Authors: Yesi Yesi , Jalil Ashaluddin , Sugiyanto Seger
Published: January 2023

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to review community initiatives in dealing with climate change in oil palm plantation areas. We use descriptive qualitative methods as well as apply the participatory Action Research (PAR) method to encourage community action. The results showed that oil palm plantations had a positive impact in the form of improving the community's economy and negative impacts, namely a clean water crisis and erratic hot and rainy weather. Therefore, to anticipate the worsening impact of the existence of oil palm plantations, the community has an initiative by planting medicinal plants, food plants, flowers, carrying out environmental conservation campaigns, making environmentally friendly fertilizers, making biopores, biogas, making gazebos, green houses, giving seeds plants and provision of fish seeds. All these initiatives were strengthened by the support of various parties from the regional government and the Pertamina Hulu Energi Kampar company in the form of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program support.

Published: January 2023

The existence of female leaders in an organization has an impact on gender equality in society. This impact happened to the PBNU organization, the largest national Islamic institution with social and political influence. This study aims to describe the dynamics process and the existence of gender equality in the Islamic organization PBNU. This study uses a qualitative field approach with a feminist perspective in organizational communication. The data were obtained through observations and interviews with the General Chairperson of PBNU and the Chairperson of Tanzfidiyah. This research shows that Gender Equality in the dynamics of the PBNU organization can be identified through the various roles performed by one of the female leaders, namely Khofifah Indar Parawansa, the Chair of Tanfidziyah in the 2022-2027 era. Shows that the role of women leaders in PBNU is currently in a phase or period of free competition. Meanwhile, regarding the existence of Gender Equality in the PBNU organization, it shows assumptions about the prediction that if the role of women leaders such as Mrs. Khofifah in the political and social fields is getting stronger, it will also have a strong influence on the existence of female cadres in PBNU in the next period. This study argues that gender equality in Islamic organizations at PBNU is a role model for other organizations.

Published: January 2023

Abstract: The Indonesian Ahmadiyya Congregation (JAI) is one of the Islamic organizations in Indonesia that has developed through a historical process. JAI has struggled to gain recognition from the community, such as social programs and the law's legality. However, JAI remains the target of intolerant groups to carry out persecution because the teachings adhered to by JAI are considered heretical due to different Islamic concepts in general. This study aims to analyze the existence of JAI, such as legal entities, organizational systems, and activities carried out. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with an interview approach and a literature study. The study results indicate a legal clash between the legality of JAI's law and the law that prohibits JAI's activities. Then the general public does not seek information beforehand about the Indonesian Ahmadiyya Congregation, so the public is consumed by the issues addressed to the Indonesian Ahmadiyya Congregation.

Published: January 2023

Islamic boarding schools, commonly known as pesantren, which have been established for a long time, require consistent teaching patterns and must face new problems that arise in adapting, such as the current technological era, without losing the uniqueness or distinctiveness of Islamic boarding schools as their character. Islamic boarding school is a place for deeper religious learning and is believed to bring blessings to students who study religion there. This study continues two previous studies on Islamic boarding schools and multicultural education in Islamic boarding schools by focusing more on the conditions of Islamic boarding schools, which are starting to lose their uniqueness due to the adaptation of government policies, the influence of technology, and responses to the development of demands for students whose diversity changes all the time. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with a phenomenological approach to solve problems and achieve research objectives. Data collection techniques were carried out through direct observation and in-depth interviews. The data obtained were then analyzed by the triangulation technique. The study results indicate that Islamic boarding schools face internal and external conflicts to maintain their existence in the era of technological change. Islamic boarding schools try not to change their uniqueness but face external demands as they accommodate students from different cultures, regions, languages, and even other countries who study religion. Even Islamic boarding schools cannot adapt to government regulations in determining policies for developing Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia.

