The Introductory Section of Varāhārya’s Maṅgalavāda (a MS from IOM, RAS Collection)
Authors: Desnitskaya Evgeniya A.
Published: May 2023

This article presents an analysis of the introductory section of Varāhāryas Māṅgalavāda, based on the MS housed in the collection of IOM, RAS. The title maṅgalavāda is also a common name for a number of works that belong to the Navya-nyāya tradition. The works of this genre discuss and justify the practice of maṅgala, i.e. auspicious verses at the beginning of a literary or philosophical work. Varāhāryas Māṅgalavāda can be provisionally dated to the 17th century. So far, no references to the works of this author have been discovered, so the MS can be considered unique. The introductory section provides a brief discussion on the effectiveness of the maṅgala practice, and on the cause-and-effect relationship between the maṅgala and its result. Varāhārya makes use of Nyāya terminology, but at the same time considers maṅgala a kind of ritual. Due to its ritual context, the work can be also attributed to the tradition of Navya-mīmāṃṣā. The article provides transliteration and translation of the introductory section, and a facsimile reproduction of the corresponding sheets of the MS.

Clinicopathological Profile of Lymph Node Metastases in Ovarian Carcinoma at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital 2016-2018
Authors: Hayati Amal , Tjahjadi Hartono
Published: May 2023

Background
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women. In Indonesia, this incidence is the third highest after breast and cervical cancer. The prognosis for ovarian carcinoma is generally poor. Ovarian cancer patients have low survival rate since most of them diagnosed at advanced stage. The tumor spread to retroperitoneum lymph nodes is important to evaluate considering that metastasis to lymph nodes will upstage the tumor to stage III. Tumor histological type, grade and CA 125 serum level considered as risk factors for lymph node metastases.
Methods
This study was a cross-sectional descriptive study to determine the profile of lymph node metastases in ovarian carcinoma at the Anatomical Pathology Department FKUI-RSCM for 3 years. The assessment criteria included demographic, clinical, and histopathological features of tumor mass and retroperitoneum lymph nodes.
Results
Analysis of demographic data in 54 cases of ovarian carcinoma found 47 patients (87%) aged ≥40 years. Unilateral tumors found in 42 cases (77.8%) and bilateral tumors found in 12 cases (22.2%). Patients generally diagnosed at stage III as many as 17 cases (31.4%). Elevated levels of tumor marker CA 125 (≥35 u/ml) found in 41 cases (76%). A total of 19 cases of ovarian carcinoma had spread to lymph nodes, with 8 cases (42%) of which were serous carcinomas. Lymph node metastases found in 16 cases (80%) of high-grade ovarian carcinoma and 12 cases (60%) of advance-staged tumors. Macrometastatic tumor deposit patterns found in 180 lymph nodes and micrometastases found in 10 lymph nodes. Two subjects diagnosed for lymph node metastases only from micrometastasis deposit in lymph nodes.
Conclusion
Lymph node metastases in ovarian carcinoma are more frequently found in serous carcinoma, high grade carcinoma, and cases with elevated CA125 serum level. Lymph nodes evaluation should be conducted carefully to detect micrometastasis deposit.

Este trabalho analisa o processo de servitização de diferentes fornecedores na cadeia produtiva do café no Brasil. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura sobre sistemas produto-serviço (SPS) para estabelecer uma estrutura para identificar a tipologia de serviços no setor agrícola. Os resultados destacaram que a prestação de serviços "menos avançados" não é uma condição necessária para que a empresa ofereça serviços "mais avançados". Entretanto, as características das propriedades rurais parecem afetar o número de serviços associados aos fornecedores de máquinas. Os resultados ajudam os gerentes desse setor a identificar as ofertas de serviços e ampliam a discussão sobre servitização, ao abranger um setor pouco explorado.

GAMMA RADIATION EFFECTS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF MONO-CRYSTALLINE SOLAR CELLS
Authors: Prayogi Soni , Zainuddin Zainuddin
Published: May 2023

In this study, we present examples of solar cells that were subjected to various levels of 60Co gamma radiation. The solar cells we use are mono-crystalline, which has a stable crystal structure and high efficiency compared to polycrystalline. Prior to and during gamma irradiation, the current-voltage characteristics of monocrystalline silicon solar cells under AM1.5 light conditions and their photon spectral currents were examined. The results of the experiment demonstrate that as the dose of gamma radiation increases, solar cell metrics including open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current (Isc), and efficiency (η) drop. The photon spectral current demonstrates that as dose gamma is increased, the current decreases at shorter wavelengths  and the defects are primarily produced near the solar cell's surface. Our findings demonstrate the gamma irradiation-induced breakdown of silicon solar cells and the minority carrier lifetime which demonstrates that the minority carrier lifetimes sharply decline with increasing radiation dose.

