Native advertising is increasingly the primary practice of online news media to gain economic benefits. The nature of native advertising resembling news content is considered effective in influencing the public. The media study in Indonesia focused heavily on media democratization following the authoritarian media system for more than three decades. However, Indonesian media's economic competition is becoming more challenging, and media personnel are looking for new ways to earn money from native advertising. This study investigates the contemporary development of Indonesian journalism concerning the increased native advertising practice. It utilizes the field theory of Pierre Bourdieu's journalistic and journalism social responsibility approach. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews of fifteen personnel from three Indonesian online news media. The study showed that Indonesian online news media highly practice native advertising to earn revenue. The increasing practice of native advertising in Indonesia urges journalists to be involved in advertising content production and dissemination. There is resistance from media personnel in native advertising practice. However, native advertising has become irresistible because most media are in an economic crisis. Native advertising drives media to make friends with every prospective client, including the Government. The media has become less independent and less concerned about their social responsibility as a watchdog because the Government and state apparatus are their clients. The media develop new norms and traditions to accommodate native advertising. Keywords: Indonesian journalism, journalistic field, media social responsibility, native advertising, online news media.
Two views on a single research object: mixed language code

Published: July 2024

The purpose of this article was to present the approaches and methods of Ukrainian and European scientists to the research of the interaction of two languages – Ukrainian and Russian in the communication processes between different segments of the society. As a result of close contacts, a mixed code with an uncertain status emerged, which received the figurative name “surzhyk” and was assessed by Ukrainian sociolinguistics as a threat to the development and functioning of the Ukrainian, primarily literary, language. The goal of the study was to analyze how the research object is presented in European science, namely in a scientific project in which Austrian, German and Ukrainian researchers participated (2019 – 2024). The research content was articles on mixed code published in Ukraine and abroad, as well as reports delivered at the seminar “Hybridization from two sides: Ukrainian-Russian and Russian-Ukrainian Code Mixing in the context of the (socio)linguistic situation in southern Ukraine along the Black Sea coast”, which took place in February 2024 in the Alpine-Austrian. University (Klagenfurt, Austria) and the participants of the project with the same name - researchers from the above-mentioned University named after Karl von Ossetsky (Institute of Slavic Studies), as well as Ukrainian and Polish researchers. This article belongs to the comparative and general research, therefore, the methods with which the author worked include the comparative method and the method of induction, which enabled to identify certain trends in the development of scientific thought in specific cases. The methods of analysis and synthesis allowed to analyze the approaches and methods of studying the results of the language mixing, which is Ukrainian-Russian Surzhyk. The analysis of the approaches and methods of analysis, recorded in the works of Ukrainian and Western European scholars - project participants, allowed us to draw conclusions that, when studying surzhyk, researchers have different goals in front of themselves. Ukrainian sociolinguists present it as a negative consequence of the existence of bilingualism on the territory of Ukraine, as a threat to the functioning and development of the Ukrainian language, as a space of interference phenomena in the structure of expressions. German and Austrian participants of the project, considering the historical and cultural development of Ukraine, consider surzhyk as a code that arose as a result of the complex communication interaction of languages and dialects living on the Ukraine’s territory, look for nodes of stabilization in it, single out regional lexifiers that form this code, analyze the systematic signs of the code due to the reduction of the variability of its units. Both groups emphasized the need to regard dialectal influences that allow to discuss different types of surzhyk, consider surzhyk a language of limited use and do not predict its establishing as a third language that ensures communication in society.

