Recurrence quantification analysis of postural sway in patients with persistent postural perceptual dizziness
Authors: Kobel Megan J. , Wagner Andrew R. , Merfeld Daniel M. 
Published: July 2023

BackgroundPersistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a common cause of chronic dizziness and imbalance. Emerging evidence suggests that changes in quantitative measures of postural control may help identify individuals with PPPD, however, traditional linear metrics of sway have yielded inconsistent results. Methodologies to examine the temporal structure of sway, including recurrent quantification analysis (RQA), have identified unique changes in dynamic structure of postural control in other patient populations. This study aimed to determine if adults with PPPD exhibit changes in the dynamic structure of sway and whether this change is modulated on the basis of available sensory cues.MethodsTwelve adults diagnosed with PPPD and twelve age-matched controls, completed a standard battery of quiet stance balance tasks that involved the manipulation of visual and/or proprioceptive feedback. For each group, the regularity and complexity of the CoP signal was assessed using RQA and the magnitude and variability of the CoP signal was quantified using traditional linear measures.ResultsAn overall effect of participant group (i.e., healthy controls vs. PPPD) was seen for non-linear measures of temporal complexity quantified using RQA. Changes in determinism (i.e., regularity) were also modulated on the basis of availability of sensory cues in patients with PPPD. No between-group difference was identified for linear measures assessing amount and variability of sway.ConclusionsParticipants with PPPD on average exhibited sway that was similar in magnitude to, but significantly more repeatable and less complex than, healthy controls. These data show that non-linear measures provide unique information regarding the effect of PPPD on postural control, and as a result, may serve as potential rehabilitation outcome measures.
DELIBERATIVE PLANNING ON VILLAGE POLICY MAKING IN PULAU RIMAU DISTRICT
Authors: Rafinzar Rahmat , Khairunnas Khairunnas 
Published: July 2023

This study aims to see the implementation of village development planning with the principles of deliberative democracy and assess the implementation of sub-district village development planning in Pulau Rimau District, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. This study uses a descriptive research method with a qualitative approach. The data analysis techniques used by the researchers are interactive models from Miles and Huberman. This study indicates that the implementation of the principles of deliberative democracy in village development planning is weak because it still has problems in reporting and realizing the proposed results of village development planning. As well as community involvement that is not comprehensive in the process of implementing village development planning, this is contrary to the principles of deliberative democracy which prioritize optimizing the role of the community in the process. However, the notion of deliberation may be applied in representative democracy at the level, in other words, the process of forming or making policies by representatives of village communities is colored by the involvement of the people/constituents through a deliberative process. For this reason, special assistance from the government is needed to form competent village community representatives in the village development planning deliberation.

Simulation-based mathematics and social justice activities
Authors: Von Bülow Katherina 
Published: July 2023

In this paper, various dimensions of care involved in mathematics education are linked to the need to develop classroom activities that connect mathematics and social justice issues. Drawing from literature that shows cognition is situated and embodied, the importance of meaningful contextualization and social interaction when learning mathematics is highlighted. The concept of “simulation-based mathematics and social justice activities” is presented as an approach for the work of bringing social justice issues that have mathematics at their core to the classroom. Theoretical constructs and examples are discussed, to illustrate what such simulations may entail and what may be learned from scholars, in different educational fields, who use simulations in classroom activities. Potentially beneficial features of social justice simulations are related to various educational goals, such as: decreasing arbitrary boundaries between mathematical sub-areas and between mathematics and other disciplines; providing opportunities for choice and the embodiment of different perspectives; and offering opportunities for inter-personal learning. I report on a simulation-based mathematics and social justice activity, conducted in a teacher education classroom. Students—in this case future teachers—were prompted to write reflectively about their participation in the activity. My interest lies in finding out what, if any, cognitive and affective benefits these prospective teachers connect with their experience of mathematics in the activity. To investigate this, I analyze six themes that are present in the data and illustrate each theme using excerpts of student writing. The thematic analysis allows us to learn about connections made by these students, between mathematics, in the context of the activity, and issues that are personally meaningful to them, such as: their own future teaching practice, learning and interacting with peers, beliefs and feelings about mathematics and the learning of mathematics, and different perspectives on complex decisions, involving cooperation or lack thereof, that are encountered in real life situations.

