Published: February 2023

This research aims to analyze the interactions related to the identification and validation of grief in Facebook groups whose purpose is to give support to those who are grieving. A qualitative content analysis of 1,816 comments in three Facebook groups on mourning, published between February 23 and March 23, 2020, was conducted. The comments were grouped into 456 digital interactions between group members, from which the analytic categories “identification with other‘s grief” and “validation of other‘s grief“ were constructed. Among the results of the research, it was found that identification with grief among users of the social network is a recurrent type of emotional support. Identification generates the perception that one‘s own emotional experiences related to grief are shared with others. Validation of grief is another form of support, as it invites users to express their emotions and recognize the grief involved in the mourning process. These two processes, identification and, validation, are at the core of the guidance that users are offered to mitigate their grief. Online groups provide an opportunity for people going through similar experiences of grief to find shared expressions of identification with and validation of their grief, which are fundamental processes of social support.

Men’s image projection through discourse analysis
Authors: A. Alada Joanne
Published: February 2023

Speech acts are utterances that serve a function in communication. These speech acts were used to describe men’s images who are members of a fraternity. Fraternities exist due to the ideology of gender polarization. Power is central to men’s identities and this power is displayed through language use. This study investigated how language is used by the members of a fraternity to identify and assess men’s image and social status. It used a qualitative design using discourse analysis. This was done through transcribing and deconstructing a conversation or piece of text. The participants of the study were the members of a community-based fraternity group composed of college students, with ages ranging from 19-26 years old. Among the 40 members, there were at least eight members who were consistently present in three contexts of conversations: meetings, bonding sessions, and social gatherings, and were selected as participants of this study. The collection of data was done through recordings of men’s conversations with their consent. The data analysis procedure began with the recording of the conversations which were transcribed according to Kiesling’s (2008) transcription conventions. The researcher identified features in the text, such as themes in the text, especially those that relate to men’s images. A tape recorder was used to capture the actual words spoken by the participants and the transcription of data. This study suggested that behavior in the form of speech acts consistently manifested itself as an attribute of personality traits and the words men use to weave the images of who they are or are not.

Published: February 2023

This study aims to empirically examine consumer behavior based on customer transaction history. Analyzing consumer behavior can provide very useful information for businesses in making decisions, particularly business decisions toward customers, in order to survive in such intense competition.Companies are becoming faster and more precise in reading environmental conditions and predicting what conditions may occur as a result of machine learning technology.This technology can also assist companies in making decisions that are more targeted according to actual secondary data provided for research. One of the machine learning methods, unsupervised learning, can help explicitly identify hidden structures or patterns in data and determine correlations. This method uses the Exclusive Clustering method, using two algorithms, namely, K-Means and K-Medoids, to use the comparison method to get optimal segmentation results. The results obtained are expected to be a reference for making a change in the company's marketing policy in order to retain and gain customers who are constantly decreasing.
K-Means Cluster Algorithm for Grouping Inequality in Regional Development
Authors: Munandar Tb Ai , Handayani Dwipa
Published: February 2023

Unsupervised learning is a subset of machine learning. Many unsupervised learning algorithms are used to solve various problems, especially the extraction of hidden data patterns. One of the problems that concerns unsupervised tasks is clustering. Clustering techniques are widely used for data grouping needs, one of which is development inequality clustering. The classification of development inequality is an important consideration in a country's regional development strategy. However, development groupings often do not pay attention to the hidden information aspects of the data, so they do not get the appropriate results. This research was conducted to provide an additional alternative in the realm of development inequality clustering, namely by classifying development data using the k-means algorithm. The data used is GRDP data for 41 regions in the western part of Java Island for the 2010–2021 range. The results show that the forty-one regions are grouped into four clusters. The first cluster (C1) contains 35 regions, the second cluster (C2) contains three regions, the third cluster (C3) contains four regions, and the fourth cluster (C4) contains three regions. Based on the cluster results, it can be seen that all members of cluster C4 are areas with the best level of development, while cluster C1 is the area with the lowest level of development. As for clusters C2 and C3, these are areas with development levels between clusters C1 and C4. The grouping results can be used by policymakers or local governments to determine the direction of future development priorities based on the cluster with the lowest level of development.

Authors: Luján-Irastorza Jesús Estuardo
Published: February 2023

Aneuploidies are alterations that affect the number of chromosomes. Historically, a combination of markers has been used that includes: maternal age, concentrations of biochemical markers and ultrasonographic markers during pregnancy, as well as screening in the first trimester in order to detect Trisomy 21 (T21).Objective:To identify if biochemical markers such as Pregnancy Associated Placental Protein A (PAPP-A) and Beta human Chorionic Gonadotropin (β-hCG) are altered by complications during pregnancy and if this leads to an increased risk of developing T21 in pregnant women with healthy babies (combined test).Material and method:Retrospective, observational and cross-sectional study, included 73 pregnant women. Anthropometric data from the mother and the newborn were collected. A combined test was performed in the 1st trimester and biochemical markers were recorded in maternal serum (β-hCG AND PAPP-A) and ultrasonographic markers [Nuchal Translucency (NT)]. In addition, the evaluation of Cell-Free Fetal DNA (cffDNA) in peripheral blood was performed to identify aneuploidies and a pathological study of the placenta.Results:In the group of patients with intermediate risk for T21, there was a higher prevalence of complications during pregnancy [fetal growth restriction (4.5%), preterm labor (4.5%), miscarriage (9.09%) and death (9.09%). In the same way, patients with intermediate risk presented a higher prevalence of placental alterations such as calcifications, atrophy, congested dilated vessels, hemorrhage, hematomas, Chorioangioma, extravasation of erythrocytes and villus infarcts.

Conclusions:The development of placental alterations and the presence of complications in pregnancy could modify the peripheral blood concentrations of β-hCG and PAPP-A, and alter the results of the combined test for T21.
