Study on the Implementation of ILO Convention No. 98 in Indonesia and Its Comparison with Developed and Developing Countries
Authors: Nasution Faizal Amir P , Tobing Henriko , Farizal Nur , Siregar Syahdan Abdul Haris , Muhyiddin Muhyiddin
Published: May 2024

Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation has been reported by ITUC, KSPI, and KSBSI for violating ILO Convention No. 98. The Indonesian government is considered not involving Trade Unions/Labor Unions in terms of collective bargaining when drafting the Job Creation Law and the substance of the Job Creation Law which is considered to limit the role of Trade Unions/Labor Unions. The United States Government, the United States Labor Association, the Belgium Labor Association, Netherlands Labor Association, Republic of Korean Labor Association, and the Brazil Labor Association provide different views from Indonesia on the report. This study uses a qualitative approach supported by a literature study with FGD discussions. Based on the results of the study, reports by Trade Unions to the ILO regarding violations of ILO Convention No. 98 are generally still conjectural and do not depart from cases or violations of the law that have occurred. The government can report data on labor practices in Indonesia to show that there are no efforts to limit the role of Trade Unions/Labor Unions as evidence that the Government of Indonesia has implemented the principles in the ILO Convention. The government of Indonesia has an important role in increasing the provision of training and improving work competencies, increasing labor placement and expanding employment opportunities, as well as continuing to oversee the implementation of this Job Creation Law in companies and continuing to protect workers by providing legal protection and social security. The Government of Indonesia is currently receiving ILO Technical Assistance, and can propose to continue implementing the Job Creation Law regulations and continue to provide regular reports to the ILO. If this provision in practice is detrimental to workers and trade unions, then this provision can be challenged procedurally with the support of valid evidence.
CGE Analysis of the Impact of the 2024 Minimum Wage Increase on the National Economy in Indonesia
Authors: Annazah Nur Siti , Hazami Muhammad Fikrie , Nasution Faizal Amir P , Tobing Henriko
Published: May 2024

One of the minimum wage problems is caused by workers/laborers' needing to agree with the wage increase set. The minimum wage increase is still minimal compared to the high worker need. The Labor Organization president called the government to raise the provincial minimum wage (UMP) and district/city minimum wage (UMK) 2024 by 15%. This figure is obtained from the Decent Living Needs (KHL) survey results and other indicators such as inflation and economic growth. On the other hand, the minimum wage increase of 15% is considered by employers to be unrealistic, considering the condition of the national economy is hit by uncertainty. The government said that determining the minimum wage based on PP 36/2021 and considering the welfare of workers/laborers’ also looks at the Company's capabilities. This paper aims to see new macroeconomic and welfare conditions due to the increase in the minimum wage by 15%. Using the general equilibrium model of static computing (CGE), the analysis results show that an increase in the minimum wage leads to a decrease in demand for labor, especially in labor-intensive sectors. The increase in wages impacts increasing household income, thus indicating an increase in household welfare. However, inflationary pressures brought about by the minimum wage increase mask the increase in revenue, resulting in a decrease in household consumption budgets. This translates into a loss of net well-being, with a more significant impact on urban households than rural households. The output of most sectors, especially labor-intensive sectors, declined, but nominal GDP increased. The increase in nominal GDP is due to rising prices, not actual economic output.

Future of Joint Amphibious Operations for Furtherance of National Security Objectives in Indian Context
Authors: Chadha Brig Amod
Published: May 2024

