Authors: Koto Nadaa Febian , Priyoyudanto Febri
Published: February 2024

Tulisan ini menggali makna simbolis bendera Sarekat Islam dan merinci sejarah perkembangannya di Indonesia. Bendera ini, dengan warna hijau, putih, dan merah, tidak hanya mencerminkan identitas Islam, tetapi juga memuat nilai-nilai keadilan, kesucian, dan semangat perjuangan. Seiring sejarahnya, Sarekat Islam, awalnya sebagai wadah ekonomi, berkembang menjadi organisasi politik yang memperjuangkan hak-hak rakyat pribumi dan menjadi tonggak awal dalam perjalanan gerakan nasional Indonesia. Sejarah perkembangan Sarekat Islam mencakup peran kunci tokoh seperti Haji Samanhudi, serta tantangan internal dan eksternal yang dihadapinya, termasuk larangan oleh pemerintah kolonial Belanda. Dengan menggali makna bendera dan mengulas sejarahnya, tulisan ini bertujuan membuka pemahaman lebih lanjut tentang peran dan dampak Sarekat Islam dalam perjuangan menuju kemerdekaan Indonesia.

The intelligent egg incubator is designed to improve existing egg incubators to transform the traditional breeding method into a modern and advanced breeding method. To reduce the chore that traditional breeding methods can cause, the use of an automatic incubator is therefore recommended to ensure the best possible hatching rate. Automatic incubators also allow you to control heat and humidity levels to reproduce ideal brooding conditions. The main objective of this work is to design an egg incubation system that performs better than manual incubation. The proposed system is an innovation that makes it possible to monitor the temperature, humidity and movement of the egg inside the incubator thanks to a data acquisition system taking into account the physiological conditions of the eggs. The proposed system is equipped with a Wi-Fi module via the ESP32, allowing the system to be manipulated remotely.

Authors:   Doctor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Professor, Tashkent Pharmaceutical Institute, Yunusova Kholida Mannanovna
Published: February 2024

Today, neurological diseases occupy one of the leading places in terms of prevalence among all diseases. According to the World Health Organization, over the past 65 years, the number of neurological diseases in the world has increased more than 20 times and amounts to approximately 40%. Despite the relatively wide availability of means for the prevention and treatment of neurological diseases, the development and implementation of new, more effective and safe means remains relevant. In this regard, preparations from medicinal plants deserve special attention, since they are closer to the human body than synthetic drugs, easily enter into metabolic processes, practically do not cause side effects and often reduce negative consequences. The main goal of this work is to develop a new composition and technology for “Sedtab” tablets based on local plant materials, i.e. stinging nettle, lemon balm and motherwort, as well as the study of technological properties based on scientific criteria for the creation of medicinal products.

The increasing rate of antibiotic resistance demonstrated by bacterial pathogens is an emerging problem that is considered a major health concern globally, especially in low-and middle-income countries. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus from hospital environment and to detect the presence of resistance genes in the MRSA isolates. One hundred and ninety-two (192) swab samples of doorknob, bedrail, table tops and drip stand were collected from 4 hospitals within Dutsin-Ma and Kurfi local government. Antibiotic Susceptibility testing and phenotypic detection of MRSA were conducted using disc diffusion method.  MecA gene was detected using Polymerase Chain Reaction. One hundred and eleven 111(57.8%) out of 192 samples were positive for S. aureus. The result showed that cefoxitin was the most effective antibiotic (66.6%) against the isolates from all the four hospitals while erythromycin was the less effective against the isolates (35.1%).  A total of six (5.40%) Methicillin Resistant S. aureus and MDR (12.61%) were detected from the four hospitals. In conclusion, all the four hospitals were found to be contaminated with Methicillin resistant S. aureus, with Kurfi General Hospital having the highest number of MRSA (3). Out of the 6 phenotypically detected isolates of MRSA screened, mecA gene was detected in five (5) isolates. It is recommended that, proper hygiene practice should be improved in the healthcare settings, and proper use of antibiotics should be highly encouraged among individuals in both community and hospital.

