Authors:   Member of the Association of Entrepreneurs and Executives, expert in team management, top manager, Mysov A. A.
Published: September 2024

In the public sector, strategic partnerships are essential to improve service delivery and foster innovation. Often formed between government and private sector organizations, these alliances play an important role in sharing knowledge, resources, and capabilities to address complex challenges that individual organizations cannot address without government support. Such collaboration can lead to the development of more efficient public business services, which ultimately benefits society as a whole. Multifunctional centers (MFCs) are a successful example of synergy between government and business aimed at improving the quality of public services and increasing their accessibility. This article examines the mechanisms of interaction between government and the private sector in the creation and operation of MFCs, as well as the impact of this partnership on the efficiency of the center and citizen satisfaction. The practical significance of the article lies in the fact that the study of the partnership between the state and business on the example of multifunctional centers will allow us to develop and implement the most effective areas of implementation, which will eventually lead to the greatest effectiveness of relations between the parties.

Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Moscow, Russia, Berezovka Sergei V.
Published: September 2024

The research is devoted to the development of methodological proposals for the creation of a universal algorithm for calculating unit economics, invariantly applicable in various fields of activity. A theoretical analysis is carried out, the basics and problems of universalization of unit economics in business analysis are characterized, the difficulties and specific features that companies face when carrying out these calculations are revealed. The ways of ensuring the universality of the unit economy are identified, which involve the development of algorithms that take into account general business performance metrics and specific industry factors. Based on the analysis of existing approaches to the calculation of the unit economy, the limitations of universal methods are highlighted and ways to overcome them are proposed. The necessity of including specific efficiency factors in calculations is justified, which will allow taking into account the specifics of specific industries and business models. A universal algorithm for calculating the unit economy using an efficiency factor, which has an experimental character, is proposed, which allows adjusting the results depending on specific business conditions. The use of this algorithm allows for an express analysis of the company’s unit economy, ensures the specified accuracy and effectiveness of calculations in assessing the economic efficiency of various business models, which is confirmed by the results of theoretical modeling. The proposed algorithm provides the possibility of applying unit economics in strategic business management in various industries. According to the results of the study, the need to take into account specific factors in the calculation of the unit economy is actualized, since this allows to increase the accuracy of calculations, contributes to the adoption of more balanced management decisions.

Authors:   Technical Manager, State Grid Company Zhejiang Electric Power Co., Ltd., P.R. China, Xuzhi Chen
Published: September 2024

Climate change has become a global challenge, and China plays a crucial role in addressing this issue, particularly with significant challenges in carbon reduction tasks. The impact of global climate change on human production and life is increasingly prominent, and countries worldwide are committed to carbon neutrality through agreements such as the Paris Agreement. China accounted for approximately 29% of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2019, making achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality a key factor in global competition. The Chinese government has repeatedly declared its goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, demonstrating a strong determination. Establishing a carbon accounting system is fundamental to achieving these targets. China refers to the guidelines of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the MRV system to ensure detectable, reportable, and verifiable emissions, guaranteeing the accuracy of the data. This will facilitate the smooth operation of the national carbon trading market and stimulate carbon reduction efforts. Regarding carbon accounting, the article mentions two critical aspects: methodological guidance based on the IPCC's inventory guidelines and ensuring a detectable, reportable, and verifiable system. This provides the foundation for unified carbon emission data and the operation of the national carbon trading market. Building on the establishment of the carbon accounting system, the article further discusses the construction of a low-carbon development index system for power grid development. This involves establishing a carbon emission accounting and evaluation system for transmission and transformation projects, quantitatively monitoring and assessing projects through methods such as carbon emission accounting and input-output analysis. Additionally, a comprehensive index evaluation method is employed to construct a green construction evaluation system, providing a low-carbon green score for power grid construction. This work contributes to China's better achievement of carbon reduction goals and promotes sustainable development.

