Authors: Maryam Siti
Published: October 2024

Majlis Ta’lim sangat berkaitan sekali dengan masyarakat dimana di dalam sebuah  Majlis  Ta’lim  akan  terjadi  interaksi  sosial  antara  penceramah  dengan jamaah,  maupun  jamaah  antar  jamaah.  di  dalam  lingkungan  masyarakat setempat pengajian hanya dihadiri sekumpulan ibu-ibu atau emak-emak  yang sebetulnya dalam penerimaan terutama pencerahan kurang optimal dan maksimal.  Namun tidak terjadi pada majlis ta’lim Nurul Jannah yang ada di komplek perumahan Kelapa dua Tangerang, yang kenyataannya menjadi keuntungan terbesar hadirnya pengajian dengan pengajaran pendidikan Islam mampu merefleksikan norma kehidupan beragama yang baik dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yaitu meliputi observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini bahwasanya pengajian dengan pengajaran pendidikan Islam berdampak kepada lingkungan masyarakat, lingkungan komplek terutama berdampak pada prilaku ibu-ibu majlis ta’lim sebagai orangtua, harus memberikan perhatian terhadap perilaku anak dan peduli terhadap pendidikan anak. Selanjutnya pihak majlis ta’lim telah memberikan layanan yang humanis melalui pengajar atau pemberi materi sehingga proses pembelajaran pun akan berjalan secara kondusif dan kualitasnya pun meningkat. Tidak hanya itu peran majlis ta’lim tapi juga pendidikan Islam yang disampaikan turut meningkatkan kedisiplinan dan pemahaman tentang keislaman.

Authors: Fauzan M. Fauzan Abdallah , Burhan Asmat , Nova Handayani Rahmaya
Published: October 2024

Background: Pre-operative evaluations, including laboratory assessments, are critical components of surgical preparation, with cesarean sections being no exception. Despite their importance, prior research suggests that 70-90% of routine pre-operative blood tests are unnecessary and frequently exhibit abnormal findings. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of routine pre-operative blood tests in patients undergoing cesarean sections at Banjarnegara Islamic Hospital. Methods: A descriptive quantitative study with a cross-sectional design was conducted in June 2024. The sample comprised 44 patients selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected by observing and recording the results of routine pre-operative blood tests, including erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, leukocytes, and platelets. Findings: The analysis revealed average erythrocyte levels of 3.95 × 10^6/uL, hemoglobin levels of 11.27 g/dL, hematocrit values of 33.06%, leukocyte counts of 12.62 × 10^3/uL, and platelet counts of 250.77 × 10^3/uL. Intra-anesthesia complications were predominantly hypotension (81.8%), while the most common post-anesthesia complication was postoperative nausea and vomiting (54.5%). Conclusions: The findings indicate a significant proportion of routine blood tests fall outside standard reference ranges, though anesthetic complications remain relatively low. These results underscore the need to reassess the necessity of routine blood tests in pre-operative evaluations and highlight potential areas for improving patient outcomes. Recommendations: Future research should explore the clinical implications of these findings and contribute to establishing guidelines for routine pre-operative testing and management of anesthetic complications

Authors: Intania Muthmainnah Sastiyana  , Roro Lintang Suryani  , Murniati
Published: October 2024

Background: Preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing cesarean sections (CS) can significantly impact both psychological well-being and physiological responses, potentially affecting the success of anesthesia. An educational intervention, such as an Operating Room (OR) Tour video, may alleviate anxiety by familiarizing patients with the surgical environment and process. Purpose: To determine the effect of an Operating Room Tour video on pre-anesthetic anxiety levels in CS patients. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental design with a pretest-posttest approach to assess the impact of the video on pre-anesthetic anxiety in 30 CS patients at Cilacap General Hospital. Anxiety levels were measured using the Visual Analog Scale for Anxiety (VAS-A) before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to evaluate the significance of the change in anxiety levels. Results: The findings revealed a significant reduction in anxiety following the video intervention. Prior to the intervention, 43.3% of participants experienced moderate anxiety, while post-intervention, 66.7% reported only mild anxiety. The Wilcoxon test confirmed the significant impact of the OR Tour video on reducing pre-anesthetic anxiety (p = 0.011, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The use of an Operating Room Tour video is an effective strategy to reduce preoperative anxiety in CS patients. This educational intervention could be a valuable addition to pre-anesthesia care, improving patient comfort and potentially contributing to better surgical outcomes.

