Authors: Widiawati Nani
Published: October 2022

Pembelajaran di masa pandemi memiliki kondisi dimana guru dan peserta didik tidak dapat bertatap muka secara langsung. Hal ini tentu menyulitkan guru dalam melakukan kontrol kelas sehingga guru dalam melaksanakan asesmen perlu adanya penyesuaian dan inovasi. Kini, belum diketahui secara menyeluruh bagaimana pelaksanaan asesmen yang dilakukan oleh para guru. Karena itu tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui asesmen yang digunakan, penerapan assesmen pembelajaran dan assessmen yang paling sering digunakan pada pembelajaran selama masa pandemi. Penelitian ini dipandu oleh PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analyses). Dengan menggunakan basis data Dimensions dan Google Scholar. Berdasarkan 12 artikel terpilih, penelitian ini mengidentifikasi asesmen yang digunakan selama masa pandemi yakni asesmen kognitif, asesmen afektif, dan asesmen psikomotor. Asesmen yang paling sering digunakan selama masa pandemi yakni asesmen kognitif dengan media google form. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dan kesimpulan maka rekomendasi ditujukan kepada peneliti selanjutnya untuk melakukan penelitian yang lebih dikerucutkan pada satu satuan pendidikan seperti sekolah dasar, sekolah menangah pertama atau sekolah menegah atas saja.

Published: October 2022

It is acknowledged that “architecture is about people, culture, and land. However, the development of urban areas has raised many questions about the urban dream and the notion that it is “paved with gold.” The methodology of the study employs mixed method approach. According to the research, urban development is accelerating exponentially, and urban sprawl has occurred unpredictably, encroaching on traditional settlements. The new development on the outskirts of the old settlement is geared toward middle-income groups and is unattainable for the locals. Although the housing programme has been in place since 1968, it does not demonstrate the government’s total commitment and participation in assisting the Kelantanese urban population.

Authors: ŞENTÜRK Murat , TAGLİASACCHİ Ezher , ALTAY Tülay , YAGMURLU Fuzuli
Published: October 2022

The Kargı-İskilip Eocene deposits located in southern part of the North Anatolian Fault are very well exposed between Kargı and Çorum settlements in N-Turkey. These Eocene deposits are observed as submarine fan and fan delta systems. Submarine fan system is characterized by clastic sediments such as conglomerate, sandstones, siltstones, greyish coloured shale and mudstone alternations. Fan delta system is represented by pebbly sandstones, siltstones and coal seams in some parts. In this study, Kargı-İskilip Eocene sediments involved in İskilip Group were examined in detail (Hacıhalil, Yoncalı and Karabalçık formations). Thus, the sedimentary facies indicating depositional environments and processes were revealed. For this research, six measured sedimentary sections (MSS) have been taken systematically and eight sedimentary facies are described and interpreted. The facies changes in vertically and laterally indicate that Kargı-İskilip Eocene deposits present as regressive character from south to north. Well outcropped sections in the studied area show that the Kargı-İskilip deposits particularly represent as flysch character (Lower Eocene) and progressively passed to the fan delta (Middle Eocene) which characterized by coarse grained clastics alternating with fine grained sediments with coal-bearing. besides, volcanic rocks outcropped as syn-sedimentary deposition with Lower Eocene marine sediments is observed commonly. In the investigated area, which formed as a piggy-back basin, syn-sedimentary growth faults also play an active role for the deepening of the basin infill.

