Published: March 2023

An important problem of modern clinical biomechanics is to identify complex movement markers that make it possible to evaluate complex motor adaptive reactions regardless of age, gender, and anthropometric deviations. The purpose of the present study was to develop a method for analysis of human motor adaptive reactions based on calculating specific biomechanical markers obtained by performing diverse kinematic tests. The study involved 90 volunteers with a right-leading kinematic side at an age of 18.8 [16.8/20.8] years, with a height of 171.8 [179.2/164.8] cm, a body weight of 65.3 [76.6/58.5] kg, and the ratio of men and women – 5 : 4. During the study, all participants underwent biomechanical analysis using the TESLASUIT remote motion capture suit and performing diverse kinematic tests. In the course of the study, a new method for analyzing human motor adaptive reactions was developed. It is based on calculating specific time markers of the active phase, average angular deviation markers, and inertial kinematic markers. All markers are calculated after each kinematic tests “frontal stability”, “sagittal stability”, “spatial orientation”, and “stimulus identification”. Our survey revealed that specific (p < 0.001) markers of the first test are the time indicators of the active phase, the markers of the second and fourth tests are associated with the average angular deviation parameters, and the specific indicators of the third test can be the inertial kinematics of thighs, legs, and feet.

The influence of the conditions of mechanical activation of a mixture of Cu–12 wt. % Sn with different content of the modifier Cu9 Al4 on the structural-phase composition and morphology of the formed composites was studied by the methods of X-ray diffraction analysis, optical and electron microscopy. With the mechanochemical introduction of 10 wt. % of the modifying additive into the matrix of mechanosynthesized tin bronze, the product mainly forms a ternary solid solution of aluminum and tin in copper, Al0.05Cu0.9Sn0.05. In the case of 20 wt. % of the modifying additive, the product contains a solid solution of tin in copper Cu0.9Sn0.1 and an intermetallic compound Cu9 Al4. Studies of the mechanical and tribotechnical characteristics of the material obtained by sintering under pressure showed that the intensity of wear of bronze of the mechanochemically synthesized powder Cu–12 wt. % Sn is slightly less than that of industrial bronze BrTPh10-1, the friction coefficient f decreases by a factor of 1.4, and the range of its values is quite wide f = 0.7–0.9. Modification of mechanically synthesized Cu–12 wt. % Sn bronze with the Cu9 Al4 intermetallic compound makes it possible to reduce wear by a factor of 1.4–1.8 and significantly reduces the friction coefficient (by a factor of 2). A stable value of f = 0.5 is achieved for the MA composition Cu–12 wt. % Sn + 20 wt. % Cu9 Al4. The introduction of an intermetallic compound increases the microhardness of the alloys by a factor of 1.6–2.0 (up to Hμ = 2730 MPa) relative to the bronze alloy BrTPh10-1and mechanically synthesized bronze.

Published: March 2023

A simple, fast, sensitive method for the determination of preservatives (methyl parahydroxybenzoate, propyl parahydroxybenzoate) in the finished dosage form of sodium oxybutyrate syrup based on the simultaneous determination of preservatives using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is proposed. The HPLC method was validated. The correlation coefficient of the linearity of the technique was 0.999 in the application range of 80–120 % of the normalized value. The calibration graph is linear in the region of 0.495–0.990 mg/ml of methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate and 0.165–0.330 mg/ml of propyl 4-hydroxybenzoate. It has been established that the analytical characteristics of the test procedure (selectivity, linearity, correctness, repeatability, reproducibility) satisfy the selected acceptance criteria.
In silico Rivaroxaban binding affinity to β-ketoacyl[ACP]synthase I: search for new pharmacophore
Authors: Lakhvich T. T. , Ryneiskaya V. M.
Published: March 2023

