Cognitive intelligence, often quantified as intelligence quotient (IQ), encompasses a range of mental capabilities including reasoning, problem-solving, and abstract thinking, which are critical for academic success. This study investigates the intricate relationship between IQ and academic performance, particularly among Grade 7 students in the School Year 2023-2024. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive research design, the study analyzed the academic records and admission test results of 199 students, employing the OLSAT Level F as a standardized measure of cognitive ability. The findings indicate a concerning trend, with a majority of students scoring below average on the OLSAT, highlighting significant areas for academic improvement. Furthermore, a notable correlation was observed between school type, general academic averages, and academic awards with OLSAT scores, suggesting that the educational environment and recognition of achievements significantly influence student performance. Interestingly, no significant differences in academic outcomes based on gender were found, emphasizing the need for equitable educational opportunities. The study recommends targeted interventions to support students struggling academically, focusing on enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Additionally, a comprehensive review of educational policies and practices is necessary to foster a nurturing learning environment for all students. By addressing these areas, educators and policymakers can work towards improving academic outcomes and ensuring that all students reach their full potential.

Published: September 2024

Dermatological issues pose a frequent challenge for small clinical practitioners, presenting a spectrum of conditions encompassing otitis, pyoderma, anal sac problems, flea allergy, and atopic dermatitis (AD). Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and recurring skin condition characterized by distributed skin lesions. In recent decades, researchers have shown a keen interest in AD due to its increased prevalence in developed countries. While various treatment strategies, including biological and immune modulators, are available for AD, each has certain limitations. Researchers have exhibited a significant interest in managing AD with herbal medicines. The use of herbal drugs for AD could potentially eliminate local and systemic adverse effects associated with long-term corticosteroid use, as well as reduce the high cost of therapy with biological drugs. This review discusses traditional East Asian herbal medicines as well as scientific data related to newer herbal extracts or compositions for the treatment of AD. The paper also delves into in vivo animal models and in vitro cell cultures that have been investigated with herbal medicines to establish a potential role in the treatment of AD. In conclusion, herbal medicines could serve as a better and safer complementary and alternative treatment option for AD.

The development of internet users in Indonesia continues to increase over time, this makes customers comfortable with digital transactions. Trinusa Travelindo Company or better known as Traveloka, which is engaged in the online travel agent sector, has proven its extraordinary achievement, namely becoming the E-tourism application that is ranked 1st most visited by the Indonesian people in 2022. However, these results are also directly proportional to the number of negative reviews created in the application review itself. This study aims to identify what issues affect customer satisfaction with topic modelling. This study uses the text mining method derived from the results of Traveloka application user reviews. The data source obtained in this study is secondary data by using the Traveloka application review data crawling technique with samples from January to May. Based on sentiment analysis, positive sentiment is more dominant (50.38%) compared to negative sentiment (49.62%). User reviews are grouped based on the results of sentiment analysis, then Topic Modelling is carried out to find out what issues affect customer satisfaction. The topic modelling of the data used is Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) with the help of phyton 6.3. to find out what words and topics often appear or as factors that influence customer satisfaction. The most influential negative issues include the refund and payment process, pay later services, and the ordering experience which is considered complicated. On the other hand, issues that contribute positively to customer satisfaction include product quality, service quality, and promos and discounts. This is reinforced by the results of topic modelling which show that these aspects are often the main concerns in user reviews on the Google Play store. Thus, this study suggests that in order to increase customer satisfaction, Traveloka needs to focus on improving the quality of service, products, and offering more attractive promos, while simplifying the refund process and ordering experience in the application, some still say it is complicated.

Background: Compartment syndrome is an orthopedic emergency caused by increased intra-compartmental pressure, leading to tissue oxygenation disruption and potentially resulting in tissue death. The rapid progression of this condition requires immediate diagnosis, primarily based on clinical examination results. Early management has been associated with improved outcomes and limb functionality. Case Report: We report an 8-year-old girl who presented with complaints of pain and tingling in her left forearm since falling three weeks prior, with a history of traditional massage therapy or sangkal putung. Clinical examination revealed multiple dark red blisters, edema, and erythema. X-rays showed a Monteggia fracture. The patient was diagnosed with compartment syndrome and a Monteggia fracture and immediately underwent surgery for fasciotomy accompanied by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Conclusion: Compartment syndrome is a condition that poses risks to limbs and life. Diagnosis is primarily based on clinical examination, and immediate management can improve outcomes. Compartment syndrome should be addressed before managing any accompanying conditions.

