A Classifier-Driven Deep Learning Clustering Approach to Enhance Data Collection in MANETs
Authors: Ali Ali Abdullah , Hussein Mohammed Khaleel , Subhi Mohammed Ahmed
Published: September 2024

The conventional clustering and routing approaches used in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) may fail to work effectively in a dynamic network environment where nodes are highly mobile and the traffic load may also vary significantly. These limitations result in negative effects such as high packet drop rates, delays in data transmission, and low delivery rates, which make these methods unfit for modern high-density networks. To overcome these issues, this paper proposes a new deep learning-based classifier for adaptive clustering in MANETs. Through the use of machine learning algorithms, the proposed method is able to adapt to node clustering through node behavior, mobility, and content distribution in real-time, thus improving network performance. This work compares the performance of the network on networks that contain 50, 100, and 200 nodes via a clustering algorithm. The performance parameters considered include the delivery ratio, packet drop ratio, and end-to-end delay. The evaluation findings show that the developed deep learning-based classifier is far more effective than the non-clustered and conventional clustering approaches are. In particular, the classifier approach provides a delivery rate of up to 89.4%, which is significantly better than that of the baseline scenarios and decreases packet drop rates by more than 70%, especially in high-density node scenarios. In addition, the proposed approach reduces the network delay and effectively handles the inherent dynamic characteristics of MANETs.

Published: September 2024

One of the most innovative pharmaceutical products now on the market is the transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS), which offers a non-invasive way to distribute medication. In-depth investigation of the mechanics behind drug dispersion through the epidermis and dermis is provided, together with an understanding of the complex science controlling skin penetration. The complex interplay between the physicochemical qualities of medications, skin traits, and formulation complexities is shown by examining the impacting elements. The several parameters that impact the effectiveness of TDDS include molecular size, lipophilicity, skin thickness, and blood flow. This paper explores formulation techniques by breaking down matrix and reservoir systems and shedding light on the subtle differences between drug-in-membrane and drug-in adhesive formulations. Carefully considered consideration is given to the design and development of transdermal patches, revealing the importance of the release liner, backing layer, adhesive layer, and drug reservoir in obtaining the best possible drug administration. Case studies highlight effective uses, such as how fentanyl and estradiol patches treatment and revolutionized pain hormone replacement therapy, or how nicotine patches helped smokers quit. To sum up, this investigation covers the science, difficulties, and potential applications of transdermal medication administration and provides a road map for physicians, researchers, and pharmaceutical industry experts. Transdermal medication administration has the potential to transform patient care with accuracy, efficiency, and improved treatment results as nanotechnology and smart systems redefine possibilities.

Published: September 2024

Hemifacial paralysis, characterized by unilateral facial weakness, poses diagnostic challenges due to its potential overlap with various conditions. This case report explores the differential diagnosis of hemifacial paralysis and distinguishing between underlying causes. Facial paralysis as a complication from routine dental procedures is rare but significant. This case report details the incidence of unilateral facial paralysis following a right-sided posterior superior alveolar nerve block during the restoration of tooth #1 in a 51-year-old male. The patient experienced immediate numbness and facial asymmetry, persisting over four weeks despite initial reassurance from the dentist. Differential diagnoses considered included Bell’s palsy, stroke, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, space-occupying lesions, Lyme disease, and nerve injury. Comprehensive testing ruled out these conditions, and Bell’s palsy was suspected. Treatment with methylprednisolone led to significant improvement, with complete recovery noted within two weeks. This case highlights the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment of facial paralysis, emphasizing the potential benefits of early steroid intervention even when the exact cause is uncertain.

A kamerás megfigyelőrendszerek kulcsfontosságú szerepet játszanak a bűncselekmények bizonyításában: akár képpel és hanggal, több látószögből rögzítik az eseményeket, segítik a történtek rekonstruálását, a tanúk beszámolóinak ellenőrzését, a bűnügy felderítését és a tettesek azonosítását. Az adatkezelésre vonatkozó kérdések folyamatosan felszínre kerülnek, mert a lefoglalt és a lefoglalással nem érintett elektronikus (és más) adatok kezelése, nyilvántartása, rendszerezése, tárolása és megsemmisítése, illetve a személyes adatok védelme önmagában is komoly kihívások elé állítja a jogalkalmazást. A digitalizáció begyűrűzése és az információtechnológiai eszközök fejlődése kétségtelenül megkönnyíti az életünket, de számos bizonytalanságot, ellentmondást és nem utolsósorban visszaéléseket hozott a felszínre.
Intersecciones entre la comunicación decolonial y la ética del cuidado desde un enfoque reflexivo
Authors: Tomiatti Giancola Bárbara , Donayre Guerrero Luisa Verenisse
Published: September 2024

