THE RELATIONSHIP OF SOCIAL MEDIA USE WITH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SEXUAL PREMARRIAGE IN ADOLESCENTS

Background: Sexual behavior in adolescents is very dependent on the sexual knowledge possessed by the child. Sexual behavior is behavior related to reproductive functions or that stimulates sensation in receptors located on or around the reproductive organs or erogenous areas. Adolescence is a period of development in all respects, so that being unstable or easily influenced is a characteristic of adolescents themselves. The rapid development of social media among teenagers as a communication tool that is easy to use by anyone and can be accessed anywhere has created a major phenomenon in the flow of information, not only that, the increasingly rapid growth of social media has caused various effects for the youth themselves, both physical and psychological effects. positive and negative effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the use of social media with premarital sexual knowledge in adolescents at SMAN 1 Kramatwatu. The research method used is quantitative, namely the cross sectional analytical survey method. The results of the analysis show that there is a relationship between the use of social media, the role of parents, the role of teachers and the role of peers with premarital sexual knowledge in adolescents at SMAN 1 Kramatwatu with a p-value <0.05.

Echeveria Leaf Morpho-Anatomical Analysis and Its Implications for Environmental Stress Conditions

Echeveria, classified in the Crassulaceae family, possesses unique adaptive strategies with xeromorphic features to withstand semi-arid environments. The diversity and ecological adaptation of succulent plants offer valuable insights into addressing climate change challenges. In particular, the epidermis, hypodermis, vascular bundles arrangement, and stomata characteristics are commonly used to investigate light, humidity, temperature, and water availability adaptations. While leaf anatomical analysis is a common approach, limited studies have been conducted on Echeveria, especially among cultivars. To understand how succulents cope with environmental stress, leaf morpho-anatomical features were analyzed using the free-hand sectioning method with methanol fixation of fifteen Echeveria cultivars. The finding revealed a robust correlation between epidermis and hypodermis size (r = 0.362–0.729), and a positive association between leaf thickness and the epidermis (r = 0.362–0.536), suggesting implications for water storage. Most cultivars displayed a 3D vascular arrangement, with minor vascular bundles surrounding the main vascular bundle at the center, along with small stomata size, and low stomata frequency in the adaxial surface. Moreover, these cultivars grown under controlled conditions maintain their xeromorphic characteristics with the presence of epicuticular wax and thick and fully expanded small leaves. Likewise, the features of cultivars ultimately suggest that these succulents are tolerant to high temperatures and limited water supply. This study provides a fundamental understanding of Echeveria plants’ leaf anatomy and the correlation of their leaf structures toward environmental stress. Likewise, the methods and results of this study will serve as a benchmark for other research in related species.

Physical and Environmental Factors Influencing Accessibility to Sanitation and Hygiene Services Among People Living with Disabilities in Kitui County, Kenya

This study aimed to find out the physical and environmental factors influencing accessibility to sanitation and hygiene services among PLWD in Kitui County, Kenya. The study employed a cross sectional survey method. Disability status varied, with 44.2% having physical/mobility disabilities, 34.4% with visual disabilities, and 21.4% with hearing disabilities. In terms of physical and environmental factors, 95.6% had access to latrines, Improved pit latrines were the most common (52.3%). 93.3% reported sufficient space inside latrines, challenges included slippery floors (28.2%) and limited privacy (23%). Inferential statistics, employing logistic regression, identified significant associations. The logistic regression analysis elucidated significant factors influencing hygiene and sanitation accessibility among people with disabilities in Kitui County, Kenya. Socio-economic variables, including occupation (B = -0.212, p = 0.032), income (B = -1.068, p = 0.184), and education level (B = 0.457, p < 0.001), exhibited notable associations. Physical and environmental factors, such as latrine design for people with disabilities (B = -0.566, p = 0.077), played a crucial role. This study identified substantial challenges hindering people with disabilities (PLWD) from accessing adequate sanitation and hygiene, revealing critical issues related to physical and environmental barriers.

