When it comes to conflicts that occur massively on a global scale, there is no end in sight. Conflict triggers can start from differences in views, cultures, religions and perceptions that can be the beginning of conflict sparks. In every conflict, of course, there are various interests that drive the conflict. Conflicts that often occur, can lead to a variety of conclusions that can affect what and how a relationship and the end result of two or more individuals experiencing conflict. This journal focuses on conflicts that occur between people who work in the informal sector, people in the ring of a company development area and people in disadvantaged areas. This journal also tries to interpret how conflict patterns can occur in Southeast Asian regions such as Thailand and the Philippines. understanding what, why and how conflict can arise and then develop over time, understanding how conflict can be a pioneer in social change and how conflict resolution occurs. This journal uses a method of writing using in-depth literature studies that depart from books and issues that rise to the surface. This journal finds one conclusion that the pattern of conflict of interest is always repeated and often occurs in developing countries. This is due to the forms of conflict drivers with the same pattern and always occur in society, resulting in the escalation of conflict.

Strategi Percepatan Penghapusan Kemiskinan Ekstrem di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah: Pendekatan Konvergensi dan Inovasi Program
Authors: Dian Astuti
Published: October 2024

Extreme poverty in Central Sulawesi remains a significant challenge that demands an integrated strategy. This study evaluates the effectiveness of government programs, including Gercep Gaskan Berdaya and PADUNGKU, in accelerating the eradication of extreme poverty. Secondary data from the 2023 P3KE Update and the 2024 BPS were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings reveal a 0.64% reduction in extreme poverty during the 2023-2024 period, with notable declines in Donggala (0.95%) and Poso (0.93%). The "Gercep Gaskan Berdaya" program, which combines cash assistance and entrepreneurial training, successfully increased the income of impoverished households; however, aid distribution often faced challenges in areas with limited access. Despite these efforts, Parigi Moutong and Poso districts still have the highest numbers of people living in extreme poverty, indicating a need for program intensification. While existing programs have shown positive outcomes, long-term success heavily depends on improving infrastructure access, enhancing cross-sectoral coordination, and providing better basic services. The convergence and innovation of socio-economic programs, along with improved infrastructure access, have proven effective, although challenges persist in remote areas. A comprehensive approach and enhanced coordination are required to meet the target of eradicating extreme poverty by 2024.

Published: October 2024

Resumen La sepsis neonatal es considerada una infección sistémica, la cual puede ser producida por agentes bacterianos, virales o mitóticos. Esta patología representa una amenaza con alta morbididad y es considerada potencialmente mortal para los recién nacidos, en especial para aquellos que son considerados pre termino o con bajo peso al momento del nacimiento. Se ha logrado demostrar que los principales agentes etiológicos y microrganismos patógenos causantes de la enfermedad son el Estreptococos del grupo B, E. coli, y L. monocytogenes. La sepsis neonata es una patología difícil de diagnosticar, ya que no se ha logrado identificar un método practico y especifico, por lo que se deben llevar a cabo distintas pruebas para determinar si se presenta la infección en el neonato, lo cual puede llevar a retrasos en el diagnóstico temprano y oportuno. Ante esta patología se ha demostrado el éxito terapéutico con dos principales tratamientos para combatir la enfermedad, la primera y más importante es el uso de antibióticos para tratar directamente la infección y tratamiento sintomático y de soporte.

Published: October 2024

Resumen La endofibrosis arteria ilíaca es una condición vascular no ateroesclerótica que produce reducción de la perfusión de las extremidades inferiores. Es una patología que, en su mayoría, afecta a pacientes jóvenes y sanos. Debido a que este grupo etario no presenta factores de riesgo cardiovasculares, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento usualmente se realizan de forma tardía. En la actualidad, el abordaje terapéutico debe ser multidisciplinario, en conjunto con fisiatría, psicología y rehabilitación. El tratamiento se basa desde el manejo conservador hasta la intervención quirúrgica abierta con realización de bypass iliofemoral. En este artículo, se presenta un caso clínico de un masculino de 40 años, ciclista profesional durante 9 años, quien refiere claudicación intermitente progresiva bilateral de miembros inferiores en los últimos 2 años, que llega a presentar dolor de reposo a nivel de pantorrillas. Posterior al estudio angiotomográfico y valoración hemodinámica vascular, se realiza derivación iliofemoral bilateral con prótesis de dacrón. Se egresa sin ninguna complicación, con mejoría total de sus síntomas isquémicos; por lo que se le da seguimiento periódico en la consulta vascular.

