Authors: Truong Hong Diem , Gonedes Andrew , Haidar Jason , Wilson Kevin , Remaly Michael , Boccio Eric
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Hydroxyapatite deposition disease (HADD) is caused by the presence of hydroxyapatite crystals in periarticular spaces oftentimes leading to inflammation, pain, and decreased range of motion. Case Report: A 40-year-old right hand dominant female presented with three days of atraumatic right shoulder pain. Radiographs of the right shoulder were negative. Computed tomographyrevealed a hydroxyapatite deposit adjacent to the acromioclavicular joint. The patient was managed with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and a referral to orthopedic surgery. Conclusion: Many instances of HADD will not be diagnosed on plain radiographs, and heightened awareness will provide confidence when ordering confirmatory imaging. Management is typically conservative, however, referral to orthopedic surgery is recommended to ensure improvement and to assess the need for more invasive procedures.

Published: January 2025

The rapid expansion of mobile networks has revolutionized global communication, enabling seamless connectivity for a growing user base. As networks evolve, efficient handover processes—where mobile devices transition between network cells or base stations—are critical to maintaining uninterrupted service. Poorly optimized handovers can result in increased latency, degraded Quality of Service (QoS), and diminished user experience, especially in advanced networks like 5G that demand low latency and high reliability. This study examines the impact of handover processes on key performance metrics such as latency, QoS, and user satisfaction, analyzing their behavior across urban, rural, and heterogeneous technological environments. In densely populated urban areas, frequent handovers risk creating performance bottlenecks, while rural areas face challenges related to sparse infrastructure. Heterogeneous environments, where legacy and next-generation technologies coexist, further complicate efficient transitions. By identifying these challenges, the study proposes strategies to optimize handover efficiency, ensuring seamless connectivity, enhanced QoS, and reduced latency in advanced networks. These findings contribute to improving mobile communication systems, addressing the dynamic demands of 5G and beyond in diverse operational scenarios.

Authors: Widyaningsih Erna , Mujahid Kasori
Published: January 2025

The transformation of the Islamic worldview in Islamic thought in the Western world reflects the dynamic interaction between Islamic traditions and the context of modernity and secularization. This study aims to analyze how the Islamic worldview undergoes transformation within the thoughts of Muslim intellectuals in the Western world. Using a qualitative approach based on literature review, this research identifies a paradigm shift from traditional understanding toward the integration of Islamic values into modern discourse. The findings reveal that this transformation involves not only value adaptation but also the recontextualization of Islamic principles to address philosophical, social, and epistemological challenges in the Western world. This transformation opens opportunities for a more harmonious synthesis between Islamic values and the Western context without losing its identity.

Introduction
Fibroadenoma is the most common benign breast lesion; however, it carries a potential risk of malignant transformation. This systematic review provides an overview of the presentation, management, and outcome of carcinomas arising within fibroadenomas.
Methods
A systematic search on Google Scholar was conducted for English-language studies on breast carcinoma within fibroadenomas. Studies on fibroadenomas with no malignant components, review articles, pre-prints, incomplete data, and those published in suspicious journals were excluded.
Results
On ultrasonography, 28 masses (36.8%) appeared benign, and 20 (26.3%) were suspicious, with ultrasonographic data unavailable for the remaining tumors (36.8%). Mammography data were available for 50 tumors, revealing 27 benign lesions (54%) and 23 suspicious lesions (46%). Among the 17 lesions with available magnetic resonance imaging data, five were benign lesions (29.4%), and 12 were suspicious (70.6%). Cytology evaluation among 46 tumors revealed that 20 (43.5%) were benign, 24 (52.2%) were malignant, and two (4.3%) were suspicious. The most commonly performed surgery was wide local excision (50.7%), followed by mastectomy (32.9%). On histopathology, 11 tumors exhibited more than one pathology. Ductal carcinoma in situ was the most frequent finding (40.8%), followed by invasive ductal carcinoma (28.9%) and lobular carcinoma in situ (28.4%). Recurrence was observed in one case (1.4%), and metastasis occurred in two cases (2.8%).
Conclusion
Although rare, carcinomas arising within fibroadenomas may present considerable challenges in preoperative diagnosis, whether through imaging or cytology. Therefore, clinicians may find it necessary to approach fibroadenomas with increased caution.