Published: January 2023

Census provides us with very detailed information related to the demographic picture, economic activities and literacy status of the country. Apart from this, it is most credible source of information on different social groups (Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) of the county and their progression in different fields. In order to frame and implement different programs and policies, census data is very important for socio-economic research and planning for central and the state governments. The literacy figures from 1961 to 2011 available on Census Bureau of India for SCs & STs social groups on decade bases. After India became independent the practice to collect the data for different social groups were restricted to SCs/STs and OBCs where always excluded from the census. Literacy is the key for social-economic development of the country. An attempt has been made to justify the significance of Census for the development of the Indian nation in relation to various aspects like economy, education, housing etc. In the present paper an attempt has been made at micro level to study literacy rates among different marginalized social groups with special reference to OBCs of North-Kashmir. The researchers used the literacy figures 2011 available on Census Bureau of India and tried to answer why census is important for OBCs. The researcher adopted House-Hold survey of various areas where OBCs are dominated in residing in terms of their castes and professions. The investigator identified 03 dominated villages in 03 Districts of North-Kashmir in India. The findings of the study confirmed that there is a need to inclusion of the OBCs in the census across states of India, so that a clear picture of their progression will come in front of the nation.

When it comes to the structural design of flexitanks used for freight transportation, liquid sloshing is a crucial subject of concern. However, with consideration of the flexitank shape, there is no specific capacity value that can be used as a guide for filling the liquid inside it. This phenomenon may cause a high-pressure impact on the flexitank, resulting in a leakage on the LLDPE package. One of the solutions to reduce the frequency of leaks occurred is to fill up the acceptable volume based on hydrodynamics performance. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate, using commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, the hydrodynamic performance of various flexitank filling volume capacities based on different liquid densities. This is evaluated by comparing the hydrodynamics study for filling capacities that are 1%, 2%, and 3% higher than the rated capacity for flexitanks that has been suggested by the Container Owner Association (COA). Due to the flexitanks thin walls, it is important to consider the impacts of fluid-structure interaction (FSI). To do this, a partitioned FSI approach is used by coupling the CFD and FEA solvers for this multi-physics issue. The main standpoint of FSI is that fluid forces are applied to structures, causing deformation. Hydrodynamic parameters such as structural deformation on flexitank, von-mises stress and von-mises strain were used to identify the suitable filling capacity for three different: water, latex, and crude palm oil, as these liquids are commonly used for flexitank. The results indicate that varying the liquid filling capacity affected the hydrodynamic performance of the flexitank. Following that, increasing the flexitank filled with water by 3% and increasing the flexitank filled with latex and CPO by 1% can lead to structural damage as it gives highest maximum value of total deformation for these capacities. Since the situation of the flexitank are in the braking condition, the highest elastic equivalent strain is occurred at the front-top of the flexitank structure.

Phylogenetic analysis of the Belostoma plebejum group sensu Nieser (Insecta, Hemiptera, Belostomatidae): the effect of adding continuous characters on its accuracy
Authors: Ribeiro José R. I. , Ferrari Augusto
Published: January 2023

The Belostoma plebejum group comprises nine species, and the most evident characteristic shared by all species of the group is a phallus that is strongly curved ventrally. The difficulty in studying its species is much aggravated by the scarcity of identified material in Brazilian collections, and this has negatively impacted phylogenetic studies within the group. We tested the monophyly of the B. plebejum group using discrete and continuous characters under different weighting schemes and inferences. We described B. lanemeloisp. nov. and B. nieserisp. nov. and they served as the basis to study the phylogenetic relationships. A strict-consensus tree recovered under maximum parsimony and with implicit weighting scheme is as follows: (B. parvum, ((B. lanemeloisp. nov., (B. nessimiani, B. nieserisp. nov.)), (B. micantulum var1, (B. micantulum var2, (B. estevezae, ((B. plebejum, (B. minusculum var1, B. minusculum var2)), ((B. nicaeum var1, B. nicaeum var2), ((B. lariversi var1, B. lariversi var2), (B. pygmeum var1, B. pygmeum var2))))))))). The monophyly of the B. plebejum group is corroborated by four non-homoplastic synapomorphies, and the aforementioned condition of the phallus is one of them. We tested the phylogenetic integrity of some species of the B. plebejum group, and only the exemplars of B. micantulum did not constitute monophyletic clades. Comparing the topologies obtained by different approaches clearly showed the presence of different scenarios in terms of heterogeneity of evolutionary rates among characters, but this could also be influenced by the disproportionate number of discrete characters compared with continuous characters.
Ce que l’amour des richesses fait au caractère, de Platon à Théophraste
Authors: Murgier Charlotte
Published: January 2023

Cette contribution vise à étudier les effets que l’amour des richesses a sur le caractère moral et les relations sociales, depuis les descriptions qu’en donne Platon au livre VIII de la République à travers le portrait de l’homme oligarchique, jusqu’à la déclinaison des quatre formes de l’avarice dans le traité des Caractères de Théophraste, dans lequel l’argent et les échanges marchands constituent par ailleurs un thème récurrent et structurant. On remonte avec Platon aux sources psychologiques de l’amour des richesses avant d’en développer les conséquences morales, et, avec Théophraste plus particulièrement, les conséquences sur les relations de l’individu aux autres.

