Published: November 2024

Nas regiões pesqueiras, há um paradoxo entre o alto consumo doméstico de pescado e sua baixa inclusão na alimentação escolar. A pesquisa buscou identificar os entraves político-institucionais, administrativos e operacionais que dificultam a incorporação do pescado na alimentação escolar em Alenquer-PA, uma região tradicionalmente pesqueira do Pará. Para isso, adotou-se uma abordagem de métodos mistos, com coleta de dados por questionários e entrevistas. Os resultados revelam obstáculos estruturais e de organização que afetam o processo em três níveis principais. No âmbito político-institucional, a fragmentação das ações governamentais e a falta de articulação entre políticas de pesca e educação limitam a criação de programas integrados. Em termos administrativos, a burocracia nas aquisições públicas, a desorganização entre pescadores e a escassez de recursos financeiros dificultam a adaptação das escolas à demanda por pescado. No nível operacional, a carência de infraestrutura, a sazonalidade da pesca e certa resistência cultural ao consumo do pescado comprometem a implementação de um programa alimentar com esse recurso. Em síntese, o estudo oferece insights importantes para a gestão pública e a formulação de políticas que valorizem a diversidade cultural e nutricional nas escolas, promovendo o desenvolvimento econômico local e a segurança alimentar.
The Impact of Maqashid Syariah on the Human Development Index (HDI): The Case of Indonesia
Authors: Ahsanul Amal Muhammad , Gunawan Dedi , Choiri Miftakhul , Badrus Zaman Akhmad Roja
Published: November 2024

This study investigates how the Maqashid al-Shariah framework, encompassing the protection of religion (Hifzu al-Din), life (Hifzu al-Nafs), intellect (Hifzu al-Aql), progeny (Hifzu al-Nasl), and property (Hifzu al-Mal), influences Indonesia's Human Development Index (HDI). This study utilises qualitative research methods and incorporates Eviews-12 software for data analysis, notably using panel data regression techniques with selected Common Effect Model (CEM). The research sample included eight provinces, namely: Papua, West Papua, East Nusa Tenggara, West Sulawesi, West Kalimantan, West Nusa Tenggara, North Maluku, and Gorontalo for the timeframe of 2019-2022. The analysis revealed that protecting religion (Hifzu al-Din) and protecting the mind (Hifzu al-Aql) significantly influence Indonesia's HDI. Interestingly, protecting life (Hifzu al-Nafs), offspring (Hifzu al-Nasl), and property (Hifzu al-Mal) did not show a statistically significant direct impact on HDI in this study. One limitation of the study is the reliance on data from only eight provinces, which may not be representative of the whole territory of Indonesia. The novelty of the research lies in its utilization of the maqashid sharia approach to analyze human development indicators in specific provinces of Indonesia, providing a unique perspective on the factors influencing development in Islamic contexts.
How Does the Performance of Islamic Microfinance Institutions Affect the Welfare of SMEs?: Empirical study of BTM Mulia Babat
Authors: Hakimi Fifi , Maf'ula Faricha , Syahidin M. Ramizal
Published: November 2024

This study aims to assess the direct and indirect effectiveness of Islamic microfinance services, particularly financing products, in enhancing the welfare of small and medium-sized entrepreneurs (SMEs) in Lamongan, with Baitul Tamwil Muhammadiyah (BTM) Mulia Babat as the case study. The partial least square-structural equation modeling method is used in this quantitative study, examining data from 52 respondents, where the respondent data are BTM Mulia Babat business financing customers. The findings of this study found that Islamic microfinance services and business assistance directly have a positive impact on SMEs' increase in income. However, Islamic microfinance services and business assistance indirectly do not impact SMEs' welfare. Despite the increase in SMEs' income, it directly impacts SMEs' welfare. The novelty of this study is to identify the effectiveness of Islamic microfinance institutions in improving the welfare of SMEs. This study presents evidence of the impact of Islamic microfinance institutions on the welfare of micro and medium entrepreneurs. It can encourage more Islamic microfinance programs to offer feasible Islamic microfinance services as an alternative to boosting SMEs in the regions. This study's empirical implications and findings highlight the importance of business assistance from Islamic MIFs as business financing providers to support businesses.

