Authors: Muhammad Reyza Nirwana  , Desi Pibriana
Published: December 2024

PT XYZ is a company in the field of construction, development, and management of construction projects. They are responsible for planning, managing, and implementing construction projects, both for infrastructure and commercial buildings. The previous assessment did not have a weighting of the criteria assessment and took time to process the value of each employee because the assessment still used a manual method (assisted by calculator calculations) so that the employee calculation process was processed one by one. This is not in accordance with the director's expectations and has an impact on the assessment being inaccurate and detrimental to the company in terms of time. Therefore, to evaluate the performance of top employees at PT XYZ, this decision support system application was created, with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method which can produce a simple Decision Support System with an easy-to-understand and logical concept in the PT XYZ Employee Performance Assessment.

Authors: Marnilin Feni , Irawan Rahmat , Widjaja Ichwan Rahmanu
Published: December 2024

Investors require information about the company's profit growth to make informed investment decisions. The company's performance can predict profit growth. This study aims to determine the effect of profitability as measured by the debt-to-equity ratio (DER) and inflation on profit growth in building construction companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2020, partially and simultaneously. This study employed the purposive sampling method to select a sample of 12 building construction companies' annual financial reports from the IDX in 2020. The analysis revealed that the debt-to-equity ratio (DER) significantly and negatively impacted profit growth, while inflation had no effect on it. Simultaneously, the debt-to-equity ratio (DER) and inflation had a significant effect on profit growth. Based on the analyzed results, the management of the company should lessen its reliance on debt sources for operational funds, enhance the efficiency of its own capital sources, and ensure fund transparency to uphold investor confidence and boost future profit growth. The composition of the company's total debt, which includes both short-term and long-term debt, should be carefully considered by management in relation to its total equity. The results of this study indicate that a partially debt-to-equity ratio (DER) has a negative and significant effect on profit growth, and when inflation increases, there will be a decrease in profit growth.

Towards a Unified Model of Narrative Memory in Conscious Agents: From Human Cognition to Artificial Consciousness
Authors: Rafiq Tanveer , Azam Muhammad , Khalid Muhammad , Akber Salman , Naseem Muhammad Sohaib , Sattar Mian Mohsin
Published: December 2024

This study seeks to bridge the gap between narrative memory in human cognition and artificial agents by proposing a unified model. Narrative memory, fundamental to human consciousness, organizes experiences into coherent stories, influencing memory structuring, retention, and retrieval. By integrating insights from human cognitive frameworks and artificial memory architectures, this work aims to emulate these narrative processes in artificial systems. The proposed model adopts a multi-layered approach, combining elements of episodic and semantic memory with narrative structuring techniques. It explores how artificial agents can construct and recall narratives to enhance their understanding, decision-making, and adaptive capabilities. By simulating narrative-based memory processing, we assess the model’s effectiveness in replicating human-like retention and retrieval patterns. Applications include improved human-AI interaction, where agents understand context and nuance, and advancements in machine learning, where narrative memory enhances data interpretation and predictive analytics. By unifying the cognitive and computational perspectives, this study offers a step toward more sophisticated, human-like artificial systems, paving the way for deeper explorations into the intersection of memory, narrative, and consciousness.

Published: December 2024

In the modern digital landscape, micro, small, and medium enterprises face significant challenges in reaching and engaging their target customers. This quantitative research study examines the impact of social media and email marketing strategies on sales growth in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in Sumenep District. It focuses on the effectiveness of social media and email marketing in the current digital era, where digital marketing strategies have become crucial for improving MSME performance and sustainability. MSME managers in the Sumenep district were surveyed using a specially designed questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using statistical methods to identify the relationships between social media use, email marketing, and MSME sales growth. The results reveal that social media strategies substantially influence MSME sales growth by increasing visibility, customer engagement, and brand awareness. However, email marketing has not significantly impacted MSME sales in the district, possibly due to limited adoption among MSME managers. This lack of adoption may be attributed to factors such as limited knowledge, resources, or the perceived effectiveness of email marketing among MSME owners in the region. The findings suggest that investing in social media marketing can be a viable strategy for MSMEs in Sumenep District to drive sales growth. Besides that, email marketing may require further education and support to increase adoption and effectiveness. This study provides insights that can help MSME owners and policymakers in Sumenep District develop more effective digital marketing strategies to enhance the performance and competitiveness of local businesses.

