Authors: Panforova Iryna , Shutko Viktor
Published: November 2024

The process of migration of information systems (IS) to the cloud, which is an urgent problem for many modern enterprises, is considered. The subject of the research is methods for estimating the duration of operations in the implementation of an IT project of migration of information systems to the cloud. Several main methods for estimating the duration of operations are considered: the method of Expert Judgment, the method of Analogous Estimation and the method of analysis and revision of scenarios (Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). Among the methods considered, the PERT method was chosen as the one that best adapts to temporal uncertainties.
The advantages and disadvantages of the original PERT method are considered. It is found that focusing on the most probable scenario with minimal consideration of the influence of other scenarios may not reflect all possible cases when estimating the duration of operations of IT projects. Attention is paid to the existing modifications, the purpose of their development and adaptability to solving the problems of estimating the duration of operations for IT projects of migration of information systems to the cloud. An analysis of the existing modification of the method (Modified PERT) on the possibility of solving the problem of focusing on the most likely scenario.
Based on the results of the preliminary study, a method of parametric estimation based on the PERT method has been proposed to solve the identified problem. A comparison of the accuracy of estimating the duration of operations of the IT project of migration of IS to the Google Cloud for the original PERT method and the developed method of parametric estimation is carried out on the example of three tasks. It has been experimentally shown that for situations where the context of the operation is not based on the most probable scenario, the developed method provides a more accurate estimate than the original one. The change in the graph of the probability curve of the distribution of the time of the operation is clearly shown using the original PERT method and the parametric estimation method based on the PERT method.

Authors: Udovenko Sergiy , Zathey Volodymyr , Teslenko Oleh
Published: November 2024

The object of research is digital systems of decentralized control of quasi-stationary multi-connected processes taking into account structural disturbances.
It was determined that the promising development of decentralized control of multi-connected processes is research related to considering the possibility of its application for real situations of partial disruption of interconnections between subsystems in multidimensional stochastic systems. Such studies are not sufficiently developed today, therefore the topic of the proposed work should be considered relevant from the theoretical and applied points of view.   The problem of decentralized management of multi-connected stochastic objects is formalized, taking into account the internal relationships between their local subsystems of the system. A method of decentralization of a multi-connected system is proposed, the advantage of which is the use of simple computational procedures of transformation and permutation of matrix elements of the global model.
The concept of c-robustness of a multi-connected dynamic system is introduced, which guarantees its asymptotic stability and suboptimality in the event of structural disturbances. Methods of robust decentralized control are proposed for cases of explicit and implicit tasks of interconnections between local subsystems. The proposed methods have a certain advantage in comparison with the method of local control coordination, which consists in increasing the efficiency of decentralized control with a guaranteed level of suboptimality.
Experimental modeling of the considered method for models of multi-connected chemical-technological systems describing the relationship between the input and output parameters of the processes was carried out. During the simulation, the global system was decomposed into 4 local subsystems. Modeling of the task of decentralized management was also carried out according to the well-known method of coordination, based on finding the values of uncertain multipliers. A comparative analysis of the results obtained using this standard method and the proposed robust methods shows the superiority of the latter.

Authors: Petrov Kostiantin , Ivanenko Olha , Kobzev Igor
Published: November 2024

An important stage of planning in the implementation of IT-projects is the assessment of the complexity of software development. An accurate estimate of labor costs at the early stage of the project life cycle significantly affects the allocation of resources, time planning and budget costs. Therefore, regardless of the large number of methods used to estimate labor costs during the implementation of an IT-project, the task of increasing the accuracy of this predictive estimate is relevant.
The paper examines in detail the possibilities of using the well-known method for estimating labor costs Use Case Points (UCP), which is based on the use of use cases. It belongs to algorithmic methods, which makes it quite reliable and predictable in use. It also allows you to take into account the functional requirements for the system, which is especially useful in the early stages of project implementation. In addition, UCP is not tied to specific technologies or programming languages, which indicates its universality and flexibility.
The purpose of the study is to improve the UCP method of estimating labor costs necessary for the successful implementation of an IT-project, which will allow taking into account interval estimates of technical complexity factors and external factors that affect the estimation of the amount of software and, accordingly, the estimation of the project's labor intensity.
To experimentally verify the operability and efficiency of the proposed modified UCP method, a dataset containing information on 71 real projects was used. The results of computer modeling and comparative analysis of the accuracy of estimates of labor costs for the implementation of the project obtained using the proposed and original UCP methods are given.
The results of the experiments showed that the proposed modification of the UCP method allows obtaining more accurate predictive estimates of labor costs in the implementation of IT-projects, which can significantly affect the efficiency of planning and project management processes.

