Preoperative visual function characteristics having an effect on the success of exotropia surgery
Authors: Бойчук Ірина , Тарак Алуі
Published: November 2023

Background: There are individual reports on the effect of some preoperative characteristics of visual functions (like convergence, angle of deviation, presence of fusion and type of binocular vision) on the success of exotropia surgery. To date, however, it has not been established what are the major diagnosis-related prognostic factors for the success of surgery for exotropia.

Purpose: To identify the preoperative characteristics of visual functions which have an effect on the success of surgery for exotropia.

Material and Methods: Of the 59 exotropes (age range, 10 to 21 years) included in this study, 33 had basic constant exotropia (group 1) and 26, intermittent exotropia (group 2). Patients underwent an ophthalmological and ortoptic examination of the motor and sensory systems of the eye. Patients with surgery success (postoperative orthotropes) were compared to those who had a residual exotropia of more than 10 prism diopters (PD) postoperatively in terms of the preoperative accommodative convergence–accommodation (AC/A) ratio, near point of convergence (NPC), distance stereopsis and near stereoacuity threshold.

Results: Our analysis of the preoperative NPC, AC/A ratio and stereopsis for the group with postoperative orthotropic alignment and the group with postoperative exotropic alignment found preoperative close to normal values of AC/A ratio (4.0 ± 1.65 PD/D), NPC (8.03 ± 3.02 cm), the presence of distance stereopsis and near stereopsis (passing the 200 second of arc image on the Lang II stereo card) and the absence of medial rectus hypofunction of hyperfunction in 83.05% of patients of the former group.

Conclusion: Preoperative close to normal values of AC/A ratio (4.0 ± 1.65 PD/D), NPC (8.03 ± 3.02 cm), the presence of distance stereopsis and near stereopsis (passing the 200 second of arc image on the Lang II stereo card) and the absence of medial rectus hypofunction of hyperfunction can be the factors favoring the success of exotropia surgery.

One big problem that needs to be fixed is the growing number of land cases. It could slow down current development projects if it is not handled properly. This research aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of HGU (Hak Guna Usaha) land disputes and property rights in Mendala Village, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, as well as identify the most appropriate and relevant alternative solutions. The research method used is qualitative research with descriptive methods. The research results show that there are various settlement models that have been proposed, but mediation appears to be the most important option. This approach has the potential to achieve a solution that benefits both parties, reduces costs, and avoids the risk of future problems. Apart from mediation, other alternative solutions such as compensation, re-determination of land boundaries, exclusion of enclaved land, or exclusion of new land are options worth considering. A company's decision to choose mediation is based on consideration of financial and time constraints that may arise in the course of litigation. Apart from that, understanding the social relations that have been established with the community is also an important factor in achieving the process of resolving disputes between the company and the community.

Authors: Orozco Peña Francis Victoria , Arvelo Custodio Fabiola de Jesús , Vargas Mata Anthony
Published: November 2023

El nevo de Spitz (NS) es una neoplasia melanocítica benigna de aparición más común en niños y jóvenes de raza caucásica. Su etiopatogenia es desconocida, pero se ha asociado a factores genéticos, hormonales, inmunológicos y ambientales. Clínicamente se manifiesta como una pápula con forma de cúpula, simétrica, bien definida, de consistencia firme, pequeño tamaño y color variable (carne, rosa, rojo o marrón) que se localiza más frecuentemente en cabeza, cuello y extremidades inferiores. Sus variantes clínicas incluyen el nevo de Reed, el NS desmoplásico, el NS polipoide, el NS verrucoso y la aparición de NS múltiples.
La amplia morfología clínica del NS y las similitudes con el melanoma hacen que el diagnóstico de esta entidad sea un desafío. La integración de hallazgos clínicos, dermatoscópicos e histopatológicos permite distinguir entre lesiones melanocíticas benignas y malignas. Los patrones dermatoscópicos más característicos del NS son el patrón de estallido de estrellas, el patrón globular con despigmentación reticular y el patrón vascular punteado. Microscópicamente, el NS clásico se observa como una lesión simétrica, bien delimitada, formada por melanocitos fusiformes dispuestos en nidos verticales en la epidermis, con presencia de cuerpos de Kamino, pigmento granular superficial y ausencia de mitosis atípicas.
El manejo del NS dependerá de las características de riesgo de lesiones spitzoides atípicas o de melanoma. Las lesiones típicas del NS pueden recibir el seguimiento clínico, mientras que aquellas que evidencien un potencial de malignidad indeterminado o alto deberán ser extirpadas quirúrgicamente.
Se presenta una revisión del nevo de Spitz con la finalidad de identificar su presentación clínica, hallazgos dermatoscópicos e histopatológicos característicos, para proporcionar al médico las herramientas necesarias para un diagnóstico y manejo adecuado que permita descartar la posibilidad de neoplasias melanocíticas malignas.

