Published: March 2022

This study aims to find out the collaboration between Theory of Constraints (TOC) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) at a manufacturing company, especially that produces infusions. This is a qualitative research with interpretive approach. The collaboration between TOC and SCM is to identify on overall company constraints such as internal constraints on production process as broken machine, power outage, and ineffective production process flow, and external constraints related to suppliers and customers such as defective raw materials, delays in the delivery of raw material, and delay transportation of shipping to customer. The company overcomes the constraints by providing solutions as quickly as possible. The solutions that are provided by the company are scheduling engine maintenance, power outage schedules, providing generators, and port schedules. They may require no small cost, but customers’ satisfaction is the most important thing. The factors that influence the constraints are human, time and technical. This research also explores the social values ​​adopted by the company by donating to victims of natural disasters and donated to the employees’ family. Based on the evaluation of all the aspects, it can be concluded that company efficiency is not the basis for being judged materially.

In this research, the economic and ecological use value of Alkanna orientalis was determined. The biodiversity functions and services of the species were analysed economically by classifying the data obtained from the literature analysis. In the regulation functions, which is one of these functions, pollination value and seed dispersal, use in traditional medicine within production functions, pharmacological researches and use as raw materials have been revealed as important ecological services. Among the habitat functions, nursery services came to the fore front but among the information functions, the use value whose purpose is education and scientific research has come to the fore front. This shows that the species has a high ecological and economic use value.
Thermodynamics of the R_h = ct Universe: A Simplification of Cosmic Entropy
Authors: Melia Fulvio
Published: March 2022

In the standard model of cosmology, the Universe began its expansion with ananomalously low entropy, which then grew dramatically to much larger values consistentwith the physical conditions at decoupling, roughly 380,000 years after the Big Bang.There does not appear to be a viable explanation for this `unnatural' history, other thanvia the {\it generalized} second law of thermodynamics (GSL), in which the entropy of the bulk,$S_{\rm bulk}$, is combined with the entropy of the apparent (or gravitational) horizon,$S_{\rm h}$. This is not completely satisfactory either, however, since this approachseems to require an inexplicable equilibrium between the bulk and horizon temperatures.In this paper, we explore the thermodynamics of an alternative cosmology known as the$R_{\rm h}=ct$ universe, which has thus far been highly successful in resolving manyother problems or inconsistencies in $\Lambda$CDM. We find that $S_{\rm bulk}$ isconstant in this model, eliminating the so-called initial entropy problem simply andelegantly. The GSL may still be relevant, however, principally in selecting the arrowof time, given that $S_{\rm h}\propto t^2$ in this model.
Promoting physical activity in older adults with type 2 diabetes via an anthropomorphic conversational agent: development of an evidence and theory-based multi-behavior intervention
Authors: Pimenta Nuno , Félix Isa Brito , Monteiro Diogo , Marques Marta M , Guerreiro Mara Pereira
Published: March 2022

Introduction: Anthropomorphic conversational agents (ACA) are a promising digital tool to support self-management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), albeit little explored. There is a dearth of literature on the detailed content of these interventions, which may limit effectiveness and replication. Our aim is to describe the development of an evidence and theory-based intervention to improve physical activity in older adults with T2D, subsumed in a multi-behavior intervention via a mobile application with an ACA.Methods: Overall decisions on the multi-behavior intervention design, such as the use of standardized behavior change techniques (BCTTv1), guided the development of the physical activity component. Firstly, recommendations on ambulatory activity were used to select the target behavior (walking). Meta-research on effective BCTs was then identified. One meta-analysis linked effective BCTs with the three basic psychological needs of the self-determination theory (SDT). This meta-analysis, taken together with additional evidence on SDT, led to the selection of this theory to inform the design. BCTs were extracted from meta-research; we selected the most appropriate to be operationalised via the conversational agent through multidisciplinary discussions. Rules governing the dialogue flow and BCTs tailoring, taking the form “if some conditions hold then execute some action”, were derived based on the Basic Psychological in Exercise Scale (competence, autonomy, and relatedness scores), in conjunction with published evidence and multidisciplinary discussions.Results: Thirteen BCTs were implemented in the prototype via the ACA (e.g. goal setting behavior 1.1). Six if-then rules were derived and depicted in the dialogue steps through process flow diagrams, which map how the system functions. An example of a rule is “If competence score ≤10 then, apply BCT 1.1 with 500 steps increments as options for the daily walking goal; If competence score >10 then, apply BCT 1.1 with 1000 steps increments as options for the daily walking goal”.Conclusions: Evidence and SDT were translated into an mobile application prototype using an ACA to promote physical activity in older adults with T2D. This approach, which includes 13 BCTs and six if-then rules for their tailoring, may leverage the efforts of others in developing similar interventions.
Exploring the effect of ADHD traits on the moment-to-moment interplay between provocation and aggression: evidence from dynamic structural equation modelling
Authors: Brown Ruth , Speyer Lydia Gabriela , Eisner Manuel , Ribeaud Denis , Murray Aja Louise
Published: March 2022

