Authors: Siagian Roida Eva Flora , Marliani Novi , Aqisna Dyska Printia
Published: January 2023

There are several factors that contribute to low independence in learning, one of which is the ability of the students themselves. This study aimed to find out how independent learning affects students' ability to solve mathematical problems. The study's population was made up of 36 class X students at SMK Dewantara Cibinong. The students were observed in order to gather data for the study. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach to examine the correlation between two variables. The study aimed to find out whether there is a link between being able to learn independently and being good at solving mathematical problems relating to two-variable linear programming. The study used a self-learning questionnaire and a test of mathematical problem-solving abilities to collect data. The data analysis used in this study included a product moment correlation analysis to measure the relationship between independent learning and mathematical problem solving abilities. The results of this study suggest that independent learning does not have a significant impact on solving math problems for class X students of SMK Dewantara Cibinong.

Published: January 2023

This study attempts to examine and describe how parents' social position and surroundings can affect their children's vocabulary competence when learning Indonesian. Based on behaviorism theory's tenets, which are also backed by cognitivism theory. According to this hypothesis, a child's (exogenous) environment has a significant impact on their ability to acquire a language, particularly when it comes to developing their vocabulary. Both of these strands categorically rejected Nativism, which maintained that the ability to speak a language is an innate and biological gift (LAD). The mastery of children's linguistic vocabulary is thought to be unaffected by the surroundings. This study analyzes, but it also demonstrates how the environment affects young children's language and vocabulary development 3;0-5;0 at the Bustanul Athafal Early Childhood Education, Singgaran Pati District, Bengkulu City, TA. 2020/2021. The results showed that the influence of environmental intake on children's Indonesian vocabulary mastery was calculated by product-moment correlation and then used the formula: d = r². 100% obtained value = 0.49%. This means that the magnitude of the influence of environmental (exogenous) intake on children's mastery of Indonesian vocabulary is 49% and 51% is influenced by endogenous factors.

State-of-the-Art in Data Integrity and Privacy-Preserving in Cloud Computing
Authors: Abdul-Jabbar Mariam Duraid , S. Aldeen Yousra Abdul Alsahib
Published: January 2023

Cloud computing (CC) is a fast-growing technology that offers computers, networking, and storage services that can be accessed and used over the internet. Cloud services save users money because they are pay-per-use, and they save time because they are on-demand and elastic, a unique aspect of cloud computing. However, several security issues must be addressed before users store data in the cloud. Because the user will have no direct control over the data that has been outsourced to the cloud, particularly personal and sensitive data (health, finance, military, etc.), and will not know where the data is stored, the user must ensure that the cloud stores and maintains the outsourced data appropriately. The study's primary goals are to make the cloud and data security challenges more understandable, to briefly explain the techniques used to achieve privacy and data integrity, to compare various recent studies in both pre-quantum and post-quantum, and to focus on current gaps in solving privacy and data integrity issues.
Israelis in Post-Soviet Countries: “Professionals,” “Marginals,” and Others
Authors:   Bar-Ilan University, Israel Ariel University, Khanin Vladimir (Ze’ev)
Published: January 2023

According to various estimates, between forty-five thousand to seventy thousand Israeli citizens currently live in former USSR states; and more than 90% of them are natives of these states. This community includes both those who left Israel for the FSU, or share their time between their two countries having lived for a substantial number of years in Israel, and the significant number of persons who obtained an Israeli passport (darkon) but never lived for long in Israel. Drawing on available official statistical data, as well as data produced by sociological studies of these groups conducted in 2009-2019 under my supervision, I conclude that the Israeli Diaspora in the FSU can be defined as a “community of professionals.” People’s migration or, in the overwhelming majority of cases, their decision to refrain from full Aliya to Israel was motivated by a wish to better use their professional and business skills in large former USSR industrial, commercial, and culture centers. People who (re-)immigrated to the FSU for other reasons occupy a marginal position in their Jewish communities. As a result, continued economic decline in Russia and the CIS may stimulate a new resettlement of these Israelis in Israel.
“Marginal Name”: Peculiarity of the Soviet Jewish Names
Authors:   Institute of Slavic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Amosova Svetlana
Published: January 2023

This article discusses the mechanisms and strategies for choosing names that were adopted by Jews in the 1920s and 1930s. It draws upon material recorded during field work in 2000-2022 in Ukraine, Moldova, and Russia, as well analysis of announcements about changes of names in the Bulletin of the Leningrad Regional Executive Committee and the Leningrad Council from 1924 to 1932. Soviet laws in the first years after the revolution allowed citizens to freely change their names; as a consequence, religious institutions lost their previous control over the matter. This led to the development of new practices for naming, as well as the use of new names entirely. Not only was the tradition of giving names in honor of a deceased relative preserved, it was transformed.

