Identifying Architectural Affiliation Forms of the Campus University of Blida 1,"Saâd Dahleb", (Arch. Walter Netsch; 1981–1989)
Authors: Chennaoui Youcef , AKEBLERSANE Imen
Published: December 2024

During the mid-20th century, Walter Andrew Netsch, an American architect, introduced a groundbreaking conceptual method called the Theory of Fields. This approach focused on networks and the manipulation of geometric frames. One of his several undertakings included the construction of the University of Blida in Algeria during the early 1980s.
This article is focused mainly on a geometric analysis of the main sections of the building's structure. Its objective is to identify the numerous mathematical relationships, geometric transformations, and other components that regulate the project in its entirety. Therefore, it appears that the University of Blida includes several concepts outlined in the architect's innovative approach to architectural composition, which incorporates components of traditional architecture.
Advanced geometric practice has shaped a mathematical structure that serves as the university's compass. The latter is derived from a scholarly collection of square combinations that use ratios of 1/2 and 1/5 and a geometrical framework based on the series of Fibonacci numbers
A NEW FEATHER MITE GENUS OF THE FAMILY PTEROLICHIDAE (ACARIFORMES) FROM THE COMMON PHEASANT, PHASIANUS COLCHICUS, WITH A CHECKLIST OF PTEROLICHINES ASSOCIATED WITH GALLIFORM BIRDS (AVES: GALLIFORMES)
Authors: Mironov Sergey V.
Published: December 2024

A new monobasic feather mite genus Phasianolichus gen. n. (Pterolichinae) is established, and its type species, Phasianolichus phasiani (Mironov, 1997) comb. n., is redescribed. The type species of this genus was originally described in the content of the genus Pseudolichus Atyeo and Gaud, 1992 from the common pheasant, Phasianus colchicus (Galliformes: Phasianidae). The genus Phasianolichus belongs to the grouping of pterolichine genera—Contolichus, Pterolichus, Pseudolichus and Tetraolichus—characterized by the short and rounded opisthosomal lobes in males and generally setiform idiosomal setae in both sexes. Phasianolichus is distinguished from these genera in the following combination of characters: in both sexes, setae h1 are absent; in males, coxal setae 4b are situated posterior to setae 3a, and the adanal apodemes are absent; in females, the hysteronotal shield is complete, roughly rectangular and extends to the posterior end of opisthosoma, idiosomal setae d2 and e1 are situated on the hysteronotal shield, and the bases of setae e1 and e2 are arranged in a tall trapezoid. Additionally, a world checklist of pterolichine feather mites, associated with galliform birds, is provided and briefly commented on.
REVIEW OF THE SPIDER MITE FAUNA OF UZBEKISTAN, WITH NEW RECORDS (PROSTIGMATA: TETRANYCHIDAE)
Authors: Kamayev Ilya O. , Anorbayev Azimjon R. , Obidjanov Dilshod A.
Published: December 2024

This study lists 23 species belonging to 14 genera of Tetranychidae from Uzbekistan (Central Asia). In addition, we provide the analysis of key sources published in 1910s–1980s on the identification of the spider mite Tetranychus turkestani (Ugarov and Nikolskii, 1937), inhabiting cotton plants in Central Asia. This species is the main pest on cotton, fruit, as well as vegetable and melon crops of Uzbekistan, which is confirmed by our data. Bryobia praetiosa Koch, 1836, Eurytetranychus buxi (Garman, 1935), Eotetranychus libocedri (McGregor, 1936), Oligonychus brevipilosus (Zacher, 1932), O. longiclavatus (Reck, 1953) and O. ununguis (Jacobi, 1905) are new species for the fauna of this region. It is believed that Peritetranychus tuberculatus Ugarov and Nikolskii, 1937 and Peritetranychus glabrisetus Ugarov and Nikolskii, 1937 are synonyms of Panonychus ulmi (Koch, 1836).
Frequency as a descriptive instrument for the functional-grammatical field of the preposition
Authors: Vinogradova Ekaterina N.
Published: December 2024

