Published: June 2024

Data pembiayaan klaim rawat inap HIV/AIDS oleh BPJS Kesehatan di Jawa Timur tahun 2017-2021 berdasarkan tipe RS perawatan kasus HIV/AIDS cenderung tidak memperhatikan keparahan kasusnya. Pada Kota Mojokerto, Kabupaten Mojokerto dan Kabupaten Jombang, proporsi terbesar kasus rawat inap HIV/AIDS paling banyak dilayani di RS tipe B. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah studi kasus tipe 2 yaitu kasus tunggal embedded dan menggunakan. pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa proporsi terbesar pasien JKN rawat inap HIV/AIDS adalah jenis kepesertaan PBI yang merupakan segmen masyarakat tidak mampu. Sehingga hal ini seharusnya menjadi perhatian serius baik pemerintah pusat maupun pemerintah daerah agar lebih berkomitmen dalam pembiayaan HIV/AIDS. Klaim rawat inap kasus HIV/AIDS di RS Wilayah Kerja BPJS Kesehatan Kantor Cabang Mojokerto dalam kurun waktu tahun 2017-2021 proporsi kasus tertinggi pada tipe RS B. Pada dasarnya pelayanan sudah berjalan sesuai dengan aturan-aturan seperti Permenkes, Perda dan SOP-SOP yang ada di setiap faskes. Namun, kasus rawat inap HIV/AIDS yang terkonsentrasi sebagian besar di RS Tipe B menggambarkan mekanisme sistem rujukan berjenjang tidak berjalan sebagaimana mestinya. Hal ini dikarenakan tidak semua fasilitas kesehatan yang telah terikat kerja sama dengan BPJS Kesehatan adalah fasilitas kesehatan yang sudah PDP.

AN ANALYSIS OF OVERALL TECHNICAL, PURE AND SCALE EFFICIENCIES OF RICE FARMS IN SATKHIRA DISTRICT OF BANGLADESH: A DATA ENVELOPMENT APPROACH
Authors: Kazi Julfikar Ali , Md Abdul Khalek  , Md Abdur Rashid Sarker
Published: June 2024

This study measures efficiency of Aman rice farms and assesses the effect of farm-specific variables on the efficiencies using cross-section data in Bangladesh. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) method is used to measure the efficiency levels of Aman rice farms in Bangladesh. We used multi-stage sampling technique to collect the data of 455 rice farms using face to face interview method. The results show that the mean overall technical efficiency, pure technical efficiency, and scale efficiency are 0.75, 0.91, and 0.83, respectively. The beauty of this article is the use of scale efficiency which identifies the three different stages of production. The finding of the scale efficiency shows that about 0.89 percent of the Aman rice farm is operating at economies of scale that is really higher than optimal level. The Tobit regression model is employed in order to assess the cause of inefficiencies of rice farms. The results of Tobit regression implies that agriculture policy variable, farmers having bank account for receiving government agricultural assistance, positively relates to the technical efficiency of Aman rice farms. The policy implication of these findings implies government assistance such as cash incentive, and extension service need to be extended and implemented with proper targeting.

Published: June 2024

Eryngium aquaticum L. (Apiaceae), a culinary herb enjoyed in global cuisines, is also valued for its medicinal properties. The essential oil (EO) extracted from E. aquaticum leaves by hydro-distillation was subjected to antibacterial and antibiofilm activity using a microtiter plate-based in vitro assay against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Compounds identified by GC-MS analysis of EO were screened against the transcriptional regulatory proteins SarA of S. aureus and LasR of P. aeruginosa by molecular docking analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was recorded as 250 μg/mL against both of these two pathogens. The EO of E. aquaticum also showed concentration-dependent antibiofilm activity against these pathogens, with a maximum inhibition of 50.9 and 48.03% against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus, respectively, at the highest concentration (500 μg/mL) tested. The GC-MS analysis identified 17 compounds and all of them showed moderate to weak binding affinity for the active sites of SarA and LasR, with pentanedioic acid (2,4-di-t-butylphenyl) mono-ester showing the best docking score against SarA (-5.7 kcal/mol) and LasR (-8.0 kcal/mol). This study suggests that E. aquaticum can be a good source of EO with antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus.

