Interaksi Dosen-Mahasiswa Pada Pembelajaran Daring Bahasa Jepang
Authors: Budiani Dini
Published: April 2021

Menyebarnya wabah Covid-19 di seluruh dunia menimbulkan dampak yang menyebabkan banyak universitas terpaksa mengubah sistem belajar menjadi pembelajaran daring. Namun muncul keraguan mengenai pelaksanaannya, terutama mengenai partisipasi dosen dan mahasiswa dalam pembelajaran. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis ingin mencari tahu bagaimana pelaksanaan pembelajaran daring Bahasa Jepang dilihat dari interaksi yang terjadi antara dosen dan mahasiswa. Untuk itu, dilakukan observasi pada 6 mata kuliah keterampilan Bahasa Jepang yang dilaksanakan pada platform aplikasi pembelajaran Google Classroom. Data penelitian diambil dari ujaran dosen dan mahasiswa pada bagian stream dan classwork aplikasi Google Classroom selama bulan April 2020. Berdasarkan hasil analisa coding dan kategorisasi terhadap data tersebut, ditemukan bahwa interaksi yang terjadi antara dosen dan mahasiswa cenderung bersifat prosedural di mana dosen memberikan instruksi mengenai pelaksanaan pembelajaran, tugas dan ujian. Selain itu terlihat juga upaya untuk menjaga hubungan sosial antar dosen dan mahasiswa. Walaupun interaksi tersebut penting dalam pembelajaran, namun hal ini tidak secara langsung bermanfaat bagi peningkatan pemahaman dan kemampuan Bahasa Jepang mahasiswa. Dibutuhkan usaha agar interaksi bersifat kognitif muncul dalam pembelajaran dengan membuka ruang diskusi dan pemberian feedback secepatnya.

Background: Proximal femoral nail (PFN) is an intramedullary implant which has been commonly used in the fixation of intertrochanteric fractures. However, controversy comes about the effect of nail length on fracture union and other complications. A comparative evaluation of surgical treatment and functional outcome of patients with peritrochanteric fractures treated with short versus long PFN.Methods:  Total of 100 patients have been included in study out of which 57 belonged to group 1 and were operated with short PFN and rest 43 were group 2 operated with long PFN. Patients were followed up for 6 months and were compared on various parameters.Results: There is no significant difference noted in the two group. However, the surgical duration and blood loss for short PFN was significantly less as compared to long PFN.Conclusions: Short PFN is better implant for peritrochantric fractures both stable and unstable with quicker surgical time and lesser blood loss.
Modified Kuppuswamy socioeconomic scale updated for the year 2021
Authors: Saleem Sheikh Mohd , Jan Shah Sumaya
Published: April 2021

Socioeconomic status (SES) is one among important indicators to evaluate the health status and nutritional status of a family. It is a position attained by any individual within a system of hierarchical social structure. Various attempts have been done in past by eminent scholars and medical scientists to formulate a group of composite indexes to determine SES of an individual or a family living in urban or rural areas. The scales have included various composite indexes to take into account details pertaining to an individual or any family. Among all the available SES, the most widely used and popular scale in our country is “Modified Kuppuswamy SES” which is mostly used for urban areas. In this paper, we have aimed at revising and providing an “Updated Modified Kuppuswamy SES” for the year 2021. The scale was initially developed by Kuppuswamy in the year 1976 including index parameters like education, occupation, and total income which was further modified in later years to include head of families educational status, occupational status and overall aggregate income of the whole family, pooled from all sources. The Kuppuswamy SES has included 3 parameters and each parameter is further classified into subgroups and scores have been allotted to each subgroup which have been defined later in this paper. The total score of Kuppuswamy SES ranges from 3-29 and it classifies families into 5 groups, “upper class, upper middle class, lower middle class, upper lower and lower socio-economic class.” Due to limitations, the Kuppuswamy SES needs regular update for income levels which is based on changing CPI values which makes the scale vulnerable to fluctuations over time.

