Authors: Tikhonova Kseniya V. , Burdova Darya V. , Penko Valeriya V. , Chirva Ekaterina A.
Published: January 2024

The issues of the territorial planning legal regulation and territorial entities’ land resource potential application are studied, as well as the law enforcement practices of development and

validation of the territorial planning documents as a single legal and technical framework for deployment of the capital construction facilities and establishment of the appropriate legal land use regimes. Moreover, the problems of the territorial planning documents’ quality and possible ways to minimise their number or eliminate thereof are analysed. Thus, the necessity to optimise the Federal State Information System of Territorial Planning (FSIS TP) based on integrating the data of the Unified State Register of Real Property, the Urban Planning and Management Information System and other related information sources involved in the territorial planning is justified, which would enable accumulation and reflection of their structural components in a single geospatial system.

Authors: Aimah Firda Rohmatul , Suhartoyo Eko
Published: January 2024

The discussion regarding the utilization of peer feedback necessitates careful consideration, particularly within the university context. However, the impact of using peer feedback remains indeterminate. This study investigated Indonesian EFL students' perceptions of implementing peer feedback during synchronous and asynchronous periods. A systematic literature review (SLR) method was applied in this study. The data were gathered using the Lens database, evaluated using PRISMA, and coded based on the research questions. The data were separated into two parts over ten years: synchronous (2012-2018) and asynchronous (2019-2022). The findings indicated positive and negative comments. In terms of positive comments, students claimed they got a better understanding; however, in terms of negative comments, students mentioned that the feedback was questionable. The students implemented peer feedback via online and offline media. For online media, students use social media, such as Instagram, Facebook, and websites. In terms of offline media, students used papers. The students also implemented some types of peer feedback, such as support comments, knowledge sharing, negotiation, appreciation, and criticism. The current research limitations and suggestions underscore the need for broader investigations across diverse educational levels and geographical contexts, emphasizing the imperative to enhance the study's generalizability and validity.
Gothic Resurgence: Tracing the Evolution of Elements from the 18th Century
Authors: Sharma Tanya , Yadav Prof. Dr. Parul
Published: January 2024

Gothic is now a significant genre that rules the artistic world in India and is loved, appreciated, and demanded by the audience. Gothic evolved further in India as the cruelty imposed by the British Raj increased, and slavery, discrimination, loss, pain, and war inspired the authors to write more about them. People could relate more to the Gothic genre because it was either a reflection of their current situations or the fiction in these stories was a distraction from their everyday problems. This paper aims at the emergence of the numerous elements related to Gothicism. It will also uncover the rising popularity of these Gothic elements in the country since the 18th Century. Many gothic elements, like horror, fear, mystery, supernatural, sadism, etc., are an integral part of the Gothic genre, drawing not just readers towards the genre but also inspiring the next generation of writers. The aspects highlighted in this paper include the various elements used in Gothic literature since the 18th Century and why people are attracted to this genre.
Reformulasi Hubungan Kerja bagi Driver Online: Analisis Kekosongan Hukum untuk Mengkonstruksi Pekerjaan yang Layak
Authors: I Komang Dananjaya  , Ni Kadek Ayu Sri Undari  , I Made Halmadiningrat
Published: January 2024

Nuansa eksploitatif dalam hubungan pekerjaan antara driver online dengan perusahaan penyedia layanan memunculkan diskursus penentuan klasifikasi hubungan hukum bagi para pihak. Penggunaan istilah “hubungan kemitraan” yang saat ini diterapkan tanpa dasar hukum yang jelas mengakibatkan perusahaan memiliki tendensi untuk memperoleh keuntungan yang tinggi tanpa memiliki kewajiban dalam pemenuhan terhadap hak-hak driver online sebagai pekerja. Situasi ini bertolak belakang dengan Sustainable Development Goals 2030 poin ke delapan yang menghendaki adanya perlindungan terhadap hak-hak pekerja sebagai salah satu indikator dalam menciptakan pekerjaan yang layak dan pertumbuhan ekonomi. Dalam menganalisa permasalahan hubungan pekerjaan antara driver online dengan penyedia layanan, penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian secara normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach), pendekatan konseptual (conceptual approach) dan pendekatan perbandingan (comparative approach). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan kedudukan hubungan kerja antara pekerja driver online dengan penyedia layanan sejatinya merupakan bentuk penyelundupan hukum yang mengatasnamakan hubungan kemitraan yang pada prakteknya menunjukkan (i) tidak sejalan dengan filosofi dari asas kebebasan berkontrak dan (ii) ketidakseimbangan kedudukan para pihak dalam perjanjian kemitraan. Padahal, apabila bersandar pada pertimbangan konsep hubungan tidak standar oleh International Labour Organization, interpretasi unsur hubungan kerja dan perbandingan dengan negara lain menunjukkan bahwa hubungan para pihak seharusnya dikategorikan sebagai jenis hubungan baru dalam sistem ketenagakerjaan Indonesia. Untuk itu, penelitian ini menawarkan konstruksi berkaitan dengan relasi kerja para pihak dalam peraturan perundang-undangan yang berusaha memproteksi driver online dari tendensi eksploitasi penyedia layanan. Hal tersebut mencakup pengupahan, Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3), hak istirahat, maupun hak cuti.