A iluminação natural, quando presente nos ambientes internos das edificações, em concordância com as necessidades de cada local, traz benefícios à saúde humana. Por outro lado, quando está em discordância com o espaço, pode ter um efeito negativo, causando problemas como ofuscamento, reflexos, sombras e interferências térmicas. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa visa simular, interpretar e comparar como a luz natural e seu desempenho lumínico, com base na métrica sDA (Spatial Daylight Autonomy), se comportam em um ambiente residencial nas cidades de Santa Maria/RS (zona bioclimática 2), Cuiabá/MT (zona bioclimática 7) e Fortaleza/CE (zona bioclimática 8). Foi utilizado o software DesignBuilder, tendo em vista os critérios adotados pelo RTQ-R para o processamento analítico mais detalhado dos dados. Os resultados obtidos nas simulações indicam que os índices de luz natural de melhor desempenho nos modelos analisados na faixa de 300 lux alcançaram 99,52% e foram posicionados na fachada oeste da cidade de Cuiabá/MT, enquanto os índices de pior desempenho atingiram 57,49% e foram simulados na fachada sul da cidade de Santa Maria/RS. Isso se deve ao fato de que, no Hemisfério Sul, as fachadas norte e oeste recebem mais luz solar direta do que as fachadas sul e leste.

El yaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi) es oportunista, generalista, de hábitos diurnos. Es una especie evasiva de baja detectabilidad, lo que dificulta su estudio. Entre julio y septiembre del 2022 en el corregimiento de Zaragoza en Cartago Valle del Cauca, fueron instaladas dos cámaras trampa para monitorear un predio privado afectado por la depredación de aves de corral. Como resultado, se encontro H. yagouaroundi, siendo este el primer registro de la especie en este municipio. Estos registros sugieren que presiones antrópicas como la urbanización, los monocultivos y el desarrollo de infraestructuras de transporte promueven la coocurrencia entre humanos, animales domésticos y félidos silvestres. Por esto es importante el planteamiento de áreas estratégicas para la conservación de la especie y sus presas naturales en zonas urbanas.

Authors: LEGUSOV Oleg , Leong Julie , Le Thu , Ramdass Jasmattie
Published: February 2024

With changing demographics, Canadian institutions of higher education are under pressure to address the challenges of student, faculty, and staff diversity. Despite growing numbers of international students at Canada’s community colleges, this group has historically been underrepresented. The intersectionality of their minority-status characteristics makes their experience complex. This qualitative study of 35 international students and graduates from 15 countries uses critical theory to explore their experiences through the lens of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Despite a high degree of cultural diversity, some of them experienced stereotyping. Moreover, they tended to engage less in classroom discussions, and many of them were unaware of college resources and services. Consequently, they had difficulty adjusting to life at college and life in Canada.
Le recours massif à l’enseignement à distance lors de la pandémie de COVID-19 est-il susceptible de modifier en profondeur les valeurs et les normes de l’enseignement à l’université? Le cas d’une grande école de gestion canadienne
Authors: Mesny Anne , Pelletier Patrick , Didillon Lancelot
Published: February 2024

Les universités « traditionnelles » fondées sur l’enseignement présentiel n’ont pas eu le choix de recourir massivement à l’enseignement à distance durant la pandémie Covid-19. Chaque université a dû réagir en fonction des logiques institutionnelles dans lesquelles elle s’insère et en fonction de son propre « archétype organisationnel » en matière d’enseignement. Certaines valeurs, croyances, normes et mécanismes de fonctionnement relatifs à l’enseignement ont été soit renforcés, soit bousculés, par le recours massif à l’enseignement à distance. À partir de l’étude qualitative en profondeur du cas d’une grande école de gestion canadienne,  nous analysons dans quelle mesure les actions et décisions relatives à l’enseignement prises pendant la pandémie renforcent ou fragilisent son archétype organisationnel. L’analyse suggère que les décisions prises ont solidifié l’archétype organisationnel fondé sur la valeur de l’enseignement présentiel et des interactions entre enseignant et étudiants, mais l’ont aussi fragilisé, notamment concernant les valeurs et normes relatives à l’autonomie et l’expertise des enseignants, ainsi qu’au partage des rôles et décisions entre enseignants, gestionnaires et étudiants.
The Promotion of Unhu/Ubuntu/Vumunhu Through the Teaching of Heritage Education in ECD Classrooms of Zimbabwe
Authors: Pakombwele Agnes , Mapolisa Professor Tichaona
Published: February 2024

