Sustainable Development Program: Synergism Integrated Farming System Implementation in Tambrauw, West Papua with A Holistic Approach
Authors: Theotama Gracella , Syahputra Yesaya Brian
Published: October 2024

Indonesia, as an agricultural country with abundant natural resources, still faces the problem of poverty in various regions, especially in West Papua. The high poverty rate in this area is related to the low access to education, food security, and proper economic resources. In an effort to address these issues, the Integrated Farming System (IFS) is considered a potential solution to improve community welfare and support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets. This study aims to identify the benefits, challenges and opportunities of IFS implementation in Tambrauw Regency, West Papua, with a focus on its contribution to the achievement of the five SDGs targets, including poverty and hunger alleviation, and improvement of quality of life and environment. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative study through literature review and secondary data analysis. Data were taken from various sources such as scientific journals, books, and official documents relevant to the research topic. The results show that the implementation of IFS in Tambrauw has the potential to increase agricultural and livestock productivity, create new jobs, and promote sustainable food production. In addition, the use of organic fertilizers and a holistic approach can have a positive impact on the environment and local communities. IFS is an effective program in supporting the achievement of SDGs through empowerment of local communities and sustainable use of existing resources. However, further support in the form of technological innovation and sustainable government policies are needed to ensure the long-term success of this program.
Masonic Secrets in and Brown’s The Lost Symbol
Authors: Arahman Fitrah Ningsih S
Published: October 2024

This research delves into the Masonic secrets embedded within Dan Brown's novel "The Lost Symbol," particularly as they relate to Washington D.C.'s enigmatic history. The study centers on Freemasonry symbols depicted in the novel and seeks to uncover their deeper meanings by analyzing real-life counterparts. The primary aim is to disclose the second-order meanings of these symbols, thereby unraveling the myths associated with Freemasonry, especially the so-called "lost symbol." Employing Roland Barthes' semiology perspective, this research reveals how Masonic symbols, as described by Brown, are interwoven with Washington's iconic monuments. The analysis focuses on symbols such as the House of the Temple, the Apotheosis of Washington, the Pyramid, the Circumpunct, and various Masonic working tools. By interpreting these symbols through both their first-order (denotative) and second-order (connotative) meanings, the study aims to reveal the myth behind the lost symbol. The findings indicate that the Masonic secrets are indeed hidden within the Washington Monument and the Capitol Building, specifically in the House of the Temple, where Masonic rituals are conducted, and the Capitol Rotunda, which is rich with concealed Masonic lore. The ultimate Masonic secret, as portrayed in the novel, is the "Lost Word," symbolized by the phrase "Laus Deo" (Praise God), inscribed atop the Capitol. According to Masonic beliefs, this symbol holds the power to unlock profound secrets, guiding them towards their ultimate objective: the establishment of a New World Order. Through the lens of second-order meaning, the myth of the lost word is interpreted as a celestial symbol, representing the promise of new beginnings and the transition from night to morning, as envisioned by the Masonic forefathers who designed the U.S. Capitol.

Published: October 2024

Background: Indonesia has an executive section implementing public diplomacy, but does not yet have the characteristics of public diplomacy to be carried out, does not yet have a priority goal on the image that will be achieved by public diplomacy. Tourism is one of Indonesia's strong identities, but a strong image of Indonesian tourism has not yet emerged, which should be a priority, Indonesian tourism is not only limited to many tourist attractions, of course. Public diplomacy can be utilized to support the image of tourism, but it will not reach the optimal target, if the country does not know the instruments and characteristics of its public diplomacy. If Indonesia's public diplomacy is not optimized through a grand strategy, there is no certain modeling, then the great potential in Indonesia's public diplomacy instruments, for example diaspora, culture, and tourism itself, will not be optimally utilized
Purpose: This research aims to map the characteristics of Indonesian public diplomacy so as to produce public diplomacy modeling that can be applied with potential instruments to be used, especially in supporting Indonesia's tourism image
Methods: The method in this research is based on qualitative data.
Results: With the conceptual framework of public diplomacy, interview methods and literature studies, this research found that the characteristics of tourism to be developed in Indonesia are quality and sustainable tourism, with supporting instruments of digital components and Indonesian cultural characteristics.
Conclusion: A clear and strategic approach to public diplomacy is essential to improving Indonesia's tourism image. By incorporating digital strategies and engaging both the diaspora and international influencers, Indonesia can better showcase its tourism potential on the global stage.

