Report on Visiting Activities for Pulmonary Tuberculosis Cases with Short Stature in An. S with a Family Medicine Approach
Authors: Anggraini Jerica , Mathica Naibaho Elsa
Published: October 2023

Tuberculosis (TB) is still a serious health problem in the world. TB in children is an important indicator of transmission. Tuberculosis in children occurs at the age of 0-14 years. Indonesia has a high burden of TB disease, especially in Banten Province. The global prevalence of TB in 2021 increased by around 600,000 cases compared to 2022 of 10.6 million cases. The purpose of this study is to know, analyze and help solve problems faced by patients. The methods in this report are used to confirm the diagnosis of RO TB based on the Mtb susceptibility test using phenotypic and genotypic TCM and LPA methods. Diagnosis of tuberculosis in suspected TB is carried out by TCM examination. Based on the plotting results, there is a girl with the initials S who is diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis and is short in stature, so it is necessary to intervene through a family medicine approach. After intervening holistically and comprehensively, An's complaint. S is showing improvement and is currently still undergoing treatment. The source of TB transmission in An is known to S is thought to come from the patient's grandfather. TB infection experienced by patients has an impact on inhibiting patient growth so that the patient's height and weight do not increase. After thorough treatment and education, the patient's family understands TB disease, transmission, and prevention. It is hoped that treatment can be carried out completely and can achieve age-appropriate growth.

Published: October 2023

The ever-growing technology makes innovations about financial applications, so financial application applications continue to innovate. This has made micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) adopt financial bookkeeping to run their businesses. Bank Indonesia launched an Android-based financial application that can be obtained for free. The application is the Financial Information Recording Application Information System (SI APIK). This study aims to examine MSMEs in using the Si APIK application in managing their business. The method and conceptual formulation model were carried out in several stages; literature study, model adoption, and instrument development. Based on theoretical and empirical studies of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study describes the constructs and propositions used as the basis for building a conceptual model. The results of instrument development can be used for further research
Distributive Justice Perspective of Sharia Economic Law in Indonesia
Authors: Mugni Muhit  , Rani Mariana  , Mohamad Anton Athoillah
Published: October 2023

Injustice is a traditional and current issue that all economic systems encounter. This economic injustice and disparity of income and wealth is the origin of the poverty problem. The idea of distributive justice emerged in Islamic economics in response to the inability of current economic theories to address the issues of poverty, income, and wealth disparity. As a result, the study of distribution has long been an intriguing topic in Islamic economics. This study defines distribution from an Islamic economic standpoint, examines problems related to injustice in the Indonesian distribution system, criticizes capitalist economic distribution, and concludes with a study of Islamic economic distribution in discovering distributive justice and distribution mechanisms in Islam as an answer for justice and social welfare
Exponential stability of solutions to nonlinear time-varying delay systems of neutral type equations with periodic coefficients

Conceptions of Counselling and Psychotherapy: Towards Professional Self-Clarification
Authors: O'Hara Denis
Published: October 2023

In 2023, the Australian Government, after many sponsored reviews of counselling and psychotherapy, announced its intention to establish a review of the national standards for counselling and psychotherapy. This welcome development signals the government’s intention to clarify the professional standing of counselling and psychotherapy as a profession within the Australian social and health system. Identifying professional standards of any profession assumes that the profession is clear about its own standards—that is, it can identify its own body of knowledge, skills, processes, ethical framework, and scope of practice. Currently, Australia does not have a single, agreed-upon set of national standards. This is in large part due to two main factors: one, the existence of several counselling associations, each holding different perceptions of the profession; and two, a lack of agreement within the counselling and psychotherapy workforce. This situation indicates that the profession has some distance to travel before it gains full confidence in its own identity as a health profession. Arriving at a commonly held view of what counselling is as a profession as opposed to simply a practice is a pressing need if counselling is to establish its rightful place alongside other established helping professions. The following discussion explores different perceptions of how the profession of counselling and psychotherapy understands itself.

