Meta-Analysis of Corticosteroids in the Management of Sepsis: Evaluating Efficacy and Safety
Authors: Harvindra Astrid , Armen Ahmad
Published: August 2024

Background: Sepsis remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Corticosteroids have been used in sepsis management, but their efficacy and safety remain debated. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of corticosteroids in sepsis management.
Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from 2018 to 2024 evaluating corticosteroid use in sepsis. The primary outcome was mortality. Secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, and adverse events. Data were pooled using a random-effects model, and heterogeneity was assessed using the I² statistic.
Results: Twenty-one RCTs (n=12,350 patients) were included. Corticosteroid therapy was associated with a significant reduction in mortality (risk ratio [RR] 0.87, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79-0.96, p=0.004). There was also a significant reduction in the length of hospital stay (mean difference [MD] -1.5 days, 95% CI -2.3 to -0.7, p<0.001) and duration of mechanical ventilation (MD -1.2 days, 95% CI -1.9 to -0.5, p<0.001). No significant increase in adverse events was observed.
Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that corticosteroid therapy is associated with a significant reduction in mortality, length of hospital stay, and duration of mechanical ventilation in patients with sepsis. The benefits appear to outweigh the risks. Corticosteroids should be considered as part of the standard of care in sepsis management.

To implement an effective regional policy in the development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, a comprehensive assessment of ongoing processes in the economic and social spheres is necessary, which determines the relevance of the topic of this article. The aim of the study is to study the processes of spatial compression of the municipal districts of the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2016–2020. The authors present a review of foreign and Russian studies on the process of spatial compression due to economic and demographic reasons. It is noted that despite the increase in the number of publications on this topic, the research topic remains poorly studied. The work provides an assessment of the degree of spatial compression of the municipal districts of the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2016–2020 based on the analysis of socio-economic processes, generalization and systematization of facts. The indicators characterizing the processes of spatial compression of territories are analyzed. The study specifies municipal districts, in which the average annual rate of reduction of the resident population is more than two percent per year in the study period, which makes it possible to classify these municipalities as shrinking ones. Further interregional research is needed on this topic in order to develop new approaches and practical tools for managing shrinking territories.

The Effect of Transfer Pricing and Profitability on Tax Avoidance Empirical Study in Industrial Sector Companies
Authors: Adiguna Septian , Ritonga Ferdiansyah
Published: August 2024

This study aims to evaluate the influence of transfer pricing and profitability on tax avoidance in industrial sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019-2023. The analytical methods employed include descriptive statistical analysis, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, t-tests, and the determination coefficient test using SPSS software with a 5% significance level. The sample used in this study consists of 139 observations. The results indicate that transfer pricing has a significant effect on tax avoidance, while profitability does not have a significant impact on tax avoidance. These findings suggest that companies tend to use transfer pricing strategies to minimize tax burdens and increase after-tax profits. Conversely, changes in profitability levels cannot be considered a reliable indicator to predict changes in corporate tax avoidance behavior. Thus, this study highlights the importance of transfer pricing as a key factor in corporate tax avoidance strategies, while profitability does not show a significant relationship with tax avoidance. These findings contribute to the literature on tax avoidance and can serve as a reference for policymakers in understanding the dynamics of tax avoidance in the industrial sector.

PECULIARITIES OF THE SEMANTICS AND USAGE OF COMPOUND NEOLOGISMS IN THE SWEDISH LANGUAGE
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Zhiltsova Elena
Published: August 2024

The article analyses compounds which have appeared in the Swedish language in the last two decades. In terms of their semantics, they are divided into two types, i. e. those where both components of the compound preserve their original lexical meaning and those where the semantics of one or, more rarely, both components is changed. The occurrence of compounds of the first type is primarily due to extralinguistic factors. They denote new objects or events belonging to the most topical spheres of life in modern society, such as the Internet and information technology, the coronavirus pandemic, free time and entertainment. These words are often used in mass media because their main function is to inform. In compounds of the second type one of the components, as a rule, preserves its original lexical meaning, and the second loses it and obtains a different meaning via a metaphorical transfer. The semantics of the compound can be altered by either the first or second component. In some cases, the whole word is reinterpreted. Compounds of the second type possess a high degree of imagery and perform an emotive function in addition to the nominative one and are normally used in colloquial speech and blogs.