The activity of Rivaroxaban as a representative of oxazolidinone series in relation to β-ketoacyl[ACP]synthase I has been studied in silico. Using the molecular docking methods, the binding sites of Rivaroxaban with protein have been identified. For the site providing the highest affinity of Rivaroxaban with protein (-10.26 kcal/mol), 4 clusters characterized by a number of runs greater than 15 have been analyzed. It was found that the specific position of the ligand within these clusters can be changed via mechanism providing a physiological response. Slight changes in the characteristics of the environment can lead to a transition from an energetically dominant position (BE = –10.26 kcal/mol) with predominantly hydrophobic interactions to another position (BE = –8.88 kcal/mol) with predominantly hydrophilic interactions. Dynamic transition discussed may cause a physiological response. The results of the study with a high degree of probability confirm the implementation of a specific mechanism of antimycobacterial action of Rivaroxaban through inhibition of the mycolate biosynthesis.

Introduction: The importance of academic equipment in biochemical and microbiological evaluations of SARS-CoV-2 is increased. In this context, different techniques have been developed in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 disease as qRT-PCR, rapid antigen tests and vaccine technology. The first known example of vaccine technology is the CoronaVac (Sinovac, China) inactivated vaccine throughout pandemic. In the presented study, the sensitivity of CoronaVac in the community would be positively increased and this data would be strengthened. In addition, antibody sensitivity of the CoronaVac between two doses, as well as the hemogram and biochemical analyzes were evaluated. The focus will be on increasing the sensitivity of the society to the vaccine.

Materials and methods: The immunoglobulin, biochemical analyzes, hemogram, and iron-iron binding capacities were evaluated after vaccinated person in a vaccine administration center in Istanbul, Türkiye.

Results: RBDIgG level was significantly higher after second dose (p<0.05). Mon#, Bas#, IMG#, Mon, Hgb, MCH, MCHC, RDWCV, RDWSD, and PDW levels were higher at 28th day. RBDIgG, Fe, WBC, Neu#, Lym#, Eos#, and PLT levels were higher at 42nd day. All other parameter means were higher at 56th day. RBDIgG, Fe, WBC, RDWCV, RDWSD and PDW differences between 28th and 42nd days were significant (p<0.05). RBDIgG, HCT, MCV, MCH, MCHC, and RDWCV differences between 28th and 56th days were statistically significant (p<0.05). RBDIgG, MCV and MCH differences between 42nd and 56th days were statistically significant (p<0.05).

Discussion and conclusion: The 60 volunteers in our study were laboratory, emergency service staffes and hospital personnel working at high risk of COVID-19. There was no differentiation in blood values related to the vaccine. It has been shown as an example of the phase-1 and the side effects of the CoronaVac, were also evaluated, and all our volunteers were followed for 60 days, and no possible serious side effects were observed. In groups with statistical significance in blood results, a vaccine related observation is not clearly revealed. We see that CoronaVac vaccine offers a positive confidence interval in antibody responses after the 2nd dose. These data are great importance in terms of better monitoring of the data by the anti-vaccine groups in Türkiye. It is beneficial to remove the vaccine mistrust against the anti-vaccination and pave the way for social immunization. This study contributes to the accuracy of the ministry and the vaccination strategy implemented in Türkiye. The result of this study provides preliminary information for the studies that will result from the application of the 3rd and 4th dose of vaccines.
EJECUCIÓN PRESUPUESTARIA Y “FIEBRE DE DICIEMBRE” EN EL SECTOR PÚBLICO: ¿PODEMOS MEJORARLO?
Authors: Cornejo Rallo Miguel Ángel
Published: March 2023

Una de las características de la ejecución presupuestaria de los organismos públicos es que concentran el gasto en diciembre. Como existe preocupación de que la “fiebre de diciembre” implique un gasto ineficiente, inadecuado o incorrecto, se han buscado fórmulas para enfrentarlo. En 2019, a través del mecanismo de incentivos remuracionales, se estableció un indicador destinado a disminuir el nivel de gasto de diciembre, solicitándole a los organismos públicos que se establecieran metas. Los resultados del estudio muestran que dicha herramienta produjo resultados mixtos. Si bien la mayoría de los organismos alcanzaron las metas establecidas hay dos observaciones. La primera es que las metas se fijaron en rangos alcanzables y con mínimos riesgos de incumplimiento. Esto da cuenta de prácticas de gaming debido, esencialmente, a que el indicador no fijó parámetros para el establecimiento de las metas como los niveles históricos de ejecución. La segunda es que el indicador, al no incluir ningún parámetro para el nivel de gasto en los meses anteriores a diciembre permitió que, más que lograr una adecuada ejecución presupuestaria durante el año, los organismos traspasaran el mayor gasto de diciembre al mes de noviembre. El indicador permitió disminuir la “fiebre de diciembre”, pero aumentó la de noviembre.

