Published: October 2018

Objective: To evaluate the interference of supervised resistance and aerobic training in glycemic levels during and after 36 sessions, belonging to a training period of three months in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as well as the comparison of both exercise training. Methods: This is a experimental study with twelve T2DM patients, all sedentary and attended by the Specialized Care Center of Viçosa-MG, randomized into aerobic (n = 6.54 ± 5 years) and resisted (n = 6.58 ± 9 years) groups. Capillary glycemia was collected before (M1), during (M2) and after (M3) each exercise session for 12 weeks with a weekly frequency of three days. It was used ANOVA for repeated measures followed by Tukey and Student’s test. Results: A mean drop in capillary glycemia was observed between M1 and M2 (p = 0.001), M2 and M3 (p = 0.001) and M1 and M3 (p = 0.001) in both groups. Conclusion: It is concluded that aerobic and resistance exercise training caused a decreased in the blood glucose during exercise sessions. The findings showed that both modes of exercise are important in the hyperglycemic treatment of T2DM patients.

Published: October 2018

Introduction: Older adults living in Nursing Homes are a complex population, with a high prevalence of dependency in activities of daily living, multimorbidity, polypharmacy, and reduced mobility and poor balance when compared with community-dwelling elderly. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate if the postural balance of institutionalized elderly is influenced by the length of institutionalization, age, number of medications, number of falls, body mass index (BMI) and cognitive status. Methods: 98 elderly people living in the three Nursing Homes were evaluated and 45 were included. Were considered the following variables: ages over 60 years old; length of institutionalization, falls in the previous year, anthropometric measurements (height and weight) and cognitive status. The balance was evaluated by Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Results: Of all the variables evaluated, only number of medication and BMI had a negative correlation with scores of BBS and SPPB. In the regression analysis, the significant effect of the number of medications on the SPPB and BERG scores was confirmed. Conclusion: Elderly people living in nursing homes have a poor postural balance and the number of medications and BMI contribute significantly to this.

Published: October 2018

Background: Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a set of disorders involving the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and/or the associated structures. Objectives: To evaluate the occurrence of cervical and scapular instability in subjects with TMD. Methods: A total of 22 patients participated in the study, being 11 of them with TMD, selected using the RDC/TMD criteria, and 11 in the control group. The stabilization capacity of the neck muscles was evaluated through StabilizerTM and the muscles of the shoulder girdle through specific tests. Cervical mobility data from both groups were provided using the accelerometer while for cervical disability was used the Neck Disability Index (NDI) questionnaire. Results: Cervical instability was higher in the TMD group (20.36 ± 3.2) than in the control group (28.54 ± 0.8), revealing significant difference (p= 0.03). The highest percentages of scapular stabilization tests were found in subjects with TMD, (n= 9; 81.81%) when compared with control subjects (n= 5; 45.45%). The NDI results showed that the TMD group presented mild cervical incapacity (11.18 ± 2) and the control presented no disability (2.27 ± 0.4; p= 0.001). Conclusion: Cervical disability, and cervical and scapular instability were more frequent in subjects with TMD.
Assessment of Social Vulnerability of Households to Floods in Niger State, Nigeria
Authors: Eze Jude Nwafor , Vogel Coleen , Ibrahim Philip Audu
Published: October 2018

Flood is known to cause devastating livelihood impacts, suffering and economic damages. To reduce the impact of floods, it is very important to identify and understand the socio-economic factors that determine people’s ability to cope with stress or change. Consequently, the study assesses the social vulnerability of the households to floods in Niger State, in order to provide the empirical evidence necessary for flood adaptation policies and strategies in the state. The data for the research were obtained from the household survey and Dartmouth Flood Observatory. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive and statistical analysis. The results show that flood events in the study area were caused by heavy rainfall, compounded by the opening of the Shiroro dam gate to release the excess flood in the reservoir. Moreover, results of Student “t” test and One-Way Analysis of Variance on socio-economic characteristics show that households’ major economic activities, educational status, household size, income distribution, and membership of cooperative society were significant at p < .05. Since the household respondents who depend primarily on farming, do not have formal education, family size > 10, do not belong to cooperative society and earn less that N21000 per month have higher mean frequency, thus, the predominant households were, therefore, farmers, illiterate, have large family size, poor, and have no access to loan. Thus, the socio-economic characteristics of the households in the study area contribute to their vulnerability to floods by reducing their coping capacity. Based on the results of the assessment, it is recommended that measures are taken to mainstream flood adaptation (livelihood diversification through finance and technical assistance like loans and capacity building) into the development process.