Published: August 2024

Cybercrime in Indonesia is influenced by complex factors such as technological advancement, anonymity, lack of security awareness, inequality of technological development, financial reasons, and low law enforcement capacity. The legal regulation of cybercrime is based on the current legal sources both in the Criminal Code and laws outside the Criminal Code. Some categories of cybercrime cases handled in the Electronic Information and Transaction Law include illegal contents, illegal access, illegal interception, data leakage and espionage, system interference, misuse of devices, and data interference. Cybercrime is a criminal offence that uses computers and the internet as a means. Legal reform in handling cybercrime must be carried out with a policy approach that contains value considerations. Criminal law reform in overcoming information technology crimes must be oriented towards a value approach. Cybercrime is a crime that uses computers or computer networks as the main tool. In Indonesia, there is no specific legal definition for cybercrime. Cybercrime can be in the form of unauthorised access, illegal contents, data leakage, trojan horses, and others.

Published: August 2024

The objective of this paper is to discuss the information and communication technology (ICT) implementation, an initiative of teaching and learning for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) lecturers and students during the COVID-19 pandemic era due to the lack of physical and practical learning activities such as handling tools, safety measure, execute machine in an emergency, conduct the material as per manual stated, last but not least functional and operational check and assessment conduct. This study employed a qualitative approach (i.e., document analysis). Data was collected from secondary sources by reviewing TVET reports, webpage, organizational structures, and news bulletins, which are observed and analyzed. The results indicated that most TVET institutions were struggling to deliver and assess practical skills training. Instead of focusing on the practical assessment method, most TVET institutions are remoting to theoretical coursework, and re-structuring the program with outcome-based education as one of the alternative solutions. The results also revealed the different approaches used by TVET institutions by relating them to several case studies. By understanding their aims and intentions, the COVID-19 pandemic indirectly contributes to the development of ICT in TVET, and therefore the technologies of teaching and learning are not left behind.

Authors: Sivakumar Renukka , Azemi Saidatul Norlyana , Lee Yeng Seng , Kok Yeow You , Ping Jack Soh
Published: August 2024

Over the last two decades, mm-wave and terahertz (THz) technologies have advanced significantly, owing to their appealing properties in a variety of applications such as automotive paint materials, metamaterial structures, radio astronomy, the military, and medicine. Researchers have investigated various metamaterial structures to determine their permeability. The free-space measurement technique is widely used to determine the electrical properties of materials. The free-space measurement approach has gained popularity because it allows for more efficient measurements at higher millimetre-wave and terahertz frequencies. This is primarily due to its ease of use, non-destructive features, and ability to perform reflection and transmission measurements without interacting physically with the sample. The goal of this research is to create a free space material measurement system that can accurately determine permeability and permittivity. A software based on a modified NRW algorithm was developed to determine the permeability and permittivity of materials with high accuracy. High gain K-band and Ka-band horn antennas from 18 GHz to 39 GHz were designed using 3D printing technology to eliminate the need for the commercial measurement systems. To reduce measurement inaccuracies, a 3-D printed dielectric lens was designed and fabricated using 3-D printing technology, with the beam focus of the antenna optimized. 3-D printed horn antennas performed similarly to commercial horn antennas in terms of S11, gain, and 3-dB beamwidth. Furthermore, the permeability and permittivity of MUTs were determined with high accuracy using the software for the commercial horn antennas and 3-D printed horn antennas.

In Malaysia, the electric vehicle (EV) market is experiencing significant growth, necessitating the installation of charging stations (CSs) along routes to alleviate range anxiety among EV users. Integrating EVs with renewable energy sources (RESs), such as solar energy, is imperative to support the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Given the limited availability of photovoltaic electric vehicle charging stations (PEVCS) in Malaysia, their installation becomes imperative, requiring careful consideration of several key criteria for ideal allocation. This paper presents a comprehensive study focused on establishing criteria for strategically siting PEVCS in Malaysia. The objective of the study is to finalize the criteria for determining the ideal PEVCS placement, taking into consideration the unique geographical and infrastructural context of Malaysia. The methodology involved an extensive literature review, a rigorous needs analysis, and the validation of the selection criteria through expert feedback. In the initial phase, comprising 41 sub-criteria and six main criteria, the study meticulously narrowed down the selection to 12 sub-criteria and retained the six main criteria. This selection is made based on the valuable insights provided by experts, ensuring a refined and relevant set of criteria for the subsequent phases of validation and instrument development. The discussion section of the article details the rationale behind the chosen criteria and their alignment with the overarching goal of efficient PEVCS deployment. The findings of this study contribute to the ongoing efforts in sustainable urban planning and transportation infrastructure development, specifically in the domain of PEVCS in Malaysia. The paper concludes by recommending the application of the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) to determine the final criteria for the ideal placement of PEVCS in Malaysia. This method is proposed as a robust method to handle the uncertainties and complexities associated with the dynamic nature of the decision-making process in this context.