The relation between ADHD symptoms and aggression has been well documented; however, the processes that account for higher levels of aggression associated with ADHD ‘in the moment’ in the course of daily life interactions have been little researched. The current study used ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to explore how ADHD traits might relate to individual differences in provocations, aggression, and the strengths of the links between provocation and aggression in the flow of daily life. We used dynamic structural equation modelling (DSEM) fit to data from the D2M study (n=254 adults aged 20; 35% male from the longitudinal z-proso study) which collected provocation and aggression data at four quasi-random time periods per day over a 14-day period. We found that individuals with higher ADHD trait levels reported higher instances of provocation and aggression, with ADHD traits significantly moderating aggression inertia such that those with higher levels of ADHD traits showed greater persistence of aggressive behaviour across time points. However, ADHD trait levels did not significantly moderate any of the observed cross-lagged effects. Our findings suggest that individuals with higher levels of ADHD traits are at greater risk of exposure to interpersonal interactions involving provocation, show higher levels of aggressive behaviour in daily life, and find it more difficult to reduce their aggression once triggered. These findings support the importance of targeting factors such as social skills and emotion regulation that may underpin the increased difficulties in interpersonal interactions often experienced by individuals with high levels of ADHD symptoms.
Patterns in CAOSS: Distributed representations predict variation in relational interpretations for familiar and novel compound words
Authors: Guenther Fritz , Marelli Marco
Published: March 2022

While distributional semantic models that represent word meanings as high-dimensional vectors induced from large text corpora have been shown to successfully predict human behavior across a wide range of tasks, they have also received criticism from different directions. These include concerns over their interpretability (how can numbers specifying abstract, latent dimensions represent meaning?) and their ability to capture variation in meaning (how can a single vector representation capture multiple different interpretations for the same expression?). Here, we demonstrate that semantic vectors can indeed rise up to these challenges, by training a mapping system (a simple linear regression) that predicts inter-individual variation in relational interpretations for compounds such as "wood brush" (for example "brush FOR wood", or "brush MADE OF wood") from (compositional) semantic vectors representing the meanings of these compounds. These predictions consistently beat different random baselines, both for familiar compounds ("moon light", Experiment 1) as well as novel compounds ("wood brush", Experiment 2), demonstrating that distributional semantic vectors encode variations in qualitative interpretations that can be decoded using techniques as simple as linear regression.

Published: March 2022

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the major risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD). Accordingly, in this study, attempt is to be made to assess the association of severity of CAD by angiography with fasting blood sugar (FBS) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c).
Aims and Objectives: To evaluate coronary angiographic abnormalities in patients of Diabetes.
Materials and Methods: Six hundred adult patients of both sexes admitted in the department of cardiology, Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata with ischemic heart disease from June 2018 to February 2020 underwent FBS and glycosylated Hb besides other routine tests. Coronary angiography done and the severity of CAD was assessed by SYNTAX SCORE was correlated. It is an observational, Cross-sectional hospital-based single center study.
Results: Syntax scores were highest in the body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 group (16.5). Patients with Syntax score ≥33 are found to have much higher values of HbA1c (6.8±1.3) compared to those with Syntax score of ≤22 (6.4±1.8). Fasting blood glucose level in Syntax score ≥33 group has been found to be significantly higher compared to the group of Syntax score ≤22.
Conclusion: Patients having DM and/or metabolic syndrome are found to have more severe form of CAD than those who don’t have either of these.

Published: March 2022

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD), also known as sickle cell anemia, is a dangerous disease in which the body produces an abnormal form of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that transport oxygen throughout the body. The body produces sickle- or crescent-shaped red blood cells as a result of this genetic change.
Aims and Objectives: This study aims to study on HemoTypeSC™ test for the rapid screening of SCD patients in Government Medical College and Hospital, Ambikapur.
Materials and Methods: Fifty patients have been diagnosed as sickle cell anemia by sickle cell solubility test at Govt. Medical College, Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh,India. All the patients were admitted in the Department of Medicine at Govt. Medical College, Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh,India, from April 1, 2021, to June 1, 2021.
Results: The study group (HbSS patients) comprised 22 (42%) males and 28(58%) females.The ages ranged from 1 to 45 years; these 50 patients have been diagnosed as sickle cell anemia by sickle cell solubility test positive at Govt.Medical College, Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh,India.
Conclusion: Sickle cell illness can be counted and observed in a variety of ways. Experience includes things such as electrophoresis and hand counting. HemoTypeSC™ is a blood test kit that determines hemoglobin type in whole blood in a short amount of time. At the point of care, this test detects the hemoglobin phenotype HbAA (normal), HbSS and HbSC (SCD), HbCC (hemoglobin C illness), and HbAS and HbAC (carrier or trait). Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific and sensitive to hemoglobin’s A, S, and C. The fetal hemoglobin has no effect. There are no liquid buffer components or requirements for refrigeration. In high temperatures, it remains stable and the test takes only 10 min to complete.