Authors: Rueda Flores Walter Paul
Published: October 2023

En la actualidad el déficit de planificación en la distribución de cargas, sumado al crecimiento acelerado de la demanda eléctrica de la Universidad Técnica de Cotopaxi (UTC), ha originado un desbalance de carga entre las fases, encontrándose fuera de los límites establecidos por la norma 004-01 CONELEC. El presente proyecto está orientado al diagnóstico energético del sistema eléctrico en el bloque A y B. Para dar solución a este problema, se realizaron mediciones con el analizador de red Fluke 435 serie II en los tableros principales, adquiriendo las variables eléctricas de todo el sistema, y con la ayuda de los planos eléctricos se realizó un levantamiento de toda la carga instalada necesaria para la simulación de los flujos de potencia. La simulación se efectuó con el uso del software ETAP 12.6.0 que permitió obtener los índices de caída de voltaje y corriente de cada fase. Se pudo demostrar que las nuevas cargas incorporadas al sistema se realizaron sin un estudio previo, dando como resultado un desbalance de fases lo que ocasiona una corriente por el neutro que deteriora al equipamiento y disminuye el tiempo de vida útil. El alcance del diagnóstico contempla, establecer estrategias de soluciones técnicas en las zonas críticas existentes.

Published: October 2023

In this note, we study the evaluations of Euler sums via trigonometric series. It is a commonly believed conjecture that for an even weight greater than seven, Euler sums cannot be evaluated in terms of the special values of the Riemann zeta function. For an even weight, we reduce the evaluations of Euler sums into the evaluations of double series and integrals of products of Clausen functions. We also re-evaluate Euler sums of odd weight using a new method based on trigonometric series.

Published: October 2023

Oscillatory motions of incompressible viscous fluids with exponential dependence of viscosity on the pressure between infinite horizontal parallel plates are analytically and numerically studied. The fluid motion is generated by the lower plate that oscillates in its plane and exact expressions are established for the steady-state solutions. The convergence of starting solutions to the corresponding steady-state solutions is graphically proved. The steady solutions corresponding to the simple Couette flow of the same fluids are obtained as limiting cases of the previous solutions. As expected, the fluid velocity diminishes for increasing values of the pressure-viscosity coefficient and ordinary fluids flow faster. The time required to reach the steady-state is graphically approximated. The spatial profiles of the starting solutions are presented both for oscillatory motions and the simple Couette flow.

Published: October 2023

The Decis preparation is part of the group of phytosanitary products with low impact on environmental components. On the soil, its action is achieved through the impact on the vital activity of its microbiome, the suppression of the basic fermentation systems and the metabolic processes involved in pedogenesis and plant nutrition. The toxic action of the Decis preparation on the soil microbiome intensifies against the background of treatments with preparations from the group of those with a strong (Nurela-D, Zolon) and moderate (Delan) impact. The impact of the Decis preparation on the human sympathoadrenal system depends on the administered doses. Its action in a dose of 1.2 mg/kg on the level of catecholamines leads to an imbalance of amines, and its use in higher doses (2.0 and 2.4 mg/kg) leads to a sudden increase in the level of adrenaline and noradrenaline in the tissues of the studied or gans.
Soil health and evaluation criteria through the prism of the biophysical concept of pedogenesis
Authors: Jigau Gheorghe , Dobrojan Sergiu , Dobrojan Galina , Turchin Boris , Chirita Elena , Druta Adriana , Gaberi Valentin , Bolocan Nistor
Published: October 2023

Through the prism of the biophysical concept of pedogenesis, soil health is the integrative product of the interdependent and interdetermined processes of constituting the physical, chemical, physical-chemical and biological subsystems of the soil ecosystem within the genetic-evolutionary chain factors→regimes→elementary processes→soil (soil ecosystem). The evolution of the soil ecosystem involves two distinct phases: a) the establishment of the routine system of the soil; b) the constitution and evolution of the soil ecosystem. The constitution of the routine system of the soil is determined by the abiotic processes of transformation and organization of the abiotic components (solid, liquid and gaseous phases) with the formation of the pedolitic profile and the biolitic matrix. The constitution of the soil ecosystem is determined by the biologicalization of the biolytic matrix with the formation of the biopedomatrix and its modeling by its organisms in accordance with their own needs. Through this prism of ideas, soil health is a biophysical category and for its evaluation it is recommended to apply the parameters of the physical and biological properties, as well as the chemical and physico-chemical parameters related to them.

