A project funded by the National Science Foundation, Computer Science Integrated with Mathematics in Middle Schools (CSIMMS) (DRL-1640039), brought middle-school mathematics teachers together with university computer science (CS) faculty and STEM education faculty to design, develop, and test curriculum modules in which CS is integrated into instruction for middle-school general-mathematics courses. The project developed integrated math/CS curriculum modules (for grades 6, 7, and 8), complete with student tasks and teacher materials to guide classroom implementation. Across the project, sixteen teachers from four middle schools representing different school contexts (both urban and suburban, serving students from a range of demographic and socioeconomic backgrounds) participated as members of the design team and trial testers of the math/CS modules. All modules underwent multiple years of testing and refinement, with extensive input from the teachers who co-designed and implemented them. Approximately 50-100 middle-school students participated in the classes of those who taught each year. The modules in this volume feature a range of models for integrating mathematics and computer science at the 6th and 7th grade levels.

Phytoremediation of perfluorochemicals: A review of its advances, feasibility and limitations
Authors: Tang Kuok Ho Daniel
Published: February 2024

The detection of perfluorochemicals (PFCs) in various environmental compartments has raised attention and driven countermeasures to reduce their prevalence. Phytoremediation provides a feasible option for PFCs removal from the environment. Crops such as maize, carrots, lettuce, tomato and spinach have demonstrated the ability to phytoextract and phytoaccumulate PFCs. The bioconcentration factors (BCFs) of PFCs in plants widely vary with plant types, plant parts, the types of PFCs and the properties of soil. Maize straw for instance was shown to have a high BCF (35.23) for perfluorobutanoic acid in comparison to maize kernel with a BCF of only 0.229 for the same compound. Maize leaves have a BCF of 9.39 for perfluorohexane sulphonic acid and maize roots have a BCF of 8.82 for perfluorooctane sulphonic acid. Carrots were found to degrade fluorotelomers whereas silver birch and long beechfern are good accumulators of numerous PFCs. BCFs of perfluoroalkyl carboxylic acids are usually negatively correlated to the carbon chain lengths due to decreasing aqueous solubilities with increasing carbon chain lengths which impede root uptake of the compounds. PCFs phytoremediation is low cost, less energy intensive, operationally simple and environmentally friendly but has the drawbacks of inconsistent performance, long duration, and lacking evidence on mineralization of perfluoroalkyl substances. The use of non-crop plants for PFCs phytoremediation is promulgated due to concern of food wastage and the biomass generated from phytoremediating plants should ideally be suitable as feedstock for bioenergy production. This review contributes to further advancement of PFCs phytoremediation by addressing its current limitations.

Case Study : Prognosis of Recurrent Depressive Disorder with Somatic Symptoms
Authors: Laila Firda Nur , Algristian Hafid , Azizah Nur
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Depression is a common disease worldwide, with more than 264 million people affected. Especially if it lasts a long time and is of moderate or severe intensity, depression can be a serious health condition. Depression can cause affected people to suffer greatly and function poorly at work, at school, and in the family. At its worst, depression can lead to suicide. In general, the good prognosis of depressive episodes can be achieved as well as good response to treatment and early interventions, but with the absence of any other complication such as psychotic symptoms and somatic complaints. This paper discusses the prognosis of recurrent depressive disorders with somatic complaints through a case study.
Case: Male 23 years old complained of headaches that did not improve with pain medication and often recurred for two weeks, feels tingling and heavy in the back, worsening at night, interfere with the patient's daily activities and sleep in the night. These depressive symptoms have recurred since the patient was 19 years old. The patient experienced repeated stress due to arguments between his parents who were often involved in verbal abuse. The patient's prognosis is analyzed using several aspects according to Maramis prognosis analysis, including age, premorbid personality, type of disorder, course of treatment, hereditary factors, and the presence/absence of precipitating factors.
Discussion: According to the course of the disease, the patient experienced recurrent depression since the age of less than 20 years, with somatic symptoms currently accompanying his depressive disorder. The patient experienced repeated recurrences even though he was stated to have improved by the treating doctor, which indicates that the patient's stress management was inadequate. The patient is currently experiencing a skin disorder that worsens his pessimistic feelings and is receiving SSRI antidepressants to improve his depressive symptoms. Based on the analysis of the course of the disease, the prognosis for depressive disorders in patients is poor, or dubia ad bonam.
Conclusions: Recurrent depressive disorders involving younger ages, complications such as somatic symptoms, suboptimal social support, inadequate coping mechanisms, will worsen the prognosis of depression even after receiving adequate treatment

