Essential Aspects of Gender-inclusive Computer Science Education
Authors: Sällvin Lisa , Öberg Lena-Maria , Mozelius Peter
Published: April 2024

Computer science is a higher education domain that still show a significant male dominance. Many research studies have highlighted the importance of diversity and gender balance in computer science related areas such as software engineering and system development. However, there is still a well-identified problem that university programmes and courses on computer science fail to attract the female audience. The objective of this study is to investigate the concept of gender-inclusive computer science (CS) education with the aim of broadening participation in CS courses and programs. This is conducted through a literature study, initially focusing on keywords and research areas, and subsequently searching into existing research. The research question that guided the study was: "What concepts can be found in literature to make computer science education more gender-inclusive?". Data were analysed thematically in a two-step analysis process inspired by the grounded theory methods of Open coding and Axial coding. Findings suggest that there is significant room for learning in this field, particularly from Critical CS education studies. The Open coding analysis showed that the findings can be categorised into eight main themes. In the Axial coding the themes were merged, refined, renamed, and centred around the main axial theme of 'Epistemological pluralism'. Other essential themes that all are related to the axial main theme were: 'Design and creativity', 'Bias awareness and ethics', 'Collaboration and communication', 'Self-regulated learning', 'Real-world applications', and 'Role models and mentorship'. The result of this study is presented through a visual model that illustrates essential aspects of inclusive computer science education. The paper also proposes various directions for future research.
Implementation Research with Expressive Arts Therapy (EAT) to Support the Newcomer Survivors of Gender-based Domestic Violence (GBDV) in Toronto
Authors: Alamgir Akm , Kong Christen
Published: April 2024

Context: Canada hosts thousands of newcomers from disadvantaged economies. Because of cultural non-essentialism and stigma, newcomer women in Canada embrace multi-level barriers to express their everyday discrimination and trauma experienced at home. Language creates another level of challenge. To understand the under-expressed domestic violence and the level of their trauma, this study added an arts-based evidence-generation technique followed by healing strategies by expressive arts modalities for this implementation research.  Methodology: This mixed-method implementation research adopted an outcome-harvesting approach. Peer researchers conducted a collaborative review of the literature to find the best arts practices for identifying violence (type, bases, frequency, and severity), sort out the best modalities of expressive arts therapy (EAT) for such a vulnerable population group, and efficient measures to evaluate the intervention findings. Intervention: After screening for eligible participants (not in a crisis state) and their preparedness, a series of twelve sessions of EAT were conducted by a registered therapist on a closed group of newcomer participants. In a pilot phase, therapies are completed with three linguistic newcomer women groups- Arabic, Farsi/Dari, and Bengali.  Three more groups (women speaking Tigrinya, newcomer women living in a shelter, and members of the LGBTQ2S+ communities) are selected for the next therapy sessions. The three sequential modalities were movement and discussion, storytelling and cognitive, and visual art and journaling.  The key procedures were psychoeducation, self-regulation, co-regulation, strength-based, cognitive/tactile, and collective painting. The peer researcher conducted a 1-to-1 telephone interview with every participant for wellness and vulnerability checks three months after the last session. A Focus Group Discussion (FGD) is done for every group six months after the last session to assess sustainability and emerging challenges. Call into action: After triangulation of quantitative, qualitative, and arts-based evaluation findings, the study team prepares a scalable culturally appropriate practice guideline, a resource navigation toolkit for the survivors, and a policy advocacy document for necessary legislative amendment.
Gender Through Media: Images of Contemporary Masculinity in Two Pakistani Movies
Authors: Noor Sara , Bhatt Shaheena , Kiran Nathaniel Shazia Rose
Published: April 2024

Gender and its media representations inform us about a specific culture. This research paper is an in-depth qualitative study of the representations of contemporary masculinity and queerness in the Pakistani media and popular culture. The paper analyzes two Pakistani movies: Sarmad Khoosat’s Zindagi Tamasha (Circus of Life) (2019) and Saim Sadiq’s Joyland (2022). The aim of the study is to explore the concept of masculinity in the Pakistani society and its media representations in popular culture and cinema. Masculinity is interlinked with physical appearance, social norms and religious values in the Pakistani society, whereas queer behaviour is generally condemned because of cultural stereotypes and religious injunctions. The study analyzes the impact of social customs and stereotypes on the perception of masculinity in the male characters with special focus on the queer inclinations manifested in their behaviour. The analysis of the two movies is conducted through contemporary masculinity theories to identify current manifestations of masculinity in the Pakistani society through the media representations. The findings of the research indicate that contemporary masculinities in the Pakistani society and media depict a wide range of variation from hegemonic masculinity to hybrid masculinity, inclusive masculinity and queer masculinity.
My Perfect Partner: Using Creative Methods to Address Gender Based Violence
Authors: Porter Janette , Standing Kay
Published: April 2024

