Published: October 2022

The interdisciplinary field of learning analytics has quickly grown into a global community of researchers, practitioners, and educators. The community has used journals, conferences, workshops, and informal online outlets as venues for knowledge exchange, co-creation, and inspiration. As the field matures, institutions of higher education increasingly offer educational programs train the next generations of leaders in learning analytics research, practice, and policy. These efforts to disseminate the theories, methods, applications, and values of the learning analytics community in formal and informal educational environments are the focus of this chapter. We systematically survey the international landscape of current learning analytics programs (degree programs, certificates, courses, workshops, and online resources) to identify the scope and characteristics of available programs. We then present an in-depth case study of a learning analytics course offered to undergraduate and graduate students at Cornell University. The case study demonstrates a pedagogical approach to learning analytics education for students with a more technical emphasis. Finally, we discuss the current state of learning analytics education and identify challenges and opportunities for learning analytics education going forward.
Fluconazole Effectiveness in Preventing Invasive Fungal Infection in Very Low Birth Weight Infants: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Cokro Fonny , Yolanda Lorensia , Caroline Shelly
Published: October 2022

Fungal infections in neonates, especially in Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) infants, are mostly caused by Candida species and may lead to morbidity and mortality. A systematic review and a meta-analysis were conducted to determine the extent to which fluconazole, an antifungal prophylactic, was effective and safe to use in VLBW or premature infants in preventing Invasive Fungal Infection (IFI), by including Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) carried out worldwide. The investigation started with searching process through publication databases: MEDLINE, Cochrane, ScienceDirect, and Garuda, for Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) that compared the prophylactic effects of fluconazole and placebo on IFI in VLBW infants. The selected eight RCT studies indicated that, compared to placebo, fluconazole accounted for 68% risk reduction of overall fungal colonization (RR=0.32; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.24-0.42, p=0.00001, I-square=0%) and 60% risk reduction of IFI (RR=0.40; 95%[CI]=0.22-0.72, I-square=56%, p=0.002). However, fluconazole did not significantly reduce mortality in VLBW infants (RR=0.79; 95%[CI]=0.60-1.03; p=0.08, I-square=0%). Also, regarding its safety, fluconazole prophylaxis did not result in significant elevations of SGOT/SGPT levels (RR=1.22; 95%[CI]=0.50-3.00, p=0.66, I-square=0%) nor cause intestinal perforation (RR=0.96; 95%[CI]=0.25-3.68, p=0.96, I-square=59%). Fluconazole is an effective prophylaxis agent against invasive fungal infection when given to preterm infants with birth weight <1500, but not proven in reducing the mortality incidence in VLBW infants.

Authors: Rustiani Erni , Najwa Nisa , Nurzillah Lulu
Published: October 2022

Tangkai tanaman talas (Colocasia esculenta L.) memiliki kandungan flavonoid dan saponin.  Flavonoid memberikan efek yang berhubungan dengan proses inflamasi, re-epitelisasi dan stress oksidatif. Saponin mampu meningkatkan re-epitelisasi luka,  menghambat reaksi inflamasi selama fase awal, dan meningkatkan sintesis matriks selama proses penyembuhan luka. Sehingga kandungan metabolit dalam tangkai talas diduga mampu berperan dalam proses penyembuhan luka bakar terutama luka yang mengalami komplikasi seperti infeksi. Salah satu bentuk sediaan topikal untuk mengobati luka bakar adalah bentuk sediaan gel. Penelitian ini bertujuan membuat dan menentukan efektifitas gel ekstrak kering tangkai talas dalam penyembuhan luka bakar terinfeksi pada tikus putih jantan. Hewan uji dibagi menjadi 5 kelompok, masing-masing terdiri dari 5 ekor tikus. Kelompok yang diberikan gel ekstrak kering tangkai talas yaitu F1 (1% b/b), F2 (3% b/b), F3 (5% b/b). Sedangkan kelompok kontrol positif  diberikan (Bioplacenton®) dan kontrol negatif (F0 basis gel). Pemberian gel satu kali sehari dan metode yang digunakan adalah metode Morton. Pengamatan meliputi evaluasi mutu gel, penurunan diameter luka dan waktu epitelisasi.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa gel ekstrak kering tangkai talas (1%, 3% dan 5% b/b) memiliki mutu yang baik dan memberikan hasil yang signifikan (p<0,05) dalam penyembuhan luka bakar terinfeksi. Penurunan diameter luka dan waktu epitelisasi memiliki nilai (p<0,05) dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol negatif. Efek penyembuhan luka bakar tergantung konsentrasi ekstrak kering tangkai talas dalam sediaan gel. Konsentrasi ekstrak 5% b/b (F3) mempunyai persentase penyembuhan luka bakar yang paling efektif selama 13 hari.

