KEMAMPUAN BERBICARA ANAK PENYANDANG AMNESTIK APHASIA (Studi Kasus Pada Anak Autisme Usia 12 Tahun di Desa Kedung, Kebupaten Tangerang)
Authors: Susanto Teguh
Published: September 2021

Seiring dengan perkembangan usianya, seorang anak dapat berbicara dengan baik (struktur sintaksisnya) apabila proses pemerolehan dan pemelajaran bahasanya terus dilatih. Kemampuan berbicara sangat dipengaruhi oleh fungsi otak. Apabila fungsi otak tidak optimal maka saraf yang menghubungkan ke alat pengucapan (komunikasi) pun terganggu atau gangguan bicara (aphasia). Berkaitan dengan gangguan berbicara pada anak, di Desa Kedung terdapat anak yang memiliki kelainan otak atau autisme yang sukar sekali dalam berbicara. Ia hanya dapat mengucapkan beberapa kata saja padahal usianya 12 tahun. Penelitian ini berfokus pada dua pertanyaan penelitian, yaitu: 1) faktor-faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhi ketidakmampuan Jeje dalam berbicara, dan 2) bagaimanakah cara penanganannya dalam membantu mengatasi ketidakmampuan Jeje dalam berbicara. Selanjutnya, tujuan penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui atau mendeskripsikan faktor-faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhi ketidakmampuan Jeje dalam berbicara dan cara penanganannya dalam membantu mengatasi ketidakmampuan tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain penelitian studi kasus tunggal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa melatih pengucapan kata-kata secara berulang-ulang dengan memperlihatkan objek gambar yang menarik dan bermacam warna dapat membantu mengatasi ketidakmampuan informan dalam berbicara. Hal ini dapat terlihat adanya perubahan dalam pengucapan katanya, misalnya yang awalnya hanya dapat mengucapkan kata â€œenduâ€ menjadi â€œghonduâ€, meskipun pengucapannya tidak begitu lancar atau pelan-pelan karena ada kendala yang disebabkan oleh penyakit autisnya.

Authors: Anwas Oos M.
Published: September 2021

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui: 1) intensitas pemanfaatan media massa, 2) kesesuaian substansi media massa dengan keperluan penyuluhan pertanian, dan 3) faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pemanfaatan media massa sebagai media pembelajaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksplorasi terhadap penyuluh pertanian PNS di kabupaten Karawang dan Garut Jawa Barat. Dengan menggunakan analisis dekriptif diketahui bahwa pemanfaatan media massa: koran, buku, radio, dan internet dalam katagori sangat rendah. Pemanfaatan majalah dalam katagori sedang dan hanya intensitas pemanfaatan media televisi dalam katagori tinggi. Substansi informasi media massa secara umum kurang sesuai dengan kebutuhan penyuluhan pertanian. Hanya substansi majalah yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan penyuluhan pertanian. Hasil analisis regresi berganda dengan metode stepwise diketahui bahwa intensitas pemanfaatan media massa yang rendah dipengaruhi oleh tingkat kepemilikan media komunikasi dan informasi dan dukungan keluarga yang relatif rendah, meskipun tingkat pendidikan formalnya tinggi. Oleh karena itu dalam era informasi, media massa sudah menjadi kebutuhan bagi profesi penyuluh pertanian sehingga perlu dilakukan upaya dimulai dengan menumbuhkan kesadaran, menyediakan kemudahan akses media massa, serta meningkatkan substansi media massa yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan penyuluhan pertanian.
Stakeholders Awareness of Safety Leadership Through Construction Safety Management System in Indonesia
Authors: Indrayana Desiderius Viby , Suraji Akhmad
Published: September 2021

Construction workplace safety has become serious issues among global companies. Improvement on occupational safety and health has been carried out. However, construction still becomes a sector with the highest accident rate. Particularly in Indonesia, construction contributes to 32% of accident rate followed by transportation, forestry, and mining. Main driver to improve safety performance is safety leadership as the frontline part of Construction Safety Management System (CSMS). Since it is a non-technical aspect, stakeholders’ awareness is doubtful. Therefore, this study aims to describe Indonesia construction stakeholders’ awareness of safety leadership as part of CSMS. Questionnaire was distributed to 693 respondents comprises of government, planners, consultants, private contractors, and State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) contractors. The result was analyzed with descriptive statistic to reveal the stakeholders’ level of awareness. SOE contractor has the highest awareness of safety leadership. It is considered as obvious finding since SOE contractor becomes dominant in Indonesia’s construction industry. The majority of big-classified contractors are SOE. Meanwhile, contractors’ BOD is the lowest. The BOD commonly uses managerial leadership to run the company rather than safety leadership. However, the safety leadership should be owned by every stakeholder in construction industry whether they are in high or low management level.

