Authors: Ahmed Md Emon , Ali Nur Mohammad , Paran Mohammad Shah , Rahman Abdur , Deb Jayanta Bhusan
Published: August 2024

This study investigated the influence of room temperature on the final prototype parts produced using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) technique. Real-time room temperature data was collected using a wireless sensor with a time series data collection method. A data-driven model called Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network was developed to predict room temperature. The model was trained using data from the wireless sensors collected during the experimental procedure, which involved printing prototype parts in different seasons of the year. The developed LSTM network demonstrated its capability to accurately predict temperature, enabling the detection of printing defects under various room temperature conditions. The study revealed that lower room temperatures had a more significant impact on the surface roughness of the printed parts compared to higher room temperatures. The effectiveness of the developed model was confirmed by comparing its results with the experimental data using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The developed LSTM model found an RMSE of 0.003993 for predicting cold room temperature data and an RMSE of 0.033993 for predicting hot temperature data. The developed LSTM model offers a valuable tool for detecting printing defects in different room temperature conditions. It provides users with information about the room temperature necessary for printing high-quality parts, thereby enhancing the printing process capability and minimizing defect issues in the printed parts.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Frontotemporal dementia is a common form of degenerative dementia. It typically begins between the ages of 45 and 65. However, frontotemporal dementia can often be mistaken for several psychiatric clinical presentations due to behavioral, personality, and language disorders that can be observed in various psychiatric pathology. Case Report: We report the case of a 61-year-old patient, who presented with behavioral disturbances, neglect of personal hygiene, reduced speech and a progressive onset of personality change over a three-year period, contrasting sharply with his previous state. A cerebral CT scan revealed symmetrical focal atrophy of the frontal and temporal lobes. Family members were informed about the nature and prognosis of the disease. The patient showed partial improvement of symptoms with Quetiapine 300mg/day. Conclusion: The diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia relies on a good knowledge of the diagnostic approach and the course of the disease, and on neuroimaging. The challenge is to identify targeted therapies to optimize prognosis.
Development of a Mathematical Predicting Model for Bullock-Drawn Mouldboard Plough in Sandy Loam Soil in Yola, Nigeria
Authors: U Kabri, H.
Published: August 2024

The prediction model equation of a draught force of animal-drawn Mouldboard plough has several advantages in improving tillage performance in smallholder farming systems. These include fully utilizing input data for implement designers and extension workers, proper usage of draught animals, and minimizing operator tragedy. A 1 x 3 x 3 factorial experimental design was arranged in a Randomized Complete Design (RCD) on three blocks of test plots each measuring 25 m x 80 m to generate input parameters for predicting the draught of animal-drawn mouldboard plough on the sandy loam soils at Yola. The model input parameters include implement mass, operation speed, operation depth, soil moisture content, and bulk density. A pair of oxen weighing 560 kg was used as a power source. The highest mean draught values of 436.40 N and the lowest of 381.47 N were obtained at a speed and depth combination of 1.25 m/s and 0.183 m and 0.69 m/s and 0.083 m respectively. A mathematical model with a correlation between the measured and predicted r2 value of 0.9683 was developed using the concept of Buckingham's Pi theorem. The model developed effectively predicted draught for animal implements by 96.83 %. A paired t-test revealed no significant difference between the measured and the predicted values at 0.05 significant levels. The result showed that a developed mathematical equation can effectively predict the draught force of mouldboard plough in sandy loam soil.
INCLUSION OF TRADITIONAL AZOREAN SONGS IN MUSICAL LEARNING - INFORMAL PRACTICES IN VIOLIN TEACHING
Authors: Fonseca André , Sousa Micaela
Published: August 2024

Portuguese Traditional Music is often overlooked in formal teaching at music schools in Portugal. Furthermore, there has been little research into its use in the classroom and the informal learning practices associated with it. Thus, an Educational Project was developed and implemented in 2021/2022, at the Regional Conservatory of Ponta Delgada (CRPD), involving 7 violin students aged between 9 and 14 years and focused on learning songs from the Traditional Music of the Azores. These songs were prepared in class using informal learning practices – auditory learning and analysis, the use of recordings, memorisation without the use of sheet music, improvisation, etc. – and presented at a concert. Additionally, a research study was conducted to analyse the effects of such intervention on the motivation, learning and attitudes of the students, as well as the perceptions developed by the students, their parents, the teachers, and the general public involved in this experience. The study also aimed to assess the feasibility of combining formal and informal learning practices in violin teaching at the CRPD and to evaluate its implications for the preservation of regional cultural identity. To this end, qualitative data were collected, through direct observation of classes with field notes, audiovisual recordings, semi-structured interviews with the students, anonymous questionnaires to the parents and the audience present at the concert, and 27 violin teachers. This data was subjected to content analysis, namely by organising it into categories and sub-categories. The results show that the inclusion of Azorean Traditional Music, using informal learning practices, had a positive effect on the students' motivation, enhancing the development of technical, musical, cognitive, and social skills. In addition, the Azorean Traditional Music concert proved to be an effective means of disseminating and valuing the region's cultural heritage, boosting the students' identity development, and preserving the region's cultural identity.

