Literature Review: Air Oxygen Level Monitoring System

Oxygen is a very important gas for humans. The need for oxygen around the plant is very low because the exhaust gas from various factories often becomes pollutants, one of which is the cement industry. The oxygen content needs to be known so that the level of vigilance of workers and the community is higher. For this reason, it is necessary to make a monitoring device for oxygen content. In this view will be discussed several gas sensors, especially oxygen sensors. In addition, Arduino microcontrollers and Raspberry Pi microprocessors were also discussed. The goal is to be able to determine the type of oxygen sensor as a detector of oxygen levels in the air. The discussion of microcontrollers and microprocessors is also a determinant of the motherboard connected to the oxygen sensor. Thus, the explanation of this review can be used to develop a monitoring system for oxygen content in the air. The research method used is in the form of literature studies. Literature study is the process of finding research data or information by reading scientific journals, reference books, and articles about oxygen content monitoring devices. This tool functions as a gas analyzer by choosing the MQ-135 sensor as an oxygen sensor because it is more affordable and easy to obtain which is supported by the Raspberry Pi device.

Analysis of Inflation and Rupiah Exchange Rate on Mudharabah Savings at Sharia Commercial Banks


 
 
 
 Inflation is one of the macroeconomic symptoms associated with a decline in the exchange rate (money). Inflation has always been a heated topic of discussion in various economic circles. This indicates that the effects of the economic crisis depend on the nature of each group's income and fortune. The condition is severe if the income is stable or rising but less than the inflation rate. Their material well-being improves if their income grows faster than the inflation rate. This study examines the impact of inflation and the rupiah exchange rate on Islamic banking Mudharabah savings. The data utilized are time series data from the Sharia Banking Statistics Report and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) published by Bank Indonesia. This research method falls under the category of library research, namely searching for research data or information by reading scientific journals, reference books, published financial statements, and other library-accessible support materials for this paper.

DAMPAK PERCERAIAN TERHADAP PSIKOLOGIS, EMOSIONAL DAN MENTAL ANAK DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM

Every human being certainly has the hope of building a family which is the goal of marriage law, namely building a good familysakinah, mawaddah wa rahmah. However, there are various factors that cause the breakdown and destruction of a household so that they choose to divorce. The consequences of the divorce will damage the relationship between husband and wife and have an impact on the psychological, emotional and mental well-being of the child.Collecting data with a literature study approach (library research), which is done by searching for data or research information through reading scientific journals, reference books and publication materials available in various sources. The results of this study indicate that husband and wife sometimes have to face problems in their household life, the emergence of problems in the household can be caused by many things including economic factors, lack of sense of responsibility, differences in outlook on life which can result in a household crisis. A woman who is about to become a widow doesn't think about what other people think of her because according to her this is her life and she is the one who is going through it all, it's just that there is guilt for her child when she has to get a divorce. Of course there is an impact of divorce that will arise on the psychological development of their children, trying so that their children do not lose the love of a father.

Healthcare providers have insufficient up-to-date knowledge of lower limb sports injuries, and their knowledge is similar to that of athletes

BackgroundBeing up-to-date with evidence-based knowledge of lower limb sports injuries is essential for Healthcare professionals (HCPs). PurposeTo assess whether HCPs possess up-to-date knowledge of lower limb sports injuries by comparing their knowledge to that of athletes. MethodsWith an expert panel, we developed an online quiz of 10 multiple-choice questions on various topics related to lower-limb sports injuries. Maximal score was 100. We used social media to invite HCPs (5 groups: Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Medical Doctors, Trainers, and Other therapists) and athletes of all levels (amateur, semi-pro, and pro) to participate. We drafted the questions according to conclusions from the latest systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Results1526 participants completed the study. Final quiz scores ranged from zero (n = 28, 1.8%) to 100 (n = 2, 0.1%) and were distributed normally with a mean score of 45.4 ± 20.6. None of the 6 groups' means surpassed the set threshold of 60 points. Multiple linear regressions of covariates indicated that age, gender, engagement in physical activity, learning hours per week, reading scientific journals, reading popular magazines and blogs, trainers, and other therapists’ groups explained 19% of the variances (−5.914<β < 15.082, 0.000<p < 0.038). ConclusionsHCPs have insufficient up-to-date knowledge of lower limb sports injuries, and their knowledge is similar to that of athletes of all levels. HCPs probably do not possess the proper tools to assess scientific literature Academic and sports medicine societies should look into ways to improve the scientific knowledge integration of HCPs.

