Human Speakers Help Machine Listeners To account For Visual Asymmetries in Dialogue
Authors: Peña Paola Raquel
Published: May 2023

Human-machine dialogue (HMD) research debates the degree to which language production in this context is egocentric or allocentric. That is, the degree to which a person might take a machine’s perspective into account. Our study aims to identify whether users produce allocentric or egocentric language within speech-based HMD when there is asymmetry in the information available to both partners. Through an adapted referential communication task, we manipulated the presence or absence of visual distractors and occlusions, similarly to previous referential tasks used in psycholinguistic research. Results show that people are sensitive to the presence of distractors and occlusions and tend to produce more informative expressions to help machine partners account for the visual asymmetries. We discuss the fndings on how allocentric production in HMD is explained by how the division of labour manifests in spoken HMD. The fndings further our understanding of the language production mechanisms in HMD.
Validating the IDRIS and IDRIA: Two infrequency/frequency scales for detecting careless and insufficient effort survey responders
Authors: Kay Cameron Stuart
Published: May 2023

To detect careless and insufficient effort (C/IE) survey responders, researchers can use infrequency items—items that almost no one agrees with (e.g., “When a friend greets me, I generally try to say nothing back”)—and frequency items—items that almost everyone agrees with (e.g., “I try to listen when someone I care about is telling me something”). Here, we provide initial validation for two sets of these items: the 14-item Invalid Responding Inventory for Statements (IDRIS) and the 6-item Invalid Responding Inventory for Adjectives (IDRIA). Across six studies (N1 = 536; N2 = 701; N3 = 500; N4 = 499; N5 = 629, N6 = 562), we found consistent evidence that the IDRIS is capable of detecting C/IE responding among statement-based scales (e.g., the HEXACO-PI-R) and the IDRIA is capable of detecting C/IE responding among both adjective-based scales (e.g., the Lex-20) and adjective-derived scales (e.g., the BFI-2). These findings were robust across different analytic approaches (e.g., Pearson correlations; Spearman rank-order correlations), different indices of C/IE responding (e.g., person-total correlations; semantic synonyms; cursor tracking), and different sample types (e.g., US undergraduate students; Nigerian survey panel participants). Taken together, these results provide promising evidence for the utility of the IDRIS and IDRIA in detecting C/IE responding.
Kebijakan Kriminalisasi Pada Tindak Pidana Perzinahan Dalam Rancangan Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana Berdasarkan Pembaharuan Hukum Pidana
Authors: Samsudin Muhamad , Pura Margo Hadi
Published: May 2023

Products of criminalization in Indonesia can be seen in article 284 of the Criminal Code, the adultery provisions in the Criminal Code that are currently in effect aim to criminalize perpetrators of extramarital affairs where one or both of the perpetrators of intercourse are people who are already bound by previous marriage ties. In addition, Article 284 of the Criminal Code is an absolute criminal offense which does not allow the act to be punished. If no one complains from the aggrieved party (the husband or wife who betrayed their partner) and as long as the case has not been examined before the court, the complaint can always be withdrawn. It can be concluded that the designer of the article criminalized this crime of adultery on the grounds of maintaining the sanctity of the marriage bond for people who are married. The method used in this research is normative legal research method. In this method, law is conceptualized as what is written in a statutory regulation (law in books) or law is conceptualized as a rule or norm that is used as a benchmark for human behavior so that it is considered appropriate. Normative legal research is carried out on secondary data such as scientific journals, books, previous research, and laws and regulations related to the object of research. Regulations on the crime of adultery in the future should pay attention to harmony with central socio-political, socio-philosophical, and socio-cultural values that can facilitate an act committed by an unmarried person or both of whom are not bound by a marriage. In formulating these regulations, one must look at the objectives of the law itself, namely certainty, justice and expediency.

