Authors: Chen Zhao-Rong , Zhang Guo-Ming , Chen Jun , Chen Hai-Zhi , Li Fang , Li Chang-Qi
Published: July 2023

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the two mainstream medical practices in China's healthcare system. Postgraduate students largely determine the development and advancement of TCM; therefore, their mental health and academic achievement are vital to their performance as practitioners.
We conducted a longitudinal study to provide information on the changes in mental health before and after TCM training and the relationship between mental health and academic performance among postgraduate students. All participants were enrolled in full-time programs at a TCM university in
China, and they completed our questionnaire in the first month of registering as postgraduate students and at the end of training 3 years later. The results showed that the rate of positive symptoms for mental distress among TCM postgraduates was higher (12.2%) at the beginning of the first
postgraduate year than at the end of training (10.4%). Previous mental health status and comprehensive academic performance were predictors of mental health status at the second measurement. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Gelombang modernitas di era informasi teknologi yang sangat terbuka mewarnai kehidupan komunitas milenial. Kemajuan teknologi dinikmati sedemikian rupa, namun di sisi lain dampak yang ditimbulkannya memberikan efek turbulence pada mentalitas masyarakat millennial. Jadilah mereka sebagai komunitas yang merasa terhempas dan sunyi dalam keramaian dan merasa teralienasi dalam glamuritas kehidupan modern. Tidak aneh anomali sosial sering mawarnai kehidupan. Ada anak membunuh orang tua, dan orang tua menghamili anaknya bahkan guru agama memperkosa santrinya. Semua ini merupakan akumulasi efek dari hadirnya abad digital yang dapat meruntuhkan mentalitas masyarakat millennial. Di sinilah pentingnya urban sufisme untuk menjadi media dan “rumah” bagi mereka yang merasa terhempas dalam badai dan sunami modernism

 

Millennials are a community or society that lives in the digital age, which is an era where human roles are slowly but surely replaced by machine roles. The wave of modernity in the era of very open information technology colors the life of the millennial community. Technological progress is enjoyed in such a way, but on the other hand, the impact it causes has a turbulent effect on the mentality of the millennial community. Be them as a community that feels crushed and lonely in the crowd and feels alienated in the glamor of modern life. It is not strange that social anomalies often rise in life. There are children killing their parents, and parents impregnating their children and even religious teachers raping their students. All of this is an accumulation of effects from the presence of the digital age that can undermine the mentality of the millennial society. This is where the importance of urban Sufism to become a medium and a "home" for those who feel crushed in the storm and sunami of modernism.

Published: July 2023

The rapid development of technology has facilitated various aspects of human life, including in conducting various buying and selling transactions online through marketplaces such as Tokopedia which has the position as the marketplace with the largest value in Indonesia. However, in 2020 Tokopedia experienced a case of personal data leakage, around 91 million Tokopedia user account data was hacked which was sold on the dark web at a price of 5000 dollars. Regarding this incident, the Indonesian Consumer Community, chaired by David Tobing, then filed a lawsuit against PT Tokopedia and the Ministry of Communication and Informatics at the Central Jakarta District Court. Unfortunately, at that time Indonesia did not have a dispute resolution mechanism for cases of leakage of personal data protection and did not yet have a Personal Data Protection Act, so it was very difficult to carry out the trial process. Therefore, the problem in this paper is: How is the Legal Analysis of Leakage Cases of Users' Personal Data on Tokopedia? This paper is normative research that uses primary and secondary legal sources. Data collection was carried out through literature study and all data collected was then analyzed qualitatively. In the end, the Judge through Interlocutory Decision has decided to reject the lawsuit. In the interlocutory decision, the Judge decided on three matters, namely: 1. Declared that the exceptions of the Defendants were accepted and granted; 2. Declare that the District Court has no authority to try the “a quo“ case; and 3. Ordering the Plaintiff to pay court costs in the amount of Rp 516,000.

