Authors: Kurniawan Hasan Dimas Tri , Prasetyorini Linda , Dermawan Very 
Published: August 2024

Faktor penyebab terjadinya banjir di DAS Welang diantaranya adalah akibat dari curah hujan yang tinggi dan mengakibatkan kapasitas sungai tidak mampu menampung debit air, serta sedimentasi di muara sungai sehingga menghambat aliran sungai menuju laut. Banjir menggenangi lahan pertanian, pemukiman, serta sebagian Jembatan Jalan raya Nasional. Mengingat pentingnya Sungai Welang bagi penghidupan masyarakat, maka diperlukan upaya mitigasi banjir agar dapat mencegah kerugian dalam skala besar. Pada studi ini, dilakukan analisis hidrologi untuk memperoleh debit banjir rancangan kala ulang 25 dan 50 tahun dengan Hidrogaf Satuan Sintetik Nakayasu yaitu sebesar 897,27 m3/det dan 958,82 m3/det. Pemodelan hidraulik kondisi eksisting dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis aliran 2D HEC-RAS dengan simulasi unsteady flow. Diperoleh luas wilayah banjir akibat usulan pengalihan banjir periode ulang 25 tahun dan 50 tahun masing-masing adalah sebesar 388,06 dan 430,22 ha. Sedangkan, pemodelan pengendalian banjir yang direncanakan dengan debit banjir probabilitas 50 tahun yaitu berupa tanggul dan normalisasi dilakukan dengan fitur channel modification pada RAS-Mapper. Untuk upaya non-struktural dilakukan dengan membuat jalur evakuasi menuju lokasi terdekat yang dianggap aman, seperti lahan kosong dengan elevasi yang relatif tinggi.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
This viewpoint article explores the transformative role of large language models (LLMs) in the field of medical education, highlighting their potential to enhance teaching quality, promote personalized learning paths, strengthen clinical skills training, optimize teaching assessment processes, boost the efficiency of medical research, and support continuing medical education. However, the use of LLMs entails certain challenges, such as questions regarding the accuracy of information, the risk of overreliance on technology, a lack of emotional recognition capabilities, and concerns related to ethics, privacy, and data security. This article emphasizes that to maximize the potential of LLMs and overcome these challenges, educators must exhibit leadership in medical education, adjust their teaching strategies flexibly, cultivate students’ critical thinking, and emphasize the importance of practical experience, thus ensuring that students can use LLMs correctly and effectively. By adopting such a comprehensive and balanced approach, educators can train health care professionals who are proficient in the use of advanced technologies and who exhibit solid professional ethics and practical skills, thus laying a strong foundation for these professionals to overcome future challenges in the health care sector.
Alaska Gold Company: Using Financial Analysis to Uncover a Firm’s Underlying Economics
Authors: Bowen Robert M. , Jollineau S. Jane , Pfeiffer Glenn 
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT
Students reasonably assume that financial reporting provides useful insights into financial performance. Alaska Gold is an instructional case that is based on a disguised real-world company, where reported GAAP-based financial statements obfuscate the firm’s underlying economics. The Company mined gold for its first two years of operations but reported zero gold revenue for each of these years because it did not sell any. In the third year, the Company sold all of the gold mined to date—and reported gold revenue and related cost of gold sold. Students use publicly available data to prepare an alternative analysis that unveils the economics of what really happened to Alaska Gold in each of the three years 2017–2019. The situation helps students appreciate that accounting rules, business models, managerial discretion, and economic context are important to understanding and evaluating financial performance.
Accuracy of Kinovea-based kinematic gait analysis compared to a three-dimensional motion analysis system in healthy dogs
Authors: Winkler Elena V. , Lauer Susanne K. , Steigmeier-Raith Stephanie I. , Zablotski Yury , Mille Monika A. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
The goal of this study was to compare the accuracy of kinematic measurements obtained using the 2-D video-based kinematic motion analysis (KMA) software Kinovea (version 0.9.5; http://www.kinovea.org) with 3-D KMA in healthy dogs.

METHODS
In this prospective study, 3-D marker–based KMA (VICON-Nexus, version 2.12.1, and Procalc, version 1.6; VICON Motion Systems Ltd) was performed on healthy dogs (body weight ≥ 20 kg; height at withers > 50 cm) walking on a treadmill (study period: November 2022). Simultaneously, dogs were video recorded by 1 smartphone (iPhone SE; Apple Inc) at a 1.50-m distance perpendicular to the shoulder (60 frames per second; 1,920 X 1,080 pixels) for KMA using Kinovea. Joint angle and joint angle velocity of the shoulder, elbow, carpus, hip, stifle, and tarsus were calculated for 6 synchronized gait cycles. Each gait cycle was divided into 10 increments. The difference between 3-D KMA and Kinovea was assessed for each parameter using robust linear mixed-effects models.

