Zanim w sierpniu 1920 roku wróg zagroził Warszawie. O roli propagandy w budzeniu ducha walki
Authors: Załęczny Jolanta
Published: February 2023

W roku 1920 propaganda odegrała ważną rolę w mobilizowaniu społeczeństwa polskiego do walki z wrogiem. Zajmowały się nią instytucje cywilne i wojskowe. W działania propagandowe włączyły się środowiska literatów oraz plastyków – autorów plakatów propagandowych. Artyści tworzyli wiele dzieł o charakterze użytkowym w celach propagandowych. Mieli więc swój wkład w wygraną w wojnie z wrogą armią. Obok plakatów powstawały broszury, ulotki, teksty publicystyczne oraz utwory literackie. Największą siłę oddziaływania miały jednak plakaty publikowane w prasie, umieszczane na murach budynków, prezentowane podczas manifestacji. Dominowały te o wymowie zdecydowanie antybolszewickiej, ukazujące wroga jako potwora, demonizujące jego wizerunek, budzące skrajne emocje i apelujące do patriotycznego obowiązku każdego Polaka. Osobną grupę stanowiły drukowane masowo plakaty werbunkowe zachęcające do wstąpienia do Armii Ochotniczej. Portretowano Józefa Piłsudskiego. Wykorzystywano jego wizerunek jako symbol walk niepodległościowych. Plakaty, podobnie jak i inne przykłady sztuki użytkowej były orężem psychologicznym w walce z propagandą bolszewicką. Każdy z plakatów można analizować na płaszczyźnie artystycznej, ale z punktu widzenia historycznego najważniejszy jest przekaz propagandowy.
Przygotowanie kolei polskich do mobilizacji i wojny w 1939 roku. Rola gen. bryg. Aleksandra Szychowskiego
Authors: Wojtaszak Andrzej
Published: February 2023

Wśród wielu problemów związanych z funkcjonowania państwa, przed którymi stanęła powstała po I wojnie światowej Rzeczpospolita Polska, jednym z ważniejszych była konieczność odbudowy i rozwoju transportu, którego ważnym elementem było kolejnictwo. Odziedziczona po zaborcach infrastruktura kolejowa oraz jej poziom rozwoju w znaczny sposób różniły się od siebie. W odróżnieniu od zaboru pruskiego i austriackiego słabiej rozwinięte było kolejnictwo zaboru rosyjskiego. Zniszczenia wojenne były widoczne, zarówno w sprzęcie kolejowym, jak i liniach kolejowych, mostach, wiaduktach, składnicach czy dworcach kolejowych, co pokazywało ogrom przedsięwzięć, przed którymi stało odradzające się państwo. Rozwój połączeń kolejowych był ważny nie tylko dla gospodarki, ale ze względu na geopolityczne położenie Polski, jej bezpieczeństwo i obronność. Od początku planowania wojskowego w Sztabie Generalnym (Głównym), Generalnym Inspektoracie Sił Zbrojnych czy Ministerstwie Spraw Wojskowych zakładano konieczność stworzenia możliwości szybkiego przemieszczania się transportów wojskowych w potrzebne rejony kraju. W okresie poprzedzającym wybuch II wojny światowej powstawały plany wojenne, dotyczące również komunikacji wojskowych (mobilizacja alarmowa i powszechna, transporty wojenne), uwzględniające konflikt z Niemcami lub ZSRS. W pracach nad tymi planami brała udział grupa Szefostwa Komunikacji Wojskowych Naczelnego Wodza, kierowana przez ministra komunikacji Juliusza Urlicha. W gronie tym ważną rolę odegrał szef Eszelonu I, gen. bryg. Aleksander Szychowski. Przedmiotem analiz w prezentowanym artykule jest jego ocena prac nad przygotowaniem planów transportowych (w ramach planu wojennego „Z”) oraz skuteczności ich wykonania.

