Authors: Fitriani Nani , Suparno  , Eryanto Henry , Nurjanah Siti
Published: December 2023

Organizational Commitment is considered as one of the most important factors that emotionally attach employees into organization. Such commitment is needed to reach organizational goals. This study aims at exploring and analyzing the Organizational Commitment among administrative staff at private higher education in Jakarta, one of the biggest cities in Indonesia, that consists of thousands of higher education Institutions. The mothod used in this study is descriptive qualitative. The data was gathered using questionnaire that consist statements represent three types of Organizational Commitment, which are affective, continuance and normative. The results of this research reveal several facts about the organizational commitment of administrative employees. The first fact shows that the organizational commitment of employees who have worked at private higher education for a long time is higher compared to employees who have worked for less. This shows that emotional bonding between employees and the organization are formed over time. This fact is also supported by data that employees who have a longer work period have stronger emotional bonding than employees who have a shorter work period. However, another fact has been revealed is that the work period doesn’t prevent employees to move to other organizations that provide better opportunities and advantages for them.
Metamorfosi del tema dell'esilio: tradizione, rivoluzione e continuità dai romanzi cavallereschi all'Opera dei Pupi
Authors: Carocci Anna
Published: December 2023

La letteratura cavalleresca è connotata da un immaginario di lunga durata, che acco-muna i testi letterari medievali e rinascimentali e le forme di teatro popolare otto-novecentesche (Opera dei Pupi e cunto). Un tratto ricorrente di questo immaginario è il tema dell’esilio, che porta il cavaliere a scontrarsi con il potere e ad andare in terre lontane. Nella prima parte del lavoro si esamineranno le caratteristiche macroscopiche dell’esilio nell’immaginario cavalleresco, cercando di metterne in evidenza gli elementi di continuità e di innovazione. Nella seconda parte ci si con-centrerà su un caso specifico, la storia di Malaguerra, figlio adottivo di Rinaldo, che Giusto Lodico, nella Storia dei paladini di Francia, ha creato mescolando testi e ingredienti tradizionali e che ha conosciuto nuova vita nei copioni e negli spettacoli dell’Opera dei Pupi: un caso particolarmente rappresentativo per osservare la mescolanza di tradizione e innovazione nell’esilio cavalleresco.

More 1980s than the 1980s
Authors: Merlini Mattia
Published: December 2023

This article analyzes the close relation between synthwave music and cinema, focusing on the role played by the former in paradigmatic films and TV series from the 1980s and the 2010s. To the two eras correspond two sets of semantic “associations,” which designate the functions and connotations embodied by synthwave in the cinematic context. The first analysis focuses on the context in which the association between the two protagonists of this affair has taken place for the first time, trying to understand why sci-fi cinema is often privileged when it comes to the association with (proto-)synthwave music—especially soundtracks by Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter, Giorgio Moroder and Vangelis, which are often referred to as main sources of inspiration for contemporary synthwave. The result is a first set of two “first-order associations” between synthwave and sci-fi cinema on the one side, and with the 1980s geek culture on the other. The focus then shifts towards the present times, exploring the ways in which synthwave soundtracks remediate 1980s popular culture by employing two “second-order associations” between synthwave and mediated, hyperreal versions of the 1980s and its products. In particular, the protagonists of this second analysis are the functions of synthwave soundtracks as an “age-synecdoche” and as an “aesthetic mediator,” especially in the series Stranger Things, in the movie It Follows, and in the late works by director Nicolas Winding Refn.

Published: December 2023

Understanding the reproductive behaviors of different wildlife species is essential to unravel their reproductive strategies, ecological adaptations, and conservation requirements. This study delved into the reproductive biology of the sambar deer (Rusa unicolor), with a focus on promoting assisted reproductive technology for wildlife conservation and investigating the reproductive behaviors of male and female sambar deer. The study was conducted at Pusat Konservasi Hidupan Liar (PKHL) Sungkai, Perak, Malaysia. The observation focused on one male and two female sambar deer. Direct observations of the deer were conducted for 14 days in September 2022. The direct observations were performed in the morning (Session 1= 8-10 am), afternoon (Session 2 = 10-12 pm), and evening (Session 3= 3-5 pm), using the instantaneous sampling method. A total of 75 behavior instances were recorded, in which male deer exhibited the most reproductive behavior at 58 instances (77.3% of the total reproductive behavior). Successful mating was observed on day 6, elucidating a crepuscular preference in the male animal in exhibiting reproductive behavior. The female’s reproductive behavior lasted for a short period, from 24 hours for Female 2 and 72 hours for Female 1. In conclusion, there was a distinct behavior between the male and female deer during the rutting season. Understanding the reproductive behavior to estimate the length of estrus can be useful as a non-invasive tool to detect heat and can be considered to improve breeding management and implement assisted reproductive technology.

