Published: March 2024

Digital transformation of business activities has outgrown from competitive advantage to necessity in recent years. Evolution of information and communication technologies (ICT) has created the world where electronic business (E-Business), document management systems (DMS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions have become standard, even for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) in developing countries. Modern businesses focus on implementing data analysis, businessintelligence (BI) and even artificial intelligence (AI) concepts in their everyday activities, thus the digitalization of business activities is simply considered as default. Nevertheless, public companies in developing countries fall behind and struggle in this transformation process, as usual. Due to various reasons, they are still in the phase of digitalization, rather than implementing advanced solutions. Any organizational change demands unfreezing and mindset redirection, among both management and executors, which is always challenging, especially in the public sector. This paper aims to explain the preconditions and benefits of digital transition of the train maintenance process, and key challenges in such transformation.

Authors: Vižintin Liliana
Published: March 2024

Podnebne in okoljske spremembe predstavljajo vse večje tveganje za ekosisteme in človeštvo. Koncept na ekosistemih temelječega prilagajanja na podnebne spremembe zajema vključitev ukrepov za ohranjanje biotske raznovrstnosti in ekosistemskih storitev v strategije prilagajanja na podnebne spremembe na več ravneh in v različnih sektorjih. Namen teh ukrepov je povečati odpornost, zlasti ranljivih ekosistemov in skupnosti. Obalna območja Sredozemlja so posebej ogrožena zaradi dviga gladine morja in stopnjevanja ekstremnih vremenskih dogodkov, ki so posledica podnebnih sprememb. S tem se povečuje tudi tveganje za poplave, vdor slane vode in erozijo obale. Z integracijo ukrepov za prilagajanje in zmanjševanje tveganja nesreč na lokalni, nacionalni in makroregionalni ravni je mogoče doseči številne družbeno-gospodarske in okoljske koristi. Uspešnost ukrepanja je odvisna predvsem od participacije skupnosti ter vzpostavljanja globlje ravni sodelovanja pri sooblikovanju in soupravljanju ukrepov. Na osnovi analize literature smo v prispevku poudarili pomanjkanje raziskav o participaciji deležnikov pri udejanjanju ukrepov na ekosistemih temelječega prilagajanja. Z analizo praktičnega projekta pa smo prikazali uporabnost pristopa participacije pri načrtovanju prilagajanja obalnih zavarovanih območij in lokalnih skupnosti.

Authors: Vladić Nenad , Maletič Damjan , Maletič Matjaž
Published: March 2024

The aim of the research is to review the narrative of sustainable leadership in the light of current challenges such as geopolitical over composition, economic risk, supply chain disruption and inflation, and to provide guidance for future research and practical implementation. We conducted the research by examining the documents in the Scopus database that specifically address sustainable leadership in industry. In doing so, we determined intensity of research, geographical research presence, the most explored country industries and prevalence by type of research. It became apparent that despite its almost 20-year presence in the academic literature, sustainable leadership as an independent research construct is still in the development phase and has much potential for further progress. This is confirmed by the small number of articles, authors and geographical absence in most parts of the world. Accordingly, further research on sustainable leadership is needed to achieve greater currency and in-depth understanding both in the academic field and in business. In this sense, we propose constructive interaction of researchers from the fields of business and management with researchers from the field of education.
Dialogue In The Poetry Of Ibn Muqbil (A Reading Of The Aesthetics Of The Text)/ الحوار في شعر ابن مقبل (قراءة في جماليات النص)
Authors: Shakir Marwah Ahmed
Published: March 2024

