Authors: Dewi Ervina Suryani  , Vanessa Chandra  , Agnes Yolanda Siburian  , Ameta Grace Simbolon
Published: August 2024

Hakim di Indonesia masih mengedepankan retributive justice atau menekankan keadilan pada pembalasan, sehingga lebih mengarah pada pelaku dan mengesampingkan  hak-hak korban.Tujuan dari penelitian tersebut untuk mengetahui penegakan hukum pada pelaku tindak pencabulan terhadap anak dan agar  memahami bentuk dari perlindungan hukum terhadap korban pencabulan yang dilakukan terhadap anak dalam putusan 123/Pid/Sus/2020/PN Olm. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian normatif dan menggunakan analisis data kualitatif. Bentuk perlindungan hukum yang dapat diberikan kepada anak sebagai korban tindak pidana yaitu restitusi, kompensasi dan rehabilitasi. Namun faktanya hakim dalam memutus perkara anak sebagai korban tindak pidana tidak menyebutkan bentuk perlindungan hukum sebagaimana yang diamanahkan dalam Undang-Undang tersebut.

Published: August 2024

Objectives This study aimed to compare offline and online self-regulated learning of high school students in the context of COVID-19, and to examine the mutual influence between these two variables.
Methods For this purpose, A study was conducted on 952 high school students across four schools located in A City and Y County of Chungcheongnam-do, measuring self-regulated learning and online self-regulated learning, sub-variables, academic achievement levels, and spot according to self-study time. For comparative research, correlation analysis, t-test, and one-way ANOVA were used through SPSS 22.0 version, and regression analysis was used to examine the mutual influence between offline self-regulated learning and its sub-variables and online self-regulated learning and its sub-variables.
Results First, in the gender comparison, female students had significantly higher average scores in online self-regulated learning and online behavior control than male students. Second, in the academic achievement level comparison, offline self-regulated learning, cognitive control, behavior control, and online behavior control were statistically significant. Third, in the comparison of learning time based on self-study spots, the statistical results were significant in offline self-regulated learning, online self-regulated learning, and online behavior control. Finally, the results of the mutual influence study between offline self-regulated learning and online self-regulated learning showed that they influence each other in both directions, and the degree of influence was similar.
Conclusions These findings suggest that teachers need systematic guidance according to the teaching method design and the learner's self-regulated learning ability so that high school students can actively use self-regulated learning and online self-regulated learning.

Authors: Najim Saja Ayad , Hussain Suzan Saadi , Abdulrazaq Raghad Abdulatef
Published: August 2024

Objective: The goal of this study is to purify inerolysin produced by Lactobacillus iners and vaginolysin produced by Gardnerella vaginalis, and to investigate the cytotoxic effects of the combination of these purified toxins on VK2 and HeLa cells.
Methods: Out of 592 specimens from Baghdad teaching hospitals, 101 isolates were identified as L. iners and 165 isolates as G. vaginalis. The toxins were purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography, and gel filtration. The cytotoxic effects of the combined inerolysin and vaginolysin on VK2 and HeLa cells were studied.
Results: For inerolysin, the optimal precipitation saturation ratio was 70%, with ion exchange chromatography yielding a specific activity of 14 mg and gel filtration increasing the specific activity to 40 U/mg. For vaginolysin, the optimal precipitation saturation ratio was 50%, with ion exchange chromatography yielding a specific activity of 4 mg and gel filtration increasing the specific activity to 10 U/mg. The combination of toxins showed a viability ratio of 38% for VK2 cells and 31% for HeLa cells at higher toxin concentrations.
Conclusion: Inerolysin and vaginolysin cause lysis of vaginal and cervical cells, which may lead to abortion. The killing ratio increases with higher concentrations of the toxins.

