Published: February 2024

Economic integration aims to facilitate the flow of goods and services between integrated countries by reducing trade barriers, both tariff and non-tariff. At the ASEAN level, implementing economic integration is performed by establishing AFTA. For AFTA's performance to be effective, CEPT and ATIGA schemes are formed. Indonesia and Malaysia have a relationship in AFTA, which is applied one of them in the coffee commodity trade. Because Indonesia is in the position of producers and Malaysia is in the position of consumers. This study aims to analyze the degree of economic integration between Indonesia and Malaysia in coffee from 2001-2020. This study uses the Intra-Industry Index (IIT) approach using the Grubel-Lloyd Index (G-L index) model. Data in this research is secondary data from 2001-2020. The research variables are the volume of Indonesian coffee exports to Malaysia and the volume of Indonesian coffee imports from Malaysia. The results show that Indonesia and Malaysia's average degree of economic integration from 2001-2020 is weak. From 2001-2020 the IIT index fluctuated, with the highest in 2017 at 8.6386 and the lowest in 2011 at 0.169184. From 2001-2020 the most types of coffee exported to Malaysia based on the HS Code were 09011110 (Arabica wib or robusta oib, not roasted, not decaffeinated), while the type of coffee most imported by Indonesia from Malaysia based on the HS Code was 090121200 (Coffee, roasted, not decaffeinated, ground).

Pandemi Covid-19 membawa dampak perubahan pada berbagai hal, yang paling terlihat adalah pola hidup atau kebiasaan manusia. Masyarakat membatasi aktivitas di luar rumah, ketika keluar rumah harus sesuai dengan prokes supaya tidak tertular virus tersebut. Sehingga, mereka lebih banyak melakukan aktivitas apapun di dalam rumah, termasuk kebiasaan berbelanja. Belanja secara online menjadi pilihan karena dirasa lebih aman, tidak banyak berinteraksi dengan pihak lain. Masyarakat juga banyak menciptakan kegiatan yang menyenangkan agar tidak bosan berada di dalam rumah, salah satu kegiatan yang dipilih adalah bercocok tanam atau berkebun. Tanaman paling diminati adalah tanaman hias, yang membawa dampak harga tanaman hias melambung tinggi. Dalam mendukung daya beli masyarakat secara online, maka produsen tanaman juga harus mengubah strategi pemasarannya dengan menggunakan digital marketing. Maka diperlukan cara pengemasan yang tidak merusak tanaman tersebut, sehingga diperlukan bahan  pembungkus yang berlapis dengan spesifikasi tertentu seperti plastik. Bahan pembungkus ini meninbulkan bertumpuknya sampah yang berakibat pada pencemaran lingkungan. Dalam rangka meminimalkan dampak pencemaran lingkungan tersebut, maka produsen tanaman hias perlu menerapkan green product dan green packaging sebagai strategi pemasaran digital. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui respon konsumen terhadap penerapan green product dan green packaging sebagai strategi pemasaran digital khususnya penjualan tanaman hias dan untuk mengetahui pengaruh terhadap peningkatan penjualannya.  Sampel penelitian berjumlah 60 responden dengan teknik analisis data yaitu analisis kualitatif menggunakan Partical Least Square (PLS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pengaruh yang positif terhadap penerapan green product dan green packaging, namun tidak signifikan. Hal tersebut dikarenakan responden menjawab setuju pada variabel green product, green packaging, place, dan price, namun belum diikuti pembelian selanjutnya oleh konsumen.

