Authors: Uzun Bünyamin
Published: August 2024

Yurttaş gazeteciliği, insanların haber oluşum süreçlerine dahil olarak kamusal alanın genişlemesine katkı sunmasını amaçlar. Bu durum kamusal alanın daralması ve demokratik tartışma alanlarının yok olmaya başlamasıyla ortaya çıkmıştır. Ancak yurttaş gazeteciliğinin gelişimi ve kendini kabul ettirmesi teknolojik gelişmelerle olmuştur. Nitekim sosyal medya ağları ve bloglar yurttaş gazeteciliğinin gerçekleştirildiği alanlar olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Yurttaş gazeteciliğinin gelişimi ve yaygınlaşmasının ardından çeşitli alanlarda akademik çalışmalar da hızla artmıştır. Söz konusu çalışmaların hangi bağlamlarda yoğunlaştığı ve alanda hangi araştırmacılar ile dergilerin ön plana çıktığının saptanması önemlidir. Bu çalışmada yurttaş gazeteciliği konulu çalışmalardan yola çıkarak kavramın genel çerçevesi çizilmiştir. Başka bir deyişle yurttaş gazeteciliği literatürü istatistiksel olarak incelenmiş ve çalışmaların profili çıkarılmıştır. Bu bakımdan çalışmada Web of Science veri tabanında yer alan yurttaş gazeteciliği konulu 654 çalışma incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın önemli sonuçları arasında, yurttaş gazeteciliği ile ilgili çalışmaların 2015-2020 yılları arasında hızla arttığı yer almaktadır. Öte yandan çalışmalarda yurttaş gazeteciliği (n=338) ve sosyal medya (n=87) kavramlarının merkeze alındığı görülmüştür.

Published: August 2024

Background: Although there is a significant incidence of spinal metastases and hematolymphoid tumors, the treatment strategy (decompression or decompression+stabilization surgery) for patients with impending spinal instability (Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score [SINS] values of 7-12) has not been clearly defined.

Objective: To examine the rationale of decompression or decompression+stabilization surgery in patients with impending spinal instability (SINS values of 7-12) due to spinal metastases and hematolymphoid tumors and to assess treatment results within the specified range of SINS values.

Materials and methods: The study included 92 patients with spinal metastases and hematolymphoid tumors who underwent surgery between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2022 at the National Medical Research Center for Oncology (Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation). The main inclusion criterion was SINS values of 7-12. All patients underwent palliative surgical treatment: either decompression and stabilization or decompression alone.

Results: Stabilization of the spinal column was performed in 71 (77%) patients; in 21 (23%) patients, the affected segment was not fixed during surgery. Patients who underwent decompression had a higher rate of postoperative complications, with an increase in postoperative instability of the affected segment being the most significant. As for patients who underwent decompression + stabilization we found a moderate positive correlation between the lesion level and the number of fixed segments (r = 0.33, P< .05) and a weak negative correlation between the residual height of the vertebral body and the number of fixed segments (r = −0.26, P< .05).

Conclusions: Stabilization in patients with impending spinal instability (SINS =  7-12) due to tumors is a more justified treatment strategy than decompression alone
Role of Transluminal Balloon Valvuloplasty in Staged Surgical Treatment of Left Ventricular Dysfunction After Prior Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Replacement
Authors: Babeshko S. S. , Barbukhatty K. O. , Shumkov D. I. , Erastova A. V. , Porhanov V. A.
Published: August 2024

Introduction: The main disadvantage of bioprosthetic valves is the susceptibility of their leaflets to structural changes, leading to bioprosthetic valve dysfunction requiring a repeated surgical intervention. This group of patients is characterized by high comorbidity, which increases the risk of hospital mortality during repeated interventions. At the same time, low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the main independent predictor of adverse outcomes. Transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation can be an alternative to an open intervention in patients with high surgical risk. However, this technique is often associated with prosthesis-patient mismatch due to a smaller effective orifice area of a bioprosthetic valve, as well as with the high incidence of intraventricular conduction disorders and/or the need for a pacemaker, preventing the LVEF recovery even in the late period after the procedure.

Objective: To demonstrate the role of transluminal balloon valvuloplasty in staged surgical treatment of bioprosthetic aortic valve dysfunction. Case report: We present our experience of successful staged surgical treatment of biodegenerative dysfunction of a biological prosthetic aortic valve using balloon valvuloplasty followed by “open” repeated valve replacement in a patient at very high cardiovascular risk.

Conclusions: This staged approach may be justified in patients with extremely low LVEF to minimize risks and improve surgical outcomes.

