Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kwon Seung A , Lee Boram
Published: February 2024

Objectives Paying attention to the phenomenon of a gender gap in the choice of a major in the engineering de-partment, this study set out to examine whether there was differential item functioning by gender and what caused it by analyzing the items related to engineering in the Korean College Major Interest Inventory, 2nd Edition(KCMII-2).
Methods For this purpose, the study used the data of 9,069 respondents who answered the activity preference items and the data of 9,040 respondents who answered the vocational preference items in the engineering sec-tion of the inventory in its analysis before checking if the data met the normal distribution and unidimensionality assumption requirements. Differential item functioning was extracted with the ‘lordif’ package of R and the PARSCALE program. The items whose differential function was found both in the programs were chosen as the final differential item functioning.
Results The results of testing the assumption of unidimensionality suggested the possibility of other dimensions of latent trait beyond activity and career preferences. Subsequent analysis conducted through differential item functioning analysis revealed that nine out of the 30 activity preference items and seven out of the 30 vocational preference items were extracted as differential item functioning. All these items except for one activity preference item were favorable to female students. The activity preference items whose differential function included majors in life science and biotechnology, computer software, environmental studies and energy, and chemistry and chemical engineering. In terms of career preference, the differential functioning items encompassed majors in life science and biotechnology, chemistry and chemical engineering, and environmental studies and energy.
Conclusions The study then inferred the causes of the differential item function extracted based on the findings and discussed the future direction of career education to help high school students overcome the gender gap in the choice of an engineering career and make a reasonable and sustainable career and occupation choice.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim chae rin
Published: February 2024

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze the performance of the labor market according to whether col-lege graduates participate in government employment policies. In this study, the government's employment poli-cy is Korea’s Training Credit Programs and the Youth Job-Seeking Activity Subsidy. The labor market performance consisted of employment status, employment type, job size, wages, and job satisfaction through a review of pre-vious studies.
Methods The population of the study is college graduates between the ages of 26 and 34. However, since there is a limit to conducting research on the entire population, this study utilized 2019GOMS among the data of the College Graduates Occupational Mobility Survey(GOMS) provided by the Korea Employment Information Service. Excluding missing values, the final targets were 948 people with the Korea’s Training Credit Programs and 964 people with Youth Job-Seeking Activity Subsidy. For data analysis, logistic regression analysis and least squares regression analysis, including propensity score matching, were conducted using the Stata 17.0 program. At this time, individual characteristic factors(gender, age), employment activity factors(linguistic training, certificate), and school characteristic factors(university type, university location, major) were dummized and put into control variables.
Results As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that neither policy(Korea’s Training Credit Programs, Youth Job-Seeking Activity Subsidy) had a positive effect on labor market performance according to participation.
Conclusions Therefore, in this paper, I would like to review the results of the government's employment policy that did not have a positive effect on labor market performance, and to identify and present the causes. This is ex-pected to play an important role in future employment policy operation and research.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Seunghee , Kim Boyoung
Published: February 2024

Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the moderated mediating effect of the acculturation strategy on the relationship with the impact of changed ethnic identity on reverse cultural shock and psychological social adaption to adults who returned to work after living abroad.
Methods The survey was conducted between February 22 and March 27, 2020 on 202 adults who returned to Korea and are working after living abroad for at least 3 years, and collected data that did not consent to the collec-tion and use of personal information, excluding those, 199 copies were used as final analysis data. The mediation effect, the moderation effect and the moderated mediating effect were analyzed through SPSS 25.0 and SPSS Macro.
Results The results were as follows; The reverse culture shock was significant on the relationship between the ethnic identity and psychological social adaption. Also the moderation effect of assimilation and separation strat-egies was verified on the relationship between reverse cultural shock and psychological social adaption even though there was a limitation in investigating the moderated mediating effect of the integration strategy, which is a sub-strategies of acculturation strategy due to the reliability problem. Lastly, assimilation and separation strategies moderated the mediating effect of reverse cultural shock between internalized ethnic identity and psy-chological social adaption.
Conclusions These findings showed the impact of ethnic identity and reverse cultural shock on psychological so-cial adaptation, and high level of assimilation and low level of separation strategies were expected to be risks for psychological social adaptation. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study were discussed.