Wealth, Habits and Happiness. Chrematistics in Aristotle’s Ethics
Authors: Masi Francesca
Published: January 2023

Aristote estime qu’une vie consacrée à gagner de l’argent ne mérite pas d’être vécue, dans la mesure où elle est sujette à des contraintes et fondée sur une conception pervertie de la richesse. Cependant, il assigne à l’argent une valeur instrumentale en tant qu’il est indispensable au bonheur, et il reconnaît qu’il y a des tendances naturelles à la richesse en tout agent. Cet article se propose de clarifier les thèses d’Aristote concernant la fonction de la richesse dans son rapport à une vie bonne, concernant ce qui garantit l’usage correct des biens et comment il est possible de promouvoir la pratique de la chrématistique naturelle face à l’extension des formes perverties de recherche du profit. L’article entend ensuite montrer quelles vertus sont liées à la richesse – générosité, magnificence et justice ou équité – et comment elles se rattachent aux vices opposés – c’est-à-dire : prodigalité et avarice, tendance dépensière et pingrerie, et injustice ou inéquité. L’intention de cette étude est d’expliquer pourquoi l’enquête aristotélicienne sur les bonnes et mauvaises habitudes liées à l’usage de la richesse est complémentaire de l’enquête sur la genèse des phénomènes économiques, et pourquoi elle vise à garantir dans la pratique une chrématistique parfaitement intégrée à l’éthique et à la politique.
Detection and analysis of coagulation effect in vein using MEMS laminar flow for the early heart stroke diagnosis
Authors: Tatiparthi Vasudeva Reddy , Rao Madhava , Kumar Santosh , Hindumathi
Published: January 2023

The primary objective of the research article is to describe the functionality of wrist watch which acts as a digital stethoscope to measure health constraints such as heart pulse through blood pressure. The second objective is the detection of blockages of an artery due to fatty, cholesterol-deposited, over a period when the blood is passing through due to stress and exercise, etc. Pressure and velocity are two inputs with their respective results of contrast and expansion of veins at the outputs. The major parameters in detecting the laminar flow are pressure and velocity. These parameters of a vein are analyzed by integrating valves in the vein. The movement of blood laminar flow in the vein is captured by a MEMS-based piezoelectric sensor by its functionality. The proposed design performance accuracy is estimated by modeling of vein's laminar flow when blood is circulating. The coagulation effect of the vein is used to measure heart stroke by placing MEMS along with the stent, as MEMS are tiny in size. The functionality of a digital Stethoscope works on the piezoelectric effect that generates an electrical signal when pressure is applied from the vein. The accuracy, functionality, and performance of the design can be analyzed by COMSOL multi-physics. Applications of MEMS include detection, prevention, and alert during the second heart stroke, and also used in the bionic eye and automotive electronics.
Adaptive predefined-time prescribed performance control for spacecraft systems
Authors: Su Yuhan , Shen Shaoping
Published: January 2023

The high-accuracy attitude maneuvering problem for spacecraft systems is investigated. A prescribed performance function and a shifting function are first employed to ensure the predefined-time stability of attitude errors and eliminate the constraints on tracking errors at the incipient stage. Subsequently, a novel predefined-time control scheme is developed by combining prescribed performance control and backstepping control procedures. Radial basis function neural network and minimum learning parameter techniques are introduced to model the function of lumped uncertainty including inertial uncertainties, actuator faults and virtual control law derivatives. According to the rigorous stability analysis, the preset tracking precision can be achieved within a predefined time and the fixed-time boundedness of all closed-loop signals is established. Finally, the efficacy of the propounded control scheme is manifested through numerical simulation results.
Language Barriers in Healthcare
Authors: Mangal Jed Peter , Farmer Britney S.
Published: January 2023