Aedes aegypti is the primary vector that causes dengue virus (DENV) infection. Ae. aegypti resistance to abate (Temephos) has occurred in Indonesia and several other countries. Innovations are needed to develop alternative ingredients that can be used as natural larvacides. The Plumeria acuminate L. is an Indonesian plant with metabolites that have the potential to act as larvicides. This study aims to determine the potential combination of ethanol extract of P. acuminate L. leaves and flowers as a larvicide for A. aegypti. A laboratory experimental study with a post-test-only control group design was carried out on Ae. aegypti larvae instar III. The larvicide test was carried out according to WHO standards in 2005 with concentrations of 10000, 7500, 5000, and 2500 ppm, as well as control (water and 1% DMSO), with 20 larvae for each concentration. The observation was carried out at the 24th and 48th hours with 3 repetitions. Larval mortality data was analyzed using one-way ANOVA statistical tests to determine significant differences and lethal concentrations (LC50 and LC90) were calculated using probit analysis using SPSS software. The mortality of Ae. aegypti larvae due to the administration of a combined ethanolic extract of P. acuminate L. leaves and flowers was the highest at doses of 10000 and 7500 ppm, which was 100% with lethal concentrations of LC50 and LC90 of 3364.715 and 6293.759 ppm at the 24th hour observation, whereas at the 48th-hour observation, lethal concentrations were detected at 1767.998 and 2941.138 ppm, respectively. One-way ANOVA analysis test showed a significant difference in Ae. aegypti larval mortality due to the administration of a combined ethanol extract of P. acuminate L. leaves and flowers at 24th-hour observation (p = 0.000) and (p = 0.013) at 48th hour observation. The combination of ethanol extract of P. acuminate L. leaves and flowers showed larvicidal activity against Ae. aegypti larvae as evidenced by larvae mortality which were influenced by concentration and observation time.

Despite the rise in beekeeping and honey production in Nepal over the years, research on this topic remains limited. To address this gap, a study titled "Economics of Production and Marketing of Honey in Chitwan District of Nepal" was conducted from July to August 2023. This research aimed to assess the economic and marketing conditions of honey production across several municipalities, namely Kalika, Rapti, Khairahani, Ratnanagar, and Bharatpur Metropolitan City, in the Chitwan district. Primary data were collected from 115 registered Apis mellifera beekeepers who had been engaged in beekeeping for more than five years, as well as from 25 marketing intermediaries, using a simple random sampling technique. Data collection involved semi-structured questionnaires for primary data and relevant publications for secondary data. Descriptive and statistical analyses were performed using MS Excel. Results indicated that of the total households surveyed, 90 percent of respondents were male, while 10 percent were female. The average number of beehives per household was 95.84, with honey productivity averaging 24 kg per hive. The benefit-cost ratio was 1.56, with an average production cost per hive of NRs. 6,061.78, a gross return of NRs. 9,479.22, a gross margin of NRs. 6,200.78, and a net margin of NRs. 3,417.44 per hive. Key challenges identified included limited foraging areas for production and intense competition from foreign honey products in the market.

Dalam Pendidikan Islam, analisis terhadap lingkungan internal dan eksternal merupakan langkah utama dalam penyusunan perencanaan strategis. Secara umum perencanaan strategis terdiri atas tiga langkah: formulasi strategi, implementasi strategi, dan evaluasi strategi. Formulasi strategi termasuk mengembangkan visi dan misi, mengidentifikasi peluang dan ancaman eksternal organisasi, menentukan kekuatan dan kelemahan internal organisasi, menetapkan tujuan jangka panjang, merumuskan alternatif strategi, dan memilih strategi tertentu yang akan dilaksanakan. Suasana (climate) dan lingkungan (environment) adalah komponen yang kritis dalam perumusan tujuan organisasi, sehingga perbaikan organisasi membutuhkan semua informasi yang relevan menuju tercapainya mutu perguruan tinggi. Dengan budaya organisasi yang baik, organisasi akan jauh berkembang dibandingkan dengan organisasi dengan budaya yang lemah. Analisis terhadap lingkungan internal dan eksternal yang mengintegrasikan antara budaya dan tugas utama organisasi ini memerlukan proses pembelajaran yang meliputi pengembangan kemampuan dalam transformasi budaya dan transformasi pada perguruan tinggi.

The objective of this study was to obtain consensus and expert opinions on the criteria for addressing mental health issues within the Muslim community. This study utilizes the Fuzzy Delphi approach, employing a 7-point Likert scale to gather views from 7 experts across different sectors in Malaysia. Experts were given a questionnaire consisting of 20 items for evaluation. The Fuzzy Delphi approach was employed for data analysis. The data were analyzed using triangular fuzzy numbering, which involves assigning triangular fuzzy numbers to each variable. The position or ranking of each variable is then established using the defuzzification procedure. The findings indicate that the reaction and expert consensus on the guidelines for addressing mental health issues within the Muslim community are satisfactory. The expert consensus agreement is above 75% regarding overall findings, the threshold value (d) is less than 0.2, and an α-cut exceeds 0.5. The priority guidelines aspects were arranged based on their level of importance and were further improved by incorporating and removing items as suggested by experts.

