Introduction: Patients with purulent-inflammatory diseases (PID), especially those with allergization, manifest chronicity, low treatment efficiency, and the risk of relapses; the above actualizes the search for innovative treatment technologies.

The aim of the study: The aim of the study was to specify pharmacological (body-wide) and specific (immunotropic) effects of the immunomodulator galavit additionally prescribed in the context of basic treatment for patients with deep pyoderma, chronic pyelonephritis, adnexitis, purulent infection of soft tissues, complicated by atopic dermatitis.

Materials and Methods: The study included 331 patients with PID and 30 healthy volunteers of the same age and gender who were examined prior and following the basic treatment of each nosoform. The diverse clinical and laboratory examination options were applied to investigate 17 clinical, 7 hematological, 16 immunological, 13 metabolic parameters that were grouped into clinical, hematological, immunological and metabolic syndromes, and divided into links – cellular, humoral, phagocytic, cytokine, metabolic and antioxidant. The results were statistically processed using variational parametric and nonparametric techniques; this allowed calculating the coefficient of diagnostic value, diagnostic formulas of disorders and targets of galavit under various conditions.

Results and Discussion: Targeted pharmacological therapy with galavit reliably eliminates clinical, hemato-immuno-metabolic disorders in patients with PID, though dependently on the nosoform of the disease.

Conclusion: It was demonstrated that the correction of clinical and laboratory disorders depend on PID pathogenesis and allergization; the laboratory mechanism of therapeutic effects was specified.

Introduction: The study of the pharmacokinetics of glucocorticosteroids is often required to solve fundamental and applied tasks of pharmacology. HPLC methods based on ultraviolet detection are attractive due to their availability, but their sensitivity is low enough to study in vivo kinetics. In this study, we propose a method for the determination of dexamethasone in biological objects, based on the use of HPLC with UV detection and having sufficient sensitivity to determine the drug in biological media (blood and periarticular tissues).

Materials and methods: Extraction of dexamethasone from biosamples was carried out by liquid-liquid extraction with acetone in an acidic medium using atenolol as an internal standard. The analysis was carried out on a Kromasil-100 C18 column. A mixture of methanol with phosphate buffer in the ratio 50÷50, pH=5.6 was used as the mobile phase. Detector - UV, wavelength - 254 nm. The LLOQ of the method was 50 ng/mL; the calibration curve demonstrated linearity in the con-centration range of 50-1000 ng/mL.The method was used to detect the medicinal product in peri-synovial tissues of rats with an autoimmune arthritis model.

Results: This study demonstrated that intraarticular injection of the liposomal form of dexamethasone, compared with its water-soluble form, allows maintaining the active concentration of the product in the joint and periarticular tissues for a longer time, which creates prerequisites for enhancing its therapeutic effect.

Conclusion: The proposed method provides a sensitive and specific approach for measuring dexamethasone in biological samples, such as blood and periarticular tissues. Preliminary findings indicate that the liposomal form of dexamethasone may exhibit better pharmacokinetic properties than the water-soluble form, which could lead to improved therapeutic outcomes.
Collaborative Governance in the Development of Silk Commodities in South Sulawesi
Authors: Akmul Amrizal
Published: October 2023

This study departs from the fact that the silk sector in South Sulawesi is currently experiencing a decline, even though it is closely attached to the culture of the people of South Sulawesi and has broad and varied potential benefits. Silk has also become a priority sector in the provincial government’s development planning. In recent years, collaborative governance has become a concept that has been in great demand by academics. Collaborative governance has emerged to respond to implementation failures, high costs, and the politicization of public sector regulations. The focus is on each stage of public policy. It is a new paradigm to understand the existence of multiple stakeholders in public affairs. This study aimed to explain collaborative governance in the development of silk commodities in South Sulawesi, and case studies were used to analyze such models. I used a post-positivist research paradigm with qualitative methods. The government’s efforts to develop the silk commodity in South Sulawesi by implementing a collaborative governance process have shown results that have not been maximized in the upstream, manufacturing, and downstream sectors, which are still dominated by entrepreneurs. Therefore, the government’s role is needed to formulate policies that are more effective and capable of developing good collaboration with the public sector and society.