India's two island territories; Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal and the Lakshadweep Islands in the Arabian Sea are at considerable distances from mainland and straddling some of the most critical international sea lanes of communication (ISLs) of the world. Their location and distance from India reinforce their criticality to India's security. Further, along with protecting India's territories, diaspora, and interests, India's defense forces may need to render assistance to countries that are crucial to India's strategic and economic wellbeing and also to further India's diplomatic foot print as directed by the government. There is thus a requirement to study the future of amphibious operations in the Indian context for furtherance of its national security objective. The article looks at the historical background of amphibious operations and future of joint amphibious operations in the Indian context to determine if the creation of an amphibious task force for India is an imperative given India’s centrality in the IOR. It argues that an amphibious capability that is maintained at a high state of operational readiness will provide India a high degree of strategic deterrence. This capability would also have the inherent ability to graduate from a threat in being to intervention, should the situation so require at short notice. Further, jointness is in the very nature of amphibious operations and hence the three Services need to synergize their actions and achieve results in the true spirit of jointness.
Keeping Track of History: The Relevance of Oral Traditions and Material Memory from a Feminist Perspective
Authors: Ganguly Sarasi
Published: May 2024

It is often said that men and women have very different perceptions of situations. Strangely, this perception is overlooked when recounting the past and how certain situations unfolded. When there is a conversation around any kind of conflict, the focus shifts to the battlefields, the statistics of people losing their lives or getting displaced, and finally, what changes the outcome brings. But the insides of houses far away from the battlefields are often neglected. This may raise a question: What about the people living away from the conflict and trying to keep everything normal? What about their side of the story and their voices that might have seen the situation differently? This research will focus on the principal question, “Can the idea of collective memory help reshape the historical landscape of post-independence India?” The idea will be to explore the fields of oral traditions and material memory to rethink and reevaluate the idea of history as we know it and the potential of changing narratives. This essay seeks to explore the subject through a feminist lens, where women and the hidden histories of women in conflict can be studied through material culture. India’s colonial and post-colonial history is open to interpretation through various cultural angles. One of them is how women became a part of the freedom movement and adjusted to the changes that followed. While matrilineal trauma and memory have been examined in memory studies, using material heritage can bring out stories buried within families. This research will aim to take the stories out of history books and place them in common households.

В статье рассмотрены определения понятий «дебиторская задолженность» и «кредиторская задолженность» с различных позиций. Дебиторская и кредиторская задолженность являются важной частью денежных отношений, играя значимую роль в финансово-хозяйственной деятельности любой организации. Производственный процесс представляет собой взаимоотношения, связанные с приобретением товарно-материальных ценностей, необходимых для процесса производства. Исходя из этого, организации осуществляют различные виды сделок, в которые вступают с двух сторон: как дебитор, так и кредитор, что порождает образование дебиторской и кредиторской задолженности. Величина задолженности может оказать существенное влияние на формирование конечных показателей хозяйственной деятельности предприятия и формирование рыночной стоимости ее бизнеса.

The article discusses the definitions of the concepts of “accounts receivable” and “accounts payable” from various positions. Accounts receivable and accounts payable are an important part of monetary relations, thereby playing an important role in the financial and economic activities of any organization. The production process of any organization is a relationship related to the acquisition of inventory items necessary for the implementation of the production process. Based on this, organizations carry out various types of transactions, which are entered into from two sides: both the debtor and the creditor, which generates the formation of accounts receivable and accounts payable. The amount of debt can have a significant impact on the formation of the final indicators of an enterprise’s economic activity and the formation of the market value of its business.

Information extremism: entity and the features of the manifestation
Authors: Бгажноков М.В.
Published: May 2024

В статье рассматриваются причины возникновения, пути распространения и профилактики информационного экстремизма, который на сегодняшний день имеет не меньшую опасность, чем его традиционные формы. Благодаря цифровому пространству даже один носитель радикальных взглядов может нанести обществу больший урон, чем большая группировка, не пользующаяся благами прогресса. Он может распространить больше вредоносной информации, совершить различные общественно опасные деяния в цифровой сфере, если будет располагать необходимыми знаниями и оборудованием. Информационные экстремисты не совершают физических действий, как, например, взрывы, но они действуют в цифровом пространстве и наносят большой урон. Например, они могут взламывать различные правительственные сайты, счета граждан, распространять запрещенную или не соответствующую действительности информацию. Целью таких действий являются хаос в цифровом мире. В качестве целей экстремисты могут выбирать отдельных людей, сообщества, государственные органы и др. Они могут прибегать не только к различным техническим способам влияния на цели, но и вступать с ними в дискуссии, убеждать в своей правоте, шантажировать, вербовать.

