Authors: Yodiatmana Yodiatmana , Kartini Kartini
Published: December 2022

This research aims to describe the types of student errors in solving logarithmic problems. The subjects in this study were class X students of SMAN 15 Pekanbaru City, Riau Province. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection techniques using written tests and documentation. Data analysis used descriptive qualitative analysis by compiling various kinds of student error data as material for research. In this analysis, the types of student errors are categorized based on Kastolan stages. Based on the results of the study, there are still many students who need help solving logarithmic problems. The most errors were conceptual errors at 74.14%, followed by procedural errors at 15.52%, and types of errors with the least technical errors at 10.34%. Conceptual errors indicate a weak understanding of the properties of logarithms, so they cannot apply them. The second type of procedural error occurs due to unsystematic settlement and exit from a predetermined procedure. The kind of error with the lowest percentage is a technique that shows the accuracy of students' calculations in solving problems. This happens because of a need for more thoroughness with the signs that must be used.

Humans have a natural affiliation with nature which can even be genetically traced back into history. Biophilia is the inherent human inclination to affiliate with nature, that even in the modern world, continues to be critical to people’s physical and mental health, and well-being. The Hospitality Industry is a sector that can get the maximum benefit from this affiliation. Guests' opinions and feedback are highly valid, as they are the real users of hotel spaces. The primary aim of the research is to correlate the user experience to the role of biophilic designs in hotel spaces. This qualitative study is based on the twenty-five-point biophilic design framework by Kellert and utilises user surveys to collect and collate relationships. Heritance Kandalama, Sri Lanka is analysed as a case study. Results show that users associate biophilic design elements as essential generators of their spatial experience and that the guest experience of study-identified hotel spaces varies according to different biophilic triggers. Further, spaces created within a conceptually cohesive whole can hold a varied experience. In conclusion, the application of the biophilic framework as a guide for architectural meaning and spatial variance of experience is deemed effective.

Publisher of Intellectual Literature as a Maker of Culture
Authors: Shchedrina Tatiana G.
Published: December 2022

How do we cognize the intellectual culture of different eras? We turn to books, magazines, newspapers, in which ideas, signs, symbols, emotions and other signs of the times are imprinted in various forms. We discover authors whose reasoning makes us look at our modernity in a new way. We even pay attention to the illustrators who created the unique face of paper products. But often we do not pay attention to the one who made possible our acquaintance with this historical world of life and thought. The figure of the publisher has a very modest place in our perception of culture. Only “stars”-authors remain in the public mind (who today will remember the publisher Dostoevsky or Jules Verne), and historians of book publishing, as a rule, limit themselves to retelling published books and biographies of authors, and yet it is the figure of the publisher that is especially relevant today. They not only “cultivated” the intellectual space of the era, but, as entrepreneurs, they programmed new forms of activity. If we recall the term of J. Schumpeter, they created by destroying... This feature of the publisher of intellectual literature manifests especially in times of crisis. To comprehend the historical experience of the publisher of intellectual literature, we turn to the epistolary heritage of the Russian emigres in the 1930s, when Nazism was just beginning its march across Europe. The archive of the philosopher, musician Yevsey Davidovich Schor preserved correspondence with the founder of publishing house Vita Nova (Vita Nova Verlag), German cultural figure Rudolf Rössler. Their letters reveal to us both the dynamics of the publishing process and the role of the Publisher as a cultural maker.
Ideas of Civic Education in Modern Republicanism
Authors: Serebryakov Artem S.
Published: December 2022

the article deals with the ideas of civic education discussed in modern republicanism. The political tradition of republicanism is focused on the problems of freedom and non-domination, political participation and collective decision-making, civic virtues and obligations. Starting from the ancient sources, republicanism emphasized the importance of civic education and the inseparable bond between pedagogy and politics. The article shows why contemporary theorists, notably Isolt Honohan, Andrew Peterson, and Jeffrey Hinchlief, believe that republican ideas about education will be highly sought for in today's society experiencing a crisis of political participation and of trust in public institutions. The ideas of civic education seem like an alternative to those models that consider education to be a market service and reduce it to the private sphere. Republican education implies a high degree of school self-government, the deliberation between students on moral and political issues, and has much in common with emancipatory theories of education. In conclusion, the article raises the question of the necessity for a philosophical conceptualization of childhood in relation to the development of a republican political project that relies on civic education.

