This study aims to provide an overview of service quality, student satisfaction, and student loyalty among students at Vocational High School (SMK) Negeri 1 Soreang. Additionally, it seeks to determine the direct and indirect effects of service quality on student satisfaction and loyalty, as well as analyze the impact of student satisfaction on student loyalty. The research method used in this study is a causal associative approach, which examines the relationship between variables that have a causal connection. The sampling technique applied is non-probability sampling, specifically purposive sampling. The unit of analysis is the students of SMKN 1 Soreang, Bandung Regency, with a sample size of 56 students. The results indicate that service quality, student satisfaction, and student loyalty at SMK Negeri 1 Soreang are in good, satisfactory, and loyal conditions, respectively. Moreover, service quality has a positive and significant effect on both student satisfaction and loyalty. Similarly, student satisfaction positively and significantly influences student loyalty.Since both service quality and student satisfaction impact loyalty, it was found that student satisfaction has a more dominant influence. Therefore, enhancing student satisfaction should be the top priority in improving student loyalty. It is recommended that SMKN 1 Soreang focuses on increasing the sense of satisfaction among its students by delivering high-quality services, thereby fostering greater loyalty to the school.
The GD-1 Stellar Stream Perturber as a Core-collapsed Self-interacting Dark Matter Halo
Authors: Zhang Xingyu , Yu Hai-Bo , Yang Daneng , Nadler Ethan O.
Published: January 2025

The GD-1 stellar stream exhibits spur and gap structures that may result from a close encounter with a dense substructure. When interpreted as a dark matter subhalo, the perturber is denser than predicted in the standard cold dark matter (CDM) model. In self-interacting dark matter (SIDM), however, a halo could evolve into a phase of gravothermal collapse, resulting in a higher central density than its CDM counterpart. We conduct high-resolution controlled N-body simulations to show that a collapsed SIDM halo could account for the GD-1 perturber's high density. We model a progenitor halo with a mass of 3 × 108

, the enclosed mass of the SIDM halo within the inner 10 pc can be increased by more than 1 order of magnitude compared to its CDM counterpart, leading to a good agreement with the properties of the GD-1 perturber. Our findings indicate that stellar streams provide a novel probe into the self-interacting nature of dark matter.
Higher order Weighted Random k Satisfiability ($k = 1, 3$) in Discrete Hopfield Neural Network

Published: January 2025

Researchers have explored various non-systematic satisfiability approaches to enhance the interpretability of Discrete Hopfield Neural Networks. A flexible framework for non-systematic satisfiability has been developed to investigate diverse logical structures across dimensions and has improved the lack of neuron variation. However, the logic phase of this approach tends to overlook the distribution and characteristics of literal states, and the ratio of negative literals has not been mentioned with higher-order clauses. In this paper, we propose a new non-systematic logic named Weighted Random $k$ Satisfiability ($k = 1, 3$), which implements the ratio of negative literals in higher-order clauses. The proposed logic, integrated into the Discrete Hopfield Neural Network, established a logical structure by incorporating the ratio of negative literals during the logic phase. This enhancement increased the network's storage capacity, improving its ability to handle complex, high-dimensional problems. The advanced logic was evaluated in the learning phase by various metrics. When the values of the ratio were $r = 0.2$, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8, the logic demonstrated the potential for better performances and smaller errors. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed logical structure demonstrated a positive impact on the management of synaptic weights. The results indicated that the optimal global minimum solutions are achieved when the ratio of negative literals was set to $r = 0.8$. Compared to the state-of-the-art logical structures, this novel approach has a more significant impact on achieving global minimum solutions, particularly in terms of the ratio of negative literals.