In this article, the authors perform inventory, ranging, and forecasting of complex prepositional units including the Russian preposition na (on). On the first stage, a catalog of prepositional units of the model was revealed based on specialized manuscripts. Then, the frequency of every cataloged unit was ranked according to the Russian National Corpus. The hypothesis was that the more frequent prepositions are closer to the nucleus of the prepositional field, and they are more “grammaticalized” than the less frequent ones. Following the hypothesis, on the second stage, the frequent collocations of the model na (on) + Noun were analyzed, potential prepositional units were selected and verified using the corpora data, then, they were ranged by frequency decrease. The frequency detection method can be regarded as an effective instrument for description of functional-grammatical field of preposition. Using the one-model-prepositional units, the connection between the construction frequency and its proximity to the nucleus of the prepositional field is shown.
Circumstances and conditions affecting the government forms
Authors: Avdeev Dmitry A.
Published: December 2024

The diversity of government forms is determined by various circumstances and factors that influence the national system of public authority organization, especially the functioning of the highest bodies of state power and administration. Research into the essence of government forms is impossible without accounting for the circumstances and conditions that predetermine its national model of public administration. The circumstances and conditions of establishing these government forms can be classified according to various grounds and criteria. Generally, all such factors can be grouped into objective (external) and subjective (internal). This article analyzes the role of such circumstances and their significance in the formation of the national model of public administration. Additionally, the paper identifies the factors which have a significant impact on the Russian form of government. Thus, the following factors significantly affect the national model of public administration: the territorial dimensions; historical and political conditions for the development of the Russian statehood: the features of the multinational composition of the people: the level of its legal consciousness. All that predetermines Russian specificity and characteristic features, expressed in the centralization of public administration. The results show that accounting both objective (external) and subjective (internal) factors will lead to consistent legal reforms aimed at optimizing the process of public administration and improving the quality of life of the Russian citizens.
Restrictions on filling state and municipal posts and posts of state and municipal service in the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics
Authors: Kanakova Anna E. , Anichkin Evgeny S.
Published: December 2024

This article deals with the restrictions of filling state and municipal posts and posts of state and municipal service in the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR), established for the transitional period. Until January 1, 2026, on these territories, there will be established special rules regarding the criteria preventing appointments to a state and municipal position or the corresponding service, which to date have not been the subject of comprehensive research, including in the framework of the right to participate in the management of the affairs of the state. Thus, this article aims to fill in this lacuna and to identify positive and negative consequences of the modified list of restrictions. The results show that these restrictions, which are in force during the transition period, represent a significantly reduced list of provisions compared to the provisions currently in force on the territory of other Russian subjects and in relation to specific types of services. Despite their seemingly repetitive legal construction, these restrictions are stated in the Presidential Decree and filled with different meaning from the traditional approach due to the need to preserve and maintain the existing human resources potential for the local authorities. Yet, even with their logical purpose, these contain a number of prerequisites for current and subsequent problems, aggravated by the absence in this act of some existing restrictions in the Russian legislation.
Depreciation policy: its role in the reproduction process and provision of technological safety
Authors: Zotikov Nikolai Z. , Yakovleva Avgustina S.
Published: December 2024

