Authors: Iman Ahsanul , Mandala Putra Hadian , Nuzuluddin M.
Published: February 2025

Salah satu faktor penting untuk menentukan kedisiplinan seorang staf adalah dengan mencatat kehadiran staf. Sistem absensi yang selama ini digunakan adalah menggunakan mesin. Mesin seperti ini memberikan otomatisasi dan fleksibilitas dalam pencatatan kehadiran karyawan atau staf. Absensi staf menggunakan mesin ini juga memiliki kekurangan. Kekurangan yang bisa didapatkan dari sistem absensi ini adalah boros kertas sehingga bisa dikatakan masih secara manual. Teknik manual ini menimbulkan berbagai masalah, misalnya membutuhkan banyak kertas sehingga, arsip absensi dan data bisa jadi rusak karena sobek dan berbagai kondisi lainnya. Oleh sebab itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat sistem absensi staf menggunakan KTP berbasis internet of things (iot) untuk meminimalisir pemborosan kertas. Alat ini dirancang dengan memadukan kerja NodeMCU ESP8266 dengan Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) kedalam sebuah sistem absensi. Data berupa nomor id KTP dimanfaatkan sebagai data nomor kartu staf. Saat kartu staf yang berupa KTP ditempelkan pada Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), datanya secara otomatis masuk kedalam database kehadiran. Led akan menyala apabila data staf sesuai, sebaliknya led tidak menyala apabila data staf tidak sesuai. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) dapat membaca kartu KTP dengan baik pada jarak maksimum 3 cm. Data kehadiran dapat dicatat dengan baik dalam database yang dibuat dengan menggunakan web.

Air bersih merupakan kebutuhan yang sangat diperlukan, tak terkecuali bagi masyarakat di Dusun Jangkar, Desa Setungkep Lingsar Kecamatan Keruak. Masyarakakt di Dusun Jangkar menggunakan air sumur untuk keperluan sehari-hari dan ada juga yang menggunakan sumber mata air. Di Dusun Jangkar terdapat mata air yang bisa digunakan sebagai alternatif memenuhi kebutuhan air saat pasokan air kurang, akan tetapi kualitas dari mata air tersebut belum diketahui dengan pasti karena belum ada studi mengenai hal ini sebelumnya. Tujuan penelitian ini, untuk menguji kualitas dari mata air Lingkok Pancor. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah survei dengan pendekatan Deskriptif Kuantitatif. Uji laboratorium dilakukan dengan memperhatikan tiga parameter yaitu, parameter fisika, kimia, dan biologi. Hasil uji laboratorium dibandingkan dengan standar baku mutu kualitas air menurut PermenKes RI No 32 Tahun 2017 dan PP No. 22 Tahun 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan beberapa parameter masih memenuhi standar (warna, suhu, bau, rasa, kekeruhan, kesadahan, nitrat, dan ph) sedangkan parameter yang melewati batas standar baku mutu adalah TDS, BOD, COD, DO, dan Bakteri E-Coli dan deterjen. Nilai parameter yang melebihi standar diduga disebabkan oleh limbah cair domestik karena ada beberapa rumah yang berada tepat di atas lokasi mata air dan kondisi saluran pembuangan limbah yang masih sangat sederhana, menyebabkan perlu adanya penanganan atau pegelolaan terhadap mata air Lingkok Pancor jika memang pemanfaatannya dimasa yang akan dating masih diperlukan.

