Authors: Amieratunnisa Aniesah
Published: February 2025

The results of the 2018 RISKESDAS stated that 48.9% of pregnant women in Indonesia have anemia. This shows that the prevalence of anemia in pregnant women is still quite high in Indonesia. This figure tends to increase compared to the results of the 2013 RISKESDAS where the prevalence rate was 37.1%. The purpose of the study was to analyze the implementation of the program for providing Fe Tablets to pregnant women in the Jepara Regency Health Center area. This study was conducted qualitatively. The subjects of the study were 14 main informants and triangulation selected based on inclusion criteria and purposively. This study applied an interactive data analysis method. The results showed that the implementation of providing Fe Tablets to pregnant women experienced obstacles. The difference in the high and low levels of providing Fe Tablets to pregnant women was influenced by the understanding of village midwives, IEC media, and the availability of Fe Tablet stock. Suggestions from this study are that health centers need to make more effective innovations in promoting the importance of consuming Fe Tablets during pregnancy and there needs to be improved planning in the district pharmacy warehouse so that the stock of Fe Tablets is always sufficient for all health centers in Jepara Regency.

Published: February 2025

Public transportation is critical in supporting urban mobility, providing economic benefits, and reducing environmental impacts. However, Tacloban City, particularly its University Belt Area, faces significant transportation challenges, including traffic congestion, inadequate infrastructure, and accessibility disparities among transit stops. While many studies broadly explore urban transportation systems, this research distinguishes itself by addressing accessibility within a localized context, combining commuter perceptions with traditional metrics. By focusing on Tacloban City’s University Belt Area, this study fills a gap in understanding transit accessibility in densely populated, commuter-reliant urban areas. This research evaluates six transit stops—TS-1 (LNU), TS-2 (LNHS), TS-3 (EVSU), TS-4 (Card Bank), TS-5 (LBC), and TS-6 (LVD)—through data collection from 599 respondents and 10 days of traffic volume counts. Using Geographic Information System (GIS) heatmaps and statistical tools like Spearman's Correlation, ANOVA-Kruskal Wallis, and Dunn's Test, the study identifies patterns and variations in accessibility during peak and off-peak hours. Findings reveal that 83% of commuters experience waiting times of 10–20 minutes during peak hours at underperforming stops like TS-5, compared to 5–10 minutes at high-performing stops like TS-2 and TS-3. Additionally, 60% of TS-5 users report travel times exceeding 5 minutes, unlike other stops where travel times are predominantly within 0–5 minutes. Recommendations include increasing public transport availability, optimizing schedules, and enhancing pedestrian pathways and transit facilities. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers to prioritize investments and design equitable urban transportation solutions, contributing to a more sustainable and accessible transportation system for Tacloban City and serving as a framework for addressing similar challenges in other urban areas.

The development of digital technology has transformed business marketing strategies, one of which isthrough the live streaming feature on TikTok. TikTok Live provides business owners with the opportunity tointeract directly with consumers, build trust, and drive real-time sales. However, in practice, variouschallenges arise regarding the implementation of Islamic business ethics. This study aims to analyze thealignment of TikTok Live marketing strategies with the principles of Islamic business ethics, namely tauhid(unity), equilibrium (balance), free will, responsibility, and ihsan (benevolence). Using a qualitativedescriptive method and a sociological-juridical approach, this study finds that many marketing practices onTikTok Live do not fully comply with Islamic business ethics, particularly in terms of transparency, honesty,and consumer responsibility. Some business owners still use manipulative marketing techniques, such ascreating false urgency and making exaggerated claims, which can mislead consumers. Therefore, furtherefforts are needed to raise awareness of Islamic business ethics in digital marketing so that businesses canoperate not only profitably but also based on Islamic values and bring benefits to society.

