Authors: Lea HongYu
Published: May 2024

Judicial review, as a form of external supervision, can effectively improve the lack of self-supervision by administrative subjects. Obviously improper as one of the circumstances of administrative behavior, the definition of the academic community, and the “Administrative Procedure Law” and its judicial interpretation of the lack of clear definitions and application standards, resulting in the court in the judicial practice of the application of “obviously improper” as the basis for review of the standard is not uniform and inconsistent application of the problem, judges and Relying on their accumulated professional knowledge and practical experience to determine whether the administrative subject of the administrative act constitutes “obviously improper”, with a greater subjectivity, which may lead to administrative action as well as the judicial trial of the phenomenon of the same case, undermining the impartiality and authority of the judiciary, not conducive to the construction of the rule of law, the rule of law government. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the need for the meaning of clearly improper and its judgment standards, standardize the “clearly improper” the scope of application of the basis for review, the establishment of a unified standard of judicial review, but also to continue to improve the administrative case guidance system. Therefore, clarifying its criteria is of great significance to the people’s courts in correctly adjudicating administrative cases to safeguard the lawful rights and interests of citizens and legal persons, and also helps to standardize the criteria for judicial review, and to regulate and limit administrative power.

Authors: Teramoto Ohara Alberto , Jurado Rivera Christian Paulina , Teramoto Iida Airy
Published: May 2024

Introducción: los arcos metálicos estéticos son más discretos que los arcos metálicos convencionales. Uno de los arcos metálicos estéticos más utilizados en ortodoncia está constituido por un núcleo de aleación de Níquel Titanio (NiTi) recubierto con rodio. El rodio es un metal extremadamente duro y presenta una alta reflectancia, convirtiendo al arco metálico NITi recubierto de rodio una solución estética para el tratamiento de ortodoncia. Objetivo: dar a conocer los resultados de la evaluación de la fricción en tres tipos de arcos. Materiales y Métodos: se llevó a cabo un diseño experimental en donde se utilizaron 30 arcos de alambre de calibre 0.016” x 0.022”, de tres características diferentes: NiTi sin recubrimiento estético, NiTi con recubrimiento de rodio y NiTi con recubrimiento de teflón. Estos arcos se colocaron en 20 modelos experimentales confeccionados de acrílico a los cuales se les colocaron 40 brackets In Ovation R ® (Dentsply Sirona) ranura 0.018”x 0.025”. Para simular las condiciones bucales los arcos fueron traccionados a diferentes distancias: 3mm, 6mm, 7mm y 8mm a velocidad de 10 mm/min en la máquina de prueba de deflexión utilizando saliva artificial a 25°C como lubricante, y se midió la fricción generada. Resultados: se identificaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la fricción generada por los arcos de NiTi sin recubrimiento al compararlos con los NiTi con recubrimiento de rodio y teflón (p>0.0001). Conclusiones: los arcos de ortodoncia con recubrimiento de rodio cumplen la finalidad de generar una apariencia más estética, además de no alterar las dimensiones originales ni las propiedades de los arcos. El recubrimiento de rodio genera menos fricción a los movimientos ortodónticos.

Audience Engagement Monitoring System Using Machine Learning
Authors: Rane Mandar
Published: May 2024

Abstract: Effective communication in educational and presentation settings relies heavily on audience engagement. To address this, we propose a novel Real-Time Audience Engagement Monitoring System that leverages computer vision and real-time data analysis techniques. The system employs a multi-step process, beginning with face detection and facial landmark detection to identify audience members and analyze their head movements. Utilizing OpenCV and MediaPipe libraries, the system estimates the pose of audience members' heads, allowing for the calculation of attention scores based on head movements and facial orientation. These attention scores are then streamed in real-time using Socket.IO to a Node.js/Express.js server, which serves as a central hub for data distribution. The server disseminates the attention scores to multiple dashboard applications, where speakers and educators can monitor audience engagement throughout the session. This research presents a comprehensive approach to assessing and enhancing audience engagement in real-time, providing valuable insights for improving communication and learning outcomes.

