Ակնարկ Այաթոլլահ Ռուհոլլահ Խոմեյնիի «Վելայաթ-ե ֆաղիհի» հայեցակարգի շուրջ / An overview of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's concept of ''Velāyat-e faqīh''
Authors: Galstyan Shushanna  H.
Published: June 2024

The concept of 'Velāyat-e faqīh' as a form of Shia Islamic rule became popular after the Islamic revolution in Iran and is the most important and dominant institution in the system of governance of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Islamic revolution was a radical and far-reaching change in Iranian society, aimed at overthrowing the Shah and establishing a new system of government based on both Sharia and civil law. The political, economic, and cultural future of the state was determined by Shia clergy after the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini established a social society based on Islamic religious principles and developed a theory of state development. After the victory of the Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini put forward the theory of defending "Islamic power" as a religious priority, thereby strengthening the foundations of the religious state. The concept of 'velayat-e faqih' was an opportunity for a solution to the crisis of legitimate state authority in Shi'ism. It has enshrined in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran and is the basis of the state structure of the country and has the closest connection and similarity with the Imamate system.

Leadership Strategies in Building an Organizational Culture of Integrity to Maintain Domestic Security in the Era of Industrial Revolution 4.0 in Support of National Development
Authors: Indarto Indarto
Published: June 2024

This study examines efforts to build a culture of integrity within the Indonesian National Police (Polri) through leadership strategies, strengthening organizational structure, and optimizing leadership processes. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 1,735 respondents, comprising both police officers and civilians, as well as through five rounds of Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). The qualitative approach involved in-depth interviews and FGDs to understand behaviors related to integrity and ethical leadership, while the quantitative approach was conducted through questionnaire distribution to civilians. The research findings indicate that the public's perceptions of integrity in Indonesia are in line with the perception of polri members. However, there is a significant percentage of respondents stated that their leaders have shown concern for ethical values, conveyed ethical standards, set an example in integrity behavior, and courageously admitted mistakes, but the results of FGD reveal a gap between rhetoric and practice, and a lack of consistency in integrity behaviors. This study contributes valuable perspectives on fostering integrity within law enforcement organizations, with implications potentially extendable to other contexts facing similar challenges.

Introduction Despite extensive investigations into the roles of inflammatory biomarkers in the prognosis of COVID-19 through systematic reviews and meta-analyses, they are limited by small sample sizes and focus on a specific marker. This meta-analysis investigated the role of 11 inflammatory biomarkers in severity, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and mortality among COVID-19 patients. Methods Studies up to October 25, 2023, were identified through a search of Google Scholar, limited to human studies published in English. Inclusion criteria required confirmed COVID-19 cases diagnosed via reliable laboratory methods, original articles from eligible journals, proper grouping of severity status, ICU admission, or mortality outcomes, and presentation of continuous data in mean and standard deviation, median with range, or interquartile range. Results A total of 241 studies, comprising 79,934 cases of COVID-19, were included in this study. Albumin levels significantly declined in severe, ICU, and dead cases compared to mild, moderate, non-ICU, and survived cases (p<0.001). C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), ferritin, fibrinogen, Interleukin-6 (IL-6), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), procalcitonin, and white blood cell (WBC) were all significantly (p<0.001) increased and correlated with the severity of COVID-19. CRP, D-dimer, ferritin, fibrinogen, IL-6, LDH, NLR, procalcitonin, and WBC were all significantly (p<0.05) elevated and correlated with the risk of ICU admission (except fibrinogen) and mortality in COVID-19 in both fixed and random effects. Conclusion Inflammatory biomarkers like albumin, CRP, D-dimer, ferritin, IL-6, LDH, NLR, procalcitonin, and WBC all significantly impact severity status, ICU admission, and mortality in COVID-19.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Pneumomediastinum is a rare complication that occurs in patients with Pneumonia caused by COVID-19 and is more frequent in patients with ARDS that may or may not be related to the use of invasive mechanical ventilation. Pneumomediastinum is an indicator of clinical deterioration with potentially threatening consequences for the patient. Method: We described a case report of a 23-year-old man with Pneumomediastinum, infected with COVID-19 in conditions of respiratory failure due to interstitial pneumonia. Case presentation: A 23-year-old man, who had no pre-existing health conditions presented to the Infectious Diseases service with complaints of difficulty in breathing, dry cough, chest pain, muscle pain, joint pain, loss of taste, sore throat, pronounced body weakness, diarrhea. Symptoms started 11 days ago. On admission the patient refers that he doesn’t suffer from any other disease. The patient was not vaccinated against COVID-19. At the time of admission to the hospital, the objective examination revealed cervical subcutaneous emphysema and harsh respiration in both lungs. The nasopharyngeal swab test (RT-PCR) for Covid-19 was positive from the Institute of Public Health. The CT scan of the chest confirmed the presence of pneumomediastinum major, subcutaneous emphysema and bilateral ground glass opacities. Conclusion: Pneumomediastinum is a rare complication of pneumonia caused by Covid-19 in which the etiopathogenesis consists of severe pulmonary involvement that may or may not be affected using invasive mechanical ventilation. Timely diagnosis of pneumomediastinum in patients with Covid-19 would prevent the occurrence of life-threatening complications. Keywords: Covid-19, pneumomediastinum, ARDS, Macklin effect, vaccine.

