In brief…
Authors: Jarrett Christian , Fradera Alex
Published: January 2023

It is encouraging to note psychology seems to attract the more empathic amongst us. Recent studies suggest career choice is influenced by personality, with psychology students being less likely to score high in trait narcissism than their law and business studies colleagues. Even in an era of ‘fake news’, honesty remains a trait we admire, but where do we draw the line on deception? Paltering is misleadingly presenting truthful information. Victims still call it lying, but what does your conscience say?
From Stress to Disease

STRESS IS OMNIPRESENT IN EVERYONE’S LIFE: TRAFFIC AT RUSH HOUR, PRE-EXAMS NERVOUSNESS, MARITAL CONFLICTS, OR, IN THE MOST SEVERE CASES, LOSS OF A DEAR ONE. BUT HOW MUCH OF THE STRESS WE EXPERIENCE IS ‘MOMENTARY’ AND HOW MUCH IS ‘THERE TO STAY’?
2 nd Prize A Prediction of the Impact Caused by Remote Learning on Student’s Appraisals of Fear Appeals
Authors: Waduge Neili Badulla
Published: January 2023

A PREDICTION OF THE IMPACT CAUSED BY REMOTE LEARNING ON STUDENT’S APPRAISALS OF FEAR APPEALSFEAR APPEALS USED IN ACADEMIC SETTINGS, PARTICULARLY WHERE IT CONCERNS ADOLESCENTS IN EDUCATION, ARE LESS FREQUENTLY DISCUSSED THAN THEIR USE IN HEALTHCARE. HOWEVER, THE LARGE PSYCHOSOCIAL CRISIS CREATED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, OR MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE RAPID TRANSITION TO A REMOTE ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, HAS MEANT THAT HOW STUDENTS APPROACH THEIR LEARNING HAS SHIFTED, AND THIS WARRANTS ATTENTION, SO THAT THESE STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO PROGRESS AS DESERVED, DESPITE THE LOSSES BROUGHT ON THEM BY THESE MAJOR EVENTS.

IN ESSENCE, A FEAR APPEAL, IN THIS CONTEXT, IS A MESSAGE GIVEN BY A TEACHER OR ACADEMIC INSTRUCTOR, THAT AIMS TO MOTIVATE STUDENTS BY WARNING THEM OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE. THIS IS DONE PARTICULARLY BEFORE A HIGH-STAKES EXAMINATION, SUCH AS THE GCSE, OR ADVANCED LEVEL.

THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE PRIOR RESEARCH INTO FACTORS DETERMINING HOW FEAR APPEALS ARE APPRAISED, INCLUDING SELF-EFFICACY, EXTRINSIC VERSUS INTRINSIC MOTIVATION AND PERCEIVED FREQUENCY OF FEAR APPEALS, AND THEN, BASED ON RESEARCH CONDUCTED ON STUDENTS DURING AND AFTER REMOTE ONLINE LEARNING DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, PREDICTS HOW THESE APPRAISALS WILL CHANGE – WHETHER STUDENTS WILL HAVE BECOME MORE OR LESS RESILIENT OR ADAPTED TO EXAM PRESSURES AFTER A MAJOR EVENT. EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS ARE DISCUSSED.

Effective integration of 360 degree feedback into the coaching process
Authors: McDowall Almuth , Kurz Rainer
Published: January 2023

This practical paper is based on a skills session as delivered at the British Psychological Society’s Special Group in Coaching Psychology Conference 2007 held in London. The first part of our paper provides a review of the extant research evidence on 360 degree feedback with focus on effects on individual development, making explicit links to the implications for coaching practice throughout. We conclude that 360 degree feedback is primarily effective when conceptualised and utilised as a finely grained means of instigating individual behaviour change and learning on job relevant attributes and facilitated by a skilled feedback giver. This provides a clear rationale for its use in coaching. We outline how an actual profile can be used as part of a coaching session, using the Saville Work Wave®Performance 360 as an example.