A interpretação dos dogmas orientalistas por intermédio das imagens
Authors: Silva Leonardo Luiz Silveira da , Rezende Jamerson Sérgio Passos
Published: February 2023

O Orientalismo foi construído por meio da experiência colonial e do estranhamento entre as cosmologias entre o Ocidente e o Oriente. Destaca-se como referência dos estudos orientalistas o autor Edward Saïd. Para ele, as práticas orientalistas são passíveis de serem identificadas por meio de quatro dogmas, a saber: as diferenças de desenvolvimento entre o Ocidente e o Oriente, a preferência pela descrição do Oriente clássico em detrimento do moderno, a visão utópica do Oriente visto como eterno o temor nutrido pelo Ocidente frente ao Oriente. A Arte Orientalista, exemplificada neste artigo por meio das pinturas temporalmente centradas no século vitoriano, constitui-se como importante ferramenta de interpretação dos dogmas descritos por Saïd. É objetivo deste artigo mostrar que o entendimento da manifestação dogmática do Orientalismo nas pinturas de artistas ocidentais nos capacita a projetá-lo em outras formas de linguagem, aperfeiçoando-nos a leitura crítica e qualificando as nossas relações interpessoais e análises políticas, baseadas, contemporaneamente, no exercício do estranhamento identitário.
Diálogos musicais sul-sul
Authors: Urbano Krystal
Published: February 2023

Partindo da premissa de que conhecer o “Sul desde o Sul” requer tomar consciência da sua imensa diversidade, o artigo discute os intercâmbios musicais estabelecidos entre Brasil e Coreia do Sul, a partir do caso da cantora sul-coreana de bossa nova HeeKyung Na (Heena), tendo em vista os novos desafios e oportunidades que se apresentam no âmbito dos estudos sobre comunicação e música em uma nova paisagem global que parece se afigurar como mais multipolar e descentralizada. Busca-se, dessa forma, conceder visibilidade às trocas musicais “subterrâneas” realizadas por músicos contemporâneos, com gêneros musicais e sonoridades de matrizes culturais não-ocidentais, que demonstram diferentes formas de empréstimo cultural e de apropriação musical entre os países do Sul Global não-imperial.

Published: February 2023

Highlight:

Dual antiplatelet is the gold standard for endovascular treatment of wide-neck aneurysms.
The role of dual antiplatelet is to prevent stent thrombosis after treatment.
The thrombosis rate reported during stent-assisted coiling is quite high.

 
ABSTRACT
Stent-assisted coiling (SAC) in wide-neck aneurysm treatment is associated with antiplatelet use. Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) has been the gold standard for protecting against thrombosis events and is widely accepted for endovascular embolization treatment with a stent-assisted or flow diverter. Some patients experience vascular events due to the reduced efficacy of antiplatelet agents despite taking DAPT. The reported thrombosis rates during stent-assisted coiling embolization range from 2% to 20%. Thromboembolic complications, such as in-stent thrombosis, can manifest in 4.6% of cases. The correlation between platelet reactivity during treatment and bleeding events remains unclear. However, the association between High Residual Platelet Reactivity (HRPR) or hyporesponsiveness and ischemic events is well established. Based on various laboratory definitions, hyperresponsiveness in patients with clopidogrel occurs in about 14–30% of patients due to major and minor bleeding. Therefore, the optimization of antiplatelet therapy has developed significantly in the neurointerventional community.

Published: February 2023

Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major health problem in developed and developing countries. Until now, the death rate due to CHD is the highest in the world. Its risk factors include major modifiable risk factors, such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, smoking, and non-modifiable risk factors. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the major risk factors for the incidence of CHD. Methods: This study employed an unmatched case-control design, with a total sample of 43 cases and 86 controls recruited by a purposive sampling technique. Case samples were CHD patients diagnosed by a cardiologist and control samples were non-CHD patients who visited the cardiac polyclinic, with similar variables of age, sex, and residence. The samples were taken at the integrated heart center of Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, based on the patient medical records. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: The results showed three risk factors that statistically and significantly increased the incidence of CHD, namely history of total cholesterol of ≥240mg/dl with adjusted OR=4.64 (95% CI: 1.60-13.49), type-2 diabetes mellitus with adjusted OR=2.85 (95% CI: 1.16-6.99), and smoking with adjusted OR=2.54 (95% CI: 1.01-6.46). Conclusion: The history of high total cholesterol is statistically the most dominant risk factor for the incidence of CHD.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: According to the results of a survey published in 2022, mobile phone users have reached two-thirds (67.1%) of the world population. This number has increased by 1.8% over the past year, which is equivalent to 95 million new mobile users. However, gadgets are often misused and can cause a health problem called Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). This study aimed to identify risk factors for the occurrence of ocular CVS symptoms among school and college students. Discussion: This study was conducted using the literature review method. The main sources for this study were articles obtained through the selection process by setting inclusion and exclusion criteria. This study showed that from a total of 1,763 articles found, 27 articles met the predetermined criteria. A total of 18 of the 27 articles (66.7%) had college student as respondents, and 24 of the 27 articles used cross-sectional research methods (88.9%). In this study, 16 CVS ocular symptoms were found. The risk factors for CVS were individual characteristics (students aged under 18 years and students aged 18–25 years, and gadget users with contact lenses or glasses), smartphone users, individual habits, and ambient lighting while operating gadgets. Conclusions: This study concludes that students are at risk of experiencing CVS if they do not support gadget use with habits such as implementing rest periods between activities using gadgets.