Introduction
Cancer patients face a venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk that is up to 50 times higher compared to individuals without cancer. In 2010, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) such as apixaban, rivaroxaban, and edoxaban were introduced, consequently becoming the controversial oral anticoagulants for VTE therapy. This study is a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) evaluating the use of edoxaban for treating VTE in cancer patients over different treatment durations.
Methods
Using Google Scholar, a systematic search for RCTs on edoxaban for cancer-associated VTE was performed. The data extracted covered patient numbers, age, gender, BMI, cancer type, edoxaban dosage, treatment duration, comorbidities, major bleeding, recurrent VTE incidence, and deaths. Statistical significance was set at 0.05.
Results
Out of 52 studies, nine with 3,190 cases met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 66.68 years, with 1,604 females (50.28%). Major bleeding occurred in 192 patients (7.66%) in the 6- or 12-month group and 57 (8.35%) in the 3-month group (p=0.573). Recurrent VTE was observed in 145 patients (5.78%) in the 6- or 12-month group and 95 (13.91%) in the 3-month group (p<0.001). Deaths from any cause totaled 548 (21.86%) in the 6- or 12-month group and 165 (24.16%) in the 3-month group (p=0.110).
Conclusion
Cancer patients receiving edoxaban for six or 12 months experience a lower recurrence rate of VTE compared to those on a 3-month treatment. The incidence of major bleeding appears to be similar between the two treatment durations.

Authors: Hidayat Luqman Sariful , Ekowanti Mas Roro Lilik , Casmiwati Dewi
Published: January 2025

This study aims to evaluate the impact of Government Regulation Number 31 of 2021 concerning the Administration of the Shipping Sector in supporting the Nusantara Capital City, using Balikpapan Port as a case study. The research employs a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, encompassing four stages: data collection, data condensation, data analysis, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that while the program has not been fully implemented, improvements in port administration, capabilities, roles, and maritime environmental protection have been achieved. Over the past five years (2018–2022), vessel visits increased by an average of 24.3% annually (units) and 21.8% (gross tonnage). Foreign cargo services rose by 12.15% annually for exports and 16.41% for imports, contributing to an average economic growth of 1.71% per year in Balikpapan City (2019–2023). Additionally, maritime environmental protection has led to the development of new tourist destinations. However, challenges such as ship thefts and limited fishing grounds for local fishermen persist. In the future, the Nusantara Capital City may face waterway congestion, potentially disrupting traffic and increasing the risk of maritime accidents.

Authors: Rada Rispira Fani , Koeswara Hendri , Kabullah Muhammad Ichsan
Published: January 2025

Accountability in the financial management of Village Funds is crucial. This research is motivated by the financial management of village funds by the Kuteni Reje village government, which has achieved achievements in managing village funds. However, there are still shortcomings in implementing accountability in the financial management of Village Funds. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a more in-depth study to find an accountability model for Village Fund management to maximize the performance of the Kuteni Reje village government as a public service provider. This research uses Mardiasmo's accountability theory, which consists of 4 (four) variables: legal accountability and honesty, process accountability, program accountability, and policy accountability. The research was conducted using qualitative methods. Data collection techniques were carried out using interviews and documentation. The selection of informants was carried out using a purposive sampling technique. The results of this research show that in terms of formal accountability, the management of Village Funds by the Kuteni Reje Village Government has been carried out accountably. However, there are still shortcomings in village financial management, namely delays in the process of preparing the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBK) and lack of transparent information regarding the Village Revenue and Expenditure Budget (APBK) to the community, especially the use of Village Funds, and the unavailability of compliant services for the community to convey any deviations in the management of Village Funds that occur. So, we need a model and pattern of accountability that focuses more on social accountability to complement the dark side of formal accountability so that the performance of the Village government in financial management becomes better.

Published: January 2025

The increase in investment in the tertiary sector, such as tourism, trade, and services, has become one of the strategic priorities of Garut Regency in driving regional economic growth. However, regulatory barriers, lack of legal certainty, and infrastructure challenges often pose major obstacles for investors. This study aims to analyze the existing regulatory framework, identify challenges in policy implementation, and offer recommendations for optimizing policies to attract more investment in the tertiary sector. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 informants, including officials from the Investment and Integrated Licensing Service Office (DPMPT), local business actors, prospective investors, and academics. Data analysis was conducted using triangulation methods, which included policy document analysis, investment statistics, and insights from interviews. The results of the study show that despite Garut Regency's great potential in the tertiary sector, such as natural tourism and trade, investment policy implementation is still suboptimal. Major inhibiting factors include the complexity of licensing procedures, lack of synchronization between regional and national policies, and insufficient structured investment promotion. The study recommends streamlining regulations, digitalizing the licensing system, and strengthening coordination between local governments and stakeholders. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of optimizing an adaptive regulatory framework that aligns with investor needs. With more flexible and conducive policies, Garut Regency has the potential to become a leading destination for tertiary sector investment in Indonesia.