Empathetic Leadership and Cultural Consciousness in Leading: Lessons from Iceland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland
Authors: Mullamaa Kristina
Published: November 2024

During our cooperation in different international projects with partners from other Scandinavian and Nordic-Baltic countries, I have tested various leading styles with the goal of ensuring the personal balance and work enthusiasm in the group. The paper analyses in practical terms and at the meta-level, the cooperation and leadership model we developed working with university teachers from six different Nordic and Baltic countries (Estonia, Iceland, Sweden, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland). I review the cooperation format, its pluses and minuses. This is done through the prism of Collectivism and Individualism. Building on the data analysis described above, suggest as a new approach, Emphatic Leadership and Culture- competent Leading. Empathetic Leadership and Culture-competent Leading is the notion I introduce to describe the model where cultural awareness, personality-related aspects, and principles of democracy and inclusion are entailed relating to the empathetic understanding of the co-workers, including their cultural preference styles. This is a qualitative piece of work that builds on experience analysis. The methodology is ethnographic research using description and theoretical analysis. the methods of participant observation and action research. Semi-structured questionnaires were administered to the participants as semi-structured individual and group interviews at the end of the first round of project periods (three different projects completed). The work period analyzed includes our five different group-leading periods (2017–2024), one of which partly coincided with the Pandemic period (2020–2022). The ongoing project period (three projects) was analyzed through interviews.
The Chemerpil gravimagnetic anomaly as a modern reflection of the unique Precambrian volcanic-plutonic magnetite-gold mineralisation structure of the Ukrainian Shield (Middle Bug area)

Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of genesis and mineralogical potential of Chemerpol iron-magnetite structure, its difference from other similar objects of Central Bug area. As an independent geological-geophysical object it was established according to the data of gravimetric and magnetometric survey of medium scale as a complex localised maximum of subisometric shape with diameter of 1.7 km and area of 2.8 km2. In regional structural and tectonic terms, this maximum is confined to the Sinitsiv block of the Golovanovsk suture zone. As of today, the Chemerpol structure has been sufficiently investigated by mapping drilling and various geophysical methods at the level of the crystalline basement surface. Based on the obtained data, the main petrophysical complexes involved in its structure have been determined. The industrial and mineralogical potential of the Chemerpolska structure is estimated at 100 million tons of magnetite quartzites and carbonate formations, as well as 2 tons of exogenous gold in the weathering crust. No estimates have been made of the underlying gold deposits. Copper mineralisation, represented by the natural copper, chalcopyrite and chalcosine, has been identified in the weathering crust and crystalline basement. By structural and tectonic features, petrophysical and mineralogical diversity, the Chemerpolska structure can be attributed to local pipe volcanic-magmatic objects. Its closest well-studied geological analogues may be such Precambrian "stratified" iron-oxide-gold-copper deposits as Solobot and others of the Carajas ore district in Brazil. For geological verification of new conclusions about the peculiarities of the Chemerpol structure and its actual ore potential, it is necessary to continue its study based, first of all, on the data of targeted structural exploration drilling and deep seismic and electrical exploration methods. The economic efficiency of extraction of the main mineral components of the Chemerpolska structure - gold and magnetite iron - can be increased due to the accompanying use of non-metallic calcifiers for the manufacture of sintering flux, soil deoxidation, raw materials for road pavement.