Published: February 2023

Introduction: Jakarta has recorded heightened air pollution for years, and particulate matter (PM10) is one of the pollutants that could bring health burden in population. This study described the distribution of PM10 as well as analysed the correlation with meteorological parameters during 2020–2021 in Jakarta Province. Methods: Air quality standard index daily data from January 1st 2020 to March 31st 2021 was retrieved from the official data portal (https://data.jakarta.go.id/). The Spearman Rank correlation was employed to understand the correlation between PM10 Index with meteorological factors. Autoregressive Integrative Moving Average (ARIMA) model was constructed and Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) selected the model. Cross-correlation analysis explored the association between PM10 with meteorological parameters at multiple time lags. Results and Discussion: PM10 Index started to increase in April 2020 and reached its peak in August 2020. PM10 was positively correlated with temperature (p-value <0.05, R2: 0.134), but it was negatively correlated with humidity and wind speed (p-value <0.05, R2: -0.392 and -0.129). The high cross-correlation coefficients were found between PM10 and temperature at lag 0, humidity at lag 1 and wind speed at lag 1 (rho: 0.42, -0.38 and -0.24). The time series model ARIMA with parameter (p,d,q) (1,1,1) describes the fluctuation of PM10 index data with AIC 3552.75. Conclusion: PM10 concentration in Jakarta is significantly correlated with meteorological factors. The implementation of social restriction in Jakarta need to be supported by pollution control in the neighbouring areas in order to be able to reduce PM10 pollution level.

Published: February 2023

Purpose – The study aims to develop a risk mitigation approach based on the operational aspects of services and restaurants in sharia hotels.Methodology – A series of semi structured interviews was conducted with various relevant participants consisting of lecturers and Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) employees. The interviews aimed to elicit information pertaining to the identification of risks and risk handling priorities in halal certification sharia hotels.Findings – In general, risk identification and risk handling were proposed to provide recommendation to sharia hotels in mitigating risks to obtain halal certificate. The findings indicate that numerous risk factors made it difficult for hotels to obtain halal certification. Therefore, the hotel needs to know potential hazards in their operational activities of the given services so that appropriate risk mitigation can be implemented.Implications – This study's findings can be applied to improve research in the field of sharia hotels, specifically certification and implementation criteria. With the exact terms and circumstances of each criterion, it will be easier for the hotel to prepare to become a sharia hotel that adheres to Islamic sharia principles, particularly in growing halal tourism in various regions of Indonesia.Originality – This research contributes significantly to the area of halal tourism. In addition, this paper investigates risk analysis based on Indonesian regulations that are hardly ever discussed. Therefore, the findings of this study can assist hotel management, sharia tourism practitioners, and policymakers with relatively new information.

STEAM is an interdisciplinary educational approach. Based on the idea that different disciplines can meet on a common ground, the STEAM approach aims to give students the habit of working together, to provide rich learning experiences and to focus on real-world problems. This study investigates STEAM-based digital learning applications used in music education, their contents and age group suitability. For this purpose, the method of the research is the narrative review study. In this context, we analyzed the Chrome Music Lab, Scratch Music, Groove Pizza, earSketch, UPISketch and iMuSciCA applications. Studies have proved that digital-based STEAM applications used in music education increase students’ creativity, improve their music learning, and increase their interest in the lesson because they offer fun learning. With the development of technology, it has become necessary to adapt the methods and techniques used in music education to the age. By integrating art education, which has an important place in STEAM education, with other disciplines, music lessons can be effective and more permanent. The study shows that the more effective use of related applications by music teachers will contribute to music education and it is important in this regard.
Lumpy Skin Disease: A Comprehensive Review on Virus Biology, Pathogenesis, and Sudden Global Emergence
Authors: Moudgil Gaurav , Chadha Jatin , Khullar Lavanya , Chhibber Sanjay , Harjai Kusum
Published: February 2023

The lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is an animal virus and a member of the Poxviridae family, which causes lumpy skin disease (LSD) in livestock animals like cows and buffaloes. LSD is an important transboundary disease of economic importance that was first discovered in 1929 in Zambia. LSDV has been prevalent in African countries, where several outbreaks have been reported previously. However, the virus has spread rapidly across the Middle East in the past two decades, reaching Russia and, recently, the Asian subcontinent. With the unprecedented cluster outbreaks reported across Asian countries, LSDV is certainly undergoing an epidemiological shift and expanding its geographical footprint globally. The recent LSD outbreaks have gained attention from global regulatory authorities and raised serious concerns among epidemiologists and veterinary researchers. Although there is no dearth of knowledge about LSDV, the disease lacks networked global surveillance and management, consequently making the current statistics deficient, fragmented, and unreliable. Hence, recurrent LSD outbreaks seriously threaten the global livestock industry. This review provides recent insights into LSDV by augmenting latest literature associated with its epidemiology, pathogenesis, transmission, currently-available intervention strategies, and economic implications on the dairy industries. The review also critically examines the changing epidemiological footprint of LSD and speculates on the possible reasons contributing to the ongoing multi-country LSD outbreak.

Published: February 2023

There are few published studies assessing dental students' and faculty's perception regarding environmental sustainability in dentistry (ESD), its existence within the dental curricula, along with barriers and enablers for its integration. As far as the authors know, no published study looked into this in Saudi Arabia, and this is what the current study aims to explore. A cross-sectional survey using validated online questionnaires for dental students and faculty was carried out in 26 dental schools in Saudi Arabia. The validated questionnaire utilized 25 questions using Qualtrics (XM) software. Both descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were included in the data analysis. ESD content is not formally embedded within the dental curricula in all 26 included universities in Saudi Arabia. Although the majority of students and faculty members agreed or strongly agreed on the importance of ESD as a whole and the importance of teaching it, more than 82% and 81% of students and faculty, respectively, demonstrated a lack of basic knowledge concerning ESD. There is a high demand for incorporating ESD content in dental education in Saudi Arabia. To achieve this, resources and policy changes are necessary. A top-down approach is needed, including incorporating ESD into dental education standards, using evidence-based practices in revising infection control regulations and providing institutional support through training, materials, and incentives. National dental associations and governments should provide practical solutions and actively support dental professionals in implementing ESD.

Diagenetic and Biological Overprints in Geochemical Signatures of Gigantoproductus Tertiary Layer (Brachiopoda): Assessing the Paleoclimatological Interpretation
Authors: Mateos-Carralafuente J. Ricardo , Coronado Ismael , Cruz Juncal A. , Cózar Pedro , Fernández-Martínez Esperanza , Rodríguez Sergio
Published: February 2023

Variations in geochemical signatures of fossil brachiopod shells may be due to diagenesis and/or biological processes (i.e. ‘vital effects’). Characterize them is crucial to identify reliable areas into the shell suitable to paleoclimatological studies. This investigation contributes to an in-depth understanding of geochemical variations of Gigantoproductus sp. shells (SW Spain, Serpukhovian age), which could affect to the Late Paleozoic Ice Age interpretation. Microstructural, crystallographic, cathodoluminescence and geochemical (minor and trace elements, δ18O, δ13C, and strontium isotopes) characterisation have been performed on the tertiary layer of the ventral valve, to assess the preservation state. Poorly-preserved areas exhibit microstructural and geochemical changes such as recrystallisation, fracturing and higher Mn and Fe enrichment. Moreover, these areas have higher dispersion of ⁸⁶Sr, ⁸⁷Sr, δ18O and δ13C than well-preserved areas. Three structural regions have been identified in well-preserved areas of ventral valve by differences in valve curvature and thickness, such as the umbonal, thick and thin regions. These regions have different proportions of Mg, S, Na, δ18O, and δ13C, whom are interpreted as ‘vital effects’ and probably are related with growth rate differences during shell growth. Gigantoproductus tertiary layer seems the best suitable to paleoclimatological studies because it retains the original microstructure and geochemistry.