Indeterminacy is common in practical decision-making circumstances. So the mathematical models of decision making represent the situations in a better way if the parameters are considered as neutrosophic. This article studies a general framework of multi-objective neutrosophic linear fractional programming problem (MONLFPP) and proposes unique approach. The issue's parameters are thought of as triangular neutrosophic numbers. The problem is converted into an equal crisp multi-objective linear programming problem (MOLPP) with the help of variable transformation technique and a ranking function. Fuzzy goal programming is used to solve the MOLPP that has been obtained. Finally, the usefulness of the proposed technique is established using two mathematical models.

This work introduces the framework for selecting architecture in 5G networks, considering various technological, performance, economic, and operational factors. With the emergence of 5G technology, the architecture selection process has become pivotal in meeting diverse requirements for ultra-high-speed connectivity, low latency, scalability, and diverse service demands. The evaluation comprehensively analyses different architecture options, including centralized, distributed, cloud-based, and virtualized architectures. Factors such as network performance, scalability, cost-effectiveness, security, and compatibility are considered within a multi-criteria decision-making framework. Findings reveal each architecture option's diverse strengths and limitations, emphasizing the importance of aligning architectural choices with specific use cases, deployment scenarios, and business objectives. We used the concept of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology to control the various criteria. We used the single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) to deal with vague and inconsistent data. The SVNS is integrated with the hyperSoft set. The proposed methodology uses a single-valued neutrosophic hyperSoft set (SVNHSS) to select the best 5G architecture. We used the VIKOR method as an MCDM method to rank the alternatives. The proposed framework provides stakeholders with a structured methodology to evaluate and prioritize architecture options, facilitating informed decision-making in the complex landscape of 5G network deployments.

One of the subjects that is a challenge in providing education in the 21st century is the learning process in Indonesian language subjects. The Indonesian language learning method in class tends to be monotonous using the lecture method, making students easily bored and not understanding the material. On the other hand, the implementation of learning uses illustrated, easy-to-carry and read comic media which can contain text, images and scenes. This can be an alternative medium for learning Indonesian because it stimulates students to be creative, imaginative and innovative, and encourages them to be independent. This research aims to analyze the benefits of using comics as a medium for learning Indonesian to increase student motivation and learning outcomes. This research uses a literature review method with descriptive analysis techniques. Researchers collected data from previous relevant studies within the last ten years. The results of the research that has been carried out illustrate that the use of comic media in learning Indonesian can significantly increase student motivation and learning outcomes
Why Print Was an Excellent Conceptual Vehicle for my Project ‘Speak Up’
Authors: Drake Katy
Published: January 2024

“I give away my power. In side-stepping, in not calling out the sexist remarks, I act as if they are in the right, I act as if women should not have voices, and I act as if I am not a feminist.” (Pine, 2019. p.188)

Influenced by the continual sharing amongst my friends and colleagues of experiences of sexism, sexual harassment and assault happening to us in public where no one spoke up at the time, my MA major project, ‘Speak Up’, used a feminist methodology to research the reasons why we don’t speak up when these incidents occur. It concluded by both representing these incidents and why they weren’t called out in print-based artworks, with the intention of prompting dialogue.

This paper will explore the hypothesis that print was an excellent ‘conceptual vehicle’ (Harding, 2013. p.107) for this project.

A new Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system approach for fuzzy state feedback controller design and its application to malware propagation on heterogeneous complex network
Authors: Quynh Nguyen Ngoc , Dong Nguyen Phuong , Giang Nguyen Long , Long Hoang Viet
Published: December 2023

Abstract— Nowadays, digital transformation has brought many great changes and is becoming an essential part of real life, however, it also goes along with a considerable likelihood of being targeted in cyberattack. Indeed, the more businesses embrace digital transformation or use online services, the more opportunities hackers have to expand their cyberattacks. Hence, there is an essential need on analyzing and predicting of cyberattack on network systems.  For this aim, we propose to study a controlled fractional network-based SCIRS (Susceptible - Carrier - Infectious - Recovered - Susceptible) malware propagation model and its stabilization problem based on fractional interconnected Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system. A fuzzy state feedback controller is proposed to asymptotically stabilize the unstable malware-free equilibrium of the proposed malware propagation model and then, we establish sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The effectiveness of proposed approach is illustrated by a case study of SCIRS malware propagation model on heterogeneous complex network.

