Tinjauan Penerapan Konsep Pencahayaan Dengan Pendekatan Lapisan Cahaya Pada Desain Interior Kafe
Authors: Isdianto Fadhil Achmadi
Published: February 2025

Pencahayaan dalam kafe merupakan faktor yang perlu diperhatikan dalam menciptakan suasana yang nyaman dan menarik bagi pengunjung. Penelitian ini membahas pencahayaan pada desain interior kafe dengan menggunakan teori lapisan cahaya atau konsep pencahayaan dengan “the layer approach” untuk memahami dan menjelaskan interpretasi dari data empiris yang dikumpulkan mengenai studi kasus enam kafe yang terdapat di dalam Bintaro Jaya Xchange Mall. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi bagaimana konsep pencahayaan dengan pendekatan lapisan cahaya diterapkan pada desain interior kafe dan dampaknya terhadap kenyamanan pengunjung dalam beraktivitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode deskriptif dengan menganalisis penerapan lapisan cahaya berdasarkan hasil observasi lapangan serta menganalisis kenyamanan visual pengunjung melalui aspek pencahayaan melalui wawancara. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah terdapat kecenderungan penggunaan lampu spotlight sebagai pencahayaan utama dan indirect strip lighting sebagai ambient, task, maupun decorative layer. Pengaruh focal layer tidak signifikan karena pencahayaan kafe lebih mengedepankan kenyamanan dan suasana. Ambient lighting juga dapat berfungsi sebagai task dan decorative layer sekaligus karena sebagai pencahayaan umum juga dapat menentukan suasana dan nilai estetika ruang. Lapisan pencahayaan ambient, task, focal, dan decorative yang direncanakan dan diatur dengan tepat dapat meningkatkan suasana emosional dan estetika ruangan, serta memperkaya pengalaman visual tanpa memberikan beban berlebih pada mata.

PECULIARITIES OF HOUSEHOLD USE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Tarasenko O. , Koverza V. ,   Mariupol State University
Published: February 2025

The article focuses on studying the use of financial instruments by households in the modern economy. Its purpose is to analyze the available tools for financial management, such as banking products, investment instruments, insurance programs, retirement savings and financial technologies, including mobile applications, cryptocurrencies, and digital platforms.
The article emphasizes the importance of managing household resources as independent economic entities. It establishes that the efficiency of financial management depends on income levels, expenditure stability, and savings availability. Key banking products such as deposits and loans remain essential for safeguarding funds and financing immediate needs. Investment tools, including stocks, bonds, real estate, and government securities, enable households to grow their capital but require knowledge and willingness to take risks.
Risk management through insurance programs is a crucial part of financial strategy, providing financial security in unforeseen circumstances such as illness, loss of work capacity, or property damage. Future planning involves accumulative retirement funds and insurance programs that help households build financial reserves to ensure a comfortable standard of living in retirement.
The study highlights that the development of financial technologies creates new opportunities for household financial management. It underscores the importance of financial literacy, which significantly influences households' ability to effectively use tools and make informed financial decisions. The article notes that financial literacy is a key factor in households making informed decisions about using financial instruments, while a lack of knowledge can lead to mistakes such as excessive credit use or unreasonable investments, thereby increasing financial risks.

THE IMPACT OF THE CASE LAW OF THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS ON LAW ENFORCEMENT IN UKRAINE: CURRENT STATUS AND PROSPECTS
Authors:   Mariupol State University, Volik V. , Shamara R. ,   Mariupol State University
Published: February 2025

The article analyses the importance of judicial law-making for ensuring the flexibility and stability of the legal system in the absence or imperfection of a legal framework. The absence of the necessary provisions in national legislation creates legal gaps that impede effective law enforcement and make it difficult to ensure fairness in court decisions. In such cases, courts play an active law-making role, applying case law, interpretation and analogy to fill the legal gaps.
Based on a comparative analysis, the authors highlight the advantages of judicial lawmaking, in particular, its ability to adapt the legal system to new social challenges, ensure the effectiveness of law enforcement and avoid legal conflicts. At the same time, the authors note that excessive use of the lawmaking function may lead to legal uncertainty and subjectivity in decisions. This is confirmed by examples from different legal systems demonstrating both successful and controversial cases of judicial overcoming of gaps in legislation.
The authors emphasise that the effective functioning of the legal system requires a balance between legislative and judicial lawmaking. Such an approach allows ensuring that legal provisions meet the needs of society and strengthens the rule of law. The article emphasises that judicial law-making should be based on the principles of legal certainty and respect for the interests of society, which minimises the risks of subjective interpretation and instability in law application.
The authors also draw attention to the legal problems associated with the use of judicial lawmaking in Ukraine, which has a mixed legal system, and point to the trend towards the use of case law. The authors conclude by emphasising the importance of continuing research on judicial lawmaking and improving the national legal framework, which will contribute to the sustainable development of law in Ukraine.

