The rapid development of science and technology requires humans to have higher order thinking skills. Education in general places more emphasis on the cognitive domain, HOTS is a thinking ability that not only remembers but is also expected to be able to develop ideas. The purpose of this descriptive study was to find out about the ability of PAI students to complete and compose HOTS questions, as well as the factors that influence students' ability to solve HOTS questions on PAI material. Qualitative research methods are strengthened by simple quantitative data. The descriptive form in this study is a case study. The population in this study were 34 students of Islamic Religious Education semester IV class B FTIK UIN Raden Fatah Palembang. The data collection method uses questionnaires, HOTS questions, draft questions and interviews. While the analysis technique uses inductive techniques. The results of this study indicate that students' ability to solve HOTS questions tends to have sufficient ability and is still low in solving questions in the cognitive domains C5 and C6. Then the factors that affect students' ability to work on HOTS questions include, students are not used to working on HOTS type questions, and the lack of practice on HOTS-oriented questions. In compiling HOTS questions, as many as 50% of students were able to make good questions in accordance with the HOTS questions preparation standards.

Published: December 2023

The issue of police personnel in Korea has been continuously raised. Efforts are being made to this end in various ways, but the police are still suffering from manpower shortages and heavy work due to policy changes such as “Adjustment of Investigative Rights between the Police and the Prosecution”. In relation to efficient police activities, a notable measure is the use of crime map based on crime big data. This study examined crime maps used at home and abroad, predicted crime rates for each district in Seoul based on Bayesian model, and visualized them to implement crime maps for each district in Seoul for contributing efficient police patrol activities and crime prevention, and moreover to help Primary crime prevention of citizens.
To achieve the research purpose, this study looked at crime maps used in the United Kingdom, United States, and Korea’s and how they were used. Furthermore, this study tried to predict crimes in Seoul by district using CCTV, drinking establishment, schools and foot traffic data. Finally, based on the predicted analysis values, visualization of crime map for each district in Seoul was implemented.
Unlike overseas crime maps, crime maps currently used in Korea were somewhat closed way(only limited users can use it or the algorithm has not been made public). Based on literature review, this study attempted to implement crime map that can be disclosed to private citizens based on the Bayesian model which is rising in the field of criminal investigation. Accordingly, database was established by collecting CCTV, drinking establishment, schools and foot traffic data for each district in Seoul. The Bayesian model, which predicted crime occurrence using the collected data, showed an average accuracy of about 87% which is higher accuracy than other crime prediction program abroad. Finally, visualized as a crime map based on the analysis results.
The active use of crime map is highly valuable. It can help police's manpower shortage and heavy work, moreover private citizens too. Currently, Korea has also introduced and started operating crime map, but due to police’s confidentiality, it is difficult for private citizens to feel the efficiency of crime map. Crime map can be more valuable depending on how it is used, so if the police actively release crime map to the public, will get a great response.

Bovine anaplasmosis is caused by obligate intracellular rickettsia Anaplasma marginale transmitted by ticks Rhipicephalus microplus, hematophagous flies, and/or iatrogenically. Transplacental transmission is possible but sub-reported. In this context, the present work aimed to report a case of a calf that was born with anemia, jaundice, and neurological problems. A calf blood smear showed intraerythrocytic inclusion of A. marginale. Accordingly, the animal was treated with oxytetracycline but died three days after the start of treatment. The necropsy revealed conjunctival and subcutaneous jaundice, splenic congestion and distension, and an intensely yellow liver were noted. Histopathology showed moderate, multifocal hepatocellular degeneration, diffuse and marked cholestasis, and histiocytic necrotizing encephalitis. A. marginale infection was confirmed by PCR, and real-time PCR (qPCR). qPCR analysis showed that 3.3% of the erythrocytes in the calf's blood sample were parasitized. Thus, here we report a case of transplacental transmission A. marginale in a newborn calf.

