Design and Implementation of Network Security Systems on Virtualized Networks
Authors: Syam Akmal Baharuddin , Rahman Rakhmadi
Published: February 2025

This report, entitled "Design and Implementation of Network Security Systems on Virtualized Networks," was prepared to fulfill the final assignment of the Network Security course at the Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie Institute of Technology (ITH). This research aims to design, implement and identify network security vulnerabilities in a virtualization environment using Proxmox Virtual Environment (Proxmox VE) in VirtualBox. The research results show that Proxmox VE in VirtualBox is less successful in optimizing software-hardware resources by implementing security mechanisms such as firewalls, encryption, IDS/IPS, VPN, and IAM. Even though it has several shortcomings, Proxmox VE has proven to be effective in managing virtual networks safely and efficiently when carried out outside of VirtualBox. This research also provides practical experience for students in implementing and identifying network security vulnerabilities, preparing them for real-world challenges.
Human Dignity as the Foundation of Peremptory Norms in International Law: Theoretical Considerations and Practical Implications
Authors: Karliuha Yelyzaveta
Published: February 2025

The concept of human dignity receives considerable scholarly attention in international law. More often, however, such studies primarily focus on the genesis, definition, and functions of human dignity across various domains of international law, particularly within the ambit of international human rights law. This research seeks to inquire into a less-explored connection between human dignity and jus cogens. Such an attempt is made to elucidate the foundational character of human dignity for peremptory norms through the examination of travaux préparatoires of the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, relevant treaties, as well as international and domestic jurisprudence. The overarching aim of this study is twofold: firstly, to enrich the discourse on human dignity by examining it as a general legal principle underpinning jus cogens, while illuminating its operational role within the international legal order; secondly, to provide further insights into the legal category of jus cogens by delineating the rationale for its existence and the foundations that support it.

Published: February 2025

This study investigates the design of electromagnetic devices, specifically wave rotators and cloaks, utilizing a polar rose-shaped structure. By applying the principles of transformation optics, the constitutive parameters – permittivity and permeability tensors – are analytically derived for transforming virtual space in cylindrical coordinates to physical space in Cartesian coordinates. Both integer and fractional indices of the rose configurations are considered, each yielding distinct electromagnetic properties. The analytical findings are validated and supported by numerical simulations conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics. The results highlight the tunability and adaptability of the proposed structures in controlling electromagnetic wave propagation, exhibiting rotational dynamics, cloaking, and absorption phenomena. Potential applications of these rose-shaped structures are briefly discussed.
Soft computing and eddy currents to estimate and classify delaminations in biomedical device CFRP plates
Authors: Versaci Mario , Laganà Filippo , Manin Laura , Angiulli Giovanni
Published: February 2025

This paper presents an approach based on eddy currents induced by suitable magnetic induction fields to test, estimate, and classify subsurface delaminations in Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) plates for biomedical devices. The two-dimensional maps obtained, characterised by high fuzziness, required the software development of a procedure based on a highly efficient fuzzy classifier that exploits fuzzy similarity computations with reduced computational load by collecting similar maps (deriving from equally similar defects) in specific defects. The hardware implementation of what is designed in software (plate-probe system) detects and evaluates the entity of the defects due to delaminations by a classification percentage comparable with the performances obtained from more sophisticated classifiers, providing a possible tool for evaluating the delaminations potentially useful to assess aircraft compliance with applicable safety standards.
Music Therapy in the Treatment: of People with Hearing Deficits: A Review of Selected Strategies
Authors: Surma Joanna
Published: February 2025