Authors: Wahiduzzaman Mohammad , Gour Chandra Paul
Published: June 2024

Employing a non-central difference method of lines in tandem with the 4th order Runge-Kutta technique, this study adopts a sophisticated computational approach, ensuring precision and efficiency to resolve the shallow water equations and predict water levels caused by a cyclone in the coastal area of Bangladesh. To discretize spatial derivatives, a 4-point backward finite difference method utilized while keeping time derivatives continuous. The authors transformed the shallow water equations with boundary conditions into an initial value problem and used the Runge-Kutta(4,4) method for solving this transformed initial value problem. To effectively include the land-sea boundary and bottom structure at a reasonable charge, the authors used a high-resolution approach. To create a regular and stable tidal oscillation in the area, the authors applied the  tidal component to the southern boundary of the primary model. Then ran the surge model to estimate water elevations caused by the nonlinear interaction between tide and surge. Using numerical experiments, the authors simulated water heights generated by tide, pure surge, and tide surge interaction caused by the intense cyclonic storm SITRANG. The study's simulated results demonstrate a commendable alignment with the reported data.

Pre-Service Physical Education Teachers’ Playing Experience and Skill Analysis Ability
Authors: Tan Shern Meng
Published: June 2024

The relationship between playing experience and skill analysis ability among pre-service physical education teachers is understudied. This study examined the relationship between playing experience, general and game-specific, and skill analysis ability among pre-service physical education teachers in Singapore. Pre-service physical education teachers completed surveys of their playing experience and skill analysis ability prior to the start of their physical education teacher education programs. Spearman's rank-order correlations were run to determine the relationships between playing experience, general and game-specific, and skill analysis ability among pre-service physical education teachers. The results showed that the pre-service physical education teachers lacked playing experience in general and were not able to analyze any of the skills commonly taught in schools. Also, there was no correlations between playing experience and skill analysis ability, e.g., a pre-service physical education teacher with playing experience in a game/sport is unable to analyze the skills used in that game/sport, and they are also unable to analyze skills not used in that game/ sport.
Cogging Torque Reduction of Brushless DC Motor: Investigating the Efficacy of Ra-dial Pole Shaping Technique with Novel Bump-Shaped Rotor Pole
Authors: Jhankal Tanuj , Patel Amit N.
Published: June 2024

With the rising demand for high-performance motors in electrical vehicle applications, permanent magnet brushless DC motors are a promising solution due to their various attractive features. However, it has a significant drawback of high cogging torque, which deteriorates the overall motor performance. This negative impact is dominating in electric vehicles for low-speed applications. It is desirable to reduce the cogging torque to improve the performance of the radial flux brushless DC motor. The prime focus of this research is reducing cogging torque through the radial pole shaping technique with a bump-shaped rotor pole surface. This work also investigates the impact of the proposed approach on torque ripple and motor performance while cutting down the requirement for rare earth material. This paper uses two ratings: 1000 W, 510 rpm, and 250 W, 150 rpm motors. Two reference motors of proposed ratings were designed using radial-shaped permanent magnet poles. Finite element software is used for the simulation and modeling of the motors. A novel bump-shaped permanent magnet pole shape is introduced, and in-depth investigations have been carried out to evaluate the impact of the proposed pole shape on cogging torque. The validity of the analysis results is further substantiated by comparing the improved and reference model results. The comparison investigation indicates that the motor equipped with the proposed pole shape performs better than the reference motor.
Comparative Study of TLP250 and IR2132 Driver-Based Inverter for Induction Motor Driving
Authors: Yurico Timothy Hutton , Riyadi Slamet
Published: June 2024

As time progresses, electric motors are used for industrial or commercial purposes. The need for a motor that is robust, simple, and easy to maintain has been answered by creating an induction motor that can handle the purpose. At the beginning of its use, induction motors were more often used at constant speeds. Using an inverter becomes one of the solutions at hand to control the induction motor. Nowadays, most inverters are controlled by the SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) method. This method can adjust the output voltage and frequency by setting the carrier signal's frequency value and the reference signal's amplitude. A driver circuit is needed to implement an SPWM-based inverter. This driver circuit is needed to isolate the power circuit from the controller. Moreover, this circuit is also used to increase the microcontroller output signal to trigger the IGBT gate switch. The IR2132 and TLP250 drivers are often used in three-phase inverter applications. These drivers have advantages and disadvantages. This paper discusses the capabilities of these two drivers when applied to a three-phase inverter that functions as an induction motor drive. This inverter-controlled induction motor is advantageous because it can be rotated at a nominal speed and frequency.

