In Indonesia as a Foreign Language (IFL) learning, it is necessary to have strategies and media that support the understanding of the Indonesian language and culture for foreign students from various cultural backgrounds. This study aims to develop and determine the effectiveness of culture-based webtoon comics as a learning media to increase advanced IFL students' cultural understanding. The research method used in this study is the ADDIE method (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) and used one group pre-test-post-test design on IFL academic class at Sebelas Maret University, Indonesia. This research used the Wilcoxon test with a 5% significance level and N-gain score to analyse the data. The validation results from IFL material and learning media experts indicate that "Belajar Budaya bersama Joko dan Fred" webtoon is a feasible product to use. The results showed the Wilcoxon Asymp test. Sig. (2-tailed) is 0.026 < 0.05 and the N-gain score is 71.67%. From these results, it can be concluded that there was a significant difference between IFL students' average results before and after using this webtoon. The use of culture-based webtoons as a IFL learning medium is quite effective to improve the cultural understanding of advanced IFL students compared to the use of conventional texts with illustrations.

Published: November 2022

Stone-base, a material often used for base construction in flexible pavements, have in recent studies been shown to be suitable as an all – in – concreting aggregate. This study investigated the crushing, flexural and split tensile strengths as well as other mechanical properties of stone-base laterized concretes (SBLC). Normal river sand fine aggregate was partially replaced by laterite while the coarse aggregate proportion was made of stone base. Concrete mixes containing 100%, 75%, 50%, 25% and 0% replacement (by weight) of river sand with laterite and stone base as coarse aggregate were prepared. The workability of all fresh concrete mixes was determined using the slump test. Observed slumps ranged between 20 and 70mm and the maximum crushing strength of 23.6N/mm2 was produced by the specimen containing 25% laterite and 75% sand. All the strengths increased with the age of curing and the strengths were quite comparable with that of the control concrete which stood at 25.1N/mm2. A maximum density of 2329kg/m3 was recorded at 28 days curing. This density showed that stone-based laterized concretes are normal weight concretes and can be used for construction purposes.

Published: November 2022

In this decade, the entire world realized that a healthy environment is needed for mitigating catastrophic issues created by the nature. Thus, the green bond was introduced in 2007, and the green Sukuk was issued in 2017. Malaysia took the pioneering role for issuing green Sukuk and issued ten green Sukuk within 2020. Furthermore, Indonesia has taken initiative for issuing five green Sukuk in 2018. Besides that, Saudi Arabia issued two green Sukuk and the United Arab Emirates also issued two green Sukuk in 2019. As the green Sukuk was issued in various sectors which created a curiosity to know, what are the policies were created, how did they apply and how do they impact on the environment. Accordingly, the study aims to find out implemented policies to mitigate challenges for issuing all green Sukuk in four nations. So, this study was conducted through case studies on green Sukuk by analysing available data from the green Sukuk issuers, ministries, published literature and others. The study found that green Sukuk issuers were implemented the same policies that applied to issue green bonds and still remain a great challenge. It is because, every nation has a different geographical atmosphere, culture, religion and human behaviours. In addition, the study also found that all of the green Sukuk-issued projects were selected to reduce air pollution. Therefore, further research is needed on policy and project creation according to the nation for controlling other factors, such as; pollution (water, land, and sound), deforestation, and others.

Introduction: A common patient safety issue is medication error and this has remained a serious problem in hospital settings. Medication error occurs at any point of medication process: prescription, transcription, dispensing, and administration. Administration error is the most common type of error occurring among nurses; although nurses play a vital role in preventing harms of prescription and dispensing errors from reaching the patient. Therefore, this study was aimed at assessing medication errors and associated factors as perceived by nurses.
Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Bhutan and 225 nurses participated through self-reported questionnaire. Data were double entered and validated in Epidata and analyzed using descriptive commands of statistical software STATA.
Results: Among total participants of N = 225, 62.7% reported to have experienced medication error in past six months. Common type of error experienced were omission of dose; wrong time; wrong dose, and administering drugs without physician’s order. Nurses in intensive care units and those caring for pediatric patients reported experiencing more errors. The perceived factors were look-alike drugs, many patients with similar medicines, more medicines to single patient, and oral instructions and acronyms in prescription.
Conclusions: The nurses reported to have experienced quite a high rate of medication error. The results may be used by relevant stakeholders in preventing and reducing medication errors, the biggest challenge of patient safety in hospital settings.