The paper deals with the question of music making in people with hearing deficits, showing the main advantages of such practice. It examines differences between ‘hearing’ in a medical sense and ‘musical hearing’ which is semantically much wider and involves different parts of the brain. Using various examples, the paper proves the possibility of music making even in the case of acute, bilateral or prelingual hearing impairment, but emphasises the necessity of Individualized Education Programme implementation to successfully face challenges posed by hearing deficits. The paper describes the main difficulties and challenges that deaf individuals face during the music learning process, and sums up strategies for musical pedagogy recommended in research studies since the second half of the twentieth century. Elements such as melodic patterns, rhythm and harmony are discussed. The teaching methodology presented in this paper focuses on multisensory approaches that may compensate for hearing loss, underlining such aspects as imagination, movement coordination, visual and haptic stimuli. Different types of hearing loss are presented, depending on their medical causes, hypoacusis level, onset time, and articulation ability in the context of music making. The article emphasises the beneficial role of active music-making for the patient’s well-being, especially for memory training, developing the emotional sphere, improvement of prosodic elements in speech, and tinnitus relief.

Authors: Susilowati  , Romadoni Atika Wahyu Wulan , Ramadhan Dimas Anugrah , Jimmy Jimmy
Published: February 2025

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ferric chloride (FeCl₃) and zeolite as adsorbents in reducing copper content and dye pollutants in batik wastewater.
 
Theoretical Framework: Adsorption was chosen as the method for this study due to its suitability in addressing the challenges of batik wastewater treatment. Modifications in the preparation of adsorbents represent an effective approach for developing adsorption models and assessing their performance. The adsorbent used in this study is FeCl₃/zeolite, a composite material created through an impregnation process that combines ferric chloride (FeCl₃) and zeolite. The working mechanism of the FeCl₃/zeolite adsorbent involves coagulation and adsorption processes conducted within a laboratory-scale adsorption column. The effectiveness of the adsorbent is demonstrated by its significant ability to reduce heavy metal copper content and dye pollutants.
 
Method: The materials used for adsorbent preparation include zeolite and FeCl₃. Zeolite is activated using HCl to enhance its pore size. Subsequently, the zeolite is impregnated with FeCl₃ at a ratio of 3:1 for 3 hours under stirring at 250 rpm. The mixture is then filtered to separate the filtrate and precipitate. The precipitate is calcined at 200°C for 2 hours and characterized using SEM-EDX to analyze the adsorbent's properties. Finally, the prepared adsorbent is applied to treat batik wastewater.
 
Results and Discussion: The best results obtained from the study show that the FeCl₃/zeolite adsorbent achieved a maximum reduction in Cu content of 30% and a dye reduction of 27.86%. These results were achieved using 450 grams of adsorbent and an adsorption time of 10 minutes.
 
Research Implications: The results of this study are presented as data, which can be used as a reference or input for wastewater management, particularly for batik wastewater. Additionally, the findings can serve as a basis for environmental monitoring and control efforts.
 
Originality/Value: The study on adsorption of batik wastewater using FeCl₃/zeolite adsorbent combines coagulation and adsorption processes to reduce copper content and dye pollutants. Previous studies have not explored the use of activated zeolite impregnated with FeCl₃ as an adsorbent for reducing copper content and dye pollutants in batik wastewater.

The problem of achieving high-quality hemostasis in patients with spontaneous nosebleeds (NC) in emergency medical care (SMP) is still relevant.

The purpose: to conduct a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of emergency medical care for patients over 18 years of age with anterior NC in the conditions of the NSR using a developed silicone single-chamber intra-nasal tampon with internal point glues, an intranasal (industrial production) balloon and a generally accepted method of tamponade using gauze turunda.

Objectives: to analyze the prevalence and causes of NC in the structure of NSR calls in patients over 18 years of age in Moscow; to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of a developed medical device in patients with NC — a single-chamber intra-nasal tampon with internal point glues in comparison with the use of an intranasal balloon and gauze turunda.

Materials and methods: An analysis of the structure of calls to patients with NC and an assessment of the effectiveness of stopping NC using an intra-nasal tampon with internal point glues, an intranasal balloon and a gauze turunda were carried out.