Published: December 2023

The limitation and scarcity of energy sources derived from fossil fuels necessitate the solution of utilizing renewable and replenishable alternative energy sources such as biogas. PT. BTSB (Biro Teknik Sinar Baru) is one of the companies in Jember Regency that has started utilizing biogas energy. However, the utilization of biogas is limited to cooking purposes only. Despite being used only for cooking, biogas can also be utilized as a source of electrical energy.Therefore, in this study, an analysis is conducted to determine the potential of biogas at PT. BTSB that can be utilized as a source of electrical energy. The first step taken in this research was to collect data from PT BTSB Jember regarding biogas which includes: number of cow, target of biogas volume, temperature in digester tank, pressure in digester tank, and methane (CH4) content in biogas. Based on this data, further calculations will be performed for mol of biogas, volume of biogas, electrical energy and power, conversion and production of energy and electrical power, and cost of energy production. Based on the research results, it is known that PT BTSB yields an average of 5.15 m³ of biogas per day and a potential of 57.53 kWh of electrical energy per day. With a cost of around Rp. 23,274,117 per day for each kWh, electricity from PT. BTSB’s biogas proves to be cost-effective. Thus, the biogas energy at PT. BTSB has the potential to be used as a biogas power plant.

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo revisar las diferencias conceptuales de los derechos conexos al periodo de lactancia que adquieren especial relevancia en un contexto de crisis familiar y alimentaria, a propósito de lo cual organismos nacionales e internacionales hacen un llamado a la reflexión y respeto de dichos derechos. Posteriormente, a partir de estos conceptos, se identificarán algunas situaciones en que el goce de estos derechos de forma plena, tanto en la modalidad de trabajo presencial como en las modalidades a distancia, se estarían poniendo en riesgo por la falta de desarrollo y difusión de derechos fundamentales u otros derechos recogidos en la normativa nacional, aunado al desconocimiento de los límites de la facultad directriz de las entidades públicas en un contexto de nuevas formas de trabajo que aún se están consolidando, mayor protagonismo de los derechos fundamentales y nuevos derechos fundamentales en un mundo globalizado y de constante avance tecnológico. Así, a pesar de que no existe escenario en que se pueda concebir la facultad directriz de las entidades públicas como “ilimitada”, así como de la normativa existente, a nivel constitucional y sectorial, a la que haremos referencia, sin perjuicio de los convenios internacionales, resulta indispensable la emisión de un lineamiento por parte del ente rector del sistema de recursos humanos en sector público, en que se incorpore un enfoque de género para la gestión de recursos humanos, garantizando el ejercicio efectivo los derechos del personal en periodo de lactancia, sin limitaciones y a plenitud.

Published: December 2023

In order to determine the extent to which lexical variation denotes the presence of regional boundaries, the current study examines the lexical variation across Brahui dialects in general and, in particular, the three main dialects of the Brahui language: Sarawani, Rakhshani, and Jhalawani. 20 Brahui variations were observed in this investigation. At the  10-word level, the words completely altered (melyparo/melypak/mellof, zeal/horhad/hor, hora/gade, razan/hozar, henak/hen/khary, bestry/lep/bherum, hasol/chat/besat, Tanya/chew, johan Lagery/dost barer/wharery, nary/rumbky/halmyky) and ten graphophonic alterations that affected sound and production (darasm/hrasam, dorogh/dhorogh, darakht/dharakch, yaka/yako, chaik/thaik, dangia/dangy/dary, chofot/thefarot, mahon/mahman, dhun/dhaun, hetiv/thive). The data was collected from 150 middle-aged participants (30 to 50 years old). The Social Identity Theory by Tajfel and Turner (1979) has been applied in this work. To measure the association between linguistic variables and social variables, the Chi-square test of independence was being used. According to the study, there is lexical diversity among the three Brahui dialects. Lexical diversity distinguishes residents of one region from those of another and can confirm the existence of regional boundaries.
Presupposition in the Discourse of Political Reconciliation The Case of Obama's Speech to the Islamic World from Cairo University
Authors: Nasreddeen Hala
Published: December 2023

