Published: May 2024

Higher education is a legal entity that represents the government to serve society optimally. This research aims to identify, understand and manage risks that can hinder the achievement of organizational goals in terms of organizing higher education. This study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive type. Research subjects were taken from leaders and employees in the Directorate of Planning and Finance, Directorate of General Affairs, Resources and Law. Directorate of Research and Community Service, Directorate of Cooperation, Information Systems, Innovation and Business, Quality Assurance Directorate, Internal Supervisory Unit, Vocational Faculty. Subject selection was carried out using a purposive technique using considerations of feasibility and competency related to the themes studied in this research. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and interviews. The data that was collected was analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis techniques. This risk register management is a document that functions to identify, understand and manage risks that can hinder the achievement of organizational goals. The structured risks are a development of the risk mapping that was prepared during the previous program. Risks that have been identified are not risks that are fixed (given). The risks referred to can change, increase, or even decrease according to the conditions faced by the organization. Communication in efforts to update risk data in risk register management is still very necessary as an effort to enrich the types and impacts of these risks on the organization.

Published: May 2024

Purpose: The study aims to address the gap in understanding the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and vestibular dysfunction, particularly focusing on how T2DM may affect the tuning of the vestibular system. Specifically, the investigation aims to explore the impact of stimulus parameters, particularly stimulus frequency, on ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (oVEMP) in individuals with T2DM.Methods: A case-control study design was used, utilizing non-probability sampling. All participants underwent routine audiological and vestibular evaluations before inclusion in the study. oVEMP’s were compared across 40 healthy individuals (group A) and 40 individuals with T2DM (group B) at 500 Hz, 1 KHz, and 2 KHz.Results: In group A, all 80 participants exhibited oVEMP responses across all frequencies in both ears, while in group B, consisting of individuals with T2DM, response rates were slightly lower, ranging from 70% to 77.5% across frequencies. Statistical analysis revealed significant amplitude differences at all frequencies tested in type 2 diabetic ears compared to healthy ears, although amplitude remained consistent within type 2 diabetic ears. Latencies (first negative [N1] and first positive [P1]) were consistent across groups, with delays observed in P1 latency, particularly noticeable at higher frequencies, both in healthy and type 2 diabetic ears. Gender didn't affect oVEMP frequency dynamics in any of the groups.Conclusion: Diabetes may create an impact in the functioning of otolith organs, the vestibular branch of eighth cranial nerve, and their innervations. VEMP evaluates both the sacculo-collic and utriculo-ocular pathways to detect changes in the functions of vestibular organs. Therefore, it's crucial to consider diabetes when conducting vestibular diagnosis or treatment.

Authors: Kim Ja Hee , Lee Hyo-Jeong
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate cortical structural and connectivity changes in the auditory system due to the absence of unilateral input signals from the hearing-impaired ear in patients with unilateral hearing loss. Twenty-seven patients who have severe to profound unilateral hearing loss participated. T-1 images were acquired to calculate the normalized cortcial volume (nCV), and seed-based connectivity analysis was performed. It was shown that the nCV of Te 3.0 was decreased in the left unilateral hearing loss (LUHL). In LUHL group, a significant structural correlation was observed between region of interests (ROIs) within the auditory cortices of bilateral hemispheres, while right unilateral hearing loss (RUHL) group showed significant correlation between thalamus and auditory cortical regions. We proposed that cortical structural reorganization in unilateral hearing loss patients, that is different by deafness side. These results are expected to be related to individual binaural hearing performance in unilateral hearing loss.

Published: May 2024

A rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is Bellini collecting duct carcinoma, also known as medullary renal carcinoma or distal nephron carcinoma, which accounts for 0.4-2.0% of all RCC cases. This subtype has the poorest prognosis of all RCC subtypes, typically presenting as a low-grade tumor at the pT3 or higher stage. Consequently, many patients have distant metastases at diagnosis and 60% develop metastases following radical treatment. There have been approximately 400 literature-reported cases of Bellini ductal carcinoma to date. We present a case report of a patient with early-stage Bellini duct cancer and a literature review of published reports on this condition.

