Work-Family Balance is an important aspect that must be owned by teaching staff, including female lecturers. One of the factors that can affect work-family balance is workplace well-being. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of workplace well-being towards the work-family balance on female lecturers at UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. This study used a quantitative approach with the regression method. The research instrument used was the work-family balance scale based on the theory of Greenhaus, Collins, and Shaw (2003) and the workplace well-being scale based on the theory of Paschoal and Tamayo (2008). The population in this study was 186 female lecturers with a research sample of 121 people selected based on a simple random sampling technique. Data analysis used a simple linear regression technique which showed the value of R = 0.392 with a significance value of p = 0.000 (p <0.05). This indicates that there is a very significant positive effect between workplace well-being on work-family balance of female lecturers at UIN Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh
Spanish Classical Literature Translated by Konstantin Timkovsky
Authors:   Institute of Russian literature (Pushkin House) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Korkonosenko Kirill S.
Published: November 2022

The article is the first analysis of the literary activity of Konstantin Timkovsky (1814–1881), translator and propagandist of Spanish literature in Russia. Unlike his predecessors, Timkovsky had a good knowledge of written and partly spoken Spanish and did not use intermediary translations. Timkovsky is also distinguished by the number of works and authors translated, namely Cervantes, Calderon, Francisco de Rojas, Leandro Moratín, Agustín Moreto. Being a pioneer in the direct translation of Spanish dramaturgy, Timkovsky assumed regular but inconsistent shortenings of texts: he omitted passages that, due to internal or external censorship, might have seemed obscene or affected religion. In Calderon’s drama “Life is a Dream” all references to Russia and Russians were replaced by Bohemia and Bohemians; instead of translating puns, Timkovsky uses comments: he declares that it is impossible to transmit the wordplay into Russian and quotes the original text for comparison. The most important and still nowhere mentioned feature of all Timkovsky’s works is the choice of prose for the translation of poetic dramatic texts. The sentence in the Petrashevsky case and the exile prevented Timkovsky from carrying out a large-scale project: to compile a translated set of Spanish literature and to write its “complete history” in the form of a series of articles.
Induction of systemic, mucosal and cellular immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in mice intratracheally vaccinated with a viral S1 protein combined with a pulmonary surfactant-derived adjuvant SF-10

Published: November 2022

Background There is a need for vaccines that can induce effective
systemic, respiratory mucosal and cellular immunity to control the
COVID-19 pandemic. We reported previously that a synthetic mucosal
adjuvant SF-10 derived from human pulmonary surfactant works as an
efficient antigen delivery vehicle to antigen presenting cells in the
respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts and promotes induction of
influenza virus antigen-specific serum IgG, mucosal IgA and cellular
immunity. Methods The aim of the present study was to determine the
effectiveness of a new administration method of intratracheal (IT)
vaccine comprising recombinant SARS-CoV-2 spike protein 1 (S1) combined
with SF-10 (S1-SF-10 vaccine) on systemic, local and cellular immunity
in mice, compared with intramuscular injection (IM) of S1 with a potent
adjuvant AS03 (S1-AS03 vaccine). Results S1-SF-10-IT vaccine induced
S1-specific IgG and IgA in serum and lung mucosae. These IgG and IgA
induced by S1-SF-10-IT showed significant protective immunity in a
receptor binding inhibition test of S1 and angiotensin converting enzyme
2, a receptor of SARS-CoV-2, which were more potent and faster
achievement than S1-AS03-IM. Enzyme-linked immunospot assay showed high
numbers of S1-specific IgA and IgG secreting cells (ASCs) and
S1-responsive IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-17A cytokine secreting cells (CSCs) in the
spleen and lungs. S1-AS03-IM induced IgG ASCs and IL-4 CSCs in spleen
higher than S1-SF10-IT, but the numbers of ASCs and CSCs in lungs were
low and hardly detected. Conclusion Based on the need for effective
systemic, respiratory and cellular immunity, the S1-SF-10-IT vaccine
seems promising mucosal vaccine against respiratory infection of
SARS-CoV-2.

