This research aims to determine the role and strategy of tax management by tax consultants in saving company tax burdens. This research is qualitative research with data collection methods through interviews and documentation. The research results reveal that tax management has four functions, namely tax planning, tax organizing, tax actuating, and tax controlling as a strategy for maximizing the efficiency of the tax burden. Analysis of the accounting method that will be determined is one of the considerations for tax consultants because it will give rise to different tax efficiencies, and changes in regulations in Indonesia are a challenge for tax consultants to always adapt in preparing tax planning. Tax efficiency can be said to be successful when the company succeeds in incurring the minimum possible costs for corporate income tax owed but with maximum compliance with tax regulations.
Keywords: efficiency of corporate tax burden; the role of a tax consultant; tax management;

Orbán’s Veto Play – The Subsidiarity Card
Authors: Uitz Renáta
Published: December 2023

Viktor Orbán is known to use veto threats in the European Council to get his way. This time, he was keen to see that after months of tense exchanges with the Commission, Hungary gets access to EU funds that had been blocked in order to achieve compliance with the rule of law and fundamental rights conditionality. So, PM Orbán saw it fit to loudly contest Ukraine’s accession and the financial aid package of 50 billion Euros. This may be PM Orbán’s strongest veto play to date.

Social identity, social influence, and response to potentially stressful situations
Authors: Bennamate Safa , Bouazzaoui Ahmed El
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the interplay between group identification and source membership in influencing perceived stress levels during challenging tasks. Drawing from self-categorization and social influence theories, two experiments were conducted.In Study 1, participants exposed to a video where the task was portrayed as stressful reported higher stress levels when the task was presented by an ingroup member compared to an outgroup member. However, in the "challenge" condition, where the task was seen as stimulating rather than stressful, no differences in perceived stress were observed between ingroup and outgroup sources.Study 2 further explored the role of group identification and source membership on perceived stress. Results revealed that higher group identification led to increased perceived stress levels, but only when the source was an ingroup member.These findings underscore the intricate relationship between self-categorization and social influence. They highlight that perceived stress levels in challenging situations are influenced by group identity and source membership, particularly when the source is perceived as an ingroup member. However, in situations where the task is perceived as a challenge rather than a threat, this influence may diminish.The study contributes to our understanding of social psychology and the complex dynamics involved in how individuals respond to challenging situations in a social context, offering implications for further research in this area.

Authors: Ferreira Alfaya Francisco Javier , Fuentes-Senise Carlos , Zarzuelo-Romero María José , Cura Yasmin
Published: December 2023

Introducción: La Atención Farmacéutica requiere que los pacientes comprendan la información brindada. La inclusión de ayudas visuales podría mejorar la comprensión de textos complejos como son los prospectos de los medicamentos. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar los efectos de la inclusión de pictogramas farmacéuticos sobre la comprensión de instrucciones elementales para el uso de medicamentos por estudiantes que finalizan la enseñanza básica.
Método: De un total de 309 alumnos participantes, se aleatorizaron 160 para leer tres prospectos de medicamentos de uso frecuente (ibuprofeno, amoxicilina/ácido clavulánico y omeprazol), mientras que 149 recibieron pictogramas junto a los prospectos. La aleatorización fue alterna según la posición de los alumnos en el aula. La comprensión fue estimada mediante cuestiones básicas del uso de medicamentos.
Resultados: En el grupo control solo el 38.75% de los alumnos contestaron correctamente cuándo tomar el ibuprofeno en relación a las comidas el 32.25% acertaron cual es la dosis habitual del antibiótico y el 61.88% identificó la indicación del omeprazol. En los tres casos, se encontraron diferencias significativas en favor de la comprensión en el grupo experimental (OR = 1.93; 95% IC, 1.23 – 3.05; p = 0.0041, OR = 3.87; 95% IC, 2.43 – 6.25; p = 10-7 y OR = 3.55; 95% IC, 2.07 – 6.29; p = 3.67x10-5 respectivamente). 
Conclusiones: La inclusión de pictogramas farmacéuticos en los prospectos es una estrategia sencilla que podría potencialmente favorecer el uso racional del medicamento.
New Strategy of Micronutrients Combined with Dietary and Lifestyle Adjustment for Alzheimer’s Disease Therapy and Partial Restoration
Authors: Li Jin-Tao , Xiu Guanghui , Li Jin-Tao , Zeng Yueqin
Published: December 2023

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), known as one of the most common cause of dementia, could lead to memory loss, difficulty with thinking and behavioral changes. To date, AD has been continuously regarded as an incurative disease of the aged and therefore as a big challenge for clinical neurology both in the therapy and prevention, which brings about heavy burden to not only the patients and their family, but also the society. In this review, it has been proposed a new strategy that would be synthetically implemented for the prevention and even partial restoration of AD clinically, in which multiple micronutrients, combined with diet and lifestyle adjustment, were used for AD patients and people who already had the pro-phase symptoms. Based on these notions, evidence and beneficial methods are put forward. It is promising to install a better and more efficacious AD administrative system, with aim to reduce the incidence rate and elevate the life quality of AD patients in a sooner future.

