Published: October 2024

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Government Internal Control System (SPIP) at Dr. Radjiman Wediodiningrat Mental Hospital, Lawang, Malang and to develop a strategic plan from the Internal Audit Unit (SPI) in conducting supervision of the Mental Hospital. This research is qualitative research. The informants are the Head of SPI and other respondents. In formulating alternative strategies, SWOT analysis is used with the IFAS and EFAS approach methods. The results showed that SPI is in quadrant I (supporting growth strategy), which has strong internal strengths to grow in seizing existing opportunities. The resulting strategy is to improve internal control in the RSJ through the formation of the SPIP Task Force in organizing internal control in the hospital, increasing the knowledge and understanding of the heads of work units, on all matters relating to inherent supervision within the scope of their work units and utilizing information technology by creating a Supervisory Information System application to support supervisory performance, especially in terms of organizing SPIP in the hospital. The implications of this research are significant for enhancing internal control systems and strategic planning within healthcare institutions. By identifying SPI's current position and proposing targeted strategies, this study provides actionable recommendations for improving internal oversight and control mechanisms. The formation of a dedicated SPIP Task Force and the development of a Supervisory Information System application are expected to strengthen internal controls, streamline supervision processes, and enhance overall organizational efficiency.

Published: October 2024

The structural evaluation of agricultural soil is essential for the performance and quality of production. Soils suffer surface consolidation when subjected to agricultural machinery traffic and alter their physical characteristics according to the management to which it is subjected. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the physical indices and surface consolidation of a red oxisol subjected to different loads and types of management. Undeformed soil samples were collected from three areas with different management systems: no-tillage, crop-livestock--forest integrated system (CLFI), and pasture area. Traffic simulations were conducted with application of dynamic loads, using 0 pass, 1 pass, and 2 passes (0, 108, and 216 kpa), evaluating the physical indices of the soil's natural specific weight (yn), dry apparent specific weight (yd), void index (n), and porosity (e). Subsequently, the samples were subjected to uniaxial compression tests using loads (108, 216, 432, 864, and 1500 Kpa) to verify the surface consolidation. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, with a 3x3x5 factorial scheme in sub-subdivided plots. Thus, we verified that the no-tillage management system has a more porous soil due to its characteristics, presenting lower resistance and being better for planting. CLFI was characterized as a management that allowed the soil to be more resistant to the application of loads and, therefore, less porous. Pasture has an intermediate behavior.
Para una genealogía de la posverdad: sobre su supuesta procedencia nietzscheana
Authors: Galparsoro José Ignacio
Published: October 2024

El problema de la posverdad permite auscultar nuestro presente y mostrar lo que tiene de vacua insustancialidad. Trazar su genealogía y remontarse a su supuesta procedencia nietzscheana puede ayudar a interpretar de manera menos apresurada los textos de este autor, de modo que sean de utilidad para tratar de construir nuestro futuro más inmediato con otras bases distintas a las de la posverdad. La crítica al dogmatismo en el terreno de la verdad no ha de conducir a la equiparación de todas las verdades —ni, por tanto, a la supresión pura y simple de la verdad. Más bien es una oportunidad para que se abra espacio a una concepción de verdad que, dirigida por la virtud de la Redlichkeit, tenga la valentía de aceptar que la pluralidad de perspectivas y la incertidumbre que de ella se deriva son ingredientes intrínsecos al mundo.

Soybean (Glycine max. (L.) Merrill) is a crop whose productivity depends on the quality of the seeds used. In this context, the objective of this study was to characterize the seeds physically, evaluate viability using tetrazolium, identify physiological vigor through an electrical conductivity test, and determine the influence of temperature and photoperiod on the germination of four cultivars (Ultra, Olimpo, Extrema and Foco). 200 seeds were used, measuring size, weight of a thousand seeds, moisture content, and fresh mass. In tetrazolium (1%), 100 seeds were soaked for 4 h at 25°C. For electrical conductivity, 50 seeds were submerged on 75 mL of deionized water at 25°C for periods of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 h. In the germination process, the treatments (four replications of 50 seeds) were incubated (B.O.D.) at temperatures of 25°C, 27°C, 30°C and 35°C, under photoperiods of 12 and 14 h. The experimental design adopted was completely randomized for all experiments, and the means were subjected to analysis of variance and Tukey's test at 5% probability. The Ultra cultivar presented perimeter (38.21±3.72 mm), length of 9.98±0.24 mm, and width of 7.94±0.27 mm. The cultivars presented viability above 90%. For electrical conductivity, the 12 h period was effective for identifying vigor. The Ultra cultivar (25°C and 12 h of photoperiod) achieved 77% germination, 10 germinated seeds per day, an average germination time of 4 days and 43 germinated seeds by the third day.