Understanding ethics in coaching psychology – the application of Socratic dialogue
Authors: Law Ho , Allan Julie
Published: January 2023

This article provides an introduction to using Socratic dialogue in coaching. It aims to help coaching psychologists understand how to demonstrate ethical practices. It first overviews what is meant by Socratic dialogue and then shows how the approach, which coaches may use as part of their practice, can also be a vehicle through which we can engage in debate about ethics as coaching psychologists. An invitation is issued to take part in a Socratic dialogue as a means to developing ethical practice.
Ethical navigation in coaching psychology – a Socratic workshop
Authors: Allan Julie , Law Ho
Published: January 2023

This article first gives a brief overview of the evolving professional context for coaching psychologists. It then provides an overview from a Socratic dialogue workshop at the SGCP 1st European Coaching Psychology Conference in December 2008. The workshop introduced participants to the basic features of Socratic dialogue and then worked within that frame during the session to discuss ethical dilemmas that they had faced. The approach allowed engagement with particular ethical challenges and enabled the learning to be shared. The Socratic dialogue also gave a frame for wider debate about ethics in coaching psychology.
From the inside out: Coaching’s role in transformation towards a sustainable society
Authors: Outhwaite Andrew , Bettridge Neela
Published: January 2023

This article explores the motivation, potential and practical means for using coaching to integrate sustainability into organisations. It is intended for two audiences: coaches, and organisations. For coaches, we explore how the challenge of social and ecological sustainability can be a compelling context and driver for their work. For organisations, we investigate coaching’s potential as a means to link personal and sustainable development for better business and societal outcomes. For the benefit of both audiences we introduce some conceptual frameworks and share some of the findings and implications of our recent research. We also use cases and analyses of coaching methods to illustrate what integration of coaching and sustainability looks like in practice. We link what the world (as a global ecological, economic and social system) needs to what individuals (in emotional, psychological, cultural and spiritual terms) need. We conclude with the suggestion that coaching is one of the most powerful means of meeting both these urgent and important needs.
What assessments do coaches use in their practice and why?
Authors: McDowall Almuth , Smewing Chris
Published: January 2023

This short research note commences with a review of the limited literature on psychometrics in coaching. It then presents results from a survey of over 100 UK and international coaches, and thus extends the findings presented as a poster at the first European Coaching Psychology Conference in December 2008. We note that psychometrics are of benefit to coach, coachee and the coaching process and highlight avenues for future research.
Developing a teaching agenda for coaching psychology in undergraduate programmes
Authors: Burns Lindsey , Gillon Ewan
Published: January 2023

The paper explores the rationale for, and potential benefits of, the inclusion of a coaching psychology module in an undergraduate psychology programme. In 2010 a coaching psychology module was introduced at Glasgow Caledonian University, as an optional module for final year psychology degree students. Although providing a strong academic component, the module was primarily skills-based and driven by the GROW model (Whitmore, 1992). Students spent two-thirds of the module in seminars/workshops where they carried out practical skills-based development and one-third in lectures. In order to evaluate the module written feedback was elicited from all students (N=20) using a semi-structured questionnaire. Feedback from the module was highly positive, with students demonstrating both academic and practical learning. Key findings indicate that the experience of being both coachee and coach in peer-to-peer coaching exercises enabled students to apply psychological principles and to make progress on personal goals. They also reported an improved awareness of the degree to which they could demonstrate key competencies related to employability via the acquisition of coaching psychology skills. The paper argues that this multiplicity of learning outcomes makes coaching psychology a highly valuable addition to any undergraduate psychology programme, with the potential to become a core aspect of the undergraduate psychology syllabus.
Problem-focused coaching in a mainstream primary school: Reflections on PRACTICE
Authors: Adams Mark
Published: January 2023

This article describes the successful application of the problem-solving processes outlined in Stephen Palmer’s PRACTICE framework to a real-life school-based organisational problem. The coach’s role and contribution to the process is identified at each stage. A problem-solving approach in general, and the PRACTICE model in particular, is shown to have utility at the organisational level, even where the coach is non-expert in the nature of the problem being worked on. A learning point to emerge from the piece of work illustrates and emphasises the importance of goal-setting in the problem-solving/solution-finding process. Further reflections and implications for practice are discussed.

