Published: June 2024

Koperasi Tahu Tempe Indonesia (KOPTI) is a type of cooperative whose members are producer of tofu and tempeh for the community. So that as a producer cooperative, the efforts carried out by KOPTI are aimed at helping and facilitating the needs of its members to advance their business. One of the KOPTI in Sleman Regency complained about the challenges and obstacles in developing a business, especially in the soybean procurement business and the tempeh house business. Therefore, in Cooperative Education this March, training and guidance on cooperative business development were carried out interactively. In cooperative education, it is discussed that the purpose of business development is to increase efficiency, productivity, competitiveness, income and increase the role of cooperatives in serving their members. Some steps that can be taken are to develop an existing business or add a new business. In overcoming soybean price competition, cooperatives are advised to buy soybeans from importers domiciled in Semarang and if necessary pack and deliver the soybean brands with their own brands modified from existing brands that are first known by tempe and tofu producers, to overcome the fanaticism of producers on a certain brand. Meanwhile, to overcome barriers to marketing premium tempe products produced by KOPTI in Sleman Regency, KOPTI explore cooperation with mini markets or supermarkets and conduct personal selling to upper- middle-class restaurants that provide menus made from tempe and target consumers in high-class housing. On the other hand, to increase member loyalty to the cooperative, it is suggested that cooperatives can carry out membership education for producers of KOPTI members in stages.

DEVELOPING A CELIOTM PROGRAMMING LEARNING TOOL TO FACILIATE TEACHING AND LEARNING DATA STRUCTURE CONCEPTS IN C++ FOR NOVICE PROGRAMMERS
Authors: Mtaho Adam B. , Masoud Masoud M. , Mselle Leonard J. 
Published: June 2024

Programming is the core skill in computer science (CS) education. It is also a useful course in engineering and science-based courses. However, teaching and learning computer programming has not been an easy task. This is evidenced by the fact that majority of the students face challenges and difficulties in understanding programming concepts and how to apply them in real-life scenarios. The situation is worse for the Data Structures and algorithms (DSA) course, an advanced-level programming course that is mandatory for any CS student. The subject is too hard for novices to grasp due to its abstract and dynamic nature. To address such difficulties, several algorithm visualization (AV) tools have been introduced to help novices understand data structure. However, the pedagogical effectiveness of using such tools has not been successful because they are less engaging for learning DSA. This paper describes how the CeliotM programming learning tool was developed to facilitate learning data structure concepts in C++. The development of CeliotM was achieved by using reuse-oriented software engineering approach. CeliotM was developed by redesigning a Celiot program visualization (PV) tool-a programing learning tool that supporting learning programming in C++. Thus, by using Java as the language, the original version of Celiot was resigned to support compilation and visualization of various data structure elements in Memory Transfer Language (MTL) format; and incorporate several learner engagement features, including the inbuilt C++ compiler and animation explanations. The resulting tool is a CeliotM programming learning tool that visualizes and compiles data structure objects such as queues, stacks, and linked lists in C++ programming language. Empirical results on the evaluation of using CeliotM in teaching data structures and algorithmic concepts reveal that using such tool enhanced students’ programming comprehension and offered a more appealing learning experience for novice programmers. The greatest contribution of this work is to provide an education tool for teaching data structures in C++ that can work as a compiler, program and algorithm visualization tool in tandem. It also contributes a valuable resource to programming education, offering an effective and inspiring approach for novices to grasp fundamental programming and data structure concepts.
Association of composite dietary antioxidant index with cardiovascular disease in adults: results from 2011 to 2020 NHANES
Authors: Wang Run , Tao Weijun , Cheng Xiaobing 
Published: June 2024

BackgroundOxidative stress is a known pathogenic mechanism in cardiovascular disease (CVD), yet the association between dietary antioxidants and CVD in the general population remains underexplored. This study leverages data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to investigate the association of a composite dietary antioxidant index with CVD in US adults.MethodsAnalyzing data from 25,997 adults (2011–2020 NHANES), we employed weighted generalized linear models, subgroup analysis, threshold effect analyses, and sensitivity analysis to assess the association between dietary antioxidants and CVD. Nonlinear associations were explored through a restricted cubic spline, with gender-specific stratification and threshold effect analysis to identify critical inflection points.ResultsIncreasing levels of the composite dietary antioxidant index corresponded with decreased CVD prevalence (P &lt; 0.001). In all models, weighted generalized linear models revealed a consistent negative association between CVD prevalence. And in Model 3, Quartile 4 had a 29% lower CVD prevalence than Quartile 1[0.71 (0.59, 0.85), P &lt; 0.001]. Meanwhile, the findings of the unweighted logistic regression model demonstrated stability. Various characteristics such as sex, age, race, PIR, education, BMI, alcohol consumption, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes did not influence this inverse association (P for interaction &gt;0.05). Notably a nonlinear association was observed, with a significant inflection point at 3.05 among women.ConclusionThis study demonstrates a strong negative association between the composite dietary antioxidant index and CVD prevalence, suggesting the potential protective role of dietary antioxidants. These findings underscore the need for prospective studies to further understand the impact of oxidative stress on cardiovascular health.