Francja Macrona a reformy strefy euro
Authors: Tokarski Paweł
Published: August 2024

Przemówienie prezydenta Emmanuela Macrona na Sorbonie w 2017 roku zostało zinterpretowane jako nowa jakość w integracji europejskiej. Jednak w swoim kluczowym elemencie, jakim jest strefa euro, Francja Macrona jest raczej kontynuacją niż zmianą poprzedniej linii, na którą wpływają głównie: historyczne doświadczenia Francji w  zakresie integracji walutowej, instytucji państwowych i  gospodarczych, specyfiki i wyzwań własnej gospodarki. Wyzwania stojące przed francuską gospodarką i pogarszające się perspektywy gospodarcze będą ciążyły na stabilności strefy euro podczas drugiej kadencji Macrona. Brak większości w Zgromadzeniu Narodowym postawi pod znakiem zapytania możliwość kontynuacji kursu reform, ale także perspektywę wyboru proeuropejskiego następcy w 2027 roku.

The analysis of this issue in this article is based on the case of a group of public benefit organizations which are engaged in protecting heritage objects and spaces. As a result, the article identifies a group of factors which represent organizations’ impact in this area, giving attention to the perspective of target heritage objects and spaces, their surroundings and social and economic environment, public authorities and institutions, indirect beneficiaries, as well as considering the criterion of the time of impact (immediate, deferred and potential effects). The analysis is based on desk research, including a literature review, expert analyses, and with regard to empirical studies – reports prepared by public benefit organizations, the content of their websites and social media.
PENERAPAN METODE MULTIVARIATE CREDIBILITY BONUS MALUS PREMIUM PADA DATA ASURANSI KENDARAAN BERMOTOR DI INDONESIA
Authors: Sinta Asanah  , Aceng Komarudin Mutaqin
Published: August 2024

Abstrak: Pada penelitian ini akan dibahas mengenai perhitungan premi berdasarkan sistem bonus malus dengan metode multivariate credibility bonus malus premium menggunakan model trivariat yang membedakan besar klaim menjadi tiga jenis klaim yaitu besar klaim yang tinggi, besar klaim yang sedang, dan besar klaim yang rendah. Parameter model trivariat ditaksir menggunakan metode penaksiran kemungkinan maksimum. Distribusi untuk frekuensi klaim adalah distribusi binomial negatif dengan distribusi dasarnya yaitu distribusi Poisson. Sedangkan, penjumlahan kategori besar klaim untuk satu polis dimodelkan oleh distribusi binomial. Berdasarkan metode penaksiran kemungkinan maksimum, diperoleh nilai taksiran distribusi trivariat yaitu a=1,6095, b=4,3985, a1=1,4614, b1=4,5272, a2=1,4998, dan b2=1,4253. Nilai taksiran parameter tersebut digunakan untuk menghitung premi dan diperoleh nilai premi yaitu semakin banyak jumlah klaim yang diajukan seorang pemegang polis, maka akan semakin besar premi yang harus dibayarkan oleh pemegang polis tersebut. Selain itu, semakin meningkat kategori besar klaimnya, maka premi yang harus dibayar pemegang polis akan semakin besar.
Abstract: This study will discuss the premium calculation based on the bonus malus system using the multivariate credibility bonus malus premium method using the trivariate model which differentiates claim size into three types of claims, namely high claim size, moderate claim size, and low claim size. The parameters of the trivariate model were estimated using the maximum likelihood estimation method. The distribution for the frequency of claims is the negative binomial distribution with the basic distribution being the Poisson distribution. Meanwhile, the sum of major categories of claims for one policy is modeled by the binomial distribution. Based on the maximum likelihood estimation method, the estimated values of the trivariate distribution are a=1,6095, b=4,3985, a1=1,4614, b1=4,5272, a2=1,4998, and b2=1,4253. The estimated value of these parameters is used to calculate the premium and the premium value is obtained, namely the more the number of claims submitted by a policyholder, the greater the premium that must be paid by the policyholder. In addition, the greater the category of claims, the greater the premium to be paid by policyholders.

