Authors: Khoe Tran Thanh , Thanh Phuong Nguyen
Published: December 2024

The development of a circular economy aimed at green growth is becoming an inevitable global trend in the context of increasingly depleted and degraded resources, environmental pollution, and severe climate change, issues affecting Vietnam. Particularly, as Vietnam integrates deeply into the global economy with 17 signed Free Trade Agreements, coupled with the advancement of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the imperative for sustainable development has become more urgent than ever. This necessitates concerted efforts from authorities and the community to foster economic development in parallel with environmental protection, aiming at green growth. This article focuses on examining the role and significance of circular economic development toward green growth while identifying this model as not only a trend but also an urgent requirement. Subsequently, the authors analyze the issues in depth and elucidate the shortcomings of implementing circular economic development toward green growth in Vietnam. The focal point of this article is reviewing circular economic models promoting green growth that have been successful in countries such as China, Japan, France, and Germany, which have achieved notable successes in transforming and developing a circular economy. Based on this analysis, we propose recommendations related to the strategies, policies, challenges, and benefits of a circular economy toward green growth. The effective application of this model will contribute to creating a sustainable future, protecting the environment, promoting economic development, and enhancing the quality of life for Vietnam in the current context.

INTRODUCTION: Nutritional status  of the patient is a key factor in determining the surgical outcomes of the patients. 
OBJECTIVES: In this study we aimed to identify the relationship between risk of malnutrition and surgical outcomes. Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) can be used to identify risk of malnutrition. The Clavien-dindo (CD) classification was used to report surgical complications. We also aimed to identify the relationship between factors such as age, sex and comorbidities with MUST, as well as the relationship between CD grade and site, indication, type and method of surgery.
METHOD: We conducted a cross-sectional prospective study over three months, between 16th february to 16th may of 2024. We chose 161 patients admitted for surgery under the department of Surgery in Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) using consecutive sampling, and collected data for MUST and CD grading in two phases. 
RESULTS: In the study sample, the risk of malnutrition was categorized to be low, medium and high in 75.2%, 11.8% and 13% respectively. No significant correlation was found between MUST category and age (p = 0.729), sex (p= 0.628) and comorbidities (p = 0.964). 55.3% participants had CD grade 1 and 36.6% had CD grade 2. Only 8% had more than CD grade 3. Significant correlation was found between indication and CD grade and indication (p = <0.001), type (p = <0.001) and method of surgery (p = 0.01) but not between site and CD grade (p = 0.091). A significant relationship was found between MUST category and CD grade. (p = 0.035).
CONCLUSION: Our study is consistent with numerous studies that record malnutrition to be an important factor in post-operative recovery, highlighting the importance of nutritional screening and optimization of nutritional status.

Published: November 2024

The quality and productivity in manufacturing technology are paramount for ensuring customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. Surface roughness, a key indicator of product quality, directly affects the degree of satisfaction in manufacturing outcomes. This study explores the optimization of process parameters in turning medium carbon alloy material using a lathe and coated carbide inserts. The research employed Taguchi’s design of experiment (DOE) methodology and regression analysis to enhance the surface finish under dry cutting conditions. Four distinct types of coated carbide inserts with nose radii of 0.4 mm, 0.8 mm,1.2 and 1.4 mm were tested. The experiments were structured based on an L16 standard orthogonal array design to systematically vary and analyse the impact of four process parameters: cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and nose radius. The “smaller-the-better” approach was chosen as the objective criterion for surface roughness minimization.

This research examines the implementation and measurement of temperature in drying coffee beansusing a fuzzy logic approach. Two main methods, namely the Mamdani Method and the SugenoMethod, were applied and evaluated in this context. Data on temperature, humidity, and water contentof coffee beans are collected during the drying process for use in the implementation of both methods.Implementation is carried out using MATLAB software, with detailed steps for each method. TheMamdani method involves fuzzification processes, inference using fuzzy rules, and defuzzification toobtain concrete values for temperature settings. Meanwhile, the Sugeno Method also involvesfuzzification of input data, but uses a linear fuzzy model for inference, so it does not require adefuzzification stage. The results and discussion of this study highlight the performance differencesbetween the two methods. Evaluation is carried out based on temperature prediction accuracy andenergy efficiency. The Mamdani Method shows good accuracy in predicting temperature, while theSugeno Method highlights efficiency and efficiency in the temperature regulation process. Therefore,this study provides valuable insight into selecting a suitable method for temperature regulation ofcoffee bean dryers
Assessment of the Investigative Objectivity in the Execution of Detention Authority under the Principle of Unity of Command in the Indonesian Military Criminal Justice System
Authors: Sulistiani Lies , Rusmiati Elis , Prasetyoandi Destri
Published: November 2024

