Maintaining economic security is one of the main tasks of any state. To ensure it, not only a sufficient flow of funds is required, without which the state is not able to fully function and develop, but also their rational use, so the state needs to develop a budget system that will allow for the effective distribution of budget funds. The article is devoted to the study of the public sector as a factor in ensuring national economic security. The mechanism for ensuring economic security in the financial and budgetary sphere is considered. The state and factors of budgetary security are analyzed. An assessment of the state of the budgetary system within the boundaries of economic security was carried out. Suggested recommendations for improving control over the use of budgetary funds.

Abstract

Education is needed to determine success in the world of education, especially with the rapidly changing times, educators should think harder to be able to take advantage of the time how to provide the best education as a spiritualist or an intermediary for the success of educating children in the world of education. There are so many education experts who think about the best education, but at least there are four elements that are the conditions for the establishment of teaching and should be a serious spotlight so that education can run well, they are educators, students, knowledge to be provided and methods that used in delivering the knowledge. To be more specific, the author will only take how one point that is the technology education model. Because technology education model are vital things or must be known and understood by every educational institution, so that the resulting output can get perfect results according to the vision and mission that has been planned by each educational institution. This then motivates the author to reveal more and how the technology education model which is good, both according to western scientists, and in accordance with the Al Quran.

Authors: Nurhayati Immas , Endri Endri , Suharti Titing , Sundarta Imam , Rinda Rachmatullaily Tinakartika
Published: September 2022

During the recent COVID-19 pandemic, most countries are in a phase of slowing economic growth that causes long-term financial distress and leads to bankruptcy. This paper describes the accuracy of financial distress prediction of the healthcare sub-sector companies using the Altman Modified Z-Score, Springate, and Zmijewski methods. The level of accuracy is determined based on the suitability of the calculation results of the three models with the company’s bankruptcy data published on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and strengthened by the analysis based on the calculation of the type error I and II. Based on the level of accuracy and error types I and II, the Springate is the most accurate method in analyzing the financial distress prediction of the healthcare sub-sector companies with an accuracy rate of 91.4275. Comparing financial performance before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the mean difference test shows that there is no significant difference in financial performance before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Employee Retention Practices and the Performance of Small and Medium Enterprises in Nigeria
Authors: Bikefe Grace George , Daniel Cross Ogohi
Published: September 2022

In Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) performance discourse, several factors which can improve or hinder their growth and excellence have been identified. However, the focus has been on factors related to business owners’ entrepreneurial competencies or challenges external to SMEs. Employee turnover is a major challenge experienced by SMEs, that has contributed to their abysmal performance. However, the role of employee retention practices in addressing employee turnover and its impact on SME performance has received little exposure in related literature. This research addressed this gap by examining the impact of employee retention practices on the performance of SMEs in Nigeria. Data was sourced through a questionnaire-based survey of 430 respondents and analyzed using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and chi-square statistic. The study’s findings revealed that employee retention practices have a significant impact on the performance of SMEs in Nigeria. For these practices to positively impact SME performance, a coherent combination of practices should be implemented. Gaps were identified in training and career development practices within the SMEs surveyed. The importance of business sector-specific factors and employees’ educational qualification to SME performance were also highlighted. The findings also reiterated the importance of non-financial measures in assessing SME performance. It is recommended that SMEs pay attention to employee retention practices to retain valuable employees and improve their overall performance.

Authors: Çela Shpresa , Gjoni (Karameta) Albana , Shehi Fiona , Duli Brendon
Published: September 2022

Small and medium enterprises are very important part of Albanian Economy, they represent almost 99% of Albanian registered enterprises and generate more than 80% of jobs in the labour market. They also contribute 60-75% of Gross Domestic Product. SME-s are key elements of the Albanian economy. This study tries to investigate the effects of changes in fiscal policies to SMEs in Albania, which is also the reason why this topic is of interest to many researchers. If we compare Albania’s number of SMEs with other countries that stand for the same level of economic development, they are almost at the same level. Moreover, turnover and the number of employees have increased for SMEs, while revenues collected from this tax have decreased. The study tends to explain how the simplified corporate profit tax rate affects budget revenues, its impact and the changes over the years. We use secondary data to analyze periods from the year 2000 to the year 2019. Also, to analyze if the simplified profit tax is important or statistically significant and it has an effect on the budget revenues, we use an econometric regression model. In a conclusion, this study will also show the government measures during the post-Covid-19 period taken for SMEs. Besides conclusions, we give our recommendations based on our econometric model analysis.