Transplantasi Organ Tubuh Menurut Perspektif Hukum Islam

The Qur'an does not mention transplantation explicitly as specifically, but there are several verses of the Qur'an that contain a discussion of transplantation in general, as mentioned in (QS. 2: 2), (QS. 2 : 195), (Qur'an 5: 2), (QS. 59: 9), (QS. 17: 70), (QS. 5: 32). The research technique here uses the library research method, which is done by searching for research data or information through reading scientific journals, reference books and publication materials available in the library. The majority of fiqh scholars consisting of some Hanfiyyah scholars, some Malikiyyah scholars, Syfi'iyah scholars, some Syfi'iyah scholars, Hanbali scholars and Zaidiyah scholars, are of the opinion that using human organs as treatment is permissible in a state of arȗrat. It is required that there must be permission from the heirs who can be considered and their abilities with the will of a person who has died. According to Jumhur ulama, it is permissible to transplant, with the concrete reason that all rights of a corpse when it is still alive become the right of the owner to inherit the organs of the body before he dies. From the International Fatwa Council, it is permissible to transplant human vital organs, and cannot be traded.

Role of reading a scientific article in modern education of ankle and foot surgery: a strategy for adherence

Prioritizing the training of ankle and foot residents and fellows is strategic for the future of our specialty.The scenery of medical education is changing rapidly, and adapting to new educational methods is critical for the modern ankle and foot surgeon to ensure an effective, productive, and inspiring learning environment for new specialists. Modern strategies to achieve these goals involve developing educators’ and students’ skills. Educators benefit from the commitment to up-to-date content and innovation in the lectures and discussions; it is important to define learning expectations clearly and monitor progress in gaining clinical knowledge and surgical skills. Therefore, it is necessary to divide this process into stages; throughout the learning process, the student should receive objective assessment and feedback to establish a close relationship with the educator. In this context, the power of scientific evidence and reading scientific journals are important for learning. No one is born a good reader of medical literature; this skill improves with practice and can be taught and learned. However, some educators can help new specialists and residents gain regularity and productivity from critical reading. Initial screening can be done by identifying a few reliable and accessible sources, such as one general interest orthopedic journal and two subspecialty journals, as they provide enough content to consume before the next issue is released.The initial evaluation of articles begins with a close reading of the article titles. Then, for those papers that seem worthwhile, the next step is to devote attention to the objective, method, and conclusion sections and ask, “Assuming this information is validated, would it matter to my practice?” In the third step, to decide to read the entire article in depth, the articles’ key question or its main objective should be answered, which will define whether the chosen methodology is valid in answering it. In methodology, two central factors must be considered: validity and bias. Validity has two aspects: internal validity, which determines methodological accuracy and represents impartial measures between exposure/intervention and functional/clinical outcome, whose threats are the different biases; and external validity, which allows the generalization of findings to the general population and is related to the study participants are representative of the target population. Critical components of modern teaching for ankle and foot surgery residents and fellows include goal setting, educator-student collaboration, science-based knowledge gain, team, feedback, and use of technology.

