Authors: Putri Hasna Athiya , Gamayuni Rindu Rika , Dharma Fitra , Dharma Fitra
Published: May 2023

The pandemic of COVID-19 requires all levels of government to take action under a broad context of economic uncertainty and social pressures. In Indonesia, a policy of refocusing and reallocating the budget is implemented as a regional government action to overcome the impact of Covid-19. The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of refocusing and budget reallocation policies on the fiscal health of Indonesian municipalities in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak. The sample in this study uses districts and cities in Indonesia. The Regional Government Financial Reports for 2018 and 2019 represent the pre-refocusing and budget reallocation years, then 2020 and 2021 as the years and post-refocusing and budget reallocation. Using the independence and effectiveness ratios, the results demonstrate that pre- and post-refocusing and budget reallocation regional governments differed significantly in their financial performance. The efficiency ratio, however, shows no change between the pre-and post-refocusing and budget reallocation.
The Effect of Business Strategy, Managerial Ability, Multiple Large Shareholders, and Earnings Management on Investment Efficiency
Authors: Sopacua Elisabeth Andra Wilna , Butar Sansaloni Butar
Published: May 2023

Companies often withhold or reject projects that generate net present value. As a result, investment decisions are not optimal and lead to lower investment efficiency. This study examines the effect of business strategy, managerial ability, multiple large shareholders, and earnings management on investment efficiency. The sample was selected from companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2019-2021. Financial and insurance industry companies were excluded because they have different accrual characteristics. Several control variables are added to the regression model. The results show that business strategy is associated with investment efficiency. In contrast, managerial ability, multiple large shareholders, and earnings management have no effects on investment efficiency. As for control variables, operating cash flow, debt-to-equity ratio, firm size, and return on assets are associated with investment efficiency.
“Common Law” Hukukunun Gelişimi
Authors: ERKUL Fikriye
Published: May 2023

Osmanlı Devleti hukuk tarihi çalışmalarına başlangıç aşamasında hukuk ile ilgili temel kavramlar okumaları sırasında common law kavramı ile karşılaştık. Common law hukuku usul bakımından kıta Avrupası’nda gördüğümüz Roma hukuk sisteminin tesiri altında gelişen hukuk sisteminden farklılık gösterir. Bu hukuk düzeninde hakimlerin mahkemede almış oldukları kararlar daha sonra aynı türde davalar için bağlayıcılık arz ediyor ve dolayısıyla da mahkeme kararları aynı zamanda kanunları oluşturuyordu. Bazı kaynaklarda bu hukuk sisteminin İngiltere’ye gelen Germen kökenli kabilere uzandığı ve Germen örfünün common law sistemini ortaya çıkaran önemli bir faktör olduğu ve bu örfün, kralı hukuki bakımdan bağlayıcı özelliğinin, İngiltere’de Avrupa kıtasından çok önce hukukun üstünlüğü ilkesinin gelişmeye başlamasını sağladığı ifade ediliyordu. Başka bazı kaynaklar ise Germen etkisinden ziyade Germenlerden çok sonra İngiltere’ye gelen Normanların tesiri altında bu hukukun ortaya çıktığını belirtiyordu. Çalışmada ele alınan temel sorunsal common law nedir ve nasıl ortaya çıktı iken bir başka sorunsal Roma hukukunun Avrupa kıtasında gösterdiği etkiyi neden Britanya’da gösteremediğine dair idi. 12. yüzyılda Henry II dönemi hukukçusu Glanvill ile 13. Yüzyıl hukukçusu Bracton’un eserleri çalışma sırasında common law hukuku konusunda karşımıza çıkan iki önemli kaynak oldu. Common law ile ilgili yerli kaynaklar oldukça sınırlı olduğundan daha çok yabancı araştırma eserlerden faydalanıldı.

