This type of research is descriptive-qualitative with a case study approach. The information processed is a report on the implementation of the East Java Provincial Government's budget for the 2018-2022 fiscal year obtained from an online publication published on the official website https://djpk.kemenkeu.go.id/. This 53.807% is based on the East Java Provincial Government's LRA data processing for the 2018–2022 fiscal year. The analysis used in the analysis of regional economic indicators is financial ratio analysis, which calculates the degree of independence, the degree of fiscal decentralization, the efficiency ratio, the ratio of effectiveness, and the regional financial capability. The analysis used to analyze regional financial capacity is the calculation of the share and growth rate as well as a map of the capacity of the regional economy. Based on the calculations and analysis of regional economic indicators, it can be concluded that the relationship model for the degree of regional autonomy in Manado City is a better criterion. The level of decentralization of financial activities is still ongoing, but the efficiency ratio is very effective. Based on regional financial capabilities, it can be concluded that the economic situation of East Java Province is still not ideal. Based on market share and growth calculations, the position of East Java Province is in the second quadrant, and the profitability of the East Java province's economy is relatively high.

„Aufstand der einfachen Leute“? Rechtspopulistische Proteste, politische Partizipation und politische Entfremdung in Sachsen
Authors: Rippl Susanne
Published: October 2023

Der vorliegende Beitrag geht der Frage nach, inwieweit die Protestbewegungen der letzten Jahre die sozialstrukturelle Zusammensetzung der politischen Partizipation verändern. Die bisherige empirische Forschung zeigt, dass höher gebildete Personen der Mittelschicht überproportional an politischen Prozessen teilhaben. Einige Autoren vermuten allerdings, dass die rechtspopulistischen Bewegungen diesen „Participation Gap“ im Bereich der politischen Partizipation schließen könnten. Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, inwieweit die Demonstrationen der letzten Jahre als „Aufstand der einfachen Leute“ verstanden werden können, die sich in politischen Prozessen nicht repräsentiert fühlen. Im Fokus der vorliegenden Studie stehen daher Teilnehmer:innen an Demonstrationen in den letzten Jahren in Sachsen als Hotspot solcher Proteste. Datengrundlage sind die Erhebungen des Sachsenmonitors von 2016–2021/22. Es zeigen sich klare sozialstrukturelle Unterschiede und ein starker Einfluss der politischen Entfremdung bei Demonstrierenden, die dem Rechtspopulismus zugeneigt sind.

Aim: to compare the efficacy of monoclonal antibodies for novel coronavirus infection treatment in pregnant women. Patients and Methods: a retrospective analysis of medical reports of 502 pregnant and puerperal women aged 18–49 years with mild-to- moderate novel coronavirus infection who received monoclonal antibodies was performed. Women were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 108 women who received sotrovimab. Group 2 included 394 women who received bamlanivimab plus etesevimab. The condition was evaluated over 14 days after administering drug(s) based on the data of the general condition survey and laboratory and instrumental tests on days 1, 3, and 7 of follow-up. Lung damage was detected using ultrasound. Results: the maximum number of patients with lung damage grades 1a and 2a was identified on day 3 after starting therapy, i.e., 34.6% in the sotrovimab group and 71.8% in the bamlanivimab plus etesevimab group. On day 14 after starting therapy, most women recovered. When comparing the efficacy of two treatments, sotrovimab was superior to bamlanivimab plus etesevimab (recovery was reported in 96% and 89%, respectively). No adverse events after sotrovimab administration were reported. No therapy-associated clinically significant events were detected using ultrasound during pregnancy and the postnatal period on days 3 and 7 after drug administration. Conclusion: treatment for mild-to-moderate novel coronavirus infection with monoclonal antibodies in pregnant women is effective and reduces the number of hospital admissions, complications, and maternal and perinatal mortality.