Authors: Mehdi Zeina , Al-jilawi Ahmed
Published: February 2025

Large-scale optimization has become an important research theme in the evolutionary computing field. To take advantage of this progress, sophisticated algorithms have been merged in commercially inexpensive software, like python, to increase the aptitude of large data handling. In this paper, we propose an advanced algorithm, to compare Augmented and Penalty methods for resolving large-scale constrained problems of optimization. We highlight the advantages of an Augmented method in terms of faster convergence, better numerical stability and more robust performance while noting the behavior of Penalty Methods like parameter sensitivity issues, degraded performance near optimal and numerical instabilities. Using numerical experiments, our algorithm is quickly convergent and is more reliable.
Capitalización y reparto: un análisis comparativo
Authors:   Universidad del País Vasco, Zubiri Ignacio
Published: February 2025

En este artículo se analizan los sistemas de reparto y capitalización. Si el reparto es estricto, en épocas de envejecimiento no puede sostener un sistema de pensiones. Si se admite que parcialmente se financie con impuestos es superior en todos los aspectos a la capitalización. La capitalización no puede (por el coste de la transición) ni debe (por sus propiedades) ser la base un sistema de pensiones previamente basado en el reparto. En realidad, cubre menos contingencias, conlleva riesgos mayores y la rentabilidad (corregida por el riesgo y restando las comisiones y primas) no será alta. No tiene sentido dedicar recursos públicos a los sistemas privados (en vez de al público) pero quien insista en hacerlo debe centrarse en potenciar los sistemas de empleo y las cuentas individuales sin intervención de una gestoras de planes que saben más de cobrar comisiones que de obtener rentabilidad.

La evolución reciente del empleo: retos y perspectivas de futuro
Authors:   Banco de España, Izquierdo Mario
Published: February 2025

El impacto de la crisis sobre el mercado de trabajo español ha sido de una intensidad desconocida, tanto en términos comparados con otros países europeos como con previos episodios de recesión recientes, dando lugar a la destrucción de alrededor del 18% del empleo existente antes de la crisis y a un aumento del desempleo que más que ha triplicado su nivel en 2008. Este impacto de la crisis ha sido, aunque generalizado, relativamente heterogéneo, observándose una caída del empleo más acusada para colectivos de trabajadores, como los más jóvenes y aquellos con menores niveles de formación. A lo largo de todo este período, el empleo ha mostrado una elevada ciclicidad que cabría relacionar con las características institucionales del mercado laboral en España. En el futuro, la absorción del elevado nivel de desempleo se enfrentará al importante reto de ajustar las habilidades de los desempleados, con una proporción muy elevada de trabajadores con un nivel de formación reducido y con una incidencia muy elevada de los desempleados de larga duración, a las necesidades futuras de las empresas.

Published: February 2025

¿Hasta qué punto las ayudas directas y los incentivos fiscales a la I+D empresarial pueden cumplir el objetivo de aumentar la inversión privada en conocimiento? ¿Está relacionada la recepción de ambas ayudas con los posibles fallos de mercado que justifican la existencia de las mismas? ¿Tienden a aprovechar estos instrumentos a lo largo del tiempo las mismas empresas? Utilizando dos bases de datos de empresas industriales españolas, en nuestra investigación encontramos que existen diferencias significativas entre las variables que inciden en el acceso a deducciones fiscales y a ayudas directas; también detectamos una persistencia elevada en su uso. Nuestros resultados cuestionan la efectividad de estos instrumentos para estimular una mayor innovación, especialmente de los incentivos fiscales, si no van acompañados por otras políticas complementarias.

Authors: Mayo Elsa Destriana , Haerani  , Ahmad Munir
Published: February 2025

Biomass growth can affect the increase of corn crop production. Efforts can be made to produce good biomass growth, one of which is by adjusting plant spacing to ensure even distribution of nutrients to plants. Vegetation indices on sentinel-2 satellite imagery could used to observe the growth of corn plant biomass. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between sentinel-2 image vegetation index and corn plant growth parameters at a spacing of 70 x 40 cm, 70 x 20 cm and irregular. This research was conducted through several stages, i.e. (1) field data collection of plant height, biomass and leaf area, (2) downloading sentinel-2 image data for the period of December 10, 2022 - February 28, 2023, (3) atmospheric correction and image cropping, (4) transformation of NDVI and EVI vegetation indices and (5) data analysis using simple linear regression analysis to observe the relationship of NDVI and EVI vegetation indices to corn plant growth parameters. The parameters observed were plant height, biomass and leaf area. Based on growth parameters, planting distance of 70 x 40 cm produced good crop growth. Furthermore, growth parameters and vegetation index values of both NDVI and EVI showed a strong correlations at a spacing of 70 x 40 cm. In addition, the transformation map of the two indicices showed that NDVI vegetation index is categorised in the group of medium greenness, while EVI vegetation index is categorised in the group of high greenes. Based on the research results, NDVI and EVI vegetation indices had a strong relationship with the growth parameters of corn plants at a spacing of 70 x 40 cm. In other hand, spacing of 70 x 20 cm and irregular were categorised as moderate. It is found that corn plant growth parameters (plant height, biomass and leaf area) can be monitored using sentinel-2 satellite imagery.