Published: May 2024

Spontaneous rupture of the renal pyelocalyceal system (PCS) is a rare condition that can be challenging to diagnose. Unlike traumatic injuries, this condition is not easily identiﬁed based on clinical symptoms, anamnesis, or physical examination ﬁndings. However, in most cases, PCS rupture is a result of underlying medical conditions. Surgical intervention for ruptured PCS should aim to immediately drain the kidney and the retroperitoneal area. This report aims to illustrate a clinical case involving treatment of a patient with spontaneously ruptured PCS.

Published: May 2024

Introduction. To date, there has been insuﬃcient research into the prostate volume as a factor that may inﬂuence the eﬀectiveness and safety of surgical treatments. With the advent of relatively new laser techniques, it is important to take a closer look at this parameter, especially considering the success of these techniques in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) of various volumes.

Objective. To assess the functional outcomes and postoperative complications of holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) depending on its volume.

Materials & Methods. We performed a prospective study of HoLEP on 252 patients. Patients were divided into two groups according to their prostate volume: Group I included 206 patients (81%) with a prostate volume of < 100 mL, and Group II included 46 patients (19%) with a prostate volume ≥ 100 mL.

Results. The prostate volume was the most signiﬁcant prognostic factor regarding duration of surgery. This indicator signiﬁcantly diﬀered between the two groups. Group I had an average surgery time of 67.1 ± 26.7 minutes, while Group II had a time of 98.1 ± 24.2 minutes (p < 0.05). There were no signiﬁcant diﬀerences in the number of complications between the groups — 36 cases (17.5%) in Group I and 12 cases (26%) in Group II, as well as functional results of urination between the groups. In the early postoperative period, the Q max in Group I was 17.4 ± 9.1 ml/s, in Group II — 18.2 ± 10.9 ml/s (p > 0.05), PVR — 52 ± 39.4 and 56 ± 31.8 ml (p > 0.05), respectively. After 3 months of observation, there were also no diﬀerences in the studied parameters: IPSS — 5.7 ± 4.1 vs 6.2 ± 4.9 points; QoL — 1.0 ± 0.9 vs 1.1 ± 0.9 points; Q max — 18.9 ± 6.7 vs 20.3 ± 11.5 ml/s; PVR — 53.5 ± 33.1 vs 54.9 ± 30.6 ml (p > 0.05).

Conclusion. HoLEP is an eﬀective and safe method of treating patients with diﬀerent volumes of BPH. However, the duration of the procedure is an important factor that inﬂuences the surgery outcome, as it correlates with the prostate volume.

Introduction. The most advanced and eﬀective method of surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is transurethral laser enucleation of the prostate (tLEP). Recently, there has been a growing interest in exploring new approaches to reduce the risk of complications following tLEP.

Objective. To evaluate the eﬃcacy of using Phlogenzym® as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for patients following tLEP to reduce dysuria (urinary discomfort), leukocyturia (white blood cells in urine), and prevent infectious and ﬁbrosis-related complications.

Materials & methods. An open-label, randomized trial enrolled 105 patients undergoing tLEP. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the study group (n=50) received standard postoperative care in combination with Phlogenzym® for 30 days, while the control group (n=55) received standard care (α1-adrenergic blocker for 28 days) only. uring the follow-up period, which lasted for 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively, complaints were evaluated using the IPSS-QoL, and IIEF-5 questionnaires, as well as indicators of urinalysis and urine culture, prostate volume measurements, residual urine volume, and uroﬂowmetry data.

Results. Among all patients, the median preoperative values for prostate volume, IPSS, QoL score, and median peak urine ﬂow rate were 90 cc, 18 points, 5 points, and 7.9 mL/s, respectively, with no signiﬁcant diﬀerences between the groups. One month after surgery, in the study group, there was a more signiﬁcant decrease in prostate volume (57% vs. 41%), although this diﬀerence was not statistically signiﬁcant (p > 0.05). At the 6-month follow-up, bacteriuria was less common in the study group (42% vs. 67%), and there was a consistent trend toward a reduction in the incidence of ﬁbrous complications, although these diﬀerences were not statistically signiﬁcant either (p > 0.05). No adverse events occurred during the follow-up period.

