PREDIKSI PENERIMAAN SNMPTN MENGGUNAKAN ALGORITMA C4.5 DAN NAIVE BAYES
Authors: Purnamasari Indah , Suryani Indah
Published: June 2024

School is a formal education unit where teachers teach various disciplines which aim to make students become superior human beings. Education is important for humans. In general, people in Indonesia want their sons and daughters to be able to get an education at State Universities (PTN). There are many paths that can be taken to PTN, one of which is the National Selection for State University Entrance (SNMPTN) which is the PTN entrance route without a test or selection of report cards. However, the quota for acceptance of PTN through the SNMPTN pathway is at least 20% and the passing grade of each PTN cannot be determined so that the possibility of being accepted into PTN through the SNMPTN route is unknown. Therefore, to be able to predict students who can be accepted into PTN through the SNMPTN path, predictions of SNMPTN acceptance are made using classification data mining with the C4.5 and Naive Bayes algorithm. The goal is that with students knowing the possibility of being accepted into PTN through the SNMPTN pathway, it is hoped that more students can be accepted by PTN through the SNMPTN pathway. This study shows that the prediction of PTN acceptance through the SNMPTN path using data mining classification with the C4.5 algorithm produces a much higher accuracy of 85,09% and the AUC value 0,873, while the Naive Bayes algorithm produces an accuracy of 63,01% and the AUC value.

This research investigates the factors that influence students' decisions to withdraw from campus with the aim of developing strategies to increase student participation through the application of the decision tree method. Decision Trees are used to form decision trees that are easy to interpret and enable statistical pattern recognition. Research is based on UKT group criteria, social studies and GPA scores, student semesters, and credits taken. Research data was taken through a literature study from the Kaggle web platform regarding the number of students who withdrew. The research results show that the highest rate of resignation occurs among students who are not active in organizations. Even though students with a GPA in the range of 3.00-3.78 experienced withdrawal, the findings confirmed that GPA was not the main reason. The smallest UKT group (2-3) shows a lower withdrawal rate than the largest UKT group. This confirms that students who are less active in organizations are the students who resign the most. As a strategy to increase student participation, research recommends that students increase awareness and promote organizational activities, lecturers can create coaching and guidance programs, academic support. This strategy can help create a campus environment that supports student participation in organizational activities.

Gresik Regency is one of the regencies in East Java province with a geographical location directly adjacent to the coast of the Java Sea. The amount of milkfish cultivation that can be produced from ponds located on the north coast of Gresik Regency has a high potential value to be utilized as processed fish products. One of the most widely produced processed fish products is milkfish crackers. The availability of easily obtained raw materials does not make it difficult to process fish crackers. Drying crackers by drying in the sun will run smoothly in hot weather or dry season. However, when entering the rainy season, there are often many obstacles, namely the heat of the sun that does not match what is needed, such as cloudy weather and even if it suddenly rains, which sometimes causes mold on the crackers because there is not enough time to take the crackers that are being dried. The drying process must always be supervised directly by humans, besides that there are several types of crackers with different compositions that have different drying times. This tool is enabled to recognize the weather including light intensity, air temperature, and rainfall so that it is considered more efficient to use during the rainy season. The user simply puts the fish crackers on the clothesline and when the tool recognizes rainy or cloudy conditions, the fish cracker clothesline will be pulled by an electric motor to be put into the room. When the user is away, the clothesline can also be monitored and controlled remotely. As a result, the IoT-based Automatic Cracker Clothesline System can recognize whether the weather is sunny, hot, or rainy. The system can also extend the clothesline automatically when the weather is sunny or hot, the system can pull the clothesline when it rains or cloudy automatically. The system can send notifications to the smartphone according to the weather conditions and the position of the clothesline being pulled or extended in realtime, the system can display the indicators of each sensor to the smartphone. Users can also enter the drying time and minimum temperature range into the system. As a result, the system can run well to recognize the weather around the cracker clothesline and can insert crackers when it is raining, cloudy or when the drying time has expired automatically.