The production and technological safety of an enterprise presupposes the presence of high-quality production potential and technologies that can ensure the enterprise can diversify, develop, and produce profitable competitive products. To ensure technological safety and effective implementation of innovative industrial policy, technical re-equipment of production is necessary. Depreciation is one of the main sources of simple reproduction. Unlike other elements of economic security, providing its technical and technological support requires significant investments. This explains the relevance of the research topic, intensifying within the current conditions of the Western technological sanctions against Russia. Using the official data from Rosstat and the Russian Federal Tax Service, this study aims to establish the impact of depreciation policy in the regions on reproduction processes and provision of technological safety. This study has established that the existing depreciation policy in Russia contains a threat to its technological safety. Enterprises do not adequately use their right to establish an effective depreciation policy, granted by the Russian Tax Code since January 1, 2002, with the introduction of Chapter 25. The applied depreciation policy does not stimulate investment activity and does not allow the creation of a source necessary for the reproduction of fixed assets, which is important in the conditions of high-level depreciation of fixed assets and a low level of their renewal. The authors consider depreciation policy as an effective method for optimizing tax payments, thus, allowing enterprises to increase the size of their own financial resources and increase investment activity. The study’s results may be used when developing depreciation policy.
The concept of sovereign Russian statehood in the annual messages of the head of state (1994–2024)
Authors: Leonenko Nataliya T.
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the annual messages of the head of state to the Russian Federal Assembly on the situation in the country, on the main directions of domestic and foreign policy of the state through contextual consideration of their value concepts about the meanings of Russian historical existence, purpose, and civilizational essence. The author identifies the main provisions that make up the concept of sovereign Russian statehood and isolates its essential elements, although without an exhaustive theoretical construction. The chronological framework covers the 1994–2024 period. The results highlight the relevance of the state sovereignty idea; explain how the country’s top officials understand this idea as an unconditional benefit for Russia; show the inextricable link between Russia’s survival and preservation with the consolidation of society around traditional values and moral guidelines developed by the state-forming people in their historical development; describe the emerging trend of rethinking liberal democracy and a new paradigm of the Russian model of the constitutional system, synthesizing elements of various state-legal regimes, which may indicate a transition to a national conservative approach closer to the “state-civilization” theory.
Development of regional exports in the new economic conditions (the case of the Tyumen Region)
Authors: Rakitina Natalia V. , Simonova Lyudmila M.
Published: December 2024

The increasing role of the Russian regions in the development of international cooperation and economic activity highlights the country’s course for foreign economic development, as the regions aid in fulfilling the international–Russian treaties and accelerate the country’s economic integration into the world economy. The following indicators of foreign economic activity development asses the regions’ performance: growth of non-resource non-energy exports and an increase in the number of export-oriented enterprises. However, the achievement of normative indicators is now facing an extremely unfavorable foreign policy context, “renaissance of non-cooperativeness” and sanctions restrictions, changes in market conditions and exchange rates; as well as other factors requiring fundamental rethinking and reformatting of both external contours and internal mechanisms for the regions’ effective international cooperation and foreign economic activity. This article aims to analyze these factors using the Tyumen Region as the object of study. One of Russia’s leading regions, the Tyumen Region regularly ranks high in the National Investment Climate Rating. The positive indicators in the industrial and investment spheres of the region confirm the potential for the development of regional exports. Using the methods of comparative analysis and processing of statistical reporting data and analytical reviews, the authors identify new foreign policy guidelines course and propose business support measures for effective development of international cooperation and foreign economic activity of the region. These measures can contribute to an increase in the number of export enterprises, in export volume, in foreign investment inflow into the region, and in investment attractiveness.
Legal theory of ethnicity as a foundation for modernizing the legislation of indigenous peoples
Authors: Gladun Elena F.
Published: December 2024

Rapidly developing in various directions, the discipline of constitutional law remains a gap in the sphere of ethnic relations which change and adapt to modern conditions. Such a challenge encourages legal scholars to strengthen the legal potential of Russian society, in particular through new theoretical research and updating legislation in the field of indigenous peoples. In this article, the author formulates a new theory for constitutional law, which is based on several scientific concepts existing in the social and humanitarian sciences. This theory is designed to clearly define the legal place of indigenous peoples in modern society and develop more effective approaches to establishing their constitutional and legal status, tools for its implementation and dimensionsof further constitutional and legal development. The strong point of the theory is that it relies not only on legal academic knowledge, but also on the implications of other disciplines which study indigenous communities: ethnography, anthropology, philosophy, and sociology. The author believes that in-depth studies of ethnic factors can and should influence legal relations, construct them and become a justification for making certain government decisions. Based on the legal theory of ethnicity, some measures are proposed to help overcome the shortcomings of modern Russian legislation on indigenous peoples and expand the opportunities for their development in the legal system.