Kroz istraživanje stavova o marihuani i obrazaca njene upotrebe među zagrebačkim studentima u radu se preispituje analitička upotrebljivost Hirschijevih i Beckerovih mehanizama društvene kontrole devijantnosti. Prikazani su rezultati kvantitativnog istraživanja kojim se željelo utvrditi razlikuju li se korisnici od nekorisnika u sagledavanju teoretski formuliranih mehanizama društvene kontrole upotrebe marihuane – dostupnosti, tajnovitosti, privrženosti, predanosti, uključenosti, uvjerenja i moralnosti. Pokazalo se da se korisnici od nekorisnika razlikuju jedino u dimenzijama moralnosti i uvjerenja te da i jedni i drugi tajnovitost promatraju kao još uvijek važan mehanizam društvene kontrole upotrebe marihuane. Percepcija ostalih mehanizama ne sugerira njihov utjecaj na stavove i prakse konzumiranja marihuane među studentima i ostavlja prostor za razmatranje upotrebe marihuane u terminima društveno podnošljivog oblika devijantnosti.
Pravo na smrt? Eutanazija i potpomognuto samoubojstvo od antike do suvremenog doba
Authors: Aljinović Nevena , Jeličić Ana
Published: February 2024

Pitanja prava na život i poimanje smrti odraz su društvenih vrijednosti, uvriježenih stavova i dominantnih vjerskih opredjeljenja koja su obilježila pojedine etape ljudskog razvoja kroz povijest. Mada pojedine zemlje danas prihvaćaju i odobravaju eutanaziju i/ili medicinski potpomognuto samoubojstvo kao ustoličeno suvereno pravo, ovi postupci i dalje spadaju među najkontroverznija pravna i (bio)etička pitanja te potiču žustre rasprave. Međutim, rasprave o njima nisu novost, budući da su eutanazija i (potpomognuto) samoubojstvo prisutni od pamtivijeka, a temelje se na postavkama različitih promišljanja i poimanja vrijednosti ljudskog života, patnje, ali i prava na (dostojanstvenu) smrt. Cilj rada je raspraviti temu eutanazije kroz povijesnu anamnezu. Geneza ovog fenomena pomaže nam u razumijevanju okolnosti koje su pridonijele njegovu prihvaćanju, ali i žustrom protivljenju i to od antike pa do suvremenog doba.
Budućnost čovjeka u kontekstu transhumanizma
Authors: Kelam Ivica , Bašić Bučanović Mia , Kaluđerović Mijartović Zorica
Published: February 2024

Brz napredak znanosti i tehnologije nepovratno je izmijenio čovjekovu svakodnevnicu. Te su sveprožimajuće promjene s jedne strane podigle kvalitetu čovjekova života i olakšale svakodnevicu. S druge strane, međutim, opsežne tehnološke promjene tema su etičkih rasprava i debata o budućnosti čovječanstva s obzirom na rizike koji proizlaze iz novih tehnologija. Rad istražuje koncepte transhumanizma i kibernetike, analizirajući njihov potencijalni utjecaj na čovjekovu budućnost i etičke izazove koje predstavljaju. Analizirajući obećanja i opasnosti ovih futurističkih ideja, cilj rada je naglasiti važnost odgovornog tehnološkog razvoja i nužnosti sveobuhvatnog reguliranja u oblikovanju tehnološke budućnosti. U tom kontekstu bioetika ima ključnu ulogu u postavljanju granica tehnološkog napretka te usmjeravanju razvoja tehnologije kako bi se sačuvali ljudski moralni principi. Njezina uloga ne leži samo u postavljanju ograničenja, već i u proaktivnom poticanju refleksije o moralnim aspektima tehnološkog napretka. Kroz sinergiju bioetike i društvenih znanosti, a uz pomoć globalne politike, možemo oblikovati budućnost u kojoj tehnologija služi dobrobiti čovjeka, poštujući vrijednosti dostojanstva, pravde i slobode svih pojedinaca.
Test Reliability in Case Law by Analysis of Korean Precedent Judgment Criteria on the Degree of Assault and Intimidation
Authors: Park Ye-Chan , Lee Jae‑Sung
Published: February 2024

