Aim. To analyze the correlation between genotype and phenotype in patients with biventricular arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC).

Methods. The clinical phenotype of 9 unrelated probands (89 % men, median age 35 [34; 37]) with biventricular ARVC were observed. The clinical and instrumental examination included a 12-lead ECG, 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring, transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with late gadolinium enhancement. Biventricular variant of ARVC was diagnosed according to the 2020 Padua criteria for both right and left ventricles involvement. High-throughput sequencing was utilized to search for mutations in genes linked to the onset of cardiomyopathies and other inherited rhythm disorders. Statistical analysis procedures were performed using the STATISTICA-12 program.

Results. In all patients with biventricular ARVC, according to late gadolinium enchansment magnetic resonance imaging, left ventricular involvement of varying degrees was detected, characterized by fibrous or fibrofatty infiltration of the myocardium, as well as regional or global systolic dysfunction. Genotyping in 9 patients with biventricular ARVC revealed 10 variants of the nucleotide sequence of III-V classes of pathogenicity according to the criteria of ACMG (2015) in 4 genes associated with ARVC (PKP2, DSP, DSC2, DSG2). Of these, 7 variants belonged to classes IV and V (PKP2 - 4 mutations, DSP - 2 mutations, DSG2 - 1 mutation); 3 nucleotide substitutions were variants with uncertain significance (VUS, class III) - 2 in DSC2 gene and 1 in DSP gene. A combination of nucleotide variants in two genes (DSP and DSC2) was detected in 1 patient. The findings highlight that mutations in DSP gene were associated with more severe systolic dysfunction and left ventricle dilation compared to carriers of mutations in PKP2 gene. In patients with variants of class III pathogenicity in DSC2 gene the most adverse clinical course of the disease was observed with the early onset of the first sustained ventricular tachycardia and the development of severe dysfunction and dilation of both ventricles requiring heart transplantation in comparison with carriers of mutations in other genes.

Conclusion. The results obtained in a cohort of patients with biventricular ARVC demonstrate a specific correlation between genotype and clinical course and disease severity as well.
Leukocyte reaction of peripheral blood in secondary chronic carrageenan inflammation after administration of the thrombin blocker dabigatran etexilate
Authors: Shevchenko V.O.
Published: January 2024

The experimental study was conducted on 72 adult male WAG laboratory rats weighing 180–200 g. The study was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of Directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes. Intact rats served as a control for the natural course of inflammation, and rats receiving dabigatran etexilate without further induction of chronic inflammation served as a control for inflammation in the setting of dabigatran etexilate administration. The model of inflammation was carrageenan secondary chronic aseptic inflammation, which was induced by intramuscular injection of 10 mg λ-carrageenan (Sigma, USA) dissolved in 1 ml of isotonic sodium chloride solution into the right thigh. Dabigatran etexilate was administered intragastrically through a gavage tube at a dose of 15 mg/kg/day dissolved in 1 ml of isotonic sodium chloride solution daily throughout the experiment, which lasted 28 days. The results of the study have shown that the use of a thrombin blocker dabigatran etexilate, compared with the natural course of secondary chronic carrageenan inflammation, promotes the involvement of leukocytes on the 14th day, which leads to greater elimination of phlogogen during this period, and a decrease in the number of leukocytes on the 21st and 28th days during the period of chronic inflammation, which indicates a decrease in the need for leukocytes in these periods. The tendency to increase the number of segmented neutrophils by 1.3 times on the 28th day of inflammation after administration of dabigatran etexilate, compared with the natural course of inflammation, indicates a less pronounced emigration of leukocytes to the inflammatory focus due to a decrease in the intensity of chronic inflammation. A decrease in the number of banded neutrophils in the peripheral blood on the 28th day may be associated with a decrease in their emigration to the inflammatory focus. A significant decrease in the number of monocytes by 1.62 times (p<0.01) on the 28th day indicates that the use of the thrombin blocker dabigatran etexilate reduces leukocyte adhesion and reduces the chronicity of inflammation.