RINGKASAN
Untuk meningkatkan keuntungan, orang mungkin berpikir untuk menaikkan harga penjualan atau menaikkan biaya kuliah semesteran. Namun, dengan perguruan tinggi swasta yang kompetitif, hal ini tidak mungkin. Dengan munculnya lebih banyak perguruan tinggi swasta, persaingan akan meningkat. Persaingan kadang-kadang dimulai dengan perang harga, yang berarti bahwa perguruan tinggi swasta menawarkan biaya kuliah semesteran yang rendah tanpa mempertimbangkan biaya operasional yang diperlukan untuk menjadikan seseorang sarjana dalam bidang ilmu yang mereka tawarkan. Jika perguruan tinggi bersaing untuk menawarkan biaya kuliah yang murah, maka perguruan tinggi tersebut harus mempertimbangkan untuk menetapkan biaya kuliah yang rendah, berapa jumlah mahasiswa setiap tahunnya harus diterima sehingga perguruan tinggi memiliki sisa usaha operasionalnya atau laba.
      Oleh sebab itu peneliti ingin melakukan penelitian yang berjudul analisis break event point dalam perencanaan laba suatu studi pada beberapa fakultas di universitas Lancang kuning Pekanbaru. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perhitungan titik impas pada empat fakultas di Universitas Lancang Kuning berada di atas titik impas sebanyak dua fakultas, dan dua fakultas berada di bawah titik impas. Artinya dua fakultas yang berada di bawah titik impas harus Menyusun strategi untuk meningkatkan jumlah pendapatan yang diperoleh dari mahasiwa baru agar dapat memperoleh laba.

Currently, almost all economic activities depend on banking services such as financing and storage. In fact, it is noted that the need for funds continues to increase, leading to the establishment of more financial institutions, both banks and non-banks, both government and private. Currently, people from various professions must have used banking services either in the form of financing or investment or storage. The daily lives of students are greatly assisted by financial institution products.This study is expected to provide a deeper understanding of students' financial behavior, as well as the factors that influence their decisions in opening savings accounts. The results of this study are expected to be used by educational institutions, banking institutions, and the government to design financial education programs and policies that support the improvement of financial literacy among students. .
Piano Lessons in the Office: Playing to Be/Come Alive
Authors: Cavett Esther
Published: February 2025

This phenomenological study investigates the experience of adults who learn the piano whilst working in a demanding professional environment unrelated to music. The context is a large law firm in the commercial district of London. There is considerable evidence that music making, including adults learning the piano or other instruments alone or with others, supports cognitive development, social skills, and mental wellbeing in diverse populations.  There are also biographies and autobiographies for non-specialist audiences regarding the importance of pianos in the lives of public figures working professionally outside music.  In contrast, this study looks in depth not at well-known individuals but rather at the collective experience of ordinary working people who devote hours of their time to improving their piano playing whilst being employed in skilled day jobs unrelated to music.
 
The decentering of the musical canon over recent decades, including away from interest in the piano, that most archly romantic of instruments, has significantly enriched mainstream musicology.  However, this has been at the expense of taking new approaches to (apparently) familiar musical practices located close to home. The qualitative approach taken in this study, known Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, redresses the balance. It suggests to music educators that there is much to be gained by preserving formal individual instrumental tuition in contexts where that is still possible. Additionally, the findings presented offer a preserving jar for (ethno)musicologists who might in future want insight into a specific aspect of  21st-century amateur music making that is fast being eroded.
Environmental aspects of protecting the atmosphere from industrial gases by adsorption
Authors:   Institute of Space Research of Natural Resources of National Aerospace Agency of Azerbaijan, Baku, Republic of Azerbaijan, Bayramova Aygun Seymur qizi
Published: February 2025