Young people aged 16-24 are most at risk of relationship abuse and intimate partner violence, The UK definition of domestic violence includes incidences of abuse between people aged 16 or over, but young people below the age of 16 are also at risk of relationship abuse. Relationship education became compulsory in schools in England and Wales in September 2020. There is increasing recognition of the need for whole school approaches to prevent gender-based violence from happening in the first place, and for equipping schools to teach relationship education and to feel more confident supporting young people affected by gender-based violence (GBV). Drawing on our experiences of delivering relationship education in both mainstream and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) schools in England since 2012, this paper argues creative arts-based methods can be an effective tool in DA prevention and intervention. The paper explores young peoples views of healthy and unhealthy relationships, and ideals of the 'perfect partner', mediated through gender, body image and social media. We present material co-produced with young people in school, including art, drama, poetry and song. We discuss how creative methods are useful as both a research and prevention tool, and the social impact of research derived knowledge on both participants and the wider school community.
The Territorial Planning Process of the Fez-Meknes Region from a Gender Perspective: An Exploratory Study
Authors: El-Ouali Kaoutar , Magdoud Amina
Published: April 2024

Since 2015, Morocco has become aware of the imperative to integrate the gender dimension into the territorial planning process. In this context, the region, as a key actor in territorial management, is called upon to take into account the gender approach during the elaboration of its Regional Development Programme (RDP) as a planning tool in accordance with Law 111-14 concerning regions in Morocco. This article aims to understand how the gender approach is integrated by stakeholders in the process of drawing up the RDP by analysing the specific interests and needs of women and men. Analysis of the various phases of the RDP elaboration process from a gender perspective, including preparation, diagnosis, strategic vision, action planning, budgeting, and finally, the implementation and monitoring-evaluation phase, led us to adopt a qualitative methodology. This approach was implemented through the mobilization of a single case study focusing on the RDP of the Fes-Meknes region for the period 2016-2021. Consequently, we conducted semi-structured interviews with a sample of 15 key informants directly involved in the elaboration of the RDP at its different stages. The results indicate that little account is taken of the specific needs of women at all stages of the process, from preparation to implementation and monitoring-evaluation. This is due to several factors, including the scarcity of sex-disaggregated data at the regional level, the ambiguity of the new legal text on the concept of gender and its integration into the RDP, the ineffectiveness of organizational mechanisms related to gender issues, the lack of knowledge and tools for gender-sensitive planning, as well as the weakness of the 'gender culture' among members of the regional council (RC).

Hayvan ıslahının en önemli adımlardan biri de damızlık değeri en iyi hayvana üreme şansı verilmesidir. Aynı zamanda küçükbaş hayvancılıkta sürdürülebilirlik için büyüme, üreme ve süt verimi gibi ekonomik özellikler açısından daha verimli hayvanların seçilmesi gereklidir. Hayvanların verimlerine ilişkin damızlık değerlerini tahmin etmek için kullanılan yöntem ve modeller nispeten karmaşık yapıdadır. Çoğu kere yetiştiricilerin kendi başlarına uygulamaları güç olmaktadır. Bu nedenle iyi hayvanların seçimi için basit modellere ve pratik uygulamalara gereksinim duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, koyun yetiştiricilerinin en iyi kuzularını seçmeleri için pratik bir yöntemi tanıtmak ve bu şekilde kullanılacak damızlıkları belirlemektir. Bu hedefle İvesi kuzularına ait örnek bir veri seti ile “Damızlık Asistanı” adlı bilgisayar yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Veri seti 2016-2018 yılları arasında 49 sürü ve 12 410 baş kuzudan elde edilen doğum ağırlığı (DA), sütten kesim ağırlığı (SKA) ve bu iki özellikten hesaplanan günlük canlı ağırlık artışlarından (GCAA) oluşmaktadır. Damızlık Asistanı ile İvesi kuzularının büyüme özelliklerine önemli çevresel faktörlerin etkisi giderilmiş ve daha sonra kolay indeks yöntemi kullanılarak düzeltilmiş verilerle değerli hayvanlar tespit edilmiştir.

