Authors: Altundağ İbrahim , Doğruyol Sinem , Yavuz Burcu Genç , Yusufoğlu Kaan , Afacan Mustafa Ahmet , Çolak Şahin
Published: June 2023

Objectives: Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the focus of current studies, particularly due to its contribution in preventing human labor and time loss. The most important contribution of AI applications in the medical field will be to provide opportunities for increasing clinicians' gains, reducing costs, and improving public health. This study aims to assess the proficiency of ChatGPT-3.5, one of the most advanced AI applications available today, in its knowledge of current information based on the American Heart Association (AHA) 2020 guidelines.
Methods: An 80-question quiz in a question-and-answer format, which includes the current AHA 2020 application steps, was prepared and applied to ChatGPT-3.5 in both English (ChatGPT-3.5 English) and native language (ChatGPT-3.5 Turkish) versions in March 2023. The questions were prepared only in the native language for emergency medicine specialists.
Results: We found a similar success rate of over 80% in all questions asked to ChatGPT-3.5 and two independent emergency medicine specialists with at least 5 years of experience who did not know each other. ChatGPT-3.5 achieved a 100% success rate in all questions related to the General Overview for Current AHA Guideline, Airway Management, and Ventilation chapters in English.
Conclusions: Our study indicates that ChatGPT-3.5 provides similar accurate and up-to-date responses as experienced emergency specialists in the AHA 2020 Advanced Cardiac Life Support Guidelines. This suggests that with future updated versions of ChatGPT, instant access to accurate and up-to-date information based on textbooks and guidelines will be possible.

Authors: Potturu Sai Madhur
Published: June 2023

In this paper, I present a digital solution that leverages Microsoft PowerApps and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to revolutionize field data collection and management in rural farms where internet connectivity is a challenge. The solution explores different approaches to capturing data offline and synchronizing it with a data source when the device regains connectivity. With the PowerApps application, field force team members can capture and store service order data on their mobile/tablet devices, both online and offline. The RPA solution retrieves the data from the database and automatically creates service orders in various systems. This paper explores the benefits of this digital solution in improving service quality, enhancing customer experience, and reducing manual effort.
Childhood trauma, psychache and depression: A Moderated Mediation Model
Authors: Chen Shufeng , Fu Tiantian , Wang Yiwen , Sun Guoxiao
Published: June 2023

Background: Childhood trauma is a potential threat to depression and can have a lifelong impact on the mental health of university students. Few studies have investigated the mediating and moderating variables that influence this relationship. Our study aimed to construct a moderated mediation model to explore the relationship between childhood trauma, psychache, ambivalence over emotional expression, physical activity, and depression in university students.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in three universities in Shandong, Liaoning, and Guizhou in China, recruiting 476 university students using self-report questionnaires. The moderated mediation model was examined using the SPSS PROCESS model 21.
Results: 1) Childhood trauma has a significant and positively associated with depression. 2) Psychache partially mediates the relationship between childhood trauma and depression in university students. 3) The overall indirect effect of the ambivalence over emotional expression, psychache, and physical activity in the mechanisms underlying childhood trauma and depression was 0.287, accounting for 61.59% of the total effect. 4) High ambivalence over emotional positively moderates the pathway between childhood trauma and psychache, whereas physical activity level negatively moderates the pathway between psychache and depression.
Conclusions: This study investigated the relationship between childhood trauma, ambivalence over emotional expression, psychache, physical activity, and depression in university students. Future interventions should focus on developing good emotional expression among university students, increasing opportunities for physical activity, and reducing psychache to reduce depression.
An Empirical Study on Cyber Crimes and Cybersecurity Awareness
Authors: Mupila Francis K. , Gupta Himanshu , Bhardwaj Akashdeep
Published: June 2023

With the boom in the digital world today, cybercriminals have taken the Internet as their playground. The Internet's crimes have increased compared to previous years, and cybersecurity awareness must be paramount. This paper uses statistical correlation and regression techniques to study cybercrime rates and cybersecurity awareness levels empirically. Our analysis reveals a significant correlation between cybercrime rates and low cybersecurity awareness levels, suggesting that a lack of awareness contributes to higher cybercrime rates. We also find that age, occupation, and education level are significant predictors of cybersecurity awareness, with younger individuals and those in higher-paying professions having higher awareness levels. These findings suggest that improving cybersecurity awareness among individuals and organisations is crucial to preventing cybercrime. Policy recommendations include increasing awareness-raising activities targeted toward older age groups and developing education and training programs targeting individuals in lower-paying occupations—cyber-attacks targeting the less aware and vulnerable.

