Authors: Giantika Gan Gan , Qona’ah Siti
Published: October 2024

Saguling Dam is a man-made reservoir located in West Bandung Regency, which dams the flow of the Citarum River, the largest river in West Java. The current condition of the dam has been heavily polluted by an abundance of water hyacinth and a buildup of household waste covering the river's surface. According to data from the Bandung City Sanitation Company in 2016, approximately 2.5 million residents produced 1,500 - 1,600 tons of waste per day. However, only 1,100 - 1,200 tons were transported to the Sarimukti Final Disposal Site (TPA), and 150 - 250 tons were processed by residents. The remaining 150 - 250 tons of waste were disposed of in Citarum River's tributaries. PLN (State Electricity Company) implemented a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program themed "Green Employee Involvement" through community empowerment efforts aimed at addressing the waste problems in the Saguling Dam. The "Green Employee Involvement" program, in collaboration with the Bening Saguling Foundation, was carried out in celebration of World Environment Day 2024. The research methodology used is qualitative, employing a case study approach. Data collection methods include literature review and observation. The research findings show that PLN's Corporate Social Responsibility program, themed "Green Employee Involvement" in collaboration with the Bening Saguling Foundation, has had a positive impact on environmental preservation while also providing economic benefits to the community in the Saguling Dam area, Bandung, West Java.
Examining the Impact of Digital Economy on Consumer Preferences in the Metaverse Era: An Empirical Study on the Role of NFTs and Tokenization in Changing Purchase Intentions
Authors: Wijoyo Agung
Published: October 2024

This study aims to investigate the impact of the digital economy on consumer preferences in the Metaverse era, focusing on the role of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and tokenization in changing purchase intentions. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study combines quantitative and qualitative analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of the key determinants of consumer purchase intentions in a rapidly evolving digital context. The results of the quantitative analysis show that perceived value, trust in blockchain technology, and user experience significantly influence consumer purchase intentions towards NFTs. Qualitative analysis through in-depth interviews reveals that scarcity, digital ownership, and community involvement are the main factors driving NFT adoption, while lack of technological understanding and regulatory uncertainty are the main barriers. This study also introduces novelty through the use of machine learning-based sentiment analysis and social network analysis to explore the role of social interactions in the formation of purchase intentions. These findings make important contributions to the literature on the digital economy by offering new insights into consumer dynamics in the Metaverse and highlighting the need for marketing strategies that focus on creating community value and immersive user experiences. Practical implications of this study include the need for consumer education and clear regulations to increase NFT adoption, as well as marketing strategies that leverage the emotional value and scarcity of digital assets. This research contributes to a better understanding of consumer behavior in the digital age and offers recommendations for further research in this area.
Regulation of the Role of Mediators in Efforts to Resolve Employment Disputes: A Comparative Study of Indonesia and United Kingdom
Authors: Hasbi Hasnan , Larissa Dea
Published: October 2024

This study aims to examine the regulatory frameworks for mediators in employment dispute resolution in Indonesia and the United Kingdom. The research method involves a comparative analysis of the two countries' approaches to regulating the mediation process, mediator qualifications, and the enforceability of mediated agreements. The findings of the study indicate that a robust regulatory environment is crucial in ensuring the credibility and reliability of the mediation process, which in turn increases the willingness of parties to engage in mediation and improves the overall outcomes of employment disputes. The research identifies key considerations for the development of a future regulatory framework, including the need to strike a balance between confidentiality and transparency, strengthen the enforceability of mediated agreements, and harmonize the standards for mediator training, accreditation, and ethical guidelines. The research results suggest that the implementation of a regulated system for case reporting, the development of specialized tribunals or procedures for efficient enforcement of mediated agreements, and the establishment of comprehensive national standards for mediator qualifications and continuous professional development would contribute to the overall effectiveness of mediation as a dispute resolution mechanism in both developed and developing country contexts.
Maintaining Malay Culture amidst the Current of Globalization
Authors: Aditia Fanita
Published: October 2024

