Authors: Efendi Nur , Nurnida Ida
Published: October 2024

The competitiveness of the textile industry is determined by the implementation of knowledge management. Therefore, this research aimed to describe and analyze the implementation of knowledge management in small and medium (SMEs) textile industry in Majalaya, West Java. An exploratory descriptive design was used with an inductive approach and qualitative methods. Data collection was carried out through interviews and observations, while the analysis was conducted through stages of data reduction, display, and conclusion. The results showed that SMEs textile industry in Majalaya, West Java did not implement knowledge management optimally. There were three internal problems, namely the low skill level of the workforce, low mastery of technology, and weak learning culture. The impact of the problem was the high dependence on the knowledge of the owner and supervisor, the occurrence of hostages between the owner, supervisor, and employees, and labor practices causing companies to lose potential workforce. In this context, the implementation of knowledge management experienced obstacles, such as lack of management and leadership support, weak learning culture, low mastery of information technology, limited technological infrastructure, lack of adequate training and education practices, and human resource management practices.
APPLICATION OF COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE THEORY IN EXPLORING THE VOICE OF COMMUNITY IN CONFLICT-PRONE AREAS
Authors: Isnaini Muhamad
Published: October 2024

This research is motivated by conflicts in urban areas, which are escalating in frequency. Johar Baru District was selected due to the prevalence of inter-group conflicts, specifically in the form of brawls, which have become a daily occurrence in the area. The prevalence of this kind of conflict traumatizes the residents left behind in the area. Consequently, there is a pressing need to explore the voices of the community in conflict-prone areas that need to be explored. Communication infrastructure theory was chosen to support the analysis because this theory was developed to articulate problems in urban areas. The research method chosen is a case study. The research results show that the community expressed three essential things related to conflict: the dangers of drugs, peace, and providing employment opportunities. This research also shows that Communication Infrastructure Theory (CIT) is reliable for mapping conflict in urban areas as well as capturing the voices of communities that have been marginalized in conflict-prone areas.

Published: October 2024

This study discusses the capacity of the nagari government to utilize village funds during the COVID-19 pandemic. Limitations in communication patterns, interaction, and community legitimacy are identified as issues in policy implementation. As the front line to accelerate economic recovery for the community during the pandemic, the nagari government has to offer various innovations in policy implementation, including the utilization of village funds. Remarkably, one of the nagari in West Sumatra, namely Nagari Pasia Laweh, utilized the pandemic as a turning point for generating various innovations using village funds. Consequently, this nagari was rewarded as the best Nagari in village fund transparency in 2020 and the best nagari in West Sumatra in 2021. This study employed a qualitative method to observe the phenomena related to the institutional capacity of nagari in the utilization of village funds during the pandemic. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with the purposive sampling technique. The results indicate that various policy innovations are carried out through schemes involving local actors in Nagari Pasia Laweh using a kaum-based method. The collaboration between the government and local elite facilitates the acceptance and implementation of various policies in the community. Thus, community participation and legitimacy greatly influence Nagari Pasia Laweh to the extent that it is selected as the best nagari.

Published: October 2024

This research aims to develop a peatland management plan for Riau province that is based on the ideas of public-private collaboration. Data from this qualitative descriptive research were collected through a multimodal manner: interviews, in-depth literature reviews, and secondary data sources. The data analysis approach employed an interactive model that was inspired by Emerson and Nabatchi’s work on the dynamics of collaborative governance. Interviews were conducted with members of the public and commercial sectors, as well as local communities and experts. This study found that there are recurring barriers in peatland management in Riau, such as the need for more active and robust collaboration between the government and private sectors. Although the government functions within defined boundaries, the private sector often designs programs aligned with the interests of specific stakeholder groups. This situation frequently leads to incomplete projects, overlapping programs, and inadvertent strategies. The findings show there are concerns about the future adoption of sustainable methods in peatland management due to the divide between the public and private sectors. For this reason, resolving these issues is essential to protecting Riau’s peatlands and their ecological and economic significance for future generations.