The Indonesian National Army (TNI), as the Armed Forces in the country, operates under specific regulations to enforce military law, primarily governed by Law Number 31 of 1997 concerning Military Justice. According to Article 1 of the law, the responsibility for conducting investigations falls to Military Police Investigators, alongside Military Prosecutors and Superiors who have the right to punish suspects. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the authority of Military Police Investigators within the investigativeprocess, with a specific focus on their power to detain suspects. Under the current provision, Military Police Investigators lacked the independent authority to detain, which might compromise the objectivity of investigations. A normative juridical method was adopted based on a literature review and secondary data. The results showed that Military Police Investigators did not have the authority to detain suspects without an order from a Superior who has the right to punish, as stipulated in Law Number 31 of 1997 concerning Military Justice. For the investigation to run more objectively, Military Police Investigators needed to be granted the authority to detain suspects independently, without requiring prior authorization from a superior.
Quality Assurance of a "Booster Program" for Gender Equity in the Academia: From Vision to Practice
Authors: Bitton Yifat , Zamir Sara
Published: December 2024

Even as the 21st century unfolds, it is well recognized that women in the academic world struggle more to secure research funding and are still largely underrepresented at the level of full professorship, the highest post possible within universities and colleges. To rectify this gender-based inequality, a mid-sized academic college initiated an original program named "Booster" aiming for it to provide the optimal framework for creating a nurturing space for the promotion of prominent female faculty members, mainly to the high rank of "professor." The aim of this research was to find whether the booster plan has fulfilled its rectifying objectives according to the quality assurance model of the Plan - Do - Check - Action (PDCA) cycle. As a research method, an evaluation study was selected to examine the operation of the program, mainly from the perspective of the participants. The evaluation of the program was combined with both quantitative and qualitative assessments. The main finding indicated that the participants in the program had reported a high-level satisfaction. It was also found that the vast majority of the participants mentioned their understanding of promotion procedures as the most important tool they acquired in the program. The main importance of this study is in adding knowledge about ways to identify the "blind spots" and weaknesses of academia that shape the unjust "leaky pipeline" structure in gender contexts, from the stage in which women enter academia, through their tenure- ship track as faculty, to the processes of promotion up the ranks.

Published: November 2024

Aquaculture wastewater has become a growing concern, containing high concentrations of nitrogenous compounds, organic matter, and suspended solids, which, if untreated, can disrupt aquatic ecosystems and hinder the long-term viability of farming operations. This study evaluates the performance of an integrated ozonation-filtration system implemented at an aquaculture facility in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province. Under optimal conditions, the system achieved NH3-N and COD removal efficiencies of 87.4% and 79.2%, respectively, with turbidity consistently reduced by over 90%. Reaction kinetics followed a pseudo-first-order model, with a peak rate constant of 0.120 min-1 at an ozone dosage of 15 mg/L, emphasizing the importance of precise ozone control for efficient pollutant removal. Long-term trials over 50 weeks demonstrated the system’s operational stability, maintaining pollutant removal efficiencies with minimal seasonal variation. Dissolved ozone concentrations remained below the safety threshold of 0.01 mg/L, ensuring compliance with environmental standards. The study also identified a flow rate of 5 L/min as optimal, achieving 93% turbidity removal at an energy consumption of 0.208 kWh/m3, balancing treatment efficiency with energy use. In addition to its technical performance, the system offers significant economic and environmental benefits. With an operational cost of $0.12/m3 and a 70% reduction in freshwater demand, it provides a practical and sustainable solution for aquaculture wastewater management. These results demonstrate the potential for scaling this technology to address broader wastewater treatment needs, supporting sustainable aquaculture practices and environmental protection.

Through the Governance Network, the government has a great possibility to reach problems more closely by utilizing the advantages of the network and developing innovative ideas to overcome public problems and improve the quality of services and public policies. One of the problems is the food security policy. This study uses the concept of Social Network Theory (Klijn & Koppenjan) which looks at the structure in the policy implementation network, namely the aspects of contact, trust, information sharing, and resource exchange as well as how to coordinate between actors in the food security policy implementation network in West Papua Province. The results of the study show that the relationship and participation of actors in the network have not run optimally. This can be seen from the structure in the network which includes trust, information sharing, and resource exchange has not been optimal. Meanwhile, contact from the structure in the network has been carried out well, with the formation of policy tools. Coordination in the food security policy implementation network uses the type of mutual adjustment coordination. The implementation of the Food Security Policy in the Perspective of the Governance Network has not been effective.

