Authors: Litali Victoria , Opuodho Gordon , Fatoki Olanrewaju
Published: January 2025

This research focuses on the effect of Official Development Assistance (ODA) on the economic development of the East African Community, with Trade openness as a moderating variable. This study adopts a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) for 1974-2022 to investigate the cointegration between ODA balance, trade openness, and economic growth in five East African countries. The findings reveal a complex dynamic relationship: whereas ODA has a positive individual impact on economic growth, as well as the interaction of ODA and Trade openness also has a positive and significant effect. This indicates that the characteristics of trade policy condition the ability of ODA to promote economic growth. This means that characteristics of the trade policy condition the ability of ODA to promote economic growth. Based on the findings, the study adds to the ever-ongoing aid inefficiency discourse by underlining the necessity of an 'enabling environment' in the form of trade openness, significantly boosting the growth impact of ODA. These outcomes have significant implications for policymakers in countries of the third world where compliance with ODA missions could be made efficient by implementing the missions of trade openness. According to the study, there is a call for the strategies of foreign aid and trade liberalization toward the development of economic growth in developing countries.

Published: January 2025

Sustainability is essential in the planning of resilient cities and buildings. However, there are still several gaps, including: a lack of methods that integrate buildings and their context; assessments that focus only on generic realities; and the idea that sustainability can be achieved with static technologies. Thus, we start from the idea that the sustainability of the neighborhood or city depends on the buildings, and vice versa. The aim is to present the USAT System proposal, based on the ESA-B model. The management method evaluates the sustainability of the neighborhood based on indicators at the urban and building scale. The system is made up of 4 panels: Shocks, Urban Structure, Conducts and Performance. The research methodology is presented in three stages: review of existing methods and their correlation; selection of indicators and composition of the framework; application of the delphi technique and formulation of the sustainability management model and data collection for evaluation and validation. The proposal provides support for the development of public policies, considering the relationship between the structure of the place and the buildings constructed. In addition, it is easily accessible to residents, allowing them to analyze the sustainability of their building and the neighborhood in which they live.

Authors: Meena Reema , Sharma Ashish , Garg Namita , Yadav Ramgopal
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The popularity of the transdermal buprenorphine patch (TDB) is currently increasing for chronic pain management because of its ease of use, non-invasive nature, sustained drug delivery, and avoidance of side effects associated with oral or parenteral routes. However, its role in postoperative pain management for aortofemoral bypass surgery is poorly established. The study was designed to compare the postoperative analgesic effect of intravenous tramadol versus transdermal buprenorphine patch in patients undergoing aortofemoral graft surgery. Objective: To compare the efficacy between a buprenorphine patch versus intravenous tramadol for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing aortofemoral bypass surgeries.  Methods: This is a hospital-based, prospective, randomized, and interventional study. This study was conducted in the cardiac surgery Operation Theatre (OT). A total of 60 patients of either sex belonging to ASA 2 or 3 in the age group of 30-60 years and BMI ≤ 40 kg/m2 scheduled for aortofemoral bypass surgery were enrolled in this study. These 60 patients were divided into two groups; the intravenous tramadol and the transdermal buprenorphine patch group using a randomization table. Results: The two groups were comparable in terms of demographical data, duration of surgery, and time for extubation. The analysis of variance showed that the VAS score was higher in the buprenorphine group as compared to the tramadol group for the first 3 hours post operatively but after that, the VAS score was significantly less in the buprenorphine group at various study intervals. A greater number of patients complained of pain for the first 3 hours postoperatively, but after that the patients had better pain relief for the rest of the study period. Conclusion: Transdermal buprenorphine applied preoperatively is a safe and effective option for postoperative pain management as it offers superior pain control and reduces the need for rescue analgesia, thereby decreasing potential side effects as compared to intravenous tramadol.
Acute Lung Oedema in Severe Pre-eclampsia: Advanced Management and Anesthetic Interventions
Authors: Hotabilardus Nusi Andreas , Anggraeni Novita
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Acute Lung Oedema (ALO) during pregnancy is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition, particularly when associated with severe pre-eclampsia. This critical obstetric emergency requires prompt recognition and comprehensive management to prevent adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Objective: This report aims to highlights the management of a complex case of ALO in a pregnant patient with severe pre-eclampsia, underscoring the essential role of multidisciplinary collaboration, evidence-based protocols, and individualized care in achieving favorable outcomes. Case Report: A 30-year-old woman at 29–30 weeks gestation presented with significantly reduced consciousness and severe shortness of breath. Clinical examination revealed hypertension, tachycardia, and profound hypoxemia, with radiological evidence of pulmonary oedema. The diagnosis included severe-feature pre-eclampsia complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to ALO. Endotracheal intubation was used to protect the mother's airway, mechanical ventilation was used to help her get enough oxygen, and her blood pressure and heart rate were stabilized right away. Fluid therapy was carefully monitored to avoid exacerbating pulmonary oedema. Obstetric management prioritized delaying delivery until maternal stabilization was achieved. A surgical intervention under general anesthesia resulted in the delivery of a moderately distressed neonate. Postoperative care in the intensive care unit included continued mechanical ventilation, sedation, and meticulous fluid management. Gradual stabilization allowed for successful weaning off ventilatory support, extubation, and transfer to a general hospital ward. Discussion: Management strategies were guided by the ABCDE principle, targeting reductions in left ventricular preload and afterload, adequate oxygenation, and infection prevention. The case emphasizes the value of early diagnosis, prompt intervention, and interdisciplinary collaboration involving obstetricians, intensivists, and anesthetists. Conclusion: This case illustrates the importance of early recognition, swift intervention, and tailored care in managing ALO associated with severe pre-eclampsia. Comprehensive, team-based approaches are critical for optimizing maternal and neonatal outcomes in such high-risk scenarios.

