Purpose: The coexistence of TERT promoter and BRAFV600E mutations is strongly associated with high aggressiveness and poor prognosis in papillary thyroid carcinoma. The aim of this study was to construct a preoperative and postoperative predictive coexisting mutation model based on ultrasound and clinicopathological characteristics for the prognostic risk stratification of papillary thyroid cancer that can guide the choice of clinical treatment modalities.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of the ultrasound and clinicopathological characteristics of 113 patients with a surgical pathology of papillary thyroid carcinoma with TERT promoter and BRAFV600E gene testing results in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from December 2020 to August 2022. Correlations between ultrasound and clinicopathological characteristics and combined mutations were analyzed by univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression, independent predictors were screened, and nomograms were constructed. The performance of the risk prediction model was assessed by plotting receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC curves), calibration curves, and decision curves.
Results: The multivariate logistic regression analyses determined that tumor size (OR: 6.572; 95% CI 2.101-20.555, P=0.001), lateral lymph node metastasis (OR: 9.099; 95% CI 1.408-58.819, P=0.020) and microlobulated or ill-defined margins (OR: 14.092; 95% CI 1.598-124.250, P=0.017) were all independent predictors for the coexistence of BRAFV600E and TERT promoter mutations. Two models were established with the above three independent predictors to predict coexisting mutations in the preoperative and postoperative periods. The AUCs of the preoperative and postoperative prediction models were 0.781 (95% confidence interval, 0.781-0.951) and 0.875 (95% confidence interval, 0.830-0.970), respectively. The calibration curve and decision curves of the two prediction models had good calibration ability and good clinical practicability.
Conclusion: The established prediction model using ultrasound and clinicopathological characteristics can predict coexisting mutations before or after surgery, stratify prognostic risks and guide the choice of treatment.

Authors: Dolber Trygve , Muskin Ryan , Runnels Patrick
Published: October 2023

Background
Five percent of patients account for the majority of healthcare spend, but standardized interventions for this complex population struggle to generate return on investment.
Aim
Development and proof of concept of an adaptive intervention to reduce cost and improve health among a medically high-risk population.
Setting
The 35,000-member employee accountable care organization of University Hospitals Cleveland.
Participants
Members were identified using a risk algorithm and recruited by phone.
Methods /Program Description
A behaviorally-oriented, complexity framed, personalized care intervention was delivered using a consultative, team-based approach including a physician, counselor, dietitian and social worker in collaboration with nurse care coordinators. Iterative re-conceptualizations informed tailored treatment approaches to prevent acute decompensation while retraining behaviors that impeded recovery.
Results / Program Evaluation
Compared to risk-matched controls, both planned and unplanned health care expenditures significantly decreased for 7 high utilizers, and unplanned spend only significantly decreased for 19 standard utilizers. Risk scores, which predict future spend, decreased significantly for standard utilizers, but not for high utilizers.
Discussion
The value of a behaviorally-oriented, complexity framed, personalized care intervention for medically high-risk patients in a commercial insurance population was demonstrated. Further expansion, refinement, evaluation and scaling are warranted.

