Published: March 2021

The CBIR system can be used to recover medical images associated with different diseases. The purpose of medicine information system is about providing the right information, at the right time, in the right place, to the right person. This improves the quality and efficiency of the patient care process. In clinical decision manufacturing process, it is important to find other images for a given query. . This is done using the content-based image recovery technique. Data mining is the technique of sorting through massive figured devices in get awareness about the human habits and place up human relationships to resolve problems via figure evaluation. Data gold mining apparatus gives business to anticipate the future qualities. Quality content material-based search offers a large volume of picture selections totally, while both effectiveness and performance are essential problems. An advanced indexing form is essential to scale the large statistics, facilitate the correct assessment.. This is a new technology that supports scalable content-based image retrieval (CBIR) hashing. Recently, CBIR has been focused with the future directions in the field of research. The Unsupervised visual hashing approach called semantic assisted visual hashing (SAVH) has a semi-supervised and supervised visual blending process. This approach is based on a strictly hidden rich semantics integrated into auxiliary image texts to increase the efficiency of visual clutter without any semantic labels. The most native technique for CBIR is to examine query photographs with each sample saved in the database sequentially. Its linear intricacy results in the poor expressions and performance scalability in the actual environment. Also, visual features normally have high dimensions. Picture access is normally transported out while using the complementing features of any predicament picture with the types within the photo data source. It may end up being categorized as textual content, which is primarily contentbased. To extend the scope, an unsupervised framework is deviced to learn hash codes simultaneously preserving the visual similarities of the images, integrating the semantic assistance of the texts on modeling high inter-image relationships, and defining correlations between images and shared content. The present study recommends a book unsupervised visible hashing system, termed as SAVH, to perform visual hashing learning effectively.

Introduction/Objective. Spinal anesthesia is often used for hip endoprosthesis surgery. Significant surgical stress response consisting of hormonal, metabolic and inflammatory changes can be initiated by the hip replacement surgery. Intrathecal opioids, as adjuvants to local anesthetics, make spinal block sufficient even with lower doses of the local anesthetics, and the incidence of the side effects reduce to minimum. Methods. This study included 162 patients of either sex, American Society of Anesthesiology classification (ASA) 1?2, scheduled for total hip arthroplasty. The patients had spinal anesthesia with 10 mg of 0.5% bupivacaine with 20 ?g (Group I), or 25 ?g (Group II) or 30 ?g fentanyl intrathecally (Group III). Results. Mean time to achieve maximum motor and sensory blockade was with no significant difference among the groups. Time of motor block duration was shorter in the Group III. Four hours after the operation, patients in the Group I had significantly higher cortisol serum levels. Blood glucose levels were with no significant difference among the groups. Levels of CRP increased remarkably postoperatively in the Group I. Incidence of hypotension, bradycardia, nausea and vomiting was significantly higher in the Group III. Pruritus and shevering were not recorded among the groups. The first time an analgetic was needed postoperatively was the longest in the Group III. Conclusion. The dose of 10 mg of bupivacaine combined with 25 ?g fentanyl was the optimal option to achieve hemodynamic stability, sufficient sensory and motor blockade, and reduce the stress response and incidence of the opioids side effects such as vomiting, nausea, pruritus etc.
N.Ya. Danilevsky’s Participation in M.N. Katkov’s Periodicals in 1880s
Authors: Perevalova Elena V.
Published: March 2021

The article analyzes the participation of N.Ya. Danilevsky in the periodicals of the authoritative conservative publicist of the 1860–1880s M.N. Katkov – “Russian Vestnik” magazine and “Moscow Vedomosti” journal. The author identifies the reasons that brought together the thinker and the editors of influential conservative periodicals and analyzes the common views of Danilevsky and Katkov on a number of important issues of Russian domestic and foreign policy. Special attention is paid to the “Slavic question”, which was differently interpreted by Danilevsky and the writers of the Katkov’s circle, however that did not prevent the thinker to participate in those periodicals in the 1880s. The author of the article attempts to determine the role of the fragments of the third, unfinished part of Danilevsky’s work “Darwinism” published after his death in the «Russian Vestnik», in the polemics over the teachings of Charles Darwin that went on in Katkov's periodicals and the liberal democratic press in the 1880s.

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.

