As an effort to improve the quality of education, it is closely related to effective leadership and management by a leader. Support from subordinates will be available and sustainable when the leader is truly qualified. A school will be capable of advancing when the leader possesses a vision and mission, managerial abilities, and also integrity in implementing quality enhancements. Moreover, the school further requires quality human resources to fulfill the objectives of an organization. This research aims to test and analyze the influence of democratic and charismatic leadership styles both simultaneously and partially. Methode in this research uses and approach a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The population of this study was all 35 employees of MI Jati Salam Jombang, then the sampling technique used was census or total sampling which involved all members of the population as samples. Based on the test results, it was found that democratic and charismatic leadership styles had a positive and significant influence both simultaneously and partially on employee performance. The implications of this research theoretically find that democratic and charismatic leadership styles are theoretically able to influence employee performance but are still influenced by the policies of the organization itself, and practically the application of these two leadership styles must be consistent and continuously improve

Authors: Antoro Eko Wahyudi , Supriyadi Stevanus Gatot , Astari Ita Yoeli
Published: December 2024

A business may be defined as an organizational structure that employs human, natural, and other economic resources to fulfill its aims. Human resources in an organization are one of the most important factors determining organizational effectiveness; as a result, every company requires a management control system, accounting control, and active participation in budget preparation with the goal of regulating organizational activities through organizational leaders so that they are consistent with the company's objectives. The purpose of this research is to analyze and assess the effect of management and accounting controls on budget preparation participation and managerial performance. This research technique uses a quantitative and associative approach. The study's participants were all PT. Garam (Persero) managers. The sampling strategy then used census or analytic methods to choose 49 managers from the overall population. The analytical method employs structural equation modeling analysis using partial least squares (PLS) 4 software tools, as well as mediation testing using the sobel test calculator. The test results showed that the accounting control variable had a significant impact on budget preparation participation but not management performance. The management control variable did not have a significant influence on either budget preparation participation or managerial performance. Meanwhile, the engagement variable in budget preparation has been found to have a significant impact on managerial performance. Furthermore, this study discovered that budget participation variables act as a moderator in the relationship between accounting control variables and managerial performance, which contradicts the relationship between management control variables and managerial performance.

Authors: Sumita  , Maksum
Published: December 2024

Cosmetics have become an important part of women's lives, including teenage santriwati at Pondok Pesantren Annuqayah, who use cosmetics not only to maintain skin health but also to boost self-confidence. Indonesia, as the second largest market for halal cosmetics, is a relevant place to examine the influence of Islamic branding, halal awareness, trust, and product quality on purchasing decisions. Islamic branding is expected to give consumers a sense of trust that the product is halal. Halal awareness also influences consumers in choosing halal-labeled products as part of compliance with sharia. The research uses a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling technique with the criteria that female Santri are at least 15 years old, Wardah cosmetic users, and have used it for the past year. The data were analysed using multiple regression with a sample of 100 respondents obtained through filling out a questionnaire by Santri, which was then carried out using a using a validity test, a classical assumption test, and hypothesis testing using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS. The results showed that partially Islamic branding (0.029), trust (0.003), and product quality (0.001) have an influence on the purchasing decisions of Pondok Pesantren Annuqayah Santri on Wardah cosmetic products, while halal awareness (0.062) has no effect. These results provide an understanding of the behaviour of santri through an Islamic economic approach. Further research can increase the number of observations about the behaviour of Santri at the Islamic Boarding School.

Wacana Antagonisme Fans Kpop Blackpink dalam Media Berita Online Indonesia
Authors: Saputri Nur Amala
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
This research aims to determine the discourse of Blackpink fan antagonism which is built through news by Kumparan.com. Kumparan as one of Indonesia's online news channels is assumed to be contributing to the contestation of perpetuating the antagonistic image of Kpop fans in Indonesia. The researcher uses the critical paradigm and Laclau's theory of discourse analysis as a tool for analysis. The method used is hegemonic and deconstructive analysis which is used to analyze research objects. The data collection technique uses hashtags and search features on the Kumparan site or platform. The news classification used as the research corpus is those belonging to the hashtags #Blackpink, #Blink, #Persija, #Jackmania (10 news stories in March 2023). There are 2 findings, firstly, the practice of platypus journalism carried out by Kumparan actually minimizes the exploration of in-depth information and does not represent the public's voice fairly. This actually gives rise to partiality and clarifies the agenda of the Kumparan media. Then, the second finding is that Blackpink fans (Blink) antagonism discourse is constructed using negative and quite provocative words. Moreover, Kumparan also helped build subject interpellation as a discursive strategy in building an antagonistic discourse field for Blackpink by presenting formal parties and supporting parties.

