Authors: Liliana Liliana , Santosa Paulus Insap , Kusumawardani Sri Suning
Published: April 2022

Massive Open Online Course (MOOCs) has helped develop the education sector since the Covid-19 pandemic, though it causes low retention. This study used a systematic literature review method to analyze the factors affecting the retention level of MOOCs participants in developing countries and worldwide. A total of 89 publications in the Scopus journal during 2015-2021 and 26 published in developing countries were examined. The results showed that the factors affecting the retention level of MOOCs' participants include perceived ease of use, usefulness, social influence, and self-efficacy. However, motivation was an insignificant factor in developing countries despite being significant worldwide. Infrastructure was an internal factor for the retention level among participants, though this study can be further expanded using better methods.

Published: April 2022

The aim of this work was the determination of desorption isotherms from cocoa beans at different temperatures (20°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C and 45°C), moisture ratio (10% and 90%). Gravimetric method and different temperatures were used to get the experimental moisture ratio at equilibrium. Experimental data were adjusted to mathematical isotherm models frequently used for the hygroscopic representation of agricultural products. Cocoa beans varied from 0 to 13% moisture ratio equilibrium. Obtained results showed that the moisture ratio at equilibrium decreases as temperature increases for the same relative humidity. Statistical parameters, modified the Oswin model, GAB, Iglesias Chirife Hasley and Chungs Pfost modified model better represented hygroscopic balance for cocoa beans than Henderson modified and Harkings Jura models. Desorption isotherm models are important for the determination of desorption energy and drying models. The desorption isotherms of cocoa beans were satisfactorily modeled by modified Oswin, GAB, Iglesias, Chirife, Halsey, and modified Chungs Pfost, which can be used as tools in the prediction and optimization of storage conditions in a wide range of water activities and temperatures.
Blast Eye Injury After Mobile Phone Battery Explosion: How to Manage it?
Authors: Kartika Ratih Justitia , Zuhria Ismi
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Injuries from mobile phone blasts have been on the rise in recent years. Lithium-ion batteries are the most common type found in cellphones and devices. In 2016 around 100 of the 2.5 million phone cell units have been recorded to have exploded. Mobile battery burst is a significantly underappreciated cause of serious ocular morbidity and could be a combination of mechanical, thermal, and chemical effects. Knowing proper management is very important to achieve the best result. Case presentation: We describe an ocular blast injury due to mobile phone battery explosion when plugged in to charge that experienced spasm and burned cilia, limbal ischemia, broad corneal haziness on both eyes, and visual acuity decreased. The fluorescein test was positive. We did proper irrigation and debris extraction around the ocular surface and periorbital tissue. It was treated with quinolone antibiotics eyedrop, atropine sulfate eyedrop, prednisolone eyedrop, and NSAID orally. In four days, the patient’s eye showed good clinical improvement with decreased corneal haziness with minimal epithelial defect. The visual acuity was improved on both eyes. Conclusions: Lithium-ion batteries are used in almost all smartphones and electronics. Lithium explosions can result in chemical and thermal burns on the ocular surface. Ocular alkali chemical injury combined with thermal and mechanical is an emergency case. The vision can be saved if the ocular surface burns are treated promptly and properly. These cases are required to raise public awareness about the potential risks of smartphone use, adopt safe practices as recommendations from the manufacturers, and avoid counterfeit products and such accidents.
Ankyloblepharon Filiforme Adnatum in a Newborn Baby Girl
Authors: Dharma Anggisari Danastri , Loebis Rozalina
Published: April 2022

Introduction: One type of congenital defect, ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum (AFA), is characterized by a single or many strands of connective tissue connecting the upper and lower eyelids. It occurs only infrequently at the lateral or medial canthus. The eyelids normally begin to form within the fifth month of pregnancy, and they usually begin to separate entirely into an upper and lower lid by the seventh month of pregnancy. This type of tissue always originates from the grey line, which is located anterior to the meibomian gland orifices and posterior to the cilia. Case presentation: A 22-day-old female child was taken to the Surabaya Eye Clinic with a congenital eye condition. Because his top and lower eyelids were stuck together at birth, she was unable to open his eyes fully. The infant, who weighed 2.8 kg at birth, was delivered by elective caesarean section at 39 weeks gestation to a 28-year-old primigravida mother. There were no abnormalities discovered during the prenatal, intranatal, or postnatal stages. Except for iron and vitamins, the mother is not taking any medications. There was no prior history of X-ray exposure found. There was no history of congenital abnormalities or consanguinity in the patient’s family. Conclusions: Ankyloblepharon filiforme adnatum (AFA) is a rare case. Early diagnostic and comprehensive management including surgical correction should be performed promptly to minimize any risk of amblyopia, and enable full examination of the eye.

