Published: January 2025

Transformasi strategis dan inovasi teknologi dalam ranah pemerintahan mengharuskan para aparatur untuk beradaptasi dengan perspektif baru. Usaha untuk meningkatkan efisiensi sistem birokrasi dan menyempurnakan layanan publik diarahkan untuk mewujudkan tata kelola pemerintahan yang ideal. Penelitian ini bertujuan membangun model integrasi data Barang Milik Negara (BMN) Perguruan Tinggi dengan metode ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) menggunakan Pentaho. Peneliti menggunakan metode ETL karena fungsi modul aset dalam Aplikasi SAKTI, seperti daftar barang ruangan (DBR), belum maksimal, yang menyulitkan tim BMN dalam proses inventarisasi. Biasanya, inventarisasi dilakukan menggunakan aplikasi SITARI untuk mengidentifikasi barang yang terekam dan lokasinya. Langkah yang diambil adalah merekonsiliasi data BMN di aplikasi SIMAN dengan dokumen pengadaan, kemudian mengimpor data yang sesuai ke aplikasi SITARI. Mengingat banyaknya data BMN, masih mungkin terjadi kesalahan operator dalam mencocokkan data. Penelitian ini diharapkan menghasilkan model integrasi yang dapat mengurangi tingkat kesalahan sinkronisasi data dan memudahkan tim BMN dalam menyajikan laporan yang lebih akurat.
The 2024 Reform of the European Union’s Economic Governance Framework as a Response to Contemporary Challenges
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Poland, Kołodziejczyk Katarzyna
Published: January 2025

The 2024 reform of the European Union’s economic governance framework represents a crucial response to the complex challenges confronting the organisation and its Member States in the 21st century. In addressing these challenges, the European Union must balance the need for economic growth, reforms, and investments with the imperative of maintaining debt sustainability. The reform emphasises the importance of fostering sound and sustainable public ﬁnances while simultaneously promoting structural reforms and investments aimed at achieving long-term economic growth. This article investigates the factors that necessitated the reform, outlines its primary objectives, and discusses the practical assumptions underpinning its implementation. Furthermore, the article evaluates the potential impact of the reform in light of contemporary issues, such as the increasing signiﬁcance of climate policy and the development of the European Union’s defense capabilities.
The De Jure “Brussels Effect”: Current Legal Trends in the EU’s Unilateral Regulatory Globalisation
Authors:   University of Warsaw, Poland, Bernat Michał , Spera Francesco ,   University of Salento, Italy
Published: January 2025

Anu Bradford employed the term “Brussels effect” to discuss the European Union’s ability to shape regulations and standards in the global marketplace through the EU’s own unilateral regulatory action. That theory has been built around the notion that while the EU exercises its regulatory powers not to actively shape legislative frameworks outside its borders but mainly to establish and enforce standards for its own internal market, third country businesses, for various reasons, follow suit and, moreover, eventually the EU policies spill over to third countries themselves. However, several legislative developments and trends in recent years point to, beyond mere internal market regulation, the EU’s more activist approach and a more ambitious agenda to impose its own policies and rules on foreign companies or even indirectly on third countries. Therefore, it is argued that the so-called “Brussels effect” extends more and more outside the EU, seeking to affect the behaviour of third country businesses, as well as the choices and policies of third countries, where the EU considers this necessary in order to also pursue the EU’s own global goals, such as protection of human rights, the management of climate change, combating the degradation of environment, mitigating the subsidisation of enterprises by states, or regulating AI. In that respect, a claim will be tested in the article which states that the internal regulation of the EU’s own market, once the primary goal of the EU regulatory agenda, has greatly decreased in importance or has even become secondary; it is now the promotion of European values, the protection of EU businesses (also against the competitive disadvantages they suffer due to the EU’s internal market rules) and the will to progress towards certain desired public effects at the global level that are mainly driving the most recent and most impactful EU regulations.