Published: July 2023

Seed germination is an important stage of growth and reproduction and plays an important role in the life cycle of spermatophyte. It is co-determined by both genetic and environmental factors, and plant hormone regulation may be a highly conservative mechanism. Coix lachryrma-jobi (coix) is a grain with balanced nutrition for medicine and food and has substantial production value. It is an important part of agricultural production, and the efficiency of seed germination after sowing is a key link. In this study, coix species “small white shell Xingren” was used as the experimental material, and changes in gene expression levels and metabolite enrichment in seeds were identified by transcriptome and metabonomic analysis before and after seed germination. A total of 599 metabolites, including those from amino acid metabolism, sugar metabolism, and fatty acid metabolism, were significantly increased in germinating coix. Simultaneously, 10,929 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, and functional clusters of genes were also significantly clustered in hormone-signaling and glucose and fatty acid metabolism. In addition, this study found that a considerable number of hormone-signaling genes were significantly up-regulated during seed germination, activating multiple metabolic processes. The results of our conjoint analysis of multi omics showed that glucose and fatty acid metabolism played an important role in seed germination under hormone regulation.

Student-Specific Ethics in Clinical Clerkships
Authors: MENG Kwang-ho
Published: July 2023

The importance and the role of ethics courses in medical school education has expanded significantly in recent years. Along with this development, most of the medical schools have provided with the concepts and skills needed to deal successfully with the issues that they will confront as physicians in the future. But medical students are not physicians, and the issues they face are quite different from those faced by physicians.
Accordingly, many existing ethics curricula fail to address the subtle yet critical ethical issues that medical students encounter everyday in their clinical clerkships.
This paper reviews several literatures on the current status of the student-specific ethics in the United States, and calls for a special attention of medical educators in this particular area in Korea.

Authors: RHEE Chung-Ku , PARK Geun-Hwan
Published: July 2023

Both medical ethics and medical English are being taught in most of the premedical courses in Korea since both subjects are considered to be very important in medical education. We have taught medical ethics using English texts in medical English class of premedical course. Students were given tasks of various tests, reports, and presentations in English and part of the lectures were given in English. We have investigated the effectiveness of this type of teaching medical ethics in English using questionnaire survey to premedical students, medical students, and residents who have completed medical ethics in English class at their premedical periods. The survey questioned mainly in the following three areas; if they could understand medical ethics and it was helpful in making ethical decisions at their resident time although it was taught in English, if the class was helpful for their advanced medical ethics class at their medical course and making ethical decisions at their resident time, and if the English they have learned in the class has helped their study of medicine through the medical school and resident time.
Most of them responded favorably to all the three questions.
In conclusion, teaching medical ethics in medical English class in premedical course appears to be an effective way of teaching both medical ethics and medical English at the same time.
Generalizable Classification of UHF Partial Discharge Signals in Gas-Insulated HVDC Systems Using Neural Networks
Authors: Seitz Steffen , Lindenberg Christopher , Tetzlaff Ronald , Götz Thomas , Schlegel Stephan
Published: July 2023

Undetected partial discharges (PDs) are a safety critical issue in high voltage (HV) gas insulated systems (GIS). While the diagnosis of PDs under AC voltage is well-established, the analysis of PDs under DC voltage remains an active research field. A key focus of these investigations is the classification of different PD sources to enable subsequent sophisticated analysis.

In this paper, we propose and analyze a neural network-based approach for classifying PD signals caused by metallic protrusions and conductive particles on the insulator of HVDC GIS, without relying on  pulse sequence analysis features.  

In contrast to previous approaches, our proposed model can discriminate the studied PD signals obtained at negative and positive potentials, while also generalizing to unseen operating voltage multiples. 

Additionally, we compare the performance of time- and frequency-domain input signals  and explore the impact of different normalization schemes to mitigate the influence of free-space path loss between the sensor and defect location.

Many are the factors that impact economic progress; howsoever, the Banking sector directly impacts its economy. Financial assistance of all the firms and companies had to be backed by the robust banking system of an economy. The banking sector is sensitive since they are the first to hit whenever an economic crisis or economic boom happens. Banks should survive intense competition by keeping new technology, innovative products, investors interest in focus, etc. Depending only on financial data and unorganized accounting ratios is inadequate. Therefore, financial performance is necessitated to be rigorously analysed. In this study, two public sector banks, the Canara Bank and Bank of Baroda (BOB), and two private sector banks, namely Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India (ICICI) and Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC), will be comparatively evaluated.