Published: June 2024

Solar distillation converts salt water into drinkable water, requiring minimal maintenance and energy-saving. However, the desalination process has drawbacks because the system's slow evaporation and condensation rate leads to low freshwater output. Consequently, this method is not widely utilized due to its limited productivity. To address this issue, the study's primary aim was to enhance the productivity of the single-slope solar still. This was achieved by altering the water depth from 3 cm to 6 cm and incorporating an external reflector. The experiments were conducted in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India (11.0168° N, 76.9558° E), with a condensing cover inclined at 11 degrees. The research occurred on varying days between October and November 2023, with water depths ranging from 3 to 6 cm. A comprehensive analysis investigated the influence of different factors on daily production, such as ambient temperature, solar intensity, and inner and outer glass temperatures. The experimental results indicate that the solar still with a single basin, operating at a water depth of 3 cm, achieved the highest water productivity (2.68 L/day) and displayed the best efficiency (30.52%) compared to 4, 5, and 6cm depths. Furthermore, incorporating an external reflector into the solar system still demonstrated a notable elevation in temperature, resulting in a significant boost in water productivity of 3.085 liters per day. This improvement also led to an increase in efficiency of 35.1%.

Authors: Marini Lelly , Rabihati Etty , Ryanti Eva , Hariyani Susi , Abubakar Helyanto
Published: June 2024

The choice of building materials has a considerable influence on the reliability of a building. Conventional bricks, despite their frequent use, pose a challenge due to their weight, as they affect the load-bearing capacity of the building, unlike interlocking bricks, which have holes at the top and bottom for reinforcement, potentially reducing the effects of earthquakes. In this study, interlocking bricks made from a mixture of empty oil palm fruit stalks and sand with different sand replacements (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5%) are investigated. The research results consistently show that the average density of EFB fiber composite bricks with a density of 1.48 grams/cm³ is lower than that of standard composite bricks. Although the compressive strength of these bricks is initially lower than that of standard bricks, it increases with the substitution of part of the sand with EFB fibers, although not significantly, with the highest compressive strength observed at a substitution rate of 12.5%, reaching 5.201 MPa. Water absorption rates ranged from 13.97% to 21.99%, which increases compared to standard bricks but still meets the requirements. With ongoing research and innovation, EFB-based interlocking bricks have the potential to address environmental challenges and support sustainable and environmentally friendly building practices.

Published: June 2024

Optics research has recently proven important for scientific, educational, and industrial applications. This study examines the increase and distribution of literature on learning and teaching optics. This analytical strategy uses quantitative and statistical methods to identify trends, evaluate quality, and monitor progress. From the 530 documents obtained using the Scopus database between 1944 and 2023, 464 were chosen. With a total of 49 documents, 2014 had the greatest substantial increase in the number of documents since 1944 till this data was collected. Writers from the United States contributed to 115 documents with 36% citations. They ranked first, followed by authors from Germany (37 documents and 12% citations) and China (36 documents), with citation rankings just below the top 10. Most publications appeared in Physics Education (15 documents; Q2 SJR 0.41). The International Journal of Science Education received the most citations for publications on teaching and learning optics (159 citations; Q1 SJR 1.15) and was ranked 1 in its category. The current core literature on teaching and learning optics shows that this area is quickly evolving but with insufficient international research collaboration. Research collaboration in this field must be strengthened to improve the worldwide response to teaching and learning optics. There is a need to broaden the scope of study regarding assessment instruments, technological engineering, learning approaches, learning methods, learning strategies, and learning media within the context of teaching and learning optics from elementary school to the university level.