The early field experience (EFE) has been considered a valuable and important component of a physical education majors education (Curtner-Smith, 1993). For this study 26 pre-service teachers (PST) (physical education majors) team taught (13 teams) in an EFE in a local junior high school. During their EFE each team taught 2 lessons in the school. From this study it was found that during the PST lessons the junior high students were active in the class activities, that the PST should have used louder voices when teaching, that the PST should have had a back-up plan for their lessons, that music played can help during class activities, and that they PST felt their lessons went “well.”

早期的實習教學經驗，對於體育本科生而言是一種有效的學習方法。是次研究共有26位體育實習教師參與團隊式教學法，結果顯示這種教學法令初中學生更加活躍，而實習教師需要加大他們説話聲音，需要準備後備的活動計劃，在活動中使用適當的音樂等，這些改變能夠讓實習教師感到有滿意的教學效果。
Valgus Knee Angle during Drop Landing in Female and Male Physical Education Major Undergraduate Students
Authors: SAM Ka lam
Published: March 2021

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.
Gender differences in lower extremity landing mechanics and muscle activation have been identified as potential causative factors leading to the increased incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in female athletes. Valgus knee alignment places greater strain on the anterior cruciate ligament than a more neutral alignment. Biceps Femoris (BF) may provide dynamic stability to the knee joint during landing, decreasing knee valgus and preventing placing strain on the anterior cruciate ligament. The purpose of this study was to determine if frontal-plane knee angle and Biceps Femoris (BF) activation differ between the sexes at initial contact (IC) and maximal knee flexion (MKF) during a drop landing. Nine male and eight female healthy subjects volunteered to participate in this study. Frontal-plane knee angle and BF average root mean square (aRMS) amplitude were measured using BTS (Bioengineering Technology & Systems) electromyography, video acquisition system and Kistler force platform. It was found that at initial contact, women landed in valgus, and men landed in varus (P < .001). At maximal knee flexion, men reached a greater varus position than women (P < .001). Women’s BF aRMS amplitude was less than men. At initial contact, BF aRMS amplitude significantly differed between groups (P < .05). However, no significance difference between groups at maximal knee flexion (P > .05). To conclude, women tended to land in more knee valgus than men. At initial contact, women performed different and less BF muscle activation than men. The stabilization mechanism in landing knee motion between initial contact and maximal knee flexion is still unknown.
股二頭肌能通過減輕膝外翻程度來增加著地時膝關節的穩定性，從而減輕前十字韌帶受到的張力。有研究表明，不同群體之間下肢著地技術和肌肉活動情況的差異是增加女子運動員前十字韌帶受傷幾率的兩大潛在因素。當膝外翻時，十字韌帶受到比膝蓋處於中立位時更大的張力。本研究通過運用Kistler測力台，肌電圖，以及BTS視頻採集系統對17名(男=9，女=8)主修體育的本科生進行測量，目的在於討論著地瞬間膝關節的角度和股二頭肌活動是否存在性別差異，以及測定著地緩衝後的最大膝角和股二頭肌活動是否存在性別差異。結果發現，在著地瞬間，女性較男性更容易出現膝外翻現象(p<.001)。肌電圖顯示，女性股二頭肌振幅 比男性要小且男女之間存在顯著性差異(p<.05)，但當緩衝至最大膝角時，男女之間的差異並不顯著(p>.05)。著地過程中，下肢肌肉的穩定機制與膝部運動的關係有待進一步探討。

Authors: CHEUNG Peggy PY
Published: March 2021

Parental influence on children’s physical activity (PA) have been widely studied, however, limited study was reported particularly about after-school hours. The purposes of this study were: 1) to describe the changes of children PA during an after-school PA pilot program; 2) to explore parental attitudes on children's after-school PA participation. A 6-week afterschool PA pilot program was conducted in one primary school with a group of seven children (aged 8-10). The program content included both academic (i.e., tutorial session) and PA (i.e., organized PA session) components. Quantitative data on children’s PA level during the after-school program was measured by pedometers. Qualitative data on parents of the participating children was collected through focus group meeting. The PA component of the program guaranteed children PA level during the after school hours. With the observed positive change on their child’s behavior, academic performance, still remain the major concerns of parents for allowing children to involve in PA. The pilot program included a combination of PA and academic component satisfied the concern of parents. The findings can add information for future intervention design to increase the PA level of children during after-school hour.
Relative Susceptibility, Preference, and Suitability ofCarpinusTaxa for the Japanese Beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) 1
Authors: Miller Fredric , Wiegrefe Susan
Published: March 2021