Authors: Jurado Susana , González Norma
Published: October 2024

El presente trabajo hace referencia a los cambios o “mutaciones” que ha sufrido el curso sobre microscopía electrónica de transmisión en ciencias biológicas (Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad Nacional de La Plata) que está dirigido a estudiantes de posgrado de ciencias veterinarias y de otras disciplinas afines. Tanto para la modalidad presencial como para la semipresencial y la completamente virtual, el programa del curso fue modificado aplicando distintos recursos digitales. Además, se implementaron diferentes estrategias que produjeron cambios en la organización modular de los contenidos, en las actividades, en la evaluación y en el rol de los docentes al introducirse una actividad de taller. El hecho de haber realizado la transición de modalidad presencial a semipresencial con anterioridad al año 2020 permitió dar una mejor respuesta al producirse el proceso disruptivo de la pandemia, al tiempo que las mutaciones del curso resultaron favorables frente al reto de la enseñanza remota de emergencia. Esta experiencia pedagógica fue enriquecedora y podría resultar inspiradora para otros docentes del nivel superior que deseen explorar la educación online o virtual.

Published: October 2024

First-time voters are a fairly large segment of voters. This shows that First-Time voters are a large resource in politics in Indonesia. Indonesia as a democratic country certainly expects every element of society to be actively involved in every democratic process, including the first-time voter segment. First-time voters as an important segment then have quite good political awareness. Through this political awareness, a pattern of political preference formation will then be formed. First-time voters as a large political resource are of course highly expected to be able to participate, at least voting in elections. So far, existing research regarding First-time voters only places as mere objects. However, this research then examines in more depth the patterns of political preference formation that will influence the political behavior of first-time voters. This research is qualitative research with primary data obtained through in-depth interviews with high school students as research informants. Based on the research conducted, it appears that First-time voters in Makassar City have quite good political awareness, which is an implication of their better political knowledge. So, when making choices in an election, First-time voters have a tendency to make their own choices based on their political preferences. The pattern of forming political preferences of first-time voters is sociology, rationality and psychology.

Crude oil price behavior and the adoption of sustainable measures in companies before and after COVID-19
Authors: Monge Manuel , Lazcano Ana
Published: October 2024

The objectives achieved in the Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce dependence on fossil fuels have caused, in recent years, a growing importance on sustainability in companies in order to reduce Environmental, social and economic impacts. This study is focused on understanding how the variation in West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices affects the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, and therefore the companies included in it, and vice versa. The research aims to examine the statistical properties of both indices, using fractional integration methods, the fractional cointegration vector autoregressive (FCVAR) approach and the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) technique. The results warn of a change in trend, with the application of extraordinary measures being necessary to return to the original trend, while the analysis of cointegration and wavelet analysis measures reflect that an increase in those adopted based on sustainability by the different companies that make up the index imply a drop in the price of crude oil.
China’s container freight prices on the global behavior of inflation rate after COVID-19
Authors: Monge Manuel , Lazcano Ana , Gil-Alana Luis A.
Published: October 2024

The main objective of this article is to analyze the relationship between increases in freight costs and inflation in the markets due to the increases reflected in the prices of the products in some economies in destination ports such as the United States, Europe, Japan, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand and South Korea. We use fractionally integrated methods and Granger causality test to calculate the correlation between these indicators. The results indicate that, after a significant drop in inflation in 2020, probably due to the confinement caused by the pandemic, the increases observed in inflation and freight costs are expected to be transitory given their stationary behavior. We also find a close correlation between both indicators in Europe, the United States and South Africa.

