Published: April 2023

Decision Support Systems (DSS) are systems that assist decision-makers and aim to synthesize domain and technical knowledge and package it so non-scientists can use and comprehend it. This study aims to compile initial empirical studies that can objectively reject or confirm the central hypothesis. The materials were retrieved after applying the filtered query across all sources. All search engine providers use five query strings. In each example, five findings were collected, sorted, and compared to one another, and 152 papers were generated. Seventy-six documents were discovered after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Each of the 70 papers was independently examined and analyzed. The method of study followed a specific procedure explicitly developed to minimize the risk of researcher bias. It is primarily concerned with whether fisheries have decision-making systems and what empirical outcomes these systems produce, particularly in real-time analysis. The result shows a dearth of research on intelligent DSS, which accounts for less than 3% of all DSS types discussed in the article. This study offers academics and professionals an overview of the implementation of DSS. These new contributions imply the form of several different new contributions to further research. Furthermore, the possibility of identifying research gaps increases once merged with geoinformation technology or spatial information. We introduced a new model that combines spatial logistics techniques with GIS-based tracing and tracking. The envisioned logistics ensure spatial and logistical traceability in the process of fish products.

Barracuda fish (Sphyraena sp.) bone and fins could be a source of aquatic collagen. Marine collagen has recently gained popularity due to its lack of infectious infections. This collagen extraction yields 1.99 % acetic acid-soluble collagen (AAC), 2.36 % lactic acid-soluble collagen (LAC), and 3.26 % citric acid-soluble collagen (CAC). AAC has a high L* value compared to LAC and CAC, indicating great brightness in color. For hydroxyproline content, the amount of collagen was 82.70, 81.31, and 80.93 for AAC, LAC, and CAC. AAC and LAC have maximum collagen solubility at pH 3, and CAC at pH 5. The effects of collagen solubility on NaCl concentrations drop substantially at 30 g/L for all collagen samples. All extracted collagen structures are type I collagen consisting of two chains (Î±1 and Î±2) based on SDS-PAGE analysis and possessing a complete triple helical structure based on UV absorption (229.5 nm) and Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectrometry (ATR-FTIR) showed all collagen samples had amide A, B, amide I, II, and III peaks. All collagens demonstrate strong heat resistance and structural stability as Tmax is above 30Â°C. LAC demonstrated higher absorption of water (0.50 0.01Â±mL/mg) and oil (0.70Â±0.07 mL/mg) than AAC and CAC. At pH 7, CAC and AAC reduced foam and foam case capacity. In emulsion properties, only AAC does not demonstrate important emulsion stability. AAC showed superior collagen than LAC and CAC based on physicochemical and functional qualities. Therefore, all collagen samples can be employed as replacements for terrestrial collagen in diverse applications.

Food can fulfill both functional needs that are beneficial for health and nutritional requirements. Using mocaf (modified cassava flour) has been studied to produce food-processed products with good sensory characteristics, such as dry noodles. Latoh, which is rich in phenolic content and antioxidant activity, can further enhance the functional properties of noodles in addition to serving as a binder. Additionally, the addition of sago starch can improve the texture of the noodles and serve as a source of dietary fiber. This study aimed to study the nutritional value and functional properties of mocaf noodles by adding sago starch and latoh. There were six formula with varying percentages of mocaf flour, including sago with a ratio of 60%:10% (M1), 50%:20% (M2), 40%:30% (M3), 30%:40% (M4), 20%:40% (M5), and 10%:60% (M6), each formula containing 2% latoh flour. The result showed that mocaf noodle contained ash content about 1.32-1,32%, protein content 3.9-4.37%, fat content 0.41-0.67%, carbohydrate content 82.39-83.43% and total calories 339-343 kcal/100g noodles. Formula M3 had higher antioxidant activity (6.6%) and total dietary fiber content (11,54%) compared to other samples. The resistant starch content of noodles ranged from 8.7-12.64% with starch digestibility ranging from 27.27-61.05%. In conclusion, incorporating 30% sago starch, 40% mocaf, and 2% latoh flour in a formula has been found to increase dietary fiber and decrease starch digestibility. This suggests that the formula has the potential to be developed as a functional food.

