Authors: Pareek Anita , Kochar Dilip , Kachhawa Richa , Bohra Kritika , Satyaprakash Dr , Kachhawa Satvik
Published: October 2023

Background: Spinal anaesthesia (SA) using a bolus dose of Ropivacaine (0.75%) is known for its rapid onset but potential chances of hypotension. Administering Ropivacaine (0.75%) in fractions with intervals between the doses, has shown to establish a dense block, prolong analgesia and maintain better hemodynamic stability. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of fractionated and bolus doses of Ropivacaine (0.75%) in patients undergoing elective lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) under spinal anaesthesia. Methods: In a randomized, double-blinded trial, sixty patients scheduled for elective LSCS were enrolled and assigned to two groups. Group A received a single bolus spinal anaesthesia using Ropivacaine (0.75%) (2.5ml), while Group B received a fractionated dose approach: two-thirds of the total Ropivacaine (0.75%) dose (1.6ml) initially, followed by one-third dose (0.9ml) after 90 seconds. Results: The onset of sensory block (Group A: 3.59±1.31 min, Group B: 4.25±0.63 min) and motor block (Group A: 5.49±2.30 min, Group B: 7.34±11.28 min), as well as the duration of analgesia, were significantly longer in Group B (233.33±16.47 min) compared to Group A (185.17±20.61 min) (P < 0.05). Hemodynamic stability was superior in Group B, with all patients showing better stability than those in Group A. Conclusion: Utilizing a fractionated dose of Ropivacaine (0.75%) in spinal anaesthesia results in an extended duration of analgesia and improved hemodynamic stability compared to a bolus dose approach.
Indictment: procedural purpose
Authors:   Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Rossinskiy S. B.
Published: October 2023

The paper analyzes the problems of the procedural purpose of the indictment as a law enforcement act that completes the pre-trial investigation of a criminal case. The relevance of the study is caused by the duplication of the role of the indictment and the decision on indictment as a defendant, which arises from the system of procedural legislation and the common investigative practice, in terms of establishing the scope, content, and boundaries, in other words, determining the subject of the upcoming criminal trial at first instance. Based on the traditional for national criminal justice concept of retaining the institute of indictment as a defendant, the author substantiates the thesis about the misunderstanding of the indictment as a document determining the content and parameters of a criminal complaint made against an accused. The paper clarifies that during the pre-trial investigation, such a role can only belong to the decision on indictment as a defendant. The author analyzes the reasons influenced the emergence of the identified doctrinal-legal dissonance that are associated with the not quite reasonable law-making policy typical for the development of Soviet and post-Soviet criminal justice. The author proposes to reduce the procedural significance of the indictment not to the formulation of the subject of the upcoming criminal trial at first instance, but only to summarizing the results of the pre-trial investigation and the final recognition of its results appropriate for legal proceedings on merits, as well as to determining the moment of formal completion of pre-trial proceedings and the termination of all legal relations inherent in this criminal procedure stage. It is proposed to consider the indictment a reason (legal fact) for the commencement of judicial proceedings. Moreover, the author mentions other purposes of the indictment – law enforcement and organizational and technical.

The authors considered the application of standard tactical operations in the investigation of the occupation of the highest position in the criminal hierarchy. These operations are presented as an element of the forensic methodology for investigating these crimes. The positive effect of their application in the investigation is caused by the information-cognitive approach to modeling a forensic technique. The study distinguished between standard tactical operations and procedures for collecting and evaluating evidence. Standard tactical operations are adapted to emerging investigative situations and combine the most appropriate investigative activities and intelligence surveillance actions recommended by the intelligence surveillance science. The need to develop standard tactical operations is confirmed by examples from investigative practice. On the practical side, the authors touched upon the issues of optimizing the investigation according to the information criterion of reliability and completeness of the evidence obtained. With regard to the investigation of the occupation of the highest position in the criminal hierarchy, the authors proposed standard tactical operations to detain a suspect and other persons involved in a crime, to overcome opposition to the investigation, to carry out investigative prevention and other areas of investigation. Standard tactical operations aimed at detecting and fixing sources of evidentiary information are developed. Such negative factors as the refusal of witnesses from previously presented testimony, the use of connections by a suspect, the concealment and destruction of signs of the occupation of the highest position in the criminal hierarchy by a suspect, etc. are considered. The efficiency of expert examinations assigned at that time, such as forensic criminological, forensic psychological, document management, etc. is shown. The authors proposed tactical and forensic measures to identify the preventive circumstances in the investigation of the occupation of the highest position in the criminal hierarchy.
The introduction of digital technologies into the practice of physical education of students at the university: the results of a survey of lecturers and students of Mari State University
Authors:   Mari State University, Koshkina T. V.
Published: October 2023