Conclusion. Our experience suggests that the use of Phlogenzym® is safe during the postoperative period following tLEP surgery. The use of this drug leads to a reduction in prostate volume postoperatively and signiﬁcantly reduces the bacteriuria by the six-month follow-up. Additionally, there is a persistent positive trend towards reducing the overall incidence of ﬁbrotic complications in the surgical site. The results achieved and the absence of signiﬁcant side eﬀects characterize Phlogenzym® as having a favorable clinical proﬁle.

Authors: Mukhtarov Sh. T. , Giyasov Sh. I. , Yuldashev J. M.
Published: May 2024

Introduction. Current evidence suggests that management of any grade of varicocele can improve male fertility. However, diagnosis of grade 1 varicocele in infertile men without the use of scrotal Doppler ultrasound may cause overtreatment.

Objective. To study the comparability and accuracy of the visual palpatory examination method with the scrotal Doppler ultrasound data for the diagnosis of varicocele.

Material & methods. Between November 2005 to January 2022, 2871 patients diagnosed with varicocele and infertility who underwent microsurgical varicocelectomy by inguinal access were examined at RSSPMCU. The average age of the patients was 30.16 ± 0.09 (18 – 60) years. Of the 2871 patients, 2592 (90.3%) were diagnosed by physical examination, and 279 (9.7%) patients underwent additional scrotal Dopper ultrasound.

Results. After Doppler scrotal imaging was introduced into practice, the proportion of patients with bilateral varicocele increased from 32.2% to 61.6% (p < 0.01). The proportion of patients with right-sided varicocele also increased signiﬁcantly. Experienced physicians during physical examination of infertility patients did not diagnose grade 1 varicocele in 4.3%.

Conclusions. The implementation of scrotal Doppler ultrasound for the diagnosis of male infertility improved the detection of grade 1 varicocele and bilateral varicocele. In turn, this contributed to earlier elimination of the male factor of infertility in this contingent of patients.
Open, laparoscopic, and robotic techniques for partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma: a comparison of outcomes based on "trifecta" and "pentafecta" criteria
Authors: Seregin A. A. , Seregin A. V. , Kolontarev K. B. , Pushkar D. Yu. , Loran O. B.
Published: May 2024

Introduction. There is a dearth of literature comparing the three modalities of partial nephrectomy – open, laparoscopic, and robotic – based on two contemporary criteria, “trifecta” and “pentafecta”. This scarcity justiﬁes the signiﬁcance of this study.

Objective. To conduct a comparative evaluation of the outcomes of the three methods of partial nephrectomy, assessed against the criteria of “trifecta” and “pentafecta”.

Materials & Methods. The prospective study included 600 patients with renal cell cancer from 2018 to 2022. partial nephrectomy was performed using open (200 patients), laparoscopic (200 patients) and robotic (200 patients) techniques. Outcomes were assessed by “trifecta” (negative surgical margin; warm ischemia time ≤ 25 minutes or without ischemia; no ≥ Clavien-Dindo III grade postoperative complications within 3 months after surgery) and “pentafecta” (“trifecta”, ≥ 90% estimated glomerular ﬁltration rate preservation and no chronic kidney disease stage upgrading 12 months after surgery).

Results. The “trifecta” outcome was achieved in 82%, 89%, and 84% of cases, respectively, using open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches. No signiﬁcant diﬀerences in outcomes were found between these methods (p > 0.05), according to this criterion. The “pentafecta” outcome was achieved in 53%, 64%, and 66% of cases using the same three approaches, respectively. Signiﬁcant diﬀerences in outcomes between the open approach and the minimally invasive techniques were observed (p < 0.05) based on this criterion. For tumors that were considered easier to resect (R.E.N.A.L. 4 – 6 score), the highest “pentafecta” rates were observed with laparoscopic and robotic procedures. For tumors with moderate complexity (R.E.N.A.L. 7 – 9 score), open surgery resulted in the poorest outcomes, which were signiﬁcantly diﬀerent from those of robotic partial nephrectomy (p < 0.05). The laparoscopic approach yielded the poorest results for the most complex tumors (R.E.N.A.L. 10 – 12 score).