Published: October 2023

This study delves into the public-private partnership between the Cirebon Regency Government and Kanoman Palace, aimed at developing the Sunan Gunung Jati tomb into a religious tourism hotspot. The Sunan Gunung Jati tomb complex has become the most visited site by tourists in Cirebon Regency. The tomb complex of Sunan Gunung Jati, located in Astana Village, Gunung Jati District, has emerged as a popular tourist destination in Cirebon Regency. Despite being a public good, the tomb is under the management and ownership of the private sector entity Kanoman Palace. In order to facilitate the development of this public good within the private sector, the Cirebon Regency Government implemented a public–private partnership approach. This study adopted a qualitative research method with informants selected through purposive sampling. Data validation was performed using triangulation. The findings reveal that a public-private partnership can be an effective instrument for achieving agile governance. It also underscores the pivotal role of the local government as a facilitator in the development of religious tourism. Furthermore, it identifies the primary actors involved in the development of religious tourism at the Sunan Gunung Jati tomb as the Kanoman Palace and the local community.

Capacity Building: Institutional Reform in Makassar City Government Research Governance
Authors: Herianto Dedy , Akmal Ibrahim Muh. , Ahmad Badu , . Haniati
Published: October 2023

The implementation of research activities within the Makassar City regional government often overlaps with tasks and functions. This results in an inefficient and ineffective performance of the Makassar City regional Research and Development Agency as a support for the implementation of regional government affairs in the field of research and development. The purpose of this study is to analyze the extent to which institutional reforms have been implemented in the research governance of the Makassar City government. This type of research is a literature review with a qualitative approach to run a systemic review. This method uses a meta-aggressive approach to synthesize results, which aims to provide solutions to research questions by combining research results. Based on our research, it was concluded that the Makassar City government’s research governance has not been effective thus far. This is because there is still a high sectoral ego from the leaders of each regional apparatus to participate in conducting their own research in their organizations. Thus, it is suggested that the Makassar City government immediately carry out institutional reforms through the transformation of the regional Research and Development Agency into the regional Research and Innovation Agency, as mandated by the applicable laws.

Published: October 2023

Mount Merapi is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia and is located in Magelang. Klakah village is located in the Boyolali regency and is included in the Merapi disaster prone area, while Gantang village is located in the Magelang regency, which is included in the safe zone, away from the threat of Merapi. The purpose of this study is to determine the implementation of the “sister village” policy in the event that Mount Merapi erupts in the Magelang and Boyolali districts. This research was conducted using qualitative methods with data obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation with five research subjects: Klakah village FPRB, Gantang village FPRB, Klakah-Gantang twin village facilitator, Magelang district BPBD, and Boyolali district BPBD. The results showed that based on the indicators of the sister village policy implementation, the sister village has been running since 2019, but there are several indicators that have not been implemented optimally. Thus, there needs to be better cooperation between the BPBD, sister village, and NGOs so that the implementation of the sister village policy can be carried out optimally. The implementation of the sister village policy resulted in the following proposals: (1) an information system, (2) resource assessment, (3) disposition in the form of a committee, and (4) a contingency plan structure.

Authors: Manurun Tanduklangi Ferdy
Published: October 2023

Public trust refers to a community’s understanding of the company’s commitment to minimizing negative impacts and increasing positive benefits to the company’s mining activities. This study aims to analyze public trust in the implementation of the mining corporate social responsibility program in the North Kalimantan province. The research method applied was qualitative analysis by conducting in-depth interviews and a documentation study related to the mining corporate social responsibility program in North Kalimantan province. The results showed that public trust in the implementation of CSR programs in North Kalimantan province did not run as expected. This can be observed through the implementation of programs that are not transparent in the management of IUPs and information disclosure, which are still very limited. Similarly, accountability for program implementation is not good because of the non-detailed form of the activity budget report. Meanwhile, the government’s responsiveness still needs to be improved, both in terms of implementing the program and solving problems effectively. The government is also expected to be more assertive, have a mechanism for sanctions against companies that do not carry out the CSR program, and provide intensive guidance regarding the form of program implementation and budgeting.