This article deals with the screening/spot test for anti-arrhythmic drugs. An attempts has been made for screening/spot/colour test of anti-arrhythmic drugs in a stepwise manner, which can be of handy reference for the forensic toxicologist/scientist/chemist.
Interventional study to improve the haemoglobin level using moringa olifera powder on anaemic children in selected district of Karnataka
Authors: Nandimath Priya T , S Umashankar
Published: April 2021

Anaemia is a serious concern for the young children as it affects the cognitive performance, development (cognitive and behavioral), coordination, language development and scholastic achievement. Various interventions have been undertaken during last 50 years such as green revolution, PDS, ICDS, etc. Nutritional deficiencies remain with the same burden and nutritional anemia being one of the major concerns in India. Hence it becomes quite evident hat alternative strategies should be tried to improve the nutritional anemia and reduce the morbidity associated with it, such as use of locally available, traditional food to increase the bioavailability of iron and to improve the nutritional behavior through nutritional education. The present study was proposed with an aim to assess the role of Moringa Olifera powder in improving haemoglobin level among the anaemic children.

A case control study was conducted at a village, Chikaballapur district of Karnataka. 312 school children were screened for Haemoglobin level; Out of 312 students 124 school children fulfilled the inclusion criteria. 66 children were recruited to control group and interventional group respectively. The children in the interventional group were administered with 3gms per day (1/2 a tea spoon) of Moringa Olifera powder along with their food for 3 months and regular supplements provided at school. Control group was advised to continue with the regular meal and regular supplements provided at the school. Haemoglobin levels were estimated before and 3 months after the intervention.

Out of 58 children in the interventional group 33 (56.9%) were females and 25 (43.1%) were males and out of 66 children in the control group 34 (51.55) were females and 32(48.5%) were males. The mean Haemoglobin level of the children in the interventional group before the intervention was 10.332 which increased to 10.967 after the intervention. Similarly the mean Haemoglobin level of children in the control group before the intervention was 9.950 which remained 9.873 after the intervention. The increase in the mean haemoglobin level in the interventional group was significant with the p value of 0.045. After the intervention the children with moderate anaemia decreased from 38(65.5%) to 23(39.7%) and 13 (22.4%) children turned normal in the experimental group and in the control group the children with moderate anaemia increased from 52(78.8%) to 55(81.8%).

There a statistically significant marginal improvement in haemoglobin level in the interventional group after three months.

Authors: Arias Ortiz Elena , Dutra Ana , Dueñas Ximena , Elacqua Gregory , Hincapie Diana , Soares Sammara
Published: April 2021

Apesar de ainda enfrentar grandes desafios, a educação pública no Brasil vinha apresentando uma trajetória favorável na última década: entre 2007 e 2018, a lacuna socioeconômica da taxa de abandono no ensino médio sofreu uma redução de 62%. No entanto, com a pandemia da COVID-19, escolas fecharam e a economia desandou. O Brasil está entre os países com o período mais longo de escolas fechadas e é o sistema educacional com o maior número de estudantes impactados pela ausencia das aulas presenciais. A transição para o ensino remoto obrigou governos locais e famílias a se adaptarem ao novo contexto, mas até maio de 2020, 40% dos municípios ainda no possuíam sequer um plano de ensino remoto. Além disso, dados de conectividade da Anatel mostram que o número de conexões móveis per capita é significativamente menor em municípios com IDH mais baixo. O presente relatório discute os resultados de pesquisas levantadas no Brasil ao longo de 2020 e evidencias empíricas na literatura nacional e internacional sobre os possíveis efeito da pandemia na educação do país. As evidências sugerem que tanto a ausencia de aulas presenciais como a redução na renda das famílias causaram danos sem precedentes nos indicadores de aprendizagem e nas taxas de abandono e amplifiquem as desigualdades socioeconômicas educacionais no país. Diante disso, discute-se algumas recomendações de políticas que podem ajudar a mitigar o impacto da pandemia nos resultados educacionais no Brasil.

