Published: September 2023

Secara umum sistem komunikasi terdiri dari perangkat keras dan perangkat lunak yang dirancang untuk mengirim informasi dari pemancar ke penerima, dalam pemrosesan pengiriman sinyal informasi dari pemancar ke penerima sering munculnya interferensi yang mengakibatkan gangguan pada sinyal informasi. Sinyal interferensi tersebut dapat dihilangkan dengan menggunakan filter digital. Filter digital dibagi menjadi dua, yaitu filter digital FIR (Finite Impulse Response) dan Filter digital IIR (Infinite Impulse Response). Untuk menghilangkan sinyal interferensi tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan filter digital FIR. Pada filter digital FIR sendiri terdapat beberapa metode perancangan, salah satunya adalah metode frekuensi sampling. Dalam metode frekuensi itu sendiri terdiri dari dua metode desain, yaitu metode desain naif dan metode desain optimum. Unjuk kerja metode frekuensi sampling sangat bergantung pada jenis metode desain yang digunakan. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian filter yang dirancang menggunakan metode frekuensi sampling dengan menggunakan metode desain naif nilai attenuasi stopband-nya lebih besar dibandingkan menggunakan metode desain optimum. Pada metode desain optimum yang di uji menggunakan dua sampel pada band transisi menghasilkan attenuasi stopband yang lebih bagus dibandingkan menggunakan satu sampel pada band transisi. Hasil pengujian nilai S/I penggunaan metode desain naif menghasilkan nilai S/I yang paling besar yaitu 6.0334 dB, dan nilai S/I yang paling kecil diperoleh pada saat penggunaan satu sampel pada pita band transisi yaitu 6.0320 dB. Dari nilai S/I tersebut dapat dilihat bahwa nilai paling besar diperoleh pada saat ripple pada passband tidak memotong sinyal informasi dan interferensi yang tersisa sedikit.
Cultivating Wellness and Curbing Costs: A Systematic Paradigm for Enhancing The U.S. Healthcare System through Patient Education
Authors: Ling Siriust 
Published: September 2023

<p>Each year, Americans spend increasingly significant amounts of money on healthcare costs. The American Medical Association estimates that U.S. healthcare spending grew 2.7 percent in 2021, reaching $4.3 trillion or 18.3% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product. Despite these statistics, healthcare quality and accessibility remain problematic. Many approaches have been suggested and implemented in response to these major shortcomings. Some of these remedies have included the proliferation of mid-tier healthcare providers such as nurse practitioners and physician’s assistants to alleviate the strain on doctors. However, there is sufficient evidence that patient education can critically impact the efficacy of the healthcare system and merits serious consideration for better patient outcomes and potentially reducing healthcare costs. This paper describes challenges and opportunities to patient education based on extensive research and practical insights from various disciplines. Furthermore, this paper sets forth recommendations for promoting a comprehensive, cohesive, and evolving patient education framework. </p>