Herausforderungen der Studieneingangsphase aus fachdidaktischer Perspektive: das Fachverständnis irritieren
Authors: Lüsebrink Ilka
Published: January 2024

Studienanfänger:innen werden in der Fachdidaktik mit einem ihnen sehr vertrauten Gegenstand konfrontiert: mit schulischem Unterricht. Nach mindestens zwölf Schuljahren verfügen sie zwar nicht unbedingt über explizites fachdidaktisches Wissen, aber über umfangreiche Erfahrungen mit Fachunterricht. Die daraus resultierenden eher impliziten Einstellungen und Überzeugungen münden in ein Fachverständnis, das erstens die Basis für das im Studium anzueignende fachdidaktische Wissen bildet und zweitens ein zentrales Element der individuellen Professionalisierung darstellt. Dementsprechend kann das biographisch verankerte Fachverständnis in der Studieneingangsphase nicht ignoriert werden, sondern muss als Ausgangspunkt für die fachdidaktische Lehre dienen. Folgt man dem Ansatz der transformatorischen Bildungstheorie, dann erfordern fachdidaktische Bildungsprozesse die Irritation des vorliegenden Fachverständnisses. Inwiefern z.B. Fallarbeit einen Beitrag hierzu leisten kann, hängt von deren konkreter Ausgestaltung ab, die sich nicht auf die kognitive Ebene beschränken darf, sondern der Bedeutung von Emotionen für Einstellungsänderungen Beachtung schenken muss.

Authors: Košinár Julia
Published: January 2024

Die Studieneingangsphase ist als eigenständige berufsbiografische Phase zu betrachten. Je nach individueller Anschlussbedeutung für die Akteur:innen, aber auch vor dem Hintergrund ihrer Schul- und Berufsbiografie vollzieht sich diese Einmündung ganz unterschiedlich. Im SNF geförderten Projekt „Professionalisierungsverläufe angehender Primarlehrpersonen in den Berufspraktischen Studien“ (PH FHNW, 2017-2020) wird das subjektive Erleben von 24 Studierenden des Primarschullehramts über Interviews an drei Zeitpunkten erhoben und mit der Dokumentarischen Methode analysiert. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf der Bedeutung, die sie dem Studium zuweisen und auf ihren ersten Praktikumserfahrungen. Der Studieneintritt erweist sich als konjunktives, phasenspezifisches Entwicklungsproblem, dem habituell begegnet wird. In Form einer Typologie wird die Differenz der studentischen Orientierungen und ihres Umgangs mit den sich konstituierenden Anforderungen und den Akteur:innen im Schulfeld dargelegt. Die Befunde werden fallbezogen veranschaulicht und vor dem Hintergrund berufsbiografischer Professionalisierungstheorien interpretiert. Aus der Rekonstruktion ihrer retrospektiven Betrachtungen ihrer Schulzeit und ihren Praktikumserzählungen lässt sich ableiten, dass die im Schülerhabitus inkorporierten Handlungsschemata z. B. im Umgang mit Leistungserwartungen und Autoritäten, auch im 1. Studienjahr handlungsleitend werden. Ferner zeigt sich, dass das 1. Praktikum Differenzerfahrungen bereithält, die das schulbiografisch angelegte Bild von Schule, Lehrpersonen und Schüler:innen irritieren kann. Die Relevanz biografischer Reflexion zu Studienbeginn wird auf Basis dieser Befunde entfaltet. (DIPF/Orig.)

Implementation of Model Based Testing for Testing Kawn Subscriptions Manager Application
Authors: Sinaga Arnaldo Marulitua , Hutapea Mikhael
Published: January 2024

This research focuses on the Kawn Subscriptions Manager app, which was developed to help Food and Beverage (F&B) businesses manage customer subscriptions. Currently, the Kawn Subscriptions Manager application does not have a standardized test suite that has been validated. Therefore, in this research, Model-Based Testing (MBT) is applied in testing the Kawn Subscriptions Manager application as a testing method to produce a specific and technical test suite. MBT is a testing method based on the behavioral model of the system being tested. Then, to measure the adequacy of test cases generated by MBT, mutation testing is used. The model is created using the GraphWalker tool and testing is done automatically using Selenium and testNG in the Eclipse IDE text editor. From the results of the study, it is known that MBT testing generates test cases from the behavior model of the function being tested. Testing with MBT shows that no failures were found in the tested functions. Then the average mutation score is 72.18% which indicates that the test cases generated by MBT are adequate or in the medium category. However, it is important to note that while MBT was successful in generating test cases that examined the application's behavior, it was found that the method was unable to detect failures caused by mutants that did not significantly affect the application's behavior. This finding suggests that while MBT can be an effective tool for testing key functions, additional methods are needed to identify failures that may result from minor or insignificant changes to the application code.

