Published: August 2024

The assessment of chicken breast meat freshness is crucial for ensuring food safety and meeting consumer expectations in the poultry industry. This study focuses on classifying chicken breast meat freshness into ‘fresh’ and ‘not fresh’ categories using a dataset of 349 images. Initially, images were segmented based on the YCbCr color space, followed by fractal dimension feature extraction using the box counting method. Utilizing a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classifier, the dataset was validated using the 10-fold cross-validation method, achieving a classification accuracy of 94.55%, with precision and recall at 96% and 93.07%, respectively. The integration of YCbCr color segmentation and fractal dimension feature extraction proved effective in distinguishing freshness levels of chicken meat, offering a reliable and objective approach for assessing chicken meat freshness with implications for poultry industry quality control. This research contributes to advancing image-based freshness classification techniques, highlighting the potential of combining color analysis and fractal features for accurate and efficient results.

Acesso extra oral para remoção de dentes inclusos ectópicos: relato de caso
Authors: Moraes Beatriz Thuany Azevedo de , Castro Bárbara Borges de , Bugarin Júnior João Geraldo
Published: August 2024

Dentes ectópicos, por definição, são dentes que se desenvolvem em locais distintos do seu posicionamento normal na arcada dentária. Dentes inclusos são elementos que, ao chegar o tempo de erupção na cavidade oral, permanecem presos aos tecidos. Um elemento dentário que apresenta associação de ambas as condições, ou seja, encontra-se ectópico e incluso pode causar danos aos tecidos subjacentes. As imagens são fundamentais para o correto diagnóstico e importantes para assegurar de que no tratamento cirúrgico, as estruturas nobres foram respeitadas, para não provocar nenhum outro desconforto ao paciente na cirurgia. As exposições do acesso diferem em alguns pontos, mas em casos onde o dente se encontra mais próximo da base da mandíbula, o acesso é feito por via extra-oral 1cm a 2cm abaixo da base da mandíbula. Pontos anatômicos propícios na face, úteis durante a dissecação, necessitam ser expostos durante todo o procedimento, evitando assim, que sejam tocados ou lacerados. O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma breve revisão de literatura sobre dentes inclusos ectópicos bem como relatar um caso clínico de um paciente que apresentava um dente incluso e ectópico em base de mandíbula, cujo tratamento se deu por acesso extra-oral.

Partai Islam dan Pluralisme: Kajian atas Pandangan dan Sikap Politik Partai Masyumi
Authors: Firman Noor  , Ade Wiharso
Published: August 2024

Koherensi Islam dan pluralisme di Indonesia berawal dari realitas masyarakat Indonesia yang sangatlah pluralis, baik dari segi etnis, adat istiadat, maupun agama. Selain Islam, realitasnya bahwa hampir semua agama, khususnya agama besar dapat berkembang subur dan terwakili aspirasinya di Indonesia. Beberapa studi menunjukkan adanya sikap setengah hati dari sebagian umat Islam Indonesia dalam menerima dan menjalankan pluralisme. Kalangan penolak pluralisme memiliki kecenderungan bahwa pluralisme agama sebagai paham dan bukan keniscayaan dari realitas. Salah satu ikon yang dianggap mewakili umat Islam dalam konteks mewakili cita-cita dan perjuangan ajaran Islam pada masa lalu adalah Masyumi. Partai ini tercatat sebagai partai Islam terbesar dalam sejarah Indonesia. Buku Partai Islam dan Pluralisme: Kajian atas Pandangan dan Sikap Politik Partai Masyumi membahas hubungan antara partai Islam dan pluralisme. Kajian pandangan dan sikap Partai Masyumi sebagai partai Islam di Indonesia pada masa Orde Lama yang moderat dalam sikap dan pandangan politiknya, jauh dari kesan ekstrem, yang anti pluralisme. Meskipun sebagian kalangan mengatakan bahwa Masyumi bertanggung jawab terhadap tumbuhnya benih "fanatisme" terhadap Islam, dalam pengalaman hidup Masyumi itu sendiri pluralisme adalah sesuatu yang dihormati dan dijalankan dengan baik oleh partai Islam ini. Buku ini tidak saja akan dapat memberikan gambaran yang lebih komprehensif, tetapi juga dapat memperlihatkan perkembangan pemikiran dan sikap mayoritas umat Islam dalam menerima pluralisme.

