New Political Parties: What are They and How to Study Them?
Authors: Kosowska-Gąstoł Beata
Published: January 2025

Economic, social and political crises cause mainstream parties to lose their electoral support, paving the way for new parties and political movements. However, new parties are not always genuinely new, sometimes they are merger or split parties or for other reasons may be considered a continuation of previously existing parties. The question is therefore what constitutes a new party? Is it a new name, structure, election participation for the first time or merely competing on new issue? Newness is usually not a dichotomous variable, parties are not just new or old, they are new to some extent or in some areas, hence multi-dimensional analyses are required in order to assess party novelty. Shlomit Barnea and Gideon Rahat (2011) have pointed out that newness can occur in three key areas: party in the electorate, party as organisation and party in government. However, in each area it is still deemed as a dichotomous variable. We know the area in which a party is new, but not to what extent. In turn, the concept of Allan Sikk and Philipp Koker (2019) introduces the interval scale of party novelty that enables one to assess the level of newness, however, they have limited their framework to some areas of party activity omitting, for example, party programmatic stances. This paper constitutes an overview and is of a conceptual nature. After a brief outline of current ideas, a new analytical framework will be discussed that draws from the existing concepts but aims both to cover three areas of party activity and to assess the level of party newness in each of them.
Is Arend Lijphart’s Pattern Still Valid? Political Parties, Interest Groups, Pluralism and Corporatism
Authors: Sroka Jacek
Published: January 2025

In Arend Lijphart’s influential typology pluralism and corporatism are shown both: as two leading patterns of interest group politics and two main dimensions of the differences between the majoritarian and consensual variants of institutionalized democratic systems. The patterns of pluralism and corporatism show differences not only in the institutional setting of the activities and strategies undertaken by organized interest groups, but also display the differences in the processes of intermediation of interests, in which interest groups cooperate with political parties and party governments in various extents and in various forms. The leading thesis of the article is to indicate the need to adjust of this bipolar model. The hypothesis focuses on the indication that the pattern associated with the concept of policy networks is currently gaining advantage and it is much more labile than pluralism and corporatism. In this newly growing postmodern pattern the connections between political parties and interest groups, as well as the processes of intermediation of group interests becoming more liquid. The text aims to conclude on the need to revise Lijphart’s classic model by pointing to the network hybridization of interactions between political parties and interest groups. This may not completely undermine one of the important features that distinguish majoritarian and consensual patterns of democracy, but it should certainly encourage updating their analyses, assessments and predictions of further development trajectories.
Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura as an extra-intestinal manifestation in a patient with Ulcerative Colitis
Authors: Maqbool Muzaffar , Rafi Asma , Kassana Basharat , Bilal Sheikh
Published: January 2025

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is characterized by immune-mediated platelet destruction of platelets. The condition involves the presence of autoantibodies targeting platelet membrane antigens. ITP has been documented in the literature as a rare extra-intestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This case report aims to describe the rare association of ITP as an extra-intestinal manifestation of ulcerative colitis (UC), accompanied by a literature review.
We report the case of a 21-year-old male presenting with acute bloody diarrhea refractory to broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. Given the patient’s significant history of intermittent persistent diarrhea, hematochezia, hematuria, and thrombocytopenia, an evaluation for relapsing IBD was undertaken. Colonoscopic biopsy findings were consistent, with UC showing mild activity, while bone marrow aspiration revealed features indicative of chronic ITP. The patient was managed with oral corticosteroids for the IBD flare and oral mesalamine, resulting in a significant improvement in platelet count. Upon follow-up, with remission of UC, it was accompanied by a complete normalization of the patient’s platelet count. ITP has been reported as a rare extra-intestinal manifestation of IBD (UC). This report emphasizes the importance of suspecting IBD in cases of unexplained thrombocytopenia, particularly in compatible clinical settings, to enable timely diagnosis and management of both conditions, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Published: January 2025