Enhancing Multi-Object Tracking with Compact Model Adjustment
Authors: Cheewaprakobkit Pimpa
Published: December 2024

Tracking human movement and interactions in complex environments is a key challenge in computer vision, especially for multi-object tracking. Transformer-based models have shown promise in addressing these challenges due to their capacity to recognize complex patterns across sequences. However, their high computational demands and substantial training data requirements often restrict their real-world applicability. This study aimed to enhance multi-object tracking by introducing a Compact Model Adjustment approach that integrates trainable rank-decomposition matrices within the Transformer architecture. This approach involves freezing the pre-trained model weights and adding trainable low-rank matrices to each layer, substantially reducing the number of parameters that need updating during training. This design allows the model to retain its pre-trained knowledge while efficiently adapting to new tasks, thereby reducing the overall computational load. Additionally, the proposed approach utilizes data from both the current and previous frames to refine object localization and association. Experimental results on the MOT17 benchmark demonstrated that this method achieved a Multiple Object Tracking Accuracy of 71.0, comparable to state-of-the-art techniques while enhancing computational efficiency. This work provides a practical solution for real-world applications in areas such as surveillance, autonomous driving, and sports analytics.

Authors: Rahayu Inong sri rahayu , Putera Feandi
Published: December 2024

Background: Exploitation is a form of crime and violence that can jeopardize a child’s future. Adolescents who frequently watch exploitative content are more likely to exhibit aggressive tendencies and may become desensitized to violence in daily life, leading to both physical and psychological consequences. This study aims to explore the relationship between the habit of watching exploitative shows and aggressive behavior among adolescents.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 76 adolescents in Aceh, Indonesia. Data on demographics, viewing habits of exploitative shows, and aggressive behavior were collected using a researcher-modified questionnaire.
Results: Over half of the respondents were female (57.9%), with the majority categorized as heavy viewers of exploitative shows (69.7%), and aggressive behavior identified in 59.2% of participants. A significant association was found between the habit of watching exploitative shows and aggressive behavior (p-value = 0.002, OR = 5.790).
Conclusion: Adolescents who frequently consume exploitative content struggle to regulate their behavior effectively, as the dependency on such shows fosters aggression. Adequate supervision of adolescents is crucial, and it is recommended that social media platforms prioritize broadcasting educational content to promote positive personality development.

This paper presents a comprehensive correlation analysis among India (S&P BSE SENSEX) and ten prominent Asia-Pacific countries— China (SSE Composite), Israel (TA-125), Japan (Nikkei), Hong Kong (Hang Seng), Taiwan (TSEC), Indonesia (Jakarta Composite), South Korea (KOSPI), Australia (S&P/ASX 00), Singapore (FTSE), and Russia (MOEX Russia)—across two pivotal phases: the global financial crisis period, spanning from August 7, 2007, to April 16, 2009 and post-financial crisis period, from April 20, 2009, to December 30, 2019. Using a combination of descriptive statistics and correlation analysis on the calculated returns from daily adjusted market closing series of these indices, the study assesses the degree of association among the indices of India and the ten economies, with normality diagnostics guiding the selection of the appropriate correlation methodology. The normality tests indicate that none of the return series follow normal distribution and validate the use of the non-parametric Spearman Rank Correlation method. Results reveal persistently weak correlations among the S&P BSE SENSEX and other indices, suggesting scope for minimal co-movement across the indices in both periods. Although correlation among returns from Indian and ten Asia-Pacific indices grew from the crisis to the post-crisis period, no strong association emerged, showing only modest inter-market linkages in both intervals.
A Case Report on Prolonged Response with T-DM1 in Recurrent Advanced Breast Cancer Setting
Authors: Walia Dr Meenu
Published: December 2024

Breast cancer holds the dubious distinction of being the most prevalent malignant tumour among women worldwide. The 5-year survival rate for patients with advanced or metastatic forms of the disease is estimated at a mere 23%, with approximately 20% of cases exhibiting an amplification of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). HER2 overexpression was linked to a dismal prognosis prior to the advent of targeted HER2 therapies. The introduction of ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) has emerged as one of the standard treatment options for HER2-positive breast cancer patients who experience a recurrence or progression of the disease. This case concerns a patient with recurrent metastatic breast cancer who achieved an unusually extended period of time without the disease progressing while on T-DM1 treatment. After experiencing disease progression on multiple treatment lines involving trastuzumab, the patient achieved a nearly complete clinical remission (cCR) with T-DM1 therapy. The availability of cost-effective biosimilars has expanded access to advanced biologic therapies, which were previously limited to a small segment of the population due to the cost barrier.
Primary Osseointegrated Free Flap in a Middle-Aged Oral Cancer Patient with Excellent Functional and Anatomical Outcomes: A Case Report
Authors: Gupta Dr Pawan
Published: December 2024

