Authors: Jamil Mohamad , Warsito Budi , Wibowo Adi , Kiswanto Kiswanto
Published: October 2023

Diabetes Mellitus is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous metabolic disorder with manifestations of loss of carbohydrate tolerance characterized by high blood glucose levels as a result of insulin insufficiency. Public knowledge of diabetes mellitus 39.30% is influenced by public health education and information about diabetes mellitus that the public has ever received. Early detection of diabetes mellitus can prevent the development of chronic complications and allow timely and rapid treatment. The aim of this study is to simulate the early detection of diabetes mellitus with the K-Nearest Neighbors (K-NN) algorithm using Cloud-Base Runtime (COLAB). The highest accuracy is 76% in K=3, the highest precision is 68% in K=3 and the highest recall is 60% in K=3.  The researchers used K-NN as a method to classify data from the Pima Indians Diabetes Database and obtained a fairly good accuracy value of 76% with a value of k = 3.

Published: October 2023

To get a large profit in a company or business is to determine sales predictions for the next period. Prediction or forecasting is one of the keys to the success of sales because the predicted value of sales can be used as a reference to determine the order of goods, so there is no loss. Exponential smoothing method is a fairly superior forecasting method in long-term, medium-term and short-term forecasting. The data to be processed is sales data for the 2020-2022 period. The single exponential smoothing method was chosen because it can determine sales predictions for the next period with the smallest error value. The evaluation method used is MAPE, ME, MAD and MSE where this forecasting method is used to find the smallest error value. Based on the calculation results, the smallest error value obtained is ME at 62.8, MAD at 179.9, MSE at 55564.5, and MAPE at 9.20%. The value is at alpha 0.3. The next stage is to design a prediction system using the out-systems platform version 11.14.1 as a place to design the system. The test results of the system that has been designed to assist business owners in making decisions on product inventory estimates.

Published: October 2023

Indonesia, with its very large population, is a potential market for drugs trafficking. Hence, seriousness is needed in cracking down or preventing drug trafficking. Narcotics are substances or drugs that can cause dependence or addicted and other negative impacts on users. The problem is that drug users do not realize and even ignore diseases caused by drug addiction. The diseases can be life-threatening for users, such as inflammation of the liver, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and others. The prevalence rate of drug abuse in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) is included in the high category, reaching 292 cases or around 37.24% cases. This study aimed to create an application that can classify various diseases of drug users using the naïve bayes and KNN methods. The results of this study indicated that there was a very close relationship between drug users and various deadly diseases. The prediction results showed that the naive bayes method provided a prediction accuracy of 94.5% while the KNN showed a prediction accuracy of 92.5%. This shows that the naive bayes method provides better predictive performance than the KNN in the data set of drug addicts in NTB.

Published: October 2023

Floods are a common disaster in watersheds, and flood control is difficult. However, losses can be reduced by quickly disseminating alert status information. This paper proposes a prototype of a monitoring system that can determine the status of flood alerts in real time and quickly disseminating to the community, allowing people to be better prepared for flood disasters. The system was developed using the RD method and consists of hardware and software development. The hardware comprises several sensor modules to read the discharge, temperature, humidity, and water level and to transmit the readings to the software. The software is divided into two applications: a website application and a Telegram application. The public can find the flood alert status history data from the website and obtain flood alert status warning messages and the latest alert status from Telegram. The results of the tests indicated that the sensors were very accurate, with a MAPE value of less than 10%. The software test also showed that the input and output were according to design. The proposed system can potentially reduce flood losses by providing early warning information to the community. The system is also scalable and adaptable to other watersheds.

