Principled Pluralism Sebagai Model Ideal Hubungan Agama Dan Konstitusi Di Indonesia
Authors: Rifdah Haliza Nur
Published: February 2024

As a plural country, Indonesia needs to know the relationship between religion and its constitution. Even though it has been written in Article 29 (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, the connection is still vague. It shows in its practice where there are still injustice actions that have been experienced by minorities, such as demolition of churches or forced conversion to one specific religion. Neglecting this relationship is undoubtedly dangerous because religion and the constitution influence social life. Therefore, by using doctrinal research methods and historical and comparative legal approaches, this study aims to find the classification of these relationships and the ideal model for Indonesia. The study shows the relationship is in the form of pluralist accommodation, where this form upholds religious values and acknowledges the existence of various religions and beliefs in society. To strengthening this relationship, principled pluralism is considered an ideal model in Indonesia.

Published: February 2024

Amendment to Law on Mineral and Coal Mining makes the authority to issue Mining Business Permits (IUP) shifted from local governments, including governors and regents/mayors (decentralization), to the central government (centralization). The centralization of the IUP issuance gives full authority to the central government in issuing IUP. This normative research is carried out to determine the extent to which the principle of transparency is applied after the Minerba Law 3/2020. The results show that shifting the authority of IUP issuance from the regional government to the central government does not eliminate the threat of bribery corruption as it does not strengthen the principle of transparency. Whereas the principle of transparency is the key to minimizing corruption in mining permit bribes. The solution is reforming Mineral and Coal Mining regulations and strengthening the related institutions to uphold the principle of transparency in the rezime of IUP centralization.

Published: February 2024

The economic impact of energy loss stemming from end-user electricity consumption is a significant concern, with historical trends revealing escalating costs. Effectively managing both peak and off-peak demands remains a formidable challenge due to the unpredictable nature of consumer behaviors, leading to energy wastage. This study delves into the nexus of demand uncertainty, financial repercussions, and potential strategies to mitigate energy losses in the evolving landscape of electricity consumption.that causes financial loss. This simulation measure of time series data serves the purpose of determining what possibly contributes to policy and regulatory reforms and its notion as an economic growth pathway in Australia. The objective of this study is to build a relationship between social factors and financial aspects and discuss the issue of energy loss that emerges from the lack of leverage between end-users, providers and suppliers of electricity. Recognising the financial burdens associated with energy loss as electricity demand continues to rise, the investigation aims to elucidate the complexities underlying the difficulties in controlling these losses. The distinctiveness of the electricity industry, characterised by its prototypical nature, introduces dynamics that contribute to energy losses, thereby impacting electricity prices. Employing quantitative analysis, this research employs the Earned Value Method (EVM) tool to scrutinise the influential role of consumer behavior in precipitating financial losses. The study provides a comprehensive examination of the interplay between electricity demand and the adverse effects of energy loss during peak and off-peak consumption periods. Utilising time series data through simulation measures, the research identifies key metrics influencing the formation of electricity costs and prices. The findings not only contribute to a deeper understanding of the energy loss parameter but also offer insights into potential policy and regulatory reforms. With a focus on Australia, the research aims to establish a relationship between social factors and financial considerations, emphasising the issue of energy loss arising from the lack of alignment between end-users, providers, and suppliers of electricity. The study concludes by proposing pathways for economic growth through strategic interventions and collaborative efforts within the electricity ecosystem.

Authors: Laymouna Moustafa , Ma Yuanchao , Lessard David , Schuster Tibor , Engler Kim , Lebouché Bertrand
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Chatbots, or conversational agents, have emerged as significant tools in health care, driven by advancements in artificial intelligence and digital technology. These programs are designed to simulate human conversations, addressing various health care needs. However, no comprehensive synthesis of health care chatbots’ roles, users, benefits, and limitations is available to inform future research and application in the field.

OBJECTIVE

This review aims to describe health care chatbots’ characteristics, focusing on their diverse roles in the health care pathway, user groups, benefits, and limitations.