The results of the study: It was revealed that in all the studied groups, NC occurred in the range from 28% to 37.3% in patients with hypertension who took anticoagulants/antiplatelet agents and in the range from 30.7% to 32% in patients with hypertension without taking anticoagulants/antiplatelet agents. It was found that in the first group of observations using a singlechamber intra-nasal tampon with internal point glues, the best characteristics of the efficiency of stopping NC were revealed: hemostasis was achieved in 92% of cases; less time spent on performing nasal tamponade was 1.6±0.5 min. and the time of onset of hemostasis  was  1.2  min±0.3;  pain  was  less  pronounced  in patients during nasal tamponade — 0.31±0.01 points; fewer repeated calls with recurrent NC (6.7% of cases) and repeated nasal tamponades (2.7% of cases); the call execution time was reduced by 9.5 min. — from 39.3±1.3 min. to 29.8±1.1 min.

Conclusion: The data obtained as a result of the study indicate an improvement in the quality of medical care for patients with NC and allow us to recommend a promising expansion of the range of medical devices used to create high-quality hemostasis in NC at the prehospital stage.

Published: February 2025

Multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) is a polyclonal hematological disorder characterized by constitutional symptoms, organomegaly, significant lymphadenopathy, cytopenias, and symptoms of hypergammaglobulinemia, attributed to excessive interleukin-6 production. The clinical presentation, as well as the bone marrow features of MCD, is not unique and overlaps with a myriad of diseases such as chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, and hematological neoplasms, creating diagnostic difficulty. In this case report, we describe the bone marrow pathology of MCD diagnosed in an elderly immunocompetent patient who presented with clinical features of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, along with a brief discussion on its differential diagnosis.

Published: February 2025

Azathioprine is widely used in various autoimmune disorders, hematological malignancies, inflammatory bowel disease, skin disorders, and in post renal transplants as an immunosuppressant. Myelosuppression is a well-known adverse drug reaction related to thiopurines including azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, and thioguanine. Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) and Nudix hydrolase 15 (NUDT15) are two critical enzymes involved in metabolism of azathioprine and other thiopurines. Genetic polymorphism affects enzyme activity, and thus metabolism of these drugs (Azathioprine, 6-mercatopurine, and thiogunine). People with enzyme deficiency are at increased risk of prolonged and severe myelosuppression following treatment with azathioprine and other thiopurine drugs. Loss-of-function alleles in the NUDT15 gene are reported to be common than TPMT in south Asian population. Here, we are reporting six cases of NDUT15 polymorphism that was admitted in our institute. Retrospective data were collected from the January 2024 to June 2024 of patients who were admitted at our institute. We also reviewed PubMed data base for literature on NUDT15 polymorphism in south Asian population. In conclusion, NUDT15 polymorphism is more prevalent in south Asian population, and thus, testing for NUDT15 polymorphism could help to individualize thiopurine therapy better in the South Asian population and should be done in the patients who experience severe myelosuppression following introduction of azathioprine and other thiopurines.

Published: February 2025

Tsunamigenic megathrust earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction zone present a major hazard concern. We can better prepare to model the earthquake source in a rapid manner by imbuing fault geometry constraints based on prior knowledge and by evaluating the capabilities of using existing GNSS sensors. Near-field GNSS waveforms have shown promise in providing rapid coarse finite-fault model approximations of the earthquake rupture that can improve tsunami modeling and response time. In this study, we explore the performance of GNSS derived finite-fault inversions and tsunami forecasting predictions in Cascadia that highlights the impact and potential of geodetic techniques and data in operational earthquake and tsunami monitoring. We utilized 1300 Cascadia earthquake simulations (FakeQuakes) that provide realistic (M7.5-9.3) rupture scenarios to assess how feasibly finite-fault models can be obtained in a rapid earthquake early warning and tsunami response context. A series of fault models with rectangular dislocation patches spanning the Cascadia megathrust area is added to the GFAST inversion algorithm to calculate slip for each earthquake scenario. Another method used to constrain the finite-fault geometry is from the GNSS-derived CMT fault plane solution. For the Cascadia region, we show that fault discretization using two rectangular segments approximating the megathrust portion of the subduction zone leads to improvements in modeling magnitude, fault slip, tsunami amplitude, and inundation. In relation to tsunami forecasting capabilities, we compare coastal amplitude predictions spanning from Vancouver Island (Canada) to Northern California (USA). Generally, the coastal amplitudes derived using fault parameters from the CMT solutions show an overestimation bias compared to amplitudes derived from the fixed slab model. We also see improved prediction values of the run-up height and maximum amplitude at 10 tide gauge stations using the fixed slab model as well.