Conclusions. In general, all three methods of partial nephrectomy produce the same outcome according to the “trifecta”, but according to the “pentafecta” better results may be achieved using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic and robotic procedures). Robotic partial nephrectomy should be considered as the method of choice for high-scored R.E.N.A.L. and cT1 – cT2 tumours.

Published: May 2024

Background

The relationship between educational outcomes and the use of web-based clinical knowledge support systems in teaching hospitals remains unknown in Japan. A previous study on this topic could have been affected by recall bias because of the use of a self-reported questionnaire.

Objective

We aimed to explore the relationship between the use of the Wolters Kluwer UpToDate clinical knowledge support system in teaching hospitals and residents’ General Medicine In-Training Examination (GM-ITE) scores. In this study, we objectively evaluated the relationship between the total number of UpToDate hospital use logs and the GM-ITE scores.

Methods

This nationwide cross-sectional study included postgraduate year–1 and –2 residents who had taken the examination in the 2020 academic year. Hospital-level information was obtained from published web pages, and UpToDate hospital use logs were provided by Wolters Kluwer. We evaluated the relationship between the total number of UpToDate hospital use logs and residents’ GM-ITE scores. We analyzed 215 teaching hospitals with at least 5 GM-ITE examinees and hospital use logs from 2017 to 2019.

Results

The study population consisted of 3013 residents from 215 teaching hospitals with at least 5 GM-ITE examinees and web-based resource use log data from 2017 to 2019. High-use hospital residents had significantly higher GM-ITE scores than low-use hospital residents (mean 26.9, SD 2.0 vs mean 26.2, SD 2.3; P=.009; Cohen d=0.35, 95% CI 0.08-0.62). The GM-ITE scores were significantly correlated with the total number of hospital use logs (Pearson r=0.28; P<.001). The multilevel analysis revealed a positive association between the total number of logs divided by the number of hospital physicians and the GM-ITE scores (estimated coefficient=0.36, 95% CI 0.14-0.59; P=.001).

Conclusions

The findings suggest that the development of residents’ clinical reasoning abilities through UpToDate is associated with high GM-ITE scores. Thus, higher use of UpToDate may lead physicians and residents in high-use hospitals to increase the implementation of evidence-based medicine, leading to high educational outcomes.

Published: May 2024

UNSTRUCTURED

The number of papers presenting machine learning (ML) models that are being submitted to and published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research and other JMIR Publications journals has steadily increased. Editors and peer reviewers involved in the review process for such manuscripts often go through multiple review cycles to enhance the quality and completeness of reporting. The use of reporting guidelines or checklists can help ensure consistency in the quality of submitted (and published) scientific manuscripts and, for example, avoid instances of missing information. In this Editorial, the editors of JMIR Publications journals discuss the general JMIR Publications policy regarding authors’ application of reporting guidelines and specifically focus on the reporting of ML studies in JMIR Publications journals, using the Consolidated Reporting of Machine Learning Studies (CREMLS) guidelines, with an example of how authors and other journals could use the CREMLS checklist to ensure transparency and rigor in reporting.
Improving the Prognostic Evaluation Precision of Hospital Outcomes for Heart Failure Using Admission Notes and Clinical Tabular Data: Multimodal Deep Learning Model (Preprint)
Authors: Gao Zhenyue , Liu Xiaoli , Kang Yu , Hu Pan , Zhang Xiu , Yan Wei , Yan Muyang , Yu Pengming , Zhang Qing , Xiao Wendong , Zhang Zhengbo
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

Clinical notes contain contextualized information beyond structured data related to patients’ past and current health status.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to design a multimodal deep learning approach to improve the evaluation precision of hospital outcomes for heart failure (HF) using admission clinical notes and easily collected tabular data.