Relevance. Mnestic functions in patients after stroke and coronavirus infection are not restored completely. Nowadays, the search for ways to overcome in such patients is actual.

Objective: to find out the possibility of cognitive deficiency’ overcoming in persons after stroke who have suffered from COVID-19 by Phenibut pharmacocorrection and magnetic therapy.

Materials and methods. 46 patients aged 40-60 years who had COVID-19 in anamnesis and ischemic stroke in the post-covid period were divided into 3 groups at the stage of comprehensive rehabilitation. In the 1st group (n=15) - the control group - no nootropic drugs and physiotherapeutic procedures were not asdministered; in group 2 (n=15), magnet stimulation procedures were performed for 20 days (frequency of basic impulses 180-195 Hz, frequency of a group of impulses 12,5-29 Hz, average induction of magnetic fields within 100 μT); group 3 (n=16) took Phenibut (β-Phenyl-GABA) one tablet (250 mg) 3 times a day for three months.

The study of cognitive functions was carried out with the help of a short mental state scale - MMSE, a set of tests for the study of frontal dysfunction - FAB, a test for memorizing of 10 words according to the A.R. Luria’s method and clock drawing testing All groups were tested twice: at the beginning of the study and after three months.

The obtained data were processed statistically; an ordinal logistic regression model was applied, in particular logistic regression with a cumulative relationship.

The results. In group 2 the result of the subtest "Voluntary attention" improved (3,8±0,3 points vs. 3,1±0,2 in the control) and the FAB test (15, 2±1,2 points vs. 11,3±0,4 in control).

In group 3, the cognitive functions in the MMSE (26,1±0,8 points vs. 21,2±0,6 in the control) and FAB (16,3±0,6 points vs. 11,3±0,4) tests probably improved. The results of the subtests "Discretionary attention" (3,8±0,1 points vs. 3,1±0,1) and "Memory" (2,6±0,2 points vs. 2,0±0,1) improved. In the test for 10 words memorizing, the difference in indicators, compared to the control, was in each subsequent presentation: 1,0±0,05; 1,1±0,09; 1,7±0,10 words, in delayed presentation 1,75±0,05 (in all cases p<0.05).

Conclusions. The use of Phenibut and magnetic therapy in patients who have suffered a stroke after COVID-19 leads to regression of cognitive deficiency and depressive symptoms. The effect of Phenibut turned out to be better - the odds ratio, compared to the control, was 13,1.

Relevance. The health of teenagers should be assessed not only by their morphometric data, but also by the functional state of the main organs and systems that provide adaptive reserve potential.

Objective. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the functional capabilities of the cardiovascular system of teenagers according to biomechanical  indexes  of blood circulation.

Methods and materials. 272 teenagers aged 13–14 (176 boys and 96 girls) participated in the study. Among the boys, there are 104 pupils of the basic medical group of physical education and 72 of the preparatory group (2nd health group). There were 48 primary and 48 preparatory group pupils among the girls. The results of Kubicek rheography and rheovasography were used to study the biomechanical parameters of the cardiovascular system. They were evaluated using the methods of mathematical statistics (the MedStat program (Ye. Lyakh, 2006)).

Results. There were no any statistically significant differences between most of the rheovasographic parameters of the students of the preparatory and basic medical groups of physical education. Instead, there are certain distinctive features of the peripheral blood flow of pupils of the preparatory group of physical education (with reduced functional capabilities). Thus, the , indexes of the rapid filling timing in the pupils of the preparatory group of physical education are lower than in the main group.In the boys of the preparatory group of physical education on both hands and in the girls of this group on the left hand, the blood flow time for the forearms is slightly increased. Greater deviations from the norm for the amplitude of rheograms were found in pupils of the preparatory group of physical education.