Authors:   Institute of Open and Distance Learning, Kampala International University, Uganda, David Tidhamulala
Published: October 2024

This study investigated the practices and effects of child abuse on learners’ academic performance in selected primary schools in Budaya Sub-county. The study concluded that parents ranked highest in promoting child abuse. They subject their children to both physical and psychological abuse, which consequently affects their performance at home and school. In addition, the study revealed that physically and emotionally, the abused child becomes aggressive towards fellow pupils and elders and suffers stunted physical and mental development. According to the findings, the study calls for social welfare agencies (public and private organizations) to redouble efforts in educating, counseling, and rehabilitating victims of child abuse. These efforts could encourage many victims of child abuse to continue their education or engage in other meaningful activities. Furthermore, the knowledge of both teachers and other school personnel, along with representatives from health care services, social services, and law enforcement, regarding child abuse is severely limited. Therefore, the government should educate all stakeholders about ways to reduce child abuse. Finally, the government should make and enforce strong laws to isolate the abuser from the victim, impose harsh sentences, and provide treatment services to the sexually offended victims.

Three concepts of happiness: From ancient Greece to modern sciences
Authors: Semenov Andrej , Nedeljković Zoran
Published: October 2024

This article provides a multidisciplinary exploration of the concept of happiness, spanning philosophical, psychological, sociological, and economic perspectives. Originally, happiness was perceived as an unpredictable force; however, Socrates and Aristotle recognized the potential for individuals to influence their own happiness, leading to a conceptual shift from a mere description to an exploration of the individual impact that laid the foundation for separating external and internal happiness. This reasoning remains dominant throughout the centuries with certain variations. Christian philosophers such as Augustine and Aquinas further explored the concept of happiness. While Augustine introduced a somber note, proposing that happiness is attainable only in the afterlife, requiring complete obedience in the present world, Aquinas, echoing Aristotle's optimism, believes in the attainability of imperfect happiness in the present world. However, the Reformation period marked a significant turning point, proclaiming the triumph of internal happiness and elevating the pursuit of happiness in the present world over external influences. Utilitarianism later took over the idea of internal happiness, positioning it as the ultimate goal: individuals were called to serve the sovereign master of pleasure, making choices based on utility and quantifying happiness with pain and unhappiness. From a contemporary standpoint, utilitarianism greatly shapes the notion of happiness and its pursuit. Thus, psychology makes efforts to identify internal indicators of happiness and to identify them while acknowledging the presence of external components. Economics, too, has a role in shaping the concept of happiness. Economics emphasizes utility as a key element for internal and short-term happiness, asserting that individuals can follow and create their own happiness through choices. The intricacies of this exploration underscore the complexity of happiness as a concept but also show room for potential collaborations and the need for a holistic comprehension of the notion of happiness.
The role and importance of the Srna News agency in the media space of the Republic of Srpska
Authors: Jokić Miroslav , Vučetić Vuk
Published: October 2024

News agencies function as 'wholesalers' of news, collecting news from various parts of the world, shaping it, and distributing it to their clients, mainly traditional mass media, and/or end users, the audience. Since their beginnings in the 19th century, agencies have been essential 'gatekeepers' defining the 'agenda' of mass media and, thus, practically the entire world. Additionally, news agencies represent a pillar of national identity, similar to the national bank, the army, or the post office; they symbolise statehood. Countries that were liberated in waves of anti-colonial struggles, immediately before or shortly after gaining independence, started their own national news agencies, representing one of the symbols of their independence. The Srna is the first and only news agency in the Republic of Srpska, and one of the leading agencies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, servicing a large number of mass media with its content. Since its inception, the Srna news agency has performed its informative role, maintaining a developed network of correspondents in the country, as well as in all major centers in Europe and around the world. The Srna also keeps pace with modern technological challenges; since its inception, it has offered photo and phono services, and since 2016, it has also provided video services, making it one of the most advanced modern news agencies. It can be said that the Srna has been essentially a witness, but also a participant, in all major socio-political, cultural, and historical events in the Republic of Srpska. However, the agency not only mediates information and news but also, in times of crisis, contributes to a kind of social homogenisation. As part of international communication highways, this agency represents an important agent of international communication. The inclusion of Srna in international communication highways, through which all major news in the world travels, has been an important part of a kind of international and political affirmation of the Republic of Srpska. Therefore, it can be said that the Srna news agency was actually created based on two primary goals: first, to inform domestic media and the public about the most significant local and global events, and secondly, to inform the world about events in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Srpska. Finally, the Srna was one of the main drivers of cultural life in the Republic of Srpska in the early nineties of the 20th century. As an important media company, an agent of international communication, and an important initiator of cultural life, among other things, this enterprise was the initiator of the establishment of cultural institutions (Srna film, Srna fest), a sponsor of various cultural events (Monodrama Festival of the Republic of Srpska), and it appeared as a publisher of books by domestic writers.
The potential of agricultural land according to the cadastral classification within the natural area undergoing the official designation procedure: Outstanding natural landscape "Rudnik Mountain"
Authors: Škobić Slađana
Published: October 2024