Published: July 2023

Utilizing culturally-conscious teaching promotes instruction that values the cultural knowledge and experiences of ethnically diverse students. This qualitative study centers culturally responsive teaching (Gay, 2002) and community cultural wealth (Yosso, 2005) to contextualize mathematics learning for an after-school tutoring program in North Minneapolis, Prepare2Npsire. The aim of this research was to use a community-based participatory action research approach to: 1) explore the culture wealth of North Minneapolis, 2) create culturally responsive mathematics activities for Prepare2Nspire. Two activities were developed to center community assets and youth empowerment. The goal of these activities was to strengthen community, curriculum, and classrooms by intentionally connecting students’ multidimensional identities with mathematical learning. Specially, Muhammad’s (2020) culturally and historically responsive literacy framework was adapted using a mathematical lens to: 1) Create tasks that build mathematical proficiencies and 2) Create tasks that cultivate mathematical identities. The emphasis on participatory, community-based, and action-oriented practices in this study encouraged the disruption of deficit-based assumptions of communities while also creating joy-filled learning opportunities for Prepare2Nspire attendees.

Published: July 2023

Plastik merupakan senyawa sintesis yang banyak dimanfaatkan dalam berbagai keperluan, mulai dari keperluan rumah tangga hingga industri. Namun, terlepas dari sifatnya yang unggul, plastik konvensional memiliki beberapa kelemahan, mulai dari keamanan produk untuk kesehatan sampai masalah limbah plastik. Salah satunya dengan menggantikan penggunaan plastik konvensional dengan plastik biodegradable. Plastik biodegradable dapat dibuat dari produk pertanian seperti sellulosa dan pati. Sebelumnya, plastik biodegradable telah dibuat dari berbagai sumber yang berbeda namun kekuatan plastik yang dihasilkan masih kurang. Oleh karena itu perlu adanya inovasi dalam pembuatan plastik biodegradable.
Plastik biodegradable dalam penelitian ini dibuat dari pati pisang klutuk dengan serat pandan duri. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan variabel waktu proses dan penambahan volume gliserin. Tahapan dalam proses pembuatannya meliputi preparasi bahan (pembuatan pati pisang klutuk, dan pengambilan serat pandan duri), pembuatan plastik (pencampuran, pemanasan bahan, pencetakan, serta pengeringan), uji mekanik berupa kuat tarik (tensile strength) dan kemuluran (elongation), serta uji biodegradasi dengan bakteri EM4.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan suhu proses 90°C, kecepatan pengadukan 500 rpm, 100 mL asam asetat 0,5%, diperoleh kondisi optimal dengan menggunakan waktu 90 menit dan volume gliserin 5 mL. Dengan kondisi tersebut diperoleh plastik dengan kuat tarik sebesar 4,4327 MPa. Plastik biodegradable dari pisang klutuk dan serat pandan duri dapat terdegradasi dengan bantuan bakteri EM4 selama 10 hari, sehingga plastik biodegradable pisang klutuk adalah plastik yang ramah lingkungan.

Authors: Bansal Abhishek 
Published: July 2023

<p> In the first part, uncompensated and unstable polynomials from 2nd order to 10th order are mentioned and it was also concluded that control loops are unstable, the change in coefficients could be seen in the list. In this part, rather taking such unpractical or impractical circuit (or novel B circuit or novel B-topology), a practical `buck-boost' known circuit and its stability has been explored. The known working circuit is assumed as a black box and is declared as equipment under test (EUT) with just input and output and the control loop stability would be investigated using compensators. The author examines the stability and analyses how the abyss of coefficients change with respect to different compensators when the MOSFET switching frequency is changed from 50 Hz to 1.999 MHz or 1999 kHz. </p>
<p>Due to large number,this paper studies the abyss of stability and unstability, the game of coefficients, upto third order polynomials. The Bode plots of the compensators designed with P, I, PID, series PI, parallel PI, One pole one zero (1P1Z), multipoles, two pole two zero (2P2Z) and three pole three zero (3P3Z) are submitted. The known theory is also explained as summary. </p>

The protagonism of Rey in Star Wars: the force awakens, a feminist reading
Authors: Meneses Allana Cristina Sales , Costa Margareth Torres de Alencar 
Published: July 2023