The application of criteria from previous judgments in subsequent cases is unclear. One such factor, the degree of assault and intimidation, influences the severity of a crime but is challenging for the public to assess due to its unclear derivation. To address this, numerous studies aim to identify core elements that empirically prove abstract concepts. This study introduces a method for analyzing judgments, extracting elements for each issue based on shared patterns in reference precedents. Unlike previous approaches, it can analyze numerous rulings through extensive data processing. The method relies on judgment criteria and establishes classification criteria according to theory, leading to linear regression results. The model demonstrates that the importance of elements varies for each issue, providing insight into the rationale behind judgments. The public can utilize this model to enhance judgment predictability by analyzing precedents. Moreover, it can be employed to assess judgment reliability in both the Anglo-American and civil law systems that recognize case law.
Predictors of Health Care Practitioners’ Intention to Use AI-Enabled Clinical Decision Support Systems: Meta-Analysis Based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (Preprint)
Authors: Dingel Julius , Kleine Anne-Kathrin , Cecil Julia , Sigl Anna Leonie , Lermer Eva , Gaube Susanne
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Artificial intelligence–enabled clinical decision support systems (AI-CDSSs) offer potential for improving health care outcomes, but their adoption among health care practitioners remains limited.

OBJECTIVE

This meta-analysis identified predictors influencing health care practitioners’ intention to use AI-CDSSs based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Additional predictors were examined based on existing empirical evidence.

METHODS

The literature search using electronic databases, forward searches, conference programs, and personal correspondence yielded 7731 results, of which 17 (0.22%) studies met the inclusion criteria. Random-effects meta-analysis, relative weight analyses, and meta-analytic moderation and mediation analyses were used to examine the relationships between relevant predictor variables and the intention to use AI-CDSSs.

RESULTS

The meta-analysis results supported the application of the UTAUT to the context of the intention to use AI-CDSSs. The results showed that performance expectancy (r=0.66), effort expectancy (r=0.55), social influence (r=0.66), and facilitating conditions (r=0.66) were positively associated with the intention to use AI-CDSSs, in line with the predictions of the UTAUT. The meta-analysis further identified positive attitude (r=0.63), trust (r=0.73), anxiety (r=–0.41), perceived risk (r=–0.21), and innovativeness (r=0.54) as additional relevant predictors. Trust emerged as the most influential predictor overall. The results of the moderation analyses show that the relationship between social influence and use intention becomes weaker with increasing age. In addition, the relationship between effort expectancy and use intention was stronger for diagnostic AI-CDSSs than for devices that combined diagnostic and treatment recommendations. Finally, the relationship between facilitating conditions and use intention was mediated through performance and effort expectancy.

CONCLUSIONS

This meta-analysis contributes to the understanding of the predictors of intention to use AI-CDSSs based on an extended UTAUT model. More research is needed to substantiate the identified relationships and explain the observed variations in effect sizes by identifying relevant moderating factors. The research findings bear important implications for the design and implementation of training programs for health care practitioners to ease the adoption of AI-CDSSs into their practice.
In-Home Positioning for Remote Home Health Monitoring in Older Adults: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Chan Andrew , Cai Joanne , Qian Linna , Coutts Brendan , Phan Steven , Gregson Geoff , Lipsett Michael , Ríos Rincón Adriana M
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

With the growing proportion of Canadians aged >65 years, smart home and health monitoring technologies may help older adults manage chronic disease and support aging in place. Localization technologies have been used to support the management of frailty and dementia by detecting activities in the home.

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review aims to summarize the clinical evidence for in-home localization technologies, review the acceptability of monitoring, and summarize the range of technologies being used for in-home localization.

METHODS

The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology was followed. MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and Scopus were searched with 2 reviewers performing screening, extractions, and quality assessments.

RESULTS

A total of 1935 articles were found, with 36 technology-focused articles and 10 articles that reported on patient outcomes being included. From moderate- to high-quality studies, 2 studies reported mixed results on identifying mild cognitive dementia or frailty, while 4 studies reported mixed results on the acceptability of localization technology. Technologies included ambient sensors; Bluetooth- or Wi-Fi–received signal strength; localizer tags using radio frequency identification, ultra-wideband, Zigbee, or GPS; and inertial measurement units with localizer tags.