In the course of the study, the authors revealed the essence of the phenomenon of economic potential, considering it both in a narrow and broad sense; identified key factors that influence the object of research at the regional level. For a more detailed interpretation of the socio-economic potential of the regions of the Russian Federation, the components of the economic potential have been identified, which serve as sub-potentials that collectively form the content of the main term. The analysis of Rosstat data on the first 35 regions of the economic potential rating was carried out. The mechanisms contributing to the growth of the economic potential of the regions of the Russian Federation are proposed. The topic of the study does not lose its relevance, since it is typical for many regions of Russia. Without decent indicators of economic potential in the regions, there can be no question of sustainable growth rates at the state level. In this regard, ensuring high indicators of economic potential should be a key area of regional development at the state level.

Uniform Civil Code: A Balancing Act Between Equality and Diversity
Authors: - Kanchankumar Tejram Shewale
Published: September 2024

This research paper examines the challenges of applying uniform legal frameworks, specifically the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), in culturally and religiously diverse contexts like India. The paper highlights how historical, geographical, and environmental factors have influenced the evolution of religious practices, particularly in personal laws. India’s colonial history, religious diversity, and political influences have shaped distinct legal systems across communities. While International human rights norms emphasize equality and non-discrimination, the implementation of a UCC must account for India's vast cultural landscape. The study underscores the importance of balancing religious freedom with individual rights, especially women’s rights, while exploring the potential conflicts between personal laws and constitutional principles of equality. Case studies such as the Shayara Bano and Shah Bano judgments further illustrate the judiciary’s role in advocating for a UCC. Drawing on international examples like Turkey, the paper explores how a secular legal framework could promote equality while being inclusive of diverse cultural practices.

Water Quality Monitoring and Measures of Water Usage in Homes
Authors: - Aryan Humnabadkar , - Anusha Karve , - Bhargav Shivbhakta , - Ashwini A. Kokate
Published: September 2024

Water quality and resource usage are important problems in residential areas where drinking water security and sustainable consumption patterns should be monitored. In this paper, we propose a simple system architecture to facilitate an application to develop smart water monitoring and simultaneous water usage for houses. The system is built with an ESP32 microcontroller, pH sensor, Turbidity Sensor, Flow Sensor, and LCD. The pH sensor tracks water's acidity or alkalinity concentration to ensure it is within one level for safe drinking. The flow sensor tracks how much water is used at any point, while the turbidity sensor measures turbidity to indicate purity. Once the data from the sensors are displayed on an LCD, it is further transmitted to the Thingspeak IoT platform for remote monitoring and analysis. The system includes an alert component, beeping whenever there is a problem with water quality or when abnormal sensor readings continue beyond pre-set threshold values. This instant feedback allows users to take immediate corrective action, protecting water quality and aiding in the responsible use of this vital resource. This technology offers a robust and on-demand solution to household water monitoring regarding usage and quality trends. The IoT-enabled water management solution provides a scalable approach to conserving resources and protecting public health. This paper aims to present the architecture, implementation, and performance evaluation of a large-scale multi-SAN semantic overlay focusing on its practicality for smart home environments.

Die Seleukidische Ära als symbolisches Gewaltmittel und das erste Makkabaierbuch
Authors: Knopf Fabian
Published: September 2024

