Purpose of the study: The concept of student fraction, in general, is to understand a small part of an intact part so that students' understanding of fractions as quantities needs to be considered in the context of quantitative reasoning. This study aimed to explore and describe the reasoning of junior high school students in Bima, Indonesia, in understanding the relationship of quantities as a fraction.
Methodology: Research was conducted with qualitative research, which was descriptive exploratory with the stages of giving the Fraction Problem Task (FPT) and task-based interviews. The subjects in this study were 4 students selected from grades 8 and grade 9, who had studied fraction material and were chosen based on the categorization shown by students on the answer sheet.
Main Findings: The results of this study described that there were two forms of student reasoning approaches, namely the variable and the non-variable approach. In the variable approach, students used multilevel variables, namely level one and level two, whereas, in a non-variable approach, students connected quantities directly, without involving variables.
Applications of this study: The process of connecting quantities involved quantitative reasoning with different quantitative operations, such as the quantity combination in the form of multiplication, addition, and concurrent combination of multiplication and addition.
Novelty/Originality of this study: In the process of linking quantities, students were connecting composite units with intact units directly, and students were connecting composite units, continuous units, and then connecting to intact units.

Published: September 2020

<p>In recent years, rents of apartments in Beijing have been rising rapidly. A survey shows that Beijing, as a central city, has a large number of population changes due to the concentration of various high-quality resources. Besides, the immigrate population is an important reason for the increase of urban housing demands and the further increase of housing prices. At the same time, the problem of household registration system makes a large number of immigrate population still choose to buy houses in the original place, which further aggravates the spatial mismatch of housing demands in China. To find out the changes law of rent with the immigrate population, further help the government to perfect the policy for rental market, and help the people to get suggestions for rent, this article uses Saiz model for reference to build a theoretical model of the impact of immigrate population on housing prices to studies the relationship between immigrate population and rent changes in Beijing during the past eight years, and makes reasonable suggestions for residents and the government.</p>

Semi Presidensil:Paradoks sistem pemerintahan di Indonesia
Authors: Zalpa Yulion 
Published: September 2020

Abstrak
Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengurai dan menjelaskan dinamika sistem politik dan pemerintahan di indonesia dari masa orde lama sampai reformasi. Pasca kemerdekaan, indonesia terus mencari format sistem pemerintahan dalam rangka mewujudkan tata kelola pemerintahan yang demokratis. Indonesia sebagai negara telah melakukan ‘bongkar-pasang” sistem pemerintahan, seperti presidensil, parlementer bahkan menerapkan sistem ”semi presidensil”.
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kepustakaan dengan metode analisis deskriptif. Sistem presidensil yang diterapkan saat ini yang diikuti penerapan sistem multipartai terlihat paradoks, sehingga menyebabkan banyak kekacauan dan menimbulkan masalah masalah baru dalam tata kelola kebijakan di indonesia.
Sistem semi presidensil yang berafiliasi dengan sistem multipartai melemahkan kelembagaan dan kewenangan presiden sebagai pemimpin kekuasaan eksekutif. Sistem multipartai membuat presiden tidak mandiri dalam menegaskan keputusan-keputusan politik. Lebih jauh lagi, sistem multipartai di parlemen sarat dengan pelbagai kepentingan politis yang membuka ruang luas untuk menginterupsi keputusan dan kebijakan presiden. Kehadiran multipartai ini juga semakin memperpanjang mekanisme pengambilan keputusan
Key words : semi presidensil, multipartai, sistem politik dan pemerintahan.

Total Fertility Rate (TFR) merupakan salah satu indikator untuk melihat pertumbuhan penduduk di suatu daerah. Sedangkan tinggi rendahnya TFR disuatu daerah selalu berhubungan dengan Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR), yaitu ukuran untuk melihat persentase pengguna alat kontrasepsi Pasangan Usia Subur (PUS). Di Indonesia, provinsi dengan TFR tertinggi yaitu Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur dan provinsi dengan TFR terendah yaitu Provinsi Jawa Timur. Oleh sebab itu, peneliti tertarik untuk meneliti mengenai faktor-faktor sosial demografi yang memengaruhi penggunaan alat kontrasepsi di kedua provinsi yang memiliki TFR tertinggi dan terendah tersebut lalu membandingkan hasilnya. Analisis yang digunakan yaitu analisis inferensia dengan regresi logistik biner dan analisis deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor-faktor sosial demografi yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penggunaan kontrasepsi pada wanita usia subur (WUS) di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur adalah usia, status perkawinan, pendidikan terakhir dan jumlah anak yang pernah dilahirkan. Sedangkan faktor-faktor sosial demografi yang berpengaruh signifikan terhadap penggunaan kontrasepsi pada wanita usia subur (WUS) di Provinsi Jawa Timur adalah usia, status perkawinan, pendidikan terakhir, status pekerjaan dan jumlah anak yang pernah dilahirkan. Secara umum, sebagian besar wanita usia subur (WUS) yang menggunakan alat kontrasepsi di kedua provinsi tersebut adalah wanita usia subur (WUS) yang berumur 35-39 tahun, berstatus kawin, bekerja disektor pertanian, memiliki anak lebih dari dua, serta pendidikan tertinggi yang ditamatkan adalah SD/sederajat. Dengan kata lain, tidak terdapat perbedaan karakteristik diantara kedua provinsi dengan TFR tertinggi dan terendah tersebut.

