ACADEMIC AND NON-ACADEMIC LANGUAGE SOCIALIZATION FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AT AN INDONESIAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY
Authors: Suryadi Adi Irma 
Published: December 2023

Academic language socialization refers to the process of helping students to gain knowledge of the language and an ability to participate in new discourse communities by using the language appropriately. Previous research mostly discussed language socialization from students’ perspectives in overseas, such as in Taiwan, America, and Malaysia. In Indonesia, academic language socialization is still less explored, whereas Indonesia is incessantly to internationalize the university by receiving international students from around the world. Therefore, this research is designed to explore academic language socialization for international students from the university administrators’ perspectives, focusing on the university policies, academic and non-academic supports, and challenges. To collect the data, the researcher interviewed five participants; the director of postgraduate, the head of department of masters in Economics and Development Studies, the head of the language centre, one lecturer, and one international student. In addition, the researcher also did classroom observations, [W1] and document analysis (i.e., policy documents). By using interactive data analysis by Miles, et al. (2014), the findings revealed that there were gaps between the applicable policies and implementations.[W2] To overcome the gaps, the university provided academic and non-academic support. For academic supports, the university provided the language center support for international students to have Indonesian language training both for general purposes, and academic purposes. For non-academic supports, the university provided the international students with some facilities, such as housing, cultural studies, vacation together, and art and culture festival. However, there were also several challenges both from bottom-up and top-down perspectives. The challenges were the results of the gaps between the applicable policies and implementations in receiving international students at the university. This result implies the need to reformulate policies of recruitment of international students and provide better academic and non-academic support for the students.

Authors: Azizah Asma 
Published: December 2023

This paper discusses the contrastive analysis of Korean-Indonesian phonological structure. The contrastive analysis here covers phonological correspondence and phonotactic structure between Korean and Indonesian. It also provides implications to pronunciation learning, especially Korean language learners in Indonesia. This paper is a descriptive qualitative research, using literature study from books, journals, and other related resources. This study revealed that Korean had more monophthongs and diphthongs than Indonesian, with Correspondence between Indonesian’s ‘ə’ and Korean’s ‘ɨ’, Korean’s ‘ə (ㅓ), o (ㅗ)’ and Indonesian’s ‘o’, and Korean’s ‘e (ㅔ), ɜ (ㅐ)’ and Indonesian’s ‘e’. However, Korean and Indonesian had different classification of consonant’s manner of articulation, especially on correspondence between voicing and affricative markedness. On syllable structure, Korean was considered to have stricter syllable structure than Indonesian, as seen on constraint applied on syllable. These findings will help instructor create more effective pronunciation learning, with a comprehensive syllabus in using phonological theory and language skills. However, the suprasegmental aspect and phonological process are excluded from this research.

Investigation of Image Enhancement Techniques for Advancing Colon Cancer Diagnosis
Authors: Jitendra Prakash Patil Et al. 
Published: December 2023

Colorectal cancer continues to pose a substantial worldwide health challenge, necessitating the development of advanced imaging techniques for early and accurate diagnosis. In this study, we propose a novel hybrid image enhancement approach that combines Total Variation (TV) regularization and shift-invariant filtering to improve the visibility and diagnostic quality of colon cancer images.
The Total Variation regularization technique is employed to effectively reduce noise and enhance the edges in the input images, thereby preserving important structural details. Simultaneously, shift-invariant filtering is utilized to address spatial variations and artifacts that often arise in medical images, ensuring consistent and reliable enhancements across the entire image. Our hybrid approach synergistically integrates the strengths of both TV regularization and shift-invariant filtering, resulting in enhanced colon cancer images that offer improved contrast, reduced noise, and enhanced fine structures. This improved image quality aids medical professionals in better identifying and characterizing cancerous lesions, ultimately leading to more accurate and timely diagnoses.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, we conducted extensive experimentations on a diverse dataset of colon cancer images. Quantitative and qualitative assessments demonstrate that our hybrid approach outperforms existing enhancement methods, leading to superior image quality and diagnostic accuracy. In conclusion, the hybrid image enhancement approach presented in this study offers a promising solution for enhancing colon cancer images, contributing to the early detection and effective management of this life-threatening disease. These advancements hold significant potential for improving patient outcomes and reducing the burden of colon cancer on healthcare systems worldwide.

