Authors: Sastrodiningrat Muhammad Reva , Bisri Mohammad , Rozuli Ahmad Imron , . Surjono
Published: June 2024

This research aims to analyze the stakeholders involved in the tourism development of the Kajoetangan Kampoeng Heritage Area in Malang and to identify effective strategies to increase community participation in tourism development. The research method used is a qualitative study with a stakeholder analysis approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with various stakeholders, field observations and documentation studies. The analysis results show that there are various stakeholders involved in tourism development in this area, including local governments, NGOs, the private sector and local communities. However, community participation in decision making and implementation of tourism projects is still limited. Lack of communication and coordination between various stakeholders as well as lack of public awareness about the role and benefits of tourism are the main obstacles in increasing community participation. Based on these findings, several strategies are proposed to increase community participation, including strengthening dialogue and collaboration between various stakeholders, increasing community awareness about the importance of tourism sustainability, and building community capacity in sustainable tourism management. By implementing these strategies, it is hoped that more inclusive and sustainable tourism development can be created in the Kajoetangan Kampoeng Heritage Malang Area.

Authors: Alomari Samira Mohammed , Al-Share Safia Ali , Mohammed Sameera Taher
Published: June 2024

This research carries out an analytical research on the covenant the prophet entered with the people of Najran, Christians and the role it played in creating social security in an Islamic state where inter-religious diversity prevails.In order to gain an insight into what can be meant by religious pluralism from an Islamic perspective, the clauses of the covenant that the Prophet made with the Christians of Najran are analyzed in the study and the premises of social security embedded in this covenant are determined.The researcher has opined that Prophet’s covenant is indeed important because of the values and the concepts on which the political social contract can be drawn that outlines civil liberties and rights, justice, and equality. The study establishes how the covenant shaped the civil peace of the society where it was implemented while establishing how it gave full recognition and protection for human dignity and freedom of worship thus creating religious tolerance. Furthermore, it asserts the importance of living with others, and living at peace with the other, as grounded in principles of acknowledging the other and harmoniously coexisting with the other without nullifying the principles of Islamic law inherited from tradition. Such an approach solves the problem of diversity on an international and international level and opens up possibilities to create a civil state where none of the representatives of society and its diverse segments feels insecure and endangered and where all people have equal rights and proper treatment.Islamic law lays down the laws to live with others in the society.

Pendidikan Demokrasi Sebagai Alat Penguat Kebhinekaan Dan Toleransi Di Sekolah
Authors: Fadhila Az Zahra  , Dea Nabila
Published: June 2024

Democratic education is an important element in forming a just and inclusive society, especially in a country with high diversity like Indonesia. This research aims to explore the role of democratic education in strengthening diversity and tolerance in schools. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a focus on case studies in several junior high schools in Indonesia. The research results show that although democracy education has been integrated into the curriculum through Citizenship Education (PKN) subjects, its implementation is often still theoretical and does not facilitate active student participation. The main challenges in implementing democratic education include limited resources, lack of training for teachers, and school environments that are not yet fully inclusive. However, there are several positive initiatives that have succeeded in integrating democratic education in an innovative way, such as election-like class president elections, debate programs, and community service projects. Effective democratic education can increase tolerance, leadership skills, critical thinking abilities, and students' awareness of the importance of participation in democratic life. To increase the effectiveness of democratic education, more intensive training for teachers, a more practical and participatory curriculum, and an inclusive school environment are needed. In this way, it is hoped that democratic education can form a young generation that is more inclusive, tolerant and ready to actively participate in democratic life in Indonesia.
Age-related changes in the cerebral hemispheres of male and female brains: A morphometric study using magnetic resonance imaging scans
Authors: Maryenko Nataliia
Published: June 2024

