Authors: Apriliyanti Rizki , Fathurrahman  , Yudha Pangestu Randy , Maulidina Saputri Rika
Published: February 2025

Jurnalisme warga telah menjadi fenomena yang memungkinkan masyarakat umum untuk turut serta dalam proses pembuatan berita. Proses pengolahan informasi dan membagikannya di media sosial oleh jurnalis warga menimbulkan sisi yang mengkhawatirkan dari jurnalistik professional. Fenomena jurnalis warga ini pada akhirnya menjalar sehingga menciptakan fenomena “Homeless Media”. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana jurnalis profesional melihat fenomena jurnalis warga sebagai homeless media dalam produksi berita lokal. Banjarmasin, Kalimantan Selatan menjadi fokus lokasi dalam artikel ini dengan metode penelitian kualitatif fenomologi. Data diambil dengan dua sumber yaitu primer dengan melakukan wawancara mendalam kepada jurnalis profesional di tiga media lokal besar yaitu Duta TV, Bpost, dan Radar Banjarmasin. Buku, jurnalis, referensi lain yang mendukung artikel ini menjadi data sekunder agar artikel ini menjadi lebih relefan dan tajam. Hasilnya,  jurnalis warga muncul karena ketidakpuasan warga akan produk jurnalistik yang dikemas oleh jurnalis profesional. Kecepatan dan kekinian menjadi alasan utama populernya konten jurnalis warga. Jurnalis profesional menganggap data yang dibuat oleh jurnalis warga menjadi konten foto dan video tersebut hanya sebagai data mentah atau data awal. Dan harapannya jurnalis warga bukan menjadi ancaman melainkan sebagai kolaborasi yang dapat menguatkan informasi dan berita yang disebarkan kepada masyarakat.

Authors:   Odesa National University of Technology, Lagodiienko Volodymyr , Basiurkina Nataliya , Savchenko Tetiana ,   Odesa National University of Technology
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the issues of investment policy and strategic monitoring of food enterprises in Ukraine. The study aims to improve the strategic monitoring process of the investment policy of food enterprises, which allows for assessing the effectiveness of investment decisions and the impact of innovative technologies on enterprise development in the context of globalization and competition. The article examines current trends in developing Ukraine’s food industry, particularly its investment support, and role in ensuring its food security. The dynamics of research expenditures in the food sector, including the food industry, are analyzed. A low level of investment in research and development has been identified as a key restraining factor in the innovative development of the industry. In particular, despite some positive changes in funding for scientific research, expenditures on research remain insignificant compared to the overall needs of the food industry. It has been determined that, under martial law, food enterprises in Ukraine operate in an unstable economic environment characterized by the instability of investment, financial, and commodity markets. The study identified the main challenges faced by enterprises in implementing investment strategies. The study substantiates the role of strategic monitoring as an effective tool for assessing the investment environment, which enables identifying promising development directions and adapting enterprises to changing market conditions. The study proposes the key components of the strategic monitoring process, which include analyzing the investment climate, studying investment structures, assessing the level of innovation activity, evaluating the effectiveness of state policies in stimulating investment in the food industry, and formulating recommendations for improving the investment policy of food enterprises. Implementing the proposed strategic monitoring process for investment policy will allow food enterprises to promptly identify factors limiting their development and develop specific strategies to enhance innovation activity, improve access to financial resources, optimize state support, and reduce investment barriers.

Architectural and artistic solution of the alabaster altar “The Passion of Christ” in Lviv
Authors: Chen Lesya Y.
Published: February 2025