Worlds made flesh: Why we don’t talk much about childbearing or possession in transpersonal theory
Authors: Lahood Gregg
Published: January 2023

In this article the author asks the question: ‘Why don’t we talk much about childbearing or spirit-possession in transpersonal theory?’ The answer lies, he suggests, in a complex research legacy and in the way Western research epochs have sponsored, different interests. The author explores some of the ways in which 19th century anthropologists, Western medicine, early psychoanalysis, 1970s feminists, among others, have looked, or not looked, at the transpersonal events in childbirth and the transpersonal systems of healing that often support women in childbearing, e.g. spirit-possession.
Cracks in the machine: Two tales of anxiety
Authors: Connor Hester O , Marsh Robert
Published: January 2023

Through two narrative accounts, we explore the experience of anxiety at work. ‘Anxiety’ heore is defined not in terms of neurotic or diagnosable anxiety disorders but rather as an ontological anxiety which, at work, can be felt to be the result of maintaining a professional identity that carries with it the expectation to be knowledgeable and competent. We discuss the experience of anxiety in the narratives through three theoretical lenses: an individual psychoanalytic perspective, a complex responsive processes perspective, and a Buddhist perspective. We suggest that these models offer ways of thinking about how we construct our sense of self that help us understand this experience.
Transpersonal therapy, the transpersonal encounter, and deep empathy
Authors: McAleer Eileen
Published: January 2023

This article examines the historical and theoretical foundations of transpersonal therapy, emphasising the distinction between an ascending versus participatory approach to understanding transpersonal phenomena and the therapeutic process. Features of the transpersonal therapeutic relationship are identified and the nature of a transpersonal approach is discussed. Attention is drawn to the significance of the therapist’s beliefs, attitudes and qualities as these are expressed in the therapeutic encounter. In particular, the nature of presence is explored, together with ways in which this may be enhanced through preparations for therapy. It is argued that participation with the transpersonal in therapy often occurs through the experience of deep empathy with the client, and that such participation has healing and transformational consequences. Finally, some implications for training are considered.
Participation, metaphysics, and enlightenment: Reflections on Ken Wilber’s recent work
Authors: Ferrer Jorge N.
Published: January 2023

In memory of David Fontana (1934-2010), pioneer of British transpersonalism

This paper discusses a number of key issues raised in the recent dialogue on the work of Ken Wilber between John Rowan and Michael Daniels, mediated by David Fontana and chaired by Malcolm Walley (Rowan et al., 2009). First, it responds to Rowan’s defence of Wilber’s work in the wake, of the paclicipalory critique. Second, it addresses the question of the cultural versus universal nature of Wilber’s Kosmic habits in dialogue with Daniels’ contribution. Third, it offers a critique of Wilber’s integral post-metaphysics and contrasts this with participatory spirituality. Fourth, it discusses the nature of enlightenment, as well as meditation, integral practice, and spiritual individuation. The paper concludes with some concrete directions in which to move the dialogue forward.
The transpersonal gardener: How gardening cultivates transpersonal experiences and sensibilities
Authors: Whomsley Stuart
Published: January 2023

This paper considers the effects of gardening on mind and body, together with the perennial messages of gardening. A comparison, will be made between ‘regular gardening’ and ‘transpersonal gardening’: of how, for example, the transpersonal gardener asks the garden where they should go together rather than telling it what to do. There will also be a comparison between gardening in a process orientated transpersonal way and creating gardens to represent and encourage transpersonal experiences. It is hoped that this paper will provide the reader with ideas to enhance their gardening experiences in transpersonal ways and the researcher will be given some potential areas for study.
Searching for afrocentric spirituality within the transpersonal
Authors: Turner Dwight , Callaghan Jane , Gordon-Finlayson Alasdair
Published: January 2023