Published: October 2023

Background
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are responsible for 51% of total mortality in South Africa, with a rising burden of hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Incorporating NCD and COVID-19 screening into mass activities such as COVID-19 vaccination programs could offer significant long-term benefits for early detection interventions. However, there is limited knowledge of the associated costs and resources required. We evaluated the cost of integrating NCD screening and COVID-19 antigen rapid diagnostic testing (Ag-RDT) into a COVID-19 vaccination program.
Methods
We conducted a prospective cost analysis at three public sector primary healthcare clinics and one academic hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, conducting vaccinations. Participants were assessed for eligibility and recruited during May-Dec 2022. Costs were estimated from the provider perspective using a bottom-up micro-costing approach and reported in 2022 USD.
Results
Of the 1,376 enrolled participants, 240 opted in to undergo a COVID-19 Ag-RDT, and none tested positive for COVID-19. 138 (10.1%) had elevated blood pressure, with 96 (70%) having no prior HTN diagnosis. 22 (1.6%) were screen-positive for DM, with 12 (55%) having no prior diagnosis. The mean and median costs per person screened for NCDs were $2.53 (SD: 3.62) and $1.70 (IQR: $1.38-$2.49), respectively. The average provider cost per person found to have elevated blood glucose levels and blood pressure was $157.99 and $25.19, respectively. Finding a new case of DM and HTN was $289.65 and $36.21, respectively. For DM and DM + HTN screen-positive participants, diagnostic tests were the main cost driver, while staff costs were the main cost driver for - and HTN screen-positive and screen-negative participants. The mean and median cost per Ag-RDT was $6.13 (SD: 0.87) and $5.95 (IQR: $5.55-$6.25), with costs driven mainly by test kit costs.
Conclusions
We show the cost of finding new cases of DM and HTN in a vaccine queue, which is an essential first step in understanding the feasibility and resource requirements for such initiatives. However, there is a need for comparative economic analyses that include linkage to care and retention data to fully understand this cost and determine whether opportunistic screening should be added to general mass health activities.

Published: October 2023

In the direct laser deposition (DLD) process, it is common to employ constant processing parameters. The utilization of the constant parameters may lead to fluctuations in the dynamic evolution of the molten pool, primarily due to the intricate thermal effects involved, which will significantly impact the processing quality. To address this issue, this study proposed a closed-loop control approach that effectively modifies processing parameters in real-time by targeting on the molten pool transient area. The most suitable processing parameter to control the molten pool area was found to be the laser power by a set of orthogonal experiments. Then the dynamic response relationship between laser power and the molten pool area was mathematically characterized by a third-order transfer function model to simplify the complex physical model of the DLD process. Subsequently, a PID controller with a filtering coefficient and anti-windup compensation was chosen compared with the other controller. In the validation experiments, it was observed that the closed-loop processing group demonstrated improved stability in maintaining the molten pool transient area, with a notable decrease of 33.7% in variability compared to the open-loop processing group. As a result, the deposited layer of the closed-loop processing group exhibited a much more satisfying surface quality and heat affect zone than the open-loop group. This study provides a fundamental basis for improving the consistency of the direct laser deposition processing quality through the implementation of real-time feedback control of molten pool physics.

This study aimed to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of an innovative large-scale treated wastewater reuse for indirect groundwater recharge project that was implemented in the Kolar district of Southern India. The cost of the project and the agricultural benefits were obtained from various government organizations. The results of the study indicate a considerable increase in the cropped land area and productivity after the recycling period. The assured supply of water resulted in significant improvements in cropped area, cropping intensities, leading to higher revenues. Additionally, there was a boost in milk collection and related revenues, as well as a 6-fold increase in silk cocoon production. Year-round filled tanks resulted in > 25-fold increase in fish production, leading to higher revenues. Furthermore, the recycling project had a positive impact on employment opportunities, promoting sustainability, the local economy, and environmental responsibility. The cost-benefit analysis confirmed that the project's benefits exceeded the costs, with a net present value of ₹40,100 million rupees @ 5% and ₹27,103 @8% interest rates on fixed capital cost, and a benefit-cost ratio of 5.30 (@ 5%) and 4.26 (@ 8%). The recycling project could significantly enhance the agro-economic system and ensure food security and a circular economy.