Diverse in shape and size, construction material, compositional, constructive, and plastic solutions, altars were the main architectural and artistic highlights of church interiors. This article is devoted to the exploration of the origin history of the alabaster altar of the Passion of Christ in Lviv, analysis of its architectural, artistic, and compositional features, and determination of its artistic value. The relief alabaster altar on the theme “The Passion of Christ” was crafted by Jan Zaremba, a Lviv sculptor, in 1595, funded by Lviv patron Jan Scholz-Wolfowicz for the Chapel of the Holy Cross of the Latin Cathedral in Lviv. At present, the altar is located in the Orthodox Cathedral of the Protection of the Mother of God in Lviv. The altar is made of local alabaster, a gypsum rock with low hardness, suitable for relief decorative finishes. The Passion of Christ altar is constructed in the form of a triptych with a base, tier, and top. A feature of the altar is the organic combination of bas-reliefs and decorative carving in its architectonics, characteristic of the Renaissance period in Lviv. The plastic interpretation of the narrative scenes of the Passion of Christ in the iconographic composition of the Renaissance alabaster altar is analyzed. Sculptor Jan Zaremba was able to skillfully and confidently convey the realistic emotional state of the characters, and recreate a multi-layered space in the bas-relief narrative compositions of the Passion of Christ. He created a harmonious, complete, highly artistic work of correct proportions, built according to the laws of the golden ratio, which satisfied the spiritual and esthetic needs of the faithful. The studied altar holds high artistic and scientific value and belongs not only to the artistic heritage of Ukraine but also to the world’s cultural heritage.

Published: February 2025

Due to the demand for high reliability and thermal conductivity of high-power modules operating at high temperatures, sintered nano-silver (Ag) has garnered significant attention as an excellent interconnect and heat transfer layer, particularly for its thermal conductivity and other reliability research. Since the mechanical behavior and heat conduction capacity of sintered Ag is generally regulated by changes in temperature, its microstructure will change accordingly, affecting its performance. In this study, a machine learning model was used to evaluate and predict the thermal conductivity of sintered Ag, providing an effective method to analyze the influence of microstructural characteristics on its heat transfer properties. Image processing and model simulation of scanning electron microscopy images of sintered nano-Ag nanostructures were performed using MATLAB and Ansys software. A batch calculation of the thermal conductivity of 2D images of sintered nano-Ag nanostructures was performed to obtain sufficient data sets. Based on the artificial neural network model of Bayesian optimization, the equivalent thermal conductivity of different sintered nano-Ag microstructures was predicted with high accuracy using the microstructure image and characteristic parameters of sintered nano-Ag. The proposed method enables rapid, effective, and accurate evaluation and prediction of the thermal conductivity of sintered nano-Ag, contributing significantly to the reliability of power modules.
Coping with fibromyalgia: What we have learned from hypnosis
Authors: Benedittis Giuseppe De
Published: February 2025

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a complex, chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, often attributed to central sensitization. FMS also involves other problems such as tiredness, poor sleep, mental/emotional difficulties, and a lower quality of life (QoL). The exact causes of FMS are still unclear, but there is growing evidence that some FMS patients have a history of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse or neglect in childhood or adulthood. Abuse may act as a link between trauma and chronic pain over time, suggesting that FMS may be a physical expression of delayed trauma-related stress. FMS patients are hard to treat because most treatments do not work well for them. However, psychological treatments, especially hypnotherapy, have been shown to help change how fibromyalgia pain is perceived. There is increasing evidence that hypnotherapy alone or with standard medical treatment can help FMS patients in the long term, but not in the short term. Hypnosis can target specific symptoms such as pain, tiredness, sleep issues, anxiety, and depression, or it can focus on resolving emotional conflicts and traumas related to FMS. Regular practice at home, including self-hypnosis, and occasional follow-up sessions may help maintain the benefits of hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is a valuable adjunct therapy with an excellent safety profile for managing chronic pain and other symptoms in difficult fibromyalgia patients.

Authors: Rawi Roszalina
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the evolution and cultural significance of dikir barat in Singapore, a traditional Malay choral performance art that has become a symbol of Malay cultural identity in the region. The dikir barat, which originated from the Pattani region, is now known as a significant cultural arts practice within the Malay community in Singapore. The art form of dikir barat serves as a form of entertainment and a medium for cultural expression. Through a qualitative research approach, including in-depth interviews and video transcriptions, this study traces the historical journey of dikir barat, exploring its transformation from a traditional practice to a modern-day symbol of cultural heritage in Singapore. The research highlights dikir barat as a form of cultural capital, symbolizing the collective memory, social norms, and intrinsic values of the Singapore Malay community. This paper also examines the adaptation of the art form to contemporary contexts, incorporating modern elements while preserving its traditional essence. This adaptation has allowed dikir barat to remain relevant and appealing to younger generations, ensuring its continuity amidst the modernising society of Singapore. The findings underscore the crucial role of dikir barat in fostering cultural continuity, social cohesion, and a sense of identity within Singapore’s Malay community. The paper concludes by discussing the broader implications for cultural preservation, emphasizing the need for sustained efforts to maintain and promote dikir barat as a vibrant and integral part of Singapore’s Malay heritage, capable of resonating with both current and future generations.