Published: December 2023

Pinching is known to invigorate the growth of multiple shoots, promote the growth of lateral, and increase fruit formation. An experiment was conducted in the field of the Gokuleshwor Agriculture and Animal Science College, Baitadi, Nepal to examine the effect of pinching on the growth and yield of the chili (Capsicum annuum). The experiment utilized the 'NS-1701 variety and was carried out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five replications and four treatments; pinching at 20, 30, and 40 days after transplanting (DAT), and no pinching as control. Results revealed significant effects of pinching on various parameters, including plant height, leaf number, number of branches, number of fruits, and fruit yield. The maximum plant height was observed in the control group without pinching. The maximum number of branches, the highest leaf number, the number of fruits, and the yield were achieved when pinching was performed at 30 DAT compared to other treatments and control. Based on the observed result, it can be concluded that pinching the chili plants at 30 DAT was the most effective approach for achieving optimal growth and yield.
Molecular docking of lectins as a biosorbent for removal of textile dyes from wastewater media
Authors: Amara-Rekkab Afaf
Published: December 2023

Molecular docking of lectins as biosorbents for textile dye removal from wastewater media is a topic of great significance in the fields of environmental and health science. Textile dyes are highly toxic and persistent, posing a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Therefore, finding an effective and sustainable method for their removal is crucial. Lectins, which are proteins found in plants and animals, have been extensively studied for their ability to bind with specific sugar molecules. This unique property makes them potential candidates for biosorption applications. Molecular docking techniques allow scientists to study the interaction between lectins and textile dyes at the molecular level, providing valuable insights into their binding affinity and efficiency. By understanding the molecular interactions between lectins and textile dyes, researchers can design more efficient biosorbents that can selectively remove these harmful compounds from wastewater media. In addition, molecular docking studies can help optimize the conditions under which this process occurs, such as pH levels or temperature.Three textile dyes were docked on the lectins of Cupressus sempervirensto evaluate the binding affinity of these drugs.
An Evaluation of Smart Livestock Feeding Strategies
Authors: Yin Sim Sze , Danieli Yoni
Published: December 2023

The wasteful utilization of feeds is associated with a decrease in profitability. As the demand for feed increases in the future and the competition between food, feed, and fuel intensifies, it is anticipated that there will be significant environmental and social ramifications. The increasing demand for cattle products has given rise to various social, economic, and ecological concerns. This article examines various feeding techniques, encompassing the utilization of smart technology. The implementation of digital technology has facilitated the adoption of a farming technique known as "smart livestock feeding," which ensures the provision of nutritionally balanced food to animals. The result is the production of animals that exhibit improved health conditions and require reduced amounts of both sustenance and medical attention. Farmers can enhance their profits from the trade of leaner and more efficient cattle through the reduction of costs. The significance of this issue arises from the challenges faced by numerous farms worldwide, including factors such as disease outbreaks and insufficient availability of animal feed. The practice of intelligently feeding cattle incorporates advanced technologies such as predictive analytics, big data, and Internet of Things (IoT), information and communication technology (ICT), artificial intelligence, and genomics.

Published: December 2023

Antecedente: encefalitis de Rasmussen (ER) es un trastorno cerebral inflamatorio, crónico y progresivo, descrito como causa poco frecuente de crisis epilépticas farmacorresistentes en la niñez. Se presenta secundario a inflamación unilateral de la corteza cerebral y déficits neurológicos progresivos; clínicamente se manifiesta como crisis focales motoras resistentes al tratamiento que determina deterioro grave con hemiparesia, retraso cognitivo y afasia. El tratamiento de la ER va orientado a controlar la epilepsia y retrasar o evitar la progresión de esta, debido a la resistencia farmacológica a antiepilépticos y la falta de respuesta a inmunoglobulina (IGV), la hemisferectomía es la opción con los mejores resultados.

Descripción de caso: femenina de 6 años que inició crisis focales tipo clónicas en hemicuerpo derecho, evolucionó con falta de respuesta clínica al uso de fármaco anti-epilépticos (FAE) e IGV. El electroencefalograma (EEG) y Resonancia Magnética Cerebral (RMC) revelaron hallazgos compatibles con ER. Fue intervenida quirúrgicamente, realizando hemisferectomía izquierda, sin complicaciones durante el procedimiento, y con estudio histopatológico compatible con ER. La evolución clínica fue favorable con ausencia de crisis epilépticas y recuperación significativa de sus funciones cognitivas y motoras.

