Improving Patient Flow in the Emergency Rooms using Coloured Petri Nets and the ACO Algorithm

Overcrowding is certainly one of the major problems that have affected the work of the health care system in recent years, especially in the Emergency Department (ED), In addition, overcrowding has a significant impact on the quality of health care in hospitals. In addition to creating issues for patients and staff, overcrowding in the ED can lead to medical errors, longer wait times, and thus causes financial losses to hospitals. Emergency services are considered necessary in society, given the human need for them at any stage of their life. The emergency department is a complex system due to the nature of the resources it contains. Many researchers are interested in proposing many solutions to solve many problems in the emergency department. Researchers rely on many methods and techniques such as simulation, optimization algorithms, data mining, and other methods. In this research, we try to propose an approach based on the ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms and colored Petri nets, the aim of which is to reduce waiting times and thus reduce the length of the patient’s stay. Simulation models are built utilizing colored Petri nets, and to determine human resources, the ACO algorithms are used. This research helps the administrative staff in the emergency department find appropriate solutions for human resources.

Promoting and Sustaining Sexual Health as a Health Resource in Prisons - A Scoping Review

There is limited knowledge concerning how to promote and sustain the sexual health of prisoners. The aim of this study was to increase knowledge of sexual health promotion as a health resource in prisons. By conducting a scoping review, we searched for sexual health-promoting activities, approaches or experiences from prisons globally. The findings included sexual health interventions covering conjugal visits and sexual health promotion through education and collaboration. There are connections between mental health and sexual health for prisoners, and sexual health also influences quality of life. In conclusion, it is evident that there is a significant imperative for further research, interventions and measures in this domain to ensure holistic rehabilitation for prisoners.

Underoil superhydrophilic flame-retardant 3D porous composite for efficient on-demand emulsion separation: Interface engineering design on sphagnum moss

Oil pollution and the energy crisis make oil-water separation an urgent for human need. The widespread use of materials with a single emulsion separation capability is limited. Multifunctional on-demand separation materials can adapt to a wide range of application scenarios, thus having a wider range of applications. The underoil superhydrophilic surface is of great significance for realizing the on-demand separation of oil/water emulsions through the removal of water in the oil and oil in the water. A 3D porous emulsion separation material based on the superhydrophilic principle of sphagnum moss was designed. The material was prepared in a simple step by taking advantage of the adhesion of polydopamine and the introduction of the as-prepared superhydrophilic BaSO4 nanoparticles to achieve superhydrophilicity with a water contact angle (WCA) of 0° and an oil contact angle (OCA) of 157.3°, resulting in excellent separation performance for both water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions. Underoil superhydrophilic porous composite (OSPC) can complete two kinds of emulsion separations by filtration or adsorption. It adsorbs water from water-in-oil emulsion to achieve separation, with a good adsorption capacity of 74.38 g/g and efficiency up to 99%. It can also filter oil-in-water emulsions with an efficiency of 99.92%. The separation efficiencies are all almost unchanged after ten separation cycles. Furthermore, the material has excellent flame retardancy, which reduces the possibility of secondary disasters. The three-dimensional porous sponge has excellent on-demand separation performance for multiple emulsions. It provides a new preparation strategy for underoil superhydrophilic materials and a new idea for the design direction of special wetting materials for the on-demand separation of oil/water emulsions.

Revitalisasi Sistem Penyaringan Air Bersih Di Desa Gegerung Kecamatan Lingsar Kabupaten Lombok Barat

Water is the main need for humans to fulfill life's needs. For humans, clean water is absolutely necessary for various needs, namely for bathing, washing, cooking and so on. There are several water sources that humans can use, including springs, river water and ground water. Water sourced from springs and groundwater is relatively better quality, while water sourced from rivers requires prior management. Gegerung Village is one of the villages in Lingsar District, West Lombok Regency. Some of the people of Gegerung Village depend on their water needs from the Meninting River which passes through their area. The existing water supply system is by tapping directly from the river. Before being distributed, the water first passes through a filtering system so that the water becomes clearer. However, the current condition of the water filtration system cannot function properly so that the distributed water remains dirty. To get clean water again, it is necessary to revitalize the water filtration system. Revitalization is an effort to restore the function of the water filtration system by cleaning and replacing the filter media material. The results of the tests carried out show that there is an improvement in water quality after replacing the filtering media