An Engineering Boundary Eigenvalue Problem Studied by Functional-Analytic Methods
Authors: Kohaupt L.
Published: January 2024

In this paper, we take up a boundary value problem (BVP) from the area of engineering that is described in a book by L. Collatz. Whereas there, the BVP is cast into a boundary eigenvalue problem (BEVP) having complex eigenvalues, here the original BVP is transformed into a BEVP that has positive simple eigenvalues and real eigenfunctions. Further, unlike there, we derive the inverse T = G of the differential operator L associated with the BEVP, show that T = G is compact in an appropriate real Hilbert space H, expand T u = Gu and u for all u ∈ H in a respective series of eigenvectors, and obtain max-, min-, min-max, and max-min-Rayleigh-quotient representation formulas of the eigenvalues. Specific examples for generalized Rayleigh quotients illustrate the theoretical findings. The style of the paper is expository in order to address a large readership.

Published: January 2024

Living standards are rising due to a more developed society, and recreation, particularly tourism, is becoming more critical. Expanding the tourist industry is one of the most significant concerns in economic growth. Tourism revenue has helped increase residents’ income, leading to socio-economic development. In recent years, emerging Vietnamese tourism spots like Hon Son, Sapa, Hue, Phu Quoc in Vietnam, and others have consistently drawn travellers to visit and experience through social networking platforms. Tourism potential is tremendous, but foreign visitors’ information about tourist destinations still needs to be improved. This work proposes an approach to integrating machine learning algorithms into an information system to consult tourism traveling. Machine learning algorithms can classify question topics, predict user intent, and predict conversation scenarios to give appropriate responses. Our method is evaluated on the dataset, including 7319 samples on 11 topics collected from the TWCS dataset, using three algorithms: Bag of Words, BERT, and RoBERTa. BERT achieved the highest performance among the surveyed algorithms with 90 % in accuracy and 90.1 % in F1-Score. From the trained model, the team built a mobile application on Android to deploy the chatbot application with the Flutter framework based on Dart, an object-oriented programming language developed by Google using the concept of containers. The system’s functionality serves two primary user groups: administrators and application users. Administrators can utilize the application’s primary functions to manage content set up, and train a chatbot. Users can access information about locations, read location articles, check hotel prices, and use chatbots to find answers to their location-related questions. Administrators can also train the chatbot model to expand its knowledge.

Published: January 2024

Faringitis atau sering dikenal sebagai radang tenggorokan merupakan penyakit yang memiliki tingkat prevalensi cukup tinggi di Indonesia. Salah satu patogen penyebab faringitis adalah bakteri Streptococcus pyogenes. Selama ini upaya pengobatan faringitis lebih difokuskan pada terapi antibiotika. Untuk mencegah timbulnya resistensi S. pyogenes terhadap antibiotika, maka salah satu upaya mengatasi faringitis adalah dengan mengembangkan obat-obatan baru yang bersumber dari alam. Pegagan merupakan salah satu jenis tanaman obat yang dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat secara empiris untuk mengatasi penyakit infeksi karena kandungan senyawa aktifnya yang bersifat antibakteri. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis daya hambat ekstrak daun pegagan (Centella asiatica) terhadap pertumbuhan S. pyogenes. Penelitian yang dilakukan adalah jenis eksperimental laboratorium dengan rancangan post-test only control group design. Pembuatan ekstrak etanol pegagan dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode maserasi. Sebanyak 150 gram serbuk simplisia pegagan dimaserasi dengan etanol 75% selama 24 jam dengan kecepatan 175 rpm dan didapatkan ekstrak sebanyak 22,48 gram. Skrining antibakteri menggunakan media Mueller Hinton Agar dengan metode Kirby-Bauer pada lima konsentrasi berbeda yaitu 0%,  25%, 50%, 75%, 100%. Sebagai  kontrol positif digunakan antibiotika amphicillin. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan konsentrasi hambat minimal yaitu 50% dengan diameter zona hambat 6,13 ± 1,02 mm. Sedangkan, rata-rata diameter daya hambat ekstrak tertinggi terhadap S. pyogenes diperoleh pada konsentrasi 100% sebesar 11,39 ± 0,25 mm.  Analisis Kruskal-Wallis menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara kelompok kontrol dan kelompok perlakuan yang mengindikasikan daun pegagan mampu menghambat S. pyogenes. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat aktivitas antibakteri dari daun pegagan (Centella asiatica) terhadap S. pyogenes. Penelitian lanjutan diperlukan untuk mengetahui komponen senyawa aktif dari ekstrak C. asiatica yang berperan sebagai antibakteri.