Background: heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is one of the unsolved problems in gynecological practice. The frequency of HMB is exactly unknown, which can be most likely related to an individually perceived blood loss volume. Patients with HMB are at high risk of iron deficiency and anemia. The main problem remains the lack of a single treatment algorithm for the HMB in female patients of reproductive age. Medical specialists should actively and, at the same time, effectively solve this clinical problem. Aim: to evaluate the efficacy of combined oral contraceptive (COC) containing 0.03 mg of ethinylestradiol and 2 mg of chlormadinone acetate in patients of reproductive age with HMB. Patients and Methods: the study involved 87 female patients aged 22–43 y.o. with complaints of HMB. After a complete clinical and laboratory examination, all patients were prescribed COC (0.03 mg ethinylestradiol and 2 mg chlormadinone acetate) for 6 months with subsequent efficacy evaluation. The following parameters were evaluated: menstruation duration, RBC, hemoglobin and ferritin count. Results: initially, hemoglobin count was 78.4±0.5 g /L, RBC count — 2.9×1012/L, and ferritin count — less than 29 mg/dL in the setting of normal hemoglobin count were observed in 31 (35.6%) female patients. COCs prescription demonstrated efficacy in blood loss volume decrease during menstruation, which was noted by 85 (97.7%) female patients. Thus, it contributed to the iron content normalization in 29 (93.5%) of 31 patients. The frequency of side effects, which were manifested by discomfort in the mammary glands, nausea, headache, did not exceed 17%. All manifestations associated with drug intake did not require its cancellation or additional treatment. Conclusion: COC containing 0.03 mg of ethinylestradiol and 2 mg of chlormadinone acetate is an effective drug for the treatment of HMB in female patients of reproductive age, allowing to reduce the frequency of latent iron deficiency forms. KEYWORDS: combined oral contraceptives, heavy menstrual bleeding, ethinylestradiol, chlormadinone acetate, iron deficiency anemia, menstrual cycle control, hormonal contraception.

Propagation of electromagnetic waves through complex space for astronomical redshift investigation
Authors: Chen Peter
Published: October 2023

Space has a complex structure and investigations of any electromagnetic wave transmission theory need to consider the inhomogeneous and anisotropic nature. We have selected two cases for our investigations: regions of pulse energy changes and gravitational deflection. Numerical methods have been developed and examples given to show that these conditions do have their localized effects. But, since the total length of those regions are insignificant in comparison with the total transmission distance involved, their inclusion does not significantly alter the linear relationship between wavelength change and distance travelled. The possible exception is the case of gravitational deflection when the waves have passed through densely populated regions of space. Our findings could be of interest to the current debate on Hubble tension.

Tadalafil is an inhibitor of the human enzyme cyclic guanosine monophosphate–specific phosphodiesterase, type 5 (PDE-5). As a mild vasodilator, it is primarily used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, an increasingly common condition in men. It is also used for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Adverse events of this drug are rare. Absolute contraindications include serious cardiac disease. Despite the widespread use of tadalafil, very little is known about its toxicology in forensic pathology and its association with post-mortem redistribution. This study presents a forensic case with possible contribution of tadalafil. The administration of tadalafil might act as a concurrent cause or contributing factor for lethal cardiogenic shock in people with cardiac disease.

Published: October 2023

The trade of elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) in Brazil raises significant concerns due to the country's rich endemic biodiversity. The present study explores the use of DNA-based tools to monitor the Brazilian elasmobranch trade, focusing on their role in identifying processed products and supporting conservation efforts. A systematic search of literature was carried out and included 35 peer-reviewed articles published between 2008 and 2023. We observed a shift in research focus since 2015 from the development of DNA-based tools to direct trade application. Molecular identification challenges, including costly sequencing and limited resources in national databases, were identified along with proposed solutions, such as protocol optimization and exploration of cost-effective alternatives. Biases in trade analysis papers, particularly a lack of research in the Northeast region of Brazil, as well as issues with sample sizes were evident. Species identified using DNA-based tools included the critically endangered Scalloped Hammerhead Shark (Sphyrna lewini), appearing in 46% of the evaluated papers, followed by the Blue Shark (Prionace glauca), and several others threatened species, including the critically endangered endemic Brazilian Guitarfish (Pseudobatos horkelii) and the recently categorized vulnerable Sharpnose Shark (Rhizoprionodon porosus). Other species were reassessed, including previously non-threatened species that are now at risk, emphasizing the need for conservation measures. Our findings highlight the importance of continuing genetic monitoring of shark and ray trade in Brazil, calling for conservation efforts and law enforcement to protect elasmobranch populations, and recommending strategies for accurate species identification, expanded research, and effective management.