Ghaflah dan Counterterm-nya dalam Al-Qur’an Menurut Tafsir fi Ẓilal Al-Qur’an

Al-Qur'an is a very important primary source because it includes everything that humans need. However, in reality, not everyone living in this world receives guidance in their lives. The aim of this research is to explore the concept of ghaflah (negligence) and identify terms or concepts that are opposed to it in the Al-Qur'an, using Sayyid Qutb's tafsir as an analytical framework. This research method uses library research, so the technique used for data processing consists of evaluating data obtained from data collection techniques then grouping and categorizing the data according to the problem being studied and then analyzing it. The results of the research show the meaning of ghaflah and its counterterms in the interpretation of Fi Dzilal al-Qur'an. First, ghaflah is negligent behavior that deliberately ignores all of God's gifts in the form of guidance, guidance, favors, gifts, and signs of His greatness, as well as indifference to oneself and one's surroundings. Second, the counterterms of ghaflah are gratitude and dhikr. Being grateful to Allah means being aware of the blessings Allah has given you and doing dhikr as an effort to remember that Allah is the strongest.

The language of nature in Murray Bowen's writings: how connection to nature informs Bowen theory and is essential to human survival

AbstractThe human is a product of nature, and the same emotional process at work in families is at work in the relationship of the human to nature. Current global concerns and environmental changes highlight the need for humans to revisit their relationships with the natural world. The purpose of this study was to survey Murray Bowen's professional letters to reify the constructs of Bowen theory. Qualitative methodology with a narrative research design was employed. A sample (N = 250) of Dr Bowen's professional letters from the archives dating from 1965 to 1990 was analysed. Results from this analysis reveal that Bowen's writings are grounded in the language of nature and that Bowen's thinking about the human species and the family offers ways in which to see the family and humans as part of a larger system. Relating more maturely to the natural world is essential for human survival.

Menumbuhkan Gaya Hidup Sehat Sejak Dini Melalui Pendidikan Jasmani, Olahraga, Dan Kesehatan

A healthy lifestyle is a basic human need that is important to be nurtured from an early age through physical education, sports and health (PJOK). This study aims to explore effective methods to instill healthy habits in primary school students. Using a qualitative approach, this study reviewed literature from various sources to identify the best strategies for teaching healthy lifestyles. The results showed that storytelling, FGDs, ice-breaking, and the use of appropriate learning media are very effective in increasing students' understanding and motivation about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. In addition, physical education plays an important role in shaping students' understanding and behavior towards a healthy lifestyle through a curriculum that is integrated with physical activity. Families and communities also play an important role in supporting these efforts by providing a supportive environment and good role models. The main challenges in instilling healthy habits are resistance to change and the influence of unhealthy habits from the environment. Proposed solutions include consistency in setting good examples, variety of healthy foods, and cooperation between educators and parents.

Temperature exposure and sleep duration: Evidence from time use surveys

The Earth’s climate is projected to warm significantly in the 21st century, and this will affect human societies in many ways. Since sleep is a basic human need and part of everyone's life, the question of how temperature affects human sleep naturally arises. This paper examines the effect of daily mean temperature on sleep duration using nationally representative Hungarian time use surveys between 1976 and 2010. Compared to a day with an average temperature of 5–10 °C, colder temperatures do not influence sleep duration. However, as daily mean temperatures rise, sleep duration starts to strongly decline. The effect of a hot (>25 °C) day is −13.3 minutes, but if preceded by a few other hot days, the effect is even stronger, −24.7 minutes. The estimated sleep loss is especially large on weekends and public holidays, for older individuals, and men. Combining the estimated effects with temperature projections of twenty-four climate models shows that the warming climate will substantially decrease sleep duration. The projected impacts are especially large when taking into account the effects of heatwave days. This study also shows that different groups in society are likely to be affected in significantly different ways by a warming climate.

