Published: June 2024

On September 5–8, 2023, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) held the second Standards and Performance Metrics for On‐Road Automated Vehicles Workshop. This four‐day virtual event provided updates on NIST’s recent work in automated vehicles (AVs) and gave stakeholders an opportunity to provide feedback and input on current and future NIST research. The workshop included high‐level keynote presentations, a series of industry keynote presentations, and NIST presentations on its current AV activities. The industry keynotes and NIST presentations were paired with breakout sessions that discussed NIST’s progress, community challenges, and stakeholder research needs in six key areas: systems interaction, perception, cybersecurity, communications, artificial intelligence, and digital infrastructure. There was general agreement that developing standards allows for better comparisons and evaluations of emerging technologies. Other key themes included: 1) Digital technologies for automation and related security/privacy concerns, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and smart communication technologies (i.e., vehicle‐to‐vehicle (V2V), vehicle‐to‐infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle‐to‐everything (V2X)), 2) Need for standardized or common language to improve information sharing, 3) Open data sets to support and validate technical advances and standardization across system components and areas (i.e., standards evolving in parallel with technology), and 4) Pivotal role for NIST as a convener to bring diverse stakeholders together for knowledge exchange and cross‐industry dialogue.

Published: June 2024

This study empirically examined the impact of the privatization of the electricity industry on electricity service delivery in the Lokoja metropolis by Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC). Data for the study were elicited from copies of structured questionnaire administered to 400 (four hundred) residential electricity consumers in the Lokoja metropolis via the cluster sampling technique. Data were analyzed using simple percentages, frequency distribution tables and the mean (x) score respectively. The rational choice theory which provides insight into how the vested interests of Nigeria’s ruling class compromised the privatization process of the Nation’s electricity industry constituted the theoretical foundation of the study. Findings revealed, among other things, that the privatization of the electricity industry in Nigeria has not translated to significant improvement in power supply in the Lokoja metropolis and that electricity billing is not a fair reflection of the electricity consumption rate in the metropolis. To this end, the study concluded that the privatization of Nigeria’s electricity industry has not impacted positively on electricity service delivery in the Lokoja metropolis. Consequently, the study recommended, amongst others, that the Nigerian government should put in place measures to attract globally reputable electricity utility companies to invest in the Nation’s electricity industry and prepaid metering as against estimated billing should be the sole criterion for determining electricity consumers' tariff in the country.

"Introduction: In this study, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of a novel physical therapy intervention in managing chronic pain associated with pediatric static vertebral disorders. Methods and materials: The investigation encompassed both clinical variables, such as pain perception measured by a visual analog scale (VAS), and morpho-functional variables related to developmental level and spinal status: weight (W, kg), height (H, cm), body mass index (BMI), scapular/shoulder asymmetry (SA, cm), thoracolumbar fold asymmetry (TFA, cm), sacral dimples asymmetry (SDA, cm), intergluteal cleft deviation (ICD, cm), scoliosis measurement (SM, cm), right lumbar lateral flexion (RLLF, cm), left lumbar lateral flexion (LLLF, cm), and Cobb angle. The study involved a cohort of 48 subjects, aged between 8 and 12 years, who were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group underwent a six-month physical therapy-based rehabilitation program, while the control group did not receive any intervention during this period. Both groups underwent clinical and morpho-functional evaluations before and after the intervention. The analysis, conducted through a two-way repeated measures ANOVA, intended to explore the interaction between group and time of assessment on each dependent variable. Results: The results revealed significant differences in several variables (VAS scores, SA, TFA, SDA, ICD, SM, RLLF, LLLF, and Cobb angle) between the experimental and control groups (p ≤ 0.02), suggesting a discernible impact of the intervention on physiological and functional parameters related to spinal deformities and chronic pain management. Discussion: The intervention applied to the experimental group produced significant changes in key variables relevant for clinical assessment and morpho-functional analysis, indicating its notable impact on physiological and functional parameters. Conclusions: This study underscores the significant effect of tailored physical therapy interventions in mitigating chronic pain and improving morpho-functional aspects in pediatric spinal deformities."