The number of pupils with asymmetric blood supply to the forearms in the preparatory group of physical education is more than in the main group. A decrease in the blood supply of the vessels of the forearms is registered more often in teenagers who are assigned to the preparatory group of physical education. In the boys of the preparatory group of physical education, the blood vessels of the shins are worse.

Conclusions. Some distinctive features for the state of peripheral blood flow of teenagers in the preparatory group of physical education were revealed. Thus, the indexes of the rapid filling timing, the amplitude of the rheograms were lower, and the time of propagation of the pulse wave was higher than normal. Asymmetry and decreased blood flow in the vessels of the upper and lower extremities were noted in most teenagers with impaired

Relevance. The priorities of modern agricultural production are the application of new pesticides that are highly effective, safe for humans and do not have a negative impact on environmental objects. The most promising is the synthesis of substances from natural materials or their synthetic analogues (pesticides of biological origin). These include avermectin class substance – milbemectin.

Objective of the work was the toxicological and hygienic evaluation of the new active ingredient of the aversectins class - milbemectin and the formulation based on it Milbeknok 1%, CE, substantiation of the acceptable daily dose (ADD) of milbemectin.

Materials and methods. Expert-analytical, toxicological and hygienic methods, analysis of literature data were used during the research. The hygienic assessment of the toxicity of milbemectin and the formulation based on it was carried out in accordance with State Standard 8.8.1.002-98 “Hygienic classification of pesticides by degree of hazard”.

Results. The analysis of the acute toxicity of the formulation and its active ingredient showed that Milbeknok 1%, CE, according to State Standard 8.8.1.002-98, belongs to the 3rd class of hazard, and milbemectin – to the 2nd class, according to the limiting criterion – acute inhalation toxicity.

In short-term and long-term experiments with rats, mice and dogs, the main effect of milbemectin exposure was general toxicity and hepatotoxicity. According to carcinogenicity, reproductive and embryotoxicity, milbemectin is pertained to the 3rd class of hazard.

Substantiating the ADD of milbemectin we used the smallest NO(A)EL value of 3 mg/kg, established for the general toxic effect in the experiment to study the chronic effect on dogs and safety factor of 1000 (taking into account the lack of a study of developmental neurotoxicity and limited data on reproductive toxicity of the compound): ADD = 3/1000 = 0.003 mg/kg.

Conclusions. It was established that the Milbeknok 1%, CE pertains to the 3rd class, and its active substance - to the 2nd class of hazard, according to the limiting criterion – acute inhalation toxicity. The substantiated ADD value of milbemectin is 0.003 mg/kg.

Authors: Bamigbala O. A. , Ojetunde A.O. , Okorie C.E.
Published: December 2022

Relevance. The break-up and exit of the dominant follicle into the fallopian tube from the ovary is a physiological event known as ovulation. To determine fertility chances, it is essential to understand the physiology of the ovulatory cycle.

Objective. This study assesses the knowledge of the ovulatory cycle (KOC) and associated factors among reproductive-age women in Nigeria.

Materials and methods. The research was based on 2018 NDHS data (which was the most current at the time of this study). 90,290 women of reproductive age were taken into account for this investigation. The methods of analysis used are percentage, frequency, chi-square test and Binary Logistic Regression Analysis. p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

Results. Only 25% of the 90,290 reproductive women included in the investigation were found to be knowledgeable of the ovulatory cycle. The study revealed that age, region, place of residence (urban), religion, marital status (living with a partner), maternal education (primary and higher education), husband's educational level and women's media exposure had a significant effect on knowledge of the ovulatory cycle.

