Cervical cancer is the second most common malignancy in women with increasing morbidity and mortality rate. VEGF is known as one of pro-angiogenic factors that induce angiogenesis in various malignancy. VEGF overexpression is associated with poor prognosis and plays an important role in cervical cancer progression. This study aimed to investigate the association between VEGF expression and pathological parameters of squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix in Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar. This is a cross-sectional study design. The sampel size was 36 paraffin blocks which were selected by consecutive sampling. Pathological parameter data were divided into 2 categories; tumor size (£4 cm, >4 cm), tumor extension (intra and extra-uterine), lymphatic vascular invasion (positive, negative), vascular density (low, high) and lymph node metastasis (positive, negative). VEGF expressions were examined by imunohistochemical technique and evaluated by Histo-Score method. All variables were analyzed by Chi-square analysis with significance value p <0.05. Chi-square analysis revealed an association between tumor size and VEGF expression (p=0.035). In addition, large tumor size (>4 cm) has 2.17 times probability of causing high VEGF expression. VEGF expression were not associated with tumor extension (p=0.502), lymphatic vascular invasion (p=0.346), vascular density (p=0.364) and lymph node metastasis (p=0.209). This study has proved that tumor size is associated with VEGF expression. Large tumor size has greater risk of causing high VEGF expression therefore anti-VEGF targeted therapy could be proposed in large tumor size. There were no association between VEGF expression and tumor extension, lymphatic vascular invasion, vascular density and lymph node metastasis.

Effect of oral iron supplementation on functional capacity in heart failure patients
Authors: Tjandra Gabriela Widyakarin , Wulandari Yohanessa 
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Heart failure (HF) accounts for 13.4% of deaths and reduces the quality of life of patients. Iron- deficiency is a common condition found in heart failure patients, often occurs due to decrease in iron intake, absorption, and chronic inflammation. Oral iron supplementation is a low-cost and easy alternative for iron-deficiency management in heart failure patients. Method: Literature search was conducted using advanced searching in three large databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. MeSH terms, advanced search and eligibility criteria were used for title and abstract screening after removing duplicates. Critical assessment tools and levels of evidence of the final articles are based on the Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine.
Results: Two systematic reviews and meta-analyses and two RCTs met the PICO and eligibility criteria that had been set. Two systematic reviews and meta-analyses found that oral iron supplementation did not improve the functional capacity of heart failure patients, while the two RCTs found an improvement in functional capacity in heart failure patients who received oral iron supplementation.
Conclusion: Based on critical reviews that have been carried out, currently we do not recommend oral iron supplementation in heart failure patients. Further research may potentially provide different recommendations as oral iron therapy evolves.

Published: August 2023

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease and still major public health threat globally, also one of the leading causes of death worldwide. One of the characteristics found in pulmonary TB patient is lung cavity on their chest radiograph. This is related to many aspects, including slower conversion of sputum cultures, treatment failure and relapse, drug resistance, higher bacillary load, even higher infection transmission rates. Some studies before had found that the lung cavity is affected by many factors, such as elder age, sex, diabetes mellitus, and malnutrition. Meanwhile, malnutrition itself in pulmonary TB patients is found to be related to each other, this article review how malnutrition affects the formation of lung cavity in pulmonary TB patients.
Objective: To observe the relationship between malnutrition and lung cavity formation in pulmonary tuberculosis patients.
Method: In this paper, we provide a literature review. The method to achieve the objective consists of using literature exploration, which was conducted from October 2022-February 2023 by searching the relevant studies from several databases.
Results: Cavity formation in pulmonary TB patients is a complex mechanism from many factors contributing, including the immune system of the host. Studies show that malnutrition in pulmonary TB patients plays important role linked to lung cavity formation since malnutrition affects both innate and cellular immune response in host.
Conclusion: Malnutrition is more predominating in pulmonary TB patients and is related to incidence of lung cavity in pulmonary TB patients, therefore plays role in the severity of the disease in pulmonary TB.