Authors: Katiraeifar Farinaz , Barekatain Mehrdad , Ghasemi Davood , Sadeghpour Kimia
Published: April 2021

Introduction: Fissure sealants are one of the most proven ways to prevent tooth decay. These materials may remain on the tooth for a long time, and other areas of the tooth may decay. The purpose of this study was to present the best method for surface preparation a fissure sealant material (Icon) and composite restoration
Materials and Methods: In this experimental laboratory study, 40 samples of composite restorative material were prepared in 4 groups of 10 discs of 6 mm in diameter and 2 mm in height. Total etch bonding agent was used in the first, second and third groups without surface preparation, with the use of drills and 37% phosphoric acid, and after drilling, respectively. In the fourth group, self-etch bonding agent was used after drilling. After that, Icon resin material was placed on the surface of the composite in a disc of 4 mm with height of 2mm in diameter and was cured. When the samples were thermocycled and incubated, their bonding strength was evaluated with Instron testing machine. Data were analyzed by one-way variance statistical ANOVA tests, Tukey test (p value < 0.05).
Results: The mean value of bond strength of Icon to resin composite was significantly different among the 4 groups (p value < 0.05). The fourth group presented the greatest bond strength value while the third group had the lowest bond strength.
Conclusion: When repairing fissure sealant, particularly Icon using resin composite, the best results of bond strength are achieved through surface roughening with drills and the application of self-etch bonding agents with a mild pH. Acidic etching agents (37% Phosphoric acid), however, have probably destructive effects on bond strength.

Published: April 2021

Sanayi devrimi ile birlikte sosyal hayattan ve kalabalık aile ortamından yavaş yavaş uzaklaşan birey, yalnız yaşamanın getirdiği çok çetin ruhsal problemlerle, nevrozlarla mücadele etmek zorunda kalmıştır. Yalnızlaşan birey adeta kalabalıklar içinde yitik biri gibi yaşamaya başlamıştır. Freud’a göre insanlığı ilgilendiren her şeyin ana sebebi ödip kompleksidir. Annelerine aşık olan erkek çocukların, babalarına aşık olan kız çocukların varlığından söz etmeye başlar ve bu durumu istisnasız bütün insanlığın -hatırlamasalar bile- mutlaka yaşadığını ileri sürer. Doğrudan böyle bir kanıya varmanın zorluğunu anlamak elbette mümkündür, fakat sanatçının bilinçaltı olarak değerlendirilen eseri psikanalize tabi tutulduğunda dolaylı anlatımlarla bazı sanatçılarda ödip kompleksine şahit olmak mümkün olabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Amerikalı modernist yazar Thomas Wolfe’un otobiyografik anlatılarını, ödip kompleksi açısından psikanalize tabi tutup Freudyen bakış açısıyla inceleme amaçlanmaktadır.
A Way Out for School Organization Based on the Star Model
Authors: Feng Xiaolong
Published: April 2021

This paper attempts to redesign the organization of a school based on Jay Galbraith’s Star Model framework. The analysis on challenges that may pose threat to the school’s development in future reveals the imperative of the school to adopt a “FLIP” strategy to adapt to and survive in the society instead of falling into the pattern of slow death. To implement the strategy and make it effective, three capabilities are identified as the core competency so as to fulfill the objectives presented in the strategy. The redesign of the structure of the school is featured by two key new additional offices (the school committee and the organization development intervention center) which respectively function to handle multilateral relationships among internal and external members of the school and to provide 360° interventions to reduce conflicts and inspire learning in the organization. The reward system is designed to facilitate performance management and joint efforts among all staff members based on the recognition of everyone’s contribution so that people are motivated to well communicate and collaborate with each other for a better working climate of learning and growing.