Authors: Sandoval Luis Raúl , Rojas Jiménez Sofía , Sandoval Ana Laura , Volio González Michelle
Published: October 2024

Resumen La cirugía aórtica es un procedimiento que ha venido en evolución en los últimos años. Sin embargo, continúan existiendo complicaciones devastadoras a nivel de médula espinal que son limitantes para la realización segura de la misma. La patogénesis de la lesión medular puede presentarse durante la cirugía o posterior a esta. Es multifactorial, pudiendo presentarse como una reducción temporal o permanente del flujo sanguíneo espinal. La isquemia medular y la paraplejía concomitante son de las complicaciones más temidas de la reparación endovascular de aneurisma aórtico-torácica. Ante esto se debe realizar una detección temprana debido a que permite el inicio de medidas anti-isquémicas antes de llegar a infarto medular y paraplejía permanente, utilizando monitoreos potenciales somatosensoriales evocados (SSEP) y/o motores evocados (MEP). Estos procedimientos ofrecen al equipo quirúrgico una oportunidad de revertir la causa de la hipoperfusión, maximizando la perfusión medular y revirtiendo la injuria espinal. Existen múltiples protocolos que se enfocan en optimizar la perfusión medular y disminuir las demandas metabólicas y de oxígeno además de promover una detección rápida de déficit neurológico. Para esto, las guías internacionales actuales mencionan diferentes estrategias de prevención, donde por ejemplo para el caso de TEVAR, se recomiendan evitar períodos de hipotensión y el uso selectivo de drenaje fluido cerebroespinal en pacientes de alto riesgo de lesión isquémica espinal.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) merupakan penyakit eksantema dengan manifestasi utama berupa erupsi ruam makulopapular pada tangan, kaki, dan mulut disertai demam dengan berbagai komplikasi berbahaya yang dapat timbul pada anak usia di bawah lima tahun. Indonesia memiliki siklus wabah HFMD berulang menjadikannya sebagai penyakit re-emergensi yang perlu diwaspadai. Penulis melakukan pencarian sistematis penelitian pada 3 database, yaitu Pubmed, Wiley Online Library, dan Science Direct, dengan kata kunci “Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease”, “enterovirus”, and “therapy” yang dipublikasikan hingga Oktober 2023. Sebanyak 791 penelitian masuk dalam analisis dan kualitasnya dinilai menggunakan Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Tata laksana komprehensif HFMD yang tersedia hingga kini mencakup upaya pencegahan, terapi, dan manajemen komplikasi. Penelitian terkini belum berhasil mengungkap pengobatan antivirus definitif, sehingga penatalaksanaan bersifat simtomatik, diikuti isolasi serta perawatan mulut dan kulit yang baik. Pada kasus berat, intervensi kasus kritis meliputi terapi antivirus, imunoglobulin intravena, serta dukungan sistem pernapasan dan sirkulasi darah. Vaksin enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) yang dinonaktifkan terbukti menjadi pilihan paling efektif dan hemat biaya untuk perlindungan jangka panjang terhadap HFMD terkait EV-A71. Namun, evolusi epidemiologi enterovirus menyebabkan intervensi yang hanya didasarkan satu agen tidak memadai, diperlukan pengembangan tata laksana definitif dan vaksin multivalen yang efektif.