The aim of this paper is to show, via the lens of a culturally specific dream, how the transpersonal could benefit from broadening its approach to spirituality to include the wisdom of African spiritual beliefs. Considering some of the reasons for its lack of prominence, together with an exploration of some of the richness held within African spirituality, this paper suggests that a more Cosmopolitan approach to the Transpersonal is needed to avoid the creation of a spiritual Other. [This paper was based on the presentation at the 18th Annual Transpersonal Psychology Section Conference on 10–12 October 2015, The University of Northampton.]
Psychedelics and the Spiritual Path – critical voices and considerations
Authors: Cohen Elliot
Published: January 2023

This paper was originally presented at the British Psychological Society’s Transpersonal Psychology Section’s 19th annual conference – ‘Psychedelics, Psychology and Spirituality’. It was my intention, in the best spirit of academic debate and inquiry, to offer some critical perspectives and considerations related to the use of psychedelics in relation to the origins and development of Transpersonal Psychology. To this end I reflected on the work and lives of some influential counter-culture figures including Albert Hofmann, Abraham Maslow, Ram Dass and others – each of whom raised particular concerns and doubts in relation to the potential risks associated with psychedelics, which I will argue still resonate today. Where appropriate I have also included some of the varied positions one might encounter in relation to spiritual traditions and psychedelics (specifically Buddhism, Judaism, Daoism and Hinduism).
The contribution of Western Esotericism to transpersonal psychology
Authors: Rush Mike
Published: January 2023

In this article I argue that Transpersonal Psychology has a close relationship with Western Esotericism, represented by the contemporary ‘modern occult revival’. I present an overview of a few key transpersonal psychologists and how their ideas display the characteristics of Western Esotericism as defined by Antoine Faivre. I then discuss whether this approach is appropriate, the implications of associating Western Esotericism with Transpersonal Psychology, and the potential for a re-synthesis of these two traditions.
The power of imagery: Recollections
Authors: Guest Hazel Skelsey
Published: January 2023

The author recalls her experiences with imagery from the pioneering and experimental workshops of the 1970s to more recent times. The word ‘imagery’ is used here in its broadest sense to include not only visual images but also those which are related to other senses. The techniques include spot imaging, guided fantasy, spontaneously occurring images, and dreams, all of which are capable of leading to therapeutic insights, thereby revealing that there is an unconscious source of intuitive wisdom. The recognition of sub-personalities is cited as an example. The importance of good recording is emphasised. Most of the examples are taken from her own experiences as a workshop participant and from her own dreams and self-analysis. This last carries a warning about the use of imagery in unsupervised self-analysis because of the danger of dredging up material which one is unable to handle alone. The lack of professional regulation in the 1970s gave rise to some negative experiences because of the lack of understanding of the power of evoked imagery.
Transpersonal phenomenology: The cosmological and spiritual dimensions of the Husserlian epoché
Authors: Laughlin Charles D. , Rock Adam J.
Published: January 2023

Although phenomenologist Edmund Husserl’s project was not directed at transpersonal experiences, his methods are nevertheless applicable in a profound and effective way. We explore Husserl’s project and its methods for their relevance to transpersonal studies. Husserl laid out the proposition that science, including psychology, must be grounded in the study of perception, which after all is the source of all data of interest to the sciences. He held that until the essential structures of experience are laid bare, scientists have no idea of which elements of experience come from the environing world (Umwelt) and which are projected by the cognizing mind upon the world. His methods of reduction and epoché are explored and rudimentary steps toward realizing the ‘phenomenological attitude’ are defined. Once we are clear about how Husserlian phenomenology is actually accomplished, we turn to its relevance to transpersonal studies, offering examples first by applying them to the Taylor-Hartelius debate in transpersonal psychology, and then to the issue of absorption states in transpersonal anthropology and the study of the roots of religion cross-culturally.