Published: October 2024

Foodborne disease is a condition in which food is contaminated by microorganisms or chemicals, causing disease. One of the microorganisms that most often causes this condition is Escherichia coli. There is an assumption which states that, base gede/base genep has antibacterial properties which inhibit the growth of bacteria in typical Balinese food such as lawar. Various studies have proven that the basic ingredients of base gede have antibacterial activity obtained from secondary metabolites. The purpose of this study was to determine the phytochemical compounds contained in the base gede and the inhibitory power of the base gede in inhibiting the growth of the Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. This study examined the content of secondary metabolites qualitatively and the experimental test was the true experimental posttest only control group design. The method used was the disk diffusion (Kirby Bauer) with variations in the concentration of ethanol extract base gede as many as four groups (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) and the negative control group was 96% ethanol and the positive control group ciprofloxacin 5g. The results of the phytochemical test found that the base gede ethanol extract contained phenols, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, terpenoids, and flavonoids. Inhibition test results observed inhibition zones formed at concentrations of 50%, 75%, 100% and K+ with diameters respectively 5.65+/-0.65 mm ; 7.00+/-1.35mm ; 7.78+/-1.18 mm dan 34.52+/-1.49 mm. Kruskal wallis test showed a value of p = 0.001 (p <0.05) which showed that the concentration group had an effect on the inhibition of E.coli ATCC 25922. There was a significant difference between the 50% and 100% concentrations obtained from the Mann-Whitney analysis with value of p = 0.043 (p<0.05).

Background : Identification of psychosocial problems and quality of life of school-aged children should be routinely applied in child developmental health-related practices. The main concerns in measuring the quality of life of children with psychosocial disorders are mainly related to language development, cognitive development and the type of disorder. This has led to the identification of developmental disorders in school-aged children requiring specific tools (PSC-17 score and PedsQL score) designed for pediatric patients. The similarities or differences obtained based on these measurement tools will depend on the precise formulation of the questions as well as the assessment of the situation of the individual being evaluated.
Methods : An analytic observational study using a cross-sectional design involve three elementary schools in the Jimbaran area, Badung, Bali. The study was conducted at Udayana University Hospital in July 2022. The scores used in this study were self-reported PedsQL scores and PSC-17 scores obtained based on interviews with children. The correlation between the evaluation results using the PSC-17 and PedsQL questionnaires was evaluated using the Spearman correlation test.
Results : Amongst 189 children, median age was 11 years (range 11–13 years). There was a significant correlation between PSC-17 scores and PedsQL scores (r= -0.59; p<0.001). Subgroup analysis on PSC-17 aspect subscales and PedsQL dimensions found significantly varying negative correlations.
Conclusion : This study found a moderate negative correlation between PSC-17 scores and PedsQL scores, varying correlations strength between each aspect/dimension of each score.

Published: October 2024

The abdominal circumference is dependent upon various factors, one of it is the simple sugar intake. Hence, research has been conducted in order to determine the effects of simple sugar intake on the abdominal circumference because there is an increase in people who have a large abdominal circumference in the past years, mainly due to increase in simple sugar intake. The research was conducted using a descriptive design with a cross-sectional analytical research method amongst the Medical Students of Udayana University by providing questionnaires. For the majority of the students, the simple sugar intake appears to be in the mid-range. There are 15 students, whose intake is more than the mid-range and 14 student whose intake below the mid-range. For majority of students, the abdominal circumference appears to be around the mid-range, 65.8cm to 92.8cm. There are 8 students whose abdominal circumference is more than the mid-range and another 8 students whose abdominal circumference is below the mid-range. The Pearson chi-square test value is 25.772 with an asymptotic significance 2 tailed (often referred to as “p”, short for probability) value of 0.018. Since this p-value is below 0.05, it means there is a significant or valid relationship between the two variables as expected.In conclusion, there is a significant relationship and moderate correlation between the intake of simple sugars and abdominal circumference amongst the PSSK UNUD students

Authors: Yuliawati Putu , Mahadewi Wistya Eka , Utari Made Laksmi
Published: October 2024