Published: October 2024

This research aims to determine the relationship between population growth, income inequality and poverty in Indonesia. The research method used is a quantitative approach with panel data regression analysis. This data was obtained through the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and processed using the EViews 12 application. The results of the analysis show that population growth has a significant negative influence on poverty, with a coefficient of -0.195 and a prob of 0.04). On the other hand, income inequality shows a significant positive effect on poverty with a coefficient of 18.558 and a probability of 0.001. Simultaneous hypothesis testing shows that the overall regression model is significant, with an F-statistic value of 11.879 (p = 0.000015). However, only 12.4% of the variation in poverty levels can be explained by population growth and income inequality, while 87.6% is explained by other factors not included in this study.

Malulo Tradition in the Wedding Ceremony of Tolaki People in North Kolaka Perspective of Urf
Authors: Febrianti Febrianti , Abubakar Achmad , Abdul Syatar  , Kurniati Kurniati , Syarif Muhammad Fazlurrahman
Published: October 2024

Malulo, a traditional dance of the Tolaki people, is integral to various religious and social activities such as harvests, weddings, and aqiqah. This research explores the cultural significance of the Malulo dance in Kecamatan Lambai, Kabupaten Kolaka Utara, and examines its alignment with Islamic values, particularly regarding interactions between men and women. The study addresses whether the physical contact in the dance contradicts Islamic teachings and offers solutions to preserve the tradition while adhering to religious principles. Using a qualitative approach, interviews with religious leaders, cultural practitioners, and community members were conducted, alongside an analysis of Islamic legal perspectives on urf (customs). The findings show that while Malulo fosters community cohesion and has deep cultural roots, the practice of hand-holding between non-mahram men and women is seen as inconsistent with Islamic teachings. The research suggests modifications, such as separating men and women during the dance, to preserve the tradition without violating religious values. The study's originality lies in its attempt to reconcile a local cultural tradition with Islamic jurisprudence, offering a balanced solution that respects both heritage and religious principles. This approach highlights the broader importance of harmonizing cultural practices with religious norms, particularly in multi-ethnic and multi-religious societies, and could serve as a model for resolving similar conflicts elsewhere.

Authors:   Jose Rizal Memorial State University, Felisilda Maria Dolor
Published: October 2024

Mental health had been a growing concern while mental illness had been increasing in number worldwide. The enactment of the Mental Health Law or RA 11036 in 2018 hoped to bring about better delivery of mental health services as well as uphold the rights of patients. This led the proponent to investigate the implementation and service delivery status of the mental health law in the province of Zamboanga del Norte. Employing a descriptive-qualitative design, the study assessed the implementation of the various government agencies on the Mental Health Law as well as the delivery of mental health services in the province of Zamboanga del Norte. There were 50 mental health professionals interviewed through phone, messenger, and Google form using a structured interview guide. Data gathered through the interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results revealed that most of the government agencies were able to implement the law rating from 35.72% to 100% of the implementation. Eleven themes emerged such as poor knowledge about the mental health law, no proper seminars/training about mental health law, mental health is not a priority program, lack of coordination with the various agencies involved, difficulty managing mental health crises, non-inclusive mental health program, insufficient mental health services, multitasking of mental health providers, lack of mental health professionals, stigmatized attitude towards mental illness and support from LGU. It was revealed in this study that the implementation of the mental health law in the province is not fully implemented. Furthermore, the delivery of mental health services is also insufficient. As a recommendation, the primary implementing agency must exert more effort in cascading the law to all implementing agencies and mental health professionals down to the barangay level for the law to be understood and implemented. In addition, mental health services should be improved as well as the inclusion of a mental health facility.

