Published: June 2024

Gagasan penting tatakelola pemerintahan pasca reformasi adalah good governance, yaitu ketatapemerintahan yang melibatkan secara luas aktor-aktor masyarakat sipil dan swasta dalam merancang, melaksanakan, dan mengevaluasi kebijakan pemerintah. Dalam hal ini, transparansi, responsivitas, partisipasi, dan akuntabilitas menjadi variabel-varibel penting selanjutnya. Untuk konteks desa, hal itu semakin menguat dengan adanya UU No. 6 Tahun 2014 tentang Desa. Menariknya, justru di desa dengan aspek rekognisi dan subsidiaritas yang dilegitimasi melalui UU tersebut, desa mengalami inovasi-inovasi pembangunan melalui pelayanan publik, kebijakan politik, dan lain-lain. Desa Socorejo Kecamatan Jenu Kabupaten Tuban yang mendapatkan berbagai prestasi, baik lokal maupun nasional menarik untuk dikaji pelaksanaan good governance dan terobosan manajemen apa sajakah yang dilaksanakan selama tiga tahun terakhir (2017—2020). Dengan penelitian kualitatif berbasis etnografis ditemukan beberapa kunci menuju keberhasilan tersebut, yaitu (1) di bawah kepemimpinan Zubas Arief Rahman Hakim sebagai Kepala Desa sering dilakukan dialog publik yang memicu keterlibatan dan kepercayaan publik yang semakin menguat, (2) keterlibatan perusahaan-perusahaan di sekitar desa melalui Corporate Social Rensponsibility dan program Jamkesos Ketenagakerjaan secara luas juga mendorong pelaksanaan poin-poin penting good governance, dan (3) berkembangnya diskursus bahwa narasi good governance sejalan dengan prinsip liberalisme- kapitalisme yang memberikan dampak perubahan sosio-politik desa, yang kemudian tidak hanya membuat simetris kolaboratif antaraktor namun juga potensi kompetisi yang terbuka juga menjadi faktor penting dalam pelaksanaan good governance di desa ini. Kata Kunci: desa, good governance, dialog publik, kompetisi

The possibilities to modify the functional characteristics of wheat seeds and lactobacilli using low-intensity electromagnetic fields (EMF) in frequency ranges associated with gas resonances are considered.
The objective of the work is to study the role of oxygen in the process of modifying the functional indicators of soft wheat seeds and lactobacilli strains state irradiating them with low-intensity EMF on the resonant absorption lines of oxygen, hydrogen and ozone, additionally enriching water with oxygen during its irradiation and subsequent soaking of seeds in it, and creating conditions for cultivating bacteria in an environment with normal and reduced oxygen content.
To carry out electromagnetic effect, generators G4-141 and G4-142 were used. The enrichment of water with oxygen occurred during its irradiation with EMF, after which wheat seeds were soaked in it. Microaerophilic conditions for the cultivation of bacteria in microanaerostats.
The role of oxygen influence on the vital activity of biological objects of different classes (wheat seeds and lactobacilli) is shown. The possibility of stimulating seed germination by indirect irradiation with oxygen-enriched water at the 61,0 GHz oxygen resonance absorption line with a short exposure of the signal is shown. It has been found that by irradiating lactobacilli in the frequency ranges of 42,2 and 61,0 GHz, they can stimulate their absorption of glucose when cultivated under aerobic conditions, which, in turn, helps to increase the rate of population development. The conditions under which increasing production of high molecular weight peptide fractions (presumably plantaricins) by L. Plantarum strain and decreasing the share of low molecular weight proteins in the nutrient medium occur, which indicates, accordingly, an increasing the antagonistic activity of the L. plantarum strain and an improvement in its absorption of nutrients, were defined.
The results obtained open up the prospect of using electromagnetic technologies in agriculture when preparing seeds for sowing and in medicine, in particular in the development of new generation drugs based on lactobacilli with increased colonization and antagonistic properties towards pathogens.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: this study investigated the polymorphism of transcription activators genes and their effects on milk production traits.

Materials and methods. The first time in the Ural region, studies were carried out to determine the polymorphism of cattle in the STAT1 and STAT5A genes and the study of their associations with dairy productivity. Allele polymorphism was determined by the КASP method – Кompetitive Allele Specific PCR.