Re-Evaluation of Vascular Histogenesis in the Root Tips of Selected Species in the Poaceae Using New Methods: Analysis of the Plerome, Vascular Initials, Pericycle and Late-Maturing Metaxylem Vessels

Serial sectioning and 3D image reconstruction methods were applied to elucidate the structures of the apices of root vascular cylinders (VCs) in taxa of the Poaceae: Zea mays “Honey Bantam”, Z. mays ssp. mexicana, Hordeum vulgare and Oryza sativa. The primary and nodal roots were investigated. Observations were performed using high-quality sectioning and 3D image-processing techniques improved and developed by the authors. We found that a quiescent uniseriate plerome was located at the most distal part of each VC. Vascular initials were located immediately basipetally to the plerome as a specific uniseriate layer that could be classified into central and peripheral initials that produced all the cells in the VC. No supplying of cells from the plerome to the vascular initials was observed. Numerical analysis revealed a “boundary point” along the root axis where the rate of increase of the vascular cell number markedly declined, and the VC diameter, number of vascular cells, and number of late-maturing metaxylem vessels (LMXs) at that point showed a similar relationship among the taxa and the types of roots examined (primary vs. nodal). The plerome and vascular initials layer can be considered independent after seed germination in these taxa. A boundary point at which procambial cell proliferation sharply declined was identified. The diameters of the VCs, number of LMXs, and number of vascular cells at the boundary point were found to be strongly related to each other.

Secrecy Enhancement of relay cooperative NOMA network based on user behavior

From the perspective of information security, relays exhibit varying levels of trustworthiness when forwarding information. For screening and eliminating the malicious users of cooperative NOMA relay networks, a reputation-based algorithm is proposed, in which the user relays (URs) are categorized into three types based on their behaviors—malicious users, speculative users, and honest users. Meanwhile, in order to minimize information leakage at the relay, cooperative interference signals are transmitted by far user (FU) and near user (NU) via the uplink while the base station (BS) is also transmitting signals to the relay. This approach increases inter-user interference (IUI) to confuse the eavesdropping capability of the relay. To verify the superiority of the proposed scheme, an asymptotic lower bound expression for the ergodic secrecy rate (ESR) of the downlink is derived to characterize the secrecy performance of the proposed scheme. Furthermore, in the case of limited system power, a joint power allocation algorithm based on the golden section method is also proposed to further enhance the security performances of the system. The simulation results validate the accuracy of the derived analysis results and demonstrate that the proposed scheme has a significant improvement in the ESR compared with the traditional scheme.

Experimental and numerical investigation on residual stress and deformation of welded I-section curved steel beams

This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation on welding-induced residual stresses and deformations of in-plane curved welded I-section steel beams. Two welded curved beams with different curvatures were investigated. After welding the curved beam, the residual deformations were measured by a 3D scanner. The residual stresses were subsequently obtained through a high-precision sectioning method. The effects of curvature on the magnitude and distributions of residual deformations and stresses at the specific sections were analysed with the test results. It was found that the residual deformation gradually increased from the weld region to both ends of the flange plate, and the torsion in the web plate became severe with a decrease in curvature of the curved beam. Moreover, the welding process of the curved beam was simulated using the finite element (FE) method. The developed FE model was validated against the test results, and thereafter, parametric analyses were conducted to assess the influence of welding sequence, welding speed, and curvatures of the curved beam on the welding residual stresses and deformations. The numerical results demonstrated that the residual stresses and deformations were significantly influenced by welding speeds, but the influence from curvature of the curved beam was relatively small. Finally, a reasonable welding sequence, welding speed, and curvature of the curved beams were recommended.

