In early 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic suddenly broke out across the world and spread rapidly. Global public health and social systems are collapsing due to the spread of coronavirus. Many cities are experiencing shortages of medical resources, with even intensive care units being overwhelmed. The implementation of stringent epidemic prevention measures, the closure of educational institutions, and the suspension of non-essential production and commercial activities have had a profound impact on the daily lives and work activities of individuals, and have precipitated a global economic crisis. The global influence of the COVID- 19 pandemic extends beyond the economies to encompass a multitude of other domains, including the lives and health of individuals. In addition to the direct physical harm and health risks to the body, the widespread spread of the virus and the lockdown measures implemented to contain it also impact people's mental health. This study employs a qualitative research approach to analyse the extensive literature and data from the questionnaire survey conducted by Yingfei Zhang etc. The objective of it was to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on mental health. It investigates and analyses common elements related to mental distress during epidemic, including age, gender and education level, to gain insights into the correlation between these factors and people's psychological health status and the psychological influence of the epidemic. Studies have shown that the COVID-19 epidemic not only brings anxiety and depression to people, but also causes great stress, and those who are psychologically vulnerable have even developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The main factors affecting people's mental health disturbed by COVID-19 are age and education level, while gender differences have relatively little effect on it. In order to better address this issue, it is recommended that the government increase investment in mental health and strengthen mental health education to help people learn how to cope with stress and anxiety, and to help those affected by the pandemic to get out of their psychological difficulties as soon as possible.

Carolina Josefa Leopoldina era filha de Maria Teresa de Nápoles-Sicília e Francisco I, Imperador da Áustria. Sua família era reconhecida como uma das mais conservadoras e poderosas da Europa. Ao fazer parte da coligação que derrotou Napoleão Bonaparte (1815), o pai de Leopoldina se tornou o líder da Santa Aliança, uma congregação militar cujo objetivo era coibir movimentos subversivos influenciados pelo liberalismo. Casada com D. Pedro, desde 1817, Leopoldina presenciaria as consequências da Revolução Liberal do Porto (1820) no Brasil, onde diversas províncias manifestaram apoio ao movimento que trazia consigo valores liberais. Entender como essa jovem nobre trafegou por esse momento permite acessar especificidades do seu pensamento político e sua influência no desencadear dos fatos que conduziria o Brasil à sua separação de Portugal.

This research aims to examine the authority and role of State Prosecutors in providing non-litigation legal assistance in civil cases, with a case study conducted at the High Prosecutor's Office in Yogyakarta Special Region. The study explores the application of legal rules and analyzes the implementation of legal assistance provided by the Prosecutor's Office in cases of defaulted loans faced by PT. Permodalan Nasional Madani (Persero), a state-owned financial institution supporting SMEs, using both normative and empirical approaches. Primary legal materials such as various related laws and secondary legal materials from journal articles and literature were utilized. The research findings indicate that State Prosecutors significantly influence the provision of non-litigation legal assistance, yet encounter several obstacles. External obstacles include debtors' lack of awareness of their obligations and minimal requests for legal assistance from government agencies, state-owned enterprises, and regional-owned enterprises (BUMD). Meanwhile, internal obstacles primarily relate to budget limitations that hinder the efficiency and effectiveness of handling civil cases. The case highlighted in this study involves the collection of a working capital loan amounting to IDR 45 million provided by PT. PNM Branch Yogyakarta to a debtor who failed to repay. Through case analysis, it was found that State Prosecutors undertook a series of steps from receiving requests for legal assistance, collecting data and evidence, to negotiating and resolving the issue. In this case, negotiations successfully recovered state finances with the debtor settling outstanding debts amounting to IDR 27,925,995. This research underscores the role of State Prosecutors in providing non-litigation legal assistance and emphasizes the need for increased understanding and budget allocation to optimize the resolution of non-litigation civil cases.

Consumer protection is a form of protection based on law created to protect consumers and fulfill consumer rights. This research aims to implement it for consumers who feel disadvantaged and how to resolve disputes between consumers and business actors. In this research there is a normative empirical method. The results of this research state that there are losses experienced by consumers from the use of goods/or services from business actors, ultimately resulting in disputes between the two parties. Therefore, consumers do not get their rights as consumers and business actors do not carry out their business in accordance with the provisions of the applicable laws. The conclusion in this research is that even though consumers feel disadvantaged by business actors, they still get their rights as consumers. Business actors fulfill their obligations as business actors who are responsible for actions that harm consumers. Consumer protection in this case is very important to ensure justice and legal certainty for every consumer.