“…VE MECLİS-İ UMÛMÎYİ KÜŞAD EYLERİM”: NUTK-I HÜMAYUNLAR ÜZERİNE KARŞILAŞTIRMALI BİR İNCELEME
Authors: Arı Abdullah Said
Published: January 2025

Meşrutiyetin ilanı ile Osmanlı Devleti’nin bir anayasal monarşi haline gelmesi devletin idari yapısında bazı değişikliklere yol açmıştır. Bu değişikliklerin en önemlilerinden birisi halk tarafından seçilen temsilcilerden müteşekkil bir meclisin devlet işlerinde istişare merci ve yasama organı olarak görev almasıdır. Meclisin Osmanlı Devleti’ne getirdiği yeniliklerden birisi de sultanların her yasama yılı başında mebusan ve âyan önünde irad edilen açılış konuşmalarıdır. Nutk-ı hümayun olarak isimlendirilen bu konuşmalar, devletin yürütme erkinin başı olan ve rejim bir monarşi olduğu için en üst temsil yetkisini haiz olan sultanın hem halkın temsilcilerine hem de genel kamuoyuna siyasal perspektifini sunduğu başlıca fırsatı oluşturmaktadır. Bu nutuklar sultanın parçası olduğu siyasi ve idari yapı ile yaşanan gelişmeleri nasıl yorumladığını ve kamuoyuna nasıl bir söylem ile sunduğunu göstermesi açısından önem taşımaktadır. Sultan II. Abdülhamid, Mehmed Reşad ve Mehmed Vahdeddin’in Meclis-i Umumî’nin toplantı yılı açılış törenlerinde yaptıkları konuşmalar Osmanlı son dönemi siyasal tartışmalarına devletin en tepesindeki kişinin yorumu üzerinden alternatif bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır. Çalışmamızda nutk-ı hümayunlar eleştirel söylem analizi, tür analizi ve frekans analizi yöntemleri ile incelenerek genel yapısı, temaları ve kullanılan söylem strateji ve teknikleri üzerinden karşılaştırmalı bir şekilde tahlil edilmiştir. İncelemede meşrutiyet ve barışçıl dış siyaset ana temalarının öne çıktığı görülmüş, İslami kaynaklara referans, tarihin seçmeci kullanımı, modern siyasi kavramlara gönderme, padişahın toplumsal-siyasi düzlemdeki pozisyonunu en üstte konumlandırma ve muğlaklaştırma stratejilerinin kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir.

Among secondary metabolites, phenolic and volatile compounds are major contributors to wine quality. Their quantities in wines will depend on several factors, their concentrations in grapes but also their extraction rates, along with a number of other factors. Extraction is a complicated process which involves interactions with other compounds; e.g., polysaccharides and proteins. The aim of this work was to evaluate the potential of merging different analytical methods for identifying different compounds at different scales. Known methods in wine analysis, such as phloroglucinolysis, were complemented with methods usually applied to other food products and rarely or never on grapes or wines, such as solid-state NMR and NMR water mobility by 1H MRI. The feasibility of merging these methods was validated on this first trial. While the results did not allow us to answer questions related to the study, they raised other interesting questions to be addressed in future experiments.