Authors: Kresentia Stevie , Surya Amir
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Orbital cellulitis is a rare ophthalmic infection. Special attention should be given because it can be fatal, either to vision or life. Case presentation: A 49-year- old man complained of swelling and pain in his left eye for two weeks, along with lethargy and fever. One month previously, the patient was admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of sinusitis and was planned for surgery, but he refused. He also had a history of uncontrolled diabetes. The examination showed proptosis and adhesions of the upper and lower eyelids covered with crusts. After debridement, his visual acuity was no light perception. There was a lot of necrotic tissue and pus covering the sclera and conjunctiva. Intraocular pressure was soft by palpation. He was planned for hospitalization. The results of the pus culture showed the growth of Serratia marcescens, and the antibiotics usage was following the bacterial culture. Unfortunately, after 72 hours of intravenous antibiotics, there was no clinical improvement. We decided to do evisceration to reduce local infection and prevent the infection spreading systemically. The patient’s condition was gradually improve after surgery. Conclusions: Orbital cellulitis is an infection that can be harmful unless the treatment starts immediately and effectively. Redness and swollen eyelid accompanied by proptosis and painful ocular movement can be critical signs of the disease. Intravenous antibiotics have always been the first choice of treatment. Therefore, culture and antibiotic sensitivity test play an important role in successful treatment. Surgical should be considered if it becomes a life-threatening condition.

El diagnóstico evidencia que más de la mitad de los estudiantes no logra la comprensión de los significados de los textos, referida a la percepción crítica, así como no redacta textos coherentes y cohesionados ni aplica estrategias de autorrevisión y valoración, referidas a la producción crítica. Asimismo, más de la mitad de los docentes no aplica metodologías para la producción de textos ni estrategias innovadoras para la retroalimentación. Frente a ello, la competencia literaria es abordada desde el enfoque comunicativo, el constructivista y el conectivismo. Este marco teórico brinda soporte científico al diseño de la propuesta de una estrategia didáctica, la cual favorece la percepción y la producción crítica, bajo un modelo híbrido y flexible, que atiende la retroalimentación y el uso de las TIC. En conclusión, esta investigación presenta una línea sólida formativa, que lleva a la superación de la problemática mediante una práctica pedagógica novedosa y pertinente en el contexto actual.

Arabic Galenism from Antioch to Byzantium: Ibn Buṭlān and Symeon Seth
Authors: Pietrobelli Antoine , Cronier Marie
Published: April 2022

This paper investigates how Symeon Seth (second half of the eleventh century) introduced some Arabic medical heritage, especially Galenic, to Byzantium, which probably originated from his training in Antioch around 1060 with the famous Baghdadi physician Ibn Buṭlān. After providing new data on Seth’s biography, our analysis focuses on his three main medical works, whose nature and reception were very different but which are all extensively based on Arabic science: the Refutation of Galen, the On Foodstuffs and the On the Handbook of Health (the latter being, as we show, a partial translation of Ibn Buṭlān’s Taqwīm al-Ṣiḥḥa). We analyse the context of production of each of these three works, the way Seth uses and quotes (or does not quote) his Arabic sources, and their Byzantine reception.

A Hitherto Unknown Greek Translation of Al-Majūsī’s Kāmil ṣināʿa al-ṭibbiyya Discovered in MS Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Suppl. Gr. 638: A Preliminary Study
Authors: Miguet Thibault
Published: April 2022

The main objective of the current paper is to offer a preliminary study of a hitherto unknown Byzantine translation of al-Majūsī’s Kitāb al-malakī preserved in a single manuscript: MS Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, supplément grec 638 (fourteenth century). After a brief introduction, the Paris manuscript is presented and described, and its content – a Greek translation of the first part of al-Majūsī’s Kitāb al-malakī – identified. The study then focuses on John Dioikêtês of Constantinople, responsible for the Greek text, showing that it is no less than the translator of the Arabic work as well as the copyist of the manuscript. The last part formulates an hypothesis as to where the manuscript could have been produced, and gives some details on its subsequent story. An Appendix compares Greek text samples of the Paris manuscript with Arabic text samples of the Kitāb al-malakī (based on two editions and a manuscript), showing that the Greek text is a translation of the Arabic.

Authors: Glynias Joe
Published: April 2022

This paper sheds light on one aspect of the large-scale influx of Arabic scientific knowledge into Byzantium through an analysis of three Byzantine astrological compendia that contain texts originally written in Greek as well as those translated from Arabic to Greek. While written c. 1200–1400, each manuscript contains a compilation that was assembled in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The paper first considers the dating of each of the three compilations and shows the utility in using these late Byzantine manuscripts to study Middle Byzantine astrology. Second, it analyzes the Arabic texts translated in these compilations and uses them to explain the chronology and the scale of the translation of astrological material from Arabic to Greek. Third, it considers how the Arabic and Greek material is combined within these manuscripts, and what the resulting synthesis says about Middle Byzantine astrology writ large.
The Bees’ Honey: Remarks on Students as Agents of Knowledge in Renaissance Europe Through the Case of Simon Clüver (1540–1598)
Authors: Lepri Valentina
Published: April 2022

This article argues that the notebooks produced by students during their stay abroad can become precious documentary evidence of early modern knowledge creation and organization. From the second half of the 15th century an unprecedented availability of paper led students to take notes freely on anything they considered useful or interesting for their education and, more generally, for their future. The case study of the notebooks belonging to a student from Danzig who stayed in Wittenberg in the 1560s, will show how the multi-text documents produced by students contribute to a better understanding of both their educational needs and their original reworking of academic knowledge.