The article examines the causes, ways of spreading and preventing information extremism, which today is no less dangerous than its traditional forms. Thanks to the digital space, even a single bearer of radical views can cause more damage to society than a large group that does not benefit from progress. He can spread more malicious information and commit various socially dangerous acts in the digital sphere if he has the necessary knowledge and equipment. Information extremists do not commit physical acts, such as explosions, but they operate in the digital space and cause great damage of a different nature. For example, they can hack various government websites, citizens’ accounts, and distribute prohibited or untrue information. The purpose of such actions is chaos and confusion in the digital world. Extremists can target individuals, communities, government agencies, and more. They can resort not only to various technical methods of influencing goals, but also enter into discussions with them, convince them of their rightness, blackmail, recruit.

Kualitas Tidur dan Hipersomnia Pada Mahasiswa Profesi Ners di Masa Pandemi COVID-19
Authors: Saluy Priscillia Merilyn , Lainsamputty Ferdy
Published: May 2024

Background: Poor sleep conditions are common among nursing students, especially those in professional nursing program who have a long duration of clinical practice and direct contact with patients. Various factors have contributed to this condition and the possibility of more severe situation being experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Purpose: The study purpose was to identify factors related to sleep quality and hypersomnia among professional nursing students in time of COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This was a descriptive correlational and cross-sectional design with consecutive sampling on 107 students. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) were the questionnaires in this study. Results: Most of respondents experienced poor sleep quality (78,5%) and high normal hypersomnia (36,4%). There were a significant differences of sleep quality based on ethnicity (H(2) = 11,00; p < 0,01). There were a significant differences of hypersomnia based on ethnicity (F = 5,32; p < 0,01) and knowledge of COVID-19 (F = -2,39; p = 0,02). A significant correlation were found between age with sleep duration (r = -0,19; p = 0,04), daytime dysfunction  (r = -0,24; p = 0,01), sleep quality (r = -0,23, p = 0,02), and hypersomnia (r = -0,28; p < 0,01). Conclusion: Poor sleep quality and hypersomnia had high prevalences among professional nursing students. Daytime dysfunction was the worst dimension of sleep quality in this study. Students who were younger, Minahasan, and had more knowledge about COVID-19 also had a poorer sleep status.
Biometric analysis of the calcareous nannofossil group reticulofenestrids from the Oligocene to the Miocene
Authors: Doi Nobuhiro , Kameo Koji
Published: May 2024

The calcareous nannofossil genus Reticulofenestra and its related taxa are called “reticulofenestrids,” and they were one of the major nannofossil groups during the Cenozoic. The reticulofenestrid specimens are composed of two shields, proximal and distal, which are circular or subcircular in shape and consist of tiny calcite plates. Cyclic changes in the size and shape of reticulofenestrid coccoliths have been used to characterize their evolution. The major taxonomic turnover in this group was related to environmental changes during the Cenozoic. From the Oligocene to the Miocene, there were several different types of reticulofenestrids. The primary taxon of reticulofenestrids disappeared during the Oligocene-Miocene boundary, and elliptical species emerged during the early Miocene. However, it is uncertain exactly when and how the change in reticulofenestrids occurred. To understand the evolutionary trends of reticulofenestrids, we conducted biometric analyses from the Oligocene to the Miocene. Detailed observation and measurement of reticulofenestrid coccoliths under a scanning electron microscope revealed a significant size reduction in the group near the Oligocene–Miocene, which corresponds to a period of rapid global cooling. Furthermore, regarding the reticulofenestrid taxa in this study, central structures characterize the Oligocene genus Dictyococcites, and the long axis length of the coccolith outline and central areas can be effective characteristics for distinguishing between theMiocene Cyclicargolithus and Reticulofenestra. These results suggest that morphological differences of reticulofenestrids are expressed not only in the shape and size of the coccolith but also in the size and shape of its central area.
Biostratigraphy and sedimentation rate estimation of Quaternary sediments of the Krishna-Godavari Basin, Bay of Bengal: Evidence from NGHP-01 Holes 10D, 5C and 3B