Intimate partner violence among pregnant women in low-income countries continue to be on the increase and endanger the life of both mothers and their unborn child. As such it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of the incident of intimate partner violence among pregnant women. The objective of the study was to determine the feasibility and challenges of using the AAS tool by midwives to screen pregnant women for intimate partner violence in northern Nigerian. A case study qualitative design was used. Non-participant observation and focus group discussions were used to collect data from ten midwives who were purposefully selected to conduct screening of pregnant women. About 90 pregnant women were screened using the Abuse Assessment Screening tool in a tertiary hospital in northern Nigeria. Thematic data analysis revealed three themes, problematic question in AAS tool, timing of screening for IPV and pregnant women discomfort with answering IPV screening questions. Conclusion: The feasibility of using the original Abuse Assessment Screening tool is poor. A screening tool is important for screening pregnant women for IPV. For the AAS tool to be used, there is need for modification of it to suit the socio-cultural context of pregnant women in northern Nigeria.

Authors: Alkhazzar Hadeel , Moslem Bassam
Published: February 2025

Thyroid illness must be correctly classified in order to have an accurate diagnosis and effective therapy. Diagnostic accuracy and efficiency have both been found to improve with the use of machine learning methods. The decision tree algorithm has been shown to be useful for healthcare classification issues. Using a dataset of 793 patients, this investigation investigates the utility of the decision tree method for classifying thyroid illnesses. The results show that the decision tree algorithm has high rates of accuracy, recall, and precision for classifying thyroid diseases. The decision tree approach is simple, can deal with missing values and noisy data, and is straightforward to comprehend when used to the categorization of thyroid diseases. This research recommends feature selection, hyperparameter adjustment, and efficient data preparation as means to enhance the efficiency of the decision tree method. The precision and dependability of machine learning models for diagnosing thyroid diseases may be further enhanced by cooperation between data scientists and healthcare practitioners. This study finds that the decision tree algorithm is a valuable resource for classifying thyroid diseases and suggests further investigation into areas including algorithm integration, bigger studies, and real-time diagnosis.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT Background/aim: Although suicide is a multidimensional problem, depression has been established as one of the risk factors. In addition, it has also been shown that suicide risk and depression share common factors, among which rumination stands out. This study aims to explore how the relationship between depressive symptoms and suicidal risk is mediated by rumination and moderated by social support, considering sex as a control variable. Method: The sample included 1002 participants (34.13 % men) aged 18-75 years (M = 34.7, SD = 13.61). A moderated mediation analysis was carried out for depressive symptomatology as an independent variable, the rumination as a mediator, the social support as moderator and the risk of suicide, as a dependent variable (dependent variable). Sex was entered as a covariate. Results: Analyses revealed that the relationship between depression and suicidal risk is mediated by rumination and moderated by high levels of social support. Conclusions: It is essential to design preventive interventions against suicide that include social support networks and emotional regulation strategies focused on rumination management.
Creación y Validación de la Escala de Medida del Impacto Psicológico por un Accidente de Tránsito Grave: Propiedades Psicométricas
Authors: Ruiz-Pérez José Ignacio , Becerra-Vargas Julián Eduardo
Published: February 2025