Authors: Thapa Bicky , Shreenivas Aditya , Bylow Kathryn , Chen Hui-Zi , George Ben , Kurzrock Razelle
Published: August 2024

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is commonly associated with alterations in the VHL tumor suppressor gene, resulting in upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor pathways. Immune checkpoint inhibitors and vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors are the mainstays of systemic treatment for metastatic RCC; however, most patients encounter disease progression after the initial response. The phase 3 clinical trial LITESPARK-005–belzutifan (HIF-2α inhibitor) demonstrated improvement in progression-free survival compared with everolimus in heavily pretreated patients unselected for somatic/germline VHL alterations (an objective response rate of 23% and a median time on therapy of 7.6 months in the belzutifan cohort), resulting in U.S. FDA approval for patients with advanced RCC. Herein, we present two cases of refractory metastatic RCC (including one with brain metastases) with somatic VHL mutations who received belzutifan after discussion in the institutional Molecular Tumor Board. Both patients had an excellent clinical response (partial remissions ongoing at >12 and >20 months). Future studies should assess the merits of biomarker selection for belzutifan treatment.

The objectives of this study include developing condition assessment procedures, condition thresholds, and improvement plans for traffic signals in Illinois. This project first synthesized previous research and current practices of transportation agencies related to the management and lifespan expectations of traffic signals and their components. Interviews were then conducted with personnel familiar with traffic signal management practices in Illinois, and field work was conducted to identify refinements to then-proposed methods and condition thresholds. The project’s technical review panel also provided important guidance throughout the development of the assessment methods. The final recommendations included 34 assessments of traffic signal components. Pictures were included to demonstrate condition levels, and hyperlinks were included to guide reviewers to important online resources. The developed procedures support consistent evaluation of traffic signals throughout Illinois, provide a systematic process for public agencies to identify components in critical condition, and create the foundation to including traffic signals into asset management frameworks. Overall, implementing these procedures and standards should improve traffic signal performance due to reduced failures related to poor component conditions. Improved traffic signal performance is expected to reduce traffic signal life-cycle costs to Illinois Department of Transportation and improve traffic signal performance and safety for the traveling public.

Published: August 2024

A Pneumonia Bacteriana Adquirida na Comunidade (PAC) é uma patologia muito comum na população pediátrica, apresentando-se como uma condição inflamatória e infecciosa que atinge o parênquima pulmonar. A apresentação clínica desta patologia pode variar a depender da idade do paciente. As pneumonias bacterianas, dentre todas as etiologias da pneumonia, são as de evolução normalmente mais desfavorável. Com a pandemia da COVID-19, acontecimento global que culminou em uma crise da saúde pública, medidas de controle foram implementadas, dentre elas, o fechamento das escolas e o isolamento social. Por meio dessa medida, observou-se uma redução da ocupação hospitalar nos setores da Pediatria e dos casos de doenças infectocontagiosas na população pediátrica, entre elas, a PAC. Posteriormente, ao retomar o convívio escolar, esperou-se um natural aumento do número de casos de crianças internadas por PAC. OBJETIVO: Comparar dados da população pediátrica de pacientes de até 12 anos com diagnóstico de pneumonia bacteriana antes e após a reabertura das escolas em decorrência da pandemia da COVID-19 no Hospital Metropolitano Odilon Behrens. MÉTODOS: Realizou-se levantamento de variáveis de interesse – tempo de internação, uso de suporte ventilatório, complicações por derrame pleural, idade media das crianças, situação vacinal, mortalidade, e esquemas de antibióticos usados, a partir de dados de prontuários dos 283 pacientes atendidos com diagnóstico de PAC durante os 6 meses que antecedem a reabertura das escolas e durante os 6 meses após a reabertura das escolas. Para análise estatística, foram utilizados os testes t de Student, Qui-quadrado de Pearson e o Teste exato de Fisher. Foram considerados resultados significativos aqueles que apresentaram probabilidade de significância (p) de 5%. RESULTADOS: Observou-se aumento do número de casos de PAC após a reabertura das escolas. No que se refere ao tempo de internação, uso de suporte ventilatório, complicações por derrame pleural, idade media das crianças, situação vacinal, mortalidade, e esquemas de antibióticos usados, não foi observada diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os dois grupos de estudo. CONCLUSÃO: Embora tenha sido descrito um aumento do número de casos de PAC após o fim do isolamento social, por meio de análise estatística dos dados estudados, não se observou diferença estatisticamente significativa entre das variáveis que dizem respeito à gravidade e morbidade desta doença na população estudada.