DETECTION OF STANDARD PLANE FROM ULTRASOUND SCANS BY DEEP LEARNING METHODS FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF DEVELOPMENTAL HIP DYSPLASIA
Authors: ÇEVİK Kerim Kürşat , ANDAÇ Şeyda
Published: October 2022

The term developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) describes a range of hip abnormalities affecting newborns where the femoral head and acetabulum are in improper alignment or grow abnormally, or both. The ultrasonographic evaluation technique rely on the capability of the ultrasonographer to pick up the accurate frame used for exact calculations. In our study we developed a new computer aided system that determines the exact frame from real time 2D ultrasound images and calculates the accuracy rate for each result. The deep learning architectures recently used in literature were utilized for these processes. In addition, transfer learning was carried out to increase the performance of the system using pretrained networks (SqueezeNet, VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50 and ResNet101). One of the best methods of object detection, You Only Look Once (YOLO) model, was used with pre-trained networks to determine DDH location. As a result of the study, the performance of the deep neural network model proposed with the help of these pre-trained networks was evaluated. When the obtained results were compared with expert opinions, frames (standard planes) in 605 of 676 (89.05%) test images were correctly detected. The accuracy rates for the used pre-trained networks were obtained as SqueezeNet 0.79, VGG16 0.95, VGG19 0.96, ResNet50 0.88 and ResNet101 0.93.

Authors: Borri Vinícius de Marchi , Gasi Fernando , Akkari Alessandra
Published: October 2022

Among all methodologies to support multi-criteria decision making, the Analytics Hierarchy Process is widely used in the most diverse situations. Different authors treat it as one of the best alternatives when there is a need to introduce subjective criteria within the decision-making process, in addition to having adaptability to situations with a high number of alternatives using ratings. In this work, a comparison was made between the ranking results of 30 areas for replacing the network infrastructure with fiber optic networks through numerical criteria and reordering by decision makers and through a model using AHP with ratings. As a result, a similar final ranking can be seen, which enables the use of AHP as a tool to improve the decision-making process for this situation.

Destined Failure of Interactions between Israeli-Arabs and Jews— An Analysis on Creative Works’ Presentation of Issues from the Jewish Side
Authors: Yin Tianqi
Published: October 2022

Sociological research have investigated factors to account for the ethnographic conflicts between Jews and Arabs in Israel. Different from previous studies, this paper inquires the factors on the Jewish side that prevent successful interaction between the two ethnographic groups by looking at crucial scenes in creative works of books and films produced by Israeli authors/directors. The first scene is from the Jewish perspective in Amos Oz’s memoir A Tale of Love and Darkness, in which young Oz, a Jewish boy, attempts to interact with Aisha, a young Israeli-Arab girl, but eventually failed because of an accident. The second scene is from a short Israeli film Bus Station which, from an outsider perspective, depicted a brief encounter between an Arab woman and a Jewish woman in Jerusalem. The third scene is the initially successful yet eventually failed relationship between Eyad, a Palestinian boy, and Naomi, a Jewish girl, in an elite Israeli high school from the 2014 film A Borrowed Identity, which is depicted through Eyad’s Arab perspective. Through the analysis of these three narratives, this paper argues that the burden of national responsibility, family influences, and Israeli government’s discriminatory policies are the three main factors on the Jewish side, in ascender order of importance, that make Arab-Jewish interaction hard in Israel.

Published: October 2022

Abstract: “Solar energy is clean, renewable, sustainable, and cost-effective, but it also requires time to develop by individual”. Due to the current situation of fossil fuels eradication and over-exploitation across the world. The energy demands of the world are to be fulfilled by renewable energy sources. Among this Solar energy has the maximum potential to be exploited to the maximum level to full fill the energy demands of the world. Renewable energies contribute to the environmental, social, and economic development of countries [1]. There are various of clean and renewable energy sources such as Solar, biomass, wind, hydrogen, fuel cell, nanocomposite, and supercapacitor. Each of the energy sources are suitable for specific geographical locations and can suits from region to region [6]. Since ages Sun has been praised as a vitalizer of life. The total Solar energy absorbed by Earth's atmosphere, oceans and land masses is approximately 122 PW·year = 3,850,000 exajoules (EJ) per year. Most of the world's population live in areas with insolation levels of 150–300 watts/m2, or 3.5–7.0 kWh/m2 per day [2 google- Solar Wikipedia]. Solar energy is the most secure and ubiquitous source of energy to meet the power needs after coal exploitation. In present time installation of photovoltaic (PV) Solar modules are growing extremely fast. As result of the increase, the volume of modules that reach the end of their life will grow at the same rate in the near future. Global installed PV capacity reached around 773 GW at the end of 2020 [3] and is expected to rise further to 2840 GW by 2030 and 4500 GW by 2050 [4, 5-Abstract ].