The organization of physical education at a university differs from the organization of teaching other disciplines; therefore, a special approach to the introduction of digital technologies into the practice of physical education at a university should be used. To develop and critically understand the further digitalization of the process of physical education of university students, it is important to obtain empirical data on what experience of using digital technologies in the practice of physical education at the university teachers and students have accumulated, and what problems they have encountered when used these technologies. The author carried out a comprehensive survey of teachers (n=20) and students (n=50) of the Faculty of Physical Education, Sports and Tourism of Mari State University to study their experience and attitude towards the use of digital technologies in the physical education of university students. The survey results indicate a generally positive attitude of teachers and students towards the introduction of digital technologies into the process of physical education. Most students consider the introduction of digital technologies into the process of physical education useful and relevant. As the main difficulties associated with the process of physical education digitalization, the students specified the following: 1) the majority of them lack experience in using digital technologies specifically in the field of physical education; 2) difficulties of self-organization; 3) increasing the volume of intellectual workloads. The majority of lecturers surveyed do not have sufficient experience in using digital technologies in their professional activities; there is a lack of time to master completely the opportunities offered by digital technologies, which is associated with a heavy professional workload.
Life-purpose orientations and coping strategies of girls of different student ages
Authors:   Tula State Lev Tolstoy Pedagogical University, Kulikova T. I.
Published: October 2023

Student age is sensitive for the formation of a worldview and life goals, awareness of responsibility for one’s life. Their search contributes both to the formation of an appropriate assessment of reality, understanding, and awareness of the life purpose and to the formation of constructive ways to solve life problems, one’s special behavior strategies. The paper aims at the establishing the correlation of the life-purpose orientations and coping strategies of female students of different age groups. The author carried out the study on a sample group represented by female students of different undergraduate and graduate courses of Tula State Lev Tolstoy Pedagogical University (n=69) aged 18 to 24. The PIL test by D.A. Leontiev and the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ) by R. Lazarus were used as the diagnostic tools. The correlation analysis showed the presence of strong direct correlations between goals, the life process and life performance, the life meaningfulness general indicator and planning strategy. The study identified strong inverse correlations between life performance indicator and the distancing and escape/avoidance strategies. The study showed that the values of life awareness of female students are the higher, the older the respondents are. Life-purpose orientations influence the choice of coping strategies: for the (≤21) age group respondents, avoiding-type coping strategies, i. e., unproductive strategies, are more characteristic, while for the (≥22) age group, problem-oriented coping is the most typical.

The formation of representative databases determines the interest in forecasting and managing the quality of metal based on data mining using special software products often based on regression analysis and not always taking into account the statistical nature of an object of study itself. This can lead to misinterpretation of the results or incomplete extracted information reducing the efficiency of statistical processing. Based on the analysis of the production database of the technology for producing 13G1S-U sheet steel, the authors evaluated the possibilities of multiple linear regression for predicting the quality of a steel sheet. The study shows that the type of distribution of the values of control parameters, the distribution nature of which was estimated based on the determination of the skewness and kurtosis coefficients, limits the regression forecast depth. Due to the great deviation of the predicted models from the experimental values in the right tail area of the distribution of the impact strength values, in this work, the authors developed the methods for separating data arrays and proposed criteria to compare the obtained results. To assess the accuracy of the results obtained, arrays with a deliberately asymmetric distribution were selected from the initial sample, against which the statistical characteristics were also compared. Based on the proposed techniques, the authors identified the dominant chemical elements that contribute to the difference in the distribution of the values of acceptance properties existing within the same standard technology. The study shows that the proposed separation method can be used as a variation of cognitive graphics techniques to identify areas with a dependence dominant type based on the correlation of skewness and kurtosis coefficients.

Authors: Güner Kibaroğlu Gamze , Basım H. Nejat
Published: October 2023

The objective of this research is to examine the influence of organization-based self-esteem on the relationship between proactive personality and job crafting, considering the predictive and creative aspects of personality. A quantitative research approach was employed, collecting data from 1067 participants in two separate time periods through a survey. The findings, gathered at different time points, indicate that a proactive personality significantly and positively affects job crafting. Moreover, organization-based self-esteem emerges as both a partial mediator and a moderator in this relationship. The study highlights the significance of proactive thinking and having a sense of self-esteem within the organizational context for employees to engage in job crafting. Practical and academic recommendations are provided based on these results.