Data-driven discovery of injection-induced inter-slip creep on rock frac-tures
Authors: Fang Zhou , Wu Wei
Published: October 2023

Injection-induced inter-slip creep on rock fractures reveals how fracture friction recovers from the last slip event and weakens again before the next slip event. Forecasting the occurrence of slip behaviors, either inter-slip creep or dynamic slip, relies heavily on understanding the evolution of friction controls during the inter-slip creep, particularly those significantly modified from the previous slip events. Here we collected the experimental data from a series of fluid injection experiments and built a dual-stage attention-based recurrent neural network (DA-RNN) model to uncover the contributions of controlling factors to the occurrence of slip behaviors.

We conducted two sets of fluid injection experiments on sawcut fractures in Bukit Timah granite using Material Testing System experimental system with Vindum dual syringe pump [1]. We applied a normal stress of 11 MPa on the fracture and a shear stress equal to 80% of the shear strength to simulate a critically stressed fracture. We injected distilled water into the fracture at a constant pressurization rate of 0.05 MPa/s to induce a fracture slip. We also calculated the fluid pressure gradient over the fracture, which is defined as the difference between the injection and monitoring pressures divided by the fracture length. The fracture in the two sets under the same stress and injection conditions exhibits similar slip behaviors before and after the first dynamic slip event, in terms of a dynamic slip followed by an inter-slip creep (Figures 1a and 1b). However, the inter-slip creep continues during the first set, while multiple dynamic slip events appear in the second set.

To better understand the difference of slip behaviors in the two sets, we used the experimental data to train the DA-RNN model, which involves the attention mechanism to predict the slip behaviors based on the most relevant input parameters [2]. The attention distribution of the DA-RNN model reveals an attention increase to normal stress and an attention decrease to shear stress after the first dynamic slip event (Figures 1c and 1d). The minimal attention to shear stress is comparable to the maximum attention to normal stress, indicating that both the stresses control the subsequent slip behaviors. However, the attention to shear stress in the second set dramatically increases and far exceeds that to normal stress. The shear stress thus becomes the dominant control of slip behaviors, promoting the propagation of rupture front and the occurrence of dynamic slip [3]. The attention increase to normal stress during the subsequent inter-slip creep signifies the recovery of asperity contacts, restrengthening the fracture friction and leading to the multiple dynamic slip events. This study demonstrates the data-driven discovery using the DA-RNN model to better understand the evolution of experimental controls and the prediction of slip behaviors during fluid injection.
Thermo-hydro-mechanical modelling of geothermal energy extraction in deep mines in spatially heterogeneous settings
Authors: Zhang Le , Daniilidis Alexandros , Dieudonné Anne-Catherine , Hermans Thomas
Published: October 2023

With the increasing demand for mineral and alternative energy resources, as well as the gradual depletion of shallow resources, the exploitation and utilization of mineral resources and geothermal energy in deep strata is an effective way to solve the problem of resource shortage [1]. In recent years, as a new type of resource mining mode, the co-mining of deep mineral and geothermal energy has developed rapidly [2, 3]. This method can make use of the original equipment of the mine for geothermal exploitation. However, the deep co-mining system faces two significant challenges: the first is the significant uncertainty inherent in subsurface properties, while the second is the high levels of geostress and temperature associated with deep mining. These challenges are adding some constraints on the practicality of exploiting such systems and limit the feasibility of deep resource co-mining, so that modelling efforts are needed for actual risk assessment.

