Authors: Pikelj Kristina , Godec Petra , Cvetko Tešović Blanka
Published: March 2023

Removal of Posidonia oceanica banquettes from Sakarun beach (Dugi otok Island, Croatia) was a common practice to increase recreational use during the summer tourist season. The sandy part of the beach showed gradual erosion and has partially disappeared. Geological and geomorphological were conducted over nine-month period to investigate the relationship between the banquette removal and sediment loss. The results indicate that the continuous removal of sediment-laden posidonia banquette may cause a deficit in the beach sediment budget, the effects of which may not become apparent until several-year delay.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Hair has accompanied human development since the ancient time as a symbol of power, dominance, and strength. It has been perceived as a thing of beauty and a tool for sexual communication. Over the years, anthropologists have studied the body hair distribution particularly phalangeal hair; this is because it shows variation in relation to race, nationality and ethnic groups. Clinicians have also shown great interest in the study of bodily hairs due to its many useful biological functions, including dispersion of sweat gland products. There are few reports of distribution of mid-digital hair among some tribes in Nigeria but there is paucity of data among the Idoma tribe of Benue State. Hence, this study aimed to investigate and document the frequency of distribution of mid-digital hair among Idoma tribe of Benue State. Method: The study was community-based, descriptive, and cross-sectional with a sample size of 401. Data was collected using a closed-ended questionnaire that was administered by an interviewer following an examination of the mid-digital hair. Result: mid- digital hairs was present in 113 (28.2%) of the participants and absent in 288(71.8%) of the participants. The only significant socio-demographic characteristics among participants were the educational level with 7.754(0.051). Conclusion: The study indicated that less than one-third of the participants had mid-digital hair. Furthermore, the mid-digital hair distribution was sexually dimorphic, as it was more prevalent among the males than the females (ratio of 8: 6). The reason for the higher distribution in the males than females could be attributed to the hormonal difference in both genders.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Exercise induced Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome characterised by disintegration of the skeletal muscles and release of toxic intracellular contents into the plasma. It can be precipitated by strenuous exercise and its diagnosis can easily be missed by physicians. Soft tissue ultrasonography is an invaluable tool for evaluating patients with rhabdomyolysis especially in sub Saharan Africa where sophisticated imaging modalities like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomographic scanners are not readily available. Ultrasonography in this case is the commonly available modality. It is cheap and easier to use. It can aid in the diagnosis of suspected cases, help to determine extent of the disease, identify associated complications and also for monitoring disease progression. Spontaneous rhabdomyolysis following exercise has not been previously reported in our environment. Objectives: To report a case of exercise induced rhabdomyolysis in a 24 year old male patient. To highlight the importance of ultrasound in evaluating patients with rhabdomyolysis, describe the notable ultrasound findings and review relevant existing literature on this condition. Case Report: A 24 year old male with spontaneous rhabdomyolysis of the infra-umbilical segment of both recti abdominis muscles, who presented to a private ultrasound facility in Agbor, Delta state, Nigeria. His symptoms were; lower abdominal pain made worse with movements, and passage of dark red urine which developed spontaneously following a week history of intense physical exercise at a gymnasium. An ultrasound scanner of the Toshiba Medical systems Corp Model 2016 (Xario 100) with a 7 to 12 MHz linear array transducer was used to scan both recti abdominis muscles in different planes. Abnormal findings were noted involving the infra umbilical segment of both abdominal recti muscle belly. Notable findings were thickening of the muscle fascia, blurring of the fat planes, fat stranding, disorganization of the normal architectural pattern of the fibres as well as presence of hypoechoic lesions within the affected muscle segment. The images were frozen and the sonograms were acquired and saved. Conclusion: Ultrasonography is an indispensable tool for evaluating patients with exercise induced spontaneous rhabdomyolysis. This case study is of immense significance in developing affordable methods of image based diagnosis and investigation of rhabdomyolysis that also aids in standard clinical, laboratory and histopathological studies of the condition.