Published: February 2023

Obesity is characterized by surplus buildup of body lipids primarily in adipose tissue. Prevalence and incidence of obesity are ascending persistently at an alarming rate. Unusual eating behaviors like compulsion to eat (food addiction) and excessive consumption are the premier contributors to obesity. Both are under influence of a variety of stimuli, mainly being stress, emotions, dietary restrictions, sweetness, hyperpalatability, neural pathways, hormonal imbalance and genetics. This review summarizes the potential driving factors behind overeating and food addiction for understanding and exploring obesity linked novel agents and processes as an endeavor to advance treatment approaches. Obesity has been studied extensively throughout the world due to high incidence and association with several metabolic disorders including cardiovascular disorders. The food addition has considered one of potential key factor of obesity and excessive weight gain. Sedentary life style and availability of food also induce obesity.
Characteristics of High-Resource Health System Users in Rural and Remote Regions: A Scoping Review
Authors: LeBlanc Michele , McGaughey Tomoko , Peters Paul A
Published: February 2023

A small proportion of health care users are recognised to use a significantly higher proportion of health system resources, largely due to systemic, inequitable access and disproportionate health burdens. These high-resource health system users are routinely characterised as older, with multiple comorbidities, and reduced access to adequate health care. Geographic trends also emerge, with more rural and isolated regions demonstrating higher rates of high-resource use than others. Despite known geographical discrepancies in health care access and outcomes, health policy and research initiatives remain focused on urban population centers. To alleviate mounting health system pressure from high-resource users, their characteristics must be better understood within the context in which it arises. To examine this, a scoping review was conducted to provide an overview of characteristics of high-resource users in rural and remote communities in Canada and Australia. In total, 21 papers were included in the review. Using qualitative thematic coding, primary findings characterised rural high-resource users as those of an older age; with increased comorbid conditions and condition severity; lower socioeconomic status; and elevated risk behaviours.
Reinforcement learning for the face support pressure of tunnel boring machines
Authors: Soranzo Enrico , Guardiani Carlotta , Wu Wei
Published: February 2023

In tunnel excavation with boring machines, the tunnel face is supported to avoid collapse and minimise settlement. This article proposes the use of reinforcement learning, specifically the Deep Q-Network algorithm, to predict the face support pressure. The approach is tested both analytically and numerically. By using the soil properties ahead of the tunnel face and the overburden depth as the input, the algorithm is capable of predicting the optimal tunnel face support pressure, adapting to changes in geological and geometrical conditions.

The Role of the Yersiniachelin Siderophore in the Physiology of Yersinia pestis
Authors: Kuznetsova D. A. , Rykova V. A. , Podladchikova O. N.
Published: February 2023

Pathogenic bacteria use low-molecular-weight iron chelators – siderophores – to assimilate iron in the host body. Being recognized as virulence factors, these molecules, differing in structural and functional properties, are the subject of the most intensive research in medical microbiology. The present study is devoted to the investigation of yersiniachelin siderophore (Ych) found in the causative agent of plague, Yersinia pestis. The aim of the work was to clarify the role of Ych in the physiology of Y. pestis by comparing the properties of three strains of the plague microbe, differing in Ych production. Materials and methods. Three variants of Y. pestis EV76 strain were used in the experiments: parent strain Y. pestis EV76, its mutant that does not produce Ych due to deletion of three siderophore biosynthesis genes (analogues of ypo1530–1532 in Y. pestis CO92 strain) and a complemented mutant that was transformed by a recombinant pSC-A-5EV plasmid containing Ych biosynthesis genes cloned into the high-copy plasmid vector pSC-A-amp/kan. Comparative analysis of the three strains was carried out in terms of colony morphology, siderophore activity, growth rate, and sensitivity to hydrogen peroxide. Results and discussion. The comparison of these strains has revealed that the secretion of Ych by bacteria at 26 °С ensures the assimilation of iron. At 37 °С, Ych is not secreted into the medium and protects bacteria from the bactericidal action of reactive oxygen compounds. Thus, the study shows that yersiniachelin is able to stimulate the assimilation of iron by bacteria under iron-deficit conditions and has antioxidant properties.