The cultivation of second crop (safrinha) maize (Zea Mays L.) has progressed in Brazil. The maize plant population recommendation for the second crop is drastically reduced. This work aimed to evaluate the morphophysiological characters of ear and yield components in different populations of plants and maize hybrids. The experiment was cultivated in a no-tillage system in the second crop of the 2019/2020 agricultural year in Unaí-MG and carried out according to a randomized block design in subdivided plots, with the five simple maize hybrids KWS (K9105VIP3, K9960VIP3, K9606VIP3, K9555VIP3 and K8774PRO3) considered as parcels and the four populations (35.000, 50.000, 65.000 and 80.000 plants he-1), considered as subplots. The maize hybrids did not influence (P>0,05) the variables. The populations of 35.000, 65.000 and 80.000 plants he-1 resulted in the highest (P<0,05) number of rows, number of grains per row and ear length. The increase in plant population influenced (P<0,05) positively the grain yields up to the population of plant density of 68.200 plants he-1 with grain yield of 9.302 kg he-1. Population densification, even increasing competition for resources negatively influencing most plant and ear characters, increases grain yield due to the greater amount of ear per area.

Published: October 2023

The analytical effect of micelles of cationic surfactants in the reactions of some aromatic aldehydes (AA) with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) with the formation of the corresponding aci-forms of hydrazones has been established. It has been established that micelles of nonionic and anionic surfactants do not cause analytically significant effects in the system under study. Analytical characteristics of systems DNPH–AA– cationic surfactant (molar absorption coefficients (ε), ranges of determined contents, limits of detection) were determined, using the example of benzaldehyde and its nitro-, sulfo-, chlorine-, dimethylamino- and methoxy derivatives, as well as p-dime thylaminocinnamic aldehyde (DMAC). For the majority of aldehydes ranges of determined contents are in the range from 0,2 to 2,1 μg/ml, ε from 2.10-4 to 1.10-5 L.mol-1.cm-1. The hydrazone formed by DNPH and DMAC was synthesized and identified by elemental analysis and IR spectroscopically. The solubility of the resulting hydrazone in aqueous (pH 13) and micellar (cetylpyridinium chloride, CPC) media was studied. It has been shown that its solubility in CPC micelles increases approximately 60 times, which leads to the stabilization of the studied system DNPH – AA – cationic surfactant in time (its isotropy) and an increase in the sensitivity of the determination of the corresponding aldehyde in the absence of volatile and toxic organic solvents, while the principle “green chemistry” has been implemented. The established effect of cationic surfactants was implemented to develop a method for the non-extraction photometric determination of streptomycin (a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic effective against tuberculosis) in pharmaceutical preparations with ranges of determined contents from 2,1 to 87,4 μg/ml. The error of direct photometric determination of streptomycin did not exceed 5–9%.

The introduction of the genetic material of wild-growing species into the genome of cultivated plants can significantly expand the diversity of breeding material. For the effective use of introgressive plants, it is necessary to study their economically valuable traits and adaptive capabilities. The objective of the work is to study the effect of two types of salinity on the morphogenesis of seedlings of introgressive lines of spring bread wheat containing the genetic material of Aegilops columnaris Zhuk. The objects of study are seedlings of spring bread wheat of the Dobrynya variety and seedlings of introgressive lines of spring bread wheat, created in the laboratory of genetics and cytology of the Federal Center of Agriculture Research of the South-East Region on the basis of the Dobrynya variety and Aegilops columnaris Zhuk. Cultivation of plants was carried out on solutions of sodium chloride and sulfate; the concentrations of the solutions corresponded to an osmotic pressure of 7 atm. The effect of salinity on growth was assessed by the following indicators: root index value, root-to-shoot ratio of seedlings, length of the first leaf, and number of roots of seven-day-old seedlings. Among the studied introgressive lines of spring bread wheat, the highest resistance to the action of sodium chloride is characteristic of seedlings of lines L1946/1 (6A(6U); T4BS/T4BL-1D; 3AL with terminal C-band), L1882/2 (monosomic addition 2/4/ 7X), L2021/4 (5D(5X)6D(6X); terminal transl. 3DL) and L2021/2 (5D(5X)6A(6X)). Seedlings of lines L1882/2 (monosomic addition 2/4/7X) and L2028/3 (5D(5X)) showed resistance to sulfate salinity. Seedlings of line L2028/3 (5D(5X)) are slightly inferior to seedlings of the Dobrynya variety in the length of the first leaf under conditions of chloride salinization, and line L2021/4 is inferior in terms of root supply under conditions of sulfate salinity (5D(5X)6D(6X); terminal transl. 3DL). The results obtained allow us to conclude that the indicated changes in the genome have a positive or no negative effect on the salt tolerance of common wheat. The pronounced negative effect of chloride and sulfate salinity on the studied morphometric parameters was found in plants of the line L1721/2 (6A(6Udel); T4BS/T4BL-1D), which suggests that such a change in the genome negatively affects the salt tolerance of bread wheat.