Authors: Filippov Aleksandr I. , Davletbaev Alfred Ya. , Gareev Rafael R.
Published: December 2024

The results of the development of micro- and macromodels of the process of convective-diffusion evolution of the tracer mark in natural reservoirs are presented and the relationship between them is described. Equations for the concentration (density) of a tracer during solution movement in a hydraulic fracture and the surrounding porous medium are constructed taking into account local chemical equilibrium. Solutions have been found to problems on the tracer concentration field with and without taking into account the contribution of diffusion processes. The results of computational experiments on modeling the velocity fields of the mark and the concentration of the tracer substance during flow of the carrier fluid in a hydraulic fracture are discussed.
Numerical study of natural convection stability
Authors: Tomchik Pavel I. , Kislitsin Anatoliy A.
Published: December 2024

The analytical theory of natural convection stability, founded in the middle of the 20th c., is practically applicable only to the analysis of simple model objects: liquid between solid planes, in cavities of spherical and cubic shape, in channels of round, rectangular and annular sections, among others. The analysis of modern technical systems requires the use of numerical methods, which are currently the most powerful methods of mathematical analysis. Yet, analytical methods are necessary for testing calculation codes and verifying the results obtained using numerical methods. This article presents a series of numerical experiments aimed at investigating the stability of stationary one- and two-vortex convection regimes, establishing bifurcation regions in which transitions between these regimes occur, and the relationship of these transitions with changes in the energy parameters of convective flows. Numerical simulation was performed in square cells on a 21 × 21 grid using the control volume method and the SIMPLER algorithm. In place of a liquid, water was taken in the temperature range of 20–50 °C, and Grashof numbers from 100 to 22,400. The dependence of the Prandtl number on temperature was considered in the simulation. The results have established 4 bifurcation regions in which the established type of convective flows loses stability and changes to another form: 313.6 < Gr < 396.8; 3135.8 < Gr < 3527.3; 10913.3 < Gr < 13307.2; Gr > 22406.0. Four critical Rayleigh numbers corresponding to these regions have been found, which, considering the dependence of the number Pr of the temperature is equal to: Racr1 = 1,790.7; Racr2 = 14,738.3; Racr3 = 45,835.9; Racr4 = 79,317.2. All these bifurcation regions are associated with transitions of the potential energy of the liquid into kinetic energy and vice versa. The limit of the Boussinesq approximation applicability corresponds to the values Gr ≈ 13,307.2, or Ra ≈ 55,890.2. The comparison of the values of the critical Rayleigh numbers obtained in numerical experiments with the numbers of the analytical theory shows a very good coincidence of the first two critical numbers Racr1 and Racr2. The Racr3 values coincide in order of magnitude, and Racr4 differ almost twofold, which is explained by the Racr4 value going beyond the scope of the Boussinesq approximation, and, strictly speaking, has no physical meaning.
Установки и практики активного долголетия среди лиц с инвалидностью и без неё
Authors: Нацун Лейла Натиговна
Published: December 2024

Появление термина «активное долголетие» стало результатом переосмысления вклада старшего поколения в функционирование и развитие общества. На фоне широкого разнообразия исследований, посвящённых данной проблематике, встречаются лишь единичные работы, затрагивающие инвалидность, и практически отсутствуют попытки оценить установки, мотивы и практики активного долголетия среди лиц с инвалидностью. Цель настоящего исследования — определить, существуют ли значимые отличия в установках, мотивах, практиках активного долголетия у лиц с инвалидностью и без неё. На основании данных репрезентативного социологического исследования установлено, что в целом среди инвалидов ниже субъективная оценка желаемой продолжительности жизни, а среди барьеров её достижения на первый план выходит неудовлетворительное состояние здоровья. В то же время, наличие инвалидности не влияет на оценку семейных отношений как основного источника мотивов долголетия. Показано, что более выраженная удовлетворённость семейными отношениями сопутствует более высоким установкам на продолжительность жизни. Однако на практике инвалиды в среднем реже общаются со своими родными, чем респонденты без инвалидности, что формирует риск одиночества и сопутствующего снижения установок на долголетие. Подтверждено, что инвалидность сопряжена с менее выраженными практиками заботы о здоровье, более низкой социальной активностью. Показано, что в отдельных аспектах слабая вовлечённость инвалидов в практики активного долголетия может быть обусловлена отсутствием или недостаточной представленностью доступной среды. В заключительной части работы перечислены общие рекомендации, касающиеся повышения возможностей достижения активного долголетия людьми с инвалидностью.