Background: Multislice CT Scan (MSCT) brain examination in pediatric cases should pay attention to the lowest possible dose but still provide optimal anatomical information. Pediatric has a higher risk of developing cancer compared to adults who receive the same dose. The purpose of this study is to obtain the optimal value of the use of the Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction (ASIR)-V technique with variations in tube current strength and Iterative Reconstruction value which is implemented in pediatric patients under the age of 5 (five) years. Methods: This research was experimental with brain image samples of pediatric patients at the Radiology Installation of RSUD dr. Moewardi Surakarta. The variations of the tube currents selected were 80, 100, and 165 mA with a combination of AR20, AR40, AR60, and AR80 variations. Anatomical information processed descriptively sourced from the assessment of 3 (three) radiologists who were experienced in assessing MSCT images. Meanwhile, the effect of tube current variation on radiation dose was tested using linear regression. Results: The results showed differences in anatomical information between the combinations of 165 mA-AR60 and 165 mA-AR80 "very clear", 165 mA-AR20 "clear", 80 mA-AR20 "fairly clear" and 100 mA-AR80 "less clear". There was an effect of strong variation of tube current on radiation dose with a regression coefficient value of 0.690. The estimated effective doses of the three tube current values were still below the national Dose Reference Level (DRL). Conclusions: It was concluded that there were differences in anatomical information on the MSCT brain pediatric examination with variations in tube current and ASiR-V, there was an effect of variations in mA on radiation dose and mA values and the optimal value of the combination of techniques studied is 80 mA and 20% Iterative Reconstruction.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) individuals are more prone to acquire type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, the knowledge regarding this phenomenon is limited to individuals without diabetes mellitus (DM). Vitamin D deficiency may lead to a more pronounced shift in an individual's glucose metabolism. Moreover, hepatocytes and peripheral tissues may potentially benefit from vitamin D in terms of reducing insulin resistance induced by free fatty acids. Objective: In this study, serum vitamin D levels were examined in patients with NAFLD with T2DM, and its relationship with NAFLD without DM was evaluated.Subjects and Methods: A total of 120 subjects were included in this study, divided into three groups: Group I included 30 healthy subjects matched for sex and age, Group II included 50 patients with NAFLD who had diabetes, and Group III included 40 subjects without diabetes. Three groups were compared regarding clinical and biochemical characteristics concerning serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.Results: According to this study, people with NAFLD diagnosed by ultrasound examination Group II had significantly reduced serum levels of 25(OH) vitamin D compared to patients without NAFLD diagnosed by ultrasound examination Group II. There was a statistically significant difference between groups and 25(OH) vitamin D levels than group III. In addition, a highly significant difference in serum 25(OH) vitamin D levels was observed between groups II and III and the control group. Moreover, 25(OH) vitamin D is an independent predictor of T2DM in patients with NAFLD.Conclusion: Serum 25(OH) vitamin D levels were lower in patients with NAFLD and DM, indicating that low 25(OH) vitamin D status contributes to the onset and progression of diabetes mellitus in NAFLD.Keywords:25-hydroxy vitamin D[25(OH)D)], Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), diabetes mellitus.

A Portrait of an EFL Learners' Explanation Text: Cohesion and Coherence
Authors: Williyan Aldha 
Published: September 2023

This study aims to explore cohesion and coherence in an explanation text written by an EFL learner. To do this, the cohesive devices of the explanation text are analyzed. Also, the text is analyzed using the Thematic progressions theory to find out the logical relationship of the sentences and whether or not the text can meet the readers’ expectations. There are several steps to analyze both elements. The first is broking up the paragraphs of the text into sentences. The second is using Thematic progressions to analyze the text. Finally, the writer analyzed the cohesive devices which function to connect sentences. All those data later are elaborated in paragraphs as descriptive-qualitative research design is employed in this study. The results shows that, in term of cohesive devices, the writer uses direct repetition, partial repetition, and same lexical set to build lexical cohesion. It is also found that the writer uses reference, substitution, and ellipsis to build grammatical cohesion. However, the writer seems to have insufficient knowledge to use the cohesive devises correctly. Additionally, the analysis of Thematic progressions shows that some sentences in the text have no logical relationship. Lastly, this study finds that the writer also seem to have insufficient knowledge of schematic structures of the explanation text.

Information asymmetry, east-west cultural differences, and divergence in investor reactions
Authors: Lee Seungho , Walker Thomas , Zhang Aoran , Zhao Yunfei 
Published: September 2023

<p>This paper investigates the divergence in investor behaviour between the United States and China following the abolition of the Chinese presidential term limit in 2018, which may, in part, have reflected the heterogeneous opinions expressed in public online media regarding this event. Compared with Chinese investors, the sentiment among US investors was considerably more pessimistic. Accordingly, we find that Chinese companies listed in the United States significantly underperformed relative to a sample of propensity score-matched firms listed in China. Additionally, we find that the political connectedness of firms to the Chinese government strongly influenced the stock prices of US-listed Chinese firms.</p>