Exploración con residuos de la industria textil
Authors: Rendón Cardona Mariana , Valderrama Rodríguez Sofía , Bustamante Francisco , Osorio Diez Nicolás , Herreño Elisabeth
Published: January 2023

En Colombia la industria textil es una de las que genera mayores ingresos al sector económico por la calidad y cantidad de producción, destacándose por su capacidad de competitividad en el comercio exterior y aportes significativos a la industria de la moda; sin embargo, debido a los procesos para la obtención de sus productos, esta industria también es responsable de un alto porcentaje de contaminación pues genera demasiados residuos poco aprovechables que interfieren con el ciclo de vida sostenible del producto.

Debido a la crítica situación ambiental que vive hoy en día el planeta, se estipulan diferentes objetivos y metodologías como rutas de acción para mitigar el impacto generado por parte de las industrias, a partir de esto el semillero de investigación Objetos, hace un trabajo experiencial con los residuos de tela dacrón obtenidos de una empresa del sector de confecciones de Medellín; se somete los residuos a diferentes pruebas, haciendo intervención con distintos materiales y procesos sostenibles con el fin de obtener información sobre el comportamiento y nuevas características físicas que podrían surgir a partir de la experimentación con los materiales y de esta forma retornarlo al ciclo técnico para el desarrollo de nuevos productos.

En esta primera fase se logra obtener un material compuesto que presenta un potencial para usarlo en la creación de paneles o elementos no estructurales para el sector de la construcción.
Experiencia de aprendizaje de matemáticas
Authors: Chacón Arango Jaime Andrés , Rodríguez Grisales Paula Andrea , Castillo Beltrán Paola Andrea
Published: January 2023

El razonamiento matemático es esencial para el desenvolvimiento de una persona en el contexto social y académico. Y el escenario en Colombia es preocupante por los bajos resultados en las pruebas realizadas por el ICFES: Saber 3° y 5° de los últimos años, y el gran aumento en el porcentaje de estudiantes en nivel insuficiente. Esto a causa de la enseñanza tradicional, centrada en modelos que no consideran las dificultades y diferentes ritmos en los procesos de aprendizaje, también, tampoco se vincula lo aprendido con lo real de forma interdisciplinar, es decir que el estudiante no relaciona lo aprendido en el aula con situaciones de otras disciplinas o su propia cotidianidad. Así mismo, la desconexión entre los tipos de lenguaje matemático y el lenguaje natural hace que sea más complejo el entendimiento de todos los procesos y razonamientos matemáticos.

Todo lo anterior ocasiona una falta de motivación, deterioro en la relación estudianteeducador, etraso en la promoción estudiantil, frustración, dificultad para aplicar operaciones útiles en la vida diaria, entre otras. Frente a esto, se evidencia la necesidad de fortalecer el aprendizaje de los conocimientos básicos en el área de las matemáticas desde los grados de básica primaria para evitar que las falencias afecten el desarrollo de la educación superior.

De esta manera, se propone desde el diseño industrial el desarrollo de una experiencia mediada por material lúdico-didáctico que permita fortalecer el aprendizaje del lenguaje matemático a través de estrategias que impulsen la apropiación de los conocimientos adquiridos dentro y fuera del aula, para que los estudiantes puedan vincular lo real con lo abstracto de las matemáticas.

Authors: Shi Zhu , Wu Hao , Jin Zhongyang , Song Hong
Published: January 2023

The construction site belongs to the high-risk operation area, and whether the safety protection articles are correctly worn will directly affect the personal safety of operators. Aiming at the problems of weak anti-interference and low detection accuracy of existing detection methods, a new detection method for safety appliances based on improved YOLOv5 is proposed. This method embeds the BoT module into YOLOv5 backbone network, and uses its self attention mechanism to further mine image feature clues, so as to enhance the network's ability to extract features from target regions. The experimental results show that the average precision mAP of the method based on the improved YOLOv5 is 87.1%, and the recall rate is 80.8%. Compared with the original YOLOv5, the precision is improved by two percent.