Authors: Halim Silvikarina Erfanti Dewi
Published: January 2024

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection is a gastrointestinal infection that affects about 50% of the world's population, however, its prevalence varies across geographic areas. The actual relationship of H. pylori with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is still unclear because some studies report a high prevalence of H. pylori in GERD patients, but some studies report the opposite. This study aims to determine the relationship between H. pylori infection and GERD and the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in GERD patients at Eka Hospital Pekanbaru.Method: This study was a cross-sectional study of GERD patients who had undergone endoscopy at Eka Hospital Pekanbaru from January 2021 to December 2022. There were 219 patients. This research was then analyzed with the chi-square test using SPSS version 22.Results: A total of 219 GERD patients met the criteria for this study. 108 of them were positive for H. pylori from the results of endoscopic biopsies. The prevalence of GERD patients infected with H. pylori is 49.3%. 108 of them were positive patients, 14 (13%) GERD patients were ≥ 60 years old and 94 (87%) were 60 years old. Of the 108 positive patients, 53 (49.1%) were male, 55 (50.9%) were female. Where age and gender did not significantly increase the risk of H. pylori infection (p 0.05). The most common endoscopic biopsy finding is chronic erosive gastritis.Conclusion: Although the prevalence of GERD patients infected with H. pylori was quite large (49.3%), there was no significant association between GERD patients and the incidence of H. pylori infection.

L’héritage des activités de l’Alliance israélite universelle dans les relations entre accueillants.es et accueillis.es à Montréal et en France des années 1950 aux années 1980 : le cas des migrations d’origine marocaine
Authors: Chevalier-Caron Christine
Published: January 2024

In the 1950s and 1960s, the Jewish communities of Morocco left the Kingdom en masse. While a large majority migrated to Israel, tens of thousands chose France and Canada as their place of settlement. These migrants had in common that they had attended the schools of the Alliance Israélite Universelle, a very active institution with establishments in Morocco and scientific activities in France. Through this schooling, these individuals learned French and had close contact with French culture, which had some influence on their choice of migration process. In this article, the objective is to look at the different ways in which IAU activities had an impact on the settlement processes of Moroccans in Montreal and Paris. As we shall see, those who chose Montreal generally wished to set up activities that mirrored those of the IAU and that allowed for the maintenance of the French language. On the other hand, a very different reality awaited those who arrived in Paris and were confronted with an image of themselves that was disseminated by the Alliance. In this article, the author discusses the settlement - through the prism of otherness and orientalism - of the two phenomena that marked the relations with the Jewish communities already present in these societies.

Authors: Wentzell Tyler
Published: January 2024

Four significant fascist rallies took place in Toronto in the summer of 1938: John Ross Taylor’s Canadian Union of Fascists, Joseph Farr’s Nationalist Party, and then two rallies to establish the National Unity Party—a national fascist party fusing Farr’s group, Adrien Arcand’s Quebec-based Parti National Social Chrétien, and other fascist groups from across the country. This article examines thesefascist groups and their rallies, as well as the anti-fascist resistance. It focuses on the protests organized by the Provisional Anti-Fascist Committee consisting of the League for a Revolutionary Workers’ Party, the Toronto Libertarian Group, and working-class Jewish organizations. In examining these actors and events, the article seeks to demonstrate the complex dynamic of coordination and competition amongst fascist and anti-fascist actors.

This paper focuses on Canadian Jewish minorities that have attracted little scholarly attention. It does so mainly by reviewing data from the 2021 Canadian census on Jews who identify as members of visible, Indigenous, and gender minorities. This discussion points to several areas in need of further academic research, and concludes by claiming that, ironically, understudied Canadian Jewish minorities (including but not restricted to those discussed here) may form a majority of Canada’s Jewish population, making their inclusion in community affairs a necessity for the continued social cohesion of the country’s Jewish community.

