Published: January 2025

Stunting is a public health problem caused by chronic malnutrition and is often exacerbated by poor environmental sanitation. Environmental sanitation factors that cause it are clean water management, waste management, feces management and sewerage management. Improving sanitation infrastructure and promoting healthy living behaviors are essential to reduce stunting and support sustainable health outcomes. In Silahisabungan Subdistrict, Dairi Regency, this study is to examine the distribution pattern of environmental cleanliness and its relationship to the prevalence of stunting. This type of research is observational with a case control design and ecological approach, to obtain an overview of the distribution patterns of stunting and environmental sanitation using geographic information system applications. The case sampling technique used total sampling. Where all stunted toddlers were taken as cases as many as 58 toddlers and controls as many as 58 toddlers. Purposive sampling was used to conduct the research sampling. This study's data was analysed using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate methods, including logistic regression, chi-square statistical tests, and mapping of stunting data using Google Earth and Quantum GIS. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between water management (p-value=0.000), waste management (p-value=0.032), waste management (p-value=0.000) and there was no significant relationship between feces management (p-value=0.193) with the incidence of stunting. Improving environmental sanitation is a key factor in reducing the prevalence of stunting. Interventions that focus on increasing access to clean water, building sanitation facilities, and educating the community about clean and healthy living behaviors need to be prioritized.

Published: January 2025

Mother’s knowledge is very important because it is one of the contributing factors to the emergence of stunting in toddlers. Mothers with low knowledge have a higher risk of their children experiencing stunting compared to mothers with sufficient knowledge.The family plays a very important role in efforts to prevent stunting. Preventing stunting in families can be associated with eight family functions that support each other. This study aims to analyze the effect of education on improving the knowledge of mothers with toddlers regarding the 8 family functions. The eight family funtions are the religious function, sosio-cultural function, affection function, protection function, reproduction function, socialization and education function, economic function, and environmental development function. This research method is quantitative, using a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest questionnaire instrument. The sample consists of 30 mothers with toddlers at risk of stunting in the Family Planning Village (Kampung KB), Lembah Murai Village. Data analysis used the Paired T-Test to test the effect of education on the 8 family functions before and after the intervention. The results show an average knowledge score increase of 21.76 after the intervention. The results of the Paired T-Test indicate a p value of 0,000, which signifies a statistically significant difference between the scores before and after the education on the 8 family funtions.Therefore, a good family role is very important in forming healthy living patterns in toddlers, making the active role of the family the key to supporting the optimal growth and development of toddlers. It is recommended that the education program be carried out regularly by involving cadres as active companions to support the understanding of mothers with toddlers in stunting prevention.

Published: January 2025

This study examines the Supreme Court's decision in the premeditated murder case involving Ferdy Sambo, focusing on the reduction of the sentence from the death penalty to life imprisonment. The research aims to identify non-legal factors influencing the verdict, analyze its implications for Indonesia's criminal law paradigm, and evaluate public responses following the cassation decision. A descriptive-analytical approach was employed, utilizing legal document analysis and the post-positivist paradigm as the theoretical framework. The study interprets judicial considerations within a dynamic legal context, integrating legal norms with reflective interpretations. The findings reveal that the sentencing change reflects a shift in Indonesia's criminal law paradigm from retributive to rehabilitative, as adopted in the new Penal Code. The defendant's remorse was a key factor in the sentencing reduction. However, public response to the cassation decision indicated a decline in public trust and engagement with the judiciary, evidenced by reduced public discourse compared to the case's initial stages. The shift from retributive to rehabilitative justice served as the basis for the cassation decision. This study highlights challenges in strengthening public trust in the judicial system, emphasizing the need for greater transparency and accountability in legal decision-making processes.

