Authors: Shidiq Muhammad Agus , Mustaqim Mustaqim , Wibowo Hadi , Farid Ahmad , Rusnoto Rusnoto
Published: December 2024

Trap lights, also known as insect traps, are used to attract light-loving insects when night falls. This device can also be used to count the population and presence of insects in agricultural land. From the beginning of planting, the use of light traps will help farmers detect pests. It seems that Indonesian society is still underutilizing wind energy as a source of electricity. One of the reasons is the low average wind speed in Indonesia. It is difficult to generate large amounts of electrical energy because wind speeds range from 3 m/s to 5 m/s. This research focuses on innovating existing tools by providing variations in wind speed and load on turbines, which are then compared to each other to produce turbine efficiency values. Therefore, an experimental method was chosen for this data collection. The test results show that the generator produces the highest power of 4.9833 Watts at a wind speed of 8.75 m/s and a power load of 7 Watts. On the other hand, the turbine achieves the highest efficiency value of 6.52% at a wind speed of 6.91 m/s and a power load of 7 Watts.

Patriarchy Driven Invisible Exploitation Among Putting Out System Women Workers in Moslem Democracy Country
Authors: Fitriah Fitriah , Imelda Johanna Debora , Fawzi Indra Lestari
Published: December 2024

Most workers in the Putting-out System (POS) are dominated by women who come from poor families, are married and have children, have low education and do not have skills who work because of family economic pressures. This homework is informal work that is vulnerable to exploitation by not getting decent wages, long working hours, and not getting social protection such as work accident insurance and insecure job status. The Indonesian Home Workers Network (Jaringan Pekerja Rumahan Indonesia/JPRI) is an organization that accommodates homeworkers to carry out social movements to obtain decent work. However, the involvement of female homeworkers in this movement is still very low. This study aims to describe how female workers are increasingly exploited because they are not considered worthy of their rights as workers and how the patriarchal system perpetuates this exploitation by placing women in the domestic sphere and examines JPRI efforts to raise this issue by utilizing social movements. This study is a descriptive study with a qualitative feminist approach. The selection of informants was carried out by snowballing method to members of JPRI and the Trade Union Rights Center (TURC) as an NGO accompanying JPRI. The results of the study show that female homeworkers’ choice of jobs reflects invisible exploitation based on gender discrimination and this is reinforced by the dominance of men over women through a patriarchal system that is perpetuated through the institutions of family, economic and nation. The study recommends that at the macro level, the government needs to recognize the existence of home workers by making regulations related to home workers so that their problems are exposed. Meanwhile, at the micro level, JPRI needs to continuously build awareness among female home workers that they are also real workers by taking individual and group approaches.

Authors: Youcefi Afaf
Published: December 2024

Introduction and objective. Acute myeloid leukemias are clonal heterogeneous hematologic malignancies due to the transformation of a hematopoietic stem cell or a committed progenitor to the myeloid lineage. AML type 3 is a particular form of acute myeloid leukemia clinically, cytologically and molecularly. One of the main objectives to achieve in the current therapeutic strategy; the introduction of a targeted treatment all
transretinoic acid (ATRA) and more recently arsenic trioxide (ATO), coupled with the improvement of the symptomatic treatment has upset the prognosis of this form of acute leukemia which has become currently the most consistently curable. Material and methods. Over a period of 5 years, from January 2016 to December 2020, 57 patients (pts) or 14% with AML 3 were diagnosed among 220 pts with acute myeloid leukemia. All patients received a chemotherapy protocol including transretinoic acid. Results. According
to their place of residence, the city of Batna had the highest frequency of 25%. Then the city of El Oued (12%) and Biskra (12%). The overall median age was 37 years (36.6 years for men and 37 for women). The blood count showed a variable white blood cell (WBC) count, with leukopenia found in 27.3% of cases, normal WBC count in 18.2% of cases, and high WBC count in 54.5% of cases. Clinical presentation of AML at diagnosis was most often characterized by severe anemia, thrombocytopenia and leukocytosis up to
140.109g/L. It is noteworthy that anemia was present in all patients (hemoglobin range 4.7 10.8 g/dL). Of these 57 pts, the median age was 37 years (5 to 85). In terms of diagnostic means, cytochemistry was used in more than 47% of the cases, flow cytometry was used in 79%. Conclusion. From the therapeutic impact point of view, this study highlights the
young age of the patients which represents the most discriminating prognostic factor and thus allows to orient the therapeutic strategy towards chemotherapy protocols close to those used in pediatrics.