Published: December 2023

The process of assessing the safety and risk level of a particular region or area in respect to the COVID-19 pandemic is known as COVID-19 Regional Safety Assessment. It involves analyzing various factors, such as the number of active cases, testing and reporting capabilities, vaccination rates, healthcare system capacity, implementation of public health measures, travel restrictions, presence of variants of concern, and localized outbreaks. A complete evaluation of regional safety is necessary for public health professionals, legislators, and residents to successfully prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect public health and wellbeing. Authorities may identify areas of concern, distribute resources wisely, and put targeted measures in place to restrict the virus's spread by performing a thorough examination. In order to restrict the virus's spread and protect the health and welfare of communities, it is crucial for guiding decision-making processes, identifying problem areas, and effectively allocating resources. The research carried out through regional safety assessments advances our knowledge of the pandemic, guides public health initiatives, and encourages the use of evidence-based decision-making in order to effectively battle COVID-19. Distance from Average Solution-Based Evaluation (EDAS)The evaluation based on distance from the average solution approach assesses the efficacy or quality of individual solutions or data points by comparing each solution or data point to the average or mean solution. This approach is commonly employed in various fields, including optimization, data analysis, and decision-making.In this evaluation method, the average solution serves as a reference point or baseline. It is crucial to remember that the evaluation's specific context and goals may influence the choice of the average solution and distance metric. Additionally, other evaluation criteria or metrics may be employed in conjunction with the distance-based evaluation to obtain a more comprehensive assessment of the solutions.

Authors: Hithaishi Surendra Et al. 
Published: December 2023

Lane identification and traffic sign detection is the most challenging and promising problem for self-driving or autonomous vehicles with unintentional lane departure and ignorance of traffic signs being major contributing factors to motor vehicle collisions around the world. To tackle this problem the proposed work aims to detect both lane and traffic signs for autonomous vehicles. This article proposes semantic segmentation and object detection model for implementing Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) applications. The applications are implemented using a variant of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) deep learning model such as SegNet and You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm. Due to dynamic and adverse environment conditions, devising and testing a system which yields effective performance in all urban driving scenarios is challenging. Hence the environment is set up virtually with the help of the Car Learning to Act (CARLA) simulator. With aid of developed models, lane and traffic signs were successfully detected and tested under various constraints. Obtained results are evaluated with various performance metrics. Models are deployed for separate created datasets. The semantic segmentation model developed for lane detection using SegNet gives a mean average precision (mAP) of 93.33%, an overall accuracy of 94.80%, F-score of 93.42% and a minimal error rate of 5.20%. Model developed for Traffic sign detection, a mean average precision of 93.67%, an accuracy of 95.56%, recall of 92.67%, F-score of 93.16% and error rate of 4.44% have been achieved.

Background: The discipline of Siddha medicine, particularly herbal formulations, can benefit greatly from the use of molecular docking because it enables the molecular interactions of the formulation’s lead molecules with receptors to be understood, as well as the inference of the formulation's basic biochemical targets. Aim: The goal of this study is to carry out an In-silico computational analysis of the phytochemicals found in Kuruver Kudineer (KK), a traditional Siddha remedy that is used for managing behavioral deficit in Parkinsons disease. Methodology: The ligand structures were developed and optimized using Auto Dock Tools (Morris, Goodsell et al., 1998). Using Auto dock Vina, the compounds were all docked. The function of the target protein Monoamine Oxidase -A (PDB 2Z5X), which is involved in the breakdown of the neurotransmitters by MAO-A, will be inhibited by the creation of a hydrogen bond between phytocomponents and the target's core amino acids (Tyr 69, Ile 335, Tyr 407, and Tyr 444). In order to control the dopamine level, phytocomponents that inhibit the target enzyme MAO-A may be used as potential targets. Results: The compounds present in Kuruver Kudineer (KK) like Gingerenone-A, Betulinic acid, Zingiberene, Rutin, Geniposide and β-sitosterol showed maximum interactions with MAO –A when compared to that of Clorgyline. According to the outcomes of the computational investigation, the bio-active substances present in the Siddha formulation Kuruver Kudineer (KK) have significant affinity to the target MAO-A (PDB 2Z5X). Conclusions: From the results of the present study, it was concluded that the MAO – A reveal significant effect to managing the behavioral deficit and thereby considered an excellent drug choice for the clinical management of Parkinson’s disease (Nadukku vatham)