On the critical nucleus and nucleation process of β-cristobalite crystal
Authors: Cheng Shangcong
Published: January 2025

Despite several decades of study, there has been much controversy regarding the structure of the glass and the nature of glass transition. Understanding the nucleation process of β-cristobalite is an important step in studying the formation of silica glass structure. The knowledge of structural change in the system prior to critical nucleus formation is crucial to follow the structural evolution of silica glass in the cooling process. The existing classical nucleation theory (CNT) has limitations in this aspect as it does not evaluate the critical role of the disorder–order transition in the nucleation process nor does it provide structural information before the critical nucleation. This work proposes a new hypothesis describing the critical nucleus’s shape, size, and formation pathway. An analysis based on the newly proposed hypothesis shows that the most popular continuous random network (CRN) theory cannot completely describe the heterogeneous glass structure. A new theory that recognizes the small clusters in glass structures is needed.
Mechanical performance of rattan cane wood fiber–reinforced polymer at high temperatures
Authors: Anayo Agbo Cornelius Ogbodo
Published: January 2025

The growing applications of natural fibers and green composites in manufacturing various products have expanded the search for more functional and sustainable fibers. Due to availability, cost, and environmental concerns, there is a continued effort to seek more natural fibers that can effectively substitute synthetic ones. The high resilience quality observed in cane wood sticks spurred interest in their potential for fiber production and use in composites. However, one drawback of using natural fiber in composites is its poor temperature tolerance. This article seeks to study the thermal behavior of rattan cane wood fiber–reinforced plastic under elevated temperatures. The high-temperature analysis was conducted by heating the produced cane wood fiber/polyester composite sample from 50°C to 400°C and taking weight measurements at 50°C intervals. At 200°C, the composite began degrading, with evidence of a 4% mass reduction. A further increase to 250°C resulted in a mass reduction of 9.1%. Additionally, a mass reduction of 10.5% was observed when the temperature was increased to 300°C. Subsequently, as the temperature was increased to 350°C and 400°C, mass reductions of 31.6% and 67.6%, respectively, were observed. The structural integrity of the material was also compromised, as evidenced by the presence of cracks, charring, and loss of strength. This implies that the composite is thermally unstable at such high temperatures.
Perceived loneliness during COVID-19 and young adult mental well-being: testing socioeconomic status as a moderator
Authors: Matlock Falescia , Langlais Michael
Published: January 2025

It is not currently known how perceived loneliness during the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with emerging adults’ mental health and whether socioeconomic status (SES) moderated this relationship. The psychosocial development theory states that emerging adults experience a psychological conflict—intimacy versus isolation—where the goal is to seek connections; without connections, emerging adults are likely to experience mental health challenges. These challenges may be exacerbated for those with lower SES. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of perceived social distancing guidelines on the mental health of emerging adults and if this relationship is moderated by SES. This study followed a quantitative, cross-sectional design where emerging adults (aged 18–25; M = 20.13, SD = 1.61) completed an online survey (N = 103) regarding their well-being, perceived loneliness, and SES. Data were analyzed using regression analyses. The results revealed that perceived loneliness was associated with lower levels of well-being (more depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress), but SES did not moderate this relationship. Experiences of perceived loneliness did not vary by SES, as many individuals struggled with social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic regardless of their financial situation.

Published: January 2025

This study introduces GABALAGEN® (GL), a marine-derived ingredient combining low-molecular-weight fish collagen and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) produced via lactobacillus fermentation. GL contains approximately 10% GABA, making up 39% of its free amino acid profile. A 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 100 adults (aged 35–65) assessed its effects on aging skin. Participants consumed 1,500 mg/day of GL in jelly form, with 94% completing the study. By Week 12, the GL group showed a 20% increase in skin hydration and a 15% reduction in wrinkle depth. Improvements in skin density and elasticity were also observed, with no adverse effects reported. In vitro tests demonstrated strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, including enhanced superoxide dismutase activity and reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in UVB-irradiated keratinocytes. GL exemplifies sustainable innovation by upcycling fishery byproducts into high-value materials while addressing stability issues common to seafood-derived products. The fermentation process ensures safety and enhances GABA’s antioxidant activity and bioavailability. This scalable method aligns with circular economic principles and global sustainability goals, extending GL’s potential to other functional materials which were proved their safety. GL represents a breakthrough in nutricosmetics, combining efficacy, environmental sustainability, and industrial innovation.

