Published: February 2025

Introduction/Main Objectives: Education serves as a driving force for the transformation of society to break the cycle of poverty. This study examines the relationship between average years of schooling and per capita household expenditure in Kalimantan Tengah Province in 2020. Background Problems: The method of estimating a regression model that is assumed to follow a certain form of regression equation such as linear, quadratic and others is called parametric regression. However, researchers often encounter difficulties in determining the model specification through data distribution, so the method used is nonparametric regression. Novelty: This research uses a quantile-based approach to explore how the impact of education on per capita expenditure varies across different levels of household education. This provides a more nuanced understanding of the relationship, showing not just whether education matters, but how its influence changes at different levels of educational attainment. Research Methods: The relationship between average years of schooling and per capita household expenditure is modeled using a quantile regression model with the constrained B-Splines method. Finding/Results: Based on the established classification, it can be concluded that an increase in the average years of schooling among household members tends to have a greater impact on raising per capita expenditure.

Published: February 2025

Introduction/Main Objectives: This study aims to estimate Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita at the sub-district level. Background Problems: Currently, GRDP per capita is calculated only at the district level by BPS. Novelty: This study estimates GRDP per capita at the sub-district level using a model developed at the district level, applying machine learning and linear regression methods. Research Methods: The model was constructed using geospatial data sourced from satellite imagery, OpenStreetMap, (Village Potential Statistics) PODES, directories of large mining companies, and directories of the manufacturing industry at the district level. Linear regression and machine learning methods, including neural networks, random forest regression, and support vector regression, were used to develop the model. The research focuses on three provinces: Bali, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Findings/Results: The best-performing model was support vector regression, with MAE and MAPE evaluations of 10.33 million and 26.11%, respectively. The results indicate that sub-districts with high GRDP per capita are typically urban areas that serve as economic hubs. The Williamson Index results show that districts in the eastern region have higher inequality levels compared to those in the western region.

Authors: Dove Georgina , Craig Adam , Harris-Roxas Ben , Kelly-Hanku Angela
Published: February 2025

Background: Public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the health sector are established to achieve health outcomes by maximising the combined resources of both public and private sectors. Good governance is core to PPP function and success. This paper explores the factors that enable and constrain governance in the delivery of PPPs for primary health care in low-and lower-middleincome countries (LMICs). Methods: A systematic search of four literature databases was conducted to identify peer reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2023 related to the governance of PPPs for primary health care in LMICs. A deductive analysis of data extracted from selected articles against the domains of Greer’s TAPIC governance framework was conducted to identify commonly reported enabling and constraining factors. Results: Of the 4,290 records screened, 14 were included. Common enabling factors for governance within each domain of the framework were found: Transparency: unequal and topdown resource allocation, and opaque and resource allocation was a barrier to PPP governance; Accountability and policy Capacity: monitoring and evaluation; Participation: partner engagement, covering topics of developing and managing relationships, collaborative activities, and communication; and Integrity: the design of the PPP, covering formal agreements between partners, level of policy direction, and integration within the broader health system. Conclusion: The five domains of the TAPIC governance framework provide guidance for considering governance in PPPs. The enabling factors identified in the review help facilitate the successful implementation of a PPP and thus influence the PPP’s impact on health outcomes, through establishing and maintaining healthy working relationships between partners, and defining and documenting systems and processes.
Features of Remote Patient Monitoring Systems That Implement Integrated Care: A Perspective Aligned with Current Challenges for Digital Health Technologies; Comment on "Towards A Framework for Implementing Remote Patient Monitoring From an Integrated Care Perspective: A Scoping Review"
Authors: Londral Ana
Published: February 2025

This commentary elaborates on the model proposed by Miranda et al. for implementing Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) from an integrated care perspective. It stresses the complexity of RPM deployment as a digital health technology (DHT) and discusses essential features that developers and procurement managers should take into consideration in RPM systems to facilitate the implementation of integrated care practices. Furthermore, three major challenges for DHT implementation that align with the the proposed RPM-based integrated care model are discussed: (1) the success of DHT in implementing a healthcare strategy requires elements of service innovation that align to the context of care delivery; (2) evidence generation methods influence the adoption of DHT and need an evolutive and multistakeholder perspective. (3) governance and policy strategies are crucial since they profoundly influence digital health priorities, investments and resource allocation within organizations and healthcare systems.