Comparison of barriers to effective nurse-patient communication in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 wards

BackgroundCommunication is a basic need of humans. Identifying factors that prevent effective nurse-patient communication allows for the better implementation of necessary measures to modify barriers. This study aims to compare the barriers to effective nurse-patient communication from the perspectives of nurses and patients in COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 wards.Materials and methodsThis cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 2022. The participants included 200 nurses (by stratified sampling method) and 200 patients (by systematic random sampling) referred to two conveniently selected hospitals in Shahroud, Iran. The inclusion criteria for nurses were considered having at least a bachelor’s degree and a minimum literacy level for patients to complete the questionnaires. Data were collected by the demographic information form and questionnaire with 30 and 15 questions for nurses and patients, which contained similar questions to those for nurses, based on a 5-point Likert scale. Data were analysis using descriptive indices and inferential statistics (Linear regression) in SPSS software version 18.ResultsThe high workload of nursing, excessive expectations of patients, and the difficulty of nursing work were identified by nurses as the main communication barriers. From the patients’ viewpoints, the aggressiveness of nurses, the lack of facilities (welfare treatment), and the unsanitary conditions of their rooms were the main communication barriers. The regression model revealed that the mean score of barriers to communication among nurses would decrease to 0.48 for each unit of age increase. Additionally, the patient’s residence explained 2.3% of the nurses’ barriers to communication, meaning that native participants obtained a mean score of 2.83 units less than non-native nurses, and there was no statistically significant difference between the COVID and non-COVID wards.ConclusionIn this study, the domain of job characteristics was identified by nurses as the major barrier, and patients emphasized factors that were in the domain of individual/social factors. There is a pressing need to pay attention to these barriers to eliminate them through necessary measures by nursing administrators.

Biologically active substances and safety of apples of different varieties of the Ural selection

Fresh apple fruits contain various components, including mono-, di- and polysaccharides, organic acids, triterpenoids, phytosterols, polyphenols, protein, vitamins, and macro- and microelements humans need. The purpose of the research was to study the biologically active substances and safety of apples of five varieties of winter and autumn ripening: Pervouralskaya, Krasa Sverdlovskaya, Blagovaya Vesti, Sverdlovchanin, Ekrannoe - to identify the most valuable fruits from the standpoint of modern nutritionology. The apple trees grew in equal climatic and agrotechnical (drip irrigation and fertigation) conditions IP GK(F) H Filippova A.A. (Chelyabinsk region, Kaslinsky district, Grigoryevka village). It was found that the content of insoluble dietary fiber in apples of the studied varieties did not have sharp fluctuations; the variability of the indicator was 14.3%. On the contrary, the amounts of vitamin C, pectin, polyphenols, and flavonoids had significant variability - up to 275, 100, 61, and 50%, respectively, depending on the variety. Safety indicators (content of Hg, Pb, patulin, HCH, DDT) in apples did not exceed the standards of TR CU 021/20H. The nitrate content in fruits was typical for the products of intensive apple orchards. At the same time, Pb levels varied from 0.036 to 0.103 mg/kg, nitrates - from 23.4 to 35.4 mg/kg. Increased amounts of studied biologically active substances and low levels of contaminants make it possible to classify apples of the Pervouralskaya and Krasa Sverdlovsk varieties as the best fruits of this apple orchard.