Globally, heritage education is seen as a model which can be implemented to provide a holistic education that incorporates spiritual, cultural, and moral values to all citizens. In Zimbabwe, the education is underpinned by a philosophy of unhu/ubuntu/vumunhu which nurtures humanness, human interdependence and the sense of community in learners. In addition, early childhood proponents underscore the teaching of socio-cultural knowledge to young children during their early stages of learning. The newly introduced Zimbabwe Curriculum Framework for Primary and Secondary Education (2015-2022) includes family and heritage studies as one of the curriculum areas to be taught from early childhood development (ECD) to tertiary level. The framework emphasises continuous development of unhu/ubuntu/vumunhu from ECD to the point of exiting secondary education. Against this background, the study examined how teachers are instilling unhu/ubuntu/vumunhu values in ECD learners through heritage education. The study further explored the alignment of the curriculum demands to ECD teachers’ practices in teaching heritage studies. An explorative qualitative case study informed by the socio-constructivism was adopted. Data was gathered from three teachers through semi-structured interviews and analysis of teacher artifacts. The study revealed that there is a gap between the curriculum demands and teachers’ classroom practices on the teaching of unhu/ubuntu/vumunhu culture at early childhood development. Teachers lack adequate content knowledge on heritage education and continue to use traditional methods of teaching in ECD. The paper concludes by suggesting a culturally-based model of classroom practice that is oriented towards inculcating unhu values in learners.

Antecedentes: Las radiaciones prelemniscales (Raprl) han sido propuestas como un blanco para el tratamiento de la enfermedad de Parkinson. Evaluamos la efectividad de este blanco a través del UPDRS-III en pacientes tratados mediante estimulación cerebral profunda de las Raprl (Raprl-DBS) y seguidos por 24 a 48 meses.Métodos: Diecinueve pacientes en estadio II-III de Hoehn-Yahr fueron implantados con electrodos tetrapolares de estimulación cerebral profunda en las Raprl contralaterales a las extremidades con síntomas más prominentes. La ubicación fue asistida por MRI/ CT/atlas de fusión anatómica, registro con microelectrodo, macro y micro estimulación. El efecto en los síntomas motores fue evaluado en un protocolo de etiqueta abierta mediante apartados específicos de la escala UPDRS-III aplicada preoperatoriamente y a los 6, 12, 24, y 48 meses después del inicio de la estimulación en condición OFFmedicación/ ON-estimulación. Los cambios en las escalas respecto a la condición preoperatoria fueron obtenidos para cada síntoma en ambos lados y la significancia estadística se determinó a través de la prueba de Wilcoxon a doble cola. La influencia de variables demográficas en el resultado fue analizada usando regresión lineal.Resultados: Un descenso mayor del 80% en la escala UPDRS para los síntomas contralaterales (clasificado como resultados excelentes) ocurrió en 14 pacientes (73.7%), mientras en los otros 5 disminuyó de 33 a 79% (considerados resultados subóptimos). Estos cambios permanecieron estadísticamente significativos a los 48 meses (p<0,01), mientras los síntomas ipsilaterales se incrementaron progresivamente. Los resultados subóptimos fueron asociados con mejoría selectiva de un síntoma.Conclusión: Raprl-DBS induce mejoría de los síntomas acrales contralaterales de la enfermedad de Parkinson a largo plazo.

Published: February 2024

As alternatives to antibiotics and growth promoters, herbs and medicinal plants can contribute to new strategies for aquatic health management, and have great potential for more sustainable aquaculture. Four plants, Pelargonium roseum, Schinus terenbinthifolius, Murraya koenigii and Aphloia theiformis, widely distributed in tropical countries were studied to assess their efficacy in the prevention and reduction of mortality caused by experimental infection with Aeromonas hydrophila on Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Powdered plants were incorporated into fish feed, and fish were fed with an enriched diet for 40 days before a challenge with the pathogen. No negative impact on the condition factor, weight gain or specific growth rate was observed in fish fed with the plant supplements, and the best growth was observed in fish fed with P. roseum. Mortality was significantly reduced in fish treated with A. theiformis compared to other fish from plant species and control, with a relative survival rate (RPS) of up to 30%.