Published: November 2024

The subject of the research is the process of constructing recommendations in individual insurance tasks. The aim is to develop an approach for building recommendations in personalized insurance projects using temporal knowledge to adapt proposed insurance plans according to client behavior on insurance company websites. Objectives: to structure temporal rules considering the peculiarities of the online insurance recommendation process; to develop a method for constructing recommendations for insurance product selection using temporal knowledge. Conclusions: temporal rules have been structured for the task of building recommendations in personalized insurance projects. These rules generalize behavior in relative time for multiple users, enabling the generalization of user action sequences. A method for constructing online recommendations using temporal knowledge has been developed. The method consists of two phases: temporal knowledge formation and recommendation construction. The first phase is performed offline and is designed to form a base of temporal rules that generalize knowledge about user behavior. The second phase is executed online and involves refining and further utilizing temporal rules to adapt recommendations according to current user behavior. The method enables prompt adaptation of recommendations considering the user's current actions, creating conditions for increasing user trust in the recommender system's proposals.

Published: November 2024

The object of research is the process of selecting a project management information system. When selecting a PMIS for the customer organization, there is a need for a specific methodology to formalize the selection stages. The main existing selection methods and their criteria do not provide sufficient and objective information for selecting a PMIS. This research aims to develop a model and method based on it to systematize this process and ensure an objective and rational choice of PMIS, which in turn enhances the productivity and quality of project management.
The method of analytic hierarchy process and a developed model are chosen as the basis for developing the method for selecting PMIS. The developed method consists of five stages: determining the basic assessments of PMIS criteria and their weights using experts; determining the assessment of PMIS sub-criteria; determining the global weight of the criteria; evaluating alternatives for each sub-criterion; and selecting the best alternative.
An experimental verification of the developed model and method was conducted by creating a web application for data collection and processing within the considered stages. Python and specific libraries that enable the integration of the developed model and method into the company's website were used to develop the information technology. The obtained results demonstrate the feasibility of the chosen criteria in evaluating alternative PMIS by the customer using the formed model and method.

Published: November 2024

The subject of the research is the process of constructing explanations in artificial intelligence systems. The goal is to develop a temporal-causal approach to constructing explanations in artificial intelligence systems to present explanations both for the decision-making process and the obtained decision, and to make them transparent and understandable for solving practical user tasks. Tasks: structuring the levels of explanation representation considering temporal and causal aspects; developing a generalized method for constructing explanations using temporal and causal dependencies; developing a method for refining explanations using temporal dependencies. The structuring of the explanation representation in temporal and causal aspects at the local, intermediate, and global levels has been performed. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is as follows. A temporal-causal method for constructing explanations is proposed, which includes the stages of constructing temporal and causal dependencies at the local, intermediate, and global levels of explanation representation. The method makes it possible, based on temporal dependencies, to form an explanation in the form of causal dependencies that determine the actions of the process and the values of input variables as the causes of the obtained solution, which creates conditions for increasing the level of user trust. A method for constructing explanations at the global level of representation based on the ordering of input data has been developed. The method includes the stages of constructing temporal rules, determining the weights of rules based on the weights of the antecedent and consequent, constructing causal rules, constructing an explanation as a set of weighted causal rules, which makes it possible to consider the structure of input data when constructing an explanation.