This globalization has led to political, economic and cultural integration. Malay culture is now being hit by globalization. This is because many foreign cultures have been allowed to enter regions that have a Malay feel, both through print media and electronic media. With the fading of Malay culture, the identity of the Malay community has also faded, which is characterized by people who are innocent, polite, modest, and able to adapt to various cultures without letting go of their Malayness. The aim of this article is to explain the efforts that can be made to preserve Malay culture amidst the rapid flow of globalization. This paper uses library research research methods. The results of this research are that the process of preserving Malay culture must of course come from public awareness first, then it can be done by means of culture experience and culture knowledge.
Automatisk rettet eksamen i generell kjemi
Authors: Beerepoot M. T. P. , Kosonen J. A.
Published: October 2024

En god avsluttende eksamen vurderer i hvilken grad intendert læringsutbytte har blitt oppnådd på en objektiv, reproduserbar og helst autentisk måte. Det er imidlertid lite tilfredsstillende hvis en faglærer bruker mye tid på vurdering av læring framfor vurdering for læring underveis i semesteret. Derfor kan det være attraktivt å utforske muligheter med en digital automatisk rettet eksamen, spesielt i emner med mange studenter. I dette bidraget beskriver vi hvorfor og hvordan vi har lagt om en eksamen i et emne i generell kjemi fra en sekstimers bruk-og-kast-eksamen på papir til en tretimers gjenbrukbar automatisk rettet digital eksamen. Vi drøfter også fordeler og ulemper med å bruke en slik eksamen som skoleeksamen eller hjemmeeksamen, systematisk kvalitetssikring av eksamensoppgavene, spørsmål knyttet til sensorens rolle i sensur av en automatisk rettet eksamen, graden av autentisitet for en slik eksamensform og avslutningsvis også overførbarhet til andre fag. Selv om en automatisk rettet eksamen ikke vil være den beste løsningen i alle fag og på alle nivåer, så mener vi at den kan være verdt å vurdere som eksamensform i grunnleggende realfaglige emner med mange studenter.
Junia, Missionary Partnership, and Honor: The Discourse Function of Romans 16:7
Authors: Windsor Lionel James
Published: October 2024

Scholarly interest in Paul’s reference to Junia in Rom 16:7 has tended to focus on Junia’s gender, status as “apostle,” authority, and role. This article explores a question that has received less attention but has the potential to shed further light: the discourse function of the reference. The article first explores relevant discourse elements of Rom 16, then examines how these elements are prepared for in Rom 1–15, before returning to focus on the details of Rom 16:7. It finds that the reference to Andronicus and Junia as “notable among the apostles” helps Paul to further establish and strengthen missionary partnership between himself and the believers in Rome. It is also a concrete application of eschatological categories of honor, informed by the gospel of God’s grace in Christ. As a Jewish woman who suffers alongside Paul for the gospel mission, Junia is especially honored by Paul’s descriptions.
Speaking Double: Parody as Resistance in Nineteenth-Century American Women’s Poetry
Authors: Petrino Elizabeth A.
Published: October 2024

Nineteenth-century American women poets wrote parodies to challenge the sentimental portrayals of women and resist literary commercialism. Building on Mikhail Bakhtin’s and Linda Hutcheon’s theories of the dialogic and literary parody, this article explores how Lydia Sigourney (1791–1865) and Phoebe Cary (1824–71) parody male authors such as Poe and Longfellow to register their critiques while ostensibly maintaining a demure image for their readers. Their parodies also manifest subversive intent by speaking from and on behalf of marginalized groups, including women, the working class, and Native Americans, and by indicating support for environmental justice.
“Mom, I am a rich man”: Cher, the Straight Man, and the Hidden History of Feminist Humor
Authors: Willett Julie
Published: October 2024

Before Cher was the queen of pop, she was a queen of comedy whose feminist punchlines allowed her to negotiate limited verbal space in a male-dominated entertainment industry. She began her comedic career in the 1960s, although it was not until the early 1970s that Cher’s comedic wit, often targeting her then husband and costar Sonny Bono, got noticed, helping to rocket the couple from nightclubs to television stardom. Considered as safe but sexy, The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour (1971–74) featured the straight man and the fashionista’s no-holds-barred humor that together made feminism more palatable for middle-of-the-road America. To be sure, Cher’s longevity reflects her many talents as an entertainer, but her own brand of comedic cool has continued to inspire a feminist fandom that spans generations.