Published: May 2024

Abstract: In the realm of agricultural technology, the classification of weeds in cotton fields holds significant importance for enhancing crop yield and reducing manual labor. This paper proposes an ensemble method leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML) techniques for efficient weed classification in cotton fields. The ensemble method combines multiple machine learning algorithms to create a robust classification model capable of accurately identifying various weed species amidst cotton plants. Key steps involve data collection from cotton fields, preprocessing techniques to enhance data quality, feature extraction to identify relevant characteristics, and model training using ensemble learning algorithms such as Google net, Alex net. The proposed approach aims to overcome the limitations of individual algorithms by leveraging their collective intelligence to improve classification accuracy and reliability. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the ensemble method in accurately differentiating between different weed species, thereby aiding farmers in implementing targeted weed control strategies and optimizing crop management practices. Overall, this study showcases the potential of AIML-based ensemble methods in addressing agricultural challenges and fostering sustainable farming practices

Authors: Hizon Jade O , Cruz Nikki Y , Collantes Leila M. , Torres Joel M. , Mukminin Amirul
Published: May 2024

Employing a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design, this study ventures into uncharted territory by investigating the impact of Concept Cartoons as a pedagogical tool in teaching Evolution on the academic performance of 40 Grade 11 STEM students enrolled in General Biology 2, conducted synchronously. Furthermore, the research pioneers an exploration into students' misconceptions surrounding foundational concepts in Evolution, leveraging Concept Cartoons as a formative assessment tool deployed within an online learning platform. The cohort was divided into control (n = 21) and experimental (n = 19) groups, with the former receiving instruction through traditional lecture methods and the latter through Concept Cartoons administered digitally. Surprisingly, while students exhibited a spectrum of misconceptions related to Evolution, both experimental and control groups demonstrated statistically significant improvements in academic achievement from pre-test to post-test. Intriguingly, however, comparison of post-test scores between the experimental and control groups via independent t-test yielded no significant difference in achievement. This incongruity prompted a nuanced discussion on potential contributing factors, including the efficacy of Concept Cartoons in digital media and unforeseen technical challenges encountered during synchronous instruction. These findings offer valuable insights for science educators navigating the transition from face-to-face to online instruction amid the ongoing pandemic, underscoring the importance of critically evaluating the adaptability and effectiveness of instructional materials within diverse learning modalities.

Published: May 2024

Rumah sakit merupakan fasilitas pelayanan kesehatan dengan kewajiban memberikan pelayanan kesehatan yang aman, bermutu, anti diskriminasi dan efektif dengan mengutamakan kepentingan pasien sesuai dengan standar pelayanan rumah sakit. Mutu yang baik dari sebuah rumah sakit dapat dikendalikan melalui clinical pathway. Namun belum semua rumah sakit menerapkan clinical pathway secara dengan baik. Sehingga penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi kepatuhan petugas kesehatan dalam penerapan clinical pathway selama pemberian pelayanan kepada pasien. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan melakukan wawancara kepada salah satu Panitia Peningkatan Mutu dan Keselamatan Pasien di Rumah Sakit Islam (RSI) Surabaya. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan sejak Desember 2020 hingga Maret 2021. Teknik analisis pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA) guna mengetahui potensi risiko yang dapat menghambat kelancaran alur proses pelayanan kasus Appendicitis Acute dalam pemanfaatan Clinical Pathways (CPWs) oleh tenaga kesehatan di Instalasi Gawat Darurat (IGD). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 9 modus kegagalan dalam implementasi CPW berdasarkan penentuan cut off point menggunakan prinsip pareto. Modus kegagalan tersebut terjadi karena CPW belum terintegrasi secara menyeluruh dengan Sistem Informasi Manajemen Rumah Sakit (SIM RS). Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa perlu adanya integerasi yang komprehensif antara CPW dan SIM RS guna meningkatkan kepatuhan penerapan CPW dalam upaya peningkatan mutu rumah sakit.