METHODS

Data for the development and validation of the multimodal model were retrospectively derived from 3 open-access US databases, including the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III v1.4 (MIMIC-III) and MIMIC-IV v1.0, collected from a teaching hospital from 2001 to 2019, and the eICU Collaborative Research Database v1.2, collected from 208 hospitals from 2014 to 2015. The study cohorts consisted of all patients with critical HF. The clinical notes, including chief complaint, history of present illness, physical examination, medical history, and admission medication, as well as clinical variables recorded in electronic health records, were analyzed. We developed a deep learning mortality prediction model for in-hospital patients, which underwent complete internal, prospective, and external evaluation. The Integrated Gradients and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) methods were used to analyze the importance of risk factors.

RESULTS

The study included 9989 (16.4%) patients in the development set, 2497 (14.1%) patients in the internal validation set, 1896 (18.3%) in the prospective validation set, and 7432 (15%) patients in the external validation set. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the models was 0.838 (95% CI 0.827-0.851), 0.849 (95% CI 0.841-0.856), and 0.767 (95% CI 0.762-0.772), for the internal, prospective, and external validation sets, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the multimodal model outperformed that of the unimodal models in all test sets, and tabular data contributed to higher discrimination. The medical history and physical examination were more useful than other factors in early assessments.

CONCLUSIONS

The multimodal deep learning model for combining admission notes and clinical tabular data showed promising efficacy as a potentially novel method in evaluating the risk of mortality in patients with HF, providing more accurate and timely decision support.

Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a common neurological disorder in older patients and the immediate outcomes of surgery for CSDH are satisfactory. However, the evidence for subperiosteal drainage (SPD) versus subdural drainage (SDD) in CSDH remains controversial. In this study, we aimed to assess the latest evidence on the use of SPD versus SDD in patients with CSDH who underwent burr-hole evacuation.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to assess the latest evidence on the use of SPD versus SDD in patients with CSDH who underwent burr-hole evacuation.

METHODS

We performed a systematic literature search on the use of SPD compared with that of SDD in patients with CSDH in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane online databases from inception until December 2021. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined for eligible studies. A fixed-effects model was used when homogeneity was observed.

RESULTS

A total of 1013 participants from six studies were included. There were no significant differences in the recurrence rate (odds ratios [OR], 0.87; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61–1.26; I2=0%; P = 0.47) or the mortality rate (P=0.89) between the SPD and SDD groups. Additionally, various characteristics, including the rate of subsequent seizures (P = 0.74), sex distribution (P = 0.37), and favorable clinical outcome rates (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.74–1.72; I2=0%; P = 0.58), were similar between the two groups. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the effects of antithrombotic agents between the two groups (P = 0.12).

CONCLUSIONS

There were no differences in recurrence rates, sex distribution, postoperative mortality, seizures, favorable outcomes (modified Rankin scale score: 0–3), or effects of antithrombotic agents between the SPD and SDD groups. These findings suggest that SPD and SDD are equally effective in treating patients with CSDH.

SMEs fintech financing: does board governance matter?
Authors: Zakaria Zuriawati , Kuah Yoke Chin
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the board governance factors that influence a small and medium enterprise’s (SME’s) decision toward fintech financing. A structured questionnaire survey of 90 Malaysian SMEs was used and the data analyzed using the Heckman selection model and the marginal effect model. The results demonstrate that SMEs’ female board members, family board members, and the duality of their CEOs have a significant influence on their decision to obtain financing from fintech platforms. Professional services provided by experts have a negative influence on their decisions to engage in fintech financing. The SMEs’ board size, the length of their chairmen’s service, and non-family board members are negatively related to their decisions to apply for financing. The more male members that were on the board, the more likely the SME was to choose to apply for external financing during the survey year.

