Introduction. Electromyography (EMG) is a modern method of instrumental neurophysiological diagnostics, which includes two main techniques as nerve conduction studies and needle EMG. Parameters of motor nerve conduction studies have been used in a number of clinical studies to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) during the use of pathogenetic therapy (nusinersen). Now, in our country there are no verified normative parameters of motor nerve conduction studies in infants. It is also worth saying that neonatal screening for identifying SMA patients started in 2023 in our country, and currently gene therapy for this disease is increasingly used, so improving methods for instrumental assessment of the dynamics of the condition during treatment, including using EMG, is relevant.
Objective: to determine the normative parameters of motor nerve conduction studies in 1–6 months, 7–12 months, and 13–24 months infants without neurological pathology.
Materials and methods: The motor nerve conduction studies were carried out using a 2-channel electromyograph Neuro-MVP-Micro (Russia) with electrical stimulation of the ulnar nerve and registration of the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) from the abductor digiti minimi muscle. This made it possible to determine the main parameters of the negative peak of the CMAP — distal latency, amplitude and area, and calculate the motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) along the distal part of the ulnar nerve. The obtained data for each parameter were subject to normal distribution and presented in the form of mean and standard deviation (M±SD), minimum and maximum values (min – max).
Results: In the age range of 1–6 months, the amplitude of the CMAP (mV) was 5.0±1.0 (3.0–8.0); CMAP area (ms∙mV) — 9.1 ± 2.1 (5.5–12.9); distal latency (ms) — 2.2 ± 0.2 (1.6–2.5), MNCV (m/s) — 37.5 ± 5.4 (27.5–48.9).
In the age range of 7–12 months, the amplitude of the CMAP (mV) was 6.2 ± 1.3 (3.8-9.3); CMAP area (ms∙mV) — 11.7 ± 3.0 (6.5–18.6); distal latency (ms) — 2.0 ± 0.2 (1.4–2.4), MNCV (m/s) – 48.4 ± 4.1 (42.1–55.2).
In the age range of 13-24 months, the amplitude of the CMAP (mV) was 6.4 ± 0.6 (5.0-7.3); CMAP area (ms∙mV) — 13.3 ± 2.8 (9.8–18.2); distal latency (ms) — 2.2 ± 0.2 (1.8–2.5), MNCV (m/s) – 52.6 ± 3.8 (41.8–57.3).
Conclusion. For the first time, normative parameters of motor nerve conduction studies were obtained in 1–6, 7–12, and 13–24 months infants without neurological pathology. This will make it possible to objectify neurophysiological parameters in neuromuscular diseases in infants.

Goal - main problems of ensuring food security in Kazakhstan, formation and development of agricultural clusters as a strategic direction of agriculture in the republic are considered. Methods – empirical methods of research, analysis, synthesis, comparative characteristics, generalization were used. Results - the authors indicate that agro-clusters, by facilitating cooperation between stakeholders, play a key role in diversifying agricultural production, reducing post-harvest losses and improving access to markets. From environmental and economic perspective, they are an effective integration structure that allows one to gain a competitive advantage. The realization of agricultural potential is possible through the strengthening of cooperative principles and clustering of the agricultural sector. Cluster management will be aimed at creating conditions for the active use of innovations in technology, management, marketing, as well as to increase the competitiveness of the agricultural sector. The main objectives of the long-term cluster policy are: stabilization of the development of AIC; increasing the share of products and services in the total volume of gross output and exports; increasing the investment attractiveness of the agricultural industry; creating favorable conditions for business activity in rural areas; increasing employment, income and quality of life of the rural population. Based on a detailed study of these issues, conclusions were drawn: the practice of spreading agricultural clusters is significantly influenced by improving the legislative framework, eliminating barriers to internal competition, promoting the expansion of sales markets, and creating specialized training programs. When creating agricultural clusters, national and regional interests must be taken into account; they become driving forces in solving issues of food supply for the region and the country as a whole.

