Authors: Józefowicz Anna
Published: March 2024

Przedmiotem tekstu czynię wybrane książki adresowane do dzieci w młodszym wieku szkolnym, w których obecna jest tematyka praw dziecka w odwołaniu do Konwencji o Prawach Dziecka jak również praw człowieka w odniesieniu do Powszechnej Deklaracji Praw Człowieka. Sięgając po metodę analizy treści stosowaną w metodologii badań jakościowych, dokonuję analizy i interpretacji treści książek najnowszych (II dekady XXI wieku), zarówno pisarzy polskich jak i obcojęzycznych. Podejmuję się próby odpowiedzi na pytania: czy i w jaki sposób książki poddane analizie, mogą służyć dziecku w rozumieniu i świadomy korzystaniu ze swoich praw? na jakie prawa człowieka jest w wybranych książkach położony akcent?;  na ile analizowane książki są otwarte na dyskusje z czytelnikiem? Tekst jest złożony z dwóch części. W pierwszej, prezentuję istniejący stan wiedzy w naukach społecznych i humanistycznych, na temat braku kategorii dzieciństwa na przestrzeni dziejów oraz jak toczył się proces formowania podmiotowości dziecka, dając początek zapisywaniu jego praw.W drugiej części tekstu prezentuję wnioski z analiz treści wybranej literatury dziecięcej. Wskazuję literaturę, w której dziecko traktowane jest podmiotowo- jako obywatel „tu i teraz”; literaturę, która może służyć pomocą w planowaniu pracy opiekuńczo- wychowawczej pedagogom, rodzicom, osobom które troszczą się o ochronę jednostkowości dziecka.
Czy książki beztekstowe są demokratyczne?
Authors: Kuczaba-Flisak Magdalena
Published: March 2024

Artykuł podejmuje problematykę beztekstowych książek obrazkowych, analizując ją na tle przemian w postrzeganiu wirtualnego odbiorcy oraz uwarunkowanych kulturowo sposobów komunikacji, ze szczególnym odniesieniem do sytuacji czytelniczych, podczas których kontakt z książką mają małe dzieci wraz z towarzyszącymi im dorosłymi pośrednikami lektury. Wywód otwiera przywołanie zainicjowanego dziesięć lat temu przez IBBY projektu Silent Books: from the world to Lampedusa and back i krytyczne przyjrzenie się założeniom projektu zakładającym demokratyczność narracji, która przekazywana jest poprzez same obrazy. Następnie refleksji poddano status odbiorcy beztekstowej książki obrazkowej, znaczenie obecności pośrednika lektury dziecięcej oraz zjawiska, które pozwalają zastanawiać się, czy przekaz książki jest w swojej istocie demokratyczny czy hierarchiczny. Osobną część artykułu zajmuje analiza wyselekcjonowanych, reprezentatywnych przykładów beztekstowych książek obrazkowych, które pokazują skalę rozpiętości pomiędzy podejmowanymi przez różnych twórców strategiami, od pokazywania w narracji wizualnej dosłownego i literalnego przedstawiania rzeczywistości po posługiwanie się abstrakcją i kodowaniem znaczenia na wielu poziomach. We wnioskach końcowych uwypuklono, że pomimo operowania wyłącznie obrazami, lokalne sposoby patrzenia są zawsze narzucaniem określonego obrazu świata, stąd demokratyczny dostęp do treści książek beztekstowych jest projektem utopijnym – a przestaje nim być tylko w przypadku, gdy proces ich odbioru potraktujemy jako wielomodalną interpretację dokonywaną w materii języka, która uprawnia równoczesne zaistnienie wielu różnych punktów widzenia.

Authors: Ariyani Rizki Silvia , Ikaningrum Rini Estiyowati , Arochman Taufik
Published: March 2024

The pandemic forced students to study from home, resulting in a lack of direct interaction with teachers. When students returned to school, teachers had to start guiding them from scratch using various teaching strategies. These strategies included discussion and self-monitoring. The purpose of the study was to find out the significant difference of self-monitoring strategies on the students' narrative text speaking ability. A quasi-experimental design was used, with the experimental group receiving the self-monitoring strategy and the control group using discussion strategy. The researchers conducted a study at SMPN 4 Magelang, Central Java. The result of the study showed that there was no significant difference between using self-monitoring strategies and using discussion strategies on students' narrative text speaking ability. However, the self-monitoring strategy had positive effects, such as increasing confidence and reducing fear of speaking in English. The researchers hope others will build on this study to evaluate speaking ability in different academic fields.