Published: August 2023

Background: Obesity is a global health problem with a continuing trend of increasing population. A positive energy balance, where energy intake is more remarkable than energy expenditure, will cause fat accumulation. Obesity due to the expansion of fat, especially visceral fat, is a risk factor for noncommunicable diseases. Office employees can become obese with a high-calorie diet and a sedentary lifestyle. This study aims to determine the correlation between energy intake and physical activity with visceral fat in obese office workers.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on obese office staff at RSCM. Energy intake was assessed with 3 x 24-h food recalls. Physical activity was assessed with the GPAQ questionnaire, and visceral fat was considered with multifrequency BIA.
Results: A total of 66 study subjects with an average age of 41 years were women and included in the category of obesity degree I. Almost all subjects had abnormal visceral fat volume with a median of 2.95 L (1.3 – 8.5 L). Most have more energy intake, with an average intake of 2196 ± 467 kcal. Most had moderate physical activity with a median value of 1850 MET (120 – 4680 MET). There was a moderate correlation between energy intake and visceral fat (r=0.554, p<0.001) and a weak correlation between physical activity and visceral fat (r=-324, P=0.008).
Conclusion: There was a moderate correlation between energy intake and visceral fat and a weak correlation between physical activity and visceral fat.
Effect of probiotic supplementation on wound healing in postoperative patients
Authors: Rahma Cut Thalya Alissya , Wulandari Yohanessa 
Published: August 2023

Background: Delayed wound healing, particularly in chronic wounds, is a significant global public health issue. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that over 6 million people in the United States experience delayed wound healing annually, resulting in a healthcare cost of $25 billion USD. Probiotics, known for their anti-inflammatory properties, have potential in influencing skin immunity by facilitating the transfer of cytokines and immune cells from Peyer's patches to the skin. Nevertheless, the precise impact of probiotics on postoperative wound healing remains an area with limited research.
Objective: Determine the effectiveness of probiotic supplements in wound healing in patients with surgical wounds
Method: Literature search is done by advanced searching on Pubmed, Cochrane, Scopus, and EBSCOhost with eligibility criteria determined by the author.
Results: There were three articles relevant to clinical questions and eligibility criteria that had been established, consisting of one systematic review article from the randomized controlled trial (RCT) study and two RCT articles. The SR/MA article includes good-quality RCT studies. The SR/MA article showed insignificant results on the effect of probiotic administration on healing. The RCT article showed significant results on the effect of probiotics on surgical wound healing, but the confidence level was low in one of the articles.
Conclusion: Probiotic supplementation on wound healing in postoperative patients is not conclusive. This can be affected by the type of probiotic strain, dosage, duration of administration, and location of the surgical wound.
An Investigation of EFL Students’ Vocabulary Size and Level at an Indonesian Private Tertiary Institution
Authors: Siregar Fenty L , Henni Henni 
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Having good vocabulary knowledge is essential for every student who learns a new language. However, there are only limited previous research projects which have studied the development of English language students’ vocabulary knowledge. Thus, this current study investigated English students’ vocabulary progress of participants who studied at a private tertiary institution in West Java, Indonesia. The participants came from three batches: 2018, 2019, and 2020 to find out the difference of development of vocabulary among them after studying English for two semesters. In its investigation, this study used two different instruments: the Vocabulary Size Test and the Vocabulary Level Test which respectively were created by Nation & Beglar (2007) and Webb et al. (2017). The findings show that after two semesters, the most improved vocabulary size occurred to participants from batch 2019. On average, the vocabulary size achieved after two semesters is enough to read more advanced texts. However, the average score of their vocabulary level test shows that the high-frequency words were not yet mastered, with a decrease on the average score of 2020 students. The finding might imply that there should be more intervention in the teaching and learning of high-frequency words.Keywords: EFL Students, Vocabulary Size, Vocabulary Level