Tumor sinonasal merupakan tumor yang berlokasi kavum nasi dan sinus paranasal yang dekat dengan struktur neurovaskular. Tumor sinonasal memiliki kemungkinan perluasan dan invasi yang tinggi, salah satunya ke orbita. Struktur anatomi yang sulit dan gejala klinis yang tidak khas membuat diagnosis tumor sinonasal seringkali terlambat. Pemahaman lebih dalam mengenai penyakit ini diperlukan. Studi deskriptif dengan pendeketan retrospektif ini dilakukan pada pasien tumor sinonasal dengan perluasan ke mata yang berkunjung ke Poliklinik Mata RSUP Prof Ngoerah Denpasar pada Januari 2020 – Desember 2021. Data penelitian yang dikumpulkan meliputi usia, jenis kelamin, gejala klinis seperti proptosis dan gerak bola mata, lateralisasi, derajat invasi orbita, tipe histologi, dan terapi yang didapatkan. Data kemudian dianalisis secara bivariat. Total sebanyak 22 pasien diinklusi dalam penelitian ini. Tumor sinonasal jinak dilaporkan sebanyak 4 (18,2%) pasien dan sisanya 18 (81,8%) pasien adalah tumor ganas. Rerata usia subyek adalah 58,05 (±12,5) tahun, sebagian besar dalam rentang usia 51-60 tahun (36,4%) dan laki-laki (59,1%). Rerata usia secara signifikan lebih tinggi pada pasien dengan tumor ganas (61,22 vs 43,75 tahun; p=0,008). Sebanyak 86,4% pasien mengalami proptosis dan 18,2% pasien mengalami perluasan mata unilateral. Derajat perluasan orbita terbanyak adalah grade 3 (50%). Masing-masing dua (9,1%) pasien tumor jinak menunjukkan inflamasi kronik dan kista jinak. Pada tipe tumor ganas, mayoritas memiliki tipe adenokarsinoma (27,3%). Tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara variabel jenis kelamin, lateralisasi, derajat perluasan, dan terapi dengan tipe histologi tumor (p>0,05). Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa subyek tumor ganas sinonasal berusia lebih tua dibandingkan dengan tumor jinak sinonasal.

Published: October 2024

Penyakit jantung rematik (PJR) adalah suatu kondisi dimana terjadinya kelainan struktural dan fungsional katup pada jantung yang bersifat irreversibel dan biasanya merupakan kelanjutan dari demam rematik akut. PJR apabila tidak tertangani dengan sempurna dapat mengalami serangan berulang (recurrent). Penanganan yang sempurna memerlukan biaya besar dan waktu yang lama sepanjang usia penderitanya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tingkat kepatuhan prevensi sekunder dengan perburukan penyakit pada pasien jantung rematik di RSUP Sanglah Denpasar. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan metode analitik Studi Kohort Retrospektif dengan total sampel sebanyak 77 orang. Variabel dependen adalah perburukan penyakit (riwayat rawat inap, level gangguan katup, fungsi sistolik) dan variabel independen adalah tingkat kepatuhan. Teknik sampling menggunakan consecutive sampling. Data yang digunakan diambil dari data sekunder rekam medis RSUP Sanglah Denpasar. Data yang sudah terkumpul dianalisis menggunakan software SPSS versi 26. Nilai p < 0,05 pada uji statistik chi-square menunjukkan ada hubungan signifikan. Persentase tingkat kepatuhan prevensi sekunder pasien lebih besar dibandingkan tidak patuh, yaitu sebesar 55,8%. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat kepatuhan dengan riwayat rawat inap pada pasien PJR (p = 0,040). Pasien yang memiliki tingkat kepatuhan tinggi terhadap prevensi sekunder, memiliki riwayat rawat inap yang jarang (< 2 kali) bahkan tidak sama sekali, sedangkan tidak ditemukan hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat kepatuhan dengan perburukan level gangguan katup (p = 0,454) dan penurunan fungsi sistolik ventrikel kiri (p = 0,497).

Overview of the Legislation on Solid Waste from the Civil Construction with a View to Sustainability
Authors: Marques Mauricio Dias , Simoes Rebecca Delatore , Braga Junior Sergio Silva
Published: October 2024

Objective: The construction industry is a large generator of solid waste, which can be treated, reused or, if this is not possible, disposed of as waste in a sustainable manner. The lack of well-structured legislation bring difficulties to dispose of this waste correctly. This article aims to analyze Brazilian and other countries' legislation about construction waste, to understand how it is being treated, used or disposed of and what legal standards are applied.
 