Published: November 2024

In the use of radiation, attention must be paid to radiation safety. Radiation safety is carried out to protect workers, community members, and the environment from radiation hazards (BAPETEN, 2013). Knowledge about radiation protection when conducting radiological examinations is still very low known by the people of Kangkung village, Kendal regency. For this reason, it is necessary to educate the community so that the occurrence of biological effects can be minimized. The PkM team will provide counseling related to the application of radiation protection that needs to be known and carried out while in the X-ray radiation source area. The method that will be carried out by the PkM team is to provide pre-test, counseling and post test. The results of the implementation of community service activities show that residents have understood the counseling material provided. This is shown by the increase in knowledge after counseling on radiation hazards, radiation protection and the application of personal protective equipment for radiological examinations. According to Manurung (2018), the better the knowledge that individuals have, the better the perception of the dangers of x-ray radiation.

Nowadays, the function of language as a means of conveying messages to establish social interaction is somewhat neglected. Language is no longer a message, but has changed into a sentiment. This is represented in the form of hate speech and bullying that often occurs on social media by violating the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE). The purpose of this community service activity is to increase knowledge and skills about the form of hate speech and bullying texts in Indonesian language literacy for students and also knowledge about the right procedures or strategies to avoid hate speech and verbal bullying by others. In this training, two methods were applied, namely practice and simulation. The results of the community service activities showed that students experienced a significant increase in Indonesian language literacy to avoid hate speech and bullying. Before the delivery of the material, students scored 4,594. However, after the delivery of the material, there was an increase in student scores, namely 4,640. This increase illustrates the effectiveness of the activity program. Students experienced significant progress in terms of understanding or skills as measured by pretest and posttest.

Published: November 2024

Purpose. Atypical temporal processing is thought to be involved in the phonological difficulties that characterise children with developmental dyslexia (DYS). The Temporal Sampling (TS) theory of dyslexia (Goswami, 2011) posits that the processing of lowfrequency envelope modulations is impaired, but the processing of binaural temporal fine structure is preserved in children with DYS. Methods. We assessed binaural TFS sensitivity for DYS children utilising the methods developed by Flanagan et al. (2021) for typically developing (TD) children. New results for fifty-eight DYS children (age 7 to 9.6 years) were compared with those for thirty agedmatched controls (CA reported in Flanagan et al., 2021). The highest frequency at which an interaural phase difference (IPD) of 30° or 180° could be distinguished from an IPD of 0° was determined using a two-interval forced-choice task in which the frequency was adaptively varied, with stimuli presented via headphones. Results. A linear mixed-effects model with dependent variable frequency and fixed effects of Group (CA, DYS) and Phase (180°, 30°) showed no significant difference between groups (p>0.05) and no significant interaction between group and phase. Both groups performed more poorly than young typically-hearing adults (p<0.001) for both phases. Conclusions. Binaural TFS sensitivity does not differ significantly for DYS and TD children. For both groups, the development of binaural TFS sensitivity is protracted. The results are consistent with TS theory.

Credit scores are crucial these days for getting approved for a mortgage, assessing business loans, and managing customer finances. A bank's ability to accurately judge someone's creditworthiness directly impacts their bottom line and operations. For a long time, we have used models like decision trees, logistic regression, and neural networks to evaluate credit. However, lately, we have started using more advanced distributed models like LightGBM, XGBoost, and CatBoost. These have improved the accuracy of our credit predictions but still have significant limitations. This paper looks at combining multiple models into one robust hybrid model. The goal is to surpass the performance bottlenecks of older models. Our proposed approach takes credit score prediction to the next level. We aim to improve precision, F1 score, recall, and AUC metrics. By conducting a detailed comparison of these elements, we will evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of our designed Ensemble Model versus current general models, showcasing our results through an objective analysis.
Cognitive behavior model replicates road user response timing in naturalistic rear-end traffic conflicts
Authors: Rössert Christian , Drever Johannes , Brostek Lukas
Published: November 2024