This study examines the relationship between corporate culture and employees' job performance in a multinational company operated in Malaysia. Malaysia is well-known as a culturally-diverse country in the world. Therefore, the selected multinational company needs to assessits internal cultures as workers from different ethnical backgrounds work together. Thegeneralobjectiveof this studyis to determine corporate culture's effect on job performance among the workers in the targeted multinational company. The selected cultural dimensions to study corporate culture were power distance and uncertainty avoidance, from a theory developed by Geert Hofstede. The research design adopted for the current study was a quantitative correlation design. A self-administered questionnaire was developed and distributed to the targeted respondents for obtainingprimary data. IBM SPSS 25.0 was employed to analyse reliability analysis, frequency analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. This study identified that both power distance and uncertainty avoidance exert a significant and moderately positive effect on employees' job performance. Hence, the selected multinational company should be alert and keep an eye on enhancing and strengthening the two said dimensions since itgives impact on the workers' job performance.
The interplay between the Internet-based reading resources and learner-to-learner interactions in blended language learning
Authors: Rattanasak Sonthaya
Published: March 2023

This research examined English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ reading comprehension ability through the Internet-based reading resources in a blended language learning environment: the integration of online reading activities into conventional face-to-face reading instructions. Participants were Thai EFL undergraduates divided into a control group and an experimental group. The experimental group self-selected online articles concerning contents of interest to share, read, and discuss on a social network platform, which was particularly created to foster learner-to-learner interactions throughout a 16-week course focusing on reading comprehension. Data on learners’ reading comprehension abilities were collected from both a pre- and post-test. Reading comprehension ability was determined via performance based on five reading comprehension strategies, namely (1) finding the main ideas, (2) scanning for specific details, (3) identifying the correct referent to a pronoun, (4) making inferences, and (5) figuring out the meaning of new vocabulary in context. The findings showed that learners in the experimental group performed significantly better than the control group. In addition, scanning for specific details as a reading comprehension strategy effected significant improvement among the other reading comprehension strategies. The findings suggested that a blended learning environment with the use of the Internet-based reading resources could serve to provide a dynamic learning environment to foster EFL learners’ reading comprehension.

The concept of X-based diagonal fillings in diagonal Latin squares (DLS) is introduced, their enumeration is carried out them, isomorphism classes are constructed, and the interconnection of these problems with problems based on card decks is shown. On their basis, a method for generating strongly normalized canonical forms of the DLS using a limited set of ESODLS CMS schemes is proposed. It makes possible to reduce the necessary computational costs by 3-4 orders of magnitude compared to a software implementation based on a Brute Force based enumeration of the DLS. Using the developed software implementations and the Gerasim@ Home volunteer distributed computing project on the BOINC platform, the number of main classes of DLS of order 9 has been calculated. This number was previously unknown and amounted to 3 292 326 155 394.

Authors: AKAY Berna , KÖKTÜRK DALCALI Berna
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT

Purpose: The research was planned to examine the relationship between the attitudes of nursing students against the nursing diagnoses and their professional values.

Methods: The sample of this descriptive and correlational study consisted of 147 second, third- and fourth-year nursing students in the nursing department of a state university at the South Marmara Region. Personal information form was used to collect data, Positions on Nursing Diagnosis Scale was used to evaluate attitudes towards nursing diagnoses, and Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised was used to evaluate professional values. The scales were converted into an online questionnaire in the Google® Survey database and were sent to students via electronic communication programs.