One of the catastrophic diseases that is the focus of health insurance financing is kidney failure. Haemodialysis is a type of kidney replacement therapy for chronic kidney disease using special equipment. One method of financing haemodialysis procedures is the National Health Insurance Program. Hospitals, as health service providers for JKN participants, have an interest in the INACBG rates. Based on the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 3 of 2023 concerning Health Service Tariff Standards in the Implementation of the Health Insurance Program, there are changes to tariffs for haemodialysis services. With the current tariff changes, single-use and re-use services are divided into two different tariffs. The research was conducted at Siloam Hospital Bali. The data taken is secondary data originating from the Financial Division of Siloam Hospital Bali, the Medical Records Department of Siloam Hospital Bali, and the Haemodialysis Department of Siloam Hospital Bali during the period January–April 2023. The data collected and the hypothesis formulated in this research will be tested using the MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis of Variance) test method, using SPSS software. The research results show that there is a significant difference in total costs for re-use and single-use haemodialysis services; there is a significant difference in the total INACBG rates per patient for re-use and single-use haemodialysis services and there is no significant difference in the difference between INACBG rates and total costs in re-use and single-use haemodialysis services.
RESEARCH ON THE ATTITUDE OF YOUNG PEOPLE REGARDING THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF AGRICULTURE: A CASE STUDY OF SERBIA
Authors: Janaćković Marko , Dimitrijević Ognjen
Published: June 2024

Agriculture plays a crucial role in any economy. However, agricultural work is often regarded as unpopular, dirty and lacking prestige. As a consequence, young people frequently migrate from rural to urban areas in search of alternative activities. This study addresses the challenge of integrating youth into the agricultural workforce. The objective is to assess the reasons behind youth’s (un) willingness to engage in agricultural work, using Serbia as a case study. Data were collected through a questionnaire and 308 responses were analyzed with the help of Binary Logistic Regression. The findings indicate that the attitude of young individuals to engage in agricultural work is significantly shaped by area of residence, family involvement, ownership of rural property, the economic viability of the agricultural sector and concerns about long-term employment stability. A few positive and negative stereotypes were also identified. The findings underscore the imperative to attract young people to work in agriculture.

Published: June 2024

Serbia has gained international recognition for its fruit production, particularly establishing itself as one of the top five global producers and exporters in the raspberry sector. Given the highly intensive nature of raspberry production and the diverse range of producers, spanning from small farms to large corporate entities, research on the sustainability of production and future strategies has become increasingly important. The study explores the significance of economic, environmental, and social factors influencing raspberry producers’ practices. It also delves into their future production strategies, examining these aspects from the perspective of farmers. The findings derived from interviews with farmers reveal statistically significant differences between the two subsamples, namely formal and informal, across basic socio-economic and sustainability indicators, as well as in their anticipated future production strategies. The specific approaches and measures in achieving overall sustainability were emphasised in the concluding remarks.