Published: April 2022

Immersiven Technologien wie Virtual Reality (VR) wird aktuell in allen Bildungsbereichen ein grosses Potenzial als Bildungstechnologien und Lernmedien zugeschrieben, obwohl derzeit noch viele Fragen bzgl. Lernwirksamkeit, pädagogischer und didaktischer Gestaltung sowie medizinischer und ethischer Einsatzrisiken nicht ausreichend beantwortet werden können. Diese haben jedoch insbesondere für den Schulunterricht eine besondere Relevanz, da Kinder immer auch Schutzbefohlene darstellen. Dieser Artikel gibt im metaphorischen Sinne eines «Beipackzettels» einen Überblick über die Bedenken und Risiken des schulischen VR-Einsatzes aus medizinischer, pädagogischer, didaktischer, technischer und ethischer Perspektive mit dem Ziel, eine sensibilisierte und reflektierte Nutzung dieser vielversprechenden Technologie zu ermöglichen. Daher werden weiterhin konkrete Gestaltungsempfehlungen für Lehrende, Lernende, Eltern, Bildungsinstitutionen, Personen in der Entwicklung sowie politische Akteur:innen formuliert. Dieser Artikel möchte des Weiteren mit diesen Empfehlungen einen Grundstein für den interdisziplinären Diskurs im Bereich der schulischen Nutzung von VR als Lernmedium legen. Er ist daher mit einem Beteiligungsaufruf zur Mitwirkung aller am Schulunterricht beteiligten Akteur:innen verbunden.
Assessment of Support Vector Machine performance for default prediction and credit rating
Authors: Amzile Karim , Habachi Mohamed
Published: April 2022

Predicting the creditworthiness of bank customers is a major concern for banking institutions, as modeling the probability of default is a key focus of the Basel regulations. Practitioners propose different default modeling techniques such as linear discriminant analysis, logistic regression, Bayesian approach, and artificial intelligence techniques. The performance of the default prediction is evaluated by the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve using three types of kernels, namely, the polynomial kernel, the linear kernel and the Gaussian kernel. To justify the performance of the model, the study compares the prediction of default by the support vector with the logistic regression using data from a portfolio of particular bank customers. The results of this study showed that the model based on the Support Vector Machine approach with the Radial Basis Function kernel, performs better in prediction, compared to the logistic regression model, with a value of the ROC curve equal to 98%, against 71.7% for the logistic regression model. Also, this paper presents the conception of a support vector machine-based rating tool designed to classify bank customers and determine their probability of default. This probability has been computed empirically and represents the proportion of defaulting customers in each class.
Do Tunisian firms manage their earnings around the corporate tax rate cut?
Authors: Garfatta Riadh , Zorgati Imen , Zaabi Elmoez
Published: April 2022

Earnings management (EM, hereafter), which affects the quality of corporate financial information, continues to receive increased attention from practitioners and legislators. The paper deals with this topic and attempts to investigate the EM practices around the tax rate cut following the Tunisian tax reform of 2021. Evidence of EM is examined by focusing on both accounting and real EM. From a sample of 61 Tunisian public offering companies, observed from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2021, the results estimated from the system GMM model argue that this tax rate reduction constitutes a real incentive to shift income from the period of higher tax rate (2020) towards the period of lower tax rate (2021) achieving significant savings for corporations. Furthermore, the results show that Tunisian firms have both accounting and real EM downward in the second half of 2020, and that the former is sharper. For the first half of 2021, the results show a joint use of accruals management and real management upwards, and that the latter is broader. These findings may be useful to tax policy-makers in the application of tax rules put in place to counter aggressive tax evasion. In addition, external auditors and tax auditors should consider the period around the change in the corporation tax rate to be more suspect.

The Pandemic from the Corona Virus (SARS-CoV-2) has impacted the worldwide Education Sector tremendously. Due to it educational institutes across the state of West Bengal have been closed since March-2020. The Pandemic forced the educational community in West Bengalto shift their teaching-learning activities to online platforms.Teachers and students quickly adapted to synchronous i.e. interactive online classes along with asynchronous i.e. video-and other materials-based modes of teaching learning. Various online education platforms and facilitating tools are used heavily during this crisis period. This survey paper aims to get a detail report on the perception and preferences for different online teaching-learning parameters used by UG level learnersof different general degree colleges along with colleges of professional courses like BBA/BCA and engineering colleges fromthe districts of Bankura and Purulia of West Bengal.The students preference for different attributes of online learningmay be useful for designinga suitable online class environment.A survey work was done in online mode using google form. The form was circulated among several WhatsApp group of students of different colleges through their teachers.The result showed that almost 96% of thestudents prefer to use Google Meet or Google classroom with their smart phone for online classes. It was also observed that frequent loss of Internet connection in rural areas is moreprominent thanin the Urban and Semi Urban areas of South Bengal.Students preference has utmost importance to attract them for attending online classes. This article will be helpful to attract students in online classes in this crisis period.
