Authors: Ula Ayu Fatichatul 
Published: August 2024

Wabah covid-19 memberikan dampak yang besar terhadap seluruh lini kehidupan, tidak terkecuali pada lini pendidikan. Pemerintah pada akhirnya memutuskan untuk melakukan proses pembelajaran melalui Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh (PJJ). Namun meski begitu, dalam pelaksanaannya masih banyak kendala yang dihadapi, terlebih pada media yang digunakan. Karena melalui jarak jauh maka pembelajaran harus membutuhkan alat bantu berupa smartphone sebagai media pembelajarannya. Bagi siswa yang memilik taraf ekonomi menengah kebawah tentu hal ini menjadi kendala besar, yang pada akhirnya membuat peserta didik malas mengikuti pembelajaran sehingga prestasi belajar mereka menurun. Oleh karenanya SMP 1 Nguling yang memiliki permasalahan tersebut pada akhirnya memutuskan untuk melakukan pembelajaran blended learning melalui WhatsApp dan tatap muka terbatas dengan mematuhi protokol kesehatan yang berlaku. Penelitian ini berfokus pada tiga hal, yaitu 1) gambaran proses pembelajaran blended learning, 2) prestasi belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran PAIBP 3) pengaruh pembelajaranblended learning terhadap prestasi belajar siswa. melalui penelitian kuantitatif dengan pendekatan expofacto, penelitian ini hendak menguji apakah blended learning berpengaruh terhadap prestsi belajar siswa. Ari hasil penelitian menggunakan analisis deskriptif diketahui bahwa pembelajaran blended learning berada pada kategori sedang. Begitu pula dengan prestasi blajar siswa berada pada kategori sedang. Melalui uji regresi sederhana ditemukan bahwa pembelajaran blended learning berpengaruh terhadap prestasi belajar siswa dengan arah pengaruh yang negatif dengan uji t yang menunjukkan nilai thitung sebesar 2,521 > ttabel sebesar 2,032 dengan besaran pengaruh sebesar 15,7%.

ANALISIS PERBANDINGAN LOGO PERTAMINA DENGAN LOGO KARYA ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MENGGUNAKAN LOGO AI
Authors: Nara Gabriel Antonio Nicholas 
Published: August 2024

Logo merupakan salah satu karya desain yang penting karena logo bertugas sebagai wajah dari sebuah brand. Sebuah logo harus mampu mewakili karakteristik dari brand-nya agar dapat membedakan diri dari brand lainnya. Seperti brand lainnya, Pertamina juga merupakan sebuah brand besar yang memiliki sebuah logo. Logo tersebut dibuat oleh sebuah agensi desain yang ditangani oleh beberapa desainer logo sehingga dapat menciptakan hasil yang bagus dan efektif. Akan tetapi dalam pembuatan logo tersebut menghabiskan biaya yang cukup tinggi, sedangkan di internet sudah tersedia begitu banyak situs pembuat logo otomatis berteknologi artificial intelligence seperti LogoAi yang memerlukan biaya lebih rendah dibandingkan membayar sebuah agensi desain. Tetapi setelah dianalisa lebih dalam menggunakan prinsip dasar desain logo menurut Jacob Cass, terungkap bahwa logo yang dibuat menggunakan LogoAi hanya dapat menciptakan sebuah logo yang sederhana dan serbaguna saja. Untuk menciptakan sebuah logo unik , yang tidak hanya bagus secara visual, tetapi juga dapat bertahan lama dan mengandung makna yang dapat mewakili sebuah brand perusahaan, diperlukan kreatifitas dan kemampuan memberikan makna yang hanya dimiliki oleh manusia dan belum dapat digantikan oleh teknologi. Oleh karena itu, logo Pertamina yang sesungguhnya sudah termasuk efektif karena sudah memenuhi semua prinsip dasar desain apabila dibandingkan dengan logo buatan LogoAi.