Authors: Swaleha Patel  , Omkar Waghmare  , Rohan kumbhar  , Atharva Bhadange  , Prof. Sarita Charkha
Published: December 2024

The healthcare sector is undergoing a significant transformation as it embraces advanced technologies to address some of the most pressing challenges related to accessibility, data security, and operational efficiency. Among these innovations, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain technology have emerged as key enablers of enhanced healthcare delivery. AI-powered chatbots are being increasingly utilized to provide immediate, real-time assistance to patients, helping them assess symptoms, obtain basic medical advice, and access information without the need for in-person consultations. These chatbots, powered by Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, can efficiently handle a wide range of patient inquiries, improving accessibility and reducing the burden on healthcare providers.
On the other hand, Blockchain technology is revolutionizing the way health records are managed. It offers a decentralized, secure, and transparent method of storing and sharing health data, ensuring data integrity, and empowering patients with control over their own medical information. By enabling smart contracts and secure data transactions, Blockchain ensures that health records are easily shared among authorized entities, reducing the risks of unauthorized access and data breaches.
This paper provides an in-depth survey of the integration of these technologies into a unified healthcare management system. It explores the practical applications of AI chatbots in improving patient engagement, symptom management, and appointment scheduling, while also discussing how Blockchain can enhance the security, transparency, and interoperability of health records. The paper further addresses the challenges that come with implementing these technologies, including issues related to scalability, data privacy, and regulatory compliance. Finally, it proposes a scalable, secure, and user-friendly platform that combines the strengths of both AI chatbots and Blockchain to create an efficient and reliable healthcare system, poised to improve the overall delivery of healthcare services..

Authors: Cornelius Angela Pettit , Mace Sharon E. , Char Douglas Mark , Doyle Constance , Noll Samantha , Reyes Vivian , Wang Jennie
Published: December 2024

Objective: To provide an overview of the literature on the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on healthcare disparities in various groups, in relation to social determinants of health (SDOH) and longstanding social disparities.
Design: The Disaster Preparedness and Response Committee of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) addressed the impact of health disparities in disaster planning and response. A workgroup composed of seven physicians with academic and deployment disaster medicine experience was formed. A literature review focusing on healthcare disparities during the COVID-19 pandemic was conducted. Search strategies included medical sources such as PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar and nonmedical publications focused on COVID-19. The group combined the literature found and identified general themes. A framework using recognized SDOH was applied to organize the material and allow for ease of reporting. We also noted the unmet burden and challenges that underserved communities struggled with prior to the pandemic onset. The workgroups’ report was presented to the ACEP Board of Directors.
Results: COVID-19 significantly impacted groups burdened with poor SDOH to a much greater degree than the general population. Many healthcare disparities that existed prior to COVID-19 were worsened during the pandemic. Little information exists about how these inequities are being addressed.
Conclusions: COVID-19 magnified and more fully exposed healthcare disparities. These disparities, although common, can be partially mitigated. Efforts are needed to better understand healthcare disparities brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and to find solutions to address future pandemics across all four phases of a disaster.

The Role of Family in Fostering Mental Health: Nurturing Practices and Their Long-Term Effects
Authors:   Department of Education, Government Degree College, Sopore, Jammu and Kashmir 193201, India, Rasool Altaf
Published: December 2024

The family plays a pivotal role in shaping and nurturing mental health, serving as the foundational support system for individuals across all stages of life. Positive family dynamics, including open communication, emotional support, and strong interpersonal relationships, are critical in fostering resilience, coping mechanisms, and emotional well-being. Conversely, dysfunctional family environments, characterized by neglect, abuse, or poor communication, can contribute to mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues. This paper explores the intricate relationship between family involvement and mental health, highlighting the protective factors associated with nurturing family practices and the adverse effects of familial dysfunction. It further examines how cultural, social, and economic factors influence family roles in mental health maintenance. Recommendations for strengthening family-based mental health interventions, such as family therapy and education programs, are also discussed. Emphasizing the role of family as a cornerstone of mental health, this study underscores the importance of collective efforts to create supportive home environments conducive to psychological well-being.

