Authors: Aini Rr. Aisa Farah , Ghifari Muhammad Humam Akbar , Khoirunnisa Ria
Published: September 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji pengaruh inflasi luar negeri, yang diwakili oleh inflasi Amerika Serikat dan harga minyak dunia, terhadap inflasi di Indonesia selama periode 1997-2022. Metode yang digunakan adalah Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) untuk menganalisis data time series secara kuartalan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa inflasi luar negeri tidak memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap inflasi di Indonesia. Selain itu, harga minyak dunia juga tidak menunjukkan dampak signifikan terhadap inflasi di Indonesia. Ini menunjukkan bahwa faktor eksternal seperti inflasi Amerika Serikat dan fluktuasi harga minyak dunia tidak secara langsung mempengaruhi tingkat inflasi domestik. Penelitian ini menyarankan bahwa kebijakan ekonomi Indonesia dapat lebih fokus pada faktor internal untuk mengendalikan inflasi secara efektif. Ketidakhadiran dampak signifikan dari inflasi luar negeri dan harga minyak dunia menyoroti ketahanan ekonomi Indonesia terhadap beberapa guncangan eksternal. Pembuat kebijakan harus memprioritaskan kondisi ekonomi domestik, mengingat bahwa faktor internal memainkan peran yang lebih kritis dalam mempengaruhi inflasi. Temuan ini memberikan wawasan berharga bagi pembuat kebijakan dalam merancang strategi efektif untuk menjaga stabilitas ekonomi domestik.

Androgenic alopecia was an inherited condition leading to gradual thinning and loss of hair on the crown and frontal scalp. Objective: To compare efficacy of PRP and topical minoxidil (5%) when used in addition to oral finasteride for treating androgenic alopecia. Methods: This quasi experimental study was conducted at Dermatology Department of Akhtar Saeed Medical and Dental College Rawalpindi from March 2023 to August 2023. Total 80 patients of both genders (40 in each group) aged 18 to 65 years diagnosed with androgenic alopecia. Participants were divided into two treatment groups: Group A received monthly PRP injections oral finasteride and 1 mg daily, while Group B applied topical minoxidil (5%) twice daily oral finasteride 1 mg daily. Efficacy was labeled as a statistically significant increase in mean hair density of at least 20 hair/cm² from pre-treatment to post-treatment using a trichometer. All participants had baseline demographic factors and clinical data. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 27.0. Results: The comparison of mean hair density between Group A (PRP and Finasteride) and Group B (Minoxidil and Finasteride) showed that Group A had a significantly higher mean hair density compared to Group B (101.6 ± 11.2 hair/cm² versus 87.0 ± 9.0 hair/cm², p < 0.001), indicating that the treatment in Group A was more effective. Conclusions: This study found that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as an addition to oral finasteride improves hair regrowth, density, and patient satisfaction more than PRP combined with topical minoxidil.

IMPLEMENTASI STATE MONOPOLY SEHUBUNGAN DENGAN PRIVATISASI ANAK USAHA BADAN USAHA MILIK NEGARA PADA SEKTOR MIGAS
Authors: Tiur Henny Monica
Published: September 2024

Praktik monopoli dilarang untuk mencegah persaingan usaha tidak sehat yang dapat merugikan kepentingan umum. Namun, terdapat pengecualian terhadap larangan monopoli, yaitu untuk monopoli oleh negara (state monopoly) atau monopoli berdasarkan hukum (monopoly by law), yang bertujuan untuk menjamin kepentingan umum dalam iklim persaingan usaha melalui badan usaha milik negara. State monopoly diterapkan pada cabang produksi penting yang memenuhi hajat hidup orang banyak untuk menghindari privatisasi dan komersialisasi yang berpotensi mengganggu kepentingan umum. Strategi untuk meloloskan privatisasi pada akhirnya dapat memprivatisasi seluruh kegiatan industri migas nasional dari hulu ke hilir yang menurut Konstitusi seharusnya dikuasai oleh negara. Penulis melihat adanya inkonsistensi dalam penegakan hukum, khususnya oleh Majelis Hakim di Mahkamah Konstitusi. Di satu sisi, mereka menegaskan bahwa sektor migas wajib dikuasai oleh negara sesuai Konstitusi, namun di sisi lain, mereka bersembunyi di balik prinsip-prinsip perseroan terbatas, seolah-olah perusahaan tersebut tidak menjalankan kegiatan usaha yang berkaitan langsung dengan hajat hidup orang banyak.