Published: June 2024

Using a number of photographs from various records (private archives, the press, discarded photographs) and the recollections of the inhabitants of Bęsia (Olsztyn county), the author examines unusual depictions of the daily life of employees working at the state farms (known as PGRs), for whom the palace-state farm was of great importance. The inhabiting, settling, or “reclaiming” processes observed in this Warmian village took place in the realm of what was East Prussian, post-German, and formerly manorial, while simultaneously going against both the grange and state farm (official) scripts of palace use. The case study of the palace-state farm in Bęsia is also a contribution to the study of the history of potential state farms, as understood by Ariella Aïsha Azoulay.

Authors: Salma Syakira Kineisha , Firdaus Nur Sa’adah , Suryanti Nyulistiowati , Yuanitasari Deviana
Published: June 2024

The enactment of the Job Creation Law affects the provisions of Limited Liability Companies. The mechanism for establishing an Individual Company which is explained implicitly in the Company Law and the Job Creation Law raises issues related to the process of organ responsibility in an Individual Company which states that directors can concurrently hold positions as shareholders and vice versa. One of the problems of the presence of Individual Companies in MSEs in Indonesia is the birth of Alter Ego conditions. The solution to limit the unlimited liability of corporate organs is that the government needs to strengthen and reinforce the doctrine of Piercing the Corporate Veil for Individual Companies and provide legal certainty regarding the regulation of corporate organs in the Company Law and Government Regulation No. 8 of 2021. This article examines the existence of individual companies in the context of micro and small businesses in Indonesia. The focus of the analysis lies on the concept of the alter ego doctrine which often becomes a problem in business practice. This research utilizes a document analysis approach and literature study to explore the legal and practical implications of the alter ego doctrine on individual companies in Indonesia. The analysis shows that the alter ego doctrine has a significant impact on the personal liability of micro and small business owners. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of business regulation and legal protection for micro and small business owners in Indonesia.
Analysis of The Impact and Dynamics of Gratification In The Practice of State Administrative Law
Authors: Irawan Taufik , Yanto Yanto
Published: June 2024

The practice of gratification, which involves receiving rewards or gifts by state administrative officials, can undermine the foundations of good governance principles. The implications of gratification practices can damage the government's image, reduce public trust, and affect the effectiveness of public policy. This phenomenon creates challenges in various aspects, including public ethics, public trust, and the effectiveness of legal institutions. Apart from that, the dynamics of gratification can also penetrate the administrative decision-making process. Objective considerations in decision making can be disturbed by the influence of gratification, resulting in policies that are not in line with the public interest. This opens up gaps in inequality in public services and inefficient use of public resources. The high complexity of this problem requires an in-depth understanding of the dynamics of gratification in the practice of State Administrative Law. Especially solutions to overcome the problems of awareness and ethics of state administration administrators, internal and external supervision of perpetrators of gratification, environmental conditions of work organizations and active participation from various stakeholders to prevent and eradicate can involve various parties, especially law enforcement officials, the media and the public to proactively reveal , urge and report behavior that leads to gratification. This article explores the phenomenon of gratification in the context of state administrative law practice. Through in-depth analysis, we explain the dynamics behind gratification, its impact on the effectiveness of the state's administrative legal system, and efforts that can be made to overcome this problem. Our research concludes that a deep understanding of gratification is critical to enhancing the integrity and credibility of the country's administrative legal system.