A Violent Event Perspective on Women’s Involvement in Incidents of Severe Partner Violence
Authors: Lysova Alexandra
Published: October 2018

There is a shortage of research that examines experiences of partner violence (PV) among high-risk, incarcerated women using a situational perspective. This study uses a “violent event perspective” and data from the Canadian-Based Women’s Experiences of Violence study to examine the sequential actions of intimate partners in a violent event. It also identifies the types of violent events based on women’s involvement in the incidents of severe PV. A total of 135 incarcerated women reported 295 incidents of severe violence with a partner. Findings suggest that PV experiences of women in this clinical sample are highly heterogeneous but mostly represent extreme forms of both victimization and perpetration. This study also identifies the heterogeneity of the types of PV events by providing insight into novel forms of violent dynamics.

The Formation of the Black Medical Movement and Its Implications for Social Work, Part I: African American Physicians
Authors: Snowden Fabienne
Published: October 2018

“The world cannot progress beyond its present impasse...unless we begin to learn again what really happened in the world...to give credit where credit is due and have a different conception of the human being regardless of the race or color of that human.”

-Sertima, 1986

Background:

Health deficits have been present among Black and African American communities since having been brought to and enslaved in the United States. Black Americans have a legacy of finding ways to make ways to acquire the resources and access to medical care desperately needed among their communities. However, the narrative of how these communities gained access to medical methods, education, and training is largely neglected in the context of social work or in social work education.

Objective:

This historical review examines the efforts and accomplishments of African Americans to acquire medical training and resources to address the health disparities among their own and neighboring communities in need.

Methods:

Thematic analysis is used to investigate the existence of efforts of African Americans to acquire access to medical resources.

Findings:

The findings of this analysis identify that the efforts and achievements of Blacks and African Americans to acquire medical training and resources culminate in the Black Medical Movement (1788-Present).

Conclusions:

This existence of the Black Medical Movement presents at least four implications for the social work profession. A brief background of the genesis of health deficits among African American communities of provided, then followed by a description of the Black Medical Movement from its inception to present. This analysis concludes with a call to interrupt systems of oppression by using the presented findings to inform social work ways of knowing, practice, research, and approaches to social justice.

Развој јавне библиотеке као отвореног простора у дигиталној ери и њена улога у демократизацији друштва
Authors: Цуца Јелена
Published: October 2018

У времену дигиталних медија, када су информације лако доступне, јавне библиотеке имају, више него икада, обавезу да корисницима омогуће инфраструктуру за отворени дискурс и да дигитализацијом обезбеде библиотечку грађу која није доступна на интернету. Неопходно је да узму активно учешће у изградњи социјалног капитала и „изборе“ се за примарно место у дигиталном друштву. Да би привукле грађане и постале простор за развој демократског друштва, потребно је да дефинишу на који начин дигитализација мења њихову улогу и да нађу начин за квалитетније коришћење информационо- комуникационих технологија и доступних текућих и ретроспективних организованих ресурса. Потребно је дефинисати проблеме и потребе корисника, а затим прегледом и анализирањем теорија и коришћењем примера добре праксе створити јавни простор где они могу да изражавају и размењују своја мишљења, знања и идеје и тиме допринесу изградњи демократије.

У раду су обрађени правни прописи који се баве заштитом старе и ретке писане грађе током ратова, на којима се интензивније ради од друге половине 19. и почетком 20. века. Међународне конвенције, донете у Хагу 1899. и 1907. године, као део међународног ратног права, први су документи који као предмет заштите од ратних дејстава наводе културна добра. Велика разарања у ратовима широм света, уништавање и крађе културних добара у Првом, а потом и у Другом светском рату утицали су да се озбиљно приступи међународној заштити културних добара. Један од предмета заштите су и старе и ретке књиге као покретно културно добро. Кроз низ одржаних међународних конференција донете су уредбе, декларације, конвенције, правилници, како у свету и Европи, тако и у Србији, како би се на најбољи начин заштитила стара и ретка књига и културна добра у целини.

