The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic caused problems at various levels. One of its consequences is public health problems at the community level, as well as being affected by people's job performance due to the quarantine conditions and the resulting stress. This study intends to investigate the effect of mass panic caused by covid-19 on the job performance of Ministry of Health employees. The present research is a descriptive-analytical study that was conducted in 2019 in Tehran. In this study, 250 employees working in the Ministry of Health participated. Data collection tools were two demographic questionnaires and Patterson's job performance.The samples completed the questionnaires electronically on the Google Form platform. SPSS version 22 software was used for data analysis. The significance level of the data was 0.05. In total, 250 questionnaires were completed. The average age of the samples was 44.11±23.74 and their average work experience was 16.07±8.66. The findings of this study showed that collective panic caused by covid-19 had a significant effect on the indicators of social functioning. Also, based on the findings, fear caused by Corona had a negative effect on people's job performance. The variables of diploma and post-diploma education had an inverse effect on job performance in these people. It seems that due to the limited number of studies on the effect of panic caused by Corona on the social function and job performance of people in occupational groups other than the Corona treatment staff, there is a need for more investigations in this Field.

Test-retest reliability was used to establish reliability indices of the two instruments. The reliability estimates that were obtained for the Mathematics achievement test are as follows: format 0.512, for format ETD, 0.849 for DTE and 0.718 for MDI. The reliability estimates that were obtained for the English Language achievement test are as follows: 0.728 for format ETD, 0.669 for format DTE and 0.877 for format MDI. ANOVA was used to test the null hypotheses. The major finding of the study were: (1) the results showed that JSS 3 students that were exposed to Difficult to easy (DTE) format in Mathematics had the highest mean achievement scores. (2) There was a significant difference between the mean achievement scores in English language of JSS 3 students exposed to different orderings of the items in favour of DTE test item format. Based on the findings, it was recommended that English Language tests items should be ordered from the difficult ones to the easy ones since the highest academic achievement of students was recorded using this method and that Mathematics tests items should be ordered from the easy ones to the difficult ones since the highest academic achievement of students was recorded using this method.

Published: September 2023

This paper examines the concept and implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) in a banking company. GCG is a financial system with the aim of creating an economic system that benefits all parties involved. GCG implementation encourages the creation of healthy competition and a conducive business climate. Especially when GCG is implemented in the world of sharia banking, it will increasingly show the pioneering concept of Islam in realizing a sharia-based economic system. Performance appraisal of Islamic banks is very important for every bank stakeholder, namely bank management, customers, business partners and the government in a competitive financial market. The increase in the value of shares and the amount of third party funds is an indicator of increasing public trust in the bank concerned. GCG implementation is also relevant and in line with Islamic values. Good Corporate Governance (GCG) is an important principle in the activities and life of a Muslim. Islam very intensely teaches the application of the principles of 'ada (justice), tawazun (balance), akhlaq (moral), shiddiq (honesty), amanah (fulfillment of trust), fathanah (intelligence), tabligh (transparency).

Este texto tem como objetivo discutir como os estudos que operam com o conceito de numeramento no Brasil se assumem como desdobramentos da perspectiva analítica e pedagógica que Magda Soares confere ao conceito de letramento. Esses estudos focalizam pessoas pouco ou não-escolarizadas ou grupos sociais de inserção recente no projeto educacional brasileiro apropriando-se de práticas discursivas da matemática hegemônica e, nessa apropriação, demarcando seu estranhamento com conhecimentos e ritos escolares. Destacam-se na base teórica dos estudos, nas opções metodológicas, nos caminhos analíticos e nas indicações para as práticas pedagógicas, as contribuições das elaborações conceituais e das propostas didáticas de Magda e a marca de seu compromisso político com a democratização e a qualidade da Educação. Refletindo também as contribuições metodológicas da pesquisadora Magda Soares, a discussão aqui proposta é confrontada com três eventos de numeramento, em que mulheres idosas alfabetizandas na EJA, uma criança num contexto não escolar e professores indígenas em formação, protagonizando práticas matemáticas, apropriam-se de práticas de letramento.

Van evidencebased medicine naar shared decision-making bij diabetes mellitus

From evidence-based medicine to shared decision-making in diabetes mellitus

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with a worldwide prevalence of more than 450 million people. It is estimated that only 14.3% of this population achieves the targets with regard to HbA1c, blood pressure and cholesterol levels. DM prevention and management are getting more and more attention. Thanks to shared decision-making (SDM), the patient’s personal context can be identified and therapy can be adjusted if needed. Currently, there is little guidance for physicians on how they should implement SDM in practice. Healthcare organizations can play a role in providing education to support the use of SDM. Various barriers such as time pressure, paternalism and ignorance hamper the use of SDM. New technologies are making it increasingly easy to exchange information between doctors and patients in a patient-friendly manner. Given the actual increase of patient participation in practice, SDM will become increasingly important. From an ethical point of view, patient education is necessary in order to achieve complete autonomy of the patient and to enable SDM. The diabetes educator plays an important role to achieve this, complemented by the use of technological tools that become more and more available such as apps, web-based applications, continuous glucose monitoring, etc. SDM has the opportunity to combine an ethical approach with scientific evidence and consequently transforming care in making the best decision for each patient.