Published: October 2023

Support Vector Regression (SVR) is a supervised learning algorithm to predict continuous variable values. The basic goal of the SVR algorithm is to find the most suitable decision line. SVR has been successfully applied to several issues in time series prediction. In this research, SVR is used to predict the price of staple commodity, which are constantly changing in price at any time due to several factors making it difficult for the public to get groceries that are easy to reach. National staple commodity data consisting of 17 commodities, including shallots, honan garlic, kating garlic, medium rice, premium rice, red cayenne peppers, curly red chilies, red chili peppers, meat of broiler chicken, beef hamstrings, granulated sugar, imported soybeans, bulk cooking oil, premium packaged cooking oil, simple packaged cooking oil, broiler chicken eggs, and wheat flour. With a data set for the last 3 years, including from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022. There are 3 variables in the data set, namely commodity, date, and price. This research divides the entire dataset into 80% training and 20% testing data. The results of this research show that SVR using the RBF kernel produces good forecasting accuracy for all datasets with an average Mean Square Error (MSE) training data of 6,005 while data testing is 6,062, Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) of training data is 6,730 while data testing is 6.6831, Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) training data is 0.0148 while data testing is 0.0147, and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) training data is 7.772 while data testing is 7.746.

Published: October 2023

The SOLAP system for Indonesian Agricultural Commodities is a successful development based on previous studies. Agricultural commodity data are managed in a data warehouse with a galactic schema, which has 7 fact tables, namely cut flower horticulture, ornamental plant horticulture, horticulture, food crops, plantation, livestock population, and livestock production, as well as 3 dimensional tables, namely location, time, and commodity. The results of SOLAP operations on the system can be visualized in the form of crosstabs, graphs and maps. The system uses a web platform so that it can be accessed by the public. However, the SOLAP system cannot update data in real time. This study aims to develop a data warehouse for Indonesian Agricultural Commodities SOLAP in real time by creating a scraping system. This study has succeeded in developing a data warehouse in real time on the indonesian agricultural commodity SOLAP system by creating a real time scraping system that is applied to the SOLAP server and has succeeded in making the ETL process run in real time on the SOLAP server and optimizing polygon-based spatial data visualization using the Douglas-Peucker. This study has also carried out functional testing of OLAP features and functions on the Indonesian Agricultural Commodity SOLAP system using the black box testing method. The results of this study provide accurate and real-time data on the SOLAP of Indonesian Agricultural Commodities, with the results of SOLAP feature testing achieving 100 percent pass and the data conformity test results of OLAP function as expected. In addition, the results of this study make it possible to automatically update the data according to a predetermined schedule to provide real-time information.

Exposure to any type of noise has a potential risk. Higher the level of noise and longer duration of exposure, more the risk for hearing sensitivity and health as a whole. Occupational noise induced hearing loss (ONIHL) is a major cause of disability throughout the world. So this study was designed to know the prevalence of NIHL among the noise exposed industrial workers in Bangladesh. A prospective observational study of 377 People working at industrial environment in Jute mills at Faridpur region were studied between January 2021 to June 2021. Data collected from each respondent recorded on a predesigned data collection form. Pure tone audiometry was performed in both ears. Among 377 study population, 157(41.6%) subjects had hearing loss and 220 subjects (58.4%) had no loss. Among the workers with hearing loss, 98(62.4%) got hearing loss on both sides, 32(20.4%) on the right side and 27(17.2%) on the left side. Among them 83(52.9%) had mild hearing loss, 37(23.6%) had moderate hearing loss, 31(19.7%) had severe hearing loss and 6(3.8%) had profound hearing loss. The average duration of work in the industry was 6.94±5.64 years and majority (78.5%) had 8 hours working hour per day and 21.5% had more than 8 hours. The average sound intensity was 91.51±8.12 dB(A) with 10.9% exposed to <_85 dB(A) and 89.1% to >85 dB(A). This study shows Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL)as highly prevalent among noise-exposed workers in Bangladesh. Age >35 years, high noise level, exposure of more than 10 years, were significantly associated with increased risk of hearing loss. The local and national authority should focus on noise monitoring, engineering modifications of buildings and machinery, occupational safety policies, administrative controls, providing education on NIHL, periodic audiometric assessments and follow-up evaluation for hearing threshold shift. This study supported the elements for further research studies related to the employer compliance with occupational health and safety regulations to address awareness of their responsibility in minimizing hazards in workplaces.

