Introduction. An early detection of malignant neoplasms is of great practical importance for improvement of treatment results.
Objective. To analyze the levels of dehydrocholecalciferol in patients with different forms of malignant neoplasms of the pancreas and chronic pancrestitis.
Materials and methods. The cohort study enclosed the data from 160 patients, who were examined and treated in the Academician A.M. Granov Russian Scientific Center of Radiology and Surgical Technologies for the period from 2018 to 2022. The main group included 89 patients with morphologically confirmed diagnosis of the pancreatic cancer without metastases. The control group included 71 patient with the confirmed diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. Vitamin D concentration was controlled prior to treatment.
Results. The size of the tumor node with the location of pathological process in the head of the pancreas varied from 2.1 to 6.3 cm. In the subgroup of patients with tumor lesion of the head of the pancreas, decompression of biliary ducts due to mechanical jaundice was implemented in 43 (82.6 %) persons. When comparing the indicators of 25(ОН)D concentration, in 36 (69.2 %) patients of the main group, different degrees of fall of vitamin D concentration in blood plasma were found. Most often a pronounced deficit of vitamin D was diagnosed in patients with the tumor localized in the head of the pancreas (8 (15.9 % patients). Out of 37 patients with localization of the tumor node in the body/tail, 25 (67.5 %) persons demonstrated normal values of blood plasma vitamin D and 12 (13.4 %) different degrees of decrease in vitamin D concentration. A marked deficit of vitamin D was diagnosed in 2 (16.6 %) patients, deficit of vitamin D in 7 (58.3 %), insufficiency in 3 (25 %). In the control group, decrease in vitamin D level was determine in 12 (16.9 %) patients. An apparent deficit of vitamin D was diagnosed in 3 (4.2 %) patients, deficit of vitamin D in 4 (5.6 %), and insufficiency of vitamin D in 7 (9.8 %); normal values were registered in 57 (80.2 %) persons.
Conclusions. Taking into account the obtained data regarding a reliable association between the deficit and insufficiency of vitamin D and the cancer of the head of the pancreas as well as literature data, it is worthwhile to use this indicator as a marker of early detection of pancreatic cancer in risk group patients.

Abstrak: Rendahnya kemandirian belajar siswa selama kegiatan pembelajaran online dapat menurunkan efektivitas capaian tujuan pembelajaran. Hal tersebut dapat terjadi dalam pembelajaran akuntansi. Akuntansi membutuhkan kemampuan ikhtisar, identifikasi, dan analisis akurat, oleh sebab itu dibutuhkan peran kemandirian belajar. Penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mendeskripsikan bagaimana kemandirian belajar siswa dalam kegiatan pembelajaran akuntansi secara online. Sampel penelitian ini sebanyak 139 siswa yang diambil menggunakan teknik sampling jenuh. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan yakni observasi, wawancara, dan dokumen. Teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis persentase yang diklasifikasikan sesuai tingkat kategori dan disajikan dalam bentuk deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari kelima aspek yang diukur, terdapat satu aspek kemandirian belajar yang rendah, yaitu kepercayaan diri. Rendahnya kepercayaan diri menghambat kelancaran kegiatan pembelajaran, karena suasana kelas yang kurang aktif mengakibatkan tujuan pembelajaran kurang tercapai secara maksimal. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa kemandirian belajar sangat diperlukan untuk mencapai efektivitas tujuan pembelajaran.Abstract: The low independence of student learning in the online learning process can reduce the effectiveness of learning objectives achievement, including in economics (accounting) subjects. Accounting includes materials that require analytical skills, high identification, and effort. Therefore, more learning independence is needed to achieve maximum learning goals. This quantitative descriptive research aims to describe how big and to what extent students' learning independence is in online accounting learning activities. The sample of this study was 139 students taken using a saturated sampling technique. The research instruments used were observations, interviews, and documents. Data analysis techniques used percentage analysis classified according to category level and presented in descriptive form. The results showed that of the five aspects measured, one aspect of learning independence was low, namely self-confidence. Low self-confidence hinders the smooth running of learning activities because the classroom atmosphere is less active, so learning objectives are not achieved optimally. This proves that independent learning is necessary to achieve the effectiveness of learning objectives.