Socioemotional competencies and happiness: the moderation of mindfulness and social media engagement for emerging adults
Authors: Balayar Bhoj , Langlais Michael
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between socioemotional competencies (SECs) and happiness and to test the moderating effects of mindfulness, social media engagement (SME), and cultural orientation. A total of 224 participants (Mage = 23.29, SD = 6.01; 69% women) from Nepal (n = 70) and the United States (n = 154) completed an online survey. This study utilized the SEC and mindfulness scales, as well as the Subjective Happiness Scale, and employed hierarchical regression and moderation analyses. The results revealed that SECs and mindfulness were positively associated with happiness (SECs: B = 0.38, p < 0.001, R² = 0.15; mindfulness: B = 0.39, p < 0.001, R² = 0.31), while high SME was negatively associated with happiness. However, neither mindfulness (B = 0.17, p < 0.05, ΔR² = 0.02) nor SME (B = 0.03, p = 0.46, ΔR² = 0.02) moderated these relationships. The moderating effect of cultural orientation on the SECs–happiness relationship was statistically significant (B = 0.54, p < 0.05), suggesting that happiness is a subjective phenomenon influenced by cultural context. This study highlights the interconnections between SECs, mindfulness, SME, and happiness, with an emphasis on cultural variations. It suggests that integrating mindfulness and SECs while accounting for cultural differences can enhance happiness. These insights provide valuable guidance for promoting emotional regulation and mental health in a technology-driven society.

Generalised Additive Model based Regional Flood Frequency Analysis: Parameter Regression Technique Using Generalised Extreme Value Distribution
Authors: Rima Laura , Haddad Khaled , Rahman Ataur
Published: December 2024

This study examines the effectiveness of generalised additive models (GAMs) and log-log linear models for estimating the parameters of the generalised extreme value (GEV) distribution, which are then used to estimate flood quantiles in ungauged catchments. This is known as parameter regression technique (PRT). Using data from 88 gauged catchments in New South Wales, Australia, flood quantiles corresponding to various Annual Exceedance Probabilities (AEP) were estimated, which were then used as dependent variables and several catchment characteristics were used as independent variables. GAMs were employed to capture non-linearities in flood generation processes. The study evaluates different GAM and log-log linear models, identifying the best ones based on significant predictors and various statistical metrics using a leave one out (LOO) validation approach. Results indicate that GAMs provide more accurate and reliable predictions of flood quantiles compared to the log-log linear models, demonstrating better performance in capturing observed values across different quantiles. The absolute median relative error percentage (REr%) ranges from 33% to 39% for the GAMs, and from 36% to 45% for the log-log models. GAM demonstrates better performance compared to log-log linear models for quantiles Q2, Q5, Q10, Q20, and Q50; however, their performance appears to be similar for Q100.
Enhancing Construction Safety: A deep-learning based Personal Protective Equipment Detection System
Authors: Owolabi Daniel Oluwatise , Moru Desmond
Published: December 2024

Worker safety is notably improved through the application of personal protective equipment (PPE), which effectively reduces the severity of injuries or fatal incidents in environments like construction sites, chemical facilities and hazardous areas. PPE is extensively mandated to ensure an acceptable level of safety, addressing not just accidents at the mentioned sites but also the risks posed by chemical hazards. Due to various factors or oversights, workers may intermittently fail to adhere to safety regulations regarding wearing protective equipment. Traditional manual monitoring is both labor-intensive and prone to errors. Thus, there is a pressing need for the advancement of intelligent monitoring systems capable of providing automated and precise detection of such safety equipment. As a solution, we present a deep learning approach for the real-time detection of PPE components, including helmets, safety boots, vests and gloves. The proposed deep learning model exhibited a remarkable mean average precision of 97.1%, indicating the model’s proficiency in object localization and recognition. These results not only underline the effectiveness of the deep learning -based PPE detection system but also emphasize its practicality in diverse industrial and occupational settings. By surpassing established benchmarks attained in literature, this research contributes significantly to enhancing safety standards and reducing the risk of workplace accidents.