Parents have an important role in parenting. The care provided tends to be less appropriate and will have a negative impact on child development. In the case of a community in one RW (Rukun Warga) in Malang, there are some problems regarding parenting that tend to apply one-way communication that aims to make their children independent. Parents tend to limit their children to socialize in the surrounding environment for safety reasons. Both of those decisions are taken on the grounds of wanting to protect the child and form the independence of the child. However, the impact makes the children tend to lack confidence, and are less able to socialize with the environment which will affect their development in the future. The purpose of this study is to increase the knowledge of parents with disabilities about parenting. Assessment methods used are community interviews, observation, questionnaires, and scales. The intervention used is psychoeducation with lecture and roleplay techniques consisting of 6 sessions. The result of the intervention is an increase in the knowledge of parents who have children with special needs. Before treatment, the average knowledge of parents was 2.40 in the less category increased to 4.94 in the good category. The average skill of parents before treatment was 2.17 with the underprivileged category increasing by 3.36 in the quite capable category.

Identification on perceived complexity and influencing factors of construction contractors in China
Authors: Wang Shuyu , HAN Tongyin , chen xuning
Published: October 2022

Underestimating the impact of complexity is an important reason for the
poor performance of large-scale construction project management. The
purpose of this paper is to improve the understanding of the perceived
complexity of contractors, identify the complexity factors of
construction projects in China, and provide basic research results for
the treatment of complexity. From the perspective of contractors in the
construction implementation stage, the literature on construction
projects complexity is sorted out, and 17 initial indicators of
influencing factors are determined through document analysis and expert
interviews. Taking 130 questionnaires as samples, 17 influencing factors
passed reliability and validity tests. Through exploratory factor
analysis (EFA), a four-dimensional framework for influencing factors of
perceived complexity of construction project contractors is proposed,
including Social Complexity, Environment Complexity, Technical
Complexity and Stakeholder Complexity. Among those factors, the project
funding, geological conditions, survey and design quality, stakeholder
relationships are the key factors affecting the perceived complexity of
construction project contractors in China. The research results are
mainly applied in the field of construction project complexity
management, which can provide basis and reference for the complexity
management of railway, highway, subway and other large engineering
construction projects.

Authors: Hsia Judith , Guthrie Nicole L. , Lupinacci Paul , Gubbi Ananda , Denham Douglas , Berman Mark A. , Bonaca Marc P.
Published: October 2022

  

Objective

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a digital therapeutic application (app) delivering cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) designed to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Research Design and Methods

Adults with type 2 diabetes and HbA1c 7 to <11% were randomized to receive access to a digital therapeutic app delivering CBT (BT-001) or a control app, both on top of standard of care management. CBT is an established form of psychological treatment that endeavors to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. The primary study endpoint was treatment group difference in mean HbA1c change from baseline to 90 days. 

Results

Among 669 randomized subjects who completed app on-boarding, mean age was 58 years, body mass index 35 kg/m2, 54% were female, 28% Black, and 16% Latino. Baseline HbA1c was 8.2 and 8.1% in the BT-001 and control groups, respectively. After 90 days of app access, change in HbA1c was -0.28% (95% CI -0.41, -0.15) in the BT-001 group and +0.11% (95% CI -0.02, 0.23) in the control group (treatment group difference 0.39%, p<0.0001). HbA1c reduction paralleled exposure to the therapeutic intervention, assessed as the number of modules completed on the app (p for trend<0.0001). No adverse events in either group were attributed to app use and no adverse device effects reported.