Driver response timing in critical traffic situations has traditionally been studied using controlled experiments with clearly defined stimuli. However, these approaches often fail to capture the complexity of real-world scenarios. We present a validation study of the driveBOT cognitive architecture, comparing its response timing to human driver responses from the Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP2) naturalistic driving study. While driveBOT implements general principles of human behavior modeling, we evaluate its performance specifically in rear-end conflicts against the naturalistic data.Our statistical validation demonstrates that driveBOT successfully reproduces human response characteristics in these scenarios without requiring explicit stimulus definitions. The model generates responses that closely match the naturalistic driving data in the relationship between situation kinematics and driver response timing. These results suggest that driveBOT's cognitive architecture captures fundamental aspects of human driving behavior in critical situations.The validated driveBOT model provides a practical tool for simulating driver response timing, with direct applications in vehicle safety system development and risk assessment. This work demonstrates how computational cognitive architectures can bridge the gap between controlled experimental findings and naturalistic driving behavior.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) report high cigarette smoking rates and poor health outcomes related to tobacco use. Despite high motivation to quit smoking, those with SCI experience challenges to quitting due to a lack of SCI-specific support. Objective: Use an integrated knowledge translation (IKT) and world café approach to (1) identify strategies to improve the relevance and useability of smoking cessation services for persons with SCI and (2) identify meaningful outcomes to measure when testing a smoking cessation intervention for persons with SCI.Methods: Aligned with an IKT approach, an SCI organization was meaningfully engaged throughout the research process. An in-person world café was conducted with staff from an SCI organization who deliver peer support to people with SCI. Strategies to improve the delivery and receipt of a smoking cessation intervention for persons with SCI and meaningful outcomes were identified using a conventional content analysis.Results: Ten staff members who provided SCI peer support through an SCI organization participated in the World Café. Five overarching themes to improve the delivery and receipt of a smoking cessation intervention for persons with SCI were identified: Training for SCI peer health coaches; don’t need to be told smoking is bad for you; coming alongside as a tour guide; ease of use; and wanting to be well informed.Conclusion: Findings from this study provide important insight to improve the relevance, usefulness, and useability of smoking cessation services for persons with SCI and may ultimately help people with SCI stop smoking.
Mental health professionals’ attitudes towards the network theory of mental disorders
Authors: Schumacher Lea , Kriston Levente
Published: November 2024

The network theory proposes to conceptualize mental disorders as networks of interacting symptoms. While clinical expertise could offer a valuable perspective on this theory and its applications, little is known about mental health professionals´ attitudes. In an online survey, mental health professionals rated their agreement with propositions of the network theory and evaluated the acceptability and appropriateness of possible applications. The 257 participating mental health professionals largely agreed with the network theory’s proposition regarding the phenomenology of mental disorders and regarding treatment effects. Appraisal of the network theory regarding the aetiology, regarding important treatment targets and regarding acceptability and appropriateness of possible applications was mixed. A background in cognitive behavioural therapy, and previous knowledge of the network theory were positively associated with agreement. The core assumptions of the network approach seem to resonate with mental health professionals, while consequences for the diagnosis and treatment for mental disorders were questioned.
Embodied speech: sensorimotor contributions to native and non-native language processing and learning
Authors: Tseng Tzuyi , Krzonowski Jennifer , Brozzoli Claudio , Roy Alice C. , Boulenger Véronique
Published: November 2024

The last 15 years of research on language production and comprehension have put forward a conceptual revolution, highlighting how language may depend not only on specific brain areas but also on embodied processes underpinned by sensorimotor brain regions. A large amount of studies have underlined the sensorimotor grounding of the different processes at play in language comprehension, in particular action verb processing and sentence comprehension (see Fischer & Zwaan, 2008 and Franken et al., 2022 for reviews). One aspect of language processing, phoneme perception, has been less extensively studied in light of embodied cognition, yet the motor involvement in decoding sounds pertaining to a linguistic code seems to play a crucial contribution. The focus of the current review is to provide an updated overview of the findings in this domain on both native (Sections I and II) and foreign (i.e. non-native) phoneme perception (Section III), and to further examine if and how motor training may enhance phonological processing and learning of foreign language speech sounds (Section IV and V).