Abstrak—  Showroom mobil yang menjual mobil bekas dengan harga yang lebih terjangkau salah satunya ada di kota Bengkulu di showroom IG Mobilindo yang menawarkan berbagai macam jenis mobil bekas yang dapat dibeli oleh masyarakat setempat. Sebelum  melakukan  proses  jual  beli  mobil  bekas  tentu  perlu dilakukan   proses   screening   terhadap   mobil yang   diinginkan   oleh konsumen mulai jenis mobil yang diinginkan, merek serta spesifikasi mengenai mobil bekas yang akan dibeli oleh konsumen. Pada tahap ini showroom  IG  Mobilindo  masih  dilakukan  secara  langsung  oleh  sales untuk membantu menjelaskan mobil bekas yang akan dipromosikan. Hal ini  seringkali  mengalami  kendala  dalam  memilih  mobil  yang  sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan keinginan konsumen, karena banyaknya variasi jenis, merek dan harga dari mobil bekas tersebut membuat konsumen kurang   leluasa   dalam   memilih   mobil   bekas   yang   sesuai   dengan keinginanya. Hal tersebut membuat konsumen hanya bergantung pada pemilihan yang dipilih oleh pihak showroom. Hal ini juga berakibat pada lamanya waktu yang dibutuhkan sales untuk mencocokkan keinginan konsumen dikarenakan mobil harus dipromosikan dan dijelaskan satu persatu. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk  merancang  dan  membangun  sebuah  sistem  e-katalog  sebagai media informasi mobil bekas untuk memudahkan konsumen dan sales dalam proses pemilihan mobil. Metode pengembangan sistem yang digunakan adalah Rapid Application Depelovment (RAD), metode perancangan sistem menggunakan Diagram Konteks, Data Flow Diagram (DFD) dan Entity Relation Diagram (ERD) serta pengujian sistem menggunakan pengujian alpha dan pengujian Beta.

Authors: T Muthu Venkat , Vijayalakshmi Vijayalakshmi , Pramila Pramila
Published: March 2024

The microsatellite instability (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) colorectal tumors recently have been reported that can benefit from immunotherapy, and MSI can be used as a genetic instability of a tumor detection index. Many studies have shown that there are many heterogeneous phenomena in patients with MSI tumors in terms of immunotherapy, prognosis and chemotherapy sensitivity. Here we mainly review the research results of MSI detection methods, its mechanisms, occurrence and its relationship with related tumors, aiming in such a way for brief analysis of the micro satellite instability. Microsatellites (MS) are the repeated sequences of DNA that play an important role in maintaining the tissue morphology. Any mutation of the DNA or chromosomes, lead to the instability of the microsatellites, thereby causing the microsatellite instability. There are three types of microsatellite instability (MSI). High microsatellite instability (MSI-H), low microsatellite instability (MSI-L) and microsatellite stability (MSS). Recent clinical research tends to classify MSS-L and MSS as similar. Microstaellite instability plays an important role in colorectal carcinoma. Based on different molecular mechanisms, MSI in colorectal cancer can be divided into colorectal cancer (CRC) with no obvious family genetic history and Lynch syndrome with non-polyposis with family genetic history. Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder and syndrome caused by mutations in MMR strains, and it can also cause tumors in other parts of the colon and rectum. With the recent development of MSI detection technology and immunosuppressant in tumor therapy, researchers found that MSI-H tumors respond well to immunotherapy. There are several methods to detect the microsatellite instability. 1. Next Generation sequencing (NGS), 2. Fluoresence multiplex PCR and capillary electrophoresis. 3. Immunohistochemistry. 4. Single molecule- molecular inversion probes (SmMIP). The main mechanism of MSI includes, Slipped strand mispairing, MMR deficient.

Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND : Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the major problems faced by the health system. Diabetes is a multifactorial, chronic and progressive metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. Persistent hyperglycemia is associated with long-term damage to the  liver. Ultrasound elastography is one of imaging modality that can assess liver stiffness, thus can assist clinicians in determining therapy, evaluating, and predicting disease progression.
AIMS :  Aim of this study was to determine the relationship between liver stiffness degree by using ultrasound elastography with the duration of T2DM and HbA1c levels.
METHOD : This study was an observational analytic research with a cross-sectional approach which carried out from May to September 2022 at the radiology department of Dr. Kariadi Hospital Semarang. Fifty subjects were included in this study and Rank-Spearman correlation test was used to analyze the relationship between liver stiffness degree with T2DM duration and HbA1c levels.
RESULT :  Using ultrasonography elastography, the liver stiffness average was 7.92 + 6.72 kPa. The average of HbA1c levels was 8.55 + 2.63%. T2DM duration average was 9.10 + 6.50 years.   The rank-spearman test showed a significant correlation between HbA1c levels and the degree of liver stiffness (p = 0.000) with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.68. There was no significant correlation between the T2DM duration and the degree of liver stiffness (p = 0.052).
CONCLUSION : There was a significant correlation between liver stiffness and HbA1c levels, but there is no correlation between liver stiffness and T2DM duration

Introduction: Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis in children can cause orbital complications, either directly through fissures or indirectly through veins. Proper treatment can reduce morbidity due to orbital complications.
Case: Two cases of orbital complications in pediatric acute bacterial rhinosinusitis caused by adenoid hypertrophy and dental infection. The first case of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis with periorbital cellulitis and left premaxillary abscess accompanied by adenoid hypertrophy and multiple pulp gangrene. The second case of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis with subperiosteal abscess accompanied by adenoid hypertrophy and multiple dental caries. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), abscess drainage, adenoidectomy and odontectomy were performed. The culture results of the first patient were Streptococcus anginosus, and it was resistant to tetracycline. Meanwhile, the culture results of the second patient, Staphylococcus epidermidis, were resistant to amoxiclav, ampicillin, cefoxitin, oxacillin, penicillin G, and tetracyclin.
Conclusion: Acute rhinosinusitis with orbital complications can caused by adenoid hypertrophy and dental infection. Medical treatment with adequate antibiotic followed by FESS, abscess drainage, adenoidectomy and odontectomy give an optimal result.

Authors: Wibisono Kukuh , Handoyo Rudy , Setiawati Erna
Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND : Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a joint disease with a high prevalence among the elderly. OA can cause balance disorders, which are one of the main causes of falls in the elderly. Balance can be measured using several scoring systems, one of which is the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). One of the treatment modalities for OA is laser therapy which is non-invasive and easy to apply. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been widely used in patients with knee OA, but recently high intensity laser therapy (HILT) has begun to be used in physical therapy with advantages over a wider range and depth.
AIMS :  to compare the effect of LLLT and HILT therapy on improving functional balance in the elderly with knee OA.
METHOD : This research is a randomized controlled trial pre-test and post-test-controlled group design. The sampling method used in this study is the simple random sampling method. The sample size was 27 subjects and divided into two groups, the LLLT group (n=14) and the HILT group (n=13). Each subject received laser therapy sessions 2 times a week for 4 weeks. Balance was assessed using the BBS before and after the intervention.
RESULT :  There was an increase in BBS scores before and after treatment in the HILT group (p<0.001) and in the LLLT group (p<0.001), with the increase in the HILT group (7.79 ± 2.16) significantly greater than in the LLLT group (3 .08 ± 0.76) (p<0.001).
CONCLUSION : HILT improves balance score better than LLLT.