Published: October 2022

The concentration of bangle (Zingiber cassumunar) ethyl acetate fraction added in the formulation of the temugiring (Curcuma heyneana) extract cream formulation must be determined precisely since it may affect the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) value. This research aims to determine the effect of concentration variations of bangle ethyl acetate fraction on the SPF value of the temugiring extract cream. In this research, temugiring extract and bangle extract were obtained by remaceration employing ethanol, while the bangle ethyl acetate fraction was obtained by fractionation using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and water. The bangle ethyl acetate fraction obtained was formulated in cream formulations of temugiring extract formulas 1, 2, and 3 with variations in the concentration of bangle ethyl acetate fraction 2%; 3%; and 4%. Furthermore, the SPF value was conducted using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method. The results show that bangle ethyl acetate fraction concentration variations produced different SPF values for each cream formula. The SPF value for formulas 1, 2, and 3 was 11.466; 12.122; and 17.266. One Way ANOVA test produced a p-value of 0.037. Thus, it can be concluded that the concentration of the bangle ethyl acetate fraction would affect the SPF value in the cream temugiring extract.

Arithmetic of binary equivalents of decimal numbers
Authors: Spiridonov Iouri
Published: October 2022

Within the framework of the concept of decimal calculations proposed in the article using binary arithmetic, a theory of binary equivalents of decimal floating-point numbers has been developed. According to this theory, basic decimal arithmetic operations on finite decimal numbers are performed with decimal precision by a binary processor according to the rules of binary arithmetic on the binary equivalents of decimal numbers. These calculation results are entirely consistent with the classical decimal finite number arithmetic and do not require the use of test programs. The identity of calculation results in decimal and binary equivalent arithmetics guarantees the repeatability of results on any platform. The article shows that implementing binary equivalents arithmetic with an acceptable decimal calculation error requires significantly fewer bits of binary processor registers than in modern computers. Because of the uniqueness of binary decimal equivalents, the difference between equal, properly rounded binary decimal equivalents is strictly zero. The presence of an explicit zero in the arithmetic of binary equivalents of decimal numbers makes it possible to implement a bitwise comparison of such numbers and introduce the concept of an infinitesimal number when the significand of a floating-point number is equal to zero.

Published: October 2022

As a complex illegal phenomenon, "raiding" is associated with a number of real threats to economic security, including the growth of corruption and unemployment, monopolization of certain market segments, loss of competitiveness, reduced production, discredit of state and local authorities, law enforcement agencies and courts. , deterioration of the investment climate, reduction of the level of tax revenues, deformation of the legal ideology of society, etc. The processes of mergers, acquisitions, and other changes in the legal status of economic entities are traditionally regulated by the norms of civil and commercial legislation of Ukraine. In a civilized market economy, the periodic change of owners of commercial organizations is normal,a common mechanism for regulating relations between market participants. At the same time, in the economic realities of modern Ukraine, the line between, on the one hand, the improper implementation of its rights and obligations by the business entity, and, on the other hand, the commission of criminally punishable acts is blurred. After all, these are mostly not primitive ways of obtaining someone else's property (such as the physical removal of the head of the enterprise) - they have been replaced mainly by nonviolent illegal actions related to artificial bankruptcy of legal entities, seizure of their property through forgery, fictitious notarial services. and illegal registration actions, court decisions, etc. The outlined negative processes have led to the emergence in scientific and business circulation, in particular, such concepts as "raiding", "seizure of enterprises", "corporate blackmail", "corporate war", the normative definition of which is missing. According to its legal content and inherent features of this phenomenon, illegal seizure of business entities means socially dangerous behavior, which consists in carefully prepared, organized and externally properly executed seizure of the business entity. There is an obvious need to move from fragmentary research to a comprehensive scientific understanding of the problematic issues of criminal liability for criminal acts, which are manifestations of this phenomenon and the public danger of which is mostly determined by encroachment not on property but on the established procedure. Еconomic activity by its separate subjects. In addition, in-depth research is needed on the special "anti-raider" criminal law prohibitions introduced in recent years, the wording of which is cumbersome, overloaded with blanket features and lacks the certainty required in terms of ensuring the unity of law enforcement.
EVOLUTION OF VESTIMENTARY LEGISLATION IN EUROPE
Authors:   Volodymyr Vynnychenko Central Ukrainian State Pedagogical University, Poliarush S.
Published: October 2022