Leadership 2030: Renewed visions and empowered choices for European university leaders
Authors: Olcott Don , Arnold Deborah , Blaschke Lisa Marie
Published: May 2023

This conceptual and descriptive study examines the critical issues, challenges and priorities for European higher education (HE) leaders, drawing upon the theory, practice and experience of leaders inside and outside the open and distance learning (ODL) field. Focussing on the emerging vantage points of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), global trends and the post-pandemic HE landscape, the article discusses their impact on organisational architecture and the emerging leadership roles for driving organisational values, change and sustainability. The authors argue that to maintain institutional stability and agility, leaders must interpret the current zeitgeist to set priorities, build decision-action packages and embrace a new organisational architecture: one characterised by flexible structures, a clear vision of the desired future, a culture of trust and openness, a comprehensive and deep understanding and optimum application of employee skill and talent, and the effective implementation of digital tools and curriculum structures in pedagogically meaningful ways. Leaders must be adaptable, agile and innovative, with the capacity to understand, identify and support the forms of leadership appropriate to their strategic objectives and institutional culture. The paper concludes by targeting critical priorities and actions that leaders must navigate to create innovative and dynamic futures for their institutions.
E-learning in the practice of teaching doctoral students
Authors: Pokrzycka Lidia
Published: May 2023

This article presents the teaching methods implemented in the course ‘Modern methods and techniques of teaching in higher education institutions’ for doctoral students of exact sciences in the Doctoral School of Maria Curie Sklodowska University who were not taught classes before and who originally were not very interested in another course. The e-learning mode entails many challenges. In this particular case, the greatest challenge was to convince doctoral students to participate actively in classes and to become genuinely interested in the course. The article describes the topics of the classes and the methods used to reach PhD students of science (the author is a representative of social sciences). After the classes, a questionnaire was conducted online, which was aimed to identify students’ satisfaction. The survey was aimed at examining the interest of doctoral students in e-learning, their assessment of the usefulness of distance learning and preparation for the implementation of teaching applications during the coronavirus pandemic. The use of a number of didactic applications; setting new challenges, research problems to be solved and changing roles; and conducting classes for students of media sciences gave positive results. The classes show that a teacher from the social scientific discipline can introduce a completely different view of teaching in exact sciences, especially in a remote form. During the exercises, didactic applications and methods were introduced during joint classes with teachers from the University of Mons (Belgium), which were conducted initially remotely and then stationary. The article is based on the results of research conducted under the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA)—project ‘E-learning and ICT in education in Poland and Belgium. Comparative study’ (Poland-Wallonia Bilateral Exchange Program).
Camouflage Assessments with Digital Pattern Painting Based on the Multi-Scale Pattern-in-Picture Evaluation Model
Authors: Jia Qi , Xu Weidong , Yi Yang , Liu Jun , Hu Jianghua , Zhu Liyan , Yang Xin
Published: May 2023

In general, traditional evaluations of target camouflage effects are usually conducted based on observational data and general results of statistical analysis. This widely applied methodology quantifies the detection and identification probabilities of camouflage objects but has considerable shortcomings. This data evaluation process is laborious and time-consuming and very low in reproducibility, which sheds light on the necessity of developing a more efficient method in this study field. The growth of computer-aided image processing technology provides technical support for camouflage effect evaluation based on digital image processing. Digital pattern painting, which has been previously applied to combat utility uniforms, is a new methodology full of potential due to its broad geographical adaptability. This study proposes a multi-scale pattern-in-picture method to evaluate camouflage effects at different distances. We also established a computer-aided background image library and camouflage assessments with digital simulation and created an evaluation system that could be effectively applied to combat utility uniforms. More than 40 testers participated in this study, who were asked to score the designed camouflage schemes using the evaluation system proposed. The data from simulation assessments and individual evaluations show that the computer-aided simulation assessments conducted as part of this research can efficiently and objectively evaluate the camouflage effect on military objects.
Sustaining Innovation: Digital Live Music Models in a Post-COVID-19 Trinidad and Tobago
Authors: Joseph Farley Joel
Published: May 2023