Published: November 2022

Background Medical treatment plays a main role in the treatment of
Jackhammer esophagus (JE). The efficacy of calcium channel blockers
(CCBs) combined with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in the treatment of
JE has not been established. Methods This 8-week randomized, open-label
study was conducted in an outpatient setting in China. Patients with
symptomatic JE were randomly assigned to receive diltiazem combined with
lansoprazole (DL group) or diltiazem alone (D group). The primary
outcome was the response rate after 8 weeks. Secondary outcomes included
symptoms, quality of life, manometric pattern and reflux status. Key
Results Forty patients were randomized, 38 (95.0%) of whom completed
the study (20 patients in the DL group, and 18 were randomized to the D
group). A higher response rate was found in the DL group than in the D
group (85.0% vs. 55.0%, p= 0.038). All secondary outcomes, including
overall symptom control, quality of life, and reflux control, were
significantly better in the DL group than in the D group after 8 weeks
(p<0.05), except the distal contractile integral (DCI)
(p=0.274). Conclusions Diltiazem combined with lansoprazole is superior
to diltiazem alone in obtaining treatment response and correcting
abnormal reflux situations in patients with symptomatic JE.

Published: November 2022

Purpose: Introducing tricuspid annular systolic excursion
(TAPSE)-slope and assessing inter-observer variability of its timing
measurements Methods: We performed comprehensive Doppler
echocardiographic examinations on 84 healthy subjects (mean age: 36.3
years, range: 30-50 years, 51 women, 33 men). In color-coded M-mode
tracing of right ventricle’s free wall, peak systolic excursion was
defined. TAPSE and time from initial QRS to peak systole in color-coded
M-mode were measured, and TAPSE-slope was calculated based on this
formula: TAPSE slope=TAPSE/TAPSE-t. For the evaluation of inter-observer
variability, two other cardiologists measured TAPSE-t in offline mode
separately. Results: The average (SD) of the “TAPSE-slope”
was 7.0(1.0) cm/sec, the average (SD) TAPSE was 2.42(0.3) cm, and an
average TAPSE-t of 343(27.6) msec. A significant difference was seen in
TAPSE-slope between men and women (P value=0.001). No significant
difference was detected in TAPSE-slope in people younger than 40 years
old compared with participants older than 40 years. Intra-class
correlation coefficient value of the TAPSE-t measurement was 0.886,
showing excellent agreement between three different raters.
Conclusion: TAPSE-slope may have added value compared to TAPSE
alone for the assessment of right ventricular systolic function.
Asociación entre síntomas inflamatorios y síntomas depresivos en la población mexicana: un análisis econométrico
Authors: Mosiño Alejandro , Herrera César Alonso Luna
Published: November 2022

Recientemente, diversos estudios clínico-experimentales han encontrado
que los pacientes con depresión presentan los componentes
característicos de una inflamación. Además, se ha sugerido que la
asociación entre inflamación y depresión podría ser bidireccional. Esto
se debe a que los comportamientos resultantes de un episodio depresivo
tienen el potencial de actuar como vías mediadoras que conducen a una
mayor inflamación.  En este trabajo se usan datos de la Encuesta
Nacional de Salud y Nutrición 2018 de México para estudiar esta
asociación en adultos mayores a 20 años. Utilizando modelos
econométricos, se encuentra evidencia estadística de que la inflamación
y la depresión están asociados positivamente. Además, se encuentra que
los síntomas de depresión están positivamente asociados con la edad, que
es más prevalente en mujeres que en hombres y que los habitantes de la
zona centro de México son más propensos a sufrir de depresión
significativa que los habitantes del resto del país y, específicamente,
a los de la Ciudad de México, al igual que los habitantes de zonas
rurales. Los resultados aquí obtenidos no solo tienen implicaciones para
el tratamiento de la depresión, sino que proporcionan una herramienta
para la toma de decisiones en el sector salud.

Confirmation of Shining Firmoss (Huperzia lucidula; Lycopodiaceae) in Manitoba
Authors: Staniforth Richard
Published: November 2022

The occurrence of Shining Firmoss (Huperzia lucidula; Lycopodiaceae) in Manitoba has been suspected since 1943 but unconfirmed. The discovery at the herbarium of the University of Manitoba of a non-accessioned specimen, collected in Riding Mountain National Park (RMNP), Manitoba, confirmed that the species occurred in the province. At about the same time, a thriving colony of Shining Firmoss was discovered at Gunisao Lake, ~380 km to the northeast of the RMNP site. Shining Firmoss is now established as a rare, widely dispersed element in Manitoba’s flora.
The intertidal fish collections of Ed Ricketts at Tofino, British Columbia, Canada, 1945 and 1946
Authors: Levings Colin , Bates Colin
Published: November 2022

