Determinants of Work Loneliness in Hybrid Work: A Comparison Study Between Newcomers and More Experienced Employees
Authors: Mäkelä Liisa , Tanskanen Jussi , Kemppinen Samu , Siiriäinen Aija , Urrila Laura
Published: February 2025

Remote and hybrid work became common practices due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. However, they entail a risk of work loneliness, which raises the question of newcomers’ socialisation to work communities. This study explores whether the social context of hybrid work is perceived differently by employees who entered the organisation during or after the pandemic and their more experienced employees and if elements of the social context of hybrid work function as antecedents for work loneliness differently among these two groups. This research is based on data (N=1641) on hybrid workers from a large technology industry company collected in December 2022. Our results show that new employees experienced higher work loneliness than experienced employees. Informal communication with supervisors and colleagues and social support from colleagues (and particularly among new employees from the supervisor) were associated with lower levels of work loneliness. Our study provides empirical evidence concerning the antecedents of work loneliness and introduces the contingency factor as an additional element to the work loneliness process model. This study also contributes to organisational socialisation literature by being the first to compare newcomers and experienced employees in the post-pandemic hybrid work context.
Performing Managerial Functions During the COVID-19 Crisis: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Nosková Marta , Januška Martin
Published: February 2025

Managing businesses during COVID-19 was challenging, mainly due to constant changes. Managers' experiences gained from these crises should be shared so that they can be more prepared in case it happens again. The aim of this article is to research current literature to find out what changes in the performance of managerial functions were observed during the COVID-19 crisis. A systematic literature review was performed in the Web of Science (WoS) database to summarise findings on this topic. Eventually, only 18 publications were analysed (which indicated a significant research gap). Most of the identified changes were related to the function of leading (e.g., the need to motivate and communicate more clearly and support employees to adapt to remote working). In organising, managers faced problems regarding the shortage of employees, constant reorganisation, and the issues accompanying remote working. Planning in the COVID era was very challenging, but not many research papers dealt with it, same as with controlling. When writing this article, no publication (on WoS) directly studied the changes in management functions due to the COVID-19 crisis. This article bridges the identified research gap by summarising the changes identified from the existing research and suggests the necessity of the research in this area.

Transitivising Mechanisms in Old English
Authors: Narbona Esaúl Ruiz
Published: February 2025

Based on the surviving Old English textual material, as well as on Old English dictionaries and the relevant literature, this work studies the role of preverbs (eg. Byrnan, ābyrnan, forbyrnan, gebyrnan, onbyrnan) as a transitivising mechanism under the scope of the Cardinal Transitivity approach. Focus is laid on Old English morphological causative pairs that show signs of lability, i.e. verbs that can function transitively or intransitively with no morphological marking. This work has two main objectives. On the one hand, to examine to what extent preverbs may influence the valence of verbs that are ambivalent from the point of view of their valence as well as to shed light on the effects preverbs may have on other parameters of transitivity such as telicity or affectedness. On the other hand, this book also explores a rather neglected topic so far: the interaction of preverbs and the Germanic morphological causative marker -jan as transitivising mechanisms in Old English.

Fiskalentstrickung als Strukturproblem im Binnenmarkt
Authors: Seufer Ramona
Published: February 2025

Entstrickung ohne Realisation durchbricht das ertragsteuerlich immanente Prinzip der Besteuerung realisierter Gewinne. Als Phänomen der Ertragsbesteuerung wird Entstrickung auf Ebene des Binnenmarktes zum Strukturproblem. Transnationale Entstrickung ist Fiskalentstrickung, in Abgrenzung zu nationaler, systembedingter Entstrickung. Der nationalstaatliche Fiskus sieht Steuersubstrat abwandern und seinen Besteuerungszugriff gefährdet, sobald das Wirtschaftsgut aus der Staatenzugehörigkeit herausbricht. Transnationale Binnenmarktbewegungen erfordern die Auseinandersetzung mit Unionsrecht und mit einer Grundspannung zwischen Grundfreiheitsrechten und nationalstaatlicher Autonomie. Entstrickung stellt insbesondere im derzeitigen Entwicklungsrahmen der Europäischen Union eine Kontroverse dar. Die Entstrickungsbesteuerung, die aufgrund eines Fiskuswechsels ausgelöst wird, zeigt sich als Strukturproblem einer Marktordnung, die das Recht auf Bewegungsfreiheit garantiert, zuweilen aber nicht umzusetzen vermag. Die Regelungen im deutschen Steuergesetz münden zudem in vielfältigen Kontroversen, was zur systematischen Aufarbeitung von Erfordernis, Umsetzung und Auswirkung von Entstrickung anleitet sowie zu der Frage, wie sich die deutsche Entstrickungsbesteuerung in den europarechtlichen Gesamtkontext fügt.