O suicídio entre policiais no Estado do Paraná: fatores de risco e estratégias de prevenção
Authors: Sartor Indianara
Published: October 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar os fatores associados ao suicídio entre policiais no Estado do Paraná, com foco nas questões psicológicas, ocupacionais e institucionais que afetam esses profissionais. Utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa baseada em revisão bibliográfica e análise documental, o estudo examina como o estresse ocupacional, a exposição a traumas constantes e a cultura de invulnerabilidade emocional dentro das corporações policiais contribuem para o aumento dos casos de suicídio. A análise revela que, embora existam programas limitados de suporte psicológico no Paraná, eles são insuficientes e subutilizados, principalmente devido ao estigma cultural em torno da busca por ajuda. O artigo também discute a eficácia de programas de prevenção já implementados em outros estados, como São Paulo, e sugere a adoção de medidas similares no Paraná, incluindo a implementação de um programa estadual robusto de apoio à saúde mental e a criação de uma cultura institucional mais acolhedora. Por fim, o estudo destaca a importância de melhorar a coleta de dados sobre suicídios de policiais para fundamentar políticas públicas eficazes.

The issue of Food and Nutrition Security (FNS) in the Philippines has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and persistent social, environmental and agricultural problems. To address this concern, the involvement of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is explored by reviewing the local policies in the Philippines. Applications and recommendations on how human ecology can address the complex problem of FNS were then noted. This systematic literature review used a framework synthesis approach wherein the Australian National University (ANU) Transdisciplinary Framework was used to check if the stated policies, applications, and recommendations were aligned with the framework components, which are interactive, integrative, change-oriented, systemic, context-based, and pluralistic. This transdisciplinary framework is expected to promote policy change and development related to FNS. After that, 38 articles were included in the review. Upon the review, no local policies fit all of the ANU Transdisciplinary Framework’s components. Nonetheless, these policies mostly separately address food security and nutrition security. However, there are still no established responses to the concern of FNS as an integrated concept of food security and nutrition security. HEIs contribute to developing FNS-related policies by intensifying advocacy for integrating food and nutrition security and improving FNS-related research and programs.

Introduction: the legalization of abortion can be deduced as a current issue since it can be evidenced by various factors and events that have been put into public discussion around the world.Objective: to characterize aspects related to the legalization of abortion.Method: a review of the available bibliography in databases such as SciELO, Scopus and ClinicalKey was carried out, from which a total of 14 related articles were consulted, empirical methods such as logical history and analysis and synthesis were used.Results: the topic of abortion today is relevant since it is a public health problem and is present in our current social context. Research into people's opinions provides a valuable component on how society perceives the topic of abortion. In the case of women, the desired pregnancy represents a series of motivations related to some type of benefit that motherhood grants her. Abortion is the interruption of pregnancy before the estimated time of gestation of the woman is fulfilled. It is important to address this research topic in social psychology.Conclusions: the legalization of abortion in cases of rape contributes to the dignity of the pregnant woman. The issue of decriminalization is still controversial in the country because the Ecuadorian constitution does not approve the legality of this
Imperatives Under Chinese Monochrome Art: Revisiting “Magiciens de la Terre”
Authors: Bai Haochen
Published: October 2024

“Les Magiciens de la Terre” has long been hailed as the first international contemporary art exhibition including both artists from Europe, Africa, Tibet, China, and other non-western places. Yang Jiechang, Gu Dexin, and Huang Yong Ping were the only three Chinese artists to participate in this exhibition. They made their debuts in front of unfamiliar overseas audiences, in which their art practices were rearranged, and Yang started his familiar series of “100 Layers of Ink.” My paper shifts the attention away from the single monochrome artwork of Yang’s 100 Layers of Ink at the Smart Museum, recenters it on the original context of the inception of this series at “Les Magiciens de la Terre,” and examines the general imperatives of those three artists’ first debuts — “distinct originality” and “being well-prepared.” The heightening emphasis on originality had already surfaced on the contemporary Chinese art scene and culminated in the curatorial plan of the exhibition’s curator, Jean-Hubert Martin. On the other hand, because of the importance of the debuts, “being well-prepared” underlined every aspect of their art-making for the exhibition, including enlarging scales, complicating the artistic concepts, and increasing working time. All those factors contributed to the sudden shifts in their art practices and shed new light on the imperatives under Yang’s monochrome art and his reflections on colors.

