Published: June 2024

Several regions in Indonesia such as Aceh, Central Sulawesi, NTB and Maluku have experienced conflict situations with ethnic, religious, racial and inter-group backgrounds. This background carries the risk of conflict triggering acts of violence-based extremism and radicalism which of course have an impact on the development of children born and growing up in conflict areas. Extremist behavior that leads to radical actions and acts of terror involving children has occurred in Indonesia in cases of family suicide bombings. Effective interventions are needed to control the potential for radicalization in children. This research uses a qualitative approach using data collection methods through literature studies to understand and detail the dynamics related to children involved in radicalism and violent extremism, especially in the context of acts of terrorism in Indonesia. Data from literature studies are used to analyze the role of family, environment and education in building children's resilience against the threat of radicalism. Through a qualitative approach, this research explores the practice of social control modes, the role of Restorative Justice (RJ), and its implications. Analysis of the classification of children involved in terrorism based on factors such as affiliation, province of origin, age, level of radicalization, and conviction provides an in-depth understanding of their characteristics and patterns of involvement. The research results provide an overview of the potential threat of exposure to radicalism and violence-based extremism targeting children.

This research was conducted to determine the implementation of water absorption policies for flood management in urban areas, especially in the city of Cirebon at the Cirebon City Public Works and Spatial Planning (DPUPR) department. The research approach used is normative juridical, conceptualizing law as written norms so that this research emphasizes studies in the form of legislative products, namely those that regulate water absorption such as regional regulation number 38 of 2019 concerning the implementation of groundwater conservation through infiltration wells and infiltration holes. biopore. Policy implementation in flood management by the Cirebon City PUPR Service has included handling floods and puddles as a priority in the Regional Government Work Plan (RKPD) for 2025. For handling urban drainage, the PUPR Service's work target is to reach up to 83% by 2024, and 86% for 2025, and 89% for 2026. One of the strategies taken includes the creation of retention ponds, absorption wells and eco-drainage. However, there are still several obstacles in implementing this policy, such as limited resources and lack of community participation. To overcome these obstacles, efforts need to be made such as increasing the budget, providing adequate human resources, and educating the public about the importance of water absorption. Overall, the implementation of the water absorption policy for flood management in Cirebon City has shown a positive direction. With continued efforts and collaboration from various parties, it is hoped that this policy can be more effective in minimizing the risk of flooding in urban areas.
Freiheit des Willens in der frühen Kant-Rezeption
Authors: Baum Manfred
Published: June 2024

Kant’s solution for the problem of freedom of the will rests on his transcendental idealism and its differentiation of appearances and things in themselves. Human beings, with their bodies and observable inner and outer activities, are objects of perception (empirical intuition) and therefore appearances. These are only the appearances of their noumenal selves. Human beings are determined by laws of nature in all their perceivable alterations which include all their actions, but their noumenal selves, not being in time, are not determined by the necessity of causal laws of nature, but can be determined by the moral law of their pure practical reason which they give to themselves. The actions of the will, observable volitions and external actions, can therefore, at the same time, be under the necessitating law of nature, i.e. be unfree, and, as appearances of the self-determination of their noumenal will (by fulfilling the demands of the moral law), be free. Two professors of Jena University, Ulrich and Schmid, accept part of Kant’s transcendental idealism but contend that the many transgressions of the moral law in human acting must have their noumenal reason in the agent’s intelligible character or in the intelligible substrate of nature. This theory is called “intelligible fatalism”.

Authors:   Department of Physics, ”K.M. Agrawal” College, Kalyan, Maharastra, India. 421301, PANDEY M.
Published: June 2024

Pure polypyrrole (ppy) doped with different weight percent of papain was synthesized by in situ polymerization. These different compositions of pyrrole and papain composite polymers were analyzed for direct current (DC) conductivity. The size of the particle calculated by using the Scherrer equation and Williamson-Hall (W-H) plot was found to be in the range of 15 nm – 20 nm. Activation energies evaluated by using Arrhenius plots show an increase in activation energy from base ppy to papain-ppy composite polymer. The activation energy was found to vary from 22.4 meV to 34.4 meV for papain-ppy composite. The experiment revealed that Mott’s Variable Range Hopping model (VRH) for three dimensions (3D) applies to pure polypyrrole and papain-ppy composite. The density of states at the Fermi level N(EF) were found to be 2.7 × 1021 eV–1cm–1 for pure ppy and ranged from 0.3 ×1019 eV–1cm–1 to 0.8 ×1020 eV–1cm–1 for the composite polymer. The average hopping range and average hopping energy of pure ppy and composite polymers were also calculated.