Non-Overlapping Leave Future Out Validation (NOLFO): Implications for Graduation Prediction
Authors: Esbenshade Lief , Vitale Jon , Baker Ryan Shaun
Published: January 2024

In a number of settings risk prediction models are being used to predict distal future outcomes for individuals, including high school risk prediction. We propose a new method, non-overlapping-leave-future-out (NOLFO) validation, to be used in settings with long delays between feature and outcome observa-tion and where there are overlapping cohorts. Using NOLFO validation prevents temporal information leakage between the training and test sets. We apply this method to high school risk prediction, using data from a large-scale platform, and find that models are able to maintain their accuracy over long periods of time when tested on fully unseen data in most cases. These findings imply that organizations may be able to reduce the frequency of model re-training without sacrificing accuracy. In contexts such as long-term at-risk prediction with overlapping cohorts and long delays between feature and outcome observa-tion, NOLFO is an important tool for ensuring that estimated model accuracy is representative of what can be expected in implementation. Manuscript currently under review.
A QUICK GLANCE: THE UGLY TRUTH OF RADIO MIGRATION IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Ibrahim Intan Soliha , Sulaiman NorHissam , Lee Feria , Abdul Wahab Juliana
Published: January 2024

With the advent of television, radio lost its dominant position in many countries due to globalisation and convergence, leading to the rise of digitalisation. However, digitalisation has overshadowed traditional analogue technology. Instead of coexisting, analogue and digital technologies are now in direct competition, with digital alternatives such as podcasts and online radio posing significant challenges to analogue technology. As a result, the radio industry is currently facing severe problems to stay relevant. We conducted a study examining political economy influencing radio migration in Malaysia along with its relationship to government actions and plans. Our research reveals that the political economy perspective strongly impacts radio migration in the country. To ensure a successful radio migration, we propose the implementation of a neo-liberal perspective within Malaysia's broadcasting sector.

Published: January 2024

Inheritance collection by the Baitulmal Property Division, Selangor Islamic Religious Council (MAIS) experienced a decline and reduction in the five (5) year period from 2017 to 2021. Data obtained from MAIS shows that the collection or income of MAIS inheritance decreased by close to 50% from RM 4,316,241.87 in in 2017 to RM 2,116,504.56 in 2021. A significant decrease was recorded from 2019 until 2021 following the COVID-19 pandemic that hit the country causing the redeemer to be unable to pay the monthly installments of redemption consistently as agreed by both parties (Baitulmal & redeemer ). Therefore, the purpose of writing this paper is to analyze the problems faced by heirs in the state of Selangor. Qualitative research design with a case study approach using a semi-structured interview instrument with five (5) MAIS heirs in the state of Selangor. Purposive sampling method and interview data were analyzed with content analysis. The findings of the study found that the main problems of the redeemer's failure to pay the monthly installments of redemption consistently are (i) Pandemic of COVID-19, (ii) Flood disaster, (iii) Cost of living and (iv) Financial constraints. Therefore, Baitulmal MAIS is always trying to find effective methods to complete the redemption process more effectively, quickly and user-friendly and then give full ownership rights to the redeemer.

Published: January 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic that has hit the world since the beginning of 2020 has caused significant instability in the global economic sector. One aspect that has been drastically affected is the labour market, with an unprecedented increase in unemployment. In addition, the implications of this pandemic can also be identified through the producer price index, with unpredictable price fluctuations in spending. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between the labor market, unemployment and the producer price index before, during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. This study will use quantitative data collection and analysis methods that involve the collection of secondary data from reliable sources such as the Malaysian Open Data Portal, Bank Negara Malaysia and the Department of Statistics Malaysia. The data will include key indicators such as total unemployment, the labor market in different industries, wages, the unemployment rate, as well as the producer price index over the relevant time period since the start of the pandemic. The study found that the enforcement of the MCO has affected the labor market, the amount of unemployment and the Producer Price Index (IHPR). Changes in the IHPR depend on the type of industry. The results of this study are expected to provide a deeper understanding of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia on the labor market, unemployment and the producer price index.

