Authors: Darmawan Budi , Regita Cahyani Nazra Endah
Published: February 2025

Koto Gadang is a traditional village in Minangkabau, which gave birth to and formed many Indonesian intellectuals or political figures in the period before the early days of Indonesian independence in various schools of thought, which in this article is a study of local history. This study analyzes the role of the Koto Gadang nagari from the perspective of local history studies which were the factors that shaped the birth and contribution of Indonesian intellectuals in the 20th century. The method used in this article is the historical method, namely heuristics, source verification, interpretation and historiography. This research shows that Koto Gadang was a very important nagari for the Indonesian people in the 20th century. Nagari Koto Gadang is a small village whose people live from craftsmen and agriculture. Situated in a highland area flanked by Mount Marapi and Mount Singgalang, this does not make Koto Gadang a village left behind in the 20th century. Even though there is little agricultural land and an emphasis on craftsmen, the Koto Gadang village has succeeded in providing its children with a good education. Thanks to progress in the field of education and the open attitude of society, this village has become one of the contributors to Indonesian intellectuals.

Ketohan Hamlet is part of Kucur Village. Ketohan has a lot of young people who are of course still of school age. However, most of these children do not attend high school. This happens because of the parents who want their children to work immediately. In addition to these factors, there are also constraints due to cost issues. This is what makes children have no manners. Therefore, the goal of the "PMBP Sederhana" group is to increase children's interest in continuing to learn and pursue higher education and teach manners. The "PMBP Sederhana" group, after conducting several evaluations, found a way to foster interest in learning by providing a teaching method of learning while playing. In addition, children's manners begin to form with a method approach to be like their friends. Of the two alternative solutions, it went well because the children's values increased and their manners began to form.

Published: February 2025

Primary brain tumors (PBTs) refer to the growth of abnormal cells originating in the brain. These tumors account for approximately two percent of all cancers in the adult population of the United States. Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma, one of the most common malignant PBTs, often require treatments in intensive care unit (ICU). Surgical removal of PBTs through craniotomy is often the first-line treatment for many types of brain tumors. ICU admission following major surgery like craniotomy is considered a standard of care in many healthcare systems. ICU provides access to specialized equipment, such as mechanical ventilators, continuous renal replacement therapy machines, continuous electroencephalogram monitoring, and invasive hemodynamic monitoring devices, which might be essential for the care of these patients. Understanding potential complications is essential for healthcare professionals to monitor patients more effectively and guide decision-making for optimal management. Over the years, perceptions of ICU utilization have shifted, raising questions about whether ICU admission is always the right choice for patients who have undergone brain surgery. Traditional scoring systems may not always demonstrate the necessity of ICU care for patients undergoing elective craniotomy for PBTs. Further research is needed to identify the most effective strategies for optimizing patient care, determining the need for ICU care in specific cases, and minimizing costs in neurosurgery.
Arterial tissue-to-psoas muscle ratio: A novel metric for quantifying fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in predicting the association between atherosclerotic inflammation and arterial calcification
Authors: S. Al-enezi Mamdouh
Published: February 2025

Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) are valuable tools for assessing atherosclerotic plaque burden and associated physiological processes. The objective of this study is to evaluate the arterial tissue-to-psoas muscle uptake ratio (TMR) as a metric for assessing the relationship between inflammation and arterial calcification. Thirteen atherosclerotic patients were scanned using fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET/CT. The descending aorta, femoral, and iliac arteries were delineated on PET images and co-registered with corresponding CT slices. Arterial calcium was determined in arterial regions of interest with CT numbers above 130, and calcium level, area, and score were measured and classified into four clusters. FDG aggregation in PET images was assessed using mean TMR, with two cut-off points (1.8 and 2.3). Normality of the FDG signal in the psoas muscle was observed for all participants (p = 0.23). No significant differences in TMR values were observed (TMR, TMR >1.8, and TMR >2.3) across calcium density clusters (p > 0.05). However, a higher calcium area was positively associated with TMR values (p < 0.05) compared to a lower calcium area. The same pattern was observed for calcium score clusters, where higher calcium scores were associated with higher TMR values compared to lower calcium scores (p < 0.05). Using the psoas muscle as a background correction strategy for quantifying FDG uptake is feasible and may help reduce variation seen with a blood-based normalization approach, thus improving the reproducibility of measurements. TMR is a sensitive metric for assessing the relationship between arterial calcification and inflammation. Calcium area is a comparable method to calcium score for quantifying arterial calcium burden.