AN OVERVIEW OF ELDERLY CARE TECHNICIANS IN ELDERLY CARE SERVICES AS A SOCIAL POLICY FIELD
Authors: Şen Harika
Published: July 2024

Abstract
As in the rest of the world, in Turkey, the ageing population has become an issue that needs to be focused on. Elderly care service includes a social, economic and psychological process. Social policy, elderly care services are carried out by nursing and daycare homes. However, since placing elderly individuals in nursing homes is not a widely accepted approach under the traditional family structure in Turkey, care services are primarily provided in the elderly person's own home or their children's. In addition, the participation of women in working life mainly results in the elderly individuals at home being cared for by a newcomer woman, and this care service is often carried out by people who have not received the necessary training in elderly care and often by foreign national employees; accordingly, the care that should be supplied to the elderly is not provided proficiently. Particularly in the present, the lack of sufficient quantitative health professionals to meet the increasing elderly population causes deficiencies in providing the necessary care. Considering that this deficiency can be met at the technician level, geriatric care technician training programmes are being initiated, and the gap in this field is being filled with trained personnel shortly.
CLABSI and Bundle Adherence
Authors:   , Simon Holly
Published: July 2024

Central venous access devices (CVADs), or central lines, are often a necessary component to the care delivery protocol to complex patient populations. The central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) associated with the use of these devices has been related to adverse patient outcomes, and high cost for facilities. Despite advances in national goals focused on infection reduction, some facilities continue to face challenges. The National Healthcare Safety network (NHSN), developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) set benchmarks for hospital acquired infections (HAIs) so facilities could track their progress compared to national benchmarks. High rates of CLABSIs effect reimbursement, and if not addressed, could bring be financial penalties. The average cost per CLABSI in the medical progressive care unit (MPCU) at Einstein Medical Center, Philadelphia (EMCP) is presented. A review of the literature was conducted, and the evidence supports the importance of adherence to Central Venous Catheter (CVC) care and maintenance bundles. The MPCU at EMCP has a higher than benchmark rate of CLABSIs, highlighting an opportunity for improvement. The quality improvement project proposed in this paper is a gap analysis between actual practice and expected practice outlined in the organizations' approved protocol. The results demonstrate a gap in adherence with the current policy particularly with consistent, appropriate documentation of the care and maintenance of a central line. Compliance does not reach 100% in any category of CLABSI bundle adherence, evidenced by review of documentation. Seven out of sixteen categories in the bundle documentation had 0% compliance; the category that had the highest percentage of compliance with documentation was 73%. The data collected is displayed in charts and recommendations for stakeholders are provided. Keywords: CVC, CLABSI, bundle, NHSN, CDC

Authors:   , Sama Noella , Finley Emily
Published: July 2024

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), sometimes also referred to as Female Genital Cutting (FGC) involves partial or total removal of external female genitalia for non-medical purposes. This practice is a cultural rite of passage on women and young girls and the procedures can be classified under four categories ranging from partial or total removal of the clitoris to narrowing of the virginal opening, pricking and piercing of the genital area. According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 3 million girls are at risk every year and there are over 200 million girls who have already been cut in about 30 countries, with high prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa. As the immigrant population in Philadelphia continues to rise, the Philadelphia International Women's Project (PIWP) was developed to break barriers to care experienced by women who have been affected by Female Genital Cutting (FGC) and prevent future cutting to those at risk, while also increasing community capacity. PIWP has four major goals: community engagement, peer-to-peer support, clinical services, and provider education. To develop programs that best serve women in Philadelphia who have been impacted by FGM/C, a needs assessment was conducted to develop a better understanding of attitude towards FGC, effects of FGC on daily living, attitudes towards seeking health care, barriers and facilitators to accessing health care and unmet health care needs. The aim of the needs assessment is to identify the health priorities of women living with female genital cutting in the Philadelphia region and to develop a set of community-informed practices that will guide PIWP program implementation.

Child labour has an impact not only on health but also on education in the future. Being a child labour, the minimum consequence is the disruption of the child's time to go to school and in some cases, the child cannot go to school at all. This study uses data from the Indonesia Life Family Survey (IFLS) where the individuals studied are the same for each IFLS period. The results show that there is a difference between those who have worked as child workers in the past, who have a lower level of education than those who were not child laborers. The difference can be seen 14 years later. This is reinforced by the results of statistical tests with Logistic Regression where there is a strong relationship between child labour and the level of final education. Those who are child workers have a greater chance of only graduating from elementary and junior high school compared to those who are not child laborers.