Authors: Md Amin Farizan , Ismail Hashim , Mohd Balwi Mohd Taufik Arridzo
Published: February 2025

Dalam membincangkan konsep kepimpinan akhlak sebagai daya upaya penting dalam tradisi historiografi Melayu, kajian ini memfokuskan Syair Kisah Engku Puteri yang dikarang oleh Engku Haji Ahmad yang mengisahkan perjalanan hidup Engku Puteri Raja Hamidah, Permaisuri kepada Sultan Mahmud Riayat Syah yang jarang mendapat perhatian dalam kajian sarjana. Sebagai pemegang regalia Kerajaan Riau, Engku Puteri Raja Hamidah mencerminkan kepimpinan akhlak yang luhur dengan usahanya mempertahankan kedaulatan Kerajaan Riau daripada ancaman penjajah. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk menelusuri sejauh mana konsep kepimpinan berasaskan akhlak memainkan peranan utama dalam pembentukan watak seorang pemimpin. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan kaedah kajian kepustakaan. Analisis konsep kepimpinan akhlak dilakukan berdasarkan kerangka konsep al-Ghazali (2013) dengan merujuk beberapa peristiwa yang terkandung dalam Syair Kisah Engku Puteri. Empat aspek utama sifat kepimpinan yang berakhlak mulia tersebut terakam dengan jelas dalam Syair Kisah Engku Puteri, iaitu sifat baik yang sebati dalam jiwa, sifat semula jadi yang baik tanpa perlu membuat pertimbangan fikiran, sifat akhlak yang baik menurut al-Quran dan al-Sunnah, dan sifat yang menghindari segala perbuatan yang buruk menurut pertimbangan al-Quran dan al-Sunnah. Sehubungan dengan itu, konsep kepimpinan akhlak yang ditonjolkan dalam tradisi historiografi ini membuka ruang kepada lebih banyak kajian mengenai kemampuan dan peranan seorang pemimpin sama ada seorang Sultan atau Permaisuri dalam konteks historiografi Melayu.
Diagnostic Accuracy of Pulmonary Function Tests in Identifying Shrinking Lung Syndrome: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: M Haikal  , Fenty Anggrainy  , Masrul Basyar
Published: February 2025

Background: Shrinking lung syndrome (SLS) is a rare but significant pleuropulmonary complication of systemic autoimmune diseases, primarily systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely intervention, but often challenging due to the insidious onset and overlapping symptoms with other respiratory conditions. This meta-analysis aims to synthesize the existing evidence on the diagnostic performance of various PFT parameters in identifying SLS.
Methods: We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from January 2013 to May 2024. We included studies that reported the diagnostic accuracy of PFTs (specifically, total lung capacity [TLC], forced vital capacity [FVC], diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide [DLCO], and maximal inspiratory pressure [MIP]) in differentiating SLS from other respiratory conditions or healthy controls in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I² statistic.
Results: Nine studies, comprising a total of 685 patients with systemic autoimmune diseases (215 with SLS and 470 without SLS), were included. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of TLC ≤ 80% predicted for diagnosing SLS were 0.85 (95% CI, 0.78-0.90) and 0.72 (95% CI, 0.63-0.80), respectively. For FVC ≤ 80% predicted, the pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.78 (95% CI, 0.69-0.85) and 0.65 (95% CI, 0.55-0.74), respectively. DLCO showed lower sensitivity (0.68; 95% CI, 0.57-0.77) but higher specificity (0.80; 95% CI, 0.71-0.87). MIP demonstrated a sensitivity of 0.75 (95% CI: 0.61, 0.85) and a specificity of 0.60 (95% CI: 0.44, 0.74). Significant heterogeneity was observed across studies (I² > 50% for most analyses).
Conclusion: PFTs, particularly TLC, are valuable tools in the diagnostic workup of SLS. While TLC demonstrates good sensitivity, its moderate specificity necessitates a comprehensive evaluation, integrating clinical findings, imaging, and potentially other biomarkers.