Grenzbeschlagnahme und Piraterie in Deutschland und Brasilien unter Berücksichtigung des Transits von Markenwaren
Authors: Bhering Philippe
Published: February 2025

Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit einer Thematik, die mit zu den kontroversesten Debatten auf dem Gebiet des deutschen und europäischen Markenrechts in den letzten Jahren geführt hat: mit der Möglichkeit der Beschlagnahme von Pirateriewaren durch die Zollbehörden des Transitlands.

In einer zunehmend globalisierten Welt mit ihrer immer enger vernetzten Wirtschaft hat der internationale Handel mit Waren im Transitverkehr, und somit auch der von Pirateriewaren, einen beachtlichen Aufschwung erlebt. Um die Piraterie an breiter Front und wirksam bekämpfen zu können, erwies es sich als notwendig, Mechanismen einzuführen, welche die Beschlagnahme von Pirateriewaren auch im Transitland ermöglichen, um auf diese Weise ihr Inverkehrbringen mittels irgendeines Täuschungsmanövers in den Wirtschaftskreislauf des Transitlands bzw. in den des Bestimmungslands zu verhindern.

Vor diesem Hintergrund bestand das Ziel der vorliegenden Dissertation darin, die von den europäischen Gesetzgebern zu diesem Thema gefundene normative Lösung näher zu untersuchen, um ihre Vereinbarkeit mit dem internationalen Recht, insbesondere mit Art. V Abs. 2 GATT und mit dem Prinzip der Transitfreiheit, zu prüfen. Ausgehend von dieser Untersuchung wird im Verlauf der Studie eine neue Lösung für die Problematik vorgeschlagen.

Ein weiteres Ziel der Arbeit bestand darin, die Rechtslage bezüglich des Transits von Pirateriewaren in Brasilien zu analysieren. Vor dem Hintergrund der deutschen bzw. europäischen Erfahrungen wird schließlich eine gesetzliche Regelung der Problematik in Brasilien gemäß einem ausformulierten Vorschlag de lege ferenda postuliert.

Private-Equity-Investments im Gesundheitssektor
Authors: List Tobias Jürgen Werner
Published: February 2025

Die ambulante zahnärztliche Versorgung war lange vom „Idealtypus“ des selbstständig tätigen Zahnarztes in eigener Praxis geprägt, der in eigener wirtschaftlicher Verantwortung seine Praxis führte. Mit der Einführung der Kooperations- und Organisationsform des Medizinischen Versorgungszentrums (MVZ) im Jahre 2004 veränderte sich dieses Leitbild zunehmend. Seitdem haben auch institutionelle Leistungserbringer die Möglichkeit, an der ambulanten zahnärztlichen Versorgung teilzunehmen. Gleichzeitig öffnete sich damit der ambulante Gesundheitsmarkt auch für versorgungsfremde Investoren.

Diese vom Gesetzgeber selbst angestoßene Entwicklung versuchte dieser fortan durch verschiedene Gesetzesänderungen zu beschränken. Mit dem Terminservice- und Versorgungsgesetz und der Neuregelung in § 95 Abs. 1b SGB V wurde insofern ein weiterer Versuch unternommen, versorgungsfremde Investoren vom vertragszahnärztlichen Markt fernzuhalten.

Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich vor dem Hintergrund des Medizin- und Verfassungsrechts der auch in der Praxis relevanten Frage, ob diese (neu) eingeführten Einschränkungen verfassungskonform sind und gibt einen Ausblick auf die Unionskonformität der Regelung.

Water, sometimes referred to as the ‘matrix of life’, highlights the fundamental significance of life’s ecosystem. However, water pollution creates substantial worldwide concerns, jeopardising access to safe drinking water and impeding progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Real-time monitoring (RTM) systems, which use modern sensor technology and data analytics, present a possible answer to these issues. The study examines the challenges presented by worldwide water issues such as scarcity, pollution and insufficient sanitary infrastructure. This emphasised the function of RTM in water management, emphasising its benefits for improving water quality monitoring, supporting effective water management strategies and protecting water resources. Furthermore, it investigates the use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and remote sensing techniques in water quality detection, emphasising their ability to give real-time data, increase monitoring capabilities and promote informed decision-making. The chapter also examines the use of advanced sensors (chemical sensors, smart sensors, satellite sensors), data analytics and visualisation approaches for enhanced decision-making and resource management. Overall, RTM, when combined with IoT and remote sensing technologies, provides a holistic strategy to addressing water pollution, mitigating its effects and promoting sustainable water management practices.

Authors: Kolekar Sadhu K. , Ahir Rahul , Diwate Kiran , Borate Haribhahu
Published: February 2025

This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of various deposition techniques used for synthesizing copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) thin films, focusing on both vacuum and non-vacuum processes. Vacuum-based methods, known for producing high-quality films with minimal defects, are compared with non-vacuum techniques, which often introduce impurities and defects. The discussion includes techniques, such as sputtering, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), pulsed laser deposition (PLD), electrodeposition, spray pyrolysis, the sol-gel method, and electron beam evaporation. Among these, spray pyrolysis is highlighted for its scalability, cost-effectiveness, and ability to deposit films at room temperature. The chapter also explores advanced characterization techniques for CZTS thin films, including Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). In addition, the chapter discusses the fabrication and optimization of CZTS-based solar cells, emphasizing the impact of pre-treatment, sulfurization temperature, and device architecture on performance. The chapter concludes by addressing the future potential of CZTS thin films in photovoltaic applications.
Productivity and Efficiency Growth During Emergency Medicine Residency Training
Authors: Singh Matthew T. , Austin David M. , Mullennix Stephanie C. , Reynolds Joshua C. , Oostema J. Adam
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Throughout training, an emergency medicine (EM) resident is required to increase efﬁciency and productivity to ensure safe practice after graduation. Multitasking is one of the 22 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) EM milestones and is often measured through evaluations and observation. Providing quantitative data to both residents and residency administration on patients seen per hour (PPH) and efﬁciency could improve a resident experience and training in many ways. Our study was designed to analyze various throughput metrics and productivity trends using applied mathematics and a robust dataset. Our goals were to deﬁne the curve of resident PPH over time, adjust for relevant confounders, and analyze additional efﬁciency metrics related to throughput such as door-to-decision time (DTDT). Methods: We used a retrospective, observational design in a single, tertiary-care center emergency department (ED) that sees approximately 110,000 adult patients per year; our study spanned the period July 1, 2019–December 31, 2021. A total of 42 residents from an ACGME-accredited three-year residency were included in the analysis. We excluded patients <18 years of age. Data was collected using a secure data vendor, and we created an exponential regression model to assess resident PPH data. Additional models were created accounting for patient covariates. Results: We analyzed a total of 79,232 patients over 30 months. Using an exponential equation and adjusting for patient covariates, median PPH started at 0.898 and ended at 1.425 PPH. The median PPH by postgraduate (PGY) year were 1.13 for PGY 1; 1.38 for PGY 2; and 1.38 for PGY 3. Median DTDT in minutes was as follows: 185 minutes for PGY 1; 171 for PGY 2; and 166 for PGY 3. Conclusion: Productivity and efﬁciency metrics such as PPH and DTDT data are an essential part of working in an ED. Our study shows that residents improve with number of patients seen per hour over three years but tend to plateau in their second year. Door-to-decision time continued to improve throughout their three years of training.
Comparison of the Effect of SAMPE and ALDERTE Checklists on the Incidence of Complications After Discharge of Radical Prostatectomy Patients from the Post-anesthesia Care Unit (PACU)
Authors: Zareie Alireza , Moradimajd Parisa , Saei Azam , Abolghasemi Jamileh
Published: February 2025

