Authors: Kumalasari Intan , Yadi Saputra Aswin
Published: May 2024

In today's era along with the times, the internet network is needed in finding information because the internet is used as a source of information and exchange data in real time. Therefore, the internet is used in daily human activities, especially in the world of education. In the world of education, the internet is used as a means of online learning and as a source for finding learning materials related to education. In an educational institution, the number of users connected to the internet network is very large, making it possible for infiltration by malware and distribution. Malware activity is closely related to computer memory, computer performance and also network activity on computer systems making it difficult to access learning media sites in the network because there is no network security management that regulates the data exchange traffic of each user. The right solution to overcome this problem is to implement malware security and proxy server configurations as the method used to manage traffic for data exchange activities. The methodology used is dynamic analysis by analyzing malware on a system and looking at the activities or processes activated by the malware. By applying the security malware method and proxy server configuration, the quality of the network will be better because it minimizes malware traffic on the network system according to the configuration that is applied and also users will be restricted from accessing certain sites.
ENHANCED NETWORK SECURITY: A DATA MINING APPROACH TO INTRUSION DETECTION
Authors: Teoh Chun Hwung  , Yusof Yuhanis
Published: May 2024

In the ever-evolving landscape of network security, the role of Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) is critical. These systems serve as the guardians of digital networks, defending against a relentless tide of cyber threats. However, the efficacy of IDSs in accurately detecting and preventing these threats remains a critical concern. The emergence of new attack vectors and the growing sophistication of cyberattacks underscore the need for innovative approaches to intrusion detection. Nonetheless, there is an information vacuum about the efficacy of different data mining approaches in intrusion detection. This study investigates the deployment of seven data mining models, which include Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, and two types of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) on five (5) IDS benchmark datasets. Based on the undertaken experiments, it is evident that the RNN is the best classifier as it obtained 100% accuracy for all datasets. Due to its strength in modelling time-dependent and sequential data problems, RNN has become powerful in predicting future attacks. As our digital world evolves, so must our cyber defences; hence, this study strives to equip network security professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to fortify their networks, ensuring resilience against the ever-adaptive landscape of cyber threats.
Reprocolla: Requirements Prioritisation Model with Collaboration Perspectives Based on Cost-Value Approach
Authors: Amelia Tan , Mohamed Rozlina
Published: May 2024

The process of ranking requirements in software development is made up of various criteria and numerous stakeholders, which are properly selected for the effective prioritisation of software requirements. These requirements have encountered several challenges, including lack of scalability, complexity of pairwise comparisons and biases due to the cognitive load on stakeholders. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate and find solutions to improve the software prioritisation process using the Reprocolla model. The model was built by weighing the criteria in terms of benefits, opportunities, costs, and risks (BOCR) classification, which were then calculated using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method. Furthermore, the selection of alternatives was computed using the fuzzy technique for order preference using the similarity to an ideal solution (FTOPSIS) method. The success of Reprocolla was evaluated using seven datasets based on real projects and compared with the two existing methods for prioritising requirements, FAHP and FTOPSIS. The experiment results used inferential and descriptive statistics approaches with three indicators: accuracy, time consumption, and ease of use. Based on the three indicators mentioned above, the inferential statistics showed no significant difference between the perspectives of clients and developers. Whereas, descriptive statistics found that Reprocolla is more accurate, consumes less time, and has the highest ease of use percentage. The result showed that as stakeholders’ satisfaction level increases, the software development process becomes more accurate, thereby leading to a decrease in time consumption and a rise in ease ofusage. The result also showed that the development of the Reprocolla tool, a collaboration between humans and machines, enhanced the effectiveness of the requirements prioritisation process.
Revisiting Wolbachia detections: old and new issues in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and other insects
Authors: Ross Perran , Hoffmann Ary
Published: May 2024

Wolbachia continue to be reported in species previously thought to lack them, particularly Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The presence of Wolbachia in this arbovirus vector is considered important because releases of mosquitoes with transinfected Wolbachia are being used around the world to suppress pathogen transmission and these efforts depend on a lack of Wolbachia in natural populations of this species. We previously assessed papers reporting Wolbachia in natural populations of Ae. aegypti and found little evidence that seemed convincing. However, since our review, more and more papers are emerging on Wolbachia detections in this species. Our purpose here is to evaluate these papers within the context of criteria we previously established but also new criteria that include the absence of releases of transinfections within the local areas being sampled which has contaminated natural populations in at least one case where novel detections have been reported. We also address the broader issue of Wolbachia detection in other insects where similar issues may arise which can affect overall estimates of this endosymbiont more generally. We note continuing shortcomings in papers purporting to find natural Wolbachia in Ae. aegypti which are applicable to other insects as well.
The Impact of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy in enhancing Psychological Resilience among basic education teachers in Oman: Longitudinal Study
Authors: Sayed Gomaa Abdelrasheed Nasser , Saeed Muhammad Amir
Published: May 2024