According to the results of observations at the seismic stations of the Carpathian region of Ukraine in 2023, the main parameters of 81 earthquakes in the range of energy classes KR=5.8÷13.7 were obtained. The parameters of seismometric equipment at active seismic stations are given. A catalog of earthquakes, their distribution by regions and energy classes, a map of epicenters, graphs of seismic energy release and the number of earthquakes in the region by month are presented. A brief description of the seismicity of certain seismically active areas of the Carpathian region is given. The total energy observed in the region was ΣЕ=9.06·1013 J, which is slightly higher than the last year’s level of ΣЕ=5.06·1013 J. This year, increased seismic activity was observed in three seismically active areas. Thus, 19 earthquakes of energy class KR=5.7÷13.7 were recorded in the North-Western region. Their total seismic energy was ΣЕ=5.02∙1013 J. The two strongest in this area were the earthquake that occurred on October 9 at 18:23 on the territory of Slovakia, near the town of Humenne, with KR=13.7 at a depth of h=8.8 km and intensity at the epicenter of I0=8 points and the earthquake in Transcarpathia, near the village of Dovge, on January 3 at 01:28 with magnitude MSH=3.1, KR=10.7 at a depth of h=9.6 km and intensity at the epicenter of about 5 points. In the Southern Carpathians, 29 earthquakes with KR=8.8÷13.0 were registered at a depth of 2―35 km with a total seismic energy of ΣЕ=3.72∙1013 J. This year, in terms of seismic activity after a long seismic lull, the Krishan region was the third. There were 8 earthquakes with KR=7.6÷12.3 with total seismic energy ΣЕ=2.56∙1012 J. The foci of earthquakes are located in the earth’s crust at depths h=2.0÷15.1 km. This year, compared to last year, the Vrancea district was less active. For the whole year, 19 events with KR=8.4÷11.5 were recorded, the total seismic energy of which is ΣЕ=6.41∙1011 J. In the territory of Bukovyna this year, there is also a decrease in seismic activity compared to 2022. A total of 4 earthquakes with an energy class of KR= 5.8÷7.8 had total seismic energy ΣЕ=1.05∙108 J. The foci of earthquakes were located in the earth’s crust at depths h=1.1÷5 km. Only 2 weak earthquakes were recorded in the Bacau region in 2023, and none in the Banat and Transylvania regions. The regional Carpathian hodograph was used to determine the main parameters of earthquakes in Transcarpathia, and the Jeffreys-Bullen hodograph was used for earthquakes in the Vrancea zone and other six districts.

Fulgurații ale Familiei în Dreptul fiscal
Authors: Puț Septimiu-Ioan
Published: November 2024

Pentru legiuitorul fiscal pozitiv român, instituția juridică a familiei nu reprezintă un subiect fiscal, un „contribuabil” căruia să-i consacre și securizeze un regim fiscal special. Familia nu figurează nici măcar pe radarul preocupărilor indirecte, conexe sau contextuale care privesc, de regulă în alte legislații, simplificarea formalităților fiscale pe care soții trebuie să le parcurgă, acordarea unor scutiri punctuale sau reduceri la plata impozitului pe venit, aprecierea globală a bazei impozabile și a impozitului datorat, utilizarea instituției deducerii personale indiferent de natura sau sursa veniturilor, acordarea de alocații sau credite fiscale pentru copii. Aceasta înseamnă că legiuitorul român nici măcar nu și-a pus problema conferirii unor valențe fiscale reale și efective instituției juridice a familiei, deși atât contextul social, cât și cel economic, respectiv juridic, ar face necesară o reglementare integrată, unitară a familiei din perspectivă fiscală.

The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of financial performance on stock returns in manufacturing industries listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.The analytical method used in this research is a quantitative descriptive approach. With a population of all manufacturing industries registered on the Indonesian stock exchange using porpusive sampling.
 The results of this research show that based on the results of data analysis and discussion in the previous chapter, this research resulted in the following conclusions; Most manufacturing industries listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange produce negative EVA. This indicates that the industry does not create added economic value because the company does not take into account the cost of capital for the invested equity. ROA, ROE, and EVA do not have a significant effect on stock returns in the manufacturing industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This happens because it turns out that company profits are one of the indicators for calculating ROA, ROE and EVA are not the only indicators in making stock price decisions. The cost of capital, which is a component of EVA calculations, is greatly influenced by interest rates. Apart from that, there are differences in technical calculations, company size, conditions of the Indonesian money market, the existence of internal factors other than economic fundamentals, interest rates, devaluation, economic growth, government spending and money supply, sales, sales growth, costs, cash dividends, social, political and economic conditions are factors that must be considered in determining stock returns.