RESUMEN Antecedentes/Objetivo: La victimización de un accidente de tránsito grave acarrea resultados negativos tanto materiales como a las personas. Los daños a las personas se dividen en físicos y psicológicos implicando éstos diversas áreas de la actividad del individuo (e.g., malestar clínico, deterioro social, deterioro familiar y de pareja, reacciones emocionales). Sin embargo, este conjunto de efectos adversos no se mide conjuntamente al no contar con un instrumento para ello. Por ello, se diseñó un estudio con el objetivo de crear y validar una escala de medida del impacto psicológico de la victimización por un accidente de tráfico grave. Método: Participaron en el estudio un total de 175 personas (25.7% mujeres) que respondieron a un pool de ítems sobre los efectos psicológicos de la victimización de un accidente de tránsito grave, la afectividad y el apoyo social percibido. Resultados: Los resultados confirmaron (validez de constructo), χ2(798) = 1469, p < .001, χ2/gl = 1.84; RMSEA = .0683, IC 95% [.063, .074)]; TLI = .799, una escala compuesta por 43 ítems y estructurada en 7 dimensiones (miedo post-evento, síntomas del trastorno de estrés postraumático, crecimiento postraumático, movilidad vial, emociones negativas, emociones positivas e impacto en el ámbito familiar). La escala resultante Escala de Medida del Impacto Psicológico de un Accidente de Tránsito Grave mostró una fiabilidad alta, α = .918, ω = .920, suficiente para ser aplicada en contextos aplicados donde se toman decisiones importantes. Asimismo, se obtuvieron evidencias de validez externa convergente y discriminante, así como de validez de contenido (modelos de bienestar subjetivo, clínico y judicial). Conclusiones: Se discute el alcance y la utilidad y validez de la escala en contextos aplicados.

Published: February 2025

The research has the clear objective of highlighting possible psychophysical damage in minors as a result not of physical or sexual violence or physical neglect, but rather as a result of frequent parental quarrels, experienced by the children in a traumatic way (witnessing violence). The inspiration for the present research was provided by a further 20 recent cases observed in the course of as many civil proceedings on the subject of child custody with highly conflicting parental couples. The research shows how witnessed violence can constitute a significant risk factor in the psycho-physical development of the minor and how, as such, it deserves particular attention in the context of prevention and therapy of subjects who have experienced similar events. It follows that "the role of victim", in cases of domestic violence, is not only attributable to those who suffer the violent actions (one of the partners), but also to those (such as children), although not being the object of such violence, he is involved as a witness/observer. The research also deals with secondary and tertiary prevention activities. This paper will consider: Generalities on the subject of witnessing violence; Previous research on the harm resulting from witnessing domestic violence between parents; The most advanced prevention and treatment strategies; The classification of batterers and feminicides in the primary prevention of intra-family violence; The negative effects of witnessing violence in childhood and young adults: from the development of brain morphology to mental and behavioural disorders; Targeted research with encephalic Nuclear Magnetic Resonance with VBM (Voxed- Based Morphometry); Further research on the subject of witnessing violence; The substantial difference between PTSD and C-DPTS.
CHRONOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES ON CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY: PAST, PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE
Authors: Scollo Luigi
Published: February 2025

This article aims to explore crimes against humanity through a
chronological lens, categorizing them into past, present, and future impacts. Firstly, it
delves into historical crimes, such as the destruction of cultural heritage and the erasure
of the historical origins of peoples, highlighting the long-term effects on collective
memory and identity. Secondly, it addresses contemporary crimes, focusing on the
persecution of minorities and the systematic violence they face, underscoring the
immediate and ongoing violations of human rights. Lastly, it projects into the future,
examining crimes that threaten future generations, particularly the destruction of
child identities through indoctrination and exploitation, as well as environmental
destruction, or ecocide, which imperils the planet’s sustainability. This tripartite
framework not only facilitates a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted

ПОГРОМ КАО ВИД УНИШТЕЊА ИДЕНТИТЕТА
Authors: Stevanović Aleksandar
Published: February 2025

