OBJECTIVE

We evaluated the safety and efficacy of fully closed-loop with ultrarapid insulin lispro in adults with type 1 diabetes and suboptimal glycemic control compared with insulin pump therapy with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This single-center, randomized, crossover study enrolled 26 adults with type 1 diabetes using insulin pump therapy with suboptimal glycemic control (mean ± SD, age 41 ± 12 years, HbA1c 9.2 ± 1.1% [77 ± 12 mmol/mol]). Participants underwent two 8-week periods of unrestricted living to compare fully closed-loop with ultrarapid insulin lispro (CamAPS HX system) with insulin pump therapy with CGM in random order.

RESULTS

In an intention-to-treat analysis, the proportion of time glucose was in range (primary end point 3.9–10.0 mmol/L) was higher during closed-loop than during pump with CGM (mean ± SD 50.0 ± 9.6% vs. 36.2 ± 12.2%, mean difference 13.2 percentage points [95% CI 9.5, 16.9], P < 0.001). Time with glucose >10.0 mmol/L and mean glucose were lower during closed-loop than during pump with CGM (mean ± SD time >10.0 mmol/L: 49.0 ± 9.9 vs. 62.9 ± 12.6%, mean difference −13.3 percentage points [95% CI −17.2, −9.5], P < 0.001; mean ± SD glucose 10.7 ± 1.1 vs. 12.0 ± 1.6 mmol/L, mean difference −1.2 mmol/L [95% CI −1.8, −0.7], P < 0.001). The proportion of time with glucose <3.9 mmol/L was similar between periods (median [interquartile range (IQR)] closed-loop 0.88% [0.51–1.55] vs. pump with CGM 0.64% [0.28–1.10], P = 0.102). Total daily insulin requirements did not differ (median [IQR] closed-loop 51.9 units/day [35.7–91.2] vs. pump with CGM 50.7 units/day [34.0–70.0], P = 0.704). No severe hypoglycemia or ketoacidosis occurred.

CONCLUSIONS

Fully closed-loop insulin delivery with CamAPS HX improved glucose control compared with insulin pump therapy with CGM in adults with type 1 diabetes and suboptimal glycemic control.

Background/Aim: Rather than during illness while diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is developing, we aimed to determine if levels of routine point-of-care capillary blood ketones could predict future DKA.

Methods: We examined previously-collected data from placebo-assigned participants in an adjunct-to-insulin medication trial program that included fasted capillary blood ketone levels twice per week in a 2-month baseline period. Outcome was 6 to 12-month trial-adjudicated DKA.

Results: DKA events occurred in 12 of 484 participants at median 105[43,199] days. Maximum ketone levels were higher for cases compared to controls (0.8[0.6,1.2] vs 0.3[0.2,0.7] mmol/L, p=0.002), had nonparametric area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve 0.77 (95% CI 0.66-0.88). Ketone level ≥0.8 mmol/L had sensitivity 64%, specificity 78%, likelihood ratios positive and negative of 2.9 and 0.5.

Conclusion: This proof-of-concept that routine capillary ketone surveillance can identify individuals at high risk of future DKA implies a role for future technologies including continuous ketone monitoring.
Comparison of patient-reported achievements of goals and core outcomes with delayed breast reconstruction in irradiated patients: latissimus dorsi with an implant versus DIEP
Authors: Löfstrand Jonas , Paganini Anna , Lidén Mattias , Hansson Emma
Published: August 2023