Published: February 2025

Despite the increased focus on entrepreneurial skills teaching and learning experiences, students find it challenging to apply them effectively and independently in the real world. Most students are not fully endowed with practical experience, thus preventing the overall improvement of their entrepreneurial skills and self-confidence. This research explores the relationship between skill acquisition and entrepreneurial confidence of students at Kwara State University. This study adopted a descriptive research design, and data were collected using a closed-question structured questionnaire with a closed-ended Likert scale of five points. From a population of 250 students, 154 samples were drawn from Taro Yamane’s formula and a simple random sampling method was used to administer the questionnaires. The analysis was performed using multiple regression analysis. The findings showed that both entrepreneurial and soft skills development accounted for 69.7% of the total variation in entrepreneurial confidence (F = 188. 15, R² = 0.701). ANOVA results confirmed the model: F = 444.937, p < 0.05. The study's results reveal that entrepreneurial skills, with a regression coefficient of B = 0.134, contribute moderately to confidence. Still, the role of soft skills, B = 0.755, is even more significant. These results support the importance of considerable skill training and discover that generic skills, which have become prominent in communication, adaptability, and emotion management, significantly enhance confidence, which is central to the entrepreneurial process. The study, therefore, recommends that to improve entrepreneurial confidence, there is a need to enhance both technical and soft skills training interventions.

The Paradox of Cyber Warfare and Clausewitz’s Conception of War
Authors: Nageen Ashraf
Published: February 2025

The technological advancements of the 21st century have broadened the traditional concepts of warfare and security. This broadened notion of warfare and security contains an important element of cyberspace. Cyberspace is the virtual space created through the linkages of the internet and internet devices. Because of certain developments, cyberspace is now considered the fifth operational domain for warfare, with the other four domains being land, sea, air, and space. This new realm of confrontation has encouraged states worldwide to secure their cyberspaces and build offensive or defensive cyber warfare capabilities as per their potential. Where traditional realists argue that cyber warfare does not fit the concept of warfare (as proposed by Clausewitz), this article justifies otherwise. The study employs content analysis as a method and adopts a qualitative approach to data analysis, posing the following research question: How does cyber warfare fit Clausewitz’s conception of war? In exploring this, the research hypothesizes that an in-depth analysis of Clausewitz’s trinity -- the elements of violence, combat, and policy -- indicates that these elements are also the salient features of cyber warfare, making it a valid form of war despite its anomalies.
Pakistan’s Water Security Crisis: Challenges and the Case for Integrated Water Resource Management
Authors: Safia Mansoor
Published: February 2025

Water security has emerged as the greatest security concern for Pakistan. Despite being endowed with abundant water resources, the country is steadily heading towards a severe water crisis due to excessive exploitation and widespread mismanagement. In the past, issues pertaining to water security were largely neglected, paving the way for its transformation into an existential threat with alarming consequences for Pakistan. The combination of inadequate water availability, deteriorating water quality, rising demand, and the compounded pressures of climate change and population growth underscores the severity of this crisis. This research examines Pakistan’s critical water security challenges and explores potential future risks. The study is grounded in the theoretical framework of ‘water security’, and the methodology used is the STEEPLE Analysis to foreground multifarious key factors behind burgeoning water insecurity in Pakistan. It argues that Pakistan’s water crisis stems from a complex interplay of interconnected social, political, and economic factors, each with far-reaching implications. To address this crisis, the research advocates for the urgent and effective implementation of an Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) approach.
Pakistan-Russia Relations within the Framework of the SCO: A Regional Analysis
Authors: Hira Yaqoob  , Abeeda Qureshi
Published: February 2025