El aprovisionamiento de elementos no productivos. Caso de la empresa NMISA
Authors: Torreguitart Mirada M. Consol
Published: September 2022

El contexto actual de desintegración vertical motivado por la búsqueda de flexibilidad por parte de las organizaciones ha comportado que las empresas centren sus esfuerzos en definir sus líneas estratégicas de actuación en el desarrollo del aprovisionamiento. En este sentido, a pesar de que la adquisición de elementos productivos tiene una incidencia superior en la estructura de costes y en la obtención de diferenciación en calidad y servicio, las grandes empresas están desarrollando sus ejes estratégicos en el desarrollo del aprovisionamiento no productivo. En concreto, NMISA en el proceso de aprovisionamiento no productivo trabaja con la estrategia de subcontratación que considera dos aspectos como prioritarios: los proveedores y las actividades de mejora; destacando como actividad de mejora los pedidos abiertos. Estos aspectos definen sus políticas de trabajo para obtener una buena posición competitiva.
Conocimiento versus integración de conocimiento: un análisis de la ventaja competitiva
Authors: Lloria Aramburo María Begoña
Published: September 2022

El conocimiento, tanto individual como social, y su gestión, se han convertido en una de las principales cuestiones del management actual. Es por ello que en el presente trabajo, estudiaremos cómo el conocimiento puede ofrecer nuevas oportunidades a la empresa para alcanzar o mejorar su capacidad competitiva. Partimos de dos perspectivas distintas que han surgido en torno a la gestión del conocimiento. La primera, considera a la empresa capaz de crear y aplicar conocimiento, y reconoce la existencia de un conocimiento organizativo de naturaleza distinta al conocimiento individual.Tomando como base esta perspectiva, y a la luz de la Teoría de Recursos y Capacidades, estudiaremos qué tipos de conocimiento son más seguros para el alcance y mantenimiento de una ventaja competitiva. La segunda perspectiva, reconoce al individuo como único agente capaz de crear conocimiento, y considera que la principal misión de la empresa es la de integración o combinación del conocimiento especializado de sus miembros. Tomando cono base esta perspectiva, veremos cómo debe llevarse a cabo dicha integración o combinación de conocimiento para el logro de una ventaja competitiva sostenible.

Condicionantes de los factores explicativos del resultado empresarial
Authors: Santos Álvarez María V. , García Merino María T.
Published: September 2022

Dos son los factores que en la literatura se consideran esenciales en la explicación de los resultados empresariales: La estructura del sector y los factores específicos de la empresa. Sobre la idea de la complementariedad de ambos, nos planteamos ahondar en el estudio de ciertos elementos condicionantes que, a modo de filtros, inciden en el peso de cada uno de aquéllos en la explicación de los resultados empresariales. Al respecto consideramos dos condicionantes: la amplitud del periodo temporal y las características más o menos restrictivas del entorno empresarial. Las cajas de ahorro españolas a lo largo del periodo 1986-1996 constituyen la base sobre la que se realiza la aplicación del estudio. Los resultados indican que son básicamente las condiciones individuales las que proporcionan explicación de los resultados alcanzados por las entidades analizadas. Asimismo se constata que el peso de los efectos del sector y de la empresa viene condicionado por la extensión del intervalo de tiempo considerado y por la situación del entorno, aquí representada por las restricciones del marco legal vigente.

El efecto de la incertidumbre, la efectividad del agente, el Marketing-Mix y la información asimétrica sobre la estructura de compensación de la fuerza de ventas
Authors: Azorín Escolano Alfredo
Published: September 2022

El objetivo de este estudio consiste en corroborar determinadas proposiciones teóricas derivadas de los modelos analíticos de Basu, Lal, Srinivasan y Staelin (1985) y de Lal y Srinivasan (1988 y 1993), referentes al efecto de la incertidumbre en el entorno de ventas y de la efectividad del vendedor sobre la estructura del plan de compensación de la fuerza de ventas. Las hipótesis propuestas son corroboradas con los datos obtenidos, es decir, los directores de venta ofrecen una mayor proporción de salario a medida que la incertidumbre se incrementa y cuando sus vendedores son menos productivos. Por otro lado, se proponen implicaciones teóricas referentes al efecto de determinadas variables del marketing-mix y la información asimétrica entre empresa y vendedor sobre el plan de compensación.