Background: Different women’s individual goals with a breast reconstruction vary, and few studies compare techniques in light of the different goals. This study aimed to compare patient-reported core outcomes in patients reconstructed with deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flaps and latissimus dorsi (LD) flaps. Second, breast-related factors that the patients were particularly satisfied/dissatisfied with were analyzed.Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study, which includes women who had undergonemastectomy and radiation, followed by delayed breast reconstructions with either LD flap and implant or DIEP flap during 2007–2017. The patient-reported core outcomes of overall breast-specific quality of life, normality, women’s cosmetic satisfaction, self-esteem, emotional well-being, and physical well-being were analyzed using BREAST-Q.Results: The patients were divided into LD and implant (n = 135 patients) and DIEP (n = 118 patients) groups, and both were demographically similar. The median follow-up was 8 years. The DIEP group scored significantly higher than the LD and implant group in five out of six domains. A high satisfaction was reported in questions regarding the feeling or appearance when having clothes on, whereas the greatest dissatisfaction was reported regarding questions entailing symmetry and the appearance without clothes.Conclusion: After 7 years, patients’ breast-specific quality of life, normality, women’s cosmetic satisfaction, self-esteem, emotional well-being, and physical well-being seem to be higher in irradiated patients who have been reconstructed with DIEP flap as compared to patients reconstructed with LD flap and implant. In both groups, patient satisfaction is high regarding their appearance when clothed, whereas the lowest satisfaction scores were reported in situations without clothing.
Assessing the Risk of Damages by Wild Boars (Sus Scrofa) in Italian Apennines. Preliminary Report
Authors: Miraglia Nicoletta
Published: August 2023

Wildlife, particularly wild ungulates, has experienced a significant demographic increase throughout Europe, especially in the last 30 years. The objective of this study was to create a preliminary impact map of wild boars (Sus scrofa) in the Molise region of the Italian Southern Apennines, and their correlation with road accidents. A GIS software was used to process a map, and the impact of wild boars was categorized based on land use. An analysis of the environmental characteristics of the neighboring raster was conducted, considering the presence of roads, particularly with respect to accident events. The georeferenced damages were superimposed onto the impact risk map. The geo-referenced damages caused by wild boars indicate that they are primarily concentrated in areas where road accidents have occurred and where there is a high risk of impact. These maps serve as a valuable starting point for managing wild boars in the region by optimizing strategies from technical and economic perspectives. This process must include population control by evaluating the Annual Useful Increase index (IUA), based on processes related to birth-immigration and mortality-emigration of the species.
The Environmental Consequence of Automobile and Motor-bike Traffic Noise Intensity on the Activity of African Grey Parrots (Psithacus erittacus) in Limbe Botanic Garden, Southwest Region, Cameroon
Authors: Ekane M Melle
Published: August 2023

Highway traffic noise pollution is unavoidably generated by human activity, and has caused serious health problems to the human society. However, it’s also a challenge to many wildlife species, though, continous exposure to the noise stimuli has seemingly given them adaptation. Understanding the ability of wildlife species to cope with noise pollution is complex, thus, requires research. Therefore, the objective of this study was to explore automobile and motor bike traffic noise intensity on African grey parrots’ activity in Limbe Botanic Garden. The research data was collected for a period of three months from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm each day. Traffic noise pollution is difficult to avoid in urban settings because of huge human population and its activity, however, its interference with other sounds is common, and wildlife population living in cities, such as birds are affected. The study revealed a positive significance X2 = 25.796 df=2 P=0.000 and X2 =39.489 df=6 P=0.000 on photoperiod and meteorological conditions respectively. Moreover, meteorological changes in the study area recorded significance on sun 75%, cloud 15%, wind 6%, and rain 4% respectively. Furthermore, noise intensity of automobile and motor bike traffic around the botanic garden area showed a significance X2 = 5.657 df=8 P<0.05, and r = 0.209 P=0.000 on behavior and parrots' food availability respectively. The highest parrots’ activity recorded during this study was on contact calls 54%, and the least was roosting 3%. Though a comprehensive inventory is not carried out on the parrot population in Cameroon, there are signs, these birds are already facing population reduction; principally because of the pet-trade driven by the craving human love for the colourful plumage morphology and the talented sound-mimicking behavior of the parrots. There is a necessity for further study to be carried out on the birds’ population census in the country. The study found that traffic noise intensity at all levels have a negative influence on the aggregation activity of grey parrots, reason why they avoid the vegetation along the streets of the garden. Finally, oil palm fruit-feeding was a dominant activity recorded in this study, hence, we recommend more oil palm trees be planted in the garden far from major roads to enrich the feeding environment of the grey parrots.

