The quality of teachers in vocational education has an important role in producing graduates who are competitive in the industry. In fact, there are still many Vocational High School (SMK) teachers who do not yet have expertise competency certificates. This is one of the reasons for the high unemployment rate in Indonesia, which is dominated by SMK graduates at 10.42 percent in August 2019. According to the head of the Accounting Subject Teacher Board (MGMP) in the Cimahi, 21 accounting teachers members of the MGMP do not have a competency certificate. Based on these problems, we held training activities to add insight for vocational teachers regarding competency certification for accounting teachers in vocational schools in accordance with the competency certification scheme, and improve practical teaching skills through practicum modules that are in accordance with industrial conditions. The implementation of the PKM program begins with compiling training materials, conducting online pre-tests, evaluating pre-test results, training 5 competency units online, conducting face-to-face competency test simulations, providing simulation scoring results, and providing feedback regarding scoring results. From the results of this activity, the teachers who were treated showed high enthusiasm and were able to receive the training material well with indicators of post test results that were better than the pre test.Keywords: Competency Certification; Vocational high School; Accounting Competence

Published: March 2024

Background: Visualization of the larynx and pharynx is essential to diagnose and treat pathologies, and to prognosticate. This can be done by using indirect laryngoscopy, rigid and flexible endoscopy, and direct laryngoscopy. The main purpose of the article was to assess the profile of laryngopharyngeal pathologies diagnosed by flexible fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy and indirect laryngoscopy in patients with laryngopharyngeal symptoms and to estimate the level of agreement between flexible fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy and indirect laryngoscopy for selected laryngopharyngeal conditions like vocal nodule, vocal cord polyp, Reinke’s edema, hypopharyngeal growth, vocal cord palsy, vocal cord growth. An Independent t-test and chi-square test were used to analyze the results. Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 20 was used for statistical analysis.
Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 101 patients with laryngopharyngeal symptoms were subjected to both indirect laryngoscopy and flexible fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy. The structures visualized, pathologies detected, time taken and discomfort levels were statistically analyzed.
Results: In our study, we found that laryngopharyngeal symptoms were more common among the 61 to 70 years age group. The majority of them were males. The majority of them were retired employees. The most common presenting complaint was difficulty in swallowing, followed by globus sensation and voice change. All structures were visualized by flexible fiberoptic nasopharyngolaryngoscopy. Whereas, in indirect laryngoscopy, some structures were visualized and some were not. Pyriform fossa apex and post-cricoid region were not visualized for all patients with indirect laryngoscopy. Laryngopharyngeal reflux was the most common pathology detected. There is no significant difference between IDL and FOL in site, subsite, and clinical appearance of the pathology detected. There is a significant difference between IDL and FOL in time taken (FOL has a higher mean) and discomfort levels (IDL has a higher mean).
Conclusions: Though indirect laryngoscopy is cost-effective in terms of investment, the time taken for the procedure is also less, flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy is considered superior because it can visualize all structures and can detect pathologies early in their stage so that the patient gets treatment early which can alter the prognosis.

Published: March 2024

Background and Aims: Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is one of the most dangerous parasitic infections in immunocompromised patients. It may pass through the bloodstream to various organs, such as the reproductive organs of intermediate hosts, which may lead to male infertility. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between T. gondii infection and infertility in infertile men referred to the infertility center of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province.
Materials and Methods: In this case-control study,129 men, including 67 infertile and 62 fertile men, participated, and specific anti-Toxoplasma antibodies of IgG and IgM were detected in the serum of all cases using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods. Also, the presence of T.gondii DNA in the seminal fluid samples of these people was detected using the polymerase chain reaction method. Sperm analyses, including sperm count, morphology, motility, and viscosity, were also performed on the seminal fluid.
Results: Based on the result of the IgG antibody, a significant difference was found in toxoplasmosis in two fertile and infertile groups. Its frequency was 16.1% in the fertile group and 40.3% in the infertile group. Also, Toxoplasma infection showed a relationship with sperm count and sperm morphology, so its frequency was 72.7% in the low sperm group and 24.6% in the high sperm group. The results of IgM and polymerase chain reaction showed, there was no significant relationship between the fertile and infertile groups with toxoplasmosis.
Conclusion: The serum prevalence of the anti-Toxoplasma antibodies and molecular detection in infertile men is higher than the control group, and it seems that Toxoplasma may be an effective risk factor for causing male infertility and disruption of sperm parameters.
Navigating across anthropological and Haudenosaunee knowledge: co-developing research using CBPR and Kaswenta (Two-Row Wampum) principles in partnership with Six Nations of the Grand River.