У овом раду истражује се злочин погрома, могућност помирења
и проблем односа појединаца и заједница као актера у њему. На почетку рада
разматра се могућност увођења добра и зла као граничних етичких категорија
и разумевање њиховог места и утицаја на феномен морала. Посебна пажња
обраћа се појму зла у кантовској и перспективи православне традиције и питању моралне настројености као основи личног идентитета. У наставку рада,
објашњава се на који начин заједница, као природно стање личности путем
кога појединац развија своје иманентне капацитете може истовремено постати извор злочина. У том смислу се погром посматра као друштвени феномен
унутар кога једна заједница врши злочин над другом заједницом уништавањем
личног путем примене колективног идентитета. У трећем делу рада врши се
анализа погрома са становишта предуслова потребних да би се он извео, као
и последица које са собом носи. Посебна пажња посвећује се феномену одмазде као одговору на доживљени погром. Завршни део рада на примеру српско-мађарских односа проучава начин на који из почетне ситуације погрома,
преко одређених историјских и фаза моралног развоја може успешно доћи до
редефинисања односа две велике заједнице.
АНАЛИЗА ПРИЧА (ПРИСИЛНИХ) МИГРАНАТА И ЊИХОВИХ ПОТОМАКА О КОЛЕКТИВНОМ И ПОРОДИЧНОМ СТРАДАЊУ
Authors: Ljubičić Milana
Published: February 2025

У раду се бавимо темом која је у истраживачком смислу занемарена. Ријеч је о сјећањима на колективне и породичне трауме током Другом свјетског и ратова деведесетих на нашим просторима. Како бисмо указали на значај који меморијализација колективних и породичних траума
има на друштвену, породичну и личну будућност потомака оних који (ни)су
преживјели масовна страдања, разговарали смо са три генерације миграната
са подручја бивше СФРЈ. То су: они који су непосредно прошли кроз трауму
присилног прогона, потом они који су о овим страдањима сазнавали „из друге
руке”, а посебан увид у рад сјећања добили смо од потомака колониста у Војводину. Полазне претпоставке: да наши саговорници нису упознати са страдањима својих породица и колектива којима поријеклом припадају, као и да овакве
приче нерадо отварају са старијим члановима породица, показале су се оправданима. Осим тога, уочили смо да је тема дома и припадања заступљена у њиховим наративима, као и да нејасноће у том погледу наше саговорнике ометају
у креирају идентитета односно давања одговора на питање: Ко сам ја? Закључак нашег истраживања би се могао сажети овако: да бисмо могли гледати у
будућности, сва је прилика да морамо знати нашу прошлост.
Advantages Of Skin Closure With Staples In Orthopedic Surgery At Mardan Medical Complex
Authors: Fazliwadud Dr
Published: February 2025

Background: Wound closure is a fundamental aspect of surgery that impacts recovery, cosmetic outcomes, and postoperative complications. Among various closure techniques, sutures and staples are widely used, each with distinct advantages and limitations. Sutures offer precision and adaptability, while staples are valued for faster application and reduced surgical time. Despite their widespread use, comparative studies evaluating their effectiveness in orthopedic surgeries remain limited. Previous research highlights variability in outcomes such as infection rates, wound healing, and patient satisfaction across surgical settings, emphasizing the need for specialty-specific data. This study focuses on orthopedic wound closure, aiming to provide evidence-based insights for optimizing patient care.
 
Method: This prospective observational study was conducted in the orthopedic ward of Bacha Khan Medical College, Mardan, from January 2024 to December 2024. A total of 120 patients undergoing surgical wound closure with either sutures or staples were included. Patients aged 22–60 years were eligible, while those with pre-existing wound infections, immune deficiencies, or incomplete medical records were excluded. Data collection involved demographic details, clinical outcomes, and postoperative follow-ups. Key parameters included skin closure time, infection rates, wound discharge, necrosis, hypertrophic scar formation, and cosmetic outcomes. Statistical analyses were performed to compare outcomes between the two groups, with a p-value of <0.05 considered significant.
 
Result: A total of 120 patients (mean age: 42 years; 68 males, 52 females) were evaluated. The mean skin closure time was significantly shorter with staples (5.2 ± 0.9 minutes) compared to sutures (12.6 ± 1.5 minutes; p < 0.0001). Complication rates, including wound infections (6.6% in sutures vs. 3.3% in staples; p = 0.647), wound discharge (3.3% in both groups; p = 1.000), and hypertrophic scar formation (3.3% in sutures vs. 1.6% in staples; p = 1.002), were comparable. Wound necrosis occurred in 1.6% of suture cases but was absent in the staples group (p = 1.000). These findings indicate that staples offer faster skin closure without increasing complication rates.
 