Abstract— The use of technology and information systems is an obligation that must be applied by every agency or organization to simplify and optimize operational implementation. Many agencies are actively using information systems so that the agency's performance can run well, systematically, and controlled, which will impact the credibility of their agency. A good information system can be created because of good planning. Strategic planning of information systems allows producing a good information system. This is because the output produced is in the form of strategic plans and documents that methodically describe the needs of information systems. Torsina Private Vocational School is a vocational school that seeks to implement information systems in every operation to improve schools' services. Therefore, strategic planning is needed in the development of IS/IT at Torsina Private Vocational Schools so that the implementation of information systems becomes more controlled and on target. IS/IT strategic planning in this study uses the Ward and Peppard model, while the analytical tools used are Critical Success Factors (CSF's), SWOT Analysis, Value Chain, and McFarlans Strategic Grid. The existence of an analytical tool is used to support the Ward and Peppard model to determine the internal and external environmental conditions of the organization. The results of this study are strategic planning of information systems at Torsina Private Vocational Schools in the form of business strategy, IT strategy, IS/IT management strategy, and an information system portfolio that is mapped based on the level of importance.

Anti-Black Racism In Child Welfare
Authors: Damdar Ruth Naomi
Published: September 2021

Black children are over-represented in Toronto’s Children’s Aid Society (CAS). A variety of academic of literature points to racism, specifically anti-Black racism, as the reason for

such high rates of apprehension of Black children. Indeed the Government of Ontario (2017) found the need for training on anti-Black racism to combat structural oppression. While the literature acknowledges that anti-Black racism is a major contributing factor to the overrepresentation of Black children in-care, there is a gap present about how, or if conversations about anti-Black racism are occurring within CAS. This study highlights the voices of three self-identified critical frontline workers at CAS to better understand how and if conversations about anti-Black racism occur, as well as what kinds of barriers may exist to having such conversations within CAS.

A mediados del siglo XVIII Salta constituyó uno de los nodos más importantes del Virreinato del Río de la Plata. Su prosperidad, atrajo la emigración de peninsulares que anhelaban alcanzar una mejor calidad y condición de vida en América. Este artículo se propone dilucidar a través del estudio de Manuel Antonio Tejada, las posibilidades de ascenso social y económico que cupieron en el interior de la Monarquía hispánica y en la Intendencia de Salta del Tucumán. El acceso a fuentes inéditas y una alternativa de análisis relacional permiten exponer un Tejada diferente, cuyo pasado desconocido, hoy puede revelarse. Fue un inmigrante castellano que, a través de las actividades del préstamo y el tejido de una red comercial que conectó Salta a mercados transoceánicos, pudo enriquecerse y promocionar social, política y económicamente en la sociedad que lo cobijó. Sus prácticas mercantiles le permitieron alcanzar una de las fortunas más grandes a nivel virreinal. Su trayectoria obliga a considerar que la construcción de riqueza en la sociedad salteña virreinal también estuvo asociada a actividades económicas propias de la esfera de la circulación, como el comercio y el préstamo.

Deep Learning Methods in Speaker Recognition: A Review
Authors: Sztahó Dávid , Szaszák György , Beke András
Published: September 2021

This paper reviews the applied Deep Learning (DL) practices in the field of Speaker Recognition (SR), both in verification and identification. Speaker Recognition has been a widely used topic of speech technology. Many research works have been carried out and little progress has been achieved in the past 5–6 years. However, as Deep Learning techniques do advance in most machine learning fields, the former state-of-the-art methods are getting replaced by them in Speaker Recognition too. It seems that Deep Learning becomes the now state-of-the-art solution for both Speaker Verification (SV) and identification. The standard x-vectors, additional to i-vectors, are used as baseline in most of the novel works. The increasing amount of gathered data opens up the territory to Deep Learning, where they are the most effective.