Authors: S Samsidar , S. Syamsuduha , Pababbari Musafir , Shafiq Kamaruzzaman
Published: January 2025

The development of Islam in Malaysia is an interesting phenomenon to study. As a country with a majority Muslim population, Malaysia has its own dynamics in the process of Islamization and the evolution of Islamic thought in this region. The process of Islamization in Malaysia cannot be separated from the central role of the Malay sultanates, which helped spread and develop the teachings of Islam since the 13th century. Through political power and trade relations, Islam was deeply rooted in the culture and identity of the Malay people. In its development, Islam in Malaysia underwent various transformations. From traditionalism to modern revivalism, Islamic thought and movements in the country continue to evolve in line with political, social and cultural dynamics. The Islamic revival that occurred since the 1970s also colored the religious landscape in Malaysia. The issue of the relationship between Islam and politics has also become one of the main focuses in the development of Islam in Malaysia. The interaction between religion and the state, as well as its implications for people's religious life, is a hot topic that continues to be debated. In addition, Malaysia is also known as a country with religious and cultural diversity. In this context, maintaining inter-religious harmony is a challenge for the Muslim community in Malaysia. The development of Islam in Malaysia also includes the aspect of education, where traditional Islamic education systems such as Islamic boarding schools are developing parallel to the establishment of leading Islamic universities. This dynamic has helped shape the character of Islamic thought and spirituality in Malaysian society.
EARLY DOCTRINAL DEVELOPMENTS AND THE ISLAMIZATION OF MOVAROUNNAHR
Authors: Primov Soatmurod Uralovich
Published: January 2025

The study of early doctrinal developments in Movarounnahr is critical for understanding the region's intellectual and theological evolution, particularly during the Islamization period. This research employs historical analysis, textual criticism, philological studies, and comparative analysis of religious doctrines to uncover the emergence and spread of theological schools such as Najjariya, Karromiya, and Moturidia. Primary sources, including chronicles, manuscripts, and inscriptions in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, provide insights into the social, political, and intellectual contexts of the era. The findings reveal that while Bukhara was the political center, Samarkand maintained its cultural significance, preserving traditional values and fostering new theological doctrines. The spread of Abu Hanifa's teachings, brought back by scholars from Kufa, significantly influenced the Hanafi jurisprudence in regions like Balkh and Rai. Support from the Abbasid caliphs further solidified the Hanafi school's presence in Khurasan and Movarounnahr, with Samarkand and Bukhara becoming key centers of Hanafi thought. These findings underscore the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in reconstructing the intellectual landscape of early Islamic Movarounnahr.

Published: January 2025

Child marriage is a complex and multidimensional social issue occurring in various parts of the world, including Indonesia. This phenomenon is influenced by diverse cultural norms, social pressures, and economic conditions. The practice of early marriage is often regarded as a deep-rooted tradition, where marrying off young girls is seen as a way to protect family honor and reduce economic burden. Although there are laws regarding the minimum age for marriage, their implementation is often inconsistent, and cultural norms frequently dominate. This research employs a qualitative approach to analyze early marriage from cultural, social, and Islamic private law perspectives. Data were collected through literature studies, including books and journals, to produce a comprehensive understanding of this issue. The analysis results indicate that early marriage negatively affects the quality of education and life for adolescents, their health, and contributes to the cycle of poverty. Therefore, this research advocates for a holistic approach involving all stakeholders to protect children's rights and reduce the practice of early marriage in society.

Authors: Rada A. O. , Konkov N. Yu.
Published: January 2025

Motorways are a strategically important part of a country’s infrastructure. High requirements for their condition stipulate regular monitoring of quality of the road surface. The large length of motorways in Russia and the impact of weather and climate conditions (seasonal temperature fluctuations, precipitation) emphasise the relevance of searching for non-destructive testing methods for road diagnostics that ensure short terms of diagnostic work and the use of minimal resources.

The considered existing solutions for detecting road surface damage include the use of ground penetrating radar, laser method, method of analysing vibration effects of road surface irregularities, detection of damage based on lidar data and mobile mapping systems.

The objective of the study was to develop an algorithm for analysing the condition of the road surface that allows detecting road surface distresses based on images obtained during the diagnostics of motorways by the KP-514-RDT airfield and road measuring mobile laboratory completed by the IndorRoad and RDT-Line software packages.

The development of an algorithm for detecting road surface defects was carried out using machine learning methods. The detected defects have precise georeferencing according to stationing of the measured road segment. As a result of development, a trained model was obtained that allows automatic marking of defects of different classes on the image. The developed algorithm is integrated into the software for managing the monitoring of the condition of regional and municipal roads.