Purpose In this paper, an innovative approach concerning the investigation of the human heart is introduced employing state-of-the-art technologies. The presented technological tools aim in the creation of an innovative digital environment, where gaining surgical experience and developing pre-operative strategies could be achieved without the risk and anxiety of an actual heart surgery.
Methods Sophisticated algorithms were developed in order to automatically reconstruct a 3D model of a human heart based on DICOM data and to segment the main parts that constitutes it. Taking into account the reconstructed 3D model, a diagnosis of the examined patient can be derived, where in the present study a Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) clinical case was inspected. In addition, numerical approaches were considered that are able to simulate flows on complex shapes. Finally, a physical model was 3D printed via the MultiJet 3D Printing (MJP) process utilizing flexible materials.
Results The outcomes of the computation analysis coupled with the automatically reconstructed and segmented patient-specific 3D model are inserted in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment, where the clinicians can visualize the blood flow at the vessel walls and train on real-life medical scenarios, enhancing that way the procedural understanding prior to the actual operation. Moreover, the 3D printed heart possesses an adequate mechanical response replicating the mechanical properties as well as the geometrical characteristics of the investigated human heart.
Conclusions The present study introduced a robust software module for inspecting human hearts, aiding that way the medical doctors on the optimal preoperative assessment of patients with heart diseases using as input only the DICOM data of the examined patient.

Prioritization of micropollutants based on removal effort in drinking water purification treatment
Authors: Pronk Tessa E. , Fischer Astrid , van den Berg Annemijne E. T. , Hofman Roberta C. H. M.
Published: June 2023

A main focus of water managers with regard to micropollutants is the protection of aquatic ecology. However, micropollutants also have the potential to affect the production of clean drinking water. In this paper, we propose to consider the removal effort when assessing micropollutants with an ‘Effort Index’ (EI). Assessments using the EI show which micropollutants need more extensive monitoring or abatement because of their difficulty to be removed using low-effort water purification treatment techniques. For water containing mixtures of micropollutants, the averaged EI values can indicate overall water quality. Data on the removal by different purification treatment techniques are not necessarily available for all micropollutants. Therefore, a set of data-driven indicative removal rules is derived to quantify the relation between micropollutant properties and different drinking water treatment techniques. The indicative removal rules provide a rough indication of removability. As an illustration, the water quality of the river Rhine is evaluated between 2000 and 2018. The EI value shows that the Rhine contains increasingly more difficult-to-remove micropollutants. In total, 18 of those are labeled as particularly difficult-to-remove chemicals. These micropollutants are suggested as candidates for abatement to lower the required effort in drinking water production.

Authors: Bilal Muhammad , Khan Salma , Khan Muhammad Iqbal , Ali Javed , Wahab Abdul , Ismail Muhammad , Akhtar Kalsoom , Bakhsh Esraa M. , Khan Sher Bahadar
Published: June 2023

Background:

Seventy percent of the Earth is covered by water, out of which only 1% is fresh
water. This fresh water can be used for drinking and other domestic uses. However, a drastic increase in
the industrial revolution resulted in depletion of the reservoirs and contamination of the potable fresh
water. Around 3.4 M deaths per annum occur as a result of waterborne diseases.

Objectives:

Therefore, the aim of this study is to establish physical, chemical, and biological parameters
for evaluating contamination in the drinking water of hospitals in the Bannu and Kohat divisions, Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Method:

Eleven different hospitals were selected for the collection of water samples. Total solids, total
dissolved solids, electrical conductivity, and pH were considered significant physical metrics for this
study. The essential and heavy metals were also quantified. Furthermore, biological parameters such as
Escherichia coli (E. coli) content of drinking water were also studied by using membrane filtration.

Results:

The results show that E. coli were detected in nine out of the eleven water samples. Moreover,
some of the physicochemical parameters were not within guideline limits specified by the World Health
and other international organizations.

Conclusions:

E coli in most of the hospital drinking water was more than the WHO permissible level of
the physiochemical parameters. This will have adverse effects on the health of patients which is a serious
threat for the population. Therefore, this investigation provides useful information to the government to take
special precautions for maintaining the quality of the potable water in government and private hospitals.