Abstract

Background
PPCS deficiency disorder (PPCS DD) is an ultra-rare, autosomal recessive form of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) caused by pathogenic variants in PPCS, which encodes the enzyme catalyzing the second step in the coenzyme A (CoA) biosynthesis pathway. To date, only six patients worldwide have been identified. In this study, we report on six additional patients. We shed light on the functional aspects of DCM in PPCS DD and evaluate therapeutic approaches to boost CoA levels both in vitro and in vivo.
Methods and Results
Whole-exome sequencing identified causative variants in PPCS in six additional individuals presenting with DCM and a spectrum of phenotypes, including neuromuscular signs and neurologic deterioration. Western blotting analyses demonstrated destabilizing effects of identified variants on the PPCS protein. Microplate-based assessment of CoA showed reduced levels of the coenzyme in patient-derived fibroblasts, cardiac progenitor cells, and cardiomyocytes. Functional investigation of DCM in cardiac cells and heart patches revealed defects in contractile function and arrhythmic events, which were partially rescued by pantethine. Long-term clinical assessment showed encouraging benefits in pantethine-treated patients.
Conclusion
Our study expands the genetic and clinical spectrum of PPCS deficiency disorder, identifying six new cases with diverse phenotypes. Functional investigations reveal reduced CoA levels and dysfunction in patient-derived cardiac cells. Pantethine treatment shows promise in partially rescuing DCM phenotypes, both in vitro and in patients. However, complete reversal may require early intervention. These findings underscore the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment in PPCS DD. Future research should focus on optimizing pantethine supplementation and exploring additional therapies to enhance CoA levels and cardiac function in affected individuals.

Abstract

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is prevalent in children and associated with lower education performance. This association is often obtained from observational studies, which have limited ability to identify causal relationships. Knowledge of causes is useful, because it delineates intervention avenues more clearly, but research into causation in childhood is hindered by ethical and practical limitations to randomized clinical trials. The present study uses twin study designs and polygenic risk scores (PRS) to investigate the causal relationship between ADHD symptoms and poor educational performance. We combined family-based direction of causation modeling and Mendelian randomization (MR) approaches and applied them to ABCD study data for improved causal inference. The models used necessarily make assumptions about either horizontal pleiotropy, or the level of individual-specific confounding factors. Results support the hypothesis that ADHD symptoms have a causal effect on educational performance, and vice versa. No heterogeneity related to sex was found, nor moderation of causal estimates by gender. These findings highlight the complex interplay between ADHD and educational outcomes and emphasize the need for larger sample sizes in future research.
Biosynthesized Ag-SiO2 hybrid nano fluid with cross-linker for augmentation of multifunctional and mechanical properties of cotton fabric
Authors: Aktek Mst. Tania , Ali Mohammad 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

In this research, low cost, eco-friendly hybrid nano particles from agro waste are synthesized. As agro waste, the lemon peel zest is utilized for synthesis of Ag nps and rice husk for SiO2 nps. From these two nano particles, two hybrid nano fluids named Ag-SiO2 and Ag-SiO2-bis are synthesized and incorporated on cotton woven fabric by mechanical thermo fixation method to produce mechanically strong and functional cotton fabric. The produced Ag nps are characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, Field Emission Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDX), and found the average size as around 30nm with spherical shape. Again, SiO2 nps are characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), FESEM and EDX and obtained results reveal amorphous, spherical shape with the average particle size as around 50nm. The surface morphology of treated fabric is assessed by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and EDX. The antibacterial properties, UV protection ability, dye ability, moisture management property, mechanical properties are assessed and found better than that of untreated fabric. However, due to use of small amount of the above nps in preparation of hybrid nano fluid, UV-protection ability is found not up to the mark. For more durable antibacterial cotton fabric, N,N′ -methylene bis-acrylamide is used as a crosslinking agent which has significant positive contribution to mechanical properties.
Combating HIV/AIDS : Integrating Viral Nature, Technological Advances, and Community Dynamics