Published: February 2024

Magnetic reconnection is the primary driver of magnetospheric activity
by coupling the magnetosphere to the interplanetary medium with an
efficiency that depends critically on its location. Several models have
been proposed for the location of reconnection, but none are
consistently supported by global simulations and in-situ measurements
have been too scarce to fully address the problem from a global and
parametric standpoint. In this work, we investigate how the spatial
distributions of physical quantities known to be important in the
magnetic process might constrain the location of global X-lines at the
magnetopause. We use in-situ measurements from four missions (Cluster,
Doublestar, THEMIS, MMS), automatically selected using statistical
learning, to reconstruct the global distribution of the magnetic shear
angle, current density, and asymmetric reconnection rate at the dayside
magnetopause. The comparison of the magnetic shear maps from in-situ
measurements with those obtained with magnetic field models reveals
important spatial discrepancies for a certain range of IMF cone angles
(12.5°±2.5°≤|Ө|≤45°±5°), but also a
difference in the behavior of the lines maximizing this quantity with
respect to the IMF clock angle. The parametric study of the effect of
the IMF and the dipole tilt orientation shows that the IMF cone angle
creates strong asymmetries in the distribution of the above-mentioned
quantities and changes their dependence on the IMF clock and the dipole
tilt angles. Finally, we show that the X-line constructed by maximizing
a given quantity gives local orientations of magnetic reconnection that
are inconsistent with the predictions suggested by local simulation
studies.
Candidate Selection in Teams: Be the Best or Surround Yourself with the Best?

Published: February 2024

This study investigates, via an experiment, how the decentralization of a firm’s selection process affects the caliber of the chosen candidate in a team-based environment. We predict and find that, when decision makers have comprehensive and unambiguous candidate-specific information regarding who is the best for the job, the quality of the selected candidates is lower under a decentralized versus centralized selection process. We also find that nonpecuniary status concerns drive the effect. Results of two boundary conditions reveal that, as the clarity of information regarding who is the best candidate for the job decreases (due to decision-makers having weaker or mixed signals about job candidates), the quality of selected candidates becomes no worse under a decentralized than under a centralized selection process. Overall, our results indicate that nonpecuniary status considerations and information environment can influence candidate selection decisions in organizations.

Published: February 2024

OBJECTIVE

To assess risk of anaphylaxis among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are initiating therapy with a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), with a focus on those starting lixisenatide therapy.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A cohort study was conducted in three large, U.S. claims databases (2017–2021). Adult (aged ≥18 years) new users of a GLP-1 RA who had type 2 diabetes mellitus and ≥6 months enrollment in the database before GLP-1 RA initiation (start of follow-up) were included. GLP-1 RAs evaluated were lixisenatide, an insulin glargine/lixisenatide fixed-ratio combination (FRC), exenatide, liraglutide or insulin degludec/liraglutide FRC, dulaglutide, and semaglutide (injectable and oral). The first anaphylaxis event during follow-up was identified using a validated algorithm. Incidence rates (IRs) and 95% CIs were calculated within each medication cohort. The unadjusted IR ratio (IRR) comparing anaphylaxis rates in the lixisenatide cohort with all other GLP-1 RAs combined was analyzed post hoc.

RESULTS

There were 696,089 new users with 456,612 person-years of exposure to GLP-1 RAs. Baseline demographics, comorbidities, and use of other prescription medications in the 6 months before the index date were similar across medication cohorts. IRs (95% CIs) per 10,000 person-years were 1.0 (0.0–5.6) for lixisenatide, 6.0 (3.6–9.4) for exenatide, 5.1 (3.7–7.0) for liraglutide, 3.9 (3.1–4.8) for dulaglutide, and 3.6 (2.6–4.9) for semaglutide. The IRR (95% CI) for the anaphylaxis rate for the lixisenatide cohort compared with the pooled other GLP-1 RA cohort was 0.24 (0.01–1.35).

