Authors:   , Zuliani Agda Cristina Fogaça
Published: September 2024

Nos últimos anos, as escolas do ensino regular têm enfrentado o desafio da inclusão de estudantes com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA), destacando a necessidade de desenvolvimento de práticas pedagógicas que atendam às diversas necessidades desses(as) alunos(as) na Educação Inclusiva. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as produções científicas relacionadas às práticas pedagógicas desenvolvidas para alunos(as) com TEA que frequentam os anos iniciais do ensino fundamental, utilizando como base as teses e dissertações disponíveis na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações do Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia (BDTD/Ibict) e defendidas entre os anos de 2012 e 2022. A pergunta central do problema de pesquisa foi: como se configura a produção científica, em nível de teses e dissertações, sobre práticas pedagógicas para alunos(as) com TEA que frequentam os anos iniciais do ensino fundamental? Para alcançar a finalidade desta investigação, este estudo fundamentou-se nas perspectivas teóricas da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural, de Vigotsky, e da Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica, de Saviani. Por enfatizarem a importância das interações sociais e do contexto cultural no processo de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento dos indivíduos, essas abordagens foram adotadas visando promover a igualdade educacional. Ademais, optou-se pela abordagem quali-quantitativa do tipo Estado do Conhecimento, envolvendo procedimentos de análise bibliométrica e análise de conteúdo. As categorias e subcategorias seguiram orientações de Bardin (2016). Por meio dessas análises, buscou-se explorar e compreender as tendências e os enfoques presentes nas teses e dissertações relacionadas ao tema, a fim de contribuir para o conhecimento sobre práticas pedagógicas que promovam a inclusão e a aprendizagem de alunos(as) com TEA no contexto da Educação Inclusiva. O mapeamento das produções e categorias de análise proporcionou elaborar um panorama das diversas abordagens utilizadas pelos(as) educadores(as) para atender às particularidades de estudantes com TEA. Os resultados desta pesquisa ressaltaram a importância da abordagem intencional nas práticas pedagógicas, respaldada por conhecimentos teóricos fundamentados na Psicologia Histórico-Cultural e na Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica. Além disso, salientaram a necessidade de implementar ações que aprimorem essas práticas, com ênfase na formação continuada de professores(as) e na atualização de estratégias pedagógicas específicas e adequadas. Esses achados não apenas contribuem para uma compreensão aprofundada das práticas inclusivas, mas também servem como fonte de informações para futuros leitores e leitoras interessados nas abordagens pedagógicas voltadas para alunos e alunas com TEA.

Marketing relacji jako nowoczesna strategia biznesu wspierająca działania jednostek samorządu terytorialnego w regionie
Authors: Wereda Wioletta
Published: September 2024

W ostatnich latach rozwój gospodarki rynkowej w Polsce sprawił, że zwykłe administrowanie w samorządach lokalnych przestało się sprawdzać. Potrzebne stało się wdrożenie zarządzania gminą. Działania wchodzące w skład procesu zarządzania jednostką samorządu terytorialnego można podzielić na kilka rodzajów. Najważniejszymi z nich są: określenie założeń polityki gminy oraz koordynowanie realizacji polityki lokalnej, a także monitorowanie wykorzystania zasobów i środków oddanych do dyspozycji gminy, weryfikowanie i kontrola efektów realizacji celów polityki lokalnej, jak również wdrażanie marketingu terytorialnego, który ma służyć tworzeniu określonego wizerunku jednostki i pomagać w jej rozwoju w danym regionie. Niestety elementy marketingu terytorialnego we współczesnej gospodarce coraz częściej są niewystarczające, dlatego też specjaliści poszukują nowych narzędzi wspomagających działania gmin w regionie. W związku z tym terytorialny marketing relacji stanie się jednym z ważniejszych zagadnień poruszanych i stosowanych przez praktyków w zarządzaniu jednostkami samorządu terytorialnego.