Authors: Choudhury Shouhartha
Published: October 2023

Background: The Apetala 2/ethylene-responsive factor family has diverse functions that enhance development and torment resistance in the plant genome. In variation, the ethylene-responsive factor (ERF) family of TF’s genes is extensive in the crop genome. Generally, the plant-specific ethylene-responsive factor family may divided by the dehydration-responsive element-binding (DREB) subfamily. So, the AP2/ERF super-family demonstrated the repeated AP2 domain during growth. The sole AP2 domain function represents abiotic stress resistance. Also, the AP2 with B3 domain enhances during the replication of brassinosteroid.
Objective: The study objective is to investigate the Apetala 2/ethylene-responsive factor family in a model organism of the Arabidopsis thaliana for comparative analysis towards Solanum lycopersicum (Tomato), Brassica juncea (Indian and Chinese mustard), Zea mays L. (Maize) and Oryza sativa (Indian and Japanese Rice). So, examinations of the large AP2/ERF superfamily are mandatory to explore the Apetala 2 (AP2) family, ERF family, DREB subfamily, and RAV family involved during growth and abiotic stress stimuli in crops.
Methods: Therefore, perform bioinformatics and computational methods to the current knowledge of the Apetala 2/ethylene-responsive factor family and their subfamily in crop species. This method may be valuable for functional analysis of particular genes and their families in the plant genome.
Results: Observation data provided evidence of the Apetala 2/ethylene-responsive factor (AP2/ERF) superfamily and their subfamily present in Arabidopsis thaliana (Dicots) and compared with Solanum lycopersicum (Dicots), Brassica juncea (Dicots), Zea mays L. (Monocots) and Oryza sativa(Monocots). Also, remarks genes in Oryza sativa. This report upgraded the Apetala 2/ethylene-responsive factor (AP2/ERF) family in crop genomes. So, the analysis documented the conserved domain, motifs, and phylogenetic tree towards Dicots and Monocots species. Those outcomes will be valuable for future studies of the defensive Apetala 2/ethylene-responsive factor family in crops.
Conclusion: Therefore, the study concluded that the several species-specific TF genes in the Apetala 2/ethylene-responsive factor (AP2/ERF) in Arabidopsis thaliana and compared with crop-species of Solanum lycopersicum, Brassica juncea, Zea mays L. and Oryza sativa. Those plant-specific genes regulate during growth and abiotic stress control in plants. So, the study will provide extensive knowledge of the agronomic, economic, and ecological traits and possibly other benefits of crops.

Published: October 2023

Background
patient safety is a global priority and the European public procurement process is an essential vehicle for assessing the patient safety implications of new equipment, technology, and other products. One important factor contributing to patient safety issues is poor usability which is an important human factors concept measured by efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction. We sought to understand whether patient safety and human factors are considerations in healthcare technology procurement analyzing the case of infusion pumps as they use condition critically patient safety.
Methods
we reviewed infusion pump procurements in the Spanish Public Sector Procurement Database (PLACE). Sixty-three batches in 29 tenders for supplying 12.224 volumetric and syringe infusion pumps and consumables for an overall budget of 30.4M€ were identified. Requirements and scoring criteria for the selection of pumps were analyzed.
Results
concepts related to “ease of use” were identified in the selection requirements of 35 (55.6%) batches and in the criteria for the selection of pumps in 23 (36.5%) batches, and related to “intuitiveness” in the selection requirements of 35 (55.6%) batches and in the criteria in 10 (15.9%) batches. No method to evaluate the ease of use, intuitiveness, or usability was mentioned. A review of the procurement teams responsible for the evaluation of the tenders showed no reported human factors or patient safety expertise.
Conclusions
infusion pump procurement considers usability as a relevant criterion for selection. However, no human factor experts nor specific methods for evaluation of the technology in this field are usually defined. A potential room for refining the selection of healthcare technology in order to improve patient safety is detected.
The Impact of Mobile Health Interventions on Service Users' health outcomes and the role of health professions: A systematic review of systematic reviews- Protocol.
Authors: Alkhuzaimi Fathiya , Rainey Deborah , Wilson Christine Brown
Published: October 2023