Consequently, we developed a Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical (THM) coupling framework for geothermal energy exploitation in deep mines using COMSOL to quantitatively characterize the temperature field of the geothermal system and predict the stress field of the mining system, considering the joint effects of large uncertainties and THM coupling. Through SGeMS, the uncertainty and spatial heterogeneity distribution of porosity are first generated. Then, the uncertainty of the hydraulic parameter [4] (permeability), mechanical parameter [5] (elastic modulus), and thermal parameter [6] (heat capacity and heat conductivity) was derived from the porosity. 500 samples were generated within a given uncertainty range, by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The spatial and temporal distributions of the temperature field of the geothermal system, and the stress field of the mining system were simulated, for each sample with COMSOL. Using the distance-based global sensitivity analysis [6], the most sensitive parameters for deep mining are identified, the heat storage capacity of the system and evolution of the maximum stress ratio are evaluated, including uncertainty.
Development of the heat flow cone penetration test (HF-CPT)
Authors: Vrielink Leon , Parasie Nico , Peuchen Joek , Daniilidis Alexandros , Vardon Philip J.
Published: October 2023

The heat flow cone penetration test (HF-CPT) provides in-situ values of thermal conductivity (patent pending). The HF-CPT test records include (1) heat flow (HF) measurements acquired by a CPT add-on module, i.e. heating power and temperature versus time and (2) cone penetration test (CPT) measurements, i.e. cone resistance, sleeve friction and pore pressure versus depth and time. The test method requires a short interruption of the continuous CPT penetration phase, to allow stationary HF heating and cooling cycles.

Values of thermal conductivity are derived similarly to the principles for laboratory thermal needle probes described in common ASTM standards, particularly [1].

Data processing makes use of an advanced interpretation method that accounts for the short-cylinder effects of the HF module and short timeframe heat fluxes. The novel interpretation method includes inversion of a numerical forward model of the interaction between the heat flow module and the surrounding soil. The interpretation method also integrates standard CPT results, such that both a semi-continuous thermal conductivity profile and a continuous standard CPT profile are obtained.

Validation of the interpretation method included comparison of thermal conductivity values derived from other test methods, notably laboratory transient plane source tests [1], in-situ thermal needle probe tests (based on [2]) and thermal cone penetration tests [3]. Figure 1 presents an example of validation results for predominantly clay soil. The results are seen to closely match those derived from an in-situ needle probe. As the HF-CPT measurements were taken two metres apart horizontally from the in-situ needle probe measurements, some deviation between the results is to be expected due to heterogeneity of the soil.

İletişim teknolojileri ve özellikle internet, insan hayatının vazgeçilmez bir parçası haline gelmiştir. İnternetin gelişmesi ile birlikte, toplumun her kesiminden insanın hayatında önemli değişiklikler meydana gelmiştir. Bu değişimler arasında en önemlilerinden biri de sosyal medya araçlarıdır. Sosyal medya araçları, günümüzde her yaştan, cinsiyetten, eğitim ve gelir seviyesinden insanın hayatında yer almaktadır. Sosyal medyanın, insanların hayatlarına getirdiği yeniliklerden biri de, sanal ortamda gerçekleşen iletişim ve ilişkilerdir. Sosyal medya araçları, kullanıcıların ilgi alanlarına göre özelleştirilebilmesi ve sosyalleşme fırsatı sunması nedeniyle popülerliğini korumaktadır. Sosyal medya, insanların sosyalleşmesine sağlamakta ve karşılıklı bir iletişim ortamına imkân vermektedir. Ancak, sosyal medya araçlarının yalnızlık gibi sorunları da tetiklediği bilinmektedir. Toplumda giderek artan yalnızlık durumunun sosyal medya araçlarından beslendiğini söylemek mümkündür. Yalnızlık sosyal medya kullanımının hem sebebi hem de sonucu olmaktadır.

Yalnızlık yaşayan bireylerin çözüm arayışlarında da sıklıkla sosyal medya araçlarına başvurdukları görülmektedir. Bu nedenle, sosyal medya kullanımı ve yalnızlık ilişkisi daha detaylı bir şekilde araştırılmalıdır. Özellikle gençlerin sosyal medya araçlarını diğer yaş gruplarına oranla daha yoğun kullandığı düşünüldüğünde, bu konuda yapılacak araştırmaların gençler üzerine odaklanması gerektiği açıktır.