A method for solving reconfiguration blueprints based on multi-agent reinforcement learning
Authors: Cheng Jing , Tan Wen , Lv Guangzhe , Li Guodong , Zhang Wentao , Liu Zihao
Published: September 2024

Integrated modular avionics systems primarily achieve system fault tolerance by reconfiguring the system configuration blueprints. In the design of manual reconfiguration, the quality of reconfiguration blueprints is influenced by various unstable factors, leading to a certain degree of uncertainty. The effectiveness of reconfiguration blueprints depends on various factors, including load balancing, the impact of reconfiguration, and the time required for the process. Solving high-quality reconfiguration configuration blueprints can be regarded as a type of multi-objective optimization problem. Traditional algorithms have limitations in solving multi-objective optimization problems. Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) is an important branch in the field of machine learning. It enables the accomplishment of more complex tasks in dynamic real-world scenarios through interaction and decision-making. Combining Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning algorithms with reconfiguration techniques and utilizing MARL methods to generate blueprints can optimize the quality of blueprints in multiple ways. In this paper, an Improved Value-Decomposition Networks (VDN) based on the average sequential cumulative reward is proposed. By refining the characteristics of the integrated modular avionics system, mathematical models are developed for both the system and the reconfiguration blueprint. The Improved VDN algorithm demonstrates superior convergence characteristics and optimization effects compared with traditional reinforcement learning algorithms such as Q-learning, Deep Q-learning Network (DQN), and VDN. This superiority has been confirmed through experiments involving single and continuous faults.
PTB-FLA development paradigm adaptation for ChatGPT

Published: September 2024

The Python Testbed for Federated Learning Algorithms (PTB-FLA) is a simple Python FL framework that is targeting edge systems and is by its design easy to use by human ML&AI developers. The original PTB-FLA development paradigm intended for humans consists of the four phases (producing the sequential code, the federated code, the federated code with callbacks, and the PTB-FLA code, respectively), and hence dubbed the four-phases (development) paradigm, was validated in the case study on the logistic regression. In this paper, we adapted the original paradigm into the two new paradigms for ChatGPT, named the adapted four-phases paradigm and the adapted two-phases paradigm, respectively. In tune with its name, the latter consists of two phases (producing the sequential and the PTB-FLA code, respectively). We successfully validated both new paradigms using the same case study on logistic regression that was used for the original paradigm. The results are positive and encouraging as the resulting program codes are of better quality than the codes solely made by humans using the original paradigm.

Authors: Kaur Gaganpreet , Kaur Amandeep , Khurana Meenu , Damasevicius Robertas
Published: September 2024

Sentiment analysis is the task of computationally identifying and quantifying the emotions and opinions expressed in text. However, existing sentiment analysis tools, while increasingly sophisticated, face challenges when applied to complex and personal domains such as love letters. This study investigates the performance and accuracy of four popular Python libraries for sentiment analysis (TextBlob, Vader, Flair, and Hugging Face Transformer) in determining the polarity and intensity of sentiments in love letters. A corpus of 300 love letters was collected and randomly sampled to provide 500 sentences for analysis. Due to the lack of labelled data, human experts participated in evaluating the quality and accuracy of the sentiment annotations. Inter-rater agreements were computed among four judges across randomly sampled sentence lots in two distinct blind rounds. The results reveal varying degrees of effectiveness and agreement among sentiment analysis tools (TextBlob, Vader, Flair, and Hugging Face) and human judges, with Cohen?s Kappa values showing low to moderate agreement (ranging from 0.09 to 0.77), and each tool demonstrating unique strengths?Vader excelling in sentiment intensity and Flair with Hugging Face better at contextual nuances?in handling the emotional complexity of the texts. The study also highlights limitations and proposes some custom metrics for evaluating sentiment analysis tools in the context of love letters, such as tenderness index, passion quotient, nostalgia score, and others. The findings contribute to the emerging field of sentiment analysis and provide insights for developing natural language models better suited for personal and emotionally charged domains.

An experiment was conducted during March-April, 2018–19 and 2019–20 in the Department of Agricultural Entomology, Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Pundibari, Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India to evaluate the duration of residual toxicity of five conventional as well as recently introduced acaricides against red spider mite, Oligonychus coffeae on tea. Five acaricides having different mode of actions were selected for the present study. Fenazaquin10 EC, propargite 57 EC, hexythiazox 5.45 EC, spiromesifen 22.9SC and cyflumetofen 20SC were sprayed @ 100, 430, 15,96 and 125 g a.i. ha-1, respectively. Treated leaves were collected from the field and bioassay experiments were conducted in the laboratory. The results revealed that cyflumetofen 20 SC persisted for a longer duration (28 days) with the highest PT value (2347.24) whereas, propargite 57 EC persisted for a relatively short duration (22 days) with lesser PT values (1678.93). Higher LT50 values of 23.83 and 24.26 days were also observed in case of cyflumetofen 20 SC @ 125 g a.i. ha-1 during 1st and 2nd years of study, respectively. The lowest LT50 value was observed in propargite 57 EC @ 430 g a.i. ha-1. Spiromesifen 22.9 SC was found to be the second-best treatment and it showed the LT50 value 22.34 and 22.42 days during 1st and 2nd year of study, respectively.
Las sensaciones emotivas y los enunciados morales generan conocimiento científico
Authors: Robles Francia Víctor Hugo
Published: September 2024