Empowerment Policy for Indigenous Papuan Traders as a Conflict Resolution Strategy
Authors: . Ilham , Ohoiwutun Yosephine , Zaenul Muttaqin M.
Published: October 2023

This study focuses on the policy of empowering indigenous Papuan traders as a conflict-resolution strategy. A library research approach was used, and the data was obtained from literature sources relevant to the research topic. Data analysis was carried out in the following stages: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of this study indicate a sufficiently deep gap between indigenous Papuans (amber) and immigrants (komin). Indigenous people generally live within the poverty line, whereas immigrants live with adequate income levels. Inequality exists in various economic activities, where migrants play a more prominent role in controlling economic activities, while indigenous Papuans face challenges in competing due to various factors. This kind of polarization then gives rise to dichotomies in social life, which often leads to clashes with one another (conflict). The policy of developing a special market for Papuan women as a response from the government has not been able to fully address existing problems. Therefore, as a recommendation, an affirmative policy is needed fo the protection and empowerment of indigenous Papuan traders to maximize the sales of local cultural commodities. The ultimate goal is for indigenous Papuan traders to be more prosperous and able to compete with migrant traders. An affirmation policy on the empowerment of indigenous Papuan traders can also be used for conflict resolution. Various research results have shown that local community empowerment policies can be used as a strategy to resolve social conflicts.

Authors: Sarkawi Mochamad
Published: October 2023

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a value that reflects the level of poverty, literacy, education, life expectancy, and other factors in each region. The management strategy for increasing the Human Development Index (HDI) in North Kalimantan Province follows the concept proposed by Stahl and Grigsby (1992). Among the three aspects effectively implemented in the province of North Kalimantan, this can be seen from the formulation strategy dimension, which includes a long-term strategy as an integral part of short-term and medium-term strategies. The second dimension is the implementation strategy, which indicates that the North Kalimantan Province’s economic growth in the 3rd quarter of 2022 reached 5.39%. The third dimension involves evaluation and control, which focuses on simulating the Human Development Index targets for North Kalimantan Province in 2023-2026 by observing and realizing the growth of the Human Development Index (IPM). The goal is to achieve a growth rate of 39% and become a driving force in efforts to increase economic growth in the next quarter.

Authors: Aliwardi Muhammad
Published: October 2023

Village funds and their allocation are managed independently by the government of villages throughout Indonesia, including the villages in Majene District, West Sulawesi Province. However, the amount and allocation of village funds, managed by the village government apparatus, are prone to mismanagement or potential misuse, which necessitates proper supervision. The Inspectorate of Majene Regency, as the Apparatus District Government Internal Control (APIP), is tasked with overseeing the management of village funds for the 82 villages in Majene District. Internal constraints hinder the supervision of village funds, which is the main reason for the lack of budget inspection by the Inspectorate of Majene Regency, along with other constraints that will be revealed in this study. This research aims to analyze the extent of the role of the Apparatus Government Internal Oversight in the Inspectorate of Majene Regency in supervising the management of village finances throughout the district. The research method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques include interviews and observations as primary data, and document reviews as secondary data. Primary data sources were obtained through interviews with ten informants, as well as observations and document reviews. Secondary data were gathered from existing data within the office of the Inspectorate of Majene Regency, as well as data from the villages. The data analysis process involved data collection, data reduction, data verification, and drawing conclusions. The research results indicate that the Inspectorate of Majene Regency has not been able to audit all villages within a year due to budget limitations for inspection costs. As a result, inspections are conducted on a rotational basis. In terms of monitoring, the Inspectorate of Majene Regency has made significant efforts to monitor and provide guidance on governance issues related to village finances and other problems. Additionally, the Inspectorate has responded to all inputs concerning village issues, including conducting inspections, especially in villages nearing village head elections.