Joseph (2021) advanced a detailed qualitative portrayal of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the value network of the Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) live music sector. The study culminated by proposing a potential business model for digital live music showcase and monetisation. Supported by a cross-sectional survey with a group of 204 live music fans, this paper pursues an initial quantitative examination of Joseph’s study (2021). It follows-up on select aspects of the sustainability and adoption possibilities of the proposed model. The results outline the customer profiles of online concert fans during the COVID-19 lockdown period in T&T, identifying 25–34-year-old fans as constituting a major audience segment, followed by the 35–45-year-old category. Tertiary education is a defining feature of the audience, who are tech savvy lovers of local music. They thrive in online environments, gaining information from social media, and are familiar with making online purchases using credit cards and alternative payment methods. Expanding on payment technology, the data suggest that there is no statistically significant relationship between the method of payment used for online concerts and spending, making the case for multiple payment options for monetisation of online concerts. Conversely, there is a statistically significant relationship between incorporating augmented reality/virtual reality features as well as on-demand business models, with the majority of fans expressing a willingness to spend on the format.
Literature review of value co-creation in education institutes: current states and future perspectives
Authors: Chatzara Maria , Tsiakis Theodosios
Published: May 2023

Education has an essential place and influence on the future and current economy and society in general. Understanding the mechanisms of value co-creation in the education environment is therefore of paramount importance for improving the quality of educational services. Value co-creation focuses on the interaction with the learner with the aim of better academic performance and students’ satisfaction. This paper presents areas in which value co-creation is applied in higher education institutions and the results of its implementation, both for universities and students. Value co-creation promotes and enhances the interaction between educational institutions and students and seems to have a positive impact not only on academic performance, but also on students’ satisfaction and engagement levels. The process of value co-creation allows educational units and students to work together to optimise their experience and enhance their ability to actively participate in the educational process.
Correlation between Young Population and the Number of Universities in Japan
Authors: Hirota Harunobu
Published: May 2023

Among developed countries, the Japanese population is aging rapidly, and it is estimated that the aging rate in 2021 will exceed 25% alone among developed countries. In Japan, while the birthrate is declining and the population is aging, the number of universities has increased in recent years. In this study, we considered the future issues of university education in Japan by reviewing the current situation of the declining birthrate and aging population in Japan, the enrollment rate, the transition of the number of universities, and the number of enrollees. In Japan, although the 18-year-old population is decreasing, the number of universities has increased from 604 to 803 over the last 20 years. In addition, the number of university admissions has increased sharply. In the near future, there is a possibility that the number of university admissions will exceed the number of applicants. This situation will cause various problems, such as disparities between universities, a decline in the academic ability of students and financial difficulties at universities. The government assumes that higher education will enter the era of “universal access” in the future and expects that these problems can be overcome. It is necessary to keep a close eye on the issue and deepen policy discussions on the appropriate level of university quotas and the number of universities.
How Peace Tourism Involves Youth in Peacebuilding: Examples from Maluku-Indonesia?
Authors: Mirzachaerulsyah Edwin , Wiyono Hadi , Hasudungan Anju Nofarof
Published: May 2023

This study aims to describe peace tourism involving youth to fill the peacebuilding gap after the Ambon-Maluku conflict. Peace tourism in many places focuses on the role of the private sector, government, and the international community without involving youth. Polarization in society strengthened due to the presidential elections of the Republic of Indonesia in 2014 and 2019, and the Jakarta governor election in 2017, thus exacerbating the peacebuilding gap. This research uses qualitative research with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and literature study. The results of the study show that the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) together with national and local institutions carried out peace tourism on January 25–30, 2018. They chose 120 youth, and 82.5% came from outside Maluku Province. Peace tourism involves visiting locations where conflicts occur and attending the 35th world peace gong. For example, the Red-White Bridge, Batu Merah, and Passo villages were discussed with Islamic and Christian leaders, journalists, youth communities that care about peace, and others. During peace tourism, youth are enthusiastic about learning about the history of conflict and influencing communities to restore social relations. After the peace tour, they return to their area to become peacekeepers. Unfortunately, this program is not sustainable.