Background
In recent years, mobile health tools have gained prominence in the global medical field. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions have demonstrated their impact on the management of healthcare service users' health. A pilot search revealed many systematic reviews on the effectiveness of mobile health tools on service users' health outcomes, but it was unclear how the role of healthcare professionals in promoting the adoption of mobile health may lead to improved outcomes. Therefore, this systematic review aims to synthesise existing systematic reviews that examine both the impact of mobile health interventions on service users' outcomes and the role of healthcare professionals in facilitating the adoption of mobile health solutions.
Methods
Five electronic databases will be searched: EMBASE, CINHAL Plus, Medline, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for systematic reviews exploring the impact of mobile health interventions on service users' outcomes and the role of healthcare professionals in facilitating the adoption of mobile health solutions. Systematic reviews published in English dated from 2015–2023 will be included. Screening and selection of the reviews against inclusion and exclusion criteria will be performed by three independent reviewers, as well as data extraction and quality assessment.
Discussion
Current systematic reviews in the field of mHealth have primarily focused on assessing the effectiveness of mHealth interventions for managing a range of conditions. While these reviews provide valuable input into the outcomes for mHealth, little is known about the impact of the involvement of health professions on service users’ outcomes when adopting mHealth. This systematic review of systematic reviews aims to bridge this critical gap in the literature by critically appraising and synthesising the evidence of mHealth interventions' impact on service user outcomes and the level of involvement of health professionals.

Reliability and Validity of the Chinese Version of the Limitations-Owning Intellectual Humility Scale
Authors: Li Biao , Hu Xiao
Published: October 2023

Background
Intellectual humility, which involves acknowledging one’s cognitive limitations and openness to new and challenging information, is considered a vital virtue for individual and societal outcomes, particularly in school contexts that emphasize intelligence and achievement. Despite its importance, research on intellectual humility in China is scarce. This study aims to develop and validate a Chinese version of the Limitations-Owning Intellectual Humility Scale (L-OIHS), a comprehensive measure of intellectual humility within the Chinese cultural context.
Methods
The study utilized four subsamples of undergraduate students from five universities in southern China. Sample 1 (n = 397) completed the Chinese version of the L-OIHS for exploratory factor analysis. Sample 2 (n = 305) completed the Chinese version of the L-OIHS for confirmatory factor analysis. Sample 3 (n = 696) completed the Chinese version of the L-OIHS, the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MCSD), and the closed-mindedness subscale of the Need for Cognitive Closure Scale (NFCCS) for criterion-related validity analysis. Sample 4 (n = 161) completed the Chinese version of the L-OIHS again after an eight-week interval for test-retest reliability analysis.
Results
The results of the exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the Chinese version of the L-OIHS had the same three-factor structure as the original English version, namely, love of learning, appropriate discomfort with intellectual limitations, and owning one’s intellectual limitations. These three factors explained 67.49% of the total variance, and the fit indices of this three-factor model were acceptable. Criterion-related validity results revealed a significant negative correlation between the total score and dimensions of the L-OIHS and closed-mindedness. The Cronbach’s α coefficients for the total score and dimensions of the L-OIHS ranged from 0.84 to 0.88. The test-retest reliability was also satisfactory, with a correlation coefficient of 0.72 after eight weeks.
Conclusion
This study provides a reliable and valid instrument for measuring intellectual humility in Chinese-speaking populations, offering practical applications for promoting intellectual humility across various domains.

Authors: Zabeirou Aliou , Adama Saidou , Didier Lassey James , Moussa Younoussa , Younnsa Hama , Abdoulaye Maman Bachir , Rachid Sani
Published: October 2023

Background
Ovarian mucinous cystadenoma represents 15–20% of all epithelial tumors of the ovary. They have good prognoses. Giant ovarian mucinous cystadenoma is rarely reported in developed countries because of the availability of advanced imaging technologies that lead to early diagnosis and treatment. In African countries, late medical consultation and limited resources lead to late diagnosis, with the discovery of giant ovarian cysts. Only a few cases of laparoscopic management of massive ovarian cysts have been reported in the medical literature.
Case presentation:
We present the case of a 64-year-old black African patient who complained of progressive abdominal distension for 2 years with intestinal transit disorders. An enhanced abdominopelvic CT scan revealed a giant ovarian cyst occupying the entire abdominopelvic cavity, which was approximately 55 cm wide. We performed a laparoscopic right salpingo-oophorectomy after aspirating the cyst without spilling its contents into the peritoneal cavity. The postoperative recovery of the patient was uneventful and she was discharged on the second postoperative day.
Conclusion
In low-income context, giant ovarian mucinous cystadenoma can be managed laparoscopically in safe conditions without spillage of its contents into the peritoneal cavity.
A High Wind Associated with Bow Echo Mesovortex over Cimenyan, Indonesia
Authors: Yulihastin Erma
Published: October 2023