Published: September 2024

Akademik araştırmalar hastanelerin mekânsal düzenlemelerinin sağlık çalışanlarının iş verimliliği üzerinde son derece etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Hastaneler, birbiri ile ilişkili olan farklı birimleri bünyesinde barındıran karmaşık fonksiyonlu yapılardır. Ancak hastane yapılarının en önemli kullanıcı gruplarından biri olan sağlık çalışanlarının planlama ve tasarım sürecinde yeteri kadar yer almamaları, hem iş gücü performansı, hem de çalışma motivasyonları üzerinde olumsuz etkilerin oluşmasına neden olabilmektedir. Dolayısıyla hastane tasarımında mimari mekân kalitesinin sağlık çalışanlarının memnuniyeti bağlamında ele alınması sağlıklı çalışma ortamlarının oluşturulması açısından önemli olmaktadır. Bu nedenle İstanbul’da yer alan iki hastanede görev yapan sağlık çalışanlarının kullanım sürecinde mekân kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi bu çalışmanın temel amacını oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmada sağlık çalışanlarının çalışma ortamlarının kullanıcı ihtiyaçlarını ne ölçüde karşıladığı ve kullanıcı memnuniyeti açısından mimari mekân kalitesinin değerlendirilebilmesi için İstanbul’da bulunan iki hastanede alan çalışması yapılmıştır. Alan çalışması literatür taraması, mimari proje okumaları ve anket araştırma tekniklerinde dayandırılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Hastaneler “hasta yoğunluğuna bağlı mekânsal yapılanmalarının kapasite/sayısal yeterliliği”, “mekânsal çalışma alanlarının boyutsal uygunluğu”, “mobil makine ve ekipman açısından mekânsal sirkülasyon uygunluğu” ve “mekânsal konumlandırılma uygunluğu” kriterleri açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Anket tekniği 90 sağlık personeli (12 doktor, 38 hemşire, 40 tıbbi teknisyen) ile birebir yüz yüze yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda sağlık çalışanlarının problemli olarak tanımladıkları alanların asansörler, hastane bahçesi ve otopark olduğu tespit edilmiş ve yeni yapılacak hastaneler için bazı stratejiler belirlenmiştir.

Authors:   Bharati College, University of Delhi, Bansal Dr Vandana
Published: September 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a shift from traditional offline teaching to online learning. This change, driven by the urgent need for safety, led to a reversion. However, with the advent of vaccinations and medical advancements again the countries switched back to offline mode. However, the online learning experience during the pandemic prompted a reassessment of its effectiveness. To explore this, the author conducted an online survey using Google Forms, gathering responses from 345 participants. The respondents, comprising a diverse group from various universities of Delhi, included both genders, working and non-working individuals, as well as students pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate studies from different income brackets. The findings indicated a general preference for offline learning, though online education was acknowledged for its distinct benefits. The authors advocate for a blended teaching approach, combining both online and offline methods equally, which could optimize the use of existing infrastructure.

From Conflict to Collaboration: Co-funding Environmental Peacebuilding in South-central Somalia
Authors: Kheira Tarif
Published: September 2024

Somalia is experiencing significant impacts of climate change. Its climate-related vulnerabilities are exacerbated by the enduring effects of more than three decades of violent conflict and fragmented governance. As the effects of climate change become more pronounced, their interaction with social, economic and political realities threatens to create challenges that are complex and difficult to address. There is a need for policies and programmes that tackle climate change and conflict in tandem, but gaps persist in knowledge and evidence to inform actions under such policies and programmes. This SIPRI Policy Brief explores how the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Somalia uses a co-funding mechanism for facilitating collaboration between groups in conflict on addressing shared local priorities. In south-central Somalia, IOM has applied the co-funding mechanism to projects that aim to address local climate-related vulnerabilities, build relationships between communities in conflict and strengthen the role of district councils. This Policy Brief finds that elements of this approach to project design can support environmental peacebuilding in contexts exposed to climate change and affected by conflict, and offers recommendations for organizations and other donors with relevant mandates.

Authors: Ljube David , Mišič Jančar Jakob , Jeran Marko
Published: September 2024

This paper presents a comprehensive economic analysis of the new regulation on Artificial Intelligence (AI) proposed by the European Parliament and Council. The regulation aims to establish a harmonized framework for the development and deployment of AI across member states, ensuring safety, transparency, and ethical standards. We evaluate the potential economic impacts of this regulation, focusing on innovation, market competitiveness, and compliance costs for businesses. Additionally, the paper explores the concept of the "Brussels Effect," a phenomenon where European Union regulations influence global standards beyond the EU’s borders. By exploring how this new AI regulation might shape international norms and practices, we assess its implications for global trade and the international AI landscape. We examine the ways in which the regulation could set benchmarks for AI governance worldwide, potentially affecting non-EU companies and markets. Through this dual examination, the paper provides insights into the economic opportunities and challenges posed by the EU’s proactive regulatory approach to AI.

