Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disorder with the second-highest incidence rate after diabetes. Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. Approximately 60% -80% of cases of hyperthyroidism are caused by Graves' disease, where women aged 20-50 are more dominant than men. Hyperthyroidism causes decreased heart rate and features an EKG pattern suggestive of sick sinus syndrome, including sinus bradycardia (heart rate <40 bpm), sinus pauses (sudden pauses in sinus nodes shorter than 2-3 seconds), and sinus arrest (sudden pauses in the sinus nodes). Sinus node longer than 2-3 seconds). This study aimed to determine the characteristics of patients with generalized anxiety disorder in hyperthyroidism accompanied by tonsillitis and thyroid eye disease with ECG features of sick sinus syndrome (SSS) in children and adults. This research uses the Systematic Review method using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses method, or PRISMA; this method is carried out systematically by following the correct research steps or protocols. Sources were taken from the PubMed site, and the Google Scholar site with journals published in 2017-2022 and then a screening was carried out to obtain 15,486 results. Based on the study's results, it was stated that journal clustering was carried out. The number of Scopus Q1 indexed journals was two journals, two journals Q2, and one journal indexed Sinta S1, so there were five extracted journals. It can be concluded that most journals discuss age and lifestyle related to the characteristics of the occurrence of panic disorders. The factors for hyperthyroidism are determined based on age and hyperthyroidism associated with panic disorders, an EKG picture of sick nodus dysfunction.

Published: September 2023

Historical and architectural preservation need to be focused on in the planning of cities. National development policies and agendas should inculcate historic preservation. Architectural conservation phenomena should involve government representatives and local communities, public service providers and the private sector to collaborate with each other. This study examines the cultural heritage, showing some limitations and significant advances. The study discusses the case of the Jain Swamber temple in Multan's inner city. The study describes the temple's architecture and architectural aspects to underline the importance of architectural heritage conservation and protection in Multan, Pakistan. Temples and monasteries are the only places where Jain architecture may be found. Jian Swamber temple was built in the dominant style of the time and place it was created. The Mru-Gurjara style is characterized by elaborate carving, particularly on columns, enormous and delicately carved rosettes on mandap ceilings, and a distinctive "flying arch" between columns with no structural purpose is simply artistic. The temple is made of diverse local colors of pink, buff, and brown sandstone, which lightens the style and makes it appealing. Policymakers and architects can devise different conservation concepts and tactics to preserve architecture. As a result, buildings may not lose or change their appearance considerably.

Authors: Kurniawidjaja L. Meily , Kumala Dewi Sofi
Published: September 2023

The study analyzed the relationship between the dependent variable (respiratory complaints) and the independent variables (worker characteristics, occupational characteristics, exposure intensity, and prevention of respiratory disorders) in paraquat sprayers in oil palm plantations in Kalimantan in 2022. The study design was a cross-sectional, analytical-descriptive quantitative study using a questionnaire instrument conducted online from August to October 2022. The total sample is 189 worker respondents and ten management respondents. The bivariate analysis was Chi-Square 2x2 for variables with p</=0.25 values, followed by multivariate logistic regression tests using the backward method. The study results found that 13.22% had respiratory complaints, 11.11% had complaints of cough, 3.17% coughed with phlegm, 2.11% had shortness of breath, and 1.05 had asthma. The results of the multivariate analysis show smoking habits have a risk of 4x (p 0.006), OR 4.12 (1.50-11.32)), permanent workers have a risk of 3x (p-value 0.022, OR 2.98 (1.16-7) .64)), and the use of inadequate PPE has a risk of 4.77x (p 0.002, OR 4.77 (1.78 - 12.80)). No significant relationship was found in the analysis of efforts to prevent respiratory disorders and respiratory complaints. This research implies that it can serve as a foundation for formulating better policies regarding the usage of paraquat in agriculture. It can also help raise awareness about the environmental impact of pesticide usage, such as paraquat.

In the e-commerce environment, how supply chain enterprises respond to surge demands has become an urgent issue to address. This article takes into consideration the overall interests of the supply chain system, aiming to maximize the supply chain profit. By applying system dynamics theory, an in-depth analysis is conducted on a two-tier supply chain consisting of a single manufacturer and a single retailer with controllable lead times. A system dynamics model is constructed using Vensim simulation software as the modeling platform, and simulation analyses are performed for both single and multiple surge demands. The findings reveal that in both single and multiple surge demand scenarios, implementing a controllable retailer lead time strategy leads to higher profits compared to normal lead time and random lead time strategies. Moreover, as the lead time is compressed, the profit exhibits an increasing-to-decreasing trend. Additionally, when both the manufacturer and retailer lead times are controllable, the profit of the entire supply chain surpasses that of the normal lead time and random lead time strategies.