During 2023, the Institute for Nature Conservation of Serbia submitted a proposal and an act on the designation of a protected area, the Outstanding Natural Landscape Rudnik Mountain, to the Ministry of Environmental Protection. 33.70% of agricultural land, which is recognized as a resource of economic development potential, is included within the boundaries of the proposed protected area. Based on information obtained from the Republic Geodetic Office's Real Estate Cadastre, an analysis of the cadastral classification of land by cadastral municipalities was conducted to determine the potential for success of this rural region with regard to agricultural activities. The cadastral classification of agricultural land is based on natural production conditions and follows the morphological, physical, chemical, biological and paedological-geological characteristics of the soil of the Rudnik Mountain, as well as the dynamics of the area: relief, altitude, inclination of the terrain, slope aspect, erosional processes and other conditions aligned with the Rulebook on land cadastral classification. The results of this analysis set the basis for future activities to improve the situation regarding the use and possible protection of agricultural land within ONL Rudnik Mountain.

Interpreting the results of randomized controlled trials
Authors: Nikolić Božana
Published: October 2024

The aim of this review article is to explain, with the help of examples, how to choose, calculate and interpret effect measures in randomized controlled trials. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) belong to the group of experimental studies and they are conducted on sick persons. In these studies, participants are assigned to the experimental group, which receives the medicine which is being tested, and to the control group, which receives a placebo or a medicine, which has been previously used. The results of RCTs can be presented through relative or absolute effect measures. Relative effect measures include the relative risk (RR) and the relative risk reduction (RRR), while absolute effect measures include the absolute risk reduction (ARR) and the number of patients who should be treated (Number Needed to Treat - NNT). The strongest evidence of cause and effect is obtained in these studies, but these studies are rarely conducted because of their cost. The small number of participants in these studies can be overcome by using meta-analysis and multicenter studies.

Published: October 2024

Pancreatic cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer-related deaths and the twelfth most common cancer worldwide. Incidence and mortality rates vary from country to country, which is a consequence of exposure to different risk factors, the possibilities of early diagnosis and timely and adequate treatment. It is estimated that by 2040, there will be a further increase in the number of patients (e.g. by 27.4% in Europe) and deaths (e.g. by 28.5% in Europe) caused by pancreatic cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute of the United States of America, the average five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is 12%. Modifiable and non-modifiable factors contribute to the occurrence of this tumor. Pancreatic cancer occurs more often in the elderly, men, tobacco and alcohol users, people with diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, physically inactive and obese people, as well as in people with a positive family history of this malignant tumor. It is necessary to work on educating the population about the risk factors for pancreatic cancer, the possibilities of prevention and ways of early diagnosis of this disease.