Published: April 2023

The bio-inspired robot is such a topic that has received growing attention. The ornithopter micro aerial vehicle (MAV) is one of the challenging topics belonging to bio-inspired robots. This topic combines the research disciplines of Biology, robotics, and aeronautics. Energy efficiency is one of the advantages offered by a flapping robot. To reduce the power consumption, such a flapping robot can glide to perform locomotion. We investigated and developed a flapping robot with tail control to maintain robot attitude during performing locomotion/flight, especially gliding. The proposed tail structure mimics an airplane elevator. Lightweight materials and design are considered in this study. The system is designed to allow the robot to have wireless long-range control. The robot can be controlled from a base station wirelessly via Wi-Fi connection. This study presents a comparison between a small wing with good stiffness and a large wing with less stiffness. The small wing with good stiffness is better and it could generate thrust 1.56 times higher than the large wing. Leading and trailing edges bending of a large wing during flapping can be a possibility source of induced drag. Gliding performance was also evaluated. Robot could glide up to 8 meters in 2 seconds at 0.9 meters altitude. The developed robot demonstrated an aggressive flight that reached close to 5 m/s. The developed tail mechanism and controller were confirmed that it helps the robot to perform maintaining its attitude and recovering from a stall within a few milliseconds.

Recent research on the effect of climate variables on coronavirus (COVID-19) transmission has emerged. Climate change has the potential to cause new viral outbreaks, illness, and death. This study contributes to COVID-19 disease prevention efforts. This study makes two contributions: (1) we investigated the impact of climate variables on the number of COVID-19 cases in 34 Indonesian provinces; and (2) we developed a transformer-based deep learning model for time series forecasting for the number of positive COVID-19 cases the following day based on climate variables in 34 Indonesian provinces. We obtained data from March 15, 2020 to July 22, 2021 on the number of positive COVID-19 cases and climate change variables (wind, temperature, humidity) in Indonesia. To examine the effect of climate change on the number of positive COVID-19 cases, we employed 15 scenarios for training. The experiment results of the proposed model show that the combination of wind speed and humidity has a weakly positive correlation with positive COVID-19 incidence. However, temperature has a considerably negative association with positive COVID-19 incidences. Compared to the other testing scenarios, the transformer-based deep learning model produced the lowest MAE of 175.96 and the lowest RMSE of 375.81. This study demonstrates that the transformer model works well in several provinces, such as Sumatra, Java, Papua, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, East Kalimantan, and Sulawesi, but not in Central Kalimantan, West Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, and North Sulawesi.

Published: April 2023

To overcome the long-term impact of stroke attacks on society, stroke rehabilitation is the only solution WHO and many healthcare organizations suggested. Until recently, stroke rehabilitation monitoring has been done using visual observation, which has several drawbacks. EEG is a new approach to understanding how the central nervous system controls motion. This study compares the motion pattern done by a group of 12 healthy subjects and nine stroke patients during the rehabilitation motion tasks using the OpenBCI system. Time-frequency domain features, namely PSD, MAV, and STD are used to explore how the patterns differ. Three rehabilitation motions are implemented: grasping, elbow flexion extension, and shoulder flexion-extension. The result shows that the healthy cross-brain correlation happens in healthy subjects. This means that when the left-side arm does the motion, the EEG feature values from the right hemisphere are higher, and vice versa. However, this healthy cross-brain correlation pattern did not happen within the stroke patient group. The overall value of PSD, MAV, and STD from both hemispheres during all motions is higher in the healthy group than in stroke patients. The type of motion also contributes to describing the time-frequency domain feature comparison. In conclusion, this gap value using time-frequency domain features can be used as a target for stroke rehabilitation programs by implementing the EEG technology to monitor it.

Understanding the environmental services provided by healthy forest ecosystems needs accurate soil quality (SQ) assessments. Selecting appropriate SQ indicators is one of the keys to the effectiveness of SQ assessment. Earthworms have the potential to be bioindicators of soil quality because they are sensitive to environmental changes. This study aims to assess the soil quality level and evaluate the potential of earthworms as bioindicators in six land covers at the Alas Bromo Education Forest of Universitas Sebelas Maret, namely: pine, pine-mahogany, mahogany, mixed, annual crops, and pine replanting. SQ assessment is measured by calculating the Soil Quality Index (SQI) using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with 10 Minimum Data Sets (MDS), namely: bulk density, earthworm abundance, C-organic, N-total, pH, porosity, exchangeable Al, cation exchange capacity (CEC), base saturation (BS), and available K. Statistical analysis using ANOVA, Duncanâ€™s Multiple Range Test, correlation, and regression. The results showed that land cover significantly (p-value < 0.01) affected SQI. The SQI for all land cover categories is poor, with the highest value on mixed land cover (0.36) and the lowest on pine-mahogany (0.31). The land cover also significantly (p-value < 0.01) affected earthworm abundance, with the highest on mixed land cover (365 individuals/m2) and the lowest on pine replanting (25 individuals/m2). Earthworm density as a determining indicator significantly correlated with SQI (r = 0.495) and contributed 24.5% to the SQI. Future research needs to test the effectiveness of earthworms as a bioindicator of soil quality in other land uses in different areas.

