The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a vital component of Technology and Vocational Education (TVE) programs, designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge acquired in classrooms and real- world applications in various industries. This study aims to explore the attitudes of TVE students towards SIWES and identify factors such as gender and trade-area influencing their perceptions. The research employed a structured questionnaire, the questionnaire included items assessing students' perceptions of SIWES in cognitive (what they think about it), affective (how they feel about it), and behavioral (how they react to it). The findings demonstrated that TVE students had low understanding of the usefulness of SIWES (Cognitive), as such had low preference in terms of self-confidence, motivation (Affective), hence, the students most likely did not make the best out of SIWES. Students also expressed concerns about gender inequality in terms of learning opportunities. Furthermore, the study uncovered various strategies agreed upon by students to enhance their attitudes towards SIWES, including clearer guidelines, pre-SIWES orientation programs, mentorship opportunities, regular feedback, and team-building activities. This research contributes to the understanding of students' attitudes towards SIWES within the context of TVE and offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in designing interventions to optimize students' experiences during the program. The findings underscore the importance of addressing gender related disparities and tailoring SIWES to meet students' specific needs, ensuring the program's effectiveness as a bridge between academic knowledge and practical skills in the dynamic world of technology and vocational education.

Authors: Niu Cuili , Bai Xiaowei , Gui Xiuyin , Liang Yuanzhe , Zhang Ling
Published: August 2024

Purpose:

We aimed to develop and validate a predictive score to estimate the post-operative recurrence risk after laparoscopic excision of ovarian endometrioma (OMA).

Patients and Methods:

The prediction score was developed using a training set comprising 431 patients with OMA who underwent laparoscopic surgery at our institution between January 2015 and September 2017. A follow-up period of at least 5 years was required. Clinical data were entered into least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression to build a scoring system that predicted OMA recurrence. A testing set containing 185 patients from October 2017 to October 2018 was used to assess its performance.

Results:

Based on LASSO regression, the final score (ACSAP score) included five clinical predictors (0–15 points): Age, cyst size, previous surgery for OMA, revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine stage and post-operative pregnancy. The area under the curve values of the score were 0.741 (0.765) and 0.727 (0.795) for predicting 3-year and 5-year OMA recurrence, respectively, in the training (testing) set. The score stratified patients into three risk groups in both sets, with significant differences in the 5-year recurrence rates (low-risk, 5.3% [0%]; intermediate-risk, 20.2% [16.5%] and high-risk, 48.0% [36.5%]; P < 0.001). Moreover, patients in the intermediate- and high-risk groups exhibited a significant reduction in the 5-year cumulative recurrence following a minimum of 15-month post-operative medical treatment (both P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

The ACSAP score may be a concise and useful tool for identifying patients with a higher risk of OMA recurrence after surgery who might receive long-term post-operative medical treatment.

Effects of Chitosan Membrane on Osteogenesis and Oral Wound Healing: A Literature Review
Authors: Dewi Ni Putu Dian Cipta , Dewi Ni Putu Sulistiawati
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Chitosan is a compound produced from processed shrimp shell waste that has an important role in the medical industry. Chitosan is a straight-chain amino polysaccharide compound consisting of glucosamine monomers (poly-1,4-D- glucosamine) linked through (1-4) β-glycosidic bonds, derived from deacetylated chitin. In dentistry, chitosan plays an important role in wound healing and bone formation (osteogenesis).
Review: This literature aims to further explain the effectiveness of chitosan membranes in bone formation and wound healing in the oral cavity. Osteoblasts are new bone-forming cells, including the process of breaking down old bone and replacing it with new, healthier bone. Chitosan membranes can reduce osteoclast activity and prevent further bone resorption. Chitosan membrane plays a role in reducing the production of prostaglandin E2 and inflammatory cytokines namely Interleukin-1, Interleukin-6, and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α which play a role in the differentiation and activation of osteoclast cells directly through the activator of kβ ligand receptors. The wound healing process is dynamic and complex through systematic steps such as hemostatic, inflammatory, proliferative, and regenerative phases. Many studies have shown that chitosan membranes can accelerate wound healing by increasing the productivity of inflammatory cells.
Conclusion: Chitosan membrane is very effective in promoting osteoclastogenesis, because it can stimulate macrophage cells to reduce the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) mediators, resulting in osteoclast cellular activity can be inhibited and osteoblast formation can be increased. Chitosan membrane plays an important role in accelerating wound healing by increasing the production of inflammatory mediators such as macrophages, fibroblasts, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), and osteoblasts.