Amaç: Laparaskopik cerrahide uygulanan Trendelenburg
pozisyonu ve karbondioksit insüflasyonuyla oluşturulan pnömoperiton, serebral
oksijen satürasyonu (rSO2) ile pek çok sistemi etkilemektedir. Laparaskopik
cerrahi sırasında serebral oksijen satürasyonunda oluşan değişiklikler, serebral
oksimetre (NIRS) ile ölçülmektedir. NIRS kullanılarak, rSO2 düşüklüğü ve doku
hipoksisi erkenden tespit edilebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, jinekolojik
laparoskopi olgularında uyguladığımız farklı pozitif end ekspiryum basıncı (PEEP) düzeylerinin serebral oksijenasyon ve
hastaların hemodinamik verileri üzerine olan etkilerini retrospektif olarak
araştırmayı planladık.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Jinekolojik laparoskopi uygulanmış, 69
hastanın dosyaları incelendi. 22 hastaya 8 PEEP, 23 hastaya 6 PEEP ve 24 hastaya 4 PEEP uygulanmış olduğu belirlendi. Bu hastaların oluşturduğu gruplara
sırasıyla Grup 8, Grup 6 ve Grup 4 isimleri verildi. Non-invaziv ortalama kan
basıncı (OKB), kalp hızı (KAH), oksijen satürasyonu (SpO2), end-tidal
karbondioksit (ETCO2) ve rSO2 verilerini kaydedildi.

Bulgular: Hasta Trendelenburg pozisyonuna alındıktan ve
intraperitoneal insuflasyon uygulandıktan sonraki KAH ve OKB’nin tüm gruplarda
belirgin olarak azaldığı görüldü. Üç grupta da entübasyon sonrası ETCO2
değerine göre, sonrasında meydana gelen tüm ölçümler istatistiksel olarak anlamlı
artmış (p<0.05), SpO2
ve rSO2değerlerinde meydana gelen değişimler ise istatistiksel
olarak anlamlı olmamıştır. Tüm gruplardaki ETCO2 ile rSO2 arasında pozitif
yönde anlamlı korelasyon vardı.

Sonuç: Trendelenburg pozisyonundaki laparoskopik cerrahilerde; 8 PEEP,
6 PEEP ve 4 PEEP uygulanmasının serebral oksijenasyonu etkilemediğini, CO2
insüflasyonuyla pnömoperiton oluşturulmasıyla meydana gelen ETCO2 artışın rSO2değerlerini
etkilediğini düşünmekteyiz.

This research is aiming to analyze the effect of several factors such as Pertamax price, Pertalite price, income, year of vehicle and vehicle type on Pertamax fuel demand in Purwokerto and analyze which one is the most influencial factors on the Pertamax fuel demand using elasticity test. The data used in this research are primary data taken from 100 respondents all around Purwokerto then analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The result of multiple regression analysis indicated that income and vehicle type have significant effect on Pertamax fuel demand in Purwokerto while the other factors such as Pertamax price, Pertalite price and year of vehicle have no influence on Pertamax demand in Purwokerto. This research also indicated that vehicle type was the most influencial factors on Pertamax demand. From all the result that has been found, the result of regression shows that people in Purwokerto have a tendency to keep putting the quality at any price level set by the government. In this case government have to further intensify massively on advertising on good impact of Pertamax either for machine or environment and expected to improve better performance and quality either in terms of services on each gas station or oil distribution.Keywords: Demand, Pertamax Fuel, Gasoline Demand.
Integrating Pulse Neutron Measurements with Array Production Logging for Enhanced Production Characterization in Horizontal Wells
Authors: Benlakhdar Noureddine , Mamdouh Al-Nasser , Iqbal Pervaiz , Al-Shabibi Hussain
Published: October 2018

Production logging analysis in horizontal wells can be very challenging due to the fluid distribution and segregation. In addition to this, other factors such as the presence of heavier or viscous fluids, wells with debris or sticky materials add to the complexity of the downhole fluid profiling by causing uncertainty in estimation of phase holdups. This can cause significant errors in calculated flow rates or in some cases rendering most of the production logging sensors ineffective. In order to overcome these challenges, an integrated solution from different measurements is required to optimize downhole fluids profiling. In this paper, the application of Pulsed Neutron (PN) technology to provide a complementary measurement to enhance accuracy of the results is presented.