Authors: Stanišić Olivera
Published: October 2024

Introduction/Aim: The new coronavirus or SARS-CoV-2, in a short period of time after its appearance in Wuhan, China at the end of 2019, quickly spread throughout the world, which is why on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a covid pandemic 19. Over 750 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 6.9 million deaths have been reported so far. The aim of this research is to analyze the demographic and clinical characteristics of people with COVID-19 in the South Banat District in 2021. Methods: The paper used a descriptive study that included 34,912 subjects of both sexes and all ages. The research included all patients in whom SARS-CoV-2 infection was laboratory-confirmed by a rapid antigen or RT-PCR test in 2021, in the South Banat District, without data on whether the infection occurred for the first time or not. For the purposes of this analysis, data on demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 disease were used. Incidence was used as an indicator of morbidity. As the denominator of the incidence rate, the number of inhabitants was used for the Južno Banat district and eight associated municipalities (Alibunar, Bela Crkva, Vršac, Kovačica, Kovin, Opovo, Pančevo and Plandište), according to the 2011 census. All data were processed in the IBM SPSS Statistics 22 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) software package. Results: In 2021, 34,912 sick patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were reported in the South Banat District. The incidence rate of COVID-19 was 11,885.7/100,000 inhabitants. The highest incidence rate was recorded in the municipality of Kovačica (15,618.7/100,000) and in the 40-49 age group (16,040.9/100,000). In all age groups, the incidence rates for COVID-19 were higher for women than for men, except for ages 0-14 and 60 and over. In October 2021, the highest incidence rate of the COVID-19 disease was registered (2759.3/100,000). 8% of patients had a severe clinical picture, and 22.8% had at least one comorbidity, of which hypertension (62.1%) was the most common. The most frequently recorded symptom of the disease was fever (73.6%). Complete vaccination was carried out in 17.9% of patients, and the most frequently administered vaccine was Sinopharm (69.9%). Conclusion: It is necessary to constantly educate the population about the importance of immunization, especially people with a higher risk of developing a more severe form of the covid-19 disease.
La autorreferencialidad en la obra de María Dolores Casanova (1914-2007): un análisis del diálogo biográfico-artístico en su pintura
Authors: Guiralt Gomar Carmen , Barrón Abad Sofía
Published: October 2024

María Dolores Casanova Teruel fue una pintora relevante en el contexto del arte contemporáneo español desde finales de los años sesenta hasta, aproximadamente, 1988. Sin embargo, su trascendencia se ha diluido con el tiempo. Dado el carácter narrativo y autorreferencial de su producción, este artículo aspira a reconstruir su trayectoria vital mientras se mantuvo activa en el espacio público. Para ello, se efectúa un análisis del diálogo biográfico-artístico en su obra, en el que sus memorias publicadas, eje vertebrador del discurso, se confrontan con sus creaciones pictóricas. El estudio también se sustenta en entrevistas a Casanova divulgadas en prensa y en otras inéditas a sus familiares y allegados, así como en material de archivo. La investigación demostrará una correspondencia casi exacta entre los diferentes episodios e intereses de su vida, registrados en su autobiografía, y su legado. No obstante, a su vez, el examen constatará que, donde el texto de la artista «miente», pasa con aparente indiferencia u oculta determinados momentos clave de su existencia, son sus pinturas las que revelan su «yo» más íntimo, que solo puede hallarse en su plástica y no en su crónica.

Meeting the escalating demand for food presents a challenge, necessitating the inevitable use of chemical pesticides to ensure a sufficient level of food production. However, these pesticides, have drawbacks and can adversely affect non-target organisms and the environment. Nanoparticles for disease management offer a powerful solution, bringing numerous benefits such as enhanced efficacy, minimized pesticide use, reduced impact on the environment, etc. In the present study, the supernatant of two fungi, Fusarium verticillioides and Bipolaris maydis were used for copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) synthesis. A 5 mM CuSO4 solution was used as a precursor and the reaction was carried out at an optimized pH of 8.5 in dark conditions.The shift in the reaction mixture's colour from light blue to yellowish-green and reddish-brown with F. verticillioides and B. maydis supernatant, respectively, preliminarily confirmed particle size reduction. Characterization of fungal-mediated synthesized CuNPs (FM-CuNPs) using transmission electron microscope measured the size of 8.62-52 nm and 27.96 to 65 nm by employing F. verticillioides and B.maydis, respectively, with a spherical shape. Dynamic light scattering measured the hydrodynamic size of FM-CuNPs 141.8 nm and 170.2 nm with zeta potential of -19.5 mV and -22.5 mV, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of functional groups such as amines, amides, and OH groups speculated to have a pivotal role in the reduction and stabilization of particle. Additionally, the in vitro evaluation efficacy of FM-CuNPs against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae exhibited a significant inhibition zone starting from 100 microgram ml (1.70 cm) as compared to control. The study demonstrates the -1 remarkable efficacy of FM-CuNPs synthesized for the first time using two aforesaid fungal species. .