Published: May 2023

The helical steam generator is connected to an HTGR-type nuclear reactor called PeLUIt-40 for steam production. Steam is used to generate electricity and hydrogen. A once-through helical tube bundle was employed because of its ability to endure mechanical stress due to thermal expansion, high resistance to flow-induced vibrations, and better thermal performance compared to a straight tube one. To produce the targeted steam, a design analysis of the once-through helical steam generator needs to be conducted. A quick evaluation method was used to predict the preliminary specifications required for steam production. Simple thermodynamic calculations combined with empirical heat transfer coefficients covering convective and boiling processes at constant pressure were used to carry out the analysis. Two scenarios were conducted to evaluate the design choice based on the previous design of RDE-10.

Published: May 2023

A study was conducted to compare the effect of roof modification with use of polycarbonate plastic sheet and its variable height on micro-climate of growing dairy heifers. The experiment was carried out on three sheds for three seasons, viz. hot-dry (summer) season, hot-humid (rainy) season and winter season. In control group (C), loose housing system was followed and corrugated cemented sheets were used as roofing material. In T1, polycarbonate sheets were used as roofing material with fixed height. In T2, polycarbonate sheets were used as roofing material with adjustable height. Daily ambient temperature (°C), dry and wet bulb temperature outside the shed (macro-climate) and inside the shed (micro-climate), Relative Humidity and Temperature Humidity Index were being recorded twice a day at 9.00 am and 2: 30 pm for three continuous days at fortnightly interval. The average temperature of animal shed was significantly lower in T2 (27.30±0.10), followed by T1 (28.28±0.04) and C (29.46±0.16). In T2 lower temperature of shed than control was recorded during summer. Increasing the height of shed with ridge ventilation might have helped to dissipate heat easily in T2. The overall THI was significantly lower in T2 (76.50 ± 0.16) followed by T1 (77.91 ± 0.05) and higher in control (78.74 ± 0.25), which might be due to less penetration of solar radiation via reflective polycarbonate sheet and higher height of roof in T2. The micro-environment was more conducive and comfortable in T2 than control. Polycarbonate roofing with adjusted higher height may be a desirable choice for animal housing to mitigate heat stress in summer.

Published: May 2023

Visual Cryptography, Logistic-Chebyshev map, Chinese Remainder Theorem, share.lves breaking up a secret image into $n$ secured components known as shares. The secret image is recovered with utmost secrecy when all of these shares are lined up and piled together. A (3, 3)-secret image sharing scheme (SIS) is provided in this paper by fusing the Chinese Remainder Theorem (CRT) and the Logistic-Chebyshev map (LC). Sharing a confidential image created with CRT has various benefits, including lossless recovery, the lack of further encryption, and minimal recovery calculation overhead. Firstly, we build a chaotic sequence using an LC map. The secret value pixel for the secret image is permuted in order to fend off differential attackers. To encrypt the scrambled image, we apply our CRT technique to create three shares. Finally, the security analysis of our (3, 3)-SIS scheme is demonstrated and confirmed by some simulation results.

Incorporating AI Tools into Medical Education: Harnessing the Benefits of ChatGPT and Dall-E
Authors: Miftahul Amri Muhammad , Khairatun Hisan Urfa
Published: May 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promising potential to transform various fields, including medical education. Recently, the rapid advancement of AI has led to many ``new'' discoveries that caught everyone's attention. Among those discoveries are introduced by OpenAI (e.g., ChatGPT, Dall-E, and the most recent, GPT-4). The integration of AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Dall-E, can offer a new dimension to medical education by creating an interactive and engaging learning experience. In this article, we explore the potential benefits of ChatGPT and Dall-E in medical education and provide practical utilization examples of those tools. For starters, ChatGPT, or in this sense, any other similar large language models, can simulate patient interactions in a safe environment, allowing medical learners to practice their communication skills and diagnosis techniques. Furthermore, it can assist medical students and researchers in reading and writing academic articles by accurately summarizing the key points of a given topic and generating an indistinguishable abstract. In addition, ChatGPT can also create problems for medical assignments and exam practice. In this article, we also discussed ChatGPT's capability to answer standard medical assignment problems. Dall-E, on the other hand, can generate dummy copyright-free and consent-free medical images (e.g., x-ray and electrocardiogram (ECG) graphs), allowing medical learners to practice and enhance their interpretation skills. Incorporating AI-based tools into medical education can provide a new approach to teaching and learning, bridging the gap between theory and practice, and unlocking new avenues for learning and discoveries for both, the students and the instructors. It can also offer a cost-effective solution to simulate real-world scenarios that would otherwise require significant resources and time. In summary, this article concludes that AI-based tools have the potential to revolutionize medical education, empowering medical learners with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their field.
Designing Educational Games and Their Benefits
Authors: Sharipova nodira
Published: May 2023