Desa Ketapang Raya merupakan salah satu desa yang memiliki potensi pariwisata pesisir seperti ekosistem mangrove yang masih alami yang dikelola oleh pemerintah desa setempat berkerja sama dengan kelompok pemuda sadar wisata (POKDARWIS). Pengembangan pariwisata pesisir yang dimaksud adalah ekowisata mangrove sebagai objek wisata dan edukasi yang dapat dikunjungi wisatawan selain objek wisata pantai yang ada di Desa Ketapang Raya. Melalui sektor ekowisata mangrove diharapkan akan menumbuhkan kesadaran setiap orang untuk melestarikan ekosistem mangrove dan ekosistem pesisir lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui indeks kesesuaian wisata (IKW) mangrove di Desa Ketapang Raya. Indeks kesesuaian wisata mangrove (IKW) mempertimbangkan lima perameter matriks kesesuaian ekowisata mangrove  yaitu ketebalan mangrove, kerapatan mangrove, jenis mangrove, pasang surut, dan objek biota. Kesesuaian ekowisata mangrove ditentukan berdasarkan perkalian skor dan bobot yang diperoleh dari setiap parameter. Hasil analisis data yang telah dilakukan, kondisi ekosistem mangrove di Desa Ketapang Raya termasuk dalam kategori tidak sesuai untuk dijadikan wisata dengan nilai total rata-rata kesesuaian wisata (IKW) 1,28. Kondisi ini dikarenakan karena rendahnya nilai yang didapatkan pada parameter ketebalan mangrove dan nilai rata-rata kerapatan mangrove pada setiap transek. Sedangkan untuk nilai yang didapatkan dari parameter jenis mangrove, pasang surut, dan objek biota termasuk tergolong kategori sedang jika berdasarkan parameter kesesuaian sumber daya untuk  wisata pantai kategori wisata mangrove.

New innovative therapies are urgently needed to combat the high morbidity associated with sickle cell crises. Given the many side effects associated with conventional anti-inflammatories, the use of herbal medicines would be beneficial for patients. In an effort to help manage chronic inflammation in sickle cell disease, a three-herb recipe was used to test the anti-inflammatory activity elicited by Freund's Complete Adjuvent in Wistar rats. Rats' pulp volume and hematological parameters were measured. After the 20 days of treatment, the extracts from the recipe reduced the edema caused by CFA and the proliferation of the number of leukocytes, the level of fibrinogen and also increased the level of hemoglobin which is the key parameter of anemia. These observed effects are due to the antioxidant power of phenolic compounds and alkaloids, the terpenoids present in the extracts of ZHm.

Published: February 2025

Reading comprehension is an essential skill that students must master in learning activities, particularly in Indonesian language learning. Good reading comprehension skills enable students to grasp key information, understand text structure, and summarize presented material. This research aims to determine the effect of the Quantum Reading method on the reading comprehension skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Islam Nurul Karomah in the 2024/2025 academic year. The research employs a quantitative experimental method using a One-Group Pretest Posttest Design. This design involves two tests: pretest and posttest. The pretest assesses students' initial abilities, followed by treatment using the Quantum Reading method. Subsequently, a posttest is conducted to evaluate the learning outcomes after the treatment. The research findings indicate an improvement in students' reading comprehension skills after the application of the Quantum Reading method. The initial observation through the pretest shows an average student score of 63,86 categorized as sufficient. However, after the treatment and posttest, the average score significantly increased to 86,36 categorized as good. This result is supported by the t-test analysis, which shows a t-value of 27,27 greater than the t-table value of 1,720 at a 0,05significance level. Therefore, the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. This proves that the Quantum Reading method significantly influences the improvement of reading comprehension skills in news texts among eighth-grade students at SMP Islam Nurul Karomah in the 2024/2025 academic year.
Model of Depression and the Cure method
Authors: Lee Alex
Published: February 2025

One thing happens in front of a child and an adult, the adult’s neural pathway about this thing is actived and emits conscious wave, the child gets this conscious wave and grows up the same neural pathway as this adult, the child can copy different people’s neural pathways. So the number of one neural pathway can be superposed from one to several even more. The superposition of one neural pathway causes the superposition of the chemistry emission of the neural pathway in brain. After many generations, if there are huge numbers of the superposition of the neural pathway in one person’s brain, there are huge amount of chemistry emission in brain. If this neural pathway emits poison or negative chemistry, the superposition of the poison or the negative chemistry to a large quantity makes this person can not bear, the suicide is the end of the emission of so much poison in neural system. Also, the depression emissions are the highest frequency as a brain waves when the symptoms are appeared, by eliminating the depression nodes ,the depression can be cured.
Proximity to Riots: Spatial Exposure and Attitude toward the Police in Africa
Authors: Yameogo Souleymane
Published: February 2025

