Published: May 2024

This study examines the psychological flexibility of elementary school’s teachers in rural settings who obliged to still carried out teaching activities during Covid-19 pandemics. The changing teaching methods, along with other daily life changes, are common to be studied in urban setting. But, the vulnerable group of teachers in rural community setting is under researched. The school in this rural setting also achieved good mark academically, even though it was hampered by the pandemic. This study employed qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach, as the most relevant design for studying a life experience.  Participants were four elementary school’s teachers in rural Tegal regency, Central Java. Data was gathered through an in-depth interview, and analyzed using the tradition of content analysis. Triangulation was conducted by interviewing significant others of each participant, to maintain the credibility of the data. The results of this study showed that all the subjects, reflecting that when facing obstacles during a pandemic, they were able to bring up a set of skills that a person uses when faced with challenging thoughts, feelings, emotions, and/or experiences. Themes emerged included struggle to adapt, such as “Create New Innovations to Address Solutions,"  “An Attitude of Willingness to Learn to Face Challenges,"  “Functioning Effectively Despite Obstacles,"  “The Attitude of Continuing to Live Despite Obstacles”; struggle to accept, such as “Responding to Situations with a Positive Outlook”, “Gaining Wisdom,"  and finding meaning of events such as “Desire to Become a Better Version of Oneself.”. Meanwhile, factors that influenced psychological flexibility were teaching commitment, motivation, creativity, and social support.

Geoelectric measurements have been carried out using multichannel ResistivityMeter (Geores) tools with Wenner, Wenner-Schlumberger, and Dipole-dipole Configuration approaches on the influence of materials arranged in a laboratory-scale measuring tub design with dimensions of 194x184x80 cm. The measured method is the variation in resistivity value against each trajectory of the material. The method used is the variation of resistivity values for each path of the material that has been arranged in a laboratory scale measuring design. Geoelectric measurements were carried out on 7 lines (5 line in the West-East direction and 2 line in the North-South direction). The spacing between the electrodes of each line is 10 cm with 16 electrodes in one line so that each line has a length of 160 cm or 1.6 m which corresponds to the length and width dimensions of a laboratory scale measuring design. The electrode arrangement parameters are constant with respect to changes in the configuration selected from the geores parameters during geoelectric measurements. The measurement results showed that the identified depth reached 31.2 cm. The low resistivity value category has an interval of 374-4,397 ohm.meters at a depth of 0-12.5 cm, which is the influence of building sand material containing water and soil, while the depth interval is 12.5 - 31.2 cm ohm.meters (material category that is influenced by 2 iron rods, tin tailings sand, granite, gravel) with resistivity values ranging from 12,378–67,498 ohm.meters. From experiments on the influence of the resistivity values of the three Wenner, Wenner-Schlumberger, and Dipole-dipole configurations, it was obtained that the smallest absolute error resistivity value in the Wenner configuration was 5.01% against the overall average absolute error resistivity value of 10.16%.

Published: May 2024

This article discusses the legal issue of protecting the rights of children who are victims of incest rape after abortion in the law enforcement process. The crimes that occur should be resolved by the criminal justice system. In fact, child victims of incest rape have not received protection at every stage of the examination, from the investigation, prosecution to court decision. The importance of protecting child victims can be seen as a form of protection by the state in the form of administering justice. Apart from the completeness of statutory regulations regarding the protection of child victims, (the Witness and Victim Protection Agency), law enforcement officials, related government agencies and other relevant parties, the function of the judiciary plays an important role. This article aims first, to analyze the regulations regarding forms of protection for victims of incest rape in the criminal justice system. Second, it aims to analyze the enforcement of legal protection for child victims of incest rape in the judicial system. The method used in this article is a normative juridical research type using a statutory approach, conceptual approach and case approach. Analysis of legal materials, namely legal materials and literature that have been collected through systematic methods and then analyzed by inventorying, systematizing and interpreting all legal regulations and concepts according to the problems discussed. Substantially, from a regulatory perspective, a lot has been regulated regarding legal protection for child victims of incest, but in law enforcement it has not been able to provide protection, because the regulations for victim protection are still partially regulated. Studies of court decisions have not been able to accommodate the values of legal efficacy and the value of legal justice in providing legal protection to child victims of incest rape, especially in the criminal justice system. This study is important to carry out so that in the future there will be legal harmonization regarding legal protection for child victims of incest in the future.