Authors: Salun Maryna , Zaslavska Kateryna
Published: September 2024

In today's rapidly changing educational landscape, the role of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) has become increasingly significant, especially in the context of non-for-mal learning. This paper delves into the evolving landscape of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), examining global and Ukrainian platforms. Two primary models of MOOCs are highlighted: cMOOCs, which emphasize connectivist principles like creation and autonomy, and xMOOCs, which follow traditional higher education methods with pre-recorded lectures and standardized assessments. The diverse MOOC landscape is highlighted, including major global platforms and Ukrainian initiatives, with a discussion on the comprehensive challenges and potential solutions to enhance the effectiveness of MOOCs. Despite their promise of making education more accessible, flexible, and cost-effective, MOOCs grapple with significant obstacles. These include low completion rates, particu-larly in emerging economies, access disparity due to the digital divide, and a mismatch between course offerings and the intended audience. Engagement issues also persist, with limited involvement from educational professionals and high dropout rates among em-ployed learners. Additionally, the perceived value of MOOC credentials remains ques-tionable, and geographical and socioeconomic barriers further hinder their effectiveness. Addressing these challenges through continuous innovation and improved course design and delivery is essential for enhancing the impact and accessibility of MOOCs globally.

THE VOCALIZE: FROM JUBILATION TO CONCERTO
Authors: Coșciug Tatiana
Published: September 2024

The vocalize, as a genre of vocal music, is a musical creation without words and is usually performed on a specific vowel, most of the time, this being the vowel “a”. As a technical study, the vocalize fulfills several functions: it improves breathing, trains both the abdominal muscles and the vocal cords, develops the resonators, gradually expanding the performer’s range. Originating as early as the 9th century, vocalization had an active development and has survived to the present day. Descriptions of early vocalization in the form of jubilation involve the song of early workers, which was used to facilitate their work. In the 19th and 20th centuries, composers were more and more interested in vocalization, the voice as the basic instrument, creating wonderful works, where the vocal part is devoid of text, being, concertante vocalizes.
Memories and landmarks of an ancient theater
Authors: Giurescu Adina
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this paper is to briefly recall some of the personalities of the Romanian theater from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The notes are a tribute to the actors, who imprinted the Romanian theatrical art with professionalism, passion and selflessnes. Theatrical (university) education leaves deep imprints, visible in the future artistic expression. In this case, our bewilderment is all the greater, as the present generations tend to ignore the contribution of the theater people of yesteryear. Can we think of Hamlet without mentioning Grigore Manolescu’s performance? Aristizza Romanescu was one of the most prominent figures of the Romanian theater. She dedicated herself to the profession of actor, establishing a respectable status for this occupation; she emphasized the possible social function of theatrical art. Our brief foray into the aforementioned period of Romanian theater urges us to observe the level of professionalism at which the actor’s art is performed today.
REFRACTORY NEO-MARXISM AND THE RETROGRADATION OF THE VALUE SYSTEM
Authors: Giurescu Victor
Published: September 2024

Acting on the idealistic belief that men are born equal, Lenin proclaimed that any kitchen maid could rule the country. Although it sounds nice in theory, in practice such an ideal has turned into a triumph of mediocrity. Instead of giving every one a chance to develop according to their individual talents, it was easier to resort to leveling talented people so that they all reach the same level. We must speak and write about art simply, in a way that everyone can understand. Scholarly expressions scare the students. They stimulate their brains, but not their souls. And because of this, at the moment of creation, the human intellect suffocates the artistic emotion and the subconscious, which plays an important role in our artistic current. But it is very difficult to speak and write „simply” about such a complex process as the creative one. Vs. Meyerhold abandoned K.S. Stanislavski, but that didn’t stop him from saying that when you go to the theater you should NOT identify yourself.

MULTICULTURALISM VS. PLURALISM — NEW SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVES ON CULTURE AND IDENTITY
Authors: Mitriuc Ana
Published: September 2024

We live in a world where values are redefined and restructured. Our era, as a historical space, is traversed by profound changes, being punctuated by crises and revolutions in the most diverse fields of existence, but nowhere it is felt more sharply than in the horizon of culture. Through out the centuries, culture and cultural identity have been challenged by new perspectives, among which multiculturalism and pluralism are the target point in this endeavor. Therefore, the article includes studies on new political ideologies, with an emphasis on their development and a broader treatment of the movements and policies generated by them. In developing the study, I focused on multiple dimensions of multiculturalism as the ideology of pluralism and diversity. For this purpose, we have resorted to a number of correlative terms, such as: diversity, multiculturalism, interculturalism, plural society and social culture. In this order of ideas, multiculturalism is recommended as a potential solution, with significant openings for the proper management of cultural pluralism.