Public trust in the police is essential for community safety and effective law enforcement. However, riots—marked by destruction, chaos, and sometimes loss of life—can erode this trust, as police are often seen as either ineffective or threatening. Despite abundant literature, there has been comparatively less emphasis on how exposure to riots—specifically the nature of the riot and the proximity of individuals to such events—affects public trust in the police. This study addresses this gap by introducing a framework incorporating both spatial and temporal dimensions of riot exposure. Drawing on Terror Management Theory (TMT) and Social Identity Theory (SIT) and using geocoded data from the Afrobarometer surveys and the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), this study analyzes approximately 15,000 observations across 23 African countries. Findings show that proximity to riots decreases trust in the police. Interestingly, mob violence—compared to violent demonstrations—can increase trust due to heightened vulnerability and anxiety. These results contribute to the literature by reconciling conflicting findings on police-public relations and emphasizing the importance of context-specific policing strategies. Policymakers must focus on localized responses that balance violence suppression with community protection to rebuild trust during civil unrest.

Common cold still can not been cured. Author found out that cooling or heating the human body lead to lower temperature or higher temperature in cell in respiratory system which cause cold. Human cell expand when heated and contract when cooled. Heating the frozen cells to normal temperature can expand the contracted cell and stop the squeezing of clear liquid which cures low temperature cold. Cooling the hot cell to normal temperature can contract the expanded cell and stop the producing of yellow snot which cures the high temperature cold. The cold cause the temperature of the human cell match the binding temperature of cold virus, which leads the cold virus binding with human cell. The cold virus is not the origin and cause of cold.

Published: February 2025

Do strategies of state-sponsored homophobia translate into electoral gains? While a growing body of literature documents the increasing politicization of LGBTQ- and gender-related issues by illiberal elites, little is known about the electoral effects of these strategies. We address this important question by studying whether anti-LGBTQ mobilization pays off electorally for the initiating party. Empirically, we study the adoption of anti-LGBTQ resolutions in many Polish municipalities prior to the 2019 parliamentary election. Using a synthetic difference-in-differences design, we find that these resolutions significantly depressed turnout in affected municipalities, with opposition parties showing less mobilization capacity. By contrast, turnout for the incumbent Law and Justice Party increased substantially. Overall, this study's findings are relevant for understanding the electoral consequences of both elite-led mobilization against stigmatized and discriminated groups, and policies of subnational democratic backsliding.
Correcting for selection bias after conditioning on a sum score in the Ising model
Authors: Boot Jesse , de Ron Jill , Haslbeck Jonas M B , Epskamp Sacha
Published: February 2025

In psychological studies, it is common practice to select a sample based on the sum score of the modeled variables (e.g., based on symptom severity when investigating the associations between those same symptoms). However, this practice introduces bias if the sum score selection imperfectly defines the population of interest. Here, we propose a correction for this type of selection bias in the Ising model, a popular network model for binary data. Possible applications of our correction are when one wants to obtain (1) full population estimates when only the sum score subset of the data is available; and (2) improved estimates of a subpopulation, if we observe a mixture of populations that differ from each other in the sum score. In a simulation study, we verify that our correction recovers the network structure of the desired population after a sum score selection using both a nodewise regression- and a multivariate estimation of the Ising model. In an example, we show how our correction can be used in practice using empirical data on symptoms of major depression from the National Comorbidity Study-Replication (N = 9,282). We implemented our correction in four commonly used R-packages for estimating the Ising model, namely IsingFit, IsingSampler, psychonetrics, and bootnet.
Optimal Salaries of Researchers with Motivational Emergence
Authors: Knar Eldar
Published: February 2025

In the context of scientific policy and science management, this study examines the system of nonuniform wage distribution for researchers. A nonlinear mathematical model of optimal remuneration for scientific workers has been developed, considering key and additive aspects of scientific activity: basic qualifications, research productivity, collaborative projects, skill enhancement, distinctions, and international collaborations. Unlike traditional linear schemes, the proposed approach is based on exponential and logarithmic dependencies, allowing for the consideration of saturation effects and preventing artificial wage growth due to mechanical increases in scientific productivity indicators.The study includes detailed calculations of optimal, minimum, and maximum wages, demonstrating a fair distribution of remuneration on the basis of researcher productivity. A linear increase in publication activity or grant funding should not lead to uncontrolled salary growth, thus avoiding distortions in the motivational system.The results of this study can be used to reform and modernize the wage system for researchers in Kazakhstan and other countries, as well as to optimize grant-based science funding mechanisms. The proposed methodology fosters scientific motivation, long-term productivity, and the internationalization of research while also promoting self-actualization and ultimately forming an adequate and authentic reward system for the research community.Specifically, in resource-limited scientific systems, science policy should focus on the qualitative development of individual researchers rather than quantitative expansion (e.g., increasing the number of scientists). This can be achieved through the productive progress of their motivation and self-actualization.