Advanced persistent threats (APTs) are cyberattacking that use covert strategies to target specific groups. As a result of the rapid growth of computing technology and the widespread connectivity of devices, there has been a boom in data transfer across networks. Because APTs' attack tactics are always changing, it can be difficult to detect them. This has led cybersecurity experts to develop creative solutions. We found gaps in the research on APT detection by doing a systematic literature review (SLR) covering the years 2012 to 2022 and finding 75 studies related to computer, mobile, and Internet of Things technologies. The most sophisticated cyberattack, known as an advanced persistent threat, involves malevolent individuals breaking into a network without authorization and staying hidden for an extended period. Advancement persistent threat attacks and organizational threats are becoming more frequent. Machine learning is one technique used to detect attacks by sophisticated persistent threats. The need for improved detection methods is highlighted by our findings, and we offer suggestions to guide the creation of early APT detection models and progress in cybersecurity. We propose a conceptual model known as Cyber Guardian that uses Random Forest classifier and attention techniques to create a self-translation machine through an encoder-decoder framework. These advanced attention algorithms are intended to improve the machine's capacity to examine and decipher intricate patterns found in HTTP requests, enhancing APT detection capabilities, and providing cybersecurity experts with cutting-edge instruments to proactively detect and neutralize new threats in real-time. This all-encompassing strategy is a major advancement in the ongoing fight against Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and emphasizes how crucial it is for the cybersecurity community to continuously innovate and collaborate in order to remain ahead of changing cyberthreats.

Published: February 2024

This project focuses on acquiring customized video summaries using thumbnail container-based summarization framework and 2D CNN model to select and extract specific features from thumbnails. This framework creates a custom keyshot summary for two or more concurrent users by leveraging the computing power of the user’s device. The most advanced methods that collect and analyze complete video data to create video summaries consume a lot of computing power. In this context, we use the thumbnail containers framework which implements light thumbnails to manage the complex detection of events. This minimizes computational complexity and increases communication and storage performance by overcoming computational and privacy issues in resource constrained end-user environments. We aim on developing a user interactive customized video summarization tool which will be trained utilizing diverse datasets leading to the generation of personalized video summaries for feature-length videos.

Purpose

Computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography is considered the gold standard for pulmonary embolism (PE) diagnosis, relying on the discrimination between contrast and embolus. Photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) generates monoenergetic reconstructions through energy-resolved detection. Virtual monoenergetic images (VMI) at low keV can be used to improve pulmonary artery opacification. While studies have assessed VMI for PE diagnosis on dual-energy CT (DECT), there is a lack of literature on optimal settings for PCD-CT-PE reconstructions, warranting further investigation.

Material and methods

Twenty-five sequential patients who underwent PCD-CT pulmonary angiography for suspicion of acute PE were retrospectively included in this study. Quantitative metrics including signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise (CNR) ratio were calculated for 4 VMI values (40, 60, 80, and 100 keV). Qualitative measures of diagnostic quality were obtained for proximal to distal pulmonary artery branches by 2 cardiothoracic radiologists using a 5-point modified Likert scale.

Results

SNR and CNR were highest for the 40 keV VMI (49.3 ± 22.2 and 48.2 ± 22.1, respectively) and were inversely related to monoenergetic keV. Qualitatively, 40 and 60 keV both exhibited excellent diagnostic quality (mean main pulmonary artery: 5.0 ± 0 and 5.0 ± 0; subsegmental pulmonary arteries 4.9 ± 0.1 and 4.9 ± 0.1, respectively) while distal segments at high (80-100) keVs had worse quality.

Conclusions

40 keV was the best individual VMI for the detection of pulmonary embolism by quantitative metrics. Qualitatively, 40-60 keV reconstructions may be used without a significant decrease in subjective quality. VMIs at higher keV lead to reduced opacification of the distal pulmonary arteries, resulting in decreased image quality.

The presumption of the defendant’s innocence is one of the fundamental principles of modern criminal procedure. It could be argued that there is no person who, regardless of the level of education and profession, has never heard of the maxim of criminal procedure according to which everyone charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law. Despite the general „popularization“ of the presumption of innocence, many legal scholars and practitioners would recoil to define its content and legal nature. After the introductory considerations, the paper analyzes the legislative history of the presumption of innocence in former Yugoslavian and Croatian legislation and the understanding of its legal nature. Furthermore, the content of the right to presumption of innocence is examined in international legal sources, primarily the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, as well as in the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, and subsequently in the European Union law. The latter includes the normative codification of the presumption of innocence, which was implemented at the EU level by the adoption of Directive 2016/343 on the strengthening of certain aspects of the presumption of innocence and of the right to be present at the trial in criminal proceedings. The presumption of innocence is also analyzed from the viewpoint of the Croatian normative framework and case law. The last part of the paper contains concluding remarks.