Abstract
A healthy environment must have air free of pollution, but this issue has always existed and now affects the entire population. The PM2.5 particulate matter, which primarily originates from the car fleet, is one of the pollutants that has the biggest impact. With the energy crisis in the 1970s and the ensuing construction of closed buildings (without natural ventilation), primarily in developed countries, indoor air quality emerged as a science. It then gained importance when it was found that the declining ventilation levels in those nations were largely to blame for the rising concentrations of pollutants in indoor air. The occupants of buildings themselves make a considerable contribution to the pollution of these settings through their activities, and it is well acknowledged that poor ventilation is one of the most critical factors affecting indoor air quality. Sick building syndrome and poor indoor air quality are both connected to ailments like colds, allergies, and coughing. The application of special legislation must be integrated with research and education of building occupants to effectively provide a healthy environment. The goal of this review is to analyze various findings from investigations on the effects of PM2.5 particulate matter pollution on the internal and exterior urban environment, as well as the effects of these concentrations on human health. By comparing the findings with other studies, it is possible to compare the findings and identify some common behaviors of fine particles, determining the concentration differences in the environments and showing how different sources and conditions can produce different variations in concentrations.
Implementation of Bayesian Simulation for Earthquake Disaster Risk Analysis in Indonesia based on Gutenberg Richter Model and Copula Method
Authors: Oktaviana Pratnya Paramitha , Fithriasari Kartika 
Published: June 2023

Indonesia is a country prone to earthquakes because it is located in the Pasific ring of fire area. The earthquakes caused a lot of damages and casualties. In this paper, we use Bayesian Simulation on Gutenberg Richter model and Copula method to estimate the risk parameters of earthquake, specifically the probability and the recurrence (return) period of an earthquake occurrence in Indonesia. Those risk parameters are estimated from dependence structure of frequency and magnitude of earthquakes. The dependence structure can be determined by using Gutenberg Richter model and Copula method. The Gutenberg Richter model is a model based on linear regression used to determine dependence structure, while the Copula method is a statistical method used to determine dependence structure that ignores linearity and normality assumptions of data.Â Bayesian Simulation is a method used to estimate parameters based on simulation. The data used is an annual data of frequency and magnitude (magnitude â‰¥ 4 RichterÂ Scale) of earthquakes occur in Indonesia for 4 years from Meteorological, Climatological, and Geophysical Agency of Indonesia. There are several steps of analysis to be performed: firstly, we perform regression analysis of frequency and magnitude of the earthquakes to determine Gutenberg Richter Model; secondly, we perform Copula analysis; thirdly, we estimate probability and the recurrence (return) period of an earthquake occurrence using Bayesian Simulation based on the result of step one and two. The result indicates Bayesian Simulation can estimate risk parameters very well.
Inter-Cultural Communication: Sipakatau-Sipakalebbi Among Bugis-Kaili Couples in Palu
Authors: Kaddi Sitti Murni , Akifah Andi 
Published: June 2023

This article investigates intercultural marriage from the perspective of communication between ethnic Bugis (migrants) and ethnic Kaili (natives) in Palu City, Central Sulawesi. This study seeks to analyze and investigate the cultural principle of sipakatau-sipakalebbi (mutual respect and humanization) among married Bugis and Kaili couples in Palu City. Through an examination of the patterns and practices of intercultural communication and family communication through the lens of Indonesian local culture, this research contributes to the Relational Dialectic Theory using a case study methodology. The empirical findings of this study indicate that the sipakatau culture (mutual humanization) and the sipakalebbi principle (mutual respect), which are the guiding principles and communication strategies of Bugis ethnics, are still adhered to in their interactions with others, even though many of them are married to individuals of different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. This study also found that Bugis and Kaili inter-ethnic marriage partners understand the dynamics and communicate all the dynamics concerning these cultural differences, allowing for the resolution of problems and estrangement, including those that contribute to marital conflict. Due to a lack of comprehension of the sipakatau sipakalebbi principle on the part of Kaili couples, this principle has yet to satisfy Bugis couples in practice.
Precision orthodontics

Published: June 2023

Precision medicine (PM) is an emerging approach that advocates tailoring healthcare by personalising medical decisions, treatments, behaviours, or goods to a subset of individuals rather than employing a one-drug-fits-all strategy. Molecular diagnostics, imaging, and analytics are examples of precision medicine tools. Precision medical advances foreshadowed comparable advancements in orthodontics, and they can be used to produce tailored treatment approaches and improve treatment efficiency. This article presents an overview of recent developments in computer technology and biomedicine, as well as their current and expected future uses in precision orthodontics. It is necessary to conduct an evaluation of orthodontically relevant technology and developments in relevant biological research. Within the next few decades, advances in computer software and hardware, as well as 3D imaging technology, will offer for more individualised therapy and biomechanical planning. The prospects for personalised orthodontic bracket’s manufacturing with adequate material qualities and digital technology in the future are both appealing and persuasive.
The Catechist in the Community of the Church — a Witness of Faith and a Mistagogue
Authors: Buchta Roman 
Published: June 2023