Published: June 2024

BackgroundExercise-induced cytokines involved in controlling body composition include myostatin (MST) and follistatin (FST), both of which are influenced by physical activity. This study investigated changes in body composition and physical activity during a weight loss program, as well as the impact on serum MST and FST levels at various weight loss rates.MethodsA total of 126 patients with obesity who completed a 6-month weight loss program were divided into three groups based on weight loss rate (%): low (&lt; 3%), middle (3–10%), and high (≥10%). The International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used for assessing physical activity, whereas dual X-ray absorptiometry was used to determine body composition. Serum MST and FST levels were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.ResultsThe middle and high groups showed a significant decrease in percent body fat and a significant increase in percent lean body mass and physical activity. Serum MST levels increased significantly in all three groups, although FST levels reduced significantly only in the middle group. After adjusting for sex and body composition, changes in peak oxygen intake (β = -0.359) and serum FST levels (β = -0.461) were identified as independent factors for the change in MST levels in the low group. Sex (β = -0.420) and changes in MST levels (β = -0.525) were identified as independent factors for the change in serum FST levels in the low group, whereas in the high group, sitting time (β = -0.600) during the weight loss program was identified as an independent factor for change in serum FST levels.ConclusionSerum MST levels in patients with obesity increased significantly following the weight loss program, independent of weight loss rate. In contrast, serum FST levels reduced significantly only in the 3–10% weight loss group. These findings indicate that MST and FST secretion dynamics may fluctuate in response to physical activity, while also reflecting feedback regulation of body composition and metabolism during weight reduction.
The impact of new digital infrastructures on urban carbon emissions-An empirical study from Chinese cities
Authors: Wang Yongkai , An Qiguang , Xie Qian , Wang Ruoyu 
Published: June 2024

IntroductionIn the digital era, new digital infrastructures (NDIs) play a pivotal role in fostering economic growth and technological innovation. However, their ecological impact, particularly on carbon dioxide emissions, remains underexplored. Addressing this gap holds significant practical and theoretical value.MethodsUtilizing panel data from 283 Chinese cities spanning 2009 to 2020, this study employs a two-way fixed-effects model to empirically assess the influence of NDIs on urban carbon emissions (UCE). Additionally, a mediation effect model is used to examine the mechanisms of this influence.ResultsThe findings reveal that: (1) NDIs significantly mitigate UCE levels, a conclusion supported by robustness tests involving instrumental variables and the exogenous policy shocks of smart city pilot programs; (2) NDIs primarily impact UCE through two channels: the digital economy and green technology innovation; and (3) heterogeneity analysis indicates that NDIs predominantly curb carbon emissions in cities with lower administrative levels, while positively contributing to UCE intensity in higher administrative level cities. Notably, NDIs substantially reduce UCE in non-old industrial cities, with a negligible effect in old industrial cities.DiscussionThis research expands the understanding of the economic-environmental implications of NDIs, offering valuable insights for policymakers regarding NDIs’ environmental impacts. It also provides strategic guidance for urban low-carbon transitions in the big data era.

Published: June 2024

IntroductionSalmonella typhi, a gram-negative bacterium responsible for typhoid fever, can infect the inner lining or valves of the heart and cause endocarditis. This systematic review aimed to report cases of S. typhi-associated endocarditis and its clinical features.MethodsThis systematic review was reported as per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) checklist. Only case reports and case series of endocarditis caused by S. typhi, irrespective of age, gender, and demographics, were considered eligible for inclusion. To identify relevant studies, a literature search was conducted using relevant keywords on PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library from inception to 31 December 2023. After selecting the studies, the relevant data were extracted and pooled in terms of frequencies and percentages. A quality assessment was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case Reports.ResultsThis review included seven case reports, comprising 22.2% female and 77.8% male patients. The mean age of patients was 27.9 + 12.0 years. Regarding past medical history, 33.3% (3/9) of patients had a previous cardiac pathology. Fever remained the most common complaint, occurring in 88.9% of cases. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography were used to diagnose all cases, with 33.3% identifying vegetation on the mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves. Ceftriaxone, with or without gentamycin, remained the choice of antibiotic for 88.9% of cases, and all patients responded to the offered treatment.ConclusionS. typhi-associated endocarditis, though rare, presents unique challenges and requires timely diagnosis. This systematic review of seven cases highlights a predominantly male population affected, with a mean age in the third decade, suggesting a higher invasiveness than other causes. The findings from this study underscore the importance of early recognition and appropriate management, primarily with antibiotic therapy. Further research with larger cohorts is crucial to refine understanding and guide policymaking for this rare but life-threatening condition.
