Published: December 2024

Monkeypox (MPX) is a zoonotic viral disease caused by the monkeypox virus, closely related to the variola virus (smallpox). First identified in monkeys in 1958 and humans in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, it is now endemic in parts of West and Central Africa, with rising cases in non-endemic regions. Symptoms resemble smallpox but are less severe. Transmission occurs through direct contact with infected animals, humans, respiratory droplets, bodily fluids, or lesion material. The 2022-2023 outbreak spread globally, with tens ofthousands of cases linked to the West African variant reported in over 110 countries. Severe cases, mainly in immunocompromised individuals, emphasize the need for vaccination and antiviral therapies. In Pakistan, although no major outbreaks have occurred, suspected cases have prompted health authorities to enhance surveillance and diagnostic capacity. Public awareness, early detection, vaccination, and international collaboration remain critical to prevent outbreaks and control MPX both locally and globally.
Illegitimate Tasks in Academia: A Phenomenological Study on the Experiences of Social Science Academics
Authors: Öztürk Nur Ayça , Duygulu Ethem
Published: December 2024

The concept of “illegitimate tasks” (ILT) refers to tasks assigned to employees that fall outside their professional role definitions and are perceived as unnecessary or unreasonable. ILT has gained attention as a stress-inducing factor affecting employees’ well-being and sense of self, distinguishing it from other occupational stress sources. This study explores how social science academics in Türkiye perceive and experience ILT, their coping mechanisms, and the individual and organizational implications. A phenomenological study was conducted with 40 academics from various levels and institutions through semi-structured, in-depth interviews. Findings reveal that most participants view their profession as encompassing lecturing and research, with irrational tasks being more frequent than unnecessary ones. Research assistants and assistant professors bear the heaviest burden of such tasks. ILT causes were categorized into two groups: those related to human resource capacity and those stemming from organizational processes. ILT results in relational issues (deteriorating relationships, reduced tolerance), physiological effects (sleep problems, fatigue), psychological impacts (anger, worthlessness, depressive moods), and work-related consequences (role conflict, diminished reputation, reduced commitment). Addressing ILT requires supervisors to offer social support through clear communication, define job roles at the institutional level, and ensure fair task distribution. This study contributes to the ILT literature by examining its antecedents, effects, and mitigation strategies in academia.

Strategic Interaction Between Monetary and Fiscal Policy in Algeria: a Game Theory Approach
Authors: Chibi Abderrahim , Zahaf Youcef , Chekouri Sidi Mohammed
Published: December 2024

Using a dynamic game theory framework, this study evaluates the interplay of fiscal and monetary policies under various demand and supply shock scenarios in the Algerian economy. Aligning fiscal and monetary policies is essential to mitigate potential conflicts that may arise from uncoordinated actions, such as increased inflation volatility or unsustainable public debt levels, which ultimately reduce societal welfare. In this context, the game theory-based approach utilized in this study to examine the effectiveness of different coordination methods (Nash equilibrium, Stackelberg leadership, and cooperative solution) between Algerian fiscal policy and monetary policy in a conventional macroeconomic optimization issue. Our computational analysis indicates that the cooperative Pareto equilibrium minimizes welfare loss by offering optimal responses to economic shocks, particularly in terms of output stabilization, debt sustainability, and inflation control. Although this study focuses on Algeria, the findings may provide insights for other developing economies with similar macroeconomic and institutional contexts. This study contributes to the literature by quantitatively assessing the effectiveness of policy coordination strategies through a game theory lens, filling a gap in the analysis of fiscal-monetary interplay in developing economies.

Conclusion. Resistance to linezolid and bedaquiline is increasing for the period 2011-2022. Molecular methods for linezolid and bedaquiline resistance detection are urgently needed.
Activity of bedaquiline against mycobacteria (review)
Authors: Litvinov I. V. , Safonova S. G. , Peretokina I. V. , Litvinov M. V.
Published: December 2024

Resistance of M. tuberculosis to anti-tuberculosis drugs (ATDs) and then to antibacterial drugs initially developed for other purposes, but effective against M. tuberculosis is an extremely serious problem. Treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis is difficult, it is significantly more expensive, and its effectiveness is lower than in the treatment of drug-sensitive tuberculosis. With the advent of new anti-TB drugs such as bedaquiline and delamanid, the efficacy of etiotropic chemotherapy for MDR- and XDR-TB has increased significantly.

The review shows that bedaquiline has high activity in vitro against both M. tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria. However, strains with natural resistance to this drug have been found in some cases. There are also data on the development of acquired resistance to bedaquiline. This indicates the need for rational (according to indications and in accordance with the developed optimal dosages and regimens) use of bedaquiline in the treatment of tuberculosis and mycobacterioses.