Introduction: Three interrelated elements are responsible for creating an ideal smile: teeth, gingiva, and lips. The current concept of aesthetics focuses not only on the teeth but on the gingiva as well, thus make these two elements important and related to one another. Maintaining the healthy condition of periodontal tissue around the teeth is vital for functional and aesthetic aspects. Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure to increase the length of clinical crowns to achieve an ideal crown to gingival ratio with or without bone reduction. Crown lengthening procedures require a good understanding of biological width and how to achieve it. This case report aims to demonstrate the success of crown lengthening with ostectomy for the treatment of excessive gingival display in post orthodontic treatment patients.
Case: A 25-year-old female patient came to the periodontic clinic on referral from an orthodontic, for correction of a disproportionate dental condition after braces treatment was completed. Treatment: Clinical examination showed disproportionate length and width of crowns due to excessive gingival display and gingival enlargement in the region of teeth 33 to 43.
Case Management: In this case report, crown lengthening treatment was performed from teeth 13 to 23 with open flap for ostectomy and flap was restored with sling suture, contact point repair on teeth 12 and 22, and gingivectomy on mandibular anterior teeth.
Conclusion: Aesthetic crown lengthening surgery results in a high satisfaction level of the patient and predictable and stable results.

This research highlights a very relevant issue, namely the context of the interaction between religion and politics in contemporary interpretation The discussion on the role of religion in politics never ends. Islam is considered the last and perfect religion because of its universal scope, covering contemporary issues such as politics and governance. Islamic historians have produced a great deal of literature on this topic, with almost all schools of Islam discussing it, especially in the context of revivalists and modernists in the modern era. By using the Library research type research method, while the approach used by the author is analytical-constructive-critical, the interpretation method used is a thematic interpretation approach to analyze verses relevant to the research theme, with an emphasis on Contemporary Interpretation. To find out the interaction of religion and politics in the context of contemporary interpretation. This research aims to explore the concept of politics in the perspective of Contemporary Interpretation and its relevance to the relationship between religion and the state. The findings of the study show that the concept of politics in Contemporary Interpretation identifies the existence of a dualism between rational effort that can be understood through human ability, and a superrational dimension that is unreachable by logic. This concept is relevant to the pragmatic relationship between religion and the state, where the state is considered to be in line with religious values if its leader practices worship rituals with obedience.

Inflammation involves the release of several mediators which result to edema at the site of injury or infection. In the past years, probiotics have been utilized as alternative treatments for inflammation due to their immunomodulatory properties. In the present study, the effects of two different concentrations of commercially multi-strain probiotics in carrageenan-induced paw edema in male ICR mice were investigated. Four groups were used in the study; Group A mice were administered with carrageenan alone. Group B mice were injected with diclofenac drug while Groups C and D were both treated with 5% and 10% concentrations of multi-strain probiotics respectively prior to the administration of carrageenan. Two-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey’s post-hoc test was used to analysed the differences between paw thicknesses of each group. Carrageenan-induced inflammation in mice was described as biphasic having an early phase that lasts for 6 hours and a late phase that peaks at 72 hours. The results have shown that the commercial multi-strain probiotic have mildly reduced the inflammation in the first phase of inflammation. Higher or doubled concentration (10%) of the multi- strain probiotics has significantly reduced the first phase of inflammation compared to the recommended concentration of 5%. Furthermore, mice from all the groups underwent motility test and they were able to move their inflamed paw easily. The inflammation caused by carrageenan in this study is found to be biphasic having its low intensity paw edema in the first phase and peak of inflammation at the second phase. The commercially procured multi-strain probiotic have mildly reduced the inflammation in the first phase of inflammation compared to the effects of existing anti-inflammatory drug, diclofenac sodium used in this study.