Conclusion: Staples demonstrated a significant advantage in reducing skin closure time compared to sutures while maintaining comparable rates of complications such as infections and wound discharge. These results suggest that staples may be a preferable option for orthopedic wound closure, particularly in scenarios prioritizing efficiency. However, further studies are warranted to evaluate long-term outcomes and patient satisfaction comprehensively.
Risk Factors For Deep Surgical Site Infections Following Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery
Authors: Abdus Samad Dr
Published: February 2025

Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) represent a major concern in orthopedic surgery, leading to prolonged hospital stays, increased healthcare costs, and potentially life-threatening complications. SSIs are particularly common in patients with severe fractures, such as those classified by the Cauchoix grading system, where the risk of infection is heightened due to the complexity of the injury and the surgical intervention required. Factors such as nutritional status, diabetes, smoking, and the use of external fixators contribute to the development of SSIs. This study, conducted at Bacha Khan Medical Complex, Mardan, seeks to identify the clinical and laboratory markers that can predict SSIs in patients undergoing orthopedic fracture management, thereby helping to reduce the incidence and severity of these infections.
 
Method: This prospective cohort study was conducted from January 2024 to December 2024 at the orthopedic ward of Bacha Khan Medical Complex, Mardan. A total of 207 patients who underwent surgery for fractures were included in the study. Inclusion criteria were patients over the age of 18 years undergoing orthopedic fracture surgery. Exclusion criteria included patients with pre-existing infections, immunocompromised conditions, or those who underwent emergency surgeries. Data was collected on patient demographics, fracture grade (Cauchoix classification), laboratory markers (hemoglobin, lactate levels, creatinine, glycemia, and arterial oxygen levels), and the use of external fixators. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, and predictive models for SSI development were created based on these parameters.
 
Result: Fractures classified as Cauchoix grade 3 were associated with a higher incidence of SSIs (47%). Polymicrobial infections were found in 64% of the SSI cases, with gram-positive cocci, including Staphylococcus aureus, being the most common pathogens (72%). A predictive model with an AUC of 0.80 and a negative predictive value of 95.9% was developed. The significant risk factors for SSI development included low hemoglobin, maximum lactate levels, minimum arterial oxygen levels, and high glycemia levels. The use of external fixators was linked to a higher risk of infection in 38% of the SSI cases.
 
Conclusion: Cauchoix grade 3, and laboratory markers such as lactate levels and glycemia were strongly associated with an increased risk of infection. The developed predictive model with high sensitivity and specificity could aid in early identification of at-risk patients, allowing for targeted preventive measures and potentially reducing the incidence of SSIs in orthopedic trauma care. Future research should focus on refining this model and assessing the effectiveness of preventive strategies based on these predictive factors.
A Duodenal Ectasia Developed Upstream of a Ladd Adhesion and a Tubular Cholecystoduodenal Fistula : An Unusual Revealing Aspect of an Incomplete Common Mesentery
Authors:   Department of visceral surgery in the Military Hospital Moulay Ismail of Meknes, Morocco., Errabi Mohammed Nizar , Choho Abdelkrim , Menfaa Mohamed , Sakit Fouad
Published: February 2025

The incomplete common mesentery results from a 180° rotation stop of the primitive umbilical loop.
This rotation defect is most often associated with the emergence of adhesions at the attachment sites,
which usually lead to severe neonatal obstructions.
The entire small intestine is supported by the superior mesenteric arterial axis with a very short root,
hence the high risk of volvulus and mesenteric infarction.
We report an unprecedented case observed in the General Surgery Department at Moulay Ismail
Military Hospital in Meknes, Morocco. The case involves an adult male who was referred for further
management of epigastralgia and low-volume hematemesis reported during a repeated vomiting
episode. This case will be presented, labeled, and discussed in relation to the literature.
Wealth and Entitlement in Detective Fiction: Britain's History of Pillage in India
Authors: Lotni Keertika
Published: February 2025

The theme of the paper is to read evidences of loot and pillaging in detective fiction. Citing, Wilkie Collin’s novel The Moonstone (1868) and The Sign of the Four (1890) by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Britain’s responsibility for the economic position it pushes its colonies into has been investigated. The novels in question are both written by British authors, a fact that remains crucial to the context of the paper. In this case, the colony in focus happens to be India. Through the loss and gain of gems and treasures (respectively), the questions of subsequent wealth and entitlement are dealt with in the paper.