Authors: Hassan Ahmed Malik , Al-Saadi Hassan Ali , Hussein Radhwan Mohammed , Hussain Munther Jaffar
Published: August 2024

Objective: To evaluate the serum levels of Procalcitonin (PCT), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Cystatin C, and Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU).
Methods: This case-control study included 120 participants divided into four groups: 30 with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), 30 with diabetic foot ulcers and chronic kidney disease (DFU & CKD), 30 with diabetes mellitus (DM), and 30 healthy controls. The study was conducted from November 2023 to March 2024. Laboratory tests performed on all patients and controls included CBC, blood urea, serum creatinine, and serum CRP levels using a fully automated analyzer. PCT, Cystatin C, and KIM-1 levels were measured using the ELISA method.
Results: The biomarkers PCT, CRP, and WBC showed a significant increase in the diabetic foot group and the diabetic foot with chronic kidney disease group. Additionally, there were positive correlations between PCT and CRP and Cystatin C, and between KIM-1 and Cystatin C. ROC analysis of PCT demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity (91.1% and 99%, respectively).
Conclusion: Elevated Procalcitonin levels in diabetic foot patients can predict early infection even without clear clinical signs. Increased levels of Cystatin C and KIM-1 serve as good biomarkers for renal function and complications of diabetes, showing a close relationship with diabetic foot conditions.

Objective: To evaluate the association between NAFLD and renal stone detected on computed tomography.
Method: This study encompassed 240 patients who underwent noncontrast CT abdomen-pelvis computed tomography between November 2023 and April 2024. The nonalcoholic fatty liver disease group included those who had a reduced mean Hounsfield unit (HU) of the right lobe, lateral and left medial segment of the liver as compared to that of the spleen. The control group included patients who had liver parenchyma HU larger than spleen HU.  All patients were examined for the presence or absence of radiopaque kidney, ureter, or urinary bladder stones, whether symptomatic or not.
Results: From 240 patients, 122 were healthy (50.8%) without NAFLD or renal stone disease. NAFLD was found in 88 individuals with a mean age of 46.8±17.7 years, 42 (47.7%) males and 46 (52.3%) women. Renal stone disease was detected in 70 patients, accounting for 29.1% of the total. The average age of these patients was 43.7± 19.3 years, with 32 males and 38 females. Forty individuals with NAFLD had renal stones (45.5%) which was significantly more than the prevalence in those who are NAFLD negative 13 (19.7%), p <0.001. Females with NAFLD had a considerably greater renal stone rate (52.2%) compared to those without NAFLD (16.3%), P < 0.001.
Conclusion: Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) had a significantly higher incidence of renal stone disease compared to persons with a healthy liver, especially among women.
Transnational Crime Without Transnational Prosecution
Authors: De Jonge BdJ
Published: August 2024

The enforcement of transnational criminal law is left almost exclusively to national authorities. Public prosecutors and investigating judges play a key role in this field. This generates a seemingly dichotomous situation in which national bodies are faced with crime that is inherently transnational of nature. Each judge and each public prosecutor is expected to serve in the first place its own national legal order, bound to respect the limits of its jurisdiction set by national law, ultimately serving adjudication before a national court. This article reflects on the role of judicial authorities in the fight against transnational crime. Through various treaty obligations they are expected to coordinate with each other, and are obliged to reasonably use the instruments of international cooperation at their disposal. Over the  last decade, a small body of caselaw from the European Court of Human Rights has emerged, setting a standard on how judicial authorities should deal with certain types of cross-border crime. Notwithstanding those obligations, a handful of empirical studies indicate that there is a lot of room for improvement of the performance of our national judicial bodies in this field.
EFEKTIVITAS ZAKAT PRODUKTIF MELALUI MUSTAHIK INCOME GENERATING PROGRAM (MIGP) PADA YAYASAN BAITUL MAL (YBM) BRILiaN BANDA ACEH
Authors: Munawarah
Published: August 2024