Conclusion. KOC, however, was low (25%), necessitating the development and implementation of reproductive health services through community media campaigns and health promotion. The authors of this study urge the Nigerian Ministry of Health to prioritize improving the reproductive health of women by prioritizing adolescents and those with less education. Additionally, media initiatives might be strengthened to improve women's KOC, which is essential for preventing unwanted pregnancy.

Published: December 2022

Objective: Femoral neck fractures mostly occurs due to high-energy trauma in young population and management differs compared to elderly. Different geometric parameters in the hip joint can play a role in fracture morphology regarding to the age. Present study aims to compare hip morphology between young and elderly population
Materials and methods: 45 patients with isolated femoral neck fracture included to the study. Patients were divided into two regarding to the age; group 1 (younger than 60 yr.) and group 2 (older than 60 yr.). Garden and Pauwels classifications, Sharp angle (acetabular index-AI), acetabular depth (AD), Hip-axis length (HLA), Neck-shaft angle (NSA), Center-edge angle (CE), Singh indexes and femur head extrusion indexes were compared between groups.
Results: The mean age of group 1 (22 patients) was 48 ± 10.4 while the mean age of group 2 (23 patients) was 77 ± 6.3. Significant differences found in 3 parameters; the mean HLA (13.4 ± 1.4 cm vs 12 ± 1.1 cm) (p: 0,034), the Sharp angle (37.9° ± 5° vs 40.3° ± 3°) (p: 0.047) and the CE (38.1° ± 6.2° vs 34.8° ± 4.5°) (p: 0.48) between group 1 and 2 respectively. No statistically significant difference was found in terms of AD, NSA, Singh index and extrusion index.
Conclusions: Our study shows influence of proximal femoral and acetabular morphology on femoral neck fracture in young patients and may help future studies to reveal the relevance between hip morphology and fractures type.

Published: December 2022

Literature was reviewed semi-systematically with the purpose of generating Philippines-specific data for the patient journey stages for dyslipidemia and hypertension, namely, awareness, screening, diagnosis, treatment, adherence, and control.
A structured search was conducted on EMBASE and MEDLINE databases for studies published in English in the last 10 years, whose full text was available. An unstructured search was conducted on Google, and websites of health ministries and international organizations, without any limits. The last search was run for dyslipidemia on 12.11.2019 and for hypertension on 28.07.2020. For dyslipidemia, six records out of 590 records were retrieved, and for hypertension, seven records and one unpublished conference presentation out of 160 records retrieved, were included in the final synthesis.
The review estimated that in the Philippines, the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 38.8%, while 59.0% of patients were undergoing treatment, with 44.2% of patients achieving control. Prevalence of hypertension was 27.5% and estimated rates at different stages of patient journey were- awareness- 61.5%, screening- 3.2%, diagnosis- 39.7%, treatment- 65.4%, adherence- 57%, and control- 57.6%. Potential contributory factors for low assessment rates and suboptimal management include low doctor-to-population ratio, inadequate time for screening and counseling, absence of locally validated tools for cardiovascular screening, low awareness and utilization of clinical practice guidelines, and some misperceptions of current treatment recommendations.
Effective training of physicians, patient education initiatives, and multi-sectoral coordination are some of the recommendations to improve the status of management of dyslipidemia and hypertension in the Philippines.