Indonesia's potential has made Indonesia a strategic investment destination, both domestic investment and foreign investment. The enormous number of human resources, abundant natural wealth, and various forms of culture that stretch from Sabang to Merauke, have encouraged many potential investors to continue to monitor the development of the Indonesian economy. All of this potential can even continue to increase, if it is put to good use by the creative economy and the industries within it. The global economic recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the urgency for the development of the creative economy sector as a sector that has proven its resilience. Using normative legal research methods, this study analyzes Indonesia's ability to facilitate the interests and development of the creative economy in the context of investment. This research outlines the problems contained in the laws and regulations governing investment in Indonesia, as well as their impact on the creative economy in Indonesia. This research also proves that there is an urgency to renew the regulations contained in the laws and regulations governing investment, in order to attract more investors to invest, especially in creative industries.

Published: May 2023

The use of well-known brands is now starting to bloom, and this is none other than because it promises big benefits that will be obtained when using well-known brands instead of using their brands. One of the reasons why many industries use well-known brands for their products is to make them easy to sell. This study uses normative legal research methods to examine the protection of well-known brands in Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that trademark protection is provided after the trademark owner registers his trademark. Law Number 20 of 2016 needs to define well-known brands clearly. Well-known marks, namely the rejection of an application that is basically the same or wholly with a well-known Mark for similar goods and services is carried out with due observance of the general provisions. public knowledge about the mark in the field of business concerned. In addition, attention is also paid to the reputation of a well-known brand that is obtained due to vigorous and large-scale promotions, investments in several countries in the world that are carried out by the owner and are accompanied by proof of registration. brand in several countries.

The state is obliged to declare a state of emergency if it feels threatened by danger, whether coming from outside or within the country. Implementation of check and balance is necessary because executive authority in a state of emergency is too broad and open. Mechanism is needed that limits executive authority aimed at reducing the potential for the executive to abuse power in the implementation of a state of emergency. This study aims to determine the dangers of a single executive authority in imposing a state of emergency in the Indonesian Constitution by using legal arrangements and practices in France and Malaysia. This article uses normative legal research that based on library-based source. The approach used by researchers is a comparative approach that compares the content of provisions in the constitution and compares the implementation and history of emergency regulations. The result of this study is that the implementation of check and balance for the executive in determining a state of emergency is really needed based on a comparison of regulations and legal practices in France and India. Therefore, Indonesia must implement the practice of check and balance in declaring a state of emergency in order to decrease any potential of abuse of power.

Indonesia is known as a country whose people experience many problems related to debt receivables. However, education regarding collateral rights is still minimal. Therefore  , the government provides solutions related to education on the auction of objects through socialization.  The purpose of  this study discusses  the  process and protection of  legal certainty related to E-Aution of purchasing pawn objects at the  KPKNL service seen in its Islamic perspective.   This type of research     is qualitatively narrative by examining various literature to be discoping into research results. Thereason  is,  there is  socialization related to E-Auction because there is still minimal trust from  the E-Auction  system.  It was seen that  there were many cases of   irresponsible auctions and plus the  majority of Indonesians were Muslims, so the KPKNL  office provided progress from collaboration between managers  Syar'i-based  which is still categorized as new. However,  the collaboration process  between KPKNL and BSI fosters confidence and trust if  the implementation of  the E-Auction  is in accordance with Minister  of Finance Regulation No.  106 / PMK.  06/  2013 on E-Auction and No. 93/PMK. 06/2010 i.e.   preventive protection of auction winners

OBJECTIVE

Personalized stimulation is key to optimizing the outcomes of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). However, the contacts in a single conventional electrode cannot be programmed independently, which may affect the therapeutic efficacy of DBS for OCD. Therefore, a novel designed electrode and implantable pulse generator (IPG) that could achieve differential stimulation parameters for different contacts was implanted into the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) of a cohort of patients with OCD.

METHODS

Thirteen consecutive patients underwent bilateral DBS of the NAc-ALIC between January 2016 and May 2021. Differential stimulation of the NAc-ALIC was applied at initial activation. Primary effectiveness was assessed on the basis of change in scores on the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) from baseline to 6-month follow-up. Full-response was defined as a 35% decrease in Y-BOCS score. Secondary effectiveness measures were the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD). The local field potential of bilateral NAc-ALIC was recorded in 4 patients who were reimplanted with a sensing IPG after battery depletion of the previous IPG.