Productive zakat is believed to be able to improve the standard of living of mustahik to be more economically empowered in accordance with the objectives of productive zakat distribution in the law. In this case, the Baitul Mal Foundation (YBM) BRILiaN Banda Aceh applies it through the Mustahik Income Generating Program (MIGP) in agriculture. The problem in this study is the standard of YBM BRILiaN's assessment of the level of success and independence of mustahik in the implementation of the MIGP program, the level of transparency and accountability of YBM BRILiaN in the distribution of productive zakat through the MIGP program, and the review of Law Number 23 of 2011 on the effectiveness of productive zakat distribution at YBM BRILiaN. The research method uses a qualitative method in the form of descriptive analysis with an empirical normative approach. Data collection through interviews and documentation. The results showed that the research standards for assessing the level of success and independence of Mustahik were, namely: first, Mustahik can eliminate harm to himself and his responsibility; second, Mustahik is able to empower himself without help from others; and third, Mustahik gets a change in status from Mustahik to Muzakki. The distribution of zakat funds has been carried out very transparently, starting from the determination of mustahik to the method of distribution, and in terms of responsibility, YBM BRILiaN ensures that there is assistance for mustahik and there are reports on the development of mustahik businesses. As for the perspective of Law No. 23 of 2011 on the MIGP program, the results show that this program is effective in improving the quality of the mustahik economy in accordance with the objectives of productive distribution of zakat funds, and its realization has been carried out by considering the provisions in the Zakat Management Law.
ANALISIS IMPLEMENTASI AKAD MURĀBAḤAH BI AL-WAKĀLAH PADA BANK ACEH SYARIAH
Authors: Rosa Amelya
Published: August 2024

Pembiayaan murābaḥah bi al-wakālah merupakan salah satu produk yang cukup sering digunakan dalam praktik pembiayaan kontemporer. Hanya saja, disinyalir bahwa impelemnetasinya cenderung tidak efisien dari aspek cost karena nasabah mengeluarkan biaya berlebih (double cost). Untuk itu masalah yang dianalisis di dalam kajian ini ialah bagaimana mekanisme akad murābaḥah bi al-wakālah pada PT Bank Aceh Syariah, dan bagaimana efisiensi cost atau biaya nasabah dalam implementasi akad murābaḥah bi al-wakālah pada PT Bank Aceh Syariah? Kajian penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan conceptual approach, adapun penelitian ini berjenis penelitian hukum normatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa mekanisme penerapan akad murābaḥah bi al-wakālah di PT. Bank Aceh Syariah adalah pertama bank memberikan surat kontrak perjanjian kepada nasabah untuk ditandatangani bersama. Kontrak yang ditandatangani terdiri dari akad wakālah dan murābaḥah. PT. Bank Aceh Syariah beserta nasabah menandatangani kedua berkas akad secara bersamaan kemudian nasabah dapat mengambil produk yang sudah dibiayai tanpa ada kewajiban untuk mengkonfirmasi kepada bank terkait pembelian barang tersebut. Biaya atau cost yang dikeluarkan nasabah di dalam implementasi akad murābaḥah bi al-wakālah pada PT Bank Aceh Syariah kurang efisien karena munculnya biaya berlebih (double cost) yang dikeluarkan nasabah dalam proses pembiayaan. Bank mewakilkan pembelian kepada nasabah tanpa memberikan upah (ujrah/fee). Efisiensi cost seharusnya dapat dilakukan dengan adanya pengajuan hak bagi nasabah terhadap upah pembelian barang, sehingga double cost yang sebelumnya ditetapkan bank dapat dikurangi dengan pegajuan hak upah tersebut.

Levels of Comprehensive Assessment of the Medical and Economic Efficiency of Healthcare in the Field of Industry Strategy
Authors: Morozova J. A.
Published: August 2024

New tasks set for the healthcare sector by the President of Russia include the transition to a lifestyle that corresponds to the world level, including the support and development of active longevity. For the multi-level methodology of strategizing developed by V. L. Kvint, healthcare sector represents the most promising area of application. The system of strategic measures to achieve the country’s development goals related to the health of the population cannot include only medical or medical-preventive measures; it is advisable to include promotion of a healthy lifestyle, social support for older people and other measures. Essentially, in strategizing, it is advisable to single out the “health care sector” or, more precisely, the “health saving” sphere, which includes all the forces associated with the focus on increasing life expectancy, and the “health care system” as a branch of the economy and social sphere, covering a network of specific institutions and bodies. Thus, a sphere, an industry, a region, an individual medical institution, its specialized unit and an individual medical specialist, as well as an individual citizen (patient) must form a single strategic system (using a digital circuit and other platforms). It is obvious that the essence of the medical effectiveness of the healthcare system as a whole and at the level of individual medical institutions is somewhat different. Establishing a comprehensive all-level assessment of the medical and economic effectiveness of healthcare is, in the author’s opinion, a key task in the formation and implementation of a new healthcare development strategy and relevant government programs and projects. Aligning national, regional and global interests requires such strategic management within a single digital health system.

