Secara ekonimi penjualan via online adalah salah satu strategi untuk
meningkatkan produktifitas penjualan. Di era modern ini penjualan via
online (gofood) sangatlah penting, karena banyak pelanggan yang mulai
menggunakan aplikasi gofood untuk memesan makanan tanpa harus keluar
rumah. Dengan mendaftarkan usahanya via gofood, selain bersaing dagang
via online juga dapat mempromosikan usaha dagangan secara otomatis.
Dengan adanya program pendaftaran usaha via online (gofood) dari
mahasiswa kkn Universitas Bhayangkara, para pedagang didesa Tambak
cemandi, kecamatan Sedati kab. Sidoarjo tempat kami melaksanakan KKN
(Kuliah Kerja Nyata) banyak yang berminat untuk didaftarkan usahanya
via online (gofood). Tidak hanya mendaftarkan pedagang via Online,
mahasiswa Universitas Bhayangkara juga membuatkan baner, logo, stiker
dan desain kemasan. Tetapi Untuk baner pengusaha tidak dapat
memasangnya secara langsung tanpa ada konfirmasi dari pihak gofood.
Karena, jika pedagang memasang baner tanpa ada konfirmasi dari pihak
gojek dapat dituntut secara hukum oleh pihak gojek karna di baner terdapat
logo gofood yang memiliki hak cipta (pasal 40 ayat (1) f undang-undang
nomor 28 tahun 2014 tengtang hak cipta).
Dari segi pendidikan,
mahasiswa Universitas Bhayangkara Surabaya mengajar di Sekolah MI

Maximizing Potential : 5W+1H Reading Comprehension Strategy for Student with Moderate Intellectual Disability
Authors: Azmi Hanita Nur , Primana Linda
Published: October 2024

This study aims to enhance the reading comprehension skills of elementary school students with moderate intellectual disabilities through a single-subject method. In this study, the researchers use the 5W + 1H strategy to help students understand the meaning of the text. The research data was collected using observation guidelines, which then will be analyzed by using pretest-posttest techniques to assess the subject’s reading comprehension skills improvements. Teaching the 5W + 1H principle - which emphasized the question words why and how using visual images and keywords - was found to be effective in enhancing the subject’s reading comprehension. This finding also explained that this method could maximize the potential of students with moderate intellectual disabilities. The instruction on the question words why and how was particularly effective in increasing the subject's understanding of questions as well as leading him to provide correct and contextually appropriate responses. However, using visual images as a learning aid, especially for why and how questions, seemed less effective, as evidenced by the subject's reliance on keywords within the sentence. In the future, this strategy can be employed by educators to enhance reading comprehension skills for students with moderate intellectual disabilities.

The role of platforms in the journalistic ecosystem: innovative business models of Italian media outlets
Authors: Serafini Luca , Bomba Mauro , Ruggiero Christian
Published: October 2024

Increased dependence of the news media system on online platforms has caused a readjustment of the traditional business models that supported media enterprises until a few years ago, which in some cases has resulted in a redefinition of the boundaries of the journalistic field. To test the interplay between different strategies of relationship with platforms and a different location within the field, the paper considered four Italian news outlets. Two, Will Media Italia and Factanza, are newcomers, information projects anchored in the logic of online platforms and disseminated almost exclusively on social media. Two, The Post Internazionale and Domani, are inhabitants of the field, media outlets with greater links to the traditional logic of journalism. Through semi-structured interviews conducted with selected members of the four news media outlets, the study aims at answering two key-questions. First: what forms of revenue are the media outlets analyzed aiming for in order to maintain their economic sustainability? How do the characteristics of media outlets influence the use of different forms of advertising, even as a function of the response of the online and platform environments they inhabit, albeit with different strategies? Second-and closely related-how is it preserved, the editorial autonomy of the media outlets analyzed? That is, how do these media outlets attempt to make their business both economically sustainable and not overly dependent on forms of monetization generated by the platforms?

Authors: Jama Karolus Budiman , Menggo Sebastianus
Published: October 2024

The present research undertakes a cultural analysis of ethnic verses and songs from Malakan to uncover their underlying philosophical thought. Understanding these works' fundamental principles and concepts is essential to convey their valuable knowledge, which ultimately shapes and reinforces values in future generations. Cultural-linguistic theory by Sharifin (2021) was utilized to find out if Malakan ethnic song verses include cultural features. This descriptive-qualitative study method used observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and Focus Group Discussions with 40 participants from eight communities from July to September 2023. The findings indicate that the auditory elements of lyrics, words, phrases, and clauses serve as a means of conveying the cultural values of the Malakan people when singing four traditional songs as a component of their daily lives. In addition, several values were derived from the meaning of the four-song lyrics, including patience, responsibility, commitment, resilience, harmony, togetherness, sacrifice, empathy, and sympathy, which ultimately serve as a reference for human behavior in the Malakan community. The findings suggest that storing traditional artworks linked to poetry and musical works is advisable. Through the utilization of poetry and musical compositions, people could find cultural components that can be reused as indigenous content for the study of cultural arts and local languages.

