The incidence of VP shunt infection in a middle-income nation: a retrospective analysis of a pediatric population
Authors: Campbell Dwayne , Sinclair Shane , Cooke Dwaine , Webster Dwight , Reid Marvin
Published: December 2023

Objective

To investigate the incidence of infection after ventriculoperitoneal shunt (VPS) insertion at the Bustamante Hospital for Children (BHC), Jamaica, West Indies.

Method

Of the 178 patients managed by the Neurosurgery team at BHC, who underwent surgery between 2010 and 2016, 122 patients were subjected to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion procedure through a VPS placement. The patients excluded from this study included those with a VPS placed at another institution or one placed prior to the study period. There is a notable transition that saw a switch from the use of the Codman uni-port to Medtronic shunts in 2014–2015, which initiated the process of reuse of shunt passers. Clinical data were retrospectively collected from operating theater logs and available manual health records.

Results

Over the 7-year study period of the 122 first-time shunt placements done, 17 patients (13.9%) had positive CSF cultures, with an additional six (4%) having CSF pleocytosis with negative cultures. The most common isolate was the Staphylococcus species, occurring in 60% of VPS infections. The median time to shunt infection was 2 months. Of the 72 Codman shunts placed, six became infected, and 21.7% (10 of 46) of the Medtronic shunts became infected.

Conclusion

The rate of incidence of VPS infection was 13.9% for the period between 2010 and 2016, with most infections occurring after 2014. The major causative agent was Staphylococcus species at 60% within a median 2 months of surgery. Overall, this compares well with data reported in the literature.

Published: December 2023

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect on behavioral patterns of veal calves fed with increasing levels of hempseed cake (HSC) diluted in the milk replacer. In total, 48 Belgian Blue veal calves (12 females and 36 males), with a body weight (BW) of 62.0 kg and age of 42.6 days, were offered the same type and quantity of solid and liquid feed two times a day but randomly assigned to one of the three different HSC inclusion levels: 0% (CTR), 3% (T3), and 6% (T6). The study lasted for 6 months until slaughter. During this time, their behavior was recorded using video cameras provided with a surveillance system. The results indicated that HSC had negligible effect on calves' behavior and that calves, in general, spend most of their time resting and ruminating as they normally do with conventional diets. Hempseed cake inclusion (T3 and T6) increased (P < 0.05) the appetite for solid food and licking behavior during the late afternoon. T3 female calves increased (P < 0.05) their movement in the late afternoon. Male calves decreased (P < 0.05) their positive interaction, movement, and cross-sucking in the late afternoon as the inclusion of HSC increased. The inclusion of HSC into veal calves' diet did not negatively affect the animal's behavior; therefore, it can be suggested as a novel ingredient.
Primary Pulmonary Artery Leiomyosarcoma with Pulmonary Metastasis Depicted on Enhanced Computer Tomography: A Case Description and an Analysis of the Literature
Authors: Zhang Wenzhao , Li Peiling , Yu Jianqun
Published: December 2023

Pulmonary artery leiomyosarcoma is an extremely rare disease, with only a few dozen cases reported worldwide to date. This disease is easily misdiagnosed as pulmonary thromboembolism, leading to improper treatment and accurate diagnosis in the later stages of the disease. Furthermore, this delayed diagnosis may also be the reason for the extremely high mortality rate of patients suffering from it. Early invasive surgery with the goal of complete surgical resection is the standard treatment method. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy have been tried with variable outcomes.
Muslim Social Activity and Placemaking in Australia
Authors: Sahib Rizwan , Katakalos Vanessa
Published: December 2023

For generations, Muslims have engaged in daily life in the West—what this study identifies as Muslim social activity. Through social activity in Western societies, Muslims transform spaces into places by seeking to belong, feel at home, care, materialise religious and ethno-cultural values, and live meaningfully. The concept of place has not been used to explain Muslim social activity in the West. This study addresses this lacuna by explaining it in Australia as placemaking.
Instructors’ Perspectives on Enhancing Sustainability’s Diffusion into Mechanical Engineering Courses
Authors: Tisdale Joan K. , Bielefeldt Angela R.
Published: December 2023