Online as-Built Building Information Model Update for Robotic Monitoring in Construction Sites

Today, automated techniques for the update of as-built Building Information Models (BIM) make use of offline algorithms restricting the update frequency to an extent where continuous monitoring becomes nearly impossible. To address this problem, we propose a new method for robotic monitoring that updates an as-built BIM in real-time by solving a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem where the map is represented as a collection of elements from the as-planned BIM. The suggested approach is based on the Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filter (RBPF) which enables explicit injection of prior knowledge from the building’s construction schedule, i.e., from a 4D BIM, or its elements’ spatial relations. In the methods section we describe the benefits of using an exact inverse sensor model that provides a measure for the existence probability of elements while considering the entire probabilistic existence belief map. We continue by outlining robustification techniques that include both geometrical and temporal dimensions and present how we account for common pose and shape mistakes in constructed elements. Additionally, we show that our method reduces to the standard Monte Carlo Localization (MCL) in known areas. We conclude by presenting simulation results of the proposed method and comparing it to adjacent alternatives.

OCCUR Shiny application: A user‐friendly guide for curating species occurrence records

Abstract Ecology increasingly relies on a massive volume of biodiversity occurrence records to draw insights into large‐scale biogeographical, ecological and evolutionary phenomena. This often involves defining a set of criteria that guides the collection, filtering and standardising of available records. These curation processes are often neither described in detail nor well documented. This hampers the comparability and reproducibility of studies and thus undermines the robustness of any ecological result. Yet, to date, there is no guide providing a friendly way to reason and document a complete data curation process. We reviewed the available literature on data curation, including tools such as R packages and workflows. From this assessment, we created a complete guide organised into five modules that allows users to consciously select and validate occurrence records based on these curation criteria. This is presented in the user‐friendly Shiny R OCCUR application, available at https://ecoinformatic.shinyapps.io/OCCUR/. OCCUR application provides a guide for researchers to deal with the trade‐off between data certainty and coverage generated in each data curation step. An interactive graph of these changes is provided within each module. OCCUR also produces a custom‐made final report including all steps used for data filtering. This report helps to streamline the writing of the methods section of manuscripts and technical reports, thus promoting the reproducibility of data curation processes. This Shiny application provides an interactive overview of the data curation methods and their use for handling occurrence records from public repositories. It brings together the taxonomic, temporal and spatial dimensions of data and also the identification of duplicates of the records. OCCUR can be applied for multiple purposes, such as teaching R to ecologists or enhancing reproducibility of macroecology and biogeography.

The results summarize the main findings, including the proposed authentication scheme’s ability to enhance user control, security, and privacy in digital interactions. Finally, the conclusions discuss the broader implications of this scheme for future online transactions and digital identity management, emphasizing the shift towards self-sovereignty and reduced reliance on centralized authorities.

Implicit direct time integration of the heat conduction problem in the Method of Matched Sections

The paper is devoted to further elaboration of the Method of Matched Sections as a new branch of finite element method in application to the transient 2D temperature problem. The main distinction of MMS from conventional FEM consist in that the conjugation is provided between the adjacent sections rather than in the nodes of the elements. Important feature is that method is based on approximate strong form solution of the governing differential equations called here as the Connection equations. It is assumed that for each small rectangular element the 2D problem can be considered as the combination of two 1D problems – one is x-dependent, and another is y-dependent. Each problem is characterized by two functions – the temperature, , and heat flux . In practical realization for rectangular finite elements the method is reduced to determination of eight unknowns for each element – two unknowns on each side, which are related by the Connection equations, and requirement of the temperature continuity at the center of element. Another salient feature of the paper is an implementation of the original implicit time integration scheme, where the time step became the parameter of shape function within the element, i.e. it determines the behavior of the Connection equations. This method was early proposed by first author for number of 1D problem, and here in first time it is applied for 2D problems. The number of tests for rectangular plate exhibits the remarkable properties of this “embedded” time integration scheme with respect to stability, accuracy, and absence of any restrictions as to increasing of the time step.