Conclusión: se debería considerar el tratamiento quirúrgico oportuno para ER.

Authors: Figueroa Muñoz Ana
Published: December 2023

El derecho a una buena Administración pública implica que los ciudadanos tengan el derecho de acceder a servicios públicos eficientes y transparentes. Sin embargo, uno de los principales desafíos para la materialización de este derecho es la corrupción pública ya que se  corrompe la distribución de recursos y servicios públicos y se rompe la confianza que tiene el ciudadano con el funcionario público.
Ante este desafío, la respuesta se ha centrado en castigar a los funcionarios corruptos por medio del Derecho penal sin abordar las causas subyacentes de la corrupción ni su prevención. Al  desarrollar el presente estudio, se llega a la conclusión de que se deben plantear estrategias integrales para no solo sancionar, sino que prevenir la corrupción dentro de la Administración pública.

¿Quiénes poseen la tierra del mundo? Estado mundial y reconocimiento de los derechos a la tierra de los Pueblos Indígenas, Afrodescendientes y comunidades locales de 2015 a 2020
Authors:   Rights and Resources Initiative
Published: December 2023

Desde que publicamos la primera edición de ¿Quién posee la tierra del mundo? en 2015, el reconocimiento mundial de la importancia de reconocer y garantizar legalmente los derechos comunitarios de tenencia de la tierra y los recursos de los 2.500 millones de Pueblos Indígenas, Afrodescendientes y comunidades locales del mundo ha alcanzado cotas sin precedentes. Tras décadas de defensa nacional e internacional por parte de los titulares de derechos y sus aliados, la seguridad de la tenencia de la tierra tanto para las comunidades como para las mujeres de las comunidades se reconoce ahora como un componente integral de la Agenda 2030, sin el cual no se pueden alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), el Marco Mundial de Biodiversidad de Kunming-Montréal y los objetivos del Acuerdo de París. Además, cada vez hay más pruebas de que los Pueblos Indígenas, los Pueblos Afrodescendientes y las comunidades locales son los mejores gestores de sus tierras y recursos. Esta segunda edición de ¿A quién pertenece la tierra del mundo? informa sobre los progresos realizados durante los primeros cinco años (2015-2020) de los ODS, el Acuerdo de París y el objetivo de Land Rights Now de duplicar la superficie de tierras de propiedad comunitaria, proporcionando datos actualizados sobre la extensión de las tierras legalmente reconocidas como destinadas a los Pueblos Indígenas y las comunidades locales y de su propiedad en 73 países que abarcan el 85% de las tierras mundiales. También revisa y amplía las estimaciones de la superficie de tierra que las comunidades Indígenas, afrodescendientes y locales poseen y utilizan tradicionalmente, pero cuyos derechos aún no están legalmente reconocidos por los gobiernos nacionales.

Published: December 2023

Introdução: A punção aspirativa por agulha fina (PAAF) guiada por ultrassonografia (US) é o padrão-ouro para diagnóstico de nódulos tireoidianos. As amostras obtidas por meio da PAAF guiada por US são classificadas conforme o Sistema de Bethesda, e, a partir deste, é possível determinar a conduta a ser aplicada. Tais condutas após a PAAF podem ser: acompanhamento clínico, repetir a PAAF, tireoidectomia parcial ou tireoidectomia total. Nesse sentido, é importante verificar a eficácia diagnóstica da PAAF e a conduta estabelecida em um serviço ambulatorial especializado. Objetivo: Identificar a aplicabilidade da PAAF na determinação dos diagnósticos de nódulos tireoidianos, a frequência destes e a conduta estabelecida, nos pacientes atendidos no Ambulatório de Especialidade de Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço, da Faculdade de Medicina de Jundiaí (AE-CCP FMJ). Conclusão: A maioria dos pacientes encontrava-se assintomática, e o sintoma mais comum relatado foi a compressão. A categoria II de Bethesda, resultado de benignidade, foi o diagnóstico mais comum e o seguimento clínico foi a escolha para a maioria dos casos. Dentre as indicações cirúrgicas, prevaleceu a tireoidectomia total; e tipo de carcinoma de tireoide mais frequentemente encontrado foi o papilífero.