Book Review
Empowered Resistance
Authors: Klein Shandon C.
Published: August 2024

Theology plays a role in how we think about human agency for social change. One’s conception of God’s relationship to humanity, or lack thereof, can suppress or empower resistance to oppressive systems. The prophetic revolutionary fighter Aline Sitoë Diatta remains an inspirational symbol of resistance, not only for the Diola people of Senegal but also more broadly throughout West Africa. As “La femme qui était plus qu’un homme”—the woman who was more than a man—her legendary impact on subsequent generations offers the opportunity to investigate the empowering influence of the Diola indigenous faith tradition, awasena path, on moral and ethical formation. Employing the womanist theological ethics of Katie G. Cannon and Delores Williams, along with the quare theory of E. Patrick Johnson, this paper theorizes an ethic of resistance and an ethic of control. The paper will then explore Diatta’s use of both ethics based on an analysis of an African short film, À La Recherche Aline. Diatta’s embodiment of an ethic of resistance and an ethic of control within modern reenactments of her story depict her rebellion against colonialism as empowered by the awasena path and its theology. The film reflects a modern reception history of Diatta that continues to inspire those of African descent to defend against attacks on their personhood by white supremacy.

Teaching Literature in the Digital Age: Some Theoretical Reflections
Authors: Bennis Mohammed
Published: August 2024

This paper attempts to address the challenges facing the teaching of literature in the digital age. I argue that the rise, normalization and ubiquity of new technology entail the rapid integration of technology in the teaching of literature to dovetail with the increasing expectations and aspirations of the new generation who have grown up with technology and have abundantly assimilated digital cultures. For them technology is much more than digital tools and devices that can be interpreted as semiotic signifiers of the digital age; it also epitomizes the new generation’s identities, mindsets, attitudes and cultural practices. Teachers are called upon to address the demands of the new generation and seriously reflect on propounding plausible and innovative pedagogical actions and strategies that would transform traditional methods which, I believe, seem cacophonous with the new generation of learners. Few would contest the fact that the traditional classroom with its classical methods of teaching is no longer compatible with the changing needs of the current generation of students who expect to be addressed as digitally cultivated learners for whom technology is a normative practice. It is incumbent on teachers to assimilate the fact that today’s students are globally advanced learners who are aware of the crucial role of technology in the learning process and would fail to cope with the traditional classroom and its limited resources. Another daunting challenge facing the teaching of literature lies in motivating the digital age students to read, analyse and interpret literary texts through the integration of technology and encouraging them to enjoy literature and sustain their interest. The new learners are more enticed by graphics and visual content than texts. I argue that converting literary texts to visual productions and platforms would help digitally literate students regain interest in the literary texts and be engaged in the analytical process.
Breaking Down Barriers to Second Language Learning: Understanding Factors and Strategies for High School Students in Guyana
Authors: Lewis André
Published: August 2024

This study aims to illustrate the challenges that prevent most high school students in Guyana from showing any interest and participating in learning a second language. The study showed a number of socio-cultural, economic and institutional constraints which are generally exposed by combining 60 SLA questionnaires with interviews administered to SS3 students who did not continue with the learning of a second language after undergoing their third cycle at grade nine. The results expose nuanced student perspectives and structural impediments, offering practical recommendations to inform the strategies of policymakers, educators’ et al at school- (micro) as well as the system-level (macro). The reforms are intended to reduce current barriers and consequently create a more favourable environment for second language learning among Guyanese high school students.
Trump's Potential Reelection and the Fate of Immigrants
Authors: Mariita Pacificah
Published: August 2024

This paper examines the impact of Trump's presidential reelection on immigrants in the upcoming elections. A thorough exploration of Trump's travel bans, border wall construction, family separation, termination of DACA, and slogans such as MAGA provides context on what people should expect in his second term and the perceptions held by the majority of his supporters, who are predominantly working-class White voters disappointed by outcomes of previous governments. This study outlines these issues based on an assessment of various publications addressing the topic within the past five years and considering the impact of Trump’s nationalist and populist policies towards undocumented persons and comparing them to those of Biden and Obama, legal lawsuits against Trump, and the role of advocates in resolving the problems with immigration. These articles reveal that Trump has taken a discriminatory approach to the issue of immigration. At the same time, his counterparts are more lenient on foreigners because they understand the benefits the United States would receive from this engagement, such as access to labor while stabilizing the economy through additional revenue. Trump's attitude presents ideologies that would jeopardize the country's social and economic state if he is reelected in the upcoming elections.