Caracterizado como esporte de alto rendimento, o tênis vive uma fase em que há um notável aumento de tenistas juvenis competitivos. Todavia, não se conhecem os fatores que contribuem para o desenvolvimento do talento na modalidade até o profissionalismo. Assim sendo, o objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar e analisar o processo de iniciação esportiva de tenistas brasileiros talentosos e os consequentes fatores que contribuíram para o alcance do profissionalismo e obter informações a respeito das atribuições ao talento “tenístico” e o início de seu destaque no circuito. Para tanto se utilizou uma amostra de cinco tenistas brasileiros profissionais, caracterizados por terem pontos na ATP (Associação dos Tenistas Profissionais). A pesquisa foi constituída através de um delineamento qualitativo, que utilizou como instrumento uma entrevista composta por quatro perguntas abertas, elaboradas para explorar o contexto de desenvolvimento do talento no tênis. Para a análise dos resultados foi utilizado o “Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo”. Ao analisar as respostas atribuídas para cada questão, pode-se observar a ausência de programas nacionais de desenvolvimento esportivo. Contudo, foi possível verificar que os clubes aparecem como microssistemas capazes de gerar um ambiente favorável para o desenvolvimento do talento no tênis. No que se diz respeito aos aspectos psicossociais, o presente estudo corrobora com a literatura, no qual fatores como o apoio da família, o gosto pela prática e a determinação dos tenistas exerceram papel fundamental no processo de desenvolvimento do tenista brasileiro talentoso.

Published: November 2023

This study attempted to utilize fluidized bed reactor for fluoride removal and CaF2 purity from the industrial wastewater including high concentration of fluoride ion. Effects of HRT, pH, Ca2+ amount and seed height were investigated through lab-scale batch and continuous experiments. Considering fluoride removal efficiently and CaF2 purity that HRT 5hr, pH6, seed height of 50 cm, [Ca2+]/[F-](mol/mol) ratio of 0.55 were found to be optimum. Correspondingly, removal fluoride was 82.5%, with a CaF2 the crystallization rate of 95.1%, respectively. The results of continuous experiment showed that with pellet as CaF2 , fluoride concentration can be stably reduced to less than 45mg/L in effluent from the influent 300mg/L on average. HR-XRD analysis showed that the crystalline structure of crystals was mainly CaF2 .
Improvement of mechanical properties of hard metals for cutting tools
Authors: Kwon Hanjung
Published: November 2023

The cutting tools used to machine metallic ingots are produced using hard metals with excellent wear resistance. These hard metals consist of hard phases (transitional metal carbides) and tough phases (metallic phases), though microstructural variables such as grain size, mean free path, and coherency in interfaces between the phases will also affect the properties of the hard metals. Accordingly, the mechanical properties of hard metals can be improved by strengthening both phases, or by adjusting various other factors that affect the microstructure and mechanical properties of the hard metals. In this paper we review the factors that have been identified as controlling the microstructure and associated properties, as well as the diverse research concerning the improvement of hard metals. We ultimately conclude that fine grains of solid-solution strengthened carbides with hard metallic phases are necessary for producing hard metals with superior mechanical properties, as is the formation of a coherent interfacial structure, as the interfacial area is relatively weaker than the grain inside.
The Political Economy of Learning in Agrarian Contention
Authors: Pahnke Anthony Robert
Published: November 2023