Published: November 2024

The relationship between health and social class has been a topic of research for many years. However, the exact mechanism linking them with health self-management is still not completely clear. The main indicators of the independent variable social class are income and education level. The study used a descriptive approach using a social survey method, and collected data from a random sample of 699 individuals from the northern region of Jordan. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26 and EOMS, and we performed regression analysis and Pearson correlation test to examine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The results show a positive relationship between social class and health, with lower social classes producing unfavorable health. Although the health self-management of the lower social class has access to good food and self-evaluation, they are less able to provide health care compared to the upper class. Thus, this discrepancy contributes to health inequalities between members of the upper and lower social classes.

Published: November 2024

Soundscape tourism has become one type of tourism, and its trend is emerging in most areas with hilly, forested, and natural landscapes, such as Bantul Indonesia, becoming a mainstay for region development and its community. This article explores four human manufactured soundscape tourism destinations in Bantul, Indonesia, examining the interrelationships between each tourism stakeholder and pinpointed development from a socio-economic perspective. We adopt a cross-case study approach, drawing main sources from government statistics, regulations, social media narratives, and online news. Using the NVivo 12 Plus software, we coded and annotated the research source. Our research revealed that in four case studies, tourism soundscapes emerged as the primary tourist attractions, with other attractions only marginally contributed. Presenting music or acoustic stages enabled tourism industry to reap benefits, particularly for local community and regional income. However, it is important to emphasize sustainability issues, thus, the continuous increased in music soundscape in nature has led to the formation of collaborations among tourism actors, with local communities “Pokdarwis” posed as the principal driving force behind destination development. This study demonstrates that human-manufactured soundscapes have the potential to increase visitor numbers and outperform natural soundscapes in natural destinations.

Published: November 2024

Non-contrast magnetic resonance lymphography (NMRL) has been reported to be efficient for the evaluation of lymphedema. However, its characteristic findings and grading system are yet fully clarified. We retrospectively examined 48 patients with secondary lower extremity lymphedema (LEL) who underwent NMRL and indocyanine green lymphography (ICG-L). The lower extremity was divided into 5 areas for NMRL evaluation, and the prevalence of characteristic NMRL findings (Mist, Spray, and Inky) and the 3D NMRL stage that we proposed were compared according to the ICG-L stage. All characteristic NMRL findings increased in prevalence with the progression of the ICG-L stage (Mist, Spray, and Inky: P < 0.001, < 0.001, and < 0.001, respectively) Predominant findings in each segment changed significantly from Mist in the ICG-L stage 0-Ⅱ, to the Spray in ICG-L stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, to the Inky in ICG-L stage Ⅴ (P < 0.001). 3D NMRL stage significantly advanced with the progression of the ICG-L stage (rs = 0.72; P < 0.001). We believe this severity grading system is useful for efficient evaluation of fluid accumulation in LEL patients.

North Africa in the Foreign Policy of Catherine II
Authors: Berezhnov A. I.
Published: November 2024