Communication errors in healthcare due to primary language discordance between patients and healthcare staff are likely to increase in modern globalizing and linguistically diverse societies. In the existing literature, language barriers lead to miscommunications between healthcare professionals and patients, contributing to reduced satisfaction among both groups, decreased quality of care, and reduced patient safety. Language interpretation services are effective in improving care and are available in most large healthcare organizations, but may be absent in resource-limited settings and, when used, can increase the cost of care and the length of healthcare visits. Healthcare professionals may be tempted to forego interpreters in service of saving time; however, understanding the health impacts of suboptimal language and the ethical obligation of linguistic equity is central to providing competent healthcare.
Healthcare in Patients With Limited English Proficiency and Linguistic Diversity in Medicine
Authors: Saigal Taru , Lewis Kristen
Published: January 2023

Patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) are among healthcare's fastest growing and most vulnerable populations. They experience poor quality of care, worse clinical outcomes, higher medical error rates, and less patient satisfaction than English-proficient patients. Using medical interpreter services (MIS) does not fully mitigate the disparities in outcomes and inequities in healthcare and requires availability, longer provider times, and quality control. Hence, a multidimensional approach is warranted to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services. This chapter will include three case discussions highlighting: 1) Appropriate use and loopholes in medical interpreter services, 2) Patient-provider language concordance to bypass language barriers, and 3) Relevance of medical translation to improve understanding of health, diseases, and medication adherence.
Classism
Authors: Carnevale Kate J. F. , Armas Melissa , Rajput Vijay Kumar
Published: January 2023

Social class and classism can be traced back to the beginning of written history when social standing was based on nobility and family rank. In modern-day society, social standing is based on wealth and socioeconomic status. Classism refers to the marginalization of an individual or a group based on social class or perceived social class. It can be intentional or unintentional and is classified as individual or institutional. Institutional classism relates to policies and practices within an institution that present barriers and increase the difficulty of accessing resources for individuals in a particular social class. These cases highlight examples of unintentional institutional classism in healthcare that provide learners and practitioners with the tools to identify institutional classism or procedural blind spots in the healthcare setting and its implications. It is important for healthcare learners and institutions to be educated on actions, procedures, and strategies to mitigate classism in healthcare.
Gender Bias and Performativity
Authors: Wrench Algevis , Mitchell-Williams Jocelyn , Rajput Vijay Kumar
Published: January 2023

This chapter addresses gender bias, gender performativity, and sexual harassment in the clinical setting. The prevalence of gender disparities and bias is well documented in fields such as orthopedic surgery, urology, radiology, neurosurgery, and plastic surgery. Marginalized groups are more frequently impacted by these negative behaviors. Notably, in the field of urology, female residents comprise less than 30% of the demographic and often face bias. Gender performativity may play a role in the stereotyping seen for males in the nursing profession. Traditional views of masculinity and femininity may limit a supervisor's ability to see the potential in clinical staff members and cause conscious or unconscious limitations for professional growth. The interactions represented in these cases offer an opportunity for discussion of the prevalence and impact of gender bias and associated microaggressions in medicine. Various strategies to effectively mitigate gender bias in the clinical and academic environment are also discussed.

Published: January 2023

Three scenarios involving LGBTQI+ populations are presented. Case 1 highlights an in-class interaction between a faculty member and two students. A female-to-male transgender student is misgendered by a faculty member in front of the class, resulting in the student leaving the session. A second student acts as an ally when approached by the faculty member about the situation. Case 2 involves a professional development session focused on creating inclusive environments for LGBTQI+ students. One faculty member presents her approach of avoiding knowledge of students' personal lives as an effective tool for protecting students and faculty. Case 3 involves an inclusivity training session that doesn't connect as intended with the audience, resulting in students who are disengaged. Prompt questions promote reflection on what transpired, its impact, and institutional resources to help faculty in building inclusive environments. Readers will consider how to address what transpired both immediately and in the future.

Published: January 2023

A health professions learning environment that includes diverse learners enhances learning and attitudes and builds learners' confidence and ability to work with patients from all cultures – and these benefits extend to all students. Impacts extend to patients via increased access to care for the underserved, increased patient adherence, and other positive outcomes. This chapter presents a case study of a health network that sought to increase diversity and attract learners from groups traditionally underrepresented in medicine. The authors discuss strengths, weaknesses, and challenges related to strategies implemented. The epilogue contextualizes progress made and describes a third nursing strategy currently being undertaken.