The dialogue represents an essential part of the aesthetics of the literary text, with the aesthetic interaction and multiplicity of voices within the text that it achieves. It helps to reveal the features of the creator's personality and its psychological tendencies. Through his conversation, the creator may look to show the characters who surrounded him, which may have affected his creative process. It psychologically impacted the creator and created an essential influence on the recipient. The method research is the theory of reading and reception and the mechanisms of the German theorist (Wolfgang Iser) in revealing the aesthetic effect of the creative artistic and poetic techniques that the text carries. The most important result of the research is that there is much dialogue in Ibn Muqbil's poetry, employing him to express psychological impulses such as grief, illness, and love toward the beloved woman or to complain about her. Dialogue contributed to the aesthetic of influence through artistic techniques that exposed creative poetics and the susceptibility of ancient texts to permanence, life, and harmony with theories of modernity (such as reading and receiving theory).
Process digitalization of providing pre-shift briefing in signals and interlocking division
Authors: Trishin Nikita
Published: March 2024

The uninterrupted operation of railway signals and interlocking equipment is ensured by automation and telemechanics workers, whose skill level directly affects the occurrence of failures of technical equipment. Awareness of it leads to the development of fundamental regulatory documents in the field of continuous studying of personnel, including for the stage of preparation for carrying out planned work. The author’s review of the actual normative base, which regulates to be taken part in various types of briefings by automation and telemechanics personnel, has showed that a significant unsystematized amount of material must be mastered before starting work. As a result, the immediate supervisor is responsible for setting the emphasis during informing of this material to employees. He also makes a management decision about the admission of an employee to carry out planned work according to the maintenance and repair plan-schedule. An important component of this procedure is an objective assessment of the level of employee theoretical knowledge and skills according to the results of self-preparing which doesn’t have clear requirements in the field of automation and telemechanics. However, on such unstable ground, a decision was made to digitalize the process of providing briefings, which has been done using such corporate automated systems in the field of technical study as KASKOR, SDO, SJeZh, AOS-Sh. Current state of affairs has been considered and analyzed on Murmansk signals and interlocking division, for example. Particular attention is paid to the consideration and possibility of improving the functionality of AOS-Sh as the main system in the field of technical study of automation and telemechanics personnel. Based on the obtained research results, recommendations have been formulated for creating the effective production process as applied to providing pre-shift briefing which is an achievement of the goal of this article.
Preserving the World Trade Organization’s Role Amid the Proliferation of Essential Security Interest
Authors: Nivia
Published: March 2024

Abstract
International economic regime has been interrupted by recent disputes involving national security exception under Article XXI GATT. Along with the spirit of trade liberalization behind WTO’s establishment, the Panel conclude that it has jurisdiction on the matter. Nonetheless, this decision is opposed by several countries. This research aims to consider whether this approach is in line with GATT 1994’s purpose, namely to preserve the balance between trade liberalization and security interest of its Member States.Even though the answer is positive, the issue of compliance arises because of politically sensitive nature of  security interest. Some States has expressed its refusal to comply with WTO’s decision on security interest exception. Hence, there is urgency to consider alternative forum to prevent all cases directly brought to litigation process. This research shows that WTO Panel’s approach to exercise its jurisdiction regarding the invocation of article XXI is indeed the best approach to maintain delicate balance between trade liberalization and security interest. However, aside of this adjudicative mechanism, there is proposal to establish National Security Committee to deal with states’ interest issue that may affect international trade system.

Abstrak
Rezim ekonomi internasional terusik oleh beberapa kasus terakhir yang melibatkan pengecualian keamanan nasional di bawah artikel XXI GATT. Bersamaan dengan semangat pembentukan WTO, Panel menyimpulkan bahwa WTO memiliki yurisdiksi dan kasus tersebut dapat diperkarakan. Meskipun demikian, keputusan ini ditentang oleh beberapa negara.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis apakah pendekatan demikian selaras dengan tujuan GATT 1994, yakni menjaga keseimbangan antara liberalisasi dagang dan kepentingan keamanan negara anggotanya. Walaupun jawaban atas pertanyaan tersebut positif, isu kepatuhan muncul karena sensitivitas politis dari isu keamanan. Beberapa negara telah menunjukkan penolakannya untuk patuh pada kepputusan WTO dalam konteks kepentingan keamanan. Maka dari itu, terdapat urensi untuk menimbang alternatif forum lain untuk mencegah semua kasus dibawa ke dalam proses litigasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan yang dilakukan WTO dengan menyatakan kewenangan mengadilinya atas artikel XXI memang merupakan pendekatan terbaik untuk menjaga keseimbangan antara liberalisasi perdagangan dan kepentingan keamanan negara anggota. Namun, di samping forum adjudikatif ini, terdapat proposal untuk membentuk National Security Committee untuk menangani isu keamanan negara yang mungkin memengaruhi sistem perdagangan internasional.

