INTRA-PARTY DIALOGUE
Authors:   Belgrade Institute for Humanities and Social Research, Serbia, Aprcović Boriša
Published: December 2024

In public opinion, there is a persistent „aspiration“ for a social order that would be based on socijal justice, in which political parties would play the role of guardian angels of citizens and liberal values. Neverthless, the balance on the scales of history has generally tilted towards political realism, which has always been more interested in the issue of conquering and maintaining power, as faithfully testified by Thucydides, Machiavelli, and Hobbes. The emergence of modern political parties after 1789 did not significantly change this pragmatic course of development of politics and political institutions. The fact that citizens received the formal right to „vote“ did not significantly affect the power relationship that remained in the party headquarters. The old „elite“ parties were replaced by „mass“ and „catch-all“ parties for which the party base was significat as a raw number and not as a resource for intra-party dialogue. The power of the party was thus concentrated in the central office (party in central office), and over time, as subsidies to parties from the state increased, the power of the party moved from central party office to the public office (party in public office). In addition to the development that is inherent in every system including political parties, there is also an external influence on the power
structure within the political party which occurs in the process of the globalization of economy, politics, and culture. Since the 1990s, Serbia, which had a significant break in parliamentary life during the communist period, has gone through these phases of „evolution“ that lasted for hundreds of years in European countries. Thus, political parties in Serbia have gone through the phases of „mass“ and „catch- all“ parties, approaching the model of a “party in public service“, and now, similar to modern European parties, they are literary „attacking“ state institutions. The forced development of political parties in Serbia resulted in a low level of political culture and political awareness of citizens, which means that different forms of civil political education are required.

The present study showed the usage of ionic liquids as anti-wear additives for greases. New pyridinium-based ionic liquids bearing long alkyl chains were prepared and evaluated as wear-reducing additives in calcium sulfonate greases. The physical properties of the synthetic ionic liquids were identified. The obtained liquids were then added to greases at a concentration of 2 wt. %. The tribological performance of the greases was measured by using a standard benchtop test ASTM D2266. The results obtained allow us to conclude that the introduction of ionic liquids into polyalkylene glycol (PAG)-based calcium sulfonate grease has a positive effect on anti-wear properties since the wear decreases by several orders of magnitude. The interoperability of the synthetic ionic liquids with the calcium sulfonate greases and its potential influence upon solubility and tribological performance are tentatively proposed to be a result of the molecular structure.

Low-carbon steel has been widely used in various industrial applications and undergoes different surface treatments in contemporary practices to enhance wear resistance, corrosion resistance and hardness. Wear is a primary cause of damage to machine components under varying conditions like temperature, humidity, load and speed. This study focuses on improving wear resistance through coating applications. A reciprocal tribological test was conducted under a 30 N load with a 57.5 m sliding distance at 2500 cycles and 20 mm/s sliding speed. Two coatings, AISI 316L austenitic and AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel were applied using the HVOF method and subjected to plasma nitriding at 450 and 500 °C. Tests verified that the HVOF sprayed AISI 316L stainless steel coating nitrided at 450 °C offers the best wear resistance.

Authors: Talwar Yatin
Published: December 2024

Growing demand for healthcare trainees with a global perspective and the ability to navigate different systems of healthcare has increased due to the globalization of healthcare. A potential solution to this problem is Virtual Graduate Medical Education (VGME), which makes use of internet platforms to provide global research and educational opportunities. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess how well VGME programs work to improve the attitudes, knowledge and abilities of trainees in primary and emergency care. After a thorough search of electronic resources, nine studies that satisfied the inclusion requirements were found. Standardized techniques for data extraction and analysis were applied to the chosen research and a meta-analysis was carried out to quantitatively aggregate the findings. The review’s conclusions consistently showed that VGME has favorable effects. Participants in VGME programs saw a considerable increase in their comprehension of cultural settings, various healthcare systems and global health challenges. Furthermore, VGME promoted the development of critical abilities in a variety of contexts, including research, communication, cultural competency and patient-centered care. The difficulties and encounters had in global virtual environments also aided in the development of the individual and the professional. The study did note many drawbacks using VGME, such as the length of the course and time zone disparities, low learner enthusiasm and participation and connectivity problems. It is crucial to solve these issues and include VGME programs into current graduate medical school curriculum in order to optimize the advantages of VGME. To sum up, the present systematic review offers strong evidence for the efficaciousness of VGME in augmenting the knowledge, competencies and dispositions of trainees in primary and emergency care. Future healthcare professionals can benefit greatly from VGME’s assistance in preparing for the opportunities and challenges of a globalized society by addressing the challenges that have been recognized and streamlining program design.