Published: January 2024

The use of wallets is increasing rapidly, especially during the covid-19 pandemic due to movement control orders. E-wallets is a favourable choice of e-money transfer among younger and tech-savvy people and those who are at an advanced level in their lives influenced by the internet. Current research trends on e-wallet adoption emphasized on the customer side but dearth of academic work on merchant’s perspective. From literature, there is no thorough framework for e-wallet adoption. It is also worthy to highlight that the adoption rate amongst small merchants especially among Muslims is still low compared to numbers of established small business. The factors that influence the use of e-wallets among merchant users may differ from customer users due to the different purposes of using e-wallets. Furthermore, there is another religious factor, which is related to Islamic principles that are exclusively for Muslims where this might influence Muslim’s decision in adopting e-wallet. Thus, it is essential to address this issue since small-sized Muslim merchants representing the majority businesses in Malaysia. Their adoption of e-wallets will contribute to the world aim in achieving a cashless society. This study proposes a conceptual framework grounded from Technology Acceptance Model with extensions of other variables such as trust, technology efficacy, government support, and structural assurance as to explore the factors that influence merchants e-wallet adoption. This paper has made an initial effort to propose a comprehensive theoretical framework as a basis for a future research agenda. This also calls for empirical testing on the suggested variables in the context of small-sized Muslim merchants.

D’une socialité populaire à l’interprétation du monde. Une ethnographie de trois clubs de twirling bâton en Suisse romande sous l’angle de l’engagement collectif
Authors:   , Shia Manh Ly
Published: January 2024

Institutions based on organized leisure, such as sports clubs, which have a strong presence in Switzerland, deserve attention, particularly from the perspective of producing affirmative social identities. Indeed, commitment in associations is a topical issue in Switzerland, and sheds light on the relationship between civil society and institutions. The aim of this doctoral thesis is to reflect on associative life and on the way in which a sporting activity that is popular and has little resonance, in this case baton twirling, can be the space-time of a production of the political, i.e. the place of an experience understood as the deployment of a reflexivity and a capacity to interpret the world. Through their sociability and the activities they offer, sports clubs with popular components are sites of political experience, understood as the acquisition of a point of view on the world, its injustices and certain forms of denial of recognition. The epistemology adopted for this study moves away from a hegemonic sociology. It tends to avoid an overhanging view of the actresses studied, in favor of an understanding of the experiences and meanings they give to their actions. In this sense, it situates itself in a pragmatist perspective. Through long-term immersion, the "double" ethnography of the popular and the political enables us to account for gestures and words that reveal a way of seeing the world. Analyzing sociality, i.e. the experiences, relationships with the surrounding world and activities specific to the clubs selected through an empirical survey (35 observations, 16 group interviews, 20 individual interviews and documentary analyses) enables us to understand what associative life produces in terms of critical perception of how society works, of participation and of recognition. The clubs chosen for this study are three baton twirling clubs in French-speaking Switzerland, in which mainly women and girls are involved. Not only does the population concerned occupy a minority position in the social arena, but the activity of baton twirling is also devalued in sporting terms. Thus, the main characteristic of such a research field is that it is "small", in terms of its popular and feminine components (interactions, choreography, costumes...), but also in terms of its lesser resources (material or financial). The aim of this work is therefore to shed light on associative, popular and political life from an "ordinary", everyday experience, that is, from a field neglected by society and, in this case, by researchers.
Upaya Hakim dalam Menerapkan Cita Keadilan pada Kasus Kedudukan Anak Perempuan sebagai Penghalang Kewarisan Saudara di Peradilan Agama
Authors: Noor Mukhlisin , Ishaq Ishaq , Nurcahyono Moh. Lutfi , Abbas Rafid
Published: January 2024