Objective. Clinical and pathogenetic rationale and evaluation of the efficacy of a two-stage approach to prevent preeclampsia (PE) in women with high-risk pregnancies, including the administration of insulin-sensitizer metformin (IMF) in the pre-conception period and non-pharmacological carbogen prophylaxis (CBP) during pregnancy.
Patients and methods. The study included 298 women at high risk of PE with different methods of prevention: group 1 – 78 women who received IMF in the pre-conception period and CBP during pregnancy; group 2 – 76 women who received IMF in the pre-conception period and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) according to clinical guidelines (CG); group 3 – 74 women who received ASA according to CG; group 4 – 70 patients who refused prevention. Group 5 (control) comprised of 30 women with uncomplicated pregnancies. The determination of markers of hormonal and metabolic, pro-inflammatory, endothelial and hemostasis patterns, placental angiogenesis, and the erythrocyte link was performed at 12–14, 19–21, 32–34 weeks of gestation. The target indicator “PE incidence” was chosen to calculate the effect size of preventive intervention.
Results. Clinical and laboratory findings demonstrated high efficacy of IMF administration in the pre-conception period and CBP during early pregnancy: PE incidence in group 1 was significantly lower by 5.7 times (RR (relative risk) 1.87 [1.46–2.41], RRR (RR reduction) 87.4% [45.8–140.9], ARR (absolute risk reduction) 42.5% [28.2–54.7], NPT (number of patients to treat) 2 [2–4], χ2 = 30.23, p < 0.001) than in group 4, whereas standard ASA administration reduced the incidence of PE by only 1.6 times (OR 1.39 [1.04–1.86], RRR 39.1% [4.2–85.6], ARR 19% [2.9–33.8], NPT 5 [3–35], χ2 = 4.59, p = 0.03). An important statistically significant difference in the incidence of severe PE was noted: in group 1 – no clinical case, in group 2 – 2.6%, in group 4 – 15.7% (χ2
1–4 = 11.06, p < 0.001; χ2 2–4 = 6.41, p2–4 = 0.01). The dynamics of laboratory patterns confirmed the pathogenetic rationale for a two-stage approach to PE prevention.
Conclusion. A new two-stage approach to PE prevention – the use of IMF in the pre-conception period and non-pharmacological CBP during pregnancy – is a highly effective, pathogenetically justified, promising and safe method that optimizes gestational outcomes and cardiometabolic “scenario” for mother and offspring.

Published: January 2025

This article discusses the factors that cause parental violence against children as well as community-based prevention efforts to protect children. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Research data was obtained by conducting interviews with 6 (six) research informants consisting of parents of perpetrators of violence, representatives of the Banten Province Child Protection Agency (LPA), psychologists, the community, and local community leaders. The Sociological Model of Child Abuse is used to analyze the causes of children becoming victims of parental violence. The community policing theory which includes 4 (four) variations, namely community policing, environmental security systems, surveillance, and citizen patrols is used to look at measures to prevent violence against children. The results of the research show that the determinants of children becoming victims of parental violence include the socio-economic status of the family, problems in marriage and household disorganization, as well as family size and the age range between children. In terms of community-based violence prevention, community efforts to protect children victims of parental violence in Tangerang have been carried out but strengthening efforts still need to be made to make them more effective. Therefore, this research also provides recommendations for action as a further prevention effort and treatment that also needs to be carried out for parents.

 
TINDAKAN SUKU DAYAK NGAJU TERHADAP HUTAN

The Ngaju Dayak tribe upholds ancestral traditions that are evident through attitudes of kinship and mutual cooperation. These traditions show customary ties that become moral rules that also regulate their relationship with the transcendent and that instruct Kaharingan people to belom Bahadat, which means good behavior or deeds, so that balance, harmony, and natural order will be maintained. The gap in this research is the need for social actions that arise to regulate balance, harmony, and the maintenance of natural order. This research used the qualitative research by producing narrative and descriptive data. Data sources came from interviews with Basir as well as books, journal articles, and party documents related to the issue of the Ngaju Dayak tribe's actions towards the forest. Four distinctive idealized forms of action are distinguished from some of these social actions, but certain actions appear to consist of a combination of these four idealized forms of action. Customary actions may reflect the beliefs of the Ngaju Dayak tribe. That is, plots contain value-based rationality and reflect a conscious choice of goals, including the goal of maintaining a balance between the Ngaju Dayak tribe and the forest in their utilization.