PN technology can be used for independent PN phase holdup and water velocity measurements in near-horizontal wellbores with stratified multiphase flows. Comparison between phase holdups and velocities calculated from ArrayProduction Logging (APL) and PN devices are presented with field examples. Also discussed are the limitations and best practices pertaining to the use of these measurements.

The paper details measurements that are not affected by the above mentioned issues. A well- calibrated PN measurement can provide phase holdups as well as water velocity, making it complementary to the APL measurements for characterizing production profiling under challenging conditions.
PERAN PENYULUH AGAMA SEBAGAI MEDIATOR NON AJUDIKASI TERHADAP PIHAK SENGKETA
Authors: Asiqah Laili , Syamhari Hari , Fatimah Siti
Published: October 2018

Courts are not the only media to resolve cases for the parties to the dispute. There are still other ways out of court that are actually more appropriate and quick to resolve cases of dispute and / or crime, is mediation. In the Religious Courts have also been introduced to mediation to further enhance the peace efforts that have been undertaken to improve broken family relationships (want to separate / talaq). One of the alternatives presented in solving a divorce case is based on a win-win solution. The problem to be studied in this article is how the duties and responsibilities of religious instructors in carrying out their profession to provide advocacy, mentoring, and mediate non ajudikasi based on the principle of help-help, cling to the source of Islamic teachings. Second, the role of religious counselor in the mediation of divorce dispute cases should be competent, so that no party is harmed.

 

Pengelolan Pengadilan bukan satu-satunya media untuk menyelesaikan perkara bagi para pihak yangbersengketa. Masih ada cara lain di luar pengadilan yang sebenarnya lebih tepat dan cepat untukmenyelesaikan kasus sengketa dan atau kriminal, yaitu mediasi. Di PengadilanAgama juga telah diperkenalkan dengan mediasi guna lebih meningkatkanupaya-upaya damai yang selama ini dijalankan untuk memperbaiki hubungankeluarga yang sedang retak (ingin berpisah/talaq).Salah satu alternatif yang disuguhkan dalam menyelesaikan perkara perceraian adalah berdasarkan pada konsep sama-sama menang (win-win solution). Permasalahan yang akan dikaji dalam artikel ini adalah bagaimana tugas dan tanggung jawab penyuluh agama dalam menjalankan profesinya untuk memberikan advokasi ,pendampingan, dan menjadi mediator non ajudikasi berdasarkan pada prinsip tolong-menolong, berpegang teguh pada sumber ajaran agama Islam. Kedua, peran penyuluh agama dalam mediasi perkara sengketa perceraian sebaiknya harus kompeten, sehingga tidak ada pihak yang dirugikan.

Diagnosis of undesired scenarios in hydrogen production by photo-fermentation
Authors: Monroy Isaac , Buitrón Germán
Published: October 2018

This study presents the use of a machine learning method from the artificial intelligence area, such as the support vector machines, applied to the construction of data-based classification models for diagnosing undesired scenarios in the hydrogen production process by photo-fermentation, which was carried out by an immobilized photo-bacteria consortium. The diagnosis models were constructed with data obtained from simulations run with a mechanistic model of the process and assessed on both modelled and experimental batches. The results revealed a 100% diagnosis performance in those batches where light intensity was below and above an optimum operation range. Nevertheless, 55% diagnosis performance was obtained in modelled batches where pH was away from its optimum operation range, showing that diagnosis model predictions during the first observations of those batches were classified as normal operation and revealing diagnosis delay in pH oscillations. In general, results demonstrate the reliability of classification models to be used in future applications such as the on-line process monitoring to detect and diagnose undesired operating conditions and take corrective actions on time to maintain high hydrogen productivities.
Primary sedimentation as a sustainability measure for newly built municipal wastewater treatment plants: too expensive?
Authors: Giorgi S. , Reitsma B. A. H. , van Fulpen H. J. F. , Berg R. W. P. , Bechger M.
Published: October 2018