CONCLUSIONS

Anaphylaxis is rare with GLP-1 RAs. Lixisenatide is unlikely to confer higher risk of anaphylaxis than other GLP-1 RAs.
Laser soldering of nickel plated steel sheets

Published: February 2024

The growing prominence of the electric vehicle industry, fueled by environmental concerns, has demanded innovation in various aspects of battery technologies with special emphasis on increasing the efficiency of both electric storage and its retrieval. An unexplored area of this is to identify the possibilities and limits of laser soldering. Here, we reveal the effects of surface pretreatment conditions and the amount of filler, along with the laser power and irradiation time on the characteristics of laser-soldered joints, by simultaneously evaluating the electrical and mechanical behavior of laser-soldered nickel-plated steel sheets (Hilumin®). By describing the morphological characteristics of the resolidified solder and the electrical and mechanical properties of the joints, we identify three, characteristically different morphological appearances and highlight the optimal one, where uniform and mostly void-free solder can be produced. Furthermore, we report a correlation between the threshold of upper sheet melting (either expressed as laser power or irradiation time) and joint deterioration in terms of the electrical and mechanical properties of the joint. We conclude that laser soldering can create joints with outstanding electrical conductance and adequate mechanical stability that meets the critical specifications of battery joining technologies when the surface pretreatment condition and processing parameters are properly optimized.

Published: February 2024

In this paper, we theoretically simulate the dynamic evolution of plasma from the interaction between a nanosecond pulsed laser and aluminum targets. The self-luminous image of the plasma plume during the laser loading process was experimentally obtained using high-speed photography. Theoretical and experimental results demonstrated that the plasma shielding effect and plasma lateral expansion have a significant effect on the plasma plume. It will affect laser–target coupling and further affect the evolution of plasma plumes. The detonation wave contained in the early stage of the laser-induced plasma plume directly affects the subsequent shock wave.

Authors: Sulestri  , Aziz Abdul , Fathurohman Mohamad , Hayati Nur Rohmah , Ihtiari Dhiya Ayu Tsamrotul
Published: February 2024

The society's beliefs in Java regarding traditions related to Islamic education values can be diverse and complex due to Java's rich cultural and historical background with various beliefs. Therefore, it is important to note that each group or community in Java may have different perspectives on traditions and Islamic educational values. This research aims to analyze the history, process, and Islamic educational values found in the Becekan Rajab tradition in Javanese society. The research uses a qualitative method with field research. The results of the study show that the Becekan tradition historically originated from the instinct of an ancestor named Mbah Pucet, the first Village Head of Kaliwungukidul Ngombol Purworejo, around 1930. This tradition is part of the village's traditional ritual or village cleansing, which is held every 27th of Rajab. The series of the Becekan tradition ceremony begins with cleaning the graves, slaughtering a goat at the gravesite, reciting Yasin Tahlil, and holding religious lectures. Islamic educational values present in the Becekan tradition include values of faith, ethics, appreciation for knowledge, humanity, balance, and compassion for all (rahmatan lil’alamin). This research can help Javanese communities understand the Becekan tradition more deeply, including its history, implementation process, and the values it contains. It can broaden people's awareness of local traditions and strengthen their cultural identity.

Background: Post-Caesarean section morbidity due to pain is a health concern to both the mother and the clinician. This is because good post-operative pain control helps early recovery and mother-baby bonding with early discharge. Various combinations aimed at this have not had any consensus unlike labour analgesia. This study is aimed at helping clinicians in decision making toward post cesarean pain analgesia. Methodology: This was a double-blinded randomized controlled trial following Caesarean section under spinal anesthesia over a 6month period. One hundred and seventy eligible participants were randomized into two groups. Group A received intramuscular Tramadol 100mg 8 hourly for 24 hours. Group B received intramuscular acetaminophen 600mg 8 hourly for 24 hours. Both groups received Rectal Diclofenac 100mg 8 hourly for 24 hours. The first dose of the drugs was administered one hour after the surgery. All the participants received 10mg of prophylactic metoclopramide. The outcome measures were post-caesarean pain score, participants’ satisfaction and maternal side effects within the first 24 hours. The pain control was assessed using visual analogue scale while patients’ satisfaction was assessed with Likert scale. Analysis: Absolute and relative frequencies of categorical variables, mean, range and standard deviation of continuous variables were calculated. Associations between continuous variables were analyzed using students t-test while chi-square (χ2) test (or Fisher’s exact test where applicable) was used for categorical variables. A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The overall pain score was statistically significantly in the diclofenac-tramadol group (P-value <0.001). The Acetaminophen group required more rescue analgesia (63.5% Vs 34.1%) and this was statistically significant (P-value <0.001). The level of association between the types of caesarean section and pain scores both at rest and with movement was statistically significant, with Tramadol group having better pain control. The composite scores in both groups, both at rest, with movement and the types of caesarean section were not statistically significant. On patients satisfaction, 67.1% of the diclofenac-tramadol group was very satisfied as against 30.6% in the diclofenac-acetaminophen group and was statistically significant (P-value = 0.001). The side effect profile was not significant between the two groups. However, the commonest side effects were Dizziness and nausea, which were more in the Tramadol group (10.6% Vs 7.1%). Conclusion: The diclofenac–tramadol combination was more effective in pain control with better patients’ satisfaction and minimal side effects.