The current study aimed to investigate the impact of Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy counseling program in enhancing the psychological resilience of basic education teachers in the Dhofar Region, south of the Sultanate of Oman. The experimental study sample consisted of (60) male teachers in cycle two of basic education in Dhofar Governorate with low psychological resilience scores. This sample was randomly divided into two equivalence groups: one experimental group and the other control group. Each group consisted of (30) male teachers. The counseling program was applied for the male teachers in the experimental group rather than the control group to develop psychological resilience with them. The researchers have used the psychological resilience scale (prepared by the researchers) and a counseling program based on mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (prepared by the researchers). The results of the study indicated that there were statistically significant differences at level (0.01) between the mean scores of the experimental and the control group in the post-test on the psychological resilience scale in favor of the experimental group. There are also statistically significant differences at the level of (0.01) between the mean scores of the experimental group in both the pre-test and post-test on the psychological resilience scale in favor of the post-test. This revealed the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy in increasing the level of psychological resilience among male teachers as the scores of teachers rose significantly on the pre-test. In addition, the study has also concluded with finding non-statistically significant differences at the level of (0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group in both pre-test and follow-up tests on the psychological resilience scale. The results emphasise continuing mindfulness-based cognitive therapy's effectiveness in increasing psychological resilience among male teachers. In the light of the results, it can be recommended by: Organizing workshops and open discussion forums between teachers, as this approach will significantly motivate social relations, reinforce confidence among teachers, and enhance occupational performance.
Skra Victory (1918): Greece's Military, Political, and Social Gain
Authors: Christos Papaioannou
Published: May 2024

This article examines the successful Greek army operation at Skra in May 1918. This battle was the first significant deployment of Greek troops during World War I. For the Greek army, this operation was of utmost importance, as it would demonstrate both its combat capability and its willingness to fight alongside the Entente. Through the utilization of primary and secondary sources, the article analyzes the preparation of the Greek divisions and the execution of the attack. However, the research is not limited to a purely military analysis. The victorious outcome of the battle had multiple ramifications. On an international level, it strengthened Venizelos's credibility with the Allies and gave the Greek army the opportunity to demonstrate its fighting capacity and its willingness to fight alongside the Entente. At the same time, the victory demoralized the Bulgarian soldiers and broke the deadlock on the Macedonian Front. Domestically, the victory at Skra strengthened Venizelos's political position and filled the divided Greek society with pride, mitigating the disagreements of the recent past. Finally, within the Greek army itself, this particular battle acted as a catalyst. It filled it with self-confidence, morale, and faith in its combat capabilities. At the same time, it inspired those loyal to the political neutrality of Constantine, who had been reluctant to participate in the war, to enlist and fight.

This research was carried out to assess the perception and the level of use of improved processing and storage facilities among rural women in Kwara State. Specifically, the study described socio-economic characteristics of rural women, assessed the frequency of use and ascertained perception of women on the use of improved processing and storage facilities. A three stage sampling procedure was used to select 160 rural women from who data was collected using structured interview schedule. Data collected were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). Findings revealed that 60.6% were aged above 50years, 79.4% were married, 48.8% had no formal education while 62.5% were non-member of cooperative society. PPMC analysis between socio-economic characteristics and the use of improved processing/storage facilities among rural women indicated that level of formal education (p=0.002, r=0.240) and membership of agricultural society (p=003, r=0.237) showed positive significant relationship while age (p=0.000, r=-0.299) and marital status (p=0.000, r=-0.308) showed negative significant relationship at p<0.05 level of significance. The study concluded that women in the study area were low users of improved processing and storage facilities despite having favourable perception towards using them. It was therefore recommended that extension service should engage in training women and dissemination of affordable processing and storage technologies to the rural communities.
Mucho más allá de la regulación emocional:
Authors: Aramburo Rodríguez Juan Felipe
Published: May 2024

El giro afectivo ha dado, en las últimas décadas, lugar e importancia a la comprensión de la dimensión emotiva en los vínculos sociales. El sector escolar empieza a pensar su hacer en este mismo sentido. Como este campo de estudios aún está en construcción, surgen muchas preguntas a la hora de entender la escuela como un escenario para pensar la justicia social desde una perspectiva afectiva.
Este texto intenta cruzar algunas de las preguntas de la escuela, los maestros y las maestras sobre lo emocional reconociendo los aportes de varios autores y, sobre todo, posibilitando la instalación de nuevas preguntas. Para esto se proponen algunas ideas distribuidas en cuatro apartados.
En primer lugar, se reflexiona sobre los fines sociales de la escuela, especialmente la posibilidad de construir espacios para la vinculación con los otros. Posteriormente se exploran algunas ideas sobre lo afectivo y lo emocional como parte de la producción del giro afectivo. Después, se muestran las relaciones y complementariedades entre la justicia curricular y la justicia afectiva. Finalmente se visibiliza y refuerza el rol privilegiado de maestras y maestras en la construcción de una escuela promotora del amor público y del derecho primordial de cuidarnos colectivamente.

