Simulasi Kemampuan Koneksi Kesalah Kode Kuasi Siklik Diperumum-LDPC Pada Channel Biner Simetris
Authors: Sukriadi Muhammad
Published: August 2024

Low Density Parity Check code or abbreviated as LDPC is a linear error correcting that is used to maintain the integrity of the data. This code is known to have error-correcting capabilities that are close to the maximum theoretical error-correction limit. LDPC code can be made efficient by hybridizing with generalized quasi-cyclic code. Quasi-cyclic codes are generalizations of cyclic codes. The error correction capability of this generalized quasi-cyclic code-LDPC is closely related to the decoding algorithm chosen for the LDPC code. The algorithm used in this research is the Log-Likelihood Ratio Sum-Product Algorithm or abbreviated as LLR-SPA. In this research, simulation of quasi-cyclic code error correction capability in general-LDPC is given on a symmetric binary channel. The main objective of this research is the maximum number of errors that can be corrected by a generalized quasi-cyclic code-LDPC on a symmetric binary channel. Based on the simulation, the main result is that the greater the number of errors added, the smaller the possibility of the message being received in its entirety.

Published: August 2024

Sharing materials related to publications has potential benefits for both research and practice in special education and related fields. For research, sharing materials such as researcher-created outcome measures and interview protocols increases the transparency of research reports, facilitates replication, enables other researchers to use and adapt the materials efficiently, and ensures that materials are maintained. For practice, sharing research-validated materials such as intervention protocols and fidelity checklists can help reduce the research-to-practice gap by providing practitioners the materials needed to implement research-based practices. In this paper, we discuss the benefits of sharing materials, describe challenges to and provide recommendations for sharing materials, and share our personal experiences and perspectives related to sharing materials.
An Egyptian Ethicist
Authors: Abdelgawwad Ossama
Published: August 2024

The sources shaping a moral theory range from “reason” to “societal command” to “religious texts.” The prominence and relationship between these sources is contingent upon the ethicists’ approaches and inquiries. Although Kant’s proposition of “pure reason” as a source of moral obligation marks a significant turning point in the field of ethics, scholars like Søren Aabye Kierkegaard argue for a divine command law of ethics, where religious texts become an inevitable source complementing individual ethical choices. This essay explores the intersection of religious texts and reasoning—the fusion between heteronomy and autonomy as sources of morality. It analyzes Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh Drāz’s “Moral Obligation” as a categorical imperative within moral theories and his incorporation of Western scholars such as Immanuel Kant and Henri Bergson into his work, among others. The discussion features a significant episode of Muslim intellectual engagement with Western scholarship and its impact on understanding morality in the Qurʾān. The study shows that Drāz’s La Morale du Koran adapts certain Western ethical theories and reinterprets specific Qurʾanic passages, creating a new synthesis: an integration of knowledge.
Response to Zainab Bint Younus’ Review of "Women and Gender in the Qur’an"
Authors: Ibrahim Celene
Published: August 2024

I thank AJIS for recently reviewing my monograph Women and Gender in the Qur’an (Oxford University Press, 2020) and thank Zainab Bint Younus of MuslimMatters.org for taking the time to review the work. I must, however, take issue with the reviewer’s line of critique.As an academic exercise, Women and Gender in the Qur’an offers a reading of the scripture that investigates intra-textual coherence through philological and structural methods. To miss this point is to miss the theoretical foundation of the project. The book does not purport to analyze hadith corpuses or the tafsīr tradition writ large, and I do not attempt to systematically analyze other early Muslim representations of female figures. In constructing a book-length work, a scholar must discern how to narrow the source material to an appropriate scope. In seeing that no previous scholar had produced an intra-textual reading that examines all Qur’anic verses involving female figures, this is where I contributed. The justifications for my scope and methodological focus are included in the book but are unfortunately not presented clearly in the review.

Educación Prenatal Natural. Educando en valores desde una visión educativa alternativa para la Paz y la Vida
Authors: Carballo Basadre Carmen
Published: August 2024