Abstract. Introduction. Thanks to the use of renal replacement therapy at the current stage of medical development, full medical and social rehabilitation of patients with end-stage chronic renal failure is possible. The key to effective programmed hemodialysis is the formation of adequate permanent vascular access. Ensuring the optimal use and functioning of vascular access is a multidisciplinary problem. Currently, none of the known options for access is ideal, but the native arteriovenous fistula meets the requirements to a great erextent. Complications from vascular access for hemodialysis remain relevant for their solution today. The most common complication of vascular access is arteriovenous fistula thrombosis. For patients with end-stage renal failure who are on programmed hemodialysis, thrombosis of vascular access is a great danger, which ultimately can lead to the impossibility of further hemodialysis and it is the main reason for hospitalization and high mortality of this contingent of patients and needs an urgent solution.

Purpose of the work improving the immediate and long-term outcomes of patients receiving programmed hemodialysis treatment by determining the feasibility of thrombectomy for early and late arteriovenous fistula thrombosis in the postoperative period as a method of ensuring the effective functioning of the permanent vascular access.

Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 17 patients who underwent thrombectomy from a subcutaneous “fistula” vein of the upper extremity was performed. The age of the patients was 49.0 (44.0-61.0) years. By gender, the studied patients were distributed as follows: women - 9 (53 %), men - 8 (47 %). Among 17 (100 %) operated patients, 12 (71 %) had late thrombosis, 5 (29%) had early arteriovenous fistula thrombosis.

Results. Of 5 (100 %) patients with early arteriovenous fistula thrombosis, thrombectomy was effective in 2 (40 %) patients (p=0.038). On the other hand, in 12 (100 %) patients with late fistula thrombosis, thrombectomy was successful in only 4 (33 %) cases.

Conclusions. Neointimal hyperplasia is the main cause of progressive arteriovenous fistula stenosis and subsequent thrombosis. Thrombectomy is indicated for fistula thrombosis in the early postoperative period (up to 30 days after formation the last one). Thrombectomy alone is not enough to restore the patency of the permanent vascular access in the long term, and the final treatment requires its reconstruction at an early stage or the creation of a new arteriovenous fistula.
On Groves mechanisms for costly inclusion
Authors: Mackenzie Andrew , Trudeau Christian
Published: July 2023

We investigate Groves mechanisms for economies where (i) a social outcome specifies a group of winning agents, and (ii) a cost function associates each group with a monetary cost. In particular, we characterize both (i) the class of cost functions for which there are Groves mechanisms such that the agents cover the costs through voluntary payments, and (ii) the class of cost functions for which there are envy‐free Groves mechanisms. It follows directly from our results that whenever production efficient and envy‐free allocations can be implemented in dominant strategies, this can moreover be done while funding production through voluntary payments.

Published: July 2023

Present study was conducted for the assessment of diurnal temperature range (DTR) in major cities of Punjab. Diurnal temperature range is the difference between the Monthly Maximum and Minimum temperature. This study provides more information than mean temperature. The purpose of the study was to calculate the spatial distribution of minimum and maximum temperature over Punjab and to assess the Diurnal Temperature range for annual and seasonal variation over the period of last 6 years (2010 to 2015). The first step in this research was to set up a new database of mean yearly maximum and minimum temperature from 6 stations of Punjab (Pakistan) which was Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Sargodha, Jhelum, Faisalabad and Lahore. For this, the data was collected by secondary data collection method. The secondary data of all the indicators was obtained from Bureau of statistics and Metrological department of Pakistan. The data of three indicators which are maximum temperature, minimum temperature and population of the selected cities of Punjab was taken for the same period of time. Different tools such as correlation, regression, scatter diagram and interpolation were used to tabulate the data. The analysis revealed that the selected 6 cities of Punjab showed decrease in diurnal temperature range in recent six years. It is found that when mean temperature is increased then the diurnal temperature range is decreased. In future it is compulsory to take positive steps for the plantation. Congested buildings can boost up minimum temperature more rapid then maximum temperature if there is any green belt or park present in it can help to control the extreme temperature.