Published: May 2024

Mobile payment is a fascinating innovation, developed by the banking and fintech industries. It is growing very fast, shadowing the popularity of smartphones in Indonesia. However, the continuance usage intention of mobile payment still needs to be determined. Based on prior studies, this study investigates trust as an important factor in promoting the m-payment continuance usage intention.Furthermore, drawing upon the innovation diffusion theory, the study uses the model by Shao et al. (2019) to investigate the antecedents of trust: mobility, customization, security, and reputation, and analyzes the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between trust and its antecedents. It also examines the impact of trust on the perceived risk and continuance intention; and the perceived risk on the continuance intention. The postulated links between the variables were tested using a survey design. With 225 respondents who are e-wallet users in Indonesia, the study finds a positive effect of reputation, security, and customization on trust. Trust positively influences continuance intention, while the link between trust and perceived risk is negative. Compared to the previous study by Shao et al. (2019), the current study finds insignificant relationships between mobility and trust, as well as between the perceived risk and continuance intention. Furthermore, there was no moderating effect of gender on the relationship between trust and its antecedents.

Published: May 2024

Complaint behavior is a response to consumer dissatisfaction after using goods or services. This study aimed to examine the effect of ethnicity and people’s generations on consumer complaint behavior in Indonesia. The variables used were complaint behavior, ethnicity, and generations. The study collected and analyzed 2,100 items of data using descriptive analysis, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. The findings showed that consumers in Indonesia rarely complain when disappointed with sellers. Generation Y and the Buginese complained more often than other consumer groups. Furthermore, the results showed significant differences in complaint behavior, based on ethnicity and generation. This study also revealed that complaint behavior was significantly influenced by ethnicity and the baby boomer generation.

Authors: Vem Linus Jonathan , Eshue Patrick Ojei , Ramayah Thurasamy
Published: May 2024

Evidence from the literature reveals that customer loyalty research is growing and is becoming more widely integrated into related disciplines. This study evaluates the role of sales representatives’ cultural intelligence (CI) in the behavioral loyalty (BL) of customers of SMEs in Nigeria, through the mechanism of customer involvement (CuI). Two sets of questionnaires were administered directly to the sales representatives, and indirectly to the customers, via the sales representatives. Three hundred and fifty copies of the sales representatives’ questionnaire were administered, based on the population of 65 manufacturing SMEs and an average of 5.4 copies per SME, while 384 copies of the customers’ questionnaire were sent to the unknown pool of customers. Data were col- lected from the two sets of respondents, which were analyzed through a variance-based structural equation modeling using Smart-PLS software. The results reveal a positive and significant relationship between cultural intelligence and behavioral loyalty, while the in- direct relationship reveals customer involvement does strongly mediate the relationship between the antecedent and the outcome. The findings imply that behavioral loyalty is engendered when sales representatives possess high cultural intelligence, and customers are strategically involved through consultations and product co-creation.

One of the impacts of the rapid development of information and technology (IT) in the archives sector is the presence of an electronic records management system (ERMS). Many ERMS has been developed, but not all of them have been successfully implemented. One important factor in its implementation is user acceptance. User acceptance influences user intentions when using an ERMS application. One of the ERMS is the Naskah Dinas Elektronik (Nadine) application atthe Ministry of Finance, which was implemented five years ago but has not yet been tested for user acceptance. This research was conducted to analyze the factors involved in accepting Nadine's application at the General Bureau as Centre Archives of the Ministry of Finance through the technology acceptance model (TAM). The research method used was quantitativedescriptive, with questionnaires distributed to 72 respondents using the Nadine application at the General Bureau. The data obtained was processed using a non-parametric statistical method, namelypartial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The research results show that system quality factors, user training factors, and facility conditions significantly influence user intentions when using the Nadine application. Perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness show a positive correlation with intention to use. Perceived usefulness has a significant direct influence on intention to use, while perceived ease of use has an indirect influence on intention to use through perceived usefulness. The implications of this research provide suggestions for policymakers to improve the quality of implementation of the Nadine application by improving system quality, providing training programs, and providing adequate facilities. This research can also be used to explore factors that influence users' intentions to accept ERMS, especially perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use.