General Anaesthetic Agents and its Implication on the Cardiovascular System: A Systemic Review
Authors: Tamunobelema Dodiyi-Manuel Sotonye , Uruaka Christian Ifeanyi
Published: March 2023

Background: This review evaluates the possible cardiac side effects of general anesthetic agents upon usage. Cardiac as well as non-cardiac surgery may precipitate adverse events including ischaemia, diverse arrhythmias and reperfusion injury. Volatile and non-volatile anesthetic agents possess cardiovascular effects that can lead to depression of cardiac contractility, arterial pressure, ventricular resistance and reflex tachycardia. However, as not all studies have demonstrated improved outcomes, the risk for undesirable haemodynamic effects must be weighed against the possible benefits of using anaesthetic agents either pre-operatively, intra-operatively or post-operatively during both cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries as well as in patients with coronary artery disease. The halogenated agents all have similar circulatory effects as seen in young, healthy volunteers during maintenance anesthesia (Cahalan MK et al., 1991; Eis S & Kramer J, 2022). The effects of anesthetics on the cardiovascular system have a complicated character, and almost all the anesthetic agents have a dose-related myocardial depression and decreases in heart rate and arterial pressure. During anesthesia, individual responses of patients against procedures such as induction, intubation, and surgical stimulation are influenced by many factors, including preoperatively used drugs, anesthesia type, preferred anesthetic agents, and the autonomic nervous system (Fee JPH et al., 1997, Pagel PS et al., 1991; Smith G et al., 2022).

This systematic review of the last seven years aims to identify and analyze emotional engagement in academic writing or undergraduate thesis. Referring to Pekrun's academic, emotional theory, the object focus in writing a thesis is loaded with emotional content besides cognitive and social aspects. The discrepancy between the error and the targeted plan evokes positive and negative emotions. Ten relevant studies in the literature search between 2016-2022 are included in the review, indicating that the research theme requires the attention of researchers to develop further studies. The results of the review show that anxiety is the dominant emotion students feel when writing their undergraduate thesis in various countries. The review results are grouped into theoretical basis, research methods, and relevant results. Implications for future research indicate that self-regulation and strengthening the social environment bring positive consequences in writing an undergraduate thesis. Meanwhile, the study’s limitations are related to the inclusion criteria that are too restrictive.

In the learning process, teachers rarely use guessing games, so that most children have not been able to develop their cognitive abilities properly. Audio-visual media is a medium that can stimulate the development of children's cognitive abilities, so that children are able to name objects based on color and shape, and classify objects based on color and shape. This study aims to determine the effect of playing charades using audio-visual media on group B children at RA Al Amin. This type of research is quantitative-experimental, consisting of 8 meetings. The data collection instrument was an informal test consisting of a pretest and posttest. The data obtained were analyzed by means of quantitative-descriptive analysis. The results of the normality test stated that the pretest and posttest data came from populations that were normally distributed. While the results of testing the hypothesis stated that tcount (3.74) > ttable (1.74), so it was concluded that there was an effect of playing guessing or sound on the cognitive ability to recognize numbers in group B children at RA Al Amin.

Indonesia memiliki produk domestik bruto (PDB) yang cenderung mengalami peningkatan setiap tahunnya. Pertumbuhan PDB suatu negara sangat dipengaruhi oleh pertumbuhan komponen penyusunnya, sehingga pertumbuhan PDB dapat sangat berfluktuasi dan sensitif terhadap kondisi yang dialami sebuah negara. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh konsumsi rumah tangga, pengeluaran pemerintah, dan ekspor terhadap PDB Indonesia tahun 2000 hingga 2020. Metode analisis data yang digunakan adalah teknik analisis data deret waktu dengan menggunakan analisis ECM (Error Correction Model). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsumsi rumah tangga dan nilai ekspor berpengaruh positif secara signifikan terhadap PDB Indonesia, serta pengeluaran pemerintah berpengaruh positif namun tidak signifikan terhadap PDB Indonesia. Adapun kecepatan penyesuaian model jangka pendek ke jangka panjang sebesar 42,74%.