SAFIRE STRENGTH OPTIMIZATION: EFFECT ON TISSUE CONTRAST AND PATHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF BRAIN MSCT WITH NON-HEMORRHAGE STROKE (SNH)
Authors: Juliantara I Putu Eka , Martoyo Angel Lingkan , Pratista Made Sayang
Published: March 2024

Background: Sinogram Affirmed Iterative Reconstruction (SAFIRE) is an Iterative Reconstruction algorithm that combines IR techniques that utilize raw data and image data iterations as parameters that underlie noise regularization in images in the reconstruction process to improve image quality. Purpose: Analyze the effect of variations in SAFIRE strength values on image contrast and pathological evaluation of CT scan brain with clinical Stroke Non-Hemorrhage (SNH). Method: This research is a quantitative analytic study with an experimental approach to analyze the effect of SAFIRE strength values on image contrast and pathological assessment on CT scan brain examination. Result: Statistical test results showed a significant difference (p-value < 0.05) in all variations of SAFIRE strength, with the resulting Contrast-to-Noise Ratio (CNR) value increasing as the SAFIRE strength value used increased. The average CNR improvement was 18.4% on all SAFIRE strength values compared. This increase is affected by a linear decrease of the noise value from one SAFIRE strength value to another. Image contrast improvement also affects the pathological assessment of SNH due to the increased density differences in the hypodense lesion compared to the surrounding tissues. Conclusion: The use of the SAFIRE strength variation significantly affects image contrast values and pathological assessment in the SNH brain MSCT examination.
Perlindungan Hukum bagi Kreditur selama Proses Penggantian Objek Hak Tanggungan
Authors: Putri Thabita Kurnia
Published: March 2024

AbstractAs distributors of public funds, banks are extensively involved in credit agreements as creditors with their customers as debtors. When entering into a credit agreement, the bank typically requests collateral from the debtor, often tied to the institution of mortgage rights. Issues arise when a credit agreement is in place but the debtor seeks to replace the collateral object of the mortgage, necessitating an analysis of the replacement procedure and legal protection for creditors during this process. This is normative legal research aimed at addressing legal issues through identification, legal reasoning, and analysis using statute and conceptual approaches. The research findings reveal that the replacement of the collateral object of the mortgage has implications for the termination of the grant of mortgage rights, resulting in a void in collateral for creditors. In the absence of tangible collateral, a general guarantee automatically comes into effect, but additional efforts are still required to protect the bank’s interests. This involves creating a written agreement to promptly provide replacement collateral or binding the replacement collateral before releasing the existing collateral.Keywords: Legal Protection; Credit Agreement; Mortgage Right.
AbstrakSebagai penyalur dana masyarakat, bank banyak terlibat dalam perjanjian kredit sebagai kreditur dengan nasabahnya sebagai debitur. Dalam mengikat perjanjian kredit, tentu bank akan meminta jaminan kebendaan dari debitur, yang umumnya diikat dengan lembaga jaminan hak tanggungan. Permasalahan timbul ketika perjanjian kredit telah berlangsung namun debitur mengajukan penggantian objek jaminan hak tanggungan, sehingga perlu menganalisis prosedur penggantian hingga perlindungan hukum bagi kreditur selama proses penggantian tersebut. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum normatif untuk memecahkan isu hukum dengan melakukan identifikasi, penalaran hukum, serta analisa dengan menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa penggantian objek hak tanggungan berimplikasi terhadap berakhirnya pemberian hak tanggungan sehingga menimbulkan kekosongan jaminan kebendaan bagi kreditur. Ketika tidak ada jaminan kebendaan, maka secara otomatis berlaku jaminan umum, namun masih diperlukan upaya tambahan untuk melindungi kepentingan bank, yaitu dengan membuat perjanjian tertulis untuk segera memberikan jaminan pengganti atau dengan mengikat jaminan pengganti sebelum melepas jaminan yang sudah ada.