Urbanization, economic growth and income inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: KOUADIO Konan Abogni Augustin , KOFFI Mounoufie Valery
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyse the role of economic growth in the relationship between urbanisation and income inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methodologically, we apply the generalised method of moments to a sample of 33 Sub-Saharan African countries. The findings indicate that economic growth mitigates the exacerbating effect of urbanisation on income inequality. On the other hand, inflation and the labour force participation rate are sources of income inequality.  Thus, urbanisation will only reduce income inequality in Africa if it stimulates economic growth.  In terms of implication, the authorities must strengthen their strategies in favour of the sanitation of urban areas. Smart city strategies can also be adopted to make cities more inclusive.

Authors: Utami Anita Dewi , Suwarman Ramdhan Fazrianto , Rufiana Intan Sari , Ayufauziah Nur
Published: October 2024

The Mathematics Olympiad serves as a competitive platform for students, characterized by its highly challenging problems. However, a significant issue arises due to the limitations faced by both students and their mentors (teachers) in adequately preparing for such competitions. To facilitate self-directed learning and provide access to a diverse range of practice problems, it is imperative to design an educational application that can be accessed anytime and anywhere. This would maximize time efficiency and enhance students' learning skills in preparation for the Mathematics Olympiad. The proposed application, Math Universe, serves as a medium for students to engage in Self-Directed Learning. Accordingly, the objective of this research is to design Math Universe to effectively and efficiently support students in their preparation for the Mathematics Olympiad. The research employs the Plomp design and development methodology, which includes: 1) Initial investigation phase (situation analysis), 2) Design phase (application design development), 3) Realization phase (application development), and 4) Testing, evaluation, and revision phase (assessment of the developed application's effectiveness). The findings indicate that the design and functionality of the Math Universe application can be optimized to enhance students' effectiveness and efficiency in preparing for the Mathematics Olympiad. Trial results demonstrate that intuitive interface design aspects and easy navigation contribute positively to user experience. Furthermore, the content presented is relevant and comprehensible to students from diverse backgrounds, facilitating interaction and understanding of the material.

Authors: Siregar Roswani , Subagiharti Heni , Handayani Diah Syafitri , Sutarno Sutarno , Hasibuan Ahmad Laut , Barus Efendi
Published: October 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a system that is developed and continues to innovate in various fields with the aim of making human work easier. As the name suggests, artificial intelligence is made to resemble human intelligence and is applied in various fields. Currently Artificial Intelligence technology is also used in the field of education, including teaching foreign languages. This article, which is based on a short field study, aims to find out student references regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in English Language Teaching (ELT) can be seen as both a benefit and a potential threat, depending on how it is used and implemented. On the one hand, AI technology has the potential to make language learning more efficient and effective, by providing personalized feedback and practice exercises tailored to the different student’s needs and learning styles. The research method used to determine this phenomenon is a qualitative descriptive research method with questionnaire data collection techniques by asking questions that can be answered directly by respondents according to their respective answers. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to play an important role in helping students in various tasks in learning English, i.e finding out the the meaning and definition of words, translating sentences, improving grammar, etc with reliable and timely results. However, on the other hand, AI has an impact on student abilities. Students are increasingly dependent on AI assistance in learning, thereby reducing its role in critical thinking and using memory
A different kind of pressure: The cumulative effects of displacement and return in Afghanistan
Authors:   Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC)
Published: October 2024

Displacement in Afghanistan is both a historical and contemporary phenomenon. One in four Afghans have been displaced, and conflict triggered 372,000 new internal displacements in 2018. Attempted peace talks have failed to prevent civilian casualties reaching unprecedented levels. Despite this bleak picture, however, more than 3.3 million Afghans have returned from abroad since 2012. This study, based on a non-representative survey with 120 displaced Afghans in Kabul, Herat and Nangarhar provinces, examines the drivers of displacement within and across borders, and explores obstacles and opportunities in terms of durable solutions for internally displaced people (IDPs) and returnees from abroad.
Eight months after Idai: Chronology of displacement, humanitarian needs and challenges going forward
Authors:   Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC)
Published: October 2024