This article focuses on the criminal liability of beneficial owners for crimes in the natural resources sector. By using legal research methods, through statutory and conceptual approaches, there are three discussions in this article, first is that a BO can be directly included in the structure of the corporation cannot directly have a position and is only bound by only through relationships or affiliations. Second, the concept of criminal liability for BOs in Indonesia has not yet been formulated with certainty, so it cannot create a sense of obligation for BOs. And, ideal forms of accountability are collaboration between the theories of strict liability and direct corporate criminal liability. Corporations in their accountability don’t abdicate responsibility from management who commit criminal acts. Linked to BO as a corporate controller outside the structure, they can also be held accountable accordance to corporate responsibility paradigm changes in the 2023 Criminal Code.

Published: July 2024

The circulation of alcoholic beverages requires licensing, as regulated in the following regulations: Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 74 of 2013 on the Control and Supervision of Alcoholic Beverages, and the Minister of Trade Regulation Number 20/M-DAG/PER/4/2014 on the Control and Supervision of Procurement, Distribution, and Sale of Alcoholic Beverages (hereinafter abbreviated as Minister of Trade Regulation No. 20/M-DAG/PER/4/2014) along with the amendments made by the Ministry of Trade. This study uses normative legal research because in addressing the formulated problems, it is clear that the research prioritizes literature or secondary data. Normative legal research emphasizes secondary data, including regulations and legal theories, while also examining the legal norms prevailing in society, leading to the discovery of legal principles in the form of dogma or legal doctrine that are scientifically theoretical and can be used to analyze the discussed issues. The regulation of alcoholic beverage sales is normatively adequate in the implementation of control over the sale of alcoholic beverages. According to the prevailing laws and regulations, the sale of alcoholic beverages is only permitted in certain places such as bars, discotheques, 3 to 5-star hotels, and locations that are not adjacent to places of worship, government offices, and hospitals. However, in reality, the practice of selling alcoholic beverages in the city of Medan still occurs in places that do not comply with the regulations, such as shops and wholesalers, resulting in legal uncertainty.

The Effects of Noise Pollution on the Prevalence of Hearing Loss on Workers in Select Industries in Nnewi, Anambra State
Authors: O. G Ogbo , V. C Nnodu , D. C Onuoha
Published: July 2024

The rapid industrialization in Nnewi, Anambra State, has raised significant environmental concerns, particularly noise pollution, which poses severe health risks to industrial workers. This study investigates noise pollution levels and the prevalence of hearing loss among workers in three major industries in Nnewi. Employing a cross-sectional design, the study uses clinical diagnostic approaches and survey methodologies to assess 71 workers with over five years of exposure to industrial noise. Ambient noise was measured with a sound level meter, hearing acuity was assessed through the Rinne and Weber tests, and structured questionnaires were used to collect demographic data, noise exposure details, and PPE usage. Findings reveal that Industries A and B have noise levels averaging 96 dB, significantly higher than Industry C’s 90 dB. PPE usage was inconsistent, with Industry B showing the highest compliance. Despite the high noise levels, only one respondent showed signs of hearing loss. This low incidence is attributed to intermittent noise exposure and the practice of taking regular breaks. The study underscores the need for enhanced regulatory enforcement, modernization of industrial equipment, improved PPE usage, and comprehensive noise management plans to mitigate health risks associated with industrial noise exposure.

Published: July 2024

Integrating renewable energy sources and distributed energy resources (DERs) in the Malaysian low voltage distribution network has introduced voltage stability challenges, particularly voltage rises, leading to detrimental impacts on network performance. This paper presents a novel reactive power control strategy for addressing these challenges. Unlike conventional methods with fixed reactive power references, the proposed technique dynamically adjusts the reactive power reference in real time, considering voltage and active power injection. It calculates the rate of change in reactive power reference (ΔQ) per second by analyzing Volt-VAR and Watt-VAR components and updates the reference accordingly. Simulations conducted on a low voltage distribution network in Taman Impian Putra, Malaysia, showcase the adverse effects of high photovoltaic (PV) penetration on voltage stability and highlight the success of the proposed strategy in mitigating voltage rise. The technique effectively reduces average voltage, maintains voltage regulation during high sun irradiance and low load demand periods, and surpasses the adaptability of existing methods dependent on PV active injection or network voltage alone. The proposed strategy ensures accurate control and efficiently addresses dynamic network changes by accounting for both PV active power injection and network voltage. This approach offers enhanced voltage regulation, adaptability to varying network conditions, and reduced losses, making it a promising solution for mitigating voltage rise in the Malaysian low voltage distribution network. The simulations, validated using MATLAB Simulation and OpenDSS, confirm the strategy’s efficacy and potential for real-world implementation.