The Elusive 30%: Analyzing the Barriers to Female Representation in the Indonesian Parliament for East Nusa Tenggara (NTT)
Authors: Chatun Sri
Published: October 2023

This study delves into the evolution of women’s involvement in global politics, with a specific focus on their journey to leadership roles, using Indonesia as a case study. The research adopts a phenomenological paradigm and employs a qualitative methodology. Despite the existence of a 30% quota for women’s representation, the progress in increasing the number of women in legislative roles has only marginally surpassed this benchmark. This slow development underscores the need to address the issue of women’s representation, considering that certain policies lack a pro-women attitude, such as the Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence. By drawing from previous research, personal analysis, and interviews with women representatives in the Indonesian Parliament for East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), this research seeks to comprehend the obstacles encountered by women during campaigns and the implications of these challenges for their political representation. Additionally, the study investigates why the set quotas are not being met and the impact of the increasing yet still insufficient representation of women on government policies. Preliminary findings indicate a rise in women’s political representation, but the anticipated substantial impact on pro-women policies is yet to be observed. This study highlights the significance of the role of political parties in nurturing competent women leaders. Its aim is to provide recommendations to the Indonesian Parliament and commissions, particularly those addressing women’s health and employment issues.

Atribuciones causales de la pobreza en los países menos desarrollados
Authors: Vázquez José Juan , Panadero Sonia
Published: October 2023

El trabajo analiza las diferencias atribucionales sobre las causas de la pobreza en los países menos desarrollados a las que llegaron universitarios nicaragüenses ("actores") y españoles ("observadores"). La información se recogió mediante un cuestionario autoaplicado que incluía, junto a preguntas de carácter sociodemográfico, una adaptación ampliada del "Causes of Third World Poverty Questionnaire" (CTWPQ). Los resultados muestran un acuerdo entre españoles y nicaragüenses en lo relativo a las atribuciones sobre las principales causas de la pobreza en las naciones menos desarrolladas, si bien existen diferencias sobre la percepción del nivel de incidencia de las distintas causas en dicha situación. Se concluye que los universitarios nicaragüenses, más que los españoles, atribuyen las causas explicativas de la pobreza a factores de carácter disposicional de la población de los países menos desarrollados.

El propósito de este artículo es realizar un análisis crítico del uso del concepto de rearme para explicar las compras de armas por parte de diversos países sudamericanos. El empleo de esta noción no sólo es impreciso desde el punto de vista conceptual, sino también riesgoso desde el político. El concepto de rearme tiene un significado histórico muy preciso y específico que se vincula a situaciones en las que predomina una elevada percepción de amenaza interestatal y la espera del estallido de una guerra en forma inminente. Desde el punto de vista teórico y empírico, ni el significado histórico del concepto ni sus referentes empíricos están presentes en la región.AbstractThe purpose of this article is to critically analyze the use of the concept of rearmament to explain the purchases of arms in South America. The use of this term has not only contributed to the conceptual confusion but also to a risky political use of it. The concept rearmament has a specific historical meaning which is often link to situations of acute perceptions of threat among states and to the imminent break of war. From a theoretical and empirical perspective, neither the historical understanding of the concept nor its empirical referents are present in the region.

This research determined the implementation of the parents’ and teachers’ initiatives in teaching Grade 1 learners phonetic blending in the public elementary school in Cebu during the School Year 2020-2021 as the basis for a home reading action plan. It utilized the adapted descriptive-comparative research design using survey questionnaires and supported interviews to gather data.  The respondents are 84 learners with phonetic blending difficulty, 29 Grade 1 teachers, and 231 parents. Collected data were statistically treated using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and rank. Results showed that parent-respondents are mostly 29-35 years old, female, high school graduates, dominated by mothers, available materials at home are books and grandmothers as other learning adults at home.   Teacher-respondents are all females, under 29-40 years old, with masteral units, teacher III and taught for more than ten years.  Parents perceived the level of learners’ phonetic blending ability as skilled and less skilled for teachers.Moreover, the level of implementation of the respondent groups’ initiatives in the development of the learners’ phonetic blending abilities is perceived as implemented for parents and highly implemented for teachers. Results show that the parents’ and teachers’ perceptions are significant. Lastly, the extent of the problems encountered by the respondents is found to be high for parents and teachers. Hence, it is concluded that both respondent groups differ in implementing initiatives in phonetic blending during the pandemic. Adoption of the home reading action plan is recommended.