Authors: Zheng Yaxin
Published: October 2024

This study explores the integration of Semantic Web (SW), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Knowledge Management (KM) to improve accounting practices in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Recognizing the challenges SMEs face in managing accounting knowledge due to insufficient expertise and fragmented data sources, this research proposes a conceptual model that utilizes SW technologies, such as Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Web Ontology Language (OWL), to create a unified ontology for diverse accounting information. By leveraging AI techniques, including machine learning and natural language processing, the model aims to enhance knowledge retrieval, ontology enrichment, and case-based reasoning, facilitating more efficient and accurate accounting knowledge management. The findings highlight the potential of this integrated approach to support online training, decision-making, and overall competitiveness of SMEs, addressing the limitations of traditional accounting practices. The study concludes with recommendations for further research to refine the integration of SW, AI, and KM in accounting.

Authors: Liu Davina
Published: October 2024

This paper explores the misrepresentation of Asian Americans in Storybird, an online platform where users publish creative writing. Through a qualitative analysis of five stories featuring Asian characters, the study identifies recurring stereotypes, such as cultural conservatism, physical biases, and societal pressures. These misrepresentations often reduce complex identities into cultural caricatures, perpetuating misleading perceptions of Asian Americans. By shedding light on these biases, the paper advocates for increased cultural sensitivity and the promotion of more nuanced portrayals. Recommendations include engaging Asian American creators and promoting media literacy among young writers to challenge existing stereotypes and foster more inclusive content.
The Influence of Personality on Music Preference Across Geographic Locations
Authors: Li Yanjin
Published: October 2024

How does personality affect music preference? The Big Five Theory of Personality is used to answer this question as it is the most widely used scientific method of assessing personality. The Big 5 comprises five broad trait dimensions: extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism. Most studies on music preference involve separating music into different genres and assessing preference. The main correlates of the Big 5 and music preference are discussed. Also, some research has shown that geography matters in the link between personality and music preference, while others do not.

Reduced productivity due to enteric infections in chickens is a very common challenge in the poultry industry of India. Various studies associated Chicken astrovirus (CAstV) as a common pathogen in commercial flocks exhibiting poor weight gain, stunted growth and visceral gout. However, no published report documented the detection of the virus from Kerala so far. Hence, this study was done to investigate the presence of CAstV in 50 broiler flocks from different parts of Kerala with clinical signs such as retarded growth, diarrhoea, and a mortality of 5 to 10 %. Out of the 50, five flocks were found positive for the virus by using the Reverse Transcriptase – Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) method with the primers targeting the partial ORF1b gene of the viral nucleic acid. The viral presence was confirmed by isolation using embryonated chicken eggs (ECE), which produced notable alteration to the infected embryos. Nucleotide sequencing of the isolates revealed a high identity of up to 100 % with the other CAstV sequences retrieved from the NCBI database. The study confirms the first report of molecular detection and isolation of CAstV from the state of Kerala.

Diversas formas de apresentar a qualidade das águas para fins de melhor gestão e entendimento da dinâmica dos corpos aquáticos frente às atividades antrópicas têm sido utilizadas. O índice de Qualidade das Águas proposto pela NSF se destaca internacionalmente em termos de relação da qualidade e alterações das condições sanitárias, considerando nove parâmetros com seus respectivos pesos. O trabalho objetivou verificar a correlação entre as variações do IQA e de parâmetros físicos (Condutividade e Cor) e químicos (Clorofila a e Cloretos). Foram utilizados dados de monitoramento da SEMACE de nove pontos da Bacia Hidrográfica do Salgado para os anos de 2017 (Abril) e 2018 (Março). O IQA mostrou-se sensível às condições de qualidade observadas, tendo em vista que nas localidades de maior urbanização o índice chega à categoria “péssima” de classificação. A cor obteve maior variação entre os parâmetros e uma correlação fraca com o IQA. A correlação mais forte foi encontrada para o parâmetro de Cloretos, sendo negativa e representando uma relação inversamente proporcional entre os valores.