In der antiken Welt war die dynastische oder eponyme Jahreszählung die Regel. Eine Ausnahme von dieser Regel bildete die Seleukidenzeit, über die Paul Kosmin faszinierende Einblicke gewährt hat. Seit Antiochus II. wurde die Seleukidenzeit als Instrument der seleukidischen Macht genutzt, um die seleukidische Herrschaft im gesamten Reich durch Inschriften, Gewichtsmaße, Münzen, Siegel, um nur einige Medien zu nennen, zu visualisieren. Auf den ersten Blick ist es keine Überraschung, die Seleukidenzeit in epigraphischen Zeugnissen in der südlichen Levante sowie in literarischen Dokumenten wie dem ersten Buch der Makkabäer zu finden. Der Status der Ära als Instrument der seleukidischen Macht macht es jedoch schwierig zu verstehen, warum der Autor des ersten Makkabäerbuches an dieser als chronologischem Anker festhielt, obwohl die Intention des Buches gegen das Seleukidenreich gerichtet ist. In 1Makk 13,41-42 datiert er sogar die Einführung Simons in das Hohepriesteramt 143/42 v. Chr. in Judäa nach der Seleukidenzeit und verweist zugleich darauf, dass nun wieder eponym nach Simon datiert wurde. Der Artikel geht auf diese beiden Probleme ein. Erstens wird argumentiert, dass die Abhängigkeit des Autors von 1Makk von der Seleukidenzeit auf ein Abfassungsdatum des Buches hinweist, als Judäa noch unter seleukidischer Herrschaft stand. Zweitens wird die merkwürdig anmutende Einführung der Datierung nach Simon untersucht und in die Formen seleukidischer Herrschaft eingeordnet. In diesem Sinne bedeutete die Gewährung einer eigenen Datierungsformel durch Demetrios II. für Simon eine signifikante politische Aufwertung für ihn, was als Zeichen dafür gewertet werden kann, dass Simon zu einem der wichtigsten Vertreter der Seleukiden wurde.

Rekomendasi hasil kajian ini adalah : (1) Kementerian Agama didorong untuk mengeluarkan regulasi terkait Kolaborasi Riset dan Inovasi pada Pesantren dengan BRIN dan Perguruan Tinggi. SDM IPTEK dari BRIN dan Perguruan Tinggi diarahkan menjadi pencetak “penyuluh iptek-risnov” yang membina pesantren di daerahnya. Penyuluh berorientasi untuk menumbuhkan semangat inovasi melalui intervensi Teknologi Tepat Guna dan Hasil Riset Inovatif dari lembaga riset baik dari BRIN maupun lembaga riset lainnya. (2) Pemerintah Daerah melalui BRIDA dan Bappeda menumbuhkan pesantren di daerahnya sebagai Innovative Economic Hub dengan menjamin keberlanjutan programnya melalui regulasi daerah. BRIDA menjadi Innovation Learning Hub dengan jejaringnya yang luas, Bappeda memastikan keberlanjutan yaitu dengan mengawal program pembangunan kemandirian pesantren dalam perencanaan pembangunan daerah.

Artikel ini membahas tentang analisis efektivitas penempatan pejabat Jabatan Fungsional Analis Kebijakan (JFAK) pada unit kerja non perumus kebijakan yang memiliki tugas salah satunya sebagai pelaksana kebijakan. Dengan dikeluarkannya kebijakan pemerintah dalam penyederhanaan birokrasi, banyak pejabat struktural seperti: pejabat administrator (dahulu eselon 3) dan pejabat pengawas (dahulu eselon 4) yang dialihkan menjadi pejabat fungsional salah satunya JFAK. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas penempatan pejabat fungsional analis kebijakan pada unit kerja non perumus kebijakan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kuantitatif dengan melihat apakah pejabat JFAK dapat memenuhi tugas pokok dan fungsinya dalam menghasilkan produk kegiatan pada jabatan JFAK. Lokus penelitian adalah kelompok JFAK di unit kerja non perumus kebijakan di salah satu instansi pemerintah pusat yang memiliki unit kerja perumus kebijakan dan unit kerja non perumus kebijakan serta sampel dipilih dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Dari hasil penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa lebih banyak JFAK yang ditempatkan di unit non perumus kebijakan, walaupun mereka memahami tugas pokok dan fungsi unit kerja dan tugas pokok dan fungsi serta produk kegiatan JFAK, namun setengah dari sampel menilai bahwa tugas pokok dan fungsi unit kerjanya kurang bahkan tidak sesuai dengan tugas pokok dan fungsi JFAK. Hal ini mengakibatkan para pejabat JFAK tidak dapat membuat produk kegiatan JFAK. Akibatnya, sebagian besar JFAK tidak dapat melaksanakan tugasnya sebagai JFAK. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa penempatan JFAK pada unit kerja non perumus kebijakan tidak efektif, karena JFAK mengalami kesulitan untuk menyusun/menghasilkan produk kegiatan dan melaksanakan tugasnya sebagai pejabat JFAK, yang lebih jauh akan berdampak pada karir mereka.