AUDIO JOURNAL: ALIH MEDIA JURNAL ILMIAH DALAM BENTUK AUDIO SEBAGAI ALTERNATIF LITERASI DALAM PEMBELAJARAN ENTREPRENEURSHIP

This article describes the creation and use of audio media containing scientific journal content. Scientific Journal is a form of news or communication that contains scientific works and is published on schedule in electronic and / or printed form. Scientific journal articles is made to provide useful information and knowledge. Currently most of the higher education institutions have Journal products. The problem that occurs is that the community does not take advantage of this scientific article, journalists are dominated by academics. Students who are supposed to cultivate scientific literacy are less interested in reading scientific journals. The low literacy culture is relevant to the instant culture of the younger generation who tend to be less likely to read. The purpose of this research is to provide an alternative literacy by transferring scientific article media from reading media to listening media. Scientific articles according to published entrepreneurial material are recorded with digital sound technical standards, this product prototype in the form of an Audio Journal can be accessed through all Digital Podcast Providers. Through the Audio Journal, students have easy access to scientific articles anywhere and anytime. This research uses qualitative methods and an interdisciplinary approach. Scientific journals are windows to an ever-evolving science, so that ease of access should be an important principle.

Audio Journal can also be used by people with disabilities to be able to access journals using listening media.Keywords: audio journaling, literacy, science

The Predictive Effect of Some Variables on Fifth and Sixth Grade Students’ Scientific Process Skills

The aim of this research was to investigate whether there was a predictive effect of the frequency of laboratory use of students, their academic success and attending various opportunities to learn science outside the classroom on the fifth and sixth grade students’ scientific process skills performance (SPSP). Also, it was investigated whether there was a significant relationship between the students’ SPSP and the grade level in which the concepts included in the test items were appropriate. The quantitative research methods were used in this study. Data were collected from 458 fifth and sixth grade students. Regression analysis was conducted to determine the effects of the frequency of laboratory use of students, their academic success and attending various opportunities to learn science outside the classroom on students’ SPSP. As a result, it was determined that students’ academic success was important predictor variables that affect the fifth and sixth grade students’ SPSP. It was also determined that the frequency of laboratory use of students had an important predictive effect on students’ causal scientific process skills performance (C-SPSP). Additionally, it was determined that various opportunities to learn science outside the classroom such as attending in science fairs and reading scientific journals had an important predictive effect on students’ SPSP. Although, it was also determined that the students’ SPSP differs according to the grade level, statistically significant relationship was not found between the students’ SPSP and the grade level in which the concepts included in the test items were appropriate.

Scientific process skills test development within the topic “Matter and its Nature” and the predictive effect of different variables on 7th and 8th grade students’ scientific process skill levels

The aim of this study was to develop a Scientific Process Skills Test (SPST) in the context of “Matter and its Nature”. It was investigated whether there was a predictive effect of demographical features and participating out-of-school learning opportunities across the 7th and 8th grade students’ Scientific Process Skill (SPS) levels. Quantitative research methods were used in this study. Data were collected from 289 middle school students for the validity and reliability of the test. The SPST consisted of 30 items and entailed three sub-dimensions (“basic scientific process skills, causal scientific process skills and experimental scientific process skills). The reliability coefficient of the test was calculated using the KR-20 formula and was found to be 0.84. The SPST was applied to 472 middle school students with the aim of determining whether there is a predictive effect of gender, grade level, school location, parent's education level and participation in out-of-school learning opportunities across the 7th and 8th grade students’ SPS levels. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to determine the effects of demographical features and out-of-school learning opportunities on students’ SPS levels. As a result, it was determined that the grade level, gender or mother's education level were important predictor variables that affect middle school students’ SPS levels. It was also determined that out-of-school learning opportunities such as participating in science fairs, designing projects or reading scientific journals had an important predictive effect on students’ SPS levels.

Use of scientific evidence by dentists in Brazil: Room for improving the evidence-based practice.