Published: October 2024

Improving maternal and infant health outcomes remains a critical challenge in healthcare systems worldwide. This study investigates the role of enhanced midwifery practices in improving these outcomes by examining various interventions and approaches that midwives can implement. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 150 midwives across different healthcare settings, including urban and rural areas, over a six-month period. The research focused on key factors such as the application of evidence-based care, continuity of care, patient education, and culturally sensitive practices.
The results show that midwifery practices emphasizing patient-centered care, continuous monitoring, and active collaboration with other healthcare professionals significantly improved maternal outcomes, such as reduced rates of complications during labor and delivery, as well as lower instances of postpartum hemorrhage. Moreover, infants born under these enhanced practices showed better health metrics, including higher Apgar scores and reduced neonatal mortality rates. One notable finding was the positive impact of culturally sensitive practices in communities with diverse populations, where understanding and integrating cultural beliefs into care plans led to increased patient satisfaction and improved health outcomes.
Despite these findings, the study also highlights certain limitations, such as the restricted geographical scope and the need for further research to explore the long-term effects of these enhanced practices. Nevertheless, this research provides evidence that by adopting comprehensive and patient-centered midwifery approaches, maternal and infant health outcomes can be significantly improved. Future studies with larger sample sizes and broader geographical coverage are recommended to further validate these results.

Introduction: spindle cell sarcoma is a rare tumor, with little presentation in the literature. Soft tissue tumors constitute a heterogeneous group, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Clinical case: 5-year-old schoolboy who goes to his pediatrician for exophthalmos. His mother refers a progressive proptosis in the left eye of 6 months of evolution. No loss of visual acuity, in the last weeks intermittent pain with eye movements. On examination proptosis of the left eye with intermittent tearing and vascular lesion in the temporal portion of the same eye, he presented restriction of left eye movements. He was referred to the hospital emergency department where a head CT scan (Figure 1,2) was performed, revealing a unilateral left retroorbital lesion measuring 28 x 14 mm, causing proptosis, mass effect on retroocular structures and loss of ocular sphericity. Given the findings in the imaging tests, it was decided surgical intervention by means of frontotemporal craniotomy, subsequently receiving complementary treatment with local radiotherapy. Due to negative molecular pathology studies, the result was finally interpreted as undifferentiated 'adult-type' spindle cell sarcoma. Conclusion: although undifferentiated spindle cell sarcoma is a rare pathology, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of retro-orbital pathologies. The objective of this case is to review the main characteristics of spindle cell sarcoma, given its rapid and aggressive form of presentation, in a rare tumor.

In recent years, interest has grown in the use biometric systems for identity authentication tasks in digital services, forensic and security applications. A unimodal system (employing a single biometric trait) with high performance is still vulnerable to falsification attacks such as spoofing. For this reason, research on multimodal biometrics (employing various biometric traits) has increased to reinforce security, increase recognition performance, and make false identity authentication more difficult. In this paper, we propose a bimodal system that combines speech and face modalities by concatenating their feature vectors, these vectors are extracted from two convolutional neural networks (CNN) and used for identity verification. The performance of unimodal CNNs was evaluated individually and compared to the bimodal system of concatenated vectors. A data augmentation scheme is used for both modalities to evaluate different operation conditions. Results were measured in terms of Equal Error Rate (EER).

This paper presents the simplified and generalized equations to estimate the optimal design based in the concept of minimum cost for the reinforced concrete corner combined footings under axial load and biaxial moments in each column that considers the linear pressure of the soil acting on the footing contact surface. This work is presented in two stages: in the first stage the minimum contact surface on the footing is obtained, and in the second stage the minimum cost for design is obtained. The formulation was developed under the condition that the derivative of the moment is the shear force. Four examples are shown to obtain the minimum cost for the complete design. The solution is obtained with the help of Maple-15 software that solves these types of problems. The results show that there is no direct relationship between the optimal area and the minimum cost design.
Evolutionary utility of emerging communication systems and Singnal Complexity in Robotics

Communication allows robots to exchange information and coordinate to solve complex tasks. Evolutionary methods are used to emerge communication in groups of robots. However, many variables are involved, and they must be studied to understand their influence on the emergence of communication systems. Thus, a study is presented to try to understand if a standard approach is more effective than using Evolutionary Robotics in order to produce development signals. For this, an environment is adapted to solve the task of discrimination between food and poison areas, which favors the emergence of signals. The experiments are performed in a simulated environment using FARSA and the Marxbot platform. Furthermore, we set three experiments varying the complexity of the emerging communication system in order to measure fitness levels. Finally, we found that a communication system involving more signals significantly increases the task’s fitness.