Abstract
Background
Intensive study of the biomedical sciences remains a core component of undergraduate medical education with medical students often completing up to two years of biomedical science training prior to entering clerkships. While it is generally accepted that biomedical science knowledge is essential for clinical practice because it forms the basis of clinical reasoning and decision-making, whether medical students perceive an expanded role for their biomedical science knowledge remains to be examined.

Methods
We conducted a qualitative research study to explore how medical students in the first clerkship year perceived the relevance of biomedical science knowledge to clinical medicine during this pivotal time as they begin their transition from students to physicians. To identify previously unidentified perspectives and insights, we asked students to write brief essays in response to the prompt: How is biomedical science knowledge relevant to clinical medicine? Ten codes and four themes were interpreted through an applied thematic analysis of students’ essays.

Results
Analysis of students’ essays revealed novel perspectives previously unidentified by survey studies and focus groups. Specifically, students perceived their biomedical science knowledge as contributory to the development of adaptive expertise and professional identity formation, both viewed as essential developmental milestones for medical students.

Conclusions
The results of this study have important implications for ongoing curricular reform efforts to improve the structure, content, delivery, and assessment of the undergraduate medical curriculum. Identifying the explicit and tacit elements of the formal, informal, and hidden curriculum that enable biomedical science knowledge to contribute to the development of adaptive expertise and professional identity formation will enable the purposeful design of innovations to support the acquisition of these critical educational outcomes.

Abstract
Background: In end-of-life patients with advanced cancers, oral examination, oral care, and oral re-examination are crucial. Although oral symptoms are among the major complaints of end-of-life patients, few studies have focused on oral care in these patients. In this study, the association between oral symptoms and oral dryness among end-of-life patients was examined, and improvement of oral conditions after oral care interventions by a professional dentist was quantified.Methods: This prospective intervention study included 27 terminally ill patients with advanced cancers in a hospice ward. Professional oral care was administered every morning, and the improvement of oral conditions was assessed by comparing oral conditions before and after the intervention. Oral assessment was performed using the Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT) and Oral Assessment Guide. Oral dryness was evaluated through Clinical Diagnosis Classification of oral dryness and an oral moisture device. Oral cleanliness was evaluated using a bacterial counter, and tongue smears were collected for Candida examination; furthermore, oral function was recorded.Results: The presence of oral mucositis was closely associated with severe oral dryness (odds ratio [OR] = 14.93; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.95–114.38). The level of oral debris retention was significantly related to the degree of oral dryness (OR = 15.97; 95% CI: 2.06–123.72). The group with higher scores (OHAT > 8), which represent poor oral conditions, showed severe oral dryness (OR = 17.97; 95% CI: 1.45–223.46). Total OHAT scores (median: 7 vs 2) and those of other subgroups (lip, tongue, gums and tissues, saliva, and oral cleanliness showed a significant decrease after the intervention. Furthermore, the occurrence of mucositis (47.1% vs 0%), candidiasis rate (68.8% vs 43.8%), oral dryness self-sensation (63.6% vs 9.1%), and severe oral debris (52.9% vs 11.8%) decreased significantly.Conclusions: Proper oral care can improve oral health and hygiene, reduce the rate of mucositis, reduce the sensation of oral dryness, increase oral moisture, and reduce the chances of oral infections among end-of-life patients. Daily oral care is necessary and can alleviate oral discomfort, increase food intake, and increase the chances of communication between end-of-life patients and their families.

Abstract
Background: Contraception helps prevent unintended pregnancies and mother to child Human Immune Virus (HIV) transmission among human immune virus positive women. Ethiopia has made remarkable progress in increasing contraceptive use rate but there is still a disparity of contraceptive use in the country. Understanding the extent of and barriers of contraceptive use among HIV positive women in Ethiopia is important for learning how to best improve level of contraceptive use among this group of population. Therefore, this study aimed to determine contraceptives use and associated factors among HIV positive sexually active women at anti-retroviral therapy clinic at Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital ART clinic in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.Method: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from June 01-30, 2018 among (n=308) randomly selected HIV positive women at Felege Hiwot Referral Hospital. Data were collected using a pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version20. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify determinants of contraceptive use. Statistical significance was declared at p-value <0.05.Results: Out of three hundred eight participants, 118(38.3%) reported contraceptive use at the time of the study. Injectable is the most preferred (43.5%) contraceptive method. Participants with age 15-34 years (AOR =3.09, 95%CI: 1.59-5.99), disclosed their status to sex partner, (AOR=2.7, 95%CI: 1.14-6.66), had history of contraception use; (AOR=3.36, 95%CI: 1.68-6.74), were sexually active in the last six months (AOR=5.45, 95%CI: 2.72-10.91) had higher odds of contraceptive use. However, participants who had drinking habit (AOR=4.35, 95%CI: 1.82-10.38) had lower odds of contraceptive use.Conclusion: A significant proportion of HIV positive women had low level of contraceptive use that was lower than the national recommended level. These results suggest that multi-sectorial and multi-disciplinary approaches are needed to increase contraceptive use in the HIV positive women. Emphasis should be given for HIV positive women who have drinking habit and older age women.