Authors: Kim Geun-Hyo , Lim Dong-Won , Cheon Yong-Il , Shin Sung-Chan , Lee Byung-Joo , Lee Yeon-Woo
Published: August 2024

Background and Objectives The aim of this study is to compare the acoustic and auditory-perceptual assessment of patients with vocal fold polyps (VP) before and after laryngeal microsurgery (LMS) and voice therapy (VT).Materials and Method A retrospective cohort design was employed. Sustained vowels and continuous speech samples produced by 36 patients diagnosed with VP were analyzed. Treatment outcome measures included, cepstral peak prominence (CPP), smoothed cepstral peak prominence (CPPS), acoustic voice quality index (AVQI), acoustic breathiness index (ABI), auditory-perceptual (A-P) ratings (G of GRBAS scale and overall severity [OS] of consensus auditory-perceptual evaluation of voice), and voice handicap index-10 (VHI-10).Results Following LMS and VT, significant improvements in CPP, CPPS, AVQI, ABI (p<0.001) were observed. Additionally, A-P ratings (G and OS) and VHI-10 (p<0.001) significantly improved following LMS and VT. Acoustic analyses, A-P ratings and VHI-10 indicated that the voice quality has improved following LMS and VT.Conclusion Our study demonstrates that the concurrent application of LMS and VT in patients with VP leads to improvements in both voice quality and patient satisfaction. These findings underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of VP, integrating both surgical and therapeutic interventions for optimal outcomes.

Neurodegenerative Changes in Long COVID: Implications for Pakistan.
Authors: Ahmad Bilal
Published: August 2024

The long-term impact of COVID-19, particularly its association with
neurodegenerative changes, has become a significant concern in the
post-pandemic era. This Letter to the Editor highlights the increasing
incidence of cognitive impairments, dementia, and other
neurodegenerative conditions observed in patients with Long COVID, or
post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Recent studies underscore
the role of chronic inflammation, cerebrovascular alterations, and
immune dysregulation in contributing to these conditions. In countries
like Pakistan, where neurodegenerative diseases are prevalent and
awareness of Long COVID is limited, there is an urgent need for public
health education to address these issues. Educational initiatives should
focus on debunking myths about vaccination, promoting early detection of
neurodegenerative changes, and enhancing the management of Long COVID
through advanced diagnostic technologies. By prioritizing these efforts,
Pakistan can reduce the long-term impact of COVID-19 on
neurodegenerative health and thus, improve overall public health
outcomes.
AN INSIGHT INTO ECO-FRIENDLY PIGMENTS: A REVIEW
Authors: D Sai Roopa , P Prarthana K , Rao Sumangala
Published: August 2024

Natural pigments are becoming more popular because of their health- and
environmentally-conscious qualities. Their application raises concerns
about the consequences of artificial hues on nature and community. As a
result, industries are increasingly searching for pigments made from
natural sources as a substitute. There is a noticeable and consistent
rise in the demand for organic alternatives in today’s society.
Certainly, there is a growing desire to replace artificial substances
with their natural counterparts.There is a strong desire to appreciate
how nature radiates brilliant hues, and this movement has swept the
colorant industry by speed. Many hues are found in plants, animals,
insects, and bacteria. Microbial pigments are still favored above other
natural pigments.Microorganisms are the most common source of pigments,
and they excel in bioavailability, yield, affordability, and ease of
large-scale cell culture and downstream processing. This review examines
the origins of many natural pigments and their varied industrial uses,
as well as the latest technological developments and possible health
advantages. Additionally, a host of difficulties associated with the use
of pigments are described.
Perennialism, culture and modern apocalypse: The philosophical reception of Béla Hamvas
Authors: Pető Zoltán
Published: August 2024