Many low- and middle-income countries are designing or revising their health benefit packages (HBP), with appraisal—prioritizing services for reimbursement—being a critical phase. This occurs in a complex landscape of multiple criteria, multiple stakeholders, limited evidence, budget constraints, and tight timelines, varying across countries. Existing guidance documents do not fully address these complexities, requiring analysts to balance methodological rigor with practical constraints. This editorial highlights four key themes in organizing appraisal: decision-making structures, trade-offs between criteria, final recommendations, and the use of cost-effectiveness evidence, thresholds, and budgets. These emerged as central challenges in HBP revisions in Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Liberia, Pakistan, and Rwanda. We emphasize cross-country learning to address these challenges pragmatically, recognizing that high-quality, legitimate appraisal is as much an art as a science. More detailed documentation of appraisal processes is needed to refine HBP revision guidelines and strengthen priority-setting in health systems.
Reflections on Co-Production as a Mode of Knowledge Production; Comment on "Research Coproduction: An Underused Pathway to Impact"
Authors: Estabrooks Carole A.
Published: February 2025

Rycroft-Malone et al.’s editorial on research co-production highlights the potential of a coproduction mode of research to narrow the gap between knowledge production and use. This commentary critiques implicit assumptions within the argument and challenges the view that traditional (Mode 1) science bears the primary responsibility for delayed implementation and questions the inherent superiority of co-production. It also highlights the importance of political and policy considerations in considering research uptake. ‘Mode 3’ knowledge production (integrating Modes 1 and 2 discovery) offers a potentially more advanced framework that recognizes systems and organizational perspectives. A deeper, multi-layered exploration of the influence of socio-political and policy contexts is needed to understand the full potential of co-production on knowledge utilization.

Via Löwner theories, by Becker's and Betker's conditions on Herglotz function which give sufficient conditions for univalent functions admitting $k$-quasiconformal extension to the complex plane, we define two subclasses denoted by $S_{k}^{B}$ and $S_{k}^{BT}$. Then we solve the Fekete-Szegö problem on these two subclasses.
Morphogenetic diagnostics of dry subtropical zone soils of Azerbaijan and effect of grape plant on change of fertility parameters
Authors:   Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry of ANAS, Baku, Republic of Azerbaijan, Mamedov Mammed Isa ogly
Published: February 2025

There have been large changes in the field of morphogenetic diagnostic indicators of irrigated gray-brown (chestnut) and mountain-brown soils used under the vineyard. Watering, as well as growing a vineyard on the slopes of the plains of the Ganja-Kazakh zone, contributed to an increase in density and a decrease in the number of water-resistant aggregates of irrigated gray-brown (chestnut) soil. In Nagorno-Shirvan, the changes consisted mainly in an increase in humus, nitrogen, and water-building aggregates of mountain brown soil. Here, the fertility rates of the soil used under the vineyard were significantly higher compared to those of the soil used under winter crops. The main reason for this was the periodic use of organic, mineral fertilizers under the vineyard and the behavior of cultivation work. The amount of total humus in the plow layer 0…40 cm of these soils was respectively – 2,62…3,02%, absorbed ammonia – 17,8…22,3 mg/kg, nitrate nitrogen – 5,9…10,20 mg/kg, active phosphorus – 20,3…22,4 mg/kg, exchangeable potassium was 322,1…300,6 mg/kg.
Soil erosion as a factor influencing agricultural productivity
Authors:   Pushchino branch of the federal state budgetary educational institution of higher education «Russian Biotechnological University (ROSBIOTECH)», Pushchino, Russia, CHikalova Lyudmila Stepanovna
Published: February 2025