Global meat production, with an emphasis on the pork and poultry industries, plays a fundamental role in the global economy, with Brazil standing out in this scenario. However, due to the country's microclimatic diversity, collecting accurate climate data at a local level is challenging, as official weather stations are often distant from breeders. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop and validate a low-cost logic controller based on Arduino and economical sensors for environmental monitoring in animal production facilities. The device is capable of measuring temperature, relative humidity, and luminosity with high precision. The experiment was conducted in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, and validated from October to December 2022. The results reveal that the temperature and humidity sensor perform excellently, highlighting its high sensitivity and precision in measurements. However, the luminosity sensor, although it presents a satisfactory agreement, suggests room for improvement, especially in relation to the spectral response, which widens its difference as the light intensity increases. The equipment is capable of identifying conditions of thermal discomfort in animals, playing a fundamental role in promoting sustainable production and mitigating stress. Furthermore, continuous data collection at short intervals offers significant benefits compared to manual methods, generating reliable information for the management of breeding facilities. The economic accessibility and practicality of the equipment make it a viable solution, especially for small producers. The device provides an effective way to collect data in real-time, contributing to the optimization of animal production. This study offers an accurate and affordable solution for improving animal welfare and increasing productivity, contributing to the sustainability of the meat industry.

Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho aborda a avaliação da eficiência do uso de um bioaditivo comercial no tratamento de esgotos domésticos oriundos de um condomínio residencial da cidade de Viamão. Foi desenvolvido um sistema de tratamento de efluentes, em escala piloto, com reservatórios de esgoto bruto e duas unidades de protótipo que simulam a escala real de um reator anaeróbio tipo UASB. Os protótipos operaram em fluxo contínuo de alimentação pelo período de oito semanas, em regimes hidráulicos e operacionais idênticos, entretanto um dos protótipos, nomeado de Reator Teste, recebeu a adição do bioaditivo selecionado para este experimento, enquanto o outro reator, chamado de Reator Branco trabalhou apenas com o esgoto bruto. Além do acompanhamento operacional e observação das funcionalidades do protótipo de reator anaeróbio, realizou-se o monitoramento analítico do efluente tratado e bruto, a partir de ensaios laboratoriais tais como DBO5, DQO, Nitrogênio Total e Fósforo Total. Os resultados demonstraram números expressivos de eficiência para a remoção de nutrientes quando utilizado o bioaditivo evidenciando a que a técnica de bioaumentação pode se tornar uma solução viável nos sistemas de tratamentos em escala real.

Authors: Costa Vanderlei Balbino da , De Brito Fernanda Cristina
Published: December 2023

