Authors: Supriyanto  , Ika Arfiani  , Zain Ahmad Taufik
Published: July 2022

FAQ is an important part of a system because it is used to make it easier for users to solve problems faced by users. Some FAQ systems have even started using Chatbot technology to make it easier for users. Chatbots have been widely used as a medium for services in almost all fields. Starting from marketing, service systems, education, health, culture and entertainment. Various types of chatbots have sprung up, ranging from text-based like short messaging applications to voice-based ones. However, not all forms of chatbot designs have been successfully implemented in the FAQ system. Adjustments need to be made, especially considering the persona of the user. This research provides a solution by implementing a hybrid conversational design. Hybrid conversation design is accomplished by incorporating text, voice, and buttons into the chatbot interface. Conversation activities with this hybrid interface provide keywords that users may search for in the form of buttons. The hybrid design of the FAQ Chatbot is proven to be able to improve user usability compared to full text chatbots and full text FAQs. The increase in user usability is measured using UEQ, the results of which show an increase in usability from all existing aspects. However, the implementation of this hybrid design also has the consequence that the conversation management system must have structured initial information.

Published: July 2022

Mastoiditis is disease that to infection of the mastoid bone cavity that affects the size of the air cell system of the temporal bone. Visually, the information temporal CT image mastoid bone has can assist medical experts in viewing the mastoid air cell system (MACS), but the fact that medical personnel are experiencing difficulties in determining the size MACS is due to the many different characteristics and objects overlap, so that in the measurement of the area, precise and accurate results have not been obtained. This study aims to separate the object of the MACS with the development of extraction. The proposed method uses Morphology and Regionprops operations. The dataset used in the testing process is 347 of 5 patients indicated for Mastoiditis. The results obtained can calculate the area of MACS for each test image. Based on image testing, the area of the smallest MACS in this study was 0.589 cm2 and the largest was 6.183 cm2. This, the smaller the size of the MACS indicates the severity of infection, so this study can help medical personnel make decisions and take appropriate treatment actions.

La inmunodeficiencia combinada (IDC) por deficiencia de DOCK8 es un error innato de la inmunidad, caracterizado por alteración en linfocitos T y B; el espectro de manifestaciones incluye alergia, autoinmunidad, inflamación, predisposición a cáncer e infecciones recurrentes. La deficiencia de DOCK8 se puede distinguir de otras IDC o dentro del espectro de síndromes de hiper-IgE porque presenta una profunda susceptibilidad a las infecciones virales de la piel, con cánceres de piel asociados y alergias alimentarias graves. El locus subtelomérico 9p24.3, donde se ubica DOCK8, incluye numerosos elementos repetitivos de secuencia que predisponen a la generación de grandes deleciones de la línea germinal, así como a la reparación del ADN somático, mediada por recombinación. La producción residual de la proteína DOCK8 contribuye al fenotipo variable de la enfermedad. Las infecciones virales graves de la piel y la vasculopatía asociada a virus de la varicela Zóster (VVZ) reflejan una función importante de la proteína DOCK8, que normalmente se requiere para mantener la integridad de los linfocitos a medida que las células migran a través de tejidos. La pérdida de DOCK8 provoca deficiencias inmunitarias a través de otros mecanismos, incluido un defecto de supervivencia celular. Existen alteraciones en la respuesta de las células dendríticas, lo que explica la susceptibilidad a infección por virus, así como en los linfocitos T reguladores que podrían ayudar a explicar la autoinmunidad en los pacientes. El trasplante de células hematopoyéticas pluripotenciales es por el momento el único tratamiento curativo, mejora el eccema, la alergia y la susceptibilidad a infecciones.

La prensa de referencia en la organización del debate público: flujo de opinión en el debate sobre el movimiento feminista chileno de 2018
Authors: González Arias Cristian
Published: July 2022