Conclusions

Patients randomized to the BT-001 arm relative to the control arm had significantly lower HbA1c at 90 days. The digital therapeutic may provide a scalable treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes.
Entangled bodily planning. Developing bodily workshop design for kindergarten teachers’ bodily professional knowledge through somatic dance
Authors: Pape-Pedersen Ida , Strugstad Live
Published: October 2022

This article explores how a kindergarten teacher educator (Ida) and a somatic dance teacher (Live) collaboratively and bodily planned dance workshops for kindergarten teachers with the aim of developing the kindergarten teachers’ bodily professional knowledge. The focus is on the kindergarten teacher educator’s and somatic dance teacher’s bodily planning process. Methodologically, the article is positioned within arts-based and collaborative research, which is defined under an umbrella of performative research, with the researchers positioned on the inside of the research. The research material is analysed in two layers. The first layer, through Barad’s agential realism, results in the creation of four entanglements: to body – to space, to listen – to respond, to rest – to move, to play – to create. These are suggested as design principles. In the second layer, the workshop design is theory infused with Winther’s concepts for embodied professional competence. As a result, the authors argue that bodily planning is of high value to really sense what is at stake when aiming at developing workshop design for bodily professional knowledge.

Authors: I Faur
Published: October 2022

Aim of the Study: The main of this study is to analyze the influence of obesity over the intraoperative, in the context of total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Material and Methods: The study developed in the 2nd Surgical Clinic of the “Pius Brinzeu” County Emergency Hospital Timisoara between 1st of January 2017- 1st of January 2019 and it was applied to a general batch of 29 women patients diagnosed with benign pathology of the uterus and adnexa. Results: The general batch we considered necessary some type of categorization of the women patients based on the BMI: Group A: BMI= 19.5-24.9 kg/m2; Group B: BMI= 25-29.9 kg/m2; Group C: BMI>30 kg/m2. A positive moderated co-relation between the number of the comorbidities and the BMI (r=0,493, p<0,05). Somehow self-explanatory, it was emphasized the fact that group B and C which contained mostly patients with BMI limit over the usual one, it was remarked a proportional increase of the comorbidities at the same time with the increase of the BMI. A strong positive co-relation between the BMI and the intervention time (p=0.047), therefore, those two being tied by proportional increase relation. In this way we obtained a statistically significant co-relation between BMI and the post-operative complications (p<0.05) but with a low number of major complication on the general batch. Conclusion: By analyzing the comorbidities and the post-operative evolution, minor differences were encountered between the study groups, and it was demonstrated that there is no reason to see a high BMI level as an obstacle in performing TLH
Torsion of Giant (3 Kg) Non - Gravid Myomatous Uterus with Congenital Cervical Agenesis with Absence of Right Side Ovary and Fallopian Tube: Extremely Rare Case

Published: October 2022

Uterine torsion is defined as rotation of the uterus around its longitudinal access by more than 45 degrees. Uterine torsion is supposed to be a rare entity with a combination of diagnostic as well as management challenges. The uterine torsion is mostly associated with uterine anomalies and torsion is common in a gravid urus rather than a non-gravid uterus. Till date, less than fifty such cases have been reported. Here we report a case report of gynaecology uterine torsion over its axis, which was an incidental finding and was managed with great surgical expertise and during the times of COVID pandemic.
The Mechanism by Which Chemotherapy with use of Alkylating Agents Cause Follicular Activation: Is there any Further Mode for the Loss of the Primordial Follicles? A Short Communication