Tingginya permintaan benih bermutu dan terbatasnya persediaan merupakan peluang usaha yang prospektif bagi produsen benih kentang unggul (potensi 40 ton/ha) dan bermutu yang dihasilkan melalui teknologi kultur in vitro. Teknik pengembangan benih kentang unggul bermitra dengan UD. Sumber Tani yang berlokasikan dikawasan sentra produksi kentang. Ketersediaan benih bermutu diawali dengan keberadaan benih inti dan benih penjenis. Benih penjenis dibedakan menjadi benih planlet dan umbi mikro hasil kultur in vitro. Hingga saat ini keberadaan benih penjenis masih cukup terbatas, namun dapat dipropagasi melalui teknik kultur in vitro di UMM Potato Seeds. Permasalahan mitra dapat diidentifikasi sebagai berikut: 1) Kurang tersedianya benih kentang unggul beruapa planlet kentang, 2) Rendahnya hasil produksi benih kentang dalam bentuk stek dan G0, 3) Proses produksi relatif lama karena menggunakan teknologi konvensional, 4) Produk belum berlabel (bersertifikat), 5) Produk masih terbatas pemasarnnya dalam skala lokal belum dikembangkan secara nasional. Untuk itu pada kegiatan ini dilaksanakan implementasi adopsi rakitan inovasi teknologi produksi benih kentang unggul dari proses aklimatisasi, produksi benih stek pucuk berakar (rooted apical cuttings), produksi benih kentang kelas G0. Hasil dari kegiatan ini adalah: 1) Screen net berukuran 500 m2 dilokasi mitra, 2) Teknologi produksi benih kentang unggul berupa stek pucuk berakar sebanyak 10.000 setiap 2 bulan, 3) Benih kentang berkualitas umbi G0 sebanyak 8.000 umbi setiap panen.
La caída. Camus y el arrojo por el otro
Authors: Vega Valladares Salvador
Published: November 2024

Vega Valladares, Salvador. La caída. Camus y el arrojo por el otro. En el presente estudio intento relacionar la novela La caída, de Albert Camus, con las principales nociones filosóficas de su autor, sobre todo el “absurdo”, la “rebeldía” y su planteamiento ético. Asimismo, busco dilucidar cómo esta obra expone una de las principales críticas de Camus: el descubrimiento de la rebeldía metafísica y su posterior renuncia. Tal rebeldía es encuentro profundo consigo mismo y con el otro, lo cual la torna co–originaria de la solidaridad, y, sin ésta, toda lucidez rebelde se pierde. Así pues, busco mostrar de qué manera esta novela filosófica va ligando algunos conceptos camusianos con la trama y vida del personaje principal, con el propósito de abrir vías de reflexión sobre la esencia de lo ético.
Formalización y respectividad: reflexión sobre el concepto de inteligencia artificial desde el concepto de inteligencia sentiente de Xavier Zubiri

Corona Arias, Julio César. Formalización y respectividad: reflexión sobre el concepto de inteligencia artificial desde el concepto de inteligencia sentiente de Xavier Zubiri. En el más primario momento de la inteligencia artificial y de la inteligencia sentiente se encuentra la noción de formalización. Alrededor de esa afirmación pretendo responder lo siguiente: ¿qué hay en la inteligencia sentiente que no es posible encontrar en la inteligencia artificial? La respuesta es la respectividad. En este trabajo planteo la hipótesis de que, en los momentos más fundamentales de la inteligencia sentiente, la formalización es respectiva; mientras que, en la artificial, es recursiva. Tal formalización respectiva es justamente lo que falta en esta última. En efecto, la respectividad de la inteligencia humana es lo que posibilita que haya otras cualidades, categorías o niveles secundarios. Este trabajo es sólo un desarrollo conceptual que abre camino para llegar a la justificación de esta última afirmación.
La figura sintáctica de lo real

Ramírez Voss, Jesús. La figura sintáctica de lo real. En este artículo analizo el original estilo que Xavier Zubiri empleó para expresar la necesaria prioridad que la realidad, impresivamente aprehendida, ejerce en el lenguaje filosófico. De este modo, contrapongo dos modelos distintos de análisis de la conciencia: el modelo fenomenológico tradicional y el modelo noológico propio del sistema zubiriano.