Published: December 2024

Early diagnosis of foot diseases with lameness in cattle farms contributes to animal welfare and economy. Since early diagnosis of foot diseases characterized by lameness is very important, this study aimed to compare lameness scores and thermal temperatures in cattle. While lameness scoring was performed in ten cows (3-5 years old), thermal temperatures were measured from 280 points (right and left limbs) in the foot regions. Before lameness scoring, the gait of the cows was video recorded. Then, the recordings were watched and scored by two observers. Animals were taken to a shaded area for thermographic examination, and thermal records were kept. The temperature values obtained from the thermal camera represent the highest temperature in the anatomical regions. Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) through a bivariate linear regression model was used to investigate the relationship between lameness score and hoof temperature. In addition, the correlation between different anatomical regions was also analyzed. The analysis revealed no significant correlation between the lameness score and any specific region on the hoof or limb. However, significant correlations were found between anatomical areas. According to the data obtained from the Forelimb, the dorsal surface of the lateral hoof (R1) had a high correlation with the dorsal surface of the interdigital area (R5). Similarly, a high correlation was found between the dorsal surface of the medial hoof (R3) and the posterior surface of the interdigital area (R7). In the data obtained from the Hindlimb, two regions were identified where the dorsal surface of the lateral hoof (R2) had a high correlation: the dorsal surface of the medial hoof (R4) and the dorsal surface of the interdigital area (R6). In conclusion, if thermography detects temperature increases before illnesses occur, appropriate measures can be taken. According to the study's findings, it was determined that thermography could be a guide in methods such as lameness scoring and can play an effective role in taking precautions in preventive medicine.
Galectin-1 and -3 Expression in the Testis and Epididymis of Anatolian Ground Squirrels (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus) during Non-Breeding Periods of Pre-Hibernation and Hibernation
Authors: Özbek Mehmet , Öztop Mustafa
Published: December 2024

This study aims to investigate the expression patterns of Galectin-1 (Gal-1) and Gal-3 in the testis and epididymis of Anatolian ground squirrel (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus) during nonbreeding pre-hibernation and hibernation periods. Hibernation is a physiological state characterized by a reduction in metabolic rate and body temperature. Gal-1 and -3 are implicated in many biological functions. Twelve squirrels were used in this study. Followed by routine tissue processing, tissue samples underwent immunohistochemical procedure. Histological examination and statistical analysis were performed. Immunohistochemical investigation revealed that Gal-1 expression during pre-hibernation was confined to peritubular myoid cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, with no expression observed in Sertoli or spermatogenic cells. Gal-1 in the epididymis was localized to smooth muscle cells encircling the epithelium and within blood vessel walls, exhibiting markedly elevated expression across the caput, corpus, and cauda regions. During hibernation, testicular and epidydimal Gal-1 expression exhibited a considerable reduction. During pre-hibernation, Gal-3 exhibited a unique pattern, with expression noted in the seminiferous epithelium and Leydig cells. Gal-3 was detected in the epithelial cells throughout the epididymis, with greater intensity in specific epithelial cells. During hibernation, Gal-3 expression increased in Sertoli cells, spermatogonia, and spermatocytes within the testis, while exhibiting diminished intensity in the epididymal epithelium across all regions. The findings suggest that Gal-1 and -3 may be involved in seasonal reproductive adaptability during nonbreeding pre-hibernation and hibernation. Further research could clarify their specific molecular functions in hibernating species.