Can transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation mitigate vigilance loss? Examining the effects of stimulation at individualized vs. constant current intensity
Authors: Luna Fernando , Lupianez Juan , König Stefanie , Garscha Ulrike , fischer rico
Published: May 2024

According to the arousal model of vigilance, the locus
coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system modulates sustained attention
over long periods by regulating physiological arousal. Recent research
has proposed that transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation
(taVNS) modulates indirect physiological markers of LC-NE activity,
although its effects on vigilance have not yet been examined. Aiming to
develop a safe and non-invasive procedure to prevent vigilance failures
in prolonged tasks, the present study examined the possibility to
mitigate vigilance loss by stimulating the LC-NE system via taVNS.
Following a pre-registered protocol (https://osf.io/tu2xy/), 50
participants completed three repeated-sessions in a randomized order in
which either active taVNS at individualized intensity set by
participant, active taVNS set at 0.5 mA for all participants, or sham
taVNS, was delivered while performing an attentional and vigilance task
(i.e., ANTI-Vea). Changes in salivary alpha-amylase and cortisol
concentrations were measured as markers of LC-NE activity. Self-reports
of feelings associated with stimulation and guessing rate of active/sham
conditions supported the efficacy of the single-blind procedure.
Contrary to our predictions, the observed vigilance decrement was not
modulated by active taVNS. Pairwise comparisons showed a mitigation by
active taVNS on cortisol reduction across time. Interestingly,
Spearman’s correlational analyses showed some inter-individual effects
of taVNS on indirect markers of LC-NE, evidenced by positive
associations between changes in salivary alpha-amylase and cortisol in
active but not sham taVNS. We highlight the relevance of replicating and
extending the present outcomes, investigating further parameters of
stimulation and its effects on other indirect markers of LC-NE activity.
Data normalization in RAWEC method: Limitations and remedies
Authors: Trung Do , Truong Nguyen , Duc Duong , Bao Nguyen
Published: May 2024

Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods play a significant role in
evaluating and comparing options based on various criteria, helping optimize
decisions in complex situations. They enhance transparency and fairness in
the decision-making process while minimizing risks and optimizing decision
performance. Ranking of Alternatives with Weights of Criterion (RAWEC) is a
MCDM method recently proposed in early 2024. Its advantage lies in the
minimal steps required for implementation. Simultaneously employing two data
normalization approaches is also a distinctive feature of RAWEC compared to
most other MCDM methods. However, if there is at least one zero element in
the decision matrix, the normalization method using available data in RAWEC
cannot be utilized. This study aims to address these limitations.
Investigating the suitability of data normalization methods when combined
with the RAWEC method has been conducted in various scenarios. The results
of this study have addressed the limitations of the RAWEC method.
Specifically, an alternative normalization method has been identified as
suitable to replace the normalization method using available data in RAWEC
when there is at least one zero element in the decision matrix.

Anatomical evaluation of sacrum in dry bones
Authors: Özcan Ayşe Gamze , Solmaz Ekrem , Tatar Mehmet Cengiz , Karabulut Ahmet Kağan
Published: May 2024

Objectives: The sacrum is a critical bone in various clinical procedures, including caudal epidural blocks, iliosacral screw placements, fetal growth assessment, and sacral nerve stimulation. This study aims to investigate the morphometry and variational morphology of the anatomical formations in the pelvis and dorsal surface of the sacrum. Methods: Morphometric and morphological characteristics of 30 sacral bones of unknown age and sex were examined. Measurements were made using a digital caliper. Results: The mean height of the sacrum was 106.67±10.16 mm, while their mean width was 103.60±6.78 mm. The morphometric analysis revealed that the mean length of the sacral hiatus was 18.51±7.44 mm, and the distance between the sacral cornua was 11.80±2.46 mm. The sacral hiatus was most commonly observed in an inverted ‘U’ shape, while the least common form was bifid. The sacral canal typically displayed a V-shaped morphology. It was determined that the apex of the sacral hiatus most frequently started at the S4 level (80%) compared to the sacral vertebra, and the base of the sacral hiatus mostly ended at the S5 level (93.4%). Conclusion: Morphometry of the sacrum is essential in guiding clinicians, especially in interventions such as anesthesia and orthopedics. Discrepancies in parameter studies conducted in some countries suggest the significance of ethnic factors. Therefore, it is essential for the number of studies to increase and for physicians to follow the parameters of their society regarding the effectiveness of the treatments.