_ is article, based on archival sources, examines the life of the Jewish master-“shmukler” Chaim Goshiovich, a life which spanned three reigns— from CatherineIIto AlexanderI. Goshiovich was a supplier to the Russian army and was in contact with the Russian Empire’s highest dignitaries at the end of the eighteenth century, among them Prince G.A. Potemkin (who was tolerant of the Jews) and Count A.A.Bezborodko. Although Goshiovich lost prestige with the death of his sponsor General Field Marshal Potemkin, he continued to practice his cra` , presenting CatherineIIwith a gold-embroidered skirt and shawl and AlexanderIwith a carpet. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Chaim Goshiovich may have participated in the organization of the St. Petersburg Jewish community, and the name of his profes-sion— shmukler— became his surname. _ is article presents a fresh perspective on the question of the integration into Russian imperial society of former Polish Jews who were engaged in petty trade and cra` s. While on the one hand Goshiovich’s story a ts into the framework of the general process such of integration, on the other hand it indicates the existence of opportunities for professional individuals to establish close business relationships with representatives of the Russian aristocracy.

إن الصلاح ‌سلوك ‌طَرِيق ‌الْهدى أو استقامة الْحَال على مَا يَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ الْعقل، والصالح: الْمُسْتَقيم الْحَال فِي نَفسه. فان كلّ ما يؤدّي إلى الكفّ عن المعاصي أو الفساد أو إلى فعل الخير وما فيه النفع فهو إصلاح. أما الفساد ‌خروج ‌الشيء عن الاعتدال، قليلا كان الخروج عنه أو كثيرا، ويضادّه الصّلاح، ويستعمل ذلك في النّفس، والبدن، والأشياء الخارجة عن الاستقامة، ومن اسباب الفساد اتباع الهوى والظلم والطغيان والتسلط على رقاب الناس، وقد جعل الله تعالى للمفسدين عقوبات عاجلة في الدنيا كالإصابة بالآفات والأمراض والعلل ، وخراب الديار والعمران. وقد اقر البحث أن كلمة صلح وردت بكافة مشتقاتها وصيغها (169) مرة مراعاة للسياق القرآني ،وقد وردت كلمة الفساد ومشتقاتها 50 مرة في القرآن الكريم، واتسع معناها ليشمل الفساد العقائدي، والسلوكي، والأمني، والمالي، بالإضافة إلى بطش الحكام وظلمهم.
الانزياح الدلالي في قصيدة غريب على الخليج للشاعر بدر شاكر السياب (دراسة بنيوية تحليلية)
Authors: رنا هشام منصور م. م.
Published: January 2023

يدور بحثنا حول ظاهرة الانزياح بعدّهِ مفهوماً بلاغياً واسلوباً يمثل المعاني تمثيلاً جديداً ومبتكراً داخل النص الشعري، أذ يعدّ الانزياح هجوماً على الوحدات الشعرية المستقرة الراكدة، وخرق للعادة، أو هو استنباط للحي ورفض للتحنيط والتقيد والتقليد، فالانزياح يرفض استعمال الكلمات بأوضاعها القاموسية وقوالبها الجادة لأَنها لا تنتج الشعرية إنما ينتجها الخروج عن المألوف وخروج الكلمات عن طبيعتها الراسخة المتعارض عليها إلى طبيعة جديدة، فالانزياح من الظواهر التي ترتب النص الشعري ترتيباً جديداً وتصيغه متفرداً ومميزاً فيقوم الانزياح بالعدول عن الصيغ الابلاغية في القول إلى صيغ ايحائية ذات دلالات تعبيرية تضاعف الدهشة والغرابة في الخطاب الشعري فتفتح آفاقاً تأويلية للنص.
وقد جاء بحثنا مقسما على مبحثين : أما المبحث الأول منه فكان توضيحاً لمفهوم الانزياح وتعريفاً به لغةً واصطلاحاً، ومفهوم الانزياح الدلالي (التصويري) وعلاقته ببنية النص الداخلية، أما المبحث الثاني، فيضم دراسة تطبيقية عن مفهوم الانزياح وكيفية اشتغاله في النصوص الشعرية لا سيما في نصوص (بدر شاكر السياب)، وذلك من خلال عرض أنواع الانزياح ومنها الانزياح الدلالي والانزياح الاستبدالي ويشرح ظواهر الانزياح الدلالي مثل التكرار الصوتي والتكرار اللفظي والتكرار الحرفي لبعض الالفاظ، ثم خلص البحث إلى جملة من النتائج التي تعرض مظاهر الانزياح في شعر (بدر شاكر السياب) ودورها في خلق بنية ايقاعية جديدة للنص الشعري من خلال مظاهر الانزياح، التي تعمق شعرية النص لم يكن لها أنَّ تتحقق لولا وجود الانزياحات.