General Linear Model is used to study the effectof phenotypic characters on milk yield i.e., year of calving, age at first calving, and dam’s parity onproductive traits under consideration. The lactation records of all parity are used for the analysis. Thedata on pedigrees, breeding, and performance records through analysis of variance procedure showsstatistically significant (P < 0.05) differences for the effect of 305 days milk yield and lactation length.The Least Squares Mean for lactation milk yield, age at first calving and lactation length are 2108.62 ±12.80 liters, 1574.49 ± 8.1 and 295.50 ± 1.47 days, respectively. The inclusive results depict thatbuffaloes calve in the winter season have the highest and most significant total milk yield. The data setcould be used as a phenotype for genome-wide association studies as a reference population.

Authors: Shahzad S. M.
Published: July 2023

The research article outlines Pakistan's fisheries industry output from 1950 to therecent past and fishery product trading from 1980 to 2011. Based on economic research, the findingsshow that fish output and export continuously rose year after year. Despite this, the pace ofdevelopment in fish output over the previous two decades has been quite modest compared to otheremerging nations. The research also shows that inland aquaculture output in Pakistan is quicklyoutpacing marine aquaculture. On the contrary, no marine aquaculture methods exist or are supportedto improve fish output. The article discusses and measures for fisheries sector security and futuredevelopment potential for coastal and non-coastal regions. In Pakistan, aquaculture has emerged as themost promising option to address fish demand, food security, livelihood, employment, and nationalGDP. Furthermore, it is critical to focus on marine aquaculture to restore marine fishing resources,which may generate livelihoods in coastal communities. Finally, the main idea of this article is toprovide developmental techniques for authorities to grow and expand the aquaculture industry, whichmight provide numerous options for livelihood support in Pakistan. The research uses methodologicaltriangulation for evaluating the on ground reality on a broader perspective and also an online surveywill be presented in it to evaluate the output of fish industry of Pakistan.
RISK DETERMINANTS THAT ESCALATE CARDIO VASCULAR DISORDERS
Authors: A. N. Sajed
Published: July 2023

Notwithstanding credible advances in cardiovascular health progress contributed byscientific studies during the preceding few decades, cardiovascular disease (CVD) relics a largenumber of deaths in developing as well as developed countries. Out of total of 161 articles screened.87 articles were excluded based on the preliminary scrutiny of abstract and titles and the study wasrestricted to remaining 74 articles to capture the most relevant literature. The risk factors of cardiovascular diseases have been recognized as modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Modifiablecardio- vascular risk factors involve tobacco usage, hypertension, elevated blood glucose,dyslipidemia, overweight, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), unhealthy diet, alcohol intake, lack ofphysical activity. The non modifiable cardio vascular risks are age, sex, family history and raciallocale. A public awareness of risk factors contributing cardio vascular disorders is imperative forhealth of individuals and suggested to investigate time and again during life. Risk factors identified inthis research are sufficient markers of changes in heart health during aging process. In future, riskfactors of cardio vascular diseases should be included in secondary classes’ syllabi for the earlyawareness and prevention of cardiovascular diseases in new generation. Public awareness should beenhanced through print and electronic media. Annual, work place surveys are required to be conductedfor early identification of cardio vascular disorders in workers of government and privateinstitutions/sectors, an effort that should be done on the part of employers to retain healthy and highquality employees.