San Román Gómez, Álvaro. Del hombre a Dios. En el presente artículo me centro en revisar sucintamente los conceptos de la obra El hombre y Dios del filósofo Xavier Zubiri. En primer lugar, expondré a qué llamamos “hombre”, para abordar enseguida cómo y dónde se es tal. Seguidamente, dilucidaré qué solemos entender por “Dios”, para concluir poniendo en tela de juicio las caracterizaciones elaboradas por el autor vasco.
Política y existencia. Dos facetas de la libertad individual y su origen común
Authors: Campos García–Calderón Rafael
Published: November 2024

Campos García–Calderón, Rafael. Política y existencia. Dos facetas de la libertad individual y su origen común. En el presente artículo intentaré reinterpretar la noción de libertad individual a la luz de la filosofía existencial. Sobre la base de esta perspectiva procuraré comprender la libertad política, institución forjada en la modernidad occidental, desde la experiencia de la existencia y de sus elementos constitutivos. En la primera parte estudiaré el concepto de libertad como libertad política, tal como fue desarrollado por el liberalismo clásico moderno. En la segunda parte haré lo propio con el concepto de libertad existencial, en función de los aportes del pensador danés Søren Kierkegaard. Finalmente, recurriré a la obra del filósofo alemán Karl Jaspers con la finalidad de mostrar el origen común de ambas facetas de la libertad en el ámbito de lo abarcador, dimensión originaria desde la cual la subjetividad surge simultáneamente como libertad existencial y libertad política. Desde esa dimensión trataré de esclarecer la relación dialéctica entre ambas formas de libertad como la oposición entre la excepción y la autoridad, respectivamente, de manera que podré proponer el desarrollo de una personalidad ética capaz de ser responsable de las consecuencias políticas de sí misma.
Mechanical Stratigraphy and Deformation of the Gobbler Anticline, Sacramento Mountains, New Mexico, USA
Authors: Syzdk Joseph , Zahm Christopher , Kerans Charles , Malone David
Published: November 2024

The geometry and deformational mechanisms associated with the growth of the Gobbler Anticline, a north-trending, doubly plunging, tight fold that is interpreted to be a fault-propagation fold above a blind, basement-rooted reverse fault with en echelon tear faults was constrained via a balanced cross-section, virtual outcrop models, and orthomosaic photographs. The Gobbler Anticline consists of tightly folded and faulted mixed lithofacies. Here, thick-bedded (1.0-10.0 m) limestones intercalated with thin-bedded (laminated - 1.0 m) shale, characteristic of the Bug Scuffle Member of the Pennsylvanian Gobbler Formation. Measured sections (totaling 470 m) document the distribution of facies while mechanical rock property analyses document the unconfined compressive strength of the rocks. Thin sections and X-Ray fluorescence indicate lithological controls on deformational mechanisms. Pre-Permian unconformities and thinning of the overlying mid-upper Pennsylvanian strata indicate shallow burial (<500 m) at the time of initial fold deformation (Missourian, ∼307 Ma). We find that argillaceous wackestones are disproportionately weakened when involved in folding soon after deposition and mechanical layering is the dominant control on fracture development in more deformed areas. This study illustrates the value of a tightly constrained mechanical strati-graphic model for the prediction of fracture distribution and fold geometry in deformed carbonate rocks.
Characterization and Evolution of the Professor Valley Salt Body, Paradox Basin, Utah Using Integrated Geological, Geochemcial and Geophysical (Gravity) Techniques
Authors: Scott Derek T. , Baker Mark R. , Doser Diane I. , Giles Katherine A.
Published: November 2024