RESULTS
34 dogs were included. The estimated joint angle difference between 3-D KMA and Kinovea was less than 2° for all shoulder and elbow gait cycle increments. For the carpus, hip, stifle, and tarsus, the difference was less than 2° in 9, 5, 4, and 4 out of 10 gait cycle increments, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS
Kinovea provides accurate kinematic data for the shoulder and elbow of healthy dogs. Carpal, hip, stifle, and tarsal kinematics were less accurate.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
The use of Kinovea for clinical and research purposes remains limited. Future Kinovea-based studies are needed to investigate the accuracy of carpal, hip, stifle, and tarsal kinematics.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The paper presents the results of research on the problem of the influence of various types of unmalted grain and its quantitative share on important parameters of the malt extract. The aim of the work was to control what precentage of unmalted grain can be added to malt, so that their starch is saccharified only thanks to the action of endogenous malt enzymes. The grains of millet, oats, buckwheat and spelt were used as unmalted raw materials. The basis of the mixture subjected to extraction was Pilsner type barley malt. The percentages of the additives ranged from 5 to 50%. Both the unmalted grain and the malt were crushed. The extract was prepared with the use of two methods: congress and infusion. Saccharification time, pH and extract content were tested. The results were analyzed statistically. It was found that the amount and type of unmalted raw material influenced the saccharification time of starch and the content of the extract and had no effect on the pH of the extract. Millet grain starch was saccharified if its amount was about 40% of the tested mixtures. In other variants of the experiment, endogenous malt enzymes were able to break down the starch when the amount of additive was as high as 50%.
A Review of the Relaxation Models for Phase Transition Flows Centered on the Topological Aspects of the Nonequilibrium Mass Transfer Modelling
Authors: Angielczyk Wojciech 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
The first part of this work is a brief (application-oriented) review of the different classes of multiphase flow models. The review starts with the most generic approaches and descends to the class of Homogeneous Relaxation Models (HRM) of two-phase flow. Subsequently, this work presents a detailed review of the developed relaxation equations describing nonequilibrium mass transfer in two-phase flows. Some of the reviewed equations (in particular, the closure equations of HRMs) have quite simple mathematical structures but there are indications that they should be, in a specific way, more complex. Consequently, the main aim of this article is to bring attention to this problem and expose its nature and practical importance. The analyses conducted in this study reveal that relaxation closure equations formulated as advection equations may disrupt the phase space structure of the model, whereas equations formulated as phasic mass conservation do not pose such an issue. This distinction arises from the presence of a greater number of gradients in the conservation equations (a minimum of two, compared to potentially just one in an advection equation), rendering the conservation equations mathematically more complex.
A Novel Analytical Method for the Exact Solution of the Fractional-Order Biological Population Model
Authors: Elzaki Tarig M. , Mohamed Mohamed Z. 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In this research, we develop a new analytical technique based on the Elzaki transform (ET) to solve the fractional-order biological population model (FBPM) with initial and boundary conditions (ICs and BCs). This approach can be used to locate both the closed approximate solution and the exact solution of a differential equation. The usefulness and validity of this strategy for managing the solution of FBPM are demonstrated using a few real-world scenarios. The dependability of the suggested strategy is also shown using a table and a few graphs. The approximate solutions that were achieved and the convergence analysis are shown in numerical simulations in a range of fractional orders. From the numerical simulations, it can be seen that the population density increases with increasing fractional order, whereas the population density drops with decreasing fractional order.
Effect of multi-digit tactile imagery training on reaction time
Authors: Ramu Vadivelan , Lakshminarayanan Kishor 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Study aim: Reaction time (RT) is the time taken to make a decisive voluntary response to a stimulus. It is an indirect index of the central nervous system’s ability to process information and a simple method to evaluate sensorimotor performance and coordination. The current study explored the potential of tactile imagery (TI) training to enhance RT in distinct digits within the same hand, namely the index and middle fingers and the thumb.

Materials and methods: Forty right-handed healthy adult participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group (undergoing TI training) or the control group. RT to press a button following a vibrotactile stimulus to the index finger, middle finger, or thumb in the left hand was recorded before and after TI training in the experimental group, with the control group undergoing similar RT assessments. A sensory-motor apparatus facilitated precise data collection.

Results: The experimental group exhibited a significant reduction in RT after TI training compared to their baseline and the control group’s RT.

Conclusion: The current study demonstrates the effectiveness of TI training in enhancing finger dexterity and RT within the same hand. These findings have implications for motor control research and support the incorporation of TI training in interventions aimed at improving sports performance and rehabilitation outcomes.