Published: May 2024

The deposition of a substantial amount of clastic sediments in the Krishna Godavari Basin formed a thick layer of nannofossil-rich clay known as the Godavari Clay Formation. This clayey sequence is a treasure trove for unveiling paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic information. Numerous radiometric dates from the topmost portion of this clay (top 27m) are available, covering the last 43 ka. However, the availability of data on age connotation with considerably high resolution for the deeper sediments is rare and is still awaited. In this study, we pursued nannoplankton and planktic foraminiferal investigations on the top 198 m (Hole 10D), 300 m (Hole 3B), and 198 m (Hole 5C) sediments of this basin to generate multiple age data with a relatively high resolution. First Occurrence (FO) and Last Occurrence (LO) of nannoplankton taxa Emiliania huxleyi, Helicosphaera inversa, Helicosphaera sellii, large Gephyrocapsa spp., Pseudoemiliania lacunosa, Reticulofenestra asanoi, and planktic foraminiferal taxa Globorotalia flexuosa and Globigerinella calida are considered as potential index taxa for establishing the bioevents as well as biostratigraphy.Based on these, we have identified nine events from Hole 10D, six events from Hole 3B, and seven events from Hole 5C, which are potential for assigning the relative ages.We also observed two-fold variations in sedimentation rates in all the holes and one hiatus at 110.73 mbsf in Hole 5C, indicating a shift in climate and basinal settings. A high sedimentation rate of greater than 20.59 cm/ka after approximately 0.4 Ma at all the holes is probably linked to the intensification of the Indian summer monsoon across the mid-Brunhes Epoch. The significantly low sedimentation rates (less than 14.62 cm/ka) in older sediment sequences before 0.4Ma is probably related to the relatively weak monsoonal activity. The generated age data, variations in sedimentation rates, and identified hiatus are considered to be potential for delineating paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic changes of this area since the Calabrian Stage.

Authors: Lariba Emma
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The general aim of this study was to explore gender dynamics in STEM fields particularly, women’s experiences in different cultural contexts.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the gender dynamics in STEM fields. Through a comparative analysis across diverse cultural settings, significant variations in women's experiences in STEM were revealed, with some societies demonstrating greater gender equity and support for women. However, persistent disparities and challenges related to cultural norms and gender roles were observed in others. The research underscored the intersectional nature of gender dynamics in STEM, emphasizing the interconnectedness of gender with other dimensions of identity such as race and ethnicity. Additionally, cultural stereotypes and societal expectations were identified as significant barriers to women's participation and advancement in STEM fields. The findings underscored the importance of context-specific approaches to promoting gender equity in STEM and highlighted the need for challenging stereotypes and fostering inclusive environments for women in STEM fields globally.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social Cognitive Career theory (SCCT), intersectionality theory and Cultural-Historical Activity theory (CHAT) may be used to anchor future studies on gender dynamics in STEM fields. The study provided valuable recommendations with significant implications for theory, practice, and policy. It contributed to theoretical advancements by highlighting the intersectional nature of gender dynamics in STEM, offering practical recommendations for stakeholders in education and workforce development, and suggesting policy interventions aimed at promoting gender equity in STEM fields. The study emphasized the importance of organizational change, global collaboration, and continuous evaluation and improvement in advancing gender equity in STEM. By implementing these recommendations, stakeholders could work towards creating more equitable and inclusive environments where women could thrive and contribute meaningfully to STEM fields worldwide.

Authors: Uzunowa Katelina , Koychev Blagoy , Peeva Stanislava , Raichev Evgeniy , Spassov Nikolai
Published: May 2024

Cranial sexual dimorphism in grey wolf (Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758) from Bulgaria has not been studied so far. Skulls from adult individuals from across the country were studied. Thirty-six parameters (35 craniodental measurements and a volumetric one) of each skull were measured. The Bulgarian wolf population exhibits weak craniodental sexual dimorphism, which is male-biased, as is typical in canids with a monogamous social system. However, the sexual dimorphism is more pronounced than in the studied more northern populations.