Published: August 2023

The "World Press Freedom Index" is published annually by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and aims to compare 180 countries and territories according to the level of freedom enjoyed by journalists and the media. For 2023, Greece is in position 107 on the list, occupying the last position among the countries of the European Union. As a result of the financial and political crisis, Greek journalists and media faced a deepening lack of trust in the country (Gioltzidou, 2018). In this context, the present study attempts an in-depth study of the potentially problematic aspects of the practice of journalism in Greece, starting from the level of coverage of international news on public television. The theoretical study is based on the research of Lent (1977), who concluded that national interests, censorship (internal or external), and an increasingly shrinking body of correspondents limit international news coverage in the media. In the empirical part, the research results obtained from the study of 66 news bulletins and 1447 separate news topics on the public television ERT3 during September 2021 were presented. The central research question of the study is "What is the role and the position of international news in news bulletins in Greece in cases of global crisis?".

Pariwisata diharapkan menjadi pemicu pemulihan ekonomi di masa pandemic, termasuk bagi desa. Ini mendorong pemerintah desa untuk memaksimalkan peran Bumdes sebagai aktor utama pariwasata, termasuk di Desa Wisata Banyubiru, Kabupaten Magelang. Setelah dua tahun vakum, kegiatan pariwisata mulai dibuka dengan mengandalkan peran Bumdes dan Pokdarwis. Sayangnya, rencana tersebut menghadapi kendala; tidak ada tata kelola dan rencana kerja yang jelas. Masalah lain adalah anggaran dana desa untuk pariwisata tidak ada karena adanya ketentuan dari pemerintah pusat bahwa semitar 48 % Anggaran Dana Desa harus digunakan untuk BLT dan penannganan Covids-19, sehingga beberapa kendala tersebut mempengaruhi kinerja Bumdes dan Pokdarwis. Berdasarkan temuan awal diatas, kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat di Desa Wisata Banyubiru bertujuan .mendampingi Bumdes Nirmala Biru untuk memperbaiki tata kelola kelembagaan, menyusun rencana kerja dan memonitor implementasinya melalui serangkaian kegiatan; pengamatan terlibat, diskusi, wawancara hingga Focus Group Discussion. Setelah proses pendamping intensif selama sekitar 6 bulan, Bumdes Nirmala Biru berhasil me-reorganisasi kepengurusan dengan tata kelola lebih baik, memiliki program kerja lebih jelas serta menjalanan kembali beberapa agenda wisata dengan lebih inovatif, termasuk memiliki jaringa kemitraan lebih luas.

Genotype variations in biomass production and nutrient removal pattern in gladiolus raised from cormels
Authors: Sujatha S , Rao T M , Kumar Rajiv , Rupa T R
Published: August 2023

The present study was conducted at ICAR-IIHR, Bengaluru, India during 2018-2019 to quantify resource use efficiency in 11 genotypes of gladiolus propagated through cormels based on growth, biomass partitioning and nutrient removal pattern. Growth and yield parameters differed significantly among genotypes. The leaf number was significantly higher in Arka Shobha (9.67) and Arka Manorama (9.00) than other genotypes (6.33-8.67). The spike length was higher in Arka Naveen (102.9 cm) and lesser in Arka Kumkum (66.2 cm). The pattern of biomass partitioning indicated that below ground biomass (corm) accounted for 71.5% of total biomass (3990 kg ha-1), while above ground biomass (leaf and spike) was 28.5% of total biomass (1137 kg ha-1). In gladiolus genotypes, the nutrient profile indicated that the accumulation of N was higher in corms followed by leaves and spikes. The accumulation of P (0.13-0.14%), Mn (29.8-43.5 mg kg-1), Zn (15.3-23.4 mg kg-1) and Cu (5.2-6.0 mg kg-1) was similar. Spikes accumulated higher K and Mg than leaves and corms. The accumulation of Ca was more in leaves (2.39%) followed by flower stalks (1.95 %). The average Fe concentration (mg kg-1) was more in corms (293) followed by leaves (269) and flower stalks (160). The average nutrient removal in genotypes was quantified at 122 kg N, 10.8 kg P and 71.7 kg K per ha per crop. The nutrient demand (g ha-1) of Fe was more (1062.4) than Mn (152.5), Zn (23.8) and Cu (23.0). The data implies that gladiolus is a heavy feeder of N and K. Nutrient removal of K and Fe influenced the biomass production with high degree of variability (Y =-541.858 + 24.097 Kuptake + 1.405 Feuptake R2=0.995). The present study gives scope for precision nutrient use by avoiding blanket recommendations.
Estilos agrícolas como prácticas vitales para la construcción de circuitos agroalimentarios alternativos en el contexto de la modernización
Authors: Infante Camila Mariana , Paz Raúl Gustavo
Published: August 2023