A study was performed based on the design of a new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to be built in Weesp, The Netherlands (about 46,000 Population Equivalents (PE)). The conventional activated sludge plant was considered among the alternatives, with and without primary sedimentation. This pre-treatment technique is considered a sustainability measure as it improves the energy balance of the WWTP. However, at the same time, the question arose about the cost effectiveness of this measure. The scope of the study was to assess whether other sustainability measures (like solar panels) can realise the same level of sustainability with lower costs. The outcome of the study indeed shows that, for a new WWTP, it is considerably cheaper to avoid primary sedimentation and focus on other measures like solar panels instead. This appeared not only to be the case for the scale of WWTP Weesp, but also for WWTPs with capacities higher than 500,000 PE. For existing WWTPs with primary sedimentation, the choice can be different as customisation is necessary.
Perioperative Heart-Brain Axis Protection in Obese Surgical Patients: The Nutrigenomic Approach
Authors: Agrimi Jacopo , Baroni Carlotta , Anakor Ekene , Lionetti Vincenzo
Published: October 2018

The number of obese patients undergoing cardiac and noncardiac surgery is rapidly increasing because they are more prone to concomitant diseases, such as diabetes, thrombosis, sleep-disordered breathing, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders. Even if guidelines are already available to manage anesthesia and surgery of obese patients, the assessment of the perioperative morbidity and mortality from heart and brain disorders in morbidly obese surgical patients will be challenging in the next years. The present review will recapitulate the new mechanisms underlying the Heart-brain Axis (HBA) vulnerability during the perioperative period in healthy and morbidly obese patients. Finally, we will describe the nutrigenomics approach, an emerging noninvasive dietary tool, to maintain a healthy body weight and to minimize the HBA propensity to injury in obese individuals undergoing all types of surgery by personalized intake of plant compounds that may regulate the switch from health to disease in an epigenetic manner. Our review provides current insights into the mechanisms underlying HBA response in obese surgical patients and how they are modulated by epigenetically active food constituents.

Published: October 2018

Background:

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) involves genetic, environmental,
and hormonal alterations, including Vitamin D deficiency.

Objective:

To evaluate the association between vitamin D levels with anti-dsDNA, complement
proteins, immunoglobulins levels and disease activity scores.

Methods:

: A cross-sectional study was performed. The levels of 25-OH vitamin D were measured in
patients older than 18 years with SLE according to ACR/97 [American College of Rheumatology
1997] from 2013 to 2015. The association was assessed by Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis
tests for continuous variables, and by the Chi or Fisher exact test for the nominal variables.

Results:

Sixty-nine patients were included; 82% were women; the mean age was 38.5 years; 36.2%
had low levels of vitamin D with higher consumption [p=0.006] of C4 and C3 complement proteins,
plus higher levels of anti-dsDNA. Lower values of vitamin D were observed in patients with
moderate to severe activity [p=0.0001] by SLEDAI [Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Activity Index]
and general domain [p=0.039] and renal domain [p=0.009] by BILAG [British Isles Lupus Assessment
Group] 2004. The mean vitamin D levels were higher in the group not receiving steroids
when compared to those groups with dosages of 0.5-1mg/kg/d [p=0.048].

Conclusion:

Lower levels of vitamin D are associated with greater complement protein consumption
and higher disease activity rates. Therefore, it is important to evaluate vitamin D supplementation
in patients with SLE as part of the treatment, especially when it includes the use of steroids.
Microbial Profiling of Malera and Phab: Starters Used for Preparing Traditional Fermented Foods and Beverages in Himachal Pradesh, India
Authors: Sharma Vipasha , Attri Sampan , Mahajan Rishi , Goel Gunjan
Published: October 2018

Background:

Traditional fermented food preparation uses customary processing methods
passed on from generation to generation under natural conditions. These fermented foods use native
flora without being aware of the significant role of microbes involved in the fermentation process.
Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the bacterial composition of traditional starters used
in different fermented food preparations in Himachal Pradesh region India.