Published: October 2024

This study examines the psychosocial factors, longevity factors, and length of stay of millennial Filipino seafarers toward their maritime careers. A sample of 300 millennial seafarers were selected through purposive and convenience sampling techniques. The research instrument consisted of three sections: 1) assessing psychosocial factors; 2) evaluating longevity factors; and, 3) length of stay in the seafaring profession. Due to COVID-19 constraints, respondents were asked to answer the questionnaire via an online. Results indicated that millennial seafarers generally experience positive psychosocial conditions onboard, with high mean scores for psychological support, civility and respect, and involvement and influence. However, areas like recognition and reward, and growth and development showed slightly lower scores. In terms of longevity factors, all indicators were agreed upon by the respondents with high mean scores on empowered decision and workplace enjoyment factors. Findings have further revealed that fair reward systems and valued opinions have no significant influence on career duration, though with very small positive correlations on length of sea experience. Statistical analysis using Pearson correlation revealed significant positive relationships between psychosocial factors and longevity factors. Specifically, recognition and reward, growth and development, and organizational culture had strong correlations with fair reward systems. Multiple linear regression identified workload management, workplace enjoyment, and fair reward system as significant predictors of the length of sea service. The above findings have entailed a number of measures to be undertaken by concerned stakeholders. This includes strict compliance to a humane and acceptable levels of duties and responsibilities onboard, fixed hours of work based on the IMO guidelines, a well-crafted program that highlights provisions on proper workload management directly addressing the working conditions of Filipino seafarers, promotion of social and recreational activities onboard to guarantee workplace enjoyment of Filipino seafarers, and a reward system that maximizes their benefits in exchange of the hard work and perils they undergo in fulfilling the demands of a seafaring work.

Authors:   Department of Economics, Jamshedpur Co-operative College, Jamshedpur, India, Lugun Akshay Ashit
Published: October 2024

The banking sector has been substantially changed by the fast development of digital technology. The effect of digitalisation on general financial services, client contacts, and banking operations is investigated in this article. In banking, digitalisation has brought about the automation of formerly manual procedures, therefore improving client happiness, efficiency, and operating expenses while lowering running costs. Offering 24/7 access to financial services from anywhere in the globe, services such internet banking, smartphone apps, and digital payment systems have transformed the way consumers connect with banks. Furthermore, digitalisation has helped fintech to emerge, therefore undermining established banking structures and encouraging more innovation and competitiveness. Advanced technologies such artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and blockchain have been embraced by banks to guarantee better security in transactions, provide tailored services, and help to guide decisions. Although digitalisation has many advantages, it also brings problems like cybersecurity threats, data privacy issues, and the necessity of large technological infrastructure investment. This study also addresses its function in financial inclusion by enabling underprivileged groups to use banking services. Banks have to strike a mix between innovation and regulatory compliance, risk control, and client confidence as the digital revolution unfolds. The results of this research imply that banks must embrace digital transformation if they are to stay competitive in an economy becoming more and more digital and also meet the changing demands of tech-savvy customers.

Introduction: The "Happy Program" implemented by AMCO across various schools in Latin America has been the subject of a mixed-methods study assessing its impact on the socio-emotional competencies of primary school students. The study focuses on the perceptions of both teachers and students, integrating quantitative and qualitative techniques for a comprehensive evaluation. Methods: Mixed-methods design to thoroughly assess the impacts of the Happy Program on socio-emotional competencies among primary school students. This design incorporates both quantitative and qualitative approaches to provide a multi-dimensional understanding of the program’s effects. Teacher’s study, this segment involves a survey distributed to 57 teachers, designed to capture their perceptions before and after the implementation of the Happy Program. The survey measures changes in their views on students' socio-emotional skills and the overall classroom environment. Teachers are asked to rate the program’s influence on student behavior and emotional management, and to comment on areas for improvement, such as activity variety and family engagement. Parallel to the teacher survey, a larger scale study surveys 1,526 students. This study aims to gather direct feedback from the students about their experiences with the Happy Program. Students respond to questions about their emotional understanding, how they manage emotions, and their interactions with peers and family members as influenced by the program. This data is crucial for measuring the perceived effectiveness of the program from the students’ perspective. Findings/Results: Teachers reported a generally positive impact of the program on students, noting enhancements in key skills such as self-regulation and empathy. However, they also identified areas for improvement, such as activity diversification and greater family engagement. The results detail an increase in emotional understanding and management skills among students, with 76% of teachers observing significant improvements in these areas following the program's implementation.