In recent years, increasing awareness of the impact of climate change has attracted the attention of central banks in a number of countries. Under their authority, some central banks have started to formulate “green policies.” These green policies include a green version of quantitative easing, buying green bonds in order to support the growth of environmentally friendly financial institutions, and imposing restrictions or prohibitions on non-environmentally friendly industry lending by banks. Bank Indonesia itself is starting to explore banking policies that are more environmentally friendly, one of which is by managing financial instruments in a sustainable manner and providing green incentives. This raises unavoidable questions about the legitimacy of Bank Indonesia’s promulgation of these environmentally friendly bankingpolicies and the issues of independence, accountability and legitimacy that accompany them. This research found that green finance policies were adopted by Bank Indonesia due to its flexibility and/or independence in deploying various policy instruments, the expansion of Bank Indonesia’s mandate to maintain financial system stability, institutional relationships, and involvement in various green financial forums. However, further discussion shows that this expansion of its mandate simultaneously affects the independence of the central bank leading to issues surrounding the accountability and even legitimacy of the central bank

Central banks worldwide are coming to terms with the bits and bytes of digital money, commonly referred to as Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). CBDC has been claimed to be safer, more secure, and inherently less volatile, unlike cryptocurrencies, as it is issued and regulated by central banks. The development of digital currency not only emerged in, and isolated developed countries’ monetary policy but also came from the emerging markets. However, the policy and academic discussion on CBDC is clouded as only a significant minority of states have instituted it. From a regulatory point of view, the basic concept of CBDC is still significantly understudied. Among the emerging scholarship, there remains a paucity of study on the (legal) aspects of cybersecurity risk and resilience of the proposed CBDC. This paper explores the role of Bank Indonesia (BI), as the central bank, in implementing CBDC and conducts a preliminary expose associated with cybersecurity risks. This paper shows that CBDC understood as not only usage of Digital Ledger Technologies, (DLTs), but in all models of electronic payment. There are diverging models for the implementation of CBDC, some models involve multiple actors and electronic systems. However, as a currency the Central Bank would ultimately bear the liability for each transaction. Therefore, it is important for BI, as the central bank, consider cybersecurity risks associated with the implementation of CBDC. Cybersecurity risks in the financial sectors including CBDC, is the potential disruption caused by cyber-attacks, IT failures, personnel, and physical or infrastructure security risks.
ENHANCING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF INDONESIA’S FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR IN THE DIGITAL ERA THROUGH OPEN BANKING: LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE UK’S EXPERIENCE

In 2021, Bank Indonesia launched the National Open API Payment Standard (SNAP) to facilitate interoperable data-access for Indonesia’s digital payments sector. This article examines the lessons learned from the UK’s experience in open payments to improve the regulatory and institutional framework of Indonesia’s open banking regime. This article employs a comparative legal analysis of the UK’s open banking regime and concludes that Indonesia’s open banking regime could be improved by expanding the delivery of the Open API standards enabling interoperable data access for the entire financial services sector through an outcomes-based approach. Such expansion could be facilitated by encouraging collaboration between banks and fintechs and by creating an Open Banking App Store to increase user adoption, enhance product visibility, and widen access to digital financial services for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)