Authors: Alshehry Azzh Saad , Yasmin Humaira , Mahnashi Ali M.
Published: January 2025

This study presented a comprehensive analysis of nonlinear fractional systems governed by the advection-dispersion equations (ADE), utilizing the Mohand transform iterative method (MTIM) and the Mohand residual power series method (MRPSM). By incorporating the Caputo fractional derivative, we enhanced the modeling capability for fractional-order differential equations, accounting for nonlocal effects and memory in the systems dynamics. We demonstrated that both MTIM and MRPSM were effective for solving fractional ADEs, providing accurate numerical solutions that were validated against exact results. The steady-state solutions, complemented by graphical representations, highlighted the behavior of the system for varying fractional orders and showcased the flexibility and robustness of the methods. These findings contributed significantly to the field of computational physics, offering powerful tools for tackling complex fractional-order systems and advancing research in related fields.
Traveling waves in a free boundary problem for the spread of ecosystem engineers
Authors: Basiri Maryam , Lutscher Frithjof , Moameni Abbas
Published: January 2025

Reaction-diffusion equations are a trusted modeling framework for the dynamics of biological populations in space and time, and their traveling wave solutions are interpreted as the density of an invasive species that spreads at constant speed. Even though certain species can significantly alter their abiotic environment for their benefit, and even though some of these so-called "ecosystem engineers" are among the most destructive invasive species, most models neglect this feedback. Here, we extended earlier work that studied traveling waves of ecosystem engineers with a logistic growth function to study the existence of traveling waves in the presence of a strong Allee effect. Our model consisted of suitable and unsuitable habitat, each a semi-infinite interval, separated by a moving interface. The speed of this boundary depended on the engineering activity of the species. On each of the intervals, we had a reaction–diffusion equation for the population density, and at the interface, we had matching conditions for density and flux. We used phase-plane analysis to detect and classify several qualitatively different types of traveling waves, most of which have previously not been described. We gave conditions for their existence for different biological scenarios of how individuals alter their abiotic environment. As an intermediate step, we studied the existence of traveling waves in a so-called "moving habitat model", which can be interpreted as a model for the effects of climate change on the spatial dynamics of populations.
The Realization and Limitations of “Filial Piety Ethics” in Robotic Caregiving
Authors: Sun Anyang , Li Haoyu
Published: January 2025

The three levels of “shallow care,” “deep care,” and “good care” in robotic caregiving largely correspond to the concepts of “supporting parents,” “pleasing parents,” and “respecting parents” in traditional Chinese filial piety ethics, enabling the application of caregiving robots within the context of Chinese filial culture. However, in the practical application of caregiving robots, there are issues such as ambiguity in defining the moral responsibility of the caregiving subject, the illusory nature of the emotional relationship between humans and robots, objectification of the elderly, and challenges faced by traditional Chinese parent-child relationships. Therefore, the role of caregiving robots should be carefully evaluated. They should not be seen as replacements for children but as tools to assist children in fulfilling their filial duties when caring for elderly parents.
Optimizing Milk Pasteurization Diagnosis Through Deep Q-Networks and Digital Twin Technology
Authors: Kadri Ouahab , Abdelhadi Adel
Published: January 2025

Industrial diagnostic systems play an important role in food manufacturing by ensuring rapid detection of defective components and precise identification of systemic dysfunction. This article proposes a diagnostic model for the pasteurization process to enhance dairy production systems. The authors found that, when a breakdown occurs, the acquisition system stops providing necessary data for diagnostics. To solve this problem, the authors used digital twin (DT) engineering to generate missing values and build a learning model based on reinforcement learning (RL). The effectiveness of this approach was validated through implementation at Aures Batna Dairy, a prominent player in Algeria's dairy industry. Experiments demonstrated the superior efficiency of this method; its precision surpassed that of traditional data imputation techniques by a significant margin.

Authors: Sharma Anil , Dixit Sunil , Sharma Mohit , Suthar Jai Kishan , Mittal Sourabh
Published: January 2025

Introduction:

In recent years, minimally invasive mitral valve surgery has become a standard procedure all over the world. A simplified and reproducible technique for performing mitral valve surgery through a right minithoracotomy with central aortocaval cannulation from the same incision, utilizing conventional instruments, has been developed. This innovative approach eliminates the requirement for endoscopic assistance, femoral arterial cannulation, and associated complications. This study aims to analyze the outcomes of patients who underwent minimally invasive mitral valve replacements (MVRs) with central cannulation between January 2016 and June 2018.

Methods:

To conduct this analysis, preoperative variables, intraoperative data, and postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing minimally invasive MVRs were prospectively collected in our database from January 2016 to June 2018.