Abstract
Object detection and gender recognition are the two different categories to be classified in a single section is a complicated task and needs to support the blind people. In this paper, our method to the better sensation of blind persons by conversion of visualized data to audio data. Therefore the artificial intelligence model requires to detect the objects as well as human face recognition with gender classification algorithms. This model processed with feature extraction and classification models. The feature extraction was comprised with multi scale-invariant feature transform ( MSIFT), with feature optimization with support vector machine algorithm then classified using LASSO classifier. For better performance identification, three different classification models were implemented and tested too. Feature selection helps in making tests early to detect the objects and recognizing human actions using image processing approach. This approach can be applied for both offline and online modes. But in this scenario, an offline mode was implemented and was tested with a combination of different databases. For this process of classification ridge regression (RR), elastic net (EN), lasso regression(LR) and LASSO regression were implemented. The final classification results with accuracy are as follows for RR- 89.6%, EN- 93.5%, LR-93.2% and proposed approach(LRGS) with 98.4% accurate detection rate with prediction name of classes.

Abstract
Background Men living in low- and middle-income countries are unlikely to seek mental health care, where poor healthcare infrastructure, differences in illness conceptualization, and stigma can impact treatment seeking. Vulnerable groups, such as former political prisoners, are more likely than others to experience potentially traumatic events that may lead to negative mental health outcomes. To improve the likelihood of successful engagement of vulnerable men in psychotherapy, it is necessary to identify factors that influence treatment adherence, and to better understand men’s attitudes surrounding decisions to seek and initiate care. The purpose of this investigation was to explore themes of masculinity, treatment seeking, and differences between male former political prisoners who accepted and declined therapy in an urban low-income context. Methods We conducted a qualitative, interview-based investigation with 30 former political prisoners in Yangon, Myanmar who were eligible to receive mental health counseling provided by the non-governmental organization (NGO), Assistance Association for Political Prisoners. Men were initially screened using a composite questionnaire with items related to depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress symptom severity. After screening, if potential clients were identified as having probable mental health problems, they were asked if they would like to participate in a multi-session cognitive behavioral therapy program. Semi-structured, open-ended interviews were conducted with 15 participants who accepted and 15 participants who declined therapy. Interviews were transcribed and translated by local partners and thematically coded by the authors. We used thematic analysis to identify and explore differences in treatment-seeking attitudes between men who accepted and men who declined the intervention.Results Men described that being a community leader, self-reliance, morality, and honesty were defining characteristics of masculinity. A focus on self-correction often led to declining psychotherapy. A general lack of familiarity with psychological therapy and how it differed from locally available treatments (e.g. astrologists) was connected to stigma regarding mental health treatment.Conclusions Masculinity was described in similar terms by both groups of participants. The interpretation of masculine qualities within the context of help-seeking (e.g. self-reliance as refusing help from others versus listening to others and applying that guidance) was a driving factor behind men’s decision to enter psychotherapy.

Abstract
Background: To analyse short-term changes in the anterior segment and retina after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). Methods: Patients with myopia scheduled for SMILE were recruited from Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai, China. Basic patient information such as age, sex, and refractive errors was recorded. Ocular measurements were taken before surgery, and 1 day and 1 week after surgery; they included axial length (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), white to white (WTW), pupil diameter (PD), macular thickness (MT), ganglion cell layer thickness (GCL), retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL), choroidal thickness (CT), macular vessel density, and optic disc vessel density. Results: Sixty-one eyes of 31 patients were selected for this study. AL, CCT, ACD, and postoperative PD were significantly reduced (p<0.05), while LT was thickened after surgery (p<0.05). MT at the fovea decreased 1 day and 1 week after surgery (p<0.05). GCL showed no significant changes after surgery. RNFL was unchanged 1 day after surgery, but the inferior sector was thickened 1 week after surgery. CT was thicker at the fovea 1 day after surgery and 1.0 mm from the fovea in the nasal sector 1 week after surgery. Macular vessel density was significantly decreased 1 day after surgery and most recovered in 1 week. Optic disc vessel density decreased at the peripapillary part 1 day after surgery and recovered after 1 week. 𝜟ACD and 𝜟LT showed no significant correlation 1 day after surgery. 𝜟ACD was negatively correlated with 𝜟LT and sphere 1 week after surgery (r=-0.847, p<0.000; r=-0.398, p=0.002). 𝜟LT was positively correlated with the sphere 1 week after surgery (r=0.256, p=0.048). Conclusion: The anterior segment was the most affected, while the retina also underwent changes with regard to MT, RNFL, CT, macular vessel density, and peripapillary vessel density.