This study aims to examine the correlation between the level of stigma and efforts to normalize stigma by religious leaders who become perpetrators of sexual violence. The rise of sexual violence cases that has been difficult to reveal, because the perpetrators use the “mask religion” so as to trick the wider community. The object of this research is the phenomenon of sexual violence commited by unscrupulous religious leaders. This research uses a quantitative approach of cross-sectional survey type, which uses bivariate analysis. The study respondents totalled 100 people, who live arround religious areas such as Islamic boarding schools, mosques, churches, monasteries, and other religious environments. Based on the Pearson correlation test, the result is 0.001, which means that there is a significant correlation between the high level of stigma given by the community to individual religious leaders who become perpetrators of sexual violence that the high level of stigma also reduces the successful normalization efforts carried out by the perpetrators. The perpetrators of sexual violence failed to use “religious masks”, so they still received a negative stigma and this stigma was a form of social sanction against the perpetrators. Efforts to normalize stigma were not successful, as well as a form of negation of the attitude of victim blaming, namely blaming the victim, as has happened in many cases. Thus sexual violence perpetrated by evil religious leaders is a form of moral degradation.

This research on the perceptions of Islamic Religious College students in Jambi City towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) aims to see the extent of their perceptions (cognitive, affective and conative) and intentions towards LGBT at PTKI Jambi City. This research involved all PTKI students in Jambi City (13,237 students). The sample was determined using proportionate stratified random sampling (389 students). The research method uses a combination (mixed method research) with a sequential explanatory type strategy. Data collection techniques use questionnaires, interviews and documentation. The data analysis technique used is a mixed method technique. Quantitative analysis uses the mean formula followed by qualitative analysis. Influence analysis is seen by evaluating the model by examining the R Square value and analyzing the relationship between variables using the SEM-PLS bootstrapping method. The total mean perception value (3.046) shows that students reject LGBT behavior. Student perceptions have a strong influence on intentions to engage in LGBT as seen from the R Square value (82.4%) and significantly seen from the statistical T value and P values. Students' intention to break the LGBT chain is high (mean value 3.23). The interview results show that government outreach about the dangers of LGBT can be introduced early. Removing LGBT content on social media is also very important to do.
WANITA, DISIPLIN DAN KUASA TUBUH: KEPATUHAN TUBUH MELALUI DIET DALAM PERSPEKTIF FOUCAULDIAN

This research examines the discipline and power of the body that occurs in the bodies of women on diets. Women are often objectified in society because of their behaviors, obligations, social values, and even their bodies. As a result of this objectification, an idealized image of the female body emerges in society. This construction causes women to be dissatisfied with their bodies both biologically and aesthetically, which makes them feel inferior and compare themselves to the ideal body image. Women's desire to fulfill this image leads them to self-control, which can be achieved through dieting. Some popular diet methods are calorie deficit and intermittent fasting (IF), which are also practiced by many women who are followers of the X (Twitter) account @diethingy. This research uses the theory of discipline and power of the body introduced by Michel Foucault using qualitative research methods and a phenomenological study approach. The data collection techniques used were observation and interviews conducted online. This research uses a purposive sampling technique to determine informants—data checking and validity techniques using source triangulation. The results of this study show that not all women go through a complete disciplinary process, as Foucault conveys. Most of the women in this study feel they have power over themselves. However, in reality, this power is pseudo-power because the women are not completely free and are still bound by power relations in society.

Published: January 2025

Social movements are one of the civil society entities that play an essential role in triggering elite responses to fulfill their responsibilities for the welfare of citizens. We can call various collective activism carried out by these social movements as a contention. This research analyzes internal and external strategies in the dynamics of movement mobilization by the Koalisi Serius Revisi UU ITE, which can create contentious political episodes. Several previous researches in Indonesia have outlined the internal and external strategies that influence the success of a single movement. However, no one explained that movement collaboration is vital in creating sustainable conflict. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. This research chose five key informants by purposive sampling and did in-depth interviews, and supplemented with secondary data by documents and literature. The data obtained was elaborated using Sidney Tarrow's contentious politics perspective and resources mobilization by Edward, McCarthy, and Mataic. The first research finding is related to the importance of internal strategies with resource expansion, and external strategies with the management of threats and opportunities in the process of mobilizing social movements. The second finding shows that collaboration in social movement networks can strengthen the quality of collective contention and encourage the formation of contentious, sustainable political episodes.