Batik is one of Indonesia's cultural heritages that we must preserve. Almost all regions in Indonesia have their own distinctive batik motifs that are different from each other. Currently, there are around 5,849 batik motifs in Indonesia spread from Aceh to Papua. Banyuwangi, as a destination that has various types of tourism, has twelve typical batik motifs that represent Banyuwangi culture itself. The variety of batik motifs in Banyuwangi has motivated Tambong Village to have batik with motifs that can represent their region and also be something to buy for visitors who travel to the area. However, this desire is hampered by the lack of a distinctive motif. To overcome this problem, this community service activity provides a solution that is expected to be able to solve partner problems. One of the solutions is the creation of a batik motif that is able to represent Tambong village as one of the Ijen Geoparks, named Batik Watu Rejeng.

In 2011, Karangbendo Village in Rogojampi Subdistrict, Banyuwangi Regency, had a population of 6,891 residents spread across five hamlets. However, the village government still lacks a comprehensive and real-time digital database, which has hindered decision-making, particularly in distributing social aid. Data collection is still conducted manually using paper forms and the Dasawisma application, which is considered inefficient, making it difficult for officials to access up-to-date and accurate information. To address this, a web-based population system is being developed to enable digital storage and access, with training for village officials and volunteers to begin data input in July 2024. The project will be implemented in stages, starting with the data input feature, followed by training to reduce errors. After data input, additional training will focus on maximizing the system's features, and progress will be measured by the amount of data successfully entered. The web-based system has now been completed, and training for Dasawisma volunteers and village officials has taken place. System evaluation shows an user acceptance rate 4.13 of 5, with a goal of completing 60% of the population data by December 2024.

Dusun VI Sungai Pinang, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra, there is a PKK mothers' association that is part of the Health care mothers. PKK mothers do not yet understand stunting prevention. The stunting data collection process is still done manually by recording in notebooks and sometimes the notes used are lost. Ekriting (electronic stunting screening) and soya bean honey are solutions in preventing stunting. Ekriting is a media that can be used by PKK mothers to screen toddler growth and development (TB and BB). Preventing stunting is important by providing nutrition for 1000 days of life and providing proper nutrition to pregnant women. One of the nutrients that can be easily obtained is honey and soybeans. The sampling method uses total sampling, meaning taking all PKK mothers who are part of the Health care mothers. The results of this Community Service activity are that most cadres (80%) know about stunting prevention with adequate nutrition and cadres know about stunting screening using the application. The assessment uses a questionnaire found in the stunting prevention application. Conclusion There is an Increase in the Role of Cadres Through the Introduction of E-Kriting and Making Soya Bean Honey in Stunting Screening and Prevention Efforts.

The numerous legal instruments and various agencies involved in the protection of women and children have not led to a reduction in violence against women and children; rather, the incidence has been increasing annually. The primary reasons for the rise in violence against women and children are the lack of education and awareness regarding human rights, gender equality, and gender-based violence, as well as the insufficient support from communities or social networks closest to the victims. This can result in victims feeling isolated and without a place to report or seek help. The method used in this community service program was training on case recording and reporting of violence against women and children. The result of the training was an increase in participants' knowledge regarding the forms of violence against women and children, the roles and duties of the Village Task Force for the Protection of Women and Children (PPA), as well as the procedure for handling cases of violence against women and children. The success of this program was measured using questionnaires administered before and after the training to assess the participants' knowledge and understanding of case recording and reporting of violence against women and children.

The highest maternal mortality rate in Pekalongan Regency in 2022 was recorded at Puskesmas Tirto 1, with 6 cases (17.64%) of the total cases in the regency. Out of 897 pregnant women in this area, 418 were classified as high-risk (46.60%), with a significant prevalence of anemia, preeclampsia, and malnutrition. This activity aimed to empower 35 pregnant women in two villages through education and training on pregnancy risk factors. The methods used included socialization, educational material delivery, health examinations, and practical risk assessment using the Poedji Rochjati Scoring Card (KSPR). Pregnant women were provided with guidance on pregnancy danger signs and the importance of routine check-ups, which included measuring body weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), blood pressure, and hemoglobin levels. The results indicate active participation from pregnant women who are highly interested in applying the knowledge they gained. An increase of 32.50 points in the mean knowledge score of pregnant women before and after the counseling sessions, measured through a questionnaire, serves as a parameter indicating the effectiveness of the counseling in enhancing their understanding of pregnancy risk factors. Through a demonstration of the KSPR (Pregnancy Risk Screening Card) use, participants were able to independently identify risks. This empowerment aims to raise awareness among pregnant women and the surrounding community about the importance of early detection and monitoring of high-risk pregnancies, which is expected to reduce maternal mortality rates in the region. The conclusion of this activity is that it successfully empowered pregnant women with the knowledge and skills needed to maintain their health during pregnancy, potentially reducing complications and maternal mortality in the region.