The physiology of haemostasis and blood coagulation is intimately linked to the hepatic function. Liver disorders can be associated with deranged coagulation profile, thrombocytopenia, and dysfibrinogenemia. In hepatocellular injury, both quantitative and qualitative abnormalities in coagulation factors are often seen. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), peculiar as both cancer and liver cirrhosis to dismay the haemostatic balance towards a prothrombotic state. Our study aims to assess the hemostatic changes and the comparision of coagulation profile trends that occur in cases of liver cirrhosis with HCC versus cirrhosis without HCC: The present study is the hospital based cross-sectional study in a tertiary care centre, New Delhi. A maximum 150 cases of liver cirrhosis with and without hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) studied from Dec 2017 to Nov 2019 and analysed for parameters related to coagulation i.e. prothrombin time (PT/INR), fibrinogen level and platelet count 1 day prior to the liver transplant. Statistical analysis used: Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 20.0. Comparisons between groups frequencies were made using Chi-square test. P&#60; 0.05 was considered as significant.: Prothrombin time was found to be increased in all the cirrhotic patients (both with and without HCC). Decrease in the level of fibrinogen was observed in 90 % cases of cirrhosis with HCC and 80% of cases of cirrhosis without HCC. Platelet count were almost in normal range among majority of the cirrhosis cases both with and without HCC (86.0% and 75.0% respectively).No significant difference was observed in prothrombin time, fibrinogen level and platelet count among the cases with and without hepatocellular carcinoma (p&#62;0.05).: All the cases showed haemostatic abnormalities in the form of hypofibrinogenemia and increase PT/INR. There is no significant difference in the coagulation profile in cases of cirrhosis with HCC in comparison to cases of cirrhosis without HCC.
Triad of serum PSA, DRE and biopsy in diagnosing prostatic diseases- How useful it is?
Authors: Akhtar Kafil , Saba Mazhar , Khan Adiba , Akhtar Masheera 
Published: December 2023

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein produced by prostatic acini and prostatic tissue. Its concentration increases in prostatic diseases. Concentration above 4 ng/ml is considered abnormal but there is no clear-cut point between normal and abnormal PSA levels. PSA is considered as serum marker for prostatic cancer but it is organ specific, not cancer specific. Digital rectal examination (DRE) is a routine part of prostate cancer screening. Biopsies are performed when PSA test and DRE are abnormal. The study is an attempt for comparative analysis among serum PSA, age, DRE, and biopsy results for the institution of specific treatment at an early stage. Study was performed on 200 patients with different prostatic lesions in the Department of Pathology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and Hospital, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. Clinical, DRE, PSA and histopathological biopsy were performed and analyzed by correlating the data. In our study 77.5% had normal (0-4 ng/ml) PSA level and 13.5% had &#62;10 ng/ml PSA levels. BPH was the most common diagnosis (54.0%), followed by prostatitis (20.0%), BPH with prostatitis in 16.0% and carcinoma (10.0%). Serum PSA with positive DRE ranged from 1.2 ng/ml to 56 ng/ml while in negative DRE ranged from 0.18 ng/ml to 9.6 ng/ml. PSA is specific for prostate but not for prostatic diseases. With increasing age serum PSA also increases. Conjunction of serum PSA with other variables like age, DRE and biopsy makes a better diagnosis of prostatic diseases.