El presente artículo explora las intersecciones entre la comunicación decolonial y la ética del cuidado, proponiendo un enfoque reflexivo que busca contribuir al desmantelamiento de las narrativas hegemónicas, y promover prácticas en línea con estos dos marcos conceptuales en los procesos comunicativos. La comunicación decolonial se presenta como una herramienta crítica que cuestiona y desafía las estructuras de poder y dominación impuestas por el colonialismo, mientras que la ética del cuidado se centra en la vida y su sostenibilidad. Por ende, su importancia radica en el diálogo intercultural, la atención a las particularidades, la solidaridad el bienestar colectivo y el cuidado de nuestro planeta. A través de un análisis teórico, el presente artículo examina cómo estos dos enfoques pueden converger para crear un modelo comunicativo más justo y equitativo. Se argumenta que la convergencia de la comunicación decolonial y la ética del cuidado permite, no solo visibilizar y valorar las voces y experiencias marginadas, sino también fomentar un entorno comunicativo que priorice el bienestar humano, la equidad de género y la sostenibilidad ambiental desde las cosmovisiones de los pueblos del sur global. Al destacar reflexiones teóricas, y hacer un recorrido bibliográfico sobre la temática que se presenta, el artículo demuestra el potencial transformador de esta intersección. Finalmente, se concluye que el trabajo conjunto de la comunicación decolonial y la ética del cuidado no solo ofrece una perspectiva urgente y necesaria en el campo de la comunicación, sino que también abre nuevas vías para la creación de sociedades más equitativas y pacíficas.
MEDICINAL PLANT EFFLUENTS, A SOURCE OF BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN PROCESSED FOODS
Authors: Dritan Topi  , Josif Risto
Published: September 2024

The water effluents produced from medicinal plants contain several organic molecules, normally categorized as secondary metabolites, and to a lesser extent, they also include primary metabolites. Utilizing plant extracts as a source of bioactive chemicals is especially intriguing in the development of fortified foods, pharmaceutical formulations, and therapeutic and cosmetic preservatives. The essential oil and polyphenol fractions obtained from the phase of the effluents exhibit distinct profiles. The compounds are utilized as dietary supplements to improve human nutrition status, as feed additives in animal feeding, as biocides for plant protection. Previous studies have documented the antimicrobial properties of plant components against different pathogens, namely those that cause foodborne illnesses. Natural antimicrobials play a vital role in food preservation and health management of bacterial infections in humans and farmed crops. More recently, there has been a significant focus on using essential oils and extracted chemicals to inhibit the growth of harmful microbes.
Various phenolics have been empirically shown to possess strong antioxidant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic properties, and are gaining attention in application within cosmetics and medicines. Their substantial significance in the industry underscores the intriguing potential of these water effluents as pharmacologically active components or organic preservatives for the future of natural medicine.

Authors: Linares Bernardo Toledo , Santos Camille Schmal dos , Franco Jenifer Cardoso , Oliveira Adriana Elisa Carcereri de
Published: September 2024

A formação em medicina impõe uma intensa carga horária e conteúdos complexos, desafiando os estudantes a manterem o equilíbrio entre a saúde física e mental. Transtornos como ansiedade, depressão e esgotamento são frequentes, contribuindo para uma maior prevalência de suicídio entre médicos e acadêmicos. Os fatores de risco para o suicídio frequentemente surgem durante o período estudantil, sendo essencial identificá-los para a criação de estratégias preventivas eficazes. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar fatores psicossociais e acadêmicos que aumentam o risco de suicídio entre estudantes de medicina. Para isso, foram analisados estudos de coorte, revisões sistemáticas e ensaios clínicos publicados nos últimos 10 anos na base de dados MedLine, utilizando descritores como “fatores de risco”, “prevenção do suicídio” e “estudantes de medicina”. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, quatro estudos foram incluídos na análise. Os resultados indicam que os estudantes de medicina apresentam taxas mais elevadas de pensamentos e atos suicidas em comparação com as taxas gerais da população. Diversas variáveis, como condições de moradia e suporte familiar, influenciam esses fatores. Estudantes com menos apoio familiar tendem a apresentar maior propensão a comportamentos suicidas, agravada por longas jornadas de estudo, altos níveis de estresse e baixa qualidade do sono. A ansiedade e a depressão, prevalentes nesse grupo, são fatores de risco cruciais. Conclui-se que é fundamental identificar precocemente sinais de ansiedade e depressão entre estudantes e abordar abertamente essas questões no ambiente acadêmico para prevenir desfechos trágicos.