Authors: Delgado-Oblitas Fernando , Quiroz-Cornejo Karen V.
Published: August 2024

El cushuro (Nostoc sphaericum) es una cianobacteria que tiene como característica resaltante, la capacidad de fijar nitrógeno del ambiente y convertirlo en proteínas, mediante procesos bioquímicos. Su consumo se promueve principalmente en las regiones andinas, en donde su crecimiento se ve favorecido por las condiciones medio ambientales. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la calidad proteica, el contenido de humedad y el perfil de aminoácidos del cushuro, comparando este último con el patrón de ingesta aminoacídica establecido por la WHO/FAO/ONU en 2017 para niños, adolescentes y adultos. Se obtuvieron muestras de cushuro en polvo a partir de 51 kg de cushuro fresco, mediante procesos de secado y molienda/pulverización. Se realizó el análisis proximal de los componentes y la determinación del perfil de aminoácidos mediante HLPC UV-VIS. Los resultados mostraron que el cushuro contiene 30,48 % de proteínas y 1,62 % de humedad. Por otro lado, el perfil de aminoácidos reveló, que el cushuro cubría parcialmente las recomendaciones de ingesta aminoacídica establecidas por la WHO/FAO/ONU en 2017, con excepción de la cisteína, metionina y valina. La cianobacteria cushuro (Nostoc sphaericum) en polvo no puede considerarse como un alimento de alta calidad proteica debido a la presencia de aminoácidos limitantes (cisteína y metionina). Sin embargo, su practicidad y versatilidad en fresco y/o seco, representa muchas oportunidades para su uso en la gastronomía hospitalaria, fórmulas enterales veganas, módulos proteicos, entre otros, según necesidad.

Reinventing Local Community Wisdom through Educulturalism Methods as an Effort to Increase the Existence of Indonesian Economic Development
Authors: Fauzani  , Putri Ratna Kencana  , Sirajudin Al Aksari  , Lakoni Pribadi Putra
Published: August 2024

Indonesia, which consists of ± 429 ethnic groups in the archipelago, has diverse local wisdom. Economic globalization is an inevitable reality in the world economic map in the 21st century. The problems in Indonesia related to economic globalization are the large amount of competition between modern markets as well as unemployment and poverty which ultimately cause inequality both in terms of social and economic growth. Territorial boundaries are no longer an obstacle to interacting with fellow humans. In addition, economic globalization will have a relationship that affects each other between various countries. The purpose of this study is to find out the role of local wisdom through the method of educulturalism in economic development, by analyzing and designing a model based on related literature studies. Several studies that have been carried out focus on economic development by prioritizing local wisdom in the local area. By using a qualitative method of descriptive approach based on reviews, theories and literature studies, it can be concluded that there are at least three types of local wisdom that are able to be a counterweight to global economic competition in an effort to carry out economic development. First, maintaining and utilizing the preservation of natural resources. Second, to function a creative economy based on local wisdom. Third, running a small business based on local wisdom. Thus, local wisdom is required to be a determining element for the success of community and natural resource development in realizing equitable economic development.

In this study, an analysis of lighting in campus buildings was conducted, specifically for the in the Laboratory of Hotel Operations Department Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN). The main issue identified is visual comfort for occupants in a room, which must comply with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) 6197-2020. Ensuring proper lighting is crucial for both functionality and occupant comfort, particularly in educational settings where tasks require adequate illumination. The lighting analysis was performed through simulation using Dialux and SketchUp software. The process involved designing a detailed building model based on the room layout, including all relevant architectural and interior features. Once the model was completed, the lighting simulation was executed using Dialux. This simulation entailed determining the optimal position of furniture within the room, selecting appropriate types of luminaires, and strategically placing these luminaires to achieve the desired lighting levels. The results of the simulation indicated that the current lighting levels in the laboratory were below the standards set by the SNI. Specifically, the minimum illumination level required by SNI 6197-2020 for a room functioning as a restaurant kitchen, which is analogous to the that Laboratory, is an average of at least 250 lux. The findings highlight the need for redesigning the lighting system in the laboratory to meet the prescribed standards and ensure adequate visual comfort and functionality for its users.

