The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruption to the global economy and society, including fisheries and aquaculture. This study aims to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the fisheries sector in Indonesia, focusing on the case of Pondokdadap Fishing Port, one of the main landing sites for tuna and other pelagic fish in East Java Province. This study compared data from 2019 (before the pandemic) and 2020 (during the pandemic) to assess changes and trends in the volume and value of fish production, the number of fishing trips, fish prices, and fishers' income at Pondokdadap Fishing Port. This study found that COVID-19 has significantly reduced the volume and value of fish production, the number of fishing trips, fish prices, and fishers' income at Pondokdadap Fishing Port. There are several possible causes and consequences, such as decreased demand, supply chain disruption, health risks or food insecurity. This research also identifies several policy responses and recommendations to mitigate the negative impacts and enhance the recovery of the fisheries sector, such as providing income support, facilitating market access, improving health measures, or strengthening policies on the capture fisheries sector. This research contributes to filling a gap in the literature on the impact of COVID-19 on fisheries in developing countries, particularly Indonesia.

Published: November 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

Objectives: To explore the relationships among cortical thickness (CT) abnormalities, cognitive function, and clinical characteristics in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) subtypes.
Methods: Fifty-seven individuals with BD I or BD II and 30 healthy controls (HCs) underwent 3.0T MRI scanning, and general linear model analysis using FreeSurfer was used to compare differences in CT between patients with BD I, BD II and HCs. Then we extracted the CT in morphological deficit regions and analyzed for relationships with cognitive and clinical characteristics.
Results: Patients with BD I showed lower thickness in medial orbitofrontal region and greater thickness in parahippocampal region compared to BD II patients. Compared with HCs, the parahippocampal cortex was thinner in BD I, while the bankssts cortex was thicker and the parahippocampal gyrus was thinner in BD II. Immediate memory in BD I subjects was positively correlated with the CT of the parahippocampal cortex, CT in the bankssts and medial orbitofrontal regions was positively related to anxiety and depression, and psychotic symptoms in BD II were negatively associated with the medial orbitofrontal sulcus gyrus cortex.
Conclusion: Our findings indicate that patients with BD I or BD II have significant CT deficits mainly located in the regions related to immediate memory and clinical characteristics.

Authors: Fang Jinbo , Qiu Changjian , He Ping , Sun Zeyuan , Zhou Jing , Huang Xia , conti Aldo , Tang Wanjie
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

More than half the domestic population were infected in two months after China stopped maintaining "zero-infection policy", which severely overwhelmed frontline healthcare providers with stress and fear. However, there is no study to date investigating the associations between nurses' fear of pandemic and heightened health-related anxiety.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to 1) investigate the correlations between fear pandemic and cyberchondria among frontline nurses, and 2) discover its potential mechanism.

METHODS

A cross-sectional sample of frontline nurses (N=8161) was recruited from 98 hospitals across China. Participants were invited to complete an online, self-rated standardized questionnaire focused on pandemic fear, alexithymia, psychological distress, and cyberchondria. Environmental, clinical and socioeconomic information were collected for adjustment while conducting chain mediation analysis.

RESULTS

When other covariates were controlled, it was found that fear of the pandemic significantly contributed to cyberchondria (b=0.58, 95%CI [0.56, 0.60], P<.001). The chain mediation model suggested that both alexithymia and psychological distress were mediating factors between pandemic fear and cyberchondria.

CONCLUSIONS

The higher the perceived fear, the greater the cyberchondria, which suggested that reducing fear about the pandemic and providing adequate support could reduce the incidence of cyberchondria. As alexithymia and psychological distress may be transdiagnostic mechanisms between fear and cyberchondria, targeted interventions focused on expression dysregulation and emotional identification could be useful.

Objectives: (1) The aims and objectives of the study are to assess functional outcomes in knee osteoarthritis (OA) cases treated by high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and (2) to study the complications in patients undergoing HTO.
Methods: This was a prospective study conducted in the Department of Orthopedics of a tertiary care medical college. 50 patients with moderate-to-severe OA of medial compartment of knee were included in this study. All patients underwent HTO. Post-operatively, patients were followed up for 6 months. During follow-up visits, reduction in pain intensity and functional outcome were assessed by visual analog scale (VAS) score and Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) Score. Patients were also assessed for complications if any. For statistical purposes, p<0.05 was taken as statistically significant.
Results: Out of 50 studied cases, there was a female preponderance with an M: F ratio of 1:1.38. The mean age of affected cases was found to be 62.32±8.94 years. 11 (22.00%) patients were obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥30) and 32 (64.00%) patients were overweight (BMI ≥25 but <30). 7 (14.00%) patients had BMI <25. 38 (76%) patients had severe OA whereas in remaining 12 (24%) patients, there was moderate OA. There was a significant reduction in pain, as assessed by VAS score, at the time of final follow-up as compared to VAS score at the time of presentation (p<0.0001). Similarly, there was a significant functional improvement, as assessed by JOA score, at the time of final follow-up as compared to JOA score at the time of presentation (p<0.0001). 7 (14%) patients developed minor complications. All these complications were managed conservatively.
Conclusion: Patients with moderate to severe OA of medial compartment of knee treated by HTO show excellent outcomes in terms of pain relief and functional outcomes.