Results: The mean age of the students participating in the study was 21.16±1.43. It was determined that the professional values score averages of students were at a high level with 120.54±10.76, and their attitudes towards nursing diagnosis mean scores were quite positive with 124.82±15.87 and there was a moderately strong positive relationship between them (r=.472 p< .01).

Conclusion: This study showed that there is consensus among the majority of students that NANDA nursing diagnoses is a professional classification system that enables nursing care to be delivered in a safer and systematic way. Adoption of professional values by nursing students is an important element to provide an understanding of nursing knowledge and science. Nursing diagnoses are the visible face of nursing science in patient care. These two issues should be emphasized at every stage of nursing education in terms of the visibility of the nursing profession.

Three years after we began living through an unprecedented infectious disease epidemic at the end of 2019, our world is still heavily affected by the novel coronavirus. Compared to the beginning of the epidemic, when there was no information at all, researchers and health care workers around the world have been sharing information and examining the characteristics of this virus and infection prevention and treatment measures in order to respond to this situation. Preprints are also being used as the fastest route for information distribution, and research information on novel coronaviruses, in particular, is circulating at an explosive volume and speed. New tools such as the LitCovid, the iSearch COVID-19 portfolio, and the WHO COVID-19 Research Database(WHO COVID-19 RDB), which collect and provide information specific to novel coronavirus infection, have also appeared. This article introduces the activities of providing the Ichushi-Web bibliographies to the WHO COVID-19 RDB and what I realized from these experiences, as well as an overview of this database.
Jobs and Punishment: Public Opinion on Leniency for White-Collar Crime
Authors: St-Georges Simon , Arel-Bundock Vincent , Blais André , Mendoza Aviña Marco
Published: March 2023

Governments routinely offer deals to companies accused of white-collar crimes, allowing them to escape criminal charges in exchange for fines or penalties. This lets prosecutors avoid costly litigation and protects companies’ right to bid on lucrative public contracts, which can reduce the likelihood of bankruptcies or layoffs. Striking deals with white-collar criminals can be risky for governments because it could affect the perceived legitimacy of the legal system. This article explores the conditions under which the general public supports leniency agreements. Building on theoretical intuitions from the literature, we identify three characteristics that could affect mass attitudes: home bias, economic incentives, and retribution. We conduct a survey experiment in the United States and find moderate support for leniency agreements. Whether the crime occurs on US soil or abroad does not affect public opinion, and the number of jobs that would be jeopardized by criminal prosecution only has a small effect. Instead, survey respondents become much more supportive of a deal when it includes criminal charges for the corporate managers who were personally involved in the alleged wrongdoing. In the court of public opinion, punishing a handful of individuals appears to matter more than saving thousands of jobs.

Fake News Detector: The NewWeapon Against Misinformation
Authors: Aladeen Haffaz
Published: March 2023

Despite the growing popularity of fake news detection tools, there is still much to be desired in terms of their efficacy and reliability. The Fake News Detector, touted as a new weapon against misinformation, is no exception. While the technology behind this tool may seem impressive, it is important to consider its limitations and potential negative impacts. Firstly, the accuracy of the Fake News Detector has not been thoroughly tested, and it is possible that it may produce false positives or false negatives. This could lead to the censorship of legitimate news sources and the propagation of misinformation. Additionally, the use of such tools may perpetuate a culture of mistrust and skepticism towards all forms of media. This could have a detrimental effect on democracy and the public’s ability to engage with important issues. Furthermore, the implementation of the Fake News Detector may be subject to biases and influence from external factors, such as political agendas or corporate interests. This could lead to the tool being used to further specific agendas rather than to promote truth and accuracy. In conclusion, while the Fake News Detector may seem like a promising solution to the problem of misinformation, it is important to consider its potential limitations and negative impacts. We must remain vigilant and critical in our evaluation of such tools in order to ensure that they are used in a responsible and ethical manner.