With the saturation of the labor market due to global competition, information technology, and recent downturns in economies around the world, human capital is gaining particular attention. Humans can learn, change, and innovate and thus enable the organization to survive in the long run. The main reason people are employed in a particular organization is to produce and sell products or services that will generate revenues higher than costs. The generation of higher income than expenses, as well as the reduction of the number of resources consumed for production and other operating processes, makes them contributors to the companies’ profits. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between human capital and company performance in the Macedonian real sector, by using pooled OLS regression and Fixed and Random Effect models to analyze a cross-sectional sample of 42 Macedonian companies listed on the Macedonian Stock Exchange during 2016-2021(N=252).

This research paper deals with the analysis of students' attitudes regarding the impact of basic academic studies on the initiation of entrepreneurial activity. In order to determine the attitude of students, research was conducted by surveying and interviewing students using the method of random samples. The following were analyzed: the representation of entrepreneurship as a scientific discipline within the study programs, support in the form of incubation centers, the tendency of dual education, the presence of an entrepreneurial spirit, institutional support measures, the attitude towards female entrepreneurship, the support of mentors and available resources for the development of entrepreneurial competences. The results indicate different attitudes and impressions of students on this topic. It was studied whether there are significant differences in attitudes among the groups of respondents that were formed according to various characteristics in relation to the overall result of the survey. A certain number of students believe that the knowledge and skills acquired through basic academic education are sufficient to start entrepreneurial activity, while the other part of the respondents believe that it is insufficient for entrepreneurial motivation and seek education through practice and an example of a real economy. The studied attitude of the students is positive, but it was observed that there is still a lot of room in the creation of study programs that should be aligned with the digital era, but also with the needs of the "zoomer" generation and their clear desire to invest their future in starting entrepreneurial activities.

Published: January 2024

The new phase of socio-economic development and the transition from the industrial to the post-industrial era also had its spatial consequences. The urban areas, previously intended for industrial production, were abandoned and devastated. The significance of creative industries is often linked to their catalytic role in regenerating such areas. To this end, the concepts of cultural quarters, creative clusters and creative cities emerged, aiming to revitalize deteriorated zones by assigning them new meanings and innovative content. As the entire concept of creative industries is closely related to the context and local management policies, the implementation of the ideas mainly depends on the local authorities. The focus of the study is on analysing the relationship between creative solutions and spatial issues. The goal of the study is to draw attention to both positive and negative outcomes of such an approach. Concluding considerations indicate that creativity in the urban environment hinges not only on management policies but also on citizen participation and civil initiatives that arise in response to official policies.

This study assessed the effect of dietary supplementation of Crassocephalum crepidioides (CCLM) and Chenopodium ambrosioides L. (CALM) leaf meals on relative growth rate, oxidative stress biomarkers, immune response, serum and meat antioxidative enzymes of broilers. A total of 120 one-day-old Cobb 500 chicks were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments (three replicates of 10 birds/treatment) as follows, Diet 1 (basal/control diet), Diet 2 (basal +200mg/kgVitC), Diet 3 (basal +2500mg/kgCCLM) and Diet 4 (basal +2500mg/kgCALM) for 42 days. The result revealed that supplementation of CCLM and CALM significantly reduced (P < 0.05) the concentration of heat shock protein and hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine in broilers compared to the control group. Broilers fed diet containing CCLM and CALM exhibited higher (P < 0.05) serum glutathione peroxidase content compared to the control group. The level of immunoglobulins were significantly higher in birds fed diet containing CCLM, CALM and Vit C compared to control group. However, supplementation of CCLM and CALM did not influence (P > 0.05) the relative growth rate and antioxidant content of breast muscle compared to control group. It’s concluded that CCLM and CALM could be used as natural additive to alleviate oxidative damage, improve immune system and serum antioxidant content of broilers.

The implementation of Umrah financing through bailouts is a product issued by PT. FIFGROUP (AMITRA) for Umrah financing through Umrah bailout funds using ijarah contracts, referring to Fatwa DSN MUI No. 09/DSN-MUI/VI/2000 concerning Ijarah Financing and Fatwa DSN MUI No. 44/DSN-MUI/VIII/2004 related to multiservice financing. Implementation of Umrah bailout funding at PT. FIFGROUP (AMITRA) benefits Ujrah by considering the customer’s repayment time rather than taking advantage of salaries and administrative services provided by PT. FIFGROUP (AMITRA) to customers. The view of Islamic law and positive law regarding the financial arrangement of Umrah through PT FIFGROUP (AMITRA) Genteng uses the Qardh Wal Ijarah contract because the implementation of the contract is not in accordance with what is regulated in fatwa DSN No. 29/DSN-MUI/VI/2002, where the amount of all-ijărah service compensation cannot be borne based on bailouts. Al-Qardh, or the provisions of Islamic law, tend to contain elements of usury.