This research strives to catalyze a more extensive integration of sustainability topics into mechanical engineering (ME) courses. The process through which higher education instructors choose to integrate sustainability topics into their courses was conceptualized using diffusion of innovation theory. The research explored two questions: (1) What factors were influential to front runners (innovators or early adopters) for sustainability integration in undergraduate courses taken by ME students? (2) What factors could spur non-adopters to integrate sustainability into their courses? The study included a survey (with 53 respondents who taught sustainability and 14 respondents who did not teach sustainability), 10 interviews with innovators and early adopters, and a focus group of 5 participants. The results were explored primarily from the perspective of meeting the needs of instructors (the target users). Peer-to-peer interactions were found to be important across all user groups. Practices that would help motivate later adopters include prepared curriculum- and university- or department-based support in the form of mission statements, training, mandatory sustainability inclusion, and a sustainability office to provide support. Diffusion of innovation theory provides insights into which strategies are likely to be most effective in expanding the number of faculty members who integrate sustainability topics into their courses.
SPIRITUAL VALUES OF STUDENT YOUTH IN TODAY'S REALITIES: ANALYSIS OF CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC PROJECTS
Authors: Lymarenko L.
Published: December 2023

The article addresses the pressing issues of the transformation of spiritual values of the Ukrainian people in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war through the lens of student cultural and artistic projects. The author examines contemporary research in the context of defining the spiritual values of Ukrainian youth during such a complex period as wartime. The relevance of addressing this issue is justified. The essence of the concept of "spiritual values" is explained as a complex concept that defines important life principles for individuals, shaped in the realm of spirituality and cultural and artistic creativity. The article offers an interpretation of cultural and artistic projects as complex, multifaceted processes that involve unique forms of interpersonal creativity, directed toward achieving specific goals and limited by space, time, and resources.

In the context of this theme, a comparative analysis is conducted on the results of student cultural and artistic pre-war projects and those carried out during online learning in the occupied territories and the midst of hostilities. The obtained results, in the form of created video content, indicate transformational processes with a focus on the sphere of spiritual values, such as love for the homeland, one's hometown, and one's family, national dignity, the significance of one's "self" in wartime, and faith in victory. The conclusion claims that the dire conditions of Russian aggression, in which our student youth found themselves, led to the transformation of the spiritual values of Ukrainian society into internal, high-spirited personal traits of young individuals.

Authors: Pochynok Ye. , Huseinova I.
Published: December 2023

The article defines the essence of the category “social competence”, and characterizes its structural components. Thus, the structure of social competence includes motivational, cognitive, activity, and reflective components. Various approaches to defining the social competence of children of primary school age are represented. The peculiarities of primary school children’s social competence formation are analyzed, and its place in the system of key competencies of a modern personality is determined. Primary school children’s social competence formation is considered in the context not only of social education but also of socialization itself, as its final result.

It has been proven that the primary school age is a sensitive period for social competence formation and active development, in particular through the implementation of socially significant activities. The role of primary school children’s socially significant activities in the development of their social competence is revealed, in particular, it is confirmed that joint collective activity and interpersonal relationships in the team significantly affect the level of social competence formation of the personality of the primary school children; therefore it is important to form a positive experience of cooperation.

Pedagogical conditions for primary school children’s social competence formation in the conditions of the new Ukrainian school are outlined. Thus, one of the key conditions for primary school children’s social competence formation is the clear structuring of the teacher’s activities content, which will make it possible to develop a complete system of pedagogical actions and influences to increase the effectiveness of all components of social competence formation. A significant condition is also an open, integral, emotionally comfortable, subject-oriented, and ergonomic educational space. An equally important role in this process is played by the involvement of primary school children in public life and joint project activities.

Based on the results of the research, a characteristic of a primary school child with a high level of social competence development, which is ensured by alternating different types of social activities, has been developed. The future direction of further research is defined in the implementation of the ideas of partner pedagogy during primary school children’s social competence formation.