Published: January 2023

Although fintech and collaborative funding platforms have evolved into sophisticated information and interaction systems, it is still complex to measure their social impact, especially when it comes to public value-driven platforms such as civic crowdfunding. Addressing this problematic question, at both the conceptual and technical levels, in this article we present a novel dynamic system framework and implementation for assessing the social impact of crowdfunding campaigns through the Goteo.org platform. Our contribution derives from an interdisciplinary team effort led by the non-profit Platoniq Foundation (founder and main promoter of the Goteo platform) in which social researchers and software developers worked together in order to improve the accuracy and visibility of crowdfunding campaigns in relation to their social impact. This approach for calculating and visualizing social impact, as a proof-of-concept, is based on a methodological framework inspired by previous advancements in the non-profit and social responsibility sectors, integrating user-generated data and external data sources and indicators. As a recently launched system, in its current implementation on Goteo it integrates the first version of a virtual calculator embedded in the campaign design interface. This new digital affordance allows project promoters to better estimate monetary and non-monetary-related impact regarding social value, public return of investment and other specific concepts related to their initiative if successfully crowdfunded. Results of this social impact calculator, which translates diverse value variables and proxies into economic estimations, is also made visible to all users as potential campaign donors, and operates in connection with previously implemented SDGs indicators and social, democratic and ecological footprints in the Goteo system.

Published: January 2023

Background : Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms are rare and heterogenous disease which often clinically present as appendicitis. There are many controversies regarding the classification of mucinous neoplasms of the appendix.
Aims and Objectives: Our aim of this study was to study different types of mucinous neoplasms of appendix based on current ( WHO 2019) classification, their clinical and radiological presentations and controversies regarding their diagnosis.
Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study done in a tertiary care hospital. We studied clinical presentations of 21 cases  along with the histopathological study of respective appendectomy specimens .
 Results: Out of 21 cases, 3 (14.28%) cases were serrated polyp, 9 cases (42.85%) were Low grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN), 3 cases (14.28%) were high grade appendiceal neoplasm (HAMN) and 6 (28.57%) cases were mucinous adenocarcinoma. In this study we have discussed in brief about regarding the current classification and controversies of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms.
Conclusion: Mucinous neoplasms of the appendix are complex lesions with many controversies. Oversimplification in the recent classification may add to more complexity. Reintroduction of  the old terminology of Mucinous Tumour of Uncertain Malignant Potential might save histopathologists from potential litigation.

Published: January 2023

Background: Chronic anal fissure is a common benign anorectal condition that causes significant morbidity. Symptoms consist primarily of pain and bleeding during defecation. Fissures are predominantly located in the posterior midline, but 25% of women and 8% of men have anterior fissures.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study is to determine the outcome of various nonsurgical therapy for chronic anal fissure and comparison with the outcome of surgical treatment.
Materials and Methods: This study was a non-randomized and observational study. All patients referred to the department of general surgery between December 2012 and November 2014 for a chronic anal fissure were included in the study, above the age of 12 years, and diagnosed to have anal fissure (Both Acute and Chronic) were included in the study.
Results: Seventy-nine patients (91.9%) were having symptoms of pain; this pain was persistent for hours after defecation in 67 (78%) patients. Seventy-one (82.6%) patients complained of at least one episode of bleeding per Anum, other symptoms were perianal lump (10.5%), perianal itching (23.3%), and perianal discharge (30.2%). The examination findings of these patients revealed that 81 patients (94%) had developed sentinelpiles subsequently and anal fissure with visible fibers of underlying muscle were seen in 9 (10.5%) patients.
Conclusion: Chronic anal fissures can be simply and effectively treated medically without the risk of incontinence associated with sphincterotomy. Topical nifedipine and botulinum toxin injections are an excellent combination, associated with a low recurrence rate and minimal side effects.