Published: January 2025

The study considers the issue of increasing traction properties of freight locomotives under the conditions of the Eastern Polygon, the eastern part of the Russian railway network. The analysis results have allowed identifying design factors influencing the adhesion properties of locomotive and suggesting an extended classification of methods for improving the adhesion properties by selecting rational design solutions for the undercarriage.

It is established that for unified three-axle bogies of domestic freight diesel locomotives, the factors leading to a decrease in the adhesion coefficient in operation include a significant base length, unbalanced spring suspension and insufficient rigidity of the body supports resting on the bogie with the upper location of the kingpin, while for bogies of electric locomotives with brushless traction electric motors they include a rigid connection of the engine rotor with the wheelset, leading to the occurrence of high dynamic torques. It is proposed to use balanced pneumatic spring suspension and increase the rigidity of rubber-metal supports as measures for modernisation of diesel locomotive bogies, and for the prospective unified undercarriage of diesel and electric locomotives – to refuse from placing the fuel tank under the body and to use two-axle bogies with a frame-support traction drive with an axial gearbox, or with an axle-support drive of the aggregate type, having an elastic coupling, damping dynamic loads. The obtained results give grounds to believe that these measures will increase the coefficient of adhesion during operation from 0,27 to 0,3… 0,33.
Fostering creative and critical thinking through math games: A case study of Bachet’s game
Authors: Applebaum Mark
Published: January 2025

Students often perceive mathematics as a challenging and abstract subject, leading to disengagement and anxiety. To address these challenges, educators have increasingly turned to math games as a pedagogical tool to make learning more interactive and enjoyable. This paper explores the potential of math games, particularly Bachet’s game, as catalysts for both creative and critical thinking among pre-service teachers (PSTs). By analyzing several adaptations and variations of Bachet’s game created by PSTs, the study demonstrates how these games can foster creative problem-solving skills, strategic thinking, and collaborative learning. The findings suggest that when PSTs are encouraged to modify game rules and environments, they engage in deeper mathematical inquiry and develop flexible, innovative approaches to problem-solving. The paper concludes with a discussion on the benefits, challenges, and pedagogical implications of integrating math games into the curriculum to enhance creativity and critical thinking in mathematics education.

Published: January 2025

The main activity of peasants in the Valle de Conlara is cattle grazing in degraded native forests. In similar regions, excluding cattle during rainy seasons allows for better conditions of the herbaceous layer and soil in forests. Complementary use of implanted pastures makes this possible. The objective was to evaluate the effects of seasonal exclosure (vs. continuous) and complementary use of an exotic pasture, on forage biomass and quality, and soils. For two years, wet (842 mm/year) and dry (521 mm/year), three plots with a different treatment were monitored: forest with six years of summer exclosure, forest without exclosure, and Panicum coloratum pasture on a cleared site. The plot with exclosures vs. without exclosures had 2.5 times more native grass cover, 1.9 to 3.4 times more Aboveground Net Primary Production (dry and wet years, respectively), and four times more seed bank density. The soil had greater litter cover and infiltration capacity, lesser bare soil area, and higher percentage of C, P and N. The productivity of P. coloratum doubled native grasses in the rested forest. Using it during summer, allows the herbaceaous layer of the forest to rest and defers it towards the winter, maintaning better quality than the pasture.

Published: January 2025

In the Frailesca region of Chiapas, Mexico, conventional sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) production has decreased soil fertility, primarily by reducing its organic matter. This makes it necessary to look for alternatives to increase its yield, since it is an important cereal for animal feed. This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic and productive response of sorghum to the application of three doses of compost. It was conducted during the spring-summer 2018 agricultural cycle, under rainfed conditions in the municipality of Villaflores, Chiapas, Mexico. The treatments were a control and three doses of compost (10, 20 and, 30 t/ha-1), incorporated into the soil before planting. Four experimental plots per treatment were established using a completely randomized design. The response variables were agronomic and productive, and they were evaluated using analysis of variance and a mean comparison test. Both the agronomic parameters (plant height, stem thickness and biomass fresh weight) and the productive parameters (grain weight and yield, panicle length and weight) were statistically superior in the 20 and 30 t/ha-1 compost treatments compared to the 10 t/ha-1 treatment and the control.