METHODS

A rapid review of published literature from 2017 to 2023 was performed with a search strategy developed in collaboration with a health sciences librarian and implemented in the MEDLINE and Embase databases. Primary research studies reporting on chatbot roles or benefits in health care were included. Two reviewers dual-screened the search results. Extracted data on chatbot roles, users, benefits, and limitations were subjected to content analysis.

RESULTS

The review categorized chatbot roles into 2 themes: delivery of remote health services, including patient support, care management, education, skills building, and health behavior promotion, and provision of administrative assistance to health care providers. User groups spanned across patients with chronic conditions as well as patients with cancer; individuals focused on lifestyle improvements; and various demographic groups such as women, families, and older adults. Professionals and students in health care also emerged as significant users, alongside groups seeking mental health support, behavioral change, and educational enhancement. The benefits of health care chatbots were also classified into 2 themes: improvement of health care quality and efficiency and cost-effectiveness in health care delivery. The identified limitations encompassed ethical challenges, medicolegal and safety concerns, technical difficulties, user experience issues, and societal and economic impacts.

CONCLUSIONS

Health care chatbots offer a wide spectrum of applications, potentially impacting various aspects of health care. While they are promising tools for improving health care efficiency and quality, their integration into the health care system must be approached with consideration of their limitations to ensure optimal, safe, and equitable use.
Lessons Learned From Shared Decision-Making With Oral Anticoagulants: Viewpoint on Suggestions for the Development of Oral Chemotherapy Decision Aids (Preprint)
Authors: McLoughlin Daniel E , Moreno Echevarria Fabiola M , Badawy Sherif M
Published: February 2024

UNSTRUCTURED

Oral chemotherapy is commonly prescribed, and by using decision aids (DAs), clinicians can facilitate shared decision-making (SDM) to align treatment choices with patient goals and values. Although products exist commercially, little evidence informs the development of DAs targeting the unique challenges of oral chemotherapy. To address this gap in the literature, our objective was to review DAs developed for oral anticoagulation, DA use in oncology, and patient preference surveys to guide the development of DAs for oral chemotherapy. We focused on reviewing SDM, patient preferences, and specifically the development, efficacy, and patient experience of DAs in oral anticoagulation and oncologic conditions, ultimately including conclusions and data from 30 peer-reviewed publications in our viewpoint paper. We found that effective DAs in oral anticoagulation improved knowledge, lowered decisional conflict, increased adherence, and covered a broad range of SDM elements; however, limited information on patient experience was a common shortcoming. In oncology, DAs increased knowledge and aligned decisions with the values of the patients. Ineffective oncology DAs provided general, unclear, or overly optimistic information, while providing “too much” information was not shown to do harm. Patients preferred DAs that included pros and cons, side effects, questions to ask, and expected quality of life changes. In developing DAs for oral chemotherapy, patients should be included in the development process, and DA content should be specifically tailored to patient preferences. Providing DAs ahead of appointments proved more effective than during, and additional considerations included addressing barriers to efficacy. There is a need for evidence-based DAs to facilitate SDM for patients considering oral chemotherapy. Developers should use data from studies in oral anticoagulation, oncology, and preference surveys to optimize SDM.