Anting Yang Hilang: Analogi Tradisi Telingaan Aruu Suku Dayak Sebagai Inspirasi Penciptaan Karya Busana
Authors: Ayuningrat Luh Putu Diah , Sukmadewi Ida Ayu Kade Sri , Paramita Ni Putu Darmara Pradnya
Published: July 2023

Telingaan Aruu adalah tradisi memanjangkan telinga oleh orang-orang dari Suku Dayak. Tradisi memanjangkan telinga di kalangan Suku Dayak ini telah lama dilakukan secara turun temurun.  Pemanjangan daun telinga ini biasanya menggunakan pemberat berupa logam berbentuk lingkaran gelang dari tembaga yang bahasa kenyah di sebut "Belaong" . Dengan pemberat ini daun telinga akan terus memanjang hingga beberapa sentimeter. Namun tidak semua sub suku Dayak di Pulau Kalimantan puunya tradisi ini. Hanya beberapa kelompok saja yang mengenal budaya telinga panjang. Namun, hanya yang mendiami wilayah pedalaman, seperti masyarakat Dayak Kenyah, Dayak Bahau, Dayak Penan, Dayak Kelabit, Dayak Sa'ban, Dayak Kayaan, Dayak Taman, dan Dayak Punan menjadi inspirasi penulis dalam menciptakan karya Tugas Akhir yang digarap melalui proses penciptaan karya Frangipani. Melalui tahapan tersebut penulis dapat menciptakan karya melalui pendalaman tradisi kearifan lokal budaya Telingaan aruu yang kemudian diterapkan dalam  tiga kategori busana, yakni busana ready to wear, busana deluxe, dan busana Couture. Karya busana tersebut akan digarap melalui pendekatan Analogi dengan gaya busana Spirituality Classic Twisted, yang diberi judul “Anting yang Hilang”
I Wayan Ary Wijaya's Creative Process in Creating Digital Gamelan Music

Published: July 2023

This paper is to trace the creative process in composing Digital Gamelan Music (DGM) done by I Wayan Ary Wijaya a balinese artist. It a qualitative study by operating observation, documentation, and interview. Interview is done with I Wayan Arsa Wijaya and other related parties. DGM was created by Ary Wijaya from linking gamelan and music technology. DGM is another way to strengthen tradition and at the same time foster creativity by using the gamelan (traditionality) and the technology (modernity) as a medium of inspiration. It is found that DGM is composed using Panca Sthiti Ngawi Sani theory: inspiration stage (ngawirasa); exploration stage (ngawacak); conception stage (ngarencana); execution stage (ngewangun); presentation stage (ngebah). DGM as a terminology is still experiencing struggles in terms of concept definition, form, and creative work process. Besides that, the digital technology belongs to a product of capitalism.
Dosa Dalam Perspektif Biblis Dan Implikasi Pastoralnya
Authors: Manca Silvester
Published: July 2023

The Holly Bible provides a very complete view of the theme of sin. Scripture views sin as a matter of human relation with God and fellow creatures, not primarily as a violation of the law. Sin is also understood as a double-faced reality because sin corrupts the human relationship not only with God but also with others. Even sin destroys human existence and dignity. Moreover, Scripture never speaks of sin separately from the theological idea of God’s goodness and mercy. Thus, sin does not at all undo God’s plan to save man and the universe.

In this study, we wanted to know about the expert’s choice in scleral buckling via a questionnaire. The key to successful rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) management is to locate and seal all of the retinal breaks, which can be accomplished through scleral bucking (SB) or pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). We surveyed drainage of subretinal fluid in scleral buckling, the material of exoplanet used, and the success rate of scleral buckling. The use of cryotherapy, the spot number, and the subretinal fluid drainage did not affect the anatomical and visual outcomes. The existence of multiple retinal breaks was the only preoperative predictor linked to inferior anatomical outcomes. In the pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) group, there were fewer cases of retinal redetachment than in the scleral buckling group. Cryotherapy around the break is preferred to laser around the break as the success rate is 80% more compared with laser.

Stepping into the unknown: Reflections and learnings from the journey from social worker to researcher
Authors: Doebl Stefanie
Published: July 2023

Whilst social workers have skills and experiences that could be well suited to a research environment, moving from frontline social work to research can be daunting. Drawing from my own journey, I reflect on initial misconceptions and provide potential reflection points for others interested in undertaking research. I also suggest a selection of resources which may be relevant to social workers. By sharing my experiences, I offer an example of a journey from social worker to researcher. Future opportunities to expand this conversation are necessary and could be pursued by the Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers.