The high wind was noticed as the second natural disaster that frequently occurred during the last decade in the Indonesia Maritime Continent (IMC). However, the plausible mechanism of high wind still needed to be discovered due to the lack of observation measurements to detect the extreme event over a short time in a limited area over IMC. Herein, we investigated a high wind categorized as Beaufort 8 (56 km h-1) with a devastating impact on 28 March 2021 in the meso-γ-scale over Cimenyan, Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. As the first documentation of a storm-induced high wind in IMC, we combined methods of observational and numerical using X-band radar and a high-resolution (0.2 km) of Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) in studying the physical and dynamic processes related to that extreme event. Our finding pointed out that the high wind generated by an isolated system of a short-lived (40-minute) bow echo meso-γ-vortex is a precondition of mesoscale convective complex development on a synoptic scale. The bowing stage was initiated by a meso-convergence and genesis of meso-γ-vortex as mesoscale convergence vortices under the end-line theory developed by a sustained wind, vertical vorticity anomaly, strong vertical wind shear, and rotational updraft from low-to-surface levels of the troposphere. This study suggested that the WRF model with appropriate microphysics scheme and topography succeeded in simulating a real event of a short-lived bow-echo meso-γ-vortex with 10 minutes of early initial discrepancies between simulated and observed predicts better a storm-induced high wind for hydro-meteorological mitigation over IMC.

Published: October 2023

Eight years since the implementation of the Regional Management Information System (SIMDA), there has been no specific research to analyze the information system both in terms of implementation, system quality, user acceptance, and the success of the system in its implementation. This study aims to determine the success of implementing the program at the Bengkulu Provincial DPMD office using the DeLone And McLean IS Success Model and Technology Accepeance Model (TAM) with seven research variables (system quality, information quality, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, service quality, user satisfaction, and net benefits). Furthermore, this research provides recommendations that can be used to update SIMDA so that it suits user needs. The seven variables of this study resulted in twelve proposed hypotheses (six were rejected and another was accepted). Six paths of accepted hypothetical relationships are: system quality with ease of use; relationship between information quality and perceived usefulness; relationship between information quality and net benefits; relationship between service quality and perceived ease of use; relationship between perceived ease of use and user satisfaction; and relationship between perceived usefulness and user satisfaction. Meanwhile, the relationship path of the rejected hypotheses is the relationship between system quality and perceived usefulness, the relationship between system quality and net benefits, the relationship between information quality and perceived ease of use, the relationship between service quality and user satisfaction, the relationship between perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, and the relationship between user satisfaction and net benefits.
GRIFFIN: A C++ library for electroweak radiative corrections in fermion scattering and decay processes
Authors: Chen Lisong , Freitas Ayres
Published: October 2023

This paper describes a modular framework for the description of electroweak scattering and decay processes, including but not limited to Z-resonance physics. The framework consistently combines a complex-pole expansion near an s-channel resonance with a regular fixed-order perturbative description away from the resonance in a manifestly gauge-invariant scheme. Leading vertex correction contributions are encapsulated in form factors that can be predicted or treated as numerical fit parameters. This framework has been implemented in the publicly available object-oriented C++ library GRIFFIN. Version 1.0 of this library provides Standard Model predictions for the IR-subtracted matrix elements for the process f\bar{f} \to f'\bar{f}'ff‾→f′f‾′ with full NNLO and leading higher-order contributions on the Z-resonance, and with NLO corrections off-resonance. The library can straightforwardly be extended to include higher-order corrections, should they become available, or predictions for new physics models. It can be interfaced with Monte-Carlo programs to account for QED and QCD initial-state and final-state radiation.