The article presents data on the detection of mould fungi in the system of Aesculus hippocastanum – Cameraria ohridella which is an invasive pest of chestnuts. Entomological and mycological studies were conducted using standard methods . The study determined the species composition, occurrence index and quantitative indicators of the micromycetes present in the leaf tissues of Aesculus hippocastanum and Cameraria ohridella caterpillars. 135 samples of the caterpillars of three generations of the insects, the mines and the healthy plant leaves collected at the permanent observation points in Saratov city (Astrakhanskaya St., Bolshaya Sadovaya St., Naberezhnaya Kosmonavtov St.) were analysed. 18 species of the fungi of the genera Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Fusarium, Penicillium and Rhizopus were identified. Numerical indicators of fungi ranged from 102 to 105 CFU/g. There was an increase in the quantitative indicators and species diversity of micromycetes during the vegetation period. Aspergillus was the dominant genus of fungi in the first generation of insects, Alternaria dominated in the second generation, and Cladosporium dominated in the third generation. Thus, Ochrid myner can be a natural reservoir of various fungi, including phytopathogenic ones.
Combining the incompatible, or on the question of the synergy of educational strategies
Authors:   Kazan Innovation University named after V. G. Timiryasova, Agapov Оleg D. , Agapova Eleonora I. ,   The Tatarstan Institute of Education Development
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The main idea of the article is that every established educational strategy combines the incompatible, generating economocentrism, political centrism, technocentrism, ecocentrism and other “centrisms” that lead to a reductivist approach to the meaning and forms of education. Theoretical analysis. Education as a socioanthropological institution is relatively autonomous, and the idea of autopoiesis of the human being is what lies at the foundation of its autonomy. In this context, philosophy of education appears as a philosophy of its age, or, even broader, a philosophy of human beings who are able not only to integrate themselves into the civilizational design of the epoch with its cultural and historical standards, and professional needs, but also to transcend their epoch in search for themselves / their own. Empirical analysis. The inalienable mission of education consists in creating a social field for spiritual maturation and self-perfection for individual human beings. Education acquires its completeness and dignity only when it reaches the level of navigating a person towards development, “the care of the self”. Conclusion. Education thus becomes a form of development of a civil society, able to self-organize and self-develop, to create (cultivating meanings and institutions), which is not reducible to a social “conveyor-factory” for producing semi-finished products according to the standards of political, professional or sociocultural institutions.
The image of a woman in the conditions of modern pseudo-democratic mythology
Authors:   Omsk State Technical University, Andreeva Valentina A.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The image of a woman helps to construct one’s understanding of the world, relations in society, ideas about the Other. This article is devoted to a critical analysis of the transformation of the image of a woman in a network society. Theoretical analysis. Today, the position of rejecting gender differences, which serve as one of the sources of human culture, is increasing in society. A crisis situation arises, accompanied by the loss of gender self-identification, the violation of internalization and existential frustration. In the network image of society, women are polyvariant and solve it by interpreting the actor who uses it, but a person acquires and manifests his or her generic essence only in the intuitions of the social essence, with the help of transcending. Conclusion. We come to the conclusion that the image of a woman in a network society is constructed by means of a pseudo-democratic mythologeme, which implements the illusion of freedom and leads to the full autonomy of individuals, which is the cause of alienating a person from society and thereby from himself/herself. The proposed way out of the existing gender identity crisis is by means of transcending communication, which includes signification.
The State-Society syncretism in Thomas Hobbes’ theory of social contract
Authors:   Peoples’ Frendship University of Russia (RUDN University), Lomonosov Moscow State University, Golubev Ivan S.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The article analyzes the state-society relationship in the theory of social contract by T. Hobbes. The etatist interpretation of his socio-political doctrine, widespread in Russian philosophical thought, fundamentally opposing society to the state, does not seem to reflect the understanding of their relationship. From our point of view this is inherent in the contractual theory of the English thinker. Theoretical analysis. The author shows that the original conceptual and theoretical principles of T. Hobbes are the unity of sociogenesis and politogenesis, the actual identification of sociality and statehood, and the assertion of the need for security as the most important factor in the transition of people from the «state of nature» to the state-public organization of their life together. Analyzing the nature of state power, T. Hobbes believes that the political activity of the sovereign, as the source and bearer of the first, is subject, first of all, to the interests of the society he controls. Conclusion. The etatist interpretation of the state-society relationship does not find sufficient confirmation in the theory of the social contract of T. Hobbes. The analysis made it possible to reveal that his point of view on this problem can be described with the idea of the syncretism of society and the state, which implies the unity of the processes of sociogenesis and politogenesis and, accordingly, the simultaneous emergence of these forms of common life.
On the place of the mythology of technology in contemporary digital studies
