Inefficient management of the patients’ queues is one of the major issues faced in medical institutions like clinics and hospitals which end up in creating large crowds at the hospital lobbies and an extended waiting time in the patients’ treatments. Waiting unnecessarily for a long period of time, ends only in loss or wastage of time, human life and hospital resources. It also increases the number or frustrated patients that are waiting to get treatment required. Every single patient has to undergo a diagnosis and then be forwarded to other departments or medical personnel for further procedures. Therefore, each patient’s waiting time is the time taken by the system to diagnose all the patients before him/her in the queue. In such a condition, the most practical decision would be to give out an efficient treatment plan to each patient. This can be implemented as a mobile application, wherein a predictable waiting time according to the diagnosis of the patient is uploaded, which then updates itself in real-time. Taking this into consideration, this paper proposes a Patient Treatment Time Prediction (PTTP) algorithm that can predict the time taken by a procedure for a particular patient. This algorithm can be applied to real-world scenarios and can be implemented in a large-scale environment. After predicting a treatment time necessary, the Hospital Queuing Recommendation (HQR) system can be developed. The job of calculating and predicting a convenient and an efficient treatment time for a particular patient can be done by the HQR system. The necessary input data for this is taken from a real world scenario like an actual doctor estimating time for a procedure at a particular hospital. This algorithm and system should work hand-in-hand generating responses of the utmost efficiency and very low latency. Once the model goes through extensive experimentation and simulation, an efficient model that demonstrates the effectiveness of this system can be recommended to other hospitals or medical institutions thus reducing waiting time per patient.

Patient Treatment Time Prediction Algorithm was very important to build an outpatient queue system at the hospital. This study aims to build a system of outpatient queues to predict the waiting time of outpatients in the eye clinic at one of Cirebon hospitals. Patient Treatment Time Prediction algorithm was calculated based on historical data or medical records of patients in the hospital with 120 patient data. The Patient Treatment Time Prediction algorithm was trained by improved Random Forest algorithm for each service and a waiting time for each service. Prediction of waiting time for each patient service was obtained by calculating the consumption of patient care time based on patient characteristics. The waiting time for each service predicted by the trained Patient Treatment Time Prediction algorithm is the total waiting time of patients in the queue for each service. This research resulted in a system that can show the time taken by patients in every service available in the eye clinic. Patient time consumption in each service produced varies according to the patient's condition, in this case based on the patient's gender and age. This research provides benefits in terms of improving performance in each department involved, optimizing human resources, and increasing patient satisfaction. This research can be developed for each department in the hospital.

BACKGROUND The greatest stressor for outpatients is the waiting time before the start of the examination. If the patient is able to use their smartphone to check in with the reception, the patient can wait for their examination at any location, and the burden of waiting time can be reduced. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to report the design approach and post-introduction outcomes of the Tori RinRin (TR2) system that was developed to reduce outpatient burden imposed by wait times before examination. METHODS The TR2 system was introduced at Tottori University Hospital, a large medical facility that accepts an average of 1,500 outpatients daily. The system, which links the hospital’s electronic medical record database with patients’ mobile devices, has the following two functions: 1) GPS-based examination check-in processing and 2) sending appointment notification messages via a cloud notification service. RESULTS In an investigation of 363 subjects, the mean examination call message response time using the TR2 system was 31 seconds (median 14 seconds). After 12 months, the system had 5,994 registered users and was used by a daily average of 18% of outpatients (mean ± SD = 155.7 ± 30.3). Among 166 subjects who responded to a user survey, 86.7% (144 of 166 patients) said that the system was useful. CONCLUSIONS The ability of 18% of outpatients at a large medical facility to check in remotely and wait for examinations anywhere is effective for preventing the spread of infection, especially during pandemics such as the coronavirus disease. The app reported in this study is beneficial for large medical facilities striving to reduce outpatient burden imposed by wait times.