Results. 92 cows were genotyped for the STAT1 gene locus, three genovariants were identified – STAT1СС (69,5 %), STAT1СТ (27,2 %) и STAT1ТТ (3,3 %). In the first lactation, the productivity of cows with the STAT1СС genotype was: milk yield 8379 kg, milk fat content 4.18 %, milk protein content 3.23 %. The individuals with STAT1СТ genotype had milk yield 8045 kg, MF 4.17 %, MP 3.23 %. And the individuals with genotype STAT1ТТ had milk yield 7855 kg, MF 4.16 %, MP 3.18 %. The advantage of cows with the STAT1CC genotype was 334-524 kg of milk compared to analogues from other groups. The genotypes of 90 cows were determined by the locus of the STAT5A gene. The STAT5ACT genotype is widespread among the studied livestock (51.1 %), the STAT5AСС genotype occurs with a frequency of 25.6 %, STAT5ATT genotype – with a frequency of 23.3 %. The productivity of cows with the STAT5ACC genotype was: milk yield of 8376 kg of milk, fat content of 4.19 %, protein content of 3.21%. The milk yield of the first heifers in the STAT5ATT and STAT5ACT groups is lower by 83–142 kg, the fat content is lower by 0.02–0.03 %. According to the results of the study, the STAT1 gene has an advantage for use as markers of high dairy productivity of Holstein cattle.

Authors: Chen Fujiang , Guo Donglin , Zheng Tiantian , Gu Yangyang , Zhou Xinbin , Qiu Yuangang , Huang Shuwei , Ye Wenyi
Published: June 2024

Background: Catheter ablation (CA) is an effective therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF) and, although radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is the standard treatment for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), it is complex and time-consuming. Laser balloon ablation (LBA) has been introduced to simplify the conventional RFA; however, results of studies comparing LBA and RFA remain controversial. As such, this investigation aimed to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy and safety of LBA versus RFA. Methods: The PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched for relevant studies. The primary endpoints were the freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia (ATA) and procedure-related complications. Results: Twelve studies including 1274 subjects were included. LBA and RFA yielded similar rates of freedom from ATA (72.5% vs. 68.7%, odds ratio [OR] = 1.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.0–1.7, p = 0.11) and procedure-related complications (7.7% vs. 6.5%, OR = 1.17, 95% CI 0.72–1.90, p = 0.536). LBA with the second- and third-generation laser balloons (LB2/3) yielded remarkably higher rates of freedom from ATA than RFA using contact-force technology (RFA-CF) (OR = 1.91, p = 0.013). Significantly lower pulmonary vein (PV) reconnection rates (OR = 0.51, p = 0.021), but higher phrenic nerve palsy (PNP) rates (OR = 3.42, p = 0.023) were observed in the LBA group. LBA had comparable procedure (weighted mean difference [WMD] = 8.43 min, p = 0.337) and fluoroscopy times (WMD = 3.09 min, p = 0.174), but a longer ablation time (WMD = 12.57 min, p = 0.00) than those for RFA. Conclusions: LBA and RFA treatments were comparable in terms of freedom from ATA and postprocedural complications in patients with AF. Compared with RFA, LBA was associated with significantly lower PV reconnection rates, but a higher incidence of PNP and longer ablation time.
The Cumulative and Single Effect of 12 Aldehydes Concentrations on Cardiovascular Diseases: An Analysis Based on Bayesian Kernel Machine Regression and Weighted Logistic Regression
Authors: Fang Yuemei , Zhang Juan
Published: June 2024

Background: This study investigates the individual and cumulative effects of 12 aldehydes concentrations on cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods: A total of 1529 individuals from the 2013–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were enrolled. We assessed serum concentrations of 12 aldehydes, including benzaldehyde, butyraldehyde, crotonaldehyde, decanaldehyde, heptanaldehyde, hexanaldehyde, isopentanaldehyde, nonanaldehyde, octanaldehyde, o-tolualdehyde, pentanaldehyde, and propanaldehyde. CVD patients were identified based on self-reported disease history from questionnaires. The Bayesian kernel machine regression was used to evaluate the cumulative effect of 12 aldehyde concentrations on CVD. Both weighted and unweighted logistic regression were used to assess the association of serum aldehyde concentrations with CVD, presenting effect sizes as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Additionally, a restricted cubic spline analysis was also conducted to explore the relationship between benzaldehyde and CVD. Results: Among the participants, 111 (7.3%) were identified as having CVD. Isopentanaldehyde concentrations were notably higher in CVD patients compared to those without CVD. Bayesian kernel machine regression indicated no cumulative effect of aldehydes on CVD. Unweighted logistic regression revealed a positive association between benzaldehyde and CVD when adjusting for age and sex (OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.03–1.21). This association persisted after adjusting for age, sex, race, education, hypertension, diabetes, alcohol consumption, and smoking, with an OR of 1.12 (95% CI = 1.02–1.22). The restricted cubic spline showed a linear association between benzaldehyde and CVD. In the weighted logistic model, the association between benzaldehyde and CVD remains significant (OR = 1.17, 95% CI = 1.06–1.29). However, no significant association was found between other aldehydes and CVD. Conclusions: Our study reveals the potential contributing role of benzaldehyde to CVD. Future studies should further validate these findings in diverse populations and elucidate the underlying biological mechanisms.