Published: May 2024

The integration of separate service systems, digitalisation, demographic changes, and staff shortages has increased the need for systematic and flexible skills development in social and health care services. In today’s working life, learning and development take place in ecosystems. This study aimed to evaluate and identify differences between students’ self-assessed competences and their beliefs about the importance of competence areas before and after professional specialisation education (PSE). The research questions were: 1) Was there any difference in students’ self-evaluated level of multidisciplinary competences before and after professional specialisation education? 2) Based on students’ self-evaluations, was there any difference between the multidisciplinary competences they considered important before and after professional specialisation education?
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and paired t-tests were used to examine the differences in the subjects’ spontaneous responses about whether they had experienced a change in their competences after undertaking specialisation education. In the initial survey (N = 274), the student respondent group was 180, and the total number of student pairs was 65. The initial and final measurements of the 65 students who responded to the follow-up survey were therefore comparable. Four-point Likert scales were used in the questionnaires. The modified questionnaire was designed so that students answered each of the competences at two levels from their own perspectives.
First, they described how important the acquisition of the skills described in this sentence would be for their own professional competence. Then, they assessed their current level of competence in relation to the sentence in question. There were no statistical differences (p>0.05) between measurements taken before and after education in most of the qualification statements describing importance. There were statistical differences (p<0.05) between the initial (before education) and post-training measurements (after education) for all statements describing self-assessment competences. According to this study, even micro-credentials promoted learning. In learning, ecosystem and perceived importance support the level of digital maturity of organisations.

Published: May 2024

This study aims to review Rasyid Ailal’s thoughts about the book Sahih Al-Bukhari and provide some criticisms of the results of the character’s thoughts reviewed by Rasyid Ailal in his book Sahih al-Bukhari Nihayah Usturah. Rasyid Ailal’s efforts to criticize S|ahih{ al-Bukhari created the potential for a great level of anxiety for the Muslim community. This is because this book is often referred to in every breath of Muslim activity. This paper uses the library research method. The data analysis technique is data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the study show that Rasyid Ailal’s thoughts are indeed very critical, it can be seen from his view that the scholars did not think of it, both from the subjectivity of Imam Bukhari to the quality of his Al-Bukhari, all of which were criticized. However, many of Rasyid Ailal’s criticisms do not have good arguments, and one might even say that his thoughts are just assumptions with no scientific basis. Therefore, this thought cannot be evident and is not permissible to follow because it can be misguided or misguided