Cryptography is a method for securing data or information from data leaks. In cryptography, there are two important processes, namely, the encryption and decryption processes. Encryption is the process of changing plaintext into ciphertext using certain keys and algorithms, while decryption is the process of changing ciphertext into plaintext using keys and algorithms that match the encryption. There is a cryptosystem that is well known, namely Cipher Hill. Cipher Hill uses a square matrix for the encryption and decryption process. In this research, an mxn-sized matrix will be used over the Direct Sum ring Z_p⨁Z_q⨁Z_r to expand the Cipher Hill algorithm. The author also uses the pseudoinverse concept to find the inverse of an mxn matrix. By using an mxn matrix, the encryption results allow the length of the plaintext to be different from the length of the ciphertext.Keywords: Cipher Hill, Cryptography, Decryption, Encryption, Direct Sum, Pseudoinvers

La Corée et le monde francophone : Le patrimoine, les arts et la culture coréenne dans l’espace culturel et scientifique de l’Indochine française
Authors: Paquette Jonathan
Published: July 2024

La Corée a longtemps été décrite comme un « royaume ermite » par les sociétés occidentales. Cette perception a été entretenue jusqu’au tournant du XXe siècle. Plusieurs transformations politiques ont fait en sorte de remettre en question la politique d’isolement de la Corée. Cet isolement a contribué à éveiller chez les Européens une certaine curiosité pour la Corée. À travers les missionnaires, les expéditions scientifiques, les missions commerciales, les missions géographiques et la littérature, la France a grandement contribué à la connaissance de la Corée dans le monde occidental et par extension, elle a contribué à la production de représentations et d’un discours sur la société et la culture coréenne. Alors que les relations diplomatiques formelles s’établissent entre la France et la Corée en 1876, la France de la IIIe République est aussi une France qui se déploie sur de nouveaux espaces coloniaux. Cet article porte une réflexion sur les marges de la France et en particulier sur l’espace colonial comme espace de production d’une idée de l’Orient. À ce titre, cet article porte un regard sur l’Indochine française et sur sa position – en tant qu’espace colonial, espace marginal de la France – mais aussi en tant qu’espace d’avant-plan et à ce titre d’espace de traduction et de production d’un imaginaire spécifique de l’Orient. En somme, cet article a pour objectif de mettre en relief la contribution de l’Indochine française à la constitution de l’imaginaire culturel de la Corée pour la France et le monde francophone.

The application of management has an essential role in increasing the existence of mass media. This study aims to determine the strategic management of online media as a digital communication channel through women's media based on Islamic principles. Along with the development of technology in Indonesia, online media is increasingly being used, leading to competition with one another, including in the women's segment. However, online media in the women and Islam segment still receives less attention, even though it has the same potential as other segments. For this reason, the study of strategic management in women's and Islamic online media has a role in creating an effective and efficient management system structure to achieve mass media goals.  Theoretically, this study analyzes the pattern of implementing the Planning, Organizing, Actuating, and Controlling (POAC) management functions in online media. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to women's and Islamic online media to determine the management strategy used. Furthermore, this study identifies the factors that influence managing online media through POAC and provides an overview of the management strategies implemented to increase public existence. The results of this study contribute to the development of mass media for online media management, readers, and regulators.

Published: July 2024

Plastic use has expanded substantially, and its waste is primarily disposed of in landfills, which further harm ecosystems owing to inadequate waste management. Pyrolysis, which converts plastic waste into liquid fuel, is one of the potential chemical recycling alternatives for plastic. The purpose of this study is to determine the viability of using pyrolytic oil from an LDPE grocery bag as an alternative fuel for a four-stroke spark ignition motorcycle engine. The LDPE grocery bag was pyrolyzed at 500 oC at a heating rate of 3 oC/min, and the condensed pyrolytic vapor's characteristics were determined. Torque, power, and fuel consumption were investigated using a four-stroke spark ignition motorbike powered by pertalite‒LDPE pyrolytic oil blends. The results reveal that the properties of LDPE pyrolytic oil and pertalite were considerably different; hence, when the blending fuel was applied to the motorcycle, the engine torque and power decreased at low engine speed (2000‒3500 rpm), about equal at medium speed (3500‒5500 rpm), and increased at high engine speed (5500‒8500 rpm). Furthermore, the greater blending fuel greatly reduced fuel usage due to the high viscosity of the LDPE pyrolytic oil.