This article aims to outline factors that influence preferences of meat consumers. The survey is based on interviews of 950 consumers in Ulaanbaatar. The results of consumer preference were obtained by statistical data processing and average score data calculating (ACS) and standard deviation (SD) with SPSS Statistics ver. 25.0 program using Varimax and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) orthogonal rotation principal component analysis method. The results show that the consumer preference regarding meat is based on its outside, which is evident from the data obtained (the mean value was 3.79, SD=1.32). This means that the outside of meat is the most important quality characteristic for Ulaanbaatar consumers. In addition, the analysis of qualitative indicators revealed that consumers pay little attention to the size of fat in meat and factors of its possible environmental contamination.

Authors: Gupta Salil , Singh Sindhu , Dhull Pawan , Anadure Ravi , Somashekharan Manoj , Sreen Amit
Published: June 2024

Background & Objective: The existing practice in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) is to initiate therapy with steroids, intravenous immune globulin (IVIg), or plasma exchange (PLEX) followed by period of immunosuppression. The objective of this study is to assess disability outcomes at 6 months after starting therapy.
Methods: Patients who were diagnosed as having CIDP from the Army Hospital of Research and Referral, Delhi; who were initiated and maintained on therapy by treating neurologists with a six month follow up were included in this study. They were retrospectively divided into three groups based on initial therapy received. The primary outcome was comparison of the Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) group overall disability sum score (INCAT-ODSS) at 6 months. Secondary outcomes were difference in score at 1 and 3 months, proportion with at least 20% response at 3 and 6 months (“responders”) and proportion who needed “rescue” therapy during the 6 months.
Results: Sixty patients (26 retrospective, 34 prospective) were included in this study. They were treated with IVIg (33), steroid (19) and PLEX (8). Baseline INCAT-ODSS score (±SD) was 7.2(2.2), 7.2(1.5) and 7.5(1.9) respectively. All received some form of oral immune suppression during follow up. Twenty one (35%) needed additional rescue therapy. There was an overall significant reduction in the mean INCAT-ODSS disability score from 7.2 to 3.1 (Mean difference 4.2; CI 3.6-4.8); p<0.01). Nearly 88% of patients (51/58) showed at least 20% improvement from baseline. Two were lost to follow up (1 IVIg, 1 steroid). There was no difference in the ODSS at 6 months [2.9(2.4), 3.5(2.7) and 2.7(1.3)] respectively. No difference in ODSS at 1 and 3 months. Proportion of responders at 6 months and proportion who needed rescue therapy were also similar.
Conclusion: Irrespective of initial therapy and maintenance oral immunosuppression used, the overall disability reduction in treatment with IVIg, steroid or PLEX is significant; however the three modalities are comparable in terms of disability reduction at 6 months. At least a third may need additional rescue therapy.

Background: The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of uric acid on hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) in young and middle-aged hypertensive patients at high altitude.
Methods: High-altitude and low-altitude HICH patients were analyzed retrospectively, and the influence of uric acid on hemorrhage was analyzed by the correlations between age and uric acid, between age and hemoglobin, and between uric acid and hemoglobin. The individuals in the high- and low-altitude groups were assigned to a young/middle-aged group and an elderly group, and the correlation between age and uric acid was analyzed. The risk factors for HICH were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. ROC curve analysis was used to investigate the relationship between risk factors and cerebral hemorrhage.
Results: Age was negatively correlated with uric acid concentration in patients with HICH at high altitudes but not in patients with HICH at low altitudes. In addition, age was negatively correlated with hemoglobin in patients with HICH at high altitudes but not in patients with HICH at low altitudes. Uric acid was negatively correlated with age in young and middle-aged adults at high altitudes but not in elderly individuals. Diastolic pressure, uric acid and sex were risk factors for HICH in young and middle-aged adults at high altitudes. ROC curve showed that uric acid and diastolic pressure had diagnostic significance.
Conclusions: High levels of uric acid is correlated with increased risk of cerebral hemorrhage in young and middle-aged adults with hypertension in high altitude.