Symmetry Measure of Truss Structures with Disturbed Higher-order Symmetries
Authors: Módis Márton , Kovács Flórián
Published: May 2024

This paper covers aspects of quantifying the symmetry of two- and three-dimensional elastic bar-and-joint structures. The concept of symmetry as a quantitative property instead of a binary question of 'yes' or 'no' is widely accepted and thoroughly investigated, for example, in molecular physics but also in engineering sciences, mainly in chemical engineering. Similarly to most of the articles written on this topic, our method is also based on the comparison of specific metrics of the analyzed structure and a reference one, i.e., which possesses the desired (perfect) symmetry. The deviation of the analyzed (imperfect) structure from the reference structure is quantified by one scalar. The novelty in our approach is that we consider not just the relative position of the nodes but also the normal stiffness of the truss members, even for structures with higher-order, i.e., polyhedral symmetries. For both geometric and material properties to be accounted for, the eigenvalues of the stiffness matrix were chosen as metrics. The difficulty lies in finding the reference structure which will be carried out based on energy principles.

Published: May 2024

Ti6Al4V is commonly used in implants because of its excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. While Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is typically used for strong biological bonding between Ti6Al4V implants and bone tissue, this study takes a different approach by incorporating Equine Bone (EB), which has a chemical structure similar to human bone tissue, as a substitute for HAp. In this study, to develop implant materials with a low elastic modulus, high strength, and excellent wear resistance, Ti6Al4V used in biomedical applications was combined with natural EB. Subsequently, a Ti6Al4V-0.05EB composite was fabricated using ball milling followed by Selective Laser Melting (SLM). SLM can reproduce even the interior of a 3D structure, so various studies are being conducted to apply it as a biomaterial. However, Ti6Al4V alloys produced by SLM are known to have low ductility due to localized heat gradients, rapid solidification, and cooling rates. This reduced ductility can result in decreased formability of biomaterials, and the high elastic modulus may lead to stress shielding phenomena, potentially reducing the lifespan of the biomaterial. To minimize this, a post-heat treatment was applied to the Ti6Al4V-0.05EB composite material manufactured by SLM. Afterwards, the microstructure, mechanical properties, and wear resistance, which are important in biomaterials, were evaluated.

Because n-type Bi2Te3-based materials exhibit lower thermoelectric performance than p-type materials and because their thermoelectric properties are sensitively changed by the composition and carrier concentration, optimizing these aspects in n-type materials is necessary to improve the thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT). In this study, the thermoelectric performance of n-type Bi2Te3-based materials was improved by reducing thermal conductivity through the formation of a Bi2Te3-Bi2Se3 solid solution, Bi2Te3-ySey and optimizing the carrier concentration through doping. As the amount of Se increased in Bi2Te3-ySey, the carrier concentration decreased, resulting in decreased electrical and thermal conductivities and increased Seebeck coefficients. As a result, Bi2Te2.85Se0.15 exhibited ZT = 0.56 at 323 K, and Bi2Te2.4Se0.6 exhibited ZT = 0.60 at 423 K. Among the Bi2Te3-ySey solid solutions, the doping effect was investigated for Bi2Te2.85Se0.15 and Bi2Te2.7Se0.3, which recorded excellent thermoelectric performance at low temperatures. When halogen element (I) was doped, the power factor improved owing to the increase in carrier concentration, and the thermal conductivity decreased. As a result, the ZT values were greatly enhanced to ZT = 0.90 at 423 K for Bi2Te2.85Se0.15:I0.005 and ZT = 1.13 at 423 K for Bi2Te2.7Se0.3:I0.0075. When the transition elements (Cu and Ag) were doped, the power factor was improved by the increase in Seebeck coefficient, and thereby Bi2Te2.85Se0.15:Ag0.01 and Bi2Te2.85Se0.15:Ag0.01 exhibited ZT = 0.76 and ZT = 0.75 at 323 K, respectively, and Bi2Te2.7Se0.3:Cu0.01 exhibited ZT = 0.73 at 423 K. Conversely, doping with other transition elements (Ni and Zn), as well as group-III (Al and In) and group-IV (Ge and Sn) elements, resulted in power factors and thermal conductivities that were similar to or slightly less than those of undoped Bi2Te2.85Se0.15, leading to minimal or no improvement in ZT. Next, n-type Bi2Te2.85Se0.15:I0.005 and Bi2Te2.7Se0.3:I0.0075, which exhibited the best thermoelectric performances, were fabricated as bulky compacts, and the uniformity of their thermoelectric properties were evaluated.
New Graduate Orientation: Has Competency Confidence Changed Since Covid 19

Published: May 2024

Student nurses and new graduate nursing students perceived a lack of preparation to clinical practice due to the challenges of the Covid 19 pandemic. Hospitals needed to pivot hybrid orientation programs and nursing schools needed to adjust clinical time and experiences to meet new Covid guidelines and mandates. This article compared the new graduate nurse confidence surveys of 1,320 nurse residence in a Pennsylvania healthcare network from 2019-2022 to determine if the new graduate nurses’ perceived confidence when performing basic nursing skills such as medication administration, tracheostomy care, ventilator care, wound care, EKG interpretation, nasogastric tube management, central line care, chest tube management, blood administration, and bladder catheter insertion had changed. The results of this study suggested more confidence by new graduate nurses in 2020-2021 as compared to 2019 and 2022. The results indicate that these changes in nursing school clinical and hospital orientations did not impact the 6 month confidence survey negatively. In fact, confidence score were less in 2019 and 2022 when traditional “live” programming was offered.