Few studies exist on the intertidal fish fauna of the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The earliest known regional insights into intertidal fish diversity for the Tofino area were made by iconic marine ecologist Edward Flanders Ricketts. We reviewed his 1945 and 1946 collection cards, now available online. He made 111 collections of 20 species and 294 specimens. Most of these species were cottids (nine species) or pricklebacks (three species), with flatfish, greenlings, poachers, snailfish, gunnels, sand lance, and clingfishes each represented by one or two species. We briefly compare the data with contemporary studies and suggest opportunities for using his museum-curated physical specimens for further analyses.
Dispelling myths about the origins of wolf–coyote hybrids and related Canis species in Ontario
Authors: Wheeldon Tyler , Patterson Brent
Published: November 2022

Long-standing myths exist about the origins of wolf–coyote hybrids and related Canis species in Ontario. Specifically, there is a perceived controversy whether they are the product of natural hybridization that occurred between wolves and coyotes in the wild during the last century or the descendants of animals that escaped or were released from captive colonies or controlled breeding experiments. We review the relevant evidence and conclude that captive colonies and controlled breeding experiments were unlikely to have played any role in the origins of wolf–coyote hybrids and related Canis species in Ontario.

Published: November 2022

Introduction/Objective. Although lymphocyte immunophenotyping based on flow cytometry is a powerful tool in the diagnosis of many primary immunodeficiences (PID), there has been an increasing awareness of associated costs and the need for its reassessment as a screening tool. We present the results and diagnostic impact of immunophenotyping performed by flow cytometry in the University Children?s Hospital, Belgrade, in a series of patients referred from the Institute for Child and Youth Health Care of Vojvodina from July 2008 to July 2018. Methods. We reviewed the laboratory reports on numbers of B lymphocytes (CD19+), T lymphocytes (CD3+), natural killer cells (CD3?CD16/CD56+) and activated T cells (CD3+HLA-DR+), as well as CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in 198 children. Results. Patients were grouped by stated indication into the following eight categories: hypogammaglobulinemia (34), selective IgA deficiency and/or IgG subclass deficiency (43), various infections with no immunoglobulin deficiencies (67), asthma and/or allergies with no immunoglobulin deficiencies or infections (23), known or suspected autoimmune disorders (24), and miscellaneous diagnoses not accompanied by infections (7). In total, 159 (80.3%) findings were either completely within the respective reference range or exhibited only minimal aberrations. Four patients were diagnosed with Bruton?s disease and one with Artemis immunodeficiency. Nineteen patients were given immunoglobulin substitution to control infections and/or maintain immunoglobulin G levels. Conclusion. Lymphocyte immunophenotyping aids the diagnosis of PID in selected patients. We venture some thoughts on how the usefulness of this laboratory method could be improved in real-life tertiary care pediatric hospital settings.

Pinto Beans and Green Beans Result in Comparable Glycemic Control in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Pilot Trial
Authors: AM Hutchins
Published: November 2022

Aims: Glucose control is essential to slow disease progression in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The acute effects of dry bean consumption on glucose control are well established, but their long-term effects in daily diets are less known. Methods: The effect of daily consumption of ½ cup pinto beans, compared to ½ cup green beans, on fasting glucose, postprandial glucose and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in adults with T2DM was examined. After a 2-week wash-in period, 13 participants were randomized to two 12-week long treatments: pinto beans and green beans. Before and after each intervention period, a fasted venous blood sample for glucose and HbA1c analyses was drawn. On 28 non-consecutive days, including the washin, participants kept diet records and measured capillary glucose using a glucometer 1 hour after the meal during which the treatments were consumed. Results: Eight participants completed both treatment periods. There were no statistically significant changes (p<0.05) in fasting glucose, HbA1c or average postprandial glucose values between the two interventions. Conclusions: Pinto beans and green beans result in comparable glycemic control when incorporated into the normal diet of adults with T2DM even though pinto beans have more available carbohydrate per serving.
Shift Work and Clinical Applications of Time-Restricted Eating
Authors: GD Salmun
Published: November 2022