Published: November 2024

The implementation of the 2013 Curriculum (K-13) in elementary schools (SD) has brought significant changes to teachers' administrative activities, especially in filling out student report cards, which are now more complex compared to the previous curriculum. To facilitate the process of entering report card grades, teachers were provided with a report card application based on Microsoft Excel. However, at SDN 105 Kendari, most teachers encountered difficulties using the application due to limited technological knowledge, resulting in the report card process often being assisted by the school operator. To address this issue, the Faculty of Information Technology at Universitas Sembilanbelas November Kolaka organized training on the use of the K-13 report card application based on Microsoft Excel for the teachers at SDN 105 Kendari. The training was conducted in person, actively involving participants in each stage. The training covered an introduction to basic Microsoft Excel formulas and detailed use of the K-13 report card application. The results showed that the program ran smoothly and received positive feedback from the participants. It is hoped that the teachers will become more independent and efficient in filling out student report cards.

Published: November 2024

The focus of this study is "Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage from the Point of View of the Canonical Law of the Catholic Church and Its Contribution to Pastoral Work in the Parish of St. Mark Melak Archdiocese of Samarinda”. Because marriage is a very important matter, the Church, state, and traditional institutions regulate it respectively. The Catholic Church regulates it in the Code of Canon Law, specifically Canons 1055-1165. Catholic marriage is always reviewed from natural, ecclesiastical, and civil law. Natural Law applies to everyone without exception, including those from other religions or other cultures. This study aims to explain the basic reasons why the Catholic Church does not confirm marriages from other churches which are still bound by previous marriages with Catholics who do not experience legal obstacles. The method used is phenomenology and literature. This study found that natural law is the basic reason for those who are still previously married not getting married. Second, the marriage of the baptized is considered as a sacrament by canon law.
Understanding God as the Source of Justice (An Analysis of the Context of Nahum 1:1-8)
Authors: Jakarias
Published: November 2024

The focus of this paper is the analysis of the context of the book of Nahum 1:1-8, with the aim of exploring the understanding of the historical, social, and theological background that influenced the writing and message of this book. Which text Nahum 1:1-8 is one of the texts in the Old Testament that prophesies about Nineveh. The analytical method used is a literature study by exploring the Cultural and Social Context of the text, so that readers can understand how Assyrian culture and society play a role in the narrative and how that culture influences their depiction in the book, so that it will appear on the surface that the social impact that occurred in the city of Nineveh was that the city was identified as going to fall. Finally, this analysis finds how this book reflects the views of Israelite society about power and destruction. The relevance of this writing provides insight into the historical and social context of that time, especially regarding the cruelty of the Assyrian empire and the feelings of the oppressed people. This is intended to invite the wise reader to find God in every event in life, especially in times of trouble. Because God pays attention to those who sincerely seek and believe in Him. Readers can learn from the Israelites, how they realized that God is the basis of hope, the guarantor in various difficulties, especially when experiencing injustice.

Perdagangan Manusia Menurut Teologi Tubuh dan Seksualitas Dalam Perspektif Yohanes Paulus II
Authors: Valdo Fabrisio Olie , Haryadi Dominikus Setio , Nugroho Ambrosius Gerin , Letsoin Yetva Softiming
Published: November 2024

Tulisan ini berisi tentang pandangan Paus Yohanes Paulus II tentang teologi tubuh dan seksualitas. Paus Yohanes Paulus II bermaksudenunjukkan bahwa tubuh manusia adalah cara Allah menyingkapkan diri-Nya. Allah yang transenden, yang tidak kelihatan, yang tak mampu terlihat dengan indera penglihatan manusia, mampu dikenal oleh manusia, ciptaan-Nya, melalui tubuh manusia. Tubuh lebih dari sekadar tubuh yang nampak secara fisik, apa yang nampak secara lahiriah, yang mampu tercerap secara inderawi,  tubuh itu juga mampu untuk menunjukkan realitas yang melampaui dimensi lahiriah semata. Tubuh mampu untuk membuat terlihat apa yang tak terlihat; yang rohani dan yang ilahi. Teologi Tubuh menurut Yohanes Paulus II bertujuan untuk mentransfer ke dalam realitas dunia, suatu penafsiran yang mendasar mengenai makna mendasar dari tubuh manusia. Persoalan mengenai perdagangan manusia (Human Trafficking) yang terjadi dewasa ini sama sekali tidak menunjukkan penghargaan terhadap tubuh manusia sebagai ciptaan Tuhan. Perdagangan manusia adalah sebuah perendahan dari martabat luhur tubuh manusia dilihat dari pandangan teologi tubuh Yohanes Paulus II.
The Historical Development and Role of Turkology Centers in the Central Balkans and Their Impact on Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language
Authors:   International Balkan University, Skopje, North Macedonia, Kurt Ozlem
Published: December 2024