Visualizing cell behavior and effector function on a single cell level has been crucial for understanding key aspects of mammalian biology. Due to their small size, large number and rapid recruitment into thrombi, there is a lack of data on fate and behavior of individual platelets in thrombosis and hemostasis. Here we report the use of platelet lineage restricted multi-color reporter mouse strains to delineate platelet function on a single cell level. We show that genetic labeling allows for single platelet and megakaryocyte (MK) tracking and morphological analysis in vivo and in vitro, while not affecting lineage functions. Using Cre-driven Confetti expression, we provide insights into temporal gene expression patterns as well as spatial clustering of MK in the bone marrow. In the vasculature, shape analysis of activated platelets recruited to thrombi identifies ubiquitous filopodia formation with no evidence of lamellipodia formation. Single cell tracking in complex thrombi reveals prominent myosin-dependent motility of platelets and highlights thrombus formation as a highly dynamic process amenable to modification and intervention of the acto-myosin cytoskeleton. Platelet function assays combining flow cytrometry, as well as in vivo, ex vivo and in vitro imaging show unaltered platelet functions of multicolor reporter mice compared to wild-type controls. In conclusion, platelet lineage multicolor reporter mice prove useful in furthering our understanding of platelet and MK biology on a single cell level.
Medicazione a base d’argento nella gestione dell’emergenza cutanea
Authors: Lunardi Walter , Bianchi Sonia
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Exit-site (ES) and tunnel infections are the main infectious complication in peritoneal dialysis (PD); they also are risk factors for the development of peritonitis, for catheter removal and for dialysis drop-out.
Up to now, besides the recommendations of the Guidelines there is no uniformity, nor on the classification, nor on the treatment strategies of the infected ES.
Recent experiences are reported with alternative types of dressings that aim to reduce the incidence of ES infection and consequently of the subcutaneous tunnel.
Methods: The Tuscan group conducted a retrospective observational study of 10 patients on PD who, showing signs of a suspected but not ascertained infection (negative microbiological culture), such as redness, edema, secretion, scab, had been medicated with silver-ions releasing Exit-Pad Ag. The aim was to evaluate and classify the evolution of ES lesions, in order to confirm the preventive efficacy of the silver-ions releasing dressing compared to the traditional ones.
Results: After 4 weeks of treatment with Exit Pad Ag maintained in situ for 72 h, 6 patients no longer had any signs of inflammation. In 2 cases, several weeks of treatment were necessary to achieve a complete recovery, while in 2 other cases the signs of inflammation became negative in less time (2 weeks, 1 week).
Conclusions: With the utilization of an alternative dressing such as Exit-Pad Ag on PD patients showing early signs of inflammation, the onset of a true infection can be prevented, with a progressive improvement of the ES.
Un “selfie” in dialisi: valutazione delle abitudini personali degli infermieri di un centro dialisi
Authors: Capitanini Alessandro
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Healthcare workers represent a population that is well analysed by health studies: since 1976, the Nurses’ Health Study has been examining American nurses for health-related risks and is currently recruiting its third cohort. The survey models used are predominantly biomedical, i.e. based on the disease-healing scheme which focuses on purely biological factors with little or no assessment of psychological, behavioural and environmental aspects. The biopsychosocial assessment model, in its multifaceted nature, is probably more suitable for assessing occupational distress as a progressive cause of health worker burnout. It attributes the outcome of illness, as well as that of health, to the numerous, complex interactions of biological, psychological and social factors. In this work, we decided to evaluate the lifestyle and habits of a homogeneous population of nurses, all belonging to an Operative Unit of Nephrology (Pistoia).
Methods: We decided to use unconventional instruments: a “selfie” questionnaire on habits, constructed with scientifically validated items, aimed at the self-assessment of habits, scientifically recognised as determinants of health (nutritional, behavioural, relational, physiological...), correlating it with the analysis of the receipts of the weekly shopping of the family unit of the nurse in the study, according to the principle that “we eat what we buy”.
Results and conclusion: Nurses evaluated in the study showed a frequent unhealthy lifestyle which can have negative effects on their health, on their family and, consequently, on their work environment. Questionnaire and focus group discussions were appreciated and potentially useful and effective in changing bad habits.
«Pseudo-chambers» from the excavations of Kateryna Melnyk as a transitional link in development of the burial rite of Volyn population in the Early Middle ages
Authors: Bibikov Dmytro
Published: September 2021