Published: July 2024

The quality of used cooking oil can be improved by purifying it using bagasse activated charcoal. Purified used cooking oil can be used as raw material for soap. Use of soap can cause allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Skin suffering from ACD is characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration of the skin, the inflammatory cells involved are mast cells, macrophages and polymorphonuclear cells (PMN), namely basophils, eosinophils and neutrophils. Therefore, inflammatory cells were chosen as a parameter for the ACD response to the use of used cooking oil liquid soap containing betel and aloe vera. Liquid soap formed was use an extract concentration of 4.5, 9 and 15 %. Skin sensitivity testing was tested on male Wistar rats aged 2 - 3 months for 14 days. Quantitative data was obtained through histopathological examination of the number of inflammatory cells, which were analyzed statistically. The results showed that the use of liquid soap with an extract concentration of 9 % (4.24 ± 0.74) and 15 % (3.96 ± 0.25) had no effect on basophil infiltration. The use of liquid soap with an extract concentration of 4.5 % (2.96 ± 1.17, 6.42 ± 0.86, 5.96 ± 0.38), 9 % (3.12 ± 0.47, 4.62 ± 0.68, 6.42 ± 1.06) and 15 % (3.36 ± 0.41, 5.08 ± 0.30, 6.44 ± 0.55) had no effect on infiltration of neutrophils, eosinophils and macrophages. The use of liquid soap with an extract concentration of 9 % (4.60 ± 0.86) had no effect on mast cell infiltration. Therefore, it can be concluded that the best concentration of 9 % extract betel and aloe vera showed no infiltration of inflammatory cells in rats’ skin given soap from waste cooking oil. Thus, that the soap formed from waste cooking oil treated with bagasse activated charcoal and contain betel and aloe vera is predicted safe to used.

Otitis externa (OE), a fungal infection of the external auditory canal, often involving Aspergillus niger, can lead to OE externa, posing severe health risks. Establishing an animal model of OE induced by Aspergillus niger, this study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Nigella sativa (NS) extract, specifically its effect on inflammation and antioxidant activity in this OE animal model. The detection of Aspergillus niger on the 3rd day post-induction confirmed its thriving presence within the ear canal. NS extract, containing thymoquinone, significantly reduced the expression of IL-1B and TNF-a proteins. Notably, NS extract at 5 and 10 % showed comparable effects, surpassing the efficacy of topical miconazole. Evaluation of MDA protein expression, indicative of oxidative damage, revealed a significant decrease with NS extract treatment, especially at 5 % dosage. NS extract exhibited a notable decrease in subunit p50 and p65 proteins expression, particularly at the 5 % concentration. In conclusion, NS extract displayed promising anti-inflammatory effects on Aspergillus niger-induced otitis externa by modulating various inflammatory markers and pathways. These findings highlight the potential therapeutic role of NS extract in addressing inflammation associated with OE.

Children’s geographies is a relatively young sub-discipline of human geography, dating back to the 1990s. Drawing attention to the marginal consideration given to children in geographic research in the past, as well as other problems that scientific studies of the time overlooked or struggled with, it was possible to formulate a set of basic assumptions that continue to guide those studying children’s geographies today. The subdiscipline is constantly gaining popularity among researchers from around the world. We are currently witnessing its unprecedented flourishing. This article attempts to achieve two goals. Firstly, the characterization of children’s geographies based on a review of the literature. It includes basic information about this subdiscipline, such as a description of its origins, main assumptions and scope of research, an explanation of key terms, a characterization of the location of children’s geographies in the structure of scientific and geographic knowledge, as well as outlining the main problems and challenges within this subdiscipline. Secondly, the identification of the undertaken research issues within the framework of children’s geographies based on bibliometric data – indicating the most popular issues undertaken in research, identifying the popularity of the subdiscipline, as well as recognizing the leading centers and researchers working on children’s geographies. This work is intended to be a comprehensive coverage of the issues of this subdiscipline for those interested in gaining basic information on child geographies and conducting research in this area.