Current methods to farm tunas, especially Atlantic bluefin tunas (ABFTs; Thunnus thynnus), are unsustainable. This is driving a movement towards closed-cycle ABFT aquaculture, i.e., farming tuna from spawning and hatching to slaughter on land, to try and meet the demand for these fish. Tunas are not domesticated species and thus face different challenges in terms of closed-cycle aquaculture when compared to other farmed fish species. Tunas also possess unique physiological traits such as regional endothermy and ram ventilation which affect their needs and how they are farmed. No current global standards exist to measure or monitor ABFT welfare in captivity, because there are many unknown factors surrounding ABFT welfare in aquaculture settings. There is a need to conduct studies that measure the baseline physiological parameters of ABFT in closed-cycle systems. Issues such as manipulation of breeding cycles, tank design, and slaughter procedures need attention and further research is required before such welfare indicators can be established. Stress is an overarching concern for animal welfare. In particular, pre-slaughter crowding and stress negatively affect the quality of the meat produced due to lactic acid buildup in the red muscle. Further research needs to be conducted throughout all life stages in terms of both animal welfare implications and the commercial viability of farmed ABFTs.

Introduction

This study aimed to prepare cholesterol and stearic acid-based solid lipid nanoparticles of gabapentin (GAB-SLNs) for protection against streptozotocin (STZ)-induced retinal injury in rats.

Methods

We prepared four preparations of GAB-SLNs using a hot high-shear homogenization ultrasonication process, and the best formulation was selected and tested for biological activity. The retinal injury was brought in male adult albino rats while gabapentin doses continued for 6 weeks. Six groups of rats were assigned as the vehicle, diabetic, diabetic + gabapentin (10–20 mg/kg), and diabetic + GAB-SLNs (10–20 mg/kg). GAB-SLN#2 was selected as the optimized formulation with high entrapment efficacy (EE%, 98.64% ± 1.97%), small particle size (185.65 ± 2.41 nm), high negative Zeta potential (−32.18 ± 0.98 mV), low polydispersity index (0.28 ± 0.02), and elevated drug release (99.27% ± 3.48%). The TEM image of GAB-SLN#2 revealed a smooth surface with a spherical shape.

Results

GAB-SLNs provided greater protection against retinal injury than free gabapentin as indicated by the histopathology data which demonstrated more organization of retinal layers and less degeneration in ganglion cell layer in rats treated with GAB-SLN#2. Further, GAB-SLN#2 reduced the inflammatory proteins (IL-6/JAK2/STAT3) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

Conclusion

The preparation of GAB-SLNs enhanced the physical properties of gabapentin and improved its biological activity as a neuroprotectant. Further studies are warranted to validate this technique for the use of oral gabapentin in other neurological disorders.

Background

Studies have shown that changes in the frequency of oral microorganisms may play a key role in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, no research has been conducted on the oral fungal composition in AD-patients. The present study aimed to investigate the changes in the frequency of oral fungal composition, the antifungal susceptibility, and the enzymatic profiles of oral fungal composition in patients suffering from AD compared to non-AD individuals.

Materials and methods

In the present analytical cross-sectional study during 12 months, 76 hospitalized patients with AD were matched with 76 individuals without AD. A sterile serum physiology-moistened cotton-tipped swab was used to sample the mouth area. All swabs were cultured on Sabouraud Chloramphenicol Agar. Fungal identified were confirmed through the PCR-sequencing techniques. Enzyme activity index (EAI) for important pathogenic factors including proteinase, esterase and hemolysin was measured using relevant protocols. The susceptibility to 8 antifungal agents (nystatin, voriconazole, itraconazole, fluconazole, posaconazole, amphotericin B, 5-fluorocytosine, and caspofungin) against fungal strains obtained from AD-patients was evaluated according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines, document M38-A2 for filamentous fungi, and document M27-A4 for yeasts.

Results

The results showed that compared to the non-AD individuals, the prevalence of oral fungal composition in AD group was 1.6 times higher. Candida albicans was the most common fungal species isolated from oral swab samples of AD group (n=53, 80%) and non-AD group (n=28, 40%), and the diversity of the oral fungal composition in AD-patients were lower than non-AD individuals. Among the 3 investigated virulence factors, a statistically significant difference was shown in terms of hemolysin activity level between the two studied groups (p<0.05) and the activity level of esterase and proteinase enzymes did not show a significant difference in the two studied groups (p>0.05). The results showed that almost all of the tested isolates were susceptible to nystatin, the most widely prescribed antifungal to treat superficial infections, and only 1.69 % (2/118) of the Candida isolates were resistant to this antifungal drug.