Published: June 2023

Background:

Transarterial Radioembolization (TARE) is a widespread radiation therapy
for unresectable hepatic lesions, but a clear understanding of the dose-response link is still
missing. The aim of this preliminary study is to investigate the role of both dosimetric and clinical
parameters as classifiers or predictors of response and survival for TARE in hepatic tumors and to
present possible response cut-off.

Methods:

20 patients treated with glass or resin microspheres according to a personalized workflow
were included. Dosimetric parameters were extracted from personalized absorbed dose maps
obtained from the convolution of 90Y PET images with 90Y voxel S-values.

Results:

D95 ≥ 104 Gy and tumor mean absorbed dose MADt ≥ 229 Gy were found to be optimal
cut-off values for complete response, while D30 ≥ 180 Gy and MADt ≥ 117 Gy were selected as
cut-off values for at least partial response and predicted better survival. Clinical parameters Alanine
Transaminase (ALT) and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) didn’t show sufficient
classification capability for response or survival.

Concusion:

These preliminary results highlight the importance of an accurate dosimetric evaluation
and suggest a cautious approach when considering clinical indicators. Dosimetric cut-off values
could be a support tool in both planning and post-treatment phases. Larger multi-centric randomized
trials, with standardized methods regarding patient selection, response criteria, Regions
of Interest definition, dosimetric approach and activity planning are needed to confirm these promising
results.
THE IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL KNOWLEDGE AND SELF-TRANSCENDENCE TOWARD GREEN PURCHASE INTENTION ON STUDENTS
Authors: Qotrunnada Nisrina , Toiba Hery , Laili Fitrotul , Andriani Dwi Retno , Setiawan Budi
Published: June 2023

The increasing number of consumers’ purchase intention on green products can be seen through the rising number of individuals who are willing to pay more for these products, and it proves this problem has attracted the attention of many circles. This article aims to examine what factors can influence the growth of student purchase intention on green products. The expansion of the Theory of Planned Behaviour was carried out to include two factors that are expected to influence student purchase intention, namely environmental knowledge and self-transcendence. Cluster random sampling is used to select samples that previously have been calculated using the Taro Yamane formula and the Parel formula with a total sample size of 136 samples. The results processed with the SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Model - Partial Least Square) showed that environmental knowledge was found to be unable to influence student purchase intention on green products, this is supported by the statement that high knowledge is not always in line with attitudes and practices generated. Self-transcendence was found to affect the growth of student purchase intention in green products, and this can happen because self-transcendence can affect the formation of consumer purchase intention.

Supporting Collaboration in Rehabilitation Trajectories With Information and Communication Technologies: Scoping Review
Authors: Gåsvær Jo Inge , Jepsen Randi , Heldal Ilona , Sudmann Tobba
Published: June 2023

Background

Despite a surge in health information and communication technology (ICT), there is little evidence of lowered cost or increased quality of care. ICT may support patients, health care providers, and other stakeholders through complex rehabilitation trajectories by offering digital platforms for collaboration, shared decision-making, and safe storage of data. Yet, the questions on how ICT can become a useful tool and how the complex intersection between producers and users of ICT should be solved are challenging.

Objective

This study aims to review the literature on how ICTs are used to foster collaboration among the patient, the provider, and other stakeholders.

Methods

This scoping review follows the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. Studies were identified by searching MEDLINE (OVID), Embase (OVID), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), AMED (EBSCOhost), and Scopus. Unpublished studies were extracted from OAIster, Bielefeld Academic Search Engine, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, NARIC, and Google Scholar. Eligible papers addressed or described a remote dialogue between stakeholders using ICT to address goals and means, provide decision support, or evaluate certain treatment modalities within a rehabilitation context. Due to the rapid development of ICTs, searches included studies published in the period of 2018-2022.

Results

In total, 3206 papers (excluding duplicates) were screened. Three papers met all inclusion criteria. The papers varied in design, key findings, and key challenges. These 3 studies reported outcomes such as improvements in activity performance, participation, frequency of leaving the house, improved self-efficacy, change in patients’ perspective on possibilities, and change in professionals’ understanding of patients’ priorities. However, a misfit between the participants’ needs and the technology offered, complexity and lack of availability of the technology, difficulties with implementation and uptake, and lack of flexibility in setup and maintenance reduced the value of ICT for those involved in the studies. The low number of included papers is probably due to the complexity of remote collaboration with ICT.