Published: December 2024

In an environmental degradation era, improving microbial activity in
sustainable mining and pollutant removal has become necessary for the green
economy's future. Bioleaching (microbial leaching) is being studied intensively for
metal extraction since it is a cost-effective and environmentally benign technique.
Bioleaching with acidophiles involves the production of ferric (Fe III) and sulfuric
acid. Cyanogenic microorganisms, in particular, can extract metal(s) by creating
hydrogen cyanide. Furthermore, environmental degradation and its rehabilitation are
serious issues worldwide. Hydrocarbons, pesticides, heavy metals, dyes, and other
contaminants are the principal factors significantly degrading the environment.
Residual pollutants might also be challenging to remove. Bioremediation is one of the
most effective approaches for reducing environmental contaminants since it restores
the damaged site to its original state. So yet, only a tiny number of microorganisms
(culturable bacteria) have been used, leaving a vast amount of microbial diversity
undiscovered. Various bioremediation approaches, such as chemotaxis,
bioaugmentation, biostimulation, genetically engineered microbes, biofilm formation,
and advanced omics, have been widely used to improve the microbe’s metabolic
activity, degradation potential of persistent pollutants and restoration of polluted
habitats. Microorganisms contribute to the rehabilitation of polluted ecosystems by
cleaning up trash in an ecologically friendly way and producing harmless products.
This chapter addresses the critical processes in improving bioremediation and current
breakthroughs in bioremediation, including bacteria and plants.
Role of Microbes and Microbiomes in Microbial Fuel Cells: A Novel Tool for a Clean and Green Environment
Authors: Sajish Sagia , Ponnusamy Karthika , Brunda B. N.
Published: December 2024

Over the recent decades, there has been a tremendous need to develop
alternative, sustainable, clean, and renewable energy resources. This demand is
attributed to the exhaustion of fossil fuel reserves and the associated economic risks,
the impact of fossil fuel use on the environment, and the associated global warming.
Bioelectrochemical systems (BES), which use biological entities to generate electricity,
are promising alternative clean renewable energy. Microbial fuel cell (MFC), a type of
BES, exploits the potential of electro-active microorganisms for extracellular electron
transfer to generate electricity. In an MFC, microbes oxidize the organic substrates fed
into the anode chamber into electrons, protons, and CO2
. The electrons flow through
the connected external load/circuit towards the cathode, creating the potential
difference across the electrode and subsequent current output. A terminal electron
acceptor at the cathode accepts the electrons and protons. In addition to electricity
generation, MFC has extended applications in wastewater treatment, heavy metal
remediation, bioremediation of environmental pollutants, biosensors for monitoring the
environment, etc. This chapter will help understand the basic principle of an MFC and
the role of microbes in a microbial fuel cell, genetic engineering, biofilm engineering
approaches, and electrode engineering approaches for increasing the overall efficiency
of an MFC for its practical implementation.

Published: December 2024

Fraud is one of the criminal acts that often occurs in Indonesia. The individuals involved must lose their freedom. Then they will receive guidance from the Correctional Center (Bapas) to return to society. This research aims to determine the dynamics of the self-forgiveness process in adult clients with fraud cases at the Class I Malang Correctional Center (Bapas). This research method is qualitative phenomenology. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, unstructured observation and documentation studies. The data will then be verified by source triangulation. The collected data was analyzed using Miles & Huberman analysis. The research results show that the self-forgiveness process experienced by each person is different. There were feelings of guilt in both informants, which was a factor in repeating the stages of self-forgiveness. As a result, the two informants had different movements in the self-forgiveness process. Bapas can provide support in the form of training and education regarding self-forgiveness to adult clients so that self-forgiveness can be implemented and can help adult clients live their lives again.