UNSTRUCTURED

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into society presents immense opportunities for progress but also poses potential for risks to mental health. This paper explores the possibility and implications of AI contributing to social and mental health challenges while acknowledging its positive potential in various aspects of life. The potential of AI to facilitate aberrant social behaviors, such as hyper-attachment and desocialization, raises concerns about its impact on mental health. Individuals, particularly those with pre-existing mental conditions or even relatively weak social skills, may become overly connected to AI entities, exacerbating social isolation, which is already prevalent under widespread social media use. While AI can foster positive social interactions, its dependence could diminish human-to-human connections, leading to extensive social disconnection. Moreover, easy access to personal information for AI analysis may result in precision harassment and collective privacy loss, posing risks to individuals and society. Integrating medical records with AI also heightens the risk of sensitive information being misused or illegally accessed, contributing to the disruption of social life and poor mental health. Addressing these issues is crucial to prevent potential harm caused by AI's evolution and job displacements in society. The commentary urges systematic consideration of the mental health consequences of AI, calling for regulations and responsible use. It highlights the need for education and collective efforts to minimize adverse effects. By shaping the integration of AI thoughtfully, we can optimize benefits while safeguarding mental well-being. Collaboration among stakeholders is vital to developing comprehensive recommendations and creating a favorable AI-human coexistence.
The additional effect of a Facebook-enhanced weight loss intervention in a sample of overweight and obese adults: A randomized controlled trial (Preprint)
Authors: Huang Chiao-Yu , Huang Kuo-Chin , Chen Duan-Rung
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Social networking sites have progressively become essential tools for healthcare teams and researchers in the healthcare field for disseminating information and facilitate interpersonal communication among an extensive user community. The use of social networking sites in delivering behavior change interventions to enhance weight loss has become an increasingly important topic in recent years.

OBJECTIVE

This randomized controlled trial assessed the effectiveness of a hybrid approach, combining face-to-face counseling with Facebook interventions for weight loss, analyzing weight change and emotional well-being.

METHODS

From August 2017 to February 2020, 72 overweight or obese individuals (aged 20 to 64 years) from a medical center in Taipei, were randomized using a permuted-block procedure to receive either the Facebook enhanced group, a hybridized approach of face-to-face counseling complemented by Facebook-based interventions (n=37) or the control group, solely utilizing face-to-face counseling (n=35). Both weight and emotional distress were assessed at baseline and periodic intervals during the intervention and after the 12 months, and differences between groups were evaluated using Analysis of Covariance. Longitudinal trajectories for weight and emotional distress were evaluated employing Hierarchical Growth Curve Models. The trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06237933.

RESULTS

Participants’ mean (standard deviation (SD)) was 35.7 (9.9) years. Mean (SD) body mass index was 35.7 (9.9) kg/m2. At 12 months, weight was assessed in 54 (75%) participants, but all 72 were included in analyses. Both groups demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in weight at the 12-month time point. However, no statistically significant differences in weight change were observed. When adjusting for age, sex, and initial weight, the Facebook-enhanced group exhibited an accelerated yet statistically non-significant rate of weight loss (additional 0.23 kg/month, P=0.087). The rate of improvement in emotional distress was significantly greater in the Facebook-enhanced group than in the control group upon statistical adjustment (P=0.011).

CONCLUSIONS

Harnessing social networking sites enhances behavior change interventions' effectiveness in easing emotional distress during weight loss. Integrating in-person counseling with Facebook interventions shows promise for managing obesity in primary healthcare.

CLINICALTRIAL

The trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06237933.

Kidney transplant is not only the best treatment for patients with advanced kidney disease but it also reduces health care expenditure. The management of transplant patients is complex as they require special care by transplant nephrologists who have expertise in assessing transplant candidates, understand immunology and organ rejection, have familiarity with perioperative complications, and have the ability to manage the long-term effects of chronic immunosuppression. This skill set at the intersection of multiple disciplines necessitates additional training in Transplant Nephrology. Currently, there are more than 250,000 patients with a functioning kidney allograft and over 100,000 waitlisted patients awaiting kidney transplant, with a burgeoning number added to the kidney transplant wait list every year. In 2022, more than 40,000 patients were added to the kidney wait list and more than 25,000 received a kidney transplant. The Advancing American Kidney Health Initiative, passed in 2019, is aiming to double the number of kidney transplants by 2030 creating a need for additional transplant nephrologists to help care for them. Over the past decade, there has been a decline in the Nephrology—as well Transplant Nephrology—workforce due to a multitude of reasons. The American Society of Transplantation Kidney Pancreas Community of Practice created a workgroup to discuss the Transplant Nephrology workforce shortage. In this article, we discuss the scope of the problem and how the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education recognition of Transplant Nephrology Fellowship could at least partly mitigate the Transplant Nephrology work force crisis.