Authors: Altay Şafak
Published: June 2024

Çevresel, ekonomik ve sosyal boyutlarıyla sürdürülebilirlik konusu toplumu ilgilendiren sorunlar temelinde dünyada son zamanlarda sıklıkla irdelenmektedir. Sürdürülebilirlik, özellikle işletmelerin dikkate alması gereken konu olarak görülebilir. Ancak bütün insanları etkileyen olumlu ve olumsuz durumları ihtiva etmesi nedeniyle sürdürülebilirlik, birey olarak tüketicilerin de dikkate alması gereken konulardan biridir. Gelecek nesillere daha iyi bir gelecek bırakmak için verilen tüketim kararlarının sürdürülebilirlik hedefleriyle uyumluluğunu gösteren sürdürülebilir tüketim, bu açıdan sürdürülebilirliğin tüketicilere düşen kısmını göstermektedir. Sürdürülebilir tüketimin gerçekleşebilmesi için bireylerin sahip olduğu insani değerler önem arz etmektedir. Mevcut çalışmada insani değerlerin sürdürülebilir tüketime yönelik tutum ve satın alma istekliliği üzerinde doğrudan ve düzenleyici etkilerini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada veriler nicel yöntemlerle elde edilmiş olup değişkenler arası ilişkiler kovaryans esaslı yapısal eşitlik modellemesi (CB-SEM) ile test edilmiştir. Bulgulara göre insani değerlerin tutumlar üzerinde yordayıcılığının olduğu; ancak düzenleyici etkilerinin olmadığı görülmüştür. Çalışmanın bulguları ile literatürüne katkı sunması ve değerlerin sürdürülebilirlik bağlamında rolünün anlaşılmasını sağlaması öngörülmektedir.

Right-Sided Cardiac Thrombosis and Pulmonary Thromboembolism in Chronic Chagas Disease: A Review of Clinical Features and Post-Mortem Examination
Authors: Bestetti Reinaldo B. , Soares Marcelo José Ferreira , Furlan-Daniel Rosemary , Cardinalli-Neto Augusto , Nakazone Marcelo A.
Published: June 2024

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) is a potential major complication in patients with chronic Chagas heart disease (CChD). The source of PE is the right-sided chambers instead of deep vein thrombosis. Little is known regarding risk factors, clinical picture, and the clinical course of patients with PE secondary to CChD. The aim of this review was to try to provide doctors with such data. We searched for papers related to PE in CChD patients in the PUBMED from 1955 to 2020. Twenty-six manuscripts were retrieved, of which 12 fulfilled entry criteria and were included in the study. Right-sided cardiac thrombosis or PE was confirmed on morphological or imaging studies. A total of 431 patients with PE were reported. Age varied from 30 to 85 years. About 332 patients were reported to have chronic heart failure (CHF), whereas 41 (9%) sudden cardiac death (SCD) at autopsy. Clinical manifestations reported were sudden onset dyspnea was found in 1 patient, haemoptysis in 2, worsening CHF in 2, and chest pain in 1. An X-ray chest was reported for 6 patients: abnormalities consistent with PE were found in 3. The resting electrocardiogram (ECG) was reported for 5 patients: it was abnormal in all. One study reported a mean left ventricular ejection fraction of 42.1 ± 18.7%. The prevalence of right-sided cardiac thrombosis varied from 66% to 85% patients. PE was the cause of death in 17% of patients. The clinical diagnosis of PE in patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy (ChCM) is very difficult in the absence of a prediction score that performs well. However, in the presence of haemoptysis or worsening heart failure (HF), abnormal ECG, or chest X-ray, the diagnosis of PE should be raised, and patients promptly referred to detailed Doppler Tissue Echocardiography and computed tomography angiography, and treated in a timely manner.
Entrepreneurial mindset and SME performance: The mediating role of entrepreneurial behavior
Authors: Juniardi Juniardi , Sarwoko Endi , Sahertian Pieter
Published: June 2024