Failure Fiction - Why to empower failure culture in science?

Published: December 2023

Let's have a journey to a scientific world where there is no failure, no mistakes, so there is no need for a failure culture at all. Science fiction shows us how it is done. Hari Sheldon, psychohistorian; he knows how to save civilization. He has a plan and knows it all. In Isaac Asimov's Foundation - Trilogy scientists can save the wisdom of the known world, beware the citizens of the galactic empire from loss of its knowledge and so from total disaster. It is tempting to reach a point of prediction where you can avoid disasters, where a failure becomes a mere fiction.

The NW German Heathland: A Threatened Landscape?
Authors: Fischer Norbert , Küster Hansjörg
Published: December 2023

The term heath generally means wasteland. In the early modern period, extensive areas of heathland were created in north-west Germany, mainly through deforestation and subsequent grazing. This meant that the people living here had to practise a special shortage or wasteland economy. The economy of scarcity had not only had economic consequences, but also shaped society and mentality. For example, use boundaries and forms of use had to be defined. Meliorations were carried out. These and other processes are illustrated by a regional example from northwest Germany (Cuxhaven, Lower Saxony). Since late 19th century, a completely new, positively connoted meaning and perception of heathland emerged. The heath areas threatened with disappearance became the focus of a completely different perspective of use. They were seen –alongside the meliorations– as supposedly "primeval" and "original" landscapes that required special protection.

El término brezal significa generalmente tierra baldía. A principios de la edad moderna se crearon extensas áreas de brezales en el noroeste de Alemania, principalmente a través de la deforestación y el pastoreo posterior. Esto significaba que las personas que vivían allí tenían que practicar una economía particular adaptada a la escasez propia de las tierras baldías. La economía de la escasez no solo tenía consecuencias económicas, sino que también moldeó la sociedad y la mentalidad. Por ejemplo, había que definir los límites del territorio y las formas de uso, y, a la vez, se llevaron a cabo mejoras. Estos y otros procesos se ilustran con un ejemplo regional del noroeste de Alemania en Cuxhaven, Lower Saxony. Pero desde finales del siglo XIX surgió un significado y una percepción completamente nuevos de los brezales, ahora percibidos de una manera positiva. Los brezales amenazados de desaparición se convirtieron en el centro de una perspectiva de uso completamente diferente. Fueron vistos, junto con las mejoras, como paisajes supuestamente primarios y originales, y, por tanto, que requerían una protección especial.
„Neue Naturen“ in Postindustriellen Landschaften: Bildpraktische Strategien des Reflektierens Extraktivistischer Produktionsweisen in Politik und Alltag
Authors: Huszka Victoria
Published: December 2023

Der Forschungsartikel widmet sich anhand einer Fallstudie im Ruhrgebiet dem Themenfeld des Landschaftswandels vom Extraktivismus zu neuen Naturräumen. Im Zentrum der ethnografischen Untersuchung stehen regionale Instagramfotografen und ihre Bildproduktion, über die sie den Strukturwandel im Ruhrgebiet thematisieren und reflektieren. Instagrambilder werden in dieser Studie als alltagsweltlich eingebettete und verwobene Medienpraktiken begriffen; zur Einbeziehung ihres Entstehungskontextes baut das Forschungsdesign deshalb auf eine Methodentriangulation mit einem digitalethnografischen Ansatz, der mit Fotobefragungen, bewegten Interviews und Dokument- sowie Bildanalysen kombiniert wurde. Auf diese Weise zeigt die Analyse der alltagsweltlichen Bildproduktion in der Region, wie sich ein Verständnis von Natur als Freizeitraum und als verzauberte, romantische Landschaftsszenerie als neue ökonomische Ressource der Region manifestiert.