Introduction: The Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) is one of questionnaires for the measurement of treatment success, which is widely used in patients after vestibular schwannoma treatment.Aim: This study aimed to adapt the GBI originally written in English to Polish conditions and to evaluate its psychometric properties.Material and methods: The Polish version of the GBI used in this study was prepared by a bilingual translator, and its accuracy was ensured by back-translation. To identify the structure of the Polish version of the GBI, exploratory factor analysis was performed. The reliability was determined using Cronbach’s α. To verify the validity, correlation analysis was conducted between the domains of GBI and other questionnaires.Results: The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the original 3-factor model is not a good fit for the data. The exploratory factor analysis was performed and identified 4 factors. The total variance of the 4-factor solution was 66.25%. The Cronbach’s α calculated for the total GBI reached 0.91. Our analysis confirmed significant weak or moderate correlations between tools for the measurement of general QoL (AQoL-8D: r = 0.411; p = 0.000) and health-related QoL (PANQOL: r = 0.367; p = 0.000; a tool dedicated for patients with VS), well-being (WHO-5: r = 0.432; p = 0.000), hearing and tinnitus (STS: r = –0.217; p = 0.016).Conclusions: This study reports the first adaptation of the GBI for patients with VS to Polish conditions. The results demonstrated that the Polish version of the GBI is a reliable and valid questionnaire that can be used to measure treatment success.

Published: August 2024

Las variantes genéticas del complemento C4 se asocian a polimorfismos diversos que modifican la presentación cualitativa y cuantitativa de las isoformas C4A y C4B que intervienen en el mecanismo de la respuesta inmunitaria y se correlacionan con una alteración de la autotolerancia inmunológica y un incremento en el riesgo de autoinmunidad. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar las variantes genéticas del complemento C4 y su asociación con las enfermedades autoinmunes prevalentes. El diseño metodológico estuvo basado en una investigación documental bibliográfica con alcance descriptivo, orientado a la revisión y análisis de la literatura científica disponible en bases de datos académicos y fuentes indexadas que fueron seleccionadas mediante el uso de operadores boleanos. Los resultados determinaron que las variantes genéticas del gen C4 se producen debido a mecanismos frecuentes de recombinación que varían el número de módulos del complejo RCCX y son responsables de las diferencias en el número, estructura y funcionalidad de las copias del gen C4, esto conduce a la aparición y desarrollo de diversas patologías autoinmunes que alteran biomarcadores específicos del perfil inmunológico. En conclusión, el número deficiente de copias de los genes C4A y C4B desequilibran los efectos fisiológicos de la respuesta inmune óptima y son determinantes en la aparición, evolución y tratamiento de las enfermedades autoinmunes como el lupus eritematoso sistémico, artritis reumatoide y esclerosis sistémica, que están presentes y difieren según el sexo del individuo, los grupos étnicos y poblacionales.