Published: January 2025

The arrangement of the Paya Ilang Traditional Market in Central Aceh Regency aims to organize trading activities within the designated market building. However, this initiative faces challenges as vendors are reluctant to use the provided facilities, leaving the market building vacant and poorly maintained. This study seeks to evaluate the role of local government in the development and enhancement of traditional markets and to identify factors influencing the success of market regulation. A qualitative approach was employed, incorporating in-depth interviews, field observations, and analysis of relevant documents. The findings reveal several critical issues, including ineffective communication between the government and vendors, unsuitable market building conditions (such as inadequate lighting and ventilation), and a lack of strict enforcement of regulations. Additionally, limited access roads and insufficient parking space exacerbate the problems. The study concludes that renovating the market building with active involvement from vendors is crucial to achieving mutual understanding. The government must improve communication, provide clear guidance, and enforce regulations rigorously to raise vendor awareness of the importance of cleanliness, comfort, and public order. Market revitalization is anticipated to address these challenges while enhancing the market’s appeal as a modern and orderly trading hub.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze public perception of the dissemination of information on Regional Regulations (Perda) passed by the Soppeng Regency DPRD together with the local government. Regional regulations are legal instruments that regulate various aspects of social and economic life in the regions, but their success is highly dependent on community understanding and participation. A quantitative descriptive method was used in this study, involving 100 respondents in Soppeng Regency. Respondents are selected purposively based on the criteria of having knowledge or experience related to the Regional Regulation.  The results of the study show that 97% of the public understands the functions and duties of the DPRD, but only 43% feel that they receive information about the Regional Regulation clearly and comprehensively. Social media is the main source of information, while direct socialization by DPRD members is not optimal. The majority of people (96%) consider that the Regional Regulation is made for the benefit of the people, even though they state the need to increase the intensity of socialization. Community participation in socialization activities is still low, with 46% rarely participating in these activities. This study also found that age, education, and employment factors affect people's perception of the Regional Regulation. Respondents with higher education levels tend to have a better understanding. These findings highlight the need for intensification of socialization by the DPRD through a more inclusive strategy and the use of digital media to increase public understanding and their participation in the implementation of the Regional Regulation. Conclusion This study provides strategic recommendations to increase public involvement in the legislative process and the dissemination of legal information.  Keywords: Community Perception, Information Distribution, Regional Regulation, Soppeng Regency, Community Participation.

Published: January 2025

Public service is one of the efforts made by the government to provide services to the community. In Surabaya, one of the most important public services is the population administration service, which is managed by the city's Population and Civil Registration Office. To access this service, Surabaya residents have the option to take care of their population administration at the local urban village office or RW hall. Thus, the Surabaya City Government seeks to bring services closer to the community and improve the ease of access to administrative services. This research aims to describe and analyze how the implementation of bureaucratic reform on service performance in Medokan Ayu urban village. The research method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Data collected by observation, interview and documentation methods. This research uses the theoretical reference put forward by Agus Dwijayanto (2006) in Ismoyo (2017), which identifies five main indicators to measure the performance of the public bureaucracy. These indicators include: (1) Productivity, (2) Service Quality, (3) Responsiveness, (4) Responsiveness (5) Accountability. The results show that population administration services in Kelurahan Medokan Ayu face significant challenges, especially related to the limitations of competent human resources and the lack of socialization of administrative programs. However, with reforms through the application of digital technology, such as barcode systems and e-Kios, service productivity has increased substantially despite the limited number of employees. The quality of service has also been improved by providing additional services such as outreach for underprivileged residents and making it easier for them to access the services they need.
Sociological Analysis of Women's Involvement in Criminal Acts in Tanjungpinang: The Influence of Economy, Family, and Social Environment
Authors: Suherry Suherry , Mandala Edward , Usman Nurbaiti , Prastiyo Endri Bagus
Published: January 2025