Conclusions

ICT has the potential to facilitate communication among stakeholders in the complex and collaborative context of rehabilitation trajectories. This scoping review indicates that there is a paucity of research considering remote ICT-supported collaboration in health care and rehabilitation trajectories. Furthermore, current ICT builds on eHealth literacy, which may differ among stakeholders, and the lack of sufficient eHealth literacy and ICT knowledge creates barriers for access to health care and rehabilitation. Lastly, the aim and results of this review are probably most relevant in high-income countries.
Strengthening Social Capital to Address Isolation and Loneliness in Long-Term Care Facilities During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Systematic Review of Research on Information and Communication Technologies
Authors: Beogo Idrissa , Sia Drissa , Collin Stephanie , Phaelle Gedeon Andi , Louismé Michaël-Christopher , Ramdé Jean , Gagnon Marie-Pierre , Tchouaket Nguemeleu Eric
Published: June 2023

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately and severely affected older adults, namely those living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). Aside from experiencing high mortality rates, survivors were critically concerned by social isolation and loneliness (SIL). To address this serious public health concern and stay connected with LTCF residents, information and communication technology (ICT) platforms (eg, video calls) were used as an alternative to maintaining social interactions amid the visiting restriction policy.

Objective

This paper aimed to synthesize the effects of ICT-related communication interventions using SMS text messaging or chat, video, voice mail, or photo to address SIL in LTCF residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

In total, 2793 references published in English and French in 2019 and onward were obtained from 10 relevant databases: PsycINFO-Ovid, Ovid-MEDLINE, CINAHL-EBSCO, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, DirectScience, Communication & Mass Media Complete, IEEE Xplore, and ACM Digital Library. A 2-person screening approach was used, and the studies were screened independently and blindly. A narrative synthesis was performed to interpret the results of the included studies, and their quality was appraised.

Results

In total, 4 studies were included in the review. ICT-related applications were used to ensure connectedness to address SIL. ICT interventions consisted mainly of videoconferencing, intergroup video call sessions between residents, and chatting (SMS text messages and phone calls). Roughly 3 classes of mediating ICT tools were used: video calls using software applications (eg, Skype); robot systems embedding video telephones; and ordinary telecommunication such as telephone, internet, social media platforms, and videoconferencing. This review has included the role of humanoid robots in LTCFs as an innovation avenue because of their multipurpose use (eg, communication tools and remotely operable).

Conclusions

Remote social capitalization through ICT applications has become an avenue to reduce SIL among LTCF residents. This review examined a social connection approach that will remain relevant and even be fostered after the COVID-19 pandemic. As families remain the main stakeholders of LTCFs, this study’s findings could inform policy makers and frontline managers to better shape programs and initiatives to prevent or reduce SIL in LTCFs.

Potential and Limitations of ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0 as a Source of COVID-19 Information: Comprehensive Comparative Analysis of Generative and Authoritative Information (Preprint)
Authors: Wang Guoyong , Gao Kai , Liu Qianyang , Wu Yuxin , Zhang Kaijun , Zhou Wei , Guo Chunbao
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has necessitated reliable and authoritative information for public guidance. The World Health Organization (WHO) has been a primary source of such information, disseminating it through a question and answer format on its official website. Concurrently, ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0, a deep learning-based natural language generation system, has shown potential in generating diverse text types based on user input.

OBJECTIVE

This study evaluates the accuracy of COVID-19 information generated by ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0, assessing its potential as a supplementary public information source during the pandemic.

METHODS

We extracted 487 COVID-19–related questions from the WHO’s official website and used ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0 to generate corresponding answers. These generated answers were then compared against the official WHO responses for evaluation. Two clinical experts scored the generated answers on a scale of 0-5 across 4 dimensions—accuracy, comprehensiveness, relevance, and clarity—with higher scores indicating better performance in each dimension. The WHO responses served as the reference for this assessment. Additionally, we used the BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) model to generate similarity scores (0-1) between the generated and official answers, providing a dual validation mechanism.