AbstractThe distribution of mixed rice on the market makes it difficult for consumers to determine the rice quality. In determining rice quality, the consumers consider and compare the texture, size, shape, color, aroma, purity, and homogeneity manually. This process is prone to errors and mistakes, due to the limited ability of each human's vision. Therefore, a method to determine the quality of rice automatically based on the physical characteristics of rice is needed. In this paper, we proposed an automatic rice quality classification method using backpropagation based on the shape and color of the rice. There are four parameters used to determine the classification process, namely compactness, circularity, mean, and skewness. Compactness and circularity were used to determine the ratio between the whole rice and the broken rice. While mean and skewness were used to determine the color distribution of the rice. Experiments have been performed on 100 images consisting of 50 premium and 50 medium rice images. The experimental results show that the proposed method can classify rice based on its shape and color effectively with an accuracy rate of 95%.Keywords: rice quality, classification, backpropagation, shape feature, color feature Abstrak[Klasifikasi Kualitas Beras Menggunakan Backpropagation Berdasarkan Bentuk dan Warna] Distribusi beras oplosan di pasaran menyulitkan konsumen dalam menentukan kualitas beras. Konsumen mempertimbangkan dan membandingkan tekstur, ukuran dan bentuk, warna, aroma, kemurnian, dan keseragaman secara manual untuk menentukan kualitas beras. Proses ini rawan terjadi kesalahan dan kekeliruan, karena keterbatasan kemampuan penglihatan setiap manusia. Oleh karena itu diperlukan suatu metode untuk menentukan kualitas beras secara otomatis berdasarkan karakteristik fisik beras. Dalam penelitian ini, kami mengusulkan metode klasifikasi kualitas beras otomatis menggunakan backpropagation berdasarkan bentuk dan warna beras. Ada empat parameter yang digunakan untuk menentukan proses klasifikasi yaitu compactness, circularity, mean, dan skewness. Compactness dan circularity digunakan untuk menentukan perbandingan antara nasi utuh dan nasi pecah. Sedangkan mean dan skewness digunakan untuk menentukan distribusi warna beras. Percobaan telah dilakukan pada 100 citra yang terdiri dari 50 citra beras premium dan 50 citra beras medium. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa metode yang diusulkan dapat mengklasifikasikan beras berdasarkan bentuk dan warnanya secara efektif dengan tingkat akurasi 95%.Kata kunci: kualitas beras, klasifikasi, backpropagation, fitur bentuk, fitur warna
“It’s ok not to know what I want to do”: An exploration into the aspirations of Early Childhood Studies students
Authors: Richardson Tanya , Lumsden Eunice
Published: February 2023

The importance of embedding employability skills in English Higher Education has received increased attention since the introduction of tuition fees and employers claiming that graduates lack the necessary skills for the workforce. This paper considers how these employability skills align with students’ aspirations, when there is uncertainty around their career trajectory, an area that appears unexplored in current literature.
Using an interpretative approach this small-scale study (n=25) sought views of first year students within an HE institution in the East Midlands of England. This paper reports on students’ career aspirations and motivations for studying, and working in, the field of Early Childhood, at the commencement of their studies. Through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, students reflected on their aspirations and motivations to follow this degree trajectory. This paper purports that students embark on this degree with a generic interest in working with children but are uncertain about career directions. They welcome the breadth of opportunities the degree could lead to. It is therefore argued that “it’s ok not to know what I want to do”. It is the role of academic and professional staff to embed a breath of opportunities for exposure to the range of career pathways available.
The effects of lidocaine intravenous infusion on postoperative pain and quality of recovery: What should we expect from a systematic review and Meta-analysis

Background: Perioperative intravenous infusion of lidocaine has become part of multimode analgesia in opioid-free anesthesia, which can reduce postoperative pain and improve postoperative recovery quality. However, the results of this discussion are still in dispute. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the effect of intravenous lidocaine infusion on postoperative recovery quality and analgesic in adult patients undergoing general anesthesia.
Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science database, and Google Scholar were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials, regardless of language and publication platform. A total of 13 randomized controlled trials (1131 patients) were included. The primary outcome measures were the total Quality of Recovery (QoR-40) on the first postoperative day (POD1) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at different postoperative time points. Secondary outcome measures were the incidence of postoperative nausea or vomiting, time to recovery of intestinal function, and length of hospital stay. Data extraction and bias risk assessment were conducted independently by two researchers.
Results: Systemic intravenous infusion of lidocaine on the first postoperative day(POD1) significantly improved the quality of recovery(QoR-40)(WMD, weighted mean difference 4.98；95%CI, confidence interval 1.78 to 8.19；P value =0.002；heterogeneity, I2=63%), NRS pain scores were significantly decreased at rest and movement at 0.5 h postoperative（Rest status: WMD, -0.70; 95%CI:-1.05~-0.35; P=0.0001; I2=0%）（Movement status: WMD, -0.76；95%CI:-1.18~-0.34; P=0.0004; I2=9%）. There were no significant differences in VAS and NRS pain scores at other time points.
Conclusions: Low-risk bias evidence suggests that intravenous lidocaine improves QoR-40 scores on the first day after general anesthesia and reduces postoperative pain during resuscitation. However, this conclusion needs to be further confirmed by a large number of high-quality randomized controlled trials.