Abstract:
Objective: To assess the relationship between mode of delivery and rate of birth asphyxia in a Tertiary care Hospital, Rawalpindi.
Methodology: This prospective case control study was conducted in Holyfamily Hospital,Rawalpindi from August 2021 to December 2021.One hundred and seventy two newborns were enrolled after assessing the inclusion criteria and divided equally into cases(neonates with birth asphyxia) and controls(neonates without birth asphyxia).A structured performa was designed to take detailed history of mode of delivery and severity of birth asphyxia by using APGAR score. Data analysis was done using SPSS 24.00.
Results: One hundred and seventy two neonates were included in the study. 110 were males (63.9%) and 62 were females (36%). Term infants were more affected with birth asphyxia rather than preterm infants(53.6%). Meconium stained liquor(61.9%) and non-booked cases(55.1%) were seen more in case group.Spontaneous vaginal delivery was the common mode among all in our study population(91%). Emergency caesarean sections have higher frequency of birth asphyxia as compared to elective caesarean sections (39.3%) but no statistically significant difference found in frequency of birth asphyxia between case and control groups with regards to mode of delivery (p value=0.620) but significant in terms of neonatal mortality(p value=0.000).
Conclusion:
Birth asphyxia is a common contributor to neonatal mortality and improving perinatal care can help in reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries.
United States marijuana legalization and opioid mortality trends before and during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Bleyer Archie , Barnes Brian , Finn Kenneth
Published: May 2024

Background: To determine if marijuana legalization was associated with reduced opioid mortality.
Study design: The United States (US) opioid mortality trend during the 2010-2019 decade was compared in states and District of Columbia (jurisdictions) that had implemented marijuana legalization with states that had not. Acceleration of opioid mortality during 2020, the first year of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, was also compared in recreational and medicinal-only legalizing jurisdictions.
Methods: Joinpoint methodology was applied to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention WONDER data. Trends in legalizing jurisdictions were cumulative aggregates.
Results: The overall opioid and fentanyl death rates and the percentage of opioid deaths due to fentanyl increased more during 2010-2019 in jurisdictions that legalized marijuana than in those that did not (pairwise comparison p = 0.007, 0.05, and 0.006, respectively). By 2019, the all-opioid and fentanyl death rates were 44 and 50 percent greater in the legalizing than in the nonlegalizing jurisdictions, respectively. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, jurisdictions that implemented recreational marijuana legalization before 2019 had significantly greater increases in both overall opioid and fentanyl death rates than jurisdictions with medicinal-only legalization. For all-opioids, the mean (95 percent confidence interval) 2019-to-2020 increases were 46.5 percent (36.6, 56.3 percent) and 29.1 percent (20.2, 37.9 percent), respectively (p = 0.02). For fentanyl, they were 115.6 percent (80.2, 151.6 percent) and 55.4 percent (31.6, 79.2 percent), respectively (p = 0.01).
Conclusions: During the past decade, marijuana legalization in the US was associated at the jurisdiction level with a greater acceleration in opioid death rate. An even greater increase in opioid mortality occurred in recreational-legalizing jurisdictions with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Marijuana legalization is correlated with worsening of the US opioid epidemic.

The facial expression recognition (FER) system is the process of identifying the emotional state of a person. Emotion recognition from facial expressions is a rapidly growing area of research with numerous applications, including psychology, marketing, and human-computer interaction. This paper presents a novel approach to FER employing deep learning techniques, specifically leveraging the power of transfer learning methodology. To address the challenge of accurately recognizing different emotions, including angry, disgusted, afraid, happy, sad, surprised, and neutral, from facial expressions, a pre-trained model MobileNetV2 architecture has been fine-tuned for improving accuracy. It is a lightweight convolutional neural network architecture, specifically designed for efficient on-device inference. For evaluating the performance of the proposed FER model, the state-of-the-art FER-2013 dataset, along random images and video clips has been employed. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed FER model attained a remarkable accuracy rate exceeding 99% when tested on diverse sets of random images and video clips. Moreover, the system achieved a notable accuracy of 61% when evaluated against the FER-2013 dataset. Overall, this approach presents a significant advancement in the field of real-time facial expression recognition using the MobileNetV2 architecture with FER2013 dataset, which may improve the quality of human-computer interactions.