Nineteen Carpinus taxa were evaluated in no-choice and multiple-choice laboratory feeding bioassays for susceptibility, preference, and suitability for the adult Japanese beetle (Popillae japonica Newman). No-choice laboratory feeding bioassays revealed that only three Carpinus taxa, Carpinus caucasica Grossh., Carpinus tschonoskii Maxim., and the hybrid Carpinus caroliniana x C. coreana, were significantly less susceptible and less suitable to feeding and for reproduction by Japanese beetles. Leaf tissue removed was related to the amount of frass produced, but was not related to leaf thickness, inner or outer leaf toughness, or fecundity. Frass production did not reflect fecundity. Hybridization may have either a positive or negative effect on host susceptibility, preference, and suitability. When a moderately preferred species such as C. caroliniana Walter or C. betulus L. is crossed with a species of equal or higher susceptibility, (i.e. C. coreana Nakai, Blume, or C. laxiflora (Sieb. and Zucc.) Blume) feeding preference increases. A “C. tschonskii factor” (Maxim.) appears to affect susceptibility and preference. There does not appear to be a large pool of Carpinus taxa suitable for future tree breeding programs in areas where Japanese beetle outbreaks are common. Potential use of Carpinus taxa in urban landscapes and forests is discussed.

Published: March 2021

When balled-and-burlapped trees are planted, a decision must be made regarding whether the wire basket, burlap, and other packing materials should be removed (completely or partially) or retained. While past research has failed to show a significant impact of either approach with regard to initial growth and establishment, many professionals still question whether a decision to leave the wire basket intact at planting will have longer-term impacts to tree health and stability. In this study, we revisit two nursery trials first initiated in 2011 and 2012 to assess the impact of burlap folding, and full wire basket removal, partial removal, or retention on tree growth and root anchorage five to six growing years after planting. We found that neither stem caliper (min P = 0.249) nor twig elongation (min P = 0.297) differed among removal treatments with the Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.) and ‘Skycole' honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos L. var. inermis) trees used in this study. Similarly, we were unable to detect any differences in rooting strength among the removal treatments tested (min P = 0.154). These results serve as further evidence that wire baskets are not a cause of early tree mortality or instability.

Negative Life Events and Time Perspective Among Adolescents
Authors: Chandler Julie V. , Mello Zena R.
Published: March 2021

We examined negative life events and time perspective in adolescents. Negative life events were nonnormative experiences including school suspension, running away from home, or the death of a family member. Time perspective referred to thoughts and feelings about the past, present, and future. We assessed multiple dimensions including orientations and positive and negative feelings about time. Participants were 790 adolescents and data were self-reported. Findings indicated that (a) adolescents who experienced the highest number of negative life events were oriented toward the past, whereas adolescents who experienced the fewest negative life events were oriented toward the three time periods equally, and (b) negative life events were positively associated with negative feelings and inversely associated with positive feelings about time.

A study of quantum correlations in open quantum systems
Authors: Chakrabarty Indranil , Banerjee Subhashish , Siddharth Nana
Published: March 2021

In this work, we study quantum correlations in mixed states. The states studied are modeled by a two-qubit system interacting with its environment via a quantum non demolition (purely dephasing) as well as dissipative type of interaction. The entanglement dynamics of this two qubit system is analyzed. We make a comparative study of various measures of quantum correlations, like Concurrence, Bell's inequality, Discord and Teleportation fidelity, on these states, generated by the above evolutions. We classify these evoluted states on basis of various dynamical parameters like bath squeezing parameter $r$, inter-qubit spacing $r_{12}$, temperature $T$ and time of system-bath evolution $t$. In this study, in addition we report the existence of entangled states which do not violate Bell's inequality, but can still be useful as a potential resource for teleportation. Moreover we study the dynamics of quantum as well as classical correlation in presence of dissipative coherence.
Dirac four-potential tunings-based quantum transistor utilizing the Lorentz force
Authors: Trisetyarso Agung
Published: March 2021

We propose a mathematical model of \textit{quantum} transistor in which bandgap engineering corresponds to the tuning of Dirac potential in the complex four-vector form. The transistor consists of $n$-relativistic spin qubits moving in \textit{classical} external electromagnetic fields. It is shown that the tuning of the direction of the external electromagnetic fields generates perturbation on the potential temporally and spatially, determining the type of quantum logic gates. The theory underlying of this scheme is on the proposal of the intertwining operator for Darboux transfomations on one-dimensional Dirac equation amalgamating the \textit{vector-quantum gates duality} of Pauli matrices. Simultaneous transformation of qubit and energy can be accomplished by setting the $\{\textit{control, cyclic}\}$-operators attached on the coupling between one-qubit quantum gate: the chose of \textit{cyclic}-operator swaps the qubit and energy simultaneously, while \textit{control}-operator ensures the energy conservation.