Introduction: Movement disorders can be separated into hypokinetic disorders, which cause paucity or slowness (bradykinesia), and hyperkinetic disorders, which cause excessive, aberrant involuntary motions Less than 5% of individuals with cerebrovascular diseases presented with involuntary movement. It might be difficult to identify and diagnose hyperkinetic disorders.
Case: We describe a 56-year-old man who arrived at the hospital with 5 hours of abrupt, uncontrollable movement in his right upper and lower limbs. A complete neurological evaluation revealed an uncontrolled, nonrhythmic, non-patterned, aimless, and frequently jerky movement of the right upper and lower limbs with a ballistic component that varies in amplitude and frequency. Higher psychic function and cranial nerves were normal. Chest radiography, electrocardiography were normal. Hemorrhage was ruled out by a brain non-contrast CT scan at admission. The patient was diagnosed with hemichorea-hemiballism caused by an ischemic stroke based on clinical evidence of a sudden neurological deficit of aberrant involuntary movement. After receiving medical treatment for five days, the involuntary motions stopped occurring without causing any more neurological abnormalities or weakening.
Discussion: Ischemic stroke diagnosis relied on skilled clinical assessment without explicit neuroimaging. While hemiballismus is characterized by violent irregular flinging movements of the limbs brought on by contractions of the proximal muscles, hemichorea consists of continuous random, anarchic, and jerking movements involving both the distal and proximal muscles (though it is occasionally localized more distally).
Conclusion : Hyperkinetic movement disorders are a rare presentation of stroke. The pathophysiology of these abnormal movements remains uncertain. Even though they are uncommon, following a stroke, aberrant motions can occur suddenly or develop gradually. Hemichorea-hemiballismus with abrupt onset should be treated as an acute stroke unless proven other causes

Introduction: Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is generally viewed as diagnosis of exclusion in women presenting with heart failure and systolic dysfunction of unclear identifiable etiology. Etiology of PPCM is not fully understood and multifactorial. The purpose of this case is to review the diagnosis and management PPCM based on our experience in managing 31 years old woman with PPCM.
Case: A 31 year old woman presented with dyspnea persisting for two days, exacerbated over the last 24 hours. She gave birth to her third child seven months ago. Patient had been experiencing dyspnea since 4 months earlier but seek no medical help. Upon physical examination, hemodynamic was stable, wet rales was noted in two thirds of the lung fields. Echocardiography revealed dilated left ventricle with eccentric hypertrophy and reduced ejection fraction (18%). Treatment was initiated with furosemide IV to resolve dyspnea, then Ramipril, bisoprolol, forxiga and spironolactone was given as heart failure therapy.
Discussion: PPCM should be suspected in any peripartum women presenting with symptoms and signs of heart failure. Careful history taking and diagnostic testing especially echocardiography is important to help physicians determine the diagnosis.
Conclusion: Treatment with medication adjusted for pregnancy and lactation may prevent adverse outcome, improve clinical symptoms and improve the overall cardiac functions. Long term follow up is important for patients with PPCM, since the optimal duration of medications after recovery is still unknown.

Construction work has a high-risk workplace. Construction workers are often faced with difficult and dangerous working situations. One of the efforts to protect workers in Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is by supplying Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This study analyzes the correlation between knowledge and compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE) used in construction workers. This paper correlated quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. The study population was all construction workers at EMC Alam Sutera Hospital, South Tangerang, totaling 70 people. There were 70 respondents with a total sampling technique. The instruments were PPE compliance observation sheets and PPE knowledge questionnaires. Data analysis was univariate and bivariate analysis. Results showed that most respondents were 40 or older (60%). In addition, half of them had secondary and tertiary education (54.3%). Most also had good knowledge about PPE (65.7%). Of the 46 construction workers with good PPE knowledge, 42 complied with PPE use (91.3), and only four were not compliant (8.7%). Meanwhile, of the 24 construction workers with poor knowledge of PPE, 11 were not compliant with PPE use (45.8%), and 13 were compliant (54.3%). The statistical test results obtained were p=0.001. Thus, there was a significant correlation between knowledge and compliance with PPE use in respondents. In conclusion, knowledge correlates compliance with PPE uses among construction workers in EMC Alam Sutera Hospital, South Tangerang City. The hospital should provide recommendations to construction companies at EMC Alam Sutera Hospital, South Tangerang City, regarding using full PPE for construction workers.

Health Education is an activity to create health education that seeks to make young people aware of how to take care of their health, how to avoid or prevent things that are detrimental to their own health, one of the problems of young women is the lack of knowledge of reproductive health. This study aims to determine the effect of reproductive health education using the whisper chain method on the knowledge and attitudes of young women. The design of this research is pre-experimental. The design of this study uses the Pre-test – Post-test Design. The population of all grade VI students is 22 students. The sample of this research was class VI girls at UPT SD NEGERI 60 Gresik. The sampling technique was carried out by purposive sampling with 21 female students who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria as respondents. The independent variable of health education and the dependent variable are the knowledge and attitudes of young women about reproductive health using the chain whisper method. Data was collected using knowledge and attitude questionnaires before and after the provision of reproductive health education. Reproductive health education using the chain whisper method was carried out for 1 time 120 minutes at UPT SD Negeri 60 Gresik, Cerme District, Gresik Regency. Statistical test using the Wilcoxon Test ≤0.05. The results of the research on knowledge of young women before being given reproductive health education (poor) after (good) p=0.001, attitudes of young women before being given reproductive health education (negative) after (positive) p=0.000. This means that there is an influence of reproductive health education using the chain whisper method on the knowledge and attitudes of young women. For this reason, the researchers hope that this research can be used as a form of routine activity to add insight to female students about reproductive health.
