Optimizing Splitless Injections in Gas Chromatography, Part II: Band Broadening and Focusing Mechanisms
Authors: Snow Nicholas
Published: February 2025

In Part II of our exploration of splitless injection, we will see that it is a surprisingly complex process, and that it is difficult to understand because we cannot see what is happening during the injection process. For this discussion, we will think of the injection process as beginning with the syringe plunger being depressed and ending with the start of a temperature program in the column oven. In most splitless injections, this process requires 30 s to 1 min. There are several band broadening and focusing mechanisms that affect the peak shapes, widths, and heights resulting from splitless injection.
Thinking and Feeling Matter: Utilizing Impact Assessment and Photovoice to Evaluate a Community Program
Authors: Ho Wing Chung
Published: February 2025

Background The benefits of adopting mixed methods have been widely recognized in evaluation studies. However, such an methodological approach is also criticized for its lack of rigorous epistemological concerns, or simply as a-paradigmic. Therefore, in using mixed methods, how knowledge’s truth value can possibly contribute to program betterment remains uncertain.
Purpose This paper aims to provide an example of how the use of a mixed methods approach in a community program can lead to reflections on its epistemological values and possibly result in program improvements.
Setting The evaluation took place in the longest cultural walk trail in urban Hong Kong.
Intervention The evaluation method employed a combination of impact assessment, participant’s photovoice, and multiple meetings with the program managers.
Research design A mixed methods design.
Data collection & analysis Relevant statistical and thematic analyses were conducted.
Findings The data obtained from the mixed methods approach, along with its underlying epistemological foundations, revealed a unique experience for the participants, encompassing both cognitive evaluation and emotional appreciation of the program. Based on these findings, relevant suggestions were made to enhance the program.
Complexity-Aware Evaluation for Learning: A Case Study of a Developmental Approach
Authors: Rosenberg Eureta , Kotschy Karen , Pollard Sharon
Published: February 2025

Background: Ongoing learning is vital for steering programs in complex social-ecological systems, because it enables implementers to change course when needed, and ideally contributes to system wide insights as well. While there are many calls and guidelines for complexity-aware and learning-centred monitoring and evaluation (M&E), there are fewer case examples of attempts to implement it in practice.
Purpose: This paper reflects on a multi-year case of an attempt to design and implement a complexity-aware, developmental and learning-centred M&E framework in a complex socio-ecological landscape, highlighting the challenges, adaptations and evidence of learning.
Setting: Olifants River Basin, north-eastern South Africa and southern Mozambique.
Intervention: Resilience in the Limpopo (Olifants Basin) Program (RESILIM-O).
Research Design: Participatory action-reflection research with data collection through document analysis, interviews and focus groups
Findings: Learning among program implementers was facilitated by working in new ways with standard M&E elements including indicator-based targets and theories of change, and through opportunities for shared reflection, including novel reporting templates, reflection days, and collaborative case studies. Challenges notwithstanding, the participatory, developmental M&E approach built understanding of and competence in M&E in the organisation. The “hybrid” framework that evolved successfully combined the need for accountability with the desire for organisational learning; and associated features were subsequently adopted elsewhere.

Published: February 2025

Background: EvaluATE, a federally funded evaluation hub, offers an array of resources and activities to strengthen evaluation capacity. However, there were some gaps across the full range of tasks that evaluators and evaluation users need to know how to do. The team created a framework based on evaluation tasks to guide their future evaluation capacity-strengthening work, with the aim of offering resources for all essential evaluation tasks.
Purpose: The article explains the need for a context-specific, task-based evaluation capacity strengthening framework, the framework’s relationship to the American Evaluation Association’s Evaluator Competencies, how the framework is being used, and lessons learned.
Setting: The Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation
Intervention: EvaluATE, the evaluation hub for the ATE program.
Research Design: Not applicable.
Data Collection and Analysis: The evaluation task framework was validated through a task-tracking study, Delphi study, and expert review. Insights for this article are based on the authors’ experience.
Findings: The main lessons learned for developing task-based frameworks to guide evaluation capacity strengthening include: (1) Be clear about the scope and purpose of the task list (for both internal and external audiences). (2) In addition to stating what must be done for a given task, say why. (3) Verify the appropriateness of the tasks with typical practitioners and experts within the programmatic context.