La epistemología predominantemente del empirismo lógico y del racionalismo destaca, que solo las premisas descriptivas y empíricas deducen conclusiones verdaderas válidas. Rechazando toda enunciación moral y afectiva por expresar algún deseo, pero que son imposibles de valorarse como verdaderas. El propósito del presente texto fue demostrar que los enunciados morales y las emociones generan conclusiones válidas y ayudan al saber humano. Se siguió un procedimiento cualitativo, realizándose un análisis teórico de las premisas epistemológicas y deduciendo sus limitaciones argumentativas. Los resultados mostraron, que al asumir plenamente premisas, aunque sean valorativas, enunciativas de deseos y/o prescriptivas, se obtienen conclusiones viables. Asimismo, se encontró, que las emociones como la intuición y la simpatía trabajan juntas para producir conocimiento. Determinando así, que las argumentaciones morales y las emociones deducen conclusiones viables del conocimiento.

AIM OF THE STUDY. To establish the incidence of acute thrombosis of the veins of the lower extremities and the activity of the most significant trigger agents that led to this complication in patients with a new coronavirus infection.

   MATERIAL AND METHODS. The clinical section of the work is presented by observations of 123 patients with acute surgical pathology and thrombosis of the veins of the lower extremities. The first group (comparison) (n = 48) included patients with thrombosis of the veins of the lower extremities, the second (studied) group (n = 87) included patients with a similar problem that arose against the background of coronavirus infection. All patients underwent surgical interventions: thrombectomy and plication. Before surgery, on the 1st, 4th and 7th days after surgery, disorders of the hemostasis system, the severity of endogenous intoxication syndrome, and lipid metabolism were assessed.

   RESULTS. Damage to the veins of the lower extremities in patients with acute surgical pathology and new coronavirus infection occurs much more often, in 8.04 % of cases, than in such patients without COVID-19, in 0.76% (χ2 = 252.5, p < 0.001). Of the 87 patients with acute venous thrombosis of the inferior vena cava system and COVID-19, 63 patients (72.41 %) were operated on. In the early postoperative period, venous rethmbosis occurred in 11 (17.5 %) patients. The mortality rate was 6.3 %. According to thromboelastography, in the main group the values of such parameters as reactive time, the growth rate of the fibrin network and its structure formation and the maximum strength of the clot were statistically significantly higher than in the control group, which indicates the predominance of hypercoagulation in these patients. Patients in this group showed more significant phenomena of endotoxemia, oxidative stress and activation of phospholipases.

   CONCLUSION. With a new coronavirus infection, surgical patients have a high probability of developing threatening thrombohemorrhagic complications. The most important trigger for their occurrence is significant disturbances in the hemostatic system, which are generally characterized by an increased ability of the blood to form thrombosis against the background of a decrease in its fibrinolytic activity. Disturbances in the hemostatic system occurred against the background of oxidative stress, activation of phospholipases and endotoxemia. The obtained material is proof of the significance of the new coronavirus COVID-19 infection worsens coagulopathy, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease in general and the development of complications.

Published: September 2024

AIM OF STUDY. To analyze results of surgical treatment of infective endocarditis in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic at the N. V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine.

   MATERIAL AND METHODS. From January, 2021 to April, 2022 at N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine we performed 59 surgical interventions on patients diagnosed with infective endocarditis, of which 20 patients (33.9%) had a competing diagnosis “new coronavirus infection”.

   RESULTS. The overall mortality was for the specified period was 18.6 %, 11 patients. In the first group, 5 patients died (25 %). Hospital mortality in the second group was 6 patients (15.4 %).

   CONCLUSION. Preoperative preparation, as well as the surgical intervention itself, did not differ significantly between patients in the two groups. Hospital mortality in the group of patients with new coronavirus infection was higher than in patients without the virus, despite the fact that the risk of surgical intervention according to EuroSCORE II was higher in the second group. From which we can conclude that the EuroSCORE risk scale II does not fully reflect the initial severity of the condition of patients with COVID-19. Such risk factors as decreased immunity due to immunosuppressive therapy and respiratory failure and coagulopathy influenced the results of surgical treatment of infective endocarditis in this cohort of patients, but not so significantly as to refuse surgical intervention. The significant difference in the postoperative period was the increase in bed days in intensive care and therapeutic departments among patients with COVID-19. This factor is associated with the initial severity and specifics of management of these patients in the postoperative period, which required greater vigilance and attention from cardiac surgeons, resuscitators and infectious disease doctors in the “red” zones.