A lot of women In their reproductive life go through treatment with a lot of chemotherapeutic drugs of which the alkylating agents which are inclusive of cyclophosphamide, busulphan, along with dacarbazine, more specifically cyclophosphamide, whose utilization is considered for a lot of chemotherapy protocols like In breast cancer, In cases of chronic lymphoblastic leukaemia in children and we encounter survivors of these cancers with usual manifestation of Premature ovarian insufficiency(POI). Thus detailed evaluation was attempted by Shai et al., In case of human ovaries immediately In which fresh ovarian tissue that was obtained from ladies following receipt of alkylating agents, non-alkylating agent in addition to that collected from those who did not get treatment. They corroborated the existence of significant depletion of primordial follicles (PMF’s), in addition to significant escalation of the absolute quantities of growing follicles in contrast to ovaries collected from those who did not get treatment. Staining done for FOXO3A demonstrated reduction in the nuclear existence in the PMF oocytes in cases where ovaries removed were from patients receiving treatment with alkylating agent in the ultra-short period following alkylating agents. No escalation in the expression of the cleaved caspase 3 was observed in PMF’s within the ovaries that got alkylating agents or non-alkylating agents exposure. Marked stromal fibrosis in addition to neovascularization was seen in alkylating agents treatment group only following loss of PMF had occurred earlier (4-6mths). This is a great study despite them unable to demonstrate the phosphorylated FOXO3A. Although it was anticipated that they would further show the part of PI3K/Akt pathway that possesses major part in the follicular activation although they explained in view of immediate preservation of ovaries In formaldehyde in addition to embedding In paraffin. Thus this study goes a long way in explaining the cause of follicular loss following treatment with alkylating agents and aid in the strategies we need to use to avoid the same once feasible.
What is the Impact of Mosaicism for Embryo Selection: Experience Obtained Subsequent to the 1000 Mosaic Embryo Transfer- A Mini Review
Authors: K Kochar Kaur
Published: October 2022

Chromosomal mosaicism, implying the co-occurrence of cells having possession of separate Chromosomal amount, has got illustrated in human embryos for the past3 decades. The initial versions that were generated with regards to preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) did not estimate mosaicism, in view of classically just the evaluation of a single cell was carried out or the approach did not possess the capacity of precise Identification. Despite, a straight forward diagnosis was yielded (an embryo got the label of normal or abnormal, thus just evading the topic, with now as hindsight might have been resulting in umpteen mistakes in the diagnosis that caused negative clinical outcomes .The modern PGT-A estimates a multicellular trophectoderm biopsy sample with the methodology possessing the capacity of recognition of intermediate copy number signals for the chromosomes or the subchromosomal areas. Thus we get faced with the topic of mosaicism in addition to thehurdles with regards to the management of the embryos that generate such outcomes in the clinical scenario. Here we conducted a systematic mini review utilizing search engine pubmed, google scholar; web of science; embase; Cochrane review library utilizing the MeSH terms for this mini review like PGT-A; aneuploidy; euploidy; mosaicism; implantation; ongoing pregnancy; spontaneous abortions; 100-1000mosaic embryo transfer study/studies; self-correction of mosaic embryos; multipolar mitosis; tripolar mitosis; low mosaic; high mosaic; final outcomes from 1990 to 2021 till date. We found a total of 500 articles out of which we selected 38 articles for this mini review. No meta-analysis was done. Here we have tried to detail the that demonstrated that mosaicism besides in general, however particular characteristics picked up with PGT-A are correlated with differing clinical outcomes. Thus requirements are there regarding mosaicism to get considered in the context of greater informed in addition to embryo selection in the clinical scenario
Thermal Operational Map of an ESP-In-Skid Motor: A CFD Approach
Authors: DC Ribeiro
Published: October 2022

The production of oil in offshore wells has used artificial lifting methods in order to maintain or increase production. In this sense, several established methods for onshore production, such as electrical submersible pumping (ESP), have been implemented in offshore scenarios and, as a consequence, new challenges and needing improvements to optimize production in this type of environment had to be faced. Many studies concern the gas-liquid flow inside de pump but avoid include the motor and its thermal management. In this context, this study focused to assess the complex flow around an ESP motor installed in subsea skids on the seabed (Skid-ESP) through the analysis of their operational and geometric conditions using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool. The main question is: is it possible to create a thermal operational map of the motor in function of motor frequency with CFD tools? The Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) model was applied together with a homogeneous heat transfer (shared temperature field among phases) coupled to the heat conduction inside motor. This approach is known as Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT). The ESP motor is modeled as a homogeneous and isotropic body with constant volumetric heat generation. The flow analysis was performed applying the model on an industrial scale with incompressible oil and gas in in-situ conditions and considering the heat transfer between the fluid mixture and the its boundary conditions (seawater constant temperature of 4°C and variable motor heat flux as function of motor frequency). The motor frequency range considered was between 40 and 60 Hz. Since the model used was 3D, hot spots were observed at the low part of near seal motor side for gas volume fraction above 3.5%. The employed methodology was able to determine the thermal operational map with a 5% average deviation from field data.