Authors:   Azerbaijan State University of Oil and Industry, Guliyev S.M
Published: February 2025

The purpose of the study is to determine the impact of perceived brand quality on consumers
purchase intention. During the research, data was obtained using the online survey method. Only four
hundred eleven 411 out of four hundred fifty three 453 completed surveys were usable. The results
of the analysis showed that the perceived quality of the brand has a positive and significant impact on
the purchase intention of consumers. As long as the brands perceived quality increases in the
consumers mind, so consumers intention to purchase that brand increases as well. Hence, there is a
positive relationship between these two factors, and the perceived quality of the brand has a positive
effect on the purchase intention. Although this study is about the relationship between two factors, more
factors can be considered in future studies.

Published: February 2025

In this study, we investigated the optical properties of the rhodamine B, methylene blue, and saffron dyes in the presented silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). We detected that the absorption of the rhodamine B and methylene blue increased by interacting with NPs due to plasmon-induced quenching this effected can be utilized to manipulate and enhance optical properties and as a laser active medium. The highest value of the absorption coefficient for pure rhodium tincture was 222.86 cm-1, and for saffron dye tinged with silver nanoparticles was 486.98 cm-1. We studied the nonlinear optical responses of silver nanoparticles and these dyes. We detected that the silver nanoparticles have a high linear response at all selected laser excitations. In additionally, rhodamine B has a higher nonlinear response at a wavelength of 450 nm, which was further enhanced by the silver nanoparticles. Methylene blue has nonlinear responses, especially at the maximum absorption wavelength of 650 nm, and saffron dye showed nonlinear responses at all wavelengths, but the best response was at the 405 nm laser. The nanoparticles enhanced the nonlinear refraction of the saffron dye to fit the absorption spectra. The highest value of the nonlinear refractive index for saffron dye a doped with silver nanoparticles at a 405 nm laser was 3.48 × 10-11. These results indicate that the addition of nanoparticles can enhance the nonlinear properties of these dyes with the use of dye-appropriate lasers in Z-Scan technology.

Background: Healthcare providers (HCPs) are disproportionately exposed to higher risks during epidemics such as COVID-19, which can have an increased potential to adversely impact their psychological, social, and economic well-being.
Objective: This study assessed the post-pandemic impacts of COVID-19 responses on healthcare professionals in Nigeria.
Method: 317 Healthcare providers (HCP) who were involved in treating COVID-19 patients in a Nigerian tertiary hospital were recruited into this study. Information on the pandemic's impacts was collected using the COVID-19 Responses Impact Questionnaire (COVRiQ). Data were analyzed using SPSS (version 25.0).
Results: The overall COVRiQ score was 16.0, suggesting moderate impacts of COVID-19 responses on HCPs. In addition, the COVRiQ scores were 18(90%), 16(80%) and 15(62.5%) for behavioural, social and economic impacts respectively. Across all domains, impacts were higher among females (p˂0.001), nurses (p=0.00), and HCPs aged 34 years and above (p˂0.012). Conclusion: COVID-19 responses affected various facets of the lives of HCPs, including behaviour and social and economic lifestyles. Appropriate post-pandemic support may be helpful in mitigating the post-traumatic experiences of frontline HCPs who were directly involved in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. This further suggests the need for more comprehensive preparedness planning against similar future epidemics.