Can Machine Learning Algorithms Really Stop Fake News in its Tracks?
Authors: Aladeen Haffaz
Published: March 2023

Fake news has become a pervasive issue in today’s society, and it poses significant challenges to the integrity of our democracy. As the volume and complexity of fake news continue to increase, the need for efficient and effective solutions has become critical. In recent years, machine learning algorithms have emerged as promising tools for detecting and stopping fake news. However, the question remains: Can machine learning algorithms really stop fake news in its tracks? This study aims to answer this question by exploring the potential of machine learning algorithms in detecting and combating fake news. We review the literature on the use of machine learning algorithms in fake news detection and identify the challenges and limitations of the existing approaches. We also present a case study of a machine learning-based fake news detection system and evaluate its performance. Our findings suggest that while machine learning algorithms can be effective in detecting and flagging fake news, they are not foolproof. The accuracy of the algorithm depends on several factors, including the quality of the training data, the complexity of the news story, and the sophistication of the fake news creator. Moreover, machine learning algorithms are only part of the solution to the fake news problem, and they should be used in conjunction with other approaches, such as fact-checking and media literacy education. Despite their limitations, machine learning algorithms hold great promise for combating fake news. As the technology improves and more sophisticated algorithms are developed, they can play an increasingly important role in detecting and stopping fake news. However, it is essential to understand the limitations of machine learning algorithms and to use them in combination with other solutions to effectively address the fake news problem.
Differential expression of RCAN2 in colorectal cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2023

Cancer is a leading cause of death and colorectal cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined public microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding regulator of calcineurin 2, RCAN2, when comparing colorectal tumors to the tissue of origin, the colon. RCAN2 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the colon as compared to normal colorectal tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of RCAN2 in rectal tumors was correlated with overall survival in patients with rectal cancer. RCAN2 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human CRC.

In addition, the paper examines how mentoring supports this group of teachers. The paper is based on data from 235 AC teachers who were surveyed during their first year of employment in Germany. The results show that AC teachersprimarily report teaching-related difficulties and that these are associated with higher levels of emotional exhaustion. Mentors can mitigate this connection through regular exchange and peer observation of teaching. The results of the study provide evidence for the type of mentoring required for a successful career entry of AC teachers. / / / German: Basierend auf der Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Theorie untersucht der vorliegende Beitrag die beruflichen Herausforderungen und das Belastungserleben von Lehrkräften im Seiteneinstieg in der Phase des Berufseinstieges.

We mined published microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding interleukin 6 receptor, IL6R, when comparing colorectal tumors to the tissue of origin, the colon. IL6R mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the colon as compared to normal colorectal tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of IL6R in rectal tumors was correlated with overall survival in patients with rectal cancer with high mutational burden. IL6R expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human CRC.

We mined published microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding stearoyl-CoA desaturase (delta-9-desaturase), SCD, when comparing colorectal tumors to the tissue of origin, the colon. SCD mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the colon as compared to normal colorectal tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of SCD in rectal tumors was correlated with overall survival in patients with rectal cancer in those whose tumors were relatively depleted of B-cells. SCD expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human CRC.

Cancer is a leading cause of death and colorectal cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined published and public microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8, apolipoprotein e receptor, LRP8, when comparing colorectal tumors to the tissue of origin, the colon. LRP8 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the colon as compared to normal colorectal tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of LRP8 in rectal tumors was correlated with overall survival in patients with rectal cancer.

Each cerebellar hemisphere projects to the contralateral cerebral hemisphere. Previous research suggests a lateralization of cognitive functions in the cerebellum that mirrors the cerebral cortex, with attention/visuospatial functions represented in the left cerebellar hemisphere, and language functions in the right cerebellar hemisphere. Although there is good evidence supporting the role of the right cerebellum with language functions, the evidence supporting the notion that attention and visuospatial functions are left lateralized is less clear. Given that spatial neglect is one of the most common disorders arising from right cortical damage, we reasoned that damage to the left cerebellum would result in increased spatial neglect-like symptoms, without necessarily leading to an official diagnosis of spatial neglect. To examine this disconnection hypothesis, we analyzed neglect screening data (line bisection, cancellation, figure copying) from 20 patients with isolated unilateral cerebellar stroke. Results indicated that left cerebellar patients (n=9) missed significantly more targets on the left side of cancellation tasks compared to a normative sample. No significant effects were observed for right cerebellar patients (n=11). A lesion overlap analysis indicated that Crus II (78% overlap), and lobules VII and IX (66% overlap) were the regions most commonly damaged in left cerebellar patients. Our results are consistent with the notion that the left cerebellum may be important for attention and visuospatial functions. Given the poor prognosis typically associated with neglect, we suggest that screening for neglect symptoms, and visuospatial deficits more generally, may be important for tailoring rehabilitative efforts to help maximize recovery in cerebellar patients.
Pupillometry Reveals Differences in Cognitive Demands of Listening to Face Mask-Attenuated Speech