On the Will to Be Free in Spite of History: Tran Duc Thao and the Activist Roots of “French” Postcolonialism, 1944-1951
Authors: Ankoné Dominique
Published: October 2023

Between 1944 and 1951 a brilliant young philosopher from Vietnam addressed the Parisian public by means of activism and philosophical writing to teach them about the experience of colonial rule. This paper will answer the main question as to what Tran Duc Thao taught the Parisian intellectual scene concerning colonialism, freedom and democracy. To this end this paper investigates Tran Duc Thao’s activist attempt to rally the French public to the cause of decolonization. It will discuss how Tran Duc Thao’s activism shaped his anticolonial philosophy. The essay compares Tran Duc Thao’s conception of decolonial freedom to Jean-Paul-Sartre’s existentialist conception of freedom. The most important findings of this paper are first that Tran Duc Thao considered capitalism and colonialism to be related phenomena exploiting conscripts of modernity in a broad sense. Second, that his anticolonial philosophy was a means to explain why people in France did not understand this. Third, that Tran Duc Thao’s philosophy of freedom better fits contemporary postcolonial philosophy and environmental philosophy. While Tran Duc Thao’s work became obscured, he was nevertheless responsible for introducing anticolonial activism in the French university. His concept of the imperial horizon is a powerful tool for historians to understand why so many Europeans failed to support the wish for freedom and democracy of colonial peoples after WW II.
Constructing Memory Through Communal Praying: How the Orders of Service of Special Occasions Contribute to the Functioning of Amsterdam's Esnoga as a Site of Memory
Authors: Uittenbogaard Marjolein
Published: October 2023

This article discusses the function of Amsterdam’s Portuguese Synagogue (Esnoga) as a site of memory for the Sephardic community. Besides providing a historiography of this community in Amsterdam and discussing the postwar development of the memory of the Holocaust in the Netherlands, concepts from memory studies and a framework for psalm analysis are employed to analyze the communal praying in three of the Esnoga’s Orders of Service of special occasions from the period 1961 (the Eichmann trial) until 1989 (the fall of the Berlin Wall). This analysis illustrates how the Esnoga is a space in which the Sephardic community can performatively engage with their collective shared knowledge of the past: the mythic past as well as the recent past of the Holocaust. In this way, memories are constructed and expressed which constitute the group’s sense of unity and identity. The memorialization of the past and visions for the future are reconstructed in the Orders of Service in four ways: the psalms and prayers transmit memories over generations; the act of communal praying continually invests the psalms and prayers with new meanings; they provide a distinct, Godly view of reality; and they structure a feeling of communality across time and space. The communal praying in the Orders thus illustrates how the Esnoga allows for the transmission of memories through external symbols by acting as a site of memory in which the identity of the Sephardic community is expressed, transmitted, and affirmed.
War on the Posthuman: Narrative as Resistance and the Reinvention of the Self in Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go
Authors: Katsorchi Stavroula Anastasia
Published: October 2023

Within a world of grand narratives, testimonies from the margins carry the potential to rewrite history. Through an examination of Kazuo Ishiguro’s renowned novel Never Let Me Go, which places an emphasis on the posthuman subject, this paper approaches the documentation of one’s experiences as a revolutionary act. The memoir kept by the cloned protagonist Kathy H. not only sheds light on the inhuman practices exercised by the state, but it also provides a fictional space for the self to be perpetuated. When one’s fate is decided beforehand, when the potential of identity development is confined, the documentation of one’s experiences constitutes a subversive act that allows the subject to regain control over their self-realization. This is portrayed through the interplay between the narrating, the experiencing, and the narrated self, whose interdependence can be translated into the fluidity of identity. The physical body is complemented and sometimes even replaced by the textual body, while the self is liberated within the ongoing process of becoming offered by the imaginative and reconstructing act of autobiographical narration. Ultimately, the preservation of one’s memories constitutes an act of agency that illuminates the dark, silenced side of history.
From Roost to Rookery: Environmental Memory in Mark Cocker’s Crow Country
Authors: Vos Pauw
Published: October 2023