B?la Hamvas (1897-1968) was one of the most outstanding Hungarian thinkers of
the 20th century, whose enormous (and to this day not fully published)
oeuvre represents some of the most important philosophical work ever written
in the Hungarian language. In the form of essays, studies and novels, Hamvas
demonstrated vast erudition that was truly universal in the best sense of
the word. Beyond exponents of modern and premodern philosophy proper, Hamvas
worked at the crossroads of comparative religious studies, theology (not
just that of Christianity but especially of Hinduism), mythology (Buddhist
and other mythologies in addition to Greek and Roman), the history of
religion, eth?ics, psychology, theoretical physics, sociology, social
theory, historical science and mathematics. One of the 20th century?s most
fascinating thinkers writing in Hungarian, Hamvas is ?now without a doubt
part of the canon? even if he has not yet gained full admission to the
pantheon of Hungarian philosophy. He re?mains, to quote P?ter Balassa, very
much ?outside the guild? of the discipline, notwithstanding the string of
studies and monographs published on his work by the early 2020s. What makes
Hamvas truly distinctive as a maverick thinker is the deliberation with
which he attempts to defy the science-driven mindset of modernity, which he
calls ?scientism?, combined with his ability to articulate the terms of this
intellectual resistance on the most sophisticated level.
Choosing specialty: Gender differences and disparities among medical students
Authors: Grozdanovski Nevena , Cikic Jovana
Published: August 2024

Participation of women in medical education has significantly increased in
the last few decades, and they now constitute more than half of the total
number of medical students in many countries. However, their
under representation in traditionally masculine medical specialties is
noticeable. The aim of this study is to highlight the topics in the
previously published works on gender differences in medical education, as
well as the factors influencing their reproduction, especially in the
selection of specialization. A systematic search of papers was conducted
using foreign and domestic electronic databases. We have analyzed 25 foreign
and five domestic papers. In foreign research, five themes were identified:
factors in specialization choice, gender differences in specialization
selection, gender inequalities in medical specialties, gender-based
discrimination in medical specializations and the importance of mentoring in
specialization selection. The results indicate a lower interest of female
students in surgery, discrimination they encounter in ?male? medical
specialties, but also female mentors as one of the possible solutions in
such situations. Working hours and lifestyle were the most important factors
in choosing specialty. Analyzed papers showed that female and male students?
choice of specialty was different. In addition, unequal opportunities for
the advancement of women in medicine are impacted by glass ceiling effect,
which, combined with the push factors and gender stereotypes, led to unequal
representation of men and women in masculine medical specialties.
Additionally, the results point out insufficient exploration of this topic
in domestic literature.
Mathematical ability of Bugis community in designing Lipa' Sabbe of Sengkang
Authors: Busrah Zulfiqar , Aras Andi , Buhaerah Buhaerah , Pathuddin Hikmawati
Published: August 2024

This research is an ethnomathematical research that aims to explore the mathematical abilities of the Bugis people in weaving the lipa’ sabbe. This study applies a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. The data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on the results, it can be explained that in the process of weaving silk, the craftsmen combine the techniques of counting, designing, placing, and measuring as mathematical activity to produce various motifs. The weaver's ability to count and design motifs produces geometric planes that are transformed through a combination of reflection, translation, and dilatation. In making visualized motifs resembling curved planes such as the lagosi motif, the phinisi or the batumesang motif, they are approximated by using a collection of rectangular pixels from the arrangement of warp, weft  and other motif yarns such as gold or viscose. The redesign of the silk motif uses the the number patterns identified on the arrangement of the yarns. In algebra, the lipa’ sabbe motif can be represented by a set of constant functions, parallel linear functions, or degree-n polynomial. The results of this study indicate that the mathematical concepts in lipa’ sabbe motifs are not only in the form of geometric concepts, but also include the concepts of number pattern, and algebra. Based on the manufacturing process and the resulting motifs indicate that the craftsmen have uniq mathematical abilities.
Relationships between teacher’s instructional strategies and their knowledge: A study of seventh-grade mathematics teachers
Authors: Masduki Masduki , Suwarsono Suwarsono , Teguh Budiarto Mega
Published: August 2024