Authors: Dharma Arie Satia , Silaban Evi Rosalina , Siahaan Hana Maria
Published: December 2023

Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) is a conditional social assistance program as an effort to alleviate poverty which is allocated to poor vulnerable households. The determination of candidates for the Program Keluarga Harapan assistance recipients is still carried out in village meetings, so it takes quite a long time and there is potential for subjectivity in the assessment carried out by Village Government officials which can lead to differences of opinion between deliberation participants in assessing the eligibility of residents as PKH recipients. For this reason, this research will use an optimization method, namely Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to select the most optimal attribute out of 39 attributes. After that, a classification algorithm, namely the Support Vector Machine (SVM), was chosen to form a classification model for Candidates for Social Assistance for the Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH). The classification of Candidates for Social Assistance Recipients of the Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) was carried out in 2 experiments, namely before and after optimization. Experiments before optimization give an accuracy value of 92.44%. While the Support Vector Machine accuracy value after optimization gives an accuracy value of 92.51%. Based on the experimental results, it can be concluded that the Particle Swarm Optimization method can increase the accuracy of the Support Vector Machine algorithm by 0.07%. And the best model is the Support Vector Machine after optimizing Particle Swarm Optimization by using the 17 most optimized attributes in determining class targets.

Published: December 2023

Heart disease stands as a prominent contributor to global mortality, as indicated by data released by the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2019 alone, an estimated 17.9 million individuals succumbed to cardiovascular disease, accounting for 32% of all worldwide deaths. Of these fatalities, 85% were attributed to heart disease and stroke. Individuals harboring the potential for heart failure often persist in unhealthy lifestyles, regardless of their awareness of underlying heart conditions. To address this issue, the research explores the application of machine learning to identify an optimal method for classifying heart failure patients, employing the Naive Bayes technique. This algorithm has found extensive use in the health sector, demonstrating success in classifying various conditions such as hepatitis, stroke, respiratory infections, and more. The Naive Bayes algorithm, applied in this study, exhibited notable accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and overall classification efficacy. Specifically, the classification accuracy for heart failure patients reached 74.58%, the precision level was 97.67%, sensitivity achieved 75%, and the AUC (Area Under ROC Curve) stood at 0.857, indicating excellent classification within the 0.80 to 0.90 range. These findings can serve as an early warning system for individuals at risk of heart failure.

Abordar la poesía de pueblos originarios de las Américas en el aula de lengua extranjera
Authors: Silva Haydée
Published: December 2023

Las producciones literarias de pueblos originarios, invisibilizadas durante siglos, han ido ganando terreno paulatinamente, aunque siguen siendo poco conocidas y apreciadas fuera de sus comunidades de origen y de los ámbitos académicos especializados. Tal es el caso de la poesía de pueblos originarios de las Américas, pese a que brinda un corpus de gran riqueza y diversidad. En el aula de lengua extranjera es posible adoptar un enfoque crítico basado en la pedagogía decolonial para integrar ese corpus poético. En este artículo empezaremos por mencionar algunas de las características principales de las voces literarias en lenguas originarias (voces usualmente poco conocidas, inauditas y con un alto potencial de asombro, insurrectas, especulares, milenarias y perdurables) para exponer enseguida cuáles son las ventajas potenciales de su uso en el proceso de aprendizaje de una lengua cuando se apuesta por un modelo plurilingüe, atento a la “periferia”, rizomático, inclusivo y propicio al desarrollo de la competencia plurilingüe y pluricultural. Terminaremos con pistas concretas de aprovechamiento en el aula, enumerando temas por explorar, objetivos de aprendizaje potenciales y propuestas de actividades.