Published: March 2024

AbstractTechnological advances which are also accompanied by awareness of the importance of protecting the environment are one of the reasons for the presence of electric buses in several cities in Indonesia. The presence of electric buses in big Indonesian cities should also be followed by clear regulations, this is important so that when carrying out transportation activities the parties involved will understand their rights and obligations. However, until now there are no clear regulations regarding the regulation of electric buses in Indonesia. For this reason, it is necessary to compare the legal regulations for electric bus vehicles as a mode of public transportation between Indonesia and Sweden. Sweden is the choice in comparing laws regarding electric buses because Sweden is a country that has clear regulations regarding electric buses. So it is hoped that it can provide input for law makers in Indonesia in making regulations regarding electric buses. This research uses normative legal research methods. The research approaches used are the statutory regulatory approach, the conceptual approach and the comparative legal approach.Keywords: Road Transportation; Electric Vehicles; Electric Buses; Comparative Law.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe issue of granting management rights over ulayat land to third parties is still being debated. Management rights originating from communal land are contrary to the concept of the management right itself. Management rights, which are part of the authority of State control rights, are contradicted by management rights that can originate from ulayat land because indigenous peoples have ulayat rights on the ulayat land. For ulayat land that still has the status of ulayat rights of indigenous peoples, if given management rights, the ulayat rights must be released by the indigenous peoples. Thus, the communal land becomes free state land. The granting of management rights on ulayat land is becoming increasingly relevant and complex. Several changes related regulations have raised significant questions regarding the existence of ulayat land and its impact on the sustainability of the lives of indigenous peoples. To accelerate the economy, the government needs to pay attention to the ulayat rights of indigenous peoples over their ulayat land and ensure that these rights are protected and respected. The government also needs to ensure that effective national law enforcement mechanisms are in place to resolve ulayat land disputes. As a result of the granting of HPL on ulayat land, legal uncertainty arises. The existence of ulayat land for indigenous peoples is very important in maintaining the identity, culture, and sustainability of indigenous peoples. Ulayat rights protect the rights of ownership and management of communal land by indigenous peoples so that they can continue cultural practices, traditions, and customs that have existed since the time of their ancestors.Keywords: Management Rights; Ulayat Land; Indigenous People.

Regulation of Photosynthetic Capacity and Ion Metabolism of Oilseed Rape under Salt Stress by Prohexadione-Calcium Priming
Authors: Deng Peng , Feng Naijie , Zheng Dianfeng
Published: March 2024