Social media network platforms have been widely accepted in Africa. Many policymakers argue that social media is a retarding factor of development dynamics of countries. Countries have developed ambiguous security reasons to ban and suppress social media accessibility. This paper seeks to examine how social media gears and steers the transactional behavior of consumers. Social media has a unique influence on the various stages of commodity transactions and the decision-making process. The prompt aim of the study is to explore the influence of social media on the purchase and interactive decisions of Ghanaian consumers. The study uses quantitative data analysis method to analyze survey data to achieve the objectives of this study. Overall, social media has a significant influence on consumer behavior in Ghana, particularly higher in the areas of information and commodity search as well as post-purchase decisions than in real-time purchase decisions.

The study sought to evaluate the secondary school principals’ preparedness on implementation of competency- based education in Tigania West Sub County. The objectives of the study were to find out ways principals’ ensured stability of school human resource in readiness to implementing competency-based curriculum education; establish the school initiatives undertaken by principals in readiness to implementing competency-based curriculum education and assess the principals’ leadership styles exercised during the implementation process in readiness to competency-based curriculum education. The study used descriptive survey design and targeted a population of 867 participants comprising of 51 principals, 255 HoDs, 510 teachers, and 51 parents in the study area. Using stratified sampling technique based on Yamene sample size tables, this yielded sub samples of 10 principals, 30 HoDs, 60 teachers and 10 parents. The study instruments were questionnaires, and interviews. Quantitative and qualitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and statistical packages for social sciences version 20.0 respectively. A response rate of 98.5% was achieved. The major findings of the study showed that; 80 % of the principals supported both teaching and non-teaching staff by facilitating them to attend to relevant workshops and seminars, being sensitive to individual needs, organizing separate joint retreats and educational trips for each category. A44.7% of the secondary school principals employed democratic leadership styles during preparation for CBC implementation. 21.3% of the principals engaged networking and linkages processes for school to create network with local NGOs and agencies to provide the required learning resources in readiness for CBC. Further, 90% of the parents lamented high additional costs they incurred in preparation to CBC. The study concluded that most of the school were on high gear preparing for implementation of CBC despite the changes of acquiring the requisite resources. The study recommended for a harmonized way of mobilizing resources within the constituencies via the elected leaders offices so as not to leave behind some secondary school.
A Critique of Marvin G. Weinbaum's Review of "The Decline and Fall of Republican Afghanistan Book"
Authors: Gulrani Abdul Wahid
Published: September 2024

This paper examines Marvin G. Weinbaum's critique of "The Decline and Fall of Republican Afghanistan" by Ahmad Shuja Jamal and William Maley. Weinbaum's review, published in the Middle East Journal, offers a comprehensive analysis of the book's structure, strengths, and weaknesses. While Weinbaum effectively highlights the book's deep analysis, historical context, and scholarly rigor, this critique identifies several areas where his review could be further strengthened. These include a more critical examination of the sources used, a deeper exploration of the political and social impacts, a sociological analysis of Afghanistan's twenty-year war, and a comprehensive analysis of the authors' methodology. Additionally, this article addresses significant discussions such as the lack of localization in content, the process of Afghanistan's revitalization, and the impact of Pashtunism on the country's political and social dynamics. By incorporating these perspectives, the critique aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to the fall of Republican Afghanistan and the complexities surrounding its recent history.
Study of Dependence of the Energy of the Field in Weakly Conductive Fiberlight-Guide with Gradient Refractive Index Profile Without Regard to Polarization
Authors: Vlasenko Victor D. , Gladkikh Vyacheslav A.
Published: September 2024

A round-in-cross-section weakly guiding fiber optic light guide is considered. The system of Maxwellian equations for electrically conductive transparent media without due regard to polarization with an index of refraction in the case under consideration is reduced to the homogeneous Helmholtz equation, a particular solution of which is found using the Green's function. For a unimodalmode a common decision was obtained for the field and energy inside the fiber in the general case of a gradient refractive index profile depending on the radial coordinate. The concept of normalized energy is introduced as the ratio of the energy inside a fiber with gradient refractive index profile to the energy inside a fiber with a step-index profile. Since in a single-mode regime the zero-order Bessel function, which describes the field inside a step-index profile fiber, can be replaced by a Gaussoid, then, when extending this replacement to the case of a single-mode gradient fiber, as a first approximation we shall obtain a finite expression for the normalized energy for a general gradient profile. The dependences of the normalized energy on the waveguide number were obtained for each of the degrees from the first to the fourth inclusive. It is shown that in the considered approximation, the energy increases up to a certain parameter values (for the first degree – a triangle profile) or slowly decreases (other profiles), after this value the energy increases for all profiles. The results obtained will help to select a suitable single-mode fiber for practical application.