CRITICAL INTERCULTURALITY AS AN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS EXPERIENCES IN AN INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY IN NORTHWEST MEXICO
Authors: González-Machado Emilia Cristina , Santillán-Anguiano Ernesto Israel
Published: September 2024

This article is the result of a pedagogical project in the community of Santa Catarina, in northwestern Mexico. First, we analyze the theoretical implications of interculturality, in particular the concept of critical interculturality. In Latin America, critical interculturality has contributed to decolonial studies, creating a framework for understanding social relations within the framework of Modernity. We epistemically assume that critical interculturality emerges and is nourished by social movements. Critical interculturality is thus defined as an ongoing political project. Secondly, we present the Pa Ipai community of Santa Catarina, describing its historical and social conditions. We assume that as socio-educational researchers we must permanently question our methodology to avoid academic colonialism. Unfortunately, however, this is often reproduced when we consider community members as mere informants. Finally, we outline an overview of the objectives and procedures of the critical intercultural pedagogical project, followed by some reflections on the difficulties and results of said project. This proposal aims to understand interculturality as a process, a work in progress, where other forms of knowledge come into play. By creating a space away from traditional school environments, the backbone of the learning process is to involve students with a plurality of cultural manifestations that bring them closer to an ontological understanding of the other.
DISCOURSE AS A SPEECH-THINKING PLATFORM FOR THE FORMATION THE SYNERGETIC LANGUAGE IMAGERY
Authors: Abdelhameed S. , Alefirenko N. , Nurtazina M. , Amrina Z.
Published: September 2024

The language imagery (LI), according to authors’ concept, owes its origin to the discursive activity of communicants. It means that the motivator and source for generating a LI is discourse, if we understand it not as a speech, but as a special communicative-cognitive category. Discourse due to the plurality of its components is proved to be a speech-thinking platform for the formation of a LI, considered as a synergistic phenomenon in the aspect of a multichannel derivative stimulus and a self-organizing fact in open systems of linguocreative thinking. For the methodological argumentation of such a complicated precedent, special attention is paid to the essential properties of its basic categories, first of all, such as imagery and discourse. Specific examples illustrate the genetic connection between the LI and discourse. It is revealed that the subjectivity of imagery is manifested in its special creativity. In the following presentation, we put forward the idea that the concept of a “communicative event” serves as the basis for understanding the essence of the discursive generation of a LI. It is assumed that a communicative event, unlike a real event, is a discourse-cognitive model of a fragment of a communicatively significant event, which is understood as a cognitive-pragmatic interaction of discourse elements. In this connection, as constituent components of discourse forming LI, are determined: the events themselves, their participants, as well as ‘non-events’ (the circumstances that explain the events and their ethnocultural background). In addition, the evaluative-modus markers of discourse and the concepts that structure it play a constructive role in generating the semantic content of a LI.

It is a common carbon- andenergy-storage compound, degrades into its monomer 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) or D-β-hydroxybutyric acid (DBD)with in the cell under the microaerobic condition. A soilbacterial strain accumulating PHB was isolated andidentified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa by 16S rRNA genesequencing (NCBI accession number MF062071). The organism was subjected to PHB production under varyingfactors to establish the laboratory scale production withsubstrate preferences of economic choice. Among thesubstrates, wheat bran favored a higher PHB production, 0.9 g/l, compared to corn cob powder and coconut husk. The dry cell biomass was also maximum with thesubstrate, wheat bran. Neutral to near neutral pH (7.0) andan ambient temperature (37°C) showed as ideal underaerobic conditions. The PHB accumulated was extracted,purified and was subjected to FT/IR spectroscopy. A majorpeak apart from other peaks and a strong absorption bandat 1651.83cm-1 corresponding to the C=O thioester bondreveal the functional group which confirm the presence of intracellular PHB.