Published: October 2023

This study combined emergy theory with water ecological footprint to analyze and evaluate the sustainable development status of water resources in Yunnan Province from 2012 to 2021. The water pollutant account and the water product account were supplemented to the water ecological footprint. The results showed that the water resources in Yunnan Province were generally in an ecological deficit during the study period, but their absolute values were very small. The ecological pressure index of water resources was high, while the sustainable utilization index of water resources was low, indicating that the water resources were in a state of unsustainable utilization. However, the emergy ecological footprint of water resources and the emergy ecological footprint of water resources of 10,000 Yuan GDP showed a decreasing trend, and the eco-economic coordination index of water resources was relatively high, indicating that the water resources will show a sustainable development trend in the future. The sustainable development of water resources was influenced by both natural ecological factors and social factors. Therefore, suggestions such as improving the utilization rate of water resources development, developing a green low-carbon economy, preventing and controlling water pollution, and protecting the water environment are conducive to promoting the sustainable development of water resources.
Aerial photogrammetry to characterise and numerically model an ice jam in Southern Quebec
Authors: Duguay Jason , Lindenschmidt Karl-Erich , Trudel Mélanie , Pruneau Antoine
Published: October 2023

Collecting data on the dynamic breakup of a river's ice cover is a notoriously difficult task. However, such data are necessary to reconstruct the events leading to the formation of ice jams and calibrate numerical ice jam models. Photogrammetry using images from remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) is a cost-effective and rapid technique to produce large-scale orthomosaics and digital elevation maps (DEMs) of an ice jam. Herein, we apply RPA photogrammetry to document an ice jam that formed on a river in southern Quebec in the winter of 2022. Composite orthomosaics of the 2-km ice jam provided evidence of overbanking flow, hinge cracks near the banks and lengthy longitudinal stress cracks in the ice jam caused by sagging as the flow abated. DEMs helped identify zones where the ice rubble was grounded to the bed, thus allowing ice jam thickness estimates to be made in these locations. The datasets were then used to calibrate a one-dimensional numerical model of the ice jam. The model will be used in subsequent work to assess the risk of ice interacting with the superstructure of a low-level bridge in the reach and assess the likelihood of ice jam flooding of nearby residences.

Published: October 2023

Chicken bone and moringa leaf can be used as raw materials in food products because of their high protein, calcium, and phosphorus content. This study aimed to identify the optimal formulation for producing instant corn cream soup with added chicken bones and moringa leaf meal, having a high protein, calcium, and phosphorus content with minimal raw material costs. The formulation was developed using a randomized group design with a combination of chicken bone (0%, 1.4%, 2.8%) and moringa leaf (0%, 1.1%, 2.2%). Then, the formulation was analyzed using linear programming with constraints based on SNI 01-4967-1999 regarding instant cream soup and PerBPOM No. 1 of 2022 regarding the supervision of claims on labels and advertisements of processed food. The three best formulas were subjected to a sensory test. The results showed that three of the nine formulas had the highest protein, calcium, and phosphorus content with the lowest raw material cost, i.e., Formula 5 (2.8% chicken bone, without moringa leaf), Formula 7 (2.8% chicken bone and 1.1% moringa leaf), and Formula 9 (2.8% chicken bone and 2.2% moringa leaf). These formulations also met the requirement for high calcium and high phosphorus in accordance with PerBPOM No. 1 of 2022. However, the samples did not reach the minimum requirement to be considered high protein. The sensory test results showed that Formula 7 was the closest to the ideal product and was also preferred by respondents.

Authors: Firmanda Al Riza Dimas , Arie Nugraha Nughi , Darmanto Darmanto
Published: October 2023

A tomato is classified as a fruit, which level of maturity is determined by its color. Upon distribution, tomatoes require sorting based on their ripeness level. Generally making improvements done conventionally with the human eye. This method has the disadvantage that the results are subjective. One way that can be used to measure the ripeness level of tomatoes is using a spectroscopic sensor. Spectroscopic sensors can predict the level of ripeness and its contents automatically. This study uses machine learning to create a model to classify ripeness level and predict firmness, total dissolved solids (TDS), and total acid in tomatoes. This study used tomatoes with 3 categories of maturity. Tomatoes were tested non-destructively, namely measuring firmness, total dissolved solids content, and total acid. The data obtained were processed using the Partial Least Square Regression method to predict firmness, TDS, and total acid, while the maturity level used the Naive Bayes method. The data processing results to predict the level of maturity using Naive Bayes obtained a success rate of 100%. While for the predictions of firmness, TDS, and total acid had R2 training and R2 testing, namely 0.685 and 0.678, 0.534 and 0.521, and 0.352 and 0.349, respectively.