Published: November 2022

Bank credit card default rates are (as predicted by S&P dow Jones index) at all time high for the past few months. This possess a real challenge for banks and other lending financial institutions, as they are now more than ever are in need of a robust risk prediction model to generalize the economic behavior of their current and potential future clients. In real world massive stream of payment requests are coming in every second which is huge challenge to monitor. Machine Learning algorithms help in solving these huge challenges to an extent. These predictive models would not only benefit the lending institutions but also the customer as it would make them more aware of their potential defaulting rate. The goal of this project is to resolve this problem by building and comparing predictive risk models using supervised learning algorithms. We use python libraries to perform various Machine learning algorithms on the credit card dataset and data diagrams to have better visualization of data. Here the credit card fraud detection is done on the basis of some attributes in the dataset like the time factor and the amount factor. The accuracy of the algorithms is also being determined and the most efficient one is said with the highest accuracy obtained..
Between abandonment and resilient thrusts in the mountain territories of the Orobie (Bergamo)
Authors: Tognon Alisia , Bovati Marco
Published: November 2022

This paper is part of a broader research project, which aims to explore multi-scale methods and strategies (from territorial to building scale) and multidisciplinary approaches to recover underused areas in the mountains of Northern Italy. For decades, these territories have suffered from high incidences of abandonment phenomena due to their proximity to metropolitan areas, leading to loss of care and an increase in territorial fragility. Nevertheless, they are rich in cultural meaning expressed it’s in the close relationship between natural and anthropogeographical landscapes. In this framework, identity value is an essential element for the protection and care of the territories themselves and as a planning tool to establish the resilience of these territories. This paper aims to focus on the area of the Highlands of Bergamo, which are complex places since they are almost close to the urban center of Milan, but are areas considered marginal in terms of wider logic. In fact, in the past years, the Orobic massif has been one of the main objects of industrial and tourist exploitation (the 1960s-80s), before suffering from abandonment phenomena that have forced and continue to push these areas to the point of major reconsideration. In this direction, the paper points out which are the most critical points to consider for the rebirth of these neglected mountains.
The New York Market for French Art in the Gilded Age, 1867–1893
Authors: Zalewski Leanne M.
Published: November 2022

This transatlantic study analyses a missing chapter in the history of art collecting, the first art market bubble in the United States. In the decades following the Civil War, French art monopolized art collections across the United States. During this “Gilded Age picture rush,” the commercial art system—art dealers, galleries, auction houses, exhibitions, museums, art journals, press coverage, art histories, and collection catalogues—established a strong foothold it has not relinquished to this day. In addition, a pervasive concern for improving aesthetics and providing the best contemporary art to educate the masses led to the formation not only of private art collections, but also of institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and to the publication of art histories. Richly informed by collectors’ and art dealers’ diaries, letters, stock books, journals, and hitherto neglected art histories, The New York Market for French Art in the Gilded Age, 1867-1893 offers a fresh perspective on this trailblazing era.

Published: November 2022

Objective: To assess the impact of repeated rocket attacks on a civilian population during successive military conflicts on the patterns of emergency medical services (EMS) utilization.Design: This retrospective cohort study (2008-2021) analyzed EMS data from one region of Israel characterized by intensive rocket attacks on a civilian population during four successive military conflicts. EMS activity for the periods prior to, during, and after the conflicts was compared. Data included call volume, type of calls (“medical illness,” “motor vehicle collision (MVC),” and “other-injuries”), and level of response (advanced life support (ALS) or basic life support (BLS)).Results: Compared to the Pre-Conflict period, there were statistically significant decreased volumes of calls during the 2008 (−20 percent), 2012 (−13 percent), and 2021 (−11 percent) military conflicts for “medical illness” and during the 2008 (−23 percent), 2012 (−30 percent), and 2021 (−31 percent) for “MVC.” Decreases in calls for “medical illness” were accompanied by decreased ALS dispatches (−28, −33, and −18 percent for 2008, 2012, and 2021, respectively). The number of calls returned to preconflict values during the Post-Conflict periods. No change was evidenced in numbers of calls during the 2014 military conflict.Conclusion: Military conflicts involving a civilian population were usually found to be associated with lower numbers of calls for the categories of “medical illness” and “MVC.” Less calls for “medical illness” were associated with fewer ALS dispatches. There was a rapid return of call volumes to preconflict levels shortly after a ceasefire was reached. The absence of change in calls during the 2014 conflict suggests involvement of habituation processes.