This study aims to identify and analyze the factors that cause women to come into conflict with the law in the Tanjungpinang area, focusing on women as perpetrators of criminal acts. The research method utilized involved in-depth interviews with informants who have direct experience related to this issue. The findings indicate that economic factors, social environment, and family conditions are the main drivers of women's involvement in criminal activities. Urgent financial needs often force women to seek quick solutions through illegal avenues, such as fraud and theft. The social environment that permits and normalizes deviant behavior influences individuals' mindsets and actions, thus increasingly driving women to engage in illegal activities. Furthermore, the dynamics within the family, including internal conflicts and lack of emotional support, also contribute to women's decisions to confront the law. In addition to external factors, the psychological and emotional conditions of women, such as poor mental health due to stigma and discrimination, are significant factors that exacerbate their situations. This study emphasizes the importance of social support, appropriate rehabilitation, and educational programs for women involved in criminal behavior. Therefore, this research aims to provide valuable insights for policymakers and the community to develop more effective and inclusive prevention strategies for women in Tanjungpinang.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of disaster-resilient tourism development policies carried out by the Padang City Government. The research was conducted in 11 districts in Padang City, with informants being stakeholders who play a key role in the implementation of this policy, such as the Mayor of Padang, the Regional Secretary of Padang City, the Padang City Council, the Padang City Tourism Office, the Padang City BPBD, members of the Balawisata Padang, members of Pokdarwis Padang, the Board of the Disaster Risk Reduction Forum (FPRB) Padang, members of the Disaster Alert Group (KSB), as well as Non-Governmental Organizations involved in the implementation of this policy, such as the Tsunami Alert Community (Kogami) Padang, and the Disaster Alert Cadets (Tagana) Padang, Districts and Villages under the policy’s supervision, as well as the communities in the target areas of this policy.The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with informant selection using purposive sampling techniques, combining data from observations, interviews, and documentation, and interpreting both etic and emic data in an integrated manner. The results of this study conclude that overall, the implementation of the disaster-resilient tourism development policy by the Padang City Government has been carried out but is not yet effective. This is due to several factors, such as the lack of regulations and derivative documents that can serve as guidelines, which has caused stakeholders and the community to be hesitant and passive in implementing the policy. Furthermore, in terms of integration, the lack of communication and coordination between policy implementers at the city level and stakeholders at the district and village levels has resulted in a relationship pattern that does not align with what was initially planned. Regarding the adaptation instrument, the limited facilities and infrastructure owned by the village and district offices have caused the policy implementation to stagnate in these areas.

Effective data management is essential for policymakers, particularly in Torongrejo Village, where data collected from citizens is processed to assess village potential and inform decision-making. Currently, the data management practices in Torongrejo Village remain primarily manual and have not fully embraced available data processing technologies. An initial survey revealed that many village operators require guidance in utilizing these technologies for efficient data management. This service activity aims to address this gap by providing training and support to empower the village apparatus in managing technology-based data, ultimately striving towards a self-sufficient data management system. Implementing this initiative involves several stages: identifying initial problems, socializing the activity, planning, executing the training, and monitoring the outcomes. The training's effectiveness was evaluated through questionnaires assessing participants' understanding of technology-based data management. The results indicate a significant improvement in the village apparatus's comprehension of data management techniques before and after the training, highlighting the importance of technological integration in enhancing local governance.

Authors: Njegovan Milica , Prelević Plavšić Snežana
Published: January 2025

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly advancing, developing, and finding applications in various aspects of life and work. Some of the most significant social areas, such as law and dispute resolution, have not remained immune to the influence of AI. In this sense, both the positive aspects, useful elements, as well as the potential dangers and risks that this technology brings, are being increasingly considered. Arbitration, as a contractual and voluntary method of dispute resolution, presents fertile ground for the application of various technological solutions to accelerate and ease the process. Investment arbitration, which deals with resolving disputes between a host state and a foreign investor, has its specificities that need to be addressed in the context of AI application. Therefore, this paper provides a review of the benefits of AI in arbitration, analyzes its shortcomings and risks, offers an overview of certain smart tools available, and presents a general view on the ethical and legal regulation of AI application in arbitration. The conclusion of the paper is that the possibilites for further development and refinement of AI technology for use in arbitration are numerous, but should be approached cautiously. It will be necessary to devise an optimal, flexible regulation to standardize the rudimentary rules of AI application in order to meet the basic requirement: benefit for humanity and society, while respecting the specific values and principles on which investment arbitration is based.

SCIENCE, ETHICS AND NEW EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

Published: January 2025

In this paper, we will examine the relationship between science, ethics, and emerging technologies, with a particular focus on nanoscience and nanotechnology. Our goal is to demonstrate that all sciences, including these most recent ones, originate from philosophy, which has always strived to maintain an integral, holistic approach to reality. In contrast to philosophy, individual sciences gradually lose interest in philosophical views of a higher level of generality and a holistic approach to reality. As a result, sciences often neglect ethics and value judgments that assess the consequences of their activities and outcomes. Nanotechnology, along with other convergent technologies such as biotechnology, information technology, artificial intelligence, and neurotechnology, differs from other technologies in its ability to operate at the atomic and molecular levels. This enables its impact on the natural environment and the human organism to often remain beyond public awareness. Such a situation raises legitimate concerns and calls for addressing the issue of responsibility for the development of these technologies. Strict and organized action by the broadest possible public is needed to ensure the responsible development and application of nanotechnology. In this paper, we will consider potential coalitions for overseeing these technologies, as well as some key questions that must be answered before these technologies "slip" beyond our control. In this context, special attention will be given to promoting a multidisciplinary approach and involving various stakeholders from the fields of science, philosophy, ethics, and representatives of civil society in the decision-making processes related to the development and regulation of nanotechnology.