The fruits of Schisandra chinensis (SCF) and Schisandra sphenanthera (SSF) are traditional Chinese herbal medicines classified as medicinal and food homologous materials, known for their significant neuroprotective efficacy. However, the differences in their therapeutic effects and active components for the treatment of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the neuroprotective activities of SCF and SSF on VCI and investigate the compositional disparities between the two. The lipopolysaccharide-induced and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced BV2 cell models were used to evaluate the protective effects of SCF and SSF against neuroinflammation and mitochondrial damage, respectively. The therapeutic effects were further validated using a bilateral common carotid artery stenosis mouse model. Compositional differences were analyzed using ultraperformance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS), and drug-like properties of their constituents were assessed. In vitro experiments showed that SCF and SSF at concentrations of 6.4, 16, and 40 μg/mL reduced nitric oxide, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interleukin-6 levels in a dose-dependent manner. Notably, at the same concentrations, SCF significantly mitigated OGD/R-induced mitochondrial damage, whereas SSF showed no significant effect. Compared with SSF, SCF exhibited stronger anti-neuroinflammatory and antioxidant properties. In vivo experiments further demonstrated that SCF, administered at 400 mg/kg, was more effective in improving learning ability, spatial learning and memory, cerebral blood flow, and nerve fiber repair than SSF. Moreover, 71 and 64 compounds were identified in SCF and SSF, respectively, using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS. Drug-like property analysis of these compounds revealed that the superior therapeutic effects of SCF may be attributed to differences in biphenylcyclooctene-type lignans. Our data support the conclusion that SCF possesses significantly superior neuroprotective activity compared to SSF, providing a theoretical basis for its clinical application in VCI.
Exploring the dynamic impact of lemon essential oil on anthropometric measurements in a 6-week study
Authors: Gonçalves Sara , Barros Cidália
Published: February 2025

Bioactive compounds in lemon essential oil possess antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Although traditional uses of lemon essential oil are well-documented, scientific research evaluating its effects on anthropometric parameters remains limited. This study examines the impact of lemon essential oil on anthropometric measurements, specifically focused on skinfold thickness and body composition. Participants (n = 26) were divided into treatment and control groups using a randomized and double-blinded design. The treatment group received a 5-min abdomen exfoliation and a 30-min modeling massage using sweet almond and lemon essential oils, while the control group underwent an identical procedure without the lemon essential oil. The study spanned 6 weeks, and anthropometric variables, including skinfold thickness, abdominal perimeter, weight, and body mass index (BMI), were assessed before and after each session. Statistical analyses revealed a 3.8% reduction in abdominal perimeter (P = 0.041) and significant improvements in the treatment group’s tricep skinfold thickness (P = 0.046). However, no statistically significant differences were observed in weight or BMI. Notable changes were session-specific, particularly in sessions 3, 5, and 6, suggesting variability in the effects of lemon essential oil. These findings demonstrate that lemon essential oil may enhance the effectiveness of massage-based interventions aimed at body contouring or skin condition improvement in weight management and wellness programs. However, limitations should be considered when interpreting these findings, including the small sample size and focus on female participants. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of lemon essential oil to modulate anthropometric measurements and advance the understanding of essential oils in healthcare and wellness applications.
Overseas Chinese gardens: Localizing “harmony between humans and nature” across four case studies over 40 years (1980s–2020s)
Authors: Xu Yunqing , Lin Chunhui , Li Yinan
Published: February 2025

Despite the growing number and great variety of overseas Chinese gardens developed over the past four decades, a fundamental question persists that influences decision-making at every stage of such collaborative projects: how can the classical philosophy of “harmony between humans and nature” be interpreted in international contexts characterized by varied cultural and institutional systems? This article critically reviews the key essence of human–nature relationships underlying the design, construction, and adaptation of overseas Chinese gardens in response to practical conditions and constraints. Through comparative analysis of four selected cases spanning 40 years, the study examines the main changes in project focus, patterns, and influential factors, as well as the shared foundations that contribute to the vitality and sustainability of these gardens. The findings reveal that the concept of “harmony” has been redefined to balance complex relationships with the natural environment and among stakeholders and visitors throughout the whole process, from design to construction and operation. This redefinition reflects a broader transformation that emphasizes diversifying funding sources, engaging the public through lived experiences, and prioritizing long-term operational sustainability. Moreover, the growing emphasis on an open, inclusive, and green approach to growth and living has become a shared international goal, aligning with the philosophy of harmony in Chinese gardens and positions their internationalization as a potentially valuable element in urban planning, contributing to sustainability, equity, and quality of life in contemporary society.