Authors: Prasad Ankita
Published: February 2024

Abstract: This study investigates the combined effect of nano silica and banana fibres on mechanical properties of concrete of grade M-25. Nano silica has been used as a partial replacement of cement by weight. Nano silica has been kept constant at 3% as maximum strength was achieved at this percentage according to past studies. Banana fibre has been added by weight of cement in proportions of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%. Length of banana fibres kept at 40mm. Compressive strength was determined by using different combinations of nano silica and banana fibre. Nano concrete provides good strength as compared to conventional concrete. The addition of banana fibres in nano concrete improved the strength properties of nano concrete as well as improvement in crack resistance of concrete. On the other hand, the addition of banana fibres resulted in reduction workability as well as permeability of concrete

Published: February 2024

Este artículo analiza cómo se aborda la enseñanza del golpe de Estado y la dictadura civil-militar entendida como un tema controversial, y cómo se vincula con las expectativas del profesorado sobre su enseñanza. Surge a partir de un proyecto en el que participan tres carreras de formación del profesorado de una universidad pública y cinco establecimientos educacionales de Santiago, desarrollado con el propósito de fortalecer una ciudadanía crítica en los espacios escolares a partir de la enseñanza del golpe de Estado y la creación de artefactos de memoria. Se optó por una metodología cualitativa con utilización de técnicas provenientes del análisis del discurso y documental. Como principales hallazgos se revela que el diseño de la enseñanza del golpe de Estado se aborda desde las múltiples dimensiones de su controversialidad (experiencia y memoria histórica, relevancia en el presente, vulneración de derechos humanos) materializadas en los artefactos de memoria construidos. Dicho abordaje se relaciona directamente con las expectativas del profesorado manifestadas como oportunidades, complejidades, tensiones y posicionamiento teórico y expresadas en estrecha relación a través de los distintos componentes de la planificación de la enseñanza. En conclusión, la controversialidad posibilita y desafía el ejercicio de la problematización curricular y se resuelve en el plano didáctico a partir de actividades y experiencias de memoria.

Estos eventos, junto con otras críticas, han llevado a considerar también en las empresas la necesidad de ir hacia una cierta desglobalización. Ahora bien, ese posible mundo desglobalizado, con menor interconexión y cierta fragmentación, ¿será menos complejo e incierto? ¿Cómo debe afrontarlo la gestión empresarial? Objetivos: se pretende alcanzar dos objetivos: el primero es analizar las críticas al proceso de globalización y las posibles respuestas en forma de desglobalización; el segundo es mostrar desarrollos de gestión que permitan a las empresas afrontar el entorno futuro. Materiales y métodos: adoptando prácticamente un enfoque basado en la complejidad, se analiza la literatura sobre la globalización y la reciente desglobalización, así como sobre las últimas aportaciones en gestión empresarial frente a complejidad e incertidumbre. Resultados: el proceso hacia cierta desglobalización parece asentado, aunque el mundo futuro seguirá siendo complejo e incierto, por lo que se requiere adaptación de la gestión empresarial. Discusión: la gestión empresarial, especialmente a largo plazo, deberá experimentar cambios radicales, basados principalmente en ambidestrezas. Conclusiones: a mediano plazo, la acción empresarial debe centrarse en la reestructuración de las redes de suministro, la digitalización y la atención a las personas. A largo plazo se proponen como propósitos generales sostenibilidad e innovación, conseguibles mediante el desarrollo de varias capacidades interrelacionadas, donde se destacan seis ambidestrezas. Contribución/originalidad: este trabajo contribuye al análisis del entorno organizacional futuro desde un enfoque basado en la complejidad y avanza en la propuesta novedosa de varias ambidestrezas que deberán desarrollar las empresas para sobrevivir en el futuro previsible.
Measuring chandler wobble amplitude variations using IERS EOP C04 data
Authors: Damljanovic G. , Vasilic V.
Published: February 2024