RESULTS

The mean (SD) scores for ChatGPT 3.5–generated answers were 3.47 (0.725) for accuracy, 3.89 (0.719) for comprehensiveness, 4.09 (0.787) for relevance, and 3.49 (0.809) for clarity. For ChatGPT 4.0, the mean (SD) scores were 4.15 (0.780), 4.47 (0.641), 4.56 (0.600), and 4.09 (0.698), respectively. All differences were statistically significant (P<.001), with ChatGPT 4.0 outperforming ChatGPT 3.5. The BERT model verification showed mean (SD) similarity scores of 0.83 (0.07) for ChatGPT 3.5 and 0.85 (0.07) for ChatGPT 4.0 compared with the official WHO answers.

CONCLUSIONS

ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0 can generate accurate and relevant COVID-19 information to a certain extent. However, compared with official WHO responses, gaps and deficiencies exist. Thus, users of ChatGPT 3.5 and 4.0 should also reference other reliable information sources to mitigate potential misinformation risks. Notably, ChatGPT 4.0 outperformed ChatGPT 3.5 across all evaluated dimensions, a finding corroborated by BERT model validation.
Sepsis Prediction at Emergency Department Triage Using Natural Language Processing: Retrospective Cohort Study (Preprint)
Authors: Brann Felix , Sterling Nicholas William , Frisch Stephanie O , Schrager Justin D
Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND

Despite its high lethality, sepsis can be difficult to detect on initial presentation to the emergency department (ED). Machine learning–based tools may provide avenues for earlier detection and lifesaving intervention.

OBJECTIVE

The study aimed to predict sepsis at the time of ED triage using natural language processing of nursing triage notes and available clinical data.

METHODS

We constructed a retrospective cohort of all 1,234,434 consecutive ED encounters in 2015-2021 from 4 separate clinically heterogeneous academically affiliated EDs. After exclusion criteria were applied, the final cohort included 1,059,386 adult ED encounters. The primary outcome criteria for sepsis were presumed severe infection and acute organ dysfunction. After vectorization and dimensional reduction of triage notes and clinical data available at triage, a decision tree–based ensemble (time-of-triage) model was trained to predict sepsis using the training subset (n=950,921). A separate (comprehensive) model was trained using these data and laboratory data, as it became available at 1-hour intervals, after triage. Model performances were evaluated using the test (n=108,465) subset.

RESULTS

Sepsis occurred in 35,318 encounters (incidence 3.45%). For sepsis prediction at the time of patient triage, using the primary definition, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and macro F1-score for sepsis were 0.94 and 0.61, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, and false positive rate were 0.87, 0.85, and 0.15, respectively. The time-of-triage model accurately predicted sepsis in 76% (1635/2150) of sepsis cases where sepsis screening was not initiated at triage and 97.5% (1630/1671) of cases where sepsis screening was initiated at triage. Positive and negative predictive values were 0.18 and 0.99, respectively. For sepsis prediction using laboratory data available each hour after ED arrival, the AUC peaked to 0.97 at 12 hours. Similar results were obtained when stratifying by hospital and when Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hospital toolkit for adult sepsis surveillance criteria were used to define sepsis. Among septic cases, sepsis was predicted in 36.1% (1375/3814), 49.9% (1902/3814), and 68.3% (2604/3814) of encounters, respectively, at 3, 2, and 1 hours prior to the first intravenous antibiotic order or where antibiotics where not ordered within the first 12 hours.

CONCLUSIONS

Sepsis can accurately be predicted at ED presentation using nursing triage notes and clinical information available at the time of triage. This indicates that machine learning can facilitate timely and reliable alerting for intervention. Free-text data can improve the performance of predictive modeling at the time of triage and throughout the ED course.

An Investigation into Students’ Perceptions on the use of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in EFL Classes
Authors: Myo Aye Pa Pa
Published: June 2023

Language is a tool for communication between two people or among the people. English is a global language and it is used as a common language in some countries and as an official language in some countries. English is used as a medium of language in classes of some countries in which English is still used as a foreign language. There are two previous papers in which the respective researchers studied the drawbacks and benefits of using English as the medium of language. Based on these studies, the researcher studied the perceptions of the students on the use of using English as a medium of instruction in EFL classes. The title of this research is “An Investigation into Students’ Perceptions on the Use of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in EFL Classes”. The main purpose of doing this research is to reveal benefits and drawbacks of using English as a medium of instruction in EFL classes. It took a semester. The researcher used a sampling method. Thirty first year English major specialization students, fifteen first year Economics major specialization students and fifty-eight second year Physics major specialization students were used as the participants in this research.