Co-construire une éducation à la citoyenneté en contexte interculturel
Authors: Lucy Marie
Published: July 2024

Cet article présente les données ethnographiques d’une enquête menée auprès de lycéen-nes en région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. Le projet Affirmatif, dont les résultats quantitatifs sont également présentés dans ce numéro, concerne le rapport des lycéen-nes à la citoyenneté. Cette question, sensible dans les classes et les établissements, est parfois sources de difficultés pour les enseignant-es et les équipes éducatives (Chauvigné & Fabre, 2021). Pourtant, l’enquête a suscité l’intérêt des établissements, l’adhésion des enseignant-es, l’implication des élèves. La recherche, sans céder aux contraintes scientifiques, peut-elle s’intégrer aux établissements, soutenir les enseignant-es pour aborder des questions sensibles et proposer des solutions ? L’immersion sur le terrain a permis de constituer des carnets ethnographiques et d’aller vers une réciprocité de l’échange (Bensa, 2008), elle a ouvert des perspectives pour un nouveau projet basé sur une pratique participative de la recherche (Bednarz, et al., 2015 ; Morissette, 2015 ; Roy, 2021) dont l’objectif est de co-construire une éducation à la citoyenneté en contexte interculturel, sur un territoire marqué par la diversité et de fortes disparités sociales.

Published: July 2024

Star coloring of an undirected graph G is a proper vertex coloring such that any path of length 3 in G is not bicolored and the notion of star chromatic number implies the minimum number of colors needed to star coloring of G. In this paper, we explore the concept of star coloring, star chromatic number, and a powerful probabilistic lemma known as the Lovasz Local Lemma and establish an improved upper bound for the star chromatic number, which is ⌈6d^(3/2)⌉ where d is the maximum degree of the graph.

Adolescent career maturity has an important role in achieving their goals. Teenagers who have a good career understanding can help determine their career choices. Career understanding is obtained by understanding themselves and looking for various information that is used to support career alternatives. This research was conducted at Kartika Padang High School. This research aims to increase the career maturity of teenagers using information services with a muhasabah approach. The research method used was an experiment in the form of a one group pre-test post-test design. The population was 355 people and the sample was 33 people. The instrument for this research is the Adolescent Career Maturity Scale which is proposed using a Likert scale measurement. The data is analyzed using descriptive statistics with the help of SPSS version 25.00. The research results showed that the career maturity of teenagers before being given treatment was in the low category, while after being given treatment was in the high category. There was an increase in teenagers' career maturity before and after being treated with information services using a muhasabah approach. Thus, information services with a muhasabah approach can facilitate optimal youth development to increase youth career maturity. This is evidenced by the increasing planning, exploration and realization of teenagers' career decisions in the future.

Digital Twin Technology (DTT) is an emerging innovation poised to revolutionize the management and optimization of renewable energy microgrids. A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical system, integrating real-time data, simulations, and machine learning to provide a dynamic, interactive model of the actual environment. In the context of renewable energy microgrids, DTT offers significant benefits in efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. Renewable energy microgrids, which include solar panels, wind turbines, and energy storage systems, are complex networks that require precise management to balance supply and demand, maximize energy efficiency, and ensure stability. By creating a digital twin of these microgrids, operators can monitor real-time performance, predict potential failures, and optimize operations. This virtual model enables predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and extending the lifespan of equipment by identifying issues before they lead to critical failures. Furthermore, DTT facilitates advanced energy management strategies. Through simulations, it can evaluate various scenarios, such as fluctuating energy demands, changing weather conditions, and equipment performance variations. These simulations help in designing robust control strategies and improving the integration of renewable energy sources, leading to better energy storage utilization and reduced reliance on fossil fuels. Another critical advantage is the enhancement of grid resilience. Digital twins can simulate the impact of extreme weather events and other disruptions, allowing operators to develop and test contingency plans in a risk-free environment. This capability is vital for ensuring continuous energy supply and mitigating the effects of unexpected outages. Digital Twin Technology offers a transformative approach to managing renewable energy microgrids. By providing a comprehensive, real-time virtual model, DTT enhances operational efficiency, predictive maintenance, energy management, and grid resilience. As the renewable energy sector continues to grow, the integration of digital twins will be instrumental in optimizing the performance and sustainability of microgrid systems.

The invasion of Corona Virus Infection Disease in 2019 [COVID-19] has resulted in diverse effects around the world. Efforts have been undertaken to prevent COVID-19, including creating awareness about its prevalence and promoting the adoption of relevant preventive measures. However, the decision to adopt COVID-19 preventive measures is still low among small-scale farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Tanzania. Reducing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic requires knowledge of both the drivers of awareness about the pandemic and adopting preventive measures. Thus, this study using probit models examines the determinants of both awareness about COVID-19 and adoption of COVID-19 preventive measures among small-scale rice farmers in Morgoro, Tanzania. A structured questionnaire was administered to about 200 randomly selected small-scale rice farmers. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between sex (male), education level, and information source (internet), as well as a negative relationship between household size and awareness of COVID-19. Also, we find the drivers for adopting the COVID-19 preventive measures to be age, sex (male), education level, and information from television. While access to smartphones and information from Doctors were found to be negatively associated with adoption, the study places emphasis on the role of methods of providing information, such as television and the internet, in preventing the COVID-19 pandemic.