Neste trabalho revisitamos uma pesquisa de mestrado recém defendida pelo primeiro autor, sob a orientação do segundo, que tinha como objetivo geral compreender o que se mostra em diálogos de cidadãos-professores-estudantes de pós-graduação em Educação Matemática ao se reunirem para discutir temas correlatos à Educação Financeira (EF). Nesse movimento de revisitação, percebemos convergências entre as discussões realizadas pelos participantes e alguns dos ideais Freirianos. Posto isso, situados em uma sociedade neoliberal, buscando uma EF crítica e libertadora, os conceitos freirianos como consciência crítica, diálogo, situação-limite e inédito viável são explorados. Feito isso, expõe-se que o artigo tem cunho qualitativo, articulando as falas dos sujeitos da pesquisa de mestrado em questão com os conceitos aqui apresentados, bem como com outros autores para assim constituir uma visão mais abrangente e fundamentada sobre o tema. Por fim, é apresentado que a EF pode ser uma ferramenta para uma educação crítica e que as obras de Paulo Freire iluminam este caminho, desafiando os indivíduos a ultrapassar limites, a sonhar, a cultivar a esperança e, principalmente, a questionar o sistema neoliberal vigente.

Bank Permata merupakan lembaga perbankan yang berbasis konvensional yang kantor pusatnya terletak di Jakarta. Loyalitas nasabah merupakan salah satu bukti bahwa bank tersebut telah mampu bersaing dalam memberikan pelayanan prima pada setiap nasabah. Loyalitas nasabah terhadap suatu produk dan pelayanan dilandasi oleh faktor-faktor tertentu. Dalam penelitian ini, faktor-faktor tersebut akan menjadi variabel penelitian. Variabel independen yang diteliti adalah komunikasi (X1) dan penanganan keluhan (X2). Akan diteliti bagaimana pengaruh kedua variabel tersebut terhadap variabel dependen loyalitas (Y1). Jenis Penelitian adalah penelitian sebab akibat atau kausal. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan Uji Regresi Linear Berganda, Uji Koefisien Determinasi R2, Uji Parsial t, dan Uji Simultan F. Berdasarkan hasil uji t pada variabel komunikasi, diketahui nilai t hitung > t tabel (3,030 > 1,993), dengan demikian diperoleh hasil bahwa komunikasi memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap loyalitas nasabah. Hasil pengujian pada variabel penenganan keluhan diperoleh nilai t hitung > t tabel (2,179 > 1,993). Dengan demikian penanganan keluhan memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap loyalitas nasabah. Berdasarkan hasil uji f diketahui menunjukkan nilai F hitung = 11.066 dengan signifikan 0,000. Dengan menggunakan batasaan signifikan 0,005, nilai signifikan tersebut lebih kecil dari 0,005. Dengan demikian variabel komunikasi dan variabel penanganan keluhan secara bersama-sama memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap loyalitas nasabah.

Perbedaan pendapat dalam ajaran Islam  adalah suatu keniscayaan, tetapi perbedaan umat Islam  dalam pelaksanaan ibadah yang memiliki danpak social yang sangat luas dan menyangkut kepentingan bangsa dan negara, seperti ibadah puasa ramadhan, idul fitri dan idul adha adalah sangat urgen untuk dapat dipersatukan. Penelitian “Telaah Argumen Metode Hisab Dan Rukyat Dalam Perspektif Tafsir Kontekstual” ini bertujuan mencari akar masalah yang menjadai sumber perbedaan antara metode hisab dan rukyat. Metode penelitian ini adalah kualitatif-diskriftif dengan mengacu pada data-data pustaka dan jurnal. Peneltian ini menghasilkan dan menemukan; bahwa kedua metode hisab berargumen pada ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an dan as-Sunnah dengan pendekatan tafsir kontekstual, sedangkan metode rukyat berargumen pada ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an dan hadits yang ditafsirkan dengan pendekatan tekstual. Kesimpulan ; Metode Hisab menggunakan dalil ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an dan as-Sunnah dengan metode tafsir kontekstul dengan argument, bahwa umat Islam  pada masa Nabi belum menguasai ilmu pengetahuan dan astronomi, sedangkan umat Islam  sekarang telah menguasai ilmu pengetahuan, ilmu falak dan asronomi. sedangkan metode rukyat menggunakan metode tafsir tekstual, dengan argument bahwa perintah melihat hilal (rukyatul hilal) adalah ta’abbudi (bersifat ibadah), maka dalil ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an dan as-Sunnah tidak dapat ditafsirkan secara kontekstual, melainkan harus ditafsirkan secara tekstual.