Authors: Koster Anna Karoline Prestes , Pereira Paty
Published: May 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: O envelhecimento traz mudanças fisiológicas, incluindo perda de força muscular e desafios como a incontinência urinária (IU) em idosos. A IU, definida como a perda involuntária de urina, pode resultar de diversos fatores, como parto, obesidade e atrofia muscular perineal. A classificação inclui tipos como a IU por esforço, comum na menopausa. Muitas idosas afetadas evitam discutir o tema, impactando seu estilo de vida. OBJETIVO: Analisar a prevalência da incontinência urinária e seus fatores associados em idosas fisicamente ativas. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: A pesquisa caracterizou-se de natureza básica, transversal, prospectiva, quali-quantitativa, descritiva, exploratória. Utilizando um questionário sociodemográfico, mensurado medidas antropométricas através do Índice de Massa Muscular. Também utilizado o International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire – Short Form (ICIQ-SF), questionário para quantificar e classificar a perda urinária, e o King Health Questionarre para mensurar o impacto da incontinência urinária na qualidade de vida das idosas. RESULTADOS: A pesquisa contou com 30 idosas fisicamente ativas, com média de idade de 69,76 ± 7,17 anos. Os fatores associados predominantes foram doenças crônicas, sobrepeso, e parto normal. Com relação a classificação da perda urinária, o tipo predominante foi incontinência urinária ao esforço, e o impacto não foi significativo na qualidade para a amostra estudada. CONCLUSÃO: Concluiu-se que os principais fatores para a incontinência urinária em idosas incluem sobrepeso, multiparidade e hipertensão. Destaca-se a necessidade de superar tabus e promover conhecimento sobre a incontinência urinária, enfatizando a atuação da fisioterapia.

Published: May 2024

A pandemia de COVID-19 intensificou as reações emocionais e comportamentais, tais como insônia, transtornos de ansiedade e depressão nos indivíduos. Consequentemente, a literatura aponta um aumento no consumo de medicamentos benzodiazepínicos para tratar esse cenário. Objetivou-se analisar o consumo de benzodiazepínicos em uma farmácia pública municipal, no interior do estado da Paraíba, nos anos de 2019 (sem pandemia) e 2020 (com pandemia). Trata-se de um estudo de natureza observacional retrospectivo, com abordagem quantitativa, utilizando como fonte de dados as fichas de dispensação da farmácia municipal de Picuí-PB durante os anos selecionados. A pesquisa incluiu 348 registros de usuários de medicamentos benzodiazepínicos. Para a análise estatística, aplicou-se o teste t com o objetivo de testar hipóteses e o teste de Fisher ou o teste qui-quadrado foram usados para examinar a relação entre as variáveis estudadas. Usuários do sexo feminino (60%) e residentes na zona urbana mostraram um predomínio nas dispensações. Clonazepam 2 mg (46%), seguido de diazepam 10 mg (40%) foram os mais dispensados. Na comparação entre os anos de 2019 e 2020 não se observou discrepâncias nas quantidades dispensadas, assim, não foi possível fazer uma correlação de aumento em consequência do período pandêmico (p = 0,46), no entanto, foi possível descrever o perfil das dispensações no município da pesquisa. Assim, estudos retrospectivos mais amplos são necessários para averiguar com cautela a correlação.

Comparison of transfer of different sulphonamides from contaminated beeswax to honey
Authors: Mitrowska Kamila , Antczak Maja
Published: May 2024

Introduction

No maximum residue limits in honey have been legislated in the EU for antimicrobial substances such as sulphonamides, and they are not permitted, therefore, for treating honey bees unless in a cascade system. Since sulphonamides are used illegally in apiculture to treat foulbrood, their residues can be found in honey and other apiculture products, including beeswax. The study aimed to assess the contamination of honey from beeswax containing residues of 10 sulphonamides (sulphadimethoxine (SDM), sulphadoxine (SDX), sulphamonomethoxine (SMM), sulphamethoxazole (SMX), sulphameter (SMT), sulphamethazine (SMZ), sulphamerazine (SMR), sulphadiazine (SDA), sulphathiazole (STZ) and sulphacetamide (SCA)).

Material and Methods

Wax-based foundations fortified with 10 sulphonamides at 10,000 μg/kg were evaluated for sulphonamide concentrations and then placed in a beehive so that honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) could build honeycombs with them. Frames of capped honey were taken out of the hives one month later and honey was sampled from them. The honeycombs were subsequently incubated in a laboratory at 35°C for five months, and honey was sampled monthly. The honey sulphonamide concentrations were measured using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry and compared to the wax-based foundation concentrations.