CONCLUSIONS

The clinical utility of localization remains mixed, with in-home sensors not being able to differentiate between older adults with healthy cognition and older adults with mild cognitive impairment. However, frailty was detectable using in-home sensors. Acceptability is moderately positive, particularly with ambient sensors. Localization technologies can achieve room detection accuracies up to 92% and linear accuracies of up to 5-20 cm that may be promising for future clinical applications.

Decision Support Tool to Improve Decision-Making for HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP): Development Process and Alpha Testing (Preprint)
Authors: Ajiboye Wale , Yusuf Abban , Pedersen Cheryl , Brown Rebecca , Dzonsons Kristaps , Nelson LaRon
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

African, Caribbean, and Black (Black) communities in Canada are disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective option for the prevention of HIV. However, the use of PrEP for HIV prevention among eligible Black clients in Canada remains far below the thresholds necessary to achieve the goal of zero new HIV infections. In a recent study in Toronto, PrEP-eligible Black clients were found to have decisional conflict and unmet decisional needs, which affected the quality of their decision-making process regarding the initiation and adherence to PrEP. There is evidence that decision support tools (DSTs) can improve the quality of a decision, the quality of the decision-making process, the implementation or continuation of the chosen option, and the appropriate use of health services. Despite these benefits, there is currently no DST for PrEP-eligible Black clients being asked to consider PrEP for HIV prevention.

OBJECTIVE

Our study aimed to develop a DST to improve PrEP decision-making for Black clients and to evaluate the tool’s acceptability and usability.

METHODS

We developed and evaluated the PrEP DST for Black patients using the 7-step process outlined in the Ottawa Decision Support Group Guideline for the development and evaluation of DST. To facilitate the implementation of the Ottawa Decision Support Group guideline, we assembled a multidisciplinary team of primary health care providers, researchers, community members with lived experiences, and digital content designers to serve as the steering committee. First, we assessed patients’ and primary health care providers’ views on decisional support needs, after which we determined the content, design, and distribution plan for the DST. Subsequently, we conducted evidence synthesis, reviews, and appraisal before developing the PrEP DST prototype. The final tool was reviewed by steering committee members for completeness before acceptability and usability testing with potential Black clients and PrEP providers.

RESULTS

The web-based DST yielded 27 pages divided into 6 distinct sections. The six sections include (1) an introduction of the DST, (2) clarify your decision, (3) knowledge, (4) a value clarification exercise, (5) support system, and (6) next steps. Both Black clients and PrEP providers reported ease of task performance, general satisfaction, and usefulness of the tool to support decision-making for Black clients. Feedback on usability centered on the need to add a user guide to increase usability. All feedback was incorporated into the final tool.

CONCLUSIONS

A PrEP DST for Black clients developed using a systematic process and a multidisciplinary steering committee was acceptable and usable by both Black clients and PrEP providers. Further study (eg, randomized controlled trials) may be needed to evaluate the efficacy of the PrEP DST.

Published: February 2024

Objective: Traditional therapies are increasingly explored as alternative methods for the management of diabetic ulcer. VCO and black cumin oil has attracted attention for its potential therapeutic benefits in promoting skin wound healing.

Methods: The rats were induced with one dose diabetes mellitus through the of intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin 55 mg/kg body weight. Furthermore, fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels were monitored weekly for assessment. The wound was created using a 10-mm diameter punch biopsy. An experimental methodology was used, comprising the division of 30 rats into six groups, namely control, VCO, black cumin oil, and combinations of VCO and black cumin oil labeled as C1, C2, and C3. The formulated treatments were topically applied to wound for 7 and 14 d. At the end of the treatment, the samples were sacrificed and wound was excised, followed by molecular biological analysis and histopathological examination.

Results: On day 7, VEGF gene expression showed the highest increase in the C3 group, with an average of 1.85±0.10. Meanwhile, the highest increase on day 14 was observed in the C3 group, with an average of 1.69±0.11. C3 group treated wounds healed much faster, as indicated by a decreased time of complete epithelization and higher levels of various skin components.

