Published: January 2025

Metode bercerita berbasis nilai-nilai karakter sangat penting diterapkan untuk membentuk karakter yang baik pada anak sesuai dengan ajaran agama Islam. Berdasarkan observasi awal yang dilakukan di RA Fathun Qarib, peneliti menemukan bahwa para guru telah mengimplementasikan metode bercerita untuk membangun dan membentuk karakter positif pada anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis lebih dalam mengenai implementasi metode bercerita berbasis nilai-nilai karakter anak di RA Fathun Qarib. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif yang melibatkan dua guru dari kelas A2 di RA Fathun Qarib Banda Aceh sebagai subjek penelitian. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan lembar observasi dan pedoman wawancara, kemudian dianalisis melalui tahapan penyajian data, reduksi data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi metode bercerita berbasis nilai-nilai karakter anak di RA Fathun Qarib dilakukan dengan menggunakan buku cerita sebagai media dan melibatkan sesi recalling di akhir kegiatan bercerita. Berdasarkan data tersebut, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa metode bercerita telah diterapkan dengan baik di RA Fathun Qarib. Namun, masih perlu untuk ditingkatkan lagi baik dari segi penggunaan media maupun kesiapan guru dalam mengimplemetasikan metode ini, sehingga metode ini lebih efektif dan efisien dalam menyampaikan nilai-nilai karakter pada anak.

Abstract
We present an analysis of the spatial distribution of globular cluster (GC) systems of 118 nearby early-type galaxies in the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey and Mass Assembly of early-Type GaLAxies with their fine Structures survey programs, which both used MegaCam on the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope. We describe the procedure used to select GC candidates and fit the spatial distributions of GCs to a two-dimensional Sérsic function, which provides effective radii (half number radii) and Sérsic indices, and estimate background contamination by adding a constant term to the Sérsic function. In cases where a neighboring galaxy affects the estimation of the GC spatial distribution in the target galaxy, we fit two two-dimensional Sérsic functions, simultaneously. We also investigate the color distributions of GCs in our sample by using Gaussian mixture modeling. For GC systems with bimodal color distributions, we divide the GCs into blue and red subgroups and fit their respective spatial distributions with Sérsic functions. Finally, we measure the total number of GCs based on our fitted Sérsic function, and calculate the GC specific frequency.
Hinode EIS: Updated In-flight Radiometric Calibration
Authors: Del Zanna G. , Weberg M. J. , Warren H. P. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
We present an update to the in-flight radiometric calibration of the Hinode Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS), revising and extending our previous studies. We analyze full-spectral EIS observations of quiet Sun (QS) and active regions (ARs) from 2007 until 2022. Using CHIANTI version 10, we adjust the EIS relative effective areas for a selection of dates with emission measure analyses of off-limb QS. We find generally good agreement (within typically ±15%) between measured and expected line intensities. We then consider selected intensity ratios for all of the dates and apply an automatic fitting method to adjust the relative effective areas. To constrain the absolute values from 2010 and later, we force agreement between EIS and Solar Dynamics Observatory Atmospheric Imaging Assembly 193 Å observations. The resulting calibration, with an uncertainty of about ±20%, is then validated in various ways, including flare line ratios from Fe xxiv and Fe xvii, emission measure analyses of cool AR loops, and several density-dependent line ratios.
Twinkle: A GPU-based Binary-lens Microlensing Code with the Contour Integration Method
Authors: Wang Suwei , Wang Lile , Dong Subo 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
With the rapidly increasing rate of microlensing planet detections, microlensing modeling software faces significant challenges in computation efficiency. Here, we develop the Twinkle code, an efficient and robust binary-lens modeling software suite optimized for heterogeneous computing devices, especially GPUs. Existing microlensing codes have the issue of catastrophic cancellation that undermines the numerical stability and precision, and Twinkle resolves them by refining the coefficients of the binary-lens equation. We also devise an improved method for robustly identifying ghost images, thereby enhancing computational reliability. We have advanced the state of the art by optimizing Twinkle specifically for heterogeneous computing devices by taking into account the unique task and cache memory dispatching patterns of GPUs, while the compatibility with the traditional computing architectures of CPUs is still maintained. Twinkle has demonstrated an acceleration of approximately 2 orders of magnitude (≳102×) on contemporary GPUs. The enhancement in computational speed of Twinkle will translate to the delivery of accurate and highly efficient data analysis for ongoing and upcoming microlensing projects. Both GPU and CPU versions of Twinkle are open-source and publicly available.
Addressing Distribution Discrepancies in Pulsar Candidate Identification via Bayesian-neural-network-based Multimodal Incremental Learning
Authors: Liu Yi , Jin Jing , Zhao Hongyang , Wang Zhenyi , Shen Yi 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
With the advancement of astronomical observation technology and the substantial increase in data volume, traditional methods for pulsar identification are increasingly challenged by the dynamic nature of data distributions. To address this, our study introduces a multimodal incremental learning approach utilizing Bayesian neural networks. This method enables the model to adapt to new data distributions while preserving the knowledge of previous data. In our experiments, we utilized pulsar data sets from two telescopes and compared our new method with traditional techniques. The research results demonstrate that our method performs comparably to traditional methods across all evaluation metrics, while showing a significant improvement in handling data distribution discrepancy, with the F1-score increasing from approximately 70% to over 95%. Specifically, our model achieved an accuracy of 97.93%, a recall of 96.13%, and an F1-score of 97.02% under conditions of distributional disparities. These findings not only confirm the model's capability to adapt to dynamic data environments but also effectively address the challenges of data distribution discrepancy, significantly enhancing the predictive accuracy of pulsar identification in the context of evolving and variable radio frequency interference environments.