This study aims to examine the effect of an entrepreneurial mindset on SME performance and explore the mediating role of entrepreneurial behavior from an Attribution Theory perspective. The study explains that entrepreneurial behavior mediates entrepreneurial mindset and SME performance. This adds depth to the understanding of the mechanisms through which mindset impacts performance, shedding light on the importance of actual behavior in translating mindset into tangible outcomes. To accomplish these objectives, a quantitative research approach was adopted. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to owners/managers of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). To analyze the data and test the proposed hypotheses, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed due to its suitability for exploring complex relationships with relatively small sample sizes. The dataset comprised responses from 382 owners/managers of MSMEs. Our findings suggest that while having an entrepreneurial mindset is crucial for performance, entrepreneurial behavior acts as the intermediary, guiding and directing the impact of mindset on actual business outcomes. In conclusion, by confirming Attribution Theory within the entrepreneurial context, this study extends the theory's applicability beyond traditional domains.
Exploring the synergy of neuroleadership and Islamic values in shaping Generation Z leaders: A mixed method analysis

Published: June 2024

The synergy of neuroleadership and Islamic values is crucial in addressing leadership challenges posed by Generation Z, particularly in combating toxic leadership, negative culture, and turnover. Generation Z's unique behaviors require leaders who combine neuroleadership and Islamic values to inspire and create positive environments. However, a lack of studies in Indonesia, the largest Muslim-majority country, highlights a significant research gap. Using a mixed-method approach, this study investigates how Islamic values and neuroleadership influence leadership skill development. We conducted focus group discussions with 60 participants and surveyed 317 active members of the biggest Islamic organization in Indonesia, aged 17–23, to test the hypotheses. The results show that both neuroleadership and Islamic values affect leadership skills. Among the eight neuroleadership indicators, transfer and caring are the most influential in shaping leadership skills. Additionally, in accordance with Islamic values, fairness and tolerance are key factors for effective leadership. Generation Z seeks to be heard and understood. While they may lack problem-solving skills, they excel in fairness, tolerance, and relationships.

Authors: Kurnia Lusi , Saifi Muhammad , Damayanti Cacik Rut
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the impact of corporate governance attributes, particularly the board of directors and audit committee, on the firm value of property and real estate companies in Indonesia. Additionally, this study introduces the novel exploration of audit report lag as a mediating factor in the relationship between corporate governance and firm value. Utilizing a quantitative approach, secondary data were extracted from the financial statements of property and real estate companies. The study employed a purposive sampling technique, resulting in a sample of 26 companies listed on the IDX for 2018-2022. In this study, inferential statistical analysis is conducted using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique. The findings reveal that corporate governance attributes, including the board of directors and audit committee, significantly enhance firm value. Furthermore, audit report lag mediates the effect of the audit committee on firm value but does not mediate the effect of the board of directors. This implies that while the audit committee plays a crucial role in reducing audit report lag, thereby enhancing firm value, the board of directors may influence firm value through different mechanisms not captured by audit report lag.
Leading innovation in public sector: Exploring the mediating role of motivation to learn and the moderating role of power distance
Authors: Sugandi Ramdan Fatra , Etikariena Arum
Published: June 2024

Innovation is crucial for the performance, success, and long-term survival of organizations. Despite its importance, studies on factors influencing the emergence of innovative work behavior remain inconsistent. This study, grounded in the interactionist perspective of creativity theory, explores the role of motivation to learn as a mediator and Hofstede's national culture dimension of power distance as a moderator in the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative work behavior. The study sampled 210 public sector employees in Indonesia using convenience sampling. Data were collected through an online self-report survey, employing the multifactor leadership questionnaire, the innovative work behavior scale, the motivation to learn scale, and the power distance scale. Analysis conducted using the PROCESS macro for SPSS version 26 revealed that motivation to learn fully mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative work behavior. However, power distance does not moderate this relationship, either directly or through the motivation to learn. This is due to the fact that the desire to learn and innovate remains effective regardless of hierarchical differences. Thus, no matter how authority is structured within the organization, the crucial factor for fostering innovation is the motivation to learn.

The phenomenon of “leaky gut” or increased intestinal permeability has been actively studied over the past two decades. Its role has been proven in the development of irritable bowel syndrome and a number of other intestinal pathologies. At the same time, more and more information is accumulating on the effect of “leaky gut” on the occurrence and progression of liver diseases. This article presents a literature review of recent materials on the relationship between the intestine and the liver through the phenomenon of “leaky gut” and new potential points for therapeutic intervention.