RESULTS

The Y-BOCS, HAMA, and HAMD scores decreased remarkably during the first 6 months of DBS. Ten of 13 patients were categorized as responders (76.9%). Differential stimulation of the NAc-ALIC was favorable to optimization of the stimulation parameters by increasing the parameter configurations. Power spectral density analysis revealed pronounced delta-alpha frequency activity in the NAc-ALIC. Phase-amplitude coupling of the NAc-ALIC showed that strong coupling is present between the phase of delta-theta and broadband gamma amplitude.

CONCLUSIONS

These preliminary findings indicate that differential stimulation of the NAc-ALIC can improve the efficacy of DBS for OCD.

Published: May 2023

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility and safety of "hybrid" stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) in guiding epilepsy surgery and in providing information at single-neuron levels (i.e., single-unit recording) to further the understanding of the mechanisms of epilepsy and the neurocognitive processes unique to humans.

METHODS

The authors evaluated 218 consecutive patients undergoing SEEG procedures from 1993 through 2018 at a single academic medical center to assess the utility and safety of this technique in both guiding epilepsy surgery and providing single-unit recordings. The hybrid electrodes used in this study contained macrocontacts and microwires to simultaneously record intracranial EEG and single-unit activity (hybrid SEEG). The outcomes of SEEG-guided surgical interventions were examined, as well as the yield and scientific utility of single-unit recordings in 213 patients who participated in the research involving single-unit recordings.

RESULTS

All patients underwent SEEG implantation by a single surgeon and subsequent video-EEG monitoring (mean of 10.2 electrodes per patient and 12.0 monitored days). Epilepsy networks were localized in 191 (87.6%) patients. Two clinically significant procedural complications (one hemorrhage and one infection) were noted. Of 130 patients who underwent subsequent focal epilepsy surgery with a minimum 12-month follow-up, 102 (78.5%) underwent resective surgery and 28 (21.5%) underwent closed-loop responsive neurostimulation (RNS) with or without resection. Seizure freedom was achieved in 65 (63.7%) patients in the resective group. In the RNS group, 21 (75.0%) patients achieved 50% or greater seizure reduction. When the initial period of 1993 through 2013 before responsive neurostimulator implantation in 2014 was compared with the subsequent period of 2014 through 2018, the proportion of SEEG patients undergoing focal epilepsy surgery grew from 57.9% to 79.7% due to the advent of RNS, despite a decline in focal resective surgery from 55.3% to 35.6%. A total of 18,680 microwires were implanted in 213 patients, resulting in numerous significant scientific findings. Recent recordings from 35 patients showed a yield of 1813 neurons, with a mean yield of 51.8 neurons per patient.

CONCLUSIONS

Hybrid SEEG enables safe and effective localization of epileptogenic zones to guide epilepsy surgery and provides unique scientific opportunities to investigate neurons from various brain regions in conscious patients. This technique will be increasingly utilized due to the advent of RNS and may prove a useful approach to probe neuronal networks in other brain disorders.

OBJECTIVE

Mutations in NF2 are the most common somatic driver mutation in sporadic meningiomas. NF2 mutant meningiomas preferentially arise along the cerebral convexities—however, they can also be found in the posterior fossa. The authors investigated whether NF2 mutant meningiomas differ in clinical and genomic features based on their location relative to the tentorium.

METHODS

Clinical and whole exome sequencing (WES) data for patients who underwent resection of sporadic NF2 mutant meningiomas were reviewed and analyzed.

RESULTS

A total of 191 NF2 mutant meningiomas were included (165 supratentorial, 26 infratentorial). Supratentorial NF2 mutant meningiomas were significantly associated with edema (64.0% vs 28.0%, p < 0.001); higher grade—i.e., WHO grade II or III (41.8% vs 3.9%, p < 0.001); elevated Ki-67 (55.0% vs 13.6%, p < 0.001); and larger volume (mean 45.5 cm3 vs 14.9 cm3, p < 0.001). Furthermore, supratentorial tumors were more likely to harbor the higher-risk feature of chromosome 1p deletion (p = 0.038) and had a larger fraction of the genome altered with loss of heterozygosity (p < 0.001). Infratentorial meningiomas were more likely to undergo subtotal resection than supratentorial tumors (37.5% vs 15.8%, p = 0.021); however, there was no significant difference in overall (p = 0.2) or progression-free (p = 0.4) survival.