Objectives. This study aimed at comparing the methodologies for achieving an occlusal-mesial ceramic inlay using both the conventional and digital methods in terms of workflow protocol, aesthetic and functional results, working time, but also costs and equipment needed. Material and methods. A 22-year-old patient presented with a direct mesio-occlusal composite restoration with a secondary marginal decay in tooth 3.6 that was subsequently restored by a ceramic inlay manufactured using both traditional and digital methods. Outcomes. The dental technician's talent, experience, and vision guided the technical process of creating the conventional inlay. The technical process of producing the digital inlay involved fewer laboratory stages, but also contamination risks than conventional ones, removing potential human errors associated with each stage and allowing possible changes to be made more quickly and efficiently. The conventional method took more time to complete all of the laboratory steps than the digital method. Conclusions. When compared to the digital method, the traditional method allowed the dental technician to achieve a high level of individualization of the prosthetic restoration. Digital techniques are a method of the future that is rapidly growing and improving. Digital techniques for obtaining an inlay involved high-performance equipment, which is pricey to purchase and maintain.

Authors: Prasetya Ekawaty , Ahmad Zul Fikar
Published: September 2022

The port is a meeting point where the ships, goods and people embark and disembark, also a gateway for the transformation of the spread of diseases such as dengue fever. The efforts to prevent dengue transmission at ports are to free the port area from the life of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. At the perimeter of the port area of   Gorontalo, the HI and CI gures for 2011-2013 have exceeded the predetermined indicator, namely 0 and at the port, there are many buildings and containers for port activities that can become breeding grounds for larvae. The formulation of the problem in this study is how the results of the Aedes aegypti larva survey in the Perimeter Area in the Port of Gorontalo City are. The novelty of this study is due to research on surveys of Aedes Aegypti larvae around the area in the port . This study aimed to determine the HI and CI numbers and the types of potential breeding sites for Aedes aegypti larvae in the perimeter area of   the port of Gorontalo city. This research was an observational study with a descriptive study approach. Where the samples studied were 25 buildings and 48 containers. The sampling technique used was total sampling. Based on the results of data analysis, it is known that the HI and CI numbers on the perimeter area in the port of Gorontalo city are HI (16%) and CI (12.5%) and the type of potential breeding place for Aedes aegypti larvae are buckets. For this reason, it is hoped that the port of Gorontalo City will close and drain the TPA and the Class III KKP of Gorontalo further to improve the control of Aedes aegypti larvae and mosquitoes.Keywords: Larvae survey; Port; Aedes aegypti

Published: September 2022

There are more cases of malnutrition than other cases, such as stunted growth of children and loss of vitamins and minerals. Lack of consumption of vegetables and fruit causes children to be susceptible to malnutrition. The novelty of this study is because it examines the knowledge and attitudes of school-age children towards vegetable and fruit consumption at SD Negeri 9 pekanbaru The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards vegetable consumption in school-age children. This research is a quantitative type of research using cross sectional method which was conducted in July 2015 to determine the knowledge and attitude scores. This research was conducted at the State Elementary School 9 Pekanbaru in a school environment where school children are easier to lack nutrients such as vitamins and minerals during their growth period. Of the 88 respondents studied, there is a significant relationship between knowledge of consumption of vegetables and fruit indicated by a P Value of 0.008 0.05 (OR: 4.667. CI: 1.570 – 13.874). For attitudes, there is a relationship between attitudes towards consumption of vegetables and fruit in school children. P value 0.004 0.05 (OR : 6.500, CI : 2.049 – 20.619) From the results of this study, consumption of vegetables and fruit in children is still lacking. Consumption of vegetables and fruit can be increased through the role of parents and teachers in schools so as to reduce the problem of malnutrition. In addition, facilities and infrastructure in schools can also support children to be able to consume enough vegetables and fruit every day.Keywords: Knowledge and attitudes of school-age children; consumption of vegetables and fruit for school-age children.