Published: October 2023

En la actualidad, dentro de la comunidad científica educativa se pone de manifiesto la transformación del paradigma de la enseñanza de la historia, el cual ha dejado de estar centrado en la asimilación de datos de naturaleza histórica y se apunta hacia el desarrollo del pensamiento histórico. No obstante, en el proceso de enseñanza de la historia dentro de las aulas aún no se visualiza con claridad cómo se aborda dicho desarrollo, tampoco queda claro el papel del estudiante en su proceso de construcción de conocimiento y mucho menos cómo se evaluará la construcción de pensamiento histórico. Además, los avances que existen en torno a este tópico se han centrado principalmente en la educación básica, dejando al margen al nivel superior, al menos en el caso mexicano, por tanto, se hace necesario plantear directrices que aborden los lineamientos de la enseñanza de la historia en las aulas del nivel superior en México, así como las pautas para su evaluación, con el objetivo de establecer el desarrollo del pensamiento histórico, como competencia transversal deseable dentro del perfil de egreso de cualquier licenciatura.

Authors: Arifin Budiman  Nur , Mustofa Akhmad , Widanti Yannie Asrie
Published: October 2023

Rice is the main product obtained from grain produced by the rice plant (Oryza sativa) whose entire layer has been peeled off and the bran layer has been separated in the form of head rice, whole rice grains, broken rice, and groats. There are several types of pigmented rice such as brown rice, black rice and black glutinous rice. These kinds of rice have not been utilized optimally so that a processing process is needed to increase the economic value of the colored rice. One of the processing is made as flour so that it is durable and easy to distribute and flour can be used as a food processing material that is practical, easy and durable. One of the processed rice is rice flour. Colored rice flour is the result of processing brown rice, black rice and black glutinous rice by milling or flouring. This study aims to determine the optimal temperature in the manufacture of colored rice flour in order to obtain colored rice flour which has high antioxidant activity and high anthocyanins. The result of flouring is in the form of very fine grains. Flour has a low water content so it is more durable and long lasting. In order to reduce the moisture content, drying is carried out. The study used a completely randomized design (RAL) consisting of 2 factors. The first factor was the type of colored rice, while the second factor was the drying temperature of rice flour. The optimal treatment results were a combination of black glutinous rice flour treatment and a drying temperature of 45°C for 60 minutes, the following results were obtained: water content 7.44%, antioxidant activity by DPPH method 69.89%, antioxidant activity by FRAP method 81.35%, yield 25.29%, total phenol 175.85 mg/kg, and anthocyanin levels 327.10 ppm. Changes in temperature during the drying process of colored rice will affect the characteristics of the colored rice.

Authors: Johannes Albert
Published: October 2023

Abstrak

Indonesia is the sixth country with the highest number of Diabetes Mellitus sufferers in the world. One way to control blood sugar levels is to regulate a DM diet by consuming foods high in fiber and antioxidants. Snack bars are very suitable as a snack for DM sufferers. This research aims to obtain a formulation and determine the effect of adding corn flour on the antioxidant activity and dietary fiber of snack bars with the best substitutes for corn flour and spirulina flour. Research Method: This research is an experimental type of research using a completely randomized design (CRD) with independent variables in the form of a comparison of the composition of corn flour, namely F1 = corn flour 33.3% and spirulina flour 8.3%; F2= 50% corn flour and 8.3% spirulina flour and 8.3% spirulina flour; F3= 66.67% corn flour and 8.3% spirulina flour. The snack bar formulation uses wheat flour, corn flour, spirulina flour, eggs, margarine, Diabetasol powdered milk and Tropicana sugar. The steps in the procedure for making a snack bar are the preparation process, mixing process, forming or molding process, oven process, then letting it sit and serving. The analyzes used are organoleptic, antioxidant analysis, dietary fiber analysis, proximate analysis. The formulation that was acceptable to the panelists was the F3 formulation with the addition of 66.67% corn flour and 8.3% spirulina flour. The use of corn flour and the addition of spirulina flour in snack bars can increase the content of dietary fiber (9%) and antioxidants (36.16%). Comparison with the standard quality of snack bars for diets, F3 snack bars contain protein (7.89%), carbohydrates (50.38%), ash (1.2%), fat (15.20%), and energy (365 .35). The fat, carbohydrate, dietary fiber and mineral content meets the SNI 014216-1996 and USDA 5048 quality standards, while the protein content is still lacking.
A Socio-Semiotics Analysis of Names in Abejoye: A Yoruba Christian Video Film
Authors: Taiwo Adekemi Agnes , Adeoye Jelili Adewale
Published: October 2023