A educação especial em uma perspectiva inclusiva vem passando por diversas transformações, em especial, nas últimas duas décadas do século XXI.   A presente reflexão se originou das nossas inquietações ao longo de disciplinas ministradas no Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Jataí (UFJ)-GO.  A questão de pesquisa que suleou essa investigação foi: Por que ou por quais razões pedagógicas os docentes do ensino superior não ministram suas aulas de forma colaborativa e cooperativa? Os objetivos propostos neste processo reflexivo se consubstanciaram em: investigar as razões pedagógicas, pelas quais os docentes do ensino superior não ministram suas aulas de forma colaborativa; identificar se as dificuldades encontradas pelos docentes para atuar de forma cooperativa estão na falta de formação inicial e continuada; analisar as narrativas dos docentes, procurando apontar os motivos pelos quais os mesmos não ministram suas aulas de forma colaborativa e cooperativa. A opção foi pela pesquisa qualitativa, priorizando como método as narrativas, presentes nos referenciais bibliográficos, artigos científicos produzidos sobre o ensino colaborativo, ação cooperativa e as parcerias entre docentes do ensino comum e do ensino especial. Referenciais utilizados, tendo como base a Literatura Americana, mostraram que no Brasil, essa prática não se constitui em uma ação recorrente. Resultados mostraram que na Universidade, o ensino colaborativo, a ação cooperativa e as parcerias encontram dificuldades para se efetivar. Considerações, claro, não conclusivas nos fizeram refletir sobre a necessidade de investir na formação inicial e permanente dos novos docentes que estão adentrando no ensino superior.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents a constellation of interlinked metabolic abnormalities, encompassing hypertension (HTN), insulin resistance diabetes, obesity, and atherogenic dyslipidemia. It is observed that people suffering from these symptoms of metabolic syndrome are twice as likely to develop cardiovascular diseases (CVDS) and five times more likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) during their lifetime. The alarming increase in the incidence of MetS, in population worldwide, has made it an epidemic. In today’s world people are more susceptible to MetS due to their sedentary lifestyle, bad eating habits, and various forms of stress. Knowing the socioeconomic burden of disease of MetS on global health throughout the years has brought attention towards its management and therapeutic approach and rightly so, this has also created the need for new, innovative, and non-traditional methods of managing MetS, as the current available treatments of MetS have limited efficacy. In this review, we highlight the prevalence, definition and also summarize the latest non-traditional therapies of MetS worldwide.

Otosclerosis patients with remarkable hearing loss are instructed to undergo stapedectomy. Stapedectomy is surgical removal of otosclerosis-damaged stapes, to improve hearing. Objective: To compare the hearing loss in otosclerosis patients as the result of stapedectomy. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study was conducted to compare hearing loss in patients before and after stapedectomy. Total 25 otosclerosis patients of age 25-45 years, were recruited for study through random sampling technique. Setting was Shaikh Zayed Hospital with duration of 6 months from January 2023 to May 2023. Patients undergoing stapedectomy with co-morbid conditions (vertigo, inflammation at side of operation) were excluded. For data collection of study subjects, well-structured self-constructed data collection form was used. Hearing loss was accessed clinically through pure-tone audiometry (PTA). Data were analyzed statistically through SPSS version 24.0 package. Results: Out of 25 patients, 14 (56.0%) were female, while 11 (44.0%) were male. Majority of them (60.0%) were in age group 25-30 years. Out of 25, patients with hearing loss in pre-operative patients with moderate degree 10 (40.0%), mixed degree were 25(100%) and patients in post-operative with moderate degree 14 (56%) and mixed hearing loss were 24 (96.0%) in number. Conclusions: This study presents the findings that in pre-operative stapedectomy patients there was moderate to severe degree mixed hearing loss at all frequencies. Whereas, in post-operative stapedectomy patients there was mild degree mixed hearing loss at all frequencies. Stapedectomy proved to be effective in substantially reducing hearing loss in otosclerosis patients.

The Glasgow-Blatchford Score and the Harbinger Score are two popular scoring systems; however, it is uncertain how accurate their comparative diagnostic abilities are. Objective: To evaluate and compare the diagnostic precision of the Harbinger Score and the Glasgow-Blachford Score in determining the need for early endoscopic intervention among patients experiencing upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). Methods: 278 UGIB patients who came to the Department of Gastroenterology, Liaqat National Hospital, Karachi, between July 2022 and June 2023 were enrolled. Demographic, clinical information and scores for Harbinger and Glasgow-Blatchford rating systems were derived for each patient. Outcome measure was the requirement for early endoscopic intervention. Diagnostic accuracy was determined and contrasted for both scoring systems. Results: 192 (69.06%) were male, 86 (30.93%) female. Age ranged from 16 to 80 years, with a mean of 65.5±16.4. 117 patients (42.08%) presented with dyspepsia and heartburn and syncope in 6 (2.15%). Mortality AUC was 0.761 for GBS and 0.532 for Harbinger score, p-value <0.002. Both Harbinger and GBS scored >14 and 1. GBS specificity was 88% and Harbinger 54%, while susceptibility was 80% (90% CI: 35.9-95.8) for both scores. The intensive care AUC was 0.769 for GBS and 0.531 for Harbinger score, with a p-value <0.002. Conclusions: According to this study, Harbinger score had better sensitivity than GBS for predicting upper GI bleeding.