This report looks at the patterns, trends and impacts of internal displacement eight months after the passage of Cyclone Idai in Mozambique between the 4th and the 15th of March, from the initial emergency response phase to a longer-term recovery phase. It looks at different living conditions and how people moved from different sites over time, how humanitarian needs reported by IDPs changed, and the challenges going forward, as well as prospects for durable solutions. This analysis, a collaboration between IDMC and IOM, comes at a crucial time as the country moves forward in recovery and risk reduction efforts to prevent another disaster with the upcoming arrival of the rain and cyclone season.
Tired of running: Repeated displacement and premature returns in South Sudan
Authors:   Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC)
Published: October 2024

Following decades of civil war, a comprehensive peace agreement and the subsequent independence of South Sudan in 2011 prompted as many as two million refugees to return to the world’s youngest country. Many, however, were displaced again when internal conflict erupted in December 2013. A temporary reprieve following the signing of a peace agreement in 2015 enabled some to return to their homes, but conflict soon flared up again. A revitalised peace agreement was signed in 2018, but it is unclear whether the latest wave of returns will this time prove sustainable. This study, which forms part of IDMC’s 'Invisible Majority' thematic series, examines the relationship between internal displacement, cross-border movements and durable solutions in South Sudan. It is based on more than 200 interviews in Bentiu and Juba.
Assessing the economic impacts of internal displacement - Conceptual Framework
Authors:   Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC)
Published: October 2024

Uncovering the hidden cost of internal displacement would help make the case for increased country-led investments in risk reduction and durable solutions. Past studies have assessed the impact of international migration and refugee flows on work and other singular dimensions such as health or education. Others have attempted to assess the socioeconomic impact of cross-border or internal displacement at the local level. However, a systematic, quantitative estimate of the overall impact of internal displacement on an economy has yet to be made, and doing so requires new concepts and methods. This document, as part of IDMC's thematic series "The ripple effect", introduces a new conceptual framework to assess the economic impact of internal displacement comprehensively across dimensions, time, countries and displacement contexts.
"Nothing to put in your mouth": Durable solutions to drought displacement in Ethiopia
Authors:   Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC)
Published: October 2024

Based on two hundred and nineteen interviews and qualitative methodologies conducted in July 2019 in the Somali region of Ethiopia, this study examines the drivers of displacement in pastoralist communities of the arid and semi-arid lowland areas of Ethiopia. Following on from the catastrophic droughts that occurred between 2015 and 2017, and in which pastoralists in the region lost up to 80 per cent of their livestock, we found that many still live in camps reliant on aid up to four years later. The report findings show that displacement triggered by drought in Ethiopia is a protracted but short-range issue, and that those displaced prefer to integrate in their new locations rather than to return home.
Displacement in paradise: Hurricane Dorian slams the Bahamas
Authors:   Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC)
Published: October 2024

Hurricane Dorian, the strongest hurricane on record to hit the Bahamas, made landfall on Elbow Cay, east of Grand Abaco, on 1 September 2019. For three days, the category 5 storm battered Abaco and Grand Bahama, causing catastrophic damage and destroying houses that could not withstand such intensities. The storm surge of Dorian combined with a so-called 'king tide' generating a massive tidal wave up to seven metres high that flooded the low-lying islands. The destruction led to widespread displacement but minority groups, including LGBTIQ+ and unregistered Haitians, were unevenly impacted by the storm. Displacement following Hurricane Dorian was exceptional for the region, both in terms of the scale and patterns of movement. This study is based on a qualitative methodology, with 41 semi-structured interviews as well as participant observation. The report focuses on displacement geographically and by population groups, while examining the resulting obstacles to durable solutions on the hurricane-prone islands.
The 2019-2020 Australian bushfires: from temporary evacuation to longer-term displacement
Authors:   Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC)
Published: October 2024