Circadian rhythms refer to the oscillations of biological systems in synchrony with the 24-hour light/dark (LD) cycles of the earth. Mammalian circadian rhythms are coordinated by an array of endogenous “clocks” entrained by environmental inputs (zeitgebers), such as sunlight, locomotion, and food intake. Physiological states including energy balance, sleep-wake cycles, body temperature, and hormonal homeostasis, are all tightly regulated by endogenous circadian clocks. The primary controller of circadian rhythms is located centrally in the Suprachiasmatic Nuclei (SCN) of the hypothalamus, which is directly entrained by UV light signals coming from the sun. Peripheral circadian rhythms are directly modulated by behaviors such as locomotion and feeding behavior. A lack of coordination between the LD cycles of earth and behavioral activity results in systemic perturbations, ultimately resulting in metabolic dysfunction. This lack of coordination is likely responsible for the elevated prevalence of metabolic syndrome observed in night-shift workers, due to the misalignment of their activity patterns with the LD cycles of earth. The common trend of night-shift workers adopting a schedule of 3 days on, 4 days off followed by 4 days on, 3 days off may be the biggest driver of their increased risk of developing metabolic dysfunction. By constantly rotating between a nocturnal and diurnal sleeping pattern, their central and peripheral clocks fall into a state of perpetual arrhythmicity. While this type of schedule is provided to maintain social normalcy for the individual, it is detrimental to the functional rhythmicity of their circadian clocks. For this reason, night-shift workers may enact a time-restricted eating protocol in which food intake is restricted to a limited window of time every day. While disruption of the central circadian clock in the SCN is inevitable due to nighttime blue light exposure in these workers, maintaining a highly consistent feeding pattern may attenuate in part the negative consequences of such exposure by restoring rhythmicity in peripheral clocks. This type of feeding strategy may also be exploited by non-night shift workers, as the ubiquity of technology inevitably results in chronic blue light exposure during the intended dark phase of many humans in modern society. In doing so, circadian rhythmicity of key metabolic factors may be restored, thereby optimizing metabolic health and limiting the risk of developing chronic disease.
Do the Castilian-Manchego University Students Follow a Mediterranean Diet?
Authors: DO Tébar
Published: November 2022

Objective: To determine the adherence to the Mediterranean diet of a university population and to analyze various factors that could condition its nutritional quality. Material and Methods: Distribution of the kidmed test to a sample of 50 university students. The kidmed index (0 to 10) indicated whether adherence to the Mediterranean diet was low (0 to 3), average (4 to 6), or high (7 to 10). Each respondent recorded sex, age, weight, size and province of origin. Results: The sample was 33 males and 17 females aged between 18 and 25 years. 9.5% of university students had a low kidmed index, 62.1% intermediate and 28.4% high. Overweight university students had a significantly higher percentage of low adherences (15.5%) (p < 0.05) than those with a normal nutritional status (8.5%). Conclusion: 71.6% of university students needed to improve their food pattern (medium-low adherence to the Mediterranean diet). Students with low adherence had a higher risk of being overweight. It would be desirable to develop nutritional education programmes in university curricula.
Biological Assessment of Ready-To-Eat Flaked Breakfast Cereal Produced From Malted Quality Protein Maize (Zea Mays), Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata L. Walp) and Garden Egg (Solanum Melongena)
Authors: AV Ikujenlola
Published: November 2022

Ready-to-eat breakfast cereal was produced from blends of malted quality protein maize, cowpea and garden egg with a view to assessing the nutritional quality using the animal feeding trials. The biomaterials were processed separately to flour and blended at varying ratios, the blends were processed to flaked breakfast cereal using standard procedure. The ready to eat meal was subjected to feeding trial using wistar rats weighing between 60 and 85 g. During the 28 day feeding trial, weight changes, growth rate, protein and feed efficiency ratios, mortality rate, nitrogen retained, biological value, true digestibility and net protein utilization were monitored. The results obtained were feed intake (126.99-164.39 g), the protein efficiency ratio (-4.40 and 2.50), mean weight gain/loss (-14.6 g and 8.15g). The weight of animal fed with meal containing garden egg reduced marginally over the period. The biological value (63.13-88.2%), true digestibility (39.29-58.80%) and net protein utilisation (24.79–49.43%) reduced as the garden egg increased. There was no mortality in the groups fed with garden egg containing meal. The study concluded that addition of garden egg helped in weight management of the animals and compared favourably with commercial meal in terms of parameters determined.
A Review of Acrylamide Concentrations in Different Food Products; Associated Risks and Mitigation Strategies
Authors: DM Obsuman
Published: November 2022