Trajectory Optimization Algorithm for a 4-DOF Redundant Parallel Robot Based on 12-Phase Sine Jerk Motion Profile
Authors: Hu Shengqiao , Kang Huimin , Tang Hao , Cui Zhengjie , Liu Zhicheng , Ouyang Puren 
Published: September 2023

<p>To improve high motion accuracy and efficiency in the high-speed operation of a 4-DOF (4 degrees of freedom) redundant parallel robot, this paper introduces a trajectory planning of the parallel robot in joint space based on the twelve-phase sine jerk motion profile. The 12-phase sine jerk motion profile utilizes the characteristics of a sine function. Furthermore, the penalty function is used to optimize the trajectory energy consumption under the constraint condition. The simulation and experimental results show that the energy consumption of joint space is slightly higher than that of the three-phase sine jerk motion profile, but the overall operation is more accurate and stable. Specifically, the sudden change of force and velocity in each joint is eliminated, which is the cause of mechanism oscillation. Moreover, the force of each joint is more average. The results indicate that each movement is closer to the maximum allowable limit and the running efficiency is higher. </p>

<p>This work quantifies the impact of pre-, during- and post-lockdown periods of 2020 and 2019 imposed due to COVID-19, with regards to a set of satellite-based environmental parameters (greenness using Normalized Difference Vegetation and water indices, land surface temperature, night-time light, and energy consumption) in five alpha cities (Kuala Lumpur, Mexico, greater Mumbai, Sao Paulo, Toronto). We have inferenced our results with an extensive questionnaire-based survey of expert opinions about the environment-related UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Results showed considerable variation due to the lockdown on environment-related SDGs. The growth in the urban environmental variables during lockdown phase 2020 relative to a similar period in 2019 varied from 13.92% for Toronto to 13.76% for greater Mumbai to 21.55% for Kuala Lumpur; it dropped to −10.56% for Mexico and −1.23% for Sao Paulo city. The total lockdown was more effective in revitalizing the urban environment than partial lockdown. Our results also indicated that Greater Mumbai and Toronto, which were under a total lockdown, had observed positive influence on cumulative urban environment. While in other cities (Mexico City, Sao Paulo) where partial lockdown was implemented, cumulative lockdown effects were found to be in deficit for a similar period in 2019, mainly due to partial restrictions on transportation and shopping activities. The only exception was Kuala Lumpur which observed surplus growth while having partial lockdown because the restrictions were only partial during the festival of Ramadan. Cumulatively, COVID-19 lockdown has contributed significantly towards actions to reduce degradation of natural habitat (fulfilling SDG-15, target 15.5), increment in available water content in Sao Paulo urban area(SDG-6, target 6.6), reduction in NTL resulting in reducied per capita energy consumption (SDG–13, target 13.3). </p>
COVID-19 in Toronto: A Spatial Exploratory Analysis
Authors: de Noronha Vaz Eric 
Published: September 2023

<p> </p>
<p>COVID-19 has had a significant impact on a global scale. Evident signs of spatial-explicit characteristics have been noted. Nevertheless, publicly available data are scarce, impeding a complete picture of the locational impacts of COVID-19. This paper aimed to assess, confirm, and validate several geographical attributes of the geography of the pandemic. A spatial modeling framework defined whether there was a clear spatial profile to COVID-19 and the key socio-economic characteristics of the distribution in Toronto. A stepwise backward regression model was generated within a geographical information systems framework to establish the key variables influencing the spread of COVID-19 in Toronto. Further to this analysis, spatial autocorrelation was performed at the global and local levels, followed by an error and lag spatial regression to understand which explanatory framework best explained disease spread. The findings support that COVID-19 is strongly spatially explicit and that geography matters in preventing spread. Social injustice, infrastructure, and neighborhood cohesion are evident characteristics of the increasing spread and incidence of COVID-19. Mitigation of incidents can be carried out by intertwining local policies with spatial monitoring strategies at the neighborhood level throughout large cities, ensuring open data and adequacy of information management within the knowledge chain.</p>