This article expands Lawrence Buell’s notion of environmental memory beyond its seemingly singular focus on the natural environment in relation to the human. It does so by paying close attention to the nonhuman animals that also inhabit these spaces. As our understanding of animals becomes ever more complex, it becomes clear that they each have a specific subjective relation with, and memories of, the environments they inhabit. These more-than-human memories also deserve our recognition and understanding and can help us formulate a less anthropocentric approach to memory studies. Mark Cocker’s Crow Country, a seminal piece of British New Nature Writing, consequently allows us to imagine where such a more-than-human memory can begin and what it could look like. In his book, he reflects at length on the entanglement of landscape with both human and crow memory. By reading his text alongside Jamie Lorimer’s idea of affective logics and Diana Taylor’s conception of the ephemeral repertoire, we can not only see how humans act and remember in relation to other beings, but also what the role of literature might be in these more-than-human interactions.
Space Nostalgia in The Old Drift: Memorializing Matha Mwamba, the Afronaut
Authors: Menzel Maria
Published: October 2023

In the two former Cold War superpowers, the USA and the Soviet Union, memorializations of the space race serve as sites of nostalgia, fueling feelings of national pride. This paper investigates this in a Zambian context by analyzing how the history of Zambia’s participation in the space race is fictionalized in Namwali Serpell's novel The Old Drift. The novel creates a fictionalized account of the childhood and adolescence of Zambia's first female Afronaut, Matha Mwamba, filling the silence in the archives regarding the life of this marginalized historical figure. Significantly, Serpell uses the form of the Bildungsroman when reimaging Matha's private history, framing Zambia's period of transition from British colony to independent nation state as one of upheaval and transformation. In mourning the lost future of Zambia's failed space program, the narrative engages in reflective nostalgia as defined by Svetlana Boym. Any narratives of progress are merged with tales of personal hardship. A critically nostalgic approach allows Serpell to illustrate how past visions of the future can serve as inspirations for the present.
KYIVAN METROPOLITANATE GENERAL PROCURATOR IN ROME OF 1760–1772, FR IGNATIUS VOLODZKO’S ASSISTANCE CONCERNING THE CANONICAL CREATION OF THE MUKACHEVO EPARCHY
Authors: MOROZ Volodymyr
Published: October 2023

The paper describes the Kyivan Metropolitanate Basilian general procurators’ in Rome activities to support the Mukachevo eparchy during the 17–18 centuries. The author studies the vectors and forms of this work by analyzing sources. The direct aim of this investigation is to examine the engagement of Fr Ignatius Volodzko OSBM, the general Basilian procurator of 1760–1772, in the case of canonical erection of the Mukachevo Eparchy of Byzantine Rite and its emancipation from the Eger Diocese of Latin Rite control.

The historian ascertained that Fr Volodzko systematically communicated with the Mukachevo bishop Manuel Olshavsky. Fr Volodzko contacted Roman Apostolic Holy See officials to defend the Mukachevo Eparchy’s rights and interests and to speed up the official canonic erection of it in 1771. The researcher reconstructed a list of cardinals and dignitaries in close contact with Fr Volodzko and defined problems they had helped resolve. He also characterized Fr Volodzko’s recommendations to the bishop concerning the struggle for the Eparchy canonical erection in Vienna and Rome. Henceforth the author anatomized and published in attachments two of Fr Volodzko’s letters to bishop Olshavsky from 1766. This correspondence complements the research with information about many events and details during the Mukachevo Eparchy's contention for liberation from the Eger Diocese's “wardship.”

The author concludes that the Basilian general procurator in Rome, who indeed officially represented the whole Kyivan Metropolitanate, at the same time was the Mukachevo bishop's deputy in Rome. Bishop Olshavsky trusted Fr Volodzko highly and delegated him largescale authority. As a result, this general procurator and the Kyivan Metropolitanate helped the Mukachevo Eparchy preserve itself and ensure future development.