Este estudo investiga o impacto da anestesia geral no desenvolvimento neurocognitivo infantil, com foco em exposições antes dos quatro anos. A revisão abrange diversas meta-análises e estudos prospectivos, evidenciando um risco aumentado de déficits comportamentais e motores em crianças expostas à anestesia, especialmente em múltiplas ocasiões. Embora os efeitos na inteligência geral sejam limitados, foram relatados problemas como distúrbios comportamentais e dificuldades motoras. Alternativas, como a anestesia intravenosa e agentes como dexmedetomidina e remifentanil, mostraram potencial para reduzir complicações neurocognitivas. Esses resultados ressaltam a importância da cautela na administração de anestesia em pacientes pediátricos, principalmente em procedimentos repetidos. Mais pesquisas prospectivas são necessárias para confirmar esses efeitos e identificar estratégias que possam mitigar os riscos associados à anestesia geral em crianças. A atenção a esses aspectos é crucial para garantir a segurança e o bem-estar no desenvolvimento infantil, orientando práticas anestésicas mais seguras. A discussão sobre o impacto da anestesia no desenvolvimento neurocognitivo continua relevante, demandando mais investigações para oferecer diretrizes adequadas para médicos e pais.

Published: October 2024

This editorial reflects on the research, which investigates the potential of serum markers to predict the severity of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections. Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is a prevalent cause of respiratory infections in children, often leading to significant morbidity. Predicting the severity of MPP can significantly enhance patient management and outcomes. This editorial reviews the role of specific laboratory markers: (1) Lactate dehydrogenase; (2) Interleukin (IL)-6; (3) IL-10; (4) Tumor necrosis factor-α; and (5) D-dimer in predicting the severity of MPP in pediatric patients. Elevated levels of these markers are strongly associated with severe cases of MPP, providing clinicians with valuable tools for early diagnosis and targeted intervention.

The Impact of Occupational Pressure on Integrated Education among Kindergarten Teachers
Authors: Guo Qinyu
Published: October 2024

Due to the complexity and specificity of the physical and mental development of special needs children, there are significant individual differences that require special school teachers to put in more effort in their work. However, due to the imbalance between the actual teaching effectiveness of teachers and their efforts, they are prone to negative psychological states such as occupational burnout and self-doubt. With the increasing professional pressure of kindergarten teachers, it affects the implementation of integrated education. Integrated education aims to promote mutual understanding and respect among children with different abilities and backgrounds. However, in reality, current preschool teachers are facing issues such as diverse needs of young children, insufficient teaching resources, and career development pressures, which affect teaching effectiveness and learning outcomes for young children. Therefore, it is necessary for the education department and all sectors of society to pay attention, solve problems, achieve the goal of integrated education, and enable children to grow up in a good environment.

Authors: Qi Ruichen , Wang Xueyun , Wang Qiubao
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the optimal water levels in the Great Lakes to meet the needs of multiple stakeholders and thus achieve sustainable development in the region. The Weight-Function-Synthesis-Optimization (WFSO) model was used in this study. By classifying the water level needs of different interest groups, their respective satisfaction functions are established, and the overall satisfaction function is formed by weighting. In addition, the quadratic polynomial function is used to fit the optimal monthly water level time series of Lake Ontario, and the fitting effect is good, fully reflecting the periodic and seasonal changes in the water level of Lake Ontario. By considering the priorities of various stakeholders, this paper defines an overall satisfaction metric, "allsa," and identifies a time series of monthly optimal water levels for Lake Ontario and beyond. The ideal water level was determined to be 74.9 meters. The study results suggest that maintaining this water level can maximize the satisfaction of ecosystems, transportation, real estate, terminals, and hydropower companies, and promote sustainable development of the region.