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya kekaburan norma dalam KHI pada Pasal 181 dan Pasal 182 tentang kedudukan anak perempuan sebagai penghalang kewarisan saudara almarhum. Kekaburan norma ini telah menuntut para hakim Peradilan Agama untuk melakukan upaya agar penerapan cita keadilan dalam putusannya menjadi lebih maksimal. Masalah ini menarik karena putusan dan upaya yang dilakukan para Hakim kontradiktif dan berdampak pada penerapan cita keadilan perkara waris. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif (library research) dengan pendekatan normatif-filosofis. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan 1) bahwa upaya hakim Peradilan Agama dalam menerapkan cita keadilan pada kasus kedudukan anak perempuan sebagai penghalang kewarisan saudara almarhum dilakukan dengan dua hal. Pertama dengan menafsirkan kekaburan makna anak pada Pasal 181 dan Pasal 182 melalui metode dan pendekatan yang berbeda. Kedua, mengaitkan pada living waris yang hidup dan berkembang pada masyarakat Muslim Indonesia. Ketiga, mengkorelasikan substansi makna anak melalui penelusuran asbabun nuzul. 2.) Penggunaan metode dan pendekatan yang variatif ini telah berimplikasi pada kualitas penerapan cita keadilan di setiap putusan hakim di Pengadilan Agama. Adapun putusan yang dianggap lebih mengakomodir cita keadilan adalah keputusan Mahkamah Agung (MA) yang memutuskan anak perempuan bisa menghijab kewarisan saudara almarhum. Hal demikian karena keputusan MA dianggap lebih sesuai fakta, sistem, dan tradisi kewarisan bilateral yang hidup pada masyarakat Muslim Indonesia.
Yagya as a Medium of Communication: A Short Perspective
Authors: Pandey Vivek
Published: January 2024

Yagya holds great significance in Indian culture as a powerful form of communication deeply rooted in Vedic philosophy. Unlike Western views on communication, the Indian perspective emphasizes introspection, leading to self-awareness, freedom, and truth. Yagya is not just a ritualistic practice but symbolizes the pursuit of inner clarity and comprehension, aiming to connect with one’s inner self and ultimate truth. Both Yagya and communication share the core essence of building connections and fostering understanding. Throughout history, Yagya has been a profound means of communication in India, imparting knowledge, promoting unity, and conveying timeless life lessons for positive transformation. It serves as a conduit to transmit wisdom and guidance to rulers and the public, fostering open dialogue and mutual understanding, even in contemporary times with Yagya-based movements continuing to spread positive values and promote personal and societal growth.

Published: January 2024

This study used CBCT to examine the greater palatine foramen in Tunisian patients, aiming to provide crucial anatomical information for administering greater palatine nerve block anesthesia and identifying appropriate locations for harvesting palatal donor tissue. A total of 63 CBCT scans were conducted on Tunisian patients. All patients had fully erupted first, second, and third molars, leading to the examination of 100 greater palatine foramina (GPF). The evaluation of the GPFs encompassed their positioning, Antero-posterior (AP) and latero-medial (LM) diameters, as well as their distances from both the midline maxillary suture (MMS) and the alveolar ridge top (ART). The measurements were conducted using the distance measuring tool of Romexis® viewer software. The IBM® SPSS® version 20.0 statistical package was used to carry out all statistical analyses. The study included 100 CBCTs, with participants consisting of 37 males (58.73%) and 26 females (41.27%), having an average age of 34±12 years. Among the 100 GPFs analyzed, 68% were near the third molar, 23% were situated behind it, and 9% were positioned opposite to the second molar. The average AP and LM diameters were 4.64mm (±1.15) and 2.53mm (±0.68), respectively. The mean distances to the MMS and ART were 13.9mm (±1.51) and 11.45mm (±2.09), respectively. Among Tunisian patients, the GPF position is quite variable, seldom found opposite to the second molar, and tends to be in closer proximity to the third molar.