Background: Telehealth emerged early as an important tool to provide clinical care during the COVID-19 pandemic, but statewide implementation strategies were lacking.Needs assessment: We performed a needs assessment at 15 pediatrics clinics in Washington regarding their ability to institute telehealth. Fourteen clinics (93 percent response rate) responded; none had ability to perform telehealth visits. Clinics needed the following specific support structures: (1) an easily implementable, low-cost system, and (2) parity billing for telehealth services.Disaster effort: Two weeks after the needs assessment was performed, we facilitated direct telehealth initiation support to 45 Washington clinics and created a coalition of statewide advocacy groups. These groups advocated for (1) a statewide solution for non-network or poorly resourced providers, which was delivered by the WA Health Care Authority, and (2) parity billing, which was delivered by emergency governor action.Conclusion: Engagement with our regional pediatric disaster network was essential in providing guidance and expertise in this needs assessment, telehealth initiation process, and subsequent advocacy efforts. The power we have as pediatricians to coordinate with regional experts helped improve access to telehealth across Washington.

Published: November 2022

Penggunaan teknologi di masa pandemi Covid-19 tidak hanya berdampak positif tetapi juga berdampak negatif. Anak-anak yang menggunakan teknologi tanpa pengawasan dapat mengakses konten pornografi dan membangkitkan rasa ingin tahu untuk mempraktikkannya. Seperti anak dalam Putusan No. 17/Pid.Sus-Anak/2021/PN.Srg yang melakukan pelecehan seksual terhadap anak lain. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bentuk pertanggungjawaban atas tindak pidana pencabulan yang dilakukan oleh anak. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode hukum normatif, yaitu penelitian yang difokuskan untuk menelaah aturan atau norma dalam ius constitutum. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah pendekatan hukum dan pendekatan kasus.

Hypertension is a disease that can progress for many years without symptoms or complications. This disease can cause death and permanent damage to vital organs such as the kidney, heart, and brain. However, when hypertension is treated effectively, these risk factors may decrease significantly. Although many antihypertensive drugs are used in the treatment of hypertension, ACE inhibitors are a new class among these drugs, and their separation and quantitative determinations are important for the success of preclinical, biopharmaceutical, and clinical studies. For this reason, in this study, the simultaneous determination of cilazapril, benazepril, and quinapril from ACE inhibitors, the validation of the developed method, and the quantitative determination of commercial drug dosage forms are aimed. To obtain the optimum liquid chromatographic separation condition, a systematic approach based on the relationship between mobile phase pH and retention time was used. The mobile phase organic modified concentration and column temperature parameters, which are known to affect the retention times of the compounds, were kept constant. When deciding on these parameters, few experiments were carried out.

Authors: SÜRÜCÜ Beytullah
Published: November 2022

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti kurulduktan sonra demokratikleşme ve modernleşme girişimleri hızlanmaya başlamıştır. Demokrasinin eksikliği cumhuriyetin kurulduğu andan itibaren kendini göstermiştir. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti tarihinde demokratikleşme yolunda atılan ilk adım Terakkiperver Cumhuriyet Fırkası’nın kurulması olarak kabul edilebilir. Meclis içindeki grupların oluşturduğu Halk Fırkası dışında başka bir parti yoktu. Başka bir partinin olmayışı ve farklı muhalif grupların da varlığı yeni bir muhalefet partisinin doğmasına sebep oldu. Bu çalışmada Halk Fırkası içerisinde ve ülkede büyümeye başlayan muhalefetin resmi olarak partileşme sürecini ve Terakkiperver Cumhuriyet Fırkası’nın Halk Fırkası’ndan ayrılarak kendini var etme süreci ele alınacaktır. Bu süreç incelenirken Terakkiperver Cumhuriyet Fırkası’nın kendini tanımladığı konum ve Cumhuriyet Halk Fırkası ile yaşanan rejim tartışmalarına değinilecektir.
SOFT POWER, PUBLIC DIPLOMACY AND PUBLIC DIPLOMACY TECHNIQUES: A CONCEPTUAL EVALUATION
Authors: ÇİÇEK Ali
Published: November 2022

For many years, the traditional diplomacy model was accepted as the most important actor in building relations around the world. Traditional diplomacy involved negotiations between two or more government officials that resulted in consensus or conflict. Countries with especially high military and economic power in international relations always had an advantageous position against their counterparts. For many years, traditional diplomacy has been the dominant paradigm of international relations. However, in the 21st century, a new foreign policy method has emerged that deeply affects international relations and causes a kind of paradigm shift. The subject of this method, known as public diplomacy, is people rather than governments. Public diplomacy, which can be seen as a strategic communication model, has meanings such as influencing the people of other countries and becoming a center of attraction for them. In this study, a detailed evaluation of public diplomacy and its techniques has been made, starting from the concept of soft power integrated with public diplomacy. In the study, public diplomacy techniques were exemplified and tried to be presented to the reader in a practical way.