Dysphotopsia after uneventful phacoemulsification
Authors: Mohammed Mohammed A. 
Published: January 2025

Background
Unexpected negative visual outcomes, especially after uneventful phacoemulsification, are frustrating to patients and surgeons. Dysphotopsia is one of the main causes of this dissatisfaction after uneventful phacoemulsification. Our study aimed to describe the prevalence of this type of dysphotopsia after uneventful phacoemulsification in our practice at Suez hospitals department.

Patients and methods
This study was conducted at the Ophthalmology Outpatient Clinic of Suez General Hospital on 120 eyes from 120 patients who underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation from January to April 2024. Subjectively, patients were asked about dysphotopsia symptoms 1 month after surgery, and their symptoms were improved with conservative treatment. We reviewed pathophysiology and various treatment modalities that are accessible, such as observation, nonsurgical correction options such as conservative management, medication-assisted miosis, optical correction, and surgical correction options as a last resort for serious cases.

Results
Six cases of dysphotopsia (5%) were identified among the 120 patients in the study: 2 patients recorded negative dysphotopsia (1.7%), and 4 patients had positive dysphotopsia (3.3%).

Conclusion
Patients now anticipate satisfaction from cataract surgery, which is becoming a common procedure. Both the patient and the surgeon may become frustrated when dysphotopsia occurs, which incidentally occurs in a flawlessly performed procedure. In our study, 6 patients out of 120 patients had dysphotopsia, which was resolved with conservative treatment only. Enhancing treatment and preventing this specific cause of postoperative complaints may be achieved by having a thorough understanding of this matter, its possible risk factors, and its successful methods of management.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
In Nigeria, cervical cancer kills one woman every hour. Screening for cervical cancer is still opportunistic.

Objectives:
This study aimed at performing cervical screening for women in Kaduna State by using “screen and treat” and determining the correlates of premalignant lesions with socio-demography and risk factors and treating women testing positive.

Materials and Methods:
Using multistage sampling, three hospitals were chosen, community entry was done, and a structured proforma was used to obtain data. Consenting eligible women were screened using visual inspection methods. Women with positive lesions were immediately treated using thermocoagulation or loop electrosurgical excision procedure, while biopsy samples were taken for suspicious malignancy. Quantitative data were summarized using frequency and proportions for categorical variables. Only those with “positive or negative” results were included in the analysis.