Keywords: Kyivan Metropolitanate, Mukachevo eparchy, Basilian Order of St Josaphat, Manuel Olshavsky, Ivan Bradach, Andrii Bachynskyi, Ignatius Volodzko.
THE IMAGE OF RUTHENIANS AND UKRAINIAN LANDS AS PART OF AUSTRIA-HUNGARY IN THE REPRESENTATION OF THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPER «THE NEW YORK TIMES» (1870–1900)
Authors: KUSHPETA Roman
Published: October 2023

The image of Western Ukrainian lands and Ukrainians (Ruthenians) in the American press is revealed based on the materials of the newspaper «The New York Times». The article shows how this American newspaper covered the events related to Eastern Galicia, Bukovyna and Transcarpathia in the last third of the 19th century. There was traditionally no analysis in such news, which prevented readers from forming a full-fledged image of the western Ukrainian lands. It was found that the American newspaper most often focused attention on Lviv among all other Ukrainian cities. Other cities were mentioned much less frequently.

It was found that western Ukrainian lands were most often mentioned in materials related to politics, crime, education and various disasters. In addition, the reader could learn something about Galicia and Bukovyna from notes devoted to interesting facts and comic incidents.

Analyzing the representation of Ruthenians and their political life in the newspaper's columns, it was found that «The New York Times» published news that mainly related to political life. The editors of the American edition were hardly interested in the subjects of Ruthenian culture, life, history, and religion. Among the political news related to the Ruthenians, the topic of elections in Austria-Hungary dominated. It was found that the American press did not write about the Ukrainophile movement, and the information about the RURP (the first Ukrainian political party) was limited to only one mention. The emphasis was mainly on the Russophile movement and its conflicts with the Austrian authorities. The news concerning the Russophiles was devoted to their arrests and the pan-Slavist agitation they were conducting. It is important to note that the political programs and ideas of Galician Russophiles were not described.

The article concludes that the reader, based on the materials published in «The New York Times», could learn that the Ruthenians (Ukrainians) are a separate nation with its own political elite. Despite this, the newspaper did not provide enough factual materials, as well as analytical articles for the reader to form an objective and complete image of the western Ukrainian lands. It is shown that «The New York Times» did not provide information about the cultural and political contacts of Galician Ruthenians and Dnieper Ukrainians. In addition, the contemporary social problems of the Ruthenians, as well as their causes, were not sufficiently covered. All the previously mentioned factors contributed to the formation of an unreliable and patchy image of the Ruthenians of Galicia, Bukovyna and Transcarpathia.

Keywords; «The New York Times», press, Bukovyna, Galicia, Transcarpathia, Western Ukrainian lands, Ruthenians (Ukrainians).
Justice and Fairness in Academia: Are Women Underrepresented/Underpaid in Engineering and Science Fields? Comparing 2018 and 2021 Data
Authors: Nichols Samira , McKinzie Kaye , Barber Carla
Published: October 2023

Although the U.S. government has made significant efforts to achieve gender equality, there still are some gender-based differences in worker compensation. This study investigates the existence of salary disparity by sex, academic rank, pre/during-COVID pandemic, and size of universities within Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs. We base our empirical analysis on data gathered from the faculty of 4-year public universities in one state in the south-central U.S. in 2018 and 2021. We use factorial N-way ANOVA to control for faculty heterogeneity. Our analysis showed size, rank, year, and sex are all significant factors. Smaller universities pay less than larger public universities, the more senior tenured ranks make more, and pay did increase from 2018 to 2021. There are interesting findings when considering sex, as men earned more than women in STEM in both 2018 and 2021 as well as at all three school sizes. The exception was for full professors. Our study provides fresh insights into the gender pay gap, especially in male-dominated academic disciplines.

‘to hesitate to die to death’: Reading Augustine and the After-life in Echo’s Bones
Authors: Stewart Paul
Published: October 2023

Echo's Bones was Beckett's first attempt at delineating a post-mortem scenario and the allusive presence of St. Augustine's Confessions played a pivotal role in that endeavour. This article examines the various methodological difficulties of analysing Beckett's notetaking from Augustine and subsequent use in the story. It is argued that two key notions emerge from Beckett's allusions to Augustine in the text: a conception of death as dependent on relations with God (one is only fully alive within the grace of God) and the need for God's help to remain continent and to turn away from the demands of desire. As such, the article gives an early indication of Beckett's later concerns with ontological questions of death-in-life and life-in-death.