CONCLUSIONS

Supratentorial NF2 mutant meningiomas are associated with more aggressive clinical and genomic features as compared with their infratentorial counterparts. Although infratentorial tumors have higher rates of subtotal resection, there is no associated difference in survival or recurrence. These findings help to better inform surgical decision-making in the management of NF2 mutant meningiomas based on location, and may guide postoperative management of these tumors.

Published: May 2023

OBJECTIVE

The authors utilized the area deprivation index (ADI), a validated composite measure of socioeconomic disadvantage, and the social vulnerability index (SVI) to examine whether differences in neighborhood deprivation impact interventions and outcomes among patients with craniosynostosis.

METHODS

Patients who underwent craniosynostosis repair between 2012 and 2017 were included. The authors collected data about demographic characteristics, comorbidities, follow-up visits, interventions, complications, desire for revision, and speech, developmental, and behavioral outcomes. National percentiles for ADI and SVI were determined using zip and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) codes. ADI and SVI were analyzed by tertile. Firth logistic regressions and Spearman correlations were used to assess associations between ADI/SVI tertile and outcomes/interventions that differed on univariate analysis. Subgroup analysis was performed to examine these associations in patients with nonsyndromic craniosynostosis. Differences in length of follow-up among the nonsyndromic patients in the different deprivation groups were assessed with multivariate Cox regressions.

RESULTS

In total, 195 patients were included, with 37% of patients in the most disadvantaged ADI tertile and 20% of patients in the most vulnerable SVI tertile. Patients in more disadvantaged ADI tertiles were less likely to have physician-reported desire (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.04–0.61, p < 0.01) or parent-reported desire (OR 0.16, 95% CI 0.04–0.52, p < 0.01) for revision, independent of sex and insurance status. In the nonsyndromic subgroup, inclusion in a more disadvantaged ADI tertile was associated with increased odds of speech/language concerns (OR 4.42, 95% CI 1.41–22.62, p < 0.01). There were no differences in interventions received or outcomes among SVI tertiles (p ≥ 0.24). Neither ADI nor SVI tertile was associated with risk of loss to follow-up among nonsyndromic patients (p ≥ 0.38).

CONCLUSIONS

Patients from the most disadvantaged neighborhoods may be at risk for poor speech outcomes and different standards of assessment for revision. Neighborhood measures of disadvantage represent a valuable tool to improve patient-centered care by allowing for modification of treatment protocols to meet the unique needs of patients and their families.

OBJECTIVE

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are the gold standard for assessing postoperative outcomes in spine surgery. However, PROMs are also limited by the inherent subjectivity of self-reported qualitative data. Recent literature has highlighted the utility of patient mobility data streamed from smartphone accelerometers as an objective measure of functional outcomes and complement to traditional PROMs. Still, for activity-based data to supplement existing PROMs, they must be validated against current metrics. In this study, the authors assessed the relationships and concordance between longitudinal smartphone-based mobility data and PROMs.

METHODS

Patients receiving laminectomy (n = 21) or fusion (n = 10) between 2017 and 2022 were retrospectively included. Activity data (steps-per-day count) recorded in the Apple Health mobile application over a 2-year perioperative window were extracted and subsequently normalized to allow for intersubject comparison. PROMS, including the visual analog scale (VAS), Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Pain Interference (PROMIS-PI), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and EQ-5D, collected at the preoperative and 6-week postoperative visits were retrospectively extracted from the electronic medical record. Correlations between PROMs and patient mobility were assessed and compared between patients who did and those who did not achieve the established minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for each measure.