Published: March 2024

As part of the Ohneganos research project, funded through the Global Water Futures (GWF), we document the ways we worked across Haudenosaunee and anthropological knowledge to assess the impact of water insecurity on holistic maternal health. This research was led by the Six Nation Birthing Center (SNBC), inspired by Haudenosaunee Kaswenta treaty principles. We utilized community-based participatory research (CBPR) and Indigenous research methods (IRMs), such as storytelling, to find common ground of dialogue and reciprocity. In doing so, this research goes beyond traditional anthropological ways of data collection and fieldwork and highlights the importance of active community direction and participation. We argue that different knowledge from the researchers does not need to be ignored or reduced to one singular perspective to work across worldviews. Instead, acknowledging and highlighting the differences will lead to innovative methods and scholarship. This paper contributes to the literature of research methods and policies and will be helpful to Indigenous communities and non-Indigenous researchers working together.

Summary
In shale gas drilling operations, oil-based drilling fluids have proved to be effective in addressing the issue of shale reservoir hydration expansion, serving as the primary working fluid for complex subsurface shale formations. However, the presence of shale laminations and the development of microfractures with varying widths require drilling fluids with excellent sealing capabilities. In this study, a comprehensive investigation was conducted to develop a drilling fluid system with broad-spectrum high-sealing performance. The porosity of bridging particles was determined by using the Archimedean drainage method. The bridging particle size and quantity at each level were meticulously designed through leveraging the Horsfield close-packing theory. The incorporation of deformable nanoscale polymer sealing materials further enhanced the sealing performance of the drilling fluid system. Additionally, hydrophobic nanoscale silica particles were introduced as coemulsifier to prepare Pickering emulsions, thereby improving emulsion stability and enhancing particle-size distribution for improved sealing. Through formulation optimization, a drilling fluid system with broad-spectrum, high-sealing performance capabilities was developed. The study revealed a reduction in porosity of closely packed bridging particles from 35.36% to 11.38%. The drilling fluid system exhibited a remarkable sealing efficiency of 99.2% for microfractures in the 1–10 μm range and 95.8% for microfractures in the 30–50 μm range. Furthermore, it demonstrated excellent sedimentation stability, with a sedimentation factor of less than 0.52 after 48 hours of static sedimentation at 150°C. The drilling fluid system also exhibited favorable rheological, lubrication, and inhibition properties, thus meeting the demands of field applications.

Abstract

The cardiac conduction system (CCS) is a network of specialized cardiomyocytes coordinating electrical impulse propagation for synchronized heart contractions. Although the components of the CCS, including the sinoatrial node, atrioventricular node, His bundle, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers, were anatomically discovered more than 100 years ago, their molecular constituents as well as regulators remain not fully understood. Here, we demonstrated the transcriptomic landscape of the postnatal mouse CCS at a single-cell resolution with spatial information. Integration of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics uncovered region-specific markers and zonation patterns of gene expression across the CCS, which were histologically validated. Network inference showed heterogeneous gene regulatory networks across the CCS. Notably, CCS region-specific gene regulation was recapitulated in a dish using neonatal mouse atrial and ventricular myocytes overexpressing CCS-specific transcription factors, Tbx3 and/or Irx3. This finding was supported by ATAC-seq of different CCS regions, Tbx3-ChIP-seq, and the identification of Irx motifs. Overall, this study demonstrates comprehensive molecular profiles within the postnatal CCS and provides evidence of the regulatory mechanisms contributing to its heterogeneity.