Published: February 2025

The state's obligation to protect activists is a crucial aspect of human rights enforcement and democracy. Despite existing legal frameworks, both domestic and international, many activists still face significant threats in practice. The decision in Jepara District Court Case No. 14 Pid.Sus/2024/PN Jpa illustrates challenges in safeguarding freedom of expression, particularly on environmental issues. This case raises concerns about the inadequate implementation of anti-SLAPP policies, which aim to protect public participation. The ruling risks suppressing freedom of speech and creating a chilling effect on environmental activists. Protecting activists through legal reforms and consistent policy implementation is essential to fostering democracy, social justice, and public engagement in critical discussions.
Analisis Kesesuaian Honor dan Hak-Hak KPPS dengan Peraturan Desa serta Undang-Undang Ketenagakerjaan di Indonesia
Authors: Lola Ledy Melia Dina
Published: February 2025

Elections are an important pillar in a democratic system, and the Polling Organizer Group (KPPS) plays a strategic role in the process. However, high workloads, inadequate honorariums, and inadequate protection of rights are often the main problems faced by KPPS, especially in the 2024 Simultaneous Elections. This study aims to analyze the conformity of KPPS honorariums and rights with applicable village regulations and labor regulations, and to provide recommendations to improve the welfare and protection of KPPS. The research method used is a qualitative approach with data collection through in-depth interviews and direct observation. Research informants involved KPPS members, village officials, and other stakeholders. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to provide an in-depth understanding of the working conditions and rights of KPPS in the implementation of the 2024 Simultaneous Elections. The results of the study showed that the KPPS workload was very high, with working hours reaching more than 12 hours a day without adequate rest. This risks increasing physical and mental fatigue, as well as errors in carrying out tasks. In addition, the honorarium received by KPPS often does not reflect their workload, with several cases of non-transparent honorarium deductions by village officials. Protection of basic rights such as social and health security has also not been optimally fulfilled. The unclear legal status and lack of understanding of KPPS rights have led to low community participation in elections. This study recommends the need for stricter regulations regarding the management of KPPS honorariums, increased supervision at the village level, and intensive training to improve the efficiency and welfare of KPPS members. Increasing transparency in the management of honorariums and the provision of basic rights is also important to support the implementation of fair and quality elections in Indonesia.

Authors: Hanny Jermias Onisimus Salamena  , Moh. Saleh
Published: February 2025

Abstract. The Omnibus Law on Job Creation (Law No. 11 of 2020) brought significant changes to labor regulations in Indonesia, particularly regarding termination of employment (PHK). This law provides greater flexibility for employers in the PHK procedure, especially for economic or efficiency reasons, but raises concerns about the protection of workers' rights, such as severance pay. In this context, Law No. 6 of 2023 was enacted to strengthen the protection of workers' normative rights, including in the PHK procedures and social security. This law clarifies the provisions related to PHK, offers better legal certainty, and strengthens sanctions for employers who violate the rules. Despite challenges in implementation, both laws aim to create a balanced labor climate that supports job creation and investment without sacrificing workers' rights.

Published: February 2025

The Green Economy Index is an economic concept that prioritizes a sustainable economy and has a correlation to sustainable development. Green Economy not only includes aspects of economic growth but also places the importance of environmental sustainability, social empowerment as the first foundation. This aspect is the purpose of the research to form a strong basis in building an economic model that not only provides short, medium and long term benefits for society and the environment but can continue sustainable development in Indonesia. VAR (Vector Auto Regression) in the context of econometric analysis is a statistical method used to model the relationship between several variables using time series data. The analysis shows that the estimation results highlight that the contribution of Green Economy Index variables in measuring sustainable development transformation on economic growth variables is mainly influenced by energy consumption and carbon emissions, showing a significant impact of energy consumption and carbon emissions. Green investment in the short and medium term has the greatest influence by green investment itself, but in the long term the effect on green investment is carbon emissions and energy consumption. Furthermore, the variables of energy consumption and carbon emissions that have a significant effect are the variables themselves. IRF analysis shows the response of variables to changes and the importance of response stability in the short, medium and long term. In the Green Economy Index Model, energy consumption and carbon emissions become the main pillars with the encouragement of increasing green investment and then increasing economic growth. The analysis confirms the importance of adopting environmentally friendly practices, using renewable energy and increasing green investment in promoting sustainable economic growth without compromising the environment.
Sustainable finance in the EU: Financialization and its impact on greenhouse gas emissions
Authors: Spieker Noah
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the relationship between financialization and sustainable finance within the European Union, examining how market-based instruments are employed to address climate change. Using a hierarchical cluster analysis, the study categorizes EU countries based on their degree of financialization and compares their adoption of green finance instruments such as bonds and loans. Findings indicate that highly financialized countries rely more on sustainable finance mechanisms but do not exhibit a proportional reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. This highlights the limitations of market-driven solutions in achieving environmental goals. The study argues that by promoting sustainable finance, the European Green Deal stabilizes the existing finance-dominated regime of accumulation rather than facilitating a transformative ecological shift. The research suggests the need for comprehensive regulatory frameworks that address both environmental and economic inequalities. Ultimately, this paper challenges the efficacy of financialization as a tool for genuine climate action.
Vom Zwang der Lohnarbeit
Authors: Lauß Sarah
Published: February 2025