Authors: Rachmawati Niken , Hamzah Imaduddin
Published: June 2024

One of the challenges in the correctional system is the negative stigma associated with clients and released inmates, making it difficult for inmates to integrate positively into society. Until now, there has been no method to assess the extent of the community's attitudes towards released or parolee inmates in a specific region. This research aims to test the validity and reliability of the Attitudes Towards Prisoners (ATP) scale in the Indonesian language. Developed by Melvin, the ATP scale has been validated and demonstrated good trial reliability, with excellent consistency when tested in various countries. The adaptation of this instrument involved steps such as Forward-Backward Translation, instrument panel testing based on translation results, instrument revisions, content validity, back translation, instrument approval, data collection, and instrument reliability. For testing the validity and reliability, the scale was distributed online using Google Forms to 224 respondents, including correctional groups, students, the general public, and correctional officers. The results of the ATP scale's validity test found that 35 items were valid, while 1 item was not valid, with a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.917. The findings of this study recommend the use of the ATP as a supporting instrument in assessing the community's attitudes towards released inmates and further research in the field of inmate integration.

One of the main physiological processes occurring during the pre-election period is the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. Glycogen stores are depleted as embryos hatch. The lack of glycogen causes the embryo to mobilize more muscle protein for gluconeogenesis, thereby slowing down early growth and development until glycogen stores begin to replenish when the newly hatched chick does not get full access to feed

Minimum 150 and maximum 250 words..      Psoriasis is a multisystem inflammatory disease with predominantly skin and joint involvement. Beyond the physical dimensions of disease, psoriasis has an extensive emotional and psychosocial effect on patients, affecting social functioning and interpersonal relationships. As a disease of systemic inflammation, psoriasis is associated with multiple comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease and malignancy. The diagnosis is primarily clinical and a skin biopsy is seldom required. Depending on the severity of disease, appropriate treatment can be initiated. For mild to moderate disease, first-line treatment involves topical therapies including corticosteroids, vitamin D3 analogues, and combination products. These topical treatments are efficacious and can be safely initiated and prescribed by primary care physicians. Patients with more severe and refractory symptoms might require further evaluation by a dermatologist for systemic therapy .Psoriasis is a chronic, noncommunicable, painful, disfiguring and disabling disease for which there is no  cure and with great negative impact on patients’ quality of life . It can occur at any age. The etiology of psoriasis remains unclear.  Psoriasis can also be provoked by external and internal triggers, including mild trauma,  sunburn, infections, systemic drugs and stress . Psoriasis involves the skin and nails, and is associated with a number of comorbidities. Skin lesions are  localized or generalized, mostly symmetrical, sharply demarcated, red papules and plaques, and usually  covered with white or silver scales. Lesions cause itching, stinging and pain. Individuals with psoriasis are reported to be at increased risk of developing other  serious clinical conditions such as cardiovascular and other noncommunicable diseases . Psoriasis causes great physical, emotional and social burden . Disfiguration, disability and marked loss of productivity are common challenges for  people with psoriasis. Topical and systemic therapies as well  as phototherapy are available.

Background: Dysmenorrhea, the cramping pain experienced by women during menstruation, can significantly impact their daily lives and academic performance. Mental stress is a potential trigger for dysmenorrhea, but their association remains to be precisely determined. This study aims to explore the prevalence of dysmenorrhea among undergraduate female students at Universal College of Medical Sciences and investigate its association with perceived stress.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate female students at Universal College of Medical Sciences, Bhairahawa. Participants were selected using a simple random sampling method. A structured questionnaire, including anthropometric data, menstrual history, and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), were used for data collection. PSS scores were used to categorize stress levels as low, moderate, or high.Results: Total 196 female students participated in the study. Dysmenorrhea was present in 80.1% of the participants, with 34.7% seeking treatment for the condition. Additionally, 29.6% of the students reported moderate to severe premenstrual symptoms. Most students (81.6%) had a moderate level of perceived stress. Statistical analysis revealed a significant association between dysmenorrhea and level of perceived stress (p < 0.001).Conclusion: The study findings highlight a considerable prevalence of dysmenorrhea among female students at Universal College. The association between dysmenorrhea and perceived stress underscores the importance of addressing the psychosocial well-being of these students. Implementing supportive measures, such as mental health support and stress management programs, can create a more conducive environment for students to manage dysmenorrhea and its impact on their academic performance.