Abstract
Conventional sources of energy have played major in burning diesel, petrol into carbon dioxide. Carbon and greenhouse emissions have immensely contributed toward global warming and thus face global criticism from environmental activists and the UN agencies. Therefore, it became imperative to reduce or cut these emissions. Renewable energy systems have over the years gained attention from researchers and environmentalists due to their clean nature. Thus, they are emission free and reduce the reduction of carbon emissions. Furthermore, the size of the energy system depends on the energy demand required by the load. In the foregoing, the demand of Nile university for one year was obtained weekly. Furthermore, a load forecasting model was developed using python for the prediction of the energy demand. An average model accuracy of 98% was obtained. However, the campus uses four synchronized generators as energy sources coupled with a grid-tied PV/solar system and a public utility energy grid. The greenhouse emissions because of using these generators was determined. Using an energy content factor (EC) of 38.6 GJ/kL and an emission factor (EF) of 69.5Kg CO2 -e per GJ the greenhouse gas emission is obtained as 21,008.22 tones. Similarly, the carbon saved from using the grid-tied solar system is obtained at 202.96 tones. Therefore, the need for replacing the generators with a renewable energy system is obvious. Hence, to reduce the carbon emissions by the diesel generators used by the campus, a hydroelectric energy system was sized based on existing models. A best- and worst-case scenarios were modelled and obtained. Results have shown that the River/Stream of water passing through Nile has potentials that can be harnessed to curb the issues of emission.

Abstract

Background Parkinsonism diagnostic tests based on speech samples have been reported with promising results. However, although abnormal auditory feedback integration during speech production and impaired rhythmic organization of speech have been shown in Parkinsonism, these observations have not been integrated into diagnostic tests. Objective To identify Parkinsonism and evaluate the power of a novel speech behavioral test (based on rhythmically repeating syllables under different auditory feedback conditions). Methods Thirty parkinsonism patients and thirty healthy subjects completed the study. Participants were instructed to repeat the PA-TA-KA syllable sequence rhythmically, whispering and speaking aloud under different listening conditions. The produced speech samples were preprocessed, and parameters were extracted. Classical, unpaired comparisons were conducted between patients and controls. Significant parameters were fed to a supervised machine-learning algorithm differentiating patients from controls, and the accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity were computed. Results Difficulties in whispering and articulating under altered auditory feedback conditions, delayed speech onset, and alterations in rhythmic stability were found in the group of patients compared to controls. A machine learning algorithm trained on these parameters to differentiate patients from controls reached an accuracy of 85.4%, a sensitivity of 87.8%, and a specificity of 83.1%. Conclusions The current work represents a pilot trial, showing the potential of the introduced behavioral paradigm as an objective and accessible (in cost and time) diagnostic test.

Abstract

Mosquitoes rely on their microbiota for B vitamin synthesis. We previously found that Aedes aegypti third-instar larvae cleared of their microbiota were impaired in their development, notably due to a lack of folic acid (vitamin B9). In this study, we investigated the effects of other B vitamins on the development of germ-free mosquito larvae. We found that diet supplementation using a cocktail of seven B vitamins did not improve mosquito developmental success, but rather had a significant impact on the sex-ratio of the resulting adults, with an enrichment of female mosquitoes emerging from B vitamin-treated larvae. A transcriptomic analysis of male and female larvae identified some sex-specific regulated genes upon vitamin treatment. When treating germ-free larvae with high doses of individual B vitamins, we detected a specific toxic effect related to biotin (vitamin B7) exposure at high concentrations. We then provided germ-free larvae with varying biotin doses or with varying bacterial counts, and showed that males are sensitive to biotin toxicity at a lower concentration than females, and require less bacteria-derived nutrients than females. These findings shed new light on sex-specific nutritional requirements and toxicity thresholds during the development of insect larvae, which impact the sex ratio of adults.