The article discusses the factors affecting the yield of agricultural products grown in open ground. One such factor is soil erosion. It is noted that soil erosion includes the removal, transfer and deposition of soil mass outside the destruction site. Erosion occurs under the influence of climatic conditions and a number of other factors. According to various sources, the shortage of crops on arable land reaches 36%, on other lands – up to 47%. In this case, the damage can reach several rubles from 1 hectare. When evaluating the functioning of open systems, they rely on the presence of an internal and external environment in these systems. At the same time, there are factors that can be regulated by management actions, such as factors of the internal environment and a number of environmental factors. The main methodological approach in economic models for calculating the risk of erosion in agriculture at present is a direct calculation of the sum of the environmental and economic damage of all the consequences of erosion that have arisen both in the zone of its development and beyond, if the consequences have external effects.

The purpose of this work was a retrospective analysis of the technical condition of reclamation systems of federal property in the Republic of Dagestan according to the information monitoring system. In the article, based on the data of passports and technical and operational maps of irrigation and drainage systems, a retrospective set of data on the distribution of types of agricultural land and the technical condition of 52 irrigation systems was formed. The general analysis includes 395,6 thousand hectares of serviced area and more than 4.5 thousand reclamation facilities. One of the main problems is the deterioration of reclamation networks. As a result, 237 thousand hectares require repair of the irrigation network. In addition, there are combinations of various problem situations, as a result, there is a need to carry out not separate types of measures, but a set of capital works to increase the technical level of irrigation systems. Such situations are observed on an area of 212,9 thousand hectares. Using regression analysis, empirical relationships were obtained to make a forecast of the dynamics of the technical condition of the operated objects.

Authors:   Azerbaijan state agrarian university, Ganja, Republic of Azerbaijan, Mirsalaкhova Lamiya Mirnaib
Published: February 2025

It is noted that serious tensions arose in the water balance of the Republic of Azerbaijan due to the aridization of the climate. According to calculations, while maintaining the trend for climate aridization, the available water resources of Azerbaijan may decrease by more than 40 % until 2050, and by 2100 it is expected to reduce the existing water resources in Azerbaijan to 9.5...11.5 billion m3. At the same time, today in the Republic of Azerbaijan, about 70 % of all water consumed is sent to agriculture, from which about 30...40% is lost during transportation for infiltration and evaporation. Therefore, research on the development and implementation of water-saving irrigation technologies is relevant. The purpose of this work was to describe the technology of fertigation-injection irrigation to save irrigation water and its effective use in agriculture in irrigation. The article discusses the results of experimental tests of the fertigation-injection irrigation system on gray-brown (chestnut) soils in the Ganja-Gazakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan. A diagram of improved devices for fertigation-injection irrigation is provided. Important advantages of the developed technology are noted. There is no need to use a filter, and the cost of building and operating the system is reduced. There is no need for an additional fertilizer mixing tank and a device for feeding fertilizer solution into the system.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the technological processes of operation of water reclamation systems as a single production and technological complex based on the landscape and ecological approach. It is noted that a high and stable level of agricultural production can be ensured only on the basis of the development of agricultural land reclamation, which requires construction, reconstruction and technical re-equipment of water reclamation systems, on the basis of re-development of innovative technologies and technological equipment. The operational data of reclamation systems and hydraulic structures of federal property for the period 1985–2020 are analyzed in the article. It was established that about 34.3 thousand objects and structures of reclamation purpose are located in the federal property of the Russian Federation. The level of depreciation of fixed assets in the reclamation complex exceeds 73 % as a whole in the Russian Federation. The dynamics of changes in the area of reclaimed lands and agricultural lands is given in the article. It is noted that further qualitative changes in improving the effectiveness of reclamation measures should be implemented by increasing the technical level of systems and planning a set of measures for reconstruction, repair and maintenance work and the rational use of water, energy and labor resources.