This study investigated the use of scientific evidence and the practice of evidence-based dentistry (EBD) among dentists working in Brazil. An online questionnaire was emailed to dentists registered with Brazilian state dental councils. The questionnaire assessed the demographic, educational, and work characteristics of the sample, along with habits in reading scientific articles and other updating resources. Data were analyzed descriptively and by using Bonferroni, Kruskal-Wallis, ANOVA, and T-test statistical methods (α = 0.05). A total of 795 responses were received between June, 2015 and January, 2016. The response rate was not calculated because it was not possible to determine precisely how many dentists received these e-mails. Over 77% of the responding dentists completed postgraduate training. They referred mainly to books, scientific or clinical journals, conferences, and short-term courses for updating their knowledge. Dentists who reported having a habit of reading scientific journals (60.9%) showed a preference for reading case reports, clinical research articles, and literature reviews. Most dentists (77.5%) reported changing their clinical behaviors or procedures based on information gleaned from journal articles. The types of articles that led them to change their clinical practices were primarily clinical research articles and case reports. Working in the public sector was also associated with a lower prevalence of a habit of reading scientific journals and practicing EBD (i.e., self-reported practice). The results suggest that dentists are interested in reading journal articles, especially those addressing clinical outcomes, and that there is room for improving the practice of EBD, particularly in the public sector.

Clinicians' knowledge and practices regarding family planning and intrauterine devices in China, Kazakhstan, Laos and Mexico.

BackgroundIt is widely agreed that the practices of clinicians should be based on the best available research evidence, but too often this evidence is not reliably disseminated to people who can make use of it. This “know-do” gap leads to ineffective resource use and suboptimal provision of services, which is especially problematic in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) which face greater resource limitations. Family planning, including intrauterine device (IUD) use, represents an important area to evaluate clinicians’ knowledge and practices in order to make improvements.MethodsA questionnaire was developed, tested and administered to 438 individuals in China (n = 115), Kazakhstan (n = 110), Laos (n = 105), and Mexico (n = 108). The participants responded to ten questions assessing knowledge and practices relating to contraception and IUDs, and a series of questions used to determine their individual characteristics and working context. Ordinal logistic regressions were conducted with knowledge and practices as dependent variables.ResultsOverall, a 96 % response rate was achieved (n = 438/458). Only 2.8 % of respondents were able to correctly answer all five knowledge-testing questions, and only 0.9 % self-reported “often” undertaking all four recommended clinical practices and “never” performing the one practice that was contrary to recommendation. Statistically significant factors associated with knowledge scores included: 1) having a masters or doctorate degree; and 2) often reading scientific journals from high-income countries. Significant factors associated with recommended practices included: 1) training in critically appraising systematic reviews; 2) training in the care of patients with IUDs; 3) believing that research performed in their own country is above average or excellent in quality; 4) being based in a facility operated by an NGO; and 5) having the view that higher quality available research is important to improving their work.ConclusionsThis analysis supports previous work emphasizing the need for improved knowledge and practices among clinicians concerning the use of IUDs for family planning. It also identifies areas in which targeted interventions may prove effective. Assessing opportunities for increasing education and training programs for clinicians in research and IUD provision could prove to be particularly effective.

Continuing Education in Oral Cancer Prevention for Dentists in Spain

Continuing education (CE) can have a large impact on dentists' oral cancer attitudes, knowledge, and behavior. Reading scientific journals is a key component of CE. The objective of this study was to assess preventive and clinical attitudes of the participants in an educational intervention on oral cancer in Spain based on scientific journals. Members of the Spanish Board of Dentists and Stomatologists participated in an online, cross-sectional study, using an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire. There were 791 general dental practitioners (GDPs) invited to participate in the study. The large majority reported that they deliver tobacco-cessation counseling (93.6 percent) as well as advice on alcohol consumption (66.6 percent), but advice on vegetable intake was less frequently provided (42.4 percent). Alcohol intake advice, routine mucosa exploration, and biopsy performance on lesions suspicious of malignancy are preventive attitudes related to training. Compared with those who did not benefit from CE courses or did so only once, the GDPs who took four or more CE courses showed a doubling in the odds of giving alcohol advice to their patients and a tenfold increased odds of performing mucosa check on a routine basis; they were 3.5 times as likely to take biopsies of suspicious lesions. A longer experience as a GDP did not increase the probability of adopting preventive attitudes. In addition to presenting the results of this study, the article also discusses the general usefulness of other preventive measures in oral cancer.

Assessing healthcare providers' knowledge and practices relating to insecticide-treated nets and the prevention of malaria in Ghana, Laos, Senegal and Tanzania.