Methods:

The study investigated the bacterial DGGE (Denaturating Gradient Gel Electrophoresis)
profile targeting V3 region of 16S rRNA of two traditional starters known as Malera and Phab. The
starters are used in the preparation of fermented cereals product known as bhaturoo and alcoholic
beverages. The Shannon diversity and richness were calculated from DGGE profile. The 16S rRNA
gene sequences of identified bacterial species were deposited in NCBI database.

Results:

The DGGE profile identified eleven and seven different bacterial strains in Malera and
Phab, respectively. The Shannon diversity index of 1.07 and 0.94 was obtained for Malera and Phab,
respectively. The bacterial population was dominated by different strains of Bifidobacterium sp. in
both the starters along with the presence of non lactic enterobacteriacae members such as Klebsiella
sp. and a pathogenic strain of Dickeya chrysanthemi.

Conclusion:

The study is the first report on microbial profiling of microflora of starters. A careful
examination of individual components and method of preparation of the starters should be taken to
avoid contamination by pathogens.
Pharmaco-Audiology Vigilance in the Treatment of Adult Patients with HIV/Aids: Ototoxicity Monitoring Protocol Recommendation
Authors: Khoza-Shangase Katijah
Published: October 2018

:

South Africa is considered the epicenter of HIV/AIDS with a high rate of TB infection as well. Links have been established between treatments of these conditions to ototoxicity. However, no standardized and systematic ototoxicity monitoring exists within the clinical sites where these conditions are treated, with very minimal and adhoc involvement of audiologists as part of the treatment team. With 3.4 million HIV-infected South Africans being reported to have been on antiretroviral drugs by the end of March 2016; with universal coverage being the target, it is important that ototoxicity monitoring becomes part of the treatment plan. The objective of the current paper is to propose an ototoxicity monitoring protocol that can be implemented within this population to ensure that systematic data are collated in order for evidence-based protocols to be adopted within the South African context. Such a protocol will also allow for early identification and intervention of ototoxic hearing loss within this population. Enough evidence exists to support implementation of standardized protocols that will allow for proper, accurate, efficient, and reliable comparisons of data within and between patients; as well as between and within treatment sites – both locally and internationally. It is hoped that implementation of such a monitoring protocol will also have significant implications for the expanded role of the audiologist in the drug development process, affording evidence-based benefit-risk assessments of drugs in the market for this population. .
A Novel Approach to Assess Violent and Homicidal Ideation: The I-HAVAT©
Authors: Malik Salma , Young Kevin , Walker Sophia , Loftus Mirela
Published: October 2018

Background:

Child and adolescent psychiatrists and clinicians often assess
individuals who present with homicidal and violent thoughts. These assessments are critical,
for patient safety and societal protection. The psychiatrist must ultimately decide if the
patient can return to the community safely, regardless if the patient has initially presented to
inpatient, outpatient, emergency room or school settings. While there is some consensus
regarding the best practice in assessing risk for serious self-harm, approaches to the
assessment of homicide and violence are far more disparate. Clinicians often determine risk
based on known risk factors and type of violence threatened, and many offer a “risk level”.
However, in the absence of an easy to use tool to assess risk, the judgment relies on clinician
experience, talent and training, at the expense of a uniform, organized and comprehensive
approach.

Methods:

We describe an assessment tool that uses a semi-structured interview to
comprehensively evaluate an individual’s risk for violence. The tool guides the clinician to
gather a detailed description of the current episode, then reviews the salient risk and
protective factors and ends with a structured mental status exam developed to help
characterize typical pathways to violence.

Discussion:

The steps in assessing children and adolescents presenting with homicidal
threats in various clinical settings, as well as the steps in determining the appropriate level of
care and treatment plan, will be discussed. The implementation of the assessment tool in an
inpatient setting and the clinicians’ reaction to using it will also be discussed.