Method: It uses a bibliographical research, which describes the existing legislation in several countries and presents a comparative table, highlighting the variability in the treatment given to waste and the absence, in Brazil, of a robust and comprehensive public policy.
 
Result: It is observed that the legislation is generalized, with no single public policy that encompasses all the requirements for treatment, reuse and correct disposal, highlighting missing policies in Brazil, such as tax for aggression to the environment.
 
Conclusion: Valuable information is collected for public policy makers and construction operators, concerned with environmental preservation, who can collaborate to meet the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations.
Swastikas at Swat and Student Holocaust Memorial Culture
Authors: Brown Nathanael D.
Published: October 2024

A series of antisemitic incidents on the campus of Swarthmore College in 2016 invoked a larger memory culture of the Holocaust for Jewish students. This phenomenon was not an aberration, but rather the product of a well-documented effort by Jewish organizations to create a Holocaust memorial culture that would leave a lasting impact on those who experienced it, especially students. By researching the larger picture of how Holocaust Memory culture was created, and using that and Maurice Halbwachs's “lieu de mémoire'' method of historiography as frameworks, we gain insight into how some Jewish students’ perceptions of antisemitism in 2016 were shaped by Holocaust memory culture.
The "Burden of Blame": Coalition-Building In the Transgender Movement from the 1970s through the 1990s
Authors: Grafstein Julia F.
Published: October 2024

Coalition-building within the transgender movement has received scant attention from scholars in transgender history. The vulnerable period after the Stonewall Riots in 1969 was one of extreme growth in the transgender movement, as trans people came together to challenge injustices they experienced, such as employment discrimination, cross-dressing laws, police brutality, and equal access to medical care. This essay documents not only the extent of these injustices, but also the ways in which trans people united to educate and support one another in the face of injustice. Trans activists also sought to educate cisgender people and reform the prejudices of people in power. Through the examination of how trans people built coalitions in their nascent movement, this essay illuminates the power of alliances for minority groups seeking to reform society and build a movement.
Poles and Puerto Ricans: Immigration and Assimilation in the Pioneer Valley
Authors: Proia Gabriel S.
Published: October 2024

This paper attempts to explain why Polish immigrant farmers who came to the Pioneer Valley around the turn of the century assimilated more fully into the dominant culture and achieved on average greater economic success than Puerto Rican immigrant farmers who engaged in similar work in the same region roughly fifty years later. I begin by reviewing American Studies literature on assimilation dynamics to develop a framework for qualitatively evaluating how both groups changed over time. The evaluation is thereafter based on local newspaper articles and secondary ethnographic and historical literature from throughout the twentieth century, as well as interviews with the descendants of immigrants and personal accounts from local Massachusetts historians. In the vein of theoretical perspectives developed by scholars Sanchez, Bodnar, and Spickard, I conclude that the disparate outcomes experienced by the two groups is due in large part to the structural forces of postcolonial racism against Puerto Ricans in the context of global capitalism, specifically mid twentieth century urban deindustrialization. However, there is also a significant component to the disparity that I attribute to individual decision-making informed by shifting cultural values and behaviors.
Two Houses Divided? The Parallel Histories of the Casa de Contratación and the Casa da Índia, 1500-1580
Authors: Romero Gustavo L.
Published: October 2024

This paper seeks to investigate the histories of the Spanish Casa de Contratación and the Portuguese Casa da Índia in relation to one another, identifying possible ways in which each drew inspiration, or imitated the other during the period from 1500 to 1580. Though there is existing research into the individual Casas, comparative approaches have generally been avoided. This work synthesizes the literature and tracks interactions or trends between the Iberian empires from both an institutional and interpersonal perspective. Through analysis of bureaucratic charters, letters, and other documents, it outlines the time periods, possible reasons, and results of this imitation game. Ultimately, after decades of trial and error, each empire settled into a model more suited to its imperial situation on the ground: for the Spanish, this was a more privatized model, while for the Portuguese it was statist in the East and more privatized in Brazil.
Intentions, Strategies, and Actions: How Refugees Exert Agency in the Resettlement and Humanitarian Admission Process from Jordan and Turkey to Germany
Authors: Schneider Hanna Elisabeth
Published: October 2024