Published: December 2024

The maintenance of betalains and color of extracts from peel of red beetroot (RBAC), golden beetroot (YBAC) and purple prickly pear (PBAC) were evaluated, describing the capacity of their use as natural pigments and formulation of attractive and functional foods.
Betalain extracts were prepared as juices from frozen and dehydrated peel, adding organic acids and concentrating to obtain extracts with reduced water (10-15%). RBAC, YBAC and PBAC were analyzed below betalains content, colorimetric characteristics, color stability and shelf-life. Ex-tracts were applied on cottage cheese, measuring the capacity of betalains retention and pig-mentation, during 10 days of storage of closed and opened products.
Extracts RBAC showed the highest betalains content, predominating betacyanin, followed by YBAC with high betaxanthins content, and PBAC with less betacyanin concentration. The pH stability for the extracts was pH4-7; RBAC and PBAC were stables at 125°C. Extracts were constant < 10 days under oxygen and light exposure; however, YBAC exhibited low resistance at this environment.
On cottage cheese extracts exposed no changes in betalains and color on closed products (10 days of storage at 4°C). In opened products, PBAC maintained the maximum betalains and color, 90%, PBAC 75%, and YBAC 60%.
Breast Cancer Classification Using an Adapted Bump Hunting Algorithm
Authors: Nassih Rym , Berrado Abdelaziz
Published: December 2024

The Patient Rule Induction Method (PRIM) is a data mining technique used for identifying patterns in datasets, particularly focusing on discovering regions of the chosen input space where the response variable is unusually high or low. It falls in the subgroup Discovery field, where finding small groups is more relevant for the explainability of the results, although it is not a classification technique per se. In this paper, we introduce a new Framework for the breast cancer classification based on PRIM. This new method involves, first, the random choice of different input space for each class label. Second, the organization and the pruning of the rules using the Metarules. And finally, it also includes the proposition of a way to handle the class overlapping and, hence, define the final classifier. The Framework is tested on five real-live breast cancer datasets and compared to 3 often used algorithms for breast cancer classification: XG Boost, Logistic Regression and Random Forest. Across the four metrics and datasets, both our PRIM-based Framework and Random Forest demonstrate robust performance, with our framework showing notable accuracy and recall. XGBoost maintains strong F1-scores across the board, indicating balanced precision and recall. In the other hand Logistic Regression, while competent, generally underperforms compared to the other algorithms, especially in terms of accuracy and recall, achieving 94.1% accuracy against 96.8% and 85.4% recall against 94.2% for the PRIM-based framework on the Wisconsin dataset.
Nanofluids as Coolants to Improve the Thermal Management System of a High-Power Aircraft Electric Motor
Authors: Di Lorenzo Giuseppe , Romano Diego Giuseppe , Carozza Antonio , Pagano Antonio
Published: December 2024

Electrification has become increasingly common in aerospace due to climate change concerns. After successful applications in general aviation aircraft, electrification is now addressing subregional (<= 19 pax) and regional aircraft (~ 80 pax). Megawatt-class electric motors are needed both to drive propellers and to act as high-power generators in hybrid-electric propulsion systems. Although the efficiency of these electric machines is very high, the power levels require the design of heat management systems capable of dissipating a much higher quantity of heat than that dissipated by traditional cooling systems. Coolants also deserve renewed attention as their associated physical properties need to be improved to ensure greater heat removal than conventional coolants. The technical solution here explored is the addition of nanoparticles into a base liquid. Nanoparticles, in fact, have unique properties such as high thermal conductivity and large surface area that enhance the heat transfer capacity of base liquids. However, the addition of nanoparticles into a base liquid induces new challenges to be faced, such as stability, thermal and electrical conductivity properties of nanofluids, cleaning and erosion of equipment. The Italian Aerospace Research Centre (CIRA) has developed, as part of the European research initiative ORCHESTRA, a thermal management system (TMS) based on impinging jets technology for a 1 MW electric motor. This work presents the subsequent activities that CIRA has carried out to demonstrate the enhancements achievable from nanofluids. In particular, two different nanoparticles were added to the base liquid of the cooling system of the aforementioned 1 MW electric motor: alumina and graphite in two distinct molecular structure configurations, each with different concentrations between 1% and 10% (volume fraction of diathermic oil). The application of nanofluids to the reference TMS is shown to increase heat transfer at a fixed mass flow rate.