Authors: Mănescu Măriuca , Grama Alina , Dincă Andreea Ligia , Chinceșan Mihaela 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Although rarely diagnosed in the pediatric population, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is experiencing a growing incidence, while continuously acquiring different nuances due to the widening range of risk factors and lifestyle changes in children and adolescents.

Case presentation
A 17-year-old female within four weeks after child delivery was admitted to our clinic due to a six-month history of pain in the left hypochondriac region. After a thorough evaluation, the presence of a benign splenic cyst was revealed, which was later surgically removed. Following the intervention, the patient developed secondary thrombocytosis and bloodstream infection which, together with pre-existing risk factors (obesity, compressive effect of a large cyst, the postpartum period, the presence of a central venous catheter, recent surgery, and post-operative mobilization difficulties) led to the occurrence of extensive DVT, despite anticoagulant prophylaxis and therapy with low-molecular-weight heparin.

Conclusions
DVT raises many challenges for the pediatrician, requiring a personalized approach. Although rare, pediatric patients with multiple concomitant high-risk factors should benefit from interdisciplinary care as DVT may not respond to standard therapy in such cases and rapidly become critical. Continual efforts to better understand and treat this condition will contribute to improved outcomes for pediatric patients affected by DVT.
A Comparative Analysis of the Effects of Haloperidol and Dexmedetomidine on QTc Interval Prolongation during Delirium Treatment in Intensive Care Units
Authors: Haspolat Ali , Polat Fuat , Köprülü Ali Şefik 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Background
Haloperidol and dexmedetomidine are used to treat delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU). The effects of these drugs on the corrected QT (QTc) interval have not been compared before. It was aimed to compare the effects of haloperidol and dexmedetomidine treatment on QTc intervals in patients who developed delirium during ICU follow-up.

Method
The study is single-center, randomized, and prospective. Half of the patients diagnosed with delirium in the ICU were treated with haloperidol and the other half with dexmedetomidine. The QTc interval was measured in the treatment groups before and after drug treatment. The study’s primary endpoints were maximal QT and QTc interval changes after drug administration.

Results
90 patients were included in the study, the mean age was 75.2±12.9 years, and half were women. The mean time to delirium was 142+173.8 hours, and 53.3% of the patients died during their ICU follow-up. The most common reason for hospitalization in the ICU was sepsis (%37.8.). There was no significant change in QT and QTc interval after dexmedetomidine treatment (QT: 360.5±81.7, 352.0±67.0, p= 0.491; QTc: 409.4±63.1, 409.8±49.7, p=0.974). There was a significant increase in both QT and QTc interval after haloperidol treatment (QT: 363.2±51.1, 384.6±59.2, p=0.028; QTc: 409.4±50.9, 427.3±45.9, p=0.020).

Conclusions
Based on the results obtained from the study, it can be concluded that the administration of haloperidol was associated with a significant increase in QT and QTc interval. In contrast, the administration of dexmedetomidine did not cause a significant change in QT and QTc interval.
Understanding the Correlation between Blood Profile and the Duration of Hospitalization in Pediatric Bronchopneumonia Patients: A Cross-Sectional Original Article
Authors: Listiarini Dessika , Desai Dev , Hidayat Yanuar Wahyu , Handoko Kevin Alvaro 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Pediatric bronchopneumonia is a prevalent life-threatening disease, particularly in developing countries. Affordable and accessible blood biomarkers are needed to predict disease severity which can be based on the Duration of Hospitalization (DOH).

Aim of the Study
To assess the significance and correlation between differential blood profiles, especially the Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), and the DOH in bronchopneumonia children.

Material and Methods
A record-based study was conducted at a secondary care hospital in Indonesia. After due ethical permission, following inclusion and exclusion criteria, 284 children with confirmed diagnoses of bronchopneumonia were included in the study. Blood cell counts and ratios were assessed with the DOH as the main criterion of severity. Mann-Whitney test and correlation coefficient were used to draw an analysis.

Results
Study samples were grouped into DOH of ≤ 4 days and > 4 days, focusing on NLR values, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and leukocytes. The NLR median was higher (3.98) in patients hospitalized over 4 days (P<0.0001). Lymphocyte medians were significantly higher in the opposite group (P<0.0001). Thrombocyte medians were similar in both groups (P=0.44481). The overall NLR and DOH were weakly positively correlated, with a moderate positive correlation in total neutrophils and DOH, and a moderate negative correlation in total lymphocytes and DOH. The correlation between the DOH ≤ 4 days group with each biomarker was stronger, except for leukocyte and thrombocyte. Analysis of the longer DOH group did not yield enough correlation across all blood counts.