Turkish has always been a matter of curiosity and need outside the
borders of the Republic of Turkey. Turkology, which investigates Turk-
ishness, the Turkish language and dialects, as well as Turkish culture,
civilization, and history, started to develop as a discipline in 19th-century
Europe before quickly gaining prevalence. The study of Turkish as a
scientific language in the Balkan geography started after the Ottoman
Empire had withdrawn from these lands. The first Turkology center in
the Balkan geography was established at the University of Belgrade,
and the primary purpose behind its establishment was the Serbs’ need
to know Turkish to be able to understand their own language and cul-
ture. After Belgrade, Turkology centers were opened in other Balkan
cities such as Sarajevo and Skopje, and various studies were also being
carried out. This study aims to reveal the establishment and historical
development of Turkology as a branch of science in the central Balkan
countries. Alongside the Turkology centers, the study also discusses the
history of teaching Turkish as a foreign language (TTFL) in this region
by using qualitative research methods. Based on the obtained data, two
main reasons are seen to have emerged for Turkology studies to begin
in central Balkan countries. The first has been concluded as the need
for the Turkish language to carry out more detailed studies on their
language and culture. The second is the presence of the indigenous
Turkish people living in North Macedonia and Kosovo.
Building And Maintaining Customer Loyalty
Authors:   International Balkan University, Skopje, North Macedonia, Dimitrieska Savica
Published: December 2024

The topic of consumer loyalty has been explored by several authors in
the marketing literature. Customer loyalty represents an emotional,
positive, long-term relationship between a satisfied customer and the
company. The importance of this topic stems from the fact that retaining
existing (loyal) consumers is more cost-effective than acquiring new ones.
Loyal customers ensure the survival, functioning, and profitability of the
company. However, retaining existing customers is a complex challenge
that requires a lot of effort on the part of the company. There are a lot
of measures to retain loyal customers, including the implementation
of loyalty rewards programs, personalized marketing, subscription
services, exclusive deals for repeated customers, referral programs,
bundle offers, engagement through social media, gamification, event
marketing, exceptional service support, etc.
This paper aims, with the help of secondary data, to sublimate the the-
oretical viewpoints on customer loyalty, on its building, measurement,
maintenance, as well as to note some of its future trends.

Authors:   International Balkan University, Skopje, North Macedonia, Dzigal Sead
Published: December 2024

In the digital age, online media has become a key platform for public
political communication, reshaping the landscape of political discourse
and social engagement. This paper proposes a typology framework to
classify various forms of online media and elaborate on their distinct
roles and functions in political communication. Using interdisciplinary
research perspectives from media studies, political science, and communi-
cation theory, the typology categorizes online media into distinct types,
explaining how they determine communication in the political sphere.
Furthermore, the paper examines how different types of online media
are utilized by political actors, interest groups, and citizens to dissemi-
nate information, mobilize political support, shape public opinion, and
improve civic engagement. The scope of the research includes a review of
existing case studies on online media in North Macedonia and Western
Balkans, combined with empirical analysis of prominent platforms across
different types and demographics. Cultural and linguistic biases may
influence the interpretation of findings, particularly in cross-cultural
analyses. By mapping out the diverse ecosystem of online media and
their different uses in public political communication, this typology
contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between
technology, media, and politics in the digital era. A sample analysis will
be presented, illustrating the application of the typological framework
to a selection of popular online media platforms