Mini PCNL (mPCNL) procedures now often employ miniature nephroscopes that were originally created to treat paediatric kidney stones. There is scarcity of knowledge regarding complications of mPCNL in renal stones larger than 3 cm. Objective: To determine the common complications of mini PCNL performed for renal stones larger than 3.0cm. Methods: This descriptive case series study was conducted over a period of one year from November 2022 to October 2023 registered patients aging 4 to 14 years undergoing mPCNL with renal stones >3cm. The patients underwent mini PCNL and patients were followed over a period of 4 weeks for early (occurring within 48 hours of procedure) and late complications (occurring after 48 hours). Results: A total of 86 cases were analyzed. The age of the participants ranged from 4 years to 14 years. The mean age of the patients was 9.19±2.49 years. Majority of the participants were in the age group 10-14 years 57 (66.3%). Male to female ratio was 1.2: 1. Among the early complications, the most commonly reported was post-pain reported by 24 (28.0%) patients, followed by hematuria in 15(17.4%). Surgical site infection was the most common late complications observed in 9 patients (10.4%) followed by re-do surgery for 2 patients (2.3%) and none of the patient suffered renal dysfunction among our participants. Conclusions: MPCNL can be offered as a safe and secure surgical option with excellent results and manageable side effects for treating nephrolithiasis larger than 3cm in children.

Objective: To assess the risk factors of transient ischemic attack in young adults. Methods: This prospective study was conducted at the People's University of Medical and Health Sciences Hospital, Nawabshah. Patients with stroke admitted to Medical Units I, II, and III from November 2021 to June 2023 were eligible for inclusion. This study eliminated those who were under the age of 18, those who had experienced brain injury, and those who were above the age of 45. The current study included 209 patients, including both male and female participants aged between 18 and 45 years, who exhibited various forms of stroke. For this study, only 14 (6.7%) patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) were selected. Data on diagnostic tests, medical records, laboratory investigations, and radiological images were obtained for data collection. Results: The most prevalent risk factor was diabetes mellitus in nine (64.3%) patients. Seven (50.0%) patients had hypertension. Cardiac disease was seen in six (42.9%) of patients. Smoking and previous stroke history were observed in one (7.1%) patient each. Conclusions: The results of this research suggested that diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and heart problems are the predominant risk factors associated with transient ischemic stroke in young individuals.

XVIII. yüzyılda, Osmanlı Devleti’nin merkezde ve taşrada görev yapmış bürokrasi elitlerinin servetleri arasında benzerlik ve farklılıklar nelerdir? Ya da, Osmanlı Devleti’nde bürokraside görev alan kişilerin merkezde ya da taşrada görev yapmalarının servetleri üzerinde bir etkisi olmuş mudur? Bu çalışma bu temel soruları cevaplandırmak için kaleme alınmıştır. Bu sorular, BOA. D. BŞM. MHF. (Başkanlık Osmanlı Arşivi, Bab-ı Defteri, Başmuhasebe, Muhallefat Halifeliği) ve D. BŞM. MHF. d. (defteri) kayıtlarında yer alan ve mallarına el koyulan otuzu merkezde (İstanbul) otuzu ise taşrada (Balkanlar, Anadolu ve Ortadoğu) görev yapmış bürokratların miras kayıtları incelenerek ve karşılaştırılarak gerçekleştirilecektir. İki grup halinde oluşturulan bu tereke kayıtlarından bürokratların bürokrasideki görevleri, servet değerleri, servetlerini oluşturan mal grupları ile her bir grup içindeki servetin dağılımı hesaplanarak Gini katsayısı ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar: taşrada görev yapan bürokratların daha zengin olduğu, gelir dağılımının merkez bürokratlarında daha eşite yakın, taşra bürokratları arasında daha eşitlikten uzak olduğu ancak tüketilen mal gruplarının birbirine benzer olduğudur