Hoy en día necesitamos encontrar respuestas urgentes que nos ayuden a salir de la situación de crisis multidimensional en la que se halla sumida la humanidad en este mundo globalizado. Necesitamos recuperar los valores éticos-morales que hemos dejado olvidados en el camino del desarrollo científico y tecnológico. Un elemento clave para conseguirlo podría ser poniendo la atención y el foco en la educación, pero desde una nueva orientación, que conlleve una profunda reflexión sobre los actuales sistemas educativos, que, hasta ahora, se están mostrando incapaces de darnos una respuesta que permitan mejorar la situación. Se necesita un cambio, el cual ha de nacer desde una nueva base, desde una nueva visión alternativa, que revolucione la idea tradicional de la educación y nos lleve a plantearnos cuándo podemos comenzar a educar a fin de sustentar la sociedad en unos sólidos y estables valores ético-morales, Frente a esta inquietud y según nos demuestran las investigaciones y descubrimientos científicos de los últimos 50 años, ha de suceder desde la etapa prenatal, es decir, antes del nacimiento, porque es en ella donde nos dicen que se sientan las bases de nuestra futura salud física y psíquica. Esta educación prenatal, capaz de educar a los seres humanos desde el inicio de la vida y basada en el amor y el respeto, podría ser el nuevo camino para recuperar la verdadera dimensión y grandeza de la vida humana, y desde la misma buscar un nuevo sentido al concepto “Vida” que sirva para conducirnos a una “Paz” real, estable y duradera. Tal educación se sustenta en tres pilares fundamentales a saber: 1) Preparación de los padres antes de concebir física, psíquica y espiritual, porque, si queremos educar en valores, ¿necesitaremos poseer nosotros primero lo que queremos transmitir? 2) Concepción consciente, ¿será importante el estado en el que se encuentren los padres en el momento de concebir y cómo se realice? 3) La gestación consciente, positiva y creativa sostenida por el padre y todo el entorno, con el objetivo de que la madre pueda ofrecer al ser que lleva en su seno las mejores condiciones de formación y desarrollo desde el inicio de la vida para que pueda ser en el futuro una persona sana, equilibrada y feliz.

In Indonesia, visits to elderly posyandu (integrated health service posts) are generally below target, particularly in Siak Regency, Riau Province, where elderly health services have been declining annually, especially at Tualang Health Center. This study aims to understand elderly behavior in utilizing health services through knowledge, attitudes, actions, and health center efforts. This qualitative study employs a phenomenological design and was conducted in the working area of Tualang Health Center, Siak Regency, from March to May 2024. The total number of informants is 24, consisting of 9 main informants—3 active elderly (AE) who visit posyandu monthly, 3 inactive elderly (IE) who missed posyandu visits three times a year, and 3 non-attending elderly (NE) who never visit posyandu. Additionally, there are 15 supporting informants, including family members, the head of the health center, elderly program managers, midwives, and 3 cadres. Data processing utilized data triangulation and thematic analysis. The study found that AE and IE have better knowledge compared to NE due to their participation in posyandu activities. All elderly informants had a positive attitude towards the quality of health services at posyandu. AE tend to visit posyandu regularly due to easy access, transportation, and family support, while IE and NE are less active due to distant access, limited transportation, and lack of family support. It is recommended that the health center empower elderly families to increase elderly participation in utilizing health services.

Published: August 2024

The recreational use of nitrous oxide is a growing practice among young people. Nitrous oxide cartridges are easy to access and low cost. Generally inhaled, from steel bombs or balloons, Nitrous Oxide is today the 7th most popular drug in the world for its euphoric effects. We will present through a case report where psychiatric symptoms are significant, an overview of psychiatric complications, but also neurological and general of the recreational use of Nitrous Oxide. Indeed, this use, even recreational, can produce a series of neurological, psychiatric, hematological and respiratory symptoms. Its pathogenic mechanism remains largely unknown; there is no specific treatment apart from vitamin B12 supplementation. Therapeutic approaches are therefore based on motivational interviews and psychotherapies. Prevention campaigns among young people therefore seem necessary because they underestimate the dangers.

These are factors that are yet to be assessed in Geriatric HIV population. Little data is available on very older adults infected with HIV. We report two clinical cases of HIV-infected patients newly diagnosed at 75 years and above.

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) refers to a direct connection between an artery and vein without capillary involvement, predominantly occurring within the intracranial region. However, occurrences of extracranial AVMs, particularly in the external ear, are relatively rare. Recently, we encountered a case involving an AVM in the external ear. An 18-year-old female patient presented with pulsatile persisting for the past 48 months, along with a reddish, pulsatile mass on the left external ear. We successfully managed the AVM by completely excising it and covered it by a thick skin graft following preoperative selective embolization.

Introduction: Sexuality is the set of behaviors relating to the satisfaction of the sexual instinct. It involves the personality as a whole in adolescence. According to the 2018 demographic and health survey in Mali, it appears that 36% of adolescents have started their reproductive life; 8% had their first sexual intercourse at 15 years old. In this work, we studied adolescent sexuality in five health zones in Mali in 2022. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional, analytical survey whose survey was conducted between March and April 2022 in five health zones in Mali and targeted single adolescents aged 15 to 19. The sampling was probabilistic. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered in an individual interview. Results: In total, 1287 adolescents were interviewed, 51.7% of whom were boys. The average age was 16.86 years for girls and 17.55 years for boys. They had secondary education in 31% of boys and 28% of girls. The average age of first sexual intercourse was 16 years for both girls and boys. In 10% of respondents had had early sexual intercourse between 10 and 14 years old. 80% of respondents had at least one sexual intercourse in the last 6 months, among which non-use of condoms was 70% among girls and 46% among boys. Conclusion: Sexual practice among unmarried adolescents was common. Precautions against the risks of sexual intercourse were weak. Sex education is necessary in order to provide adolescents with a set of measures aimed at protecting sexual practices.