Published: August 2024

Introdução: O câncer colorretal (CCR) é o terceiro tipo de câncer mais frequente no mundo em ambos os sexos, iniciando no intestino grosso e se estendendo até a parte inferior do sistema digestivo. No entanto, complicações como a formação de abscesso, sangramento, perfuração e obstrução surgem em alguns pacientes com câncer de cólon. O fator de risco mais importante é a história familiar de CCR e a predisposição genética ao desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas do intestino, além de dieta, consumo excessivo de álcool e tabagismo. Quando identificada precocemente, é uma patologia que apresenta um bom prognóstico, por isso evidencia-se a importância da colonoscopia como exame de rastreio. Objetivo: demonstrar a importância de exames para identificar precocemente o câncer de cólon a fim de um melhor prognóstico e evitar possíveis complicações. Métodos: A partir de um caso médico ocorrido na Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Presidente Prudente, e seu prontuário, foram coletadas informações para realização desse relato. Resultados: O CCR tem como característica o aparecimento de metástases. Além disso, esse tipo de neoplasia ocorre mais comumente em idosos, como no caso da paciente deste estudo. A conduta médica depende da avaliação conjunta do quadro clínico-laboratorial-radiológico apresentado pelo paciente, e seu tratamento varia de acordo com o estadiamento. Conclusão: O tratamento do CCR varia entre ressecção endoscópica de pólipo maligno, cirurgia isolada e cirurgia associada a quimioterapia. Portanto, identificar a doença o mais cedo possível aumenta significativamente as chances de cura, juntamente com um tratamento e acompanhamento adequados.

Assessing the Effectiveness of UML Models in Software System Development
Authors: AlRababah Ahmad AbdulQadir
Published: August 2024

The substantial advancements in microelectronic technology over recent decades have resulted in a progressive expansion of hardware resources. Nevertheless, the utilizable fraction of these resources for actual application realization constitutes a mere fraction of the overall availability, commonly referred to as the design gap. The escalating intricacy of designs, coupled with the imperative of minimizing time-to-market, necessitates the exploration of innovative development methodologies to effectively tackle challenges such as verification, synthesis, and testing within reasonable timeframes. This paper introduces an approach facilitating comprehensive, precise, and object-oriented specifications for hardware/software systems, employing UML 2.0. Furthermore, it details an automated compilation process that transforms these specifications into directly executable applications encompassing both hardware and software modules.

Authors: C. Tinaytina Joan
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to determine the level of technology research management among elementary teachers of Zamboanga City and its significant influence on their research engagement. Furthermore, it sought to figure out the significant difference between elementary teachers’ technology research management and research engagement as the data is compared based on their sex, generation, position, and years of engagement as a researcher on their schools’ research projects. It tried to find out the challenges met by elementary teachers regarding technology research management. Moreover, this study gathered 159 elementary teachers who have involvement in schools’ research projects across Zamboanga City who were selected through a purposive sampling method to share their technological managerial practices in research and their engagement. Also, it employed mixed method design to gain the answers to all aforementioned research problems. The study examined the relationship between teachers’ technological research management and their research engagement. The findings revealed that teachers were moderately skilled in managing technology research and highly engaged in research. The cognitive aspect of research engagement was positively influenced by social media communication, while the behavioral and affective aspects were influenced by technical writing and social media communication. This suggests that teachers’ technological research management significantly influences their research engagement. Demographic profiles did not show a significant difference in technological research management and research engagement. However, challenges such as time flexibility, limited resources, lack of competence, and limited opportunity hindered teachers’ technology research management and engagement. The study recommends including technology research management and engagement in Schools’ Improvement Plans to promote research culture and integrating technology management in schools. It also suggests developing technology research training to enhance teachers’ competence and addressing the challenges to encourage educational research in schools, aligning with the vision of the Department of Education.

Published: August 2024

This paper discusses the preparation and morphology of nanosilica produced from rice husk ash powder (WRHAP) by the precipitation method. There were three steps involved in the production of nanosilica from WRHAP using the precipitation method which involved extraction of silica from WRHAP, formation of silica gel and extraction of pure silica through the reflux process. The precipitation process of WRHAP was carried out using chemical treatments. The morphology of nanosilica particles observed under Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) showed the agglomeration of particles with spherical shape with diameters of 87 nm, 53 nm and 2 nm. The presence of siloxane bond was evident with the appearance of strong peaks in the silica nanosilica powder analysed using Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR). A broad peak centred at 2θ angle of 22o was detected in the x-ray spectra (XRD) of nanosilica powder indicated an amorphous structure of pure silica, with the presence of small peaks due to some residues from the precipitation process.