This article explains how an interracial alliance that promotes a radical restructuring of agriculture, featuring African American small-scale producers, farmers of Euro-American descent, Latino farmworkers, and Indigenous people, has come into existence. As I argue, this coalition formed due to changes in international political economy and within transnational activist networks. Specifically, the implementation of neoliberal international trade deals beginning in the 1970s disrupted farmers’ livelihoods in the Global North and South. It drove migrants from countries such as Mexico and Guatemala to the United States with their experiences of agrarian reform, and it saw US farmers simultaneously begin to engage farmers of color in new and important ways. The transnational activist networks that facilitated visits and meetings subsequently provided opportunities for activists to learn from one another and have new experiences, which, as I explore, led people from diverse backgrounds to agree on various principles and forge a common vision.

Amid the shift to online learning during the COVID-19 outbreak, the academic performance of students has become a concern. To address this, Adaptive Learning Systems (ALS) have emerged, these help in assessing students and delivering personalized content. This study develops an ALS incorporating K-means Clustering, Decision Tree, and Bayesian Network techniques, based on the Felder-Silverman Learning Style Model (FSLSM). The aim is to optimize learning materials based on students' current Knowledge Level (KL) and their Learning Style (LS). The students who utilized the proposed system showed substantial improvements in their performance across the Electromagnetic Spectrum, Light, Electricity, and Magnetism modules, with increases of 28.8%, 41.4%, 31.9%, and 32.9%, respectively. These findings provide strong evidence that the adaptive e-learning system had a significant positive impact on post-test scores compared to pre-test scores, surpassing the outcomes achieved with the traditional learning approach. With a silhouette score of 0.7 for K-Means clustering, an accuracy of 87.5% for Decision Tree, and a 95.1% acceptance value for the distribution of learning objects using the Bayesian Network, the proposed adaptive system demonstrated successful implementation of these machine learning algorithms. Furthermore, the proposed system received "excellent" ratings for functional stability, performance efficiency, compatibility, and reliability, with mean values of 4.49, 4.43, 4.43, 4.8, and 4.47 respectively.

In recent years, many doctors and other healthcare workers choose to work in the aesthetic beauty industry. Based on data from Statista, the beauty and body care market in Indonesia in 2021 will reach 7.46 billion USD and is expected to grow to increase to 7.25% in 2023. Therefore, it is important to identify the factors that can influence healthcare workers can work in a beauty clinic. This study used a quantitative research method by distributing questionnaires using a 5-point Likert scale. Using the SEM (Structural Equation Modelling) technique, a sample of 237 healthcare workers who worked in beauty clinics was obtained. The findings showed that HR management practices and working atmosphere positively and significantly affect job satisfaction and ultimately increase their intention to stay. Thus, job satisfaction plays a role in mediating the effect of human resource management practices on the intention to stay. This study implies that healthcare organizations should pay more attention to human resource management practices and working atmosphere to increase the job satisfaction of healthcare workers thereby influencing the intention to stay. In addition, HR management practices and an efficient work environment can improve the quality of health services and minimize treatment errors.

Published: November 2023

The use of energy which always comes from fossil fuels will eventually run out, so the development of renewable energy or alternative energy is very important to maintain petroleum reserves and as a substitute for fossil fuels which are the main energy source. One alternative energy is biomass which has not been widely used by the gasification method. The gas produced by the gasification process is utilized by burning it in a flare to get a flame. In this study, the 3D simulation method with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to determine the temperature distribution on the flare walls using CFD simulations and to compare the temperature of the flare walls from the CFD simulation results with the test results. The results of this study, the distribution of combustion occurs in the flare with a temperature of 1106°C in the upper area close to the outlet boundary. The wall temperature comparison shows that the CFD simulation tends to be similar to the test results. This shows that computational fluid dynamic simulations can be used to predict fluid flow rates and combustion reactions.