Published: September 2024

This review emphasises the convergence of environmental sustainabiiity and economic feasibility, highlighting the transformative potential of turning agrcultural waste into valueadded products. Even though they are frequently vewed as waste, agricultural residues can be rethought and repurposed through creative methods to produce valuable goods like biofuels, organic fertilisers, and biodegradable rmaten'als. It examines the various uses of agrtuttural waste, an asset that is often disregarded, across a range of industries, with an emphass on the generation of bioelectrt ity, medicinal uses, and the extraction of anti-oxidant and anti-cancer substances. Using cutting-edge technologies to generate bioelectricity from agricultural waste not only solves environmental issues but also provides a sustainable energy source. Concurrently the pharmaceutical industry gains from the separation of bioactive elements from agricultural waste, whch acts as a replenshable supply of antioxidants and possible antitumor agents. This multidisciplinary strategy promotes improvements in pharmaceutical research while both reducing waste and demonstrating the adaptability of agricultural waste in fulfilling energy requrrements. By addressing the issues of waste management, this paradigm shift towards the use of agrowaste also advances the creation of a circular economy. In order to fully reaiise the potenta l of agrowaste and promote a more resourceefficient and sustainable agriculture industry while opening up new opportunities for economic growth that hold promise for major positive ej ects on the environment and human health, the abstract emphasises the significance of continued research, technological advancements, and cooperative initiatives.

Unvoiced Palpitations: Discernment of Protest and Resistance
Authors: Sanny Susan
Published: September 2024

Discernment against womenfolk has been a matter of debate. Caught in an intricate web of the patriarchal world, women face immense hurdles on their way toward the realization of their ambition. An attempt has been made to see how a woman is tutored for a subsidiary role and how her persona is acclimatized into a subordinate role right from her childhood. Living in different circumstances, women suffer a lot at the hands of patriarchy and become victims of authoritarianism, oppression, and suppression which diminish their existence into oblivion. Not only the society but also the kinsfolk consider them inferior in comparison to their male counterparts. The denigrating plight of numerous women to abject poverty, dispossession, and sexual battering corresponds with the impact of industrialization leading to the wreckage and worsening of women's lives on the grounds of sex and class. This paper examines the novel Nectar in a Sieve written by Kamala Markandaya which deals chiefly with the woman's intrinsic and extrinsic role, exposing the myriad acts of discrimination meted out to women and also capturing the stirrings of feminine displeasure against such role constructs.

Published: September 2024

This research investigates the change in performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) firms in India as they make the transition from private to public ownership through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). The study compares the performance of the SME firms before and after going public in the Indian capital market. The performance of SME firms from previous studies has shown a decline on the post-issue operating performance. This study confirms that the same still holds true in context of an emerging economy like India. The study examined 10 Indian IPOs issued on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) from 2012-2022. The study compares the pre-issue financial performance against the post-issue financial performance of the 10 Indian IPOs. To fulfil this, the study adopted a descriptive research design. Descriptive analysis tends to use the mean and standard deviation to measure the stated variables. The study also measures the decline on financial and operating performance through use of globally accepted accounting ratios namely, the return on assets, return on sales, current ratio and fixed asset turnover ratio. The study is comprehensive in nature and provides useful insights for stakeholders working in the Indian financial market. The study concludes by providing relevant roadmap as to what can be done to harness the true potential of public offerings.

Qualitative assessment of individuals at a family health center: Avoidance/refusal of COVID-19 vaccination
Authors: Mazıcıoğlu Mümtaz , Sil Ertan , Nahya Nilüfer , Bilgici Ethem
Published: September 2024

Background. The avoidance or refusal of vaccines is a significant public health problem during the COVID-19 pandemic. This article focuses on vaccine avoidance and refusal among patients at a Family Health Center (FHC). We will attempt to identify and describe the factors that contribute to avoidance and refusal so that new strategies can be developed. Methods. This study was conducted between December 2021 and August 2022. Eight individuals were interviewed with a semi-structured form. The study cite was Turgut Reis FHC Kayseri/Turkey. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. Results. The study identified three main themes and 16 sub-themes based on verbatim notes. The main themes were the level of knowledge regarding COVID-19 and individual and non-individual factors causing COVID-19 vaccine avoidance/refusal. Some of the sub-themes included the reality of the disease, protective measures, concerns about the content and production process of the vaccine, the interaction between chronic disease and COVID-19, and the positive or negative effects of religion and national identity on vaccination. The study demonstrated that concerns about vaccine safety, efficacy, and production, as well as individual preferences, media influence, and mandatory regulations of health care management were the most influential factors in vaccine avoidance/refusal. Conclusions. The sudden onset of COVID-19 resulted in a delayed response from society and health authorities. This delay may be due to distrust of the disease, reluctance to adopt preventive measures, and uncertainty about treatment options. While advanced technology exists, limited public information about the vaccine's effectiveness and production processes could be contributing to this reaction.
A phenomenological study of mathematics in the world: discriminate learning experience, impressions and actual encounters of students
Authors: Verdeflor Richard N.
Published: September 2024