Authors: Kotarac Đorđe , Stevanović Simo Veljko
Published: June 2024

The optimization of production processes leads to an increase in the volume of output from the primary sector, as an instrument to protect the population from crossing the border of extreme poverty. The Republic of Serbia is a traditional producer of primary products, as evidenced by the realized surplus in the net export of agricultural crops. In the period after global financial crisis, the Republic of Serbia achieved an above-average inflation rate growth, compared to the countries of the European Union. In this research, we detect a significant participation of products from agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining to reduce the volatility of product prices. The purpose of the research is to prove the causal relationship between the rate of inflation and the volume of production primary products. The methodological part was carried out through the evaluation of the model using econometric methods. The conclusion indicates a high correlation between the production of primary outputs and the rate of inflation in the Serbian economy.

Authors: Madžar Lidija , Stojiljković Jasmina , Todorov Janko
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this article is to assess the agricultural development of ten Southeast European (SEE) countries from the aspect of key environmental, economic and social indicators of agricultural sustainability management from 2011 to 2020. The article uses a Cross-section panel data Fixed Effects Model to identify relations between agricultural development in SEE countries and mentioned indicators of sustainable agricultural development management. The common sample of all SEE countries shows the economic sustainability, but also the environmental and social unsustainability of their agricultural systems. At a disaggregated level, the subsample of European Union (EU) membership candidate countries also yields the same findings. In contrast, the subsample of EU member states indicates all three dimensions of sustainability, with the exception of the aspect of using renewables. Therefore, both groups of countries should use renewables more intensively in order to contribute to the promotion of their efficient, sovereign and sustainable agricultural growth.

Authors: Wuebbolt Caitlin , Andres Sarah , Chen Ricki , Pullano Theresa , Gilligan Alexandra , Dzik Alyssa , Christie Emilie , Chowdhury Allison , Milling David
Published: June 2024

Background: Homeless Health, Education, Awareness and Leadership in Street Medicine (HEALS) is a nonprofit, medical student-run organization. The mission of HEALS is to address the medical and psychosocial needs of people experiencing homelessness (PEH). Through street medicine outreach initiatives, HEALS works to improve health outcomes associated with unstable housing and limited access to healthcare. The HEALS Foot and Vaccine Clinic was developed to screen for and treat vascular insufficiency, chronic and acute wounds, and foot-related pathologies, and provide vaccinations to prevent infectious illnesses. This clinic also aimed to prevent exposure-related injuries by providing proper footwear and direct access to care.
Aim: Our objective is to create a reproducible foot and vaccine clinic model for student-run clinics to address the needs of PEH through interprofessional collaboration and service learning.
Methods: The event was funded through a crowdfunding campaign and donations and was hosted at a local shelter. Medical students and physicians employed by the medical school partnered with five community outreach programs to provide medical care. The Department of Health (DoH) administered vaccinations against common viral diseases.
Results: Through crowdfunding campaigns, $6,646.00 was raised to contribute to the cost of boots, hygiene kits for attendees, and cleaning supplies, budgeted at $5,198.00. Forty-seven individuals experiencing homelessness were provided with foot care and twenty-six vaccines were administered. The DoH administered twelve hepatitis A, five coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and nine influenza vaccinations at this event. Successive members of HEALS have since replicated this model to replicate foot and vaccine clinics and expand outreach to the neighboring county, yielding increased event attendance and funding. Using this model, student-run free clinics may implement similar initiatives within their own communities to address the complex needs of PEH.