Published: January 2023

In the context of developing countries such as Cameroon, which is the case study, urban mobility is still mainly based on the traditional model, and the major tools of urban mobility governance are practically not in place. Only the main cities have an urban development plan. These cities are marked by poor knowledge of urban mobility issues due to lack of data and studies on the continuous monitoring of the performance of urban mobility. In this context, how can innovative solutions based on big data technologies and sophisticated approaches be integrated to address the challenges of sustainable urban mobility? In this study, a methodological framework based on a system engineering approach has been proposed to guide mobility decision makers and users in the implementation and use of urban mobility services. The result of this study helps to extract knowledge and massive data for a better decision making in the context of developing countries and proposes a model of urban mobility system to be deployed as a recommendation to decision makers.

Relationship Between Intellectual Property Rights and Entrepreneurial Ecosystems
Authors: Yücel Seda Damla
Published: January 2023

Intellectual property rights (IPR) are critical for developing new inventions and creations, transforming them into social and economic value, and increasing inventors' and creators' competitiveness. The main functions of IPR are preventing competitors from owning, using, selling, and monetizing related inventions and creations, access to markets and networks, and obtaining venture capital. Entrepreneurship contributes significantly to economic growth and is crucial to creating opportunities and improving the performance of new businesses. Its impact varies from economy to economy based on its outputs, a nation's industrial and technological prowess, and its legislative framework for developing entrepreneurs. Technological development is inevitable considering the increasing population, existing infrastructure, services offered to society, limited resources, the expected quality of life, and the city's ecological imprint. Therefore, creative and technological solutions will be essential, especially in building dynamic approaches while creating smart cities for the future.
A Walking-Friendly Environment?
Authors: Golem Silvia
Published: January 2023

One of the main aims of the smart city paradigm is to reduce the environmental footprint of urban growth by managing the urban mobility in a citizen-friendly way. Facilitating and encouraging citizens to walk is a way to make the modern form of urban mobility greener and safer. Evidence of the benefits of walking and walkable urban forms has appeared in different strands of literature, suggesting the multidisciplinary nature of it. The main aim of this chapter is to document and review the existing measures of urban walkability, along with the relevant cases where the attempts to measure walkability were made, thereby contributing a wider literature which aims to identify and understand factors that are most relevant for urban walkers.

City, Wall, and (Feminist) Dystopia
Authors: Bhattacharya Moulina
Published: January 2023

Prayaag Akbar's debut novel Leila (2017) is a compendium of dystopian feminism, misogyny, religious and casteist devaluation, and a post-apocalyptic portrayal of a futuristic urban India that is subjugated by a totalitarian government. This chapter aims to examine the narrative ambiguity and the unresolved problem of narrative reliability in the novel by exploring the cognitive process of the female protagonist Shalini in the context of the art of her storytelling. It is argued that the narrative pattern in this dystopian novel is mainly non-linear in spatial terms which creates a fragmented and patchy experience of reading. Using a spatial-psychoanalytical approach, the study reveals that the narrative is defied by the mental projection of the city-space and city as a gendered space.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are critical to the economy. SMEs exist in every sector of the economy. The plantation sector is a landmark cable manufacturing industry in the economy of Sri Lanka. The plantation sector presently has more business ventures with SMEs. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the impact of financial management practices on the financial performance of SMEs in the plantation sector. This study considered financial management practices as the independent variable and the financial performance of SMEs as the dependent variable. The data for this study was collected using a questionnaire that was distributed to 40 SMEs in the plantation sector in the Kalutara district using a purposive convenience sampling method. The data was analyzed by using correlation analysis and regression analysis. According to the correlation analysis, the findings revealed that all variables were positively correlated with financial performance. Further, the regression analysis indicated that working capital management practices, capital structure, management practices, and financial reporting and analysis practices significantly affected financial performance. The quality of financial performance through employing financial management practices (FMPs) in plantation sector SMEs would be crucial for proprietors, managers, executives, employees, and other interested parties who can reasonably practice utilizing organizational resources for optimal financial performance. This study continues the discussion on numerous practical suggestions and provides directions for future research.
