Published: September 2024

Cases of biological food poisoning can be caused by several causative factors, one of which is a food processing site that does not meet health requirements. According to the BPOM report (2016) cases of food poisoning in Indonesia in 2016 reached 1,068 cases. In 2016, 60 extraordinary events (KLB) of food poisoning were reported by 31 BB/BPOM throughout Indonesia. From the many cases of food poisoning that occur, it is necessary to take action in prevention by processing data on existing cases of poisoning to follow up on existing problems to reduce the number of cases of food poisoning by using a system on a computer so that the managed data can be processed quickly to obtain further information. Therefore the author wants to use a system with the clustering method to assist in processing data on biological poisoning cases grouping objects based on the characteristics of each object. Based on the research conducted, it can be seen that in cluster 2 in the dasta group of biological poisoning cases there are 11 data with centroid point age (x) 2, namely 12-16 years, centroid point on the type of poisoning (y) 6.36, namely sandwiches, and centroid point on the causative factor (z) 2.9, namely Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria which are usually found in the intestines of humans and warm-blooded animals.
The Influence of Campus Environment on the Development of Self-Identity of Adolescent Students
Authors: Dian Leila Sari
Published: September 2024

This study aims to analyze the influence of the campus environment on the development of self-identity in adolescent students. Adolescence is a crucial period in the formation of self-identity, and the campus environment as one of the main social contexts plays an important role in this process. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method involving 200 adolescent students at one of the state universities in Indonesia. Data were collected through a questionnaire that measured various aspects of the campus environment, including social interactions, extracurricular activities, academic support, and campus facilities, and how these factors contribute to the development of student self-identity. The results of the data analysis show that the campus environment has a significant influence on the development of student self-identity. Positive social interactions, participation in extracurricular activities, and adequate academic support have been shown to contribute significantly to increasing students' self-confidence, self-understanding, and sense of social connectedness. Adequate campus facilities also support the process of exploring self-identity by providing space for students to develop their interests and talents. However, this study also found that some students faced difficulties in adjusting to the new campus environment, especially those from less supportive socio-economic backgrounds.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to examine the impact of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in learning on the understanding of material by young students. In today's digital era, AI is increasingly being adopted in educational environments, with the potential to personalize learning, increase student engagement, and accelerate the process of understanding material. This research method uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. A total of 120 students from various study programs at a university in Indonesia became research respondents, who were divided into two groups: a group that used an AI-based learning platform and a group that used conventional learning methods. Data collection was carried out through pre-tests and post-tests to measure the level of understanding of the material, as well as surveys to evaluate the learning experience. The results of the study showed that the group of students who used AI technology in learning had a more significant increase in understanding the material compared to the control group. In addition, students who used AI reported a more interactive and motivating learning experience. However, this study also found challenges, such as excessive dependence on technology and disparities in access to adequate technological devices. Based on these findings, the study recommends the integration of AI into the education curriculum in a balanced manner, considering technical and pedagogical factors to maximize the potential of AI-based learning.

Published: September 2024

The relevance of the research is determined by the need to substantiate and implement effective visualnarrative media formats for creating effective visual communications capable of clearly conveying messages and ideas to the viewer. The purpose of the work is to reveal and evaluate the communicative potential of stop-motion animation in the context of audiovisual practices of modern design. Research methodology is formed by general scientific and special methods, in particular, comparative and historical analysis, scientific analysis and synthesis, methods of visual observation, modeling, art history and content analysis. The research substantiates the technical techniques, formal and artistic approaches of stop-motion and reveals their influence on the communicative potential of animation in the context of various project tasks. The effectiveness of the tools of stop-motion animation in modern audiovisual design practices for increasing the emotional involvement of the audience and improving the perception of content due to attractiveness and experimentation has been proven. The ability of stop-motion animation for detail, visual saturation, expressiveness and emotional expressiveness can play a key role in solving design problems where a deep narrative impact needs to be achieved. The paper substantiates the expediency of using the main technical techniques of stop-motion animation in the implementation of specific conceptual project tasks, in particular in short animated films of various genres, in advertising videos, in art projects, where the goal can be achieved due to the high artistic characteristics of the visual series, interactivity and emotional interaction with the viewer. The practical value of the work is determined by the possibility of implementing the research results into practical recommendations for the implementation of specific projects. The results of the research can be useful in the academic community for the further development of the theoretical foundations of stop-motion animation and the expansion of project approaches in educational courses related to audiovisual art and visual communication

