Government-Nongovernmental Organization (NGO) Collaboration in Macao’s COVID-19 Vaccine Promotion: Social Media Case Study
Authors: Xian Xuechang , Neuwirth Rostam J , Chang Angela
Published: March 2024

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic triggered unprecedented global vaccination efforts, with social media being a popular tool for vaccine promotion.

Objective

This study probes into Macao’s COVID-19 vaccine communication dynamics, with a focus on the multifaceted impacts of government agendas on social media.

Methods

We scrutinized 22,986 vaccine-related Facebook posts from January 2020 to August 2022 in Macao. Using automated content analysis and advanced statistical methods, we unveiled intricate agenda dynamics between government and nongovernment entities.

Results

“Vaccine importance” and “COVID-19 risk” were the most prominent topics co-occurring in the overall vaccine communication. The government tended to emphasize “COVID-19 risk” and “vaccine effectiveness,” while regular users prioritized vaccine safety and distribution, indicating a discrepancy in these agendas. Nonetheless, the government has limited impact on regular users in the aspects of vaccine importance, accessibility, affordability, and trust in experts. The agendas of government and nongovernment users intertwined, illustrating complex interactions.

Conclusions

This study reveals the influence of government agendas on public discourse, impacting environmental awareness, public health education, and the social dynamics of inclusive communication during health crises. Inclusive strategies, accommodating public concerns, and involving diverse stakeholders are paramount for effective social media communication during health crises.
Head Protection Device for Individuals at Risk for Head Injury due to Ground-Level Falls: Single Trauma Center User Experience Investigation
Authors: Haag Susan , Kepros John
Published: March 2024

Background

Falls represent a large percentage of hospitalized patients with trauma as they may result in head injuries. Brain injury from ground-level falls (GLFs) in patients is common and has substantial mortality. As fall prevention initiatives have been inconclusive, we changed our strategy to injury prevention. We identified a head protection device (HPD) with impact-resistant technology, which meets head impact criteria sustained in a GLF. HPDs such as helmets are ubiquitous in preventing head injuries in sports and industrial activities; yet, they have not been studied for daily activities.

Objective

We investigated the usability of a novel HPD on patients with head injury in acute care and home contexts to predict future compliance.

Methods

A total of 26 individuals who sustained head injuries, wore an HPD in the hospital, while ambulatory and were evaluated at baseline and 2 months post discharge. Clinical and demographic data were collected; a usability survey captured HPD domains. This user experience design revealed patient perceptions, satisfaction, and compliance. Nonparametric tests were used for intragroup comparisons (Wilcoxon signed rank test). Differences between categorical variables including sex, race, and age (age group 1: 55-77 years; age group 2: 78+ years) and compliance were tested using the chi-square test.

Results

Of the 26 patients enrolled, 12 (46%) were female, 18 (69%) were on anticoagulants, and 25 (96%) were admitted with a head injury due to a GLF. The median age was 77 (IQR 55-92) years. After 2 months, 22 (85%) wore the device with 0 falls and no GLF hospital readmissions. Usability assessment with 26 patients revealed positive scores for the HPD post discharge regarding satisfaction (mean 4.8, SD 0.89), usability (mean 4.23, SD 0.86), effectiveness (mean 4.69, SD 0.54), and relevance (mean 4.12, SD 1.10). Nonparametric tests showed positive results with no significant differences between 2 observations. One issue emerged in the domain of aesthetics; post discharge, 8 (30%) patients had a concern about device weight. Analysis showed differences in patient compliance regarding age (χ12=4.27; P=.04) but not sex (χ12=1.58; P=.23) or race (χ12=0.75; P=.60). Age group 1 was more likely to wear the device for normal daily activities. Patients most often wore the device ambulating, and protection was identified as the primary benefit.