La prensa es fundamental en la formación de la opinión pública. El año 2018, el debate público nacional chileno estuvo marcado por la irrupción del movimiento feminista. Hitos del movimiento fueron la toma de recintos universitarios y marchas multitudinarias realizada durante ese año. La prensa de referencia chilena está conformada por cuatro diarios: El Mercurio, Las íšltimas Noticias, La Tercera y La Cuarta. En este contexto nos hemos propuesto el objetivo de caracterizar el flujo de opinión en la prensa de referencia chilena frente al movimiento feminista de 2018.  Para esto, se indagaron las voces que aparecieron en los diarios de manera directa e indirecta formulando un punto de vista frente al movimiento feminista e identificamos las problemáticas que fueron abordadas. Recolectamos la totalidad de textos sobre el tema que publicaron los cuatro diarios alrededor de dos eventos que marcaron dos etapas en el movimiento feminista: la marcha del 16 de mayo de 2018, identificada como inicio mediático de la movilización y la marcha 25 de julio del mismo año que representa el declive de la presencia mediática del movimiento. El corpus quedó constituido por 86 textos. Como resultados destacamos la diferencia que existe entre los diarios serios y populares, la representatividad que obtienen determinadas voces dentro del debate y el cambio de prioridades temáticas entre los dos eventos estudiados.

Published: July 2022

El estudio de las actitudes lingüísticas es una herramienta de extraordinario valor a la hora de entender los conceptos que una determinada lengua provoca en los hablantes que la escuchan, en la mayorí­a de los casos basados en estereotipos comunes a toda una comunidad. En nuestro estudio, hemos considerado que las actitudes hacia la lengua portuguesa en dos naciones distantes geográficamente, España y Uruguay, pero ambas hablantes de la misma lengua, podrí­a aportar interesantes revelaciones sobre la percepción que el portugués exportaba a las naciones vecinas. Hemos acotado nuestro estudio entre los años 1860 y 1930, ya que fueron unas décadas en las que ambas naciones sufrieron enormes cambios a nivel polí­tico y social, pero aún más radicales a nivel intelectual y literario, por lo que hemos analizado obras literarias, artí­culos periodí­sticos y ensayos de escritores españoles y uruguayos, una vez que consideramos que la literatura es un vehí­culo de transmisión de las diferentes identidades de los pueblos.
Sobre el tono apocalí­ptico de la Lira Popular en el fin de siglo
Authors: Carrasco Gastón
Published: July 2022

Siguiendo el concepto "tono apocalí­ptico" de Jacques Derrida, se pretende analizar la producción escatológica de la Lira Popular hacia finales del siglo XIX en Chile , en torno a ideas como el advenimiento del Anticristo, el Juicio Final y el Apocalipsis. En el tejido colectivo de voces y el uso de un tono apocalí­ptico se identifican diversos fines. Entre estos, la venta comercial a partir del sensacionalismo, denunciar la inminencia de un fin histórico, el desmantelamiento de la sociedad tal como se conoce y el advenimiento de la modernidad como un juicio final.
Lenguaje inclusivo, usos del morfema –e y posicionamientos subjetivos
Authors: Garcí­a Negroni Marí­a Marta , Hall Beatriz
Published: July 2022

De las propuestas actuales para evitar el sexismo y el binarismo en el lenguaje, nos centramos en el morfema –e (chiques). En el marco del Enfoque dialógico de la argumentación y la polifoní­a y retomando la lí­nea de investigación expuesta en trabajos anteriores, analizamos las enunciaciones con dicho morfema como respuestas dialógicas a marcos de discurso relativos a la norma (académica y social) y, consecuentemente, como plasmación de distintos posicionamientos enunciativos frente a ellos. En tanto huellas diversas de heterogeneidad, las ocurrencias del morfema -e confirman el valor simbólico y social del lenguaje y dan cuenta de la toma de partido en el terreno polémico acerca del uso del lenguaje inclusivo. El análisis se centra en intervenciones orales y escritas pertenecientes a distintos géneros discursivos (periodí­sticos, polí­ticos, publicitarios, jurí­dicos y académicos) y producidas en los últimos años en la Argentina.
La expulsión de lo distinto. Disciplinamiento, higienización y enfermedad en "Lorenzita" de Manuel Atanasio Fuentes
Authors: Leonardo-Loayza Richard
Published: July 2022

El artí­culo analiza "Lorenzita" (1898) de Manuel Atanasio Fuentes, texto que puede ser considerado como la primera manifestación literaria que aborda el tema de la disidencia sexual en el Perú. Se intenta demostrar que en dicho texto se evidencia el rechazo de las élites dirigenciales respecto al cuerpo del homosexual, el cual es considerado como un cuerpo enfermo y abyecto. Esta postura está relacionada con las prácticas de disciplinamiento e higienización que esta elite desarrolla en contra de las identidades que se piensa no deben ser incluidas en los proyectos de modernización de la nación peruana a fines del siglo XIX.