The article is dedicated to the field of landscape transformations from extractivism to nature spaces, based on the example of the Ruhr region. Through an ethnographic approach, regional Instagram photographers and their published images reflecting structural change in the Ruhr region were studied. Instagram images are understood as media practices embedded in everyday life. In order to include their context of emergence, they are examined using a digital ethnographic approach in combination with photo elicitations, go-along interviews, as well as document and image analyses. The analysis of everyday image production shows how the understanding of nature as leisure space and enchanted, romantic landscape scenery becomes a new economic resource for the region.

Isfahan Mescid-i Cuması ile Malatya Ulu Camii Özelinde Büyük Selçuklu Mirasının Anadolu’ya Yansıması
Authors: DOĞAN Belkıs
Published: December 2023

Cami, İslâm medeniyetinde merkezî öneme sahip bir yapı türüdür. İslâm’ın ilk mabedlerinden olan ve Hz. Peygamber (s.a.s.) devrinde inşa edilen Mescid-i Nebevî, prototip bir külliye gibi gerek plan gerekse işlev bakımından kendinden sonra inşa edilen camilere öncülük etmiştir. Fetihler neticesinde yerleşik ve köklü kültüre sahip pek çok kavimle temas içinde olunması, Müslümanların söz konusu medeniyetlerin mimari ve sanat birikiminden istifade etmelerini beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu doğrultuda İslâm coğrafyasının çeşitli bölgelerinde birbirinden farklı cami tipolojileri uygulanmıştır. Makalede mukayeseli olarak ele alınan Isfahan Mescid-i Cuması ile Malatya Ulu Camii’ne ait mihrap önü kubbeli, eyvanlı ve avlulu plan tipi ise Büyük Selçuklular tarafından geliştirilmiş olup İslâm mimarisinin bir dönemine damga vuran cami tipolojilerinin başında gelmektedir. Söz konusu plan tipinin Türk-İslâm mimarisi içerisindeki özgünlüğünden hareketle çalışmada öncelikle İran’da bulunan Büyük Selçuklu dönemi eserlerinden Isfahan Mescid-i Cuması ele alınmıştır. Ardından planın Anadolu’daki temsilcisi Malatya Ulu Camii üzerinde durulmuştur. Son olarak makalede öne sürülen Büyük Selçuklu mimari geleneğinin Diyâr-ı Rûm’a tesirinin Malatya Ulu Camii ile sınırlı kalmadığı yönündeki görüş detaylandırılmıştır.

The objective of this study is to assess the effect of Solanum incanum fruit (SIFE) and red onion peel (ROPE) extracts treatments on cotton fabric properties. The two factor factorial design was used, the first factor is concentration of the methanolic extract with two levels (3 g/l and 5 g/l) and the second is combination of extracts (25:75 SIFE: ROPE; 50:50 SIFE: ROPE; 75:25 SIFE: ROPE, 100% SIFE, 100% ROPE). Each extract was applied separately and in combination of different proportions on cotton fabric by the pad-dry-cure method using citric acid as a cross-linking agent. After treatment, the physical properties antimicrobial, wash durability and structual properties were determined. Air permeability, water absorbency and tensile strength were decreased for the treated fiber compared with control. Among all treatments, the cotton fabric treated with 50:50 combination was found best in bacterial reduction. This study concluded that, the natural source can sucessfully replace with synthetic chemicals.

Background: Various hormones have different impact in fertility either to predict, to investigate or to treat infertility. Due to hindrance in follicular growth, embryo development, implantation and placental formation thyroid dysfunction affects fertility. Studies suggest that thyroid disorder affecting follicular process is associated with ovarian reserve. Similarly serum FSH is directly related to AMH depicting strong correlation of age with each other. This study was conducted to see the association between thyroid dysfunction and serum Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) level. Methods: All the female having infertility between age of 20 to 45 were included in the study. Those who did not undergo hormonal assay were excluded from study. All the data were taken from Opd record and their serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, AMH and Day2 Follicle Stimulating Hormone Luteinizing Hormone, Prolactin, Estradiol and Progesterone were evaluated. Result: A total of 292 patients visited infertility clinic at our institution over a period of 1.5 yrs and of them only 80 had undergone all hormonal assay. Majority of women enrolled for the study were in the age group 21-30 and the mean age was 29.98±5.4 yrs. Hypothyroidism was seen in 27.5% (n=22) females while we found no cases of hyperthyroidism in our study. Though 35% of females had TSH <2.5. Low serum AMH levels (<1.6 ng/ml) were noted in 25% (n=20). Among women of age less than 35 yrs and low AMH (<1.6) mean TSH was 7.27±6.93 and with normal AMH (>1.6) mean TSH was 3.61±1.73 which was statistically significant (p-value <0.001). Similarly mean FSH in women with low AMH (<1.6) was 8.66±2.89 and with normal AMH (>1.6) was 5.81±1.36 which was statistically significant (p-value <0.001). Conclusion: TSH and FSH level is inversely related to ovarian reserve infertile women.