Authors: Kagarise Warren
Published: October 2024

Emoji offer a way to convey information quickly in a visually appealing format, engender positive feelings among audiences, appear more relatable in conversations and encourage user engagement. Emoji offer a free, entertaining way to jump into the conversation but the low barrier to use does not always mean low risk. For public agencies, emoji use must balance considerations related to clarity, accessibility and representation. With more than 3,700 emoji now available and audience attitudes changing, understanding emoji use in official communications is growing in importance. This paper examines how public agencies can use audience data, best practices and historical context to better connect with the public through effective emoji use.

Shift-left in your fight against supply chain fraud
Authors: Katz Norman
Published: October 2024

Supply chain operations rely upon various supply chain software systems, centred around the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Traditional and still widely utilised and relied-upon audit techniques have addressed the issue of finding problems — particularly fraud — typically too late after they have happened. Inasmuch as the ERP system is considered the business system of record, it may not be the system of origination for every supply chain transaction, meaning that fraud examination needs to look beyond the ERP system and notably before the ERP general ledger. The closer to a transaction’s point of origin the unusual behaviour can be detected, the sooner the outlier issue can be fixed, and ideally averted in the future with the right corrective actions taken then and there. This all helps to prevent the problem — the bad data, the offending transaction, and possibly the incorrect goods — from travelling through the supply chain and manifesting into something worse. Ramifications can include knock-on effects to data analysis, impacts to decisions, passing bad information to supply chain partners, conveying the wrong goods and material effects on financial statements. This paper presents a supply chain perspective that reveals just how much control an enterprise really does have over its supply chain transactions, showcases how reactive fraud discovery methodologies remain firmly in place, and offers a more proactive business model that leverages what most companies already have to improve internal controls and decrease incidences of fraud.

Regulation of Artificial Intelligence in India: Difficulties and Factors to be Considered
Authors: Ariffa
Published: October 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various sectors, particularly healthcare, by improving processes, enhancing efficiency, and driving economic growth. In India, the healthcare system faces significant challenges, including inadequate access to quality care, especially in rural areas, and a severe shortage of skilled medical professionals. Despite having world-class hospitals that bolster medical tourism, India struggles with disparities in healthcare access and affordability. AI has the potential to address these issues by improving access to high-quality care, reducing the burden on healthcare professionals, and enabling personalized treatments on a large scale. The Indian government is actively working to integrate AI into the healthcare system, as demonstrated by initiatives like the National Health Stack and the National Digital Health Blueprint. These policies aim to create a digital infrastructure that facilitates data sharing and supports innovation in the private sector. Additionally, collaborations between government bodies, technology companies, and healthcare providers are accelerating the development and implementation of AI-driven solutions. For example, NITI Aayog's partnerships with Microsoft and Forus Health focus on early disease detection, while the Maharashtra government is working with Wadhwani AI to enhance rural healthcare. These efforts highlight AI's potential to transform India's healthcare system, making it more efficient, accessible, and affordable, ultimately improving public health outcomes and reducing poverty related to healthcare costs.

ESG outcomes and measures are gaining increased attention due to the rising momentum of policies. ESG Disclosure acts as a representative measure of an organization's dedication to sustainability and exceptional management. Despite the increasing importance of ESG in the business and commercial sector, there is currently no formal regulation in India that defines ESG compliance. The compliance with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards in India is based on many legal sources. The paper examines the development of regulatory rules for firms in India regarding ESG throughout time and predicts the future legislation in this field.