Published: May 2023

RESUMO. A bronquiolite viral aguda (BVA) é uma doença inflamatória do trato respiratório inferior que afeta, principalmente, crianças nos primeiros 2 anos de vida, com pico de incidência aos 6 meses de idade. O objetivo dessa revisão bibliográfica integrativa foi identificar na literatura se há evidências que corroboram com benefícios na utilização da Fisioterapia Respiratória como adjuvante no tratamento da Bronquiolite Viral Aguda, assim como evidências de malefícios da utilização das técnicas ou se na literatura apenas verifica-se o não malefício das técnicas. Foram realizadas pesquisas de artigos nas bases de dados eletrônicas, nacionais e internacionais, PEDro, PubMed e SciELO. Os artigos deveriam atender aos critérios de inclusão e, posteriormente, analisados por três autores e selecionados de acordo com o seu tema, resumo e com base na leitura de cada artigo, de forma progressiva. Notou-se que as técnicas de fisioterapia respiratória podem não ter um benefício esclarecido, mas demonstram-se seguras para serem aplicadas, sendo que os recursos são mais indicados para casos de leves a moderados.

A INFLUÊNCIA DOS ANTIOXIDANTES NA INFERTILIDADE MASCULINA
Authors: Carvalho Thiers Calazans Ana Paula , Michelotto Flavia , Valente de Souza Giovanna
Published: May 2023

Cerca de 30 milhões de homens são inférteis em todo o mundo, sendo que este número está aumentando cada vez mais ao passar dos anos. Isso mostra a importância de verificar quais os antioxidantes que possuem maiores evidências para a melhora dos parâmetros do sêmen (morfologia, motilidade e concentração), buscando trazer resultados positivos na fertilidade masculina. Analisou-se 44 artigos que relacionam os antioxidantes (zinco associado ao folato, ômega 3, vitamina B12, vitamina C, CoQ10, vitamina E e selênio) com a infertilidade masculina. Os estudos mostraram que a maioria dos antioxidantes, quando suplementados em pacientes com baixos níveis plasmáticos, podem apresentar efeitos benéficos para os homens com infertilidade idiopática. Entretanto, também se obtiveram resultados heterogêneos em relação a alguns antioxidantes, sendo necessário o desenvolvimento de estudos mais específicos no futuro. Ao final do estudo concluiu-se que, se preservada a individualidade das necessidades nutricionais de cada homem, é possível que exista um resultado vantajoso e que auxilie no tratamento da infertilidade masculina.

Understanding Opportunity Evaluation Prototypes in Search of more Entrepreneurs
Authors: Pretorius Marius , Le Roux Ingrid , Millard Sollie
Published: May 2023

Background: In search of more entrepreneurs for economic development, academics and policy makers are continuously seeking ways in which the participation of potential entrepreneurs in the economy can be enhanced.
Purpose: This study investigates whether entrepreneurial prototype factors could be identified to inform how entrepreneurs evaluate opportunities.
Design/Methodology: In an experimental design, participants were requested to evaluate a single start-up opportunity. They completed a questionnaire exploring their thinking of the single case. Participants included 193 nascent and novice entrepreneurs that evaluated the same opportunity. The questionnaire was administered, leading to factor and regression analyses.
Findings: The factor analysis identified four prototype factors for potential use in selection. Discrimination was possible between the prototype factors (cognitive frameworks) of novice (first-time) and repeat (experienced) entrepreneurs for “positive financial model”; “uniqueness of the idea”; “big markets”; and “intuition.” Significant differences for the identified factors were reported between those who decided for and against starting the venture. Regression analysis suggested further discriminatory value, with the prototype factors for the start-up decision contributing to a potential selection process by venture capitalists, as well as educators.
Research limitations: The generalisability of the findings may be limited by the use of a single case evaluation.
Originality/value: Firstly, support was found for the effectiveness of the methodology in identifying the prototypes. Secondly, the study contributes by informing educators of entrepreneurs about the relevancy of cognitive frameworks that could be developed to meaningfully enhance opportunity evaluation.