Educational games are considered interactive activities that should be just as motivating and engaging as regular digital games, but players will learn rather than just be entertained. Despite some limited success over the past few decades, educational games have failed to reach mainstream adoption or success. This chapter claims that such a failure is the result of poor design. Designers can create better educational games once they have a better understanding of how to design games. To this end, three aspects of game design are investigated to see how they relate to the design of successful games. Firstly, how players learn or come to understand something while playing a game. Secondly, how designers can ensure players remain motivated to play the game. Lastly, how both education and motivation should be considered from the perspective of gameplay

The purpose of this research was to examine practical issues that predict and prevent turnover intention in the context of Lao public organizations, focusing on the relationship between procedural justice, perceived organizational support, and employee engagement. Data for this study were collected from 331 public officials. In this study, structural equation modeling was used to analyze the collected data and test the hypothesized relationships. The results indicated that procedural justice had a significant effect on perceived organizational support, employee engagement, and turnover intention, whereas perceived organizational support and employee engagement were not significantly related to turnover intention. In addition, the mediating effect of perceived organizational support in the relationship between procedural justice and employee engagement was statistically significant. The findings suggest that organizations should contemplate how to improve procedural justice and promote their level of perceived organizational support. On the basis of the findings, human resource development implications and recommendations are discussed and suggested.

Objective: The study was conducted to screen differentially expressed miRNAs in sows at early pregnancy by high-throughput sequencing and explore its mechanism of action on embryo implantation.Methods: The blood serum of pregnant and non-pregnant Landrace×Yorkshire sows were collected 14 days after artificial insemination, and exosomal miRNAs were purified for high throughput miRNA sequencing. The expression patterns of 10 differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs were validated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The qRT-PCR quantified the abundance of serum exosomal miR-192 in pregnant and control sows, and the diagnostic power was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The target genes of DE miRNAs were predicted with bioinformatics software, and the functional and pathway enrichment analysis was performed on gene ontology and the Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes terms. Furthermore, a luciferase reporter system was used to identify the target relation between miR-192 and integrin alpha 4 (ITGA4), a gene influencing embryo implantation in pigs. Finally, the expression levels of miRNAs and the target gene ITGA4 were analyzed by qRT-PCR, and western blot, with the proliferation of BeWo cells detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8).Results: A total of 221 known miRNAs were detected in the libraries of the pregnant and non-pregnant sows, of which 55 were up-regulated and 67 were down-regulated in the pregnant individuals compared with the non-pregnant controls. From these, the expression patterns of 10 DE miRNAs were validated. The qRT-PCR analysis further confirmed a significantly higher expression of miR-192 in the serum exosomes extracted from pregnant sows, when compared to controls. The ROC analysis revealed that miR-192 provided excellent diagnostic accuracy for pregnancy (area under the ROC curve [AUC] = 0.843; p>0.001). The dual-luciferase reporter assay indicated that miR-192 directly targeted ITGA4. The protein expression of ITGA4 was reduced in cells that overexpressed miR-192. Overexpression of miR-192 resulted in the decreased proliferation of BeWo cells and regulated the expression of cell cycle-related genes.Conclusion: Serum exosomal miR-192 could serve as a potential biomarker for early pregnancy in pigs. miR-192 targeted ITGA4 gene directly, and miR-192 can regulate cellular proliferation.