Uno de los vectores del paradigma de la modernización es que una sociedad sólo es moderna si desaparecen costumbres y prácticas tradicionales para dar lugar al desarrollo económico. En ese marco, resulta difícil entender la realidad de sectores productivos como la agricultura familiar, que se sustentan sobre conocimientos y formas tradicionales de producción. El objetivo del trabajo es analizar un caso a partir del enfoque de estilos agrícolas que permite captar las prácticas llevadas a cabo por los actores en un contexto moderno teniendo en cuenta la capacidad productiva y el grado de incorporación a los mercados. La metodología combina técnicas cuantitativas y cualitativas de investigación, y las conclusiones son dos: primero, la caracterización de los estilos atiende a aspectos que son más representativos de la realidad; segundo, permite identificar circuitos agroalimentarios alternativos locales, lo que posibilita en los agricultores una manera particular de integrarse al sistema moderno globalizado.
La rentabilidad de una estancia en la Argentina durante la gran expansión. El caso de la ‘La Curamalán’ (1880-1928)
Authors: Cuesta Eduardo Martín
Published: August 2023

Las estancias y los estancieros argentinos son una pieza clave de los debates en historia económica del período entre fines del siglo XIX y comienzos del XX. Este trabajo aporta un nuevo caso: “Estancia La Curamalán”. Esta fue “modelo”, tanto por su tamaño como por su gestión del ganado, y los recursos humanos y financieros. Originalmente fue creada por Eduardo Casey en la década de 1880 y tras la crisis de 1890 pasó a propiedad de la casa financiera londinense Baring Brothers. A partir de las fuentes del Archivo de esta casa, se presenta un análisis de la evolución económica, patrimonial y financiera de la Estancia, así como del modelo de gestión, entre 1884 y 1928. Esto posibilita un acercamiento a la rentabilidad del negocio agropecuario en el período central del boom económico agroexportador argentino.

Visualização e representação do conceito de polígono em livros didáticos do Ensino Fundamental
Authors: Pinto Leivas José Carlos
Published: August 2023

Este trabalho apresenta uma análise de livros didáticos de duas coleções aprovadas pelo Plano Nacional do Livro Didático a partir de exemplares do manual do professor. A primeira coleção é relativa aos dois anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental e a segunda, dos quatro últimos. Analisou-se como o conceito de polígono é proposto para trabalhar esses adiantamentos à luz dos registros apresentados no livro didático, solicitados aos estudantes em atividades propostas, além das sugestões dadas ao professor, complementando com respostas ou sugestões. Os elementos fornecidos em língua natural e/ou figural delineiam uma possível conversão de um a outro de modo a explorar a visualização e a representação para a obtenção do conceito a ser formulado pelos estudantes ao final do nível de escolaridade em que se encontram por meio de uma compreensão relacional. Com isso, acredita-se que a formação do pensamento geométrico deveria ser consolidada. As análises identificaram que, nos livros didáticos destinados aos dois primeiros anos, o conceito é bem colocado, por meio de histórias criativas e imaginativas ou relações com objetos do cotidiano do aluno, o que torna possível estabelecer a conversão e, assim, atingir o objetivo de formar um construto mental sobre polígonos. Já na segunda coleção isso não ocorre, uma vez que a denominação em língua natural de polígono é, constantemente, associada ao registro figural de região poligonal e não de polígono. Conclui-se haver uma ruptura no desenvolvimento conceitual que pode ocasionar danos no aprendizado do conceito.
CLASSICAL JAVANESE LITERATURE WULANGREH FROM SURAKARTA PALACE: STUDY OF ISLAMIC TOURISM
Authors: Ismawati Esti - , Warsito Warsito , Anindita Kun Andyan
Published: August 2023