Authors: Cusson Benoit , Mailhot Tony
Published: March 2021

The Gouin bascule bridge is a 1,300 tons gigantic steel structure that allows pleasure boats to enter the Chambly Canal National Historic Site and provides access over the Richelieu river for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. As part of a project to revitalize and modernize the city centre, the architectural concept of the movable bridge will provide a landmark to this highly touristic site. There are only few examples in the world of such movable bridges with a large suspended counterweight. The challenges of the project include strict architectural criteria, fabrication and alignment of over 800 mm in diameter pins, the assembly on-site of remarkably large bridge parts and the precise balancing of the bridge.

When designing this structure, WSP made sure to consider the non-redundant aspect of some parts of the structure. Details regarding the design of the stays supporting the entire upper structure and the hydraulic cylinders initiating the rotation are described in this paper. The planning of the works in the middle of the critical infrastructures and services surrounding the bridge is explained. Since no interruption of the navigation on the canal was allowed during construction, some special considerations had to be taken with regards to the works at the foundation units.

Published: March 2021

Modern numerical computational tools are available to evaluate bridge aerodynamics. An effective parametrization can be applied to analyze different alternatives. Steady and self-excited aerodynamics investigations were performed with the help of modern CFD tools, in order to improve the overall bridge design. Different airflow control alternatives for bridge deck aerodynamics are investigated, such as installation of wind shields, installation of guide vanes, protective traffic and wind fences. These elements influence the aerodynamic performance and can lead to a reduction of global bridge response. The early design phase is most suited for the introduction of these possibilities and optimization processes. Successful design can be achieved by utilizing different aerodynamic aspects of torsional divergence check, galloping, multimodal flutter instability and their effects on the global bridge response. Presented works are some alternatives from expert group work on the multi-pontoon floating bridge project Bjørnafjorden. Complex global bridge response consists of structural bridge dynamics, hydrodynamic interaction and wind interaction. Aerodynamic optimization can lead to better use of material in the structure. The publications is a collection of work performed on different aerodynamics tasks, offering comprehensive overview of wind design.

Increasing the financial literacy of mosque administrators plays an important role to increase accountability and transparency in managing mosque finance. It is caused the mosque functions not only as a place of worship but also as a center for social activities of the community using funds originating from the community. Every rupiah of community funds used must be accounted to the community. Therefore, the existence of accounting used in the process of recording and preparing mosque financial reports is very vital.

This Community service is held at the Imaduddin Mosque, which is one of the educational reference mosques in Padang. All this time, the mosque administrators managed funds in a very large amount. However, the management of these funds has not been supported by adequate financial recording and reporting, which make dissatisfaction to the funders. This is due to the limited competence of HR management and lack of understanding about  recording and financial statements. To solve this problems, training will be provided for recording and preparing financial reports and simple applications for preparing financial statements.

The output of this community service is to increase financial literacy and to train mosque administrators in recording and preparing financial reports. The approach offered to the partner is workshops and financial report training for non-profit organizations using Microsoft Excel. It is also produced a financial report preparation module which can be guided by the mosque management.

Thiti as an Institution for Sustainable Management of the Resources in the Himalaya
Authors: Poudel Jiban Mani
Published: March 2021

Himalayan communities still have traditional ecological knowledge with a strong social mechanism for the management of resources to live in a harsh environment. This paper mainly discusses two thematic issues; how the Himalayan people optimize the use of limited resources to thrive in a harsh environment, and what the key socio-cultural factors which help them to survive in the rugged environment sustainably. The paper is based on nine months of ethnographic study from 2012-2018among Gurungs, agro-pastoral communities in Nhason Valley of Manang. The findings reveal that thiti is a socio-cultural institution to Himalayan dwellers that controls the behavior of the people in a society; the source of the awareness and recognition of the fragile resources for living in rugged terrain; means of defining rights on resources. In the Himalayan region, indigenous ecological knowledge does not work in isolation; it is intertwined with a socio-cultural institution that unfolds in a social context.