Results:

A total of 350 patients underwent minimally invasive MVR surgery, with a mean age of 33.40 ± 10.89 years. Among them, 9.4% underwent concomitant procedures, such as tricuspid valve surgery and atrial septal defect closure. The mean cardiopulmonary bypass and cross-clamp times were 54.45 ± 4.95 min and 36.85 ± 4.39 min, respectively. Conversion to sternotomy was required in none of the patients. Major morbidities included stroke (n = 1; 0.29%) and new-onset dialysis requirement (n = 3; 0.85%). The mean blood transfusion requirement was 0.15 ± 0.27 units. The mean intensive care unit stay was 2.13 ± 0.32 days, and the hospital stay was 5.36 ± 1.12 days.

Conclusions:

This study represents a valuable option in MVR surgery. Thoracotomy MVR is a safe and reproducible technique with excellent cosmesis.

Published: January 2025

Introduction:

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in Qatar has not been well characterized in the outpatient setting.

Objective:

To describe the characteristics of patients with HFrEF who had improvement in their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and independent predictors of improvement.

Methods:

This retrospective cohort study conducted at the advanced heart failure (HF) clinic in Qatar recruited patients who visited the clinic between January 2017 and December 2018. Adult patients were eligible if they were diagnosed with HFrEF (LVEF < 40%) and had two echocardiograms separated by at least 6 months.

Results:

Of 582 eligible patients, 161 (27.7%) had improved LVEF. They were younger (53.4 vs. 57.3 years, P = 0.002) and had shorter duration of HF diagnosis (4.3 vs. 5.6 years, P = 0.001). They experienced lower rates of all-cause hospitalization (20.5% vs. 38.0%, P = 0.001) and emergency department visits (25.5% vs. 35.9%, P = 0.001), without a difference in hospital mortality rate, than those without LVEF improvement. Decreased odds ratio of improved LVEF was associated with per year increase in age (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.98, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.97–0.99, P = 0.03), presence of left bundle branch block (aOR: 0.40, 95% CI: 0.20–0.80, P = 0.001), duration of HF diagnosis (aOR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.78–0.94, P = 0.001), and ischemic HF etiology (aOR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.30–0.77, P = 0.001; compared with dilated etiology). Beta-blocker therapy was associated with higher odds of LVEF improvement (aOR: 2.65, 95% CI: 1.02–6.88, P = 0.001).

Conclusion:

Patients with HFrEF with improved LVEF were younger, had a nonischemic cardiomyopathy, and had significantly fewer hospitalizations and emergency department visits.

Randomised controlled trials of dual antiplatelet therapy versus aspirin in patients with stroke or transient ischaemic attack: an updated meta-analysis
Authors: Raza Muhammad Basil , Akhtar Ali , Khan Maham
Published: January 2025

Introduction:

We explored the efficacy and safety of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for individuals diagnosed with stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA), incorporating the latest insights from randomised controlled trials (RCTs). The emerging evidence surrounding DAPT in stroke and TIA plays a pivotal role in guiding clinical decisions.

Methods:

Our study included five RCTs (INSPIRES, THALES, POINT, CHANCE, FASTER) on DAPT (aspirin + P2Y12 inhibitor) initiated within 72 hours of acute stroke or TIA, which evaluated DAPT efficacy and safety over 21–90 days, focusing on new strokes and major bleeding. Secondary outcomes included cardiovascular events and recurrent strokes. Pooled odds ratios (OR) were computed using a random effects model.

Results:

The five RCTs involved 27,559 patients. Our analysis showed that DAPT significantly reduced stroke recurrence (OR 0.75; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.68–0.82; P <0.001, I2 = 0%) but increased major bleeding risk (OR 2.20; 95% CI 1.38–3.51, P = 0.0009, I2 = 30%). It lowered major adverse cardiovascular events (OR 0.76; 95% CI 0.67–0.85, P < 0.001, I2 = 5%) and recurrent ischaemic events (OR 0.73; 95% CI 0.66–0.80, P < 0.001, I2 = 0%), but raised haemorrhagic stroke risk (OR 2.09; 95% CI 1.14–3.84, P = 0.02, I2 = 8%).