Published: July 2024

Acute appendicitis is commonly associated with right lower quadrant abdominal pain and is a leading cause of emergent abdominal surgeries, carrying a significant morbidity risk. The rarity of anatomical deviations, such as appendix agenesis, complicates diagnosis and can exacerbate clinical outcomes due to diagnostic delays or mismanagement. We report the case of a 21-year-old male, who was surgically explored at prince Ali military hospital for suspected acute appendicitis based on clinical symptoms and an Alvarado score of 7. Despite strong clinical indications, imaging studies, including ultrasound and computed tomography, failed to visualize the appendix. Intraoperatively, appendix agenesis was confirmed, a finding seldom reported in medical literature. This case underscores the challenges of diagnosing congenital appendix absence and highlights the need for heightened awareness among clinicians to prevent unnecessary surgical interventions. Such awareness could potentially improve patient outcomes by sparing them from unnecessary surgical risks and complications.

The physicochemical quality of rice is evaluated to ensure that it is fit for consumption and meets established quality standards. This study aims to analyze the physicochemical properties of rice strains resulting from crosses between four high-yielding varieties of rice and two wild rices so that the appropriate genotype is obtained for the development of quality rice. The research was conducted from November 2019 to March 2020 at the Quality Laboratory, Muara Experimental Garden, Rice Research Center, Bogor. The rice genotypes used were 22 strains resulting from crosses between high-yielding varieties of rice (Ciherang, Inpari 13, Inpari 10, and Situ Bagendit), and wild rice (Oryza glaberrima and O. rufipogon), 4 comparison varieties of crossbred elders, and two comparison varieties of organoleptic tests (Memberamo and IR42). Physical and chemical qualities were observed in terms of grain moisture content, grain density, broken skin rice yield, milled rice yield, head rice yield, rice length, rice shape, and rice liming, amylose content, gelatinization temperature, and organoleptic. The results showed that the strains 44-F-C21, 58-F-C21, and 59-F-C21 provided fairly good rice quality with head rice yields above 80% and higher than their respective elders (Situ Bagendit and Ciherang), and water content below 14%. These strains had characteristic characteristics, namely medium rice form, amylose content of 26.38%, and alkali score of 2-3. Most of these genotypes also exhibited high gelatinization temperatures, medium rice texture, and savory rice flavors. The genotype selected from the results of crosses between high-yielding varieties of rice and wild rice has the potential to be developed because there are genetic improvements from its elders on several physicochemical characteristics of rice.   Keywords: amylose content; gelatinization temperature; physicochemical properties; rice lines; wild rice

Published: July 2024

With the development of our country's financial market, people pay more attention to the stock market return forecast, which can bring the investors a lot of income and also become a tool of risk management. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly sophisticated and have achieved amazing results in many fields. Machine learning and deep learning algorithm models can process huge amounts of data, from which they can quickly process and analyze laws, many scholars try to apply various machine learning models to the financial field. This paper first expounds the theoretical basis of stock market return prediction, and summarizes the main literature in this field in recent years, from the traditional stock prediction model to the machine learning prediction model. Finally, the traditional stock prediction model ARIMA model and the deep learning LSTM neural network model are selected for comparative empirical research. The sample data are from the Tushare big data community, taking the new energy vehicle stock BYD (002594) as an example. The empirical results show that the prediction accuracy and stability of LSTM neural network are far higher than ARIMA model, and it will have broad application prospects in financial prediction and other fields in the future.