Published: February 2024

The development of technology and information has now gone digital with the emergence of the meta-world or metaverse. Libraries as evolving organisms need to adapt to keep up with the times and meet the needs of their patrons. This study aims to determine the extent to which research related to metaverse libraries has been carried out and how libraries can answer the challenges of digital technology developments related to metaverse technology. The method used in this research is a Systematic Literature Review using the Publish or Perish and Vos Viewer applications with the period publication analysis from the years 2014-2023. The results showed that articles related to the metaverse library are still very limited when compared to articles that discuss the metaverse itself. On the other hand, libraries are expected to continue to develop with the concept of Metaverse Library with consideration as a form of innovation to improve immersive learning, accessibility, information preservation, and collaboration globally.

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death. The utility of the risk score in the emergency department is for the initial examination of patients with chest pain suspected of acute coronary syndrome. HEART score was developed in the Netherlands and utilized to stratify chest pain patients and classify the risk of the patients as well as to identify the possibility of Major Adverse Cardiac Event (MACE) occurrences in 6 weeks. This study aimed to compare STEMI and NSTEMI using the modified HEART score in chest pain patients at the Integrated Heart Center (PJT) Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Government Hospital, Makassar. This study used a cross-sectional approach from January 1 to March 31, 2022. The sample was drawn from patients with chest pain clinically diagnosed NSTEMI or STEMI based on the medical records containing the procedure of initial examination and HEART score risk stratification of each patient. The HEART score was found to be statistically significantly higher in STEMI (7.0 and 7.3) than in NSTEMI (6.0 and 5.6) (p<0,001). AUC 0.809 (p<0.001). The cut-off value of the HEART score can be used as a predictor of STEMI/NSTEMI. A cut-off value of 5.5 and 6.5 (alternative) were obtained from the ROC curve and can provide optimal sensitivity and specificity. The higher the score appeared on the HEART score (high risk), the higher the number of STEMI diagnoses compared to NSTEMI diagnoses. This is characterized by a significant increase of Troponin-I. Hence, the HEART score can be used as a scoring measure to predict whether the patient will be diagnosed with NSTEMI or STEMI.

Published: February 2024

Iron deficiency anemia remains a global health problem, which is also a prominent cause of morbidity and mortality of all range of ages. There are three stages of anemia development, and there are some parameters to detect bodily iron status. Transferrin saturation is one of the reliable parameters. Among all hematology parameters, Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) and Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) are two of the most often studied. MCV and RDW are relatively affordable and accessible, most importantly for rural areas with lower socioeconomic status. This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design aimed to determine the correlation between RDW and MCV values with iron deficiency anemia, which was measured by transferrin saturation. A significant correlation was found between RDW, MCV values, and iron deficiency anemia in patients of Mitra Keluarga Cikarang Hospital and Permata Keluarga Hospital, Jakarta with a p-value of <0.05. Sensitivity and specificity for MCV were 75% and 100%, for RDW were 55.45% and 80%, respectively. In conclusion, RDW and MCV parameters can be used as screening instruments for iron deficiency anemia.
Comparative Diagnostic Value of Dengue Infection Using ELFA and Two Commercial Immuno-Chromatography Tests