Women in India have demonstrated their abilities in the workplace. However, their success is rooted in a history of struggle and the pursuit of freedom within traditional social structures.  Despite their evolving roles in the workforce, women have also maintained their commitment to traditional household responsibilities. In the workplace, individuals have encountered significant stress, however they persistently strive to achieve their desired professional path in the current period. Stress is an inevitable aspect that affects every facet of workers. The majority of women have been seeking a way to alleviate tension. By examining the intersection of traditional expectations and modern aspirations, this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complexities faced by working women in India. Through interviews and case studies, the researchers hope to shed light on the ways in which women navigate societal norms while striving for professional success. While it is important to understand the challenges faced by working women, it is equally crucial to recognize that solutions may not always be transferable across different cultural contexts. Additionally, focusing solely on individual experiences may overlook systemic barriers that perpetuate gender inequality in the workplace. Ultimately, the goal is to empower women to overcome barriers and achieve their full potential in both their careers and personal lives. In this research, an attempt has been made to explore various strategies that women use to overcome stress and how it can be made as a mandatory solution in all companies. This empirical study identifies the various strategies which has been followed by women and the companies in relieving the stress and thereby creating a productive atmosphere.

Background: Conventional approaches for diabetes type-2 management generally fail to consider genetic and environmental variations for each patient. But new developments in personalized medicine and genetics are changing our understanding and approaches for type-2 treatment.  Objective: To explore the effectiveness of a personalized medicine and genomic based interventions for glycemic level, medication compliance and complications in patients with diabetes type-2 compared to usual care. Methodology: A Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) study was performed on total n=400 patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups; the intervention group was treated according to genomic profile while the control group was treated in a routine manner. Glycemic control (HbA1c), treatment compliance, and the rate of complications during September 2023 till June 2024 were considered as primary indicators. An independent sample t-test and a chi-square test were used to analyse the results with the help of the SPSS version 27.0. p≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Those patients who were given individualized management had improved mean HbA1c level by 1 percent as compared to the initial level. 2% compared to 0.6% in the standard care group(p<0.01). Patients in the personalized care group had an 85% compliance to recommended treatment as opposed to the standard care group with only 65% (p<0.001). Also, the number of complications was much fewer in the personalized care group (10%) as compared to the standard care group (20%); (p= 0.02). Conclusion: Personalized medicine and genomics-based interventions offer substantial benefits in the management of Type 2 diabetes, leading to better blood sugar control, higher treatment adherence, and fewer complications. These findings suggest that integrating genomics into diabetes care could improve health outcomes for patients.

After the promulgation of Constitutional Amendment No. 125/2022, which introduced the relevance filter for the special appeal, it started a debate regarding the concept and scope of this institute, especially when considering the hypotheses of presumption of transcendence inserted in the constitutional text itself. In this research, we seek to address the concept of the relevance filter, focusing on a specific presumption hypothesis addressed in the constitutional text: the presumption of relevance in administrative improbity actions. In this area, using the method of bibliographic and documentary review and an interdisciplinary approach, the aim is, then, to justify the presumption of relevance in this specific hypothesis, proposing the recognition, also, of a presumption of transcendence. In this way, an alternative is proposed to support the possibility of setting precedents of a binding nature in administrative improbity actions, as a general rule, as a way of giving greater effectiveness to a liability regime with outstanding importance in the legal system, aiming to achieve fundamental rights.

LARINGOESPASMO EM CRIANÇAS DURANTE PROCEDIMENTOS SOB ANESTESIA
Authors: Sousa Luisa Lobo , Aquino Danilo Marques de , Santos Guilherme Groto
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Laryngospasm can result in partial or complete loss of the patient’s airway. It is an anesthetic emergency caused by an exacerbated reflex that can occur with the closure of the vocal cords, accompanied by the descent of the epiglottis over the laryngeal orifice, and which is still responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients. It is most common in children under two years of age. The management of laryngospasm consists of its prevention, recognition, treatment and post-anesthetic care. Objective: To identify recent approaches to laryngospasm in children during anesthetic procedures in the literature. Methodology: This is a literature review, highlighting laryngospasm in children undergoing anesthetic procedures. Final considerations: Laryngospasm in children during anesthesia is a critical situation. Effective management is important with rapid and appropriate interventions to restore airway patency and ensure adequate oxygenation of the child, avoiding complications. The anesthesiologist must pay attention to the risk factors involved, and an in-depth understanding of these aspects is crucial for doctors, who, together with the surgical team, can guarantee the safety and well-being of pediatric patients during anesthetic procedures.