Currently, films play a significant role as a result of soft power. Consequently, many countries have turned to utilizing soft power to enhance their appeal and persuasive power through films. This academic article focuses on studying soft power policies in the economic dimension, concerning the high-standard international film industry. It is an industry that is robust and self-reliant. The authors have compiled information from related documents and interviews with personnel in the film industry to extract lessons on the main principles, the role of films, resources, and cultural norms in films. These are intended as data for application to maximize benefits for Thailand’s film industry. The study found that soft power in the dimensions of political science and economics has different meanings in detail. The United States, the Republic of Korea, and Japan initiated the concept of soft power in the dimension of political science, aiming for outcomes in international relations. Meanwhile, China, India, and Thailand started from a national agenda for direct economic development. However, all six countries use films as a crucial resource to achieve the desired outcomes, with the intention of using films in the following aspects: 1) The United States uses the method of instilling faith for the world to accept the actions of the U.S.; 2) China uses films as a tool to present entertainment for social creativity; 3) The Republic of Korea uses a method that integrates art and economy, referred to as commercial art in film work; 4) Japan presents films that portray a friendly, neutral image as a country of creativity and imagination as well as presenting common stories that occur in Japanese culture; 5) India prioritizes the Bollywood film industry, using Hindi for communication; and 6) Thailand focuses on presenting Thai identity in films, but the characteristics of Thai identity must be deeply understood to achieve a direction in presenting Thai identity further.
Ameliorative Effects of Curcumin on Ciprofloxacin-Induced Testicular Toxicity: A Study on Reproductive Hormones, Oxidative Stress, and Histological Changes in Adult Male Mice
Authors: Abah Edache Daniel , Eriba Daniel David , Omirida Paul Oda , Ukase Monday Francis , Maikyo Fabian Deungwan
Published: December 2024

Ciprofloxacin, a widely used fluoroquinolone antibiotic, has been associated with testicular toxicity, characterized by oxidative stress and hormonal imbalances that impact male reproductive health. Curcumin, a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, has shown potential in mitigating these effects. This study aimed to evaluate the ameliorative effects of curcumin on ciprofloxacin-induced testicular toxicity in adult male mice, focusing on reproductive hormones, oxidative stress, and histological changes. Thirty mice were divided into six groups, receiving varying doses of ciprofloxacin and curcumin over 30 days. Hormonal assays for testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were performed, alongside assessments of oxidative stress markers like malondialdehyde (MDA) and histopathological analyses of testicular tissue. Results showed a significant reduction in FSH and testosterone levels in ciprofloxacin-treated mice, with curcumin ameliorating these effects in co-treatment groups. MDA levels, an indicator of oxidative stress, were elevated in ciprofloxacin-only groups but significantly reduced in curcumin-treated groups. Histological examination revealed that curcumin protected against ciprofloxacin-induced testicular damage. In conclusion, curcumin demonstrated significant protective effects against ciprofloxacin-induced testicular toxicity by normalizing reproductive hormone levels, reducing oxidative stress, and preserving testicular architecture. These findings suggest curcumin as a potential therapeutic agent for preventing fluoroquinolone-related reproductive toxicity.

The tremendous growth in air traffic and passengers has made airports busier than ever before. This change requires airports to become smarter, more responsive and more efficient to create a seamless airport experience. Airports are increasingly adopting a variety of digital technologies to manage and improve airport performance in terms of resource consumption, carbon emissions and overall passenger journey quality. This graduation project explores the concepts of smart airports and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The main objective of the project is to study specific technologies that will have a strong impact on the development of smart airports. The Internet of Things (IoT) technology forms the basis of this project as we believe it is the core technology behind smart airports. By connecting physical assets, equipment, people and applications, IoT plays a vital role in increasing operational efficiency, improving the passenger experience and creating new revenue streams for airports. The project also focuses on the role of specific digital technologies such as blockchain, biometrics, indoor positioning systems, cloud computing and big data in smart airports. The research methodology of the project is based on quantitative literature research with a focus on big data analysis, including white papers, articles, press releases, annual reports and various studies.

In the Dutch East Indies, there were two different kinds of railway companies: staats spoorwegen and verenigde spoorwegen. This is when the history of PT. Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) started. The operational goals of PT. Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) changed from being socially focused to profit-oriented in 1998 as a result of the business's status change from public corporation to state-owned enterprise (BUMN). The BUMN Law, which established the idea of privatization, brought about this shift. As a result, PT. Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) is also bound by the standards of sound corporate governance and business judgment, which causes a number of problems. These concerns include the form of the transfer of civil rights in the management of state land, the relationship between the privatization of PT. Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) and the transfer of civil rights in the management of state land, and the renewal of the privatization concept in compliance with the 1945 Constitution and Pancasila. Using legislative, conceptual, historical, and case techniques, the research is prescriptive and combines normative and empirical legal research. Primary and secondary data are among the sources and methods used for data gathering. Fieldwork and literature reviews are used to gather data, which is then qualitatively examined. The agreement that forms the foundation for the transfer of PT. Kereta Api Indonesia's civil rights as the owner of management powers over the state makes the link between privatization and the transfer of civil rights very clear. The 1945 Constitution and Pancasila's philosophical and constitutional underpinnings, which place the goal of transferring civil rights in the management rights over state land on the basis of social justice for the greatest welfare of the Indonesian people, serve as the basis for the revision and harmonization of the privatization concept related to the transfer of civil rights in the management rights of PT.KAI.
Propagation of nonstationary boundary disturbances in a half-plane filled with a homogeneous isotropic elastic medium