Hydraulic fracturing has become a critical component of global petroleum and natural gas development, with most the countries around the globe, for example, Canada, India, England, and China actively pursuing the implementation of this technology to increase oil production after declination as well as tap into this new source of energy. Hydraulic fracturing has created jobs and increased revenue in several states across the country. However, as with any advanced technology, there are concerns about its long-term environmental impact. Thus, many researchers and technicians continuously conduct advanced studies to inform industries about any new or upcoming regulations. In this study, a mini-review of the fracking process is considered an important section of the petroleum and natural gas industries. Moreover, researchers demonstrated knowledge about the frac systems and different hydraulic fracturing fluids that are utilized for a fracking job which were different from one fracking system to another in addition to the nature of the reservoir formation. It is a significant factor that production engineers take into consideration when applying hydraulic fracturing to enhance oil or gas production and treat the formation damage, as well. Since the formation damage considers the most critical issue affecting oil and gas production due to fine migration.

Authors: M Halafawi
Published: October 2022

A secondary recovery techniques are those used after natural energy depletion of an oil or a gas reservoir to boost its production such as gas lift and water injection. Both methods have been proved their success and effectiveness for enhancing field production. However, each reservoir or field has its own criteria and they may be ineffective depending field criteria and future plans. Furthermore, a field development strategy is considered as a key activity for enhancing the field recovery. Therefore, the aim of this article is to do well thermal simulation and analysis during making gas lift and water injection for Magurele field development at different conditions such temperature, tubing size, and production parameters. Several strategies are suggested from putting a new drilled well (M#206) on production till abandonment. A sensitivity study is done to know the effect geothermal zones and tubing size on well performance and flow regimes. It was found that utilizing a reservoir temperature of 70°C and tubing 3 1/2, all production activities displayed normal fluid and wellbore temperature profiles, using larger tubing or producing from the high temperature (HT) zone has only a minimal impact on the pressure profile, only slightly increasing surface pressures and The suggested production activities are unaffected by the higher temperature. With regard to the flow regime created by strategies, starting usage circumstances for tubing 3 1/2", with the exception of injection, which is turbulent in all scenarios, the flow regime is slug flow between 70°C and HT zones. Additionally, it seems like the bubbly flow is at shallower depths. Due to the use of 4 1/2-inch, the flow regime is altered to transitional and bubbly flows at deeper depths. This study helps to maximize the reservoir output and keep the new drilled wells usable and useful as long as possible.
Mathematical Modelling and Simulation of Aluminium Filling in Conical Pipe and Cylindrical Pipe under High Pressure
Authors: JG Abuga
Published: October 2022

The desired technology for manufacturing light-weight components from metal alloys mostly aluminum and magnesium alloy is Die casting. High pressure die casting requires the liquid metal to be forced at high speed and pressure through a metal pipe. In our study, we seek to study Aluminum filling under high pressure in two different pipes, cylindrical and conical pipes. Two cases are considered for the cylindrical pipe, when the pipe vertical and when the pipe in inclined at an angle of 450 with the horizontal. The governing equations are obtained and the results are compared. The governing equations are obtained and modeling is done using ANSYS FLUENT. The results show that inclining the cylindrical pipe causes a shift in the oscillations and the inclined pipe has slightly lower amplitude of oscillation implying a greater loss of energy due to the inclination. The inclined cylindrical pipe has higher damping compared to the vertical cylindrical pipe. It is also evident that the conical pipe has higher oscillations than the cylindrical pipe implying a greater loss of energy for the conical cylindrical.