Diskursus Elite Politik di Media Alternatif
Authors: Wahid Abdul
Published: December 2024

A reliance on official sources and a tendency to reinforce established narratives characterize mainstream media representations of political elites. This study seeks to analyze how Sediksi, as an alternative media, interprets political elites. Through critical discourse analysis, it examines how hegemony and inequality are reproduced through language, especially from the perspective of marginalized groups. This study shows that alternative media provides a critical lens that challenges dominant elite representations. By using satirical language, alternative media interpret elites as dwarfed by various associations with incompetence, ignorance, corruption, deceit, and marginalized communities. Alternative media not only provides space for criticism of political elites, but also empowers the public to challenge the narratives imposed by dominant forces. By amplifying marginalized voices, alternative media encourages collective resistance and builds public awareness by presenting issues that people often face in their daily lives. This study argues that alternative media is capable of creating more inclusive interpretations and siding with marginalized perspectives.

Published: December 2024

Global warming is characterized by increasing temperatures of the earth's atmosphere, ocean and land, resulting in extreme climate change. The effects of climate change will affect animal health through increased ambient temperature (heat stress). This study using Zebrafish as animal model like our previuous study because Zebrafish, have 70% identical genetic similarity to humans. In addition, Zebrafish have specific approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for new drug discovery research. Heat stress negatively affects animal health through an increase in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), especially in the reproductive system because it causes a decrease in reproductive efficiency, such as follicular development, oocyte quality, and oocyte maturation. Antioxidant supplementation, namely green tea extract, is needed to reduce the negative effects of heat stress. The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference of 4 µl dose of green tea extract (Camellia sinensis) on the diameter, viability, and Germinal Vesicle Breakdown (GVBD) rate of Zebrafish oocytes at normal temperature (28℃) and with exposure to heat stress (32℃; 34℃). Zebrafish oocytes were collected and grouped into 2 (two) treatment groups including, non-heat stress group (28℃) and heat stress group (32℃; 34℃) with 6 repetitions. Quantitative data were processed using SPSS software with Two Way ANOVA analysis. The results of Two Way ANOVA showed that green tea extract supplementation had a positive effect on the diameter, viability, and GVBD of Zebrafish oocytes. This is indicated by the significance of the percentage of diameter (P=0.002), viability (P=0.003), and GVBD rate (P=0.000).

Published: December 2024

In 1990, a mural entitled "My God, Help me to Survive This Deadly Love" was painted on the East Berlin Wall. The work depicts the controversial kiss between Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker. Roland Barthes has a structured system of semiotic analysis, one of which is the code. In analyzing this mural, the author refers to the 5 codes of Barthes' theory. Barthes' 5-code theory is considered the most appropriate theory because it is able to present a textual analysis structure in understanding all aspects of text and meaning, and there is a framework of thought that is formed so that the author is able to analyze a visual object with the context of culture, history, and ideology in a deep and efficient way. Through this analysis, the author can understand the role of visual culture contextually in the mural.

The Role of Clinician-Developed Applications in Promoting Adherence to Evidence-Based Guidelines: Pilot Study
Authors: Prakash Madhu Prita , Thiagalingam Aravinda
Published: December 2024

Background

Computerized clinical decision support systems (CDSS) are increasingly being used in clinical practice to improve health care delivery. Mobile apps are a type of CDSS that are currently being increasingly used, particularly in lifestyle interventions and disease prevention. However, the use of such apps in acute patient care, diagnosis, and management has not been studied to a great extent. The Pathway for Acute Coronary Syndrome Assessment (PACSA) is a set of guidelines developed to standardize the management of suspected acute coronary syndrome across emergency departments in New South Wales, Australia. These guidelines, which risk stratify patients and provide an appropriate management plan, are currently available as PDF documents or physical paper-based PACSA documents. The routine use of these documents and their acceptability among clinicians is uncertain. Presenting the PACSA guidelines on a mobile app in a sequential format may be a more acceptable alternative to the current paper-based PACSA documents.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the utility and acceptability of a clinician-developed app modeling the PACSA guidelines as an alternative to the existing paper-based PACSA documents in assessing chest pain presentations to the emergency department.