The current paper investigates the use of presupposition in the discourse of political reconciliation implied in Obama's Cairo University speech. Semantic presupposition triggers are identified in the speech as establishing the taken-for-granted human values shared by the speaker and his audience in Egypt and the Islamic world. Pragmatic presupposition is at play to call upon the common mental images between America and the Islamic world and hence setting a basis for reconciliation as something inevitable between the two conflicting sides (America and The Islamic World).
A THEORETICAL STUDY ON NEGATIVE EXTERNALITIES AND THE FREE-RIDER PROBLEM IN NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FROM ISLAMIC LAW PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Shamshıyev Ozat
Published: December 2023

This paper aims to address two major problems faced throughout the production and management of natural resources, which are negative externality and free-rider problem and to offer some relevant solutions and suggestions for policymakers within the framework of Islamic Law. In this paper, a descriptive research methodology was used to identify the problems, using a conceptual analysis model as a primary method used throughout the research. Deductive reasoning was employed to derive specific predictions from general theories and established Islamic jurisprudence principles. The research findings indicate that the negative externality and free-rider problem extend beyond economic concerns and are intricately linked to the violation of rights within the framework of Islamic law. It is evident that both negative externalities and the free-riding of natural resources can lead to violations of human rights (ḥuqūq al-‘ibād) and community rights (ḥuqūq Allāh). This observation underscores a critical intersection of economic and legal dimensions within an Islamic context. The practical and social implications of the study highlight the need for Islamic economic and environmental policies to align with Islamic law and ethics, prioritize public interest and well-being, and promote responsible resource stewardship and sustainability. Additionally, the study encourages policymakers to adopt a global perspective, recognizing their role as stewards in a broader context. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this paper is the first study on dealing with negative externality and free rider problems from Islamic legal theory point of view.

Authors: Nguyen Sach Thanh  , Le Ngoc Sang  , Le Minh Hang  , Pham Duy Thai  , Ngo Minh Phuong
Published: December 2023

Current research endeavours aimed at enhancing the efficacy of artillery firepower primarily concentrate on the application of auxiliary technologies for calculating and determining firing elements, as well as the exploration of innovative firing methods and regulations to conserve artillery shells. These initiatives do not directly investigate solutions to reduce the time required to determine effective elements for artillery. Consequently, this study proposes a solution that allows quick test firing and conserves rounds when directly testing ground artillery targets via the VRP712/S data transmission systems developed by the group that serves the Viettel defence industry. As a result, the authors have built a software system for quick test firing at the ground artillery company. In contrast to the conventional calculations of previous gunners, the proposed solution has been validated via firing exercises conducted at a ground artillery company utilising 152-D20 guns and 105mm guns, yielding favourable results.

Deep learning has made brilliant achievements in detecting colonic polyps in colonoscopy videos in recent years. However, the detection of colonic polyps in colonoscopy videos is problematic because of the complex environment of the colon and the various shapes of polyps. Therefore, researchers need to spend a lot of time searching for real-time detection systems with good performance and that are suitable for the current equipment and working environment. This paper aimed to investigate the polyp detection potential of the state-of-the-art deep learning model You Only Look Once version 7. We implemented, trained, and tested the polyp detection model using open public datasets: Kvasir-Seg, CVC-ClinicDB, CVC_ColonDB, and ETIS-LaribPolypDB. Validation of the test set utilizing Recall, Precision, F1 Score, and Average Precision (AP) showed that the model achieved the highest performance on CVC-ClinicDB with 83.3% Recall, 80.6% Precision, 81.9% F1 Score, 75% AP@0.5, 51.8% AP and the mean processing time per frame was 20ms. The automatic polyp detection model exhibited good performance, as evidenced by the high detection sensitivity and rapid processing. This model can help endoscopists improve polyp detection performance during the colonoscopy procedure.

Authors: Doan Trung Thanh  , Vu Hai Lang  , Tran Quang Giang  , Bach Nhat Hoang
Published: December 2023

The paper proposes an enhanced solution for improving the accuracy of underwater object positioning based on the Ultra-Short Baseline (USBL) sonar principle. In shallow water regions, complex hydrological phenomena affect the quality of underwater acoustic signal transmission and reception, making it essential to enhance the processing of these signal groups. Through the USBL system model, the paper presents a model capable of adaptively selecting accurate signals amidst the noisy underwater environment. The proposed model is implemented and validated in practice using FPGA hardware in Lan Ha Bay. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm compared to conventional approaches, as it extends the management range and optimizes the transmission power of the system, even in cases of low signal-to-noise ratio.