Electric vehicles (EVs) offer environmental and economic benefits, but face barriers to widespread adoption globally and in the ASEAN region. This paper analyses Malaysia’s EV adoption approach and progress compared to neighbouring countries to understand its positioning and potential policy improvements. The analysis examines government EV incentives, infrastructure development, market growth, and remaining challenges across multiple ASEAN nations. While Malaysia introduced early EV incentives, progress remains slower than regional leaders like Thailand and Indonesia with under 31,000 EVs on Malaysian roads versus over 84,000 in Thailand. High vehicle costs, lack of public charging stations, and low consumer awareness require urgent policy action. By learning from the successes and missteps of advanced ASEAN EV markets, Malaysia can enhance strategic support through improved incentives, infrastructure investments, awareness campaigns, and intergovernmental collaboration to accelerate sustainable electric mobility.

Published: August 2024

Quantum computing is quickly becoming a field that can change the game. It can completely change how businesses solve optimisation problems. We will be looking at three different quantum algorithms in great detail: the Quantum Approximate Optimisation Algorithm (QAOA), the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), and Grover's Algorithm. We look into how these algorithms work on the inside, how they compare to more traditional methods, and how they might be used in areas like energy, banking, and logistics. The piece then talks about current research projects that are trying to fix the technical issues and hardware limits of quantum technology. In the end, we look ahead to possible future developments that might help solve optimisation problems, such as better quantum gear and more complex quantum algorithms. By combining what has already been written with what is new, this study aims to shed light on how quantum computing could help solve tough optimisation problems and spark new ideas.
An Overview of Effectiveness of Balanced Scorecard Performance Management System in Tanzania
Authors: Beatus Duwe Adolar
Published: August 2024

This study investigated the effectiveness of Balanced Scorecard (BSC) on provision of quality services in selected public organizations in Tanzania. The objective was to investigate the effective of balanced Scorecard on quality services in selected public organizations. The study reveals that BSC tool is more effective compared to previously used tools. Also, the employee’s perception on effectiveness of BSC tool on provision of quality services is positive. The findings of ordinal logistic regression analysis show that the effectiveness of BSC tool increases the likelihood of employees to provide quality services. Further, extended regression namely structural equation modelling shows that the relationship between effectiveness of BSC tool and provision of quality services is distorted by high level of autocratic management style while not distorted by rules, policy and regulations. The study is strongly recommending that there is a need for government and private organisations to adopt BSC as an effective tool for provision of quality services; There is a need of introducing transformational and collaborative management styles in order to account for quality of services; Organizations should continuously enforce regulations, rules and policies; The study should be used by decision makers to set standards of introducing viable and vibrant performance management tools which are result oriented and further studies on uncovered areas on BSC to be undertaken in future.

Authors: Omolara Juba , Ochieng Jeffrey
Published: August 2024

This research aimed to identify the occupational health and safety issues in caregivers' workplaces: physical hazards, psychological demands, and organisational dimensions. This concerned broad physical dangers for workers, including musculoskeletal diseases, infection risks, toxic materials and substances, fatigue, and extended working hours. Additionally, the existing works explored the impact of psychological factors such as emotional exhaustion, compassion stress, burnout, stress, anxiety, and even secondary traumatisation on caregivers. Furthermore, it analysed the systematic issues related to workplace violence, lack of personnel, poor training and professional development, and having fewer protective gear and safety measures. The research has illustrated various interventions and practices that might enhance occupational safety and caregivers' wellbeing. These include organisational policies and procedures, such as establishing safe operating procedures, ensuring adequate protective gear is supplied to workers, and promoting a healthy company culture with efficient support networks. Risk prevention measures in this subdivision include safe patient handling procedures recognised as necessary in reducing physical risks, ergonomic workstation and equipment design, and stretching and exercise promotion. Moreover, the study revealed that while mental support and wellbeing were deemed essential for the workforce, which includes EAP, stress control, and mental toughness, seminars, as well as support groups, were considered insufficiently developed. The study finally demonstrated the importance of policy and legal advocacy based on enhancing occupational health and wellness standards, better workers' compensation and benefits, and raising public awareness.