Authors:   South Ural State University (National Research University), Rezvushkina Sofya A.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The article is devoted to philosophical reflection on the role of technique and technology in the existence of a modern man. The authors hypothesize that the technosphere is subject to mythologization to the same extent as other essentially significant human spheres. In this regard, the need to study the process of mythologization of technology is actualized. Theoretical analysis. The analysis of the historical and philosophical basis of the problem has demonstrated that there are two approaches to the connotation of technological innovations – alarmist and progressivist. They determine the further vector of mythologization. Alarmist researchers mythologize technology through negative connotations, while the progressist approach is characterised by a positive attitude towards the technologicalisation of all spheres of human existence. Empirical analysis. A further investigation of the sources of formation of the metaphysical superstructure of technology showed that the reflection of technology involves a sensual-imaginative, irrational perception which is characteristic of mythologization. It is reflected in the artistic creations of a contemporary man that explicate mythological meanings related to the perception of technology. Conclusion. The authors conclude that there is a need to study mythology of technology as an independent field of knowledge in the context of contemporary digital studies. The author's definition of the technological mythology which allows to outline the boundaries of this phenomenon more precisely and comprehensively, is proposed.
The purpose of non-classical art as a philosophical problem (based on the philosophy of V. S. Solovyov, S. N. Bulgakov and N. A. Berdyaev)
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Shchekaleva Olga V.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. In the modern world, the problem of the purpose of art remains relevant due to the emergence of various forms of non-classical art. Modernism and postmodernism differ from classical art, therefore it is inappropriate to transfer the purpose of classical art to these movements without a deep analysis. It seems reasonable for the analysis of non-classical art to consider it through the spectacles of Russian religious philosophy. Theoretical analysis. Representatives of the philosophy of unity and the representative of religious existentialism N. A. Berdyaev wrote about the purpose of classical art. The question arises: what is the purpose of non-classical art – modernism and postmodernism? The philosophers themselves – V. S. Solovyov, S. N. Bulgakov, N. A. Berdyaev analyzed works of classical art and modernist works. The author analyzes the artifacts of postmodern art through the spectacles of Russian religious philosophy. Conclusion. For a deep analysis of works of non-classical art, the criteria developed in the philosophy of unity should be used, since any work of art can be evaluated for the author’s desire to realize unity and from the point of view of actualization of eternal ideas. It is also possible to use the concept of Berdyaev’s creativity for the analysis of modernism, but this concept is not applicable for evaluating the art of postmodernism.
Organizational psychology in the conditions of a special military operation and afterwards: Old tasks, new contexts and emphasis
Authors:   Voronezh State University, Gaidar Karina M.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The problem of the peculiarities of the work of organizational psychologists in the conditions of a special military operation (SMO) and after its completion is raised. The similarity of the existential meanings of the Great Patriotic War and the SMO and the differences in the socio-psychological processes that accompany them are revealed. Theoretical analysis. It is argued that while maintaining traditional tasks, but changing the conditions for their solution, the content of the activities of organizational psychologists undergoes transformations that can become even more pronounced after the end of the SMO. New socio-psychological contexts lead to different emphases in the work of organizational psychologists. In particular, on the basis of analysis of the tasks of organizational psychology and current practical experience, new emphasis has been identified in such areas of work of psychologists in organizations as the preservation of organizational culture and the cohesion of work teams, the psychological support of workers, the formation of their psychological readiness for constructive interaction with participants in the SMO after their return to civilian life, advising the latter on their requests. Conclusion. As a result of the analysis, a position was formulated on the need to pay increased attention to the training of organizational psychologists to work in new conditions, to solve the problem of quantitative and qualitative support for this training.
Strategies of psychological influence of online groomer on the minor victim in the situation of online sexual harassment
Authors:   Saratov State University, Kiselev Konstantin A.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The article is devoted to the socio-psychological phenomenon of psychological influence of online groomer on the victim in the situation of online sexual harassment. Theoretical analysis. In general, online sexual harassment refers to unwanted messages that include verbal and photo-visual information of sexual nature. It is noted that the concept of online sexual grooming is identified with this phenomenon. Empirical analysis. In the study, respondents (N=170) answered an anonymous questionnaire about online sexual grooming they had experienced when they were underage. In most cases, online groomers are adults, aware of the victim’s age, focusing mostly on the girls aged 10–12 (35.9% of cases) and 13–15 years old (44.1% of cases). Conclusion. The most significant strategies of psychological influence on the victim of online grooming include the use of flattery and compliments, as well as manipulation of such psychological features of the target of harassment as curiosity and lack of understanding of correct behavior patterns. Sexual online groomers predominantly target minors between the ages of 10 and 15. It is typical for these victims to conceal from their parents the facts of their abuse by groomers.
The problem of comparative evaluation of paintings created by an artist and generated by a neural network
Authors:   Saratov State University, Panteleev Alexander F.
Published: October 2023