Background: Among the available tools, the SAMPE and ALDERTE checklists have been specifically designed to facilitate timely patient discharge, minimize human error, and optimize resource utilization. Given the complexities associated with surgical care, a comparative analysis of these two checklists is essential to evaluate their efficacy in improving discharge outcomes and preventing complications. Methods: This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study assessed the distribution of complications following radical prostatectomy surgery by utilizing the SAMPE and ALDERTE checklists for discharge from the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). A total of 156 participants, divided into three groups of 52 individuals each, were monitored for post-discharge complications 12 hours after their discharge from the PACU across three training centers. This methodology enabled a thorough evaluation of the roles of both checklists in mitigating adverse events during the critical post-operative period. Results: No significant differences in complication rates were observed among the groups; however, bleeding and vomiting were slightly more common in the SAMPE group. Conclusions: This study concluded that neither the SAMPE nor the ALDERTE checklist provided a distinct advantage over the control group, which comprised patients routinely discharged from the same treatment center. Both checklists demonstrated similar functionalities, with each showing relative strengths in specific aspects; however, neither was found to be universally superior to the other.
Re-injury Anxiety in Elite Iranian Handball Players: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Seyedahmadi Mohammad , Keavanloo Fahimeh , Omidi Aryan , Bagheri Nafise
Published: February 2025

Background: Fear of re-injury is a common psychological challenge in athletes that can negatively impact the rehabilitation process and return to sport. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and related factors of fear of re-injury among elite Iranian male and female handball players. Methods: In 2023, a descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted involving elite handball players from Iran's Premier League and Divisions One and Two. Participants were distributed an online questionnaire, including the Re-injury Anxiety Inventory (RIAI) and a Sports Injury History Questionnaire. Two hundred twenty players (164 men and 56 women) completed the survey. Data on injury type, location, and timing were also collected. Statistical analysis was performed using independent t-tests with SPSS22 software. Results: Most handball players had a history of serious sports injuries, with higher rates in women (98.21%) than men (93.90%). Non-contact injuries were more common in men (60.36%), while contact injuries were slightly more common in women (51.78%). Injuries occurred more frequently during training in women (53.57%) and competition in men (49.39%). Men had a significantly higher fear of re-injury than women (P = 0.002), and this fear was greater in athletes with a history of injury (P = 0.014). Conclusions: Fear of re-injury is prevalent among elite handball players, especially men and those with prior injuries. Injury patterns differ between men and women, and protective equipment prevents injuries. These insights can aid in creating intervention programs to reduce re-injury fears and enhance return-to-sport outcomes in handball players.
Factors Associated with Acquiring Food from a Farmers Market and Community or Home
Garden Among Primarily African American Residents from Under-Resourced
Neighborhoods
Authors: Gustat Jeanette , Lee Yu-Zhang , Johnson Taylor , O'Malley Keelia , Luckett Brian , Myers Leann
Published: February 2025