Published: December 2024

This study presents a method for addressing dynamic issues using an elastic half-plane subjected to different sorts of boundary disturbances. The motion of the half-plane is governed by wave equations that pertain to the scalar and non-zero components of the vector elastic displacement potentials. It is assumed that the starting circumstances are zero. An explicit solution to the problem is obtained by using the integral relation between the components of displacements and stresses of the half-plane boundary. This relation is expressed as a two-dimensional convolution with the influence function resulting from the principle of superposition. The properties of the convolution operation in two variables and the theory of generalized functions are used to derive the solution in integral form. Simultaneously, the acquisition of this solution relies on the technique of decomposing the influence function, whereby it is expressed as the multiplication of two components that meet the predetermined essential criteria. Hence, to get conclusive outcomes, it is important to factorize the impact function that has the given characteristics. The process of obtaining the necessary factorization of the influence function relies on describing its image as a multiplication of individual elements. The first derivation of this function was accomplished by the use of the joint inversion technique of the Fourier-Laplace transform, relying on analytical representations of pictures. Consequently, explicit integral formulae were derived to solve the issue and enable the determination of unknown displacements and stresses at any speed range of motion of the boundary conditions interface point. An example of a particular sort of boundary condition is provided to demonstrate the technique for addressing common situations.
The role of power in market control in supplier-buyer relations
Authors: Gharehdaghi Mandana , Kamann Dirk-Jan F.
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the role of power dynamics in market control within supplier-buyer relationships, with a specific focus on blockchain technology adoption in supply chain networks. Using five focus group discussions, comprising of diverse participants categorized by sector, location, gender, and company size, the research explores how power influences decision-making processes. Findings reveal that larger companies often prioritize stability over innovation, limiting their willingness to adopt disruptive technologies like blockchain. In contrast, smaller firms demonstrate greater flexibility and openness to change. Beyond company size, factors such as product uniqueness, strategic network positions, and the personalities of decision-makers play critical roles in shaping blockchain adoption. Participants also reported persistent pressure from both suppliers and buyers to accept unfavorable terms, underscoring power imbalances that constrain smaller players. The analysis is framed within the conceptual structure of a model with a focus on the nuanced interplay of power and decision-making in the context of supply networks. Qualitative analysis of the discussions, conducted with Atlas.ti software, highlights the influence of sectoral differences, geographical variations, and gender dynamics in supply chain negotiations. This study provides valuable insights into the barriers and enablers of blockchain adoption within complex supply chain networks, emphasizing the critical interplay of power and communication in shaping market control.

This research aims to explore a new conceptual model that can fill the limitations of previous studies and research gaps between organizational learning and organizational innovation which is centered on the concept of mahabbah intellectual stimulation leadership which is expected to encourage increased organizational performance. There are phenomena and research gaps so that a conceptual model is built and a hypothesis is proposed so that the significance of the hypothesis test becomes the basis for answering the research problem. The model produced through the development of organizational learning and organizational innovation based on Mahabbah Intellectual Stimulation Leadership towards improving performance in the Private Higher Education Undergraduate Study Program under the auspices of the Superior Accredited University in LLDIKTI Region VI Central Java is a finding for the novelty of this research. Leadership can be realized through a leadership quality approach, namely Mahabbah Intellectual Stimulation Leadership (MISL), which is a leader's behavior that encourages subordinates to think creatively and innovatively on the basis of compassion and maintaining harmony within the organization and has the potential to increase intelligence and organizational performance. 130 questionnaires were obtained from the Head of the Study Program. Data collection was carried out using a sampling method using proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Model and hypothesis testing was carried out using structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis with AMOS software. The existence of mahabbah intellectual stimulation leadership is an important concept regarding leadership that encourages organizational innovation towards organizational performance. This study develops a new leadership model based on compassion and harmonization based on Islamic values, namely Mahabbah Intellectual Stimulation Leadership. Next, test the relationship of this new concept to organizational learning, organizational innovation and ultimately to improving organizational performance (organizational performance) in the Private Higher Education Undergraduate Study Program under the auspices of the Superior Accredited University in LLDIKTI Region VI, Central Java.