Authors: Agbo Emmanuel , Egbunike Chinedu
Published: August 2024

Purpose: Prior studies conducted to investigate the issues of CEO political connection and shareholding on financial distress remain inconclusive. It is based on the above, that this study is set out to examine the effect of CEO political connection and shareholding on the financial distress of DMBs.
Methodology/approach: This study adopted an ex post facto research design based on the nature and the problem of the research. The study utilized annual financial data from quoted DMBs from 2012 to 2021. The data were subjected to diagnostic tests and the Hausman test selected the use of REM over the FEM for testing the hypotheses.
Results/findings: The main results show that CEOP (?=0.275582; p=0.7029) had a positive non-significant effect on financial distress; CEOS (?=-0.201171; p=0.0039) had a negative significant effect on financial distress.
Limitations: The study does not include other control variables such as firm size and firm leverage which can also affect financial distress.
Contribution: This research contributes first, from the focus on developing country settings is important from a theoretical and empirical standpoint because the findings help us comprehend how political connection and shareholding status of CEOs determine the distress score of the DMBs in the absence of a supportive corporate and legal framework.
Novelty: This study from the context of a developing nation with weak institutional governance, examines how CEO political connection and shareholding explain the financial distress score of the DMBs which prior studies have weakly examined.
Constitutional Court Decree No 90/Puu-XII/2023 Provisions on Age Requirements for Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates in the Principles of the State of Law and Pancasila Democracy
Authors: Sifa Nurul Ash , Rapo Kasilda
Published: August 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/PUU-XII/2023 concerning the Age Requirements for Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates is in accordance with the principles of the rule of law and Pancasila democracy.
Method: This article was prepared using normative juridical research methods with statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. In this approach, several primary legal materials are used, namely statutory regulations that are relevant to the object of study, especially Constitutional Court Decision Number 90/Puu-XII/2023. In addition, the researcher used a case approach to understand the decidendi ratio, namely the legal reasons used by the judge to arrive at his decision, and a conceptual approach used by the researcher to understand the concept of the rule of law and the democratic principle of Pancasila, which refers to the doctrine that developed in the views of the Ulama or legal doctrine.
Results: The results of this research indicate that the procedures or mechanisms for implementing Constitutional Court Number 90/Puu-XII/2023 concerning Age Requirements for Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates must be in accordance with the procedures regulated in the constitution as a concept of a legal state (rehstsstat) where there is a division of power. From this concept it can be seen that the decision of the Constitutional Court Number 90/Puu-XII/2023 concerning the Age Requirements for Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates violates authority because the decision is an open legal policy entrusted by the drafters of the third amendment to the Constitution 1945 to the legislators to "... be further regulated by law based on Article 6 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: This research was conducted at Badan Pendapatan Daerah Kota Kupang, with the aim of determining the contribution of the effectiveness of regional taxes and the contribution of regional taxes in Kota kupang to the regional income of Kupang in 2015-2019.
Research Methodology: The approach used in this research is descriptive quantitative, with data analysis techniques carried out by comparing the realization of local tax revenue against the target of regional taxes at times 100% to determine the contribution of regional tax effectiveness. Furthermore, to calculate the contribution of local taxes to local revenue, we compare the realization of local taxes with the original regional income multiplied by 100%.
Results: The results show that the average contribution of regional tax effectiveness for five years shows the criteria of being effective and even very effective, except for the types of entertainment tax and parking tax, which provide less or even ineffective contributions. Meanwhile, the contribution of local taxes to local revenue shows very good criteria, but the contribution of local levies is less. Therefore, it is hoped that the regional government will be able to explore the tax potential, which is still ineffective, and improve the strategy for optimizing the overall regional original income.

Research Methodology:  This research focuses on the evaluation of Persian Gulf tourism's standing vis-à-vis regional rivals while identifying the tourism assets and competencies of Farsi Island and scrutinizing their Value, Rareness, Imitability, and Organization (VRIO) attributes. The meta-SWOT strategic planning methodology is a paramount tool in this context.
Results: The research unfolds in two phases: documentary and bibliographical scrutiny, and comprehensive surveys canvassing insights from ten tourism authorities judiciously chosen through purposive selection. The results shed light on the preeminent sway of macro-level factors, including national macro-management, governmental foreign policy, and international sanctions, as potent determinants of the tourism landscape of Farsi Island.
Limitations: This study required long-term secondary analysis of data from Persian Gulf countries. However, these data have only recently been collected in a few countries; therefore, this study is based on primary data collection.
Contributions: Concurrently, factors such as inadequate budget allocation and marginalization of the tourism sector within the country play pivotal roles in molding the Persian Gulf region's tourism trajectory.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: This study aims to design integrative transcendental planning based on exploring phenomena in Rawabogo Village. Since 2011, Rawabogo Village has been designated as a tourism village with customs and cultural heritage. However, the development of tourism village planning has yet to show significant progress.
Research Methodology:  Descriptive qualitative with a symbolic and critical hermeneutic approach, which produces integrative transcendental planning. The data is collected through remote observation and understanding of the information unit.
Results: The results provide an explanation and understanding that Rawabogo Village has the potential to be developed as a tourism village with the oral traditions of the Mount Nagara Padang site and local cultural life as the main attraction. This attraction must be aligned with stakeholder planning and understanding by sustainably implementing economic, innovation, cultural landscape, and community strategies. This strategy will have implications for tourism village planning in Rawabogo Village.
Limitations: The limitation of this research lies in the process of meaning, which is not too deep, and methods can only be implemented in small planning scopes.
Contributions: Integrative transcendental planning is a new contribution to the development of village planning and development paradigms because it does not only consider instrumental approaches but also communication and phenomenological approaches that are appropriate for village phenomena. Customs and cultural heritage are a phenomenon with significant potential that needs to be packaged sustainably to become a tourist attraction in Rawabogo Village.