Objective: To determine the prevalence of patients with ultrasound signs of a full stomach during surgery at the Sominé Dolo Hospital in Mopti. Methodology: Observational study investigated prospective, single-center over a period of one month include patients in surgery program aged 18 to 85 years. Our data was collected on individual survey sheets and analysed with the Epi info7 software. Result: Out of a total of 140 patients, 41 patients were included in our study, i.e. a frequency of 29.28%. The mean age of patients was 38 years +/-17. The average body mass index was 23+/- 4.65. Females predominated: 60.98% (n=25) compared to 39.02% (n=16) for males, with a sex ratio of 0.6/1. The ASA classification was rated at II in 51.22% of patients (n=21). The gastric antrum was visualized in 40 patients, i.e. an ultrasound sensitivity of 97.56%, of which seven (07) were difficult to see and not visualized in one patient. We found a relationship between high BMI and difficulty in visualizing gastric contents (P-value = 0.00001), but no relationship was found between BMI and Perlas score (P-Value = 0.75411). The Perlas score was rated at 0 in 85% (n=34), fluid content was found in 12.5% (n=5) of patients while one patient had solid content. Patients observed an estimated preoperative fasting duration of an average of 11 hours +/- 2.86. Conclusion: Despite the implementation of a preoperative fasting protocol, cases of full stomachs are still to be feared and the ultrasound at the bedside of patients is a simple, quick examination to best adjust the anesthesia protocol. Keywords: full stomach, gastric antrum, ultrasound, Perlas score, Mopti.

Introduction: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease, common in pediatrics, often underdiagnosed and poorly documented in our context. The objective was to contribute to the study of the frequency and associated atopias of asthma in children aged 3 to 15 years in the paediatric department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital. Methodology: The study was observational for six months (May 1 to October 31, 2019) in the pediatric department of the Ignace Deen National Hospital, Conakry covering all children admitted for asthma. Results: Out of 4225 children received, we had recorded 105 asthmatics, i.e. a hospital frequency of (2.48%), largely dominated by young children (3-6 years), 51 cases (48.57%). The mean age was 7.51 ± 2.99 years, with a sex ratio of 1.02 (male 53(50.50%)). The suggestive symptoms reported by children ≤ 5 years were cough (100%) and dyspnoea (77.42%). Cough (90.54%) and chest tightness (58.11%) were also reported by ages over 5 years. Personal atopic comorbidities were dominated by allergic rhinitis (63.80%). Familial nuclear atopy reported was allergic rhinitis in nearly half (48.57%) and asthma (28.57%) of cases. Obesity was found in (6.70%) of children. The (58.10%) cases were not known to have asthmatics. The others (41.9%) were former asthmatics among whom (47.70%) were not on disease-modifying treatment. Intermittent asthma was most common in naïve children (52.44%) and (69.55%) of children had controlled asthma on disease-modifying treatments. Conclusion: This study shows a low frequency that testifies to the underdiagnosis of the condition in our context. An analytical study on underdiagnosis will identify the associated factors. Keywords: asthma profile, paediatric setting, Ignace Deen, Conakry.

Authors: IRANI Dany , EL AHMADIÉ Mayssaê
Published: September 2024

A precise impression is mandatory to obtain passive fit in implant-supported prostheses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of impression material and implant angulation on the impression accuracy of external-connection implants. Four customized epoxy resin master models, with twoimplant analogs placed parallel or with different degrees of divergence (10, 20 and 30 degrees), were fabricated with their corresponding passively fitted reference frameworks. Ten impressions were taken, for each model, with vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) and polyether (PE) using custom open tray impression technique. Impressions were poured with type IV dental stone and vertical discrepancies between the reference frameworks and the platforms of the implant replicas were evaluated, with a stereo video microscope, applying the one-screw test. The data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA, Sidak, and one-sample t-test at p ≤ 0.05. No significant differences were found between PE and VPS at various angulations (p > 0.05). However, all groups showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) when compared to their true values. Within the limitations of this study, impression material and implant angulation had no significant effect on impression accuracy of external connection implants.