Conclusions
Admission levels of leukocyte count, neutrophil, lymphocyte, and NLR significantly correlate with the DOH, with NLR predicting severity and positively correlated with the DOH.
Acute Calculous Cholecystitis Associated with Leptospirosis: Which is the Emergency? A Case Report and Literature Review

Published: August 2024

Abstract

Introduction
Leptospirosis is a bacterium with a worldwide distribution and belongs to the group of zoonoses that can affect both humans and animals. Most cases of leptospirosis present as a mild, anicteric infection. However, a small percentage of cases develop Weil’s disease, characterized by bleeding and elevated levels of bilirubin and liver enzymes. It can also cause inflammation of the gallbladder. Acute acalculous cholecystitis has been described as a manifestation of leptospirosis in a small percentage of cases; however, no association between leptospirosis and acute acalculous cholecystitis has been found in the literature.

Case presentation
In this report, we describe the case of a 66-year-old patient who presented to the emergency department with a clinical picture dominated by fever, an altered general condition, abdominal pain in the right hypochondrium, nausea, and repeated vomiting. Acute calculous cholecystitis was diagnosed based on clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings. During preoperative preparation, the patient exhibited signs of liver and renal failure with severe coagulation disorders. Obstructive jaundice was excluded after performing an abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography scan. The suspicion of leptospirosis was then raised, and appropriate treatment for the infection was initiated. The acute cholecystitis symptoms went into remission, and the patient had a favorable outcome. Surgery was postponed until the infection was treated entirely, and a re-evaluation of the patient’s condition was conducted six-week later.

Conclusions
The icterohemorrhagic form of leptospirosis, Weil’s disease, can mimic acute cholecystitis, including the form with gallstones. Therefore, to ensure an accurate diagnosis, leptospirosis should be suspected if the patient has risk factors. However, the order of treatments is not strictly established and will depend on the clinical picture and the patient’s prognosis.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Interdisciplinary research plays a crucial role in addressing complex problems by integrating knowledge from multiple disciplines. This integration fosters innovative solutions and enhances understanding across various fields. This study explores the historical and sociological development of interdisciplinary research and maps its evolution through three distinct phases: pre-disciplinary, disciplinary, and post-disciplinary. It identifies key internal dynamics, such as disciplinary diversification, reorganization, and innovation, as primary drivers of this evolution. Additionally, this study highlights how external factors, particularly the urgency of World War II and the subsequent political and economic changes, have accelerated its advancement. The rise of interdisciplinary research has significantly reshaped traditional educational paradigms, promoting its integration across different educational levels. However, the inherent contradictions within interdisciplinary research present cognitive, emotional, and institutional challenges for researchers. Meanwhile, finding a balance between the breadth and depth of knowledge remains a critical challenge in interdisciplinary education.
Bridging IDF force-design complexities: Blueprint for bottom-up innovation – The emergence of transformational commanders and 5th Gen CINOs
Authors: Frenkel Michal , Alkaher David 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In the face of an intricate defense landscape, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confronts evolving challenges, necessitating transformative strategies. In the past decade, the IDF championed innovation through decentralized silos (“islands of innovation”), steered by 4th generation Chief Innovation Officers (CINOs) with ‘liquid professionalism’. Since the establishment of the Combat Methods and Innovation (CMI) division, the IDF has formed an institutionalized innovation management system, managed by intraorganizational 5th generation CINOs. This system allowed binding these islands into a cohesive framework (an archipelago) designed to rapidly respond to internal developments and external challenges, showcasing the IDF’s capacity to navigate the complexities of modern warfare with agility and foresight. The main contribution of this article is two-folded, first it advocates for the cultivation of two types of change agents: a. the ‘transformative commanders’, leaders adept at instigating profound, organization-wide change; b. intraorganizational 5th generation CINOs. Second, it introduces a dual-pronged framework specifically designed to harness and streamline a bottom-up innovation within military organizations, and in particularly within the context of the IDF. This interdisciplinary framework is derived from both sociological and organizational systems engineering perspectives. The methodology employed to delineate its contributions leverages the theory of systematic operative design.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a critical indicator of technological progress in recent years. The present study uses AI to enhance the efficiency of a hybrid system that operates on renewable energy sources. The hybrid system we propose consists of a wind energy conversion system (WECS), a photovoltaic system (PVS), a battery storage system (BSS) and electronic power converters. AI manages these converters cleverly. We use the maximum power point tracking (MPPT)-based fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to regulate the boost converter in the PVS and the WECS. We propose an adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS)-based controller to control the bidirectional converter of the storage system. The design of this module intends to maintain voltage stability on the direct current (DC) bus and improve energy quality. We study and simulate this system using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The results of this research show that the FLC-MPPT technique outperforms the Perturb and Observe (P&O) algorithm in terms of efficiency in power production. The console we propose also shows good results in maintaining the voltage stability in the DC bus in comparison with the proportional integral (PI) controller. This paper has the potential to contribute to the development of environmentally friendly resource performance.