Classical Javanese literary works have many variations, one of which is the work entitled Wulangreh (teaching with dedication) written by King Pakubuwana IV of the Surakarta palace when Indonesia was still under Dutch colonial rule. This study aims to describe the beauty of universal Islamic cultural values in this book, which was published in the 18th century but is still being used today. The question answered is, are the universal cultural values in the book still relevant today? What values attract tourists to come and learn about them? The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a hermeneutic approach triangulated with the opinion of cultural experts. The data was obtained by interpreting the thoughts of King Pakubuwana IV written in the book and interviews with Kanjeng Yusdianto, a traditional leader of the Surakarta palace and the head of the Radya Pustaka museum, Didik Suharjono. The results of the analysis show that the values in the book can be a reference for the world because of their universal nature, including the values of equality, multiculturalism, and civilization. The beauty of the language and the message conveyed by the King is very touching, especially if tourists want to come to Surakarta to see directly Wulangreh, the tomb of King Pakubuwana IV, the Radya Pustaka museum, and the Surakarta Palace. The religious and cultural values of Islam in the book can be used as provisions for readers in facing life today. Wulangreh, Pakubuwana IV Tomb, Surakarta Palace, and Radya Pustaka Museum are icons of religious and cultural tourism destinations in the recommended Era 5.0.
RELIGIOUS TOURISM AS A HALAL TOURISM ATTRACTIONS
Authors: Ismanto Kuat , Rofiq Ahmaq
Published: August 2023

This study aims to describe and analyze the contribution of religious tourism to the development of halal tourism in the regions. Religious tourism in this study includes Islamic religious-based tourist attractions, Islamic traditions, Islamic festivals, and Islamic local wisdom. This research was carried out in Pekalongan City, which is known as “Kota Santri” and its people are known to be religious. This study is categorized as field research. Two types of data are needed in this study, primary and secondary. Primary data is explored through observation and interviews, while secondary data is obtained through documentation studies on books, journal articles, research reports, websites, and so on. The data analysis method uses a content analysis strategy. From this study, it was concluded that this City has religious tourism in the form of Islamic traditions and cultures, Islamic festivals, Islamic local wisdom, and distinctive heritage. Of the various attractions of Islamic tourism, it can be an interesting halal tourism attraction. However, only some of them have been packaged into regional tourist products. To increase the number and strengthen regional halal tourism, it is necessary to identify, explore, and package into halal tourism products. The development of regional halal tourism that ignores religious tourism will lose the spirit of halal tourism.
Reflections on development and fishermen’s survival in Gwadar, Pakistan
Authors: Ullah Shakir , Khan Usman , Ma Jianfu , Rahman Khalil Ur , Ali Turi Jamshid
Published: August 2023

This study explores the marginalization of a poor fishing community in Gwadar, Pakistan. The study provides an insight into how different levels of power, such as hidden, visible/pluralist, and invisible ideological powers, are used in policy arenas to hinder fishers’ access to participatory spaces, decision-making, and resource use. By employing Gaventa’s power cubes analytical model, we analyze fishers’ experiences and prevailing scenarios. Qualitative research methods were used to collect data, including in-depth interviews and participant observation. The finding shows that the interests of the fishing community in fishery policies and ongoing development projects are excluded both with intention and unintentionally. The exclusion of the local fisher community from key spaces brings interruptions and transformations that influence their lives. Due to this, they are induced to join insurgent groups to confront exclusion-based policies in Gwadar, Pakistan.
Influence of contemporary warming on landscape-zonal systems of the East-European sub-continent: Predictive empirical-statistical modeling
Authors: Kolomyts Erland G.
Published: August 2023