Published: February 2024

Dengue Virus (DEN-V) can lead to a broad spectrum of clinical presentations, from mild symptoms to mortality. Based on the presence of antibodies, dengue infection is categorized into primary and secondary dengue. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment of DEN-V infection. Non-Structural Antigen 1 (NS1) and dengue antibodies like immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) anti-dengue are standard assays used for dengue diagnosis. Various immunoassay methods, including Enzyme-Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) and Immuno-Chromatographic Tests (ICT), are employed to detect these antigens and antibodies. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic value between ELFA and two commercial ICTs for detecting NS1 antigen, IgM/IgG anti-dengue. Seventy suspected dengue patients with fever lasting two to seven days at Premier Hospital, Surabaya were enrolled in this study. Blood serum samples from the individuals were tested for NS1 antigen and IgM/IgG anti-dengue using VIDAS® and two commercial ICTs (Boson and SD Bioline). The sensitivity of NS1 antigen assays using ELFA and two ICTs was calculated, as well as the agreement rate between ELFA and both ICTs. ELFA demonstrated high sensitivity (77.97%) for NS1 antigen detection in diagnosing dengue infection compared to two ICTs (76.27% and 45.45%). Using an automated system in ELFA can offer more excellent diagnostic value and objective results and determine the cut-off ratio of IgM/IgG antibodies. All of this comes at a cost comparable to ICT.
Association between pancreatitis and chronic kidney disease in cats: a retrospective review of 154 cats presented to a specialty hospital between October 1, 2017, and October 1, 2022
Authors: Dulude Michael D. , Ford Sara L. , Lynch Heather
Published: February 2024

OBJECTIVE

To investigate an association between pancreatitis and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in cats.

ANIMALS

154 client-owned cats: 77 cats with pancreatitis and 77 control cats with no evidence of pancreatitis.

METHODS

Retrospective record review from October 1, 2017, to October 1, 2022, including cats with gastrointestinal clinical signs, pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (PLI) ≥ 8.8 μg/L or PLI 4.5 to 8.7 μg/L with sonographic evidence of pancreatitis. Control cats had a PLI ≤ 4.4 μg/L with no sonographic evidence of pancreatitis.

RESULTS

Cats with pancreatitis had significantly higher International Renal Interest Society CKD stages than controls (P < .001; OR, 13 [95% CI, 6.3 to 31]), and mean creatinine was on average 0.79 mg/dL (95% CI, 0.56 to 1.0) higher than controls (P < .001; age covariate ANCOVA, P = .003). Odds of CKD in cats with pancreatitis compared to controls increased significantly with age (P = .002). Cats aged 10 to < 15 years and 15 to 20 years with pancreatitis had significantly higher prevalence of CKD stage 2 to 4 compared to controls (P < .001; OR, 10.9 [95% CI, 3.4 to 44]; and P = .001; OR, 66 [95% CI, 4.6 to > 1,000], respectively). Cats with pancreatitis had significantly more sonographic renal infarcts (P = .004; OR, 6.9 [95% CI, 1.8 to 46]) and concurrent diabetes mellitus (P = .002; OR, 6 [95% CI, 1.9 to 27]). Cats with pancreatitis were fed more exclusively dry-food diets compared to controls (P = .014).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Pancreatitis is associated with CKD in cats. Investigating and treating these diseases concurrently early in the disease process may reduce morbidity and mortality due to progressive disease and expensive hospitalizations. Renal infarcts may be associated with pancreatitis in cats without overt cardiac disease.
DefenseFea: An Input Transformation Feature Searching Algorithm Based Latent Space for Adversarial Defense

Published: February 2024

Deep neural networks based image classification systems could suffer from adversarial attack algorithms, which generate input examples by adding deliberately crafted yet imperceptible noise to original input images. These crafted examples can fool systems and further threaten their security. In this paper, we propose to use latent space protect image classification. Specifically, we train a feature searching network to make up the difference between adversarial examples and clean examples with label guided loss function. We name it DefenseFea(input transformation based defense with label guided loss function), experimental result shows that DefenseFea can improve the rate of adversarial examples that achieved a success rate of about 99% on a specific set of 5000 images from ILSVRC 2012. This study plays a positive role in the further investigation of the relationship between adversarial examples and clean examples.

Authors: El Mokni Ridha
Published: February 2024

Ten new taxa of gymnosperms are added to the non-indigenous woody flora of Tunisia, after almost two decades of botanical surveys. Four of them (Cryptomeria japonica, Pinus brutia var. pityusa, Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca, Taxodium distichum var. distichum) are also new for the flora of North Africa. Pinus coulteri is here first reported for the Mediterranean Basin. Three genera (Cryptomeria, Pseudotsuga and Taxodium) are firstly recorded for the non-native vascular flora of Africa whereas two genera (Cedrus and Platycladus) are reported for the first time only for the woody flora of Tunisia. Brief descriptions together with filed photographs, global distributions and habitats at national scale are provided. Some taxonomic comments on their distinguishable features as well as updated keys are also presented.