Nuevas consideraciones acerca de la intervención de José Benito de Churriguera en el antiguo convento de Santo Tomás de Madrid
Authors: Ortega Jiménez José Manuel
Published: December 2024

En este artículo se examinan varios documentos del Archivo Nacional y el Archivo Histórico de Protocolos de Madrid sobre los trabajos ejecutados por José Benito de Churriguera en la capilla mayor y la cúpula de la iglesia del convento dominico de Santo Tomás (Madrid). Esta intervención se conoce desde el siglo XIX, aunque será en 1929 cuando García Bellido cite la procedencia de los documentos que lo demostraban. En 1975, Virginia Tovar ampliará esta información con nuevas noticias, hecho que debería haber producido un mayor interés por esta importante edificación dentro de la comunidad científica. Sin embargo, la documentación no ha sido objeto de estudio, salvo algunas menciones. Considerando que su análisis puede aportar una nueva perspectiva a la obra del artífice, y a la historia del conjunto, procedemos a estudiar los documentos, algunos de ellos no publicados con anterioridad.
archetypal image of Christ and its narrative assimilation in the modern cinema of Evald Schorm
Authors: Lozano Briales Pablo
Published: December 2024

This article attempts to analyse and interpret the archetype of Christ in the cinematographic work of Czech director Evald Schorm in the decade of 1960. Throughout the investigation the fact that all of Schorm’s protagonists prefigurate Christ will be showcased as a symbolic motif he uses to articulate a series of films reflecting on modernity’s tendency towards the alienation of the individual, the loss of ideals and the moral decadence of his time; concepts that link him with the cinematographic modernity of the fifties and seventies. Nevertheless, and in stark contrast to other authors who had a great reception in the international scene, Schorm’s cinema hardly made itself known outside Czechoslovakia. It is this article’s objective to delve into the reasons why one of the most relevant filmmakers in Czech cinema was led to isolation.
Okabe Masao. El frottage como apropiación. De Hiroshima a Fukushima
Authors: Cabañas Moreno Pilar
Published: December 2024

Este estudio proyecta una mirada analítica sobre la obra del artista Okabe Masao,2 desde la perspectiva propuesta por el antropólogo Alfred Gell y su teoría antropológica del arte, que se proyecta en este desde la red de vínculos que se establecen alrededor de la obra. Para poder abordarlo desde esta teoría es necesario recurrir a metodologías como la biográfica, la sociológica, la historicista, la filológica y la fenomenológica, que nos permitirán un análisis de los contextos en base a todo tipo de fuentes, y teniendo también en cuenta el fenómeno con las experiencias narradas por los distintos sujetos. En el caso de Okabe la comunidad se entrelaza por medio del frottage con sus conciudadanos y con el pasado en el presente, para lanzar la memoria de esta hacia el futuro. En este contexto la técnica del frottage por su inmediatez y el contacto que facilita con aquello que le sirve de matriz, juega el papel de ser herramienta de apropiación. Por su significación, utilizaremos las obras que el artista ha realizado en torno a, y con las comunidades de Hiroshima y Fukushima, dos ciudades que han sufrido la radiación nuclear.