Bushfires that raged across Australia triggered around 65,000 new displacements between July 2019 - February 2020. They also destroyed more than 3,100 homes, potentially leading to longer-term displacement for thousands of people. This report presents the first comprehensive figures and analysis of the patterns of displacement associated with the 2019 - 2020 bushfire season. It also explores some of the direct impacts of displacement on housing, livelihoods, education, security and health. Covering just the housing needs of those unable to return to their homes for a year is estimated to cost between $44 million and $52 million (A$60 million and A$72 million). The report examines prospects of durable solutions and provides recommendations for government agencies and aid providers to plan more effectively for future bushfire seasons and other disasters to reduce displacement risk and minimise the negative impacts associated with displacement.
Yemen: Urban displacement in a rural society
Authors:   Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC)
Published: October 2024

War and displacement in Yemen are not primarily urban in nature. Despite the amount of media attention given to key urban battles such as the siege of Taiz and the battle for Hodeidah, nearly 70 per cent of conflict and displacement takes place in rural areas. This paper, part of the 'UnSettlement: Urban displacement in the 21st century' thematic series, examines the urban and rural characteristics of displacement in Yemen, including the push and pull factors in both areas. It provides an overview of historical urbanisation trends in the country, and a rural-urban disaggregation of large conflict and displacement datasets from ACLED and IOM. It examines rural and urban displacement patters and assesses host conditions and the status of basic services in urban centres. It looks specifically at the conditions in the cities of Taiz and Aden, as they both create internal displacement and shelter IDPs. It also analyses future intentions and preferences for durable solutions along urban and rural lines.
The displacement continuum: the relationship between internal displacement and cross-border movement in seven countries
Authors:   Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC)
Published: October 2024

The twentieth of June is World Refugee Day, dedicated to raising awareness of the situation of refugees. There are nearly twice as many internally displaced people (IDPs) as there are refugees, but there is no International Day of Internal Displacement. To bring attention to the invisible majority of displaced people, IDMC is investigating the relationship between internal displacement and cross-border movement. We do not know how many refugees were internally displaced previously, or how many refugees and migrants become displaced when they return to their country of origin. This is a major knowledge gap which IDMC is seeking to address by painting a more comprehensive picture of the entire displacement continuum through in-depth primary research. This report is based on the results of seven studies conducted in Afghanistan, Colombia, Iraq, Myanmar, Nigeria, South Sudan and Yemen between 2018 and 2019. In doing these studies, we conducted more than 1,470 survey interviews with IDPs, refugees and returning refugees, complementing our findings with qualitative data shared by research participants and key informants.
Even if they reopened the airports: Barriers to cross-border movement expose Yemenis to repeated internal displacement
Authors:   Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC)
Published: October 2024

Building upon years of instability, the escalation of the war in Yemen in 2015 plunged the country into the worst humanitarian crises of recent times. More than 80 per cent of the population is in need of aid, and millions have been internally displaced. Given the scale of the crisis, comparatively few Yemenis have sought refuge abroad. This study – part of the our Invisible Majority thematic series – seeks to better understand the relationship between internal displacement and cross-border movement. It explores the emigration environment and migration interface within which aspirations and abilities for cross- border movement are defined, and assesses the return outlook of displaced Yemenis.
Impact and experience - Assessing severity of conflict displacement
Authors:   Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC)
Published: October 2024

The experience of internally displaced people (IDPs) and their resulting vulnerability, differs significantly across displaced populations. In some contexts, IDPs are exposed to high levels of violence, malnutrition and disease in overcrowded and unsanitary displacement camps. In other cases, they are provided with free social housing and priority access to services. To call attention to situations of particular concern, highlight key threats to IDPs’ safety and wellbeing, and better measure progress towards finding solutions to internal displacement, IDMC now aims to complement displacement figures with an assessment of displacement severity. By the end of 2019, IDMC aims to provide information on the severity of displacement in about 50 countries affected by conflict displacement. This report outlines the methodology adopted.
"Before you were born, your mother ran": Displacement and disillusion in south-east Myanmar
Authors:   Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC)
Published: October 2024

Myanmar has been making headlines for its apparent campaign of ethnic cleansing against the country’s Rohingya. Violent attacks against civilians have forced over 745,000 people to flee into Bangladesh since August 2017. Given the scale of the Rohingya crisis, the rest of the country is receiving little attention. This study – part of the our Invisible Majority thematic series – seeks to analyse the relationship between internal displacement, cross-border movements and durable solutions in south-east Myanmar. Based on 163 interviews with internally displaced people (IDPs), returning refugees and refugees conducted by the Border Consortium, the report examines drivers of displacement, priorities and preconditions for voluntary return, and obstacles and opportunities for durable solutions.