This article presents a new theoretical construct, Social Affinity Flow Theory (SAFT), which both describes and predicts fl ow phenomena across a diversity of human social systems and is founded upon constructal law. Constructal law and its associated s-curves describe many phenomena, both in nature and in human societies. Extrapolated from the work of Bejan and Zane and integrating social science research, it provides a foundational explanation of social rifts prevalent in many societies today as well as constructive efforts of social change, whether secular or religiously based. A primary example of constructive change explained by SAFT is the community-building work of the Bahá’í Faith, as reflected in both its teachings and its training institute process.

A Feasibility Study of Microbialites as Paleomagnetic Recorders
Authors: Jung Ji-In , Bowles Julie A.
Published: March 2021

Microbialites–layered, organosedimentary deposits–exist in the geologic record and extend back in deep time, including all estimated times of inner core nucleation. Microbialites may preserve magnetic field variations at high-resolution based on their estimated growth rates. Previous studies have shown that microbialites can have a stable magnetization. However, the timing and origin of microbialite magnetization were not well determined, and no study has attempted to evaluate whether actively growing microbialites record the geomagnetic field. Here, we present centimeter-scale magnetization and magnetic property variations within the structure of modern microbialites from Great Salt Lake (GSL), United States, and Laguna Bacalar, Mexico, Pleistocene microbialites from GSL, and a Cambrian microbialite from Mongolia. All samples record field directions close to the expected value. The dominant magnetic carrier has a coercivity of 35–50 mT and unblocking temperatures are consistent with magnetite. A small proportion of additional high coercivity minerals such as hematite are also present, but do not appear to appreciably contribute to the natural remanent magnetization (NRM). Magnetization is broadly consistent along microbialite layers, and directional variations correlate with the internal slope of the layers. These observations suggest that the documented NRM may be primarily detrital in origin and that the timing of magnetization acquisition can be close to that of sediment deposition.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common condition that disproportionately affects young people, 50% of whom will develop knee osteoarthritis (OA) within 10 years of rupture. ACL rupture exhibits both hereditary and environmental risk factors, but the genetic basis of the disease remains unexplained. Spontaneous ACL rupture in the dog has a similar disease presentation and progression, making it a valuable genomic model for ACL rupture. We leveraged the dog model with Bayesian mixture model (BMM) analysis (BayesRC) to identify novel and relevant genetic variants associated with ACL rupture. We performed RNA sequencing of ACL and synovial tissue and assigned single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within differentially expressed genes to biological prior classes. SNPs with the largest effects were on chromosomes 3, 5, 7, 9, and 24. Selection signature analysis identified several regions under selection in ACL rupture cases compared to controls. These selection signatures overlapped with genome-wide associations with ACL rupture as well as morphological traits. Notable findings include differentially expressedACSF3withMC1R(coat color) and an association on chromosome 7 that overlaps the boundaries ofSMAD2(weight and body size). Smaller effect associations were within or near genes associated with regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix, including several collagen genes. The results of the current analysis are consistent with previous work published by our laboratory and others, and also highlight new genes in biological pathways that have not previously been associated with ACL rupture. The genetic associations identified in this study mirror those found in human beings, which lays the groundwork for development of disease-modifying therapies for both species.

Chronic granulomatous Disease (CGD) is a rare innate immunodeficiency disorder caused by mutations in one of the six genes (CYBA, CYBB, NCF1, NCF2, NCF4, and CYBC1/EROS) encoding the superoxide-producing nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)—oxidase complex in phagocytes. In the Western population, the most prevalent form of CGD (about two-thirds of all cases) is the X-linked form (X-CGD) caused by mutations in CYBB. The autosomal recessive forms (AR-CGD), due to mutations in the other genes, collectively account for the remaining one-third of CGD cases. We investigated the clinical and molecular features of 22 Jordanian, 7 Libyan, and 2 Iraqi CGD patients from 21 different families. In addition, 11 sibling patients from these families were suspected to have been died from CGD as suggested by their familial and clinical history. All patients except 9 were children of consanguineous parents. Most of the patients suffered from AR-CGD, with mutations in CYBA, NCF1, and NCF2, encoding p22phox, p47phox, and p67phox proteins, respectively. AR-CGD was the most frequent form, in Jordan probably because consanguineous marriages are common in this country. Only one patient from non-consanguineous parents suffered from an X910 CGD subtype (0 indicates no protein expression). AR670 CGD and AR220 CGD appeared to be the most frequently found sub-types but also the most severe clinical forms compared to AR470 CGD. As a geographical clustering of 11 patients from eight Jordanian families exhibited the c.1171_1175delAAGCT mutation in NCF2, segregation analysis with nine polymorphic markers overlapping NCF2 indicates that a common ancestor has arisen ~1,075 years ago.