Nicel verilerin t-testi ve ANOVA analizlerinden elde edilen bulgularına göre, fen bilimleri alanı seçiminde akademik not ortalaması düşük öğrencilerin dış yönlendirmelerden kaynaklı alan seçimi gerçekleştirdikleri, aile gelir düzeyleri düşük ve orta düzeyde olan öğrencilerin dış yönlendirme ve mesleki beklentilerinin üst düzeylerde olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Fen alanının tercihi sonucunda mesleki itibar, maddi getiri ve kariyer beklentisi gibi öğrencilerde ileriye yönelik beklentiler oluşmakta, kişisel yetkinliklerin bunları destekleyecek düzeyde olmaması durumlarında ise ilerleyen süreçlerde sıkıntılar yaşanabilmektedir. Alan tercihinin bireylerin gelecek yaşantılarını derinden etkileyeceği dikkate alınarak, ilköğretim birinci sınıftan itibaren öğrencilerin kişilik, sosyal, sanatsal ve akademik yetenekleri dikkate alınarak yönelimlerine paydaşlarla işbirliği içerisinde karar verilmesi faydalı olacaktır.

Currently, there is an increase in preand post-approval testing of medicinal products containing diosmin and hence a need to unify approaches to standardisation of this group of pharmaceuticals. Moreover, the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation lacks a monograph for these products.

The aim of the study was to determine an approach to standardisation of medicinal products containing diosmin.

Materials and methods: the study analysed scientific publications, as well as monographs of leading foreign pharmacopoeias. Experimental work was carried out using samples of diosmin-containing pharmaceuticals in the form of 500 and 1000 mg film-coated tablets produced by Russian and foreign manufacturers. The study involved high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection using an Agilent 1260 Infinity II liquid chromatography system with a diode array detector. The following reference standards were used: a diosmin RS, USP grade; a hesperidin CRS, Ph. Eur. Grade; and a diosmin CRS for testing chromatography system suitability for identification of impurities A, B, C, D, E, and F, Ph. Eur. grade.

Results: the authors reviewed quality requirements for pharmaceutical products containing diosmin and analysed experimental data obtained during preand post-approval testing of Russian and foreign medicines. The comparison of regulatory documents for registered diosmin-containing medicinal products showed a difference in approaches to assessing the contents of related substances and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Having analysed the literature, experimental data and regulatory requirements for standardisation of diosmin-containing pharmaceuticals, the authors recommended an approach to standardisation. According to the approach, concomitant flavonoids (hesperidin, isorchoifolin, linarin, and diosmetin) contributing to the pharmacological activity of a medicinal product are specified as part of Assay, and process-related by-products (impurities A and D) are specified and evaluated as part of Related substances tests.

Conclusion: the authors propose to evaluate the contents of concomitant flavonoids (hesperidin, isorchoifolin, linarin, diosmetin) under Assay and to specify impurities A and D, as well as single unidentified impurities and total amount of impurities under Related substances.

A Comparison Analysis between a Fixed and Multi-Step Size MPPTs for PV System under Variable Irradiance and Real Solar Curve
Authors: Y. AMARA
Published: July 2022

The control of the power electronic interfaces is essential to ensure the high efficiency of the photovoltaic system. In a DC stand-alone photovoltaic system, the boost converter is the most used. A regulator named maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is inserted to control the ON/OFF states.  Incremental conductance (In-Cond) is widely used to extract the maximum power point (MPP) from the Photovoltaic panel. It presents more efficiency and reliability compared to the conventional perturb and observes (P&O) technique. However, it presents power loss during the variations appearing during changes in weather conditions, due to the use of fixed step size. Accordingly, the present paper proposes a Multi-step size In-Cond to adapt the PV system to any change of the applied irradiance and to overcome the drawbacks of the existing In-Cond. Indeed, the present contributions introduced   two-steps sizes instead of one. The principle is to design a step size value when approaching the MPP and a large value when the operating point is far from the MPP. Simulations and comparisons through MATLAB/Simulink under various applied conditions show that the proposed technique outperforms the conventional Inc-Cond in terms of convergence speed, response time, stability, and performance.
The secession of Crimea from Ukraine: an international law perspective
Authors: Nankobe Vitalis Mbah
Published: July 2022