İdari yargılama usulünde yazılı yargılama usulü geçerlidir. Yazılı yargılama usulünün geçerli olması nedeniyle dava dilekçelerinin de birtakım özellikler taşıması gerekmektedir. Dava dilekçesinde bulunması gereken özelliklerin neler olduğu hususu 2577 sayılı Kanun’un 3. maddesinde düzenlenmiştir. Aynı şekilde tek dilekçeyle birden fazla idari işleme karşı dava açılabilecek haller ile birden fazla kişinin tek dilekçeyle dava açabileceği haller de 2577 sayılı Kanun’un 5. maddesinde düzenlenmiştir. Anılan düzenlemelere aykırı dilekçeler hakkında mahkemece dilekçenin reddine karar verilecektir. Dilekçenin reddi kararında belirtilen eksikliklerin giderilmemesi ise davanın reddine karar verilmesi gibi neticeler doğurabilmektedir. Bu nedenle gereksiz veya hatalı verilen dilekçenin reddi kararları davacıların hak arama özgürlüğü, adil yargılanma hakkı ve mahkemeye erişim hakkının engellenmesine de neden olabilmektedir.

Literacy Practices in Contrast: Adult Arab Literacy vs. Native English Literacy
Authors: F. Atari Omar
Published: October 2023

The paper addresses the issue of adult Arab literates' practices and products which exhibit specific communicative strategies and persuasive literacy styles. The author characterizes the adult Arab literates' communicative strategies revealed in the following literacy products: Academic essays, cross-cultural communication studies, genres in contrast, translational versions of Arabic source texts and L2 reading strategies. The author attempts to frame the communicative strategies employed in the above-mentioned literacy products in terms of: orality/literacy traditions and culture. The author shows how adult Arab literates' literacy practices run counter to the targeted Anglo-American literacy practices. The sharp contrast has to be addressed in view of the extensive pressures on adult Arab literates to publish in English, and to communicate in English in different disciplines. The contrast between the strategies of those on the periphery and those of the center-based is the major thrust of the paper. Finally, the author calls for an approximative system of biliteracy..
Scientific vs. Sentimental Narrative in the Travels of William Bartram and Mungo Park

There are two main modes of narrative that travel writers may apply in their writings: the scientific and the sentimental mode. These two modes seem to be totally distinct and incompatible. The aim of the present paper is to show that this is not really the case. To do so, the paper will discuss two important works of travel literature: William Bartram’s Travels of William Bartram (1791) and Mungo Park’s Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa (1799). The main argument of the paper is that while Bartram's narrative is mainly scientific and that of Park is mainly sentimental, one may find in Bartram moments of sentimental narrative and other moments of the scientific narrative in Park. Such moments are equally, if not more, important. So, both writers are much more complex than simply to designate them as scientific and/or sentimental. The paper argues also that finding them to be scientific as well as sentimental entails so many consequences, one of which is that their claim of disinterestedness is not totally true. Both writers switch from one mode of narrative to another in order to obscure their colonialist aims. On the one hand, Bartram’s scientific observations are sometimes implicitly shaped by his race and gender as a white male. On the other, Park’s sentimentality cannot hide his colonial interests. Having said so, however, both writers try to suggest a link between the outside world of nature and the inside world of mankind in order to emphasize their belief in the theory of monogenesis which advocates the common origin of all human beings..
Transitivity and the Construction of Characters in the Narrative Discourse of The English Patient
Authors: Megheirbi Amina
Published: October 2023

Transitivity, which belongs to the experiential metafunction of language, is one of the grammatical systems that writers employ to convey different types of experiences. The options offered by the transitivity aspect and the choices made can greatly affect the interpretation of meaning. For this reason, models and frameworks for the study of transitivity in literal and non-literal texts have been developed as tools for both stylistics and critical linguistics analysis. This paper presents a linguistic analysis of transitivity in the narrative discourse of Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient (1992/2002). The main purpose of this analysis is to explore how choices of certain processes and their participants influence the perception of meaning and contribute to the shaping of characterisation in the novel. .