Exclusive breastfeeding is the provision of only breast milk without giving other food or drink to babies from birth to 6 months of age without anything additional except medication. The aim of the research is to determine the factors related to the low level of exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers at TPMB Yuliani Kusrahmadani 2023. It is hoped that it will be useful for mothers to increase their awareness in providing exclusive breastfeeding to babies appropriately, namely 0-6 months of age so that exclusive breastfeeding coverage can reach the target. which is supported by all groups. This type of quantitative research uses the Cross Sectional method. The population in this study was 50 respondents with a total sample of 50 breastfeeding mothers who had babies aged 6-12 months. The sampling technique is a total sampling technique. The research instrument used a questionnaire. Data analysis used univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test. The results of the research show that the variables related to exclusive breastfeeding in working mothers are knowledge p value = 0.007 OR value = 6.878, attitude p value = 0.009 OR value = 11.368, lactation facilities p value = 0.000 OR value = 11.667, family support p value = 0.000 OR value = 12.857, support from health workers p value = 0.000 OR value = 75,000. The conclusion from research conducted by researchers is that the factors that play an important role in determining exclusive breastfeeding for working mothers are knowledge, attitudes, lactation facilities, family support and support from health workers. Support from health workers is the highest risk factor for working mothers who do not breastfeed, namely 75,000.

Social-Economic Factors Affecting Accessibility to Sanitation and Hygiene Services Among People Living with Disabilities in Kitui County, Kenya

Persons living with disabilities refer to individuals with persistent mental, physical, sensory or intellectual deterioration while interacting with varied barriers may prevent equal participation in society compared to other population. People living with disabilities (PLWD) are greater than five times probable to be found in the position of being unable to access sanitation and hygiene services as compared to normal people in the same community. There are significant gaps and limited knowledge in implementation of WASH policies across the country. This study aimed was to determine the social-economic factors affecting accessibility to sanitation and hygiene services among PLWD in Kitui County, Kenya. The study employed a cross sectional survey method. Socio-economic status indicated a high proportion of participants with limited education (51.1% with no formal education, 35.2% with primary education), and a pervasive low income (98.6% earning less than 10,000) and unemployment (85.3%). Socio-economic variables, including occupation (B = -0.212, p = 0.032), income (B = -1.068, p = 0.184), and education level (B = 0.457, p < 0.001), exhibited notable associations. This study identified substantial challenges hindering people with disabilities (PLWD) from accessing adequate sanitation and hygiene, revealing critical issues related to socio-economic factors, physical and environmental barriers, communication gaps, and institutional shortcomings.

Modeling titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoclusters using a 2D sectional method with molecular dynamics (MD) determined coagulation rates

Accurate prediction of the particle size distribution (PSD) evolution of growing nanometer scale particles is important in designing gas-phase synthesis reactors for the production of nanomaterials. Towards improved predictions of growth, we model the evolution of the PSD of 1-4 nm TiO2 particles from the decomposition of titanium tetraisoproxide (TTIP) using a two-dimensional (2D) sectional method, uniquely with coagulation rates derived from molecular dynamics (MD) trajectory calculations which account for detailed particle–particle interactions. The PSDs predicted by the 2D sectional method are compared to recent experimental measurements of PSDs in the 1-3 nm range in a flow tube reactor. The nucleation of particles is modeled based on prior mobility measurements of ions attributed to TTIP and their decomposition, with the specific nucleation rate here fitted as a fraction of base nucleation rate (k) derived from these prior measurements. In the 2D sectional model, we examine the influence of the initial (nucleated) particle charge distribution on the PSD, with different coagulation rate coefficients for neutral-charged and charged-charged particle collisions. With the MD-derived coagulation rate coefficients, we find that using nucleation rate coefficients between 0.005k and 0.03k leads to strong agreement between modeled PSD and measured PSD for a wide variety of experimental residence times, initial TTIP concentrations and temperatures. Increasing the charge fraction from 0% (uncharged) to 80% (bipolar) does not result in a significant change in the PSD, because the particles rapidly self-neutralize through coagulation based on the simulation results. The results with MD-derived coagulation rate coefficients are compared to those of the sectional method with classical kinetic theory of gases (KTG) rates with a constant enhancement factor to account for potential interactions. Through comparison, we find that the predictions from the classical KTG model consistently exhibit weaker coagulation rates than the MD-derived model during the PSD evolution.