Mathematics in the Modern World had become one of the subjects that undergraduates took in that was believed to be very useful in everyday living. However, some still perceived it as a boring, and hard subject to take. This study had used the phenomenology in which it allowed the researchers to examine, and discover Mathematics in the Modern World through the perspective of the students. The study utilizes an open-ended question centered on the detail of “what it was like to learn or teach Mathematics in the Modern World. The nature of the question being open-ended is to draw a wide range of responses in which one can verbally describe the experience. From this question and the tacit knowledge of the researcher, follow up questions were made to elucidate and even model the experience if necessary. The instrument was pilot tested and undergone pilot analysis to assure that it is sufficient to draw the essence of the phenomenon. Student participants from Northern Samar State University were randomly selected from a roster of students in the following substratum (a) those who failed in the course, (b) students with grade ranging from 3.0 to 2.6, (c) students with grades ranging from 2.5 to 2.0 and (d) those with grades from 1.9 to 1.0 distributed across the four colleges of the university. Responses were later on transcribed and analyzed using the MaxQDA. Findings was that positive views of students towards the subject provides for a connection to the feeling of belongingness in the class activities. The course was also described to be “easy” which translates to the appreciation to the course, to change in perception – the mitigation of the sigma that is math, and to the attitudinal levels of impact such as efficacy and sense of responsibility.

Authors: Lawati Tasneem Al , Rana Asif Mehmood , Sohail Asia , Haq Anwar ul
Published: September 2024

Supply chain management (SCM) has become increasingly popular in recent years, during difficult businesse operations various stakeholders, including management, clients, competitors, NGOs, and employees face environmental issues seriously. Aims of study to integrate environmental considerations into all stages of the supply chain process. Effective management of a complex network of suppliers is crucial to reducing a company's environmental impact, as GSCM seeks to integrate environmental management (EM) and SCM. GSCM practices may be adopted for internal reasons, such as strategy processes, or external reasons, such as stakeholder pressure. This fundamental principle of GSCM is that environmental considerations should be integrated throughout the SCM process, from initial design through material selection, production, distribution, and disposal. This research aims to examine the association between GSCM (GSCM) practices and organizational performance. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, utilizing both primary and secondary data. The findings suggest that GSCM practices have a negative correlation with organizational performance. The study also found a statistically significant link between GSCM practices and business success, as well as organizational performance. However, the impact of GSCM practices on organizational performance may not be as substantial as previously believed, as it did not have a significant effect on other aspects of organizational performance.

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally transformed consumer behavior on a global scale, and Bangladesh is no exception. The pandemic caused extraordinary disruptions in daily life, forcing consumers to rapidly adjust to a new normal characterized by lockdowns, social isolation, and limitations on physical mobility. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) brings greater changes in the consumer decision-making process across the globe. Factors affecting consumers’ electronic shopping (e-shopping) decisions may vary between pre and during the COVID-19 situation. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the determinants of electronic shopping decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of Bangladesh, along with the role of consumers’ psychology as a mediator. Quantitative type research was applied, and the study used a descriptive research design. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect 543 data points from Bangladeshi consumers using an online purposive sampling method. A partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was used to evaluate the data and test the hypotheses. The results of the PLS-SEM method showed that electronic shopping decisions were significantly associated with consumers’ psychology, governmental, health, product, and payment factors. The results also revealed that consumers’ psychology significantly and positively mediates the relationship between three determinants (e.g., governmental, social, and product aspects) and electronic shopping decisions. The research recommends that managers, policymakers, and practitioners should provide special attention to the significant determinants of electronic shopping decisions and formulate relevant strategies to address the changes in consumer behavior brought by coronavirus disease.