​Understanding the differences in brain ageing between males and females and the varying sensitivity of morphometric parameters to ageing are crucial for developing algorithms and protocols for objective and quantitative brain morphology evaluation in clinical practice. This study aimed to determine simple and applicable morphometric parameters for quantifying cerebral atrophic changes associated with ageing and to identify specific characteristics of these changes in ageing male and female brains. Two-dimensional magnetic resonance brain images from 100 participants without confirmed pathology of the nervous system, aged 18 to 86 years, were examined. The sample comprised 44 males and 56 females. Each participant underwent an assessment of five sections: four in the frontal plane (coronal sections) and one in the horizontal plane (axial section). The assessment involved the determination of perimeter and area values. Two measurement approaches were employed: one focusing solely on the visible surface of the cerebral hemispheres, and the other tracing the pial surface within the sulci. Derived indices, including perimeter-to-area ratios, shape factors, and ratios of perimeters and areas, were computed based on the acquired data. The study revealed more pronounced changes in absolute cross-sectional area values corresponding to overall brain tissue with ageing in males. However, no significant sex difference was observed in the age dynamics of relative values. The ratio of two cross-sectional brain areas, considering sulcal content and excluding it, has been identified as the most sensitive parameter to age-related changes in both male and female brains. This ratio could serve as an additional morphometric parameter for diagnostic purposes in examining cerebral structure

This Leaks in oil and gas pipes under the sea will cause pollution and threaten the ecosystem in the sea. Damage to underwater pipes caused by anchors has quite a large percentage, therefore good prevention efforts are needed so that leaks do not occur which have a negative impact on environment and economy. The aim of this research is to find out how the strength compares between pipes that use protective concrete mattresses and pipes without protective concrete mattresses when hit by ship anchors. This research uses explicit dynamic simulation using Finite Element Method software. Based on explicit dynamic analysis, deformation values ​​and equivalent stress values ​​are obtained after being hit by an anchor at a speed of 5,491 m/s. For unprotected pipes experiencing significant damage, when viewed from the deformation values ​​obtained, namely amounted to 0.143 m, while for the pipe model with protection the deformation value obtained was 0.0769 m. For pipes without protection and pipes that use protection with a thickness of 0.15 m, the deformation value is both above the maximum value that has been determined, namely 10% of the diameter value and when viewed from the equivalent stress value, for pipes without protection the equivalent stress value is obtained. namely 1,150 MPa, while the pipe that uses a protector is 240 MPa, the equivalent stress value obtained by the pipe using a protector is below 780 MPa, which means that the use of pipe protectors is quite effective in reducing damage that occurs to the pipe.

Published: June 2024

Retinoids are a group of compounds consisting of vitamin A and its active metabolite all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). Retinoids can regulate the physiological functions of various organs and tissues and play an important role in normalising immune function, cell growth and differentiation. Vitamin A Vitamin A derivatives have a role in the treatment of tumours and ATRA has a role in the differentiation therapy of acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL). ATRA and other retinoids also have many applications in dermatological conditions (e.g. skin cancer, psoriasis). ATRA and other retinoids also have many applications in dermatological conditions (e.g. skin cancer, psoriasis, acne and ichthyosis). In addition, the physiological functions of skin cells can also be regulated by modulating retinoic acid receptors and retinoid X (or rexinoid) receptors. The results of numerous genetic modelling experiments have shown that the regulation of retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and retinoid X (or rexinoid) receptors (RXRs) may have great potential for the treatment of serious skin diseases such as skin cancer. Here, we provide a synopsis of the main advances in understanding the role of ATRA and its receptors in dermatology.