We analyzed the Earth's long-term polar motion using the time series IERS EOP
C04 (International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service - IERS;
Earth Orientation Parameters - EOP; Combination of four (04) techniques -
C04), from 1984 to 2023, to determine the variation of the Chandler wobble
amplitude. To compare the results based on the C04 with the so-called
Belgrade latitude data (Belgrade Lunette Zenithale - BLZ series 1949-1985)
results, we calculated the latitude variations at the BLZ point using the
C04 coordinates (x, y). The secular part of these latitude variations was
determined by applying the least-squares method (LSM) and removed from the
data to obtain the residuals. We used Direct Fourier transforms to extract
annual and semiannual oscillations and to remove them from the residuals
(resulting in a new set of residuals). These new residuals were divided into
33 independent 1.2-year subintervals. For each subinterval, we calculated
the amplitude, period, and phase of the Chandler nutation using LSM. The
quasi-periodic instability of 33 values of the Chandler wobble amplitude is
detected with a period of 54.5 years using LSM (it was 38.5 years from the
BLZ data 1949-1985); the amplitude of that quasi-periodic variation is 0
.''087 (0 .''06 from BLZ data). The amplitude of the Chandler nutation
varies between minimum of 0 .''012 (at 2019.3) and a maximum of 0 .''23 (at
1994.1); the period is stable, but the phase is not stable. We applied the
Abbe's criterion to explain the variability in 33 values of the Chandler
wobble amplitude and the hypothesis that there is no trend in these 33
values is rejected based on the criterion. The obtained amplitude modulation
is in accordance with previous studies, but also with our own results based
on the BLZ data. Probably, the cause lies in the hydro-atmospheric
circulation that could influence calculated quasi-periodic variation. A
possible explanation can be found in the change in core-mantle
electromagnetic coupling (in agreement with the last few years'
investigations). In recent papers, it has been indicated that the effects of
geomagnetic jerks are more important for exciting a free nutation than the
net effect of atmosphere and oceans.

Authors: R* Haider
Published: February 2024

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a governing and incapacitating insane condition characterized by recurrent scenes of absorbing large quantities of snacks, followed by a sense of misfortune, loss of control, and distress. This research investigates the versatile dimensions of BED, directed at allure plant structure, amount, disease, and situation. Employing an assorted-methods approach, the study includes a different member group, mixing subjective and all-inclusive methods to comprehensively review this complex disorder. The research elucidates the predominance and risk determinants that guide BED, stressing the interaction between ancestral predisposition, incidental influences, and emotional determinants. Validating existing demonstrative tests, the study addresses demonstrative challenges and proposes concerns for cleansing tests to embellish veracity. Assessment finishes, containing self-reported questionnaires and neuro biological measures to a degree functionally attractive reverberation image, cause an inclusive understanding of BED and allure befriended comorbidities. Treatment efficacy is judged through randomized appointments to psycho therapeutic and pharmacological mediations, disclosing the influence of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). The study surveys the bidirectional friendship between BED and comorbid environments and arrives at nuanced situational suggestions and the need for distinguished care. The analysis circumscribes etiological insights, demonstrative challenges, situational associations, and all fitness impacts of BED. Recommendations for future research emphasize the essentiality of extensive, long studies, novel situational approaches, and a deeper survey of the neurobiological bases concerning this disorder. In conclusion, this research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of BED, contributing valuable visions that can inform dispassionate practice, embellish demonstrative veracity, and guide future research endeavours.

This research examines the hybrid nanofluid alumina-copper/water flow over a permeable sheet, considering slip, magnetohydrodynamics, and heat source. To analyze the system, the model is transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) via the similarity transformation. Numerical solutions are attained through the implementation of the bvp4c function in MATLAB. The study analyzes velocity and temperature profiles, local skin friction, and Nusselt number for various parameters. Moreover, the impact of magnetohydrodynamics on the system is explored. Increasing the magnetic parameter leads to an enlargement of the boundary layer thickness and an elevation in the skin friction coefficient. Overall, this study sheds light on the complex behavior of hybrid nanofluid flows and provides valuable insights into the effects of slip, magnetohydrodynamics, and heat source on the model while also presenting a validated model showcasing the compelling enhancement of heat transfer through the incorporation of copper into alumina nanofluid.