Herbal medicine as a potential treatment for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Authors: Nie Wen-Yi , Ye Yang , Tong Hong-Xuan , Hu Jing-Qing
Published: February 2025

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a global public health concern, affecting over one-quarter of the global population. It is closely associated with the prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome. Current treatment options for NAFLD are limited and often have side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers a promising alternative with its holistic approach and use of multi-component herbal formulations. A recent study explored the potential of the TCM formula, "Fanlian Huazhuo Formula (FLHZF)", to alleviate high-fat diet-induced NAFLD by regulating autophagy and lipid synthesis signaling pathways. TCM has shown advantages in the prevention and treatment of NAFLD due to its efficacy and minimal side effects. However, the complex multicomponent and multitarget characteristics of formulas such as FLHZF present challenges in research. Future studies should focus on utilizing modern techniques to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms of action and active ingredients of Chinese herbal medicines, thereby promoting their modernization.
A study for property evaluation and tax avoidance on inheritance tax : Based on the ruling by Japan's Supreme Court on April 19, 2022
Authors:   KOREAN SOCIETY OF TAX LAW, Hwang Heon Sun
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to examine Japan's Supreme Court ruling on tax avoidance by heirs to avoid the burden of inheritance tax, and to derive implications for Korea from this. In Korea, market valuation is a principle for inheritance tax and gift tax, but in some cases, a problem has been pointed out that real estate is undervalued. We would like to examine what kind of judgment the Japanese judiciary has made in this regard.
The target judgment was that the heir evaluated the value of the mansion purchased by the heir at the age of 94 with loans from banks at the age of 90 and 91, according to the evaluation method prescribed by the Basic Real Estate Evaluation.
In response, the Supreme Court of Japan said, “If there is a reasonable reason to conduct a uniform evaluation of the property value included in the taxable price of inheritance tax according to the method determined by the assessment authority, there is a reasonable reason, so it is reasonable to interpret that the value of the property is in accordance with the value evaluated according to the method determined by the assessment authority.” The act in this case significantly reduced the inheritance tax burden. This creates an imbalance that is difficult to overlook compared to other taxpayers, and is contrary to the fairness of the actual tax burden.
Taxpayers may engage in legal acts that are advantageous to them in tax burden within the scope not contrary to the tax law. In response, the customs office continues to deny the taxpayer's actions based on tax fairness. In Korea, there are discussions on various systems to improve the taxation equity of inheritance tax and gift tax. It should be seen that tax egalitarianism is realized through tax legalism. It should not be overlooked that the tax law is also aimed at guaranteeing the property rights of taxpayers, and this article is also meaningful to examine the judgment of the Supreme Court of Japan on these contents.
Ethical Leadership and Academic Staff Behaviour: Ethical Climate's Role and Moral Identity's Limit
Authors: Ahmad Ridzuan , Abdullah Hashim Raemah , Abdul Latiff Ahmed Razman
Published: February 2025

Ethical behaviour among academic staff is essential for maintaining the integrity and reputation of educational institutions. However, there is limited understanding of the factors that influence such behaviour, especially among academic staff, in the context of Malaysian public universities. This study aims to investigate the effect of ethical leadership on ethical behaviour among academic staff, with a focus on the mediating role of ethical climate and the moderating effect of moral identity. Employing a quantitative research methodology, data were collected from 601 academic staff across five selected Malaysian public universities through a structured questionnaire. The principal results reveal that ethical leadership does not have a significant direct relationship with ethical behaviour. However, ethical climate significantly mediates the relationship between ethical leadership and ethical behaviour. Contrary to expectations, moral identity does not moderate the relationship between ethical leadership and ethical behaviour. These findings emphasize the importance of creating a supportive ethical climate to encourage ethical behaviour among academic staff. The study extends existing literature by providing new insights into the mechanisms underlying employee ethical behaviour and offers practical recommendations for public universities aiming to promote ethical conduct.