Purpose: This research paper aims to explore how positive psychological resources influence youth participating in the Industrial Training Fund’s (ITF) National Industrial Skill Development Programme (NISDP), specifically examining the programs’ impact on self-employment creation in Plateau State, Nigeria.
Method: The paper employs Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and a Structural Equation Model (SEM) to examine the relationship between positive psychological resources and self-employment creation in Plateau State.
Results: The study concludes that dimensions of positive psychological resources serve as effective predictors of self-employment creation among youths. However, it notes that two dimensions; resilience and hope, did not exhibit a significant positive relationship. Nonetheless, the lack of significance does not negate the existence of a relationship explaining self-employment creation among youths in the context of this study.
Limitations: Several factors constrained the study. It was conducted within a specific constituency in Plateau State, limiting its scope and generalizability. Therefore, the results may not be applicable to the entire state.
Contributions: This study offers insights beneficial to both self-employed and unemployed youths, emphasizing the importance of a positive mindset in self-employment creation. The findings are particularly relevant to the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) and its National Industrial Skills Development Programme (NISDP), shedding light on the effectiveness of their training programs fostering self-employment. Moreover, this research contributes to the existing body of literature on self-employment creation among youths and extends understanding of positive psychological capital resources (PSYCAP) by examining various dimensions. Additionally, it provides guidance for future directions in research and practice in this field.

Published: August 2024

Global health and well-being largely depend on the pharmaceutical and medical device industries. Manufacturing and quality assurance (QA) processes are crucial to maintaining product efficacy, safety, and regulatory compliance in these sectors. Artificial intelligence (AI) integration presents ground-breaking opportunities to enhance these processes. This study aims to systematically assess the impact of AI on manufacturing and QA in these pharmaceutical and medical device industries. It examines the benefits, challenges, and ethical and legal implications of integrating AI. It offers a thorough understanding of how AI technology can and has been successfully integrated to enhance business operations. An extensive literature analysis was carried out to investigate AI's application, role, benefits, and challenges in manufacturing and quality assurance processes in both industries. Research was also conducted on emerging trends, future developments, and regulatory issues. Increased productivity, early detection of defects, safer and higher-quality goods, improved regulatory compliance, reduced costs, and more flexibility and scalability are some advantages of AI technologies. However, significant obstacles are also to overcome, such as high capital costs, data quality and availability issues, legacy system integration, ethical concerns about bias and data privacy, difficulties with regulatory compliance, and a lack of AI-skilled workers. Case studies show how AI has been utilized to guarantee regulatory compliance and optimize processes. AI integration has much to offer the pharmaceutical and medical device industries in terms of improved manufacturing and quality assurance procedures. By addressing restrictions and seizing novel opportunities, these industries can use AI's transformative potential to support innovation, enhance product quality and safety, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve global health outcomes.

Controversy issues in dividend policy have not been solved so far in modern corporate finance. Dividend payout is a puzzle in the contemporary financing system, as it was a traditional puzzle. Besides, conflict of interest between shareholders and managers of the corporation leads to a dramatic approach in the recent business environment. The main objective of this review was to identify and elucidate dividend payout determinants in manufacturing companies. Manufacturing is an industry that often uses manual labour or machinery to create goods from raw materials. Manufacturing industries include metal, automotive, electronics, textile, chemical, food and beverage, and so on sectors. This review carried out from 2004 to 2022 published studies in indexed journals. The review has assessed 62 journals with different databases through a vigilant review process concretely. The journals have been selected and systematically elucidated as relevant to the subject matter. The review depicts that dividend payout determinants differ from company to company. This shows that the dividend issue is still a puzzle in contemporary corporate finance.