The article is devoted to a specific category of ancient Rus burial monuments of X–XI centuries. They combine the features of both elite chamber tombs of the Viking Age and ordinary Christian burials of the beginning of the II millennium AD. The author considered to combine such burials under the term «pseudo-chambers» or «imitation chambers». There are four types of them: 1) chambers with coffins; 2) ground chambers; 3) «earthen» chambers with wooden flooring, but without wall coverings; 4) «large burial pits» without wooden structures. In the article there is first analysis of the structural and ceremonial features of each of these chamber types. Moreover, the author identifies their peculiarities. The basis of the sample is taken from the materials of excavations headed by K. Melnyk in 1897–1898, which was the source of the greatest number of such monuments.
Obviously, the erection of classical chamber tombs in the southern Rus territories ceased with the beginning of Christianization. However, the ancient Rus elite could not abandon this tradition completely, which was reflected in the appearance of imitation cameras. The vast majority of them inside permanent wooden structures contain a movablecoffin. This fact contradicts the basic idea of the classical chamber tombs as «houses of the dead» and indicates at least a significant influence of the Christian doctrine. The spread of pseudo-chambers in the territory of Volyn should undoubtedly be linked to the governmental activity of Volodymyr Sviatoslavych that may have been accompanied by an influx of people («greater men») from the Middle Dnieper. According to the composition of the funerary inventory and analogies from the adjacent territories, they can be dated from the end of X – the first half of XI centuries.
Comprehensive analysis of construction features and funerary inventory of imitation chambers from the territory of Volyn does not allow us uniquely associate them with representatives of the ancient Rus elite. Within the region, mentioned monuments are not a direct line of development of classical chamber tombs, but merely imitate socially prestigious ceremonial elements of the latter.
Key words: Ancient Rus, Volyn, funeral rite, imitation cameras, Christianization.
The relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy of nurses regarding early initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and automated defibrillation in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alaryani Zainah D , Alhofaian Aisha , Elhady Mona
Published: September 2021

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation are the most common procedures performed by nurses as the first responders to cardiac arrest patients in the hospital setting. Therefore, nurses are demanded to have high skills for effective performance. Self-efficacy and knowledge are considered significant factors affecting early initiation of CPR and automated defibrillation. However, previous studies mostly focused on nursing students instead of frontline nurses.
Objective: This research aimed to assess the relationship between nurses’ knowledge and self-efficacy regarding the early initiation of CPR and automated defibrillation of cardiac arrest patients.
Methods: The study employed a cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational survey. Using convenience sampling, two hundred eighty-seven nurses working in critical areas and inpatient and outpatient departments, King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Saudi Arabia, were selected. Resuscitation Knowledge and Self-Efficacy Scales were used for data collection (using Google Form) from November 2020 to January 2021. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis.
Results: Overall, 61.3% of participants had moderate knowledge (13.659 ± 2.175), and 63.8% had high self-efficacy (44.627 ± 58.397). The highest domain of self-efficacy was responding and rescuing, while the lowest domain was debriefing and recording. There was a significant positive relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy (p <0.001; r = 0.207).
Conclusion: The positive relationship explained a high level of self-efficacy if there was a high level of knowledge. Thus, it is recommended that nursing programs apply CPR and automated defibrillation curricula during nurses’ internships, clear policies and procedures about CPR and automated defibrillation, continual updates about CPR and automated defibrillation, and knowledge and continuance training (on-job-training) about CPR and automated defibrillation, which can enhance and improve knowledge and self-efficacy among health care workers, especially for nurses.
A PHILIPPINE MODEL FOR INFORMATION SHARING FOR EFFECTIVE REVENUE COLLECTION THROUGH E-GOVERNANCE
Authors: Jia Li
Published: September 2021

—Local revenues are the backbone by which local
governments anchor the sustenance of their operations,
functions and projects within their jurisdiction. Local
Government Units (LGU’s) in the Philippines depend
heavily on local revenue generation- for their development.
Although having the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA)
given by the national government through which they
support their activities and promote their growth, each
local government unit through its treasury office rely on
an effective local tax administration and collection system
in order to get the best possible resource to serve this
purpose. Nevertheless, the problem of local revenue tax
collection is a perennial problem and this is traced to many
factors that play a part in the inability of the local treasury
office to exercise their function to the fullest merit.
Optimum tax collection efforts can be enhanced
by the local treasury office should it have the ability to
synchronize information records which allows the treasury
office to check and verify the records taxpayers paying
business taxes. Access to this knowledge will give the local
treasury the capability to maximize tax collection
effectively. And because the local treasury organization
like any other government organization is structured to
become compatible with new technology development to
help it faced with changes in its environment, present day
technology in terms of information is now made part of
that response. Verification of accuracy of payments
through collaborative inter agency efforts is now available.
This requires three agencies to collaborate in comparing
actual gross sales/receipts from declared gross
sales/receipts based on the gathered documents like the
books of account, audited financial statements, vat returns
and the official receipts as proof of payment of the local
business taxes. Three agencies have been mandated to
collaborate on this endeavor: the Local City Treasury, the
Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Secur