Published: December 2024

Over the years, several strategies have been deplored to improve safety performance in organizations and eliminate accidents. Part of the strategies involved improved engineering designs, personnel training and deployment of safety management systems. While these strategies resulted in significant reduction in accidents rates in the different industries, they have not resulted in complete elimination of accidents. Behaviour-based safety (BBS) programme was introduced to address accidents from human frailties through a systematic process of improving safety behaviours. The process uses behavioural psychology and employee involvement to prevent accidents believed to be caused mainly by human errors. Despite the resources expended in implementation of BBS, researchers do not agree on BBS as an effective instrument for improvement of health and safety management in organizations. This research was undertaken to determine how BBS implementation affects at-risk behaviour. Specifically, the study aimed to establish whether implementation of BBS programme led to reduction in at-risk behaviours among workers in the chemical process industry. The research was conducted using questionnaires distributed to 50 workers (of different job levels and categories) in the Nigerian chemical process industry. The workers were selected through a stratified random sampling technique. The questionnaires evaluated key elements of BBS as implemented by different organizations in the industry. The data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation. The study established that deployment of BBS was effective in reducing at-risk behaviours. The implication is that for organizations that are having challenges with unsafe acts, at-risk behaviours, and accidents due to human errors and mistakes, BBS can be an effective tool to deploy to transform the culture. Though this research established that BBS contributes to reduction in at-risk behaviours, further study is recommended to address the proportion of at-risk behaviours that are reduced by the implementation of BBS, and to identify the impact of BBS programme focused on organisation’s management. This would enable organizations implementing BBS programme to proactively project the expected gains from programme deployment.

Published: December 2024

The purpose of the research was to evaluate how internal audit practices and standards affected deposit-taking SACCO financial performance in Kenya. The research also sought to determine how Sacco size affected the link between the financial performance of Kenyan deposit-taking SACCOs and internal audit practices and standards. Agency theory served as the theoretical foundation for the study. The research philosophy that guided this work is in line with positivism. A descriptive survey approach was used in the investigation. Participants in the research were chief accountants, chiefs of internal audit, and financial managers from deposit-accepting SACCOs in Kenya. The research had 504 individuals. 223, the desired sample size, was selected using a conventional random sampling procedure. A structured questionnaire was used in the investigation. Eight SACCOs participated in a pilot test, however the findings were left out of the final analysis. The data was examined using both descriptive and inferential statistics. To describe the data, the research employed descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and percentages. Using SPSS version 26, inferential analysis included basic linear regression and hierarchical regression. The calculated coefficient of determination (R square) of 0.373, P=0.000, indicates that 37.3% of the variation in the financial performance of Deposit Taking Saccos in Kenya can be explained by the audit committee characteristics. The relationship between the size of the Sacco and audit committee characteristics had a substantial moderating influence on the financial performance of Deposit Taking Saccos (R2=0.646, P=0.001). The impact of audit committee characteristics on financial performance increases significantly by 0.162 units for every unit increase in Sacco size (P=0.001). Therefore, the study concluded that Sacco size is a significant moderator and recommended that SACCOs with larger member deposits should prioritize the composition and effectiveness of their audit committees, ensuring that they are well-equipped with financial expertise and oversight capabilities. This will enable them to effectively manage their resources and operations, ultimately enhancing financial performance.
Stochastic Mortality Models with Birth Cohort Effects in Older People: A Systematic Review
Authors: Boateng Abigail Yeboah , Omari-Sasu Akoto Yaw , Boateng Maxwell Akwasi
Published: December 2024

As populations age, comprehending the factors that influence mortality rates becomes ever more critical. Age, period and birth cohort are now acknowledged as essential determinants in analyzing (and projecting) mortality trends. This systematic review investigates the impact of birth cohort effects on mortality rates among individuals aged 60 and older, with a particular emphasis on stochastic mortality models. A thorough literature search was performed to identify studies published over the past three decades that examine stochastic mortality models incorporating birth cohort effects in older adults. Five primary mortality models were assessed and data were extracted concerning study characteristics, participant demographics and mortality outcomes. The findings underscore the significance of cohort effects in mortality modeling, particularly for senior demographics. These effects encompass social and historical elements that shape generational health; thus, they enhance the precision of mortality projections and guide effective policy formulation. Stochastic models that integrate cohort effects were shown to more accurately capture distinct mortality trends. This indicates that exposure to advancements in healthcare and environmental influences, significantly affects mortality results among older cohorts. However, this review identifies several challenges in model estimation and proposes avenues for future inquiry. It advocates for adapting models to more accurately mirror the unique characteristics of aging populations, improving validation techniques for mortality models and applying the results to real-world contexts to bolster decision-making in public health and social policy.