Introduction. The role of art in the life of society is to translate humanitarian values. The creator of a truly imaginative work is able to perceive when interacting with the world and embody in his works what may not be in statistics and will probably be relevant for humanity in the future. Theoretical analysis. According to the available data, the pictures aggregated by the neural network and painted by the artist do not differ in subjects. In this paper, an activity-based approach is implemented to assess the differences of such paintings. It is based on the decision of the test subject of the problem associated with the identification of this difference. The difference lies in the method of “translating” the idea of the painting from a symbolic code into a figurative one, objectifying the artist’s attitude to the world, translating humanitarian values in this way. Empirical analysis. In the course of an empirical study, a pairwise comparison of paintings was carried out, as a criterion, the comparison was proposed based on the possible success of the transfer of the artist’s attitude to the world. Conclusion. It was previously stated that the distinction between paintings written by the artist and those generated by the neural network in the conditions of solving a new task for the subject to identify the success of the transfer is problematic.

Published: October 2023

Early marriage has several negative implications on women and wider society, such as reproductive health and the economy in Indonesia. In terms of health, it leads to adolescent pregnancy, risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections and experiencing gender-based violence (GBV), while in the context of economy, child marriage is estimated to cause economic losses of at least 1.7 percent of gross domestic income (GDP). According to the V, from January to June 2020, 34,000 recorded applications for marriage dispensation were recorded. (From this number, 97% were granted, and 60% of those who applied were children under 18. A specific case occurred in a village at Blora Regency, where the mindset of getting married at such a young age is natural. Society assumes that girls who have graduated from high school are ready to be a homemaker and let them follow their husbands after marriage. This article will determine how effective policy interventions can reduce the number of early marriages. It uses descriptive qualitative research by comparing community response surveys after participating in socialization activities. Based on this research, the most influential form of women’s empowerment is community-based (Srikandi Desa). This article also suggests that collaboration between stakeholders positively impacts the success of policy interventions on the dangers of early marriage campaigns.

Natural disaster management programs aim to reduce risks, protect the community, and minimize the impact of natural disasters in the area. The purpose of this research is to describe and analyze the effectiveness of sustainable natural disaster management programs in the North Kalimantan Province. The effectiveness of this program is very important for achieving the goals that have been previously set.. A qualitative approach was used in this study. Data collection techniques were conducted through in-depth interviews with key informants who played a role in natural disaster management programs, observation of stakeholder activities, and documentation studies. The research data sources consist of primary and secondary data. Data analysis techniques included data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Results show that North Kalimantan Province’s natural disaster management program has been running effectively on the dimensions of achieving goals, where the budget allocated follows the existing realization. As for integration in program implementation, it is not well established because of the lack of rehearsals for disaster management as well as adaptation to implementation, which is difficult due to topographical conditions that are still difficult to reach.