We created the APOGEE-GALEX-Gaia catalog to study white dwarf (WD) binaries. This database aims to create a minimally biased sample of WD binary systems identified from a combination of GALEX, Gaia, and APOGEE data to increase the number of WD binaries with orbital parameters and chemical compositions. We identify 3414 sources as WD binary candidates, with nondegenerate companions of spectral types between F and M, including main-sequence stars, main-sequence binaries, subgiants, sub-subgiants, red giants, and red clump stars. Among our findings are (a) a total of 1806 systems having inferred WD radii R < 25 R
⊕, which constitute a more reliable group of WD binary candidates within the main sample; (b) a difference in the metallicity distribution function between WD binary candidates and the control sample of most luminous giants (M

H
< −3.0); (c) the existence of a population of sub-subgiants with WD companions; (d) evidence for shorter periods in binaries that contain WDs compared to those that do not, as shown by the cumulative distributions of APOGEE radial velocity shifts; (e) evidence for systemic orbital evolution in a sample of 252 WD binaries with orbital periods, based on differences in the period distribution between systems with red clump, main-sequence binary, and sub-subgiant companions and systems with main-sequence or red giant companions; and (f) evidence for chemical enrichment during common envelope (CE) evolution, shown by lower metallicities in wide WD binary candidates (P > 100 days) compared to post-CE (P < 100 days) WD binary candidates.

We report the discovery of substellar objects in the young star cluster IC 348 and the neighboring Barnard 5 dark cloud, both at the eastern end of the Perseus star-forming complex. The substellar candidates are selected using narrowband imaging, i.e., on and off photometric technique with a filter centered around the water absorption feature at 1.45 μm, a technique proven to be efficient in detecting water-bearing substellar objects. Our spectroscopic observations confirm three brown dwarfs in IC 348. In addition, the source WBIS 03492858+3258064, reported in this work, is the first confirmed brown dwarf discovered toward Barnard 5. Together with the young stellar population selected via near- and mid-infrared colors using the Two Micron All Sky Survey and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, we diagnose the relation between stellar versus substellar objects with the associated molecular clouds. Analyzed by Gaia EDR3 parallaxes and kinematics of the cloud members across the Perseus region, we propose the star formation scenario of the complex under influence of the nearby OB association.
Constraints on the Spindown of Fully Convective M Dwarfs Using Wide Field Binaries
Authors: Pass Emily K. , Charbonneau David , Irwin Jonathan M. , Winters Jennifer G.
Published: September 2022

M dwarfs remain active over longer timescales than their Sunlike counterparts, with potentially devastating implications for the atmospheres of their planets. However, the age at which fully convective M dwarfs transition from active and rapidly rotating to quiescent and slowly rotating is poorly understood, as these stars remain rapidly rotating in the oldest clusters that are near enough for a large sample of low-mass M dwarfs to be studied. To constrain the spindown of these low-mass stars, we measure photometric rotation periods for field M dwarfs in wide binary systems, primarily using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and MEarth. Our analysis includes M–M pairs, which are coeval but of unknown age, as well as M dwarfs with white dwarf or Sunlike primaries, for which we can estimate ages using techniques like white-dwarf cooling curves, gyrochronology, and lithium abundance. We find that the epoch of spindown is strongly dependent on mass. Fully convective M dwarfs initially spin down slowly, with the population of 0.2–0.3 M
⊙ rapid rotators evolving from P
rot < 2 days at 600 Myr to 2 < P
rot < 10 days at 1–3 Gyr before rapidly spinning down to long rotation periods at older ages. However, we also identify some variability in the spindown of fully convective M dwarfs, with a small number of stars having substantially spun down by 600 Myr. These observations are consistent with models of magnetic morphology-driven spindown, where angular momentum loss is initially inefficient until changes in the magnetic field allow spindown to progress rapidly.
A Systematic Study of the Short-term X-Ray Variability of Seyfert Galaxies. I. Diversity of the X-Ray rms Spectra
Authors: Hu Jingwei , Jin Chichuan , Cheng Huaqing , Yuan Weimin
Published: September 2022