Results:
Four hundred and twenty-six women were screened, but 364 were included in the final analysis. The mean age and parity were 37.2 ± 6.9 and 4.8 ± 2.5, respectively. The majority were multiparous, with multiple lifetime sexual partners. One-fourth of the participants had early coitarche. The prevalence of premalignant lesions was 3.8% (n = 16). None of the identified risk factors including age, coitarche, parity, and sexual partners was significantly associated with a positive cervical lesion (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:
The prevalence of premalignant lesions was low in Kaduna State, Nigeria, and not significantly associated with any of the risk factors analyzed. A larger study will be needed to verify these findings.
Association of Body Mass Index and Physical Activity with Psychological Stress among Female Undergraduate Students in Nigeria
Authors: Ojukwu Chidiebele P. , Ozioko Chinwendu A. , Ebulum Genevieve C. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background:
The prevalence of stress among university students has emerged as a significant concern, with notable impacts on their academic performance and overall well-being. Despite the growing body of literature on the association between body mass index (BMI), physical activity (PA), and stress, there is a shortage of research in Nigeria.

Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the associations of stress with BMI and PA among female students in Nigeria.

Materials and Methods:
A cross-sectional survey design was employed, and data were collected from a convenience sample of 301 female undergraduate students at a Nigerian university. The Perceived Stress Scale and International PA Questionnaire—Short Form assessed stress and PA. BMI was calculated from the participant’s weight and height.

Results:
Participants’ mean BMI was 22.5 ± 3.8 with 68.4% falling within the normal BMI range. A greater percentage reported low levels of PA (60.8%) and moderate stress levels (67.4%). There was no significant relationship between BMI and stress (r = −0.090, P = 0.131). However, a low level of PA was associated with increased stress (r = −0.131, P = 0.027).

Conclusion:
PA significantly influences stress. Universities should facilitate an exercise-friendly environment and encourage PA programs for female students.

Abstract

Background:
Patient satisfaction is often a subjective phenomenon. An objective method of assessment of patient satisfaction is by conducting surveys and obtaining patient satisfaction scores by means of feedback in the form of a questionnaire.

Objective:
To perform a patient satisfaction survey at a field hospital established by India in a conflict zone in South Sudan, where the healthcare setup is a challenge, as no such study has been performed previously.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 168 patients admitted into the hospital for necessary management were enrolled. The feedback was based on a questionnaire format which had six major criteria. Each criterion was defined by individual questions, and each question was scored on a scale of 1–5.

Results:
A total of 144 (85.7%) patients reported being satisfied with the overall hospital practices; 88% (n = 148) were satisfied with the overall quality of medical care provided by the hospital; and 89.3% (n = 150) were satisfied with the nursing care and care from the various service providers. A total of 97 (54.7%) patients were satisfied with the quality of food served.

Conclusion:
The majority of services and practices were comprehensively reported as satisfactory by the patients. However, satisfaction with the quality of food served was low and requires improvements by the service providers.

Published: January 2025

Introduction:
The escalation of United States (U.S.) spine surgery volume has been accompanied by considerable advancements in our understanding of spine physiology and technology. Together with implant development over the past decades, these improvements have led to shifts in implant usage. This investigation aimed to elucidate the trends in spinal implant utilization in the U.S. from 2013 to 2022.

Materials and Methods:
Spine implant utilization and pricing averages between 2013 and 2022 were extracted from Orthopedic Network News. The total sample composed of 664,310 spine procedure purchase orders. Prices were adjusted for inflation based on 2022 prices. Trends were analyzed using linear regression.

Results:
The U.S. spine procedure volume increased significantly from around 800,000 procedures per year in 2013 to over 1.1 million in 2022, with 73% comprising lumbar and cervical fusions. The proportion of procedures performed in patients over 64 years old increased significantly in both lumbar and cervical cases, constituting 50% and 37% of procedures, respectively. In lumbar spine in 2022, 46% of procedures utilized both pedicle screws (PSs) and interbody devices, 37% PSs only, and 13% interbody devices only. Lumbar PS price decreased significantly to $923 each despite stable lumbar and cervical fusion procedure costs. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and allograft interbody device usage declined while metal increased significantly.