Integrated enhanced cognitive behavioural therapy (I-CBTE) for the treatment of severe and long-standing eating disorders (SEED). Commentary on Paper 2: From SEED to recovery
Authors: Roberts Lyn
Published: June 2024

This commentary forms part of a series of three interconnected papers. The first paper is a personal narrative by a patient with lived experience of having a severe, longstanding eating disorder1; the second paper is a detailed case study on the first paper2. Specifically this paper is a commentary on the second paper entitled ‘Integrated enhanced cognitive behavioural therapy (I-CBTE) for the treatment of severe and long-standing eating disorders (SEED). Paper 2: From chrysalis to butterfly – a detailed case study’. In this commentary the author outlines her own eating disorder (ED) history. The ED started in early adolescence and she describes how she ‘coped’ with a severe and enduring eating disorder (SEED) for several decades as an adult, and how ‘coping’ developed into being seriously malnourished and at risk. She then documents how I-CBTE had brought her into recovery, and how this was only possible in tandem with full weight restoration. The hope is that the author’s personal narrative and commentary will provide further lived experiences and insights into the recovery journey from SE-AN. This commentary highlights the human aspect of the condition and the transformative potential of effective treatment models like I-CBTE.

Understanding how corrupt behavior occurs is a critical issue at the intersection of behavioral ethics, social psychology, and other related social sciences, which lays the foundation for establishing effective policies combating corruption. Previous studies in Behavioral Economics and Social Psychology have primarily focused on developing lab-based research paradigms and identifying various situational and personality factors that modulate the bribe-taking behavior, a major form of corruption. However, a theoretical framework that quantitatively accounts for the psychological processes underpinning bribe-taking behaviors is still lacking. Inspired by recent literature on neuroeconomics and moral decision-making, here we provide a computational framework which assumes that the decision of whether to take or refuse a bribe involves a value-based computational process. We showcase how this framework can advance our theoretical understanding of bribe-taking behavior 1) by helping clarify how a power-holder weighs benefits against costs and integrates them into a value signal that allows the power-holder to make the decision of taking or refuse the bribe, 2) by enhancing our understanding of the potential mechanisms through which various contextual modulators impact the bribe-taking behavior, and 3) by improving the prediction of bribe-taking behaviors in individuals through the association between bribe-taking and personality traits. Moreover, we showcase how this framework can be potentially extended to explain the computational processes underlying more intricate forms of corrupt behaviors. We also highlight the practical application of this framework in offering mechanistic insights into effective anti-corruption intervention policies and design of morally-aligned AI systems.

Organizational Safety Failure Case Study: The World Professional Association for Transgender Health Standards of Care
Authors: Jensen Elizabeth
Published: June 2024

An unusual form of safety failure is the sustained failure mode (organizational failure). This is a situation in which workers and/or clients are regularly exposed to dangerous conditions about which the organization is unable to address. Qualitatively, we discuss these characteristics with non-medical examples (I) decisions are made contraindicated by science, (II) scientific inquiry into the effects of those decisions is blocked, (III) reasoned dissent is suppressed and punished, (IV) authority has a conflict of interest, (V) there is insular training of authority, and (VI) clients and/or workers are received with hostility or malignant-condescension by authority. We then take the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s Standards of Care publication as a case study into the nature of this failure. The size of the US population receiving gender medicine treatments is estimated to be 0.9 million patients, making this a significant issue. We inspect how this population is identified, how the Standards of Care publication is used in practice, evidence based medicine, medical ethics, and we focus on the eunuch chapter 9 for the failure characteristics previously discussed.