Published: April 2023

The presence of network technology eliminates regional boundaries that become obstacles in communicating and exchanging data and information to the public. The wider the zone of a network, the network infrastructure will increase in size. The bigger the network infrastructure, the higher the level of management complexity. The Software Defined Network (SDN) concept is a new network concept that provides a solution for managing large infrastructure networks and has a wide service zone. SDN architecture is different from traditional networks. The SDN architecture is divided into three: the data plane, control plane, and application plane. Whereas in the traditional network architecture, the three are combined into one. Besides, in maintaining network security. SDN offers a security system, namely the OpenFlow Protocol. The OpenFlow Protocol security system works to regulate the packet traffic that passes. Forwards registered packet data traffic and performs down the action for unknown packet traffic. The weakness is that the OpenFlow Protocol must always be updated with SDN network packet traffic, and the system cannot detect the threat of attacks on encryption traffic. Nowadays, the frequency of attacks on network traffic is relatively high. The attack techniques used also evolved. The techniques used are also evolving. Botnets have been able to use several encryption protocols such as TLS / HTTPS, Tor, and P2P as loopholes to attack a network. SDN's presence as a management solution for large infrastructure networks is not directly proportional to its security system that undoubtedly have a bad impact on SDN network users. Therefore, this study aims to develop an SDN Network Intrusion Detection System (IDS) model to detect botnets in encryption traffic. The model was developed using the Deep Neural Network (DNN) approach. The SDN network botnet detection model developed can detect encryption traffic botnets with an accuracy rate of 94.78%, 93.28% precision, and a recall of 99.11%.

Published: April 2023

Today, there are three generations in the labour market, Generation X, Generation Y and Generation Z. These generations differ in their characteristics and values, both in their personal and professional lives. Successful recruitment requires an understanding of the characteristics of those generations in the workplace, taking into account the employment factors that influence their employment decisions and the factors that matter to the generations in the workplace and affect their job satisfaction and job tenure. This paper presents the results of a survey that examined the employment factors of Generations X, Y and Z, the characteristics of Generations X, Y and Z in the workplace, and the characteristics of Generations X, Y and Z. The results show that there are no significant differences between Generation X and Generation Y, while on the other hand the younger Generation Z differs from them in some factors and attaches significantly more or less importance to them. Hypothesis testing revealed that the financial situation of the employer is more important to Generation X than to Generation Y, as are relationships with colleagues, and that Generation X is more resourceful at work than Generation Z.

One of the key components of quality medical services is competent management and leaders in healthcare. Unfortunately, most managers do not have professional knowledge and skills in their positions, as they come to healthcare management through clinical experience. Since the course of management is not included in the training program for medical specialists. The purpose of the work is to identify the key competencies of a successful leader and possible methods of training. The Web of Science, CHINAL, PubMed, Sage databases were searched to identify peer-reviewed papers relating to health care manager and leader competencies and teaching methods. Most managers in health care have a medical education and they lack of management skills and competencies. So they must be specially trained in the management of health and social organizations in order to know and understand the many processes occurring in health care and the impact of these processes on the quality of medical care. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to provide training in the management of clinical specialists or to include a management program for medical graduates.

Cuajinicuil (Inga spuria) and soursop (Annona muricata) fruit trees presented leaf spots that reached a severity of 50% in June 2019. The present study was established with the aim of identifying through ITS the fungi of the foliage of both trees. For this purpose, 10 orchards per fruit tree were selected in Peña Negra, Santa Lucía Monteverde, Oaxaca, Mexico, where five symptomatic leaves per orchard were collected. Fungi isolated from cuajinicuil presented ovoid, aseptate and hyaline conidia. The conidia isolated from soursop were subovoid to ellipsoidal, with rounded apices, hyaline and aseptate (immature), with a septum and brown in color (mature). Koch’s postulates were carried out on healthy leaves of both fruit trees, in 10 moist chambers per each. Once their pathogenicity was demonstrated, isolates were identified. In cuajinicuil Diaporthe sp. (NCBI: MW418007) and in soursop to Lasiodiplodia sp. (NCBI: MW418003) were identified. These species are reported for the first time in the fruit trees of this community. These findings represent a scientific contribution for the benefit of small agricultural communities in Mexico.