Projects conducted by the Northern Territory Geological Survey over the last several years have been aimed at improved understanding of the stratigraphy, structure and architecture of the Northern Territory portion of the Amadeus Basin. Of particular note are new insights into the Neoproterozoic stratigraphy and regional-scale structural geology of the basin. Stratigraphic nomenclature has recently been revised by the Northern Territory Geological Survey for Tonian, Cryogenian and Ediacaran strata of the Northern Territory portion of the basin. Additionally, a regional-scale structural and interpreted geology study of the western part of the Northern Territory Amadeus Basin has been completed. Additional stratigraphic and structural studies are planned for the eastern part of the basin. Results from these projects are relevant for evaluation of future Amadeus Basin activities including petroleum exploration, helium and hydrogen exploration, and CO2 sequestration.
New geomechanical and petrophysical data from NDI Carrara 1; implications for Carrara Sub-basin unconventional prospectivity

NDI Carrara 1 is the first stratigraphic test of the Carrara Sub-basin, a newly discovered depocentre in the South Nicholson region that was identified on newly acquired seismic surveys undertaken as part of the Exploring for the Future program. NDI Carrara 1 intersected a thick sequence of Proterozoic aged siliciclastic and carbonate rocks, which host several units of interest to hydrocarbon explorers due to affinities with the known Proterozoic shale gas plays of the Beetaloo Sub-basin and the Lawn Hill Platform. These include two organic-rich black shale sequences and a thick section of interbedded black shales and silty-sandstones where numerous hydrocarbon shows are present.
An Improved Depositional Model for the Organic Rich Shales of the Amungee Member of the Velkerri Formation in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, Northern Territory, Australia
Authors: Close David , Wilson Andrew
Published: August 2024

The geology of the Beetaloo Sub-basin, a component part of the thick and geographically extensive greater McArthur Basin, remains relatively poorly described due to limited outcrop, seismic data and well penetrations. Since around 2010, however, there have been approximately 3000 km of 2D seismic data acquired and around 12 wells drilled, targeting the organic-rich shales of the Amungee Member of the Velkerri Formation. These have provided an improved understanding of the geological history of the Beetaloo Sub-basin and of the geology of the Velkerri Formation in particular.
Anesthetic Management for Caesarean Section and Craniotomy at the Same Session in Pregnant Patient with Spontaneous Cerebellar Hematomas
Authors: Zhong Jie , Liao Ren
Published: August 2024

The incidence of spontaneous cerebellar hematomas (SCHs) during late pregnancy is increasing, though still rare. Managing parturients with SCHs poses significant challenges due to the need to balance maternal safety with neonatal considerations, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. This report presents two cases where general anesthesia was used for concurrent Caesarean section and craniotomy. Both patients, at 36 weeks’ gestation, presented with severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, and gait ataxia. MRI scans revealed cerebellar hematomas, necessitating surgical intervention. Both surgeries were successful with stable maternal vital signs and healthy neonates delivered with high APGAR scores. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and both patients were discharged without neurological deficits. The report emphasizes the importance of rapid induction and recovery, maintaining hemodynamic stability, and ensuring sufficient cerebral perfusion while avoiding fetal depression during such complex procedures.

On/Unstained White dress(es)
Authors: Perkins Anna Kasafi
Published: August 2024

There is a white dress – baptismal, communion or confirmation – that appears in select poems of three Caribbean women poets, Jennifer Rahim (Trinidad), M. NourbeSe Philip (Trinidad/Canada) and Barbara Ferland (Jamaica). The dress is intended to be worn by Afro-Caribbean girls in a church, sacred, or sacramental context and speak to matters of purity in the female/girl child who is so clad. At the same time, the dress - spotless or yellowed - exposes the impurity, danger, and impiety of the Afro-Caribbean female body that is laid bare in the sacramental and sacred space of Church. This article will explore the experience of “sacred misogynoir” as expressed in Rahim, Philip, and Ferland via the symbolism of the (unstained) white dress. Drawing on the work of C. M. Webster, which unveils how Christian practices exiled Afro-Caribbean women from human and feminine value systems, I draw attention to how these women counter such disvaluing with bodily practices that promoted, (re)valued, and affirmed their body-selves, especially in sacred spaces. Webster’s research, in conversation with these poets, illustrates the need for a reframing and revaluing of the Afro-Caribbean female body in sacred spaces such that white dresses no longer function to oppress and devalue.