To investigate the effect of prohexadione-calcium (Pro-Ca) primed on seed germination and seedling growth of oilseed rape under salt stress, to alleviate the inhibition of soil salinization on the growth of oilseed rape, and to improve the sustainability of agricultural production. Using Huayouza 158R and Huayouza 62 as test materials, the regulation of seed germination and seedling growth under the stresses of 0, 100, and 150 mM NaCl (S0, S100, and S150) was investigated after the primed of Pro-Ca. We conducted six treatments, S0: non-primed + 0 mM NaCl, PCS0: Pro-Ca primed + 0 mM NaCl, S100: non-primed + 100 mM NaCl, PCS100: Pro-Ca primed + 100 mM NaCl, S150: non-primed + 150mM NaCl, Pro-Ca+S150: Pro-Ca primed + 150 mM NaCl. The results showed that salt stress inhibited seed germination and seedling growth, and Pro-Ca primed significantly increased the germination index and vigor index of oilseed rape seeds. The average germination time and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were significantly reduced, which resulted in the optimal initiation fiddling concentration of 8mg·L-1. The morphological parameters of oilseed rape decreased significantly under salt stress, with leaf area decreasing by 70.69% and 75.03% and total chlorophyll content decreasing by 18.55% and 18.68% at S150. With the rise of salt stress, the changes of each photosynthetic parameter were somewhat similar, and Pn, Gs, Ci, and Tr continued to decline, indicating that the effects of salt stress on photosynthesis in oilseed rape might be mainly attributed to stomatal restriction and inhibition of photosynthetic pigment synthesis. While Na+ and MDA contents increased significantly, reaching a peak at S150, indicating that Na+ content increased significantly under salt stress, which resulted in the slow growth of oilseed rape and weak plants under the influence of Na+ salt damage. After Pro-Ca primed, leaf area and photosynthetic pigment synthesis increased, and the initiation treatment promoted the rise of Pn, Gs, Ci, and Tr under salt stress. The Na+ content decreased by 7.29% and 6.96% in PCS100 compared with S100, decreased by 9.23% and 25.02% in PCS150 compared with S150, and increased in K+ and Mg2+ after Pro-Ca primed. At this time, the antioxidant enzyme activities increased, and the MDA content and relative conductivity decreased. It was concluded that Pro-Ca primed improved the photosynthetic capacity of oilseed rape by promoting leaf growth, stomatal opening, and photosynthetic pigment synthesis. At the same time, reducing Na+ content and promoting K+ and Mg2+ absorption and antioxidant enzyme activities together alleviate salt damage and improve salt tolerance of oilseed rape.

Published: March 2024

A case of low level windshear at Beijing Daxing International Airport is studied in the present pa-per. It is related to the synoptic scale/mesoscale changes of the airflow pattern over northern China. The shear was captured well by the Doppler LIDAR at the airport and timely alerts had been issued. This study considers the technical feasibility of forecasting the shear feature using a high resolution numerical weather prediction model with a lead time of several hours. It turns out that the shear feature could be forecast well, and is generally consistent with the actual observations. However, there are still discrepancies between reality and the simulation, such as the strength of the shear and persistency of the feature. More cases of windshear at Daxing airport would be studied in the fu-ture in order to understand the nature of windshear over there.

Bearing Performance of Prestressed High-Strength Concrete Pipe Pile Cap Connections under Truncated Pile Conditions
Authors: Liu Yasheng , Guo Zhaosheng , He Wubin , Ge Xinsheng , Wang Jingyue , Zhao Jing
Published: March 2024

In this paper, low circumferential reciprocating load foot-scale tests were performed on two truncated PHC B 600 130 tubular piles with bearing nodes to characterize the damage process and morphology of the specimens and to investigate the load-carrying performance of the members. The test results reveal that under the action of tensile-bending-shear loading, the bearing concrete in the node area buckles and is damaged, the anchored reinforcement in the node area yields, the constraint is weakened, an articulation point is formed, and the node rotational capacity increases. When the embedment depth increases from 200 mm to 300 mm, the ultimate bearing capacities of the positive and negative nodes increase by 57.60% and 54.60%, respectively. A numerical simulation is used to verify the test results. Considering the three types of piles with truncated nodes, the numerical simulation is used to analyze the node-bearing capacity at different embedment depths. Finally, two preferred node types are proposed as follows: pipe pile core-filled longitudinal reinforcement anchored into the bearing node and pipe pile body longitudinal reinforcement anchored into the bearing node + pipe pile core-filled longitudinal reinforcement anchored into the bearing node, with preferred embedment depths of 350 mm and 200 mm, respectively.