Water flooding is a commonly used development method in oilfields, and the water cut of the output fluid of oil wells gradually increases with the increase of injected water in water wells. Due to the presence of natural surfactants such as gum, asphaltene and organic acid in crude oil, it is easy to form a high strength viscoelastic oilwater interfacial film and a stable emulsion. To facilitate the storage and transportation of crude oil, it is necessary to demulsify the crude oil emulsion. In this paper, the CQ crude oil was taken as the research object, and the effects of demulsifier type, concentration, demulsifier temperature and oil-water properties on the viscoelasticity of oil-water interfacial film were investigated by using rheometer and then the demulsification mechanism was explored. The results show that the lower the interfacial film strength, the better the demulsifier. In addition, with the increase of demulsifier concentration and temperature, the oil-water interfacial viscoelasticity decreases and the interfacial film strength further decreases. In general, the demulsification effect will be significantly improved with the increase of demulsifier concentration and temperature, and the dehydration effect will be better. The research results can provide theoretical guidance for the field application of demulsification.

This paper presents information on the machinability of Kempili (Lithocrapus ewyckii (Koth.) Rehd.) and Ubar (Syzygium sp.) for different machining operations at 14 % and 10 % moisture content. Both species are lesser-known species from the Borneo forest of Indonesia. The basic testing procedures followed ASTM D-1666-87. The machining operations applied were planing, shaping, boring, turning, and sanding. The surface quality for determining the machinability were defect percentage and defect-free value. Ten replications were used for each machining property and randomly collected from flat-sawn boards for each wood. The results showed that fuzzy grain defects were found for both species, resulting from all machining operations. Decreasing moisture content from 14 % to 10 % tended to increase the defect-free value of the wood. Wood species significantly affected the machinability of Kempili and Ubar wood in planing, shaping, boring, and sanding operations. Moisture content only significantly affected the machinability of both wood species in turning operation. Based on their defectfree values in all investigated machining operations, both Kempili and Ubar wood have good machining quality. Therefore, both species are recommended as raw materials for producing various wood-based products such as furniture, molding, leaf doors, dowels, or laminated wood.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in various fields has attracted a lot of attention in the past year, especially after the release of ChatGPT, a freely available intelligent online system. Several advanced software solutions that incorporate AI are becoming available on a larger scale and could help improve every aspect of our lives. The use of AI also has great potential in various areas of the woodworking industry. In the design phase, AI-supported design software can facilitate the development of new ideas and shorten 3D modelling processes. In the construction phase, AI plays a crucial role in optimising construction details using techniques such as topology optimisation, numerical simulations and generative design. The use of AI can also be applied in the production process, where it automates the creation of CNC machining programs and optimises machining methods. Quality control is improved through AI monitoring of machines and surface quality using advanced image analysis and machine vision systems. In addition, AI contributes to predicting production needs and facilitates the maintenance of production machines. AI can be used in market analysis and enables companies to make informed decisions. It helps in the strategic planning of marketing activities and the sales process by providing insights derived from comprehensive market analyses. AI could help in creating marketing materials, communicating with customers, managing social networks and websites, analysing competitors, predicting demand, etc. The use of AI could enable major technological improvements with efficiency gains and innovation in various perational areas, but also causes some concerns about trust in these new systems and fear of being replaced by machines. AI should be seen as a tool to improve our productivity and performance, automate certain tasks and transform existing jobs. There is a need for ethical oversight, policy decisions and regulations to ensure fair treatment of all humans.