Az elmúlt néhány évtizedben a terminális állapotú, nem gyógyítható megbetegedésben szenvedő munkavállalók életminőségének javításához fűződően világszerte viták témájává vált a munkaerőpiacon való maradásuk. Ezzel összefüggésben a munkahelyi rehabilitáció, a támogató környezet és a foglalkozás-egészségügyi ellátás jelentősége felértékelődik. Megfelelő felkészítés mellett a foglalkozás-egészségügyi ápolók kulcsszerepet játszhatnának a megbetegedett munkavállalókkal való együttműködésben, hiszen segíthetnek az egyéni szükségletek felmérésében és az észszerű alkalmazkodás biztosításában a munkahelyen. Tevékenységük révén a terminális állapotú munkavállalók számára kialakított munkafeltételek egyszerre javíthatják az életminőséget, és tehetik lehetővé a produktív munkavégzést az élet végén.

Bevezetés: A postnatalis palliatív ellátás igen kis mértékben kutatott és reprezentált területe a magyar gyermekgyógyászati palliatív ellátásnak. Célkitűzés, hogy erre vonatkozó magyar protokollok hiányában felmérésre kerüljön a kora- és újszülött-intenzívosztályon dolgozó ápolók szakmai és pszichés feladatai a gyermek és szüleinek testi, lelki, szellemi segítésének vonatkozásában, illetve, hogy milyen segítő programok és szakmai továbbképzések támogatják a komoly lelki megterhelés alatt álló szakembereket. Anyag és módszer: A kvantitatív, keresztmetszeti, összehasonlító vizsgálat 41 fő részvételével készült önkéntes alapon, anonim módon, kérdőíves módszerrel. Emellett interjú készítésére került sor a segítő szakmák szakembereivel (n=3) a feladatkörükkel, tapasztalataikkal, véleményeikkel, ismereteikkel kapcsolatban. Eredmények: Eredmények szempontjából a kis részvételi hajlandóság miatt nehéz levonni bármilyen konzekvenciát, azonban az újszülöttek fájdalom- és viselkedésfelmérésére, a gyermek szüleinek támogatására, illetve az ápolók ellátásba való bevonására irányuló kérdések szerencsére pozitív képet mutatnak az itthoni újszülött palliatív ellátás vonatkozásában, szemben a szakemberek szupportív feldolgozást segítő szupervíziók és képzések hiányával, ami distresszhez és kiégéshez vezethet. Következtetések: A kutatás kvintesszenciájaként kijelenthető, hogy mind a gyermekek és szüleik, mind az ápolók szempontjából szükség lenne kellő útmutatásra a témában, továbbá szakmaspecifikus képzések és támogató közegek részvételére a hatékonyabb gyászfeldolgozás és ellátás érdekében.

Technological advancements drive innovation in environmentally friendly material science. Environmental issues, such as pollution from toxic substances, motivate research into sustainable biocomposites. One of the widely studied biocomposites is a natural rubber-based composite with fillers that enhance its mechanical properties. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a popular inorganic filler. Marine shell waste, especially cockle shells (Anadara granosa) and eggshells, pose serious environmental problems. Cockle shells contain 95.7% calcium carbonate. Eggshells also have the potential to improve the mechanical properties of elastomer composites. This study aims to compare the effects of cockle shell and eggshell fillers on the mechanical properties of natural rubber through tensile testing, to determine the more effective filler in improving the mechanical performance of the composite. Test results show that cockle shells have a higher ultimate tensile strength (UTS) (up to 20.3 MPa) and a higher Young's modulus (up to 3.4 GPa) compared to eggshells, which have the lowest UTS of 17.94 MPa and the lowest Young's modulus of 1.8 GPa. This indicates that cockle shells are stiffer. However, eggshells have a higher yield strength (up to 15.2 MPa), indicating better elasticity. Overall, cockle shells enhance strength and stiffness, while eggshells excel in elasticity
Synthesis and visible light photocatalytic activity of silver zinc phosphates