RESULTS

A total of 31 patients receiving laminectomy (n = 21) or fusion (n = 10) were included. Change between preoperative and 6-week postoperative VAS and PROMIS-PI scores demonstrated moderate (r = −0.46) and strong (r = −0.74) inverse correlations, respectively, with changes in normalized steps-per-day count. In cohorts of patients who achieved PROMIS-PI MCID postoperatively, indicating subjective improvement in pain, there was a 0.784 standard deviation increase in normalized steps per day, representing a 56.5% improvement (p = 0.027). Patients who did achieve the MCID of improvement in either PROMIS-PI or VAS after surgery were more likely to experience an earlier sustained improvement in physical activity commensurate to or greater than their preoperative baseline (p = 2.98 × 10−18) than non-MCID patients.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrates a strong correlation between changes in mobility data extracted from patient smartphones and changes in PROMs following spine surgery. Further elucidating this relationship will allow for more robust supplementation of existing spine outcome measure tools with analyzed objective activity data.

Published: May 2023

Village Fund Direct Cash Assistance (BLT-DD) is cash assistance provided by the government to eligible residents through Village Officials whose recipients are determined based on many criteria. The process determine who is the most eligible citizen to be the recipient of BLT-DD takes a long time because of the large number of residents and the existence of several criteria used. There is a need for a decision support system that can assist village officials in choosing who is entitled to receive BLT-DD assistance. In this study, the application uses the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Simple Multi Attributee Rating Technique (SMART) methods. The criteria used are, get assistance, income, floor area, type of floor, type of wall, and education. By using the AHP method, it is possible to optimize the weighting of the criteria and the SMART method to produce a ranking of residents who are entitled to receive BLT-DD. The results of the study indicate that this application can be used to provide recommendations to village officials in determining BLT-DD recipients.

The Emergence of Mupirocin Resistance among Staphylococcus aureus in a Tertiary Care Hospital in South India: The Necessity for Routine Susceptibility Testing
Authors: Jayachandran Abirami lakshmy , Kandasamy Balan
Published: May 2023

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is difficult to treat, causing considerable morbidity and mortality. Nasal carriage of MRSA can occur both in healthcare workers and patients. Mupirocin is used as a topical agent for the eradication of such isolates. The present study aims to study the prevalence of mupirocin resistance among the MRSA and MSSA (Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus) isolates. A total of 148 Staphylococcus aureus isolates were tested. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method for amoxicillin, penicillin, cotrimoxazole, clindamycin, mupirocin(5 µg and 200 µg discs for low and high-level resistance), erythromycin, gentamicin and linezolid. MRSA isolates were detected by cefoxitin disc diffusion and Mec A detection by PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction). MRSA was detected among 44 (29.7%) of the isolates. Among MSSA, good susceptibility was observed for cotrimoxazole 89 (85.5%) and clindamycin 92 (88.4%). An overall mupirocin resistance of 12(8.1%) was observed, with high-level resistance at 4 (2.7%) and low-level resistance at 8 (5.4%).The mupirocin resistance pattern between MRSA and MSSA was not statistically significant (p=0.1833). The emergence of mupirocin resistance highlights the necessity for creating cognizance among clinicians before prescribing mupirocin. In eradicating nasal carriage of MRSA, all the isolates should always be tested for mupirocin susceptibility to prevent the selection and spread of drug-resistant isolates.

Tofu dregs are feed ingredients with high nutritional content and easy to rot. Therefore a silage storage technique is needed to preserve and reduce environmental pollution. The process of preserving high-protein feed by silage has a weakness in the process of lowering the pH. This happens because the ammonia from the deamination process is alkaline . The silage processing can converting some nutrients into organic acids which can improve livestock health and production. The Complete feed silage which was supplemented with tofu dregs was carried out on thin-tailed local rams aged 8-10 months and body weight 16-18 kg. The rams were grouped to 4 groups. The first gorup was P0 = complete feed which was suplemented with tofu dregs without silage processing compared to P1 = P0 + silage processing which was fermented for at least 14 days. The data then analyzed using t-independent method in a randomized block design on the basis of body weight. The results of the study showed that the average dry matter consumption of livestock was not significantly different P>0.1, the increase in monthly weight was higher in group P1 with a P value <0.05, the silage process increased the efficiency of p<0.05. Both treatment had no effect on cholesterol, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), glucose, red blood grains and white blood grains. So it can be concluded that feeding by silage is better than fresh