Authors: Signes Solbes Mercedes , Bonete López Beatriz , Wobbeking Sánchez Marina
Published: December 2024

Theoretical Framework: Given the aging population, the challenge arises of facing the increased probability of suffering from pathological aging. One of the most effective ways to do this is by promoting active aging, which aims to achieve an optimal quality of life. Cognitive reserve (CR) plays an essential role in this, which has been related to life satisfaction and has been proposed as a protective factor against cognitive deterioration. This work aims to analyze the relationship between CR and life satisfaction in an older population sample.  Method: To this end, the Folstein Minimum Mental State, the Cognitive Reserve Scale, the Cognitive Reserve Questionnaire and the Vital Purpose Test are administered to a sample of 61 older people who attend the Workshops for Active Aging and Healthy from the Department of Social Services and Equality of the Villajoyosa City Council. Results: The results show an assessment between the criterion variables and a positive linear relationship between educational level and CR. Conclusions: These types of studies in which the keys to improving the quality of life of older people are evaluated are currently an immediate need.

Vulcanian eruptions, characterized by intermediate magma compositions, pose significant hazards due to their potential for both magmatic and phreatomagmatic fragmentation. The Young Ciremai volcano located in Indonesia has undergone recent phreatic-phreatomagmatic eruptions (from 1698 to 1951), with previous eruptions likely exhibiting both magmatic and phreatomagmatic fragmentations. In order to reconstruct the eruptive histories and elucidate the fragmentation mechanism, we integrate stratigraphic analysis, grain size distribution, componentry, bulk XRD analysis of fine ash, and petrographic analysis, which encompassed the morphometry, vesicularity, and crystallinity of ash particles. The results indicate a complex eruption history characterized by changing fragmentation mechanisms. Magmatic fragmentation correlates with the Vulcanian eruption style, which is characterized by diverse grain size distributions and higher vesicle number densities. The interactions between magma and water drive phreatomagmatic fragmentation, characterized by predominant finer ash exhibiting blocky textures and lower vesicle number densities. The eruptive evolution is described into three distinct stages: Stage 1 indicates magmatic fragmentation resulting from conduit plugging, Stage 2 signifies phreatomagmatic activity originating from the interaction with shallow groundwater, and Stage 3 emphasizes phreatic-hydrothermal activity with continuous recent solfatara manifestation. The results highlight the potential hazards of alternating magmatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions, including pyroclastic density currents and sudden phreatic explosions.

Background
Laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVR) has gained increasing acceptance for the treatment of patients with a full-thickness rectal prolapse (RP), but the literature on follow-up of at least ten years is scarce. We studied recurrence rate, long-term functional results, and quality of life in patients who had LVR for RP more than twelve years ago.
Method
The study population consisted of patients who could be contacted among the 175 who had undergone LVR for RP and whose short and medium-term outcomes were published in 2012. We studied the long-term recurrence rate (Kaplan-Meier), functional outcome (Wexner and ODS scores), quality of life (EuroQol), and satisfaction of the patient through clinical examination(s), specific scores, and questionnaires.
Results
Of the 175 patients, 14 patients had exclusion criteria, 57 had died, and 42 were lost to follow-up, leaving 62 patients for analysis. Seventeen patients presented with a recurrence (10.5%) at the 10-year follow up. The only statistically significant risk factor for recurrence was recurrent RP (HR = 11.5 (2.54–52.2), p = 0.002). The median faecal incontinence score was 4 (0–10) and significantly worse in patients who had a recurrence (12 (7–13) vs 3 (0–9); P = 0.016). The median obstructive defaecation score was 6 (3–12). The median quality of life score was 7 (6–8). Most patients who presented with a recurrence said they would undergo the operation again and recommended it, as would patients with no recurrence.
Conclusion
LVR for RP is a safe and efficient technique with sustainable long-term results that shows long-term efficacy at more than 10 years after the operation.