Results: Majority of the patients of Group TEP (25 patients) had complications as Conversion to trans abdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) 4 (16.0%) and proceed surgery without veress needle decompression 2 (8.0%). In Group eTEP (25 patients) majority of patients had complications as proceed surgery without veress needle decompression 8 (32%) followed by Seroma 2 (8.0%). No recurrences seen in either groups. Mean operative time of eTEP was less as compared to TEP.
Conclusion: With TEP, complications such as SSI, hematoma, and conversion to TAPP are more common; however with eTEP, proceed surgery without veress needle decompression and seroma. Considering the average operative time of eTEP and TEP, as well as the bigger defect size that eTEP can readily handle. For new surgeons, eTEP is a more straightforward procedure. Moreover, our study findings showed that e-TEP mesh repair of inguinal hernia showed more firm and efficacious results than TEP repair. We suggest that long-term randomized control trials with enhanced sample size and reduced confounding factors are still required to establish the absolute superiority of e-TEP over TEP.

Background: Smoking has various deleterious effects and peri-operative complications. Pulmonary complications following abdominal surgery are frequent and associated with increased morbidity and mortality and length of hospital stay.
Aims and Objectives: Hence, this study was done to observe the incidence of various respiratory and cardiovascular complications in the perioperative period in patients undergoing elective open upper abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia among smokers versus non-smokers. The various complications which are studied are as follows - Arterial desaturation, Severe coughing, Laryngospasm, Bronchospasm, Recurrent apnea, Variations in Mean Arterial Blood Pressure and Heart rates.
Materials and Methods: Male patients ASA-I, II or III, aged 20–60 years undergoing elective open upper abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia were selected. They were divided into two groups (during pre-anaesthetic checkup) - smokers (>10 cigarette/day for the past 1 year and continued smoking till admission), non-smokers (who never smoked). General anaesthesia was given according to standard protocol.
Results: The smokers had higher incidence of laryngospasm as well as bronchospasm but they were not statistically significant. Smokers had low baseline SpO2; greater fall in SpO2 just after extubation, before sending to PACU and on day 1 which were statistically significant. Smokers had raised MAP just after extubation, on day 1 and day 2 which were statistically significant.
Conclusion: Smokers had increased incidences of respiratory and hemodynamic complications than non-smokers.

Para pelajar terkadang menggunakan aplikasi yang terkadang kurang membantu mereka dalam melakukan pembelajaran daring. Seperti sinyal tidak kuat, aplikasi tidak cocok dengan spesifikasi perangkat, dan masih banyak lainnya. Para pelajar sering kesulitan berdiskusi atau bertanya lebih lama pada saat pembelajaran masa kini. Dari permasalahan tersebut, diperlukan pengenalan dan pelatihan menggunakan Ms. Teams dalam pembelajaran masa kini agar suasana belajar menjadi aktif dan menyenangkan.

Bermain: Perspektif Tentang Pengalaman Bermain Guru PAUD dan Praktik Bermain Pada Pembelajaran di PAUD
Authors: Hardiyanti Dwi
Published: March 2022

Studi deskriptif ini dibingkai dalam iklim akademik saat ini di mana bermain telah berkurang di ruang kelas anak usia dini (Falk, 2012; Hirsh-Pasek, Golinkoff, Berk & Singer, 2009; Miller & Almon, 2009). Bermain di pembelajaran juga harus dipahami bukan sebagai ancaman, tetapi alat untuk konten akademik dan persiapan untuk pembelajaran di masa depan. Pernyataan tersebut jika benar diterapkan maka guru, sekolah dan orangtua tidak akan merasa benar saat proses bermain itu sendiri didorong keluar dari kurikulum prasekolah karena berbagai alasan, termasuk kebutuhan untuk mempersiapkan anak-anak untuk penilaian standar (Chervenak, 2011; Drew, Christie, Johnson, Meckley & Nell, 2008). Hal lain yang perlu diingat adalah, jika guru merupakan bagian kunci dalam apa yang dianggap sebagai pengalaman bermain berkualitas untuk anak-anak (Hadley, 2002; Hirsh-Pasek, Golinkoff, Berk & Singer, 2009; Jones & Reynolds, 2011; Kontos, 1999; Korat, Bahar & Snapir, 2003), maka persepsi dan pengalaman guru dengan bermain menjadi bagian penting dari apa yang dianggap sebagai "pedagogi bermain"(Ryan & Northey-Berg, 2013, hal. 4). Pengalaman dan perspektif guru terhadap bermain yang akan memainkan peranan penting dalam menentukan keberhasilan proses pembelajaran pada AUD.