An Investigation of Atmospheric Design Attributes in Light Food and Beverage Space Amidst Loneliness Economy Trend
Authors: Wu Ying-Chieh , Huang Chia-Hui , Chen Chun-Chih
Published: December 2023

In the loneliness economy era, the atmospheric design of light food and beverage spaces is particularly significant in meeting the multifaceted demands of urban consumers. Thus, we investigated how the atmospheric design of such spaces responds to and fulfills consumers’ multidimensional evaluations, encompassing their psychological, emotional, and social needs. The findings underscored the significant appeal of “emotional healing” and “emotional companionship” to consumers. The factor analysis result delineated two major dimensions, “emotion and space” and “environmental aesthetics”, reflecting that consumers, besides seeking emotional satisfaction, placed a high value on the cultural and aesthetic experience of the space. Through the Kano model and regression analysis, “emotional healing” and “independent space” were confirmed as pivotal factors in the atmospheric design of light food and beverage spaces. To cater to the innermost needs of urban consumers, in the atmospheric design of such spaces, dimensions including psychological, emotional, and environmental aesthetics must be strategically integrated.
HYBRID BINARY WHALE OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM BASED ON TAPER SHAPED TRANSFER FUNCTION FOR SOFTWARE DEFECT PREDICTION
Authors: Hamed Alnaish Zakaria A. , Hasoon Safwan O.
Published: December 2023

Reliability is one of the key factors used to gauge software quality. Software defect prediction (SDP) is one of the most important factors which affects measuring software's reliability. Additionally, the high dimensionality of the features has a direct effect on the accuracy of SDP models. The objective of this paper is to propose a hybrid binary whale optimization algorithm (BWOA) based on taper-shape transfer functions for solving feature selection problems and dimension reduction with a KNN classifier as a new software defect prediction method. In this paper, the values of a real vector that represents the individual encoding have been converted to binary vector by using the four types of Taper-shaped transfer functions to enhance the performance of BWOA to reduce the dimension of the search space. The performance of the suggested method (T-BWOA-KNN) was evaluated using eleven standard software defect prediction datasets from the PROMISE and NASA repositories depending on the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifier. Seven evaluation metrics have been used to assess the effectiveness of the suggested method. The experimental results have shown that the performance of T-BWOA-KNN produced promising results compared to other methods including ten methods from the literature, four types of T-BWOA with the KNN classifier. In addition, the obtained results are compared and analyzed with other methods from the literature in terms of the average number of selected features (SF) and accuracy rate (ACC) using the Kendall W test. In this paper, a new hybrid software defect prediction method called T-BWOA-KNN has been proposed which is concerned with the feature selection problem. The experimental results have proved that T-BWOA-KNN produced promising performance compared with other methods for most datasets.

The accumulation of photoinduced carriers at the SiO2/Si interface was observed via graphene transport. CVD graphene was transferred to a lightly p-doped silicon substrate with a SiO2 dielectric layer and served as a charge sensor for detecting the accumulation of photoinduced carriers at the SiO2/Si interface. The sample was cooled to 4.2 K to realize an undoped silicon substrate without intrinsic carriers. Photoexcited carriers in the undoped silicon substrate were collected at the SiO2/Si interface via a gate voltage and the carrier polarity was controlled well by the polarity of the gate voltage set during the light illumination. The photoinduced carrier density was determined by the number of photons incident on the silicon substrate with a photon–electron conversion efficiency of about 0.036. These results may provide polarity control of the conduction channel (n- or p-type) in standard Si-MOS structures, paving the way for optically programmable Si-CMOS.

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya perbedaan pandangan antara kaum revisionis dan pemahaman secara tradisional dalam interpretasi Roma 1:26-27. Teks dalam Roma 1:26-27 secara tradisional dianggap dan diterima sebagai teks yang melarang bahkan mengutuk praktek LGBTIQ. Namun, kaum revisionis memandang bahwa tindakan yang dikecam dalam Roma 1:26-27 tidak merujuk pada orang-orang dengan orientasi homoseksual, tetapi homoseksual yang dilakukan oleh orang heteroseksual. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meninjau kembali ajaran Alkitab tentang LGBTIQ sebagai suatu evaluasi atas interpretasi kaum revisionis atas Roma 1:26-27. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah hermeneutik dan kajian pustaka. Dalam pandangan kaum revisionis Roma 1:26-27 membahas tentang kecaman terhadap penyembahan berhala, kecaman bagi kaum heteroseksual, bukan pada homoseksual, membahas tentang hubungan yang tidak seimbang dan didiorong oleh rasa nafsu yang berlebihan. Namun berdasarkan Roma 1:26-27, LGBTIQ adalah dosa yang melanggar hukum Allah dan bukan hanya sebagai hukuman atas penyembahan berhala. Paulus memandang LGBTIQ sebagai dosa dan pantas untuk menerima hukuman yang setimpal atas kesalahannya. Karena itu, kaum revisionis lebih dipengaruhi oleh presuposisi dalam mereinterpretasi Roma 1:26-27.