Dissolved oxygen is one of the prime parameters for assessing the water
quality of any stream and the health status of aquatic life. The
dissolved oxygen present in the water body plays an essential role in
deciding water treatment processes to enhance water quality up to the
design standards for the specified water use. Thus, the accurate
estimation of dissolved oxygen concentration is necessary to evolve
measures for maintaining the riverine ecosystem and designing the
appropriate water treatment plants. Machine learning techniques are
becoming useful tools for the prediction and simulation of water quality
parameters. With these viewpoints, a study was carried out in the Delhi
stretch of Yamuna River, India, and physiochemical parameters were
examined for five years to simulate the dissolved oxygen using different
machine learning techniques. Simulation and prediction competencies of
ANFIS grid partitioning (ANFIS-GP) and ANFIS subtractive clustering
(ANFIS-SC) were tested on various water quality parameters. Variation in
dissolved oxygen was examined on various combinations of parameters.
ANFIS-GP has been designed using the Gaussian function, and ANFIS-SC
works on the likelihood of cluster centers. Results obtained from the
models were evaluated using root mean square error (RMSE) and
coefficient of determination (R2) to identify the optimum solution and
appropriate combination of parameters that simulate the observed
dissolved oxygen. Results of ANFIS-GP and ANFIS-SC indicate that both
the models produce suitable solutions for the prediction; however,
ANFIS-GP outperforms the ANFIS-SC and could act as a useful tool for
defining, planning, and management of water quality parameters.

This study conducted simulation and experimental analysis on a dual
rotor horizontal axis wind turbine to determine the effect of rotor
separation on its performance. An air study was conducted to optimize
the turbine blades to a local climate of Trinidad, it was determined
that a NACA 64-315 air foil would be the most optimum for the
conditions. QBlade software was used for the simulation, the power flow
performance for multiple iterations of wind speed was found for the
design. The effect of rotor separation on the performance of the dual
rotor wind turbine was studied with rotor separation 0.25 m to 3.0 m at
an interval of 0.25 m and it was discovered that the smallest rotor
separation 0.25 m shows the largest tip speed ratio, while the largest
rotor separation distance 3m has the smallest tip speed ratio at a fan
speed of 1m/s. Also, as the rotor separation decreases the power
coefficient (C P ) and the total power increase, which resulted to high
energy output of the DRHAWT. This result is valid for the QBlade
simulations and the experimental results.

Introduction: Ablation Index guided ablation according to the CLOSE
protocol is very effective in terms of chronic pulmonary vein isolation
(PVI). However, the optimal RF power remains controversial. Here, we
thought to investigate the efficiency and safety of an AI guided fixed
circumferential 50W high power short duration (HPSD) PVI using the CLOSE
protocol Methods and results: In a single-centre prospective “proof of
concept” trial 40 patients underwent randomized PVI using AI guided RF
ablation without oesophageal temperature monitoring. In 20 patient fixed
50W HPSD was used irrespective to the anatomical localization. 20
subjects were ablated with standard power settings (20W posterior and
40W roof and anterior wall). Additionally, 80 consecutive patients were
treated according to the HPSD protocol to gather additional safety data.
All patients underwent post-procedural oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy to
reveal oesophageal lesions (EDEL). The mean total procedural time was
80.3±22.5 minutes in HPSD compared to control 109.1±27.4
(p<0.001). The total RF-time was significantly lower in HPSD
1379±505 sec vs. control 2374±619 sec (p<0.001).There were no
differences in periprocedural complications. EDEL occurred in 13% in
the HPSD and 10% in control group. EDEL occurring in the 50W HSDP
patients were smaller, more superficial and had a faster healing
tendency. Conclusions: A fixed 50W HPSD circumferential PVI relying to
the ablation index and CLOSE protocol reduces the total procedure time
and the total RF time compared to standard CLOSE protocol, without
increasing the complication rates. The incidence of oesophageal lesions
was similar using 50W at the posterior atrial wall.