Published: November 2023

In this study, we focused on analyzing customer-generated data on Facebook to explore how textual content on a social web can provide valuable information for decision support. To accomplish this goal, we used several techniques that included social network analysis (SNA), natural language processing (NLP), data mining (DM), and machine learning (ML), integrating them with artificial intelligence approaches. Our analysis aimed to harness the information generated during the Volkswagen pollutant emissions situation in a case study that was conducted using the textual content from 10,642 posts, that represented the interactions of 25,877 users over a span of twenty-two weeks. The results demonstrated that monitoring online social networks (OSNs) can significantly enhance decision-making processes and might help to mitigate potential damages to brands/businesses. By leveraging the proposed methodological approach, a set of orientations for decision-making was extracted, providing valuable guidance for brand management and reputation protection. Overall, this study highlights the importance of analyzing textual content on OSNs and leveraging advanced computational techniques to improve decision support.

Published: November 2023

We live in an era in which the preservation of the environment is being widely discussed, driven by growing concerns over climate issues. One major factor contributing to this situation is the lack of attention societies give to maintaining high sustainability levels. Data plays a crucial role in understanding and assessing sustainability impacts in both urban and rural areas. However, obtaining comprehensive data on a country’s sustainability is challenging due to the lack of simple and accessible sources. Existing solutions for sustainability analysis are limited by high costs and implementation difficulties, which restrict their spatial coverage. In this paper, we propose a solution using low-cost hardware and open-source technologies to collect data about the movement of people and vehicles. This solution involves low-cost video-based meters that can be flexibly deployed to various locations. Specifically, we developed a prototype using Raspberry Pi and YOLO which is able to correctly classify 91% of the vehicles by type, and 100% of the events (entering of leaving). The results indicate that this system can effectively and affordably identify and count people and vehicles, allowing for its implementations namely in remote sensitive areas such as natural parks, in which the access of people and vehicles must be controlled and monitored.

Seismic Damage-Oriented Lifecycle Risk Cost Calculation for Cable-Stayed Bridge Infrastructure Using Fragility Method
Authors: Gao Qingyang , Zhao Yinghao
Published: November 2023

Cable-stayed bridges are critical components of modern transportation infrastructure, but their vulnerability to seismic events presents substantial risks to their long-term performance and safety. This paper focuses on the assessment of seismic damage in the lifecycle risk cost calculation for cable-stayed bridge infrastructure. The fragility method is utilized as a key approach to quantify seismic vulnerability and estimate associated risk costs throughout the bridge’s lifespan. Seismic fragility curves are developed by analyzing the structural response to various earthquake scenarios, providing a probabilistic representation of the bridge’s performance based on ground shaking intensity. This facilitates the evaluation of potential damage levels and their corresponding costs. The risk cost calculation encompasses direct expenses, including repair and replacement of damaged components, and employs statistical methods to estimate expected expenses. Stakeholders and decision-makers can utilize this approach to make informed choices regarding risk reduction investments, maintenance planning, and long-term sustainability considerations. A specific case study is conducted on a cable-stayed bridge, focusing on longitudinal seismic waves. The findings reveal that the main tower exhibits greater resilience compared to the tower abutment. The failure probabilities of slight, moderate, severe, and absolute damage for the main tower are determined as 9.8%, 1.1%, 0.3%, and 0.2% respectively, while the corresponding failure probabilities for the main abutment are 35.2%, 21.1%, 7.4%, and 2.9%. The maintain life cycle cost associated with seismic events for this bridge is estimated at 0.548 million USD. These results provide valuable insights for decision-making processes regarding risk reduction strategies, maintenance planning, and long-term sustainability considerations.