Conclusion:
Nationwide spine procedure volume rose notably from 2013 to 2022, with the majority constituting lumbar and cervical fusions. The most frequent treatment for a lumbar fusion is a PS construct with an interbody fusion device. Interbody fusion device materials witnessed decline in the use of PEEK and allograft, with metals becoming the preferred material.

Perioperative complications in primary intramedullary tumors of the spine in adults. A multicenter surveillance study of 307 patients from the German Spine Registry (DWG-Register)
Authors: Vinas-Rios Juan Manuel , Heck Vincent J. , Medina-Govea Fatima Azucena , Islas-Aguilar Mario Alberto , Kernich Nikolaus ,   DWG-Registry Group
Published: January 2025

Background:
Intramedullary tumors represent only 10% of the spectrum of spinal tumors. Their management is not an easy task and depends essentially on the surgical resection which can be very challenging. The main aim of our study was to analyze the complication rate in intramedullary tumors as well as postoperative outcome after intramedullary tumor resection.

Methods:
This was a retrospective analysis of data from the “DWG-Register” of patients who have undergone operative treatment for primary intramedullary tumors in 170 departments from January 2017 to May 2021. Since 2017, pre-, intra-, and postoperative data until demission from the hospital have been continually collected in the “DWG-Register” (a total of 179,955 in a period of 4 years in 170 departments).

Results:
In total, 307 primary intramedullary tumors in the spine were identified; n = 248 (Group 1) had nonoperative complications and n = 59 had a complication related to the surgical procedure (Group 2); taking this in to account, die complication rate was 19.2%. The incidence of complications was: epidural hematoma n = 5 (8.4%), paresis n = 23 (38.9%), bowel/bladder dysfunction n = 15 (25.4%), wound infection n = 5 (8.4%), medullary injury n = 2 (3.4%), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage n = 15 (25.4%), and reintervention with hematoma, abscess, or surgical CSF leakage management in n = 22 (37.2%). The risk of permanent morbidity increased with a thoracic level, masculine gender, a long clinical history, presence of epidural hemorrhage, blood transfusion, and surgery on a recurrent tumor.

Conclusion:
Medullary tumors are a rare entity with a relative high complication rate (20%). Improvement of symptoms postoperative depends on several factors such as operated level, masculine gender, a long clinical history, presence of epidural hemorrhage, blood transfusion, and surgery on a recurrent tumor. In rare pathologies such as intramedullary tumors, the data from the DWG Register can be used to describe spinal surgery care in “real life.”
A new method to assess lumbar vertebral body rotation on simple radiographs
Authors: Lee Suk-Joong , Joung Sanghyun , Kim Sungmin , Lee Hyun-Joo , Deslivia Maria Florencia 
Published: January 2025

Introduction and Objectives:
A number of sophisticated methods have been used to identify the degree of vertebral rotation. This is an experimental model using saw bone and motorized device to identify the possible parameter of vertebral body axial rotation on simple radiographs.

Materials and Methods:
A sawbones model of the lumbar spine was used in this study. The sawbones was attached to a zigzag motorized rotation device. The device rotated the model vertebra by 1°. Fluoroscopic images were obtained for each pose. We developed a customized program to calculate the indices automatically. Three formulas were used to determine the ratio that corresponds to the rotation angle: (1) ratio of the total width of the vertebral body to the length between the lateral margin and center of two pedicles, (2) ratio of the total width of the vertebral body to the length between two pedicles, and (3) ratio of the length between two pedicles to the total width of the vertebral body.

Results:
The correlation coefficient between the rotation angle and formula 1 was −0.9995. The correlation coefficient for the other two parameters was extremely low (0.036 for formula 2 and 0.16 for formula 3).

Conclusions:
The rotation angle can be easily and accurately determined by calculating the abovementioned parameters on simple radiographs.