With the increase in hot temperature events in recent years, there is growing interest in measuring the frequency of recurring temperature events. One of the basis for assessing the frequency of recurrence of temperature events is the probability distribution of temperature events, therefore temperature data is needed to produce statistical modeling, especially in determining the best probability distribution. The study intended to estimate the best-fitted probability model for the daily temperature at the Pekanbaru station in Indonesia from 2010 to 2020 using several statistical analyses. Five continuous probability distributions such as Gamma (GM), Slashed Quasi-Gamma (SQG), Three Parameters Quasi Gamma (TPQG), Two Parameter Gamma-Exponential (TPGE), and Modified Log-Logistic (MLL) distributions were fitted for these tasks using the maximum likelihood technique. To determine the model’s fit to the temperature data, several goodness-of-fit tests were applied, including the graphical methos test (density plot) and Numerical criteria method test (AIC, BIC, and -Log Likelihood). The GM and MLL distribution are found to be the best-fitted probability distribution based on goodness-of-fit tests for the daily temperature data at the Pekanbaru station

The Definition of Computational Statistics Clearly, computational statistics has a connection to the field of statistics as a whole. Determining what we mean by the area of statistics is therefore necessary before wedefine computational statistics in its appropriate sense. At its most fundamental level, statistics deals with turning unprocessed data into knowledge [Wegman, 1988]. Any scientist who is faced with an application that calls for the analysis of raw data must consider issues like:•What data should be collected to answer the questions in the analysis?•How much information needs to be gathered?•What conclusions can be made based on the information?•How much of those conclusions can be believed? The science ofuncertainty is a topic that statistics addresses, and it can assist the scientist in answering these queries

This research examines the role and complex relationship between the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) and its Supervisory Board, with a focus on the Supervisory Board's function as a supervisor of accountability and integrity. The KPK Supervisory Board, which is known for its vigorous anti-corruption initiatives, has institutional control over the organization. This study examines how this supervision impacts the effectiveness of the Corruption Eradication Committee and considers whether the Supervisory Board supports efforts to eradicate corruption or is actually an obstacle to efforts to eradicate corruption. The history of the development of the KPK, the formation and duties of the Supervisory Board, as well as the legislative structure that regulates its affairs, are all included in the examination. In addition, this research also evaluates specific cases where the Supervisory Board's actions influenced the direction of KPK investigations and activities. This research takes a balanced approach, respecting the value of accountability systems but also considering any weaknesses resulting from overly burdensome supervision. The role of the Supervisory Board in preventing abuse of power, harmony between autonomy and accountability, and the impact of the Supervisory Board's decisions on the effectiveness and morale of the Corruption Eradication Commission are some of the main themes raised. Through critical analysis of these elements, this research adds a deeper understanding of the complex interactions between the Corruption Eradication Commission and its Supervisory Board and sheds light on the broader discussion in Indonesia regarding institutional checks and balances and anti-corruption initiatives.

Archery is a sport that prioritizes endurance, strength, accuracy, coordination, flexibility and balance to form archery techniques. These factors must all be supported by training, excellent and long-lasting physical condition. Therefore, every archery athlete must have excellent physical condition when facing a competition or championship. In performance sports, a person or athlete needs good physical condition in addition to technical ability. The physical training provided must be in accordance with the characteristics of the number being developed and in accordance with the physical condition of the swimming athlete himself. Strength is an important basic element in supporting movement skills. Strength is required in all sports for all activities that depend on strength. The strength that works more in archery is muscle strength. Muscle strength refers to a muscle group that is capable of carrying out long contractions. Arm muscle strength is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to contract dynamically or statically by pulling a weight for a relatively long time, to provide encouragement to create consistency of movement from the beginning to the end of archery. Therefore, the strength of the arm muscles and the physical condition of the archer are very important to achieve optimal results. Through this research, researchers are interested in conducting research with the title analysis of hand eye coordination, arm power and vo2max of archery athletes in terms of gender. After the results of the physical condition analysis are obtained, the researchers hope that archery coaches and athletes can further optimize competition preparation and achieve the best performance. The method in this research program is quantitative descriptive. With physical condition test instruments for archery athletes. This study aims to determine the results of the analysis of hand eye coordination, arm power and vo2max of archery athletes in terms of gender. The population in this study was the KONI archery athletes from Bantul Regency, totaling 24 athletes. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that arm length, eye-hand coordination and VO2max of KONI archery athletes in Bantul Regency are in the medium category.