Untuk menjawab tantangan dalam mewujudkan pemerintahan desa yang baik, khususnyadari sisi administrasi pemerintah, pengelolaan keuangan, dan pembangunan desa, perludilakukan strategi penguatan kapasitas kelembagaan Desa. Oleh karena itu, KementerianDalam Negeri menginisiasi diselenggarakannya Pelatihan Peningkatan Kapasitas AparaturPemerintah dan Pengurus Kelembagaan Desa yang salah satunya dilaksanakan di ProvinsiJambi. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi kegiatan pelatihan tersebut denganpendekatan analisis kebijakan melalui konsep policy capacity atau kapasitas kebijakanyang meliputi kapasitas kebijakan di level organisasi dan sistemis. Berdasarkan analisispada pembahasan, dapat diketahui bahwa secara keseluruhan kegiatan pelatihan di ProvinsiJambi telah menunjukkan adanya komptensi analisis, politik, dan operasional. Namunterdapat beberapa kekurangan perlu menjadi catatan, diantaranya yakni belum adanyadukungan legal/kebijakan yang bersifat teknis, kurangnya keterlibatan aktor nonpemerintah, belum adanya kegiatan kajian dan analisis yang komprehensif, dan perlunyapenyesuaian pelatihan tatap muka ke dalam pelatihan berbasis digital.
Recurrent Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans with Fibrosarcomatous Transformation: A Case Report
Authors: Aji Haivan Kusuma , Kiki Akhmad Rizki
Published: September 2024

Background: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare cutaneous sarcoma with a propensity for local recurrence but a low risk of distant metastasis. Fibrosarcomatous transformation (FS-DFSP) is a rare but aggressive variant associated with increased metastatic potential.
Case presentation: We present the case of a 39-year-old male with recurrent DFSP involving the scalp, mandible, and humerus, complicated by fibrosarcomatous transformation and distant metastases to the lungs and bones. The patient underwent multiple excisions, radiation therapy, and systemic treatments including chemotherapy and imatinib, but ultimately experienced disease progression.
Conclusion: This case highlights the challenges in managing recurrent DFSP with fibrosarcomatous transformation. The rarity of this entity necessitates a high index of suspicion for early diagnosis and aggressive multidisciplinary management to improve patient outcomes. Further research is needed to identify effective treatment strategies for this aggressive variant of DFSP.
Selective Amygdalohippocampectomy versus Anterior Temporal Lobectomy in Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: A Meta-Analysis of Seizure Control and Cognitive Outcomes
Authors: Putra Fajar Faisal , Akhmad Imron  , Muhammad Adam Pribadi
Published: September 2024

Background: Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is a common form of drug-resistant epilepsy often necessitating surgical intervention. The choice between selective amygdalohippocampectomy (SelAH) and anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) remains a subject of debate, with each procedure offering potential advantages and disadvantages in terms of seizure control and cognitive outcomes.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Springer databases to identify studies published between 2013 and September 2024 that compared SELAH and ATL in patients with MTLE. The primary outcomes of interest were seizure freedom rates and changes in cognitive function, particularly IQ scores. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model to pool the results of included studies.  
Results: The meta-analysis encompassed 5 studies involving 218 patients with MTLE (105 underwent SelAH, 113 underwent ATL). The pooled results demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in the odds of achieving seizure freedom following ATL compared to SelAH (odds ratio [OR] 0.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.24-0.81, p = 0.008). Regarding cognitive outcomes, no significant difference was observed in Performance IQ (PIQ) between the two groups. However, a trend towards improved Verbal IQ (VIQ) was noted in the SelAH group, although this did not reach statistical significance.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that SelAH may offer superior seizure control compared to ATL in patients with MTLE. While both procedures appear to have comparable effects on PIQ, SelAH may be associated with a trend towards better preservation or even improvement in VIQ. The choice between SelAH and ATL should be individualized based on patient-specific factors, including preoperative cognitive profile and the relative importance of seizure control versus cognitive preservation.