Published: July 2024

Background: Indiscriminate use of insecticides against fruit flies (Tephritidae: Diptera) has led to the development of residue and resistance and there is a need to try alternate eco-friendly management practices. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is the most widely used bacterium forming proteins active against insects of different orders. Thus, the present study was framed to characterize and evaluate 50 indigenous Bt isolates against cucurbit fruit fly maggots, Zeugodacus cucurbitae. Methods: Colony morphology was observed visually, while crystal morphology was observed through a microscope. The cry gene content of the Bt isolates was screened by Polymerase Chain Reaction and the proteins harbored were assessed by SDS- PAGE analysis. Full diet contamination method was used to evaluate the toxicity of Bt isolates against cucurbit fruit fly maggots. Result: Uniform full white, off-white and creamy white colony colours were found except one isolate each, exhibiting full white at centre surrounded by off white and off white at centre surrounded by full white. Spherical shape crystal (45.10%) was predominant followed by cuboidal (29.41%), bipyramidal (17.65%), rectangular (3.92%) and minute crystal attached to spore (3.92%). Insecticidal proteins varied from ~15 to greater than 200kDa in size with one to four and more distinct bands per isolate. PCR screening revealed cry4Aa in 2 isolates, cry4Ba and cry11Aa in one isolate each, cyt1 in 1 isolate. The standard strain Bti 4Q2 (100% mortality of maggots) and the indigenous Bt isolates, T166 (92.59%), T184 (91.11%) and T60 (90.48%) were found to be significantly toxic.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic polymorphism of two populations of introduced R. pseudoacacia growing under drought conditions using ISSR markers. The individuals of R. pseudoacacia from two populations grow in the Ergeninskaya Upland, where a low level of moisture supply is observed. The difference between the populations lies in the conditions of growth, with the first population having a less favorable hydrothermal regime. Methods: ISSR markers were used to analyze the genetic structure of R. pseudoacacia. During this analysis, 6 out of 18 ISSR primers with a high information content were selected. Polymorphism and genetic diversity of ISSR loci in R. pseudoacacia were evaluated in two populations based on the obtained electropherograms using POPGENE v 1.31. Result: The study revealed that individuals of R. pseudoacacia growing in less favorable conditions have the greatest polymorphism of ISSR loci. Among individuals of the first population of R. pseudoacacia, the highest proportion of polymorphism was observed when using ISSR primers UBC 808 and UBC 826. Comparison of the obtained results of genetic structure analysis and the vital state showed that individuals with higher polymorphism, particularly using UBC 808 and UBC 826, have a more pronounced resistance to soil moisture deficit. The obtained results can be further used for selection and developing new resistant forms of R. pseudoacacia.

Background: Ascaridia galli is pathogenic in chickens and causes substantially reduced growth rates, weight loss, low egg production and death in infected chickens. It is necessary to carry out research on the molecular identification of A. galli in chickens in traditional markets in Surabaya using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method with the COX-1 mtDNA gene primer. Methods: This research was carried out from April to July 2023. The number of samples used in this research was 100 chicken small intestines taken from traditional markets in Surabaya, Indonesia. A. galli worms obtained from worm collections were identified according to the morphology of the A. galli worms. DNA extraction was carried out followed by PCR laboratory procedure. The specific primers utilized were designed to target the COX-1 gene and the amplified products were visualized in 1.5% agarose. Result: The A. galli worm has a long body posture. Male A. galli worms measure 30-50 mm long; while, adult female A. galli worms measure 65-80 mm long. The results of electrophoresis with a 2% agarose gel run for 30 minutes at 100 Volts and visualized under ultraviolet light using a UV Transilluminator (Geldoc) showed the presence of a single band of the COX-1 mtDNA gene in the 533 base pair. Infection with A. galli worms often causes reduced growth rates and decreased body weight, which is associated with increased worm weight.
Derrida’s Critique of Vegetarianism and the Ethics of Ecofeminist Contextual Vegetarianism
Authors: Baek Jong-Ryun ,   The Criticism and Theory Society of Korea
Published: July 2024