Currently, photocatalytic materials in common use mainly use ultraviolet light, but the amount of ultraviolet light contained in sunlight is limited and their energy efficiency is known to be low. Therefore, there is a need for a compound that shows photocatalytic activity in visible light, and silver phosphate matches this requirement, but it is relatively expensive. In this study, photocatalytic materials that could use visible light and were relatively inexpensive were attempted to be prepared. Specifically, samples were prepared by changing the silver/zinc molar ratio (Ag/Zn = 100/0, 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40), and each sample was evaluated and examined from chemical composition, particle size, and functionality (UV-Vis. reflectance spectra, photocatalytic activity evaluation using methylene blue degradation reaction, and antibacterial property evaluation). It was found that silver phosphate was formed even in the sample with the lowest silver ratio, Ag/Zn = 60/40, showing high visible light responsive photocatalytic activity and antibacterial activity against E. coli.
Ag/Zn = 60/40, showing high visible light responsive photocatalytic activity and antibacterial activity against E. coli.
Vida acosada

Este libro explora, a partir de la lectura de testimonios, algunas de las experiencias de violencia más acuciantes actualmente en Centroamérica y México. A diferencia de lo que ocurre en otras partes del planeta, la violencia padecida en la región se manifiesta en una variedad de modos testimoniales y se visibiliza en los medios de comunicación locales y globales. No obstante, el esfuerzo de activistas, investigadores sociales, periodistas, realizadores cinematográficos, etc., se ve en buena parte contravenido por sus propias mediaciones, que conllevan entrabamientos, distorsiones y capturas. No de menor importancia ha sido la fijación de los textos en los hechos de sangre, que no revelan la entera verdad de los acontecimientos y, sin embargo, contribuyen al ahondamiento en el trauma.

Una vida en busca de la vida, no exenta de contradicciones, se aprecia en la lucha desde —y en contra de— los modos de subjetivación propiciados por el neoliberalismo, que han llevado a la deshumanización, al crimen y a la extrema crueldad. En el éxodo migratorio de la región, comparable a la huida de un estado de guerra, es la vida amenazada la que se sobrepone como corriente de afirmación y de deseo, como aspiración a un horizonte de sustentabilidad, de bienestar material y moral. En el extendido pandillerismo que ha asolado a las sociedades, la pulsión violenta se hallaría asociada a un lance de vida que, en su rescate de la condición de víctimas de los jóvenes, los convierte en victimarios, una pulsión que, susceptible de ser atrapada en microfascismos, podría ser portadora de una energía necesaria para formas positivas de elaboración simbólica y afectiva. En la movilización actual contra el ultraje de los cuerpos femeninos y el feminicidio, habría una lucha contra la exacerbación del poder masculino y una afirmación de las mujeres como sujetos, una politización de lo íntimo, un hermanamiento y una construcción de formas alternativas de vida humana.

En lugar de los paisajes de sufrimiento y muerte, de derrumbe civilizatorio y vaciamiento de la historia, los ensayos contenidos en esta obra proponen reconocer en los testimonios los signos de la resiliencia de la vida y de sus desbordes propiciatorios de formas de convivencia más amables en futuros posibles.

Published: September 2024

SETTING
Multidrug-resistant/rifampicin-resistant TB (MDR/RR-TB) is now endemic in the National Capital District (NCD), Papua New Guinea. Loss to follow-up (LTFU) is a challenge.

OBJECTIVE
To
evaluate and identify risk factors for LTFU, including pre-treatment LTFU, in adults with MDR/RR-TB at Port Moresby General Hospital (PMGH).

DESIGN
A retrospective analysis of treatment initiation in adults diagnosed with MDR/RR-TB (2018–2022)
and outcomes for a cohort treated for MDR/RR-TB (2014-2019). We assessed the factors associated with LTFU using multivariate logistic regression.

RESULTS
Of 95 patients diagnosed with MDR/RR-TB at PMGH from 2018 to 2022, 21 (22%) were lost
to follow-up before treatment. Of the 658 adults who initiated treatment for MDR/RR-TB at PMGH from 2014 to 2019, 161 (24%) were lost to follow-up during treatment. A higher proportion of patients on injectable-containing long regimens (110/404, 27%) were lost to follow-up than those on the
all-oral regimen containing bedaquiline (13/66, 12%). Treatment loss to follow-up was associated with age (35–54 years age group: aOR 0.49, 95% CI 0.32–0.77; 55–75 years age group: aOR 0.42, 95% CI 0.19–0.90; compared to the 15–34 years age group), residence outside
of NCD (aOR 1.79, 95% CI 1.04–3.06), and year of treatment initiation.

CONCLUSION
Pre-treatment LTFU requires programmatic focus. Shorter oral regimens and decentralised services may address the reasons for higher LTFU in younger people
and people living outside NCD.