Published: September 2024

Les pertes de substance mandibulaires constituent l’un des défauts acquis les plus fréquents du massif maxillo-facial. Plusieurs étiologies ont été décrites dont les plus fréquentes, sont les tumeurs et les traumatismes. La classification prothétique la plus utilisée prend en considération la continuité osseuse de la mandibule, de ce fait les pertes de substance (PDS) mandibulaires non interruptrices (PSNM) préservant la continuité osseuse et les PDS interruptrices (PSIM) associées à une discontinuité de l’os basal. Ces défauts osseux engendrent de nombreuses complications fonctionnelles (perte de l’articulé, diminution de l’efficacité masticatoire, absence de calage lors de la déglutition, trouble phonatoire en rapport avec le changement de la cavité de résonnance buccale) et esthétiques (asymétrie faciale due à la latéro-déviation, brides et cicatrices consécutives aux lambeaux et curages ganglionnaires), sans oublier l’impact psychologique sur la vie sociale de ces patients.

Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: September 2024

This article discusses effective strategies for establishing and maintaining high-functioning teams. It asserts that team performance starts with careful member selection based on complementary skills, commitment to goals, and interpersonal chemistry. Once formed, teams must define clear roles and specific, measurable goals. Member expectations around norms, communication and decision-making should be aligned upfront. Ongoing performance management through feedback, recognition and addressing poor performance is also necessary. Teams require open communication facilitated through meeting structures and collaboration tools. Conflict should be addressed constructively through open discussion focused on problem-solving rather than blaming. Providing frequent, specific recognition and rewards helps sustain motivation. When implemented consistently, these techniques can transform a group of individuals into a cohesive unit that consistently achieves superior outcomes through a people-first, process-driven approach.

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence Virtual Oral Tutoring APPs on Chinese Youth’s Anxiety in Oral English learning——Interview Research Based on Users of Artificial Intelligence Speaking Tutoring APPs
Authors: Zhang Man
Published: September 2024

Foreign language learning anxiety is a topic that has long been scrutinized, and the anxiety present in foreign language learning has been studied to guide foreign language teaching as well as the setting of foreign language education scenarios. Today we have entered an artificial intelligence era, with the release of ChatGPT and the wide application of Big Language Modeling AI technology, in which a wide variety of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) oral tutoring APPs have emerged. Due to the relatively short development time of the technology of Great Language Modeling, the foreign language training model for AI foreign language oral coaches built on the basis of this technology is still in the preliminary development stage, and there is less research on the improvement of foreign language learning sentiments brought about by GAI.What is the foreign language learning method provided by AI coaches helpful for foreign language learning? Does it alleviate foreign language learning anxiety? It has become a topic worthy of research.
This study adopts the research method of semi-structured interviews to interview 20 Chinese college students and analyze the data text of the interviews. This study is based on the control value theory for questionnaire design and research, and in terms of control factors, it is found that using GAI Oral Coach to learn a foreign language is more controllable, and it can alleviate the learners' anxiety in many aspects of foreign language communication and exchange, such as: communicative anxiety, situational anxiety, oral anxiety, listening anxiety, and cognitive anxiety. In terms of value factors, due to the prerequisites of the control factors, the use of GAI oral coaching helped learners to significantly increase their sense of self-efficacy and emotional comfort, be more likely to feel a mood of accomplishment, and students to give high expectations in terms of future performance improvement. The role of emotional accompaniment and support found in this study was unanticipated before the study, and GAI oral coaches, in addition to helping to alleviate anxiety, can also provide positive emotional value through caring, companionship, and communication. Of course, there are two sides to everything, especially at the stage when GAI is just emerging, and there are still many imperfections to be explored, such as ethics, cognitive-emotional, and value bias. The findings in this paper help to understand how AI technology helps foreign language learning sentiments, and provide support for subsequent related research on AI accompanying foreign language learning.

An Etymological and Controversial Examination of Sun Wukong in Journey to the West
Authors: Liu Jiaxin
Published: September 2024

Since the debate between Lu Xun's "indigenous theory" and Hu Shi's "exotic theory" on the origin of the image of Sun Wukong, there has been nearly a hundred years of academic discussion. Scholars from various schools have conducted a large number of beneficial studies and reached well-founded conclusions. However, due to the unique nature of Journey to the West as a work that has been accumulated across generations and carries a distinct historical sediment, the controversy surrounding it has always been at an impasse, with no consensus reached. Based on previous studies, this paper will provide an overview of the mainstream theories within the academic community. It will then conduct etymological and dialectical analysis of the character of Sun Wukong from the perspective of the "indigenous theory", thus demonstrating the high plausibility of the indigenous viewpoint.