Conclusions: it is concluded that the representation of ex-combatants is marked by the idea that peace, as was the armed conflict, is a process that entails advances and setbacks.
What’s in a Woman? An Ethnographic Study of Southern Oregon Lesbian Lands
Authors: Di Lauro Cassandre
Published: October 2023

In the 1970s, in the wake of the Women’s liberation movement and the hippie back-to-the land movement, some women bought plots of land all over the United States and founded what they called ‘lesbian lands’, i.e. women-only separatist communities. Some of them continue to exist today, particularly in Southern Oregon where a dozen are still inhabited by self-called ‘landykes.’ Based on in-person semi-directed interviews conducted in Oregon in November 2021 and August 2022 with nine women living or having lived on lesbian lands, this paper investigates their definition of ‘woman’ and how it circumscribes the limits of their community. This paper first argues for a nuanced revision of what radical lesbianism means in these rural lesbian separatist spaces and then proceeds to demonstrate how ‘woman’ has become resignified over the years, de facto barring trans women and challenging lesbian-identified trans men’s place within their community.

Published: October 2023

Abstrak—Virus Corona (Covid-19) telah menyebar ke seluruh benua dan terjadi di setiap negara di dunia. Virus Corona menjadi kasus yang banyak dibicarakan hampir di semua negara khusunya di Indonesia. Terlepas dari berbagai opsi kebijakan yang ditempuh pemerintah terkait pencegahan persebaran virus corona diantaranya dengan menjaga jarak fisik, menggunakan masker, dan senantiasa menjaga kebersihan dengan mencuci tangan menggunakan sabun dan air mengalir. Namun, jumlah korban akibat virus corona semakin bertambah dengan munculnya cluster baru. Algoritma clustering diterapkan untuk mengelompokkan banyaknya provinsi menurut persebaran Virus Corona dengan K-Means. data dari penelitian ini bersumber dari salah satu website yang dikelola oleh tim relawan Kawal Covid-19. Terdapat 34 provinsi yang akan digunakan pada penelitian ini. Atribut yang digunakan ada 10, yaitu nama provinsi, OTG total, ODP total, PDP, suspect total, probable total, kasus dirawat, kasus sembuh, dan kasus meninggal. Data yang telah dikumpulkan akan diolah dengan melakukan clustering dalam 3 cluster, yaitu cluster 0, cluster 1, dan cluster 2. Sehingga diperoleh hasil untuk persebaran Virus Corona di Indonesia berdasarkan provinsi cluster 0 sebanyak 31 provinsi, untuk cluster 1 sebanyak 1 provinsi, dan untuk cluster 2 sebanyak 2 provinsi. dalam implementasinya menggunakan software rapidminer studio version 9.6. Hasil yang diperoleh dapat menjadi masukan bagi pemerintah dalam menganalisa wilayah persebaran Virus Corona yang terjadi di Indonesia berdasarkan provinsi.

Authors: Amanah Fitri
Published: October 2023

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah membandingkan harga opsi call model black-scholes dengan model expansi gram-charlier. Model Black-Scholes mengasumsikan return saham berdistribusi normal. Sedangkan model ekspansi Gram-Charlier, memberikan penyesuaian skewness dan kurtosis pada rumus Black-Scholes. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan studi kasus pada 3 saham, yaitu ORCL, AMZN, dan XOM. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada saham ORCL (skewness = 1,023; kurtosis = 15,892), model Black-Scholes lebih mendekati harga opsi pasar dibandingkan dengan harga opsi ekspansi Gram-Charlier. Saham AMZN (skewness = -0,028; kurtosis= 1,292), model ekspansi Gram-Charlier lebih mendekati harga opsi pasar dibandingkan dengan harga opsi model Black-Scholes. Saham XOM ( skewness = 0,032; kurtosis = 2,88), harga opsi Black-Scholes lebih mendekati harga opsi pasar.