Nanoparticles of blanched green banana peels (BGBP) were prepared using physical technique (by grinding) in order to avoid any harm effect on human health that could occurred when metals were used for preparing nanoparticles size (NPs) of banana peels. This work was designed to study the preparation of NPs from BGBP and evaluate the activities of their extracts as antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer agents. The size and shape of nanoparticles were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Fourier transform IR (FT-IR) for identifying organic and polymeric materials, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to determine the materials crystalline structure. Bioactive compounds (mainly phenolic compounds) were recovered by extracting banana peels weather from normal size or (NPs). The extracted bioactive compounds were subjected to evolution as antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer agents. Dealing with this study, it was concluded that bioactive compounds extracted from NPS of BGBP showed antioxidant, antimicrobial and anticancer activities higher than those extracted from the normal size ones. So, it is strongly recommended to use NPs of BGBP for producing these bioactive compounds since these compounds are important to protect humans against a lot of dangerous diseases.

Drawing inspiration from online question-and-answer (Q&A) communities often regarded as embodiments of Collective Intelligence (CI), this study investigates the dynamics of reputation-driven and distributed network interactions in multi- agent systems as a model for problem-solving in global optimisation. We explore the interplay among diverse participants, including Solvers motivated by reputation and Users seeking net benefits, recognising its critical role in fostering success within these communities. Our study translates the principles of CI inherent in these interactions into a novel agent-based search algorithm for unconstrained optimisation of continuous-valued cost functions. Empirical testing across a suite of established benchmark problems allows a comparative analysis of its perfor- mance against alternative agent-based methodologies. These findings underscore the algorithm’s advantages across diverse optimisation 2D landscapes, highlighting the potential of the CI framework as a promising avenue in metaheuristic research. They illustrate how the interaction between individual actors and the collective, favours the emergence of global solutions in unknown environments, mirroring similar emergent phenomena observed in social organisations.

Wood-inhabiting fungi, a remarkably diverse group morphologically, phylogenetically, and ecologically, play a fundamental role in ecosystem processes, particularly in wood degradation and the recycling of organic matter. Recognized as pivotal contributors to the intricate balance of forest ecosystems, these fungi are renowned as “key players” due to their enzymatic prowess, effectively breaking down woody components like lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose. In the present study, a new wood-inhabiting fungal genus Nodulochaete, and two new species N. fissurata and N. punctata, collected from southwest China, are proposed based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. The new genus Nodulochaete is characterized by the resupinate basidiomata with smooth to tuberculate hymenophore, a dimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, presence of abundantly nodulose hyphidia, ellipsoid to ovoid, longitudinally septate basidia, and cylindrical to allantoid basidiospores. Sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and the large subunit (nrLSU) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) markers of the studied samples were generated. Phylogenetic analyses were performed with Maximum Likelihood, Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian Inference methods. Phylogenetic analyses of ITS + nrLSU nuclear RNA gene regions show that Nodulochaete forms a monophyletic lineage within the order Auriculariales. Furthermore, two new species N. fissurata and N. punctata were assigned to the genus Nodulochaete.
FairPlay: Improving Medical Machine Learning Models with Generative Balancing for Equity and Excellence

Understanding and addressing the innate complexities of applying machine learning to clinical outcome prediction requires a deep knowledge of the unique challenges inherent in this field. These challenges are particularly pronounced due to imbalanced datasets and the sensitive nature of tasks, especially in scenarios where critical outcomes are rare and ensuring equitable treatment across diverse patient groups is paramount. Despite attempts to improve these models and to bridge the divide in performance between different gender, racial, and ethnic groups, the disparity in representation, exacerbated by the overall scarcity of positive labels, contributes to biased predictions and decisions, further perpetuating health disparities.
This paper proposes a powerful approach using synthetic patient data, FairPlay, offering a dual solution: enhancing overall algorithmic performance while mitigating bias by bolstering un-derrepresented populations. By generating realistic, anonymous synthetic data echoing real patient characteristics through an advanced , large language model-based approach, we not only improve representation without compromising privacy but also improve the general performance of algorithms by exposing them to a richer variety of patient profiles.
We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach through a variety of experiments on multiple datasets. We showcase that FairPlay can improve the performance of mortality prediction both overall and across multiple different groups. Specifically, we find that FairPlay can improve F1 Score averaged across a suite of downstream models by up to 21% without accessing any additional data or changing any of the downstream model training regimens. It achieves this across every subgroup while simultaneously shrinking the gap between different subgroup performances, as demonstrated through the universal improvement of a pair of fairness metrics across four different experimental setups.