Published: December 2022

Objective: To evaluate the effects of risk factors on progression in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG).
Materials and methods: The study included 139 patients with POAG and XFG followed up at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Ophthalmology, Glaucoma Unit. A number of factors were evaluated through a cross-sectional design for all the patients, including age, sex, hypertension, diabetes, thyroid disease, cardiovascular disease, migraine, alcohol, smoking, family history, affected side, lens status, central corneal thickness (CCT), number of medications, body mass index (BMI), cup-to-disc (C/D) ratio, intraocular pressure (IOP), computerized automated visual field mean deviation (MD), and prior surgery.
Results: The patients were divided into two groups, POAG and XFG, and further divided into the following two subgroups: progressive and non-progressive. Of the patients, 75 (53.9%) had POAG, and 64 (46.1%) had XFG. In the patients followed up, annual MD change was 0.96 ± 1.5 dB/year, baseline MD was −5.06 ± 5.61 dB, and IOP was 15.94 ± 1.93 mmHg. Potential risk factors for progression in the whole group were evaluated, but no significant difference was found between the groups with and without progression for all factors. Subgroup analysis revealed that in the POAG group, BMI was significantly higher in the non-progressive disease subgroup (p=0.01); furthermore, in the XFG group, IOP was significantly higher in the progressive disease subgroup (p=0.02). According to multiple logistic regression analysis, a 1-unit decrease in BMI in the POAG group increased the risk by 1.3 times (p=0.01), and smoking in the XFG group resulted in a 6-fold reduction in the risk of progression (p=0.04).
Conclusion: Although mean IOP was higher in XFG group, the present study found BMI in POAG and smoking in XFG as independent factors that reduced progression in our series.

Published: December 2022

Purpose: Returning to work requires a certain period of time for patients who have suffered a hand injury as a result of a work accident. Evaluating the factors influencing the time to return to work (time off work) is aimed.
Methods: A total of 111 patients were involved in the study. Data collected from medical records and phone reviews. Independent variables such as age, gender, Hand Injury Severity Scale (HISS) score, fracture on plain radiography, treatment method (surgical/conservative), physical demand of the occupation, mechanism of injury, and physiotherapy were reviewed. Afterwards, the relationship between these variables and time to return to work has been evaluated.
Results: In 111 subjects, 107 were able to resume their previous jobs after the injury. Average time to return to work was 58.6 days among patients who were able to return to work. It took more time for patients to return to work which were considered heavy/very heavy. Patients with fractures, higher HISS scores, who were treated surgically and undergone physiotherapy returned to work later. The effect of age, gender and mechanism of injury was statistically insignificant.
Conclusion: HISS score and fracture on radiography can be used to predict time off work following surgery. If the necessary counseling is given to the patients with these conditions, it will be easier to plan the return of the patients to their lives.

Results: There were 23(25.8%), 31(34.8%), 2(2.2%), and 33(37.1%) patients in GOLD gropus A, B, C, and D, respectively. Among these, A and B groups are considered as low-risk, and C and D groups are considered as high-risk. High risk patients had higher mCCI (p < 0.001) and were more likely to have hypertension (p=0.012), congestive cardiac failure (p=0.029), chronic renal failure (p=0.022), osteoporosis (p=0.001), and anemia (p<0.001). In a logistic regression analysis performed to examine the determinants of high-risk status in COPD-GOLD groups, biomass exposure was found to increase the likelihood of having a high risk-status by 3-fold.
Conclusion: Classification of stable COPD patients according to GOLD groups showed higher mCCI in subjects with high-risk status. Comorbidities and mCCI did not appear to affect the high-risk status. Biomass exposure was associated with an increased risk of having a high-risk status.

Plastic production has become a global concern, including in Bangladesh. Among all types of plastic products, single-use plastic is considered treacherous and the most responsible for damaging the natural environment. To replace plastics on a daily usage basis, the entrepreneurs of Bangladesh have reiterated some initiatives to manufacture and promote plastic alternatives. This study aims to assess the market potential, existing challenges, and users’/customers’ perceptions of the plastic alternative industry in Bangladesh. Key informant interviews (KIIs) with structured questionnaires were conducted among 15 plastic alternative entrepreneurs and 30 customers through online platforms. The framework analysis method was used to analyse and interpret the collected data. Despite highlighting some challenges, plastic alternative entrepreneurs contribute significantly to replacing plastic products, and the market potential is quite promising for this industry. Moreover, this study portrays an efficacious inclination of consumer behaviours towards using plastic alternatives. By following the concept of the green economy, the entrepreneurs of the plastic alternative industry in Bangladesh are gradually able to replace plastic products and contribute toward building a sustainable city