Araştırmada, özellikle genç insanların tercih ettiği sosyal medya araçlarının kullanımı ve yalnızlık durumunu ölçebilmek adına rastlantısal örneklem tekniği kullanılarak seçilen Selçuk Üniversitesi’nde eğitim gören 461 öğrenci üzerinde anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, U.C.L.A Yalnızlık ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılara ölçekte yer alan sorulara ek olarak ankette, sosyal medya araçlarını kullanım alışkanlıklarını, yaş ve cinsiyet gibi demografik sorular sorulmuştur Saha çalışmasının yanıtları, faktör analizi Ki-kare testi, tek yönlü varyans gibi istatistiki testler kullanılarak yorumlanmış ve faktörler açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, araştırmaya katılanların sosyal medya kullanım süreleri en az 45 dakika en fazla 600 dakika olduğu, kadınların erkeklere oranla sosyal medyada daha fazla zaman geçirdiği ve katılımcıların %78.5 oranında orta derecede yalnız oldukları görülmektedir. Orta derece yalnızlık çeken katılımcılar arasında kadınların erkeklere oranla daha yalnız oldukları bulgulanmıştır.
Kahramanmaraş Depremlerinin Ana Haber Bültenlerinde Gündem Belirleme Kuramı Bağlamında İncelenmesi: Atv – Fox Tv Örneği

Kitle iletişim araçlarıyla medyanın insanları etkilemeye ve düşüncelerini yönlendirmeye çalıştığını söylemek mümkündür. Media, gündem belirleme kuramıyla bazı olayları gündeminde tutarak bunu gerçekleştirme çabası içindedir. Bu bağlamda yapılan çalışmada 6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde meydana gelen Kahramanmaraş merkezli 7.7 ve 7.6 büyüklüğündeki iki depremin Fox Tv ve Atv ana haber bültenlerinde ele alınış biçimleri içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Örnekleme depremin olduğu günden itibaren bir haftalık süre dâhil edilmiştir. İnceleme sonucunda her iki kanalın da haberlerinin tamamını depreme ayırdığı görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte, Fox Tv ana haberin Kahramanmaraş depremlerini hem süre bakımından hem de sayı bakımından gündemine daha fazla taşıdığı ifade edilebilir. Genel anlamda bahsi geçen kanalların objektif haberler yaptığını, özelde ise kendi yayın politikalarına uygun içerikler sunduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Toplumun doğal afetlere karşı hazırlıklı olması amacıyla medya gündemlerinde olay sonrasından çok olay öncesinde daha fazla yer vermesi gerektiği büyük önem arz etmektedir.
Halkla İlişkiler Disiplininin Paradigmatik Tercihleri: Doktora Tezleri Üzerinden Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: ÜNAL Celil
Published: October 2023

Bu çalışma, pratikten teorik bir zemin kazanmaya çalışan halkla ilişkiler disiplini içerisinde ortaya konulan çalışmaların paradigmatik tercihlerini ortaya koyma niyetiyle hazırlanmıştır. Araştırmada Türkiye’de “Halkla İlişkiler” başlığı altında yazılan doktora tezleri (n=219) örneklem olarak ele alınmıştır. İncelenen tezler doçentlik alanı, metodoloji, veri toplama tekniği, yıl ve üniversite kodları nezinde ayrıştırılarak Excel tablosu halinde MAXQDA 2022 paket programına aktarılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonrasında halkla ilişkiler başlığıyla yazılan doktora tezlerinin daha çok Halkla İlişkiler (n=71) doçentlik alanında yazıldığı, en çok üretimin 2021 yılında (n=18) olduğu, metodolojik yönelimin Nitel Yöntem’de (N=129) yoğunlaştığı ve veri toplama tekniği olarak daha çok Anket Tekniği’nin (n=86) tercih edildiği anlaşılmıştır. Halkla İlişkiler başlığıyla en fazla doktora tezinin yazıldığı üniversite ise Marmara Üniversitesi’dir (n=49). Buradan hareketle halkla ilişkiler başlığı altında yazılan tezlerin hermeneutik (yorumlayıcı) paradigmayı daha fazla tercih ettiği anlaşılmıştır. Çalışma sadece Halkla İlişkiler başlıklı doktora tezlerini ele alması sebebiyle kısıtlı bir çalışma olup, bu hususta gerçekleştirilecek diğer araştırmalara örnek olması açısından önemli görülmektedir. Çünkü bir disiplinin paradigmatik tercihleri, ilgili disiplinin bilimsel zeminini büyük ölçüde ortaya koyabilme mahiyetine sahiptir.