Fault-Tolerant Routing for Wireless Sensor Networks using a Gaussian Network
Authors: Velmurugan M.
Published: June 2023

Abstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are utilised for sensing various physical and environmental variables like temperature, pressure, motion, and pollution. A component of a network to continue operating even when some sensor nodes fail is regarded as fault tolerance in wireless sensor networks. Due to battery life deadlines and the challenges associated with charging or replacing failing nodes, the deployment of sensor nodes in the target area is done in a dense manner to maximise coverage and connection. This paper implements a hybrid fault-tolerant routing methodology to address the problem of fault tolerance in hierarchical topology for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The network location is partitioned into small square grids, with a Gaussian integer serving as each grid's cluster head. A Gaussian network is created through communicating these cluster heads together. Discovering the Gaussian network's shortest path and multi-path routing, the project implements a hybrid Fault-tolerant Clustering routing protocol based on Gaussian network for Wireless Sensor Network (FCGW). The purpose of FCGW is to improve fault tolerance and reduce energy consumption for Wireless Sensor Networks. Experimental results using MATLAB shows that FCGW protocol has high data reliability. In addition, the FCGW protocol consumes lesser energy in the network compared to other protocols namely FT-LEACH, HEED and PSO-UFC

Abstract: The transport sector now has a significant impact on both the economies of developed and developing nations The frame, also known as the chassis, is the main part of the vehicle because it has the highest design stress. This is vehicle support as all components are only supported on the chassis. Using the chassis as a platform, the front and rear suspensions are connected without dropping. At the same time, it can also be used for sudden stops, bumpy roads, and high-speed driving. It has sufficient rigidity to withstand impact, deflection, bending, vibration and shape deformation caused by causes. Scientific data obtained from various studies to date, weight, stress and strength, deformation, etc. have proven to be ideal for many factors. This can be done by changing the section and material of the chassis frame. The material chosen for this project is AISI4130 for LPO 1613 CNG BS-IV OBDII Front Engine Bus for Delhi Integrated Intermodal Transport System (DIMTS). Create 3D models in CAE Solid-works and analyze them with ANSYS 19.2. Automotive composite CNG cylinders are the best combination of the latest technology using carbon fiber reinforced seamless aluminum inner liner

The PjBL-STEAM model of wetland contexts is a learning model that can improve students' critical thinking and self-efficacy skills. It is carried out by utilizing the wetland environment as a medium for learning electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions. This study aims to determine the improvement of students’ critical thinking and self-efficacy through the PjBL-STEAM model in the context of wetlands. This present study employed quasi-experimental experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest research design. The participants were obtained through convenient sampling with the inclusive criteria of students of class X MIA 3 at SMAN 3 Barabai. The data were obtained through critical thinking tests and self-efficacy questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed through descriptive analysis. The results showed that the PjBL-STEAM model in the wetland context could improve the critical thinking ability and self-efficacy of students with an N-gain value of critical thinking ability of 0.58, with a moderate category and N-gain self-efficacy of 0.75 with a high category. In other words, applying the PjBL-STEAM model in wetland contexts effectively improves students' critical thinking and self-efficacy skills.

Penelitian ini dimaksudkan sebagai studi awal untuk mengetahui implikasi disartria fonem /r/ trill terhadap kualitas fonem konsonan lainnya yang diproduksi pada tempat artikulasi yang sama. Penelitian dirancang menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif-kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode lapangan. Data berupa fonem konsonan dan vokal yang dihasilkan oleh 4 sampel disartria dan 4 sampel non-disartria dikumpulkan dengan metode simak. Data yang terkumpul kemudian dianalisis dengan metode padan ekstralingual dan intralingual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa apabila tempat artikulasi suatu bunyi mengalami masalah, maka masalah tersebut akan memengaruhi semua bunyi yang dihasilkan di tempat tersebut. Dengan bermasalahnya produksi fonem /r/ alveolar trill pada penderita disartria, hal ini berimplikasi terhadap produksi bunyi alveolar lainnya, yakni /t/ dan /d/ yang menjadi lebih lemah dan sengau.