Methods: Forty children with DCP aged between 5-18 years were included. Functional classification systems: GMFCS, MACS, CFCS, EDACS levels investigated. The Dyskinesia Impairment Scale (DIS) was used for evaluate dyskinetic movements: dystonia and choreoathetosis. Assessment of Life-Habits-Questionnaire (LIFE-H) was used for evaluate participation. Spearman’s correlation test was used to evaluate the relationship among functional classification levels, DIS subscales and LIFE-H subdomains. Multivariate simple linear regression, backward model was used to explain relations between LIFE-H subdomains, DIS subscales, GMFCS, MACS, EDACS and CFCS.
Results: The mean age was 12.88±4.57 years. Correlations were found between GMFCS-MACS, GMFCS-EDACS, MACS-EDACS, CFCS-MACS, GMFCS-CFCS and EDACS-CFCS (p<0.05); between GMFCS and dystonia upper extremity, dystonia lower extremity total score, dystonia total score (p<0.05); between MACS and dystonia upper extremity, dystonia lower extremity total score, dystonia total score, and dystonia mouth total score (p<0.05). LIFE-H Social-Roles Total Score, Daily-Living-Activities Total Score, LIFE-H-Total-Score were correlated with GMFCS, MACS, EDACS and CFCS (p<0.05). The results of regression analysis showed GMFCS and MACS levels are strong predictors of participations (p<0.05).
Conclusions: To plan participatory intervention programs, it is important to understand the levels of participation and differences among children with DCP subtypes according to the ICF framework.

Dementia is a cognitive disorder that affects daily living of the individual. According to DSM V criteria, it is defined as the evidence of significant cognitive decline from a previous level of performance in one or more cognitive domains which interferes in everyday activity with no other structural, metabolic or psychiatric cause. However, during the course of dementia, 90% of patients suffer from behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). The sundowning or nocturnal delirium is a form of BPSD which can affect patients with dementia particularly those of advanced stage. Presently, there are no established guidelines for the management of symptoms of sundowning in patients with dementia and efficacy of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments are not yet established. One of the nonpharmacologic treatment is bright light therapy. We performed a systemic review of published literature on the effects of bright light therapy on sundowning in patients with dementia. We found only two randomized controlled trials utilizing the standard 10,000 lux lamp among dementia patients. Based on the two studies, bright light therapy had no significant beneficial effect on the sundowning behavior.

Joubert syndrome (JS), a rare neurodevelopmental disorder, is characterized by a unique midbrain- hindbrain malformation known as the molar tooth sign, a distinctive radiological feature. Among the myriad manifestations associated with JS, the most prevalent features encompass hypotonia, ataxia, developmental delay, intellectual disability, abnormal eye movements, and neonatal breathing abnormalities. To date, 29 genes have been identified as contributors to the development of JS. This study aimed to pinpoint a pathogenic variant in JS within an Iranian consanguineous pedigree. We employed whole-exome sequencing (WES) to pinpoint a potential pathogenic variant likely responsible for the condition in an 8-year-old male patient. The WES analysis successfully revealed a novel homozygous missense mutation (c.725A>T; p.Asn242Ile) within exon 8 (NM_153704.6) of the TMEM67 gene. Subsequent validation through Sanger sequencing confirmed the presence of the chr8-93780603A>T mutation. This study elucidated JS within an Iranian family, uncovering a new TMEM67 gene mutation through comprehensive genetic analysis. The identification of this mutation enhances our understanding of the genetic landscape of JS, contributing valuable insights for both clinical diagnosis and future research endeavors.

Published: July 2024

Image J system was used to process the different images of Ostracoda. As this system is considered one of the modern and advanced computer systems used in image processing. Image processing is one of the main branches of computer science and has developed in the current era as a result of the amazing development in computer and communication technologies. Micropaleontology is the systematic study of the morphology and classification of the microscopic fossils and their ecological, and stratigraphic importance. A microscope is the greatest tool for studying a microfossil's distinctive features because it is often tiny. Images of the Ostracoda were taken from the city of Duhok in Iraqi Kurdistan, from the Kolosh Formation, in which these species were studied and diagnosed. Seven species of ostracoda were obtained: Gujaratella sp.  ,Acanthocythereis hystrix ,  Alocopocythere gujaratensis ,  Alocopocythere sp.1, Alocopocythere fossularis  Keijella sp.1 and Sulcostocythere sp.1 The size of the original image was found and many manipulations and calculations were made, including finding the edges of the image, finding the length, height, area, perimeter and mean of the ostracoda image, and drawing the histogram of the original image. These calculations help in processing and analyzing images. This helps to shorten the time and effort of researchers in the field of geology.