Background: Evaluation and accreditation of hospitals have essential roles in improving the quality, safety, and effectiveness of healthcare services. Nevertheless, this process may cause stress and anxiety among hospital staff. This study aims to determine and compare employees’ anxiety levels and perceived stress before and after the accreditation program in private hospitals in Ahvaz City, Iran. Methods: This research was a quantitative, observational, and longitudinal study. A total of 456 employees of Ahvaz private hospitals were recruited by convenience sampling. The state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) and the perceived stress scale-14 (PSS-14) were used to measure the level of anxiety and stress among hospital employees one month before and one month after implementing the hospital accreditation program. The data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 22 using descriptive and inferential statistics, such as the paired t-test, Pearson, and Spearman correlation coefficients. The significance level was set at P<0.05. Results: The findings showed a significant difference between perceived stress and anxiety before and after implementing the accreditation program (P<0.05). There was a significant relationship between the employees’ perceived stress levels and their age, gender, and work experience. The subjects’ state-trait anxiety was also significantly associated with their sex, work experience, and organizational position (P<0.05). Conclusion: Although the accreditation program usually improves the quality of healthcare, the employees experienced more stress and anxiety before the implementation of this program than after its completion, which can negatively affect the quality of care. Therefore, policymakers and managers should pay great attention to prevent stress and anxiety among healthcare providers while implementing the accreditation program.

Background: The healthcare environment is becoming increasingly competitive to meet patients’ expectations and demands. Despite the nurses’ best efforts to provide the finest services, they often receive complaints from people dissatisfied with the services they receive. There are reports claiming nurses as violent and unethical in their duties. This condition causes constant stress among nurses, translating into trait anger and negative affect. The present work aimed to examine the influence of trait anger and negative affectivity on deviant workplace behavior with the mediating role of moral disengagement. Methods: This cross-sectional correlational study was conducted in the general hospitals of the northern, southern, east coast, and central Malaysia’s regions from January to June 2020. The study sample included 387 nurses recruited by proportionate stratified random sampling. The data were collected using negative affect scale, deviant workplace behavior scale, trait anger scale, and moral disengagement scale. Then, the obtained were analyzed using partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM) with SMART PLS software, version 3.2.8. Results: The results of the PLS-PM suggested that trait anger contributes to deviant workplace behavior (β=0.245, P=0.001). Also, this study discovered that moral disengagement mediates the relationship between trait anger, negative affectivity, and deviant workplace behavior among nurses. Conclusion: This study enriches the knowledge of deviant workplace behavior in healthcare settings, specifically Malaysia’s public healthcare sector. In the future, similar studies should be performed in private hospitals to improve the generalisability of the findings.

Grammar Podcast for ESL College Students in Distance Learning
Authors: Al-Jarf Reima
Published: May 2023

Podcasts are audio files that are automatically delivered to the student’s computer, smart phone, iPad or MP3/MP4 player. They can be automatically updated. Students typically subscribe to podcasts using "podcatcher" software such as iTunes. The present study proposes a model for integrating grammar podcasts in teaching English grammar to EFL/ESL college students. It gives examples of English grammar podcasts that can be integrated in in-class grammar instruction. It shows how grammar podcasts can be downloaded and used and some of the grammatical structures and topics are covered by those podcasts. Grammar podcasts contain 2-5-minute-long audio explanations of a particular grammatical point or structure. They include a lesson script, exercises, quizzes with an answer key, and/or an English grammar help where answers are given to students’ questions about problematic grammatical points. Students can download podcasts, print the script, do the exercises and score their answers themselves. Elementary, intermediate, and advanced level grammar podcasts can be downloaded depending on the students’ needs and proficiency level. Unlike face-to-face classroom lectures, students can listen to grammar podcasts anywhere, anytime and as many times as they need. Classroom discussions on a grammar podcast can be performed in pairs, small groups or even whole class. End-of-semester grammar tests can be given to find out improvements in the students’ grammatical knowledge/achievement as a result of integrating grammar podcasts in EFL grammar courses. Recommendations for the effective use of grammar podcasts are given.