Published: November 2023

Abstract: Advancements in facial recognition are on the rise after the recent breakthroughs in deep learning technologies and the extensive training datasets. But still, the practical application of facial recognition for authentication purposes faces some difficulties and problems when dealing with variations that are observed in real-world scenarios, including variations in facial poses, varying angles, lightning conditions and potential obstructions. In order to resolve these challenges, this paper presents an innovative deep learning API, which combines the capabilities of MTCNN and FaceNet, to overcome these limitations. Building upon the foundations of MTCNN and FaceNet, we have developed an API capable of verifying the identity of users through a two-step verification process. The system utilizes MTCNN for precise face detection and FaceNet for facial feature extraction that has the ability to directly map facial images into a compact Euclidean space in which spatial distances directly reflect facial similarity, and then storing this data securely within a MongoDB database. We have used the cutting-edge Deep Face model, developed by Facebook’s AI research team. Its reliable deep learning capabilities have helped us in achieving exceptional accuracy in the user’s verification process. This system serves to provides a superior level of user authentication, effectively reducing the risk of an unauthorized access while optimizing the user experience. Even though there is still some room for improvement within our experiment, we are committed to providing a comprehensive summary of our findings and an exploration of the challenges on the horizon.

Published: November 2023

Abstract: Orofacial pain disorders encompass a wide spectrum of conditions that can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. While non-surgical approaches are often the first line of treatment, there are instances where surgical interventions become necessary for effective pain management. Chronic orofacial pain presents a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge across various conditions. It is widely acknowledged that surgical interventions should be considered as a last resort, after exhausting less invasive treatment options, for addressing these chronic pain issues. This comprehensive review article aims to provide an in-depth analysis of various surgical techniques employed in the management of orofacial pain disorders.
Farmer’s Assistant App-Agrozenith
Authors: Auti Dr. Nisha
Published: November 2023

Abstract: Agriculture is the primary livelihood for nearly two-thirds of India's workforce, making it the country's most vital economic sector. This integrated system involves techniques to control the growth and harvesting of animals and vegetables, serving as a straightforward endeavor with technical and practical processes. Its significance lies not only in maintaining ecological balance and protecting human resources but also as a crucial food production system. Contributing significantly to India's GDP, agriculture accounts for nearly 20% and directly influences the livelihoods of 60% of the population, ranging from small-scale producers to larger agricultural enterprises. Despite its importance, small-scale farmers, constituting the majority, often encounter obstacles in accessing essential information that could improve their yields and market outcomes. Market dynamics, alongside labor, play a pivotal role in determining a farmer's success. Traditionally, obtaining reliable and up-to-date market information has proven challenging, particularly for small-scale producers lacking direct access to trading hubs.
Experimental Study on the Mutual Influence of Fly Ash, Silica Fume & Fibers on Strength Enhancement of Portland Cement
Authors: Siddiqui Abdur Rafe
Published: November 2023

Abstract: Mineral additives have a wide range of applications today because of their benefits such as waste evaluation for ecological balance and improving the physical and mechanical qualities of cement or concrete. Fly ash and silica fume are two of the wastes. These raw materials were subjected to physical, chemical, mineralogical, and molecular analysis for this purpose. Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) with excellent tensile strain capacity and repeated cracking often contain fly ash (FA) as a key component. Silica fume can either be "added" (added individually at the concrete mixer) or mixed with a composite cement that is manufactured in a factory. This essay examines the advantages and usefulness of using fly ash and silica fume. Silica fume can typically be used with chemical admixtures, and it is typically used with a super-plasticizer, just like with conventional concretes. Tests should be conducted to determine the right dose levels as the performance of admixtures may depend on the unique characteristics of the source of the cementation's material (as with OPC cement). Supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) are utilized in concrete to partially replace the Portland cement component and exhibit pozzolanic and/or cementitious qualities. High-performance concrete contains an essential component called supplemental cementing material. In particular, when great strength and durability turn out to be the most desired attributes of high-performance concrete, the insertion of supplemental cementing material is crucial. Several well-known supplemental cementing materials, including fly ash, silica fume, and powdered granulated blast-furnace slag, are presented in this work. The impact of using steel fibers, fly ash, silica fume, and various combinations of them are evaluated in this paper. This study aims to ascertain how fly ash, silica fume, and fibers interact with Portland cement to increase concrete strength, reduce internal cracks, and increase tensile strength.