Published: June 2024

Home energy upgrade decisions, such as adopting energy efficient equipment/appliances and renewable energy,are embedded within broader decisions and actions for upgrading the home. In this paper, 121 households infour states were interviewed to investigate the cognitive process of decision-making for home upgrades at theintersection of individual self-identites, normative goals of households and their sociotechnical environment. Wefound that home upgrades occur typically as interconnected sets of projects. They are constituted of decisiondilemmas between domestic space-making aspirations and technological choices, moderated by sentiments,opinions of peers, information, limiting factors and self-identities. Indoor upgrades are largely influenced by thefunctional and emotional goals of the household, whereas exterior and structurally complex upgrades are usuallydetermined by parameters of the sociotechnical environment, including costs and available expertise. Behaviorally, functional needs and social situation of individuals are more influential to upgrade decisions thanenvironmental values or ideological positions on decarbonization.
Enriquecimiento trabajo familia, satisfacción laboral y compromiso organizacional en trabajadores de una empresa de transporte
Authors: Slavic Contreras Consuelo , Jiménez Figueroa Andrés
Published: June 2024

El presente estudio analiza la relación entre enriquecimiento trabajo familia, satisfacción laboral y compromiso organizacional. A 118 trabajadores de una empresa del rubro de transporte, se les administró el Cuestionario Enriquecimiento Trabajo-Familia (Carlson et. al, 2006), la Escala de Satisfacción Laboral S10/12 (Meliá & Peiró, 1988). y, por último, el Cuestionario de Compromiso Organizacional (Allen & Meyer, 1990) Se observan relaciones significativas pero bajas entre enriquecimiento trabajo familia y satisfacción laboral, y una correlación baja y positiva entre las variables enriquecimiento trabajo familia y compromiso organizacional. Por otra parte, las variables compromiso organizacional y satisfacción laboral no presentan una relación estadísticamente significativa ni una relación positiva, ya que el coeficiente de correlación es muy bajo. De igual manera, se observó que la variable enriquecimiento trabajo familia explica en un 9,2% la variable compromiso organizacional y 24% la variable satisfacción laboral, siendo en ambos casos una relación lineal significativa entre las variables. Se concluye la importancia del papel que tiene el enriquecimiento trabajo- familia en la vida laboral y familiar de los trabajadores y como el grado de enriquecimiento entre ambas esferas de las personas puede afectar positiva o negativamente el desempeño de estos en su empresa, y así también, directamente la productividad. Finalmente, se analiza la necesidad de integrar las políticas y prácticas organizacionales a fin de facilitar la conciliación del área laboral con el familiar.

Determinantes macroeconómicos de los flujos migratorios ecuatorianos hacia Estados Unidos, período 1990 – 2020
Authors: Vizuete Guadalupe Jervis , González Bautista María , Zurita Moreano Eduardo
Published: June 2024

Las teorías migratorias se emplean para explicar este fenómeno. En el caso de Ecuador, se aplica la Teoría de la Macroeconomía Neoclásica y la literatura sugiere comparar los indicadores macroeconómicos entre el país de origen y el receptor de migrantes. Los antecedentes señalan varios factores que influyen en la decisión de migrar. En este estudio, se utilizan el Índice de Desarrollo Humano, el PIB per cápita, la tasa de desempleo, el gasto público como porcentaje del PIB y la tasa de inflación como determinantes para describir el fenómeno migratorio. Se realiza una matriz de correlación de Pearson para evaluar la relación entre la variable dependiente e independiente. A través de un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple paso a paso, se excluyen las variables no significativas, en este caso, el Índice de Desarrollo Humano. Se mantienen las variables restantes considerando su nivel de significancia. Estas variables explican el 84,10% del flujo migratorio de Ecuador hacia Estados Unidos durante el período 1990-2020.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Simulation based education is an intervention that enable students to become competent in performing clinical skills. The study aimed to find out the effectiveness of simulation-based education on competencies on performing Helping Babies Breathe (HBB)and perceived self-efficacy on performing Helping Babies Breathe among nursing students.
Methods: Pre-experimental study design was adopted. Total 40 nursing students of BSc third year were included. Initially, pre-intervention data was obtained and simulation-based intervention on skills practice on Helping Babies Breathe was intervene by research team members based on HBB guideline and post-intervention data was obtained after 4 weeks of intervention. Data were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics specifically, paired t-test and Wilcoxon test was used
Results: All most all participants were able to initiate effective ventilation within a minute in post-test. The skills scores on performing all the steps of effective ventilation in post-test were increased. Specifically, there is a significant increased on skills score on initial steps of HBB after intervention with (p=0.001), birth time to initiation of effective ventilation (p= 0.002), continuing effective ventilation (p=0.005) and on overall skill competencies for performing HBB per minute (p=0.000). Regarding their perceived self-efficacy on performing HBB, score was higher on all aspects after intervention.
Conclusions: Statistical significant increased scores on skills on performing Helping Babies Breathe (HBB)on post-test than pre-test signifies that simulation based education on HBB is effective on increasing skills competencies among nursing students and enhancing their perceived self-efficacy. Thus, skills practice on HBB is recommended to promote among nursing students in simulated labs.