Surface mapping, petrographic analysis, isotopic and gravity studies characterize the Professor Valley salt body, located within northeast Paradox Basin between the Salt Valley and Onion Creek salt walls. Gravity analysis identifies the Professor Valley salt body as an isolated diapir that is not connected to Onion Creek, and not likely connected with Salt Valley. Outcrops of the Paradox Formation at Professor Valley are non-caprock carbonates that have undergone meteoric diagenesis that surround unusual sandstone and conglomerate inclusions. We infer the inclusions are derived from Paradox Formation clastic depositional cycles, carried upward during diapirism, and concentrated with salt dissolution. Gravity data and surface bedding orientations on the northern edge of the diapir indicate the adjacent Permian Cutler Group strata represent composite halokinetic sequences extending <1 km from the diapir. The southern edge of the diapir is less constrained but appears consistent with the asymmetry observed in adjacent salt bodies. Smaller scale features are consistent with a burial wedge located near the eastern edge of the diapir. Results demonstrate how the integration of geological and geophysical methods can aid in determining the geometry and evolution of salt bodies.
Optimizing self-management and quality of life for patients living with diabetic foot ulcers: Insights from Indonesia
Authors: Kusumaningrum Niken Safitri Dyan , Paramitta Rikha
Published: November 2024

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are chronic wounds on the lower extremities of individuals with diabetes, characterized by slow healing. Without effective self-management, patients with DFUs face an increased risk of hospitalization and amputation, which can significantly impair daily activities and diminish quality of life. This study aims to analyze the correlation between self-management and quality of life in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Employing a correlational study design, this research involved adults with any stage of diabetic foot ulcers treated at a public hospital in Semarang, Central Java. Participants were consecutively sampled, and data were collected using the Diabetes-related Foot Ulcer Self-Management Behaviour Scale (DFUSMBS) and the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Scale-Short Form (DFU-SF). Descriptive and correlational analyses were conducted on the collected data. The study included 36 participants with a mean age of 57.61 years (SD = 9.71), over half of whom had no history of amputation. Results indicated a positive correlation between self-management and quality of life (r = 0.385, p < 0.05). However, both self-management and quality of life scores were generally low, with mean scores of 42.52 and 89.55, respectively. Effective self-management is positively correlated with improved quality of life for individuals with diabetic foot ulcers. It is recommended that healthcare providers offer targeted self-management education to enhance or maintain the quality of life for these patients.

Published: November 2024

Asphyxia is still a major cause of morbidity and mortality in newborns in both developing and developed countries. The prevalence of asphyxia in provincial referral hospitals in Indonesia is 41.94%. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the first minute Apgar score and bilirubin levels in newborns at Margono Soekarjo Hospital, Purwokerto. The type of research used is analytic observational with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were newborns who were cared for in the perinatal room at Margono Soekarjo Hospital Purwokerto in 2021-2022 with a total of 3824 babies. The sample size was 156. Data analysis used the Pearson Product Moment test. The results showed that the lowest Apgar score was 1 and the highest Apgar score was 8, the average Apgar score was 5. The lowest bilirubin level was 0.1 mg/dL and the highest bilirubin level was 24.16 mg/dL, the average bilirubin level was 10.68 mg /dL. There is a significant correlation between Apgar scores and bilirubin levels in newborns at Margono Soekarjo Hospital, Purwokerto, with a weak correlation (-0.231). Conclusion: The greater the Apgar score, the lower the bilirubin level.

Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of death among women in Indonesia, caused by the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The progression of this disease takes a long time, and one of the at-risk groups is adolescent girls who engage in deviant sexual behavior, improper reproductive organ care, and unhealthy lifestyles. Adolescents need to have good knowledge, attitudes, and skills from an early age because these can influence their future behavior, especially in early cervical cancer prevention. Therefore, it is necessary to provide contemporary cervical cancer education through the website "Sahabat Sehat Serviks" to improve adolescents' knowledge, followed by changes in attitudes and skills. This study aims to determine the effect of health education through the website on increasing the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of adolescent girls in the early prevention of cervical cancer. The research design is a quasi-experiment with a quantitative approach, using a pre-post with a control group design. The study population consisted of 179 adolescent girls aged 11–13 years. The sample included 36 respondents selected by proportional stratified random sampling. The results showed significant differences in knowledge, attitudes, and skills among respondents who received cervical cancer health education through the "Sahabat Sehat Serviks" e-health website, with p-values of 0.000 for knowledge, 0.014 for attitudes, and 0.001 for skills. The "Sahabat Sehat Serviks" website is effective as a medium for cervical cancer health education for adolescent girls in improving knowledge, attitudes, and skills for early cervical cancer prevention.