Authors: Karim Md Anwarul , Jamal Chowdhury Yakub , Mia MA Mannan
Published: May 2024

Background: Though 0.36% NaCl buffered solution has been used as an effective reagent for carrying out Naked Eye Single Tube Red cell Osmotic Fragility Test (NESTROFT) as a screening test for the detection of b thalassemia and Hemoglobin E traits, reading time for its interpretation is yet to be settled.
Methods: This cross -sectional analytic study was done at Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, BSMMU from January 2006-June 2007. NESTROFT was performed in 3 separate tubes for each of the 100 subjects (with â thalassemia trait and HbE trait and normal hemoglobin) with 0.36% NaCl buffered solution and reading was taken at different time at 5-minute, 15-minuteand 30-minute. Results were recorded as positive and negative. Hb electrophoresis, Hemogram with RBC indices for each sample and iron profile of selected subjects were done.
Results: Among the 100 study subjects, 48 were carriers (18 were â thalassemia traits, 30 were Hb E traits). Age range was 1 to 52 yrs. Mean Hemoglobin concentration, MCV, MCH of both b thalassemia and Hb E carrier were significantly lower than normal subjects (p values <. 001). At 5-minute observation, NESTROFT was positive in 17 out of 18 â thalassemia traits with a sensitivity of 94.4%, 24 out of 30 HbE traits gave positive result with a sensitivity of 80%. Among the 52 normal subjects 35 gave negative result with a specificity of 67%. Positive predictive value and negative predictive value for detection of b thalassemia traits and HbE traits were 50% & 97% and 58% and 85%respectively. Result of NESTROFT interpreted at 15-minute and 30-minute did not show any change.
Conclusion: From this study it may be concluded that for interpretation of NESTROFT reading at 5-minute would be optimum.

Published: May 2024

Background: Dengue fever, particularly in its severe form, poses a significant health challenge in tropical regions like Bangladesh. Understanding the clinical and laboratory predictors of mortality in pediatric patients with severe dengue is crucial for improving management strategies and patient outcomes. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at the Department of Pediatrics, Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, from January 2019 to December 2020. It included 300 pediatric patients diagnosed with severe dengue. Results: Of the 300 participants, 286 (95.33%) survived, while 14 (4.67%) succumbed to the disease. Major bleeding, refractory shock, a significant rise in hematocrit, signs of pleural effusion, and ascites were significantly associated with mortality. Hematologically, a low platelet count (<15000/mm3) was a strong predictor of mortality. Elevated serum ferritin levels (>500 micrograms/L) were also significantly associated with increased mortality risk. Conclusions: The study highlights major bleeding, refractory shock, significant hemoconcentration, pleural effusion, ascites, low platelet count, and high serum ferritin levels as key predictors of mortality in pediatric patients with severe dengue. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive clinical monitoring and targeted management strategies to improve outcomes in pediatric dengue patients.

Published: May 2024

El estudio evalúa y compara el clima organizacional en las sedes de MASISA S.A. en Ecuador y Chile. Se aplicó el Instrumento del Clima Organizacional Psicológico a 100 empleados (28 en Ecuador y 72 en Chile) durante los meses de mayo, junio y julio de 2023. El instrumento consta de 12 dimensiones que abarcan aspectos como compañerismo, dirección, innovación, satisfacción laboral, entre otros. Los resultados indicaron que el clima organizacional en ambas sedes fue calificado como muy favorable, con una puntuación promedio de 4,82 en una escala de 5 puntos, sin diferencias significativas entre los dos países. Sin embargo, se observó una notoria diferencia en la dimensión "Percepción del esfuerzo sobre el desempeño", sugiriendo que en Ecuador hay una mayor valoración del esfuerzo y desempeño laboral en comparación con Chile. Estas disparidades pueden estar influenciadas por factores culturales o dinámicas laborales específicas. El estudio no solo aporta a la comprensión del clima organizacional en contextos sudamericanos, sino que, también es la primera vez que en estos dos países se emplea este instrumento de medición, representando un avance significativo para futuras investigaciones sobre el tema en la región.