The purpose of this study is to study and analyze the amount of payment for water supply to reclamation systems in different countries, depending on the methods of determining the payment. As a result of the analysis, it can be noted that in a number of countries, within the framework of measures to regulate water scarcity, different methods of forming tariffs have been introduced, while in the same country different methods of tariffication may operate in different conditions, but the volumetric method of setting a tariff for irrigation is the most common. For the volumetric method, water charges range from US $ 0,00043 per 1 m3 in Kyrgyzstan to US $ 0.62 per 1 m3 in Australia. For the fixed method, the price per 1 hectare in irrigated land season ranges from $1.408 in Paki Stan to $538 in the United States.

Published: February 2025

Abstract: Several implant materials for cranioplasty have been studied, including autologous bone, titanium mesh, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Titanium mesh is believed to have excellent biocompatibility, low cost, and satisfactory cosmetic effects, especially in three-dimensional (3D) custom-made meshes. We reported a 54-year-old man complaining of open wound in his left temporoparietal region since a month. Blood tests showed leukocytosis. Patient was diagnosed as scalp infection with previous cranioplasty using bone cement on temporoparietal region. The patient underwent scalp reconstruction with skin flap, removing skin defect, and split thickness skin graft (STSG) from left thigh. Patient was provided with outpatient medication consisting of analgesics and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Follow-up assessment 14 days after surgery did not reveal any secondary infections on titanium mesh implant and skin flap. The main complications of cranioplasty, in addition to the studied aesthetic results, are represented by the risk of infection, postoperative hematoma, impaired wound healing, as well as prolonged failure due to transplant absorption or infection, as a result of which the prosthesis needs to be removed. In conclusion, titanium mesh is still a better choice of material for cranioplasty in many factors such as price, accessibility, infection rate, and biocompatibility

Authors: Tengku Reza Suka Alaqsa  , Zulfatri Aini  , Liliana  , Nanda Putri Miefthawati
Published: February 2025

Electricity production in Riau Province fluctuates between surplus and deficit, as reported by the Central Statistics Agency. From a peak of 3,758.75 GWh in 2017, production fell to 525.19 GWh in 2019, mainly due to lack of investment in new power plants and dependence on external electricity supply. This study addresses these challenges by using the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Feed Forward Backpropagation method to forecast electricity demand from 2024 to 2027. This study aims to analyze the accuracy of the prediction through the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), evaluate electricity consumption projections, and calculate the annual growth rate. The gap in this study is the inclusion of previously ignored variables, namely the GRDP of Government Buildings and the number of Government Building customers. The methodology used is Artificial Neural Network Feed Forward Backpropagation. In the training data training, the MAPE was obtained at 4,315%. The electricity consumption prediction obtained is 8,679 GWh in 2024, 9,690 GWh in 2025, 10,959 GWh in 2026, and 12,681 GWh in 2027. The growth rate is also projected to increase, namely 5.67% from 2023 to 2024, 11.65% from 2024 to 2025, 13.10% from 2025 to 2026, and 15.71% from 2026 to 2027.
Examining the Influence of e-Health Literacy on Healthcare Workers’ Acceptance of Electronic Medical Records: An Insight Into System Transition
Authors: Noeryosan Ilham , Arini Merita , Binti Wan Mamat Wan Hasliza
Published: February 2025

Following the aftermath of COVID-19, needs of digitalized medical data system has increased worldwide. As stated by Indonesia’s Ministry of Health, electronic medical records (EMRs) usage are being mandated initially by December 2023. However, in some healthcare facilities, this transition are being halted by inadequate digital literacy. This research aimed to understand the impact of e-Health Literacy of healthcare personnel on technology acceptance and their intention to use EMRs.  The cross-sectional study was conducted in March 2024 following six months of EMR implementation in Dr. Soetarto Army Hospital, using a valid and reliable questionnaire consisting of 51 items originating from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and e-Health Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ) that was modified into 46 items. The data was collected from 114 healthcare personnel who act as both caregiver and medical data documenter (total sampling). The result was then analyzed using Smart-PLS. There is an increased intention of EMR usage when e-health literacy moderated user's technology acceptance (p=0.006), while by itself, technology acceptance doesn't have a meaningful impact towards intention to use EMR (p=0.391). Increased e-Health Literacy has also proven to be correlated with increased intention of EMR use (p<0.001). Increasing user’s e-health literacy is essential to become a pivotal factor in increasing EMR adoption in healthcare personnel workflow. This study suggests integrating targeted e-health literacy programs into professional development to improve EMR usage and healthcare efficiency, with future studies exploring long-term.