Published: September 2024

AIM OF STUDY. To evaluate the effectiveness of prolonged blockade of the transverse abdominal space compared with analgesia based on ketoprofen and tramadol after operations for closing intestinal stomas from local access.

   MATERIAL AND METHODS. The prospective single-center randomized study included 74 patients aged from 23 to 83 years (Me = 61; Q1 = 49–Q3 = 67) during the period January–December 2021. Patients were randomly divided into two groups depending on the method of postoperative pain relief. Randomization was carried out using the envelope method. The main group consisted of 41 patients who, for pain relief after surgery, had a catheter installed for prolonged blockade of the transverse abdominal space. In case of ineffectiveness, ketoprofen and tramadol were prescribed according to the regimen. The comparison group consisted of 33 patients who received postoperative analgesia based on ketoprofen as the main drug and tramadol as a rescue drug. The groups were statistically comparable in terms of basic characteristics. Over the course of 4 days, we assessed the daily dosage of tramadol and ketoprofen, the level of dynamic and static pain on a digital rating scale, the time and degree of activity, the frequency of urinary retention, the occurrence of nausea and vomiting, the timing of return to good nutrition and restoration of bowel function, and the duration of postoperative treatment.

   RESULTS. The study included 74 patients. In the main group, on the first day, the frequency of additional use of tramadol (17 % versus 57.6 %, p  = 0.0007) and the frequency of use of submaximal daily dosage (0 % versus 24.2 %, p = 0.003) were statistically significantly lower than in the comparison group. In the comparison group, the frequency of ketoprofen use was higher on days 2 (54 % vs. 94 %, p = 0.0004), days 3 (36.6 % vs. 76 %, p = 0.0018) and days 4 (19 % versus 52 %, p = 0.0081) due to the administration of the maximum daily dosage (all comparisons given are statistically significant). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of the level of pain at rest and movement, as well as the level of activity of the patients. The period of activity in patients of the main group during the day was statistically significantly longer on the 2nd (on average 30 minutes versus 15 minutes, p = 0.0187) and 3rd day (on average 60 minutes versus 45 minutes, p = 0.043).

   CONCLUSIONS. Extended blockade of the transverse abdominal space is an effective method of pain relief after operations to close an intestinal stoma from local access, significantly reducing the need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and opioid analgesics.

Authors: Simonova A. Yu. , Ilyashenko K. K. , Potskhveriya M. M. , Belova M. V. , Asanova L. R.
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND. At the beginning of the 21st century, the structure of acute exotoxicoses changed, in particular, an increase in poisoning by drugs that mainly affect the cardiovascular system, including calcium channel blockers, was noted. Currently, there is no clear treatment algorithm for this group of patients.

   AIM OF STUDY. To evaluate the effectiveness of methods for the treatment of acute calcium channel blocker (ССВ) poisoning according to the literature.

   MATERIAL AND METHODS. The search for domestic publications was carried out in the eLibrary database, foreign ones - in the MEDLINE/PubMed, Google Scholar databases for the period from 2010 to February 2022, as well as among previously published works that have no modern analogues. The terms used as a search query were according to the official MeSH terms: “calcium channel blockers” OR “Blockers, Calcium Channel” OR “Calcium Channel Antagonists” AND “poisoning”.

   RESULTS. This review contains information about the mechanism of action, clinical picture, diagnosis of calcium channel blocker poisoning, as well as the results of using various methods of treatment for this pathology.

   CONCLUSIONS. Summarizing the data obtained, it is possible to schematically present an algorithm for the treatment of patients with acute CCB poisoning. After cleansing the gastrointestinal tract and starting infusion therapy, pathogenetic treatment with the use of calcium preparations should be carried out, subsequently, in case of unstable hemodynamics, the prescription of vasopressors and inotropic drugs is indicated; and if there is no positive dynamics, insulin therapy must be added. However, it should be noted that such a scheme is indicative, reflecting the key points. In general, this problem remains open and requires further multicenter studies.