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Acquired Immunodeficiency syndrome remains a global health challenge, with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) leading to compromised immune systems and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and cancers. Despite advances in treatment and prevention, gaps in knowledge and awareness persist, influencing the disease’s impact on communities. This study conducts a comprehensive literature review and surveys to assess the current understanding of HIV transmission, prevention, and treatment. It also evaluates community awareness levels through qualitative interviews and questionnaires distributed across diverse demographic groups. The review identifies a significant disparity in the awareness of HIV transmission pathways and preventive measures. It also highlights a lack of access to treatment in certain populations. Community responses indicate varying degrees of knowledge, with misconceptions contributing to stigma and discrimination against individuals living with the virus. The findings suggest that enhancing community awareness is crucial for effective prevention and support. Education programs tailored to local contexts and inclusive health policies can bridge knowledge gaps, reduce stigma, and improve health outcomes.
Chronic circadian disruption alters cardiac function and glucose regulation in mice
Authors: Gearey Jenna E J , Wang Melinda , Antle Michael C 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Cardiometabolic disease is a leading causes of death worldwide. One factor that may contribute to the risk, onset, and severity of symptoms is disrupted circadian rhythms. Our study uses two strains of mice to further elucidate this relationship: healthy controls, and a mouse model of insulin resistance with short freerunning periods (~ 22.75hrs) and enlarged hearts, raised in either a 24-hour or 22.75-hour LD cycle. Through glucose and insulin tolerance tests, routine electrocardiograms from 1–4 months old, and histology, we reveal worse cardiometabolic health outcomes for mice gestated and housed in a mismatched LD cycle compared to those in an LD cycle that matches their endogenous rhythm. This was characterized by heightened blood glucose levels following a glucose or insulin bolus, altered electrophysiological parameters of the cardiac waveform, and increased cardiomyocyte size. The present study demonstrates that circadian disruption on its own can lead to adverse health outcomes. Circadian disruption due to work/social schedules or circadian-related disorders in people is often confounded with unhealthy lifestyles. The present study demonstrates that circadian disruption on its own can lead to adverse health states.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Changes in muscle strength with aging appear before old age and are reported to precede a decrease in muscle mass. However, few studies have examined muscle function and Neuromuscular junctions (NMJ) differences in middle-aged and young populations. The purpose of this study was to compare the differences in physical activity, body composition, isokinetic muscle strength and NMJ according to the life cycle of the population aged 20–59 and to examine the correlation according to age. Physical activity (IPAQ), body composition (BIA), knee extension strength (PT, BW/PT, RTD180, AT), Neuromuscular junctions (CAF, NfL) were examined in young (age = 29.38 ± 3.38 years), middle-aged (50.54 ± 4.772 years) men. Middle-aged men showed lower physical activity (1.54 ± 0.66 and 2.15 ± 0.55), PT (170.55 ± 35.41Nm and 224.72 ± 41.02Nm), BW/PT (234.93 ± 50.05% and 295.48 ± 31.44), and RTD180 (94.86 ± 29.72Nm and 153.60 ± 33.02Nm) values and significantly higher NfL(11.29 ± 5.50pg/mL and 6.44pg/mL) than younger men. All of the above variables were significantly correlated with age. Simple regression analysis between strength and NMJ showed that PT, BW/PT, and RTD180 were negatively correlated with NfL. Our results suggest that changes in physical activity quality, isokinetic strength, and neuromuscular junction are clear from young to middle-aged men, suggesting that intervention techniques should be proposed to maintain muscle function before aging is evident.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Introduction: Problem-based learning (PBL), based on self-directed learning, is an instructional strategy that shifts the approach from the instructor to the student (student-centered). Notwithstanding its adoption in undergraduate and graduate medical education, its usefulness remains a topic of debate. This study aims to review current worldwide data on the efficacy and utility of critical thinking and clinical skills using problem-based learning educational methods in undergraduate medical teaching programs.
Methods: The search was conducted in June 2024 in PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science and included all publications regardless of the publication date, study design, or country of origin.
Results: Thirteen meta-analyses and systematic reviews were compiled through database screening. The results showed that PBL effectively enhanced students' clinical skills and critical thinking abilities; nevertheless, further evidence is needed to confirm this finding.
Discussion: PBL is a successful and an effective medical education system. Medical students can learn skills and acquire competencies useful for their medical professionalism through PBL in addition to their existing knowledge.
Ant Foraging: Optimizing Self-Organization as a Solution to a Travelling Salesman Problem.
Authors: Paago Natasha , Zheng Wilson , Nonacs Peter 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Foraging ant colonies often face the challenge that food items may appear unpredictably somewhere within their territory. This is analogous to Travelling Salesman/Salesperson problems (TSP), wherein solutions seek the least costly and most effective route to visit multiple possibly-rewarding sites. However for ants, TSP solutions are likely also constrained by cognitive limitations. Rather than envisioning entire routes, ants more likely determine their paths by individual-level responses to immediate stimuli, such as presence of other foragers or avoiding revisiting an already explored path. Thus, simple individual-level movement rules could self-organize complex group-level search patterns. Here we derive solutions through agent-based models that optimize net foraging gain for groups of eight agents with ant-like cognitive abilities in searching three different spatial networks of sites. We then compare the patterns from the evolutionary simulations to observed foraging in Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) in identical spatial networks. The simulations and ant data show that foraging patterns are sensitive to both network arrangement and predictability in food appearance. The modeling results are consistent in multiple ways with observed ant behavior, particularly in how network arrangements affect foraging effort, food encounters, and general searching distributions. In some distributions, however, ants are more successful at finding food than the simulated agents. This may reflect a greater premium on encountering food in ants versus in simulations increasing exploitation rate of found food. Overall, the results are encouraging that evolutionary optimization models incorporating relevant ant biology can successfully predict the expression of complex group-level behavior.