Navigating Jurisdictional Turbulence on Maritime and Civil Aviation Labour Claims in Nigeria: Federal High Court Versus National Industrial Court Controversie
Authors: Ojo Arowosegbe Hon. Justice Oluwakayode
Published: April 2024

Controversies have trailed the frontiers of the civil jurisdictions of the Federal High Court [FHC] and National Industrial Court [NIC] since the bifurcation of the FHC’s civil jurisdiction in favour of the NIC over labour matters by S. 254C of the Constitution, such that, both courts have been asserting rival jurisdictions on the same subject matter, with the consequence that, the purposes of conferring exclusive civil jurisdictions on both – specialization and efficiency – are being thwarted. While some of these controversies have been settled with the acceptance of the appellate decisions on them, the controversies regarding the frontiers of their mutually exclusive civil jurisdictions on admiralty/aviation labour causes have, however, remained intractable. With the recent Court of Appeal’s decision in Bains’ case [2021], confirming the NIC’s exclusive civil jurisdiction on merchant shipping/civil aviation labour matters, it was thought, the contest had been rested, but it has instead, become more ferocious, as legal writers have joined the fray, majority of who vehemently disagreed with the Court of Appeal’s decision.

Authors: Pilski Marek
Published: April 2024

Computer forensics is a key science and competency in meeting the growing risks of cybercrime, as well as for criminal investigation generally. In order to provide irrefutable evidence of a potential crime, a specialist in the incident response team (e.g. an IT forensics specialist) must secure the digital evidence in accordance with the correct procedure. There are no strict guidelines on how to do this. It is known that the authenticity and fidelity of data must be preserved. This article will collect good practices developed by specialists in the field of computer forensics. The process of securing the evidence material from a digital data sources for later analysis will be presented.

Selection of an algorithm for classifying data quoted on the Day Ahead Market of TGE S.A. in MATLAB and Simulink using Deep Learning Toolbox
Authors: Tchórzewski Jerzy , Mielcarz Tomasz
Published: April 2024

The article contains an analysis leading to the selection of an algorithm for classifying data listed on the Day-Ahead Market of TGE S.A. in MATLAB and Simulink using Deep Learning Toolbox. In this regard, an introduction to deep learning methods, classification methods, and classification algorithms is provided first. Particular attention was paid to the essence of three important deep learningmethods in the classification, i.e. the methods called: Stochastic Gradient Descent Momentum, Root Mean Square Prop and Adaptive Moment Estimation. Then, three architectures of artificial neural networks used in deep learning were characterized, i.e.: Deep Belief Network, Convolutional Neural Network and Recurrent Neural Network. Attention was paid to the selection parameters of algorithms for learning deep artificial neural networks that can be used in classification, such as: accuracy, information losses and learning time. Practical aspects of research experiments were also shown, including selected results of research conducted on volume and fixing 1 data quoted on the TGE S.A. Day-Ahead Market. After analyzing the obtained test results for the hourly system, it was noted that the least suitable algorithm for classification purposes was the Stochastic Gradient Descent Momentum algorithm, which in each case had worse results than the other two algorithms, i.e. the Adaptive Moment Estimation algorithm and the Root Mean algorithm Square Prop. However, the best algorithm turned out to be the Adaptive Moment Estimation algorithm, which obtained the highest accuracy, which was at a level comparable to the Root Mean Square Prop algorithm, with the latter algorithm having larger losses.

Представлена информация по выполнению программы элиминации кори в Европейском регионе ВОЗ и Республике Беларусь. Показано, что, несмотря на отсутствие эндемичной циркуляции вируса кори в Республике Беларусь, периодически регистрируются подъемы заболеваемости, связанные с завозом вируса на территорию страны, что требует проведения постоянного эпидемиологического слежения за этой инфекцией. Выполнен анализ эпидемиологической ситуации по кори в Республике Беларусь в январе – сентябре 2023 г. (49 случаев) на основании данных лабораторной диагностики и молекулярно-эпидемиологического мониторинга. Установлено, что 15 из 49 случаев являлись завозными. На долю лиц старше 20 лет пришлось 85,7% случаев. Отсутствие регистрации кори среди детей 1–9 лет подтверждает высокий охват плановой вакцинацией против кори детей согласно Национальному календарю прививок (в 12 месяцев и 6 лет). Несмотря на то, что молекулярно-эпидемиологический мониторинг занимает важное место в системе эпидемиологического надзора, в 2023 г. в связи с завозами на территорию Республики Беларусь преимущественно одного генетического варианта вируса кори (D8) ведущая роль в расшифровке его цепочек передачи принадлежала эпидемиологическим данным. После проведенных в 2019–2022 гг. мероприятий по подчищающей иммунизации против этой инфекции целесообразно проведение исследований популяционного иммунитета для прогнозирования дальнейшей эпидемиологической ситуации по кори в стране.