: Sputtering of silicon in a Helium magnetron discharge (MS) has been reported as a bottom-up procedure to obtain He-charged silicon films (i.e. He nanobubbles encapsulated in a silicon matrix). The incorporation of heavier noble gases is demonstrated in this work with a synergistic effect producing increased Ne and Ar incorporations when using He-Ne and He-Ar gas mixtures in the MS process. Microstructural and chemical characterizations are reported by ion beam analysis (IBA) and scanning and transmission electron microscopies (SEM and TEM). In addition to gas incorporation, helium promotes the formation of larger nanobubbles. For the case of Ne high resolution X-ray photoelectron and absorption spectroscopies (XPS and XAS) are reported with remarkable dependence of the Ne 1s photoemission and the Ne K-edge absorption on the nanobubbles size and composition. The gas (He, Ne, Ar) charged thin films are proposed as “solid” targets for the characterization of spectroscopic properties of noble gases in a confined state without the need for cryogenics or high-pressure anvils devices. Also their use as targets for nuclear reaction studies is foreseen.

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a systemic autoinflammatory disorder caused by inherited mutations in the MEFV (Mediterranean FeVer) gene located on chromosome 16 (16p13.3) and coding pyrin protein. Despite the existing data on MEFV mutations, the exact mechanism of their effect on the development of pathological processes leading to autoinflammation observed in FMF, remains unclear. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are considered an important tool for studying the molecular genetic mechanisms of various diseases due to their ability to differentiate into any cell type, including macrophages, which contribute to the development of FMF. In this study, we developed iPSCs of an Armenian patient with FMF having M694V, p.(Met694Val) (c.2080A>G, rs61752717) pathogenic mutation in exon 10 of the MEFV gene. As a result of direct differentiation, macrophages expressing CD14 and CD45 surface markers were obtained. In addition, we found that the morphology of patient macrophages derived from iPSCs with MEFV mutation was significantly different from that of differentiated from iPSCs of a healthy donor carrying wild-type MEFV gene.

Atherosclerosis, a complex metabolic-immune disease characterized by a chronic inflammation driven by the buildup of lipid-rich plaques within arterial walls, has emerged as a pivotal factor in the intricate interplay between cancer and cardiovascular disease. This bidirectional relationship, marked by shared risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms, underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding of how these two formidable health challenges intersect and influence each other. Cancer and its treatments can contribute to the progression of atherosclerosis while atherosclerosis with its inflammatory microenvironment can exert profound effects on cancer development and outcomes. Both cancer and cardiovascular disease involve intricate interactions between general and personal exposomes. In this review we want to summarize the state-of-the-art of translational data and try to show how oncologic studies on cardiotoxicity can broaden our knowledge of crucial pathways in cardiovascular biology with a positive impact on precision cardiology and cardioncology.

Job characteristics shape organizational sustainability, conferring tangible benefits to employees. Job characteristics shape attitudes toward work, such as satisfaction and engagement, and are related to the well-being and health of employees. The aim of the study was to determine and describe the role of work engagement and support at work in the relation between selected job characteristics (organizational justice, job control, and role clarity) and self-rated health. The study was conducted on a sample of 368 employees representing various industries. The study used: Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), Organizational Justice Survey, Coworker Support Scale, Supervisor Support Scale, Role Clarity Scale, Job Control Scale. Cantril ladder was used to measure self-rated health. The presented study established the importance of lower scores on the UWES subscale: dedication as a significant moderator of the examined correlations. In relation to the correlation: justice and its dimensions, and self-rated health, support from supervisors showed a greater effect than that from coworkers. The conducted study expands knowledge on the formation of employees' self-rated health through the sense of justice experienced within the organization. The results obtained are applicable to organizational practice. This finding highlights the importance of supporting organizational justice, which contributes to employee well-being (particularly when combined with high levels of work engagement and supervisor support) and ultimately increases organizational sustainability. Further research can be continued taking into account the limitations of the previous procedure of selecting people for the study and the measurement tools used.