Anxiety Theory in School Selection Preferences in the View of Islamic Psychology

Education is an important thing for humans. The human need for education is primary. However, in pursuing education, schools are needed which are the category of formal education. School is a way to get an education. However, over time, school selection has become a scourge for children. The underlying factors are the zoning registration system, and the dominance of parents in determining schools. Parents tend to refer to madrasas or Islamic-based schools in the hope of getting more integrated Islamic lessons. This gives rise to a feeling of anxiety in children and are not free in determining their choices. This article will discuss the causes of the appearance of symptoms anxiety in children in school selection preference. This case study took place on Jl. Margosari rt.04 rw.07, Sawah Besar, Gayamsari, Semarang. This research uses the case study method and literature study at the same time. The results revealed that 25% of children objected if their parents forced them to attend further education at madrasah.

How to use one surface electromyography sensor to recognize six hand movements for a mechanical hand in real time: a method based on Morse code.

Surface electromyography (sEMG) signal is a kind of physiological signal reflecting muscle activity and muscle force. At present, the existing methods of recognizing human motion intention need more than two sensors to recognize more than two kinds of movements, the sensor pasting positions are special, and the hardware conditions for execution are high. In this work, a real-time motion intention recognition method based on Morse code is proposed and applied to the mechanical hand. The short-time and long-term muscle contraction signals collected by a single sEMG sensor were extracted and encoded with the Morse code method, and then the developed mapping method from Morse code to six hand movements were used to recognize hand movements. The average recognition accuracy of hand movements was 94.8704 ± 2.3556%, the average adjusting time was 34.89s for all subjects, and the execution time of a single movement was 381ms. The corresponding experiment video can be found in the attachment to show the experiment. The method proposed in this work is a method with one sensor to recognize six movements, low hardware conditions, high recognition accuracy, and insensitive to the difference of sensor pasting position.

Teologi Liturgi Dan Ibadah Virtual

Liturgy is not only about the arrangement of the service program, not only about the agenda of worship. But the service itself is a liturgy. Because of this, we know the terms Sunday worship liturgy, family worship liturgy, marriage confirmation and blessing liturgy, funeral liturgy and so on. What exactly do we understand by liturgical theology and virtual worship? Because churches have held virtual services and liturgy, which were not held before. And will virtual worship still be relevant when the pandemic has passed? Therefore, this article is intended to examine the theology of liturgy and virtual worship. Liturgical theology and virtual worship are actually theology and reflection, as well as Christian congregational activities that can be applied or practiced directly in certain situations, in this case during the Covid-19 pandemic. When the Covid-19 pandemic has passed, then virtual worship is possible is no longer needed. Because basically direct fellowship in places of worship or churches, where the congregation meets and shakes hands in person, is an essential need for humans as social creatures. However, it is still possible to hold virtual services because it is necessary for congregants who are sick and have permanent illnesses, so that congregants cannot come to worship at the house of worship directly and want to receive online worship services.

Abstract PO5-04-02: Combination of trastuzumab competing and non-competing fully human internalizing anti-Her2 monoclonal antibodies drug conjugates increases their inhibitory effect on the growth of HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer cells

Abstract The human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) family of receptors plays a key role in proliferation stimulator for several human cancers. In particular, HER2 is overexpressed in 15-30% of breast cancers with or without gene amplification with prognostic and predictive implications. HER2 overexpression is associated with shorter disease-free and overall survivals, resistance to hormonal agents and increased risk of brain metastasis. Trastuzumab is a humanized anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody that binds to domain IV of HER2 extracellular domain and blocks its signaling. More recently, two antibody drug conjugates using trastuzumab have been approved: Ado-Trastuzumab-Emtansine (Kadcyla) consisting of trastuzumab conjugated to the drug mertansine DM1 and fam-trastuzumab-deruxtecan-nhki (Enhertu to deliver the topoisomerase inhibitor deruxtecan. We are reporting here the development of fully human internalizing anti-HER2 antibodies with distinct epitopes on the HER2protein which compete or not with trastuzumab for binding to HER2. These monoclonal antibodies have been developed by immunizing fully human (TC-Mab mouse) mice with recombinant HER2 protein. After production of hybridoma secreting fully human immunoglobulins, the screening process included competition with trastuzumab for binding to Her2 by enzyme linked immunoassay and Octet epitope binning and affinity determination as well as internalization assay. Several internalizing antibodies able to compete or not with trastuzumab and with high affinity (Kd ranging from 10−9 M to 10−12 M) were selected. Their ability to deliver a cytotoxic payload in HER2 overexpressing breast cancer cells such as SKBR3, BT474 and AU565 was next investigated. Two groups of antibodies: one competing with trastuzumab and the other one non-competing were further characterized. Data related to these antibodies’ biochemical characteristics as well as their ability to inhibit proliferation in vitro and in vivo in mouse xenografts studies will be presented here. In conclusion, the use of fully human mice to develop monoclonal antibodies provides a powerful and attractive approach to develop fully human monoclonal antibodies against cancer targets by-passing the need for humanization and affinity maturation of antibodies.