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are widely used cancer therapies that harness the immune system to target malignant cells but subsequently can cause serious off-target immune-related Adverse Effects (irAEs). Patients with pre-existing autoimmune disease have historically been excluded from ICI clinical trials due to scientific concerns over increased risk of irAEs and flares of underlying autoimmune disease.Methods: We designed a retrospective, single-center, case-control study at a large, academic medical center to evaluate the incidence and severity of irAEs in patients with pre-existing autoimmunity compared to controls. Controls were matched 2:1 for age, sex, cancer histology, and ICI class. Patients were identified with ICD 9 and 10 codes followed by manual chart extraction. Cases were defined as patients with pre-existing, systemic autoimmunity. The primary outcome was severe irAE (Grade 3 or higher by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) within 6 months of ICI therapy. Secondary outcomes included response to ICIs, resolution of the irAE, ICI rechallenge success, and survival. Statistical analyses were performed by Chi-square, Fishers exact, Mann-Whitney, and Log-rank tests.Results: Of 3,130 patients treated with ICIs from 2015-2021, 28 cases with pre-existing autoimmune disease were identified and were matched with 56 controls. Pre-existing autoimmune conditions included antiphospholipid syndrome, inflammatory polyarthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and type I diabetes. Multiple cancer histologies, including genitourinary, gynecologic, head & neck, hepatobiliary, lung, melanoma, and pancreatic, were represented. Six of 28 cases (21.4%) experienced severe irAEs compared to 9/56 (16.1%) controls; the odds of developing a severe irAE were not significantly different (OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.083-2.33, p = 0.627, ns). Moreover, there were no significant differences in overall survival or tumor response between the two groups. The majority of irAEs resolved without long-term sequelae (66.7% of cases, 55.6% of controls). The majority of patients who were rechallenged with ICIs were successful in continuing therapy (66.7% of cases, 100% of controls).Conclusion: Our study suggests that patients with pre-existing autoimmune disease can be treated with ICI cancer therapies and experience rates of severe irAEs and overall survival that are similar to those of the general population. These data can aid oncologists in discussing risks and benefits of ICIs when treating patients with pre-existing autoimmunity and solid tumors.
A mulher, a poesia e a teoria literária
Authors: Scramim Susana Célia Leandro
Published: January 2024

Este texto pretende criar relações entre noções de gênero, gender e teoria literária contemporânea a partir da leitura do trabalho de Paula Glenadel, Angélica Freitas e Clarice Lispector. Para tal, são discutidos o próprio conceito de poesia a partir da prática da enunciação em primeira pessoa, bem como as suas relações com a História. Esse tecido de relações sustenta o conceito que proponho de escrita de mulheres, de teoria e de poesia.
(Des)figurações do feminino na poesia contemporânea
Authors: Oseki-Dépré Inês
Published: January 2024

Livres de um paradigma institucional, procuro, neste artigo, identificar traços formais na poesia feminina brasileira, como as associações abruptas, uma forma enigmática de captação do real e a ausência de elos entre os diversos termos utilizados. Interesso-me, em seguida, pela obra da poeta francesa Liliane Giraudon, autora de Polifonia Pentesileia, em português, poema em cinco partes que ilustra a problemática das (des)figurações do feminino na poesia moderna e contemporânea. A parte final é consagrada à análise formal do poema: gênero literário, citações, aspecto gráfico, estrutura, aspecto visual, prosódia, combinados numa hábil montagem. As estratégias utilizadas convergem com as de algumas poetas brasileiras, podendo-se identificar uma escrita “feminina”.
Refrações ontológicas em Orides Fontela e Renata Pimentel
Authors: Beserra Eduardo de Lima , Gonçalves Neto Nefatalin
Published: January 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar poemas de Orides Fontela e de Renata Pimentel. As análises são orientadas pelos conceitos “Estrutura de sentimento”, cunhado por Raymond Williams (2002), e “Consciência desesperada”, nos pressupostos de Søren Kierkegaard (2010), que se circunscrevem dentro do universo do trágico, também presente no desenvolvimento analítico dos poemas. Os preceitos teóricos e críticos foram acionados com o objetivo de perscrutarmos como se refratam os aspectos ontológicos e sociais nos versos das duas poetas para aproximá-las e/ou afastá-las. Outras perspectivas críticas e teóricas são acionadas, quando necessário, em função da solicitação das análises dos poemas.