Conclusions

The HPD intervention is likely to have reasonably high compliance in a population at risk for GLFs as it was considered usable, protective, and relevant. The feasibility and wearability of the device in patients who are at risk for GLFs will inform future directions, which includes a multicenter study to evaluate device compliance and effectiveness. Our work will guide other institutions in pursuing technologies and interventions that are effective in mitigating injury in the event of a fall in this high-risk population.
An Analysis of the Translation of Chinese Culture-loaded Words in Fortress Besieged from the Perspective of Reception Aesthetics
Authors: Hu Wenxue
Published: March 2024

Culture-loaded words are phrases and idioms that reflect unique national cultural characteristics and can directly reflect the historical uniqueness of a country. This paper discusses the translation of culture-loaded words in Fortress Besieged from the perspective of reception aesthetics, and analyzes the translator’s translation methods according to the similarities and differences between the source language culture and the target language culture. It also analyzes the feasibility of the translation of culture-loaded words under the guidance of reception aesthetics and the quality of the translation under the guidance of the two main theories of reception aesthetics (reader’s horizon of expectation and the implied reader). The main findings of this study are as follows: Firstly, translators adopt some translation methods and selectively meet readers’ directional and creative expectations. For different cultural transplanting phenomena, translators adopt different translation strategies to cater to readers’ receptivity and needs. Secondly, the implied reader plays an intermediary role in literature, connecting the creator and the audience, so that the work can be interpreted and experienced in a variety of contexts.

Authors: Kumar Mr. Aniruddh , Kumar Naveen , Yadav Navneet , Yadav Ram Tilak
Published: March 2024

Abstract: AutoID gateKnight represents a significant breakthrough in gate security technology. Its utilization of License Plate Recognition and vehicle color detection technologies not only strengthens access control but also offers a level of adaptability and customization that is unparalleled. At the entrance gate, the system will be able to identify licence plates from passing cars and determine whether or not to allow the vehicle access. The gate will operate automatically, with no human interaction. The device is made up of a video camera that records video frames, which contain a picture of the licence plate and the colour of the car. In order to build the suggested system, colour detection using a colour histogram, easyocr to extract the number plate from the image, and Haar cascade for number plate detection have all been used. We process the number plate and colour of the car after properly identifying it, and then we compare it to the vehicle's authorization and registration status. By compiling both the number plate and color of the vehicle, this system provides a robust and highly accurate result. Additionally, the system maintains an updated database of the cars that have left and entered into the required places within a particular duration.

Authors: Balayan Roel , Oliveros Rodora T. , Tagalog Larex B.
Published: March 2024

Blended hybrid mathematics instruction offers the flexibility of online learning and the engagement of face-to-face interaction. However, research on student participation in these learning environments needs to be improved. This study investigated the dynamics of student participation, focusing on four key dimensions: conceptual understanding, mathematical communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking and analysis. A survey of 158 BS Mathematics students revealed that online learners tended to exhibit a higher level of conceptual understanding. At the same time, face-to-face interactions enhance problem-solving skills and stimulate more remarkable development of critical thinking and analytical abilities. Mathematical communication skills were somewhat constrained in both settings, with face-to-face students displaying slightly higher participation. These findings underscore the importance of considering the diverse dimensions of student participation when delivering online and hybrid mathematics courses. Educators should provide opportunities for students to hone and cultivate essential skills across online and face-to-face contexts, thus enriching their learning experience.

FROM CONFLICT TO COOPERATION: HOW SYNTHETIC RUBBER INSTRUMENTAL IN CULMINATING JAPAN-ASEAN TIES
Authors: Md Akhir Md Nasrudin
Published: March 2024

This article analyzes the overview of Japan-ASEAN relations since their interaction 50 years ago. Japan-ASEAN relations in the late 1960s and early 1970s were less encouraging due to dissatisfaction involving the issue of synthetic rubber in 1972-1974 as well as the unwelcoming response during Kakuei Tanaka’s visit to five ASEAN member countries in 1974. This article partly uses a primary source obtained from the National Archives of Malaysia which is a declassified documents prepared in December 1972 by officials from Malaysia’s main ministries on the threat of Japanese synthetic rubber. It is necessary to state that the approach taken by these bureaucrats is through a "softening up" measure instead of “hard-bargaining tactics” to find the best solution by proposing the ASEAN platform as a strategy for dealing with the Japanese government. This article provides a laconic view of the extent to which Japan’s relations with ASEAN encountered difficulties along the journey before arriving to the current phase. The relationship has reflected strong resilience and bond based on mutual interests and shared responsibility in promoting regional harmony and development.