Naming is an integral part of Yorùbá culture. It has an identity effects on the bearers. It is also believed that names control the actions and conducts of the bearers. The Yorùbá  film producers are always careful and conversant with the fact that names given to their character must reflect in their characterization because orúkọ ọmọ ní í ro ọmọ ‘name has effects on a child’. The script writer, Mike Bamiloye, uses the name to draw a sketch of the attitudes, behavior and stature of the characters. This study therefore interrogates the socio-semiotic interpretation of names given to selected characters in Yorùbá Christian film, Àbẹ̀joyè. It also examines the names given to individual character, family and town. The paper concludes that the Yorùbá philosophical beliefs in names reflect in the selected Christian movie despite the fact that Christianity abhors traditional beliefs; the cultural aspects cannot be underestimated. The film, Àbẹ̀joyè, which serves as our data source is produced by Mount Zion Film Productions, Nigeria and Flaming Sword Film Productions, Texas in 2020-2023. Bamiloye’s unique and stylish way of naming characters show his dexterity in Yorùbá literature which always portrays and projects her culture through the creative way of assigning name to characters. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on Yorùbá Christian film and names among Yorùbá people
Primary Elements Impacted by the Risk of Disappearance and Deterioration of the Betawi Language in the Community
Authors: Iskandarsyah Siregar  , Arju Susanto
Published: October 2023

The Betawi language, akin to many global languages, is on the brink of fading due to various factors, one being the evolution of civilization. This decline jeopardizes several facets of the native Betawi culture. Hence, efforts to maintain and preserve the Betawi language are imperative. The challenge lies in understanding the extensive scope of Betawi's linguistic and textual context. Thus, it's crucial to develop a targeted strategy that pinpoints the primary elements influenced by the degradation and endangerment of the language, particularly in the Betawi community. This study identifies these elements after extensive on-field research, spanning over a year with round-the-clock observations. The research found that a sociological qualitative analysis, especially focusing on society's social evaluation, is the most effective method. Consequently, five key areas were identified to analyze the repercussions of the language's decline: linguistic aspects, individual identity, inter-generational communication, knowledge transfer, and economic implications

Difficult to Create But Easy to Reject: The Case of ICC Rejection by the AU
Authors: Paul S. Masumbe
Published: October 2023

Even though the creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) was greatly welcomed by African states, the prosecution of mostly African state officials by the Court since its creation has sparked animosity between the ICC and the African Union (AU), leading to the rejection of the Court’s perceived bias activities in the Africa continent. While it is legally justifiable for the Prosecutor of the ICC to prosecute African state officials, partly because the Court has jurisdiction to entertain crimes committed by African state officials and also because 33 states in Africa have ratified the Rome Statute, it is legitimately inappropriate for the Prosecutor of the ICC to prosecute mostly African state officials given the fact that the ICC has jurisdiction to entertain similar crimes committed in other continents of the world. Accordingly, not all cases and situation prosecuted by the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the ICC that are legally justifiable are legitimate.  After discussing the creation of the ICC, this article will examine whether it was legally and legitimately justifiable for the Prosecutor of the ICC to target mostly African state officials for almost two decades and whether the creation of the African Criminal Court (ACC) is the African panacea as a consequence of the alleged bias between the ICC and the AU regarding the prosecution of African state officials.

Published: October 2023

Despite the high prevalence rate of tuberculosis infection in Malaysia, calcaneal tuberculosis (TB) is rare. In this article, we present a case of a 53-year-old Malay female who initially presented with left calcaneal swelling for 3 months. Surgical drainage was performed and affected calcaneal was biopsied for histological examination which findings reported as consistent with tuberculosis infection. Further history revealed concomitant respiratory symptoms with the diagnosis of disseminated TB is supported by positive Mantoux test, detection of Acid-Fast bacilli in sputum and CT imaging showing lung and vertebral involvement. Anti-tuberculosis medication is the first line of treatment in calcaneal TB and surgery is usually reserved for patient with severe, intractable disease.