Banjarbaru City is the capital city of South Kalimantan Province with waste generation in 2023 of 67,854,410 kg/year. Based on the Banjarbaru City Waste Masterplan for 2021-2025 supported by Banjarbaru City Regulation No. 5 of 2023, one strategy to reduce the amount of waste dumped in landfills is the optimization and development of waste infrastructure including landfills. Waste management at the Gunung Kupang Landfill has not been optimal when viewed from the capacity of waste management. One strategy in the policy of 'Increasing Service Coverage and Quality of Management Systems' in the Masterplan is the rehabilitation of landfills that pollute the environment. Before the landfill was decided to be rehabilitated, an evaluation was carried out using the ARRPET (Asian Regional Research Program on Environmental Technology) method. An overall evaluation of the existing conditions at the Gunung Kupang Landfill has never been carried out so it needs to be carried out using the ARRPET method. The results of the environmental evaluation of the existing conditions of the Gunung Kupang Landfill with ARRPET produced a risk index score of 529.24. This value is included in the risk index with a moderate category so that the recommended follow-up is to rehabilitate the landfill into a sustainable landfill as soon as possible. Therefore, it is planned to build a methane gas installation and landfill mining in landfill zone 2 as a rehabilitation method so that the potential for environmental pollution can be minimized and the life of the landfill can be extended. Based on the evaluation results, the rehabilitation method is feasible to be carried out where the NPV of both rehabilitation methods is positive and the BCR is more than 1.

Authors: Piña Díaz Armando Josué , Pérez Romero Mauricio Aarón , Cruz Jaramillo Iván Lenín
Published: January 2025

Automated vision systems are used as an effective solution to improve accuracy in objects inspection. However, the transition from manual sorting methods to automated systems has been slow due to factors such as the size and shape of the objects to be inspected. In the food industry, tubers represent a challenge for vision systems due to their high dimensional and morphological variability. This paper presents the design and implementation of an automated system for sorting Solanum tuberosum (potato) based on machine vision and image processing technologies. The system employs a low-cost camera together with an algorithm developed in LabVIEWTM, which allows determining the size of tubers in a production line. Sorting is carried out by means of a servo-driven sorting mechanism, achieving greater accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional manual methods. A controlled lighting system was implemented to optimize the quality of the captured images, which allowed for a significant reduction in sorting errors. The results showed a 260% increase in production capacity and a 75% reduction in the error rate, validating the effectiveness of the proposed solution to improve both productivity and process quality in the food industry. In addition, the system offers a high level of flexibility and safety in operation. By improving potato grading efficiency and reducing the need for manual intervention, a return on investment is anticipated, as well as a positive impact on process responsiveness, which could lead to an increase in product demand.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the framework of education has spelt out a remarkable landmark in the history of educational revolution. Both in teaching-learning methodologies and management practice, AI is rapidly becoming a pivotal indispensability. Employing qualitative methods of conceptual frame, content analysis and literature review, this paper critically evaluates the significance of AI in learning and education management in the light of philosophy of education. The highlights of the paper include the concepts of AI, learning, education management, and philosophy of education. Philosophical perspectives and ethical considerations in implementing AI technology are also discussed. The capacity of AI to inform personalized learning, enhance intelligent learning, and facilitate data-driven decision making is critically examined. The paper, going forward, explores the transformational role of teachers amid the reality of the AI environmental permeation and centrality, with a focus on the need for teachers to be adequately equipped with requisite skills that promote critical thinking, creativity and innovation. In the process of the critical appraisal, it is discovered that AI has great potentials to engender harmonized and customized learning experiences. It is also discovered that it equally brings, in its wake, hordes of challenges and concerns with regard to the possibility of stripping the human face of education in terms of depersonalization, ethical concerns, danger of data privacy and algorithmic bias. On the basis of the findings, the paper recommends, among others, that stakeholders in education should adopt a balanced approach to the issue of AI in learning and education management. In this model of approach, AI is to be given an ancillary position as a source of information and knowledge in the process of education. In this way, AI will play a complementary role to the time-tested traditional values through which education strives to offer and achieve a comprehensive development of the learner. This will go a long way in addressing the challenges associated with AI, thereby harnessing its transformative potentials in learning and education management.