This article considers the peculiarities of the functioning of modern military alliances in the Euro-Atlantic space, their role in ensuring international security, as well as the challenges and future prospects associated with their functioning. The overarching goal set by the authors was to conduct a comprehensive study of the major modern military alliances, assessing their effectiveness and broader capacity to inﬂuence international politics. A comparative method was used to correlate various aspects of the creation and functioning of modern military alliances and to identify both their shared and unique features. By means of a systematic method, the study examined political, economic, military, social, and cultural aspects affecting the activity of military alliances. Additionally, a prognostic method was applied to project and assess potential future impacts of these military alliances on international politics. The research analyses the key approaches to the interpretation of the concept of a military alliance, and provides an analysis of prominent modern military alliances and initiatives within the Euro-Atlantic space, namely, NATO, PESCO, the Ramstein format, NORDEFCO, FINABEL, and the British–Polish–Ukrainian Trilateral. The assessment of the level of effectiveness of the modern military alliances and initiatives was carried out according to the speciﬁed criteria, and highlights the external and internal challenges in the functioning of military alliances. On the basis of comparative studies, it was concluded that NATO is currently the most effective military alliance, while PESCO and NORDEFCO demonstrate a limited level of effectiveness. The main challenges in the functioning of military alliances were identiﬁed, including the widespread prevalence of armed conﬂicts, deﬁciencies within the modern international security system, violations of the norms of international law, difﬁculties in making decisions regarding the use of force against the enemy, the hybrid nature of modern military conﬂicts, as well as the internal disputes between allies, and problems with ﬁnancing.

Published: January 2025

Scientific studies have revealed that a large percentage of Malaysian society suffers from psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, stress, schizophrenia and others, which is the biggest health problem among Malaysians after heart disease. The aim of this study is to explain the reasons for the prevalence of these psychological illnesses and to analyse the prevention methods, approaches and treatment of psychological illnesses according to Shariah scholars and then to show a therapeutic and preventive approach to psychological illnesses according to Shariah, using the inductive and analytical approach. The study concluded that psychiatrists have not clarified the exact causes of mental illness, but they suggested that they are the result of genetic, biological, environmental and psychological factors. Among the reasons mentioned by Shariah scholars are love of the world, committing sins, distance from Allah S.W.T., ignorance of religion, isolation, family and environment. The therapeutic and preventive model for contemporary psychological illnesses in Malaysia consists of the following methods such as seeking Islamic knowledge, belief in Allah S.W.T and the Last Day, patience and striving for reward, good deeds, good company, reading the Quran, reflecting on it and acting upon it (the Quran), remembrance and gratitude to Allah S.W.T., prayings on the Messenger of Allah S.W.T., supplication, treatment with legal ruqyah and psychological medicine, striving to eliminate the causes that cause sorrow and reaching the causes that cause joy. There are studies and testimonies from psychiatrists that confirm these methods and prove their effectiveness in preventing and treating mental illness. The study also contains important recommendations for the parties concerned in this matter.

Germline variants of FLI1, essential for megakaryopoiesis, are linked to bleeding disorders, platelet aggregation defects and mild thrombocytopenia. However, the mechanisms behind these abnormalities remain unclear. This study aims to elucidate the impact of FLI1 variants on human megakaryocytes and platelets. We focused on four FLI1 variants, two of which are novel (p.G307R and p.R340C). We assessed the impact of FLI1 variants on megakaryopoiesis using single-cell RNA sequencing and defects were confirmed in patient platelets and cell lines. Results showed variants p.R337Q, p.K345E and p.R340C exhibited faulty nuclear localization and defective transcriptional activity in vitro and variants p.K345E and p.G307R affected protein stability. A total of 626 genes were differentially expressed in patient megakaryocytes, including genes associated with the platelet activation pathway. TLN1 was among the most downregulated genes, with an 88% reduction in talin-1 protein levels in FLI1 patient platelets. Analysis of chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing data revealed FLI1-binding regions in the TLN1 gene. Luciferase reporter gene assays revealed the functional role of an intronic binding region in cooperation with GATA1. FLI1 variants were linked to reduced cooperative transcriptional activity. These findings reveal novel mechanisms underlying the pathogenicity of FLI1 variants. Defective cooperation between FLI1 variants and GATA1 may play a role in talin-1 deficiency in FLI1 patient platelets, thus contributing to platelet dysfunction. Moreover, talin-1 could serve as a biomarker for classifying the pathogenicity of FLI1 variants.