Acrylamide is a colorless, crystalline solid, soluble in water with Low but significant volatility having a molecular weight of 71.08 g/mol. It is known to be neurotoxic in both animals and humans, and has been classified as “probably carcinogenic to humans. The occurrence of acrylamide is first reported by scientists from the Swedish National Food Authority and the University of Stockholm in April 2002, and then after many scientists have done different research on the occurrence of acrylamide in different processed foods. Different researches indicated that most heat processed foods are an important source of acrylamide. Acrylamide is formed in a wide variety of foods, particularly carbohydrate rich foods cooked at above 120°C upon frying, baking and roasting. Although high temperature food processing such as frying, roasting, or baking, is most likely to cause acrylamide formation; boiling and steaming do not normally form acrylamide. According to the recent available research results on acrylamide content of foods the highest levels of acrylamide is reported in coffee substitutes and fried potato products with max 5400µg/kg and 4126.26µg/kg respectively. High temperature and longtime processing has direct influence on acrylamide formation in processed foods. Animal studies revealed that acrylamide adversely affects fertility, and has the potential to induce heritable damage at gene and chromosome level. A better understanding about acrylamide impacts on human health can guide to the development of enhanced food processes to reduce the acrylamide content of the diet. Efforts to decrease the creation of acrylamide in different foods have resulted in some achievements; however there is no universal approach that works for all foods. Though it may possible in some foods to reduce acrlymide, in some foods is maybe not possible. This paper is therefore aimed to review the concentration of acrylamide in different processed food products, associated risks of their consumption and mitigation strategies.

Authors: B Kefale
Published: November 2022

One of the constraints to the potential of potato is it’s perish ability after harvest. This problem is due to lack of suitable storage methods. This study intended to evaluate storability of potato variety (Gudena) and to assess the effectiveness of selected storage methods under Ethiopian condition. Three storage methods were investigated with 100kg of fresh potato. The storage methods were ground pit, Dark house and field storage. Results obtained from this study showed that ground pit were more preferable where as in field and in dark house storage were less preferable due to physiological change in five month storage time. Ash content were significantly (p<0.05) different among storage methods from 5.2% to 6.02%.Texture and over all acceptability in fried and boiled form of potato significantly affect acceptability of potato in all storage methods. Taste and color in fried form of potato not significantly (p<0.05) affect acceptability of potato in storage methods and storage time. Dark house storage were preferable for the two potato products boiled and fried form(crisp) forms while In terms of physiological and nutrient preservation of potato ground pit were preferable up to five month storage.

The influence of convective boundary conditions and heat radiation on magnetic nanofluids (MNFs) flowing through a permeable moving plate is investigated numerically in this study. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are transformed into ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using suitable similarity variables. The ODEs are solved by implementing the built-in solver in Matlab called bvp4c. The stability analysis has supported our initial presumption that only the first solution is stable. The thermal performance between cobalt ferrite nanofluid and manganese-zinc ferrite nanofluid is compared, and it appears that cobalt ferrite nanofluid has a slightly better performance in heat transportation compared to manganese-zinc ferrite nanofluid. We also considered a higher amount of thermal radiation and Biot number to scrutinize the heat transfer performance of MNF, and we found out that a greater amount of these parameters are effective in improving the heat transfer rate.

A warrant is a derivative that gives the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a security at a certain price before the expiration. The warrant valuation method was inspired by option valuation because of the certain similarities between these two derivatives. The warrant price formula under the Black–Scholes is available in the literature. However, the Black–Scholes formula is known to have a number of flaws; hence, this study aims to develop a pricing formula for warrants by incorporating jumps, stochastic volatility, and stochastic interest rates into the Black–Scholes model. The closed-form pricing formula is presented in this study, where the derivation involves stochastic differential equations (SDE), which include the Cauchy problem and heat equation.

Abstract

Kapang entomopatogen merupakan kapang yang memiliki kemampuan untuk menginfeksi serangga. Kapang tersebut dapat menginfeksi dengan cara penembusan hifa ke tubuh serangga inang melalui kulit, saluran pencernaan, spirakel dan lubang lainnya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengisolasi dan mengidentifkasi kapang entomopatogen pada tanah serasah daun jati dan tanah sawah dengan metode isolasi yang berbeda. Metode isolasi kapang entomopatogen menggunakan metode insect bait, insect bait dengan pengayakan tanah, dan metode pengenceran. Serangga yang digunakan untuk uji larva Tenebrio molitor.  Isolasi tanah sawah berhasil menumbuhkan kapang entomopatogen pada tubuh larva Tenebrio molitor ditandai dengan adanya miselium kapang menutupi tubuh larva. Hasil isolasi didapatkan 6 isolat yaitu  S2A, S2B, S2C, S3A, S3B, S3C. Keenam isolat tersebut merupakan kapang Fusarium sp.