Tujuan penelitian ini memiliki jangka yang cukup panjang (multismester) dengan sasaran capaian yang progresif di setiap smesternya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah melihat berapa besar potensi air bersih yang dapat disimpan dan disuntuikan ke aquifer pada setiap terjadi hujan. Seperti yang kita ketahui curah hujan kota bandung cukup tinggi dan hal tersebut dapat memberikan keuntungan dan kerugian pada saat yang bersamaan, terlebih bila potensi konservasi sumberdaya air tidak dioptimalkan secara optimal. Besarnya curah hujan yang turun dapat meningkatkan debit lintasan dari suatu wilayah, hal tersebut bila hanya dibiarkan masuk ke dalam saluran dan dibiarkan bermuara ke sungai hanya akan menghasilkan flash flood atau banjir singkat di bagian hilir suatu wilayah. Besarnya potensi air yang akan membanjiri air di hilir atau yang hanya terbuang dari suatu wilayah perlu mendapat perhatian lebih seksama, baik itu dalam sisi konservasi sumberdaya air maupun perlindungan dari potensi daya rusak air.

Zoonosis merupakan penyakit yang dapat menular antara hewan dan manusia, dan dapat menjadi ancaman serius bagi kesehatan masyarakat. Identifikasi parasit pada hewan liar, seperti tikus liar, menjadi penting karena tikus liar dapat berperan sebagai vektor atau sumber penyakit zoonosis yang dapat menular kepada manusia melalui kontak langsung atau melalui konsumsi makanan yang terkontaminasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi dan meninjau literatur yang ada mengenai peran tikus liar sebagai pembawa parasit saluran cerna dan potensi risikonya terhadap zoonosis. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah systematic literature review. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini melibatkan pencarian dan seleksi literatur yang relevan dari berbagai database ilmiah dan sumber lainnya. Analisis data dalam systematic literature review melibatkan proses penilaian kualitas studi yang ditinjau, ekstraksi data dari studi dan sintesis temuan dari berbagai studi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa tikus liar, terutama jenis Rattus tanezumi dan Rattus norvegicus, memiliki peran yang signifikan dalam penyebaran parasit saluran cerna dan potensi risiko zoonosis di Indonesia. Tikus tersebut dapat menjadi reservoir berbagai patogen, seperti bakteri zoonotik dan parasit cacing, serta berperan sebagai vektor bagi penyakit seperti leptospirosis, hantavirus, dan penyakit pes. Upaya pengendalian populasi tikus, perbaikan sanitasi lingkungan, dan peningkatan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap risiko zoonosis yang dapat ditularkan oleh tikus liar menjadi langkah krusial dalam pencegahan penyebaran penyakit tersebut.

In modern football, in addition to advanced physical and mental abilities, players must have excellent technical skills. Coaches must emphasize the development of ball skills during youth training that will enable athletes to execute technical elements accurately and precisely, even at a fast game pace. The present research investigated the significance and effects of ball skill development among youth football players. The study focuses on the role and importance of technical elements in football, implementing the Coerver training method.

Material and methods: The U11, U13, and U14 youth teams of Loki Focisuli Debrecen KSE participated in the study. We examined the effect of a 14-week training program on ball skills. We implemented sport-specific tests to assess these technical skills. Fourteen weeks later, we conducted the second measurement under the same conditions.

Results and conclusion: The study confirmed that youth football players may improve ball skills with the help of a 14-week training program based on Coerver's training method. The most significant improvement was measured in the U11 age group.

Sports professionals should encourage the development of cognitive functions as often as possible in training. Stimulating the brain with alternating stimuli can promote concentration, attention, and the development of situational awareness and decision-making skills. The more and more diverse stimuli the player receives, the faster and more effectively he will react to match situations. Our research examined the effect of exercises requiring advanced cognitive skills on the training load. Changes in cardiovascular data were monitored using Polar Verity Sense 4J and Polarflow systems. The pilot study involved a U-16 football player. Our results demonstrated that in addition to increasing speed, duration, and number of repetitions, the gradual inclusion of decision-making situations can also effectively increase the load. The participant completed two sets of exercises. During the second test, more complex exercises required advanced cognitive skills. The average heart rate for the first test was 130 beats per minute. We experienced an increase in the average value (150 beats per minute) during the completion of the second test. We measured an average 15 percent increase in the participants' heart rate.