The research method used is qualitative research with theological studies by utilizing the Bible and literature according to the subject matter, then analyzed and presented descriptively. Thus, a true and strong foundation will be laid for the spiritual growth of the younger generation, so that they become like Christ to do God’s will in their time. The education of the younger generation includes the example of leaders, teaching God’s Word, fellowship with brothers and sisters and also involvement in ministry in the church and community. So that the church can be a witness for Christ throughout the ages.
Topical naltrexone increases aquaporin 5 production in the lacrimal gland and restores tear production in diabetic rats

Published: May 2024

Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent disease that is often accompanied by ocular surface abnormalities including delayed epithelial wound healing and decreased corneal sensitivity. The impact of diabetes on the lacrimal functional unit (LFU) and the structures responsible for maintaining tear homeostasis, is not completely known. It has been shown that the Opioid Growth Factor Receptor (OGFr), and its ligand, Opioid Growth Factor (OGF), is dysregulated in the ocular surface of diabetic rats leading to overproduction of the inhibitory growth peptide OGF. The opioid antagonist naltrexone hydrochloride (NTX) blocks the OGF-OGFr pathway, and complete blockade following systemic or topical treatment with NTX restores the rate of re-epithelialization of corneal epithelial wounds, normalizes corneal sensitivity, and reverses dry eye in diabetic animal models. These effects occur rapidly and within days of initiating treatment. The present study was designed to understand mechanisms related to the fast reversal (<5 days) of dry eye by NTX in type 1 diabetes (T1D) by investigating dysregulation of the LFU. The approach involved examination of the morphology of the LFU before and after NTX treatment. Male and female adult Sprague-Dawley rats were rendered hyperglycemic with streptozotocin, and after 6 weeks rats were considered to be a T1D model. Rats received topical NTX twice daily to one eye for 10 days. During the period of treatment, tear production and corneal sensitivity were recorded. On day 11, animals were euthanized and orbital tissues including conjunctiva, eyelids, and lacrimal glands, were removed and processed for histologic examination including immunohistochemistry. Male and female T1D rats had significantly decreased tear production and corneal insensitivity, significantly decreased number and size of lacrimal gland acini, decreased expression of aquaporin-5 (AQP5) protein and decreased goblet cell size. Thus, 10 days of NTX treatment restored tear production and corneal sensitivity to normal values, increased AQP5 expression, and restored the surface area of goblet cells to normal. NTX had no effect on the number of lacrimal gland acini or the number of conjunctival goblet cells. In summary, blockade of the OGF-OGFr pathway with NTX reversed corneal and lacrimal gland complications and restored some components of tear homeostasis confirming the efficacy of topical NTX as a treatment for ocular defects in diabetes.

Background

Advancements in cardiac imaging have revolutionized our understanding of ventricular contraction. While ejection fraction (EF) is still the gold standard parameter to assess left ventricle (LV) function, strain imaging (SI) has provided valuable insights into ventricular mechanics. The lack of an integrative method including SI parameters in a single, validated formula may limit its use. Our aim was to compare different methods for evaluating global circumferential strain (GCS) and their relationship with global longitudinal strain (GLS) and EF in CMR and how the different evaluations fit in the theoretical relationship between EF and global strain.

Methods

Retrospective monocenter study. Inclusion of every patient who underwent a CMR during a 15 months period with various clinical indication (congenital heart defect, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy). A minimum of three LV long-axis planes and a stack of short-axis slices covering the LV using classical steady-state free precession cine sequences. A single assessment of GLS on long axis (LAX) slices and a double assessment of GCS and EF with both short axis (SAX) and LAX slices were made by a single experienced CMR investigator.

Results

GCS-SAX and GCS-LAX were correlated (r = 0.77, P < 0.001) without being interchangeable with a high reproducibility for GCS, GLS and EF. EF calculated from LAX images showed an overestimation compared to EF derived from SAX images of 7%. The correlation between calculated EF and theoretical EF derived from SI was high (r = 0.88 with EF-SAX, 0.95 with EF-LAX).

Data conclusion

This study highlights the need to integrate strain imaging techniques into clinical by incorporating strain parameters into EF calculations, because it gives a deeper understanding of cardiac mechanics.