Background:

MP-AzeFlu (Dymista; Meda Pharma GmbH & Co., KG), a formulation combining azelastine hydrochloride and fluticasone propionate in a single spray, is superior to fluticasone propionate alone in relieving symptoms and improving the quality of life of patients with allergic rhinitis.

Objectives:

In this study, we evaluated whether the effect of AzeFlu, a generic drug manufactured from China, is equivalent to that of MP-AzeFlu.

Methods:

In total, 679 patients were recruited for a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, original drug-controlled, and parallel-group clinical trial. Overall, 339 and 340 patients were administered with AzeFlu and MP-AzeFlu, respectively. Efficacy was assessed by changes in the reflective total nasal symptom score, the area under the curve of reflective total nasal symptom score changes over time, changes from baseline in individual nasal symptom scores, and the Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire. In addition, a safety evaluation was simultaneously performed.

Results:

AzeFlu and MP-AzeFlu reduced the reflective total nasal symptom score from baseline (AzeFlu −6.7 [standard deviation, 2.59]; MP-AzeFlu −6.7 [standard deviation, 2.76]; P = 0.905) and improved nasal symptoms and quality of life (AzeFlu −62.3 [standard deviation, 33.59]; MP-AzeFlu −64.7 [standard deviation, 33.73]; P = 0.394) in patients with allergic rhinitis. Significant differences were not observed between groups.

Conclusion:

AzeFlu showed effects equivalent to those of MP-AzeFlu in this clinical trial and may benefit Chinese patients with allergic rhinitis.

Стратегия ранней реканализации окклюзированного сосуда и восстановления кровотока в инсульт-зависимой артерии является патогенетически обоснованной и наиболее эффективной. Тромболитическая терапия и тромбоэкстракция обеспечивают достижение реканализации окклюзированного сосуда, однако они не устраняют атеросклеротическую бляшку, вызывающую критический стеноз или окклюзию сосуда. Выполнение стентирования сонной артерии в месте расположения атеросклеротической бляшки обеспечивает полное устранение этиологического фактора ишемического инсульта

Hostile machine learning has network security issues that reduce prediction model accuracy. A full defence against these assaults entails establishing hostile scenarios, strengthening models via strategy training, and applying powerful defences. Small adjustments introduce antagonistic inputs into the research. These teach the model to recognize and withstand deception attempts. The proposed solution competed with Trust Shield, Secure Guard, Defend, and Adversary Block in rigorous performance testing. The recommended strategy has a 95.0% success rate for discovering assaults and a much lower 5.0% false positive rate. This is much superior to conventional approaches. Due to its modest accuracy loss and rapid response, it's effective at fighting assaults. This comprehensive overview demonstrates the wide-scale application of the strategy with minimal resources. Finally, this research emphasizes the need for robust and adaptable AI security. This will assist in creating secure and trustworthy AI solutions to protect sensitive data and ensure prediction model accuracy in an increasingly hostile future.

As online education has become increasingly prominent, the primary objective of this study is to evaluate students' opinions of online classes taught by teachers with no prior experience in online teaching, focusing on their teaching style, teaching efficiency, and pedagogy in the online classroom. Online teaching is a kind of teaching system that depends on network management technology. It concludes the teaching method by the process of live courses or recorded courses employing software containing special online teaching environments and any APP software employed for teaching. Social media, with its massive pool of user-generated content and instant feedback, offers a great opportunity to calculate teaching styles in online class management. Therefore, this study offers a Social Media Based Evaluation of Teaching Style in Online Education Systems using Heuristic Search (SMBETS-OESHS) Algorithm. The main objective of the SMBETS-OESHS technique for evaluate teaching styles in online education systems using insights derived from social media platforms. At primary stage, the SMBETS-OESHS model takes place linear scaling normalization (LSN) is implemented for scaling the input data. Next, the bayesian optimization algorithm (BOA) based feature selection process can be employed to allow for the detection of the most relevant features from the data. In addition, the SMBETS-OESHS model exploits stacked sparse autoencoder (SSAE) technique for classification process. In order to achieve optimal performance, the SSAE model parameters are fine-tuned using the improved beetle optimization algorithm (IBOA), ensuring robust evaluation accuracy. The experimental validation outcome of the SMBETS-OESHS algorithm undergoes and the performances are examined over various measures. The simulation outcome stated that the enhanced solution of the SMBETS-OESHS system over the recent techniques.