Authors: Tapati Mondal  , Abhik Sarkar  , Surya Jyati Chaudhuri  , Julius Rahaman
Published: January 2023

Background: India is one of the top most country among the high tuberculosis (TB) burden countries and ranks the third highest human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) burden country in the world contributing to 23% of the total global load. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and HIV are known to act synergistically and result in higher mortality rates. TB-HIV coinfection and emergence of drug resistant forms of MTB can impact positively on treatment outcomes.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine of the prevalence of TB-HIV co-infection among MTB and to determine the prevalence of rifampicin (RIF) resistant TB among HIV seropositive patients.
Materials and Methods: It was a retrospective and observational study carried out in the Department of Microbiology, Malda Medical College, Malda, West Bengal. Records of all patients that tested using CBNAAT during March 2016–December 2019 in the CBNAAT laboratory of Malda Medical College were assessed. Data generated during this period were collected and analyzed. The statistical analysis was done in tabulation form and different charts and tables were used for displaying data.
Results: A total of 6503 samples were tested in CBNAAT laboratory during March 2016–December 2019. Out of 6503, 3098 samples were positive for CBNAAT (MTB detected).Of 3098 MTB, 8.91% (276/3098) were RIF resistant. Among 3098 MTB, 91.22% (2826/3098) were pulmonary TB (PTB) and 8.78% (272/3098) were extra PTB. Out of 6503 total samples, 664 were reported patients living with HIV. The prevalence of TB-HIV coinfection was 3.91% (121/3098) among MTB positive cases. Of all TB-HIV coinfected cases, most of the patients (67.77%) were in the age group of 20–39 years and males (77.69%) contributed to more than females. Of 121 TB-HIV coinfected, 88.43% (107/121) were sensitive to RIF and 11.57% (14/121) were resistant to RIF.
Conclusion: The present study reported that the prevalence of TB-HIV coinfection was 3.91% and the prevalence of RIF resistant TB in HIV seropositive patients was higher than HIV seronegative patients. Thus, all TB patients should be screened for HIV and all HIV-positive individuals should be screened for TB along with drug resistance for better management.

Published: January 2023

Background: It is clinically difficult to assess the intravascular volume status of children with edema in nephrotic syndrome. This makes decision-making challenging, regarding the use of diuretics or albumin infusion in the management of edema. Ideally, hormonal assay and central venous pressure monitoring are accurate but difficult to do as these methods are invasive and expensive to be applied to every child presenting with edema of nephrotic syndrome. Hence, the need for reliable non-invasive investigations to assess the volume status of children with edema.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the volume status of children with edema due to steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome using noninvasive methods such as urinary indices (Fractional excretion of sodium (FeNa) and urine Potasium index (K index)) and inferior venacava diameter (IVCD) by ultrasonography and to determine the association between them.
Materials and Methods: In this analytical cross-sectional study, 82 subjects fitting the inclusion criteria were included in the study. FeNa, K index and IVCD were determined. The volume status was assessed and association between the three calculated (Fischer exact test).
Results: Out of 82 children, 56.1%, 68.3%, and 63.5% based on FeNa, K index, and IVCD respectively were having hypervolemic volume status. There is a statistically significant association between FeNa and K index and between urinary indices and IVCD.
Conclusion: The present study supports the overfill hypothesis of edema formation. IVCD like urinary indices is a non-invasive and reliable investigation to determine volume status in nephrotic child with edema.