Social exclusion in public policies and the micropolitics of an association founded by migrants
Authors: Cavaco Cármen , Paulos Catarina , Domingos Rita , Alves Emília
Published: October 2023

The theme of social exclusion has gained visibility in recent years through political discourse. This paper problematises the issue of social exclusion by analysing the hegemonic discourse in public policies and the alternative discourse grounded on the policies of an association, a civil society organization, facilitated by migrants and their descendants. The analysis is the result of a participatory research study based on the collection of documentation and semi-structured interviews. The hegemonic discourse on social exclusion was analysed through empirical data from the perspective of those who inhabit and/or intervene in a neighbourhood that is the object of public policies targeting the so-called 'excluded'. Several paradoxes were identified between the social exclusion discourses conveyed in public policies and in the micropolitics of this association. The discourse, goals and working methods that characterise the micropolitics of the association contribute to the emergence of new forms of singularisation, through adult education initiatives.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction plays a significant role in clinical research since it is the key to primary prevention. As family health units follow up on a specific group of patients, particularly in the middle-aged and elderly groups, CVD risk prediction has additional importance for them. In a retrospectively collected data set from a family health unit in Turkey in 2018, we evaluated the CVD risk levels of patients based on SCORE-Turkey. By identifying additional CVD risk factors for SCORE-Turkey and grouping the study patients into 3-classes "low risk," "moderate risk," and "high risk" patients, we proposed a machine learning implemented early warning system for CVD risk prediction in family health units. Body mass index, diastolic blood pressures, serum glucose, creatinine, urea, uric acid levels, and HbA1c were significant additional CVD risk factors to SCORE-Turkey. All of the five implemented algorithms, k-nearest neighbour (KNN), random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), logistic regression (LR), and support vector machines (SVM), had high prediction performances for both the K4 and K5 partitioning protocols. With 89.7% and 92.1% accuracies for K4 and K5 protocols, KNN outperformed the other algorithms. For the five ML algorithms, while for the "low risk" category, precision and recall measures varied between 95% to 100%, "moderate risk," and "high risk" categories, these measures varied between 60% to 92%. Machine learning-based algorithms can be used in CVD risk prediction by enhancing prediction performances and combining various risk factors having complex relationships.
Effect of etchant containing an Urushiol monomer from lacquer sap on dentin biostability and bonding performance

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of urushiol as an additive to surface acid etchant on dentin structure, by assessing the biostability of dentin, and determine the bonding strengths of dentin and enamel to the composite in the complicated oral microecology.

Methods: Etchants with different concentrations of urushiol (0.5, 1, or 3 wt%) were formulated and tested for their bonding performance. Demineralized dentin beams that were etched with experimental etchants were incubated in simulated body fluid solutions by evaluating the weight decrement after 1 month. The effects of urushiol on dentin and matrix metalloproteinases were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, the antibiotic actions of urushiol on the common cariogenic bacteria Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguinis, and Streptococcus gordonii as well as the biofilm were evaluated, and its effect on bacterial morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Finally, enamel and dentin specimens were prepared from human molars to determine the depth of demineralization by the etchants and the relationship with the resin bond strengths to enamel and dentin (μTBS) and the morphology of the bonding interface.

Results: Urushiol could interact with dentine and inhibit collagenase activity, resulting in biostable dentine. The application of the etchants containing 0.5, 1, or 3 wt% urushiol significantly improved the durability of the dentin bonding interface with its instinctive antibacterial property (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Urushiol not only improves dentin stability by interacting with collagen and inactivating MMP activity but also plays a role in the antibacterial effects in the complicated oral microecology. The effectiveness of urushiol etchant prolongs the longevity of bonded dental restorations without compromising clinical operation time.