The article describes the process of developing intelligent search technology for content for the implementation of the module of e-commerce systems for forming a list of recommendations for regular users. Intelligent search of content is based on methods of linguistic analysis, modern algorithms for parsing and finding words, and recommendations based on user preferences. The main components of such a search are the parsing of text strings, the selection of keywords, the spelling check, the recognition of common abbreviations and acronyms, the semantic analysis of the text, the search by relevance with the extraction of synonyms, filters and sorting. A web application based on Java and Elasticsearch was developed with the implementation of a recommender system based on a collaborative filtering algorithm. The purpose of the work is to develop the technology of intelligent product search with the formation of a list of recommendations for the user. The object of the research is the processes of intelligent search with the possibility of generating recommendations for users in the field of any e-commerce without reference to the categorization of goods/services, etc. The subject of research is the methods and means of intelligent search of recommender systems based on the Collaborative Filtering algorithm for the formation of product recommendations for users, which is oriented on general coincidences of the choices of similar users. During the experimental testing of the developed system, a number of search queries were conducted with and without the NLP algorithm, the results of which demonstrated an improvement in system performance within the range of 15–95 % depending on the keyword and the presence/absence of errors in the search words. A comparison of the speed of execution of requests with already existing systems was also carried out. Yes, the amount of data in the storage may differ (error when comparing 60–70 ms). For example, a query that consists of 1 or 2 words will be found much faster by 20–70 ms compared to its counterparts. But for 3 and more, results are about the same – 9–20 ms faster.

For last decades code size is no longer a concern except small embedded systems. ARM Cortex M is a typical microcontroller architecture of such systems. A simple yet effective approach based on pre- filtering Thumb2 binary code is proposed to improve code compression by the general purpose Deflate algorithm. It transforms BL (branch and link) instructions pointing to the same effective address before compression, and restores original opcodes after decompression. Tests performed on real-life embedded software show that the proposed algorithm improves code compression by approximately 3 %.

A graph scheme of a generalized algorithm for parallel stream calculation of the scalar product was developed. The proposed algorithm uses the same type of operations for forming a partial product that is calculated starting from the lowest digits of the multipliers. The developed algorithm of parallel stream calculation of the scalar product is performed with the use of operations for forming partial products, calculating the macro-partial product, and adding it to the partial result shifted to the right by the number of digits that were used in the formation of partial products. It is suggested that the development of FPGA structures of devices for parallel stream calculation of the scalar product be carried out according to the following principles: use of the same type of conveyor steps; performing calculations based on addition, inversion, and shift operations; performing the calculation of the scalar product as a single operation; regularity and localization of connections between conveyor steps; coordination of the duration of the conveyor time with the time of data input and the time of output of calculation results; space-time parallelization of the process of calculating the scalar product. The algorithm and structure of the parallel stream device for calculating the scalar product with direct formation of partial products based on the analysis of one order of multipliers, which ensures operation with the smallest conveyor cycle, has been developed. The algorithm and structure of the parallel stream device for calculating the scalar product with the formation of partial products for the sum of two pairs of products with the analysis of one order of multipliers, which is advisable to use for a small number of operands, have been developed. The algorithm and structure of a parallel stream device for calculating the scalar product with the formation of partial products according to the modified Booth algorithm have been developed, which ensures a reduction in equipment costs when processing operands with n≥24 bits. The algorithm and structure of the device for calculating the scalar product with the formation of group partial products have been developed, which provides the lowest equipment costs in the case of n=8 for N>8. A method for the synthesis of FPGA devices for parallel stream calculation of the scalar product in real-time has been developed. The proposed method ensures high efficiency of the use of the equipment due to the selection of the algorithm for the formation of partial products and the structure of the device from the list of developed ones and the coordination of the cycle of the conveyor of the selected structure with the time of arrival of input data.