Information on the implementation of the measles elimination program in the WHO European Region and the Republic of Belarus is provided. It has been shown that despite the absence of endemic circulation of the measles virus in the Republic of Belarus, increases in incidence associated with the importation of the virus into the country are periodically recorded, which requires constant surveillance for this infection. An analysis of the epidemiological situation of measles in the Republic of Belarus in January – September 2023 (49 cases) was performed based on laboratory diagnostic data and data of molecular epidemiological monitoring. It was established that 15 out of 49 cases were imported. Persons over 20 years of age accounted for 85.7% of cases. The lack of registration of measles among children 1–9 years old confirms the high coverage of routine vaccination against measles in children according to the National Vaccination Calendar (at 12 months and 6 years). Despite the fact that molecular epidemiological monitoring occupies an important place in the surveillance system, in 2023, due to the importation of predominantly one genetic variant of the measles virus (D8) into the Republic of Belarus, the leading role in deciphering its transmission chains belonged to epidemiological data. After carried out in 2019–2022 measures for clean-up immunization against this infection, it is advisable to conduct studies of population immunity in order to predict the further epidemiological situation of measles in the country.

Privacy as a Kantian-Misesian a priori condition for the preservation of property rights
Authors: Togni Andrea
Published: April 2024

This article analyzes the relation between the philosophical notion of privacy, its practical implementation in the domain of cryptocurrencies, and the Western regulatory financial environment. A libertarian (anarchocapitalist, agorist) perspective is adopted. The main question concerns what kind of notion privacy is. Utilitarianism, privacy as a natural right, and privacy as a Kantian-Misesian a priori condition for the preservation of property rights are analyzed. First, it is shown that utilitarian approaches do not work because they let the government define privacy, thus corrupting its practical implementation. The cases of Tornado Cash and of Privacy Pools, two privacy-preserving cryptocurrency protocols, are discussed to prove the point. Second, the theory of privacy as a natural right is discarded because it is not compatible with libertarian reductionism. Third, the main proposal of this article is to define privacy as a Kantian-Misesian a priori condition for the preservation of property. This proposal is coherent with libertarian reductionism because privacy is not understood as a natural right; moreover, it is superior to utilitarianism because the a priori status of privacy protects it from the arbitrary wishes of politicians and bureaucrats. The origin of a priori notions is not empirical, but their use is: privacy cannot but impact how the acting man protects real-world property and interacts with fellow human beings.

Published: April 2024

An alternative material for fuel cladding was required to prevent oxidation caused by interacting with steam, leading to improvement in core integrity. This study analyzes reactor physics parameters of various cladding material candidates for Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) such as SS-304 austenitic stainless steel, FeCrAl alloy, APMT alloy, and silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic, as candidate Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF). The neutronic parameters such as infinite multiplication factor (k-inf), and neutron spectrum, while temperature reactivity coefficient related to fuel temperature (DTC) and moderator temperature (MTC) is also considered, followed by a void coefficient of reactivity (VCR) of each candidate material were then compared with ZIRLO as a standard cladding material of AP1000. k-inf calculated by SRAC2006 is also compared to MCNP for various fuel assembly types. At the beginning of cycle (BOC), the 2.35% UO2 using SiC gives a higher kinf than ZIRLO at 937 pcm, while 4.45% UO2 with 88 IFBA & 9 PYREX at 796 pcm. FeCrAl, APMT, and SS-304 cladding gave a smaller k-inf compared to ZIRLO in the range of 11000-14000 pcm at 2.35% UO2 fuel assembly. The values of DTC, MTC, and VCR were still negative throughout the reactor operation which indicates that the inherent safety feature of alternative cladding was possible for this type of fuel assembly, especially for iron-based cladding material followed by an increase in fuel enrichment.