Vaccination against high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) is currently
the main mechanism for reducing cervical cancer in Spain. The objective
of this study is to investigate the prevalence and distribution of HPV
types within a population of 30,947 subjects with suspicion of HPV
infection and/or with a genital lesion diagnostic from 2007 to 2022.
Samples were analysed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction
fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis and/or DNA sequencing. An
overall HPV prevalence of 29.2% and 49 different types were verified,
of which HPV 16, 53, 31, 66, 6, 58, 61, 33, 18 and 84 were the most
common. HPV 6, 16, 31 and 33 were more prevalent in younger populations,
while HPV 18, 53, 58, 61, 70 and 83 presented higher frequencies in
older ages. High-risk HPVs had a frequency of 47.3% in positive
samples, which was higher in atypical squamous or glandular cells
(73.7%), low-degree squamous intraepithelial lesions (67.0%) and
high-degree squamous intraepithelial lesions (87.1%). A reduction
tendency of high-risk HPVs was observed during the studied period,
indicating the effectiveness of the vaccination program. By determining
the HPV distribution in Spain, this study presents baseline information
that can be applied for assessing prophylactic and therapeutic
strategies.

Authors: Dragov Rangel
Published: March 2024

The aim of the presented study was to establish mid parent heterosis and
better parent heterosis of five quantitative traits related to the
productivity and quality of durum wheat. A diallel cross was performed for
three consecutive years. Thus, F1 generations are provided for three years.
The experiments were conducted in randomized block design in three
replications for three consecutive years - 2014, 2015 and 2016. The trials
were carried out in the breeding field of the Field Crops Institute, Chirpan
according to the accepted technology for growing durum wheat. Mid parent and
better parent heterosis of ten durum wheat crosses were determined. The
better parent heterosis reached up to -7.4 (-7.61%) for plant height, up to
4.66 (56.30%) for number of productive tillers, up to 1.63 (21.01%) for
spike length, up to 2.25 (13.84%) for grain protein content and up to 4.66
(13.92%) for grain wet gluten content. Two valuable combinations showed
heterosis on several traits. Progres X Predel indicated better parent
heterosis for three of the five traits included in the study. Deni X Progres
indicated better parent heterosis for three of the five traits studied. The
Progres variety is recommended for use as a mother and as a pollinator, and
the Deni variety as a mother in winter durum wheat crossing programs. These
varieties and their crosses are suitable for improving the productivity and
quality of durum wheat. The obtained results may be applied in the hybrid
and combining breeding programs to improve durum wheat.

Published: March 2024

Objective: To investigate (i) to what extent physiotherapists (PTs) working in stroke rehabilitation in various parts of the stroke care chain have implemented interventions according to the national guidelines for stroke (NGS), (ii) facilitating and hindering factors for the implementation, and (iii) differences between various care settings.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Subjects: 148 PTs working in stroke rehabilitation in various parts of the care chain in Sweden.
Methods: Data were collected by a web-based survey.
Results: Task-specific training for walking (80–98%), impaired motor function (64–100%) and fall prevention (73–92%) were most implemented. Factors that facilitated implementation were: important to comply with the NGS, that PTs had confidence to perform the interventions, and that interventions were clearly described. Limited time, lack of resources, no clear goals or routines at the workplace hindered the implementation. Significant differences (p < 0.05) between the settings existed. Municipal and primary care reported most challenges in implementing the NGS and providing evidence-based interventions.
Conclusion: Most interventions, with high priority according to NGS, are provided by PTs working in stroke rehabilitation, although differences in various parts of the care chain exist. Knowledge, time, education and supportive management are important factors when implementing evidence-based interventions.

Halu Oleo University (UHO) Botanical Garden is one of the green open spaces that contribute to maintaining climate stability and environmental comfort in Kendari City, along with the high land use change due to increased population and city progress. The study aimed to determine the effect of land cover types on microclimate in UHO Botanical Garden and its surroundings. The research was conducted from June 2021 to January 2022. The research was conducted on three types of vegetation land cover.  The variables measured were microclimate, including light intensity, temperature, relative humidity, and temperature humidity index. Measurements were conducted in the morning, afternoon, and evening. The method used was descriptive quantitative and statistical analysis using the analysis of variance and the least significant difference (LSD) test. The results showed that the microclimatic conditions of UHO Botanical Garden in tree-dominant land cover are more comfortable and significantly different from grass-dominant and settlement-dominant, but they are not significantly different between grass-dominant and settlement-dominant. This fact indicates the importance of the conservation of tree vegetation and the need for supervision so that there is no diversion of functions into settlements to maintain the preservation and sustainability of UHO Botanical Garden as one of the green open spaces that control climate stability and environmental comfort in Kendari City.