Authors:   Faculty of Law Universitas Diponegoro, Aisy Naufal Ariq , Wisnaeni Fifiana ,   Faculty of Law Universitas Diponegoro
Published: January 2025

The legal system and moral values are inseparable units. Based on the development of knowledge and practice, the legal system in Indonesia is influenced by positive law which develops in line with the understanding of legal positivism. In Indonesia, which is plural, it will cause injustice and conflict if the legal system is not in line with the values and principles of Pancasila as the legal ideals of Indonesian society. Pancasila is believed to be the way of life of the Indonesian people which is a unified whole of ethical and moral values, so Pancasila can be called the morals of the Indonesian nation. This research aims to show and discuss the position of morality in the legal system in Indonesia and its practice in the justice system in Indonesia. The research method used in this research is normative legal research. The results of this study will explain the need to develop a legal system that is systemic and sustainable with the morals of the Indonesian people, namely for the sake of realizing justice. The conclusion of this research shows that in forming a statutory regulation that will create legal certainty for the people, it must be based on Pancasila which is seen as the "legal ideal" of the Indonesian nation. This is because there is a belief that the values contained in Pancasila are actual, so it is believed that "Pancasila is the source of all sources of law.

A New Perspective for Workplace Safety: Psychological Safety and Employee Interaction
Authors:   Department of Law, Faculty of Law, International Universsty of Gorezde, Herzegovina, Bilgin Murat
Published: January 2025

It addresses the importance of psychological safety and employee engagement in creating a safe workplace environment. Traditional occupational health and
safety approaches generally focus on technical measures and compliance with legal regulations. However, research conducted in recent years reveals that
psychological and social factors also play a critical role in developing occupational safety culture. While psychological safety enables employees to report hazards
or potential risks without fear of sanctions, employee engagement strengthens the safety culture by increasing commitment to safety policies and practices.
In workplaces with high psychological safety, employees can express danger or risk elements earlier and more comfortably, encouraging more proactive
approaches to prevent work accidents. On the other hand, in workplaces where employee loyalty is strong, individuals internalize safety procedures and
make safe behavior a natural no
This study comprehensively examines the effects of psychological safety and employee commitment on occupational safety culture through case studies,
survey studies, and focus group discussions. Research conducted in the construction, production, and health sectors clearly demonstrates the importance
of these two factors in sustaining occupational safety culture and reducing occupational accidents.
The research results emphasize that strategies that promote psychological safety, increase employee loyalty, and strengthen safety communication should
be developed. In this context, it is recommended that management adopt a holistic safety management strategy that supports social and psychological
approaches to ensure safety in the workplace.rm.
Sclera Segmentation in Images for Bilirubin Level Measurement Using the U-Net Network

The sclera is a white membrane rich in collagen and elastin fibres, which gives it an affinity for bilirubin. This yellow substance is produced by the breakdown of the heme group, and when its levels are elevated, it causes jaundice a condition that leads to yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and sclera. The intensity of the yellowing in the sclera is directly related to bilirubin levels in the body. This relationship enables the extraction of features to infer these levels using machine learning techniques based on RGB images of the sclera. Sclera segmentation is a transcendent factor in achieving this goal. For this reason, this article presents the results of sclera segmentation using the U-Net network. This is a convolutional network composed of encoding and decoding layers and is used for medical image segmentation.  The model was trained and validated with a set of 181 eye images and their corresponding binary masks. The results obtained during the training phase are Loss (0.006), Precision (0.976), Recall (0.973) and F1-score (0.974), and in the validation phase: Loss (0.145), Precision (0.897), Recall (0.863) and F1-Score (0.880). These results demonstrate the U-Net model's effectiveness in segmenting the sclera, particularly in the training phase where the metrics are highly favorable. However, the slight decrease in performance during the validation phase suggests the need for further refinement. Future work will focus on increasing the dataset size and introducing data augmentation techniques to improve generalization and robustness. Ultimately, accurate sclera segmentation is a critical step toward developing reliable Machine Learning models for non-invasive bilirubin level estimation.