Methods

An app modeling the PACSA guidelines was created using the Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) platform by a cardiologist, with a total development time of <3 hours. The app utilizes a sequential design, requiring participants to input patient data in a step-wise fashion to reach the final patient risk stratification. Emergency department doctors were asked to use the app and apply it to two hypothetical patient scenarios. Participants then completed a survey to assess if the PACSA app offered any advantages over the current paper-based PACSA documents

Results

Participants (n=31) ranged from junior doctors to senior physicians. Current clinician adherence to the paper-based PACSA documents was low with 55% (N=17) never using it in their daily practice. Totally, 42% of participants found the PACSA app easier to use compared to the paper-based PACSA documents and 58% reported that the PACSA app was also faster to use. The perceived usefulness of the PACSA app was similar to the perceived usefulness of the paper-based PACSA documents.

Conclusions

The PACSA app offers a more efficient and user-friendly alternative to the current paper-based PACSA documents and may promote clinician adherence to evidence-based guidelines. Additional studies with a larger number of participants are required to assess the transferability of the PACSA app to everyday practice. Furthermore, apps are relatively easy to develop using existing online platforms, with the scope for clinicians to develop such apps for other evidence-based guidelines and across different specialties.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Hospitals use triage systems to prioritize the needs of patients within available resources. Misclassification of a patient can lead to either adverse outcomes in a patient who did not receive appropriate care in the case of undertriage or a waste of hospital resources in the case of overtriage. Recent advances in machine learning algorithms allow for the quantification of variables important to under- and overtriage.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to identify clinical features most strongly associated with triage misclassification using a machine learning classification model to capture nonlinear relationships.

METHODS

Multicenter retrospective cohort data from 2 big regional hospitals in Norway were extracted. The South African Triage System is used at Bergen University Hospital, and the Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System is used at Trondheim University Hospital. Variables included triage score, age, sex, arrival time, subject area affiliation, reason for emergency department contact, discharge location, level of care, and time of death were retrieved. Random forest classification models were used to identify features with the strongest association with overtriage and undertriage in clinical practice in Bergen and Trondheim. We reported variable importance as SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations)-values.

RESULTS

We collected data on 205,488 patient records from Bergen University Hospital and 304,997 patient records from Trondheim University Hospital. Overall, overtriage was very uncommon at both hospitals (all <0.1%), with undertriage differing between both locations, with 0.8% at Bergen and 0.2% at Trondheim University Hospital. Demographics were similar for both hospitals. However, the percentage given a high-priority triage score (red or orange) was higher in Bergen (24%) compared with 9% in Trondheim. The clinical referral department was found to be the variable with the strongest association with undertriage (mean SHAP +0.62 and +0.37 for Bergen and Trondheim, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

We identified subgroups of patients consistently undertriaged using 2 common triage systems. While the importance of clinical patient characteristics to triage misclassification varies by triage system and location, we found consistent evidence between the two locations that the clinical referral department is the most important variable associated with triage misclassification. Replication of this approach at other centers could help to further improve triage scoring systems and improve patient care worldwide.

Genealogi Temuan Naskah-Naskah Kuno Keislaman di Gunung Kawi Malang
Authors: Awalin Fatkur Rohman Nur
Published: December 2024

Mount Kawi in Malang continues to be recognized as a site imbued with an enduring sense of enchantment. Interestingly, ancient manuscripts linked to Islamic teachings have also been discovered in this region, particularly as part of the private collection of Mr. Anut Ekowiyono. These manuscripts, predominantly inscribed in Pegon Arabic script, serve as a focal point for this study, which investigates their genealogy and historical significance. The manuscripts, according to Mr. Anut Ekowiyono, were inherited from his great-grandfather, who hailed from Bangil (Pasuruan), Ponorogo, and Gunung Kawi itself. This lineage highlights the connection between the manuscripts and the broader historical and cultural networks of Java. The presence of these manuscripts at Gunung Kawi provides valuable evidence of the Islamisation process led by Javanese scholars in this region, suggesting that Gunung Kawi served as an important site for religious and cultural transformation. Culturally, Gunung Kawi has long been significant, functioning as a boundary and a point of cultural continuity. During the ancient Javanese period, it marked the division between the land of Kāḍiri and Tumapel in the 12th century—a time dominated by Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms such as Singosari and Majapahit. In the Islamic colonial era, the site maintained its cultural significance, delineating the boundary between Islamic Mataram and Arek culture. This layered history underscores Gunung Kawi’s role as a dynamic cultural and religious frontier throughout Javanese history.