Human High-Frequency-Oscillations (HFO) in the ripple band are oscillatory brain activity in the frequency range between 80 and 250 Hz. HFOs may comprise different subgroups that either play a role in physiologic or pathologic brain functions. An exact differentiation between physiologic and pathologic HFOs would help elucidate their relevance for cognitive and epileptogenic brain mechanisms, but the criteria for differentiating between physiologic and pathologic HFOs remain controversial. In particular, the separation of pathologic HFOs from physiologic HFOs could improve the identification of epileptogenic brain regions during the pre-surgical evaluation of epilepsy patients. In this study, we performed intracranial electroencephalography recordings from the hippocampus of epilepsy patients before, during, and after the patients completed a spatial navigation task. We isolated hippocampal ripples from the recordings and categorized the ripples into the putative pathologic group iesRipples, when they coincided with interictal spikes, and the putative physiologic group isolRipples, when they did not coincide with interictal spikes. We found that the occurrence of isolRipples significantly decreased during the task as compared to periods before and after the task. The rate of iesRipples was not modulated by the task. In patients who completed the spatial navigation task on two consecutive days, we furthermore examined the occurrence of ripples in the intervening night. We found that the rate of ripples that coincided with sleep spindles and were therefore putatively physiologic correlated with the performance improvement on the spatial navigation task, whereas the rate of all ripples did not show this relationship. Together, our results suggest that the differentiation of HFOs into putative physiologic and pathologic subgroups may help identify their role for spatial memory and memory consolidation processes. Conversely, excluding putative physiologic HFOs from putative pathologic HFOs may improve the HFO-based identification of epileptogenic brain regions in future studies.
Leader–Employee Congruence in Humor and Innovative Behavior: The Moderating Role of Dynamic Tenure
Authors: Yuan Yue
Published: March 2021

Drawing upon the literature on complementary fit theory, the purpose of this study is to examine how the dynamic tenure moderates the relationship between leader–employee congruence/incongruence in humor and employee innovative behavior. Data were collected from 108 leader–employee dyads from information technology companies in China. Polynomial regression combined with the response surface methodology was used to test the hypotheses. Four conclusions were drawn. First, employee innovative behavior was maximized when leaders and employees were incongruent in humor. Second, in the case of incongruence, employees had higher innovative behavior when employees were more humorous than their leaders. Third, in the case of congruence, employees had higher innovative behavior when a leader’s and an employee’s humor matched at high levels. Fourth, dynamic tenure moderated the leader–employee congruence/incongruence effect of humor on employee innovative behavior. This study enhanced theoretical developments by considering the importance of leaders’ congruence with employees in humor for the first time. Additionally, the research results provided better practical guidance for effectively promoting employee innovative behavior.

Masa pandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan perubahan strategi pembelajaran dari offline menjadi online. Pembelajaran online ini bukan merupakan hal baru, namun pembelajaran online pada masa pandemi sangat berbeda karena pembelajaran harus dilakukan full daring selama 1 semester. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penerapan video conference dalam pembelajaran sinkronus yang dilakukan secara online. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimentasi dengan populasi mahasiswa Teknik Informatika STIKI, dengan pengambilan sampel secara random pada mahasiswa yang menempuh mata kuliah bersama dan mata kuliah keahlian. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah Uji Mann Whitney. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah tidak ada perbedaan hasil belajar yang diukur dari nilai posttest mahasiswa antara pembelajaran daring dengan menggunakan video conference dan LMS Moodle yang dikembangkan di STIKI tanpa menggunakan video conference pada mata kuliah bersama. Sedangkan pada mata kuliah keahlian ada perbedaan hasil belajar yang diukur dari nilai posttest mahasiswa antara kegiatan perkuliahan daring dengan menggunakan video conference dan kegiatan daring dengan Moodle saja tanpa menggunakan video conference. Pembelajaran melalui video conference tidak selalu berpengaruh pada hasil belajar, namun ada beberapa faktor lain yang mempengaruhi, seperti tingkat kesulitan materi dan ketertarikan mahasiswa untuk mempelajari materi.