Closed Trajectory Optimization for Aerial Base Station: An Energy Efficiency Design
Authors: Tian Fengyuan
Published: January 2023

By optimizing the energy-efficient flight trajectory of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), UAV-based aerial base stations (BSs) can provide longer communication services to more ground nodes (GNs) under the UAV battery limitation. Path discretization method and successive convex approximation (SCA) algorithm have been shown to be effective techniques in the design of the energy-aware UAV one-way trajectory along a few GNs. Compared with current studies, this paper designed and compared different optimal closed UAV trajectories among multiple GNs under a wide range of changing communication requirements. Meanwhile, a more complex and realistic scenario is considered where the UAV visits the ground nodes sequentially without repetition from a centrally located terrestrial base station and returns to the starting point in the end.  To thoroughly analyze this problem, two UAV trajectory designs are proposed in this paper. One is to use the fly-hover-communicate protocol as a benchmark for comparison, and the other is to require that the UAV should fly and communicate with ground nodes simultaneously, named the fly-over scheme. The simulation results show that, in general, the proposed fly-over scheme outperforms the benchmark results, while in the case of high and low communication demands, the energy-saving performance of both is very similar.  Therefore, advice can be given on the design of the UAV trajectory depending on different situations.

Handling and consuming contaminated meat can lead to food poisoning and the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Salmonella spp. are the most isolated bacteria from broiler chicken meat, leading to serious foodborne diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate the presence and antibiogram profiles of Salmonella spp. and S. aureus strains in poultry meat purchased from modern and traditional poultry slaughterhouses in Morocco. Foodborne pathogens, such as Salmonella spp. and S. aureus, were isolated from poultry meat using standard methods and then confirmed by biochemical tests (coagulase, catalase, oxidase, motility and API 20E for further biochemical identification) and an immunological test (serotyping test). The antibiogram of the isolates was determined using the agar diffusion method and interpreted according to the criteria of performance standards for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, Wayne, Pennsylvania, USA. A total of 540 poultry meat samples were collected and treated (360 poultry meat samples from traditional slaughterhouses and 180 poultry meat samples from modern slaughterhouses), out of which 15.92% were S. aureus positive and 7.40% were Salmonella spp. positive. In traditional poultry slaughterhouses, the prevalence rates of Salmonella spp. and S. aureus were 11.11% and 20.55%, respectively. In contrast, Salmonella spp. was not detected in poultry samples of modern poultry slaughterhouses, and the prevalence of S. aureus was 6.66%. All S. aureus and 97% of Salmonella spp. isolates were found resistant to at least one antibiotic, while 86% of S. aureus and 30% of Salmonella spp. showed resistance to more than three antibiotics. The obtained results of the present study confirmed that broiler chicken meat purchased from traditional poultry slaughterhouses was mainly contaminated by Salmonella spp. and S. aureus, indicating a major public health risk in Morocco. Therefore, considerable efforts should be made to apply appropriate hygiene practices.

Negotiations are a valuable and important tool for increasing the voice of workers in the informal economy. This paper provides empirical evidence from Africa, Asia and the Americas on negotiations and collective bargaining by workers in the informal economy. These practices demonstrate that negotiations involving workers in the informal economy, including those that culminate in collective agreements, are key to ensuring the fair distribution of the fruits of economic progress and labour protection to workers in many countries. They are also an important tool for reducing informalization trends. The paper also shows the multiple challenges workers in the informal economy are facing when organizing and entering into negotiations and outlines some possible pathways on how these can be reduced.
Imágenes de inervación miocárdica: MIBG en práctica clínica