BackgroundResearch evidence is not always being disseminated to healthcare providers who need it to inform their clinical practice. This can result in the provision of ineffective services and an inefficient use of resources, the implications of which might be felt particularly acutely in low- and middle-income countries. Malaria prevention is a particularly compelling domain to study evidence/practice gaps given the proven efficacy, cost-effectiveness and disappointing utilization of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs).MethodsThis study compares what is known about ITNs to the related knowledge and practices of healthcare providers in four low- and middle-income countries. A new questionnaire was developed, pilot tested, translated and administered to 497 healthcare providers in Ghana (140), Laos (136), Senegal (100) and Tanzania (121). Ten questions tested participants' knowledge and clinical practice related to malaria prevention. Additional questions addressed their individual characteristics, working context and research-related activities. Ordinal logistic regressions with knowledge and practices as the dependent variable were conducted in addition to descriptive statistics.ResultsThe survey achieved a 75% response rate (372/497) across Ghana (107/140), Laos (136/136), Senegal (51/100) and Tanzania (78/121). Few participating healthcare providers correctly answered all five knowledge questions about ITNs (13%) or self-reported performing all five clinical practices according to established evidence (2%). Statistically significant factors associated with higher knowledge within each country included: 1) training in acquiring systematic reviews through the Cochrane Library (OR 2.48, 95% CI 1.30-4.73); and 2) ability to read and write English well or very well (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.05-2.70). Statistically significant factors associated with better clinical practices within each country include: 1) reading scientific journals from their own country (OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.10-2.54); 2) working with researchers to improve their clinical practice or quality of working life (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.04-1.98); 3) training on malaria prevention since their last degree (OR 1.68, 95% CI 1.17-2.39); and 4) easy access to the internet (OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.08-2.14).ConclusionsImproving healthcare providers' knowledge and practices is an untapped opportunity for expanding ITN utilization and preventing malaria. This study points to several strategies that may help bridge the gap between what is known from research evidence and the knowledge and practices of healthcare providers. Training on acquiring systematic reviews and facilitating internet access may be particularly helpful.

Radiographers' preconditions for evidence-based radiography

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is essential in today's health care, but its establishment requires several preconditions from individuals and organizations (e.g. knowledge, understanding, attitudes, abilities, self-confidence, support, and resources). Previous studies suggest that radiographers do generate and use evidence in their work, but evidence-based radiography (EBR) is not yet used routinely as established practice, especially in terms of research utilization. This paper aims to describe radiographers' preconditions for EBR, and their participation in research activities. Main focus is on research utilization. Using an electronic questionnaire developed for this study, a survey was conducted: data collected from Finnish radiographers and radiotherapists (N = 438) were analysed both statistically and qualitatively. The final response rate was 39%. The results suggest radiographers' preconditions for EBR to consist of knowledge of research, significance of research activities, research-orientated way of working, and support. In addition, adequate resourcing is essential. Reading scientific journals, participation in research activities, a higher degree of education, and senior post seem to be significant promoters of EBR and research utilization. The results support the notion that EBR, and especially research utilization, are not yet well-established in Finland, and radiographers' viewpoints concerning the role and significance of research evidence and research activities still seem to vary.

Interpreting the Medical Literature: A Clinician's Guide

Studies of continuing medical education show that medical journals are major contributors to physician self-education. Until recently there have been few resources that provide a systematic format for reviewing the medical literature. Dr Gehlbach has written a superb introduction to the critical reviewing of research articles. Chapters 1 through 5 include an introduction and rationale for reading scientific journals, followed by descriptions of the most commonly used research designs. Graphic explanations of the structure of case-control, cohort, and randomized clinical studies are especially helpful. The author provides the necessary detail to understand and critique different types of studies without overwhelming the reader with excess information. He successfully avoids extensive forays into epidemiology's semantic jungle but clearly identifies the different animals that inhabit it. Chapters 6 through 8 deal with statistical concepts of measurement, the definition of normality, and significance testing in a straightforward, nonmathematical approach. Chapter 9 discusses the interpreting