Published: August 2023

Due to the limited availability of parking slots in parking areas, drivers often have difficulty finding an empty parking slot. The number of parking slots available at a particular location is usually less than the number of vehicles. Hence, drivers spend a lot of time looking for vacant parking slots, which eventually delays the completion of their tasks, such as paying bills, attending a meeting, or visiting a patient at the hospital, etc. There are a couple of parking guidance systems that have been highlighted by the other researchers, but most of them lack real-time, convenient guidance. This research proposed a smart parking guidance system made of an IoT Raspberry Pi combined with an Android application that makes use of the weighted k nearest neighbours for positioning the vehicle. This was achieved through the use of Wi-Fi signal strength indicator fingerprinting, allowing for real-time navigation and parking detection. In order to achieve real-time parking over the internet, Raspberry Pi hardware and the ThingSpeak IoT cloud with ultrasonic sensors are used in the proposed method. An Android application was involved in this parking detection system, which adopted IoT approaches to estimate the location of users in real-time and provide routes using route-finding techniques to assist drivers in finding their desired parking slots. Data from the sensors was processed and translated into the Raspberry Pi using the Python programming language. They were sent using the Message Telemetry Transport protocol to send parking data to the ThingSpeak IoT cloud in real-time. This data was displayed via the Android app. The user is then able to view each available parking slot, acquire the route, and be directed with high accuracy to the parking slots of their choice. In this study, advanced sensing and communication technologies were used together with the weighted k nearest neighbours algorithm for positioning and wayfinding in order to improve parking guidance accuracy. Based on the experimental results, the proposed system showed a lower average error rate of 1.5 metres in comparison to other positioning techniques, such as GPS, or other similar algorithms for positioning, such as maximum a posteriori, which have shown average errors of 2.3 metres and 3.55 metres, respectively, a potential increase of more than 35% from the previous error rate.

Published: August 2023

This research aims to develop durable repair materials that can resist shrinkage cracking by exploring the role of creep in reducing shrinkage stress. In this regard, the creep effect can only be quantified if an accurate creep prediction model and theoretical analysis of the shrinkage stress in the patch repair system exist. For this purpose, the research was carried out in the following sequences: first, the research investigated the short-term creep of the patch repair materials containing accelerator and micro-synthetic fibers in the 0.00–0.12% volume fraction range. This short-term creep was measured on five-cylinder specimens (having a diameter of 75 mm and a height of 275 mm). Three specimens were used to determine the deformation of the repair material under unloading conditions, while those remaining were used to determine the total deformation under loading conditions. The amount of creep deformation was determined by taking away the unloaded (shrinkage) and instantaneous (elastic) deformations from the total deformation of the loaded specimens. Secondly, a modified prediction model of ACI 209R-08 is introduced to accurately capture the rate and magnitude of the observed creep of the repair materials. Finally, a formulated theoretical analysis of shrinkage stress in the patch repair system was proposed to examine how creep potentially reduces the repair material's cracking tendency. The results show that the asymptotic value of the creep curve is attained at an earlier age and that its magnitude is greater than that of most concrete. The modified ACI 209R-08 prediction model can closely estimate the repair materials' creep behavior. The best-fit line, residual values, and coefficient of error analyses confirm the modified model's prediction accuracy. The analysis of tensile stress development in the repair layer suggests that creep can reduce stress by up to 50%. With such a reduction, the repair material is expected to be durable in resisting shrinkage and cracking tendency. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-08-014 Full Text: PDF
Evaluation of Factors Affecting the Performance of Fiber-Reinforced Subgrade Soil Characteristics Under Cyclic Loading
Authors: Aneke Frank I. , Hanandeh Shadi , Kalumba Denis 
Published: August 2023