Tracheal tube cuffs facilitate pulmonary ventilation and protect the lower airways from aspiration, but several complications can occur, especially when this pressure exceeds 30 cm H2O. The occurrence of hyperinflation of cuffs in dogs and cats was evaluated when inflation was performed without pressure measurement. After orotracheal intubation, the anesthetist inflated the cuff with a 5 ml syringe to obtain a pressure that he considered sufficient for tracheal sealing. A pressure test was performed to assess airway leakage. Cuff pressure was measured using a syringe designed to measure cuff pressure (AG Cuffill®). It should be noted that only 16.66% of the cuffs were within the established standard range. While 75% were below the minimum value and 8.33% were above the standard value.

Kajian ini dilakukan di laboratorium hidrolika dengan menggunakan skala model alat ukur debit ambang lebar yaitu dengan mengasumsikan bahwa bilangan Froude yang terjadi pada model sama dengan bilangan Froude yang terjadi pada kondisi di lapangan. Sehingga dengan demikian skala debit, waktu, kecepatan dan volume akan dapat mewakili kondisi sesungguhnya di lapangan. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah melakukan pengujian di laboratorium hidrolika dengan memvariasikan debit mulai dari Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, …. Qn, untuk mendapatkan variasi tinggi muka air di atas mercu, di hulu dan di hilir mercu pelimpah ambang lebar, sehingga akan didapatkan hubungan antara debit aliran dengan tinggi muka air di atas mercu, di hulu dan di hilir mercu pelimpah ambang lebar. Dari hasil penelitian ini didapatkan hubungan debit dengan tinggi muka air di hulu dengan persamaan Y=0,88X 0,359, hubungan debit dengan tinggi muka air di hilir dengan persamaan Y=0,266X 0,236, hubungan debit dengan muka air di atas ambang lebar dengan persamaan Y=3,863X 0,666, dengan Y adalah debit aliran pelimpah ambang lebar dalam m3/detik dan X adalah tinggi muka air dalam m.

Dampak dari pertumbuhan penduduk adalah semakin meluasnya areal pemukiman dan semakin menyusutnya areal kebun, ladang dan persawahan. Akibat dari hal ini, sebagian besar masyarakat yang tadinya bermata pencaharian bercocok tanam berubah profesi menjadi buruh pabrik, buruh bangunan, pekerja bangunan, berjualan sembako atau yang lainnya. Hal ini sangat dirasakan oleh masyarakat Desa Pundensari, Kecamatan Purwodadi, Kabupaten Purworejo dan sekitarnya, dimana sebagian besar pada saat dahulu bekerja di sawah dan ladang sebagai petani berubah profesi sebagai pekerja bangunan yang sesuai dengan pendidikan dan keterampilannya. Pekerja bangunan mengalami kesulitan terutama dalan hal antara lain pengukuran jarak, ketinggian dan sudut horizontal maupun miring. membaca gambar kerja ditransfer ke lapangan tentang letak bangunan dan pengukuran batas lahan dan luas bidang tanah sawah atau pekarangan, batas jalan, saluran air dan sebagainya. Politeknik Negeri Semarang sangat berkepentingan untuk ikut ambil bagian dalam peningkatan kualitas tenaga kerja yang ada di wilayah Jawa Tengah. Hal ini sebagai salah satu dari Tri Darma Perguruan Tinggi, yaitu pengabdian kepada masyarakat. Permasalahan mitra yang dihadapi mengalami kendala terutama dalam pengukuran berkaitan tenaga kerja bangunan, mengingat pengukuran harus mengunakan alat ukur yang sederhana dan handal untuk menunjang hasil yang maksimal. Sehingga tim pengabdian kepada masyarakat dan mitra (bas-bas borong pekerja bangunan) memandang perlu ada kesepakatan kerja sama yang berkaitan pelatihan dalam bidang pengukuran. Solusi yang ditawarkan tim pengabdian dengan mitra adalah pelatihan pengunakan alat ukur untuk meningkatkan sumber daya dan pelatihan membuat garis lurus, sudut sembarang, menentukan titik ketinggian.