The basis of this discussion is attempted to be more comprehensive by basing it on two things that are considered quite basic, namely: First, traced from the concepts of mosques in the perspective of classical books (kutub al-turats). This is attempted through content analysis of the scattered yellow book texts in various fiqh studies. Second, examined from the perspective of the socio-religious traditions of Indonesian society. From the perspective of terminological discussion (ishthilahi), the building used as a place for congregational prayer in the texts of the Qur'an, the Sunnah, and books of fiqh only knows the name "Mosque", whether it is used for Friday prayers or not, in large or small forms, and not "Langgar, Surau, Mushalla". The explanation of the Qur'an regarding the reward of those who are building a mosque (QS. al-Baqarah: 187). From a sociological perspective and the actualization of the narrative of the texts in the books can be found in the socio-religious reality of Arab society in the Middle East. In addition to the grand mosque, in the Arab Emirates there are many buildings resembling mosques that are used for congregational prayers, i'tikaf and other worship besides Friday prayers. For example, the Abi Bakar Mosque, and the Ali ibn Abi Thalib Mosque.
Although it seems controversial, the discourse that has developed among fiqh activists regarding the phenomenon of mosques and “Langgar, Surau, Mushalla” is divided into two. The first party is of the view that mosques and “Langgar, Surau, Mushalla” are not polarized in essence and function, even though their names are not the same. Meanwhile, the second party makes a dichotomous line between mosques and “Langgar, Surau, Mushalla”. For this party, a mosque is still a mosque, while “Langgar, Surau, Mushalla” is not a mosque. Two names for two different things and cannot be equated.
STUDI EPISTEMOLOGI HUKUM ISLAM DALAM KONTEKS FATWA MAJELIS ULAMA INDONESIA
Authors: Firdaus Syarif , Achmad Mukhsin
Published: February 2025

This study aims to explore the epistemological foundations underlying the fatwa (religious decree) formulation process by the  Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) and analyze the dynamics of Islamic legal epistemology in the Indonesian context. Using a qualitative method with a content analysis and hermeneutical approach, this study examines MUI's fatwas published in the last decade, with contemporary Islamic epistemology theory and the maqashid sharia approach as the analytical framework. The research findings show that MUI applies an eclectic epistemological approach, integrating the bayani, burhani, and irfani methods in the fatwa establishment process. There is a significant effort to contextualize Islamic law with the realities of Indonesian society, reflected in the use of the principles of maslahah (public interest) and 'urf (local customs). MUI's collective ijtihad (independent reasoning) practice enriches the epistemological basis of the fatwas, but also poses challenges in synchronizing various perspectives. The novelty of this research lies in the comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of Islamic legal epistemology in MUI's fatwas in the digital era, which has not been widely explored before. This study reveals the flexibility and adaptability of Islamic legal epistemology in addressing contemporary issues, while also identifying the methodological challenges faced. The research recommends the development of a more systematic and transparent epistemological framework in the fatwa formulation process. Further studies are suggested to explore the impact of MUI's fatwas on Indonesia's socio-political dynamics and analyze the role of digital technology in the transformation of religious authority.
Pendekatan Kaidah Fikih dalam Konteks Hukum Islam Kontemporer