English translation. The original article can be found here
While establishing the lay ministry of the catechist, Pope Francis expressed his hope that, as was the case in Christian antiquity, the catechist—because of the tasks entrusted to him—would be simultaneously a witness of faith, a master and a mystagogue, a companion and an educator who teaches on behalf of the Church. The aim of this article is to highlight the mystagogical dimension of the education of catechists preparing to enter the ministry in parish communities, and to present the related directions of pastoral activities carried out in the Church of Katowice as part of the Archdiocesan Centre for Pastoral Formation. The main research problem concerns the nature of the formation of catechists serving in parish communities and their specific competences. The study uses the methods of analysis and synthesis. The analysis of catechetical documents, carried out in the light of chronologically (sequentially) complementary guidelines concerning catechists' formation enabled to distinguish the mystagogical elements of the theological-pastoral formation of catechists. The article emphasises the postulate expressed in the Catechetical Directory for the formation of catechists as “witnesses of faith and mystagogues” and the lay ministry of the catechist established by Pope Francis, as a possibility and necessity for the formation of two types of catechists that complement each other through their competences: the school catechist—a teacher of religious education, and the catechist who undertakes ministry in the parish community. Pastoral initiatives supporting the formation of parish catechists conducted in the Archdiocese of Katowice are presented as an example of catechetical-pastoral implementation of the postulated activities. They serve as an inspiration for activities in other formation centres.
The Common Priesthood of Lutherans and Catholics
Authors: Blanco-Sarto Pablo 
Published: June 2023

English translation. The original article can be found here
Luther insisted on the royal, common or universal priesthood of all the baptised, as the Second Vatican Council also recalled, referring to the mutual complementarity between the common and ministerial priesthood, which however differ non tantum gradu sed essentiam (cf. LG 10). These pages review the main points on the common priesthood, according to Luther's proposal and the response of the Councils of Trent and Vatican II and, as a complementary counterpoint, add the teachings of a 20th century Catholic author, Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer, partly before and partly after Vatican II, which could be of interest for understanding the subject under discussion. The similarities and differences are thus noted here, which are conducive to the subsequent ecumenical dialogue on this subject, which is acquiring particular importance in the context of the theology of synodality.

La région de la réserve de biosphère de Luki connaît un changement dans les comportements alimentaires de sa population. La consommation des chenilles fait partie des nouvelles habitudes alimentaires de celle-ci. Cependant, la population fait état de la diminution, au fil des années, de la disponibilité des chenilles qu’elle consomme. Pourtant, aucune donnée n’existe à ce jour sur les chenilles comestibles dans la région. Notre étude s'est intéressée aux acteurs de la collecte et de la consommation des chenilles dans cette région, à leurs connaissances locales concernant cette ressource alimentaire ainsi qu’au contexte de gestion des chenilles dans lequel s'effectue leur cueillette. Les enquêtes structurées à l’aide d’un questionnaire auprès de 578 collecteurs préalablement recensés dans 22 villages et des observations directes sur terrain ont été réalisées de septembre 2020 à janvier 2021. Les résultats révèlent que la consommation de chenilles y est une activité récente et que les acteurs sont majoritairement des jeunes hommes ainsi que des hommes adultes relevant de tous les groupes ethnolinguistiques qui y vivent. Ils connaissent leurs chenilles alimentaires qu’ils désignent par un nom vernaculaire d’emprunt et les identifient à partir des traits morphologiques. Dix catégories locales de chenilles consommées ont été recensées et quatre ont été identifiées au niveau de l’espèce. Le cycle de vie des chenilles consommées est peu connu de la population. Les lieux de collecte sont les jachères, les forêts, les zones habitées et les savanes, où les chenilles se nourrissent sur 46 espèces de plantes hôtes appartenant à 20 familles botaniques. Leur collecte s’effectue dans un contexte de pressions anthropiques avec l’utilisation par la majorité des collecteurs de techniques destructrices. Cette étude a permis d’avoir un aperçu sur la dynamique locale concernant les chenilles comestibles pour leur prise en compte dans les mesures de gestion de la réserve de biosphère de Luki ainsi que dans les plans locaux de développement des villages situés dans sa périphérie.