Benzer-me no marafo: fundamentos da Educação, Pedagogias e Culturas em terreiros do interior gaúcho
Authors: Soares Rodrigo Lemos , Bussoletti Denise Marcos
Published: September 2023

Benzer-se no marafo implica em estar de acordo com as dinâmicas religiosas, além disso, que estamos cientes das sequências ritualistas que envolverão nossos corpos e produzirão subjetividades. O texto que segue é fruto de entrevistas semiestruturadas com sete dirigentes de terreiros do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. O objetivo é descrever as compreensões dos colaboradores, com relação aos conceitos de Educação, Pedagogias e Culturas, enquanto elementos implicados na tradição oral, entendida como prática educadora indispensável para problematização das dinâmicas educativas do sagrado. O texto está organizado em três subitens: Assentando saberes (os fundamentos); Pedagogias: ferramentas disciplinares para educar-ensinar (tecnologia da Educação); e Culturas: contextos que oportunizam diferentes leituras da Educação (indissociabilidade dos três conceitos). Esses conceitos (Educação, Pedagogias e Culturas) apontam, respectivamente: o princípio mais amplo do que sabemos, iremos ensinar e estratégias de aprendizagem recorridas. O segundo orientado pela práxis dialógica do saber ser e cuidar de si. E o terceiro, instituído pela gama de saberes que fundamentarão cada escolha, atitude, preparação e execução das práticas educativas. É na interação desses três que compreenderemos os processos de pedagogização que nos forjam e que sempre envolverão relações de poder e saber, que não se conectam apenas pelos meandros ideológicos, visto que os saberes estão subordinados às teias do poder, campos teóricos conceituais e estratégias didático-pedagógicas. O saber será sempre fruto de um complexo cultural, que poderá vir a ser pedagogizado por diferentes vieses, constituído de linhas de força que disputarão qual deverá entrar na ordem discursiva e qual não.

Authors: Dewi Truli Susatyo , Abadi Ferryal
Published: September 2023

The State Civil Apparatus (ASN) is required to have high performance. High Performance Work Systems (HPWS) can improve organizational and employee performance. This study aims to examine the effect of HPWS on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB); find out how far Psychological Wellbeing (PWB) affects Job Satisfaction; and exploring PWB, Organizational Commitment and Job Satisfaction as a mediator for the HPWS-OCB relationship with ASN in 42 Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. Determination of the sample by purposive sampling, with the criteria of an active civil servant who has worked for at least 1 year. Data collection used a survey, by distributing 33 questionnaires in the google-form via Whatsapp, to 185 respondents in June 2023. Data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The result is that HPWS has a significant positive effect on PWB and organizational commitment. The direct relationship between HPWS-OCB was positive but not significant, PWB was able to fully mediate positive HPWS-OCB. PWB has a significant positive effect on organizational commitment and will increase OCB. HPWS through PWB mediation and organizational commitment has a significant effect on job satisfaction, without HPWS mediation it has no significant effect on job satisfaction. Organizational commitment does not mediate the HPWS-OCB relationship and job satisfaction does not significantly affect OCB. The better government organizations implement HPWS in ASN management, the ASN's OCB will increase and ultimately lead to an increase in excellent service quality and organizational performance.
Study Of Deradicalization And Disengagement Of Former Terrorism Convicts As An Effort To Prevent Terrorism For National Resilience
Authors: I. K Anastasia
Published: September 2023

Terrorism is an issue of particular concern worldwide because of its global threat. The Indonesian government realizes that terrorism is an extraordinary event that requires special handling, hence, the appropriate countermeasure is needed. One of the ways to achieve it is by deradicalization and disengagement of former convicts in terrorism cases. This article aims to determine the role of deradicalization and disengagement methods for ex-convicts in terrorism cases as a strategy for dealing with criminal acts of terrorism in Indonesia. The research method used in this study was literature research, which was then analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Deradicalization programs require many approaches which depend on the individual’s characteristics in understanding the process of radicalization that occurs and is experienced by certain individuals or groups. So that by understanding the interpretation of the deradicalization polemic that is occurring, a new formulation is needed for the treatment of convict convicts. Effective methods of deradicalization and disengagement rehabilitation, continuous testing, periodic assessment, and strict supervision, carried out by the state in a comprehensive manner, can undoubtedly be a form of great support, specifically, for ex-convicts to not return and join their radical groups and leave violent ways.