The study evaluated the impact of fungicide programs (FPs) on disease control in soybean during the 2021/2022 season in La Paloma, Katueté and Nueva Esperanza (Canindeyú, Paraguay). The area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) was evaluated for the predominant diseases, defoliation, and yield. In addition, the control efficacy (CE) and the reduction in productivity (RP) were calculated. Variance analysis was conducted on factors FP, Location, and their interaction, using Tukey’s test at a 5 % error level for mean comparisons. Target spot (TS) and Cercospora leaf blight (CLB) were the predominant diseases in all locations. Asian soybean rust (ASR) occurred only in Nueva Esperanza and Katueté. FPs reduced AUDPC up to 64, 85 and 73 %, on average, for TS, ASR and CLB, respectively, leading to increased yield, on average, between 9 and 27 %, compared to the control. La Paloma achieved the highest yield (4651 kg ha-1) and lower defoliation (61 %), followed by Katueté (4330 kg ha-1 with 70 % of defoliation), and Nueva Esperanza (3739 kg ha-1 with 86 % of defoliation). This study provides strategies to optimize fungicide use in soybean management in Paraguay, highlighting sequential applications and rotation of modes of action.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the text of the chronicle mention of the detention of Polovtsian ambassadors on the Loknya River in 1127. On the basis of a set of sources, the issue of the possible route of the Polovtsian army and the place of their stay on the Vyr River is considered. One of the problems in localizing the scene of the event is that there are several rivers in the studied region called Loknya. One of them is a tributary of the Vyr River and in the nineteenth century was considered the place where the ambassadors were detained. At the beginning of the twentieth century, historians and local historians revised these conclusions and determined that these events took place near the modern city of Suja. For almost a hundred years, this interpretation was not in doubt and was considered to be settled in historical science.
However, the emergence of new data from archaeology, historical geography, and maps of the early modern period allows us to consider this issue in more detail. Maps from the first half of the eighteenth century show a small forested area in the upper reaches of the Vyr River, as well as a ford or crossing nearby. This location is exactly where the “steppe corridor” was located in the twelfth and first half of the thirteenth centuries, along which the Polovtsians moved to Kyiv and Chernihiv. The combination of several important facts allows us to assume with a high degree of probability that the events of 1127 took place on the Loknya River near the chronicle town of Vyr. The author proposes several possible routes of the Polovtsian army and provides arguments to confirm the version in favor of localizing this event there, and not in the basin of the Psel River.

After 2014, the conditions for early Palaeolithic field research in Ukraine changed because of the Russian aggression. Firstly, these changes became noticeable in the studies of Crimea and the eastern regions. Such changes are associated with the danger of conducting fieldwork and the impossibility of planning expeditions and field practices. In 2014, we still conducted exploration and dug a test pit in the east of the Luhansk region. However, since 2015, in connection with the occupation of Luhansk, the work of the Eastern Division of the Lower Palaeolithic Expedition of the Institute of Archaeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine was forced to stop.
The article aims to investigate there were no attempts to conduct archaeological reconnaissance in the east of the country in the Luhansk region. Our colleagues and patriots who found themselves in the occupied territory also carried out search operations and monitoring of Palaeolithic monuments damaged by the war whenever possible.
The scientific novelty of this research lies in its first-ever analysis and systematization of information about works 2014-2021 were carried out at known and newly discovered locations: Vyshnevyi Dil, Shturmanske, Lysychansk-Zhelatyn, and Osynove in the Luhansk region.
Conclusions. Part of the found artefacts were transported to the non-occupied territory of Ukraine and handed over to the Museum Fund of Ukraine. A crucial aspect of the study of the Early Palaeolithic was the processing and systematic transfer of the explored material of the Early Palaeolithic to the museum funds. In this direction, the museum fund of the State Historical and Cultural Reserve “Mezhybizh” became a hub containing scientific materials of the Early Palaeolithic from the east of Ukraine.