Conclusion:

Dual antiplatelet therapy — a combination of aspirin with either ticagrelor or clopidogrel — initated within 72 hours of a high-risk TIA or mild moderate ischaemic stroke is superior to aspirin alone in reducing the risk of recurrent stroke. However, DAPT comes with a higher risk of major bleeding.

Authors: Labigalini Marcio Roberto , Barreto Gilmar
Published: January 2025

The goal of this research is to better understand the methodologies for manufacturing biodiesel worldwide and the main raw materials used in its production. We aim to compare the solutions established by relevant countries with those used in Brazil, identifying their advantages and disadvantages. Our primary areas of interest include the United States, Indonesia, and Europe, where we will analyze the solutions and, whenever possible, understand the commercial and political interests involved. We will highlight aspects related to sustainability in the production, transportation, and use of biodiesel. The methodology is based on research from recent publications and news, organized into graphs to facilitate analysis and comparison. Next, we will also examine the consequences of the solutions adopted in Brazil, envisioning future scenarios and recommended paths. In the short term, biodiesel is expected to be replaced by renewable diesel (also known as green diesel in some regions, including Brazil), which can also be produced from biomass. Ethanol is likely to be a global solution in the short to medium term, with hydrogen expected to take the lead in providing renewable energy. In the long term, around 2050, the use of fossil fuels for power generation should be significantly reduced, and technologies for energy storage, along with clean, renewable, and sustainable energy sources, should prevail.

Pedagogical Competence of Christian Teachers as Facilitators in the Process of Developing 21st Century Thinking Skills
Authors: Hutauruk Kristian , Irawati Wahyu
Published: January 2025

In the 21st century, national education required to reformulate its learning system to optimally meet the demands of students' thinking skills. However, assessments of Indonesian students' abilities in mathematics, science, literacy, and numeracy remained relatively low. To address this gap, students required teachers with strong pedagogical competence to help them improve their 21st-century thinking skills. This research aimed to examine the role of Christian teachers as facilitators in developing such skills. Their pedagogical responsibilities included guiding students toward learning that met student’s thinking needs, implementing problem-based learning, integrating technology in line with Christian values, and providing constructive feedback on students' thinking development. Christian teachers also needed to recognize sin as a human reality and understand the restoration of human's relationship with God through redemption, ensuring that educational practices remained untainted by secular postmodern philosophies. The author suggested that problem-based learning methods be explored to help students cultivate the thinking skills essential for the 21st century.
Reinterpreting the Ngembah Manuk Mbur Tradition as a Foundation for Child-Friendly Education in the Context of Karo Community
Authors: Br Sembiring Maria Sinta , Hattu Justitia Vox Dei
Published: January 2025

Attention given to children from the womb plays a vital role in supporting their physical and character development. The Karo tribe has a seven-month pregnancy tradition called ngembah manuk mbur, which aims to provide care and attention to pregnant mothers and their unborn children. However, this tradition remains limited in terms of fulfilling the rights of unborn children. Therefore, this study aims to reinterpret such tradition in the light of a biblical-theological context and within the framework of a Child-Friendly Church that it can serve as a foundation for child-friendly Christian education in the context of Karo community. The study employs a qualitative method with a literature review to explore the concept of the ngembah manuk mbur tradition and the concept of a Child-Friendly Church. These concepts serve as analytical tools to examine the implementation of such tradition. The findings indicate that reconstructing the tradition based on biblical-pedagogical principles and within the framework of a Child-Friendly Church can transform it into a foundation for child-friendly education within the Karo community. Traditionally, ngembah manuk mbur is conducted to strengthen pregnant mothers and is only performed for first-born children. This study proposes three key reconstructions of the tradition: it should be performed for all children, it should be carried out throughout the mother's pregnancy, and it should serve as a way for all family members to welcome the child into the family.

Published: January 2025

Due to the geological formation of Bangladesh, it is showing the threat of earthquakes. As the number of high-rise buildings is increasing daily, there is an urgent need to design structures considering seismic loading. During earthquakes, structures are subjected to lateral displacement. Most reinforced concrete structures are designed to resist gravity loads, but they neglect the effect of lateral forces arising due to earthquakes. Shear walls are added to the building's interior as well as exterior to provide more strength and stiffness to the building. The studies have been carried out using CSI ETABS (v 16.2.1) software, and the model was developed using Finite Element Method (FEM), the model analysis was done by using Equivalent Static Analysis (ESA). The building under analysis consists of 15 floors. The building is located in Bangladesh's seismic zone – III (Bogura). After the study, various parameters like maximum lateral displacement, storey drift, storey shear, and storey stiffness were compared to find the suitable position of the shear wall.