Published: April 2024

The mechanized harvesting of mulberry is important for its production. In the process of harvesting, it is considered not only the mechanical damage of mulberry fruit but also its harvesting efficiency. It is very important to improve the vibration harvesting efficiency of mulberry. In this study, modal analysis of mulberry trees and harmonic response analysis of branches were carried out to determine the harvesting frequency of the branch's vibration and other parameters. The effects of excitation frequency and vibration position on the triaxial acceleration of the mulberry branch at different positions were analyzed by vibration test. Then the triaxial acceleration of branches at different positions was analyzed. The conditions of the mulberry fruit shedding were obtained through theoretical analysis. Through the 20-order modal analysis of mulberry, it is concluded that a better vibration effect can be achieved when the vibration frequency is controlled at 4-16 Hz. According to the harmonic response analysis, the best excitation frequencies are 5-6 Hz, 10-13 Hz, and 14-16 Hz. The harmonic response analysis of fruit branches was carried out, and the stress of fruit stalks at 5 Hz, 10 Hz, and 15 Hz were analyzed. The result shows that the maximum stress is 2.9252×107 Pa, the excitation position is the first-order branch, and the excitation frequency is 15 Hz. The frequencies obtained from modal analysis and harmonious response analysis were used to conduct experiments. When the excitation frequency was 15 Hz, the triaxial accelerations aX, aY, and aZ were 2.12 g, 4.16 g, and 3.99 g, respectively, which were more conducive to the shedding of mulberry fruits.

Aim – to analyze the effect of carotid stenosis of varying severity in combination with other factors on the risks of primary and recurrent ischemic stroke, using methods of mathematical regression analysis. Material and methods. The study included 606 patients, examined by a neurologist, contrast-enhanced CT scan of the brain, ultrasound of the vessels of the head and neck, other tests and instrumental studies. The degree of carotid stenosis was assessed using the NASCET method (stenosis 0-49%, 50-69%, 70% or more). For the purpose of mathematical analysis, patients were divided into 3 comparison groups: those without a history of stroke, patients with a single stroke, and a group of patients with two or more ischemic strokes. In patients with a history of stroke, the size of the ischemic lesion was assessed according to CT data, the severity of neurological deficit according to the NIHSS scale and the recovery degree, and the functional outcome of ischemic stroke (Rankin scale, Rivermead index). The study used logistic regression analysis to assess the relationship between the dependent variable (presence of primary or recurrent stroke) and a set of predictors, which were a number of clinical and instrumental indicators. Results. The presence of carotid stenosis of 50-69%, when combined with pathology of the cardiovascular system, acts as a factor that significantly increases the risk of developing primary ischemic stroke. Stenosis exceeding 70% has a high level of significance in the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke, this fact should be taken into account for secondary prevention of stroke. Conclusion. A preliminary assessment and analysis of carotid stenosis degree and other comorbid factors co-influencing the risks of primary and recurrent ischemic stroke has an undoubted potential. This approach can reduce the risk of recurrent vascular accidents and help organizing a personalized approach to surgical treatment of patients.

Published: April 2024

Using numerical simulation tools, this work systematically investigates the impact of bulk defects in the drift layer on GaN-based trench metal–insulator–semiconductor barrier-controlled Schottky rectifiers. Investigations show that in forward conduction, the acceptor-type defects significantly increase the on-resistance (R
on.sp). When the device is in reverse blocking mode, donor-type defects tend to weaken the charge-coupling effect, leading to early breakdown of the device, while acceptor-type defects show the opposite feature. In addition, our report identifies that the reverse blocking effect is significantly impacted when the defects are located in the region with maximum electric field magnitude. We also find that the acceptor-type traps generate a remarkable charging/discharging effect, which will destabilize the dynamic forward conduction process. Hence, we numerically prove that bulk defects should be avoided in actual power diodes.

