucleotide polymorphism of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene in Alzheimer’s patients. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in two groups of control (n = 80) and patient (n = 80) with a ratio of 1: 1 male to female. Amplification-refractory mutation system-Polymerase Chain Reaction (ARMS-PCR) method was used to study mutations and ELISA was used to measure homocysteine and the chemiluminescence method was used to measure cholesterol, vitamin B12 and folate. Results: Based on the results of the PCR test of the MTHFR gene, the incidence rate of mutation in the healthy allele was 44.6% and in the mutant allele was 27.9% of the total study population. Conclusion: In this study, it was discovered that an increase in cholesterol levels is related with an increased risk of developing the disease, but more studies are needed to confirm this. It should also be noted that this increase is not related to the MTHFR gene polymorphism at the C677T position.

Published: August 2024

Background: A review of the tobacco control initiatives indicates that the evolution of tobacco control and public health into complex interconnected systems requires approaches and methodologies based on the dynamic nature of this environment. This study attempts to view tobacco control policies from the perspective of systemic dynamics. Materials and Methods: The research methodology is based on the stages of system dynamics. Results: Through the model’s analysis, two primary smoking control policies are proposed: First, a strategy focused on reducing consumption through enhanced awareness and ongoing monitoring via an active learning program, and second, enhancing the smoking cessation rate by establishing dedicated clinics and utilizing cultural approaches that condemn smoking. Conclusion: Using either a system dynamics approach or qualitative and descriptive methods, tobacco studies reveal no quantitative decision support system to measure the effectiveness of the policies guiding the development of this system. This gap inhibits the identification of the root cause of the problem and improves the behavior of essential variables with dynamic hypotheses. A fundamental issue in the development of any model is access to valuable and accurate data, a resource not readily and transparently available in Iran.