Presented in the given article regional geo-ecological prognoses are based on the construction of discrete empirical-statistical models of zonal and regional ecosystems. The analysis was carried out on the examples of the flat territories of the Volga River basin, as well as the northern macro-slope of the Main Caucasian ridge. Regional landscape-ecological calculations and mapping were carried out according to the global climatic models GISS-1988 and E GISS-2007 belong­ing to the family of models of general atmospheric circulation. The strategy of geo-ecological prognosis was as follows: first to identify the selected ecosystem objects (either zonal type of plant formations and regional kinds of landscape) to certain values of contemporary climatic conditions and then to estimate the most probable transformation of the revealed ecological niches of the given objects according to the expected climatic changes for the given prognostic date. The geo-ecological analysis has been performed using mainly two types of empirical models: (a) informational, describing the geo-component interrelations, serving as a basis for the regional bank of their ecological niches that characterizes their parametric space; (b) “fuzzy” set-theoretical models, describing the polysystem units of landscape-zonal organization by operations with the ecological niches as descriptive vectors. Predictions of ecosystem transformations include two stages of analysis: (1) evaluation of the probabilities of changes in the functional states of ecosystems and (2) calculations of the rates of ecosystem transformations. Quantitative predictive analysis is carried out by means of operations with the hydro-thermal niches of zonal-regional ecosystems. The ecological estimates of forthcoming global warming refer first of all to the functional but not structural-morphological prediction. The most probable directions and degree of conversion of the ecosystem are estimated by the maximum values of transformation. The algorithms of predictive calculations are described in detail for both stages of analysis. The results of the zonal-regional prognostic analysis are presented in both graphic-analytical models and small-scale maps.
Corpos trans, biopoder e os (não) lugares
Authors: Fraga Lucimary Leiria , Lucas Doglas Cesar , Wermuth Maiquel Ângelo Dezordi
Published: August 2023

Este artigo objetiva refletir acerca da existência Trans no espaço social, compreendendo que (e se) estes corpos são, diuturnamente, invisibilizados em nome de uma matriz cis heterossexual ainda vigente, a qual atravessa as singularidades divergentes, propagando e ressignificando ferramentas oriundas, também, do biopoder. Preliminarmente, atenta-se para a importância do entendimento de que, na atualidade, não há mais que se falar em mulher enquanto essência, eis que não existe uma ideia única acerca do que é “ser mulher”, pois cada indivíduo, por intermédio de seus corpos e discursos, (des) constrói-se no cotidiano constantemente. Busca-se, assim, responder à seguinte problemática: As práticas sociais (ainda) binárias e excludentes produzem (não) lugares destinados aos os corpos Trans? A metodologia adotada mescla análise e interpretação. O estudo justifica-se diante da urgente necessidade de se problematizar os mecanismos de poder que cotidianamente elencam quais corpos podem transitar em determinados espaços, produzindo, para além de uma hierarquização social, contextos de desigualdade. Por fim, atenta-se para a necessidade de se pensar e fomentar, a partir da discussão levantada, e da realidade de exclusão Trans evidenciada, alternativas de emancipação diante dos mecanismos de desprezo ao diferente, os quais violam diuturnamente estas vivências, e negam direitos a quem se reconhece como tal.

Optimization of the Microscopic Method of Observing of the Oleogel Structure
Authors: Zima J. , Nováková E. , Mikušová V. , Šupolíková M.
Published: August 2023

The subject of the research was the oleogel structure of the OraMAF oral suspension, containing a mixture of active substances in which the oleogel environment is formed by purified olive oil in combination with soy lecithin (SL) and sorbitan tristearate (STS). The objective of the research was the development of an optimal methodology for the work process, enabling microscopic observation of the structure of the oleogel suspension. Purified olive oil structured with a combination of gelators SL and STS with the addition of a solid phase of fucoidan (F) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) powders was used for the study as an alternative to OraMAF suspension. The sedimentation method of separation of the medium and staining of solid phases of the suspension brought the expected results, allowing the observation of the network structure of the gel, which consisted of interlaced gelator fibers assembling into star formations. The most interesting structures were clearly the star-like structures created from the star-shaped microtubules trapping the CS and F solid particles, colored blue.