PUBLIC SPEAKING MELALUI KOMPETISI BERBAHASA INGGRIS DARING
Authors: Putri Ramadhani, Kurnia Ulfa
Published: December 2022

ABSTRAKPublic Speaking adalah salah satu kemampuan berbahasa Inggris yang wajib dikuasai oleh mahasiswa perguruan tinggi. Kemampuan ini dianggap penting karena mahasiswa sebagai agent of change atau agen perubahan harus mampu berkomunikasi di depan umum terutama pada saat mempresentasikan tugas kuliah dan setelah tamat dari perguruan tinggi, kemampuan retorika atau public speaking ini sangat membantu keberhasilan dalam dunia kerja saat berhadapan dengan masyarakat. Permasalahan yang muncul dalam dunia perkuliahan yaitu rendahnya minat dan kemampuan mahasiswa untuk mempraktikkan kemampuan public speaking terutama dalam berpidato menggunakan bahasa Inggris di depan umum. Masalah ini hadir karena beberapa faktor yaitu; metode pengajaran yang tidak efektif dari sekolah dasar hingga sekolah menengah umum, kurangnya paraktik dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan kurangnya kepercayaan diri.Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menstimulasi kemampuan dan minat para mahasiswa melakukan public speaking khususnya praktik (English Speech) atau pidato bahasa Inggris melalui kompetisi daring (online) antar perguruan tinggi. Stimulasi atau dorongan yang dilakukan terhadap mahasiswa dengan cara mempraktikkan kemampuan berpidato bahasa Inggris yang dilakukan di rumah tanpa harus berpidato di depan umum, lalu mahasiswa mengirimkan video yang berdurasi 4-5 menit untuk dinilai oleh dewan juri yang berkompeten dibidangnya. Stimulasi ini mampu mendorong minat para mahasiswa karena sistem perlombaan daring (online) ini bisa dilakukan di rumah tanpa harus berinteraksi di depan umum, sehingga faktor tidak percaya diri bisa diminimalkan.
GRAMATICAL RELATION ON OBJECT IN DELI JAVANESE DIALECT: TYPOLOGY STUDY
Authors: Zuindra Zuindra
Published: December 2022

This research is aimed at describing one of the properties of grammatical relation namely object in Deli Javanese Language (DJL). The purpose of this research is to analyze the forms of the object based on its behavior which depicts (a) FN as object controlling object prefix on verb, (b) FN as object directly follows verb and (c) object as FN can be raised to the position of Subject through the process of passivity. This research refers to the grammatical relation concept of tipology study by obtaining the data from text books, journals and interview. The result showed that object relation was an FN that directly follows verbs and could not be inserted by any adverb. The verb prefix as transitive verb could be placed after subject and it needed an object as the second arguments of the clause. Object relation, then, could be raised to subject position at the DJL passivity; meanwhile the subject of original clause became an Oblique relation. Furthermore these  findings are expected to give much contribution on understanding in studying gramatical relation with Typology approach.

Numerical Calculation of Influencing Parameters on the Seam Allowances of Textile Materials During Ultrasonic Welding
Authors: KYOSEV Yordan , REİCH Alexander
Published: December 2022

The ultrasonic welding process allows economically efficient and safe for the workers waterproof joining of textile materials and is applied in the production of various technical textiles, protective clothing, and other types of textile products. In this latest research work, a flexible, textile-based heating element is produced by the connection of waterproof laminated textiles using ultrasonic technique. This novel product allows completely new options for the design of flexible heating and cooling elements for rooms and various other applications but requires high quality seams.

This work starts with the theoretical background about the heating of the textile until reaching the welding temperature within the welding zone. The heat flow through the volume of the welded textiles is investigated numerically using Finite Element Method software. The simulation is performed for different sizes and configurations of the seam allowances, so that options between overlapping only in the pressed area without side allowance (no free allowance), small allowance, and larger allowance are simulated. These simulations demonstrate different distributions of the temperature in the seam cross-section at the different configurations, because of the different amounts of textile material around the welding place.