Published: October 2023

The placement of structural positions for civil servants in each region has its own dynamics and complexities, one of which is the placement of structural positions in the Makassar City government, which has not fully met the criteria for position requirements in terms of both rank and competency. This study analyzes the factors that influence the placement of structural positions in the Makassar City government. It is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Data collection was conducted through interviews with several key informants, who were considered to understand the placement of structural positions and complement them with data and information relevant to this study. The data sources consisted of primary and secondary data, and the data analysis model used is an interactive one. The results of the study indicate that there are several factors that influence the placement of structural positions in the Government of Makassar City – namely the first factor, where political interests are still the main determinant in the placement of structural positions. The second factor indicates that although the objective assessment based on the merit system has been well implemented, the results of the structural position selection assessment are still in the nature of recommendations, and the determination of structural officials is the authority of staffing supervisors who incidentally are political officials, so that the bargaining position to influence the decisions of public officials is still thriving in the nature of local governance.

Authors: Rimbawan Abdi Ridha
Published: October 2023

Principal data education becomes the basis for temporary policy teacher appointments. Regarding the use of the main data system (DAPODIK) and its influence on local government policies in the education sector, the researchers had several important takeaways from this research, such as the use of the DAPODIK application system in schools in inputting educational data, which is still not optimal in its utilization. The research method used is qualitative with an inductive approach. There are a number of schools that use primary data education in the appointment of teachers, which is not permanent, but not effective. The main data on education is influenced by several factors; namely, teaching hours, subjects taught, and leadership policies. These factors are described in the research table of each district in West Sulawesi Province. The main data on education will affect school achievement because it requires the accuracy of the data on education, human resources, and policy evaluation.

Authors: Zulkifly Andi
Published: October 2023

Collaborative governance encourages cooperation and active participation among various parties. This study aims to analyze collaborative governance in investment programs in the city of Makassar. It uses a qualitative descriptive research method. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The research participants were actors involved in the investment program. Data sources included primary data obtained from observations and in-depth interviews, while secondary data were obtained from document searches. The results show that the collaborative governance process in the investment program in Makassar City is going well, as can be seen from the routine face-to-face dialogue as well as the trust that is built through the provision of information and evaluating services. Joint commitment is achieved by carrying out duties and functions. However, there are still apparatus human resources that have not participated in investment management training, which hinders the optimal implementation of the program. Meanwhile, shared understanding has been built through joint deliberations as a form of constraint discussion. The results of the investment program can be seen in the annual increase in domestic and foreign investment.

Authors: . Awaluddin , . Alwi , Yunus Muhammad , Susanti Gita
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this research is to describe and analyze the dynamics of collaborative governance in post-earthquake liquefaction management policies in Palu city. This study uses a qualitative deductive approach. The results indicate that collaborative dynamics in the implementation of post-earthquake and liquefaction management policies in Palu city can be seen through three components: principled engagement, shared motivation, and capacity for joint action, which are interrelated with one another so that cooperation can be carried out. However, the post-earthquake and liquefaction handling policy in Palu city has not been implemented properly because there are still agencies that have not fully carried out their responsibilities. For example, the Palu city government has not provided land for the construction of permanent houses for disaster victims, while the Ministry of PUPR through the Cipta Karya regional office is ready to build permanent houses if land is available. There is no synergy in decision-making in implementing policies so that communities affected by the earthquake and tsunami liquefaction have not been handled properly and are still stranded in temporary shelters, while permanent houses have not been built for the victims.

Opportunities and Challenges of Pentahelix Collaboration for Poverty Alleviation in Indonesia: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Tadung Edy
Published: October 2023

Within the context of poverty reduction, there is a clear tendency for groups or organizations involved in these efforts to continue existing practices or approaches without producing the necessary changes or innovations. We found that the poverty reduction gap occurs when programs or projects that have been carried out together repeatedly fail to deliver the expected results in reducing poverty significantly. Despite the awareness of the need for change through collaboration, they still seem to adhere to old approaches that are familiar, routine, or ineffective. Although the pentahelix model partnership is not an easy solution to difficult societal issues, the public views it as an opportunity and challenge that occasionally frustrates the parties involved and raises public expectations. For practitioners, researchers, and decision-makers, this study identifies trends, possibilities, and problems in the development of a larger pentahelix model network of collaborative knowledge generation.