Absenteeism in the workplace can be voluntary or involuntary which significantly impacts organization productivity, employee morale, and operational costs. An artificial neural network will be employed to extract insights on absenteeism helping the employers to understand and mitigate the issue. There are limited attempts that propose neural network model for knowledge extraction in the human resources domain, particularly research revolving around absenteeism of employees. In this paper, a modified evolutionary based algorithm named Modified Niche Genetic Algorithm has been proposed to enhance the training phase of the Discrete Hopfield Neural Network with Random 2 Satisfiability Modified Reverse Analysis method. The performance of the Modified Niche Genetic Algorithm with the Random 2 Satisfiability Modified Reverse Analysis is evaluated using various performance metrics. In light of the findings, the proposed model demonstrated superior performance compared to the traditional classification model with 73% more accuracy in doing knowledge extraction for the human resources field. The contributions in the proposed model provide a robust platform and enhance the capabilities of the classification model.

Communication competency among school leaders is crucial for enhancing educational outcomes, particularly in STEM education. This systematic review aims to synthesize existing research on the interplay between school leaders' communication competencies and STEM professional development outcomes, addressing the gap in understanding how these skills impact the effectiveness of STEM teaching strategies. The study's objectives are to identify key communication competencies of school leaders influential in STEM professional development, analyze their impact on the effectiveness of professional development strategies, and provide recommendations for enhancing STEM teaching through improved communication practices. A systematic literature review was conducted using Scopus and ERIC databases, focusing on studies published between 2014 and 2024. From 247 initially identified papers,21 articles were selected for final analysis based on predefined criteria. The analysis revealed three main themes: (1) Communication competency of school leaders is crucial for effective teaching and leadership; (2) STEM and professional development in education require multifaceted approaches, including cultural competence and collaborative problem-solving; (3) Digitalization and technology integration present both challenges and opportunities for school leaders in enhancing STEM education.
Acretismo placentário
Authors: Amaral Waldemar Naves , Oliveira Ferreira Gabriella
Published: February 2025

Introdução: Acretismo é a implantação da placenta anormal na parede uterina, é classificada segundo o grau de profundidade. A incidência de acretismo aumentou no mundo todo em paralelo ao aumento de cesáreas, ocorrendo 1 caso para cada 533 partos. Objetivo: Avaliar a intervenção cirúrgica cesárea/histerectomia (placenta in loco) como resolução saudável binômio materno-fetal. Método: Série de casos. Discussão: A melhor proposta terapêutica nos casos de acretismo é o planejamento de parto cesárea seguido de histerectomia total abdominal (HTA). O tratamento conservador (manutenção do útero deixando a placenta in situ) pela elevada morbi-mortalidade associada deve ser encarado de forma excepcional. Os perfis das pacientes dos casos se enquadram nos fatores de risco citados nos estudos. Todos os casos possuíam cesárea anterior e diagnóstica de placenta prévia; média de idade: 36,8 anos (32-41 anos); média de paridade (gesta): 2,8 (G4- G2). O caso 2 foi programado parto cesariano e HTA. Porém, durante cesárea preservou o útero e evoluiu para choque hemorrágico após 4 horas do término do procedimento, sendo necessário HTA em 2º tempo. Nos casos 1, 3 e 4 foi planejado parto cesárea e HTA, sem intercorrências. Em todos os casos o tratamento final evoluiu com histerectomia, indo ao encontro da literatura como melhor terapêutica. Considerações finais: Uma boa conduta diante do acretismo com diagnóstico prévio através USG e Doppler, planejamento de parto em centro de referência (reserva de hemoconcentrados e UTI) com equipe experiente e multidisciplinar tem o poder de mudar o prognóstico.

Inem Katering is a business that is still developing in Minahasa, North Sulawesi, which is engaged in the culinary sector with a focus on catering services for various large events such as weddings, birthdays, funerals, and other thanksgiving events. This business is not yet supported by well-structured financial management. Most of the cash flow is still based on estimates, without clear records. The existence of technology is greatly needed by Inem Katering not only to make it easier to prepare financial reports but also to make this business grow. One of the uses of information technology in helping Inem Katering prepare financial reports can be in the form of the application of accounting software, Accurate. The Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework is used to evaluate the implementation of the accurate accounting application with three contexts, context of technology, organization and environment. This research method uses a quatitative approach obtained from the results of interviews with three sources. The results of the study show that in the context of technology, the relative advantage attribute indicates that the implementation of this accounting application will provide benefits in the form of important information for managers and employees such as balance sheet and profit and loss reports in accordance with SAK EMKM. Meanwhile, for the organizational context at this time, business managers fully support the adoption of this application, but at this time the Katering business has not been able to add special employees to manage the accounting application. Environmental factors are influenced by competition in this business sector, but the implementation of this accounting application can help the Katering business to evaluate their needs for technology.