Results

The maximum transfers to honey of the initial amount of SDM, SDX, SMM, SMX, SMT, SMZ, SMR, SDA, STZ and SCA in the wax-based foundations were 42.6, 34.3, 31.7, 30.1, 29.5, 25.2, 18.7, 16.1, 9.5 and 8.6%, respectively.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated that every tested sulphonamide could migrate from beeswax in antimicrobial-tainted honeycombs to honey, SDM having the highest migration potential and SCA the lowest.
Heavy Metals Content in the Bottom Sediment of the Lower Mekong River (Vietnam)
Authors: Duong Phung Thai , Nhung Pham Cam
Published: May 2024

Purpose: This article presents the results of research on the content of some heavy metals in bottom sediments of the lower Mekong River (Vietnam).
 
Methods: The sediment samples were collected using a Van Veen sediment sampling bucket, model 3-1775-A10, provided by Wildlife Supply Company/Science First – USA. The concentration of the elements (referred to here as 'HM parameters') was determined using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Model: ZEEnit 700, Manufacturer: Analytik-Jena – Germany), following the provided instructional manual and using the WinAAS software version supplied with the instrument. The detection limit of the method is approximately 0.2µg for the average of all the parameters measured. The geo-accumulation index (Igeo) was used to evaluate the accumulation level of each heavy metal in the sediments.
 
Results and discussion: Compared to the 2013 study, the results of the average heavy metal content (HM) conducted in December 2023 show that Zn, Cu, As, Pb, and Cd all tend to increase (especially As content). In a total of 40 samples, the heavy metal content of most indicators did not exceed Vietnamese standards. However, compared to some countries in the world, sediment quality standards have been exceeded (especially the United States and the Russian Federation). Moreover, compared to the downstream of rivers flowing through other key urban and industrial areas in Vietnam, the concentration of heavy metals in the study area is almost always higher.
 
Implications of the research: In addition, the concentration of heavy metals in general increases from upstream to downstream, and the concentration in tributaries is also relatively high. This suggests that in addition to the upstream sources, the daily life and production activities of people in the region also contribute to increasing the concentration of heavy metals, thereby posing a risk of entering the ecosystem and affecting the sustainable development of the lower Mekong River region.
 
Originality/value: This provides a scientific basis for making informed decisions in daily life and production activities to ensure sustainable development under the conditions of climate change.

The study examined the influence of CEO characteristics, including educational background and gender, on accounting conservatism. The study used a quantitative approach. The population was in the banking sector from 2020 to 2022. The study selected 40 companies through purposive sampling, resulting in 120 observations data. The research collected data from audited financial and annual reports, available on www.idx.co.id. The data were analysed using path analysis facilitated by Smart PLS. The findings indicate that the CEO's educational background and gender do not influence accounting conservatism. CEOs with educational backgrounds in accounting and related fields negatively influence technology and information investment, as do female CEOs. Technology and information investment influence accounting conservatism. Interestingly, technology and information investment mediate between female CEOs and accounting conservatism, while educational background does not. Decision-makers in the banking sector can leverage these findings to design strategic decisions.
Auditor's Proficiency North Sumatera: Unveiling Fraud With Skepticism
Authors: Zulia Hanum
Published: May 2024

Numerous instances of Fraud frequently arise within various companies, often stemming from lapses in the professional ethics of auditors. This research explores fraudulent activities by examining the impact of auditor experience, capabilities, and professional scepticism. The chosen research focus is Public Accounting Firms in North Sumatra, specifically Medan. Employing descriptive statistical analysis with quantitative data, the research utilises the saturated sampling method with a sample of 199 respondents from a population of 25 Public Accounting Firms. Hypothesis testing results reveal a significant correlation between Auditor Experience, Auditor Capability, and Professional Skepticism in detecting Fraud. The findings also indicate that Professional Skepticism significantly influences Auditor Capability in fraud detection. Moreover, the testing results suggest that the relationship between Auditor Experience and Auditor Capability is mediated by Professional Skepticism as an intervening variable, shedding light on the complex dynamics influencing fraudulent behaviour within the auditing profession.