Introduction: Cervicalgia is a condition that affects a large part of the population and can cause functional limitations and postural changes, compromising quality of life and professional performance, especially in dentists, who have a high prevalence due to improper postures and repetitive efforts in their profession. However, there is a lack of recent studies on the subject, emphasizing the need for more research. Objective: The aim of this study is to compile data from available publications, analyzing the profile of affected professionals, particularly regarding gender and age. Additionally, it seeks to investigate the prevalence, associated occupational factors, and repercussions of cervicalgia in dentists, highlighting the need for preventive actions focused on occupational health and promoting ergonomics as an essential strategy to minimize the impact of musculoskeletal disorders in this profession. Materials and Methods: This study is a literature review that analyzed articles from the past five years on the prevalence of cervicalgia in dentists, excluding studies involving students, reviews, or those without an occupational focus. The results were presented in a flowchart. Results: A total of 336 studies were analyzed, of which 329 were excluded due to publication time or study type criteria, resulting in five articles selected for review of the prevalence of cervicalgia and musculoskeletal disorders in dentists. Cervicalgia was the most common complaint, with a prevalence of up to 73%, particularly among females. Conclusion: The review revealed that dentists, especially women and individuals over 30 years old, exhibit a high prevalence of cervicalgia associated with occupational factors. The results highlight the importance of adopting preventive measures, such as ergonomic practices, to reduce the impact of musculoskeletal disorders in this profession.

Since concrete is the most widely used material in the world today, there is always a need to improve its resistance capabilities. Considering compressive strength as the main property of this material, several factors can influence this characteristic, including the different types of aggregates used in its production. This research aims to analyze the influence of coarse aggregate on the compressive strength of concrete. For this purpose, axial compression tests Were performed on test specimens produced from different types of concrete. Two types of aggregates of the same mineralogical origin but with different granulometries were chosen, these aggregates being basalt boulders with 19 and 12 millimeters. The types of concrete in the study were made using the same mass measurements, but with different coarse aggregates, and the same curing time. The analysis of the tests found that there is an influence on resistance due to the difficulty of compaction and greater presence of voids when the concrete is made with larger aggregates, and that when the concrete is produced with smaller aggregates, it presents better resistance due to greater fluidity and better compaction of the material, generating fewer voids. The analysis produced in this research seeks to contribute to the advancement of technology in concrete production, so that the resistive capacity and durability of this material can be further improved.

A psoríase é uma doença inflamatória crônica imunomediada que afeta a pele e as articulações, causando um impacto significativo na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Ela é multifacetada, com repercussões além das manifestações cutâneas, afetando a saúde física e mental. Este artigo é uma revisão integrativa da literatura que visa analisar de forma sistemática o conhecimento disponível sobre a psoríase, com ênfase na epidemiologia, fisiopatologia, manifestações clínicas, diagnóstico e tratamento. A busca foi realizada nas bases de dados SciELO, LILACS, Google Acadêmico e BVS Saúde, utilizando descritores como "psoríase", "epidemiologia", "fisiopatologia", "diagnóstico" e "tratamento". Foram selecionados 10 artigos publicados entre 2019 e 2024 que atendiam aos critérios de relevância para o estudo. A análise foi descritiva, destacando os avanços recentes sobre o tema. Os estudos ressaltam a complexidade da psoríase, não apenas como uma condição inflamatória da pele, mas também com implicações imunológicas e sistêmicas. Conclui-se que é fundamental continuar investindo em pesquisas para aprimorar o diagnóstico e os tratamentos, visando melhorar a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

Blood Transfusions and Elevated Serum Phosphatidylethanol: Implications for Liver Transplant Eligibility: A Case Report
Authors: Short Trevor , Wu Olivia , Chu Gary
Published: November 2024

Background: Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) is a specific biomarker for alcohol consumption that reflects intake over weeks rather than days, making it valuable for assessing long-term abstinence and liver transplant eligibility in patients with alcoholic liver disease. However, since PEth is found on red blood cells, blood transfusions can lead to falsely elevated levels. Case Presentation: A middle-aged patient had PEth levels of <10 ng/mL a few days prior to a hospital admission, indicating alcohol abstinence. To protect the patient’s identity, demographic details were anonymized. During hospitalization, the patient received one unit of packed red blood cells. A few weeks later, testing revealed a mildly elevated PEth level of 25 ng/mL, suggesting alcohol use. Consequently, the patient was dismissed from the transplant clinic and required to restart the liver transplant process due to the elevated PEth level. Conclusion: This case underscores the challenges of monitoring alcohol abstinence for liver transplant eligibility, particularly when elevated PEth levels may result from blood transfusions or unintentional alcohol exposure. Additional biomarker testing during transfusions could help clarify the source of PEth elevation, ensuring fair and accurate decision-making.