Published: April 2023

Aim: Given the encouraging results of the p53-Mdm2 inhibitor RG7388 in clinical trials and the vital function of miR-16-5p in suppressing cell proliferation, the aim of the present study was to investigate the combined impact of RG7388 and miR-16-5p overexpression on the childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (chALL). Methods: miRTarBase and miRDB, along with KEGG and STRING databases, were used to predict miR-16-5p target genes and explore protein-protein interaction networks, respectively. B- and T-lymphoblastic cell lines, in addition to patient primary cells, were treated with RG7388. Ectopic overexpression of miR-16-5p in Nalm6 cell line was induced through cell electroporation and transfection of microRNA mimics was confirmed by qRT-PCR. Cell viability was evaluated using the MTT assay. Western blot analyses were performed to evaluate the effects of RG7388 and miR-16-5p upregulation on the protein levels of p53 and its downstream target genes in chALL cells. Paired sample t-test was employed for statistical analyses. Results: MTT assay showed RG7388-induced cytotoxicity in wild-type p53 Nalm6 cell line and p53 functional patient primary cells. However, CCRF-CEM and p53 non-functional leukemic cells indicated drug resistance. Western blot analyses validated the bioinformatics results, confirming the downregulation of WIP1, p53 stabilization, as well as overexpression of p21WAF1 and Mdm2 proteins in Nalm6 cells transfected with miR-16-5p. Moreover, enhanced sensitivity to RG7388 was observed in the transfected cells. Conclusion: This is the first study indicating the mechanistic importance of miR-16-5p overexpression in chALL and its inhibitory role in leukemia treatment when combined with the p53-Mdm2 antagonist, RG7388. These findings might be useful for researchers and clinicians to pave the way for better management of chALL.
A RELEVÂNCIA DO SILÊNCIO NO MAGISTÉRIO DE FRANCISCO
Authors: Carrara Paulo Sergio
Published: April 2023

O presente artigo, a partir de uma metodologia sintético-hermenêutica, tem como objeto de estudo a relevância do silêncio no magistério do Papa Francisco. Aprofunda a importância do silêncio para o ser humano pós-moderno e para o cristão. Inicia oferecendo alguns elementos da relação entre espiritualidade e pastoral no magistério de Francisco, apresentando os dois inimigos atuais da vida espiritual e da evangelização: o neo-gnosticismo e o neo-pelagianismo, heresias dos primeiros séculos do cristianismo, mas sutilmente presentes na vida da Igreja, segundo Francisco. Em seguida, aborda a pertinência da oração e do silêncio em vista da assimilação pessoal do mistério de Cristo. Enfatiza, ainda, a partir do magistério de Francisco, a urgência da redescoberta do silêncio numa sociedade do barulho que adoece as pessoas, afastando-as de sua própria interioridade e da transcendência. Explica, por fim, o lugar do silêncio na experiência cristã de Deus, relacionando-a com a missão evangelizadora da Igreja em saída. Como conclusão, o artigo apresenta o silêncio como antídoto para o neo-gnosticismo e o neo-pelagianismo.

TEMPO DE CANTAR: A NECESSIDADE DE ULTRAPASSAR O SILÊNCIO
Authors: Salgado Gontijo Clovis
Published: April 2023

Ao reconhecerem a limitação da linguagem discursiva diante da experiência íntima com Deus, diversos místicos cristãos adotaram ou recomendaram o silêncio como resposta para tal experiência. Contudo, em seus Comentários aos Salmos, Santo Agostinho, embora endosse a reiterada desconfiança pelo logos, contraindica o silêncio. Diante do que não se pode falar nem se calar, a solução seria jubilar, aconselha o santo, remetendo-se a um gênero musical do período, o jubilus, canto de exultação sem palavras. Neste artigo, examinar-se-á essa curiosa prescrição, verificando, primeiramente, quais as limitações do silêncio como modo de expressão (seja em geral, seja da experiência mística) e, em segundo lugar, de que forma a música poderia se manifestar como resposta mais consentânea a uma experiência do transcendente. Para tanto, recorrer-se-á a textos não só de Santo Agostinho, mas de autores contemporâneos como Ludwig Wittgenstein, Vladimir Jankélévitch e Susanne Langer, sensíveis ao tema do inefável.