Integrating omics for an improved understanding of cardiac diseases
Authors:   , van Vugt Marion
Published: May 2024

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) are diseases affecting approximately 60 million people worldwide each. AF patients suffer from an irregular heartbeat and HF patients experience a loss of pump function. Pharmacological treatments of AF, HF, and related heart muscle diseases (cardiomyopathies) focus predominantly on symptom relief and a more favourable prognosis, while prevention and treatment of
underlying causes should be targeted. We searched for genes, proteins, and metabolites related to AF, HF, and cardiomyopathies, because perturbations in genes and proteins contribute to cardiac diseases and dysfunctional energy metabolism fails to meet the high energy demands of the heart to provide the body with blood, which weakens the heart. Indeed, we identified new and confirmed known associations. The findings not only deepen our understanding of cardiac diseases but also provide actionable leads for drug development and personalised therapeutics by pinpointing which drugs target these genes and proteins. Additionally, we evaluated pathogenic genetic variants in the general population, observing many healthy participants carry these variants associated with the inherited cardiomyopathies. Clustering HF patients using proteins, resulted in three subgroups with different rates of progression, which help identify patients in need of timely intervention. These studies show that the integration of data on genes, proteins, and metabolites reflects a promising trend in cardiovascular research, paving the way for more targeted therapeutics. As technology advances and datasets expand, knowledge on pathogenicity can be reevaluated and future studies will elucidate even more mechanisms contributing to cardiac disease, ultimately leading to improved clinical care.
Successful Screening of Undiagnosed Psoriatic Arthritis in Primary Care Utilising Digital Interventions Within a Quality Improvement Programme
Authors: Chan Antoni
Published: May 2024

Background:
Despite the advancements in the management of psoriasis (PsO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), there remains a significant delay to diagnosis of PsA. National guidelines recommend regular screening of patients with PsO for PsA. The aim of this study was to increase the screening of patients with PsO, and reduce the delay to diagnosis in PsA.

Methods:
A retrospective baseline audit was conducted in patients with PsO attending a large general practice (Brookside Group Practice, Reading, UK) between November 2022–April 2023. In the follow-up stage between May–November 2023, a digital Egton Medical Information System (EMIS; Emis Health, Rawdon, Leeds, UK) web template, using the Psoriasis Epidemiology Screening Tool (PEST) questionnaire was implemented. The number of patients with PsO screened for PsA, and the number of newly diagnosed PsA cases, were recorded.

Results:
At baseline, 15 patients with PsO were identified, and none had PsA screening done. In the follow-up phase, 28 patients coded for PsO were identified. There was an increase in the number of patients screened for PsO from 15 to 28, representing an increase of 87% from baseline.

From the follow-up group, 12 (43%) patients were screened for PsA. These patients were referred to the specialist clinic, and seven (58%) had confirmed PsA. This represented a population of patients with previously undiagnosed PsA within the general practitioner (GP) surgery.

Conclusions:
The authors have successfully implemented an integrated and interactive digital screening tool for PsA within the GP system. This has led to an increase in the detection of patients with PsA. This practical and effective approach is in line with national guidelines for early detection, to prevent long-term damage and disability from PsA.

Authors: 789 Riski
Published: May 2024

The background of this research is related to the problem of low student learning outcomes in PJOK subjects. This is due to the lack of self-efficacy, low interest and learning motivation of students so that their learning outcomes become less. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-efficacy, interest and learning motivation with PJOK learning outcomes. The formulation of the problem in this research are: (1) Is there a relationship between self-efficacy and PJOK learning outcomes. (2) Is there a relationship of interest with PJOK learning outcomes. (3) Is there a relationship between learning motivation and PJOK learning outcomes? (4) How big is the relationship between self-efficacy, interest and motivation to learn with PJOK learning outcomes together. Respondents involved in this study were students of SMP Negeri 2 Cimanggung with a total of 82 students who were taken based on probability sampling technique; simple random sampling. Data collection techniques used by using questionnaires and documentation. The data analysis technique used to test the hypothesis is the product moment correlation technique and multiple correlation analysis using self-efficacy variables (X1), interest (X2) motivation (X2) as the independent variable and the dependent variable learning outcomes (Y). The results showed that (1) there was a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy and PJOK learning outcomes, where rcount was 0.348, while rtable with N=82 at the 5% significance level was 0.176, so rcount was greater than rtable (0.348 > 0.176 ). (2) there is a positive and significant relationship between interest and PJOK learning outcomes, where rcount is 0.348, while rtable with N=82 at the 5% significance level is 0.176, so rcount is greater than rtable (0.348 > 0.176). (3) there is a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy and CHD learning outcomes, where rcount is 0.348, while rtable with N=82 at the 5% significance level is 0.176, so rcount is greater than rtable (0.348 > 0.176). (4) there is a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy, interest and motivation to learn with PJOK learning outcomes, where rcount is 0.348, while rtable with N=82 at 5% significance level is 0.176, so rcount is greater than rtable (0.348 > 0.176).