Published: March 2024

Mangrove forests on small islands play an essential role in the stability of island ecosystems. It is crucial to analyze the performance of local institutions in forest management to increase the community’s active role in preserving mangrove forests. This research aims to analyze the performance of local institutions managing mangroves on small islands. The research was conducted on Buano Island, Maluku, Indonesia. In-depth interviews and participant observation were used to obtain data. Data analysis uses a Situation, Structure, Behavior, and Performance (SSBP) approach. The research results show that the community is very dependent on mangrove forests. Resources are owned by the clan group (Soa) but managed by members of the clan group (family). Thus, the phenomenon occurs when common pool resources are managed by private (Dati/Nuru) proprietors. The community regulates the utilization of potential forest resources by dividing management areas controlled by each Soa/Nuru group. The preservation of natural potential on Buano Island is supervised by Kewang and Sasi culture. Applying customary rules increases the community’s active role in managing resources and supporting village management. However, mangrove forest logging activities continue to occur. This performance shows a very high decline in mangrove forest vegetation and regeneration of mangrove forests. Stakeholder support is needed to increase the knowledge and skills of the community, especially traditional leaders, in implementing sustainable forest management.

Shape Recognition and Corner Points Detection in 2D Drawings Using a Machine Learning Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Approach
Authors: Karimi Zahra , Savant Shrikant , Zeid Abe , Kamarthi Sagar
Published: March 2024

Creating a 2D geometry model from an image poses challenges for CAD users due to factors such as noise, segmentation difficulties, complex geometric structures, scale and perspective variations, and the need for CAD system compatibility. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning approach utilizing Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) to address these challenges. Our approach decomposes the shapes in the images into line and curve segments and accurately locates their intersection points. To enhance the model’s performance, we introduce two distinct types of features (angle and curvature features) and optimize the model through hyperparameter tuning. The resulting model exhibits robustness against noise, varying image sizes, and can effectively locate different types of intersection points. To evaluate the proposed model, we have developed a Python-based software and conducted experiments on a dataset comprising of 200 shapes with seven different resolutions. Comparative analysis against a state-of-the- art method (TCVD) from the literature demonstrates that our approach achieves higher accuracy in terms of line, curve, and intersection point detection.

Published: March 2024

This study aims to find out and analyze how the PTSL program at the Central Aceh District Land Office is running. The research method used a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques were carried out by interviews, observation, documentation and literature study. Informants came from the PTSL program implementation team, namely the physical and juridical task force, village committee and the community who participated in program implementation. The results of the study show that there are two problems in implementing the PTSL program in Central Aceh District, namely; first, the slow process of distributing certificates to the public. Second, the community complained about being quoted the cost of preparing for the implementation of the program as an operation in the village. The long implementation of the program was due to a lack of communication and coordination that existed between the implementing committee, namely the village and the Central Aceh District Land Office committee. Meanwhile, the preparation costs quoted from the community were in accordance with applicable regulations, namely a maximum quotation of Rp. 250,000 per plot of land and an additional Rp. 50,000 if there is no basis for land right. There are no other citations outside of the regulations, so there is no indication of extortion in the implementation of the program caused by the leadership of the Head of the Land Office who gave a firm warning to both the office implementing committee and the committee in the village implementing the program.