Estimating the number of latent factors underlying a set of dichotomous items is a major challenge in social and behavioral research. Mokken scale analysis (MSA) and exploratory graph analysis (EGA) are approaches for partitioning measures consisting of dichotomous items. In this study we perform simulation-based comparisons of two EGA methods (EGA with graphical least absolute shrinkage and selector operator; EGAtmfg with triangulated maximally filtered graph algorithm), two MSA methods (AISP: automated item selection procedure; GA: genetic algorithm), and two widely used factor analytic techniques (parallel analysis with principal component analysis (PApc) and parallel analysis with principal axis factoring (PApaf)) for partitioning dichotomous items. Performance of the six methods differed significantly according to the data structure. AISP and PApc had highest accuracy and lowest bias for unidimensional structures. Moreover, AISP demonstrated the lowest rate of misclassification of items. Regarding multidimensional structures, EGA with GLASSO estimation and PApaf yielded highest accuracy and lowest bias, followed by EGAtmfg. In addition, both EGA techniques exhibited the lowest rate of misclassification of items to factors. In summary, EGA and EGAtmfg showed comparable performance to the highly accurate traditional method, parallel analysis. These findings offer guidance on selecting methods for dimensionality analysis with dichotomous indicators to optimize accuracy in factor identification.
Earlier Diagnosis the Myocardial Infarction of Older Patients by Troponin Test
Authors: Riadh Hnewa
Published: September 2024

Background: Finding elevations or decreases in cardiac troponin (cTn) is crucial for the early diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI). Myocardial necrosis is indicated by cardiac troponins. They are the favored due to their strong cardiac selectivity. Biomarker to detect instances of MI. Techniques: Seventy older people between the ages of 55 and 75 were involved in a prospective comparison study that took place between January 2021 and December 2023. They were split up into two groups: the first group consisted of 70 patients, while the second group contained 50 healthy people as a control group. Results: Sensitive troponin I testing significantly improved the diagnosis of myocardial infarction in women (from 12% to 23%; P < 0.001) but had little effect on males (from 21% to 23%; P = 0.002). P < 0.05 was less likely in women than in men for both coronary artery revascularization and cardiologist referral. Women with unexplained increases in troponin concentration (16–48 ng/L) and those with myocardial infarction (≥55 ng/L) had higher rates of death or re-infarction at 24 months (26%, 28%, and 6%, respectively; P < 0.001), as compared to women without myocardial infarction (≤18 ng/L). Conclusion: elevated sensitivity a sex-specific diagnostic beginning for the troponin assay might binary the identification of myocardial infarction in women and recognize those who are most vulnerable to reinfarction and demise. Whether applying sex-specific analytic thresholds will enhance results and address issues, even though they don't really affect males disparities in how women are treated who may have care for acute coronary syndrome must be given immediately.

Formalisation et fonctions de l’éthique des entreprises multinationales : une approche par les dispositifs
Authors: ASSHIDI Hamza
Published: September 2024

Ethics has become a must for multinational companies which are increasingly dedicating tools to this subject however its contours remain too poorly defined. We explore the nature and functions of ethical tools (code of conduct, values and training), through a multiple case study of 19 multinationals including 30 interviews and secondary data analysed on Nvivo (Gioia, 2021). To be effective and virtuously guide employee behaviour, these ethical tools must be seen as management instruments, articulated in highly formalised, internationally uniform multi-instrument ethical arrangements. A poorly formalised ethics system is more likely to serve the purpose of anticipating and managing legal or image risks, rather than guiding behaviour in a more ethical direction.

Unregistered marriages in islamic law: Ensuring children's rights amidst legal validity
Authors: Sarkanto  , Fouad Larhzizar
Published: September 2024

This study aims to analyze the validity of Unregistered marriages from the perspective of Islamic law and its impact on children's rights, focusing on the decision of the Singaraja Religious Court Number 17/Pdt.P/2024/PA.Sgr. Unregistered marriages, although valid in Islam, are not legally recognized by the state without official registration. This has various legal implications, especially for children's rights. Children from serial marriages often do not get alimony rights, inheritance rights, and official identity recognition. This study uses a normative legal approach with descriptive analysis to explore the phenomenon of Unregistered marriages and its impact on children's rights from the perspective of Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia. The study results show that the court's determination of a child's origin provides a legal and recognized status, allowing access to rights such as education, health, and inheritance. Awareness of married couples and policy support from the government is needed to protect children's rights and ensure better legal certainty.