The article discusses the environmental aspects of protecting the atmosphere from industrial gases by the adsorption method. As you know, the ongoing anthropogenic air pollution caused by numerous toxic substances released into the atmosphere by industry, construction, agriculture, rail transport and motor transport has made the cleaning of air basins extremely urgent. The use of adsorption processes is becoming increasingly relevant in the modern petrochemical and oil and gas industries. Since adsorption processes are environmentally friendly, prevent environmental pollution and have higher economic performance compared to other processes. The adsorption efficiency depends on the properties of the absorbed components, the chemical composition and the size of the molecules of the adsorbed components and is determined by the properties of the adsorbent.

Soil dams of reclamation systems in the Russian Federation are in difficult to operate conditions due to their physical and moral wear. With regular frequency, emergency situations arise at such facilities under various conditions: emergency discharge of water from the reservoir, floods, fluctuations in the groundwater level, etc. This requires special measures to assess the condition of soil dams. The study presents a methodology for numerical modeling of various conditions at a hydraulic structure with the ability to determine its stress-strain and filtration state, as well as the stability parameters of the structure in case of emergency lowering of water level in the reservoir. Results were obtained on the value of pore pressure and stability coefficient of the soil dam for various phases of the life cycle of the object. In the numerical experiment, the pore pressure in the lower layers of the soil under the dam base was set at 589 kN/m2, with a low water level – 285... 350 kN/m2. It is noted that at a water level of 20 m or more in reservoir, the soil should have a stability coefficient above 1.25... 1.65 in the static state.

Published: February 2025

It is noted that irrigation and drainage systems are complex natural and technical objects that operate in conditions of uncertainty of the dynamic impact of a complex of external and internal factors that change in space and time. Low values of the efficiency coefficient caused by significant losses of irrigation water lead not only to a decrease in the efficiency of the use of reclaimed land, but also to environmental degradation. To justify and select a rational strategy for the modernization of the reclamation complex, it is necessary to form a database of initial data for assessing the technical and functional parameters of reclamation systems, the agroecological state and the level of use of reclaimed land. The purpose of the study was to analyze and integral assessment of the technical and ecological state of the reclamation complex (irrigation and drainage systems) of the Russian Federation. It is noted that most of the facilities (84%) by their technical condition belong to the third and fourth classes, including 70% of irrigation and 88% of drainage systems, 100% of separately located hydraulic structures and canals. Such reclamation facilities do not work efficiently and require recon-struction or major repairs.

The purpose of the study is to classify methodological approaches to justifying crop irrigation regimes based on improving the reliability and accuracy of information support and improving methods for predicting the water consumption of crops. Many researchers agree that optimizing water management in reclamation is critical to crop production because effective water management can significantly improve irrigation efficiency and yield. It is noted that irrigated land accounts for no more than 24% of all arable land, but it accounts for about 40% of world food production. Methods are considered: hydrometeorological; heat balance; water and heat balance; physiological; «coupling equation». Advantages and disadvantages of each method are given.
Examining the Relationship between Water-Equivalent Diameter (Dw) and Body Mass in Breast Cancer Patients
Authors: Nurhanivah Devi , Ramdhani Saumi Zikriani , Bilqis Ayesha
Published: February 2025

Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer worldwide, necessitating precise imaging techniques for effective treatment planning. This study aims to analyze the Water-Equivalent Diameter (Dw) in breast cancer patients using Computed Tomography (CT) and to investigate its relationship with patient body mass. Medical imaging data from 30 breast cancer patients, aged 23-66 years, was reviewed to calculate Dw using three different methods: contour ROI, elliptical ROI, and without ROI. The results showed average Dw values of 28.68 cm for contour ROI, 29.184 cm for elliptical ROI, and 30.255 cm without ROI. This indicates that contour ROI yields the smallest Dw due to its focus on cancerous areas. Furthermore, a positive linear correlation between Dw and body mass was established, with an R² value of 0.7743. This suggests that larger body mass leads to increased Dw values. This study emphasizes the importance of considering ROI selection and highlights the significant impact of patient body mass on Dw. This is crucial for optimizing radiation exposure in breast cancer treatment.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia seen in clinical practice. It is characterized by an irregular
and often rapid heart rate. As people age, the risk of AF increases, making it more prevalent in older adults. Understanding the risk factors
associated with AF is crucial for effective management and prevention of these adverse outcomes. Aim: To analyse the risk factor profile in
patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Materials And Methods: This is a descriptive study to analyse the risk factor profile in patients
diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. The study was conducted in a tertiary care centre situated in Bengaluru from June 2024 to December 2024. Over a
7-month period, 102 patients diagnosed with AF were analysed. Results: Most patients diagnosed with AF were elderly (above 60 years old)-
numbering to 82 patients (80%). Systemic hypertension and diabetes mellitus were the most common observed risk factors occurring in 69 (67%)
and 60 (58%) patients respectively. .Obesity was reported in 34 patients (33%), while smoking was identified in 27 patients (26%).Hypothyroidism
was observed in 24 patients (23%). Among heart diseases, CAD was the most prevalent, affecting 42 (41%) patients. Conclusion: Identification of
risk factors in patients diagnosed with AF is essential for better prognostic and therapeutic decision making. Managing risk factors contributes to
reducing disease activity, thereby improving both morbidity and mortality outcomes.
A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LOCAL INFILTRATION USING LIGNOCAINE ALONE VERSUS LIGNOCAINE COMBINED WITH DEXAMETHASONE ALONG THE SPINAL EPIDURAL NEEDLE PATHWAY FOR PREVENTING BACK PAIN FOLLOWING NEURAXIAL BLOCK IN LOWER LIMB ORTHOPEDIC SURGERIES.

Anaesthetic techniques for orthopaedic surgical procedures include general and regional anaesthesia techniques. Over the past decades, regional
anaesthesia has become the anaesthetic technique of choice for many orthopaedic procedures. It entails injecting a local anesthetic solution to
disrupt signal transmission in peripheral nerves or spinal nerve roots, which supply sensory and motor functions to the surgical area. Regional
anaesthesia can be classified into two categories: Neuraxial anaesthesia which includes spinal, epidural and combined spinal epidural (CSE)
techniques, and peripheral nerve blocks which cover both upper and lower extremity blocks. Neuraxial anaesthesia (NA) involves inserting a
needle or a catheter between the vertebrae to administer medication into either the epidural space (epidural anaesthesia) or the subarachnoid space
(spinal anaesthesia). DL and L these both groups were comparable with regards to mean hemodynamic parameters like pulse rate, systolic and
diastolic blood pressure and oxygen saturation [p value > 0.05]. incidence of post-neuraxial back pain was 51.4% in cases of group Las compared
to 25.7% in group DL [p value = 0.027], which was significantly reduced in Group DL. Post-operatively mean VAS score was significantly less in
group DLas compared to Lat 12 hours (2.66 vs 3.2; p value = 0.02).

Published: February 2025

This study examines the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels in patients with acute
coronary syndrome (ACS). Conducted as an observational cross-sectional study at AIMS & RC, Rajsamand, 100 ACS patients were classified into
STEMI, NSTEMI, and unstable angina. Results revealed a significant positive correlation (r=0.40, p<0.001) between SUA and hsCRP.
Hyperuricemic patients had a higher risk of cardiogenic shock (p=0.02) and heart failure (p=0.01). These findings underscore the prognostic value
of SUAand hsCRPin ACS, aiding in risk stratification and guiding clinical management.

The ICHBS scoring system aims to address the latter by introducing an
objective criteria which can standardize the difficulty levels for
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and recommend the various surgical
options for treatment of gallstone disease based on the difficulty levels
which can be implemented universally. The ICHBS scoring system is
an extremely effective and free tool in treatment of symptomatic
gallstone disease and its application is recommended in all patients
planned for LC. It can prevent unnecessary calot's triangle dissection (
LSC Type II ) in frozen calot's or gallbladder bed dissection ( LSC Type
I ) or by doing LSC Type III thereby reducing associated morbidity and
(2) mortality