Published: January 2023

Background: Benign and malignant lesions of breast are one of the most common causes of palpable masses seen in women. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the important modality of diagnosis of breast lumps. Previously, there were no uniform criteria for reporting breast FNAC. To overcome this problem, the newly designed system – International Academy of Cytology (IAC) – Yokohama system of reporting was implemented in 2016. The system offers a structured report to the patient.
Aims and Objectives: This study aims to categorize breast FNAC according to the IAC – Yokohama system of reporting, to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and diagnostic accuracy of the test, and to analyze the cytomorphological spectrum of various breast lesions.
Materials and Methods: A total of 210 patients presenting with breast lump in cytology section were subjected to FNAC using a 22 gauge needle under all aseptic precautions. Detailed clinical history was taken. All cytology and histopathology examination slides (wherever available) were thoroughly studied. FNAC smears were reported using IAC – Yokohama system of reporting.
Results: In our study, benign category (C2) was most commonly seen in 73.33% of cases, followed by 10.48% of cases of atypical probably benign (C3), 2.38% of cases were reported as suspicious (C4), and 11.43% of cases were reported as malignant (C5). Cytohistopathological concordance was seen in 38 cases (88.4%) whereas five cases were reported as discordant. Sensitivity and specificity of the test for the diagnosis of malignancy were 81% and 100%, respectively. PPV was 100%. NPV was 90.90%. Diagnostic accuracy of the test was 93.47%.
Conclusion: The newer IAC – Yokohama system of reporting of breast FNAC is simple, has clear diagnostic criteria hence boost up the confidence as well has uniformity of reporting by cytopathologist, and increases the understanding and uniformity in assessment by the attending clinician which help in improving the communication between the pathologist and the treating clinician.
Coronary perivascular adipose tissue inflammation – An autopsy-based histomorphological study from a tertiary care hospital in South India
Authors: Chaithra Jadhav  , Marak Fremingston , Bharathi Pradeep
Published: January 2023

Background: The connective tissue around the blood vessels in the body (except cerebral vessels) is called perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT). Whenever there is a vascular pathology, PVAT increases in volume and becomes dysfunctional. This change promotes dedifferentiation of adipocytes. PVAT inflammation (PVATi) starts secreting anti-vasodilation and pro-inflammatory substance, leading to infiltration of inflammatory immune cells, endothelial dysfunction which initiates atherosclerosis followed by stenosis. It is now recognized that PVATi plays an important role in many vascular pathologies.
Aims and Objectives: The objectives of the study were (1) to estimate the prevalence of coronary PVATi in an autopsy case, (2) to determine the coronary atherosclerotic changes and cardiac changes associated with PVATi, and (3) to correlate the association of PVATi with age and sex.
Materials and Methods: Autopsy-based retrospective study done for a period of 1 year. From the autopsy requisition form, details such as age, gender, cause of death (COD), and gross findings of the organs were noted. The left coronary artery, right coronary artery, left anterior descending artery, left circumflex artery, and myocardium slides were reviewed microscopically to note the presence of PVATi, type of inflammatory infiltrate, atherosclerotic changes, percentage of stenosis, and associated cardiac changes. Range, frequencies, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and P-value were calculated. P<0.05 was taken as statistically significant.
Results: Fifty-two cases showed PVATi among 400 autopsy cases performed during the period of 1 year. Forty-two cases were from males and 10 cases were from female. The most common COD noted was sudden death following chest pain. Ten cases showed PVATi involving major branches of the coronary artery. Thirty-six cases showed hypertrophic changes in myocardium. Acute myocardial infarction (MI) and old healed MI were noted in 7 and 23 cases, respectively.
Conclusion: PVATi of coronary arteries has significant association with atherosclerosis and sudden death cardiac death.

Authors: Singh Anoop , Kapoor Raj , Verma Manoj , Saraogi Praveen Raj
Published: January 2023

Background: Road traffic injuries are the seventh most common cause of long bone fractures. Following high velocity limb trauma, the defects in the long bone are usually associated with appreciable soft-tissue losses. These open long bone injuries always require multidisciplinary managements to reconstruct the composite defects of bone and soft tissue.
Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to find out radiological and clinical outcome, complications, and union time in complex and non-union fractures of long bone managed by fibular graft.
Materials and Methods: Out of 50 cases, 40 cases were of complex fractures and ten cases were of non-union. We used Fibular strut grafts in reconstruction of bone defects and soft tissue injury.
Results: Thirty (60.0%) had excellent functional outcome, 10 (20.0%) had good, 6 (12.0%) had satisfactory, and 4 (8.0%) patients had poor outcome. Main complications were non-union 2 cases and 3 cases of superficial wound infection, which subsided by wound dressing and intravenous antibiotic treatment.
Conclusion: Free fibular grafting has been proven to be an ideal choice in the management of large segmental bone defects as well as in situations of biological failure of bone healing.