Nutritional intervention research among night shift workers has gained significant attention due to the rising concerns about poor overeating habits in this population. While such studies hold promise for improving health outcomes, they also raise important ethical issues that must be carefully considered. We conducted via the electronic database, Google Scholar. We selected 3 articles from the past 5 years, using the keywords: ethics, nutritional intervention, night shift worker. Articles that do not meet the keywords will be excluded from the review. Total of 3 articles as literature review. these research has a similarity, participants are prohibited from eating between 1 am 6 am. The ethical issues that may arise in these three research are respect for persons (autonomy) and beneficence (non-maleficence). Currently, nutritional interventions among night shift workers commonly involve implementing a five-hour nightly fast. The ethical issues that may arise in this research include respect for persons (autonomy) and beneficence (non-maleficence). As new studies emerge, interventions involving specific nutrients or dietary restrictions, such as carbohydrate/fat intake limitations during night shifts, may present new ethical challenges.

Authors: Purnomosari Lupi , Fathiya Dina Nurul
Published: January 2025

Premature babies have a high risk of experiencing growth retardation due to the inability of their organs to function optimally, including in absorbing nutrients. The early period of life is a critical period that requires proper nutritional management to support optimal growth and development. This study aims to provide recommendations for optimal steps for nutritional management in premature babies so that growth retardation can be avoided. The results showed that the basic principles of preterm infant nutrition management involve strategic steps to optimally meet nutritional needs. The first step is exclusive breastfeeding, which is the best source of nutrition. If breast milk is insufficient, specialized formula milk is an important alternative. Other nutritional management includes enteral and parenteral nutrition, tailored to the infant's condition. Monitoring growth and development, food tolerance and body composition are key elements to ensure the success of the intervention. Collaboration between the healthcare team, including doctors, nurses, nutritionists and parents, is essential in this process. With a careful approach and monitoring, nutritional management can address the challenges of premature infants, providing a better chance of achieving optimal health and development in the future.

Introduction: Early childhood dental caries (ECDC) is a major public health problem affecting up to 90% of children worldwide and is related to diet and nutrition.  Early childhood undernutrition, including fetal stunting, and stunting, is a global problem.  Undernutrition in neonatal stunting could be the cause associated with ECDC.  This scoping-review aims to understand the linkage mechanism behind neonatal stunting undernutrition to ECDC. This concept is expected to generate further research to help prevent both growth,   stunting undernutrition and ECDC.
Review:  This study uses the PRISMA method, with the steps: (1) Question framework (literature study); (2) Search for articles in databases (on PubMed, ProQuest, Google Scholar), and journal data bases with articles published from 2017 to 2024; (3) Selection of relevant research; (4) Data extraction; (5) Synthesis with narrative method. The study obtained 5 articles to be reviewed, proving that pregnant women who experience chronic undernutrition (mainly deficiency of protein, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, minerals Fe, Ca, P and Zn), will contribute to giving birth to undernutrition stunting neonatal, with severe ECDC in 1 article; 1 articles analyzing the strong relationship between chronic neonatal stunting undernutrition with enamel hypoplasia, low quality and rate of saliva, an important cause of ECDC; and 3 article analyzing the neonatal stunting undernutrition is associated with severe ECDC.
Conclusion:  Chronic undernutrition in pregnant women and subsequent neonatal stunting significantly contribute to the risk of severe ECDC.
Effectiveness of Milk as A Desensitizing Agent in Dentin Hypersensitivity After Nonsurgical Periodontal Treatment