The X-ray variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) carries crucial information about the X-ray radiation mechanism. We performed a systematic study of the X-ray short-term (1–100 ks timescale) variability for a large sample of 78 Seyferts with 426 deep XMM-Newton observations. In this paper, we present the time-averaged spectra and rms spectra for the entire sample, which show a variety of properties. Based on the spectral shape, we divide the rms spectra into five subtypes and the time-averaged spectra into four subtypes. The most common shape of the rms spectra is concave-down where the rms peaks at ∼1 keV. We find that different sources can show similar time-averaged spectra and rms spectra. However, there is no one-to-one mapping between the subtypes of the time-averaged spectra and rms spectra, as similar time-averaged spectra can be accompanied by different rms spectra, and vice versa. This is likely because different physical mechanisms can produce similar rms spectra. For every subtype of the time-averaged spectra, we report its preferred subtypes of the rms spectra in both low- and high-frequency bands. We also compare the statistical properties for different subtypes, such as the black hole mass and Eddington ratio. Finally, we investigate the rms in the Fe Kα line regime and find that those with a broad and extended red-wing profile tend to show stronger variability than those showing a narrow or relatively symmetric profile. Our results demonstrate the necessity of performing joint spectral and variability modeling in order to understand the mechanism of the X-ray emission in AGN. All of the rms spectra have been made publicly available.
Radio Spectra of SN 2020oi: Effects of Radiative Cooling on the Deduced Source Properties
Authors: Björnsson C.-I.
Published: September 2022

Observations of radiative cooling in a synchrotron source offer a possibility to further constrain its properties. Inverse Compton cooling is indicated in the radio spectra during the early phases of SN 2020oi. It is shown that contrary to previous claims, observations are consistent with equipartition between relativistic electrons and magnetic field as well as a constant mass-loss rate of the progenitor star prior to the supernova explosion. The reason for this difference is the need to include cooling directly in the fitting procedure rather than estimating its effects afterward. It is emphasized that the inferred properties of the supernova ejecta are sensitive to the time evolution of the synchrotron self-absorption frequency; hence, great care should be taken when modeling spectra for which cooling and/or inhomogeneities are indicated. Furthermore, it is noted that the energies of the relativistic electrons in the radio emission regions in supernovae are likely too low for first-order Fermi acceleration to be effective.

band of buffer-gas-cooled CaOH. In total, 40 transitions out of the low-J states were assigned, including 27 transitions that have not been reported in previous literature. The determined rotational constants for both ground and excited states are in excellent agreement with previous literature, and the measurement uncertainty for the absolute transition frequencies was improved by more than a factor of 3. This will aid future interstellar, circumstellar, and atmospheric identifications of CaOH. The buffer-gas-cooling method employed here is a particularly powerful method to probe low-J transitions and is easily applicable to other astrophysical molecules.

We study the motion of test particles in the gravitational field of a Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by a spherical dark matter cloud with nonzero tangential pressure, and compute the luminosity of the accretion disk. The presence of nonvanishing tangential pressure allows us to mimic the dark matter’s angular momentum, while still considering a static model, which simplifies the mathematical framework. We compare the numerical results of the influence of dark matter on the luminosity of the accretion disks around static supermassive black holes with the previously studied cases of isotropic and anisotropic pressures. We show that the flux and luminosity of the accretion disk in the presence of dark matter are different from the case of a Schwarzschild black hole in a vacuum, and highlight the impact of the presence of tangential pressures.

BACKGROUND: In today’s digital era, the development of technology and information is so fast not only in the world of medicine and medical equipment but also in the model of health services so that many e-services are found, such as Alodokter and Halodoc. As well Internet of Things (IoT)-based technology IoT makes the method that can be used for remote services easy to reach and low cost, this is very significant in helping home care services in the elderly.

AIM: The goal of this research is to develop the design of telehealthcare based on IoT, especially the vital signs of monitoring for the early detection of diseases in the elderly through health-care services.

METHODS: This type of research is experimental with the design of equipment design using IoT based with parameters of a biomedical temperature sensor, heart rate, and SpO2 sensor for monitoring health elderly integrated into smartphone applications through programming Arduino ESP 32 microcontroller as a transmitter.

RESULTS: The results of this study consist of two stages, including first determining the accuracy value of biomedical sensor data results by measuring the error factor, namely, for beats per minute sensor, data have a deviation error of 1.6 and SpO2 deviation error of 0.25 and temperature deviation error of 0.16 with a confidence level of 0.05% and second comparing parameter values to standard values using t-test tests with p > 0.05 results means that there is no significant difference between parameter values and standard values.