Published: September 2024

This article examines the role of YouTube Content as an intellectual property asset (IP) in copyright transactions in banking financing, where the content is used as collateral. The main focus is on how copyrighted content, such as that found on YouTube, can enhance value and provide legal certainty on the assets in financing. Using normative juridical analysis and qualitative analysis methods, this research discusses regulations, expert views, and legal aspects related to Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), with a specific focus on YouTube content. The research findings indicate that YouTube content has great potential as collateral in financing but is hindered by legal challenges such as determining the value of IPRs, copyright protection, and changing market dynamics.
Government Regulation Number 24 of 2022 supports the creative economy through an IPR-based financing scheme, requiring legal awareness and collaboration among all stakeholders. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of proactive action by banks to protect copyrights when using YouTube content as collateral, as well as the importance of legal certainty to support creative economic actors. The implementation of these regulations is considered strategic to support the growth of the creative economy, with the protection and utilization of IPRs as key assets.

Published: September 2024

Bacteria, including enterococci, occur and exist in biofilm which is more favourable for them than existence in a planktonic form. In this study, 28 faecal canine strains of the species E. hirae were assessed to have virulence factor genes when studying their antibiotic status (susceptibility and/or resistance) but also their biofilm-forming ability, to assess their pathogenic potential. Biofilm-forming ability was associated with the presence of the intercellular adhesion gene cluster (ica) mediating the production of the polysaccharide intercellular adhesion. The bap gene (for biofilm-associated protein) encodes a protein associated with the cell wall. Only E. hirae CH+P/2a possessed the ica gene (for biofilm production) but the strains did not possess the bap gene. However, regarding the biofilm-forming ability testing using a quantitative method, 16 out of the 28 E. hirae showed low-grade positive biofilm-forming ability. Twelve strains did not form a biofilm. In two strains (EH/CH10b, EH/CH+P/4a), the adhesin gene efaAfm was found, and also esp and gelE genes (for surface protein and gelatinase). Gentamicin was the most effective antibiotic against canine E. hirae strains (100% susceptibility). On the other hand, the highest resistance (57.1%) was recorded in the case of ampicillin. Following assessment of E. hirae in this study, it was found that they did not show pathogenic potential.

This study evaluated a new presynchronization method, the combination of Presynch and Ovsynch, prior to the implementation of the Ovsynch-fixed timed artificial insemination (OVS+FTAI) protocol, as modified by Double-Ovsynch (MDO) compared to the G6G protocol. Lactating Holstein cows in G6G (n=250) and MDO (n=270) treatment groups received the following treatments, respectively: PGF2α-2d-GnRH(pre-GnRH1)-6d-OVS+FTAI (GnRH(GnRH1)-7d-PGF2α(PG)-2d-GnRH(GnRH2)-18h-FTAI) and PGF2α-7d-GnRH-7d-PGF2α-3d-GnRH(pre-GnRH1)-7d-OVS+FTAI. On average, the days in milk (DIM) of cows at the time of GnRH1 injection was 75±0.08 (mean±SEM). Pregnancy was diagnosed 32-38 days after timed AI by ultrasonographic examination. Modified Double-Ovsynch increased the pregnancies per AI (P/AI) compared to the G6G protocol (P=0.01). For all cows (n=520), the pregnancy rate was higher in cows that had preovulatory follicles ≥16 mm in diameter at the time of GnRH2 injection, compared to the cows that had preovulatory follicles <16 mm in diameter at the same time (P=0.03). Modified Double-Ovsynch increased the mean (±SEM) serum concentration of progesterone (P4, ng/ml) at PG compared to the G6G protocol (P<0.01). Therefore, MDO increased the pregnancy rate of cows at the first postpartum insemination compared to the G6G protocol, due to the induction of ovulation in noncyclic cows, improvement of synchronization in ovarian events, improvement of the quality of the ovulatory follicles and oocytes, and provision of an appropriate intrauterine environment for embryonic development and survival.

Sacbrood virus (SBV), infecting both larva and adult honeybees, is one of the most common honeybee viruses encountered worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and genetic diversity of SBV in honeybees, and to determine the role of Varroa destructor (V. destructor) in the transmission of this virus. Adult honeybee samples were collected from randomly selected apiaries (n=62) in the Hatay Province in Türkiye. The presence of the V. destructor was investigated using a stereo microscope, whereas one step real time RT-PCR method was used to detect SBV in honeybees and V. destructor samples. It was determined that 8.1% (5/62) of the apiaries were infected with SBV. Furthermore, V. destructor was detected in 17 (27.4%) apiaries. However, the presence of SBV could not be detected in V. destructor samples. The results of the phylogenetic analysis, based on the SBV polyprotein gene, indicated that the isolates detected in this study belonged to the Türkiye genotype, displaying a separate cluster from the European-South American, Korean and Asian genotypes. This result suggests that genetic differences between SBV isolates vary depending on geographical distribution. Thus, further research is required to determine the SBV genotypes in Türkiye, and to understand the role of V. destructor in SBV transmission.