Farmers markets (FMs) and community/home community gardens (C/HGs) can increase
access to fresh fruit and vegetables (F/V). There are limited data on FM and C/HG
utilization in African American, under-resourced communities. We explored factors
associated with acquiring food from these venues. Methods: An interviewer administered,
cross-sectional survey was conducted door to door in two, low-income, predominantly
African American neighborhoods in New Orleans, Louisiana. Conclusions: Establishing FMs
and C/HGs in low-income communities may be a viable strategy for increasing F/V
consumption. Future research within low-income minority communities is needed to inform
initiatives to reduce nutrition-related health disparities using FMs and C/HGs. Every
third housing unit was selected for inclusion after enumerating and listing all
residential addresses within the neighborhoods. We then identified the primary household
shopper of selected units for the interview. Acquisition of food from a FM or C/HG in
the past three months as well as consumption of F/V was assessed. Results: A total of
901 participants were interviewed. Daily servings of fresh fruit and vegetables were
positively associated with acquiring food from a FM and a C/HG in the past three months
(p < 0.05). African Americans and those who lived farther away from a FM were less
likely to acquire food from a FM (p < 0.05). Those who cooked at home were more
likely to use C/HGs. Discussion: FMs can help promote healthy eating habits. Use of FMs
depends on location.
The Use of Indigenous Plants in Diarrhea Prevention in Rural Communities
Authors:   Department of Industrial Pharmacy Kampala International University Uganda, Nambi Nabuuma Ruth
Published: February 2025

Diarrheal diseases remain a significant health challenge in rural communities, where access to conventional healthcare is limited. Traditional knowledge about indigenous plants offers valuable insights into preventive and curative measures for diarrhea. This paper examines the ethnobotanical and pharmacological potential of indigenous plants used to address diarrhea, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and similar rural contexts. It highlights the symbiotic relationship between cultural practices, indigenous knowledge, and medicinal plant use, emphasizing the need for integrating traditional and scientific approaches. Case studies from the Eastern Cape, South Africa, provide practical examples of community-driven initiatives leveraging indigenous plants for primary healthcare. While indigenous plants offer cost-effective and accessible solutions, challenges such as biodiversity loss, knowledge erosion, and cultural barriers hinder their broader adoption. The paper concludes by advocating for policies and partnerships to document, preserve, and integrate indigenous plant knowledge into health systems, fostering sustainable healthcare solutions in rural communities.

Keywords: Indigenous plants, Diarrhea prevention, Traditional knowledge, Ethnobotany, Rural healthcare, Medicinal plants, Biodiversity.

Exploring the Role of Emotional Intelligence in Educational Leadership
Authors:   Faculty of Education, Kampala International University, Uganda, Kashaka Nyiramukama Diana
Published: February 2025

Emotional Intelligence (EI) plays an important role in educational leadership by influencing decision-making, team dynamics, and organizational climate. EI is defined as the ability to perceive, understand, and manage emotions in oneself and others, fostering a collaborative and supportive school environment. This paper examines how EI, through its core competencies self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills enables leaders to mediate conflicts, improve staff morale, and create a positive school climate. The theoretical framework highlights the connection between EI and transformational leadership, emphasizing its role in goal achievement, continuous learning, and fostering relationships within educational settings. Practical applications, including training programs that develop emotional competencies, underscore EI as a learnable skill critical for leadership success. Challenges such as resistance to change, lack of awareness, and limited resources are discussed alongside opportunities for EI-focused professional development initiatives. The paper concludes that embedding EI training into leadership development programs can enhance educational leaders’ effectiveness, improve team cohesion, and positively impact student outcomes, laying the groundwork for future research and practice.

Confidentiality and Communication: Navigating Client Privilege
Authors:   Faculty of Business, Kampala International University, Uganda, Nabirye H. Kato
Published: February 2025

Client privilege and confidentiality are foundational to professional-client relationships, ensuring trust and candid communication. While legal frameworks, such as attorney-client privilege and psychotherapist confidentiality, codify these protections, they are also upheld by ethical standards across professions. This paper examines the evolution of client privilege, its legal and ethical dimensions, effective communication strategies, and the challenges professionals face in maintaining confidentiality. Addressing the nuances of privilege and confidentiality, the discussion highlights the importance of trust, transparency, and active listening in fostering strong client relationships while emphasizing the potential risks posed by breaches, technological developments, and competing obligations. Recommendations for training, adherence to best practices, and the ethical balancing of competing responsibilities are also examined.