Published: June 2024

Ensuring greater and worldwide access to clean energy is a fundamental requirement for modern socio-economic development. This can be achieved through a robust expansion of research and development in energy sustainable energy technologies especially in developing countries. Moving towards upgrading clean and sustainable energy technologies can unlock the potential for increasing energy supply across the globe. Most developing countries like Nigeria are naturally endowed with many renewable energy resources that remain inadequately untapped. Renewable Energy (RE) also known as clean and alternative energy has been at the forefront of global energy discourse in the last few decades due to climate change. Despite the current global level of utilization of fossil fuels for power generation, Nigeria is still not among the countries with a balance in the level of energy supply and demand for the citizens. The country has so many isolated rural communities that are not connected to the national electric power system due to the challenge of economic constriction. However, the application of RE technologies for energy supply in rural communities could be a cost-effective alternative to the much-anticipated grid extension to rural communities by the energy stakeholders and planners in the country. Therefore, this study presents a synopsis of the opportunities and barriers to developing clean and sustainable technologies in Nigeria. Core problems affecting the smooth deployment of RE in the country were identified through a perceptive literature review in addition to relevant recommendations towards increasing investment in RE investment in the country.
1 Geographic predictors of early 20th century northern Albanian tribal demography
Authors: Elic M Weitzel Erina Baci Daniel Plekhov
Published: June 2024

As tribal social structures have long been prevalent in our species, understanding the drivers of tribal demography is of great importance. Here, we explore the potential effects of several geographic factors on population size among early 20th century northern Albanian tribes.Through a model comparison analysis of population data from forty-six tribes, we investigate how tribal population size was influenced by slope, net primary productivity, water availability, number of neighboring tribes, and distance to urban centers. Our results suggest that while slope and the number of neighboring tribes are the best available predictors, their overall ability to predict Albanian tribal population size in the early 20th century is poor. An unexplored factor such as tribal wealth (in terms of land, livestock, infrastructure, or marriage alliances) could be a more important driver of population size, but it is perhaps most likely that decades of conflict in the late 19th and early 20th centuries reshaped the demographic landscape of northern Albania and obscured any pre-existing geographic influences on tribal demography.

Published: June 2024

In the literature several methods have been developed to model ordinal data while considering their natural ordering. However, this study sought to compare two possible link functions for the multilevel ordinal regression using males’ ratings of the police forces in Uganda as an outcome variable. Variables were obtained from the UNGBS database (Uganda National Governance Baseline Survey). The highest proportion of males rated the police as good (40.9%) followed by fair (24.96%), poor (19.1%), and lastly very good (15.1%). The multilevel ordered logistic regression model with both individual and contextual variables had the lowest AIC compared to other models, fitting the data best. All the likelihood ratio test results indicated that there was significant variation in males' ratings of the police forces across districts. Hence, males from the same district were significantly more similar compared to males from another districts. Researchers using data collected by applying multi-stage sampling or any form of nesting should consider multilevel or mixed-effects models.

Published: June 2024

Ovaj rad istražuje utjecaj institucija na prihvaćenost kriptovaluta u zemlji s obzirom na razinu financijske pismenosti stanovništva zemlje. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da u zemljama s manjom financijskom pismenošću institucije imaju veći utjecaj na trgovinu s kriptovalutama. Kontrola korupcije, stabilnost vlade, socioekonomski uvjeti, demokracija i kvaliteta birokracije imaju negativan utjecaj, dok zakon i red, involviranost vojske u politiku i sukobi imaju pozitivan utjecaj. S druge strane, kod zemalja s većom financijskom pismenošću utjecaj institucija je manje izražen i uglavnom je negativan. Rast cijene Bitcoina motivira stanovništvo da se uključi u trgovinu kriptovalutama bez obzira na financijsku pismenost. Nadalje, kod država s većom financijskom pismenošću rast prometa na tržištu kapitala potiče dionike da uključe i kriptovalute u svoj portfelj, dok je kod zemalja s manjom financijskom pismenošću ta veza negativna. Ovi rezultati su dodatno potvrđeni i analizom zemalja s obzirom na financijsku inkluziju, koja se u literaturi često povezuje s financijskom pismenošću.