Gunung Kawi di Malang hingga saat ini masih dikenal dengan citranya sebagai tempat pesugihan. Namun, di sisi lain ditemukan pula naskah-naskah kuno yang berkorelasi dengan ajaran Islam. Temuan naskah-naskah kuno di Gunung Kawi Malang merupakan koleksi pribadi Bapak Anut Ekowiyono. Mayoritas naskah-naskah kuno ditulis menggunakan aksara Arab pegon. Kajian ini mengkaji genealogi temuan naskah-naskah kuno di Gunung Kawi Malang yang dimiliki pribadi oleh Bapak Anut Ekowiyono. Hasilnya naskah-naskah kuno di Gunung Kawi Malang yang dimiliki pribadi oleh Bapak Anut Ekowiyono merupakan warisan turun temuran dari kakek buyutnya. Berdasarkan wawancara dengan Bapak Anut Ekowiyono kakek buyutnya berasal dari Bangil (Pasuruan), Ponorogo dan dari Gunung Kawi Malang sendiri. Keberadaan naskah-naskah kuno di Gunung Kawi Malang bukti sahih bahwa terdapat proses Islamisasi oleh ulama Jawa di Gunung Kawi Malang. Secara kebudayaan pada masa Jawa kuno Gunung Kawi Malang batas kultural dan sebagai kontinuitas budaya antara bumi Kadhiri (kāḍiri) dan bumi Tumapel pada abad ke 12 (masa Hindu-Buddha) terutama Singosari sampai Majapahit. Pada jaman Islam-kolonial menjadi batas kultural antara Mataram Islam dan kebudayaan Arek.

This study aims to explain the function of prepositions in the Javanese language. The objective of this research was to identify the semantic functions that can be fulfilled by words acting as prepositions using a typological approach. The data used in this study were taken from the speech of the people in Dusun Nyamplung, Margokaton, Seyegan, Sleman, in their daily lives. The sample was taken from this area because all the residents use Javanese. The Javanese analyzed was Ngoko Javanese. Data were collected using the listening and note-taking method. The obtained data were then classified into several categories based on their semantic functions. The results show that prepositions serve various semantic functions, including as tools, direction, origin, end boundary, manner, intermediary, equivalence, allocation, occurrence, time, purpose, place, agent, patient, cause, comparison, topic, basis, reciprocity, accompaniment, estimation, and intensity.

Published: December 2024

Recent advances in biotechnology have sparked global interest in developing biosimilar drugs, particularly those containing physiologically active proteins, such as growth factors and cytokines. The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris can produce and secrete fully active heterologous proteins with strong secretory capacity and low levels of native proteins and has the ability to achieve high cell densities. In this study, a yeast‐based system was used to express and purify recombinant human granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor (rG‐CSF). Cultures were induced every 12 h for 48 h to express rG‐CSF, and parameters such as cell density, media pH, and cell dry weight were observed. Cell density increased along with the corresponding secretion of rG‐CSF during the induction period, as determined by Western blot assay, while the pH of the media remained stable. Ammonium sulfate at different saturation levels was used to precipitate the recombinant protein, with the highest total protein content determined spectrophotometrically at 29.6 µg/mL. Ni‐NTA resin with affinity column purification was used to purify the recombinant protein. The purified protein showed rG‐CSF with a molecular weight of approximately 18 kDa based on SDS‐PAGE analysis and immuno slot blot assay detected in purple. Overall, the study results indicated that the production and purification of rG‐CSF was successful, although optimization was required. The long‐term goal of this research is to discover alternative methods and sources for producing biosimilars of the therapeutic protein rG‐CSF, which can be utilized in the pharmaceutical industry to support health programs, particularly cancer treatment.