Findings: The authors, the ‘Founding Fathers’ of the Constitution of the United States of America agreed that the Constitution should provide the legal basis i.e. the garantee of the separation and balance of powers. The principle of separation of powers implies the creation of three separate institutions of equal importance in the exercise of power. The checks and balances enshrined in the Constitution ensure balanced exercise of power. In addition to widespread presidential power, the preeminent role of the Supreme Court is according to ou view the most distinctive feature of the constitutional system of the United States of America.
Value: In Hungary, this study provides a complex introduction to the Constitution of the United States of America. This includes the sources of the Constitution, the original text of the Constitution and its Amendments.

Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the background and psychology of a problem that often occurs in the application of law and is therefore of outstanding theoretical and practical importance – the wrong verdict due to the false memory of witnesses – in order to avoid the biggest judicial failures (justizmord).
Methodology: The study was prepared by analysing international and Hungarian psychological theses and studies, describing relevant legal cases, and processing the international and domestic literature.
Findings: The complexity, fragility and influence of human memory must be kept in mind during the procedure of the participants of the justice system, as well as the interrogation techniques to promote adequate memory, so that false decisions cannot be made in the justice system.
Value: The credibility and accuracy of testimonies can be the key to finding out the material truth in the justice system, therefore the experiments described in the study and the techniques that support the testified testimony provide assistance to law enforcement.
Lángok a sötétben. Elhibázott népbírósági eljárások az 1943. április 29-i dorosicsi kórháztűz kapcsán
Authors: Veszprémy László Bernát
Published: August 2024

Aim: This paper deals with the infamous hospital fire of 29 April 1943, which took place in the occupied parts of the Soviet Union in the village of Dorosic. As is well known in the literature, a Hungarian camp hospital full of Jews in labour service recovering from typhus burned down. The hospital fire officially killed 396 labour servicemen. The literature has so far assumed that the hospital fire was caused by Hungarian soldiers guarding the Jews. The soldiers locked the doors of the building and then opened fire on those trying to escape. The aim of this study is to find out how the criminal trials after this event were conducted.
Methodology: In terms of methodology, it explores all the trials in the People’s Court concerning the Dorosic hospital fire, comparing the testimonies, indictments and verdicts in the different trials. In particular, the study focused on the trials of Miklós Réz and László Gyarmati at the Miskolc People’s Court, László Szentendrey at the same People’s Court, and Gusztáv Eckl and Dezső Szentkatolnay at the Budapest People’s Court. It notes that during the trials above, Réz and Gyarmati were convicted and executed, and that Szentkatolnay and Szentendrey were also convicted (the latter in absentia), partly on the same charges.
Findings: It points out the discrepancies between the indictments, convictions and confessions used.
Value: The study’s value lies in the fact that it analyses together data from previously unexplored and unmatched cases. Ultimately, the study raises serious questions about the historical truth that can be known and the extent to which war atrocities can be known.
A helyi közbiztonság megteremtésének részesei, a vagyonvédelmi alapítványok
Authors: András Hunor Lehel

Aim: In the study, the author presents the cooperation of the body established to perform general police tasks and the complementary law enforcement agencies in Tiszakécske district, detailing the operation of the property protection foundation operating in the area, through a possible good example.
Methodology: The review and analysis of the relevant international and domestic literature helped the author to process the topic. After the retrospective analysis, the information obtained through document analysis and interviews regarding the foundation will be presented.
Findings: Apart from the police, the municipality and the private security sector are key players in effective crime prevention activities and the creation of local public safety. Actors who rely on each other and complement each other’s activities can achieve more success together than individually.
Value: Within complementary policing, municipal policing is a neglected topic, but asset protection foundations also receive undeservedly little attention. A well-functioning asset protection foundation contributes greatly to local public safety.
A közigazgatás szervezési elvei a területi közigazgatás vizsgálatának szemszögéből
Authors: Hegyesi Zoltán
Published: August 2024

Aim: The study attempts to analyse the organisational principles (centralisation, decentralisation, hierarchy, integration, and professional public service) that fundamentally determine the structure and operation of public administration from the perspective of examining territorial public administration.
Methodology: During their research, the author conducted a literature review and analysis, and used the comparative method. Considering the topic, the study is basically descriptive and synthesising.
Findings: Different views on the organisational principles of public administration complement rather than exceed each other. The principles of organisation are not only theoretical theories, but the basis of the practice of public administration organisation, and at the same time they are also suitable for the general characterisation of the given public administration system.
Value: The contextual analysis of the implementation of the organisational principles described in the study is also relevant from the point of view of the investigation of territorial public administration, for which this work can provide a starting point.