The intervention took place three times per week for five weeks. We used POCT to assess blood sugar levels.
Results:  There is no significant decrease in blood sugar levels from control group (p>0.05). There is significant decrease in blood sugar levels from foot exercise and hydrotherapy intervention group (p<0.05) and foot exercise intervention group (p<0.05). The difference in blood sugar levels showed significant results between foot exercise and hydrotherapy intervention group and control group (p=0.000) and between foot exercise intervention group and control group (p=0.004). There is no significant differences in blood sugar levels between foot exercise and hydrotherapy intervention group and foot exercise intervention group (p=0.112).
Conclusion: Simple exercise activities such as foot exercises together with hydrotherapy have been proven to reduce blood sugar levels in healthy elderly populations without diabetes
Features of hydrogen cracking process of heat-strengthened reinforcing steels
Authors: Kutepov S.N.
Published: March 2024

The effect of heat treatment of reinforcing steels of St5, 18GS, 20GS, 23Kh2G2Ts, 30GST and 35GS grades on the change in their resistance to hydrogen cracking is considered. For St5 steel, it was found that an increase in the tempering temperature contributes to an increase in resistance to cracking by obtaining a highly plastic structure with an increased ability to relax internal microstresses. For 30GST and 35GS steels, optimal heat treatment modes are determined to ensure their resistance to hydrogen cracking. For 30GST steel, this mode is quenching from 900 °C with cooling in water + tempering with electrical heating at 500 °C, and for 35GS steel — triple heat treatment of the type of intercritical quenching from temperatures of 900/700 °C or 800/700 °C, followed by tempering at temperatures of 300 or 400 °C, respectively and heat treatment from 900 °C with double tempering (from 400 °C (furnace heating) and 500 °C (electrothermal hardening)). The features of the destruction process of reinforcing steels in an environment causing hydrogen cracking are considered. It is shown that the propagation of corrosion cracks has a mixed character (transcrystalline and intercrystallite).

For communities, culture is not only a natural product of long-standing daily life but also a binding force that interconnects the interpersonal relationships among the community’s inhabitants. This is particularly evident in centralized unitary communities where work and life are seamlessly integrated. However, with economic development and the transformation of the social structure, the unitary community model no longer aligns with the evolving needs of social development. As a result, it must undergo a transformation into a modern community that meets multiple needs. During the regeneration process, there has been a notable focus on the creation of space within the community, often at the expense of its cultural values. In this context, we have chosen six unitary communities in Beijing’s Dongba Township as a sample. Drawing from cultural regeneration theory, our approach revolves around recreating space with community culture as its core. This approach involves not only integrating culture into the physical space but also reshaping the interpersonal network of the community through culture. Finally, we propose four regeneration models, namely, “Spatial Regeneration – Recreating the Spirit of Place,” “Community Renewal – Diverse Expressions of Community Culture,” “Vitality Regeneration – Enhancing the Cultural Supply,” and “Social Regeneration – Reshaping the Social Network.” These models aim to contribute to the rejuvenation of the community and provide references for the regeneration of old urban neighborhoods.

The process of urbanization continues to accelerate, placing an increasing burden on the urban environment through the transportation sector. To address this challenge, the Beijing Municipal Transportation Bureau has introduced the Traffic Transport Environment Monitoring Information Platform, which aims to strengthen the monitoring and management of the transportation environment by facilitating flexible management and control of the transportation planning and implementation process through timely diagnostics and dynamic feedback. It represents a technologically innovative measure designed toward establishing and improving the dynamic predictive power of transport planning and monitoring in Beijing. This study thoroughly examines the design and implementation of the platform, providing detailed insights into its overall framework, data collection, and processing mechanisms, as well as strategies for data sharing and utilization. Through an analysis grounded in stakeholder theory, the study demonstrates the effectiveness and practicability of the platform. By prioritizing stakeholder demands, the study not only contributes to transportation planning technology theory but also holds pioneering significance for the practical implementation of transport environment monitoring information platforms in cities across China.

Long-term data from 449 herbicide trials across Germany from 1995–2022 were used to characterise the weed composition in sugar beet cultivation. The assessments of 1782 untreated control plots showed local weed species composition and weed pressure. The most common weeds were Chenopodium album (82.3% of all plots), Polygonum convolvulus (52.2%) and Galium aparine (25%). The average number of weed species in the field trials decreased from 4.9 in 1995 to 2.6 in 2022, significantly influenced by trial location and year. The occurrence of the most frequent weeds has also changed. C. album and P. convolvulus increased while G. aparine and Matricaria chamomilla decreased. Possible reasons for these changes are different tillage systems and intensities as well as changes in crop rotation with decreased crop diversity. Herbicide treatments and different active ingredients also affect the occurrence and proportion of weeds. The trial sites were assigned to clusters accounting for climate attributes and soil properties to identify regional differences in weed infestation. Regions with low soil quality, high temperatures and low precipitation had higher weed diversity, presumably due to low crop cover and, thus, lower weed suppression. The proportion of C. album was very high in all regions because it can grow under a wide range of environmental conditions. For P. convolvulus, significant regional differences existed in its proportion of total weed infestation. Its importance was lower in regions with poorer soils.
Optimizing Machine Learning Models for Urinary Tract Infection Diagnostics: A Comparative Study of Logistic Regression and Random Forest