Kemuculan filsafat Islam dalam diskursus ilmu pengetahuan mengundang ragam pandangan, akan kedudukannya. Beberapa pandangan menyebutkan bahwa filsafat Islam tidaklah bersumber dari ajaran Islam, melainkan duplikat filsafat Yunani, sehingga para filosof muslim hanya melanjutkan apa yang telah dirintis oleh para filsuf Yunani, seperti Sokrates, Plato dan lain sebagainya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Library Research atau yang dikenal dengan studi pustaka, yaitu peneltian yang bersumber dari khazanah kepustakaan. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah filsafat Islam yang saat ini dipelajari tidak lain merupakan kontribusi dari Bayt al-Hikmah yang didirikan oleh Khalifah al-Ma'mun pada masa Daulah Abbasiyah yang melahirkan banyak filosof dan ilmuwan Islam. Bayt Al-Hikmah didirikan salah satunya adalah sebagai wadah untuk menerjemahkan kembali karya-karya filosof Yunani, sehingga ilmu yang bersumber dari Yunani dapat dijadikan inspirasi untuk peradaban Islam. Tentunya, para filosof Islam berbeda cara pengakajian dengan pra filosof Barat, dimana para filosof Islam tetap meyakini bahwa Allah SWT sebagai kebenaran tertinggi.

ПОТОМКИ МАНУК-БЕЯ МИРЗАЯНА/Descendants of Manuk-Bey Mirzayan
Authors: Alhazov Eduard
Published: October 2023

Four generations of Manuk-Bey Mirzayan descendants - children, grand-children, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren - received a good education. Many of them intermarried with representatives of elites of the Russian Empire and noble families of European countries. They possessed con-siderable capital, were actively engaged in their vast lands’ development, were involved in construction and charity, vigorously participated in public life and, to a lesser extent, in politics. Many of them won government awards.
Also, Mirzayan’s descendants, especially in the second and third genera-tions, sought to preserve the Armenian identity. Almost all got married and baptized in Armenian churches, donated to Armenian churches and schools, kept the Armenian language and traditions in their families, closely communi-cated with Armenian circles - both Manuk-Bey’s associates and dozens of other Armenians of Bessarabia. This cohort affected the Armenian community devel-opment and significantly strengthened the Armenian diaspora in Bessarabia, playing a full role in its economic life.

Authors: Zahra Inas Afifah , Said Muhammad , Muhammad Firman
Published: October 2023

This study aims to identify millennial Muslim consumers' perceptions of South Korean halal packaged food products and examine the relationship of each determinant to these food products. The research method used is a quantitative survey with a multiple linear regression data analysis method. The results showed that the primary perception of millennial Muslim consumers' intention to buy South Korean halal packaged food is the halal logo or certification. The factors determining this purchase intention do not fully have a positive and significant effect. Factors that have a positive and significant influence include; halal awareness, halal logo/certification, and product ingredients. While the factors of religious belief and exposure do not positively and significantly influence purchasing intentions. This study recommends that businesses engaged in the South Korean food sector with Muslims as their target customers follow halal principles, such as managing halal certification and including halal labels, raw material information, and processing methods of product/food packaging.