The article characterizes the changes in the field of state regulation of the costume in different epochs of European history, including the history of Ukraine. The concept of "vestment legislation", which regulates the issue of wearing a suit, is revealed. Some fragments of normative acts are cited, which confirm the fact of wide use of vestment legislation in the early epochs of the state history of European civilization. It is emphasized that the vestment legislation in the Greek and Roman periods played the role of sumptuous legislation, ie legislation against luxury, against demonstrative consumption. The dominant functions of vestment legislation in the feudal period and in the period of transition to bourgeois relations are highlighted. The author joins the opinion of a number of scholars who emphasize the caste nature of the legislation on costume in the era of feudalism. With the transition to bourgeois relations, this legislation plays the role of economic lever in stimulating the development of its own production of fabrics and clothing and the domestic market. It is emphasized that in the first half of the XVIII century Vestment legislation acquires more features of court etiquette, and from the second half of the XVIII century and to this day it minimizes its impact on civil society. Civil society is already creating fashion trends. This feature is preserved to this day. Attention is paid to some features of vestment legislation in the XX-XXI centuries. It is noted that during this period it could become discriminatory. Today, the vestment legislation reflects the concerns of European countries about certain terrorist acts and the introduction of quarantine restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hormones perform a crucial role in women's health. Variations in hormone levels (estrogen and progesterone) can negatively affect women's mood, sexual desire, ovulation process, and fertility. A balanced and healthy diet has a major influence on various hormonal processes and facets of our wellbeing. There are multiple factors related to diets, such as food sensitivity leading to allergic reactions, obesity, inflammation from inadequate diet and sedentary lifestyles, sleep habits, digestion, and others. All these factors contribute to hormonal imbalances and associated complications. Diet-derived circulating constituents can perform immediate and indirect actions for receptor activation, signalling, and supplying micronutrients.
Evaluation of the Scope of Adopting Agricultural Biotechnology in Developing Countries : A brief Review
Authors: Pasupuleti Bhargavi
Published: October 2022

Agricultural biotechnology plays an important role in enhancing the productivity of crops and to improving the quality of crops in developing countries. Farmers across many countries such as India, China and other Asian countries South and Central America, and Africa have already started adapting agricultural biotechnology and are getting several benefits from this. The timescale of improvement of the crop quality can be enhanced by Molecular breeding and furthermore has the ability to enable productive use of diversity of gene sources. The adoption of biotechnology has made little impact on the growth of crops as there exist multiple challenges that need to be addressed and resolved accordingly. Application of technology based solutions to decrease the yield gaps are required to be resolved. The findings of the research shows that through private-public partnerships new opportunities can be developed to generate new methods and procedures to adopt agricultural biotechnology in an effective way. In addition, the researcher has utilized a secondary qualitative data collection method for gathering data from prior articles and journals regarding the subject of this research study. However, the result of this study indicated that through the inclusion of financial support an agriculture field can easily improve their production rate through the usage of biotechnology. Nevertheless, knowledge regarding usage of biotechnology can aid the agricultural field to improve the production rate of the foods while maintaining the biomass of the foods.

The objective of the study was to examine knowledge, attitude and practices of the community regarding the dangers of consuming farm products infested by aflatoxin. The study setting was in two rural counties in the eastern ecologic zone of Kenya. Methods employed the use of a semi-structured questionnaire which was presented face to face to respondents at household level. Data were collected and entered via kobo tool kit into smartphones, identifying the geo-position of each household. A total of 718 households respondents provided information on the education level of heads of households, income, knowledge on aflatoxin, practices on handling farm harvested produce, and their attitude towards management of any spoilt produce. Results showed that only 37% of respondents knew what aflatoxin is. Only 26% of the respondents could identify aflatoxin-contaminated grain by colour. In practice, 56% reported that they fed the spoilt or rotting grain to their domestic animals and birds. The study conclusion was that the rural small-scale farmers in the study zones were not well informed that aflatoxin-contaminated grain consumed directly from spoilt grain or indirectly via animal products could gravely cause illness, poisoning or death.

Authors: Vardhini Dr. S. Mathura , Nagaraj Dr. P.
Published: October 2022

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) is an entity of rarity. It usually has an acute onset presenting to the emergency department with profound neurological deficits.From the term we infer that the blood accumulating in the spinal column is not due to any traumatic cause.During the episode of spontaneous bleeding, there is a positive correlation with increase in the pressures of the epidural space. Replacing myelography and CT scan, MRI has earned the name for being the gold standard for the diagnosis of SSEH. In case of an individual without any classical explanation for developing sudden neurological deficits with excruciating painful symptoms, SSEH should be kept in mind as a potential differential diagnosis. If SSEH is suspected, MRI should be done which is the diagnostic modality of choice.Surgical evacuation of the hematoma and decompression with laminectomy are considered to be the ideal procedures to be performed following the diagnosis.Since SSEH is a dreaded problem causing rapid deterioration it is highly advised to take up the patient for a detailed diagnosis and timely interventional procedures even though the clinical symptomatology remains to be highly unique in different individuals. In this article, we discuss from the literature, the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment protocols and prognostic factors regarding SSEH, a disease of low incidence yet a high mortality, demanding a detailed discussion and awareness among the medical professionals.

Recommendations about the need to use alcohol before injection of the vaccine are contradictory and based on proof at low rates. Alcohol is used to disinfect the skin prior to injections in order to prevent infections caused by bacteria on the skin being injected within tissue. Alcohol has been shown to be good disinfectant, reducing the number of bacteria on skin by 47-91%. The preparation of skin of the patient before injection is generally done by washing the skin that is visibly soiled or dirty. Swabbing of the clean skin before giving an injection is unnecessary. If swabbing with an antiseptic is selected for use, use a clean, single-use swab and maintain product-specific recommended contact time.Therefore the idea of preparation for the injection site came into effect, but there are different recommendations for preparation of the skin before injection leaving nurses in confusion, and they took up the present analysis.