Business information systems, namely electronic-based service applications usually don't automatically provide active archive filing features for electronic records generated from the business information system. Electronic Records are information contained in electronic files and media, which are created, received, or maintained by organizations or individuals and store them as evidence of activities. Like conventional records, electronic records that are created must be filed systematically and logically according to the context of their activities so that they become one file that has information relationships, similar types or similar problems. Student academic administration services at FMIPA IPB produce "born electronic" records. This study aims to design file automation on all electronic records created in the online academic administration service of FMIPA IPB students. The data collection method uses a literature study model, literature and interviews. The design technique of the electronic records filing system uses a waterfall model, while the system testing technique uses the black box technique. The results of the study produced an electronic records filing automation feature in the academic administration service FMIPA IPB so that it can assist organizations in filing electronic records in the academic section and automation of providing the list of active records.

Service quality is very important, because its role is related to the interests of users, both the interests of internal and external users as a whole. This research aims to determine the level of satisfaction and performance assessment of archive services. The data collection method uses a literature study model and questionnaires. Data analysis uses primary data obtained from the results of questionnaire analysis, and secondary data obtained from a literature review. Respondents in this research were education staff, lecturers and students. The level of satisfaction with the quality of archival services at the IPB College of Vocational Studies based on CSI analysis was 81.76%, indicating that in general respondents were very satisfied with the quality of archival services. The results of the suitability analysis show that the relationship between expectations and the quality of archival services shows the highest gap in indicator A3(-0.502), where respondents expect the complete availability of required records, and the lowest gap in indicator Y3 (-0.364), namely staff politeness and the information provided is clearly understood. The conformity level of 90.24% indicates that the quality of archival services is considered good and service performance is in line with expectations. IPB College of Vocational Studies must consider human resource competency and ease of access. Human resourcecompetency, ease of access, is one of the issues that needs to be paid attention to by the IPB College of Vocational Studies. One of the managerial implications is increasing capabilities in the field of archives and recommendations for a comprehensively integrated system for IPB. It is hoped that researchers and stakeholders will accept development ideas and practical contributions in the form of strategic understanding and references.

S. H. Manto’s legendary contribution to partition of India
Authors: Padra Brahmananda , Suman Sanjay
Published: May 2024

The brutality and anguish of the Indian partition drastically altered the social and political development of the Indian subcontinent, and its effects can still be felt today. Along with the deaths and damage, the incident also left a lasting psychological scar on the minds of millions of individuals, particularly the minds of women and children. No writer of the time and its aftermath could escape the age of foolishness, the season of darkness and the time of despair. It is difficult to sweep beneath the rug actual acts of kidnapping, uprooting, train raids, trauma, Insanity, suicide, murder, and the acts of destruction. Both Hindus and Muslims on either side of the Borders, which were once porous and shared by the community, were impacted by the violent riots and massacres that followed. Many more people were displaced, endured poverty, were raped, were subjected to brutality, suffered bodily and mental anguish, and millions of people lost their lives. The bloody mayhem that occurred both during and after the partition drowned out the victims’ cries.Several writers, authors, and poets, including Saadat Hasan Manto, let these stifled voices be heard. Manto, an Indian-born Pakistani writer who immigrated to Pakistan after the country’s independence, brought the horrific facts of Partition to light clearly and uncomfortable. Indeed, the cataclysmic event of India's partition had a profound effect on the society, culture, and literature of the nation. That was a particular trauma that destroyed the lives of regular people. Manto’s representation of the partition violence pinches the intellect rather than appeal to the emotion. It is highly realistic and achieves remarkable objectivity, for it neither shows any biasedness for contending nationalisms of the traumatic times, nor hide own socialism or specific cultural visibility, nor any geographical, political or religious markers. It does not either present detailed characterization or grant the narrator hide authorial voice.
Exploring Gender, Sexuality and Cultural Understanding of Witchcraft in Nora Roberts “Dark Witch”, Melissa de la Cruz “Witches of East End” and Anne Rice “The Witching Hour”
Authors: Sahni Vaasvi , Saraswat Surbhi
Published: May 2024