Published: June 2024

Education is a transformative tool that is critical to the progress and development of a nation. The goal of true education is more than the cognitive development and creative thought processes. It is also about character molding of a person, making a holistic individual. It is true that the foundation of a quality education is character. An individual's education cannot be complete without character, and the knowledge they have acquired will not benefit Nigerian society or themselves unless their character is transformed. This study identifies character deficit as a major challenge in Nigeria contemporary society. The research examines the issues and prospects, and how education can be applied through character reformation to address the problems. To achieve the purpose of this study, qualitative method research is utilized. It relies on secondary data collected from text books, journal articles, and was analyzed in relation to the scope of the study (Nigeria). The theoretical framework is drawn from the social learning theory of Albert Bandura’s and moral development theory of Jean Piaget which set out the progressive model on how the Nigerian society can be morally re-engineered to produce citizens that will contribute to the progress and growth of Nigeria. It concludes and recommends that an integrative and consensus approach be adopted to achieve this objective.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging of a Rare Case of Primary Choriocarcinoma of the Vulva
Authors: Sathyanathan Babu Peter , Mridhula Venkatakrishnamurali Maheswari
Published: June 2024

Primary extrauterine choriocarcinoma is a rare condition, commonly reported in the cervix. Primary vulvovaginal choriocarcinoma has rarely been reported and review of literature reveals no case with MRI features for choriocarcinoma involving only the vulva. We report a rare case of primary choriocarcinoma of the vulva in a young woman, highlighting its Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) features.
A 26-year-old female patient presented with complaints of menorrhagia, elevated serum Beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) levels and a history of suction evacuation for partial molar pregnancy 4 months ago. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the pelvis revealed a normal uterus and adnexa. However, there was a well-defined T1 hypointense, T2 heterogenously hyperintense sublabial mass lesion with internal flow voids, few peripheral areas of restricted diffusion and few internal areas of T1 hyperintensity that bloomed on gradient images. On contrast administration, there was intense peripheral enhancement of the lesion, especially in the regions of restricted diffusion and also in the center of the lesion, where flow voids were observed. Few confluent non enhancing areas of necrosis were also present. In view of the clinical presentation, elevated β-hCG and imaging findings, a diagnosis of choriocarcinoma of the vulva was made and chemotherapy (EMA-CO regimen) was initiated, following which β-hCG decreased progressively and the patient is currently asymptomatic and follow up MRI revealed no abnormal significant residual lesion.
Awareness of a labial lesion being due to extrauterine choriocarcinoma in patients with elevated β-hCG is crucial for effective management and recovery. Our case uniquely emphasizes pretreatment MRI features as well as post-treatment imaging follow-up

The duration for training is 6 weeks, 5 days a week, 80 minutes of training per day, through the test data before the experiment, after 3 weeks, after the test, through statistical analysis.
Results: The steady increase in basketball skill scores of the 30 primary school students aged 8-10 years old who participated in the basketball classes tested before, after three weeks, and after six weeks of the experiment can be concluded that fundamental movement training improves the basketball skills of primary school students.
Conclusion: In this experiment, compare mean comparison of TGMD, shooting, Dribbling, and Passing with pre-test After 3 weeks and post-test by way of ANOVA repeated measurement and post hoc with Bonferroni. Through the statistical analysis of the results of this experiment, we will find that they compared with the match pair of TGMD in shooting, dribbling, and passing. All pairs showed significant differences and each value steadily increases with training. So, fundamental movement training can effectively improve the efficiency of learning basketball skills.

Introduction

Clavicular fractures can be managed surgically or via a non-operative approach. In those electing for surgical fixation, post-operative CXR may be routine practice in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) for a rare complication of pneumothorax (PTX), thus driving up the cost for managing these fractures. The value and associated cost of this routine CXR in PACU following open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of clavicles has not been thoroughly assessed. In this study we investigate the cost effectiveness of obtaining CXR after operative treatment of clavicle fracture.