Star Wars is a science fiction saga that for over thirty years has captivated fans and viewers all over the world. The saga reproduces the desires of the current society, decade by decade, and also produces new forms of representation regarding female characters. Although we know names like Princess Leia and Padmé, both had their narratives crossed by negative stereotypes about female representations. As it is a science fiction genre, we still notice a mostly male presence, despite new appearances of heroines. However, it was with the release of The force awakens (Foster, 2015), that the franchise reignited the engagement and interest of the public, besides attracting the eyes of a new generation. In this way, more female characters were cast for the new trilogy, such as the new protagonist being a woman. In the same year, a literary adaptation was launched in the publishing market, bringing the story to the field of letters and providing new dialogues between the characters. Accordingly, this paper aims to conduct an analytical study on the construction of the character Rey in the literary version of the story, under the light of feminist criticism. For our methodology, we conducted bibliographical research, using authors such as Murdock (2013), Kuhn (1994), and Mulvey (1983). As a result, we understand that it is important to perceive negative stereotypes reproduced in female characters in science fiction narratives, which are also related to women and their representations in literature.
Evaluation of the Effect of Aripiprazole Supplementation in the Prevention of Delirium in Patients Admitted to the General Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Nouri Mehranoosh , Salimi Sohrab , Kosha Mohsen , Abtahi Dariush 
Published: July 2023

Background:
To prove the position of aripiprazole as a preventive and safe agent in delirium in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), it is necessary to conduct randomized controlled clinical trials with appropriate design.

Materials and Methods:
In this study, 80 patients were randomly divided into two groups of 40. Group A received placebo mart for one week, and group B received 15 mg aripiprazole daily (dissolved in 10 cc) daily. As a criterion for assessing delirium, the Confusion Assessment methods for the ICU (CAM-ICUs) were evaluated daily for patients. At the end of the study, the trends of CAM-ICU and CAM-ICU changes on day 7 were compared between the two groups. All statistical tests were performed in two domains with a significance level of 5% using the t-test. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 21 software was used to analyze the data.

Results:
The use of aripiprazole in the studied indices was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The results related to the length of stay in the ICU, showed that although the use of aripiprazole has reduced the length of hospitalization of patients in the ICU, this rate of reduction, was not significant (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
The use of aripiprazole with the approach of reducing the risk or controlling the occurrence of delirium on patients admitted to the intensive care unit, despite creating some beneficial effects such as reducing the length of hospital stay in the ICU, cannot be clearly and significantly effective.
Utility of the Awake Video Laryngoscopy Assisted Fibreoptic Intubation Technique in Maxillofacial Gunshot Injury - A Case Report
Authors: Reddy Ashwini , Bansal Rajeev , Kaloria Narender , Patel Swati , Gowda Punith K. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Rationale:
Maxillofacial gunshot injury leads to significant soft tissue and bone defects, which compromise airway patency, thus posing a challenge for the anaesthesiologist. The utility of the videolaryngoscopy-assisted fibreoptic intubation (VAFI) technique in maxillofacial gunshot injury has not yet been described in the literature.

Patient Concerns:
We report the case of a young male presenting with extensive maxillofacial wounds with fractures of the bilateral maxilla, mandible and floor of orbit secondary to self-inflicted gunshot injury.

Diagnosis:
Major peri-operative concerns included anticipated difficult airway, control of potential haemorrhage and airway oedema.

Treatment:
A flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope used in combination with a video laryngoscope was used to successfully secure the airway.

Outcome:
He was extubated on the same day and discharged after two weeks.

Take-Away Lessons:
The current case highlights the safe and effective use of the videolaryngoscopy-assisted fibreoptic intubation technique in maxillofacial gunshot injury.
A Massive Craniofacial Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia of Midface – A Rare Case Report
Authors: Joshi Udupi Krishna , Patil Satishkumar G. , Thaminidi Sowmya , Mangalgi Anand , Hashmi Aaquib 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Rationale:
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a fibro-osseous lesion of the osseous structures of the body. With an incidence of 1:4000–1:10,000, it seems to be a rare disease. Polyostotic craniofacial fibrous dysplasia involves the skull base bones and facial bones.

Patient Concerns:
The patient complained of a huge swelling over the right side of her face for the past 12 years.

Diagnosis:
Based on clinical, radiological and histopathological findings, the swelling was diagnosed as polyostotic craniofacial FD.

Treatment:
Swelling over the right side of the midface around 6 cm × 5 cm involving right maxilla, zygoma, floor of orbit, lateral side of nose (pyriform aperture) and skull base bones. Since the patient had no functional deficit, we opted for surgical recontouring.

Outcomes:
The patient was satisfied with post-operative results.

Take-Away Lessons:
In huge asymptomatic facial deformity, rather than going for resection, we can remove bone in a piecemeal manner followed by recontouring.