Published: January 2025

Background: Maternal perception of foetal movement is one of the first signs of foetal life and is regarded as a manifestation of foetal wellbeing. Ultrasound imaging has broadened the scope of foetal assessment.
Objective : Evaluation of biophysical profile as an effective technique for the assessment of foetal condition and to improve foetal outcome by early detection of foetal hypoxia.
Study design and setting: This descriptive study was carried out for a period of one year from July 2009 to June 2010 in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Dhaka National Medical College Hospital (DNMCH).
Patients and methods : This study was carried out on all high risk pregnant patients including decreased foetal movements who were admitted from 34-42weeks during the study time. One hundred and sixty patients were selected and their BPP score was recorded and were followed till delivery. Those who went into spontaneous labour and who were induced monitored during labour and at any sign of foetal distress immediate caesarean section was performed. Apgar score of newborn was noted at one and five minutes and those having poor score were resuscitated and followed till one week after delivery. Apgar score was compared with biophysical score (BPS).
Results : In this study we performed biophysical profile in160 patients. Among them 62 patients were primigravidae and 98 were multigravidae. Out of 160 patients 146 were at term and 14 were preterm.  In this study 108 had a BPP score of 10/10, 42 patients had a score of 8/10, and 10 patients had a score of 6/10.Majority of patients with normal biophysical score of 8-10/10 had good APGAR score. The rate of caesarean section was 73.75%. Concerning foetal outcome, 85% of cases with good outcome, low APGAR score at five minutes (<7/10) in 15% of cases, meconium staining in 16.25% cases, birth asphyxia in  10% of cases.
Conclusion : The foetal BPP is highly accurate and appears to be an effective technique for assessment of foetal condition.

Published: January 2025

The LGBTQ population is growing in size, and this phenomenon is drawing attention from all around the world. They are also growing increasingly outspoken in their demands for legal rights and social acceptance. But along with increased awareness come worries about health problems, especially the rising HIV prevalence in the community. The purpose of this study is to investigate the LGBTQ phenomena utilising a qualitative methodology and library research techniques. This method makes it possible to comprehend the problems this society faces on a deeper level from a variety of angles, including social, psychological, health, and religious ones. The main objective of the study is to identify the factors that drive increased involvement in the LGBTQ community. The study identifies numerous significant aspects through a literature review that includes a variety of perspectives and ideas, including social environment influences, stigma, the search for self-identity, and the need for emotional support. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for building more effective preventative and support programs for LGBTQ people, assisting them in navigating their recovery process and improving their overall well-being. Understanding these reasons allows us to take proactive actions to change the situation and provide the necessary assistance for those in the LGBTQ community to better their situations and return to their true selves. This study is intended to promote awareness and establish a more inclusive space for conversation in society, as well as to assist future researchers in constructing more appropriate and thorough recovery modules.

Published: January 2025

Critical thinking and academic writing skills are important to be learnt by students especially at tertiary level. However, these two skills are reported not being able to be portrayed by students when they are required to solve problems. Hence, this study aimed to investigate students’ perceptions towards their critical thinking and academic writing skills and to determine relationship between the perceived critical thinking and academic writing skills. Cross-sectional research design was employed and there were 122 responses obtained. The results showed that students perceived both their critical thinking and academic writing skills as good and it was also discovered that there was a significant correlation between students self-perceived critical thinking and academic writing skills. This implicated that the educators needed to integrate both skills during the teaching and learning processes. Thus, future research could investigate students’ perceptions more in-depth by utilising qualitative approach and students’ academic performance could be added as another variable to be looked into by future researchers.

This survey is related to perceptions related to students learning interest based on based on various of media and students learning interest  from Mitchel (1993), consists of 15 items with 5 aspects such as attention, curiosity, excitement, meaningfulness, and involvement. The results showed that mostly students choose games media and games application, with 25 students (41,6%) gave highest score, mean that games media gave those students more attention because of the attraction in it, while another learning media  that showed less of interest, were picture with 2 students (3,3%), power point with 6 students (10%), and learning torso with 8 students (13,3%), because visual media not fully explaining the complex material.Another survey about learning interest showed that excitement aspect, game applications gave the highest score, which was 36.6%, chosen by 22 students, followed by game media chosen by 20 students (33.3%). In the meaningfulness and involvement aspects, the learning module gave the highest score, which was 13.3% (8 students) and 35% (21 students), this is because the learning module accommodates students' independent learning so that learning becomes more meaningful. So learning modules and games based media mostly can engage students’ learning interest in education department.