This article aims to interpret the implications of the critique of vegetarianism in Derrida’s animal philosophy and to consider it alongside the contextual vegetarian/vegan ethics of ecofeminism in order to propose a new vegetarian ethics that is constantly renewed through critical dialogues. In the current trend of the posthuman or animal turn in the humanities and social sciences at home and abroad, Derrida’s late philosophy of the animal has attracted attention in that it strongly criticizes the anthropocentrism of existing Western philosophy and sharply problematizes the limit and relations between the human and the animal. However, Derrida’s “ambiguous” stance on vegetarianism, a practice that resists meat eating as the most common form of human-animal relationship in modern urban society, is little known in Korea. By introducing Derrida’s position on vegetarianism and the critical dialogues surrounding it, this article argues for a move away from the rule-based and universalist ethics that dominate academic discussions on the topic in Korea. It also seeks to provide a richer theoretical foundation for vegetarianism as a practice that puts the brakes on the global capitalist system that exhausts the lives of humans and nonhuman animals alike, through a connection to ecofeminist ethics that emphasizes the importance of context. In doing so, this study would go a step further than repeating the familiar and valid argument that vegetarianism is not an obligation, and argue that, at least in the specific context of the here and now, practicing vegetarianism as much as possible is “eating well.”

The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes and behaviours of doctors and medical students towards brain drain. This study was executed in Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University (AFSU) between 14.11.2022 - 31.12.2022. It was conducted among 1st-6th grade students of the faculty of medicine and doctors of AFSU faculty of medicine. The sample of the study consisted of 691 students and 110 doctors. Data analysis was done in the SPSS 26.0 statistical package program. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square analysis were used. There were 784 (97.9%) Turkish citizens and 17 (2.1%) foreign nationals in the study. It is seen that 491 (61.3%) of the participants were female and 691 (86.3%) were students. When the opinions of the participants about working abroad were analyzed, 429 (53.6%) stated that they wanted to work abroad, 123 (15.4%) stated that they did not want to work abroad, and 249 (31.1%) stated that they were undecided. In response to the question "Would you consider returning if you want to practice medicine abroad?” 180 (42%) said yes, 114 (26.6%) said no, and 135 (31.5%) were undecided. Do you think language exams are an obstacle for you to go abroad? To the question "Do you think language exams prevent you from going abroad?", 315(39%) of the participants answered yes, 388 (49%) said no, while 98 (12%) stated that they were undecided. Higher income, better behavior (respect, love, understanding ...), insecurity are among the reasons why doctors want to go abroad. Other reasons include working conditions, technologically equipped health systems abroad, traveling opportunities, and career and further education opportunities. It has been observed that the rate of those who want to practice medicine abroad and those who want to return when they go abroad is high. It was determined that the foreign language problem is an important obstacle to brain drain. It has been understood that if the working fees in Türkiye increase, both students and doctors may give up going abroad.

Objetivo: Analisar a percepção de pais/responsáveis por crianças de 3 a 13 anos sobre o jogo no contexto do cotidiano de seus filhos. Metodologia: neste estudo descritivo/exploratório, transversal, quali-quantitativo e de campo, país/responsáveis (n=58) por crianças de 3 a 13 anos, participantes de colônia de férias social (CFS), responderam a questionários sobre a percepção em relação ao jogo, e a percepção em relação a importância entre o jogar e o uso de tecnologias pela criança. E ainda, participaram de entrevista semiestruturada, com a apresentação perguntas abertas referentes ao brincar. Resultados e Discussão: A maioria dos pais/responsáveis jogava na própria casa durante a infância (81,72%), há preocupações sobre o impacto da tecnologia, acredita-se que os jogos tradicionais podem desaparecer (50%), e as crianças não brincam como antigamente (78,04%). A influência das telas foi destacada, com alguns pais sendo os próprios incentivadores do uso devido à falta de opções. A compreensão do brincar foi associada ao lúdico e lazer, um momento privilegiado de felicidade e diversão. Apesar de reconhecerem a importância do jogo para o desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor, alguns pais enfrentam dificuldades em brincar com os filhos devido à falta de tempo. A satisfação foi expressa durante o momento de brincadeira em família proporcionado na CFS, indicando um desejo de preservar a tradição do brincar na família. Conclusão: Os pais percebem a preferência por jogos tecnológicos pelas crianças, mas reconhecem a importância do brincar tradicional para o desenvolvimento, destacando a necessidade de iniciativas como a CFS para preservar essas atividades na infância.