The 18th century represented a transformative era for the Russian Empire, characterized by substantial internal reforms and notable foreign policy achievements. Amidst sweeping modernization efforts, Russia secured significant victories on the international stage. Under Peter I, Russia "opened a window" to Europe, while Catherine II's reign expanded Russia's geopolitical reach to the Black Sea, facilitating access to fertile southern territories and establishing crucial maritime routes for international trade. These strategic advancements considerably enhanced Russia's influence and strategic capacities. During Catherine II’s reign, Russia also initiated its first forays into North Africa, a region previously beyond the empire's strategic horizon. Prior to gaining maritime access to the Black and Mediterranean Seas, Russian interaction with North African territories was negligible. However, the geopolitical landscape of Catherine's era prompted the necessity of engaging with Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Tripoli.This article investigates the principal foreign policy initiatives of Russia toward North Africa during the latter half of the 18th century. These efforts served as ancillary operations to Russia's overarching conflict with the Ottoman Empire. Throughout the Russo-Turkish Wars, Russia exploited separatist movements within the Ottoman periphery to weaken its adversary strategically. In times of peace, Russian priorities shifted to safeguarding merchant vessels in the Mediterranean from attacks by Barbary corsairs—specifically from Tunisia, Algeria, and Tripoli. To mitigate these threats, Russia employed diplomatic pressure on the Sublime Porte and sought to negotiate peace agreements with North African states. Nevertheless, these early Russian engagements in North Africa were tentative and often marked by limited success and instances of diplomatic adventurism, leaving several initiatives unrealized.Utilizing archival documents from the Archive of Foreign Policy of the Russian Empire (AVPRI) and the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts (RGADA), this article provides a detailed examination of Russia’s diplomatic decision-making and negotiations with North African states. While prior Russian and foreign scholarship has analyzed specific events and countries in this context, this study seeks to offer a more holistic understanding of Russia’s foreign policy objectives and actions in North Africa during the 18th century.
The Memory Police: Rehashing the Image of Totalitarianism or Intentionally Anachronistic Writing?
Authors: Došen Ana
Published: November 2024

Literary images, followed by their visual interpretation in diverse film adaptations have effective impact of reinforcing the “knowledge” about certain political ideologies. The cultural representation of fascism and totalitarianism seems to be reductively limited to its repetitive features of definite suppression of freedom and brutal control. Yoko Ogawa’s dystopian novel The Memory Police (1994) depicts the state of affairs of a novelist on an unnamed island where inhabitants are subjugated to oppressive regime of the Memory Police enabling the total amnesia of all the objects disappearing from everyday life. My intention is to explore whether Ogawa’s literary images challenge or underpin the previously established imagery of existing power structures. Further, I will discuss the notion of anachronism both as motif and (intended) literary approach. This novel is also analyzed through its allegory about the future perspective of the written word in the indifferent and oblivious world.
Night Landscapes of Autopsia
Authors: Orcsik Roland
Published: November 2024

This study explores the underground artistic project Autopsia from Vojvodina, examining its visual, textual and musical works within the context of ex-Yugoslav avant-garde, neo-avant-garde and postmodern art. The focus will be on Autopsia’s latest project Steel Books, which are unique art objects that incorporate diverse cultural questions. Steel Books recontextualize ancient motifs of night and death, resonating with similar themes found in Baroque art and literature. Autopsia combines the Baroque method of discordia concors with postmodern eclecticism, but rather than celebrating the neoliberal ‘free market” of cultural artefacts, it offers a critical perspective.

Introduction: Forensic Odontology (OF) is a branch of dentistry that deals with the legal field. Forensics is concerned with the identification process, which can be done with dental autopsies. Dental autopsy is in the form of a postmortem examination of the cadaver teeth to determine the cause of death and identify the victim. Discussion: The process of conducting an autopsy is regulated in laws, government regulations, and a circular letter of the minister of health that explains the rules and types of autopsy actions. The process of implementing dental autopsy must be carried out gradually and regularly. In addition, good visibility is needed to provide accurate results and maintain data accuracy, so specific techniques such as incision and excision methods are needed. Completeness of antemortem and postmortem data is also needed so that the identification process can run properly and precisely. Conclusion: Forensic odontology plays an important role in identifying unknown bodies through the estimation of age, gender, race, and abnormalities present in the teeth. This makes dental autopsy key in the current process of identifying and presenting dental evidence. However, there are still many public views that are still inaccurate and have the potential to hinder the identification process in forensic autopsy.