Keywords: Client privilege, confidentiality, professional ethics, communication strategies, trust, legal frameworks, therapeutic confidentiality.
Collaboration in the Nova Scotia Non-profit Sector: shared knowledge, shared skills, shared sustainability
Authors: MacIntosh Jessica
Published: February 2025

Non-profit organizations face many challenges such as unstable funding, high staff turnover rates and inadequate training. These challenges are further exasperated as the need for social services increases and governments continue to download more responsibility to non-profit organizations. Non-profit organizations need to collaborate with one another in order to overcome these challenges and address society‘s complex problems. Benefits of collaboration include the ability to share knowledge, skills and training and reduce redundancy in efforts, which would in effect increase the overall capacity of an organization and its attractiveness to funders. Challenges to collaboration involve building trust, communication and identifying common objectives and goals. However, this paper proposes that collaboration is possible in the Nova Scotia non-profit sector, through careful design in the preliminary stages of initiation and a focus on building trust and relationships. As such, a unified non-profit sector can be the solution to issues of sustainability currently being faced by these organizations.
Culture of memory: Prof. Edmund Balgač and his (un)forgotten building opus
Authors: Kostić Dragan , Radomirović Predrag , Milošević Vuk , Folić Radomir
Published: February 2025

The tendency to cover large areas led to the adoption of saddle-shaped geometric forms as the optimal solution for suspended roof systems. The development of suspension systems in the early 1950s was facilitated by advancements in numerical methods for solving complex systems of differential equations. Fred Severud (USA) and David Jawerth (Sweden) provided analytical solutions that enabled the optimal application of these systems. Edmund Balgač (Yugoslavia) enhanced existing models with his theoretical knowledge and practical skills, applying them in the construction of several halls in Serbia. Professor Balgač achieved the uniqueness of his solutions by combining aesthetic and structural requirements for covering large areas. Even today, many buildings utilizing this structural system continue to fascinate with their appearance and functionality. This paper analyzes the theoretical contributions of Prof. Balgač through the calculation of the roof structure of the Great Hall of the Textile Fair in Leskovac and the Fair and Sports Hall in Subotica, highlighting his creativity and the importance of these suspension cable structures as cultural and architectural heritage. Simultaneously, we remember Professor Balgač as a versatile engineer with a special gift for solving specific tasks using the most modern methods and techniques from global practice, thanks to his proficiency in German and English.

Authors: Ryan Sales Thomé Victor , Túlio Cavalcante Costa Pablo , Caridad González Perez Lissett
Published: February 2025

Objetivo: avaliar a segurança da tibolona como terapia de reposição hormonal em mulheres na menopausa. Métodos: trata-se de uma revisão de escopo, desenvolvida nas bases de dados Pubmed, Web of Science e Scopus. Foram considerados estudos de coorte, ensaios clínicos, estudos observacionais e revisões que respondessem a seguinte questão norteadora: Quais são as evidências disponíveis sobre a segurança da tibolona como terapia de reposição hormonal em mulheres na menopausa? Os trabalhos deveriam estar disponíveis na íntegra e gratuitos e terem sido publicados entre 2014 e agosto de 2024. Os desfechos primários de interesse incluíram dados sobre a segurança do uso da tibolona, como o risco de câncer de mama, câncer endometrial, eventos cardiovasculares, efeitos adversos e impacto na saúde óssea. Após o cruzamento de descritores controlados, foram encontrados 323 trabalhos, dos quais foram selecionados 28. Resultados: a maioria dos trabalhos foi publicado no ano de 2024 (21,43%), com temáticas sobre a terapia hormonal e a ocorrência de câncer. A tibolona mostrou-se uma opção relativamente segura, uma vez que não aumento o risco de câncer de mama ou ovário entre as mulheres menopausadas e pós-menopausadas. Conclusão: A tibolona possui boa eficácia e segurança na terapia de reposição hormonal nas mulheres em menopausa e pós-menopausadas, ainda que sua indicação deva ser cuidadosamente avaliada.
Agri-Food System Governance in Bangladesh’s Coastal Regions: Why the Socio-Ecological Systems Approach Needs to be Politicized
Authors: Joshi Deepa , Schulze Paul , Amin MD Nurul , Gallant Bryce , Aheeyar Mohamed , Rahman Mokhlesur , Garrett James , Sarker Mou Rani
Published: February 2025