Authors: Ingolo Hope Anindo , Ong'onda Anashia Nancy
Published: December 2024

The world today is faced with various epidemics which have introduced myriad of challenges. COVID-19 disease is the latest crisis with its attendant to health and language issues. With its emergence, COVID-19 introduced into the global linguistic repertoire a specialized form of discourse which manifested in the way government communicates to the public. The study set to analyze multimodality features of COVID 19 posters. The objectives were to describe the multimodal structure of COVID-19 posters, establish the semiotic choices adopted, explore the use of persuasive verbal and visual elements as components of multimodality, and explain the functions of multimodal metadiscourse. The study employed Social Semiotics Theory and adopted a descriptive research design. The target population was COVID-19 posters in Kenya, with a sample size of 30 posters selected through purposive and snowball sampling. Data collection methods included documentary analysis and an observational checklist, with data analyzed qualitatively through content analysis. The findings revealed that COVID-19 posters in Kenya predominantly utilized bold colors, attention-grabbing visuals, and culturally resonant symbols to capture attention and enhance message retention. Semiotic choices included the strategic use of icons, such as masks and social distancing symbols, and multilingual text to cater to diverse audiences. Verbal messages often relied on persuasive techniques, including imperative statements ("Stay Safe," "Wash Hands") and reassuring tones, to encourage compliance. Multimodal metadiscourse was instrumental in creating coherence and reinforcing critical health messages, such as prevention measures and the importance of vaccination. The study recommended the promotion of health literacy through the design of clear, concise, and inclusive messaging that accommodates varying levels of literacy. Posters should utilize plain language, simple visuals, and relatable examples to convey key information about prevention, symptoms, and protective measures.

Changes in educational institutions have experienced quite rapid development, where education is a very influential thing in advancing the country. In this context, this research explores the implementation of leaders' strategies in facing change. Leaders in an institution have a very important role in providing guidance, supervision, and direction so that the institution runs according to its stated goals. The school principal also plays a role in making policies and will determine what strategic actions will be taken to advance and maintain the institution he leads and be the person responsible for making decisions if a conflict occurs. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a descriptive method in which the author explains the phenomena obtained in the field using data collection methods carried out by interviews, documentation, and observation. Lack of competence in resources is one of the challenges in implementing strategies by school principals. To overcome this obstacle, it is necessary to have an effective strategy that leaders must have so that they can adapt to changing times by providing regular training. This research aims to provide insight into how to face challenges in changing times by using several strategies so that institutions can implement and adapt to changing times.
ABSTRAKPerubahan pada lembaga pendidikan mengalami perkembangan yang cukup pesat, dimana pendidikan merupakan suatu hal yang sangat berpengaruh dalam memajukan negara. Dalam konteks ini, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi implementasi strategi pemimpin dalam menghadapi perubahan. Pemimpin dalam suatu lembaga mempunyai peranan yang sangat penting dalam memberikan bimbingan, pengawasan, dan pengarahan agar lembaga tersebut berjalan sesuai dengan tujuan yang telah ditetapkan. Kepala sekolah juga berperan dalam pengambilan kebijakan dan akan menentukan tindakan strategis apa yang akan diambil untuk memajukan dan mempertahankan lembaga yang dipimpinnya serta menjadi penanggung jawab pengambilan keputusan jika terjadi konflik. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif dimana penulis menjelaskan fenomena yang diperoleh di lapangan dengan menggunakan metode pengumpulan data yang dilakukan dengan wawancara, dokumentasi, dan observasi. Kurangnya kompetensi sumber daya menjadi salah satu tantangan dalam penerapan strategi yang dilakukan kepala sekolah. Untuk mengatasi kendala tersebut, diperlukan strategi efektif yang harus dimiliki para pemimpin agar dapat beradaptasi dengan perubahan zaman dengan memberikan pelatihan secara berkala. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan wawasan bagaimana menghadapi tantangan perubahan zaman dengan menggunakan beberapa strategi agar institusi dapat menerapkan dan beradaptasi terhadap perubahan zaman.

This research focuses on analyzing the errors made by seventh-grade students in solving literacy problems related to linear equations in one variable, based on Polya's steps. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, errors are identified at each stage proposed by Polya: understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and reviewing the solution. Seventh-grade students from SMPN 2 Pancur Batu were selected as research subjects through purposive sampling to represent various levels of mathematical ability. Data collection techniques included observation, tests, interviews, and document analysis. The findings revealed that the most common errors occurred in the stages of planning and executing the plan, often influenced by misconceptions and a lack of procedural skills. Based on these findings, teachers are advised to emphasize systematic learning in accordance with Polya's steps to enhance students' mathematical literacy and problem-solving skills.

This research is classroom action research which aims to increase students' understanding of basic geometric concepts by utilizing Wordwall-based learning media. This research adopts Kurt Lewin's PTK model which consists of two cycles, where each cycle includes four main stages: planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The research subjects were class VII junior high school students. Data was collected through observation, tests, and questionnaires using instruments in the form of observation sheets, test questions for understanding mathematical concepts, and questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out using quantitative and qualitative descriptive approaches. The results showed that students' understanding of mathematical concepts increased from the low category in cycle I to the good category in cycle II. Student and teacher activities during both cycles were in the very good category. Meanwhile, students' responses to gamification-based interactive learning media increased from the very interesting category in cycle I to the category that remained very interesting but higher in cycle II.