Tobacco belongs to the Solanaceae family and from the very beginning was considered as a plant with a huge impact on the condition of the human body. The article discusses the changing views about this plant over the centuries. From the plant initially considered to have great therapeutic properties, it is now considered a highly addictive plant that has an adverse effect on the human health. Currently, tobacco is delivered to the human body mainly in the form of smoking cigarettes, cigars, pipes, water pipes, as well as e-cigarettes. In the study, particular emphasis was placed on the influence of smoking on the condition of hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity. “To be or not to be a caries disease” depends not only on the general health of a person, genetic conditions, hygiene and eating habits, the speed of saliva secretion, compounds contained in saliva and the gingival fissure, but also the use of stimulants, including smoking. The influence of tobacco is presented on development and course of caries disease. The influence of smoking on the occurrence of periodontal diseases as well as of the mucosa diseases was also presented, with particular emphasis on the appearance of precancerous conditions. The influence of this plant on the rate of secretion and the composition of saliva is also presented.

Introduction. Pain is a frequently cited factor associated with dental treatment, the perception of which is influenced by psychological factors, e.g. locus of pain control. Aim. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the locus of pain control and oral health status. Material and methods. A total of 78 first-time dental clinic patients (40 females, 38 males, Mage = 40.7, SD = 14.4) participated in the study. Before the visit, the subjects were asked to complete a questionnaire consisting of questions about their declared oral health status and frequency of dental visits, and the Beliefs about Pain Control Questionnaire (BPCQ), which has three subscales of locus of pain control: physician influence (BPCQ_L), internal factor (BPCQ_W) and random events (BPCQ_P). On the basis of intraoral examination, the PUWZ index and plaque index (API) were calculated. Results. Data analysis showed a significant relationship between the following factors: BPCQ_W (tau = -0.24), BPCQ_L (tau = -0.18) and BPCQ_P (tau = -0.19) and educational level of the subjects (p ≤ 0.05). A significant association was detected between BPCQ_W and frequency of visits (F = 6.013, p = 0.001), and between BPCQ_W and number of carious cavities (PZ) (r = 0.248; p = 0.028). BPCQ_L correlates with the number of extracted teeth (UZ) (r = 0.315; p = 0.005) and number of fillings (WZ) (r = –0.222; p = 0.051). A statistically significant negative correlation was observed between BPCQ_W and declared oral hygiene (tau= –0.195; p = 0.030). Conclusions. The BPCQ is related to objectively assessed and declared oral health status and may influence the frequency of dental visits and preventive measures taken.

Introduction. Incorrect labial and lingual frena attachments may be accompanied by diastema, difficult cleaning, and tongue mobility. Aim. To determine the frequency of lip and tongue frena attachments in relation to the types of dentition and the existence of a tendency to a pical movement of the frena attachment. Material and methods. Clinical evaluation of labial and lingual frena attachment type according to Plaček classification was carried out in dental office settings in patients up to 19 years of age. Type of dentition, additional frena presence, spacing of dentition, restricted tongue mobility, speech disturbance, soft tissue trauma and frenulotomy/frenuloplasty in history were noted. Statistical analysis: chi-squared test, Mann-Whitney U, Spearmans correlation, odds ratios OR (p < 0.05). Results. Among 305 patients aged 1.52-18.08 years (mean age [± SD] in years: primary dentition – 4.25 [± 1.31], mixed – 8.35 [± 1.75] and permanent – 14.56 [± 2.44]) the most frequent was gingival frenum attachment of upper lip – 41.97%. Mucosal frenum attachment of lower lip was noted in 90.16% and lingual frenum attachment in 99.02%. There was a positive correlation of age and mucosal frenum attachment of upper lip. In 19.67% spacing of dentition was present. Conclusions. The frequency of labial frenum attachment location differs in relation to dentition type. There was a tendency to apical movement of frenum attachment of upper lip – mucosal and gingival location of frenum attachment was more frequent in older patients, papillary and penetrating in younger ones.

Introduction. Physiological tooth eruption may be accompanied by symptoms that cause discomfort to the child, therefore parents use various methods and measures, not always safe and effective. Aim. On the initiative of the Polish Dental Society, a group of experts in pediatric dentistry, pediatrics, neonatology and pharmacology was established in order to develop guidelines for the management of teething in a child. Material and methods. A review of the literature on the course of tooth eruption, symptoms accompanying teething, safety and effectiveness of methods and measures used to alleviate them. An expert meeting and discussion took place on April 19, 2022. Results. The results of the review were used to prepare a document containing basic information about the symptoms accompanying physiological teething, measures for “teething” that may pose a threat to the infant, and recommendations for methods and measures that are effective and safe for the child. Conclusions. Based on the current state of knowledge, the following substances are not recommended for use in infants at the time of teething: lidocaine, belladonna, sucrose, alcohol, choline salicylate. Ingredients recommended in the composition of teething products: hyaluronic acid, xylitol, licorice root, marshmallow, damask rose, aloe, chamomile.