Moderasi beragama berkaitan dengan jalan tengah, harmoni dan keseimbangan di antara ekstrem keagamaan yang ada. Jalan tengah yang dimaksud bukan dalam pengertian titik tengah secara matematis, namun merupakan harmoni dan keseimbangan sebagai pilihan yang terbaik. Dalam konteks Indonesia, pergumulan antara agama dan sekularisasi adalah persoalan yang perlu dijawab. Dalam konteks kemajemukan agama, pluralisme dan partikularisme seringkali berada dalam ketegangan dan saling mempersalahkan. Dalam teologi agama-agama, keimanan dan rasionalisasi seringkali menyatakan yang lain sebagai yang salah. Artikel ini akan mengkaji moderasi di antara ekstrem-ekstrem tersebut dengan penghargaan pada posisi masing-masing dan mencoba melampauinya sebagai bentuk moderasi yang kontekstual di Indonesia. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah studi putaka. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memperoleh model moderasi beragama di Indonesia sesuai dengan ekstrem yang ada. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa moderasi di Indonesia bisa dilakukan dengan mengakomodasi nilai-nilai positif dari ekstrem-ekstrem tersebut. Temuan ini bisa menjawab pergumulan tentang moderasi dalam relasi agama dengan negara dan dalam relasi antar agama.
Khotbah Humoris dari Perspektif Homiletika

Humor sudah biasa digunakan dalam khotbah. Bahkan ada pengkhotbah yang terkenal karena selalu membawakan humor-humor segar dalam khotbahnya. Namun apakah humor sejalan dengan prinsip dalam homiletika? Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggali gagasan tentang khotbah humoris dari perspektif homiletika. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi pustaka. Hasilnya penulis menemukan bahwa humor di satu membawa dampak positif bagi khotbah karena dapat membantu pengkhotbah menyajikan pengajaran-pengajaran dengan cara kreatif sehingga menarik perhatian dan mudah untuk dipahami oleh pendengar. Namun penggunaan di sisi lain, penggunaan humor yang berlebihan atau salah penempatan dapat membawa dampak negatif antara lain: meremehkan dan melemahkan jiwa khotbah, kurangnya ketegasan, menjadi bias, berubah bentuk, dan dampak negatif lainnya.

Kebutuhan akan hasil pertanian semakin meningkat seiring jumlah penduduk yang semakin meningkat. Kemajuan akan teknologi terus meningkat, yang mengakibatkan industri pabrik semakin berkembang, sehingga menggeser banyak lahan pertanian terutama di daerah perkotaan yang menyebabkan lahan pertanian semakin terbatas. Hidroponik adalah salah satu alternatif yang dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan produktifitas tanaman terutama di lahan sempit. Pada budidaya hidroponik, media tanam dan larutan nutrisi merupakan faktor yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan tanaman dan penentu hasil panen. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menentukan dampak pengembangan media dan nutrisi  terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi pakcoy. Penelitian ini memakai Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL), mencakup 2 variabel, yaitu unsur utamanya adalah media tanam (N) mencakup 3 aras yakni N1 (rockwool), N2 (arang sekam), N3 (cocopeat) unsur selanjutnya adalah jenis formula pupuk (P) dengan 2 aras yakni P1 dan P2. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa media tanam berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman pakcoy pada tinggi tanaman, berat segar tanaman, berat segar layak konsumsi, formula nutrisi berpengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi tanaman pakcoy pada panjang akar, berat segar tanaman, berat segar layak konsumsi, dan terdapat pengaruh interaksi antara media tanam dan formula nutrisi terhadap pertumbuhan dan produksi pakcoy pada panjang akar, berat segar tanaman, dan berat segar layak konsumsi.