Conclusion: The combination of VCO and black cumin oil could be used as an agent to accelerate wound healing in diabetic conditions, as indicated by the increased expression of VEGF gene.

These methods facilitate data analysis derived from spectra and wavelengths, enabling the categorization of objects and providing high accuracy.

Methods: This study aimed to determine whether processed products in Medan contain lard using UV spectrophotometry, Linear Discriminant Analysis, and Principal Component Analysis methods.

Results: The highest fat yield was obtained from lard at 14.24%, while the lowest was from chicken fat at 7.00%. The maximum wavelength results for control samples were 234 nm for chicken fat, 237 nm for beef fat, and 268 nm for lard. Data processing using Linear Discriminant Analysis and Principal Component Analysis showed that the processed products of three random samples, nugget, meatball, and sausage type A and C, fell within the same quadrant as chicken fat. Meatball and sausage type B were in the same quadrant as beef fat.

Conclusion: Based on the identification of lard in processed products in Medan City using UV spectrophotometer by LDA and PCA, all random samples of nuggets, meatballs, and sausages do not contain lard, and this method can classify chicken fat, beef fat, lard well.

Objective: Cowanin, isolated from the stem bark of Asam kandis (Garcinia cowa Roxb.) has been known to have cytotoxic activity in MCF-7/HER2 breast cancer cells. Recent studies have reported that cowanin compounds can inhibit MCF-7/HER2 cell migration and the T47D cell cycle in the G0-G1 phase. This research aims to determine the effect of cowanin on the cyclin D1 protein expression in MCF-7/HER2 breast cancer cells.

Methods: The treatment consisted of a negative control group and a group given cowanin at a concentration of IC50 value (10,51 µM). The expression of cyclin D1 protein was detected using the western blot method. Observations of protein area and density were carried out using ImageJ software. Data were analyzed using the independent T-test.

Results: The research showed that cowanin compounds induced cell cycle arrest of MCF-7/HER2 breast cancer cells by reducing the expression of cyclin D1 protein (p<0,05).

Conclusion: The findings show that cowanin can significantly decrease the area and density of cyclin D1 protein

The Effects of Stress Perception and Experience of Loneliness on Depression Change Due to COVID-19 in Adolescents: Mediating Effect of Fatigue Recovery through Sleep and Experience of Anxiety Disorder
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Ji Hyun , Wi Ok Youn
Published: February 2024

Objectives This study is intended to investigate the effects of stress perception and experience of loneliness on depression change due to COVID-19 in adolescents and provide basic data to improve their mental health.
Methods This study is a secondary analysis based on data from the '17th (2021) Korean Youth Health Behavior Survey'. Complex sample frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, and correlation analysis were conducted using SPSS/WIN 20. Additionally, the mediating effects of sleep for fatigue recovery and the experience of anxiety dis-orders were analyzed using SPSS AMOS 20.
Results In this study, the mediating effects of fatigue recovery through sleep and the experience of anxiety dis-orders were analyzed in the context of stress perception and changes in depression levels. It was found that stress perception significantly influenced fatigue recovery through sleep (β=-.27, p=.003), experiences of anxiety dis-orders (β=.38, p=.006), and changes in depression (β=.09, p=.023). Similarly, when examining the effects of the experience of loneliness, significant influences were observed on fatigue recovery through sleep (β=-.13, p=.028), experiences of anxiety disorders (β=.36, p=.018), and changes in depression (β=.24, p=.008). Furthermore, fatigue recovery through sleep significantly impacted changes in depression (β=-.05, p=.009), as did experiences of anxiety disorders (β=.21, p=.011). Additionally, both fatigue recovery through sleep and experi-ences of anxiety disorders exerted indirect effects in the relationships between stress perception and changes in depression (β=.10, p=.002), as well as between experiences of loneliness and changes in depression (β=.08, p=.001), suggesting partial mediation.
Conclusions Considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on adolescents' depression and mental health, the development and implementation of programs aimed at enhancing sleep quality and alleviating anxiety are essential. These programs should incorporate strategies for reducing stress and promoting social interactions among adolescents.
Two conflicting logics of higher-level learning recognition
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Eunjung
Published: February 2024