Conclusion:

The I-HAVAT© (Institute of Living-Homicide and Violence Assessment Tool)
is a semi-structured method of assessing patients presenting with violent or homicidal threats
by collecting and streamlining pertinent clinical information and ultimately increases the
clinicians’ confidence level in making decisions and recommendations for determining the
level of care and appropriate treatment plan.
Effective Classification of Major Depressive Disorder Patients Using Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Mahendran Nivedhitha , Vincent Durai Raj
Published: October 2018

Background:

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in simple terms is a psychiatric disorder
which may be indicated by having mood disturbances which are consistent for more than a few
weeks. It is considered a serious threat to psychophysiology which when left undiagnosed may even
lead to the death of the victim so it is more important to have an effective predictive model. The
major Depressive disorder is often termed as comorbid medical condition (medical condition that
co-occurs with another), it is hardly possible for the physicians to predict that the victim is under depression,
timely diagnosis of MDD may help in avoiding other comorbidities. Machine learning is a
branch of artificial intelligence which makes the system capable of learning from the past and with
that experience improves the future results even without programming explicitly. As in recent days
because of the high dimensionality of features, the accuracy of the predictions is comparatively low.
In order to get rid of redundant and unrelated features from the data and improve the accuracy, relevant
features must be selected using effective feature selection methods.

Objective:

This study aims to develop a predictive model for diagnosing the Major Depressive Disorder
among the IT professionals by reducing the feature dimension using feature selection techniques
and evaluate them by implementing three machine learning classifiers such as Naïve Bayes,
Support Vector Machines and Decision Tree.

Method: We have used Random Forest based Recursive Feature Elimination technique to reduce the
feature dimensions.

Results:

The results show a considerable increase in prediction accuracy after applying feature selection
technique.

Conclusion:

From the results, it is implied that the classification algorithms perform better after reducing
the feature dimensions.

Studi etnografi pendidikan pada SMA Negeri 6 Yogyakarta: ketahanan dan ketidaktahanan belajar kelompok
Authors: Trilisiana Novi , Wahyono Sugeng Bayu
Published: October 2018

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengungkapkan kontribusi ketahanan dan ketidaktahanan belajar kelompok siswa SMA Negeri 6 Yogyakarta. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang mengacu pada penelitian etnografi di sekolah. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi terlibat, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Data yang terkumpul dibuat ke dalam transkrip, pengkodean, serta pemunculan tema. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan konsep dinamika kelompok dan belajar kooperatif. Hasil penelitian ini mengidentifikasi adanya dua kondisi belajar kelompok, dimana minoritas kelompok siswa menunjukkan ketahanan sedangkan mayoritas menunjukkan ketidaktahanan. Ketahanan belajar kelompok dapat tercipta karena adanya kesadaran kolektif, saling percaya, saling bekerja sama, dan tanggung jawab antar anggota. Ketidaktahanan belajar kelompok dapat tercipta karena adanya egosentrisme, sekadar formalitas, saling bersaing, dan pragmatisme belajar. Semakin cepat terjadinya transformasi dari faktor yang melemahkan kelompok kepada kepentingan kelompok, semakin lama ketahanan belajar kelompok, dan begitu sebaliknya.Kata kunci: etnografi, dinamika kelompok, ketahanan, ketidaktahanan, belajar kelompok ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY OF EDUCATION AT SMA NEGERI 6 YOGYAKARTA: THE DURABILITY AND NOT DURABILITY OF STUDY GROUPSAbstractThis article concerns a research aimed at revealing durability of study group contributions and contribution of the not durability of study groups at SMA Negeri 6 Yogyakarta. This study was qualitative research referring to the ethnography in school. The data were collected through participant observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The collected data were interpreted into transcript, coded, and thematized. The data were analyzed by using the concepts of group dynamics and cooperative learning. The results of the study identified two conditions of study groups that minority groups of students showed durable while the majority showed not durable. The durability of study groups could be created because there are a collective awareness, mutual trust, mutual cooperation and responsibility among the members. The not durability of study groups could be created because there are students’ egocentrism, formality, competing and pragmatism in learning. The faster the transformation from the factors that weaken the group to the benefit of the group, the longer durability study groups, and vice versaKeywords: ethnography, group dynamics, durability, not durability, study groups