Utilizing RNA sequencing to identify gene expression markers of stroke-causing thrombi origin: A pilot study

IntroductionStroke embolic source have an unknown origin in 30-40% of cases. Mechanical thrombectomy for acute large vessel occlusion stroke has provided us with a method to directly retrieve the thrombi from patients for analysis. By collecting stroke-causing thrombi from known sources, we can then use high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNAseq) technology to directly measure the gene expression signatures of these clots. This may allow us to identify genetic markers to predict the cause of cryptogenic embolism. MethodsThis is a prospective study in which RNAseq was used to analyze cerebral thrombi retrieved by mechanical thrombectomy devices in acute ischemic stroke patients. Samples were separated into two groups based on known stroke thrombus etiology, including Carotid group (patients with ipsilateral >70% carotid stenosis) and Atrial fibrillation (AF) group (patients with atrial fibrillation). Gene expression was compared by RNAseq analysis between the groups. ResultsFrom October 2016 to September 2017, 8 thrombi (4 in Carotid group, 4 in Afib group) were included in this study. There were 131 genes that were significantly up- or down-regulated between the two groups defined as a false discovery rate ≤ 0.05 and a fold change ≥ 2. Twenty-six genes were selected as candidate gene biomarkers based on the criteria in the methods section. Candidate genes HSPA1B, which encodes a heatshock protein, and GPRC5B, which encodes a G-protein, showed the greatest fold differences in expression between the two groups. ConclusionThis study has shown that RNA sequencing of acute ischemic stroke thrombi is feasible and indentified potential novel biomarkers for identifying stroke-causing thrombi origin, especially in cryptogenic stroke.

Analisis Faktor-Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Turnover Intention Perawat

The emergence of turnover generally begins with turnover intentions (intention to leave) from employees. There are several factors that influence a nurse's intention to leave their job, namely individual characteristics such as age, gender, education level, length of service, marital status, work status, socio-economic conditions, and level of satisfaction. Objective: to determine the factors that influence nurse turnover intention. This type of quantitative research uses a cross sectional design method with a sample size of 105 respondents. The data collection technique uses a questionnaire. Data analysis in this study used the chie square test. Results: The turnover intention rate for nurses at Azra Hospital is quite high, namely 54.3%, the majority of nurses answered that they were dissatisfied with compensation 61%, supervision 50.5%, career development 56.2%, coworkers 50.5%, organizational policies 51.4%. Nurse characteristic variables such as age, marital status, work status, length of service and satisfaction variables regarding compensation, supervision, career development, co-workers and organizational policies have an influence on nurse turnover intention at Azra Hospital. Conclusion: The high level of nurse turnover intention is influenced by nurse characteristic factors, such as young age, marital status, work status as a contract employee, and length of service. The level of dissatisfaction in aspects of job satisfaction, especially those related to compensation, supervision, career development, coworkers, and organizational policies, can trigger nurse turnover intention.

A preliminary study on identification of the blood donor in a body fluid mixture using a novel compound genetic marker blood-specific methylation-microhaplotype