The ancient city of Akkad, founded by King Sargon around 2300 BCE, served as the capital of the Akkadian Empire, the first known empire in history. Despite its immense historical significance, its precise location remains unknown, and scholars have debated its whereabouts for over 140 years. This study examines historical records, archaeological evidence, and geographical data to refine the search for Akkad. Utilizing textual sources such as the royal inscriptions, and references in the Curse of Agade the research establishes Akkad as a city distinct from Babylon but closely connected through a network of canals.The study explores Akkad’s role as a strategic political, economic, and religious center, examining its connections to nearby cities such as Sippar, Kish, Kutha, Adab and Nippur. The analysis of trade records and reconstructed inscriptions suggests that Akkad was a major commercial hub, possibly located at the junction of multiple canals rather than directly on the Tigris or Euphrates rivers. Additionally, references to Akkad’s quay indicate a sophisticated water management system that facilitated trade and transportation.Using Google Earth satellite imagery, the study identifies potential remnants of ancient canal networks and structures. The A suggests that Akkad was likely located east of Babylon, beyond the ruins of Kish, near 32°32’21” N, 45°13’02” E, where traces of the Kish-Akkad Canal and other artificial waterways are visible. This evidence aligns with historical descriptions of Akkad’s role in Mesopotamian trade, military strategy, and religious influence.This research contributes new insights into Akkad’s potential location and urban infrastructure, offering a basis for future archaeological investigations. Ground surveys and excavation at the identified site could provide definitive confirmation of Akkad’s long-lost ruins, shedding light on one of the most significant cities in ancient history.
Football Fandom in Egypt
Authors: Jerzak Connor T.
Published: February 2025

In this chapter, I survey the football fandom ecosystem in Egypt. I first describe the media environment around the sport and chart out the geographic structure of fan support for teams in the Egyptian Premier League. I then examine how fandom intersects with politics, both as Egyptian leaders have sought to use support around Egyptian football to build legitimacy, but also how Egyptian football fans have often been a significant political force acting independently of the ruling regime. I argue that different groups in Egypt have sought to use the intense interest in Egyptian football to pursue external goals, a dynamic that sometimes generates conflict when these goals are at odds. I conclude by outlining the social organization of football fandom. I illustrate how the most committed fans are young single men living in urban areas and who are more engaged in religion than the average citizen, after which I describe the role of women and the Coptic Christian minority in Egyptian football.NB -- Uncorrected proofs for: Jerzak, Connor T. ``Football Fandom in Egypt.''

Artykuł prezentuje część wyników badań autorów nad stronniczością polityczną polskich mediów w okresie poprzedzającym elekcję parlamentarną w 2023 r. W opracowaniu została przedstawiona analiza zawartości trzech najpopularniejszych telewizyjnych audycji informacyjnych w Polsce: „Wiadomości” TVP, „Wydarzeń” Polsatu i „Faktów” TVN, nadawanych w ciągu miesiąca przed dniem wyborów parlamentarnych. Zebrane dane wykorzystano do obliczenia miernika w postaci Indeksu Stronniczości Politycznej Mediów, który umożliwia porównywanie skali stronniczości różnych mediów w tym samym czasie oraz tego samego medium w różnych okresach. Zaprezentowane wyniki pozwalają ocenić, która audycja informacyjna była najbardziej, a która najmniej stronnicza, oraz porównać siłę stronniczości z wynikami dotyczącymi okresu przed poprzednimi wyborami parlamentarnymi.
The Problem of the Size of Municipalities in Slovenia: Views of Residents and Mayors
Authors: Hacek Miro , Bukovnik Alan
Published: February 2025

The paper analyses the territorial aspects of Slovenian municipalities and the problem of their optimal size. The central question of it, namely, what the ideal or optimal size of municipalities should be in terms of population and surface area, so that they can effectively perform their tasks and at the same time ensure adequate participation of citizens, is a difficult one in political science and has no clear answer. As many other European countries, Slovenia has been facing difficulties since the dawn of its independence (1991) in finding the ideal or optimal size of municipalities and the corresponding scope of their competences. Political arguments often prevail over expert ones, which confirms the seriousness of a social problem that goes beyond local self-government and affects the whole country. The search for the ideal size of municipalities – whether by partitioning or merging them – has been a hotly debated issue, dividing both politicians and the professional community, yet according to the results of the analysis carried out, Slovenia may not be as far from the ideal size of municipalities as these debates sometimes make it seem.