Objective: The objective of this study was to design a human resource productivity model for the Deaf Sports Federation using a combined Delphi-Fuzzy and Interpretive Structural Modeling approach. Methods and Materials: The methodology of this research was mixed (qualitative and quantitative). Participants included managers and officials of committees within the Deaf Sports Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran and elites in deaf sports, including coaches, referees, and athletes. The selection of these individuals was purposeful, based on criteria of expertise and experience, representation, diversity, and cooperation potential, with 18 individuals chosen. Data collection tools were a 41-question questionnaire and a 17x17 dimensional matrix, both validated for reliability and validity. Data analysis was conducted using Delphi-Fuzzy and subsequently Interpretive Structural Modeling. It is noteworthy that for these analyses, Excel macros and the SmartISM web program were utilized respectively. Results: Findings identified 17 determinant factors related to human resource productivity in the Deaf Sports Federation, which were categorized into five levels based on interpretive structural analysis, forming a hierarchical relationship model that indicates the fundamental factors in optimizing human resources in the Deaf Sports Federation are the alignment of authority-responsibility and organizational culture, which ultimately lead to an individual’s perception of their role. Conclusions: Accordingly, in planning to enhance human resource productivity in the Deaf Sports Federation, the initial step should involve establishing a balance of authority-responsibility and promoting values that assist employees in understanding their roles.

Objective: One of the most painful experiences in the collapse of romantic relationships is the experience of love trauma. The objective of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of emotion-focused therapy (EFT) on love trauma syndrome and symptoms of depression and anxiety in young women with experiences of emotional breakup. Methods and Materials: This study employed an applied quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all women aged 20-35 who visited counseling centers in Amol in 2022. The sample consisted of 40 women from the statistical population of Amol, who were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two groups: the emotion-focused therapy group (n=20) and the control group (n=20). Data were collected using the Ross Love Trauma Inventory (1999), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) (1996). The sessions of emotion-focused therapy by Greenberg et al. (2008) were conducted in 12 weekly 90-minute sessions. Data were analyzed using repeated measures and SPSS-26 software. Findings: The results indicated that emotion-focused therapy was effective on anxiety (F = 18.410), depression (F = 41.531), and love trauma syndrome (F = 74.597) in young women with experiences of emotional breakup. Therefore, it can be concluded that emotion-focused therapy was effective on anxiety (F = 18.410), depression (F = 41.531), and love trauma syndrome (F = 74.597) in young women with experiences of emotional breakup. Conclusion: It can be concluded that emotion-focused therapy was effective on love trauma syndrome and symptoms of depression and anxiety in young women with experiences of emotional breakup.

Objective: AIDS, or Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, is a chronic and widespread disease that, with its high mortality rate, is distinctly different from other diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) on self-efficacy and emotion regulation in HIV-positive patients. Methods and Materials: In a quasi-experimental method with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design with a control group, 30 HIV-positive patients receiving treatment at the Imam Khomeini Hospital in Tehran were non-randomly and conveniently selected and then randomly assigned to two groups (experimental and control groups, 15 patients each). Prior to the commencement of therapeutic interventions, participants from both groups completed the Sherer Self-Efficacy Scale (1982) and the Gratz and Roemer Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (2004). The experimental group underwent 12 sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy, whereas the control group did not receive any intervention during this period. Both groups were post-tested, and after a three-month period, they completed the research questionnaires again (three-month follow-up). The research data were analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance and SPSS.22 software. Findings: The results indicated that cognitive-behavioral therapy significantly improved self-efficacy (F=59.45, P<0.001) and emotion regulation (F=144.42, P<0.001) in HIV-positive patients. Conclusion: It can be concluded that cognitive-behavioral therapy can lead to improvements in self-efficacy and emotion regulation in HIV-positive patients.