Authors: Seema P. V.
Published: February 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an important force in many fields, including education. Using Artificial Intelligence in classrooms can improve learning, make education more personal, and help teachers in their work. AI can change education by offering personalized learning, making assessments easier, and supporting teachers. It can also make education more accessible and improve results. However, it is important to address issues like fairness, privacy, and resistance to ensure that all students benefit from Artificial Intelligence. Moving forward, it will be essential for teachers and Artificial Intelligence to work together to shape the future of education. Artificial Intelligence also supports professional development by encouraging collaboration among educators and providing data-driven insights into teaching practices. Peer collaboration platforms and Artificial Intelligence tools for reflection help teachers grow professionally, creating communities that promote ongoing improvement. The use of Artificial Intelligence in education encourages creative thinking, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in students. It also helps individuals develop the skills they will need in the future to choose a suitable career and become independent, productive members of society. Future research should focus on evaluating the long-term impacts of Artificial Intelligence in diverse educational settings, exploring ethical considerations, and developing best practices for integrating Artificial Intelligence tools. Collaboration between researchers, educators, and technologists is essential to create evidence-based frameworks that ensure equitable and effective Artificial Intelligence implementation in education.
Human Rights Thought: Between Islamic Law and The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Authors: Yuanitasari Deviana , Kusmayanti Hazar
Published: February 2025

Human rights are one of the elements and the concept of the rule of law, human rights are basically a right that is owned from birth or a basic right that is owned by humans as individual beings. This view states that human rights are basic rights given to humans to shape their lives in accordance with freedom, equality, and respect for human dignity as individual beings.
The issue of human rights among Muslim countries is nothing new. Islamic law which is universal in nature explains the basic principles of equality of human rights and freedom. Even when the Prophet Muhammad declared the Medina Charter. The history of the enactment of Islamic law among Muslim communities has shifted from a vertical normativity point to a more horizontal one. This is because the development of the enactment of Islamic law has also been influenced by the dynamics of socio-cultural and legal politics in Islamic society itself.
Indeed, Islam has first taught mankind about egalitarian, universal and democratic concepts. This beautiful and comprehensive concept is allegedly adopted by the West through the emergence of universal ideas which are standardized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights convention. Islam is an ash-Syumul religion. Islamic teachings cover all aspects of human life. Islam provides regulations and demands on humans, ranging from the smallest affairs to large-scale affairs. And of course it includes rules and high respect for human rights. However, it is not in a structured document, but is spread out in the holy verses of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad.

Authors: Kurniawan Agung Budi
Published: February 2025

Generic structure quality fulfilment of a narrative text draft gives benefits to be constructed as a qualified full paper. This research aims to reveal English college students’ mistakes in constructing proper narrative text generic structure drafts. The data is 45 students’ work. The students were ordered to construct a title and write a narrative draft that consisted of orientation, complications, and resolutions in the social problem area. The drafts were analyzed for linguistic fulfilment of those three parts of the generic structure. The finding of students’ mistakes in constructing the orientation draft proposed is unclear, and the subject’s identity is absent, as well as the absence of supporting information and the main problem statement. The students’ mistakes in constructing complications are proposing incoherent stories that are not related to orientation, jumbling stories, focusing on different figures with the orientation, giving over quantity of personal perspective, and the absence of conflict development. The students’ mistakes in constructing the resolution are writing only the conclusion and giving no solution. English teachers or lecturers are suggested to investigate and improve students’ linguistic backgrounds to be coherent with the narrative text before giving the writing training practice.