Objectives This paper discusses the two conflicting logics of learning recognition that underlie the higher-level learning recognition system.
Methods For this purpose, higher education was divided into university and non-university areas and the logic of learning recognition that developed historically in each area was examined. The two logics of learning recognition were analyzed while reviewing the evolution of learning recognition that has developed in the field of university higher education, focusing on degrees and credit systems, and in the field of non-university higher education, fo-cusing on vocational qualifications.
Results Throughout its long history, universities have established a learning recognition system with the logic of process-based recognition as its core. While various prototypes of higher-level learning and education existed, degrees and credits played a major role in establishing universities at the core of higher education. On the other hand, in the non-university sector, a learning recognition system has been established based on the logic of out-come-based recognition, and is now being emphasized more at the national and supranational policy level. In this context, it is frequent today that process-based recognition and outcome-based recognition logic are combined to build a learning recognition system, and in the process, the two heterogeneous learning recognition logics are showing signs of conflict.
Conclusions Because the two learning recognition logics of process-based recognition and outcome-based rec-ognition are conflicting logics, it is natural that they primarily show conflicting aspects. Nevertheless, the reason why attempts to combine the two logics in a convergent manner rather than in conflict are being actively made at the national and supranational level is because it is becoming more clear that human capabilities cannot be com-prehensively evaluated and recognized by any single logic. In light of global trends, we can take a critical look at how our society is fundamentally restructuring the learning recognition system by combining the two learning rec-ognition logics. Since the higher-level learning recognition system is a measure that clearly shows how society designs higher education system, it is necessary to deeply examine the conflicting logics of learning recognition and consider ways to combine them.

Published: February 2024

Objectives In this study, the adult executive functioning scale ADEXI(Adult Executive Functioning Inventory) de-veloped by Holst and Thorell (2017) was adapted and validated into Korean to measure the executive function ing of adults.
Methods An executive functioning scale was selected through a review of previous research literature, permission to use the scale was obtained from the original author, and the Korean Adult Executive Functioning Scale (KADEXI) was constructed through translation and back-translation. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on 237 adults aged 19 or older.
Results Confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and convergent and criterion validity were verified. The Korean adult executive functioning scale was ultimately composed of 14 items each for self-report and other-re-port, and the subfactors were 9 items for working memory and 5 items for inhibition, identical to the original scale. A test-retest performed 2 weeks later was found to be reliable.
Conclusions By presenting specific difficulties in daily life through the validation of a Korean scale measuring adult executive functioning, it appears to be of great clinical utility in that it can provide guidance for therapeutic inter-vention and change. In addition, when implementing the executive functioning scale, cross-verification with self-report and meaningful other person's report can be used to ensure validity in identifying the degree of execu-tive functioning deficiency.

Published: February 2024

Objectives The purpose of this paper is to propose a teaching approach that enables academic-oriented learners to understand and interpret Korean culture from an intercultural perspective, and present their findings as they ac-tively reflect on their own experiences and engage in discussions. Throughout this process, the researcher is ex-pected to validate learners’ improvement in their intercultural competence through team projects.
Methods For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 23 students from University A in Incheon and 24 students from University B in Seoul taking the class “Presentation and Discussion”. The results of the survey were reflected when designing the class and directing students to work on their presentation projects.
Results Initially, a survey was conducted to identify learners' experiences in learning Korean, their preferences re-garding collaborative learning, as well as their interest in Korean popular culture and specific elements of Korean culture they found interesting in particular. Subsequently, the content on Korean culture presented by the teams for their mid-term exam was analyzed to examine the learners' process in interculturally understanding Korean culture.
Conclusions The research revealed that academic-oriented learners, through collaborative learning and compar-ing Korean culture with their own, gained an intercultural understanding on various aspects of Korean culture. Furthermore, by sharing their personal experiences in Korean culture with other learners, they were able to en-hance their intercultural competence.