The rules of fiqh are fundamental principles in Islamic law that provide guidance in resolving complex legal issues, especially in modern social, economic, and political contexts. This article examines the relevance of four main rules of fiqh, namely: (1) If halal and haram come together, then haram defeats halal; (2) If two mafsadat conflict, then the lesser harmful one is prioritized; (3) Policies towards the people must be based on the public interest; (4) The easy is not defeated by the difficult. This study attempts to analyze the application of these rules in a contemporary context through an analytical-descriptive approach to classical and modern literature. The results of the study show that these rules are not only universal, but also adaptive in facing the dynamics of the times. The first rule is relevant in the regulation of halal-haram in the halal industry and sharia economy. The second rule contributes to mafsadat mitigation policies on health issues and public law. The third rule provides a normative basis for policies based on public interest, such as the distribution of zakat and productive waqf. The fourth principle reflects the flexibility of sharia in the obligation of worship and muamalah. The novelty of this article lies in the integration of fiqh principles with specific case studies in the modern era and the offering of an applicative framework based on maqashid sharia that is in line with the sustainable development goals (SDGs). These findings are expected to contribute to the development of Islamic law that is relevant and responsive to global needs.

Sangat penting bagi umat Islam untuk membantu menyelesaikan masalah hukum yang mereka hadapi setiap hari. Jika mereka tidak tahu ke mana harus pergi, mereka tidak dapat mengetahui seberapa jauh sesuatu dapat dilakukan atau apa yang lebih penting untuk dilakukan atau ditinggalkan. Dalam bertindak atau berperilaku, mereka diikat dengan aturan dan nilai-nilai yang dianut, yang berasal dari ajaran agama dan kebiasaan baik. Penelitian ini termasuk dalam jenis penelitian normatif. Jenis penelitian ini adalah jenis penelitian yang menggunakan data dari studi kepustakaan, seperti buku, jurnal, dan sumber literatur lainnya, serta temuan penelitian sebelumnya yang terkait dengan topik penelitian.kaidah fiqh adalah suatu kaidah yang bersifat umum, meliputi sejumlah masalah fiqh, dan dapat diketahui hukum masalah fiqh yang termasuk dalam lingkupnya. kaidah fiqih ini bisa digunakan sebagai dalil mandiri dalam menetapkan hukum, apabila tidak ada dalil nash. Sejarah perkembangan qawaidhul Fiqhiyyah dibagi menjadi 3 masa yang diawali oleh Nabi Muhammad kemudian dilanjutkan oleh sahabat dan tabiin dengan dibuktikan adanya hadist jawamiul kalim. dan adanya 5 kaidah ini sebagai kaidah induk dan dijadikan patokan dalam menentukan fatwa. 5 kaidah tersebut meliputi: al Umuru bi Maqishidiha, al-Yaqinu La Yuzalu bi Syak, al-Masyaqqoh Tajlibu at-Taysir, ad-Dhororu Yuzalu, al-‘Adatu Muhakkamah.

Multimodal biometric systems have garnered significant interest from researchers owing to their applicability in security and access control. Despite the development of numerous score level fusion techniques for multimodal biometrics, most of them have concentrated solely on enhancing fusion accuracy, neglecting the potential advantages of various score level techniques. This research investigates the comparative performance of four different score level fusion approaches for multimodal recognition of combined face and fingerprints biometrics: Product rule, Weighted Sum rule, Simple Sum rule, and Max rule method. Five hundred and seventy (570) sample images from 190 students of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomoso, used in this study were acquired using CMITech camera for faces and digital personnel for fingerprints, respectively. The images consist of three (3) samples of each biometric trait. Three hundred and forty-two (342) images of these traits were used for training while two hundred and twenty-eight (228) images were used for testing. The acquired images were pre-processed using histogram equalization, features extraction was done using Principal Component Analysis. Euclidian distance and Manhattan distance was used for generating the matching score of face and fingerprint feature respectively while Min-max was used to normalize each score. The fused score of each technique was used for identification. The results obtained was evaluated using False Acceptance Rate (FAR), False Rejection Rate (FRR) and Recognition Accuracy (RA) and Recognition Time (RT). Experimental results revealed that the Weighted Sum Rule outperformed other techniques, achieving a FAR of 1.75%, FRR of 5.85%, RA of 95.18%, and RT of 56.12 seconds. Comparatively, the Product Rule, Simple Sum Rule, and Max Rule demonstrated lower performance metrics. This study underscores the efficacy of the Weighted Sum Rule as a superior score-level fusion technique for developing advanced multimodal biometric systems, particularly in applications requiring high security and reliability.