This study aims to explore the role of anti-violence education in creating a safe learning environment at Pondok Pesantren Modern Selamat Kendal. Islamic boarding schools are often environments where physical and psychological violence can occur due to strict disciplinary practices and rigid educational systems. However, the implementation of anti-violence education is expected to foster a more conducive atmosphere for the psychological and academic development of students. This research employs a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate that the implementation of anti-violence education in this pesantren has helped reduce incidents of violence, strengthen interpersonal relationships between teachers and students, and enhance the sense of safety and comfort in the learning environment. The application of anti-violence principles involves reinforcing religious values, ethical educational practices, and active engagement from the pesantren in providing guidance and counseling to students. The study also identifies challenges, such as resistance from some educators who still adhere to traditional methods. These findings contribute significantly to the development of more humanistic educational policies in Islamic boarding schools.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to analyze the fulfillment of the right to education for students with disabilities in higher education institutions in Pekalongan. The primary issue addressed is the low accessibility of higher education for students with disabilities, which contradicts the principles of human rights: universality, interdependence, non-discrimination, and state responsibility. This research employs an empirical juridical method with a qualitative approach, combining primary data from interviews with policymakers and students and secondary data from legal documents and related literature. The findings indicate that most higher education institutions in Pekalongan have not fully ensured the right to education for students with disabilities. Existing services and facilities remain ad hoc, lacking structured regulations or inclusive standards. Three key findings include the absence of specific inclusive policies, the lack of integrated data on students with disabilities, and the unavailability of Disability Service Units. The legal implications of this inadequacy involve violations of human rights and state obligations, as mandated by Law No. 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities.

Published: February 2025

Historically, the Aztec Rail (Rallus tenuirostris) has been recorded in the wetlands of the Mexican Transvolcanic Belt, and recently in wetlands and along river edges in Chihuahua and Durango. As participants in a citizen science birdwatching collective that regularly visits the small artificial wetland of La Partida, Torreón, we obtained the first record of the species in Coahuila, northern Mexico. On 16 January 2024, we spotted a rail-like bird among the vegetation. We photographed the individual, which we later identified as an Aztec Rail by the grayish head, cinnamon malar coloration, white chin and throat, rufous chest and belly, dark central dorsal feathers surrounded by light gray, and white undertail coverts. Our observation represents a distributional range extension for the species, highlights the ecological importance of the small wetlands of northern Mexico that are habitats for waterbirds, and exemplifies the value of citizen science programs to better understand species distributions.
Antiphospholipid syndrome associated with sicca syndrome

Introduction

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), or antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, is an autoimmune, hypercoagulable condition caused by antiphospholipid antibodies.

Aim

This case study aims to highlight diagnostic challenge of APS and its association with sicca syndrome.

Case study

Our case is a female patient who was transferred to Rheumatology Clinic from the Central Intensive Care Unit (CICU) after being unconscious and on assisted breathing for 5 days. In 2006, she suffered a miscarriage and pulmonary thromboembolism. Since then, she has been under anticoagulant treatment. Clinical observation and positivity of laboratory tests such as anti Ro SSA, anti La SSB and Schrimer test confirmed us sicca syndrome. Positivity of lupus anticoagulant, anti-cardiolipin and anti-B2GP1 raise us suspicious about APS. The patient stayed in our clinic for approximately 10 days and based on the anamnesis, objective examination, laboratory and imaging tests, she was discharged home with the diagnosis of APS accompanied by sicca syndrome.

Results and discussion

APS is an autoimmune condition, often challenging to diagnose, especially when it occurs in patients without sufficient symptoms and signs and without positivity in blood tests. The diagnosis of APS is often made through a combination of symptoms and laboratory tests.

Conclusions

Diagnosing APS is not always easy, it is quite complex. Any case associated with spontaneous abortion and vascular accidents, without risk factors, should be suspected and investigated for APS. APS can often be secondary associated with other autoimmune diseases. Most often APS is associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, but in our case it is associated with sicca syndrome.