Purpose: This study investigates the role of job satisfaction in the relationship between talent management dimensions and turnover intention among private secondary school teachers in Langtang North LGA in the plateau state.
Research Methodology: The study used a survey to collect data from a population of 628 teachers. The sample size of 244 was determined using the Taro Yamane formula. The data were collected using questionnaires. Data were analyzed using multiple regression with the aid of partial least squares structural equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 3.0 to evaluate the hypothesized relationships.
Results: The results reveal a significant relationship between talent attraction and turnover intention. Second, there is no relationship between talent development and turnover intention, a negative relationship between talent retention and turnover intention, and a positive relationship between talent attraction and job satisfaction. Talent development and retention both had a negative relationship with  job satisfaction, and job satisfaction did not moderate the relationship between talent management dimensions and turnover intention.
Limitations: The study was limited to 244 teachers in the Langtang North Local Government Area. This limited the involvement of other categories of teachers in the study.
Contribution: This study provides valuable insights to policymakers in the educational sector to create a holistic attraction and selection policy that will ensure that teachers with higher retention potentials are employed to reduce the cost associated with teachers’ turnover and to understand the factors that cause employee turnover and implement effective policies and regulations that can enhance the retention of teachers.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) merupakan virus yang memiliki selubung single stranded Ribonucleic Acid (ss-RNA) yang menjadi penyebab penyakit Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Laring merupakan perbatasan saluran pernapasan dan saluran pencernaan sehingga mudah terkena infeksi COVID-19. Gangguan pada laring juga dapat terjadi akibat tindakan intubasi atau trakeostomi pada kasus COVID-19 derajat berat. Tujuan tinjauan pustaka ini adalah mempelajari mekanisme terjadinya infeksi COVID-19 pada laring baik infeksi secara langsung maupun akibat tindakan intubasi atau trakeostomi. Pencarian dilakukan melalui PubMed dan google scholar dengan kata kunci “COVID-19”, “laring”, “intubasi”, dan “komplikasi pada laring”. Hasil tinjauan Pustaka menunjukkan bahwa laring memiliki reseptor terhadap trans-membrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) dan angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). Infeksi laring terjadi ketika ACE2 berikatan pada permukaan luminal epitel saluran napas sehingga dapat menyebabkan gejala edema laring, sesak napas, stridor, dan disfonia. Penatalaksanaan pada kasus laring disesuaikan dengan etiologi dan manifestasi yang dihasilkan. Kesimpulan yang dapat diambil adalah kasus COVID-19 memang jarang bermanifestasi pada laring, namun komplikasi pada laring dan setelah penggunaan post-intubasi sangat mungkin terjadi. Oleh karena itu, komplikasi COVID-19 terhadap laring tetap harus dipantau.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan masyarakat global yang diperkirakan memiliki progresivitas penyakit parah dan memerlukan rawat inap. Terapi farmakologik berupa antivirus yang dianjurkan dalam buku panduan tatalaksana COVID-19 di Indonesia adalah remdesivir dan favipiravir. Tujuan terapi farmakologik adalah untuk memperbaiki klinis pasien yang dirawat inap yang keberhasilannya dapat diukur melalui durasi atau lama rawat inap. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana perbandingan antara pemberian terapi remdesivir dan favipiravir terhadap lama rawat inap pasien COVID-19. Desain penelitian adalah cross-sectional dengan sampel 42 rekam medis pasien didiagnosis COVID-19 yang dirawat inap selama periode Mei sampai dengan November 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara pemberian remdesivir dan favipiravir terhadap lama rawat inap pasien COVID-19 (p<0,05). Rerata lama hari rawat inap pasien COVID yang menerima terapi favipiravir lebih singkat yaitu 7,33 ± 1,983 (mean ± SD) dibandingkan remdesivir yaitu 9,29 ± 1,927 (mean ± SD). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah favipiravir lebih efektif dibandingkan remdesivir dalam mengurangi lama rawat inap pasien COVID-19 yang sesuai dengan kriteria pada penelitian ini.

Penurunan kognitif akibat usia berdampak besar bagi kehidupan sehari-hari lansia dan peningkatan risiko kematiannya, serta menimbulkan beban yang besar bagi masyarakat. Domain kognitif merupakan bagian dari jaras penghidu, sehingga fungsi penghidu dapat berhubungan dengan fungsi kognitif. Penelitian analitik observasional dengan rancang bangun potong lintang ini dilakukan pada bulan Mei - Juni 2023 yang bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara fungsi penghidu dan fungsi kognitif pada lansia. Total sampling digunakan dalam pemilihan sampel dan uji korelasi Spearman dalam menganalisis hubungan. Total sampel sebanyak 89 orang lansia diperoleh dari empat panti werda di Kota Surabaya. Mayoritas lansia dalam penelitian ini adalah perempuan (65,17%) dan berusia 60-74 tahun (47,19%). Lebih dari separuh lansia mengalami anosmia (55,06%) dan beberapa mengalami hiposmia (17,98%). Sebagian besar lansia tidak mengalami gangguan fungsi kognitif (64,04%) dan pada sebagian kecil didapatkan gangguan fungsi kognitif berat (3,37%). Penelitian ini juga menemukan hubungan yang bermakna antara fungsi penghidu dan fungsi kognitif pada lansia (p = 0,000) dengan kekuatan hubungan bersifat sedang dan arah hubungan bernilai positif (r = 0,466) yang menyimpulkan semakin terganggu fungsi penghidu lansia, maka semakin tinggi risiko lansia untuk mengalami gangguan fungsi kognitif sebesar 46,6%.