Gummy Smile

A healthy and beautiful smile can affect appearance and confidence. One of the aesthetic problems in dentistry that is often complained of by patients is excessive gingival display (gummy smile). The excessive gingival display can be caused by several factors, one of which is altered passive eruption (APE). One of the treatments to correct gummy smile related to APE is crown lengthening. Crown lengthening can be with bone reduction (gingivectomy with bone reduction) or without bone reduction (gingivectomy). Crown Lengthening with bone reduction is a surgical procedure that aims to maintain the dentogingival complex and to improve smile aesthetics. The purpose of this case report is to determine the crown lengthening with bone reduction (gingivectomy with bone reduction) procedure as a gummy smile treatment related to APE .A23-year-old female patient, came to Dental Hospital of Universitas Airlangga with complaints of her upper gum which not in the same length and the teeth looked short, she considered her smile was less aesthetic. After conducting analyses relating to aesthetics and periodontal tissue, crown lengthening with bone reduction was chosen for this patient treatment. The treatment results are quite good, visible gingival margins that matched the gingival zenith and improved patient's smile profile. APE as the etiology of patient's gummy smile can be corrected. There are no post-surgical complications such as excessive pain and infection. A proper diagnosis, treatment plan, and good techniques can produce a harmonious smile on the patient.

Cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as humiliate the dignity, are prohibited in most countries of the world, and Russia is no exception in this issue. The article presents an analysis of the institution of responsibility for torture in the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that the current criminal law of Russia superficially and fragmentally regulates liability for torture, in connection with which the author formulated the proposals to define such act as an independent crime. In the frame of modern globalization, the world community pays special attention to the protection of human rights, in connection with which large-scale international standards have been created a long time ago. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international acts enshrine prohibitions of cruel and inhumane acts that harm human life and health, as well as degrade the dignity.Considering the historical experience of the past, these standards focus on the prohibition of any kind of torture, regardless of the purpose of their implementation.

Since its evolution environment has remained both a matter of awe and concern to man. The frontier attitude of the industrialized society towards nature has not only endangered the survival of all other life forms but also threatened the very existence of human life. The realization of such potential danger has necessitated the dissemination of knowledge and skill vis-a-vis environment protection at all stages of learning. Therefore, learners of all stages of learning need to be sensitized with a missionary zeal. This may ensure transformation of students into committed citizens for averting global environment crisis. The advancement of science and technology made the life more and more relaxed and man also became more and more ambitious. With such development, human dependence on environment increased. He consumed more resources and the effect of his activities on the environment became more and more detectable. Environment covers all the things present around the living beings and above the land, on the surface of the earth and under the earth. Environment indicates, in total, all of peripheral forces, pressures and circumstances, which affect the life, nature, behaviour, growth, development and maturation of living beings. Irrational exploitation (not utilization) of natural resources for our greed (not need) has endangered our survival, and incurred incalculable harm. Environmental Education is a science, a well-thought, permanent, lasting and integrated process of equipping learning experiences for getting awareness, knowledge, understanding, skills, values, technical expertise and involvement of learners with desirable attitudinal changes about their relationship with their natural and biophysical environment. Environmental Education is an organized effort to educate the masses about environment, its functions, need, importance, and especially how human beings can manage their behaviour in order to live in a sustainable manner.  The term 'environmental awareness' refers to creating general awareness of environmental issues, their causes by bringing about changes in perception, attitude, values and necessary skills to solve environment related problems. Moreover, it is the first step leading to the formation of responsible environmental behaviour (Stern, 2000). With the ever increasing development by modern man, large scale degradation of natural resources have been occurred, the public has to be educated about the fact that if we are degrading our environment we are actually harming ourselves. To encourage meaningful public participation and environment, it is necessary to create awareness about environment pollution and related adverse effects. This is the crucial time that environmental awareness and environmental sensitivity should be cultivated among the masses particularly among youths. For the awareness of society it is essential to work at a gross root level. So the whole society can work to save the environment.