La calidad física del grano de frijol influye en la comercialización, se asocia con la morfología y cuantificarla permite identificar genotipos sobresalientes. Por ello, el objetivo fue evaluar las variedades Azufrado Higuera, Azufrado Noroeste y las líneas avanzadas: Mo 19-20-ERR2-9, Mo 19-20-ERR2-11 y Mo 19-20-ERR2-12. El diseño experimental fue bloques al azar con cuatro repeticiones. El rendimiento (t ha-1), peso de 100 granos (PCG, g) y el brillo del grano (%) se obtuvieron en muestras secas y limpias. El tamaño (mm2), largo, ancho, perímetro (mm), circularidad, color, brillo y luminosidad, de cada grano, se midieron mediante análisis de imágenes digitales. El rendimiento fue desde 2.14 hasta 2.45 t ha-1, sin diferencias entre genotipos. El tamaño de grano mostró correlación (p ≤ 0.05) con el PCG (r = 0.97) y con sus dimensiones (r ≥ 0.94). Las líneas avanzadas presentaron mayor luminosidad del grano (DSH = 0.74, p ≤ 0.05). Las líneas Mo 19-20-ERR2-9 y Mo 19-20-ERR2-11 tuvieron mejor calidad física, evidente en grano de mayor tamaño y con menor oscurecimiento (p ≤ 0.05). El brillo y la luminosidad permiten identificar la oxidación u oscurecimiento de la testa. La oxidación es lenta en Azufrado Noroeste y Azufrado Higuera, mientras que Mo 19-20-ERR2-9, Mo 19-20-ERR2-11 y Mo 19-20-ERR2-12 presentan resistencia.

The aim of this study is to review the experimental studies conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the narrative therapy approach. In order to investigate the effectiveness of Narrative Therapy, Turkish and English studies published between 2006-2022 (December) in the databases of DergiPark, YÖK Thesis Center, Web Of Science, Sobiad, Science Direct, and Wiley Online Library were searched. The keywords “narrative therapy” “collective narrative practice” “narrative therapy groups” were used in the search. As a result of the scanning, a total of 19 articles suitable for the purpose of the research were reviewed. These articles are presented in terms of research methods, study findings and therapy characteristics. The study findings show that narrative therapy is effective on dependent variables. The results show that narrative therapy has a preventive and remedial effect in group therapies with children, adolescents and adults.

Published: October 2023

Background and Purpose:It is critical to accurately measure and understand the nurse practitioner (NP) work environment in which individual NP information is gathered but decisions or inferences are made at an aggregated, group level. However, there is little research on preconditions of aggregating individual-level data into group level in nursing research. This study was conducted to assess the multilevel reliability and group interrater agreement (IRA) of the Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Organizational Climate Questionnaire.Methods:Secondary data analysis from a cross-sectional survey with 247 NPs in 112 practices across 6 U.S. states in 2018–2019 was used.Results:The generalizability coefficients and values of IRA were acceptable (> .70), and values of ICC(1) were significant (.18–.38).Conclusions:Aggregating individual NP data to a higher group-level work environment construct is acceptable.

Mangrove plants have the ability to accumulate heavy metals and help reduce the concentration level of pollutants in water. Sediment and leaves of Avicennia marina have the potential to be indicators of the heavy metal copper content in an area. The aim of this research is to determine the content of the heavy metal copper in soil sediments and leaves of the Avicennia marina mangrove in the Jagir River and Avur River in the Wonorejo Mangrove Ecotourism Area. The research method used is a descriptive method with a field survey. Sampling was calculated starting from the Jagir River flow in the Wonorejo Mangrove Ecotourism area (points A1, A2, A3) and the Avur River flow in the Wonorejo Mangrove Ecotourism area (points B1, B2, B3). Analysis of heavy metals in samples using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). The test results showed that the highest content of the heavy metal copper (Cu) in the sediment and leaves of Avicennia marina Jagir River were 21.05 ppm and 16.10 ppm respectively. The highest content of the heavy metal copper (Cu) in the sediment and leaves of Avicennia marina in the Avur River in the Wonorejo Mangrove Ecotourism Area, Surabaya is 20.50 ppm and 17.10 ppm. The correlation coefficient for sediment and leaves of Avicennia marina in the Jagir River is 0.822 and in the Avur River is 0.829. The correlation between sediment and Avicennia marina leaves is positive with a very strong correlation.