Entomopathogenic fungi are molds that have the ability to infect insects. The mold can infect by penetrating the hyphae into the host insect's body through the skin, digestive tract, spiracles, and other holes. The purpose of this study was to isolat and identified entomopathogenic molds in teak leaf litter and paddy fields with different isolation methods. The isolation method of entomopathogenic molds used the insect bait method, insect bait with soil sieving, and the dilution method—insects used for the larval test of Tenebrio molitor. Isolation of paddy fields succeeded in growing entomopathogenic molds on the larval body of Tenebrio molitor, which was indicated by the presence of mold mycelium covering the larval body. The isolation results obtained 6 isolats, namely S2A, S2B, S2C, S3A, S3B, S3C. The six isolats were Fusarium sp.

Strawberry (Fragaria sp.) is a horticultural plant originating from the Americas. Strawberries have a distinctive sweet and refreshing taste, and contain lots of vitamins and antioxidants that are useful for body health. But strawberries are also easily damaged. This damage can be caused by spoilage microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi that can grow if conditions permit such as the presence of appropriate temperature and humidity conditions. In this experiment, aims to isolate pathogenic microorganisms that cause disease in symptomatic strawberries and prove that these pathogens actually cause disease using Koch's Postulates method and then descriptive analysis is carried out. From the experimental results, it was found that soft rot disease in strawberries was characterized by rotten fruit parts that looked wet, slightly brownish in color, slimy, there were fine white threads and emitted a foul odor with a percentage of IP (disease occurrence) of 100% and KP (disease severity) of 92.66% where based on the score the damage was the highest.

Published: November 2022

In Malaysia, food trucks are a popular business among industry players due to the nature of the business being much easier and more comfortable for the customer, and the food served is cheaper than the restaurants. Despite the immense attention alongside the growth revenue towards the food truck business in 5 years, they are also a few unwanted cases arise caused by poorly handling of food throughout the business which is proven that food truck has been associated with almost 70% of disease outbreak (Auad et al., 2018). Although the food truck business has expanded year by year, the growth of food truck activities has triggered certain issues, and some of the issues might lead to serious matters. The first and foremost gap is when it comes to the cleanliness of the food served and sold on the mobile premise (Okumus et al., 2019). The most common question is how the food truck operators prepare their food, the level of hygiene of its' utensils, the preparation of mixed ingredients, and the management waste practice (Donkor et al., 2009). These problems might trigger the halalan toyyiban concept adopted in the practices of the food truck business. This study aimed to examine the concept of halalan toyyiban in the food truck business. The study adopted qualitative research, collecting data through doctrinal and semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using content and thematic analysis. The finding indicated that only a few food truckers know halal and toyyiban, and some food truckers are not interested in applying for halal certification for their businesses.
SINGLE CANDIDATES AGAINST THE EMPTY BOX; ON REGIONAL HEAD ELECTIONS 2020 IN INDONESIA
Authors: Rohman Syaiful , Mubarok Biky Uthbek
Published: November 2022

Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) on 2020 have a positive effect on the implementation of a constitution and at least democracy for measuring political participation, the elections that were held after reform started from a Regional Head who was elected by the Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD), then elected directly by the community (one man one vote). The direct election then became a simultaneous election in all parts of Indonesia. Until the latest development, namely the presence of a single candidate. The Single Candidate then implies the Empty Box as a companion because there are no candidates or no eligible candidates. This consequence must be accepted due to the Direct-Simultaneous Election system with the threshold record regulations as full of regional head nominations. This gave birth to various interests of political elites and party elites playing in it so that party elites inevitably intervened to whom the letter of recommendation would be given, or consolidation at the elite political level had agreed on a political dowry which then gave birth to a single candidate. This research uses qualitative methods with comprehensive analysis through data collected from the General Election Commission (KPU) and previous research. This paper examines the main factors that gave birth to a single candidate and the political elite’s role in compiling the party’s recommendation letter. The hypothesis that can be seen from the phenomenon of fighting empty boxes is the political dowry factor and the party cadre system’s ineffectiveness in producing leader candidates.