Der Sammelband "Coercion and Wage Labour", herausgegeben von Anamarija Batista, Viola Müller und Corinna Peres, befasst sich mit verschiedenen Mechanismen von körperlichen, sozialen, politischen oder kulturellen Zwängen in der Lohnarbeit. In 14 historischen Fallstudien werden Löhne als vielseitige Instrumente zur Bindung, Kontrolle und Ausbeutung von Arbeitnehmer:innen in unterschiedlichen Arbeitsbereichen – darunter Textilproduktion, Kriegsindustrie und Hausarbeit – vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart rund um den Globus untersucht. Widerlegt wird, dass Lohnarbeit per definitionem frei von Zwang sei. Vielmehr ist Entlohnung oftmals ein Spiegel von Machtverhältnissen in Arbeitsbeziehungen und mit physischer sowie emotionaler Abgrenzung der Arbeitgeber:innen von Arbeitnehmer:innen verbunden. Ein Novum ist der methodische Ansatz des Buches, dem eine interdisziplinäre und intermediale Perspektive zugrunde liegt: Die Textbeiträge treten in einen Dialog mit künstlerischen Illustrationen, wobei Text und Bild direkt aufeinander Bezug nehmen. Diese Methode der "Translation Loop" ("Übersetzungsschleife") stellt ein innovatives Werkzeug sowohl für die Untersuchung von Zwangsmechanismen in der Lohnarbeit als auch für die Analyse von Formen der Wissensproduktion und -rezeption dar.

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a significant pediatric health concern in Indonesia, but diagnostic and treatment pathways are often resource-constrained. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) offers a dynamic assessment of upper airway obstruction, but its predictive value for treatment outcomes in Indonesian children remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of DISE findings for polysomnography (PSG)-determined OSA severity and surgical outcomes in a multicenter cohort of Indonesian children.
Methods: A prospective, multicenter cohort study was conducted at three tertiary hospitals in Indonesia. Children aged 2-18 years with suspected OSA underwent DISE and overnight PSG. DISE findings were classified using the VOTE (Velum, Oropharynx, Tongue base, Epiglottis) classification system. The primary outcome was the correlation between DISE findings and the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) on PSG. Secondary outcomes included the prediction of surgical success (defined as a postoperative AHI < 5 and >50% reduction from baseline) after adenotonsillectomy (T&A). Statistical analyses included Spearman's rank correlation, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and logistic regression.
Results: 250 children (mean age 8.2 ± 3.5 years, 60% male) were included. A significant positive correlation was found between the total VOTE score and AHI (ρ = 0.62, p < 0.001). Tongue base obstruction (VOTE-T) showed the strongest correlation with AHI (ρ = 0.58, p < 0.001). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the total VOTE score predicting severe OSA (AHI ≥ 10) was 0.85 (95% CI, 0.79-0.91). In the subgroup of 180 children who underwent T&A, a higher total VOTE score (particularly VOTE-T and VOTE-E scores) was significantly associated with a lower likelihood of surgical success (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.28-0.72, p = 0.001).
Conclusion: DISE, using the VOTE classification, demonstrates good predictive value for OSA severity and surgical outcomes in Indonesian children.