Medical education in the US has contributed to institutionalized racism through historically exclusionary practices, which has led to health disparities and inequities in health care today. The 1910 Flexner report, which favored schools with greater resources, led to the closure of nearly half of medical schools in the Us, which were mostly small schools located in rural communities that served economically disadvantaged, ethnic minority, and female populations. Closing these schools ultimately limited the availability of physicians willing to serve disadvantaged and minority populations in impoverished and underserved communities. In order to transform medical education to be more equitable, medical schools must be proactive in opportunity, diversity, and equity efforts. This not only includes efforts in admissions and faculty hiring, but also curricula related to social and health disparities, interracial interactions between students and faculty, and service learning activities that engage and work with marginalized communities. The University of Hawai‘i John A. Burns School of Medicine has a longstanding commitment to diversity, which is integral to the school’s mission. Providing opportunities to underserved populations has been a priority since establishment of the school. As one of the most diverse univeristies in the US, the school of medicine continues to focus on opportunity, diversity, and equity priorities in both its strategic planning and overall mission.

A preliminary study on the ichthyofaunal diversity of Lata Keding, Jeli in Kelantan, Malaysia was conducted from 19th March to 22nd April 2022. The main objective of this study is to evaluate and document the diversity of fish species (ichthyofauna) in the study area. Fish were collected along Lata Keding at seven sampling points using fishing nets, resulting in a total of 128 individuals belonging to nine species from four families being identified. The families represented were Cyprinidae, Bagridae, Botiidae and Channidae, with the Cyprinidae family comprising the majority of the catch at 91%. This was followed by Bagridae (4%), Botiidae (3%) and Channidae (2%). The nine identified species were Poropuntius normani, Mystacoleucus obtusirostris, Ceratogarra cambodgiensis, Rasbora paviana, Osteochilus waandersii, Barbodes rhombeus, Channa limbata, Syncrossus beauforti and Batasio fluviatilis. This study showed that C. cambodgiensis (Siamese Stone Lapping) was the dominant species at all seven sampling points. Furthermore, sampling point G achieved the highest Simpson index and Shannon Wiener index with 0.863 and 2.023, respectively. This study demonstrated that Lata Keding maintains a diverse population of fish, demonstrating favourable water quality and environmental conditions of the river.

Pulau Undan, Pulau Nangka, and Pulau Dodol have been selected to be gazetted as the newly proposed Marine Protected Area (MPA) in Malacca, known as the Malacca Marine Park. However, these islands faced issues such as overfishing and land reclamation. Furthermore, appropriate entrance fee has yet to be determined for the newly proposed marine park. This study aimed to ascertain the public's perception and identify the factors influencing their willingness to pay (WTP) for an entrance fee at newly proposed marine park. The public's WTP was estimated using Contingent Valuation Method (CVM). Questionnaires were used to obtain responses from 405 participants via convenience sampling at the entrance point of the proposed new MPA in Umbai. Findings of this study indicated a generally positive perception of the proposed marine park. The factors influencing WTP include age, income, and perception, with an average willingness to pay of RM14.38 (based on the Double Bound CVM). The Department of Fisheries can benefit from this study to justify the entrance fee and design an effective strategy for maintaining the sustainability of the marine park in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 'Life Below Water'.
Proposing the application of the Degree-Day Model in predicting phenological events in fireflies (Coleoptera: Lampyridae)
Authors: Abu Seri Nurhafizul , Abd Rahman Azimah
Published: June 2024

This study explores the application and applicability of the Degree-Day Model in forecasting the phenology of fireflies, which serve as important indicators of environmental changes. The model is based on the relationship between temperature and the growth of organisms that rely on external sources of heat. It measures the amount of heat energy that accumulates over time by considering the daily temperature changes and a specific minimum temperature threshold. The accumulation of thermal energy allows for the prediction of important life cycle events in organisms like fireflies, particularly their emergence and peak activity levels, by considering their specific temperature requirements. The model has demonstrated efficacy in firefly phenology research, although with limited applications in only two research studies. In contrast, other animal species have been subjected to more comprehensive investigations, yielding a more precise approach to forecasting important events. Moreover, the model provides valuable information about the environmental parameters that impact the life cycles of fireflies, such as the complex correlation between the accumulation of degree-days and variables like precipitation. This model can be a useful tool for understanding and predicting how variations in temperature affect firefly populations. This helps us gain a better understanding of climate change and its impact on biodiversity.