Authors: Xu Jing , Wood Graham , Lomax Peter , Mastropaolo Enrico , Newton Michael , Cheung Rebecca
Published: November 2023

A fully-clamped graphene/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) open cavity
resonator with fundamental frequency within the lower ultrasonic
frequency range (less than 100 kHz) has been fabricated and the dynamic
behavior of the graphene/PMMA resonator has been observed and
characterized in atmospheric pressure and at room temperature. The
challenge in achieving the fundamental frequency less than 100 kHz in
resonators made by graphene-based material is the handling of the large
size of the thin membrane and the need to modify the fabrication method
to prevent collapse of the membrane. In this work, graphene/PMMA
membrane consisting of 6-layer graphene and 450 nm poly(methyl
methacrylate) (PMMA) has been wet transferred over a square cavity with
the side length of 0.5 mm. The resonant frequency has been measured to
be around 75 kHz by mechanical actuation and 79 kHz by electro-thermal
actuation. The (0,1) mode has been detected to dominate the resonance.
The simulated dynamic behavior of the graphene/PMMA membrane over the
open cavity has been found to be in agreement with experimental
measurements. The strain in the graphene/PMMA membrane has been
estimated to be around 0.2 %.
Construction of computer visual dataset for autonomous driving in sand-dust weather
Authors: hua zhongwei
Published: November 2023

With the wide application of vision-based autonomous driving and mobile
robots, the impact of frequent sand-dust weather on computer vision
applications in landlocked countries during spring and autumn has also
attracted more and more attention. Although there has been a lot of
research on sand-dust image enhancement, no research has been conducted
on how to improve the positioning accuracy of vision-based autonomous
driving or mobile robots in sand-dust environments, especially because
there is currently a lack of data sets to evaluate visual positioning in
sand-dust weather. Therefore, we propose a complete set of visual
positioning data set construction methods in sand-dust weather to fill
the gap in the evaluation data set of application fields such as
autonomous driving or mobile robot attitude estimation in sand-dust
weather. At the same time, this method is also suitable for the
construction of visual positioning data sets under haze and other
similar weather. In addition, this paper further demonstrates to readers
how to use the converted dust visual positioning data set to conduct
positioning evaluation experiment of automatic driving in sand-dust
weather.
Elusive mustelids – 18 months in the search of stoat (Mustela erminea) and weasel (M. nivalis)

Published: November 2023

Stoat (Mustela erminea) and weasel (M. nivalis) are hard to monitor as
they are elusive of nature and leave few identifying marks in their
surroundings. Stoat and weasel are both fully protected in Denmark and
thought to be widely distributed throughout the country. Despite this
stoat and weasel were listed on the Danish Red List as Near Threatened
in 2019, as their densities and population trends are unknown. Using a
modified novel camera trapping device, the Double-Mostela, specifically
devel-oped to monitor and individually identify stoat and weasel, we
attempted to make density estimates based on identification of
individual stoats and weasels. We deployed camera traps both inside
Double-Mostela traps and externally in three different study areas in
Northern Zealand, Denmark, and tested commercial, American scent-based
lures to attract stoat and weasel. We obtained trapping rates of 0.03
and 0.06 weasel per 100 camera trap days and 0.45 and 1.26 stoats per
100 camera trap days in two of the study areas, respectively. This is
low compared to other countries and in one study area both species were
absent. We found no effect of scent-based lures in attracting small
mustelids com-pared to non-bait traps. Potential reasons behind low
capture rates of weasel and stoat are land use changes over the last 200
years, predation from larger predators, birds of prey and free-roaming,
domestic cats as well as unintended secondary poisoning with
rodenticides. Due to the scarcity of weasel and stoat captures, we were
unable to make density estimates based on identification of individuals,
however, we identified potential features that could be used for
identification and density estimates with more captures.

Published: November 2023

This study investigates how students in the Faculty of Business and Management at UiTM perceive the service quality dimensions of their lecturers during Open and Distance Learning (ODL). The study is unique because it is the first time UiTM implemented Open and Distance Learning (ODL) instead of the usual face-to-face learning, due to the Malaysian government’s instruction of Movement Control Order (MCO). The servqual model is used to calculate service quality dimensions such as reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy, knowledge, and communication. Utilizing quantitative methodology, a survey questionnaire is used to collect data. The implication of this study for policymakers regarding the enhancement of ODL is to maximize student satisfaction by prioritizing essential dimensions. This study's findings can be utilized by ODL universities to enhance pedagogical dimension, management of atypical situations, academic service delivery, and quality, as well as to guide the implementation of effective ODL strategies.