Published: October 2023

Bidang pendidikan pada saat ini merupakan salah satu prioritas yang menjadi urgensi pemerintah. Berdasarkan Badan Pusat Statistik 2021, tercatat bahwa angka putus sekolah di Provinsi Jawa Barat menduduki peringkat pertama dari 34 provinsi di Indonesia. Fenomena ini tentunya menurunkan indeks pendidikan serta bertolak belakang dengan intensi penting yang menjadi fokus pembangunan pemerintah yakni pemerataan pendidikan. Pada penelitian ini akan dilakukan pemetaan wilayah di Provinsi Jawa Barat berdasarkan indeks pendidikan sehingga didapatkan perencanaan dan kebijakan pemerintah yang lebih akurat. Salah satu algoritma yang dapat digunakan dalam pengelompokan kabupaten berdasarkan indikator pendidikan adalah Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering (AHC). Beberapa metode pengelompokkan yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah AHC dengan metode single linkage, metode complete linkage, metode average linkage, dan metode ward. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah perbandingan metode yang dilakukan berdasarkan nilai koefisien korelasi cophenetic. Berdasarkan analisis pada penelitian ini, diketahui gambaran pada sektor pendidikan di Provinsi Jawa Barat tahun 2021, yaitu masih terdapat indikasi belum tercapainya pemerataan pendidikan khususnya pada jenjang sekolah menengah atas hingga perguruan tinggi serta terpusatnya jumlah sekolah dan guru di klaster tertentu. Tinjauan indeks pendidikan ini dibentuk menjadi 4 klaster pada setiap masing-masing metode. Berdasarkan hasil perbandingan nilai koefisien korelasi cophenetic dari keempat metode pada analisis AHC, metode ward adalah metode terbaik dengan koefisien korelasi cophenetic terbesar (0,952).

Robotics in Nursing: Protocol for a Scoping Review
Authors: Darko Elizabeth Mirekuwaa , Kleib Manal , Lemermeyer Gillian , Tavakoli Mahdi
Published: October 2023

Background

Globally, health care systems are challenged with the shortage of health care professionals, particularly nurses. The decline in the nursing workforce is primarily attributed to an aging population, increased demand for health care services, and a shortage of qualified nurses. Stressful working conditions have also increased the physical and emotional demands and perceptions of burnout, leading to attrition among nurses. Robotics has the potential to alleviate some of the workforce challenges by augmenting and supporting nurses in their roles; however, the impact of robotics on nurses is an understudied topic, and limited literature exists.

Objective

We aim to understand the extent and type of evidence in relation to robotics integration in nursing practice.

Methods

The Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) checklist will guide the scoping review. The MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL Plus with Full Text (EBSCOhost), Scopus, Cochrane Library, and IEEE Xplore electronic bibliographic databases will be searched to retrieve papers. In addition, gray literature sources, including Google Scholar, dissertations, theses, registries, blogs, and relevant organizational websites will be searched. Furthermore, the reference lists of included studies retrieved from the databases and the gray literature will be hand-searched to ensure relevant papers are not missed. In total, 2 reviewers will independently screen retrieve papers at each stage of the screening process and independently extract data from the included studies. A third reviewer will be consulted to help decision-making if conflicts arise. Data analysis will be completed using both descriptive statistics and content analysis. The results will be presented using tabular and narrative formats.

Results

The review is expected to describe the current evidence on the integration and impact of robots and robotics into nursing clinical practice, provide insights into the current state and knowledge gaps, identify a direction for future research, and inform policy and practice. The authors expect to begin the data searches in late January 2024.

Conclusions

The robotics industry is evolving rapidly, providing different solutions that promise to revamp health care delivery with possible improvements to nursing practice. This review protocol outlines the steps proposed to systematically investigate this topic and provides an opportunity for more insights from scholars and researchers working in the field.