While Bangladesh is reported as doing well in food production, there is increasing concern that this essentially deltaic and highly climate-vulnerable country will face steep challenges in food governance and productivity. Anthropogenic drivers shaped by narrow economic goals and sectoral policies have deeply altered Bangladesh’s food systems since the early 1960s and partly led to adverse outcomes. By combining policy and institutional analysis and primary research in Shyamnagar Upazila in Satkhira district in the southern coastal deltas, we revisit two key transitions, poldering and commercial shrimp farming, to reveal how diverse economic, social, and political factors have reshaped the efficiency, inclusivity, and sustainability of agri-food systems. These complex interactions between agrifood systems, the broader ecology, and heterogeneity in poverty, gender, and other social identities are poorly understood and accounted for in policies and program interventions. This has resulted in unequal conflicts and contestations around critical resources, which impact most marginalized groups, also because policy incoherence encourages collusions between local elites and local decision-makers (all men) for resource appropriation and control. Conceptually, a social-ecological systems (SES) framework would identify these complexities. However, SES approaches tend to be technocratic and overlook the overtly economic framing of natural resources governance, diversity amongst local communities, and the politics of resource appropriation. This gap can be remedied by merging SES thinking with a critical political ecology lens to trace the historical, scalar, and deeply intersectional nature of socio-ecological relations.

Aspek Hukum Dalam Penggunaan Obat-Obatan Terlarang di Bidang Medis Berdasarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 35 Tahun 2009
Authors: Riend Afrianita  , Abdul Rahman Maulana Siregar
Published: February 2025

Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics in Indonesia provides a strong legal basis for regulating the use of narcotics in the medical field. This regulation aims to ensure that the use of narcotics is carried out safely, in a controlled manner and in accordance with the interests of health services. This research aims to analyze legal aspects related to the use of illegal drugs in the medical field, identify challenges in implementing regulations, and provide policy recommendations to overcome existing obstacles. The research method used is normative juridical, with a legal approach and literature studies from various legal and health journals. The research results show that although regulations have been prepared comprehensively, their implementation in the field faces obstacles, such as complicated bureaucracy, lack of education for medical personnel, and social stigma against narcotics use. This hampers patient access to treatment, especially for palliative therapy needs and chronic pain management. The conclusions of this research emphasize the need for strategic steps to increase understanding of medical personnel, simplify administrative procedures, and educate the public to reduce stigma. Thus, existing regulations can be implemented optimally to support public health goals without ignoring aspects of supervision. It is hoped that this recommendation can strengthen the legal system and health services in Indonesia, so that patients' rights to health can be fulfilled more effectively.

Am 29. Januar 2025 stimmte der Bundestag über Anträge der Union zur Verschärfung der Migrationspolitik ab. In einem bislang beispiellosen Tabubruch in der Nachkriegsgeschichte der deutschen Politik nahmen Union und FDP erstmals Stimmen der extrem rechten AfD in Kauf. Ein Blick über die Grenze in die Niederlande zeigt, was passiert, wenn Mitte-rechts-Parteien der radikalen Rechten die Hand reichen. Statt sie zu schwächen, legitimiert und stärkt es sie.

Aim: In this study, our goal is to compare the effectiveness of Kolmogorov Inspired Convolutional Neural Networks (KAN) with traditional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) models in pneumonia detection and to contribute to the development of more efficient and accurate diagnostic tools in the field of medical imaging.
Methods: Both models are structured with the same layers and hyperparameters to ensure a fair comparison of their performance. For a robust evaluation, the relevant dataset was divided into 80% for training and 20% for testing.
Results and Conclusion: Performance metrics of KAN; 95.2% sensitivity, 97.6% specificity, 94.1% precision, 96.9% accuracy (Acc), 0.9466 F1 score (F1) and 0. 9251 Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), while the CNN model was found 92.5%, 96.4%, 91.2%, 95.3%, 0.9188 and 0.8858 for the same criteria, indicating that KAN outperformed. This comparison emphasizes that KAN has the potential to be a more effective model for pneumonia detection in chest CT images.