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity is a significant global health concern, accounting for approximately 90% of all oral malignancies. This case report describes a 45-year-old male diagnosed with SCC of the right alveolus sulcus extending to the buccal mucosa. The treatment involved a multi-disciplinary team employing advanced planning and surgical techniques, including 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) technology, for precise preoperative planning of the composite resection and reconstruction. This approach facilitated accurate mandibular resection, fibula flap harvest, and immediate dental implant placement, paving the way for future prosthetic rehabilitation. This report highlights the importance of comprehensive treatment planning and the integration of cutting-edge technologies in managing oral SCC. The outcome was a scarless, contoured face with excellent anatomical and functional outcomes.
Osimertinib for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Exon 20 Insertion and Exon 21Osimertinib for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Exon 20 Insertion and Exon 21 L858R Mutations in Lung Adenocarcinoma L858R Mutations in Lung Adenocarcinoma
Authors: Arora Shruti
Published: December 2024

Patients with lung adenocarcinoma harbouring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are usually treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, patients with lung adenocarcinoma harbouring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations are generally resistant to TKIs. Herein, we report the case of a woman who presented with right shoulder pain for 6 months after undergoing left lower lobectomy for lung adenocarcinoma in 2017. Imaging revealed extensive disease spread, and biopsy confirmed adenocarcinoma, with EGFR exon 20 insertion and exon 21 L858R mutations. After treatment with palliative intensity-modulated radiotherapy to the right shoulder, the patient was prescribed osimertinib 80mg. However, a month into the treatment, the patient developed neutropenia. Osimertinib was discontinued and later restarted at half the initial dose. The patient subsequently showed a dramatic improvement in both haematological and oncological parameters, suggesting that reduced-dose osimertinib is effective for patients with adenocarcinoma harbouring EGFR exon 20 insertion and exon 21 L858R mutations.
Primary Extra-axial Glioblastoma Mimicking Meningioma: Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: Sharma Gaurav
Published: December 2024

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumour in adults. On radiology, diagnostic dilemmas can arise with other brain pathologies like metastasis, brain abscess, and lymphoma. However, GBM mimicking a meningioma on radiology has been rarely reported. Here, we report a case of GBM with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features suggestive of meningioma.

A 46-year-old female presented with a one-month history of headaches. The MRI brain suggested a broad-based extra-axial mass lesion in the left frontal convexity with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cleft sign with compression of underlying brain parenchyma. Overall, the MRI brain was suggestive of a cystic meningioma. The patient underwent gross total resection of the tumour under microscopy, and final histopathology confirmed GBM.

Although GBM is usually an intra-axial tumour, it may present as an extra-axial mass lesion with radiological features mimicking meningioma. Therefore, it should be considered a differential diagnosis in patients with an extra-axial tumour displaying atypical malignant features.

Mechanisms of Synaptic Plasticity Disruption in Epilepsy: Advances in Understanding and Therapeutic Innovations
Authors: Varshney Prabhat
Published: December 2024

This review study provides an in-depth examination of the processes underlying synaptic plasticity disruption in epilepsy, with a focus on recent advances in understanding and treatment development. Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder affecting around 1% of the global population. It is characterised by recurrent, unprovoked seizures caused by aberrant brain activity. The condition impacts various aspects of life, including cognitive function and emotional well-being. Recent research has shown synaptic plasticity — the capacity of synapses to develop or weaken over time — as an important role in epilepsy aetiology. Aberrant synaptic plasticity, such as excessive long-term potentiation (LTP) and deficient long-term depression (LTD), contributes to the formation of hyperexcitable brain circuits and increases seizure risk.

In epilepsy, key mechanisms impacting synaptic plasticity include neurotransmitter imbalances, synaptic remodelling, inflammatory responses, and genetic and epigenetic factors. Despite the availability of antiepileptic medications (AEDs), approximately one-third of patients remain resistant to treatment, emphasising the need for innovative therapeutic methods. Current treatment approaches include AEDs, surgical procedures, metabolic therapies, and new treatments such as gene therapy and nanotechnology-based solutions.

The aim of this critical review is to comprehend and target maladaptive alterations in synaptic plasticity with the intent to develop more effective therapies. It explores innovative treatment targets, precision medicine, advanced neuromodulation techniques, and the integration of epigenetic therapies. This research addresses not only future goals but also the challenges hindering the development of novel treatments, given the complexity of synaptic plasticity and the heterogeneity of epilepsy. This will be critical for overcoming present therapy barriers and improving patient outcomes.