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) bring a heavy impact to raise Indonesia's economy. They accommodate the growth of the nation's gross income by 60.5% and employ 96.9 % of the total man power in this country. To raise the impact of small and medium enterprises the government aims to create more conductive business conditions with the Job Creation Act (UU Ciptaker). In this Act, the small and medium enterprise is allowed to build a limited liability company with only one share holder, named Individual Company for MSME's. The Individual Company for MSME's has the same liability as Limited Liability Company although the Individual Company is run by one person only. In The Individual Company, the company itself only has the same person as Director, and for the consequence of a company that only runs by one person that person also functions as the general meeting of shareholders (GMS). The job creation act is contrary to the limited liability company act. This research studies the liability of Individual Companies for MSME's with the third party. The result of this research can be used by the third party who runs a contract with the Individual Company for MSME's because the Indovidual Company for MSME's doesn't have a complete company organ. The founder of Individual Company for MSME's function as the director and general meeting of shareholders. In the Individual Company for MSME's doesn't have a commissioner, so the Individual Company for MSME's doesn't have a proper surveillance and "checks and balances". That condition makes the third party who has a contract with the Individual Company for MSME's need a proper legal protection.

This research aims to understand, identify, and find solutions to various problems faced by Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in their role of enhancing the economic life of village communities. The study employs several theories from the field of government science, linking them with the role of village economic institutions (BUMDes) in improving the economic life of village communities. The theories of village autonomy and the role of BUMDes are particularly utilized. The research adopts a qualitative design with a descriptive approach. It involves a number of informants, observations, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) activities, secondary data collection, literature studies, and the search for documents relevant to the research problem. The head of the household is used as the unit of analysis. The research setting is in Parigi Moutong Regency; however, due to the extensive area, only two villages in two districts are selected as research locations: Tomini Village in Tomini District and Jono Nunu Village in Central Parigi District. Data analysis is conducted using the process outlined by Miles and Huberman, which includes collecting data, displaying data, analyzing data, drawing conclusions, and verifying data. The findings of this research are expected to provide input for the government at all levels, especially the village government, to improve the management of BUMDes and further solidify the role of this village economic institution so that in a relatively short time, it can enhance the economic life of the community.

A systematic review with meta-analysis on the dynamic strength and muscle power in elite and non-elite Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) athletes is essential to provide a comprehensive and quantitative evaluation of the physical attributes critical for performance, allowing for a better understanding of the training needs and physical characteristics that distinguish different levels of athletes in this sport. Therefore, this study endeavors to comprehensively synthesize existing literature on muscle strength and power in the context of BJJ, making a comparative analysis between elite and non-elite athletes. The research was conducted up to April 20, 2022, employing the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol to systematically search electronic databases using the keywords: "Brazilian Jiu-jitsu" or "BJJ" or "Jiu-jitsu" and "power" or "muscle power" or "physical fitness" or "muscle strength" or "strength." Following a rigorous selection process, 26 articles were included in the systematic review. Subsequently, the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations) tool was employed for evidence assessment. The primary assessments of dynamic strength encompassed protocols involving the Bench press, squat, and pull-up-gi. In the context of muscle power, the meta-analysis considered parameters such as the countermovement jump (CMJ), standing long jump, and variables derived from jump power assessed on the force platform, including Peak velocity, peak power, mean power, and maximum force. The data showed a substantial effect size for strength [1.012 (p≤0.0001)] and a moderate effect size for power [0.619 (p≤0.0001)], indicating superior performance among elite athletes compared to their non-elite counterparts. Although power is predominant in most BJJ actions, strength emerges as a crucial element distinguishing elite from non-elite athletes in this sport. This realization carries significant implications for training and injury prevention, as both strength and power necessitate specialized training to enhance performance in the sport.