The secession of the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine in 2014 was one of the most talked-about issues by the media, politicians, and decision-makers. The secession worsened relations between the West and Russia thereby, threatening international peace and security. This paper looks at the secession of Crimea from Ukraine from an international law perspective. The goal of the paper is to examine whether Crimea’s secession from Ukraine was legal or illegal under international law. This paper argues that the secession of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and its subsequent incorporation into Russia is illegal under international law because Russia intervened in Crimea. On the one hand, the findings of this paper support my central thesis/ argument. On the other hand, the findings of this study revealed that proponents of Crimea’s secession from Ukraine like Russia argue that the secession of Crimea is legal under international law because of international laws on self –determination and because Crimea’s secession from Ukraine is similar to Kosovo’s secession from Serbia.
The role of Benue State Anti-Open Grazing and Ranches Establishment Law in enhancing peace-building in Benue State
Authors: Ugbudu Martin Iiorgbir
Published: July 2022

Perennial clashes between herdsmen and farmers in Nigeria have not only exacerbated inter-ethnic disharmony but have stunted food production and reinforced circles of poverty and hunger in the country. With the increasing number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the country, the clashes are becoming potentially dangerous as the Boko-Haram insurgency in North-Eastern Nigeria. Benue State is one of the States in the country that has suffered traumatic attacks from herdsmen with attendant high death toll and large-scale destruction of farmlands, environmental degradation, and pollution caused by open rearing and grazing of livestock. To stem farmers-herders’ clashes, the Benue State government enacted the ‘Open-Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law, 2017. This paper assesses the efficacy of the Anti-Open Grazing Law in enhancing peace-building in the State. Anchored on the theory of structural functionalism, the paper relies on documentary sources for the generation of data. The study found out that the law brought momentary peace to the State but it failed to realize its objectives as no ranches were established; and the herdsmen continued to use the border areas with the neighboring states to launch attacks and make incursions into the State to graze in opposition to the law.  Amongst other suggestions, the paper recommends that, states adjoining each other should synergize and enact similar law to ward off the threat of herdsmen; government; civil society groups and private investors should collaborate and set up ranches.
Ethnic identity as a social cleavage in Nigeria
Authors: Salihu Mustapha , Dayan Ferit , Ozden Kemal
Published: July 2022

Adopting Lipset and Rokkan’s submissions which suggest, social cleavages as resulting from conflict groups based on perceptions of association in opposition to other such groupings among large segments of a population, the study argued that ethnicity is the single most important embodiment of social cleavages in Nigeria. The study relies on secondary methods of data collection; further stressed that in the absence of formidable class structures, ethnicity plays a crucial role in defining individual identity in relation to groups, derivative of norms, and intermediaries between the society and the state. Building on the pedestals of the ethnic competition model, we further argued that central to the mobilization of ethnicity is the presence of opposing groups and ethnic elites. Beyond the potency for conflictual group relations, the ethnic competition model was adopted to account for the widespread predisposition to compete along ethnic lines in socially diverse societies like Nigeria. The study concludes by stating the very significance of ethnicity as a social capital in Nigeria, derives from its social acceptance and mobilizing properties.

Housing policy in the UK: the transformation of “The Right to Buy” social housing policy
Authors: Nankobe Vitalis Mbah
Published: July 2022

This paper examines how and why the Right to Buy (RTB) scheme changed drastically in the UK from 1980 to 2016 through the lens of Hall’s model of social learning and Sabatier’s advocacy coalition framework (ACF). This paper argues that changes were made to the Right to Buy scheme from 1980 to 2016 in order to increase the attractiveness of the policy. The study was conducted using a non-positivist approach to research. The findings of this study revealed that that the UK government’s decision to reduce the residency requirement from 3 years to 2 years in the RTB scheme in 1984 and to increase the percentage of discounts in the scheme constitutes a first-order policy change as described by Hall. On the other hand, the introduction of the new Right to Acquire in the RTB policy by the Labor party in 1997 constitutes a second-order change. While abolishing the RTB policy in Scotland by the Scottish National Party in July 2016 constitutes a third-order change. Furthermore, the results of this paper showed that the shared core beliefs in the virtues of private ownership between the Conservative party and the “New Labour” that came to power in 1997 in the UK can better be understood through the lens of Sabatier’s ACF.