Published: March 2024

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) present a significant healthcare challenge due to their prevalence and diagnostic complexity. Timely and accurate diagnosis is critical for effective treatment, yet traditional methods like microbial cultures and urinalysis are often slow and inconsistent. This study introduces machine learning (ML) as a transformative solution for UTI diagnostics, particularly focusing on logistic regression and random forest models renowned for their interpretability and robustness. We conducted a meticulous hyperparameter tuning process using a rich dataset from a clinic in Northern Mindanao, Philippines, incorporating demographic, clinical, and urinalysis data. Our research outlines a detailed methodology for applying and refining these ML models to predict UTI outcomes accurately. Through comprehensive hyperparameter optimization, we enhanced the predictive performance, demonstrating a significant improvement over standard diagnostic practice. The findings reveal a clear superiority of the random forest model, achieving a top testing accuracy of 0.9814, compared to the best-performing logistic regression model's accuracy of 0.7626. This comparative analysis not only validates the efficacy of ML in medical diagnostics but also emphasizes the potential clinical impact of these models in real-world settings. The study contributes to the burgeoning literature on ML applications in healthcare by providing a blueprint for optimizing ML models for clinical use, particularly in diagnosing UTIs. It underscores the promise of ML in augmenting diagnostic precision, thereby potentially reducing the global healthcare burden associated with UTIs.
Kill your Darlings (Working Title)

The following think piece explores what it means to exist in a culture of idols by questioning the universalistic practice of canonization. By rejecting homogenous Eurocentric thinking, this piece makes room for the voices of plurality and collective thinking with each other. To this end, it relies on feminist praxis to criticize the genius-based, self-contained understanding of creativity and success perpetuating within contemporary scientific research. Indeed, it presents a case for cultivating cultures of failure within academia and demonstrates with its own stylistic development how cultivating a stream of thoughts can speak to the fragmented and collective nature of the entangled process of thinking and writing.

It is the nature of the game and the activity that determines the characteristic of the manifestation of fatigue according to what is required by the neuromuscular work in it, as well as the changes that occur in the functional variables and the time of the differential threshold. The location of each activity and the game of these teams have been studied in a special table for energy production systems as a result of continuous changes in their laws, and are considered within the energy systems such as the anaerobic system (Phosphagine) and lactic acid for (800) m runners - freestyle swimmers (200) m in the physical effort till fatigue. The comparison in the important functional indicators for them, and the research methodology embodied in the way of working through the method used, which is the descriptive method in comparison then, the researchers identified the research community for the young national team athletes for freestyle wrestling, and the national team(800)m runners, as well as of the national team in (200) m swimming for the sports season (2022-2023), A total of 21 athletes were selected in an organized manner and distributed into three equal groups (7 athletes) for each of the three types of sports (wrestler, 200-meter swimming and 800-meter running)., and the researchers would conduct tests for the research variables biochemical for the sample members, as well as some variables that have an impact on the results of the study such as (height, age, weight, and the age of training ), and the homogenization of the research sample members was carried out. The results of statistical treatments were presented, analyzed, and discussed, supported by sources.
The most important conclusions were that most of the activities and the variation of values are very essential biochemical indicators. The differences were significant and the positive variation in accordance to the type of sport or activity, and the last variation between the activities in terms of comparison in these variables is due to the nature and specificity in terms of the intensity of the resistances and direct and indirect friction For competitors and the expenditure of energy stored in muscles. Finally, the researchers recommended knowing the most important biochemical indicators in these events and sports as they reflect a clear picture of the individuals' internal preparations and functional responses.