Introduction: University attendance is a known risk factor for alcohol use and misuse. While past research has shown the severity of this risk depends on several interrelated factors, including peer and family perceptions/ acceptance of alcohol, little research has been conducted into the role individual university culture plays in the initiation and continued use of alcohol.

Methods: Patterns of past 30-day alcohol consumption among students (N=303) attending two Southern California universities, Loyola Marymount University (LMU) and California State University Dominguez Hills (CSUDH), was measured via a cross sectional survey. An analysis was conducted to determine if a student’s perception of overall university alcohol use/acceptance mediated the relationship between peer perception/acceptance of alcohol use and a student’s overall alcohol consumption.

Results: Students attending a non- commuter, majority non-Hispanic white university, consumed significantly more alcohol than their peers attending a commuter, majority Hispanic university (past 30-day use: 70.2% vs. 46.8%; p<.001). The primary mediation model indicated university perception/acceptance was a significant mediator of the relationship between peer use perceptions and past 30-day alcohol use [OR: 2.02 (CI: 1.39, 3.22)].

Conclusion: This study provides evidence that overall university culture may influence and alter alcohol consumption patterns among students. A heightened awareness of peer and university perception of alcohol use may provide potential for universities to develop tactics that reduce alcohol consumption among their student populations.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to highlight epidemiological and clinical specificities of BC in our setting as well as surgical management approaches.

Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the surgical oncology unit of the Dalal Jamm University Hospital from January to July 2023. Dalal Jamm University Hospital is a teaching hospital based in Dakar, Senegal.

Results: The median age for BC was 45 years (37-54). The main histological types of BC were invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) with respectively 95.1% and 4.9% of cases. SBR grades 2 and 3 were more common with respectively 78% and 19.5% of cases. BC was locally advanced in 65.9% of cases and metastatic in 31.7% of cases. Modified radical mastectomy (MRM) was the main surgical management approach with 97.6% of cases followed by lumpectomy or breast-conserving surgery (BCS) with 2.4% of cases.

Conclusion: The mean age of BC in sub-Saharan African populations is relatively younger than European and American ones. Furthermore, women present with advanced stages of disease explaining higher rate of NAC in African setting than Europe and America. Finally, MRM is the most common surgical management procedure in sub-Saharan Africa whereas it is BCS (lumpectomy) in Europe and America.

Mylife/Mylife100® is a dietary supplement derived from five edible plants: mangosteen aril, pennywort leaves, guava fruit, black sesame seeds, and soy protein. This supplement has been used for over a decade to support thousands of cancer patients in Thailand, with marked improvements in physical conditions. Through rigorous testing, the formula has consistently shown efficacy in boosting immunity, as evidenced by significant increases in CD4 and CD8 (killer T cell) levels observed among volunteers. Moreover, we found that this effectiveness extends beyond merely strengthening immunity. Volunteers experienced not only elevated CD4 and CD8 counts but also a lengthening of their telomeres, indicating a holistic enhancement of their immune response. This formula specifically targets cancer cells with minimal side effects and also improves the overall health condition of patients, with effectiveness increasing with the dosage administered.

Background: SARS-CoV-2 has been circulating around the world after first case identification in China.Many of the therapeutic options are being studied globally and recently, many countries have been vaccinating their people. However, its efficacy is under study and yet to be clearly defined. In this circumstance, reliable and faster diagnostic testing is critical for limiting the spread of the virus. This study is an attempt to identify SARS-CoV-2 by an antigen screening test, its effectiveness and clinical correlation in COVID cases.

Methods: This is laboratory based cross sectional study was performed in Manmohan Memorial Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu from November 2020 to January 2021. A total of 150 patients were screened for SARS-CoV-2 antigen in the nasopharyngeal swab. A structured questionnaire was administered to collect information on clinico-demographic profiles and illness history of patients. Antigen screening was performed using lateral flow immunoassay. Data were analyzed according to standard statistical method using SPSS version 20.