Blood-containing mixtures are frequently encountered at crime scenes involving violence and murder. However, the presence of blood, and the association of blood with a specific donor within these mixtures present significant challenges in forensic analysis. In light of these challenges, this study sought to address these issues by leveraging blood-specific methylation sites and closely linked microhaplotype sites, proposing a novel composite genetic marker known as “blood-specific methylation-microhaplotype”. This marker was designed to the detection of blood and the determination of blood donor within blood-containing mixtures. According to the selection criteria mentioned in the Materials and Methods section, we selected 10 blood-specific methylation-microhaplotype loci for inclusion in this study. Among these loci, eight exhibited blood-specific hypomethylation, while the remaining two displayed blood-specific hypermethylation. Based on data obtained from 124 individual samples in our study, the combined discrimination power (CPD) of these 10 successfully sequenced loci was 0.999999298. The sample allele methylation rate (Ram) was obtained from massive parallel sequencing (MPS), which was defined as the proportion of methylated reads to the total clustered reads that were genotyped to a specific allele. To develop an allele type classification model capable of identifying the presence of blood and the blood donor, we used the Random Forest algorithm. This model was trained and evaluated using the Ram distribution of individual samples and the Ram distribution of simulated shared alleles. Subsequently, we applied the developed allele type classification model to predict alleles within actual mixtures, trying to exclude non-blood-specific alleles, ultimately allowing us to identify the presence of blood and the blood donor in the blood-containing mixtures. Our findings demonstrate that these blood-specific methylation-microhaplotype loci have the capability to not only detect the presence of blood but also accurately associate blood with the true donor in blood-containing mixtures with the mixing ratios of 1:29, 1:19, 1:9, 1:4, 1:2, 2:1, 7:1, 8:1, 31:1 and 36:1 (blood:non-blood) by DNA mixture interpretation methods. In addition, the presence of blood and the true blood donor could be identified in a mixture containing four body fluids (blood:vaginal fluid:semen:saliva = 1:1:1:1). It is important to note that while these loci exhibit great potential, the impact of allele dropouts and alleles misidentification must be considered when interpreting the results. This is a preliminary study utilising blood-specific methylation-microhaplotype as a complementary tool to other well-established genetic markers (STR, SNP, microhaplotype, etc.) for the analysis in blood-containing mixtures.

Epilepsy is one of the comorbidities or complications that can occur in cerebral palsy (CP) pediatric, the severity of CP can be measured using the gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) level. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of GMFCS level with incidence of epilepsy in CP pediatric at RSUD Ulin Banjarmasin. This research used a cross – sectional method. Subjects were CP pediatric outpatients aged 2-18 years at pediatric polyclinic and medical rehabilitation installation RSUD Ulin Banjarmasin. Samples were obtained with total sampling technique during September-November 2021. Data were analyzed univariate and bivariate by Fisher’s exact test with a significance level of p <0,005. There were 33 CP pediatric who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The result showed that most of the patients were aged 2-5 years (63,6%), male sex (57,6%), severe GMFCS levels (75,8%) and had epilepsy (66,7%). There was a significant correlation of GMFCS level with incidence epilepsy (p=0,008, PR=3,2). It can be concluded that GMFCS level is associated with incidence epilepsy in CP pediatric at RSUD Ulin Banjarmasin.

Comparing Alba 3D printed video laryngoscope vs. video laryngoscope C-MAC® vs. direct macintosh laryngoscope operated by medical students: A randomized, crossover, manikin study

Endotracheal intubation is the gold standard for airway management. Direct laryngoscopy is a difficult procedure with a high failure rate. A 3D printed video laryngoscope can be used as a more affordable replacement for a laryngoscope. The aim of this study was to evaluate the success rate and time of endotracheal intubation in manikins using the Alba 3D printed video laryngoscope, the C-MAC video laryngoscope and the Macintosh operated by medical students. This study was conducted using a cross sectional randomised study method involving 36 medical students. This study found that the mean endotracheal intubation time using Alba 3D Print was significantly shorter than using Macintosh, but not better than C-MAC (VL3D-25 vs LDM-50.5 vs VLC-21.5 s) with a p-value of <0.001. The success rate of endotracheal intubation using Alba 3D moulds was significantly better than using Macintosh, but not statistically significant when compared to C-MAC (VL3D-91.7% vs LDM-97.2% vs VLC-75%) with p-value <0.05). This study concluded that the use of Alba 3D prints has a better success rate and time compared to Macinctosh and can be an affordable alternative to commercial video laryngoscopes such as C-MAC for educational purposes.