Evaluating Error in Boltzmann Weighting
Authors: Wagen Corin
Published: September 2023

A technique that I’ve seen employed more and more in computational papers over the past few years is to calculate Boltzmann-weighted averages of some property over a conformational ensemble. This is potentially very useful because most complex molecules exist in a plethora of conformations, and so just considering the lowest energy conformer might be totally irrelevant.

Wiki modelling - Part 3
Authors: Page Roderic
Published: September 2023

I rather skirted around the notion of "taxonomic concepts" in the previous post, partly because it's easy to end up with trying to have a concept for each utterance every made by a taxonomist, and that doesn't seem, er, scalable. So, I have a more limited view of a taxonomic concept, namely a name attached to some data.

Interesting paper by Huss et al. in PLoS Biology entitled "A Gene Wiki for Community Annotation of Gene Function" (doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.0060175). Essentially, the paper describes using Wikipedia to create a comprehensive gene wiki:Given that the EOL project seems stalled (i.e., the current content hasn't changed), and the existing Wikipedia content is often much richer than EOL's, one has to ask why EOL doesn't give up it's current model and

Wikispecies is not a database

This post was prompted by Stephen Thorpe's post on TAXACOM about Wikispecies in which he wrote (in a thread discussing Roger Hyam's recent blog post) thatI beg to differ. Wikispecies runs on a database (the Mediawiki software uses a database to store the wiki), and Mediawiki can be thought of as a database of semi-structured text, but it lacks a lot of the functionality database users would expect.

Water Quality Monitoring and Alert System for Fish Farms using IoT and SMS Integration
Authors: N Flowvy , A Mary Jeya Shiniha
Published: September 2023

This project proposes a water quality monitoring and alert system for fish farms using IoT (Internet of Things) and SMS (Short Message Service) integration. The system aims to ensure optimal conditions for fish growth and health by continuously monitoring important water parameters. IoT devices equipped with water quality sensors are deployed throughout the fish farm to collect real-time data on temperature, pH level, humidity and water level. The collected data is transmitted to a cloud-based platform via an IoT network for processing and analysis. If any parameter exceeds the acceptable limits, the system triggers SMS alerts to fish farm operators, providing timely notifications of potential water quality issues.
Processing Of a Manufacturing Material Using Treated Bamboo
Authors: R Nikhil
Published: September 2023

Natural plant fibers have unequivocally contributed economic prosperity and sustainability in our daily lives. Particularly, bamboo fibers have been used for industrial applications as diverse as textiles, paper, and construction. Recent renewed interest in bamboo fiber (BF) is primarily targeted for the replacement or reduction in use of glass fiber from nonrenewable resources. In this project, various mechanical, chemical, and biological approaches for the preparation and separation of bamboo fibers from raw bamboo are summarized. In this work the mechanical properties of Bamboo Fiber Reinforced Composite (BFRC) were studied. The bamboo fibers were prepared through chemical treatment by CUSO4, Borax and Boric acid followed by physical milling method. Compression, tensile, hardness were showed improvement in mechanical properties. Hence this composite material can be used as a manufacturing material for production, manufacturing industries.
Fruit Disease Detection Using Image Processing
Authors: P. Deepthi , M. Dhinakaran , R. Yoganapriya
Published: September 2023

Nowadays, production of mango fruit decreases because of climatic conditions and environmental concerns like heavy rain, high humidity, reduction in soil nutrients, diversity of associated diseases and disorder problems. Typically, the detection of mango Plant diseases is done by naked eye observation, which provides less accuracy. Low productivity of mango fruit is due to the various diseases affecting mango plants which are not recognized by the farmers as they are illiterate. This paper holds a survey on fruit disease detection using image processing techniques. DIP is a fast and accurate technique for detection of diseases in fruits. Identification and classification of diseases of fruits are done through various algorithms. This paper is fruit disease identification and classification techniques used by different authors. Techniques include clustering and CBS, ANN and different classifiers-based classification of diseases. The main focus of our work is obtaining the analysis of different fruit diseases detection techniques and also provides an overview of these techniques. All the work is done using Python and supporting libraries.