Results: Among 150 participants, 11(7.3%) were SARS-CoV-2 antigen positive. Significant group differences between positive and negative were observed for age (p= 0.002), presence of symptoms (p<0.001), duration of symptom onset (p<0.001), presence of underlying illness (p=0.001) and contact history with COVID-19 infected case (p<0.001) but not for gender (p=1.00).

Conclusion: Adults, elderly and the individuals having close contact with COVID-19 infected patient were at high risk of acquiring infection. Majority of the infected patients presented the symptoms and had underlying disease suggesting, underlying illness could be the risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Published: January 2025

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in diabetics. It is usually diagnosed after it has become symptomatic. Treatments of diabetes and CKD are for retarding the progress of the diseases. Reversal of established CKD seldom occurs. This paper presents the study of a treatment that reversed or stabilized CKD in diabetic patients. Twentyone diabetic patients with stages 3a,3b,4 and 5 CKD were treated with Physiologic Insulin Resensitiza-tion (PIR). The peak CKD stages prior to PIR treatment were determined and compared CKD stages at initia-tion of PIR. The Initial CKD stage at initiation of PIR was compared to the stage at the study end. Before starting with PIR. Twelve patient’s peak stage had worsened, 8 were stable and 1 improved. Of the PIR treated patients, 9 improved their stage, 10 were stable and 2 worsened over an average of 18 months. One of the stage 5 patients did not progress to needing dialysis after ten months. Patients with stages 3a, 3b, or 4 seldom reverse their CKD stages. It is remarkable that nine of 21 patients with CKD stages 3a, 3b and 4 improved their stages even though seven of them had a recent history of declining stages. The results have economic implications. As patient’s CKD worsens, treatment cost increases. Preventing stage 4 and 5 patients from progressing to needing dialysis or transplantation could result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in health savings.

Published: January 2025

This study explores syntactic variations in bilingual code-switching, focusing on Englishmixed structures. Code-switching, the shift between two languages within a single conversation or discourse, frequently occurs in multilingual settings and can be influenced by various linguistic and social factors. The aim of this research is to analyze patterns and syntactic structures in sentences containing a mixture of English and another language, revealing how simultaneous use of two languages creates unique sentence structures. Using a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, the study involved 10 bilingual respondents who actively use English alongside their native language in daily conversations. The interview data were analyzed thematically to identify common patterns in syntactic code-switching, such as word order, pronoun usage, and phrase structure differences. Findings indicate that code-switching occurs not only at the lexical level but also at the syntactic level, with significant variations in sentence structures influenced by grammatical differences between English and the native language. The study reveals that factors like conversational context, social setting, and language proficiency level also influence syntactic forms in code-switching. The implications of this study provide new insights into how grammatical rules from two different languages can interact and adapt, enriching our understanding of language adaptability among bilingual speakers. These findings contribute to applied linguistics and can be applied in language education as well as cross-cultural communication studies.
Modern mosaic of understanding the picture of the world in comparative jurisprudence
Authors: Kresin Oleksiy
Published: January 2025

The article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of modern attempts to understand the picture of the world of law in comparative jurisprudence. The basis of such searches is the distinction, analysis and comparison of pre-modern, modern and post-modern legal development and legal outlook, which are generally correlated with pre-national, national legal orders, and the crisis of the latter. The author comes to the conclusion that the new fragmentary, but largely agreed, visions of a special picture of the world of comparative jurisprudence providing for, first of all: the deconstruction of national and international law, questioning the systematicity and totality of the first and the integrity of the second; and the global pluralism of legal ,orders, regimes and their elements of various social and communicative origins.

However, a conceptually coherent alternative to nation- and state-centricity in comparative jurisprudence has not yet been proposed. This now ambiguous legacy of modernism is and should be criticized, but both the development of law at the national and international level and the picture of the world in comparative jurisprudence remain within the paradigm of legal nationalism as a system-creating and still indispensable factor in the regulation of social and inter-societal relations.

Key words: scientific picture of the world, comparative jurisprudence, comparative law, postmodernism, legal pluralism, legal order, national legal system.