NUSANTARA CHRISTIANITY: The Synthesis Contextual Theology and Culture in Indonesia
Authors: Tandana Ester Agustini , Tanasyah Yusak
Published: December 2024

Like other sorts of knowledge, thought, and behavior, Christian theology is influenced by the context in which it is employed. Contextual theology shows how thoroughly contextual Christian theology is. The significance of context has never been entirely disregarded in the development of contextual theology. The emphasis on context, however, has been most prominent at times when the Christian message appeared to be the least related to the circumstances in which it was being spoken. Indonesia as the largest archipelagic country in the world with hundreds of tribes and languages has made Indonesia an interesting place to study in developing contextual theology. Based on the various languages and ethnicities that have various kinds of differences, Indonesia is unique in building a down-to-earth theology in the archipelago. This article aims to find out how contextual theology becomes a liaison in bridging between the Word and the context to be able to provide understanding for both parties to God's truth based on synthesis contextual theology and culture in Indonesia. The research method used is qualitative literature research which is the process of studying books, references, and research results to get a better understanding of a problem or issue. This information is then used to build a theoretical foundation for future research.
HE DID NOT DESCEND INTO HELL: An Appeal for Scripture Exegesis Karl Barth and Wayne Grudem
Authors: Munir Tjerlang , Susanto Johanes Lilik
Published: December 2024

The theory of the descent into hell, which holds that after his crucifixion, Jesus went into the realm of the dead to free the souls of the righteous who died before his resurrection, has been a source of contention in Christian theology throughout history. Some theologians and researchers have recently questioned the conventional reading of the relevant scripture texts, claiming that the fall into hell is neither required nor true teaching. In this study, we will argue for a careful and responsible interpretation of the key biblical passages to discern the genuine meaning of the fall into hell. I'll start by looking at the doctrine's historical and theological backdrop as well as its evolution in the early church. Then, using 1 Peter 3:19–20, Ephesians 4:8–10, and Acts 2:27–31 as examples, I will examine the scriptural verses that have been used to support or dispute the notion. I'll look at the passages' linguistic, literary, and theological characteristics, as well as their intertextual and cultural context. Based on this exegetical examination, we will argue that the notion of the descent into hell is a theological inference or hypothesis based on a combination of scriptural and non-scriptural sources rather than a necessary or explicit doctrine in the Bible.

Authors: Thao Ngo Van , Bańka Michał Sebastian , Tien Nguyen Hoang
Published: December 2024

Objective: This article’s objective is to analyse the coconut value chain of Ben Tre province, one of the strongest agricultural centres of Vietnam.
 
Theoretical framework: This article’s theoretical framework is primarily based on theories of value chain and product lines offered by GTZ international development agency (GTZ, 2007).
 
Methods: For the purpose of research, various quantitative and qualitative methods were used, including added value analysis serving as a general indicator for the whole coconut value chain (FAO, 2005).
 
Results and Implications: The results allow us to draw conclusions about the role of coconut value chain for the local economy as it generates income not only for the main participants (coconut growers, collectors, and processors) but also for the intermediaries (coconut suppliers, market information services, banks, trade associations and promotion agencies, authorities, and research centres). However, the income of coconut growers has actually decreased, reducing the quality and productivity. Therefore, there is a dire necessity to reasonably organise production processes within coconut value chain in a sustainable manner through three pillars: economy, society, and environment (AjMal Abdulsamad, 2016).
 
Originality/Value: This article’s pioneering research method used and results obtained could serve as a basis for developing similar studies for other agricultural productions and value chains in other provinces of the South West of Vietnam.

