Quantitative Neuroanatomical Measurement on Photogrammetric Model: Validation Study.

To examine and compare the accuracy of measurements obtained from photogrammetric models versus direct measurements taken on dry skulls, with the aim to verify the feasibility of photogrammetry for quantitative analysis in microsurgical neuroanatomy. Two dry human skulls were used. Each was scanned using the dual camera system of a smartphone The selected photos were separately processed using 2 different softwares to create three-dimensional models. Subsequently, 41 anatomical measurements (both linear and curvilinear) based on common anatomical landmarks were taken both directly on dry skulls and on photogrammetric models and compared. Analyzed factors included measurement error, intrarater and interrater reliability, and intermodality agreement. Four photogrammetric models were created. Analysis revealed similar errors when comparing photogrammetric and direct measurements. Measurements from digital models exhibited robust reliability among repeated measures and different observers, supported by very high intraclass correlation coefficient values. Mean measurement difference between Agisoft Metashape software-generated models and direct measurement was 0.01 cm with no systematic bias observed. Conversely, the Metascan app-derived models showed a mean measurement difference of-0.35 cm compared with direct measurement, displaying good agreement for smaller measurements and a systematic proportional bias with increasing measurement size. Two photogrammetric models were validated as quantitative analysis techniques for laboratory neuroanatomical studies, showing acceptable measurement error, high intrarater and interrater reliability, and good to very good agreement compared with direct measurement on dry skulls, replacing expensive and time-consuming methods such as computed tomography scans and neuronavigation systems.

Tahapan dan Langkah-Langkah Penerapan Mixed Method Research (MMR) dalam Penelitian Pendidikan

Many academics believe that using questionnaires and interviews simultaneously, or combining statistical analysis and narrative interpretation, can be categorized as mixed method research (MMR). This view is not entirely correct, but it is not entirely wrong either. MMR involves integrating quantitative and qualitative methods in a study, including all related components. However, not all simultaneous uses of quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis techniques can be considered MMR, as several key factors, such as timing, weighting, and research objectives, must be taken into account. This article aims to elaborate on various MMR models and their implementation steps, using a literature review method. The study identifies six MMR models: Sequential Explanatory, Sequential Exploratory, Concurrent Triangulation, Concurrent Embedded, Sequential Transformative, and Concurrent Transformative. However, the last two models are not discussed in detail due to their lower popularity. The Sequential Explanatory model integrates quantitative and qualitative methods sequentially, with greater emphasis on quantitative methods to provide additional information. Similarly, the Sequential Exploratory model is conducted sequentially but places more weight on qualitative data to connect findings. The Concurrent Triangulation model integrates both methods simultaneously, with equal weighting to compare data, while the Concurrent Embedded model combines the methods simultaneously but prioritizes one as the primary method and the other as the secondary method, aiming to compare data. Our findings provide practical guidelines for researchers in implementing each MMR model, particularly by highlighting aspects that are often overlooked in previous literature. These guidelines are expected to help researchers select and apply models that align with their research needs.

Analysis of Relationship between Religious Knowledge, Attitude, and Behaviour of Islamic Universities Female Students towards the Halalness of Cosmetic and Wear Products

This research describes and analyzes the relationship between religious knowledge and the attitudes and behavior of State Islamic Universities (PTKIN) female students in purchasing cosmetics and wearing products that have not been halal (religiously permitted). The aim is to analyze students' tendencies, attitudes, and behavior when consuming cosmetics and consumer goods. Research data was obtained through interviews and distributing questionnaires to three campuses, namely: UIN Raden Intan Lampung, UIN Walisongo Semarang, and UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. The data were then processed and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques. This research found an inconsistency between students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects in deciding to buy/use cosmetics and wear products whose halalness is still unclear. This inconsistency is mainly due to the scarcity of products labeled halal and the difficulty of knowing the ingredient composition of the products offered. This research concludes a significant correlation between the religious background knowledge of female students and their attitudes and behavior toward the halalness of cosmetic and wear products.

Penilaian Livability Perumahan Subsidi bagi Masyarakat Berpenghasilan Rendah di Kota Ambon

Subsidized housing is one of the main programs to provide livable housing that is affordable for low-income communities. However, often in development and environmental management, livability aspects are not paid attention to which can affect the level of community comfort and the quality of the housing itself. This condition can be seen in Bukit Hijau Urimessing Housing, which is currently the only subsidized housing in Ambon City. The condition of infrastructure and facilities such as roads, waste facilities and accessibility are still inadequate. The aim of this research is to measure the level of livability of Bukit Hijau Urimessing Housing, which is based on aspects of housing livability. This research uses a quantitative approach with quantitative descriptive analysis techniques and scoring analysis methods on 11 (eleven) housing livability indicators. The results of the analysis show that there are 5 (five) aspects with a level of livability included in the low category, namely the availability/quality of residential roads, access to transportation services, waste, drainage networks and security and safety of the residential environment. This condition reinforces the problems that often occur in the construction of subsidized housing, namely related to facility readiness, location not paying attention to accessibility and environmental management that is not optimalt.

Far-right leadership in comparison: shifts and continuities in German-speaking movements

ABSTRACT Leadership has long been acknowledged as a crucial feature of social movement activity. Theorisation has delved into the types of leadership and, more recently, the activities performed by leaders. However, comparative research on leadership and detection of any changes over time is scant. Our paper attends to these tasks by looking at the activities of two German-speaking far-right leaders. For many years, Christian Worch was one of the most active and influential neo-Nazi leaders in Germany, communicating much of his activity and strategy in the mid-2000s through a regular circular (Rundbriefe). Similarly, Martin Sellner, both as leader of the Identitarian movement and independent activist, today exercises an outsized role in the German-speaking far-right scene, including through his regular publications in the magazines Compact and Sezession. Our paper uses data of Worch’s and Sellner’s writings, scraped from webpages and gathered from archives, in a mixed-methods comparative design to identify the tasks performed by these leaders, and how frequently. Quantitative text analysis techniques guide the qualitative evaluation of leaders’ activities and reveal shifts – and continuities – in far-right movement leadership. The paper thereby contributes to scholarship on an important aspect of contemporary far-right movements as well as broader social movement literature on the topic of leadership.

Cell Painting: a decade of discovery and innovation in cellular imaging.

Modern quantitative image analysis techniques have enabled high-throughput, high-content imaging experiments. Image-based profiling leverages the rich information in images to identify similarities or differences among biological samples, rather than measuring a few features, as in high-content screening. Here, we review a decade of advancements and applications of Cell Painting, a microscopy-based cell-labeling assay aiming to capture a cell's state, introduced in 2013 to optimize and standardize image-based profiling. Cell Painting's ability to capture cellular responses to various perturbations has expanded owing to improvements in the protocol, adaptations for different perturbations, and enhanced methodologies for feature extraction, quality control, and batch-effect correction. Cell Painting is a versatile tool that has been used in various applications, alone or with other -omics data, to decipher the mechanism of action of a compound, its toxicity profile, and other biological effects. Future advances will likely involve computational and experimental techniques, new publicly available datasets, and integration with other high-content data types.