Nuggets are a product that should be stored frozen, but nuggets are often sold at inappropriate temperatures, causing physical changes such as pale color. Dayak onion extract can improve color appearance and provide added antioxidant value to tilapia nuggets. Quality testing of tilapia nuggets with Eleutherine palmifolia (Dayak onion) extract coatings has been investigated. The objectives of this research are to apply Dayak onion extract to improve the appearance of tilapia nuggets and to obtain tilapia nuggets with Dayak onion extract that meets SNI requirements. The results of organoleptic tests showed that panelists preferred tilapia nuggets with Dayak onion extract over commercial controls and nuggets. The panelists preferred tilapia nuggets with 100 ppm ethanol extract and 10000 ppm aqueous extract, both continued to the SNI conformity test. The sensory evaluation results based on SNI showed that the appearance of the tilapia nuggets with 100 ppm ethanol extract was significantly different. Adding Dayak onion extract to tilapia nuggets affected the lightness and yellowness of tilapia nuggets and gave a 'moderate orange' color to the tilapia nuggets with ethanol and aqueous extract. The selected tilapia nugget with 100 ppm aqueous Dayak onion extract meets all chemical, microbiological, and sensory requirements as SNI 7758:2013 concerning fish nuggets. Tilapia nuggets with Dayak onion extract had a brighter Moderate orange color and were preferred by panelists compared to controls and commercial fish nuggets that were moderate dark orange. Applying Dayak onion extract on tilapia nuggets can improve the appearance and it potentially contains natural antioxidants.

Authors: Rahmawati Dwi , Santika Putri , Rizqi Ainur
Published: January 2024

In Indonesia, the production of baby corn is generally derived from composite varieties because not many varieties have been exclusively bred for baby corn purposes. This study aimed to determine the quantitative and qualitative traits of five local maize varieties to obtain potential parent materials for baby-corn-purposed lines. The research was conducted at the Experimental Field of State Polytechnic Jember using a non-factorial randomized block design with five local maize varieties (‘Kretek Madura’, ‘Bisma’, ‘Provit A1’, ‘Srikandi Kuning’, and ‘Sukmaraga’). The data obtained were analyzed with ANOVA and followed by the Fisher’s Least Significant Difference Test at a 5% error level. The results indicated that all five varieties tested met the standards of Codex for baby corn in terms of diameter, length, and qualitative traits.  In terms of plant height, female flowering, and number of ears, V1 ‘Madura Kretek’ was observed to have the most potential as it had the shortest plant height (173.60 cm), the fastest female flowering (43.64 days), and harvest age (47.67 days), as well as the highest number of ears (2.55). However, this variety showed a lower baby corn weight, which might affect the total yield. It is suggested that the next quest of parent material for the baby-corn-purposed line can be also focused on the weight of the baby corn.

Gandaria fruit wine, however, is still made using a straightforward fermentation procedure, hence the final product is murky. The correct variables for judging fruit wine quality still require a number of optimization procedures to be carried out. The purpose of this research was, therefore, to compare the primary fermentation and aging effects of different commercial yeast types on the physicochemical properties of gandaria fruit wine. Aging for 14 days caused a significant decrease in the characteristics of gandaria wine produced with different commercial yeast types and concentrations compared to the freshly fermented wine. Total sugar, total acidity, vitamin C, total soluble solids, and turbidity were among the characteristics that decreased. Whereas with aging, the alcohol content and pH values increased. The gandaria wine produced with commercial yeast Pakmaya at a 2.5% concentration was found to be the best due to the alcohol content that complied with the standard for fruit wine and had the clearest resulting wine both for the primary fermentation and the 14-day aging.

هدف البحث إلى التعرف على التفريد التنظيمي وأثره على سلطة القاضي في تفريد العقوبة، ولتحقيق هدف البحث تم استخدام المنهج الوصفي التحليلي والتطبيق من خلال الاعتماد على العديد من الأنظمة السعودية لتناول موضوع البحث الذي تم تقسيمه إلى ثلاثة مباحث، تناول المبحث الأول تعريف التفريد التنظيمي، كما تناول المبحث الثاني السلطة التقديرية في التفريد التنظيمي من خلال مفهوم السلطة التقديرية للقاضي وأساسها، وتناول المطلب الثاني السلطة التقديرية للقاضي في أنواع العقوبات، وعلاقة السلطة التقديرية بوظيفة العقوبة، وسلطة القاضي في التدريج الكمي للعقوبة، وسلطة القاضي في الاختيار النوعي للعقوبة وتقدير التعزير، كما تناول المبحث سلطة القاضي في استظهار الظروف المخففة والمشددة للعقوبة، وجاء المبحث الثالث بعنوان السلطة الإلزامية في التفريد التنظيمي والذي تم فيه تناول مفهوم السلطة الإلزامية للقاضي والتعرف على السلطة الإلزامية من حيث التشديد والتخفيف للعقوبة أو الإعفاء منها، وكذلك تناول المبحث السلطة الإلزامية في تبديل العقوبة.