Post-Covid syndrome (PCS) is considered as a consequence of a previous coronavirus infection. The liver in COVID-19 is one of the most frequently affected organs, with the development of asthenia, cognitive impairment, as well as increased activity of alanine and aspartic transaminases (ALT and AST), which persist in some patients up to 4-6 months after discharge from the hospital. The cause of asthenia may be hyperammonemia (HA), which in COVID-19 is a manifestation of liver dysfunction against the background of the direct cytotoxic effect of SARS-CoV-2 on hepatocytes, which was previously shown as part of the clinical observational program protocol “LIRA - COVID”. Due to the great relevance of the problem of the combination of PCS, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and HA a post-hoc analysis of the observational clinical program LIRA - COVID was carried out. It was shown that NAFLD has a significant effect on the level of AST before the start of treatment with L-ornithine - L-aspartate (LOLA). The presence of NAFLD has a significant effect on ammonia levels after 14 days of treatment, since in the group of patients with NAFLD the ammonia level was significantly higher than in the group without NAFLD. It was concluded that it is advisable to include in the examination scheme of patients with PCS and NAFLD, determination of the level of ammonia in the blood, when elevated, the administration of the drug to such patients is justified LOLA course for 4 weeks at a standard dose of 9 g per day.

Infantile systemic hyalinosis (ISH) is a rare genetic disease, which is associated with ANTXR2 gene defect. The disease is characterized by progressive deposition of amorphous hyaline masses in various organs and tissues. The main distinguishing features of ISH include thickening of the skin, erythema or hyperpigmentation of bone prominences, damage to internal organs, persistent diarrhea, frequent severe infections and developmental delay. This article presents a case of ISH diagnosis in a patient aged 2 years, the key feature of which is the establishment of a diagnosis based on the evaluation of the results of endoscopic and morphological studies. The purpose of our work is to increase awareness and alertness of doctors of different specialties in such a rare disease.

Superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) in children is a rare cause of chronic duodenal obstruction (CDO), in which the inferior horizontal branch of the duodenum is compressed between the aorta and the acutely angled superior mesenteric artery. There are not many publications of clinical cases of SVBA in the literature, especially in the pediatric population. The main cause of the disease is weight loss due to various reasons, including anorexia nervosa, trauma, burns and other conditions. Currently, there is a frequent association of the syndrome with mental disorders. Literature data on the treatment of SVBA associated with various psychosomatic conditions vary; both conservative and surgical treatment methods are used. We present two clinical cases of SVBA in adolescent children, in which the cause of patient weight loss was concomitant mental disorders and previous surgical interventions. Both patients underwent laparoscopic side-to-side duodenojejunostomy with good long-term treatment results, confirmed during follow-up examination.

Foreign bodies (FB) of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) are a common problem in childhood, especially among children of younger age groups, due to the peculiarities of children’s development during this period. Purpose. To analyze the characteristics of FB in the gastrointestinal tract and the frequency of their diagnosis in children. Materials and methods. The analysis of the medical documentation of 378 children with an established diagnosis of FB in the gastrointestinal tract was carried out. The diagnosis was based on the results of studies: esophagogastroduodenoscopy, radiography (standard and using a water-soluble contrast agent), ultrasound diagnostics, computed tomography. The results of the study. The distribution of children with FB by age: children under 1 year - 12%, from 1 year to 3 years - 59%, from 3 to 6 years - 24%, 6-12 years - 5%. By gender: boys - 68%, girls - 32%. By localization: FB of the esophagus - 17%, stomach - 80%, duodenum - 3% of children. Characteristics of the extracted items: various small objects (coins, balls, toys) - 53%, batteries - 27%, magnets - 20%. Endoscopic FB was removed in 88% of children, conservative (FB came out naturally) - 10.5%, surgical - 1.5%. Conclusions. FB was most often detected in children aged 1 to 3 years (59%). There are twice as many boys as girls (68% and 32%, respectively). The most frequent localization is the stomach (80%). FB is most often represented by small toy parts, coins (53%), one in five children (20%) has a magnet, and one in four (27%) has a battery. The most common method of FB removal is endoscopic (88%).