CONCLUSION: The results of this study can be concluded that the physiological parameters, such as spo2, bpm and body temperature can be used for health monitoring in the elderly, and it is hoped that the results of this research design can be used for early detection of the elderly for routine health checks using a smartphone application.
Increasing the Prediction Power of Preterm Labor using Interleukin 6 and Fetal Fibronectin as Alarming Signals in Symptomatic Patients
Authors: Hussain Amal Abdul Muhsen , Sharif Yasamin Hamza
Published: September 2022

Background: Giving birth at preterm is considered as a bothering problem to both healthcare systems and pregnant women around the world, causing alarming levels of mortality. To avoid this issue, certain biological markers can be employed for early detection to predict the occurrence of the PTD (PTD) ahead of time for giving better medical care to the pregnant women who at risk of PTD.
Objective: The current study was performed to evaluate the power of using interleukin-6 (IL-6) and fetal fibronectin (fFN) present in the cervicovaginal fluid (CVF) as predictors of the symptomatic PTD patients.
Patients & Methods: In this study, 91 pregnant hospital attendees (24-34 weeks; 18-45 years old) with suggested PTD symptoms, such as abdominal pain and uterine contraction and with cervical length of less than 25mm, were participated. To detect IL-6 and fFN, vaginal swabs were collected for performing an ELISA test to later follow up with the patients within 48hrs, seven days, and 14 days from the first day of admission to the hospital.
 Results: No significant association between PTD with patients age, parity, BMI, and gestational age, but significant association with previous history of PTD. There was significant association between PTD and increase the level of CVF fFN and IL-6 with best cut-off value for CVF fFN is(>45ng/ml) with (95%CI of 0.763-0.918) and accuracy of 85.2% with a sensitivity of 73.1% and specificity of 95.6% which is of high significant value (P≤0.01).While CVF of IL-6 (>231pg/ml) with (95% CI of 0.630- 0.820), with accuracy of 73.3%,  sensitivity of 50% and specificity of 96.9% which was statistically significant finding (P≤0.01).The predictive value of combined fFN and IL-6  in women at risk  of preterm labor was 84.6% with sensitivity 84.6%,specificity 92.3%, positive predictive value (PPV) 81.5%, negative predictive value (PPV) 93.8% and accuracy of 90.1%.
Conclusion:  Each of fFN or IL-6 located in the CVF may provide a strong predictor of PTD; however, this prediction capability may provide an even stronger signal of detecting PTD ahead of time if both biomarkers requested at the same time.

A new climbing species, Ficus motuoensis Zhen Zhang & Hong Qing Li in Moraceae from southwest China has been described and illustrated in this paper. The new species resembles F. disticha, F. diversiformis and F. hederacea, but differs from these in the medium-sized acrophylls, shorter peduncle, as well as larger and spotted syconium. According to the morphological traits and phylogenetic placement, the new species belongs to Ficus subg. Synoecia sect. Apiosycea. Besides, the new species deviates from the common distribution pattern compared to the other members of sect. Apiosycea, indicating that it could be very useful for exploring the biogeography of sect. Apiosycea.

Published: September 2022

Perineural (Tarlov) cysts are a common benign pathology in the lumbosacral area but are rarely symptomatic, even when compressing the spinal root. Despite the rarity of Tarlov cyst formation in the foramen of the spine, this type is more symptomatic than those in other sites due to the narrow space. We introduce a biportal endoscopic fenestration for symptomatic foraminal Tarlov cysts. We present the case of a 40-year-old woman experiencing radiating pain in her right lower leg for 4 years. On seeking treatment, her great toe and ankle plantar flexion power had decreased. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass located in the L5-S1 intervertebral foramen that compressed the lumbar nerve root. Partial laminotomy was performed using a percutaneous biportal endoscopic system with a far lateral approach. An oval cystic mass of 2.6×1.1 cm was identified on high-definition images. Partial bone and foraminal ligament removal and cystic membrane fenestration were performed for nerve decompression. After decompression, the patient's motor weakness and radiating pain improved. Due to high-definition images and the minimally invasive laminotomy procedures associated with percutaneous biportal endoscopic fenestration, a foraminal Tarlov cyst was fenestrated safely, and weakness arising from radiculopathy was resolved in the current case.