Consumers in buying goods and services consider the quality of the product and also the price. Another consideration is the brand image of the goods or services to be purchased. If the brand of goods is well known enough, consumers will buy these goods. Affordable prices, good product quality and a recognized product brand image encourage consumers to repurchase these products so that consumers become loyal. Clothing is one basic product that human need. Many types of clothing are created according to the wishes of consumers, so that business opportunities in fashion arise. Fashion includes clothing and accessories. Business competition in the fashion sector is getting tighter. Zara as one of the foreign retailers enlivened the fashion in Indonesia. Zara stores can be found in several places, one of them is in Pondok Indah Mall2. Zara has always been a trend setter and created a very good brand image, the best price, and the quality of its products has advantages. By providing quality products, it will provide satisfaction to consumers so as to create loyalty in consumers. This study aims to determine the effect of brand image, price, product quality on consumer loyalty to Zara products at Pondok Indah Mall2, either partially or simultaneously. The results showed that partially only product quality has an effect on consumer loyalty to Zara products at Pondok Indah Mall2. Meanwhile, brand image has no effect on consumer loyalty to Zara products at Pondok Indah Mall2. Likewise, price has no effect on consumer loyalty to Zara products at Pondok Indah Mall2. But simultaneously brand image, price, product quality affect consumer loyalty to Zara products at Pondok Indah Mall2.

Abstract PO4-06-11: Development of fully human anti-progranulin monoclonal antibodies as inhibitors of triple negative breast cancer cell growth and tumor formation

Abstract Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by invasiveness and poor survival. Identifying novel TNBC targeted therapies to potentiate standard of care (SOC) therapy, is an unmet need. In the past 4 years, several targeted therapies for TNBC have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, the identification of targeted therapies against other biological drivers of TNBC remains important. Progranulin (PGRN/GP88) is a biological driver of tumorigenesis, survival, and drug resistance in breast cancer. PGRN/GP88 tissue expression is an independent prognostic factor of recurrence while elevated serum PGRN/GP88 level is associated with poor outcomes such as progression of disease and shortened survival. PGRN/GP88 expression is elevated in 30% TNBC. The importance of inhibiting PGRN/GP88 effect on the proliferation and tumor growth of triple negative breast cancer cells was previously established. In the current study, in association with Precision Antibody, we developed anti-PGRN/GP88 fully human monoclonal antibodies by immunizing TC transgenic humanized mice with recombinant human progranulin. Within 60 days since the start of immunization, several fully human monoclonal antibodies were successfully developed, characterized by several functional assays including neutralization, inhibition of PGRN/GP88 cell surface binding, proliferation, migration in MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro and in vivo. Results: The inhibition of PGRN/GP88 action by fully human monoclonal antibodies inhibited proliferation and migration in a dose-and time-dependent fashion in TNBC cells. Octet analysis determined Kd in the range of 10−11 M to 10−10 M. Transwell assay showed that anti-PGRN treatment inhibited migration In vivo xenograft studies with MDA-MB-231 cells injected in athymic nude mice showed that several fully human anti-PGRN antibodies inhibited tumor growth when compared to antibody control treated mice. In vivo dose response of AG01 in MDAMB-231 tumor bearing mice will be provided. Conclusion: PGRN/GP88 represents a therapeutic target for TNBC with two companion diagnostics (tissue test and ELISA to measure GP88 circulating levels). The use of the TC transgenic mice allows for the rapid development of fully human high affinity monoclonal antibodies bypassing the need for chimerization or humanization of mouse monoclonal antibodies. The development of fully human anti-progranulin antibodies provides novel targeted therapeutic option for TNBC.