Objective: The objective was to evaluate the effects of UV-B irradiated vitamin D-enriched yeast supplementation on milk yield, milk composition, vitamin D in milk, milk fatty acids, blood chemistry, and 25(OH)D status in dairy cows.Methods: Six Thai Friesian cows (milk production, 11.2±2.0 kg/d; body weight, 415.0±20.0 kg; and days in milk, 90.0±6.0) were allocated to each treatment in a 3×3 Latin square design, with three treatments and three periods. Each period of the Latin square lasted 49 days consisting of 14 days for diet adaptation and 35 days for sample collection. Dairy cows were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: i) feeding a basal diet without yeast (CON); ii) basal diet + 5 g of live yeast (75 IU/head/d of vitamin D2; LY); and iii) basal diet + 5 g of UV-B irradiated vitamin D enriched yeast (150,000 IU/head/d of vitamin D2; VDY). Feed intake and milk production were recorded daily, milk sample collection occurred on days 14 and 35 of each collection period, and blood plasma was collected on days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 of each collection period.Results: The results show that after a trial period of 14 and 35 days, the VDY group had significantly higher vitamin D content in milk than the LY and CON groups (376.41 vs 305.15, 302.14 ng/L and 413.46 vs 306.76, 301.12 ng/L, respectively). At days 7, 14, 21, 28, and 35 of the experiment, cows fed the VDY group had significantly higher 25(OH)D2 status in blood than the CON and LY groups (51.07 vs 47.16, 48.05 ng/mL; 54.96 vs 45.43, 46.91 ng/mL; 56.16 vs 46.87, 47.16 ng/mL; 60.67 vs 44.39, 46.17 ng/mL and 63.91 vs 45.88, 46.88 ng/mL), respectively.Conclusion: In conclusion, UV-B irradiated vitamin D-enriched yeast supplementation could improve vitamin D content in the milk and 25(OH)D status in dairy cows during the lactation period.

Objective: The study investigated the origin of the Akhal-Teke horse using genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data and mitochondrial hypervariable region 1 (HVR-1) nucleotide sequencesMethods: Genome-wide SNP data from 22 breeds (481 horses) and mitochondrial HVR-1 sequences from 24 breeds (544 sequences) worldwide to examine the origin of the Akhal- Teke horse. The data were analyzed using principal component analysis, linkage disequilibrium analysis, neighbor-joining dendrograms, and ancestry inference to determine the population relationships, ancestral source, genetic structure, and relationships with other varieties.Results: A close genetic relationship between the Akhal-Teke horse and horses from the Middle East was found. Analysis of mitochondrial HVR-1 sequences showed that there were no shared haplotypes between the Akhal-Teke and Tarpan horses, and the mitochondrial data indicated that the Akhal-Teke horse has not historically expanded its group. Ancestral inference suggested that Arabian and Caspian horses were the likely ancestors of the Akhal- Teke horse.Conclusion: The Akhal-Teke horse originated in the Middle East.
Evaluation of salt level and rigor status on the physicochemical and textural properties of low-fat pork sausages added with sea tangle extract using rapidly chilled pre-rigor pork ham
Authors: Kim Geon Ho , Chin Koo Bok
Published: May 2023

Objective: This study was performed to evaluate the quality characteristics of pork sausage (PS) with sea tangle extract (STE) and rapid chilled pre-rigor muscle (RCPM) for the development of reduced-salt low-fat sausage.Methods: Pre- and post-rigor pork ham muscles were prepared to process PSs. Positive control (reference, REF) using post-rigor muscle were manufactured at a regular-salt level of 1.5%. Fresh and rapid-chilled pre-rigor muscle (FPM and RCPM) were used to manufacture reduced-salt sausages with 0.8% salt. Reduced-salt PSs were prepared with four treatments: FT1 (FPM alone), FT2 (FPM with 5% STE), RT1 (RCPM alone), and RT2 (RCPM with 5% STE). The physicochemical and textural properties of the sausages with reduced-salt levels and RCPM combination were measured to determine if the characteristics of RCPM were similar to those with FPM.Results: The pH values of PS with FPM and RCPM were higher than those of REF with post-rigor muscle. Color values (L*, a*, b*) were not affected by different rigor-states and salt addition level. Textural properties of reduced-salt PSs were similar to those of REF due to the improved functionalities of pre-rigor muscle. RT2 had lower expressible moisture (%) than other treatments with post-rigor muscle and RCPM except for RT1.Conclusion: The addition of STE and RCPM to reduced-salt PS increased the waterholding capacity, which was lower than those of PS with STE using RCPM but similar to those of regular-salt sausage.