Published: October 2023

Background: Bangladesh is a major contributor to the global problem of typhoid fever, which is predominantly caused by Salmonella typhi. This is due to Bangladesh’s subpar healthcare standards, inadequate cleanliness standards, and inappropriate and excessive use of antibiotics.
Objective: Salmonella typhi antibiotic resistance and the current situation of typhoid fever in Bangladesh were the subjects of this systematic review. Methodology: Finding publications about Salmonella typhi in Bangladesh published between 2015 and 2020 required searching Google Scholar, PubMed, and Bangladesh Journals Online with pertinent keywords. A predetermined set of criteria determined who would be included or excluded.
Results: Initially,50 articles were retrieved. Using PRISMA flow chart 5 were selected for the study. Through forest plot, the overall effect size is found 0.28 which is represented by a diamond with confidence interval of 0.06 – 0.50. Since the confidence interval does not cross the threshold of no impact, the p value is 0.00. We can conclude that the overall effect is statistically significant. Microsoft excel was used to figure out the trend of antibiotic resistance. The effect size of an article was 0.08 (95%CI 0.05 – 0.11) and weighted 20.44%. Another study was reported with the effect size of 0.07 (95%CI 0.00 – 0.14) and weighted 20.07%.
Conclusions: S. typhi was shown to be quite prevalent, and there were also significant surveillance and data gaps in the research’ methodological data.

Published: October 2023

Biomass can be converted into either heat energy or electrical or energy carriers using both thermo-chemical and bio-chemical conversion. Briquetting is a process where untreated biomass is converted into homogeneous, uniformly sized high density solid blocks. Briquettes are used in boilers, heating plants, thermal power stations and by individual households for heating. Present study focuses on using poultry manure with rice husk and saw dust. Poultry manure mixed with rice husk or saw dust by 60:40 ratio provides comparatively higher bond strength. Calorific value varies significantly with the use of poultry manure and tree leaves as well as its production cost. Pure rice husk contains higher calorific value (HCV) 12.6 MJ/Kg where adding poultry manure reduces its value to 10.3 MJ/Kg and Saw dust shows 10.4 MJ/Kg where pure saw dust has 16.3 MJ/Kg in 60:40 ratios with poultry manure. Addition of 20% tree leaves on weight basis ratio of 40:40:20 with base materials and poultry manure shows 10.5 MJ/Kg and 11.7 MJ/Kg respectively for rice husk and saw dust. Competitive price of briquette for 60:40 ratios with Poultry Manure shows 6 BDT/Kg and 5BDT/Kg when secondary material is added. Moreover, if the machine capacity increases the price is reduced.

INTERMEDIATION AND SUSTAINABLE FINANCIAL SYSTEM STABILITY AMIDST THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Wahyu Sentosa Perdana
Published: October 2023

This review aims to analyze the function of internalization and stabilization of the monetary-finance sector for the sustainability of financial system stability during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The Covid-19 pandemic caused a deep recession in the national economy and a significant drop in the capital market index. Policy uncertainty over handling the pandemic and the continued emergence of various variants of Covid-19 exacerbated economic conditions. Bank Indonesia (BI) made several monetary policies to complement the policies taken by the government to maintain sustainability during the Covid-19 pandemic. Strengthening financial stability and supporting the intermediation recovery policy strengthens the monetary sector's sustainability and stabilization so that banks do not experience excessive pressure during Covid-19 and remain profitable. These perspectives were tested in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the Indonesian banking and financial stability industry has shown sustainability in the last two years. On the other hand, the competition stability in the Covid-19 pandemic approach assumes that the borrower side of the relationship must be considered. Banks can charge exorbitant interest rates in collusive markets, increasing the cost of borrowing for businesses and triggering the moral hazard problem. Specifically for ASEAN and Indonesia, as a result of the recent global financial crisis in 2020, BI implemented expansionary monetary and fiscal policies in response to the crisis to stabilize its economies.