Fostering Pathways and Creativity Responsible for Advancing Health Research Skills and Knowledge for Healthcare Professionals to Heighten Evidence-Based Healthcare Practices in Resource-Constrained Healthcare Settings
Authors: Janvier Nzayikorera
Published: February 2025

Globally, evidence-based healthcare practices are the most dependable framework for effective healthcare decisions and practices. In all nations, financial resources, people, and time are always insufficient. Healthcare professionals should recommend healthcare interventions that have been proven to be safe, effective, and affordable. All healthcare professionals must be creative to be involved in the creation and compilation of trustworthy evidence to support the decrease in morbidity and mortality of communicable and non-communicable diseases, particularly in developing nations. Regretfully, most developing nations still exhibit weaknesses and barriers to promoting health research and evidence-based healthcare. Evidence indicates that developing countries contribute 1% - 2% of health research activities to address global health problems and challenges. As a result, many individuals in these nations continue to have below-average health conditions. The lack of creativity, innovation, and motivation to gain health research competencies for healthcare professionals causes all these issues. Creativity and innovation are the foundations for the effective implementation of evidence-based healthcare. Surprisingly, no researchers have explored how creativity and innovation heighten evidence-based healthcare practices. The primary objective of this project will be to foster pathways and explore the creativity that advances health research abilities among healthcare professionals to improve evidence-based healthcare practices in resource-limited healthcare settings.

This study aimed to determine the impact of using the Cabri II Plus software on students’ achievement and motivation. A quasi-experimental research design was employed to investigate the effects of learning with Cabri II Plus software on the achievement and motivation of second-grade middle school students in the module covering right triangles and the Pythagorean theorem. The study comprised 70 participants, who were divided into two groups: experimental and control. Each group consisted of 35 participants. The study utilized two main tools: a student achievement test and a math motivation questionnaire. The experimental group used interactive activities with Cabri II Plus software, while the control group used existing activities from a textbook provided by the Moroccan Ministry of Education. Thus, the pre- and post-tests on the achievement and motivation scores were carried out for both groups. Analysis of covariance revealed a significant difference in favor of the experimental group in terms of the academic achievement scores (F [1, 67] = 52.12, p = .00 < .05) and the motivation scores (F [1, 67] = 94.08, p = .00 < .05). Thus, the students who used the Cabri II Plus program obtained higher motivation and achievement than their counterparts who did not use Cabri II Plus to learn the test module. The study’s findings also showed a strong, statistically significant positive relationship between academic achievement and motivation among the experimental group students in the post-tests and a moderate, statistically significant relationship between these variables among the control group students. Thus, the teaching method using the Cabri II Plus program has a greater positive impact on the relationship between academic achievement and motivation than traditional teaching methods. Based on the findings, integrating Cabri II Plus into the teaching process effectively improves students’ educational outcomes and fosters a more engaged and motivated learning environment.
The Russian Piano Concerto, Volume 1
Authors: Norris Jeremy
Published: February 2025

This monograph, the first volume in the new series Russian Music Studies, delves into the origins and development of the Russian piano concerto. The text is scholarly but a joy to read. Norris is highly analytical, diligently comparing and contrasting the concertos of Anton Rubinstein, Tchaikovsky, Balakirev, Mussorgsky, Taneyev et al. with those of their European progenitors. Interestingly, among the elements that gave the genre its particularly unique and colorful flavor was the introduction of materials extracted from Slavic folk songs and orthodox chant of the Slavic race (Rimsky-Korsakov and Balakirev in particular). The author includes copious musical examples and interesting charts, including one that skillfully delineates the importance and pedagogical influence of Irish pianist and composer John Field (who lived in Russian from 1803 to 1837) on Russian musicians and composers. David Griffioen's discography is invaluable for those interested in comparing renditions and tracing performance history. No less than 105 recordings of Tchaikovsky's First are given. Considering the significance of this well-written work, this reviewer hopes the publisher pursues additional volumes in the series. For all substantial music collections, academic and public.