Published: January 2023

La 123I-metayodobencilguanidina (MIBG) es un análogo de norepinefrina radiomarcado que se puede usar para investigar la inervación simpática del miocardio. La gammagrafía con 123I-MIBG se ha investigado con interés en muchos contextos patológicos. En pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) sistólica, la gammagrafía con 123I-MIBG puede detectar el deterioro funcional y la rarefacción de las terminales simpáticas (que se manifiestan como reducción de la relación corazón-mediastino [H/M] temprana y tardía en la gammagrafía planar) y aumento del flujo de salida simpático (que puede visualizarse como una alta tasa de lavado). Estos hallazgos se han asociado consistentemente con un peor resultado: más notablemente, un ensayo de fase 3, encontró que los pacientes con un H/M tardío 1.60, poseen una mayor incidencia de mortalidad cardiovascular y por todas las causas y arritmias potencialmente mortales durante un seguimiento de menos de 2 años. A pesar de estos hallazgos prometedores, la gammagrafía con 123I-MIBG aún no ha sido recomendada por las principales guías de IC como una herramienta para la estratificación del riesgo aditivo y nunca ha entrado en la etapa de adopción generalizada en la práctica clínica actual. La gammagrafía con 123I-MIBG también se ha evaluado en pacientes con infarto de miocardio, trastornos genéticos caracterizados por una mayor susceptibilidad a las arritmias ventriculares y varias otras condiciones caracterizadas por alteración de la inervación miocárdica simpática. En la presente revisión, se resumirá el estado del arte de la gammagrafía cardíaca con 123I-MIBG, los problemas actuales sin resolver y las posibles direcciones de la investigación futura.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop a computerized deep learning (DL) technique to identify bacterial genera more precisely in minimum time than the usual, traditional, and commonly used techniques like cultural, staining, and morphological characteristics.
Materials and Methods: A convolutional neural network as a part of machine learning (ML) for bacterial genera identification methods was developed using python programming language and the Keras API with TensorFlow ML or DL framework to discriminate bacterial genera, e.g., Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Escherichia, Salmonella, and Corynebacterium. A total of 200 dig¬ital microscopic cell images comprising 40 of each of the genera mentioned above were used in this study.
Results: The developed technique could identify and distinguish microscopic images of Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Escherichia, Salmonella, and Corynebacterium with the highest accuracy of 92.20% for Staphylococcus and the lowest of 77.40% for Salmonella. Among the five epochs, the accuracy rate of bacterial genera identification of Staphylococcus was graded 1, and Streptococcus, Escherichia, Corynebacterium, and Salmonella as 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively.
Conclusion: The experimental results suggest using the DL method to predict bacterial genera included in this study. However, further improvement with more bacterial genera, especially of similar morphology, is necessary to make the technique widely used for bacterial genera identification.

Objective: Indonesia is an archipelagic country with a mega biodiversity, among others, in the marine area. Seahorses (Hippocampus spp.) are a marine fish known to have biocompounds used in traditional medicine “Jamu,” such as Hippocampus comes L. (HCL). The present study aims to analyze and compare the chemical contents of cultured seahorse (CS) and natural seahorse (NS) extracts.
Materials and Methods: The CS and NS were identified morphometrically. After freeze-drying, the seahorses were ground into powder with a grinder. The seahorse powder was extracted with ethanol and a water solvent. The extract contained biocompounds, proximate, amino acids, and steroids with high-performance liquid chromatography.
Results: The study found unique characteristics of HCL. The highest yield was obtained in NS using a water solvent (18.6%). The biocompounds in seahorses consist of alkaloids and triterpenoids. The highest proximate of water content (11.03%) and ash content (42.50%) was found in NS. In addition, other compounds were also detected in CS, such as fat (7.48%) and protein (47.67%). Both of HCL’s different sources had all essential and nonessential amino acids in which the highest concentration were in NS, i.e., L-arginine (56,537.22 mg/kg), L-lysine (17,794.17), glycine (113,649.80 mg/kg), L-proline (47,056.15), and L-alanine (43,451.81). The analysis of the steroid compound of the extract suggested the presence of steroid glycosides.
Conclusion: The highest yield of the seahorse extract with a water solvent is about 18.6% and protein content of 47.67% in CS. The crude extract has alkaloids, triterpenoids, and glycine (113,649.80 mg/kg) in NS with water, suggesting the presence of steroid glycosides.