Many studies showed that teachers' knowledge of instructional strategies is related to another component of pedagogical content knowledge. However, studies on teachers' reasons for choosing their instructional strategies still need to be reported. Three mathematics teachers were investigated using a case study research design. The data were gathered through two semi-structured interviews, pre- and post-observation, as well as observations. Pre-observation interviews explored teacher's knowledge of instructional strategies (KIS) based on their experiences or knowledge. Meanwhile, the post-interview investigated teachers' reasons for choosing instructional strategies based on the observations. Five to ten lesson hours were allocated to observe the teachers' activities in learning on the topic of linear equations and inequalities of one variable. A cross-case analysis was performed to compare the teachers' KIS and their reasons for choosing instructional strategies in teaching practice. The findings showed that lecturing, questioning, and solving problems are the most dominant strategies used by teachers. Only one teacher used group discussion in her teaching activities. The finding also indicates that the knowledge of the student's understanding, curriculum, beliefs, and teaching context are factors that influence teachers in choosing instructional strategies. In addition, the reasons for choosing those strategies are varied.

The aims of this research were to determine the effect of addition tapioca flour on the physical and mechanical properties of fish feed (pellets) for tilapia fish aging of 12 weeks old with length 10 – 12 cm. The parameters observed were profile of pellet produced, fineness modulus of fish feed raw materials, moisture content, pellet hardness, water stability of pellet, terminal velocity, pellet density, bulk density of pellet, angle of repose and pellet color. The research was done at three variations of tapioca flour addition which were of 5%, 7.5% and 10% with 10000 g weight of samples for each treatments. The results show that the pellets produced have length of 7.5 - 8.0 mm, fineness modulus of fish feed raw materials ranging from 0.24 to 4.14, the particle size ranging from 0.11 to 1.88 mm, the moisture content of raw materials ranging from 4.24 to 8.46%, the water content of the pellets 10.21 - 12.31%, pellet hardness 5.43 - 9.63 N, water stability of pellets 6.31 - 93.7 minutes, terminal volicity of pellets 1,19 m/s – 0,0009 m/s, the density of pellets 0.71 g / cm3 - 0.81 g / cm3, bulk density of pellets 0,49 g/cm3 – 0,56 g/cm3, angle of repose 37,93o - 44,2o, and pellet color index: Ired 0.54 - 0.57, Igreen 0.35 - 0.36 and Iblue 0.07-0.09. Those are not much different with the commercial fish pellets. Fish pellets with tapioca flour adhesive of 10% in the composition have better water stability and hardness compared with the commercial fish pellets.

Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ulu terletak pada posisi yang cukup strategis karena dihubungkan oleh sistem jaringan jalan arteri primer Lintas Tengah Sumatera di Provinsi Sumatera Selatan. Sebagai wilayah yang ada di perlintasan, Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ulu menghubungkan kota-kota di Pulau Sumatera dengan kota-kota di Pulau Jawa. Selain itu, akses ke Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ulu selain menggunakan kendaraan roda empat dapat pula melalui Jaringan Kereta Api yang merupakan angkutan Barang dan Penumpang yang menghubungkan Kota Palembang–Baturaja–Tanjung Karang.
Curah hujan yang sangat tinggi berkisar antara 2.500 – 3.000 mm per tahun dan daerah yang berbukit serta kerusakan vegetasi pada daerah aliran sungai, yang mempermudah terjadinya, alur sungai yang berkelok dengan kemiringan dasar sungai yang besar menyebabkan laju sidimentasi yang tinggi.  Mitigasi terhadap kondisi ini harus segera dilakukan dengan cara- cara pengendalian banjir mulai dari bagian hulu yaitu dengan membangun tampungan- tampungan air untuk memperlambat waktu tiba banjir dan menurunkan besarnya debit banjir. Penghijauan di Daerah Aliran Sungai dan pembuatan kolam retensi yang dapat merubah pola hidrograf banjir. Bangunan pengendali banjir yang sesuai dengan kondisi Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ulu yang berada di bagian hulu beberapa Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) di Provinsi Sumatera Selatan adalah bangunan air yang besifat bangunan konservasi berupa retention basin, detention basin dan retarding basin.
Hal ini sangat relevan dengan komitmen Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ulu sebagai kabupaten konservasi. Kegiatan yang bersifat konservasi harus segera direalisasi secara berkesinambungan sehingga memberikan banyak dampak menurunkan kejadian banjir dan kerusakan sungai, serta menambah ketersediaan air.