Range Test (DNMRT) were used to identify significant
mean differences. Regression analyses were carried out to
model the variation of turbidity, mud volume and CaO
with change of juice pH. Quadratic model (R2 = 99.2 %, p
<0.001) best fitted to explain the effect of pH on turbidity
of juice. Effect of pH on deposited mud volume and CaO
were explained by cubic models with R2 = 99.4 % (p
<0.001) and R2 = 93.9 %, (p <0.001) respectively.
Among tested treatments, pH 7.5 is selected as the best for
turbidity improvement of the clarified juice while pH 8.5 is
the second best. However pH 8.5 (370 ml) was able to
deposited significantly high mud volume than pH 7.5 (270
ml). Further, the amount of residual Ca2+ ions in the
clarified juice at pH 7.5 (2715 ppm) is clearly lower than
the amount of Ca2+ ions remaining in the clarified juice at
pH 8.5 (2945 ppm). It is expected to obtain high turbidity
and higher mud volume with low sugar inversion at
optimum pH. Therefore the results suggest optimum pH
range lie around pH 7.5 to 8.5. Conducting similar
experiment by using mixed juice extracted from sugar
factory mills with pH range around 7.0 to 8.4 at 0.2
increments is suggested to validate the optimum pH.

AN ADVANCED APPROACH TO RECOGNIZE HUMAN ACTIVITIES VIA DEEP LEARNING
Authors: Karn Aryan , Raj Maurya Dharm
Published: September 2021

The study of wearable and handheld
sensors recognizing human activity improved our
understanding of human behaviours and human objectives.
Many academics seek to identify the activities of a user from
raw data using the fewest necessary resources. In this article,
we propose a network of profound beliefs, a full-service
architecture for the recognition of activities (DBN-LSTM).
This DBN-LSTM method improves the human
predictability of raw data and reduces the complexity of the
model as well as the requirement for comprehensive
workmanship. A geographically and temporally rich
network is CNN-LSTM. Our proposed model for the UCI
HAR Public Data Set can achieve 99% accuracy and 92%
precision.

UNPRECEDENTED ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF PROSOPIS CINERARIA LEAVES
Authors: Bhardwaj Dr. Vibha
Published: September 2021

The antibacterial effect of Prosopis cineraria
leaves was evaluated on multidrug resistant (MDR) strains
of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), E. coli (ATCC 8739),
Salmonella enterica (ATCC 14028), Staphylococcus aureus
(ATCC 6538), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853).
Powdered leaves of the tree were treated with methanol for
the extraction. Crude methanol extracts of the leaves of P.
cineraria was investigated for their antibacterial activity
against a wide range of bacteria (both gram-positive and
gram-negative) by agar well diffusion method.
Ciprofloxacin was used as standard.
The methanolic leaves extracts of P. cineraria showed a
remarkable inhibition of the microorganisms. The
potency shown by these extracts recommends their use
against multidrug resistant microorganisms. The present
study suggests that the methanol extract of the leaves of P.
cineraria exhibited a potential antibacterial activity against
the tested microorganisms and could be a potential source
of new antimicrobial agents.
ELECTRONIC FUSE USING RESETTABLE POLY FUSE FOR OVER CURRENT PROTECTION
Authors: Junghare Shivam
Published: September 2021

This paper presents a new technique to deal
with the high load currents or fluctuating currents using
poly fuse as its major component. Poly fuse is a resettable
fuse which goes on increasing its resistance, blocking the
excess current until the current is back to normal. Once
the current is under normal conditions, the resistance
stabilizes and the path between supply and load is
reconnected. The proposed work also uses a reed relay
which breaks the path exactly at the specified rating,
allowing a fast switch. The combination of poly fuse and
reed relay provides more efficient outputs as compared to
traditional circuit breakers. The fast-switching action,
accurate results and the smaller size makes poly fuse more
suitable for most of the power devices.