Authors: Abdullah Firdaus , Asnawi Nini Hartini , Abg Mohara Abg Hamizam
Published: November 2023

Effective operations management is central to achieving superior operational performance, whether in the manufacturing or service sector. While many studies have examined the importance of operations in manufacturing, less attention has been given to service operations management, particularly from the perspective of service operations managers. This study aims to bridge this gap by developing a comprehensive instrument for service operations management. By combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, we identified six key elements that underpin service operations management: Equipment Management, Human Initiatives, Service Delivery Control (SDC), Certifications, Technology Usage, and Service Delivery Design (SDD). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed the one-dimensionality of these factors, demonstrating their close interconnection. The instrument exhibited strong reliability and validity, enabling it to provide a structured framework for the empirical understanding of operations management in the service sector.
Using McClelland’s Theory of Need to Determine the Relationship between the Motivational Factor and Social Entrepreneurship Activity among People with Disabilities
Authors: Ramdan Nurul Fatihah , Mat Ali Syukrina Alini , Abdul Kadir Mohd Ali Bahari
Published: November 2023

Social entrepreneurship (SE) refers to an activity where a social element is used to create business opportunities. It describes the efforts of certain non-profit organizations or government agencies to improve the social and economic conditions of impoverished communities. This paper proposes a conceptual model to examine the relationship between motivational factors and the engagement of people with disabilities (PWD) in SE activities. Using McClelland's need theory for measuring motivation, examines achievement, affiliation, and power needs. When these needs go unfulfilled, motivation declines, leading to decreased performance and turnover within the organization. This theory holds significant influence in entrepreneurship and has been widely adopted in various research studies. Conducting a quantitative survey among actively engaged PWDs in SE activities under the Social Welfare Department institution will help identify the motivational factors driving PWDs to prioritize social entrepreneurship over other employment options. Recognizing this connection enables government agencies and stakeholders to potentially reshape and create better-suited programs for PWD and guide them toward a renewed path of empowerment.

Published: November 2023

Social media has become the most popular marketing tool in the tourism industry. It has been determined that the advent of social media has allowed tourists from all around the world to directly get in touch and communicate with tourism organizations despite their location. However, there is limited research on the adoption of social media as a marketing tool in the Homestay program. Therefore, Kampungstay and Homestay Association Malaysia (MKHA) in collaboration with Tourism Malaysia has developed a platform known as www.jomhomestay.my to promote the program. Despite this effort, the findings stated that the homestay program has limited resources for social media and a limited ability to recognize it. Thus, this paper is to examine the relationships between social media adoption and homestay performance. The originality of the study will act as a roadmap for future research, assisting in the creation of the most productive homestay business plan and providing empirical data for this research.

The School Literacy Movement (GLS) has been implemented since March 2016. However, its implementation is still not effective in West Java. This study aims to increase reading interest in MI Mulyadarma, Girimukti Village, Cipongkor District, West Bandung Regency. This school has limited internet access, book diversity, and school facilities, that are below the standards of an ideal school. Student’s interest in reading is increased in two ways. The first way is by encouraging 4th-6th grade elementary school students to read for 15 minutes before the class starts, for 3 weeks. The second way is by providing mini libraries in each classroom. Data collection was done using questionnaires. The questionnaire was given before and after the program, so that the achievement of the program could be evaluated. The result shows that the reading habit for 15 minutes before class and providing mini libraries in the classroom successfully increased students’ interest in reading significantly. Students who read books for more than 60 minutes per day increased by 33%. Student interest in reading increased by 64%, while their reading awareness increased slightly by 12.5%.

This makes Indonesia the fourth largest coffee producing country in the world with a production value of up to 12 million 60-kilo sacks by the end of 2020. Malang Regency, East Java, is one of the largest coffee bean producing regions in Indonesia. Squirrel coffee is a variant of coffee that comes from the rest of the coffee cherries consumed by squirrels. This process provides a distinctive taste and aroma for coffee lovers. The uniqueness of Bajing coffee has not been exploited by coffee farmers and Pamanjur. Even consumers are more likely to choose Arabica coffee than squirrel coffee, because they feel that the taste does not have a significant difference. As a result, the price of squirrel coffee is still unable to reach its full potential. The UMM Service Team assisted Girimoyo and Pamanjur Villages to Compile Product Value and packaging to increase the selling value of Bajing Coffee. Several steps were taken by the team to develop a program to strengthen the value of coffee squirrels in Girimoyo Village, including: holding a meeting with the owner of Pamanjur to obtain initial data, then the team tried to understand the flavor profile of coffee squirrels by conducting a taste test, then developing a program to strengthen the value of coffee squirrels through design. packaging, by changing the name of Bajing coffee to Belka coffee. The term "Belka" comes from the Russian language which is the name for the animal "Squirrel". After the concept matured, the team worked on a prototype of the Bajing coffee packaging. The final stage is the finalization and printing process carried out by Pamanjur. In conclusion, by taking advantage of the unique characteristics of Kopi Bajing and implementing an effective packaging design, Girimoyo Village can maximize the market potential of its specialty coffee.