Face masks offer essential protection but also interfere with speech communication. Here, audio-only sentences spoken through four types of masks were presented in noise to young adult listeners. Pupil dilation (an index of cognitive demand), intelligibility, and subjective effort and performance ratings were collected. Dilation increased in response to each mask relative to the no-mask condition and differed among mask types. These results suggest that the acoustic impact of the mask drives not only the intelligibility of speech, but also the cognitive demands of listening. Subjective effort ratings reflected but did not correlate with pupillometry data.
They Walk Among Us: Misogyny, Right-Wing Authoritarianism and Social Dominance Orientation Predict the Endorsement of Incel Ideologies
Authors: Hargreaves Millie , Mooney Robyn
Published: March 2023

Some of the most radicalised members of involuntary celibate (‘incel’) communities have committed violent attacks with multiple victims, highlighting the risk they pose to society—particularly women. This pilot study aimed to determine if misogyny, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) predicted the endorsement of incel ideologies (‘inceldom’) in a male community sample (n = 65). Results indicated that misogyny and RWA positively predict inceldom, while SDO was negatively predictive. By better understanding the individual differences underlying inceldom, improved deradicalization support systems can be implemented for those wishing to leave the incel community.
Will there be human rights-based litigation tackling biodiversity loss as a systemic threat?
Authors: Henn Elisabeth V. , von Vittorelli Laura , Seppelt Ralf
Published: March 2023

With biodiversity steadily declining at unprecedented rates, ecosystem functioning and humanity’s life-supporting safety net are at risk. The irreversible loss of life-supporting ecosystem functions increasingly limits opportunities for the exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms of the younger as well as future generations. As regards climate change and its negative human rights impacts, there are numerous human rights-based climate change cases. We argue that human rights-based litigation addressing the systemic threat of biodiversity decline can learn from such cases. Against the background of the first ground-breaking climate change decision of the German Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) ‘Neubauer et al. vs. Federal Republic of Germany’, we discuss in how far the judicial line of argument can be used in cases regarding countries’ insufficient action to fight biodiversity decline. Particularly the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) is analysed in detail with respect to both, the judicial elements needed and the requirements to biodiversity science to provide relevant measures and indicators. We conclude that GBF is very well suited to support human rights-based adjudication against the systemic threat of biodiversity decline.

The satellite communication system that is used for ship communication in Indonesian waters is expected to transmit real time data at any time under any conditions. However, currently, the Vsat Gyrsoscope antenna that is installed on the Pelni ship still uses the Ku band frequency. This frequency band is very susceptible to rain attenuation. Vsat Gyro will automatically search for satellites that cover it. Only when it is raining and the ship is moving towards the port, is there a decrease in the receiving power level. SNR and power and C/N will drop. Therefore, it is necessary to do an analysis to overcome this problem so that it is not disconnected during the transmission. This study conducted an analytical study to validate the analytical predictions of phasing the vsat power signal level on the pelni ship to maintain communication during sea operations, which are included in TKT 3 (three). The tools used in the measurement are vsat modem, PRTG application, laptop, RJ 45 cable, and Spectrum Analyzer. By optimizing the calculation of the margin link budget, the calculation of Qos and the parameters vsat Eb/No, C/N and SNR when adjusted to the operating conditions of the ship with high rain intensity so that communication can continue to run even when the worst conditions can be maintained properly.Â