Materials and Methods

Study was designed as a healthcare two-way dichotomous model with decision trees built in where a CXR was either obtained or not. Literature review was performed to determine the cost estimates of CXR, the cost of ORIF, and associated hospital stay expenses. Annual volume of clavicle ORIF’s performed were derived from the PearlDiver database, queried for CPT-23515 (Clavicle ORIF). Estimation of CXR rates were performed from 3% to 98% of patients undergoing clavicle ORIF. Net monetary analysis with associated sensitivity analysis of 10,000 repetitions was performed.

Results

The strategy without CXR proved to be the most cost-effective strategy with a net monetary benefit (NMB) of $32,022.50. At $50,000 willingness to pay (WTP), the no CXR strategy was the preferred option. This strategy was found to be optimal 76% of the time followed by routine CXR 23% of the time and less than 1% being indifferent. The national annual costs of routine CXR after clavicle ORIFs was estimated to range from $7,100 to $349,860, which over 10 years represents anywhere from $81,540 to $2,663,640 in additional expenses.

Conclusion

The provided study demonstrates that routine CXR after clavicle ORIF is not cost effective. Due to the exceedingly low incidence of PTX as a post-operative complication in clavicle ORIF, we recommend that hospitals and surgeons refrain from ordering radiographs in post-operative patients, with the exception of those displaying concerning clinical signs for PTX or those with known pre-operative pulmonary injury. Adopting this strategy will limit unnecessary healthcare costs accrued by patients and may be the more clinically appropriate management.

Increasing company value through increasing owner or shareholder income is the company's main goal. One aspect used in measuring company value is the implementation of a good corporate governance system. This research aims to find out how the concept of Good Corporate Governance is applied in increasing company value. The research method is qualitative with literature study or Library Research. The aim is to analyze the comparison of existing theories with previous theories in the research literature. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that company size has a positive and significant effect on company value in a positive direction indicating that if company size increases, company value will also increase. Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) has a positive and insignificant effect on company value because the profits obtained are greater. divided into the research period is too small because large remaining profits are retained and used to increase internal funding sources thereby increasing total assets and reducing debt to total assets, Institutional Ownership has a positive and insignificant effect on company value, and independent commissioners have a significant positive effect on company value . It is necessary to analyze further regarding other GCG factors in applying the concept, especially in increasing company value so that this can provide information to companies and other researchers to be used as a reference in subsequent developments.

Published: June 2024

The study investigated the thermal stability of Cucurbita pepo seed oil carboxylates in the temperature range of 433, 453 and 473K. The carboxylates, prepared via metathesis in ethanol, exhibited characteristic vibrations (1633-1398 cm⁻¹) conrming formation of the carboxylates. The decomposition rate constants were found to be of the order of 10⁻³ min⁻¹, with activation energy values spanning 12.0- ǂ 18.4 kJ mol⁻¹. The activation enthalpy (ΔH ) was observed in the range of 8.03-14.47 kJ mol⁻¹, indicating ǂ an endothermic behavior. The non-spontaneous decomposition process, indicated by ΔG (113.7-115.7 ǂ kJ mol⁻¹) and -ΔS (0.227-0.244 kJ mol⁻¹ K⁻¹), identied Ba-PSO as the most stable. This suggests the potential use of Cucurbita pepo seed oil for metal carboxylate synthesis thereby, enhancing its commercial value and promoting its cultivation in Nigeria.

Technological advances have enabled the observation of foraging behaviour in wild marine animals. We can observe where they go, how deep they dive, how much energy they expend, and with the use of animal-borne cameras we can capture specific foraging behaviours. Here we describe a newly observed foraging behaviour in African Penguins Spheniscus demersus in which they target fish located in jellyfish tentacles. As animal-borne cameras have only been deployed on African Penguins since 2015 it is unclear whether this behaviour is novel or previously unobserved. The behaviour appears to be opportunistic and beneficial to the African Penguins as it enables them to catch stationary prey. As the availability of the African Penguin’s traditional schooling fish prey changes in the southern Benguela Current ecosystem due to climate change and overfishing, opportunistic foraging strategies like this could enable African Penguins to supplement foraging success at a low energetic cost.