Climate change is the most important environmental problem of the 21st century. Severe climate changes are caused by changes in the average temperature and rainfall can affect economic sectors. On the other hand, the impact of climate change on countries varies depending on their level of development. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between climate changes and economic sectors in developed and developing countries for the period 1990–2021. For this purpose, a novel approach based on wavelet analysis and SUR model has been used. In this case, first all variables are decomposed into different frequencies (short, medium and long terms) using wavelet decomposition and then a SUR model is applied for the examination of climate change effects on agriculture, industry and services sectors in developed and developing countries. The findings indicate that temperature and rainfall have a significant negative and positive relationship with the agriculture, industry and services sectors in developed and developing countries, respectively. But severity of the negative effects is greater in the agricultural and industrial sectors in all frequencies (short, medium and long terms) compared to service sector. Furthermore, the severity of the positive effects is greater in the agricultural sector in all frequencies of developing countries compared to the industrial and services sectors. Finally, developing countries are more vulnerable to climate change in all sectors compared to developed countries.

Financial literacy is an essential life skill today and plays a crucial role in business success. This study examined the relationship between college students’ financial literacy, financial management behavior, and entrepreneurial opportunity recognition. A survey was conducted among college students in the Busan and Gyeongnam regions, and a total of 272 responses were analyzed using SPSS 28.0. The results showed that financial literacy partially positively affects financial management behavior. Furthermore, financial management behavior positively influences entrepreneurial opportunity recognition. Financial management behavior partially mediates the relationship between financial literacy and entrepreneurial opportunity recognition. Improving the financial literacy of college students during adolescence serves as a motivation for entrepreneurship and significantly impacts their exploration and practice of various income activities to achieve their expected future living standards. The study’s findings indicate that for potential entrepreneurs, recognizing and promoting entrepreneurship as a source of innovation and growth requires incorporating financial literacy and desirable financial management behavior education into university curricula.

This research aims to explore the impact of government policies to promote mass tourism in Bali. Qualitative method with the support of a phenomenological approach and in-depth interviews and FGD. The Butler tourism area life cycle model theory is used to evaluate the impact of tourism on land use and cultural conflict with six stages of destination development, namely exploration, involvement, development, consolidation, stagnation, and decline or rejuvenation. The findings reveal that Bali has experienced all stages of Butler’s model. From 1960–1970, Bali was in the exploration phase, offering tourists authentic experiences. At the beginning of 1970–2000, Bali had entered five phases marked by rapid tourism growth. Now, Bali reached a consolidation phase with a focus on managing tourism quality. Now, Bali is entering a phase of stagnation, facing challenges such as overcrowding and environmental degradation. Bali is at the crossroads between phases of decline and rejuvenation, with efforts to overcome environmental problems and diversify tourism products. This study concludes that mass tourism has significant positive and negative impacts on tourist destinations. Although it can improve the local economy and preserve culture, it can also cause environmental damage and cultural conflict. The Bali government’s policy strategy for the future is to overcome cultural conflicts including tourist education, sustainable tourism development, empowerment of local communities, enforcement of regulations, and intercultural dialogue. The implementation of this policy strategy can be carried out effectively to manage cultural conflicts towards a sustainable Bali tourism future.

This study aims to analyze the impact of board diversity and firm size on return on assets (ROA) in Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia from 2017 to 2023. Board diversity is measured by variables such as the percentage of women on the board, the average age of board members, and the education level of board members. Firm size is measured based on the total assets owned by the bank. The research method employed is multiple regression analysis using panel data consisting of annual reports of Islamic commercial banks registered with the Financial Services Authority (FSA) during 2017-2023. The research results indicate that board diversity, particularly the presence of women on the board, does not affect ROA. Additionally, the age of directors has a significant negative impact on ROA, while the education level of board members shows no effect on the bank's financial performance. Meanwhile, firm size has a considerable positive impact on ROA. This study contributes to the literature on corporate governance and financial performance in the Islamic banking sector by highlighting the significance of board diversity in enhancing financial performance.