Penggunaan material komposit beton dan baja sudah umum digunakan pada berbagai elemen struktur di Indonesia. Penggunaan komposit baja dan beton dapat ditemui dalam bentuk balok T komposit dimana elemen beton digunakan pada serat tekan dan baja diletakan pada serat tarik. Penelitian ini menggunakan 3 model balok T komposit bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh pengunaan material baja dibandingkan beton sebagai sebuah elemen komposit dalam hal kekuatan, kekakuan, dan daktilitas struktur. Kajian dilakukan dengan pendekatan teoritis matematis menggunakan metode elastisitas. Hasil kajian menunjukan penggunaan baja sebagai elemen komposit baja-beton memberikan peningkatan kapasitas lentur, kekauan, dan daktilitas yang sangat signifikan bila dibandingkan dengan penggunaan beton saja. Elemen struktur berbahan beton saja dinilai tidak memberikan kekuatan yang berarti.

Beton bertulang sebagai salah satu material konstruksi memiliki berbagai keunggulan, yaitu memiliki biaya pekerjaan yang lebih hemat dibandingkan baja, keunggulan yang lain adalah mudah dibentuk sesuai keinginan tergantung bentuk dan kekuatan begestingya. Pada tahap pelaksanaan konstruksi di lapangan, sering dijumpai penyimpangan atau kesalahan yang menyebabkan kerusakan beton bertulang sehingga kekuatan yang direncanakan tidak dapat tercapai. Salah satu kerusakan karena kesalahan di lapangan adalah beton bertulang yang mengalami perubahan/pengembangan tidak sesuai dengan bekisting yang dibuat, kegagalan ini sering disebut sebagai beton bunting. Beton Bunting dapat terjadi pada elemen struktur tie beam, kolom tinggi, shear wall, balok dan pelat. Beton bunting dapat dicegah dengan metode pelaksanaan fabrikasi dan instalasi begesting yang baik yaitu yang direcanakan dan dilaksanakan sesuai standar operasi pelaksanaan yang baik. Apabila telah terjadi kerusakan beton bunting maka dilakukan metode perbaikan yang tepat yaitu dengan melakukan trimming dan paching atau grouting pada lokassi yang rusak.

Lapisan tanah yang dibebani akan mengalami penurunan (settlement). Beban yang diberikan akan didistribusikan ke dalam lapisan tanah di bawahnya dengan pola penyebaran tergantung bentuk penampang beban dan jenis tanah. Dalam praktik sering dijumpai menghitung distribusi beban dengan pola penyebaran 1V : 1H yang membentuk sudut penyebaran 45o atau dengan distribusi 2V : 1H. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui distribusi tegangan pada tanah lunak jenuh akibat beban merata lajur. Metode penelitian ini dilakukan dengan membuat model uji berupa kotak yang diisi tanah lempung lunak. Tanah yang berada dalam kotak pengujian dijaga kejenuhannya dengan memberikan air secara berkelanjutan. Tanah di bawah luasan pondasi sedalam dua kali lebar pondasi (2B) dibuat berwarna. Pondasi dengan ukuran 10 cm x 50 cm dibuat dengan rangkaian pralon diameter 16 mm (5/8”), kemudian disusun tiga lapis. Pembebanan pondasi diberikan secara bertahap yaitu 23,22; 64,04; 89,60; 118,78; 134,78 kilogram, dan dilakukan pencatatan beban dan penurunan yang terjadi. Ketika dibebani maka tanah yang berwana di bawah pondasi akan memendek dan melebar sesuai dengan beban yang didistribusikan. Tanah dipotong untuk mengetahui bentuk distribusi bebannya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa distribusi beban dengan pondasi persegi lajur adalah 2,25 Vertikal : 1 Horizontal (2,25 V : 1 H).