This study explores the complex ways that three well-known novels—Anne Rice's "The Witching Hour," Melissa de la Cruz's "Witches of East End," and Nora Roberts' "Dark Witch"—present gender, sexuality, and cultural viewpoints on witchcraft. Every book is a different fusion of romance, fantasy, and fiction that incorporates witchcraft into a variety of cultural settings. The examination looks at how the writers deal with gender norms in the setting of witchcraft, with a focus on how they represent female protagonists and their autonomy in magical worlds. The study also examines how sexuality is portrayed, looking into how romantic and sexual interactions are portrayed in the context of witchcraft and whether these depictions upend or support conventional standards. A key component of every story is cultural awareness, with an emphasis on the ways in which the writers integrate mythology, folklore, and cultural customs pertaining to witchcraft. The impact of cultural circumstances on the identities and magical practices of the characters, as well as the cultural authenticity and sensitivity with which these elements are portrayed, are all closely examined in this study. This study attempts to provide light on the various ways that modern literature examines and explains gender relations, sexuality, and cultural understanding within the context of witchcraft by contrasting and analyzing these three books. The findings clarify the intricate interactions between fantasy components and actual cultural, gender, and sexual dynamics, adding to the larger conversation on representation and diversity in fiction.

Published: May 2024

This paper examines the three novellas of The Angel's Beauty Spots by K. R. Meera, which portray the triumphant stories of three tenacious women who overcame agonies and traumas to assert their identities in adverse surroundings. Meera's women draw attention to the voices of numerous unheard, emotionally neglected characters, and the purpose of this paper is to highlight how their strong-mindedness, premeditated thoughts, and unfeigned emotions helped them stand second to none in the engrossed minds of readers. Through her signature mark of creating power-packed lady dons, Meera announces to the world that physical strength does not match a person's intestinal fortitude, particularly a woman. The paper aims to show the efficacy of writing that ultimately makes the characters sensible, pleasant, still, a painful memory.
PEAKFORCE QUANTITATIVE NANOMECHANICAL MAPPING FOR SURFACE ENERGY CHARACTERIZATION ON THE NANOSCALE: A MINI-REVIEW
Authors: Ha Heebo , Müller Sebastian , Baumann Roelf-Peter , Hwang Byungil
Published: May 2024

Surface energy characterization is important to design the fabrication process of reliable electronic devices. Surface energy is influenced by various factors such as surface functionality and morphology. Owing to the high surface-to-volume ratio, surface energy at the nanoscale can be different from that of the bulk. However, the conventional methods for characterization of surface energy such as a sessile drop or Washburn methods cannot be used for nanoscale samples, owing to the limited volume for characterization. Recently, surface energy characterization on the nanoscale using atomic force microscopy (AFM) with Peak Force-Quantitative Nanomechanical Mapping (PF-QNM) imaging mode has been proposed. The nanoscale AFM tips measure the adhesion forces at the nanoscale, which are converted into surface energy through pre-calibrated curves. Successful surface energy characterization of nanoscale metal samples using AFM with the PF-QNM method has been reported previously. This mini-review discusses the recent progress on surface energy characterization at the nanoscale using AFM with the PF-QNM method. The fundamentals of the PF-QNM mode are introduced, and the results of surface energy characterization are summarized. Consequently, the future research direction for surface energy characterization at the nanoscale is discussed.

Published: May 2024

In coal mining, the myriad of factors influencing miners' attention to safety necessitates deeper exploration. Particularly, discerning the significance and interplay of these factors offers crucial insights into the actual disparities in miners' safety attentiveness. Yet, a limited number of comprehensive studies address this dimension. Thus, an advanced Decision Making Trial Evaluation Laboratory-Interpretive Structural Model (DEMATEL-ISM) has been employed to probe the determinants impacting coal miners' safety focus and the mechanisms underpinning these interactions. The objective is to provide strategies that could diminish the occurrence of minor accidents. Results revealed that there are 9 causative factors and 6 resultant factors shaping the coal miners' attention to safety. Within the structural model of these factors, three layers and seven levels were identified. Notably, the intricacy of relationships among these factors was found to be profound. Emphasis is recommended on the management of these intricate deep-level causative factors boasting high driving power, and mid-level resultant factors characterized by both substantial driving force and dependence.