Published: September 2023

The potential of the Kebonsari creative tourism area is very prospective, namely the use of local characteristics, namely the potential for laying duck farming in Kebonsari Village, Candi District, Sidoarjo Regency, has decreased. 67,500 eggs per day reduced to 27 farmers. From 2016 to 2021 the average productivity is 700 eggs per day. This decrease was triggered by changes in land use from rice fields to settlements and the construction of the outer ring road of Sidoarjo east. The purpose of the Community Service program in Duck Village, Candi Sidoarjo is the development of village entrepreneurs for duck and salted egg farming based on cooperatives and digital markets. For entrepreneurial intervention activities, the Development of Cooperative-Based Duck and Salted Egg Livestock Entrepreneurs and Digital Markets in Duck Village, Candi Sidoarjo, is divided into several activities as follows: 1) Growing joint business patterns in the village through cooperative institutions.. 2) Pioneering market access for village businesses wider. 3) Market access is sought to be able to pioneer services for the needs of local communities, neighboring villages, sub-district markets, districts and supply certain special needs such as factories. 4) Pioneering digital market and live market. The digital market is a pattern according to technological developments that is important for business actors to access. Business development will be greatly helped by the digital market network. Digital market pioneering is a must to seize a very open market niche. The results of the Community Service program that have been achieved include 1, business legality for MSEs that do not yet have a business license 2. E-commerce for salted egg MSEs 3.

Effect of Scaling the Electrostatic Interactions on the Free Energy of Transfer of Azurin from Water to Lipid Membrane Determined by Coarse-Grained Simulations
Authors: Fitrasari Dian , Purqon Acep , Suprijadi Suprijadi
Published: September 2023

Azurin protein potentially plays an important role as an anti-cancer therapeutic agent, particularly in treating breast cancer in experiments and showing without having a negative effect on normal cells. Although the interaction mechanism between protein and lipid membrane is complicated, it can be modeled as protein-lipid interaction. Since the all-atom (AA) model simulation is cost computing, we apply a coarse-grained (CG-MARTINI) model to calculate the protein-lipid interaction. We investigate the binding free energy value dependency by varying the windows separation and electrostatic scale parameters. After scaling the electrostatic interactions by a factor of 0.04, the best result in terms of free energy is -140.831 kcal/mol, while after window-separation optimization, it reaches -71.859 kcal/mol. This scaling was necessary because the structures from the CG MARTINI model have a higher density than the corresponding all-atom structures. We thus postulate that electrostatic interactions should be scaled down in this case of CG-MARTINI simulations.

The increasing demand for livestock and poultry feeds results in the lack of fish meals (FM). Poultry slaughterhouse by-product (PSB) is one promising strategy due to its high protein content despite the limited content of lysine. Thus, supplementing lysine in dietary fish feed is necessary. The present study aimed to investigate how different lysine doses in feed with PSB and FM as animal protein sources affected protein digestibility, feed utilization, growth, hematology, and body composition of Sangkuriang catfish (Clarias gariepinus var. Sangkuriang). Sangkuriang catfish at the grow-out stage (15.54±0.17 g/fish) were used. The fish were fed six experimental diets with similar protein and energy content but different lysine levels at 1.25%, 1.75%, 2.25%, 2.75%, 3.25%, and 3.75%/kg (treatments 1 to 6). The addition of lysine to feed had a significant (P<0.05) effect on protein digestibility (ADCp), efficiency of feed utilization (EFU), and relative growth rate (RGR) of Sangkuriang catfish at a grow-out stage but had no significant (P>0.05) effect on survival rate, hematology, and nutrient content. The optimal doses of dietary lysine with PSB and FM to improve ADCp, EFU, and RGR of Sangkuriang catfish were 2.59%, 2.63%, and 2.62%/kg diet, respectively. However, the supplementation of PSB in experimental diets had no significant effect on glucose, triglyceride, total protein, urea, calcium, magnesium, albumin, globulin, hemoglobin, hematocrit, phosphorous, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The lysine addition in feed formulated with PSB and FM could improve the growth performance and increase the feed digestibility of Sangkuriang catfish at the grow-out stage.