Pakistan and Russia have shared geographical proximity, but historically, this proximity did not translate into extensive cooperation due to Pakistan's alignment with the Western bloc during the Cold War and India’s strong relations with Russia. Pakistan's official membership in the Russian-cofounded Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in 2017 marked a significant development in bilateral relations. While considerable research exists on the SCO and its progress, studies focusing specifically on Pakistan-Russia relations through the SCO framework remain limited. Pakistan’s membership in the SCO coincided with important regional developments, including the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, the resurgence of regional terrorism, increased US-China competition, India’s strengthening ties with the U.S., the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the hesitancy of Western countries to engage with Russia. An analysis of Pakistan-Russia relations from 2015 to 2024, grounded in the theory of complex interdependence, indicates progress in cooperation and potential for enhanced collaboration in areas such as security, energy, and cultural exchange. Shared interests in China and the Central Asian region also highlight the possibility of increased regional cooperation through the SCO platform. However, several factors have posed challenges to furthering these relations, including tense Indo-Pak relations, India’s membership in the SCO and historical ties with Russia, perceptions of Pakistan's susceptibility to external pressures, and regional instability linked to terrorism. Addressing these challenges requires proactive engagement to fully leverage the opportunities presented by the SCO to encourage Pakistan-Russia relations and collaboration.

Evolution of Qatar’s foreign policy in Afghanistan
Authors:   Independent researcher, Uzbekistan, Rakhmatullaevich Aitov Marat
Published: February 2025

The author divided the evolution of Qatar's foreign policy in Afghanistan into four stages. The emirate purposefully increased its efforts in the Afghan track, wisely using its existing capabilities. No less importantly, Qatar took into account the shortcomings of its policy in a number of countries (Syria, Yemen, Sudan, and partly Palestine). As a result, for some time the Emirate became the center of attraction for the international community on almost all key issues related to Afghanistan.

The article also paid attention to the intricacies of diplomatic work on organizing a political office of the Taliban Movement in Doha, which became a turning point for Qatar's policy in Afghanistan.

Relevance. Flatfoot is a common orthopedic pathology in children that disrupts foot biomechanics and gait. Its highest prevalence is observed at the age of 4–7 years, requiring early diagnosis and timely correction.

Objective. To assess the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and effectiveness of treatment methods for pediatric flatfoot.

Results. Among 1,427 examined children, 12.8% were diagnosed with flatfoot, with 62.8% of cases occurring between 4 and 7 years of age. Comprehensive treatment (physical therapy, massage, physiotherapy, orthopedic devices) proved more effective (54.5% improvement) compared to traditional methods (39%). In children over 8 years old, treatment effectiveness declined.

Conclusion. Early diagnosis and a comprehensive treatment approach yield better outcomes, slowing disease progression and reducing the risk of complications.

Findings. Flatfoot is most frequently diagnosed at 4–7 years, highlighting the need for active prevention and early therapy. Comprehensive methods outperform traditional approaches, especially for moderate and severe cases.

Rhythmic beta-frequency TMS over human right parietal cortex strengthens visual size illusions
Authors: Han Xue , Wang Chao , Chen Lihong
Published: February 2025

Rhythmic brain activity has been proposed to structure visual processing. Here we investigated the causal contributions of parietal beta oscillations to context-dependent visual size perception, which is indicated by the classic Ebbinghaus and Ponzo illusions. On each trial, rhythmic transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was applied over the left or right superior parietal lobule in a train of five pulses at beta frequency (20 Hz). Immediately after the last pulse of the stimulation train, participants were presented with the illusory configuration, and performed a size-matching task. The results revealed that right parietal stimulation significantly increased the magnitudes of both size illusions relative to control vertex stimulation, whereas the illusion effects were unaffected with left parietal stimulation. Moreover, the stimulation effect was not observed with right parietal TMS at theta frequency (5 Hz). The findings clearly demonstrate the functional relevance of beta oscillations for the implementation of cognitive performance, supporting the causal contribution of parietal cortex to the processing of visual size illusions.