Results and Discussion: This study has developed a concrete framework for a halal parameter in the production of innovative halal products based on biotechnology or nanotechnology.
 
Research Implications: This study has the potential to assist authoritative bodies in reassessing and refining existing halal standards or formulating new halal guidelines by considering the emergence of technologically innovative food products while ensuring compliance with Shariah principles.
 
Originality/Value: The uniqueness and originality of this study lie in its development of a new parameter designed to serve as a solution for authorities in addressing public concerns regarding the halal status of technologically-based innovative food products.
Factors Constraining Women's Participation in Administrative Contracts Disputes Arbitration: Gender Equality as a Sustainable Development Goal: A Case Study of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Addin Eltayeib Hussein Mahmoud Sharaf
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the factors that constrain women's participation as arbitrators in administrative contract disputes in Saudi Arabia.
 
Theoretical Framework: Grounded in the women's arbitration theory, the article explores the factors that hinder women from arbitrating administrative contract disputes under Saudi Law to attain equality for women in the arbitration process as a sustainable development goal(SDG).
 
Method: To achieve the study's objective, a questionnaire-based approach was used for data collection, exploring factors such as social constraints, psychological limitations, comparison with judiciary roles, male responsibility in promoting women, support for women in arbitration, and gender equality measures. Regression analysis was conducted to examine the influence of these factors on the evaluation of women’s participation in arbitration. The results showed that while psychological limitations and support for women in arbitration positively affect participation, social constraints present significant barriers. A comparison between men’s and women’s opinions reveals differing perspectives, with men emphasizing institutional support and women highlighting the need for gender equality initiatives.
 
Results and Discussion: The results suggested that improving institutional support, addressing social constraints, and promoting gender equality are critical to advancing women’s participation in arbitration. This study provided valuable insights for policymakers and arbitration bodies, offering practical implications for advancing gender equality in Saudi Arabia, such as the need for targeted policy changes and the importance of promoting gender equality initiatives, empowering and motivating the audience to take action.
 
Research Implications: The study's practical implications are significant, as it seeks to increase women's opportunities to serve as arbitrators in administrative contract disputes.
 
Originality: This study contributes to the literature by its relevance, which lies in its in-depth analysis of the factors that constrain women's participation as arbitrators in administrative contract disputes to reveal their nature and contribute to the current theory in the field to bring attention to the importance of this issue in practice.

Authors: Chumakova Ekaterina , Korneev Dmitry , Gasparian Mikhail , Titov Valery , Makhov Ilia
Published: December 2024

Objective: The goal of the study is to create ANN models based on RBFNs and to evaluate their efficiency compared to the traditionally used feedforward deep neural networks (DNNs). The research considers the primary types of operational IT risk events related to disruptions and failures of systems and equipment that ensure business operations.
 
Method: A Gaussian function was used as the transformation function to build different RBFN models. The learning curves of the considered functions are provided to demonstrate the results of training and testing of the constructed RBFNs.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings indicate that RBFNs can achieve an accuracy of up to 98%, making them comparable to multi-layer perceptrons but with fewer hidden layers and faster training times. The model performed well in determining the criticality of IT risk events, offering both transparency and practicality for implementation in the banking sector.
 
Research Implication: The obtained findings show that the use of RBFNs in the indication system will provide a high-quality determination of the degree of impact of operational IT risks on the banking sector.

Published: December 2024

Objective: The study aimed to investigate how video games, as a digital and cultural medium, can be utilized to foster and promote youth activism.
 
Method: The study explored "digital freedom" and its impact on youth activism in gaming. It used a keyword-based search in three databases (Google Scholar, PhilPapers, ScienceDirect) to identify relevant sources. The focus was on finding works related to "freedom" and "game space" in philosophical and social contexts.
 
Results and Discussion: The study highlighted that gaming freedom involves the player’s control over immersion, drawing behavior from real life, and engaging in virtual life situations that develop personal responsibility. Games provided an opportunity to experience scenarios that enhance decision-making skills without real-life consequences.
 
Conclusions: Video games offer valuable platforms for experiencing life-like situations and cultivating skills such as strategic thinking and responsibility. While there are concerns about gaming addiction, games can positively contribute to social and personal development when used effectively.