This study investigates the significant impact of AI-enabled HR analytics on employee and sustainable performance, highlighting the mediating role of job crafting and the moderating effects of perceived risk and employee engagement in manufacturing organisations in Bandung, Indonesia. Drawing on cross-sectional data from 349 employees in manufacturing firms in Bandung, Indonesia, this study provides empirical evidence of the positive influence of AI-enabled HR analytics on long-term employee performance. The research utilises JD-R theory to validate the mediating role of job crafting in this relationship. Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis, conducted using SMART PLS 3.0 software, was applied to test the model. The results demonstrate that AI-enabled HR analytics significantly impacts job crafting. Additionally, job crafting mediates the relationship between AI-enabled HR analytics and both sustainable performance and employee performance. Perceived risk moderates the relationship between job crafting and both performance outcomes. Similarly, employee engagement moderates the relationship between job crafting and both sustainable and employee performance. This study is among the first to empirically examine the use of AI-enabled HR analytics in the context of job crafting and its effects on sustainable and employee performance. It provides valuable insights for managers and business leaders seeking to leverage AI to enhance employee sustainability and performance in diverse organizational settings.
An Examination of the Effects of 2M Channel Airing Turkish Soap Operas on Moroccan Audiences: 2009-2019
Authors: Oukhouya Ali Mbarek
Published: October 2024

This paper attempts to shed light on the media effects of the 2M channel on Moroccan audiences viewing dubbed Turkish soap operas (TSO). In particular, the study limits its scope to 2009-2019 period of broadcasting. It is noted that the viewing process is a prerequisite for social change and media effects. This consideration of direct exposure hastens the effects and influences in the audiences’ lives. Not all media effects of TSO are detrimental to the Moroccan audience and government. No sooner had the audience finished a dubbed Turkish serial than the 2M started broadcasting a new one. Additionally, to examine this decade, the paper invests structured interviews and mail surveys to collect data. The study treats the research findings with content analysis and discourse analysis. Presumably, it is noticeable that females are the majority of viewers. Accordingly, the research findings are manifold. The study’s research findings seriously alert the media analysts and Moroccan cultural authorities concerned with Moroccan audiences susceptible to the TSO increasing dangers and insidious menaces. These foreign influences are disseminated through the ignorance, recipient, and Moroccan female lifestyles. Therefore, the result discussion necessitates an awakening paradigm shift in Moroccan cultural policy. In conclusion, the paper calls for an invigorating Moroccan public screen. Moroccan soap opera alternative likely replaces Turkish soap opera since Moroccan audience counts in millions alongside religious diplomacy as a form of soft power.

Published: October 2024

Denna rapport presenterar resultat från den svenska delen av den internationella undersökningen Sprat Acoustic Survey (SPRAS-Swe) i Östersjön 2023. Den internationella undersökningen har pågått sedan 2001, men Sveriges deltagande började först 2020 i och med leveransen av Sveriges nya forskningsfartyg R/V Svea. Undersökningens syfte är att samla in fiskerioberoende data för beräkning av mängden skarpsill under våren i Östersjön. Det sammanställda resultatet utgör grunden för arbetet med beståndskattning av skarpsill inom ICES arbetsgrupp WGBFAS. I en pilotstudie har vi därtill undersökt möjligheten att utnyttja SPRAS-Swe som en ekosystemexpedition vilket inneburit att utöver den datainsamling som krävs för arbetet med beståndsskattning av skarpsill (WGBFAS) även registrera andra typer av insamlade data för att öka kunskapen kring ekosystemet Östersjön. Ytterligare en målsättning har varit att utveckla insamlings- och analysmetoder för att på sikt minska dödligheten av fisk i samband med vetenskapliga undersökningar.