A PRÁTICA EM CURSOS DE LICENCIATURA: UM PANORAMA COM BASE NA LEGISLAÇÃO BRASILEIRA
Authors: Gomes Márcia Cristina Gonçalves , Mafra José Ricardo e Souza
Published: June 2024

O artigo analisa as discussões associadas a Prática como Componente Curricular (PCC), na legislação brasileira. Discorre sobre os pressupostos iniciais, informados na legislação, e associados principalmente aos estágios supervisionados, muitas vezes realizados de forma superficial e sem uma definição clara de como deveria ser conduzido. A Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional de 1996 (LDBEN 9394/96) evidenciou mais o destaque da prática de ensino, como um elemento articulador entre teoria e prática. Com o advento da Resolução CNE/CP n. 2/2002, a prática de ensino foi ampliada e passou a ser denominada PCC, com carga horária mínima de 400 horas. A perspectiva metodológica assumida é a de uma revisão da literatura, associada a legislação brasileira, vinculada a PCC. Os resultados deste estudo, estão associados a importância de a PCC estar presente desde o início do curso e permear a totalidade da formação do professor, sendo que, a depender de como ela pode ser realizada, pode ocorrer em diversos ambientes educacionais, para além das escolas, em uma tentativa de superação da dicotomia entre teoria e prática. No entanto, detectamos a falta de clareza na legislação sobre a operacionalização da prática em evidenciar possibilidades de como essa dissociação pode ser superada. Além disso, concluímos que a legislação ainda não define claramente o seu significado e o que deve ser feito, com base, na composição de carga horária da PCC, o que pode levar a diferentes interpretações e implementações nos cursos de licenciatura.

Modeling stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 inhibitors to ameliorate α-Syn cytotoxicity in Parkinson's disease
Authors: Liu Bridget , Tsai Audrey , Dressen Darren
Published: June 2024

Parkinson’s disease is a form of progressive neurodegeneration that primarily affects dopaminergic neurons. It is characterized by misfolded α-Synuclein (α-Syn) proteins clumped together in Lewy bodies. More recently, it has been proposed that α-Syn toxicity may increase during interactions with fatty acids. There have been several studies linking stearoyl-coenzyme A desaturase 1 (SCD1), the rate-limiting enzyme for the conversion of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) to monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), to the increased toxicity of α-Syn. Consequently, SCD1 inhibition is shown to decrease the toxicity and aggregation of α-Syn. However, the precise interactions of SCD1 inhibitors and SCD1 are unclear. This project compared seven novel analogs of SCD1 inhibitors, which we hypothesized to compete with SCD1’s coenzyme stearoyl coenzyme A, decreasing SFA conversion into their respective MUFAs. The analogs shared the same general pharmacophore with varying R groups (p-toluoyl, 4-fluorobenzoyl, 3-trifluoromethyl benzoyl, o-anisoyl, 3,4-difluorobenzoyl, 2-trifluoromethyl benzoyl, and 2-chlorobenzoyl). We hypothesized that analogs with the least steric hindrance would perform best. We drew a structure-activity relationship from in silico studies, with molecular docking results showing that four analogs were just as or more effective than MF-438, a commercially available SCD1 inhibitor. These results imply that the most effective R group was least sterically hindered, guiding further analog development in the field of small molecule Parkinson’s disease cures.
Public Perception of the Effects of Artificial Sweeteners on Diabetes Based on YouTube Comments
Authors: Kim Tae-Eun , Yoo Han Saem
Published: June 2024

Information on artificial sweeteners has been largely spread through social media platforms like YouTube. This study explored the interconnectedness between misleading information in YouTube comments and the potential associated health risks associated with it. We expected that the extensive dissemination of misleading information about artificial sweeteners has led to misguided consumer attitudes towards artificial sweeteners and their potential health risks. Here, a content analysis was performed on a total of 4347 comments from 10 YouTube videos to discern the prevalence of comments describing weight loss and diabetes management. From our research, 18.96% of the comments from the 10 YouTube videos either directly described or suggested achieving weight loss by consuming artificial sweetener beverages. Additionally, among the comments that discussed diabetes, 22% either directly mentioned or suggested that diet soda helped regulate their diabetes. The health benefits and risks of artificial sweeteners have been controversial. The discrepancy between scientifically proven facts and false information from comments demonstrated fallibly shaped consumer attitudes through social media. Therefore, our study highlighted the prevalence of comments heralding positive health outcomes as a result of using artificial sweeteners despite lack of scientific evidence.