Subjects of this study were severe preeclampsia and normal pregnancy patient that fulfilled the inclusion criteria (n=60) in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung during August-September 2017.Result: It is revealed that the differences in level of LDL and LDL/HDL ratios in both groups were significant with p value ≤ 0,05. But there were no differences in HDL level. Increased level of LDL/HDL ratio in pregnancy was related to increased risk of preeclampsia with cut-off point> 2,632. If the increased level of LDL/HDL above cut-off point then the insident of severe preeclampsia increased 21,36 times.Conclusion: It was concluded that level of LDL and LDL/HDL ratios in severe preeclampsia were higher than in normal pregnancy. The increased LDL/HDL ratio of > 2.632 increased the risk of severe preeclampsia by 21.36 times.Perbandingan Rasio Low Density Lipoprotein/High Density Lipoprotein antara Preeklamsi Berat dan Kehamilan Normal di RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin BandungAbstrakTujuan: Penelitian ini adalah untuk mencari perbedaan rasio Low Density Lipoprotein/High Density Lipoprotein (LDL/HDL) pada preeklamsi berat dibandingkan dengan kehamilan normal sebagai faktor risiko timbulnya preeklamsi.Metode: Rancangan penelitian kasus kontrol membandingkan LDL, HDL, dan rasio LDL/HDL penderita preeklamsi berat dan kehamilan normal (n=60) bulan Agustus-September 2017 di Rumah Sakit Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung.Hasil: Hasil penelitian didapatkan perbedaan kadar LDL dan rasio LDL/HDL pada kedua kelompok secara bermakna dengan nilai p ≤0,05. Namun tidak didapatkan perbedaan yang bermakna pada kadar HDL. Peningkatan kadar LDL dan rasio LDL/HDL berhubungan dengan peningkatan risiko terjadinya preeklamsi dengan nilai cut-off > 2,632. Bila terjadi peningkatan rasio LDL/HDL diatas nilai cut-off maka risiko tejadinya preeklamsi berat sebesar 21,36 kali.Simpulan: Kadar LDL yang tinggi dan nilai cut-off rasio LDL/HDL >2,632 meningkatkan risiko terjadinya preeklamsi berat 21,36 kaliKata kunci: Preeklamsi, LDL, HDL, Rasio LDL/HDL

Tujuan: Untuk menganalisis hubungan kadar vitamin D dengan kualitas sperma pada pria subfertil, serta membandingkan kualitas sperma berdasarkan klasifikasi kadar vitamin D serum pada pria normospermia dan pria oligoasthenoteratospermia.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yang bersifat observasional analitik dengan rancangan studi potong lintang. Subjek penelitian adalah pria subfertil yang berusia 20-50 tahun, dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok, yaitu 30 pasien normospermia dan 16 pasien oligoasthenoteratospermia berdasarkan berdasarkan kriteria World Health Organization 2010. Penelitian dilakukan di Klinik Teknologi Reproduksi Berbantu Aster, RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Analisis data menggunakan analisis korelasi rank SpearmanHasil: Pada penelitian ini didapatkan korelasi positif antara kadar vitamin D dan motilitas sperma ( r = 0,639, p = < 0,001), tetapi tidak didapatkan korelasi pada konsentrasi dan morfologi sperma ( p>0,05). Perbedaan yang bermakna didapatkan antara kadar vitamin D pada kelompok normospermia dan oligoasthenoteratospermia dengan nilai p<0,05. Pada perbandingan kualitas sperma berdasarkan klasifikasi kadar vitamin D hanya motilitas sperma saja yang memiliki perbedaan bermakna dengan nilai p<0,05.Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara kadar vitamin D serum dan motilitas sperma.Correlation Of Vitamin D Serum Level With Concentration, Motility, And Morphology Of Spermatozoa Subfertil In Assisted Reproductive Technology Aster Clinic Hasan Sadikin Hospital BandungAbstractObjective: This study aims to analyze the relationship of vitamin D levels with sperm quality in subfertile men, as well as comparing sperm quality based on vitamin D serum levels classification in normospermic men and oligoasthenoteratospermia men.Method: This study is an analytic observasional with cross sectional design. Research subjects were subfertile men aged 20-50 years divided into 2 groups, consisting of 30 patients with normospermic and 16 patients with oligoasthenoteratospermia based on World Health Organization 2010 criteria. The research was conducted at Assisted Reproductive Technology Aster, RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung. Data analysis was using Spearman’s rank correlation analytic.Result: We found a positive correlation between vitamin D levels and sperm motility (r = 0.639, p = <0.001), but no correlation was found on sperm concentration and morphology (p> 0.05). There was a significant difference between vitamin D levels in normospermic and oligoasthenoteratospermia group with p <0,05. In the sperm quality comparison based on vitamin D serum classification, only sperm motility alone had a significant difference with the value of p <0.05. It was concluded that level of vitamin D serum has positive correlation with sperm motility.Key word: subfertile, vitamin D,  sperm quality