Introduction: Human Immunodeficiency virus is a chronic infection that
attacks the immune system of the human body, particularly CD4 T
lymphocytes. Combined antiretroviral therapies are highly effective in
virological suppression of human immunodeficiency virus infection. It
has been shown that some retroviral therapies have a higher
nephrotoxicity potential. As a result of renal injury, serum creatinine
increases, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate is reduced. The
aim of our study was to assess changes in kidney function during a
24-month period in HIV-positive patients who were begun on combined
antiretroviral therapy. Material-method: A total of 127 HIV positive
patients were enrolled. The patients were divided into five groups;
patients who received no therapy were designated as Group 1; those that
received Dolutegravir/Abacavir/Lamivudine combination as Group 2; those
that received Elvitegravir/Cobicistat/Emtricitabine/Tenofovir
Alafenamide Fumarate combination as Group 3; those that received
Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate/Dolutegravir combination as
Group 4; and those that received Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil
Fumarate/Raltegravir combination as Group 5. We compared the effects of
these drugs on estimated glomerular filtration rate during a 24-month
follow-up period. Results: At the 24th month of therapy, a significant
difference was observed between the eGFR levels of the study groups
(p:<0.001). eGFR level was significantly higher in Group 4
compared to Groups 1, 2, and 3 (p:0.009, p:<0.001,
p:<0.001, respectively) while it was significantly lower in
Group 5 than groups 1, 2, and 3 (p:0.005, p:<0.001,
p:<0.001, respectively). No significant eGFR difference was
found between Group 4 and Group 5 (p>0.05). Serum
creatinine level was significantly higher in Groups 4 and 5 compared to
the other groups (p<0.001). Conclusion: The use of
TDF-containing regimens causes renal dysfunction. Therefore, we
recommend close monitoring of renal function, especially in patients
treated with TDF.

INTRODUCTION: We evaluated the re-transurethral resection (re-TUR)
pathologies and the comparison of pathology results between
transurethral resection of bladder (TUR-B) and re-TUR for non-muscle
invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Additionally we assessed the factors
affecting the re-TUR pathology and tried to define the more valuable
re-TUR patient groups. We also aimed to evaluate the effect of re-TUR on
recurrence and progression. METHODS: We performed re-TUR to
intermediate/high risk NMIBC patients, 4-6 weeks after the index TUR-B.
Both TUR-B and re-TUR pathology characteristics, including tumor stage,
grade, size, number, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), carcinoma in situ
(CIS), variant pathology and intermediate/high risk status were
analysed. The recurrence and progression rates were also evaluated
according to re-TUR. RESULTS: A total of 78 patients with NMIBC were
included to the study. The index TUR-B pathologies were Ta-Low: 6
(7,7%), Ta-High: 5 (6,4%), T1-Low: 14 (17,9%), T1-High: 53 (67,9%).
Re-TUR positivity was n: 40 (51 %), and upstaging/upgrading at re-TUR
was n: 11 (14 %) in all groups. Re-TUR positivity was significantly
higher in high-risk compared to intermediate-risk NMIBC (p:0,026).
Re-TUR positivity was higher in patients with hydronephrosis, CIS, LVI,
differentiation, size (>3 cm) and multiple tumour presence
(p<0,05). There was no significant relationship between
recurrence / progression and re-TUR (p>0,05). CONCLUSION:
Residual tumour was common after the index TUR-B and upstaging after
re-TUR was very important. Re-TUR is critically important in high-risk
NMIBC, presence of hydronephrosis, CIS, LVI, variant pathology, size
(>3 cm) and multiple number of tumor.

Cancer cachexia is one of the most common causes of death among cancer
patients, no effective anti-cachectic treatment is currently available.
In experimental cachectic animal models, aberrant activation of STAT3 in
skeletal muscle has been found to contribute to muscle wasting. However,
its clinical association, the factors regulating STAT3 activation, and
the molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we show
that an enhanced interaction between activated STAT3 and HSP90, which
were observed in the skeletal muscle of cancer cachexia patients, is a
crucial event for the development of cachectic muscle wasting.
Administration of HSP90 inhibitors 17DMAG and PU-H71 alleviated the
muscle wasting in C26 tumor-bearing cachectic mice or the myotube
atrophy of C2C12 cells induced by C26 conditional medium. A mechanistic
study indicated that in cachectic skeletal muscle, prolonged STAT3
activation transactivated FOXO1 by binding directly to its promoter and
triggered the muscle wasting in a FOXO1-dependent manner; Our results
demonstrate that the HSP90/STAT3/FOXO1 axis plays a critical role in the
cachectic muscle wasting, which might serve as potential therapeutic
target for the treatment of cancer cachexia.