Culture of an organisation is a crucial factor, which determines how disputes are resolved within organisations. There is however a dearth of studies conducted on how specific aspects of organisational culture influence effectiveness of dispute resolution mechanisms. In light of the foregoing, this study was carried out to empirically examine how organisational culture affects dispute resolution in a few tertiary institutions in Ogun State. A survey approach was used in this study to reach this goal. Academic workers from a few higher schools in Ogun State, including Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, D. S. Adegbenro Polytechnic, and Ogun State Institute of Technology, make up the population. Using the Yamane sample determination formula, a sample size of 283 was determined from a population of 970 people. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire as the instrument. Using SPSS version 23, multiple regression analysis was used to examine the acquired data. The analysis of the data showed that in the chosen institutions, leadership orientation, organisational policies, and organisational values significantly affect dispute resolution. The study draws the conclusion that organisational culture significantly affects dispute resolution in the chosen tertiary institutions based on the findings. The study made several recommendations, one of which was that HR professionals constantly teach managers and staff within their businesses on effective leadership and followership orientation in order to improve the effectiveness of conflict resolution.

Introduction: A healthy lifestyle influences hypertension control. However, studies investigating the effects of lifestyle on hypertension remain elusive. This study aimed to analyse the association between lifestyle factors and hypertension control among patients with hypertension.
Methods: This cross-sectional exploratory study was conducted from June to December 2022 among 265 patients with hypertension from the Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat. The status of hypertension control was assessed by checking the serial blood pressure. The physical activity (PA) level, sleep quality, stress level and eating pattern were measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire; Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21; and 24-Hour Food Recall Questionnaire, Adolescent Food Habits Checklist and Emotional Eating Scale, respectively. Stepwise binary logistic regression and a generalised linear model were used for the statistical analysis.
Results: Approximately 72.2% of the participants had uncontrolled hypertension. The majority showed a low PA level (46%), normal stress level (94.7%), good sleep quality (80%), low caloric intake (95.5%), neutral food habit (55.5%) and low emotional eating (93.2%). Sex (P=0.030), age (P=0.018), PA level (P=0.011), sleep quality (P=0.032) and stress level (P=0.030) significantly influenced hypertension control. Specifically, moderate (odds ratio [OR]=5.868, 95% confidence interval [CI]=3.024–11.798, P=0.000) and vigorous PA levels (OR=2.188, 95% CI=1.026–4.678, P=0.042) were significantly associated with hypertension control.
Conclusion: Moderate and vigorous PA levels are lifestyle factors that may play a role in controlling hypertension.

In an age of increased globalization and fierce market competition, the influence of business strategies on organizational performance is a critical topic. This research examined the influence of business strategies on the organizational performance of selected telecommunications films in Kenya. The specific objective is to determine the influence of business monitoring strategies on the organizational performance of selected telecommunications firms in Kenya. A researcher gives stewardship theory a look in a literature review. The target population consisted of 1015 employees from Jamii Telecommunications Limited, Liquid Telecom Kenya Ltd., and Wananchi Group Kenya Ltd. The sample size of 286 was taken during the process, and to determine the process, the Yamane (1967) formula was used. The research employed stratified random sampling. A descriptive research design was employed, with data being collected using questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Correlation and regression analysis were employed to analyze the connection between the dependent variable and the independent variables. Findings reveal that monitoring strategies positively and significantly influence the organizational performance of the selected telecommunications firms (β = 0.168, p = 0.000). The study concludes that selected telecom firms demonstrate a consistent approach to strategic monitoring and adjustment. Through regular monitoring strategies and reinforcing this approach, the firms demonstrate a proactive approach to staying ahead of market trends. Close monitoring of results and close monitoring of operational changes demonstrate their commitment to continuous improvement and to adapting to changing industry environments. This continuous monitoring ensures that the companies remain agile and able to take advantage of new opportunities while minimizing potential risks. It is recommended that telecommunications firms conduct periodic assessments of their strategies for progress in their plans. This would ensure the strategies remain relevant and can be adaptable in the market. A culture of continuous monitoring makes firms agile in their operations; staying ahead of their competitors and maintaining it for the long term is another issue altogether. Telecommunication firms can gain valuable insights on performance by monitoring results and operational changes to ensure improvements in performance in the market, mitigation of risks, and decision-making in resource allocation.