Introduction: Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is the most common clinical problem after nonsurgical periodontal treatment. It is characterized by sharp pain or discomfort arising in response to thermal, chemical, or osmotic stimuli due to exposure to dentin after enamel or cementum on the root surface that is lost in periodontal treatment. This can complicate the patient's plaque control and lead to failure of periodontal treatment. This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of milk as a desensitizing agent for DH treatment after nonsurgical periodontal treatment.
Literature Review: DH is the movement of fluid within the dentinal tubules stimulating A-delta fibers resulting in localized sharp pain based on Brannstrom's Hydrodynamic Theory. Milk contains casein phosphoprotein (CPP) where the phosphosaryl sequence attaches to the amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) of teeth and forms CPP-ACP bonds so as to prevent the loss of calcium and phosphate ions and re-form apatite crystals which is a mechanism of dental desensitization. The results of Sabir and Alam's research found that gargling with milk can provide calcium and phosphate bioavailability which can help remineralize open dentin tubules so as to reduce DH. After nonsurgical periodontal treatment, milk can be used as a desensitizing agent and gargling with milk for several days effectively reduces DH quickly.  
Conclusions: The use of milk as a desensitizing agent can result in a significant decrease in DH after nonsurgical periodontal treatment. Milk is also easy to come by, cheap, works fast, and can be used at home for DH issues.

The need for orthodontic treatment in the community is inseparable from the perception of the community in choosing orthodontic treatment and operators. The purpose of this study was to determine differences in perceptions between patients who received orthodontic treatment at orthodontic specialist dentists, general dentists, and dental technician in Denpasar.
Method: This study was an observational study with a cross sectional study design with a sample of 108 respondents who received orthodontic treatment at three different operators. Respondents were given a questionnaire with closed questions to determine differences in perceptions between respondents who received orthodontic treatment at all three operators. The data obtained were then analyzed by bivariate and univariate with cross sectional approach with chi square analysis.
Results and Discussions: As many as 77.8% of respondents were female and male as many as 22.2%, dominated by respondents aged 21-25 years as many as 33.3% of respondents. Good perception of orthodontic treatment 85.2% and bad as much as 14.8%. With details as many as 36 respondents in orthodontic specialist dentists and general dentists produce good perceptions and 20 respondents in dental technician produce good perceptions, while 16 bad perceptions are found in dental technician.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Cross infection is a problem that has attracted attention in dentistry. One procedure that carries a risk of cross infection is impression taking. Impression is a major factor in the chain of spreading the infection because it will be contaminated with various oral microorganisms during the procedure. Impression  material that is often used is alginate. Alginate has imbibition properties which increase the potential for contamination. Disinfection of alginate impression by spraying sodium hypochlorite can be a solution to  prevent cross-infection effectively and efficiently. This article aims to determine the effectiveness of sodium hypochlorite as a disinfectant in alginate impressions.
Review: Sodium hypochlorite will form hypochlorous acid and release active chlorine compounds. Active chlorine is a strong oxidizing agent that will inhibit bacterial enzymes and disrupt the function of cell metabolism which causes cells or bacteria to be eliminated.
Conclusion: Sodium hypochlorite by spraying method has an effect on the amount of microorganism contamination of the oral cavity on the alginate impressions. Therefore sodium hypochlorite can be effectively used to disinfect the alginate impressions.

Introduction: Diseases or lesions of the oral mucosa are a significant aspect of oral diseases that greatly affect the patients experiencing them. Among all oral mucosal diseases, there are several conditions categorized as normal variations in the anatomical structure of the oral mucosa. Normal variations in the oral cavity are clinical presentations that are unusual. Non-pathogenic conditions, namely clinical variations in the form of uncommon organ structures with specific characteristics, fall into the category of normal and are not pathological conditions.
Material and Method: This study employed observational descriptive research to examine the presentation of normal variations in the oral mucosa of patients at the oral disease clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry, Andalas University. Univariate analysis was conducted in this research to observe the distribution of normal variations in the oral mucosa.
Results and Discussion: The number of samples in this study was 620 patient data, with the prevalence of normal variations in the oral mucosa found to include cheek biting, fordyce granule, linea alba, leukoderma, and irritation fibroma. The highest prevalence was cheek biting at 52.6%, while the lowest was irritation fibroma at 1.8%.
Conclusion: Cheek biting is the most common normal variation in the oral mucosa observed at the oral disease clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry, Andalas University.