Although refugee resettlement is characterized by opaque decision-making of United Nations and government agencies, refugees may exert agency throughout the resettlement process. Tracing the journeys of several refugees through the resettlement and humanitarian admission processes from Jordan and Turkey to Germany, this article highlights refugees’ intentions, strategies, and actions to access and navigate the process in Jordan and Turkey. Defining agency as a combination of intention and action, without reference to a specific outcome, the article argues for a nuanced conceptualization of agency that can be employed in situations where people’s agency is very limited.
The Relationship Effect of Board Characteristics and Company Characteristics on Corporate Social Responsibility
Authors: Udipta Rizky Prastya , Chandra Kristian , Margaretha Farah
Published: October 2024

This study aims to analyze the influence of board characteristics on CSR policies with the company characteristics as control variables. CSR policy in this study focuses on the amount of CSR costs incurred by the company to contribute to the social and community environment. The data used in this study are secondary data sourced from the annual reports of energy sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI) from 2016-2022. The research sample was selected using the purposive sampling method, resulting in 28 companies as the sample. The data analysis used for hypothesis testing is multiple regression analysis using the Eviews 9 program. The results of the study indicate that board characteristics, as indicated by the variables of board size and firm age, have a significant positive influence on CSR. The results also show that firm size has a significant positive influence on CSR performance, while leverage has a significant negative influence on CSR performance. These findings provide information that the increasing number of board members in important positions within a company will impact the high CSR performance, as well as the maturity of a company indicated by the years since going public will enhance the high concern for the environment. In addition, the level of company leverage will be one of the considerations for investors in investing capital as it will have a negative impact on the adopted CSR policies.
The Effect of Leverage, Corporate Governance, and Profitability on Firm Value
Authors: Mutyarawati Herlita , Chandra Kristian , Leon Farah Margaretha
Published: October 2024

This research analyzes the influence of debt on firm value with corporate governance as a variable presumed to moderate the relationship between debt and firm value. The research sample was selected using a purposive sampling method, resulting in 44 non-cyclical consumer sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2018 to 2022. The study results indicate that corporate governance and profitability positively affect firm value, and firm size affects firm value. Corporate governance as a moderating variable can negatively moderate the relationship between debt and firm value. The findings of this study provide insights into institutional ownership, profitability, and firm size that affect firm value. Investors can use this information to conduct risk analysis and inform their investment decisions. Investors should choose companies with strong corporate governance and high profitability, considering institutional ownership in the corporate governance variable. Investors should preferably select companies with high institutional ownership and high profitability to ensure high firm value but choose companies with smaller sizes where the company uses total assets productively.

Published: October 2024

This meta-analysis and bibliographic study aims to compare the effectiveness of biological and chemical control methods against Spodoptera frugiperda, using the mortality rate percentage as the primary parameter. Data were pooled from studies indexed in Scopus from 2019 to 2024. Biological agents include species like Telenomus remus, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Trichogramma spp., while chemical agents include substances like emamectin benzoate, chlorpyrifos, and lambda-cyhalothrin. The research spans across multiple continents, highlighting significant contributions from China, Mexico, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Ghana, Thailand, Cameroon, and Malawi, indicating a global effort to manage this pest. ANCOVA was employed to compare the efficacy of these control methods, controlling for covariates such as initial infestation levels and environmental conditions. The analysis confirmed the normality (sig. 0.51) and homogeneity of the data variances(sig.0.79), and linear relationships between covariates and the dependent variable were established. The final comparison revealed no significant difference between the effectiveness of biological and chemical agents in controlling Spodoptera frugiperda(sig. 0.279) This comprehensive assessment enhances the reliability and validity of the findings, providing insights for policymakers and agricultural practitioners to develop more effective pest management strategies and allocate resources efficiently.