Smart hydroponic systems have been introduced to allow farmers to monitor their hydroponic system conditions anywhere and anytime using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Several sensors are installed on the system, such as Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), nutrient level, and temperature sensors. These sensors must be calibrated to ensure correct and accurate readings. Currently, calibration of a TDS sensor is only possible at one or a very small range of TDS values due to the very limited measurement range of the sensor. Because of this, we propose a TDS sensor calibration method called Sectioned-Polynomial Regression (Sec-PR). The main aim is to extend the measurement range of the TDS sensor and still provide a good accuracy of the sensor reading. Sec-PR computes the polynomial regression line that fits into the TDS sensor values. Then, it divides the regression line into several sections. Sec-PR calculates the average ratio between the polynomial regressed TDS sensor values and the TDS meter in each section. These average ratio values map the TDS sensor reading to the TDS meter. The performance of Sec-PR was determined using mathematical analysis and verified using experiments. The finding shows that Sec-PR provides a good calibration accuracy of about 91% when compared to the uncalibrated TDS sensor reading of just 78% with Mean Average Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) equal to 59.36 and 93.69 respectively. Sec-PR provides a comparable performance with Machine Learning and Multilayer Perception method.

The parameters that determine the removal of moisture content have become necessary in seaweed research as they can reduce cost and improve the quality and quantity of the seaweed. During the seaweed’s drying process, many drying parameters are involved, so it is hard to find a model that can determine the drying parameters. This study compares seaweed big data performance using machine learning algorithms. To achieve the objectives, four machine learning algorithms, such as bagging, boosting, support vector machine, and random forest, were used to determine the significant parameters from the data obtained from v-GHSD (v-Groove Hybrid Solar Drier). The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and coefficient of determination (R2) were used to assess the model. The importance of variable selection cannot be overstated in big data due to the large number of variables and parameters that exceed the number of observations. It will reduce the complexity of the model, avoid the curse of dimensionality, reduce cost, remove irrelevant variables, and increase precision. A total of 435 drying parameters determined the moisture content removal, and each algorithm was used to select 15, 25, 35 and 45 significant parameters. The MAPE and R-Square for the 45 highest variable importance for random forest are 2.13 and 0.9732, respectively. It performed best, with the lowest error and the highest R-square. These results show that random forest is the best algorithm to decide the vital drying parameters for removing moisture content.

In this research, a new application has been developed for games by using the generalization of the separation axioms in topology, in particular regular, Sg-regular and SSg- regular spaces. The games under study consist of two players and the victory of the second player depends on the strategy and choice of the first player. Many regularity, Sg, SSg regularity theorems have been proven using this type of game, and many results and illustrative examples have been presented.

A semimodule T is named ss-supplemented if all subsemimodule N of T have supplement L in T such that N ∩ L is semisimple. T is named strongly local if Rad(T) is semisimple and T is local. It is shown that every strongly local semimodule is amply ss-supplemented. If T is an ss-supplemented p-projective subtractive semimodule, at that time T is amply ss-supplemented.

The vast majority of Lesotho’s rural population is reliant on agriculture for survival. However, Lesotho, Southern Africa is extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change, which has a negative impact on rural livelihoods. Furthermore, despite the fiscal challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Lesotho’s National Climate Change Policy Implementation Strategy has been hampered by implementation issues and has yet to be implemented. This sparked the necessity for this research, which aims to inform the government of Lesotho on how farmers are combating climate change in their own tiny way. This study employs a survey to gather data from 200 farmers from farming villages across the country’s 10 regions. According to the findings of this study, farmers have experienced climate change in the areas of drying rivers, delayed on-set of rainfall, and excessive frost or cold. As a result of these events, farmers have experienced poorer agricultural yields, increased insect and disease attacks, and lower-than-normal harvests. The adaptation methods the farmers are using include the employment of indigenous technology for pest and disease control, fruit tree planting, conservation agriculture (water and soil conservation), and rainwater harvest storage for use during dry seasons. Some of these adaptation strategies are feared to cause further environmental challenges for Lesotho. Therefore, in order to enhance the lives of Lesotho’s farmers, the government of Lesotho should consider implementing the National Climate Change Policy Implementation Strategy.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has amplified concerns about gender equity, access to health services, and extractive rather than regenerative systems. In the spring and fall of 2020, a two-phase exploratory survey was conducted to inquire about people’s desires for the future and reflections on the pandemic. Respondents to the survey, more than two-thirds of whom were women, and more than 85 percent having earned a bachelor’s degree or higher, reported feelings of isolation and intensification in remote work, stress in caring for children restricted to their homes while attending virtual schooling, and societal inequities in the health system. The survey also identified that respondents expressed great resilience and optimism about the future. There is a window of opportunity for change after a disaster takes place, and respondents hope to take advantage of this time to emerge from the pandemic in a position to not only survive but flourish. This article describes the results of the surveys and makes recommendations for using this window of opportunity to address the concerns of access to healthcare and gender equity to build a more sustainable world.