Background: Anxiety is a human emotion that causes a feeling of worry, tension, and discomfort. In dentistry, anxiety is known as dental anxiety, which is the cause of symptoms of psychological disorders, such as depression, fear, and feelings of discomfort towards dental treatment. Dental anxiety is related to age, gender, education level, history of traumatic dental experience, and knowledge of dental care. One of the dental treatments is fixed dentures. Ideally, tooth loss should be replaced to anticipate various disorders that can occur. However, many have not done denture treatment to replace missing teeth, and anxiety is one of the reasons someone did not do denture treatment. Objective: To describe the level of anxiety in patients undergoing fixed denture treatment. Method: This type of research is descriptive observational with a cross-sectional design. This research was conducted by distributing a questionnaire containing 9 questions regarding the treatment of fixed dentures. Results: The results of this study indicate patient anxiety with a low anxiety level of 23.3%, a moderate anxiety level of 70%, and a high anxiety level of 6.7%. Female patients have a higher level of anxiety than men. Patients with adulthood have a higher level of anxiety than the elderly. Patients with primary and secondary education levels have the highest anxiety levels, and patients with the 2nd and 3rd number of visits also have the highest anxiety levels. Conclusion: Most of the fixed denture patients at RSGM-P FKG Usakti have moderate anxiety levels.

Background: The most prevalent bacteria found in periodontitis are the Gram-negative anaerobic stem bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis. Periodontitis can potentially affect tooth mobility and tooth loss. Plaque control can be achieved using mechanical tools such as toothbrushes and interdental cleaners, which are reinforced by the use of antibacterial remedies as a chemical approach. Purple leaves contain chemical compounds including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, tripenoids, saponins, and glycosides. Objective:  To determine the effectiveness of purple leaves as an antibacterial inhibitor against Porphyromonas gingivalis. Methods: The experimental laboratory study with microdilution method, the breeding of Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277. The test material is purple leaf extract in six, Concentrations: 100%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, and 3.125%, as well as aquades (negative control) and chlorhexidine 0.2% (positive control). The antibacterial test was carried out by counting the total bacterial colonies obtained using the formula for the average number of bacterial colonies. Results: In testing purple leaf extract against Porphyromonas gingivalis, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was obtained at a concentration of 3.125% and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) was obtained at a concentration of 50%. Conclusion: Purple leaf extract is effective as an antibacterial against Porphyromonas gingivalis, starting at 50% and 100% concentrations.

Oleh karena itu, memahami prinsip pengelolaan phlegmon dan selulitis merupakan hal yang penting bagi para praktisi.Infeksi odontogenik merupakan salah satu patologi yang paling umum terjadi di daerah mulut dan maksilofasial. Infeksi biasanya berkembang melalui tiga fase: inokulasi, selulitis, dan pembentukan abses. Selulitis wajah yang berasal dari gigi adalah peradangan pada jaringan adiposa seluler yang terletak pada rongga-rongga yang mengelilingi rahang bawah dan rahang atas, yang berkembang dari daerah yang mengalami infeksi gigi. Selain itu, phlegmon dasar mulut atau yang biasa disebut dengan Ludwig’s angina juga merupakan salah satu komplikasi infeksi odontogenik. Phlegmon dasar mulut merupakan selulitis supuratif difus akut yang menyebar terutama pada jaringan ikat longgar, yang dimulai dari ruang submandibular. Infeksi odontogenik seperti selulitis dan phlegmon merupakan salah satu keadaan darurat yang harus segera ditangani oleh dokter gigi. Penatalaksanaan yang diperlukan pada selulitis yaitu dengan menghilangkan penyebab infeksi, dan melakukan drainase bedah. Selain itu, penatalaksanaan pada kasus phlegmon dilakukan dengan cara menjaga pernapasan, terapi antibiotik agresif dan dekompresi ruang submental, sublingual dan submandibular.