Authors: Inna Muthmainnah  , Alfina Richi  , Ichwanul Muslim Karo karo
Published: June 2024

This research aims to optimize free-range chicken hatchery production at Hacci Farm using the Monte Carlo method, which is known for its ability to overcome uncertainty and variability in production. The data in this research uses chicken seed production data in 2022 and 2023 which is then used as input in the Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation results reveal that the Monte Carlo method provides more accurate predictions regarding free-range chicken seed production. Through this simulation, Hacci Farm can predict the amount of free-range chicken hatchery production in the future and can prepare more effective strategic steps in hatchery management to increase operational efficiency, reduce risks, and maximize free-range chicken production results. The results of implementing the Monte Carlo method show quite high accuracy, namely 98.7% in 2022 and 97.95% in 2023, this can help in planning and managing resources optimally. It is hoped that the use of this method can make a significant contribution in increasing the quality and quantity of free-range chicken production at Hacci Farm, as well as providing a model that can be adopted by other farms for similar purposes.

In modern times, sports have attracted the attention of different societies. Social, economic and political functions are one of the reasons. In Iran, the role of the Ministry of Sports and Youth is very important in managing sports in the country. Justice has been supposedly one of the pillars of ethical management in organizations, along with performance improvement. One example of justice in organizations is gender justice. The aim of this study was to provide valuable information to sports activists in the country by identifying the dimensions of gender justice in the Ministry of Sports and Youth and identify ways to expand gender justice according to employees' perceptions. The current research is practical in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of method, employing a thematic analysis strategy. The sample consisted of 7 management experts and sociologists who had studied, researched, or gained experience in the field of the present study (gender justice in organizations). The researchers used a semi-structured interview, which is suitable for qualitative research in terms of flexibility and depth. The "Inter Coder Reliability (ICR)" method was used to measure the reliability of the interviews conducted. The data were coded using MAXQDA2018 software. The results showed that perceptions of gender justice include 3 main themes (distributive justice, procedural justice and interactional justice) and 19 sub-themes. The expansion of gender justice in the Ministry of Sports and Youth, as the country's sports policy organization, can seemingly be effective in improving performance. It also has positive social and cultural effects on all sports areas of the country.

Purpose: This investigation was intended to know the impact of reflexology of the foot on premenstrual syndrome management. Methods: Fifty single female subjects diagnosed with premenstrual syndrome (PMS), aged 18 to 25 years old and BMI ≤ 30kg/m2, participated in this study. They were divided into two groups of equal numbers, A and B. Group (A) got the therapeutic reflexology of the foot in addition to the dietary modification, 3 sessions weekly for eight weeks. The group (B) got only the diet modification for eight weeks. All subjects in the two groups were assessed for pain by the visual analogue scale (VAS), and the PMS related symptoms were assessed by the Premenstrual Daily Symptoms Questionnaire, in addition to the beta-endorphin level in the blood. Results: The results showed significant improvement of pain level, beta-endorphin level in blood and premenstrual related symptoms in both groups when comparing pre and post treatment values (p < 0.05). There was significant difference between both groups post treatment in favor of the study group (A) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Reflexology of the foot in addition to dietary modification is an efficacious technique for decreasing the premenstrual symptoms.

Methodology is a very important basic framework in the design and development of professional software, aimed at creating an information system that meets the business needs of an organization. Success in software development relies heavily on managing the software project as a whole. Establishing a methodology includes high dynamics in the design stages of a model that describes the activities and life cycle of a system. SDLC (Systems Development Life Cycle) or Systems Development Life Cycle, in the context of systems and software engineering, is a process that includes the creation and modification of systems, as well as the models and methodologies used to develop them. This discussion will explain the analysis of selecting software development methodologies, including waterfall, prototype, iterative, spiral, and rapid application development (RAD). It is hoped that the results of this discussion can provide considerations in choosing and using the right methodology based on each individual's needs, strengths and weaknesses, as well as other factors such as familiarity with technology, system complexity, system reliability, and short and precise time requirements, as well as referencing several scientific journals.