Background: Pneumonia remains a significant cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries like India. This study
explores the clinical, bacteriological, and radiological aspects of pediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) to identify correlations and
improve management outcomes. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted at St. Philomena's Hospital from September 2018 to May 2020,
involving 79 children aged 6 months to 18 years diagnosed with CAP. Data were collected on clinical presentations, laboratory findings,
radiological features, and outcomes. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS v22, with significance set at p<0.05. Results: CAP
predominantly affected children under 1 year (49.4%), with a male-to-female ratio of 2.2:1. Common symptoms included cough (97.5%), hurried
breathing (91.1%), and fever (88.6%). Radiological evidence of pneumonia was present in all cases, with bacterial etiology (63.3%) surpassing
viral (36.7%). Neutrophilia (84%), elevated ESR (73.4%), and CRP (67.1%) were significantly associated with bacterial pneumonia (p<0.005).
Blood culture identified pathogens in 5.1% of cases, with Streptococcus pneumoniae being the most common. Most patients (91.1%) had no
complications, and all achieved favorable outcomes. Conclusion: Early recognition and appropriate antibiotic management are critical in
preventing complications of pediatric pneumonia. Neutrophilia, elevated ESR, and CRP serve as reliable markers for bacterial CAP. Enhanced
diagnostic approaches and immunization programs are vital to mitigating the disease burden.
2D ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT OF LEFT ATRIAL DIMENSIONS AND LEFT VENTRICULAR FILLING PRESSURES IN PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION – AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY

Published: February 2025

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia seen in clinical practice. AF prevalence increases with age and is
often linked to underlying conditions such as hypertension, heart failure and valvular disease.2D echocardiography (2D Echo) offers insights into
atrial size, ventricular function, and structural abnormalities such as valvular disease and left heart dimensions. Aim: To analyze the
echocardiographic assessment of left atrial dimensions and left ventricular filling pressure in patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Materials
And Methods: This is a descriptive observational study to analyze echocardiographic assessment of left atrial dimensions and left ventricular
filling pressure in patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. The study was conducted in a tertiary care centre from June 2024 to December 2024.
Over 7 months, 102 patients diagnosed with AF were analyzed. Results: The majority of patients diagnosed with AF were in the 61-80 age group,
comprising 59 individuals (57.84%). Common observations include concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and hypertension, which were
observed in 43 and 76 patients respectively. Left atrial (LA) dimensions revealed an average size of 4.71 ± 0.15 cm in males and 4.36 ± 0.11 cm in
females. Out of 102 patients, 70 (68%) patients were categorized as having moderate LAVI (left atrial volume index) and LA enlargement which
included 28 males and 42 females. LAVI measured 45.035±1.45 cm in males and 43.42±0.91 cm in females. Filling pressure during atrial
fibrillation measured by E/e' was found to be 13.84 ± 2.35cm in males and 13.78 ± 2.28 cm in females. Additionally, PAH pressure was 45.8± 11.27
mmHg in males and 53.28± 15.20 mmHg in females. Among heart diseases, CAD was the most prevalent affecting 42 patients (41%). Conclusion:
The 2D echocardiographic evaluation of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients is critical for therapeutic decision-making and prognosis. This study aimed
to collect information on left atrial (LA) enlargement, left atrial volume index (LAVI), concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), pulmonary
artery pressures and LV filling pressure in AF patients. Our study revealed AF patients had higher LA volume, LVH, higher PAH, and increased
filling pressure consistent with existing literature.

Background: Lateral epicondylitis, or tennis elbow, is a common overuse syndrome of the extensor tendons of the forearm causing pain in the
elbow and forearm and lack of strength and function of the elbow and wrist. It has been suggested that eccentric exercise programs should be used
as a first-line conservative treatment for LET in order to lengthen the musculotendinous unit while applying a load. Muscle Energy Technique
(MET) is a gentle manual therapy intervention targeting the soft tissues primarily, although it also makes a major contribution toward the joint
mobilization. Present study compares both these techniques for effective management of tennis elbow. Methodology: 30 College students with
Hamstring tightness were selected via Inclusion and Exclusion criteria and divided into 2 groups via simple random sampling. One group received
Foam rolling and another group received Passive stretching. Both groups assessed pre and post treatment via Active Knee Extension test. Total
study duration was 2 weeks. Results of present study confirms that both Foam rolling and passive stre Results And Conclusions: tching can be
useful in improving hamstring flexibility in college students.