Effects of NPK fertilizer could have positive or negative effects in relation to growth of crops under certain environments, with minimum findings on how crops react to fertilizers under microplot conditions. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the effects of increasing NPK fertilizer rate on Jatropha zeyheri tea growth under microplot conditions. At two-leaf phase, J. zeyheri seedlings were transplanted into 25 cm diameter plastic pots. Each pot was filled with heated pasteurized sandy soil and Hygromix at 3:1 (v/v) ratio and placed in a spacing of 0.30 m × 0.30 m inter-and intra-row spacing. Six treatments constituting NPK fertilizer rates (0, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 g) were arranged in a randomized complete block design, with five replications. Treatments were initiated a week after transplanting, and 130 days after that, treatments had highly significant effects on leaf width, contributing 66% in TTV, whereas significant effects were reported on vine length, stem diameter, leaf length and dry root mass contributing 61, 67, 68 and 49% in TTV, respectively. NPK fertilizer rates did not affect chlorophyll content, NDVI, dry shoot mass, number of leaves and leaf area index. Jatropha zeyheri yield variables when exposed to increasing fertilizer rates displayed positive quadratic relations. Use of fertilizers had setbacks when applied inappropriately leading to inconsistent results. However, determining optimum fertilizer requirement for J. zeyheri was a strategical solution for inappropriate application. Jatropha zeyheri fertilizer requirements were optimized at 3.30 g fertilizer/plant, which shows that J. zeyheri requires a minimum amount of NPK fertilizer to stimulate growth.

The first function of the system is to detect the presence of obstacles. When the user activates the system using the power ON/OFF switch, the Arduino microcontroller will read the data. When the ultrasonic sensor detects the presence of an obstacle in the process of moving forward, the robot will move backward. If the robot does not sense any obstacle, that is, if the distance between an obstacle and it is wide, it will then move forward again until it senses an obstacle before it stops. C programming is used for Arduino board applications to develop the program for the whole system's operation. There are three light-emitting diodes; the first one shows the amount of charge in the batteries, while the remaining two show that if the robot is moving forward, one of the two LEDs will be on, and if it is moving backward, one of the LEDs will also be on. There is also a power source unit that is used to charge the batteries used in the system.

This research study aims to investigate the current perception and attitudes of young males towards menstruation in a developing nation, specifically India. The primary objective is to understand the existing mindset regarding menstruation and assess the potential for change and improvement in the attitudes of university students. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were collected through a Google form and analysed using Excel and SPSS software. The findings indicate that educational qualification plays a significant role in shaping individuals' understanding and knowledge about menstruation. Furthermore, the study reveals that the stigma surrounding menstruation is more pronounced in rural and semi-rural areas. Importantly, the research highlights the influential role of female friends in enhancing male students' comprehension and awareness of menstruation and menstrual health. Promoting empathetic attitudes towards menstruation among male students is crucial for creating a supportive and inclusive environment for all individuals, irrespective of gender. These findings underscore the urgent need to address the prevailing taboos and misinformation surrounding menstruation, in order to improve overall well- being and reduce stigma in society.

"The growing awareness of the needs of pets by pet owners has also led to a diversity of diets on the market. Given that a proper diet is the best prevention for diseases such as obesity, diabetes, adverse food reactions, gastrointestinal disorders and even cancer, it is vital to guide owners early on towards an optimal diet for the physiological requirements of each individual pet. An increasingly debated topic in canine nutrition lately is the percentage of carbohydrates in dog food. The International Research Council has concluded that there is no need for carbohydrates at all in dog diets (corn, rice, potatoes, barley, etc.). However, carbohydrates are the dominant ingredient in most dry foods and they are abundantly present. They are not harmful to dogs when present in reasonable quantities. Carbohydrates provide a high source of energy, but the problem is the large amount in which they are found in many types of dry food. While protein, fat, fiber and moisture are always listed on a package label as part of the chemical analysis, pet food manufacturers are not required to list 'carbohydrates' in the food as they are the main macronutrient determining postprandial glucose levels. Because of this concern, we thought it appropriate to bring to the attention of dog owners the percentage of carbohydrates in different categories of dry dog food, as well as the types of cereals included in the dry food that have a different glycemic index, which is a system that measures the effects that carbohydrates in food have on blood sugar levels."