This study is focused on evaluating the factors affecting the performance of fiber-reinforced subgrade under cyclic loading. To achieve the objectives of this study, a series of dynamic triaxial (DT) tests was performed, and the following parameters, such as resilient modulus (MR), number of loading cycles (N), cyclic stress (CS), resilient strain (RS), and stress-strain hysteresis response of both the reinforced and unreinforced subgrades were evaluated. Subsequently, a series of scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests was conducted to track the fiber-soil interfacial bonding after the completion of DT test. The results indicated that N and CS triggered an appreciable decrease in MR with significantly high RS deformation for the unreinforced subgrade. However, reversed responses were noted upon the inclusion of sisal fiber due to fiber-soil adhesion and a high ductility response was portrayed by the reinforced subgrades. A reversed response was significant upon 0.25% and 0.5% fiber inclusion, beyond which the CS resistance slightly decreased. The stress-strain hysteresis loop was observed to increase as the axial strain increased proportionally with an increase in fiber contents, thus causing a significant increase in energy absorption in specimens. The SEM micrograph showed tightly knitted fiber-soil adhesion after the DT test. This study indicated that the reinforced subgrade sustained the CS, N, and improved energy absorption capacity, and MRupon fiber inclusion. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-08-015 Full Text: PDF

Published: August 2023

Indonesia is an archipelago country with a wealth of marine resources. However, local communities have not optimally utilized the use of natural resources, including those in the coastal zone of Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. This research goal is to identify the potential coastal areas for future development in the coastal zones, such as grouper floating net cage (FNC) culture, seaweed cultivation, and tourism areas. Thus, it is intended to develop the methodology of the hydrodynamic models for decision support systems (DSS) within the analysis hierarchy process. There are a total of 25 parameters criteria to calculate the potential future coastal zone development, including physics, water quality, and zoning properties. This DSS can serve as the foundation for instruction, knowledge, and application in developing rural coastal regions. Because of its breadth, this research endeavor is still ongoing. After calibration and verification, the initial study of the potential area of approximately 98,000 ha indicates that the model meets the accuracy requirement within the range of the root mean square error of approximately 0.184. Then, the outcomes of the hydrodynamic model simulation in DSS can be used as essential information for maritime development at this location. The outcomes demonstrate that the best areas for grouper FNC cultivation, seaweed cultivation, along with marine tourism are 6,163 ha, 91,000 ha, and 9,024 ha, respectively. It is expected that this research will contribute to sustainable future coastal zone development in the vicinity of Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-08-02 Full Text: PDF

Published: August 2023

Reactive powder concrete, or RPC, outperforms conventional or even high-performance concrete in terms of ultra-high strength and better durability. Several buildings were destroyed in Iraq, and recycling the garbage from these buildings can significantly help reduce waste and environmental pollution as well as serve as a source of aggregate for use in new construction. Reusing garbage and using sustainable building materials are now crucial environmental challenges, so this study aimed to replace the natural fine aggregate, NFA, used in preparations of polymer reactive powder concreter, "PRPC" with recycled aggregates, or RA, from crushed old concrete, COC, in order to make PRPC production more environmentally and sustainably friendly. In this study, RPC is modified by adding styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), a polymer, to the original mixture at a ratio of 13% by weight of cement. This study sought to determine the effect of using COC as recycled fine aggregate (RFA) on the compressive, splitting, and flexural strengths of PRPC. The main objective of this investigation is to study the effect of oil (water, new oil, and waste engine oil) on the compressive and tensile strengths of PRPC with COC and to compare the behavior with that of a control mix (PRPC with NFA). The mixtures were prepared using six different percentages of RFA, replacing 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100% NfA. After 28 days, the six mixes were divided into three groups. The first was still being cured in water, W; the second in waste engine oil, WEO; and the third in kerosene oil, KO. The results showed that using COC as RFA in PRPC was viable, and according to this investigation, the mix with 40% COC replacement with NFA provides the highest values of compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength before and after exposure to liquids (water, new oil, and waste engine oil).