Conclusion

Understanding the changes in the frequency of oral fungal composition the antifungal susceptibility, and the enzymatic profiles of oral fungal composition in patients suffering from AD compared to non-AD individuals makes it possible to better understand the etiology of this disease.

Objective

This study aimed to explore the relationship between total burden of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and daytime and nighttime heart rate variability (HRV) parameters.

Method

Consecutive patients with nondisabling ischemic cerebrovascular events were recruited from the cerebrovascular disease clinic of Changzhou Second People's Hospital between January 2022 and June 2023. A total of 144 enrolled participants were divided into a mild CSVD group (74 patients) and a moderate-to-severe CSVD group (70 patients) based on total burden of CSVD. Various HRV parameters measured during 24-h, 4-h daytime, and 4-h nighttime periods (including natural log–transformed [ln] root mean square of successive RR interval differences [RMSSD], ln absolute power of the high-frequency band [0.15–0.4 Hz] [HF], ln absolute power of the low-frequency band [0.04–0.15 Hz][LF], and LF-to-HF ratio [LF/HF]) were then assessed in the 2 groups. Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between total burden of CSVD and HRV parameters. HRV parameters with P-value < 0.05 in correlation analysis were included in the multivariable logistic regression analysis, and restricted cubic spline analysis was performed to assess dose-response relationships.

Results

Daytime 4-h lnRMSSD (r = –0.221; P = 0.008) and 4-h lnHF (r = –0.232; P = 0.005) were negatively correlated with total burden of CSVD, and daytime 4-h lnLF/HF (r = 0.187; P = 0.025) was positively correlated with total burden of CSVD. There was no correlation between nighttime HRV parameters and total burden of CSVD. After adjustments were made for potential confounders, daytime 4-h lnRMSSD (OR = 0.34; 95% CI: 0.16–0.76), 4-h lnHF (OR = 0.57; 95% CI: 0.39–0.84), and 4-h lnLF/HF (OR = 2.12; 95% CI: 1.18–3.82) were independent predictors of total burden of CSVD (all P < 0.05). S-shaped linear associations with moderate-to-severe total burden of CSVD were seen for daytime 4h-lnRMSSD (P for nonlinearity = 0.543), 4-h lnHF (P for nonlinearity = 0.31), and 4-h lnLF/HF (P for nonlinearity = 0.502).

Conclusion

Daytime parasympathetic HRV parameters are independent influencing factors of total burden of CSVD and may serve as potential therapeutic observation indicators for CSVD.

Geological disasters in the Emei to Mianning section of the Chengdu–Kunming Railway located in southwestern China occur frequently, and many debris flow gullies are distributed along the line. Debris flows often cause damage to the railway and highway that threatens the safe operation of the original line and the double-track line. Along the railway, the debris flow outbreak risks are analyzed for 53 debris flow gullies using field survey, remote sensing interpretation, and numerical simulation. Their developmental characteristics were judged according to the code. The results are used for numerical simulation of debris flow to further determine the movement characteristics and the accumulation range of debris flow. The results are combined with high-definition satellite images to analyze the form of the railway passing from the mouth of the ditch and the simulation results to determine the impact on the safe operation of the Chengdu–Kunming Railway when the debris flow erupts. Finally, disaster prevention and mitigation projects are proposed, and the prevention and control effects of the proposed works are validated.

Published: October 2024

Background

Increased oxidative stress due to aging can lead to increased bone loss. The most abundant form of vitamin E, namely α-tocopherol, has high antioxidant properties and biological activity; however, its effect on osteoporosis has not been well studied in humans. We aimed to investigate the association between dietary vitamin E (α-tocopherol) and osteoporosis among older adults in the United States.

Methods

This cross-sectional study analyzed data on older adults in the United States aged ≥50 years from the 2007–2010, 2013–2014 and 2017–2020 pre-pandemic cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Sample-weighted multivariate regression models were used, with adjustments for relevant confounders.

Results

This study comprised 5,800 individuals with available data on dietary intake and bone mineral density of hip and spine. The mean participant age was 61.4 (standard deviation, 8.7) years, and approximately 9.9% had osteoporosis. High vitamin E intake was significantly associated with a reduced risk of osteoporosis (odds ratio, 0.96, 95% confidence interval, 0.93–0.98). In addition, there was evidence of interaction between dietary vitamin E and prior fracture on preventing osteoporosis.

Conclusions

Our study indicated a linear association between dietary vitamin E levels and osteoporosis in an older population in the United States. Further research is required to explore the potential effects of different forms of vitamin E on osteoporosis.