Authors: Sureja Nitesh , Chaudhari Nandini , Patel Priyanka , Bhatt Jalpa , Desai Tushar , Parikh Vruti
Published: August 2024

Natural Language Processing (NLP) uses Sentiment Analysis (SA) to determine text sentiment. SA is often used on text datasets to assess consumer demands, the sentiment of the customer for a product, and brand monitoring. Deep Learning (DL) is a subset of Machine Learning (ML) that mimics how humans learn. In this work, the Deep Learning Reptile Search Algorithm (SA-DLRSA) model is introduced for accurate automatic SA. The SA-DLRSA model utilizes Word2Vec word embedding to reduce language processing that is dependent on data pre-processing. The SA-DLRSA model utilizes SVM, CNN, RNN, BiLSTM, and BERT models for sentiment classification. Choosing the optimal hyperparameters is crucial for determining the model's architecture, functionality, performance, and accuracy. The Reptile Search Algorithm (RSA) is employed to find the best optimal hyperparameters to improve classification. A derived balanced dataset based on the tweets related to bitcoins was employed as a training dataset, which contains three sentiments, namely "neutral", "positive", and negative". The collection has 7 columns and 50058 rows, consisting of 21938 neutral, 22937 positive, and 5183 negative tweets. Precision, accuracy, recall, and F1 Score metrics were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results showed that the BERT and BiLSTM classifiers achieved superior performance in classifying sentiments in the tweets achieving accuracies of 99% and 98%, respectively. Due to the promising results of the proposed approach, it is anticipated to be used in solutions to social media problems, such as hate speech detection and emotion detection.

Published: August 2024

The primary goal of this practical lab analysis was to obtain a sustainable and eco-friendly Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC), by lowering the consumption of natural resources and energy and utilizing plastic waste. The experiment performed involved six RCC mixes with partial weight replacement of coarse or fine aggregate of specified percentages with waste plastic along with a reference mixture (R.M), utilizing different curing methods, namely spraying with water two times per day, immersing in water, and utilizing ISO SMART CURING W 1035 material. Three types of plastic were used in the analysis: polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as coarse aggregate replacement and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as fine aggregate replacement. The mixes were tested regarding compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strength. The results of the study indicate that the RCC containing 10% PVC (CP10) exhibited a reduction in compressive strength of 5.25, 5.69, and 5.99% for water, spray, and coating curing, respectively at 28 days related to the R.M, followed by the mix including 20% PVC (CP20) with a decrease ratio of 12.79, 13.52, and 13.20%. Mixtures with 5% PET and HDPE (FP5, FH5) can be accepted, since their results were nearest to R.M with a percentage decrease of 4.16, 3.52, and 3.74% for PET and 3.18, 3.13, and 3.14%for HDPE. Treating with coating material achieved the best results, exhibiting improvement in compressive, flexural, and tensile splitting strength, while the water spray method performed worse than water curing.

A importância da cobertura florestal é imprescindível para a sobrevivência de várias espécies, seja da fauna ou da Flora, e até humana, que podem e causam grandes impactos ambientais e climáticos. O crescimento desordenado da população sem o mínimo de planejamento ambiental causa degradação do solo, fazendo com que os recursos naturais e a preservação dos ecossistemas sejam prejudicados. Os métodos utilizados na pesquisa são feitos através de observações feitas por satélites, mesclagens de bandas espctrais para fazer a análise da cobertura do solo entre os anos de 1986 – 2023. Os resultados obtidos da pesquisa nos mostram como o crescimento populacional e desenfreado causa perda florestal, degrada o solo e, com essa perda verde, problemas relacionados ao clima, como o aumento da temperatura,empobrecimento do solo e perda de recursos hídricos, se relacionam, fazendo com que a população local tenha dificuldade. Entende-se que precisa de uma intervenção de órgãos capacitados para lidar com os problemas e transmitir conhecimento para essa população.