Children form their habits from their father and mother. The relationship of children with their parents influences almost their entire life. The present study aims to study the effect of parent-child relationship on the children’s attitude towards drugs and alcohol. The objective of the present research work was to examine the relationship of children’s attitude towards drugs and alcohol with five aspects i.e. protection, indifference, symbolic reward, loving and object reward of parent-child relationship. The researcher has employed survey method under descriptive research. Attitude towards drugs and alcohol is the dependent variable and parent-child relationship is the independent variable of this study. Multistage random sampling method was used to select 200 children from district Dehradun. Collected data has been analyzed using pearson coefficient of correlation. The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between protection dimension of parent-child relationship and children’s attitude towards drugs and alcohol. It has been found that the children who face highly indifference of their mother are likely to have low attitude towards drugs and alcohol. It was observed that the children who are given more symbolic rewards by their mother are likely to have low attitude towards drugs and alcohol. A significant negative correlation has been found between loving dimension of parent-child relationship and children’s attitude towards drugs and alcohol. A significant negative correlation has been found between object reward dimension of parent-child relationship and children’s attitude towards drugs and alcohol. It has been found that the children who are given more object rewards by their mother are likely to have low attitude towards drugs and alcohol.
Inequality and Interdependence: An Analogy of Caste and Sex
Authors: Suresh Kumar P.M.
Published: February 2025

Human beings are unequal primarily in terms of sex -- both in outward look and inner biological mechanism of sex. This smallest and broadest social stratification could be conceived as composed of two groups -- male and female. This sexual segregation among human beings plays a significant role in how they are represented in society. The difference in physique has long been a factor in discriminating them and connecting it to a chain of extraneous factors such as power, resources, and opportunities. The entire concept of patriarchy is built up on the premise that women are weak. Power, resources, and opportunities are unequally distributed across genders much like that of social groups such as class or caste.  All this has generated a deep-rooted inequality from time immemorial that the present-day civilization is trying hard to battle. Despite these, we find an apparent complementarity that exists to convert all the differences into one of interdependence. Inequality and interdependence are two mutually opposing forces, the former denoting a tone of disparage while the latter a sense of unification. The premise is almost like males are good as fathers while females are good as mothers. Role differentiation, skill sets, and mental make support this. These complementarities have converted differences of negatives into differences of positives. This paper is an attempt to visualize the facets of inequality among sexes and its complementarity to create interdependence, paving the way for social cohesion, and comparing it with a broader grouping namely caste.

Colonization had a huge impact on Sri Lankan society. Because of that new social organizations, more political corporations, new institutions, new literature, new culture and gestures were established in the Sri Lankan social context. Among these the main reason for the change in Sinhala literature was western literature. The novel is a genre of modern literature. The Novel came into Sinhala literature through modern literature that came with the colonization. The Sinhala novel, which started as a simple fiction story and acquired the form and quality of a novel in the first decade of the twenty-first century, has now become a powerful literal category. During the colonial period, orientalism mainly influenced the novel. According to colonialism, European society is defined as the center and other societies outside Europe as the margin. This social climate is questioned by Orientalism. It is one of the forms found in novels written in the early period. But the western novel began to develop rapidly based on new literary concepts. When the post-colonial era came, new concepts of literature influenced Sinhala literature. Out of all, it influenced the Sinhala novel most. The new concepts called center and margin started to appear during this era. Realist novels reveal that the capitalist classes are at the center and proletariat is the margin of the Sri Lankan social context. Sunethra Rajakarunanayake’s Sandun Gira Gini Ganiyi (1989) is a novel in its own right as the disclosure of how that situation operates as a social force.