A escrita, enquanto tecnologia e prática social de interação, especialmente nas sociedades grafocêntricas, requer um processo de ensino e aprendizagem sistemático, geralmente desenvolvido no contexto escolar. Assim, nossa finalidade nesta pesquisa foi observar e analisar os desvios de grafia em textos de estudantes em fase de escrita pós-alfabética. Com base em Ferreiro e Teberosky (1999), Cagliari (2003), Hodges e Nobre (2012), entre outros, além dos parâmetros da BNCC (2018), analisamos dois textos produzidos por alunos do 3º ano do ensino fundamental em duas oficinas de escrita. A análise em questão levou em consideração, por conta do nível de escolaridade dos estudantes, que os desvios ortográficos observados não são necessariamente “erros”, mas tentativas de seguir o padrão da ortografia, caracterizando-os assim como hipóteses de escrita. Nessa perspectiva, buscamos observar e descrever os processos metalinguísticos representados nos textos, considerando os diferentes níveis ortográficos dos discentes.
Estado da arte sobre a identidade profissional dos professores do ensino básico
Authors: Martínez-Arévalo Mónica , Prada Londoño Manuel Alejandro
Published: May 2024

A identidade profissional dos professores é um campo de conhecimento que ganhou importância nas duas últimas décadas; entretanto, a identidade profissional dos professores do ensino fundamental é um campo pouco explorado. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o estado da arte sobre a identidade profissional dos professores do ensino fundamental. Artigos de pesquisa, em três idiomas, publicados entre 2019 e 2023, foram analisados e três afirmações centrais foram estabelecidas: os professores são agentes de sua própria identidade; essa identidade é dinâmica e mutável e é influenciada pelas políticas públicas, pelo contexto sociocultural, pelas relações pessoais e profissionais e por suas experiências no desenvolvimento de seu trabalho docente. Com base nos resultados, destaca-se a necessidade de aprofundar a identidade profissional dos professores do ensino fundamental, o que seria uma dívida acadêmica na área, e propõem-se questões diante da lacuna revelada.

O coração, como os demais órgãos do corpo, precisa de sangue arterial rico em oxigênio para funcionar normalmente e quando há alguma obstrução nas artérias que nutrem o músculo cardíaco, as artérias coronárias, existe a  interrupção do fornecimento de sangue para o coração e quando isso acontece, ocorre o Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM). O IAM é uma das principais causas de morte no mundo moderno e devido a sua prevalência, se torna uma das questões de saúde pública mais relevantes na atualidade. O infarto costuma ter maior incidência com pessoas que estão acima do peso, praticam o tabagismo, são sedentários, hipertensos ou diabéticos e representa uma das principais causas de óbito em homens e mulheres acima de trinta anos. Sendo assim, a população necessita não só de tratamento, mas também de uma orientação farmacêutica sobre os fatores de riscos que acometem o infarto, alertando as pessoas a terem melhores hábitos alimentares, um bom estilo de vida e a prática de atividades físicas, podendo assim diminuir a probabilidade de ter a doença. Seu diagnóstico baseia-se principalmente, nos resultados dos valores dos marcadores laboratoriais cardíacos, tendo com maior frequência o uso da Creatina fosfoquinase (CK-total), Creatina fosfoquinase fração MB (CK-MB), Mioglobina e Troponina. O tratamento farmacológico do IAM é responsável por uma redução de até 30 % na mortalidade. Este aumento da sobrevida está associado ao uso de trombolíticos, aspirina, beta-bloqueadores e inibidores da enzima conversora da angiotensina (IECA) na fase aguda do IAM, bem como ao uso de alguns medicamentos após o IAM (profilaxia secundária).