The Length-weight relationships (LWRs) are very important to data for accurate estimate of populations in stock menagement. In this study, the length-weight relationships of some fish in Göynük stream, Murat River (Bingöl/Turkey) were examined. The LWRs and condition factor (K) of Cyprinon macrostomus, Gara rufa, Barbus lacerta, and Acanthobrama marmid were analyzed. LWRs was estimated using the linear regression model. LWRs were obtained as TW = 0.013L2.98, 0.057L2.40, 0.016L2.79 and 0.029L2.82 for C. macrostomus, G. rufa, B. lacerta and A.marmid, respectively. The b values acquired in the four fish species ranged from 2.13 (G. rufa-Male) to 3.34 (B. lacerta-Male). The K of the fish species varied from 0.90 (A. marmid-Male) to 1.27 (G. rufa-All), indicating that most of the fish were in good condition. However, C. macrostomus and G. rufa were better condition than B. lacerta and A. marmid. The study has provided baseline information on the LWR and K of the fish species in Göynük Stream. The datas that would be useful to adapt the adequate regulations for sustainable fish stock estimation in the stream for fishery biologist.

Abstract. The representation of aerosol–cloud interaction (ACI) and its
impacts in the current climate or weather model remains a challenge,
especially for severely polluted regions with high aerosol concentration,
which is even more important and worthy of study. Here, ACI is first
implemented in the atmospheric chemistry model GRAPES_Meso5.1/CUACE by allowing for real-time aerosol activation in the Thompson
cloud microphysics scheme. Two experiments are conducted focusing on a haze
pollution case with coexisting high aerosol and stratus cloud over the
Jing–Jin–Ji region in China to investigate the impact of ACI on the
mesoscale numerical weather prediction (NWP). Study results show that
ACI increases cloud droplet number concentration, water mixing ratio,
liquid water path (CLWP), and optical thickness (COT), as a result
improving the underestimated CLWP and COT (reducing the mean bias by 21 %
and 37 %, respectively) over a certain subarea by the model without ACI.
A cooling in temperature in the daytime below 950 hPa occurs due to ACI, which can
reduce the mean bias of 2 m temperature in the daytime by up to 14 %
(∼ 0.6 ∘C) in the subarea with the greatest change in
CLWP and COT. The 24 h cumulative precipitation in this subarea
corresponding to moderate-rainfall events increases, which can reduce the mean
bias by 18 %, depending on the enhanced melting of the snow by more cloud
droplets. In other areas or periods with a slight change in CLWP and COT,
the impact of ACI on NWP is not significant, suggesting the
inhomogeneity of ACI. This study demonstrates the critical role of
ACI in the current NWP model over the severely polluted region and the
complexity of the ACI effect.
Aerosol Optical Depth Retrievals over Thick Smoke Aerosols using GOES-17
Authors: Xue Zhixin , Christopher Sundar
Published: November 2022

Abstract. Severe wildfires generate thick smoke plumes, which degrade particulate matter air quality near the surface. Satellite measurements provide spectacular views of these smoke aerosols and Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), a columnar measure of aerosol concentration widely used in assessing air quality near the surface. However, these thick smoke plumes often go undetected in satellite imagery, creating missing gaps in these high-pollution areas. In this study, we develop a new algorithm to detect and retrieve AOD from GOES-17 and compare these estimates with the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET), MODIS Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction (MAIAC), and the current GOES Operational Aerosol Optical Depth (OAOD) product. Using the clear-sky reflectance composite approach to retrieve surface reflectance, AOD accuracy increases 2 %–7 % on different days for optically thin aerosols. We also found that adding information from the red channel in AOD retrieval brings more uncertainties for low AOD retrieval but increased accuracy for high AOD retrieval. After relaxing the maximum detectable AOD values, the number of valid AOD retrievals increases by 80 %, and the accuracy also increases by about 4 % compared to AERONET AOD. Our approach to retrieving AOD has a 386,091 ~ 937,210 square kilometer increase in valid AOD values each day.