Pendahuluan: Pada kehamilan umumnya terdapat peningkatan aktivitas koagulasi secara fisiologis. Tingkat keparahan COVID-19 juga sejalan dengan aktivasi jalur koagulasi. Salah satu parameter koagulasi adalah D-dimer. Peningkatan kadar D-dimer pada ibu hamil COVID-19  berhubungan dengan terjadinya hiperkoagulabilitas. Perubahan koagulasi tersebut dapat berisiko terhadap kejadian Intrauterine Fetal Death (IUFD) karena terganggunya supply nutrisi dan oksigen dari ibu ke janin. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah terdapat hubungan antara kadar D-dimer pada ibu hamil COVID-19 dengan kejadian Intrauterine Fetal Death (IUFD) di RSUD dr. Moewardi.
Metode: Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di RSUD dr. Moewardi dengan menggunakan pendekatan cross-sectional. Jumlah sampel yang diperlukan adalah 67 sampel yang terdapat dalam rekam medis sejak Maret 2020 sampai Maret 2023. Analisis data menggunakan SPSS dengan uji Chi Square. 
Hasil: Hasil analisis bivariat pada 67 sampel ibu hamil COVID-19 yang terdiri dari 41 ibu hamil non IUFD dan 26 ibu hamil IUFD dengan menggunakan Chi Square didapatkan P-value sebesar 0,000 (P<0,05) dengan nilai Odds-Ratio 15,111.
Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan antara kadar D-dimer pada ibu hamil COVID-19 terhadap kejadian Intrauterine Fetal Death (IUFD).

Pendahuluan: Covid-19 merupakan penyakit infeksi saluran pernapasan yang dapat menyerang semua kalangan usia. Hingga saat ini, penelitian mengenai faktor risiko tingkat keparahan pada pasien anak dengan Covid-19, khususnya di negara berkembang, masih terbatas dengan hasil yang bervariasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis usia, jenis kelamin, obesitas, penyakit bawaan, dan asma sebagai faktor risiko tingkat keparahan Covid-19.
Metode: Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif desain cross sectional yang dilakukan pada bulan Mei-September 2023 di Rumah Sakit Dr. Moewardi dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 60 pasien dengan data sekunder dan diolah menggunakan SPSS analisis chi square dan uji regresi logistik.
Hasil: Dari 60 pasien yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini 40% di antaranya mengalami tingkat keparahan kritis. Berdasarkan analisis multivariat, terdapat satu variabel yang memengaruhi tingkat keparahan, yaitu penyakit jantung bawaan (OR = 6,000, 95% CI: 1,890-19,043, p = 0,002). Sementara itu, variabel usia hanya berpengaruh signifikan pada analisis bivariat. Untuk variabel jenis kelamin, obesitas, dan asma tidak menunjukkan hasil yang signifikan pada analisis bivariat.
Kesimpulan: Faktor risiko yang memengaruhi tingkat keparahan yaitu pasien dengan riwayat penyakit jantung bawaan.
The Impact of Reward System on Job Satisfaction and In-role Performance among Lecturers in Indonesia
Authors: Fadhil Muhammad
Published: March 2024

The current study attempts to analyze the effect of the reward system (intrinsic and extrinsic) on job satisfaction and in-role performance. Moreover, the expected effect of job satisfaction and in-role performance was also tested. This research focuses on all permanent lecturers at private universities in Makassar under the Institute for Higher Education Services Region IX (LLDIKTI IX). Self-administered online questionnaires were designed and distributed to respondents who met the judgment sampling criteria. The 220 respondents were determined as primary data and then tested with structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis based on partial least squares (PLS). The founding statistically stated that intrinsic rewards positively and significantly affect lecturer in-role performance and job satisfaction. Extrinsic rewards have a significant effect on in-role performance but are not significant on lecturer job satisfaction. Furthermore, the mutual relationship between in-role performance-job satisfaction was confirmed and supported. These findings provide the latest insights into productive human resource planning strategies in higher education in Indonesia.