Restoring soil biodiversity

Soil health is crucial for all terrestrial life, supporting, among other processes, food production, water purification and carbon sequestration. Soil biodiversity - the variety of life within soils - is key to these processes and thus key to soil restoration. Human activities that degrade ecosystems threaten soil biodiversity and associated ecosystem processes. Indeed, 75% of the world's soils are affected by degradation - a figure that could rise to 90% by 2050 if deforestation, overgrazing, urbanisation and other harmful practices persist. Restoring soil biodiversity is a prerequisite for planetary health, and it comes with many challenges and opportunities. Soil directly supports around 60% of all species on Earth, and land degradation poses a major problem for this biodiversity and the ecosystem services that sustain human populations. Indeed, 98% of human calories come from soil, and earthworms alone underpin 6.5% of the world's grain production. Moreover, the total carbon in terrestrial ecosystems is around 3,170 gigatons (1 gigaton (Gt) = 1 billion metric tons), of which approximately 80% (2,500 Gt) is found in soil. Therefore, restoring soil biodiversity is not just a human need but an ecological and Earth-system imperative. It is pivotal for maintaining ecosystem resilience, sustaining agricultural productivity and mitigating climate change impacts.

Design of Automatic Power Factor Correction for Optimization of Electric Energy Consumption

Electrical energy is a major human need which, when viewed from its main source, namely fossil energy, will increasingly run out. There needs to be an effort to utilize electrical energy more optimally. The problem discussed in this research is the decline in power factor. The State Electricity Company (PLN) has a minimum power factor standard of above 0.85 which is found in the SPLN 70-1 regulation and PERMEN ESDM No. 09 of 2011. If the power factor is below the minimum limit, it will result in losses, because consumers have to pay for excess kilo Volt Ampere Reactive hours (kVARh). Power factor drops are caused by the use of inductive loads. With automatic power factor correction, the poor power factor from the use of inductive loads will be resolved and optimization of the use of electrical energy can be achieved. From the test results conducted using 3 cumulative loads, the worst power factor value was obtained before PF repair was carried out by the system, namely 0.38 and after PF repair by the best power factor system reached 0.99 and obtained the value of active power and apparent power after PF repair is almost the same (comparable) and it can be said that the optimization of electrical energy occurs in this study.

Characteristics and Determinants of Household Food Consumption of Female Vegetable Farmers in Pekanbaru City, Riau Province, Indonesia

Food is a fundamental human need. Food must be provided in sufficient quantity, be of good quality, be safe to consume, and be affordable. Furthermore, the determining factor of household food consumption is income. If income increases, the consumption pattern of nutritious food will also improve. The study aimed to analyze the characteristics of female vegetable farmers, their household food consumption, and the determinants of household food consumption in Pekanbaru City. The research data were obtained through an interview survey, with 65 female vegetable farmers selected using simple random sampling. This study found that female vegetable farmers in Pekanbaru City were of productive age, had a high school education level, and mostly had 3-4 family members. The household food consumption of the participants fulfilled the PPH score target for Pekanbaru City but did not fulfill the national target. Therefore, the household food security of female vegetable farmers in Pekanbaru City has not been achieved nationally. The study further revealed that household income, number of family members, and education of female vegetable farmers were significant determinants of household food consumption. In contrast, the age of female vegetable farmers did not significantly affect household food consumption. Overall, the study highlights the importance of improving the food security of female vegetable farmers in Pekanbaru City by addressing the significant determinants of household food consumption. This can be achieved by implementing policies and programs to increase household income, improve education levels, and reduce family size.