وتوصل البحث إلى أن النظام راعى تنوع العقوبة نوعًا وقدرًا، وحدد الحد الأعلى في كل جريمة، كما ترك الحد الأدنى لتقدير القضاء لما يراه كافيًا في ردع الجناة بما يتناسب مع شخصية الجانب وظروف الجريمة، وبالتالي فقد راعى المنظم السعودي التفريد التنظيمي في العقوبات ليفسح المجال أمام التفريد القضائي في اختيار العقوبة المناسبة.

وبناءً على النتائج يوصي الباحث بإتاحة معيار مرن يترك تقديره للسلطة القضائية من حيث التفرقة بين الفاعل الأصلي والشريك بالمساعدة بحيث يعالج كل حالة على حده من حيث التجريم والعقوبة بما يتماشى مع مسألة التناسب بين العقوبة والجريمة، وعلى المنظم عند وضع النصوص النظامية وبيان العقوبات ألا يكون الفارق بين حديها الأعلى والأدنى واسعًا، أو على الأقل وضع الضوابط الملائمة لمنع إمكانية تحكم القاضي وإلحاق الضرر، مع محاولة تحديد الأسباب والظروف والعوامل المخففة أو المشددة المحتملة العامة والخاصة وأخذها في الاعتبار عند تفريد العقوبة.

Published: December 2023

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) has remained one of the most important public health diseases and a leading cause of mortality from a single infectious agent in the world. In-patient mortalities have remained relatively high despite massive investment towards TB elimination. This prompted us to undertake a TB mortality review aimed at understanding the spectrum of clinical presentations in TB mortalities among in-patients in a local hospital set up in Zambia.

Methods: Files of 74 in-patient TB related mortalities that had occurred at Kitwe Teaching Hospital over a 12-month period between June 2018 and June 2019 were audited using a structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed using SPSS v 16.0 statistical software while descriptive statistics and cross tabulation was used to determine the frequencies and cross relationships among the variables followed by univariate logistic regression whose significance was set at a p-value of 0.05 and a 95 percent confidence interval. Variables that were found to be significant at univariate logistic regression were fitted into the multivariable logistic regression.

Results: The audit revealed that 50 (67.6%) of the files were for male patients with a mean age of 39.2 ± 11.6 years. 60(80%) were HIV positive, 60(80%) resided in high-density residential areas. On presentation to hospital, the commonest symptoms included productive cough and fever [31(41.9%) and 30(40.5%) respectively]. HIV positive male patients were presenting in hyperdynamic state (mean pulse rate of 117.2 ± 32.4 per minute, p = .001) and HIV positive females presented with mean arterial pressure (72.3 ± 19.5 mmHg, p = .002). Other findings included signs of multi-organ involvement [hypoalbuminemia 9(12.2%), deranged renal function 8(10.8%) and deranged liver enzymes 9(12.2%)] before mortality occurred.

Conclusion: The spectrum of clinical presentations among in-patients with TB in a tertiary hospital include the following; male gender, age younger than 50 years, being HIV positive, residing in a high-density residential area and presenting with unstable hemodynamics. There is a need to focus strategies targeted at strengthening early recognition of clinical instability among admitted TB patients for at-risk populations, including young to middle aged males who are HIV positive.

Published: January 2024

Globalization has impacted Indonesia's economy, providing consumers with diverse goods and services. Advances in technology have facilitated global transactions, benefiting consumers. However, businesses have benefited from consumers through advertisements and promotions. The Indonesian Consumer Protection Law offers alternative dispute resolution options, including the Consumer Dispute Settlement Agency (BPSK). Despite the existence of alternative institutions, BPSK remains a necessary institution for quick and affordable dispute resolution. Strengthening the agency, achieving budget independence, improving human resources, establishing an online system, and establishing BPSK in each province and second-level region are crucial for its future success.