According to modern concepts, chronic gastritis is a group of phenotypically similar diseases, the basis of which is the lesion of the gastric mucosa of different genesis and different regeneration potential. Of particular interest is the group of patients (children in the presented article) in whom gastric mucosa lesions are associated with the current infectious process caused by a combination of two causative factors - Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The data obtained as a result of the study of cellular and humoral immunity, autoimmunity and interferon system show significant disorders of immunological reactivity in children with chronic gastritis associated with H. pylori and VEB. The imbalance of T-lymphocyte subpopulations, impaired function of B-lymphocytes, dysimmunoglobulinemia and pronounced imbalance of interferon system with a significant decrease in induced synthesis of IFN-α and IFN-γ by blood leukocytes were revealed. The suppressive effect of VEB on various links of immunity was proved, which necessitates immunocorrective treatment. The results of the study may indicate the trigger role of VEB in the development of autoimmune gastritis.
Comorbidity of periodontal diseases and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Authors: Trukhan D. I.
Published: June 2024

Among dental pathologies, periodontal diseases occupy the 2nd place in prevalence after caries. The prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the general population in the world reaches 33.0% and is detected in all age categories. The presence of common risk factors suggests an indirect interaction between periodontitis and NAFLD, but the question of the possibility of direct interaction without the participation of “intermediaries” is relevant. The review examines the bidirectional relationship between periodontal pathology and NAFLD. The results of experimental and clinical studies indicate that periodontal bacteria, especially Porphyromonas gingivalis, correlate with the development of NAFLD. P. gingivalis has been detected in the liver, and LPS from this bacterium has been shown to be involved in the progression of NAFLD, suggesting a possible direct role of P. gingivalis in NAFLD. In addition, P. gingivalis causes disruption of the intestinal microbiocenosis, which contributes to the progression of NAFLD. There are two possible routes connecting the oral cavity and the liver - hematogenous and enteral diffusion of hepatotoxic components. The emerging concept of changes in the oral microbiota associated with periodontitis is closely related to the role of the mouth-gut-liver axis in the pathogenesis of NAFLD, based on the close relationship between the gut and liver connected by the enterohepatic circulation.

The aim. To evaluate the dynamics of metabolic status, functional state of the liver and endothelium in patients with metabolic syndrome on the background of menopausal hormone therapy (MGT). Materials and methods. 40 menopausal women were examined, of which 25 patients with metabolic syndrome with an average age of 51.2 ± 1.2 years and 15 practically healthy women of 50.2 ± 1.9 years. anamnesis was collected, the presence of vasomotor symptoms was assessed, anthropometric data was measured with the calculation of body mass index, laboratory examination, including determination of blood levels of sex hormones, functional liver tests, metabolic parameters and markers of endothelial dysfunction- endothelin-1, vascular endothelial growth factor, the number of desquamated endotheliocytes and the activity of Willebrand factor, instrumental examination, including ultrasound examination of the liver and assessment of the vascular response to local heating on the Microtest device (Russia), as well as calculation of the Hepatic steatosis index (HSI). Results. In patients with metabolic syndrome in menopause, vasomotor symptoms, complaints of dysuria, dyspeptic phenomena were observed, an increase in blood pressure was recorded in 60%, an increase in Kurlov’s ordinates in 24%, 36% were overweight, 64% were obese 1-2 degrees. According to ultrasound, liver steatosis was verified in 76% of patients, the HSI index >36.0 was in all women with MS. Against the background of estrogen deficiency, the course of menopause in women was accompanied by insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, increased alkaline phosphatase levels in 28% of individuals and endothelial dysfunction with impaired physiological response to local heating, increased vascular tone, increased thrombogenic potential of the vascular wall and activation of angiogenesis mechanisms. Conclusion: MGT with Femoston ® 1 in continuous mode in women with metabolic syndrome reduces the severity of menopausal syndrome, insulin resistance and liver steatosis, improves anthropometric parameters and functional characteristics of the liver and endothelium, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular events in this risk group.