Published: August 2023

During the development of medicinal forms (eye drops), it is necessary to consider several parameters, so that the medicine is nonirritating to the eye and, at the same time, has the desired effect. We prepared eye drops containing dexamethasone or its water-soluble salt in a 0.1% concentration. We compared suspension eye drops (with dexamethasone) and solution eye drops (with dexamethasone sodium phosphate) without viscosity adjustment as well as with viscosity adjustment by adding chitosan low molecular weight (LMW) with the mass-produced product Unidexa 1%. Acidity (pH), surface tension, density, viscosity, and irritability were evaluated. An in vitro or ex vivo test on human erythrocytes (red blood cells [RBCs]) was used to test irritability. Hemolysis of RBC was monitored by determining hemoglobin spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 550 nm. The addition of chitosan 0.1% as a viscosity-increasing agent reduced the irritation potential of the experimental eye drops.
Assessing the Socio-Cultural Values of Kulla Stone House in the Cross-Border Region of Kosovo, Albania and Montenegro
Authors: Thaçi Kaltrina , Jerliu Florina
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this paper is to assess the socio-cultural values of kulla, a traditional Albanian stone house found in the cross-border region of Kosovo, Albania, and Montenegro. Despite being recognized for its historical and cultural significance in respective countries, kulla as a vernacular heritage has not been commonly assessed for its distinct regional heritage values. To address this gap, the study draws on existing literature and field investigations in three countries. The findings suggest that kullas have retained much of their authenticity, and that its most distinguished regional values are historical, social, and traditional values, as well as architectural one.

Rainfall is the height of rainwater that falls on a flat area, assuming it doesn't evaporate, doesn't seep, and doesn't flow. Rain levels are measured in mm (millimeters). The target of the research being conducted is in Badung Regency, Bali because Bali is a tourist area that is often visited by tourists and from Indonesian itself, so predictions of meteorology, such as rainfall will greatly impact tourism. In this test, predictions use the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) method, using daily weather data from the BMKG from 2010 to 2020 as training data and daily weather data for 2021 as prediction data. Based on the test results above, the results show that the two LSTM tests with LSTM Model 128.64 and LSTM Model 64.32 have low MAE and MAPE error values. From First Scenario, the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) value is 8.97246598930908 and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) value is 1.7657206683278308%. From Second Scenario, the Mean Absolute Error is 9.706669940783014 and Mean Absolute Percentage Error is 1.9028466692362323%. From the MAE and MAPE values obtained in these two scenarios, it can be proven that from the evaluation results of Rainfall predictions in Badung Regency, Bali, the predictions can be said to be very accurate because they have an error value of less than 10.

Google Forms software is an online application which users can create form for various purpose. The application can store information or data that has been provided by the form fillers. The form fillers are merely identified by their institutional email's domain or those with the access link to the make response for each question provided in an online form. The use of third-party applications certainly reduces the sense of trust in the security of the data provided. Therefore, a digital form application design was created with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The aim is to maintain the security of the data provided by the form filler and ensure that the fillers are those with the authority.

Humans have needs that must be met, one of which is the need for food, but food prices often change. Factors that affect price changes occur because the amount of demand is high while the supply is small. Making predictions about price changes will be very helpful to get an idea of the pattern of price changes. Therefore making predictions from price patterns is useful for providing information to the public. Predictions regarding price changes can be made using many methods. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) are several methods that can be used to predict time series data, these two methods can provide an overview of the predictions made. The results of the study show that both algorithms have good results in terms of the the evaluation value. The evaluation results showed no significant difference between the two algorithms. The evaluation value of the rice commodity showed that ELM tended to be better with MAE values of 6,721, MAPE 0.061%, MSE 115,281, RMSE 10,737 and CV 3,699%, while LSTM with MAE 31,707, MAPE 0.286%, MSE 1927.633, RMSE 43.905 and CV 3.655%.