Masalah ketidakseimbangan kelas telah menjadi salah satu tantangan dalam kinerja banyak algoritma klasifikasi. Kelas tidak seimbang merupakan suatu kondisi dimana terdapat dataset yang jumlah kelasnya terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan terhadap masing-masing jumlah kelas. Dalam kumpulan data yang terdiri dari dua kelas, ukuran sampel kategori mayoritas (lebih besar) mendominasi sampel kategori minoritas (lebih kecil) dengan rasio sebesar 1:100, 1:1.000 atau 1:10.000. Dampak ketidakseimbangan ini menyebabkan klasifikasi menjadi buruk dan tidak optimal. Sebagian besar algoritma klasifikasi standar cenderung mengklasifikasikan kelas mayoritas dengan tingkat akurasi tinggi dan kelas minoritas dengan tingkat akurasi rendah, sehingga mengakibatkan terjadinya bias. Dalam banyak aplikasi, lebih penting untuk mengidentifikasi kelas minoritas dari pada kelas mayoritas. Pada penelitian ini diusulkan pendekatan berbasis ensemble dengan pengklasifikasi yang digunakan adalah LightGBM dan XGBoost, kedua metode ini merupakan metode gradien efisien yang beberapa tahun terakhir telah disarankan berdasarkan pohon keputusan sehingga mampu menangani masalah data dengan skala besar. Data yang digunakan diperoleh dari UCI Repository dengan 5 data, 3 diantaranya memiliki tingkat ketidakseimbangan tinggi dan sisanya dengan tingkat ketidakseimbangan rendah. Jumlah kelas yang digunakan pada penelitian adalah dua kelas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kinerja metode XGBoost dalam akurasi dan sensitivitas lebih baik dibandingkan LightGBM di hampir seluruh data. Sedangkan kemampuan dalam menebak kelas minoritas (spesifisitas), metode LightGBM lebih baik dibandingkan XGBoost dengan nilai keseluruhan rata-rata sebesar 80,41% : 74,64%.

Ekspor non migas merupakan ekspor barang yang bukan berupa minyak dan gas. Tidak semua daerah di Indonesia memiliki potensi yang sama untuk melakukan kegiatan ekspor sehingga setiap daerah memiliki nilai ekspor yang berbeda-beda. Oleh karena itu dilakukan analisis pengelompokkan provinsi di Indonesia berdasarkan nilai ekspor non migas tahun 2016 – 2020 menggunakan cluster time series dengan metode hierarki clustering agglomerative diantaranya complete lingke yaitu pengelompokkan berdasarkan jarak terbesar antar objek dan centroid linkage merupakan nilai tengah observasi pada variabel dalam satu cluster, serta menggunakan pengukuran jarak Euclidean dan Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) dengan tujuan yaitu untuk memperoleh pengukuran jarak terbaik dengan metode yang optimal guna mendapatkan cluster yang representatif. Berdasarkan hasil analisis pengelompokkan Provinsi di Indonesia terhadap nilai ekspor non migas tahun 2016 - 2020 didapatkan pengukuran jarak kemiripin yang paling baik yaitu jarak DTW dan metode yang optimal yaitu centroid linkage berdasarkan pada nilai koefisien cophenetic sebesar 0.92 dengan kategori good cluster berdasarkan nilai koefisien silhouette yaitu 0.60. Sehingga didapatkan tiga cluster yaitu nilai ekspor tinggi, sedang dan rendah, diantaranya 24 Provinsi dengan nilai ekspor rendah, 9 Provinsi dengan nilai ekspor sedang, dan 1 Provinsi dengan nilai ekspor tinggi.