Objectives:

Natural bioactive compounds protect against oxidative stress-induced diseases. Studies have demonstrated antioxidant properties of Allanblackia gabonensis (member of Clusiaceae family), which is used for liver diseases. This work was designed to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of A. gabonensis aqueous trunk bark extract against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced chronic liver injury.

Materials and Methods:

Rats were divided into six groups of five rats each. Rats of control and CCl4 groups received distilled water orally from week 1 to week 12. A. gabonensis aqueous extract was given orally to preventive (PREV) test group (200 mg/kg) from week 1 to week 12. SIM group and two curative groups received silymarin 25 mg/kg and extract (100 or 200 mg/kg) from week 8 to week 12. CCl4 was injected hypodermically to induce chronic liver injury to all groups except control, 2 h after treatment, from week 1 to week 12. All rats were often weighed and were sacrificed 12 weeks later under anesthesia and blood was collected in ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid tubes and plain tubes for hematological profiling and serum preparation, respectively. Liver and kidney functions were assessed by measuring alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) serum activities, serum creatinine, total bilirubin, and total protein levels. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were assessed. Histology of the liver and kidney was done.

Results:

Administration of CCl4 to rats resulted in significant (P < 0.05) impairment of the animals’ weight growth. ALT activity, creatinine, total bilirubin, and MDA levels were significantly increased. Total proteins, GSH levels, SOD, and catalase activities were decreased in the CCl4 group compared to control. PREV or curative administration of A. gabonensis extract (100 or 200 mg/kg) significantly reduced liver injury by preventing significant elevation of ALT activity, creatinine, and total bilirubin levels and exhibited significant reduction in the levels of MDA, compared to the CCl4-group. These effects of A. gabonensis extract were evident by a marked improvement of the liver and kidney histological architectures.

Conclusion:

The results revealed antioxidant and anti-inflammatory hepatoprotective effects of the aqueous extract of A. gabonensis and constituted a scientific basis for further research on this plant.

Published: May 2023

Aortic origin of the pulmonary artery (AOPA) is an infrequent congenital malformation. It is less frequently documented with an estimated prevalence of ~1%. Aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery is more common than the left. Frequent episodes of the lower respiratory tract infection and pulmonary arterial hypertension are common complications if left untreated. Despite causing significant, morbidity diagnosis is delayed if AOPA is associated with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Our aim is to document a case of AOPA with PDA to explain the pathology, clinical implications, consequences, management options, and relevant literature review.

Published: May 2023

Precancerous lesions, benign and malignant tumors, are the major causes for defects in the oral and maxillofacial region; hence, reconstruction of these defects emphasizes restoring the patient’s, form, function, and cosmetic appearance, thereby improving the quality of life. In our technique, we have used a modified technique by raising a superiorly based platysma myocutaneous flap through a single incision, rather than giving two incisions and we have increased the length of the pedicle for the reconstruction of patients with oral submucous fibrosis.
Evaluation of correlation between emotional intelligence and academic performance in dental students
Authors: Deshpande Spruha Sanjay , Tekale Rahul
Published: May 2023

Objectives:

Emotional intelligence (EI) serves as a guide to people for recognizing their as well as other persons feelings and make appropriate choices by applying this knowledge. It is also responsible for building stronger relationships, succeeding at work, and achieving personal and professional goals. The aim of the study was to find out correlation between EI and academic performance (AP) in dental students of VSPM Dental College and Research Centre. (VSPM DCRC).

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional and observational study was conducted among the students of VSPM DCRC over a period of 6 months. Study participants were interns who had completed 4 years of study, final year students, 3rd-year students, and 2nd-year students of VSPM DCRC.

Results:

A total of 130 students participated in this study. Out of total 130 participants, 104 were females and 26 were males, there is a positive correlation between AP and EI. Since P < 0.05 so the correlation is significant. Furthermore, the value of correlation coefficient (r) is 0.029, thus there is 2% of correlation between EI and AP.

Conclusion:

A positive correlation was observed between EI and AP in students. However, as the EI of majority of students in this study was high, the value of correlation was small.

Published: May 2023

Background:

Neutrophil-lymphocyte-ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte-ratio (PLR) have emerged as potential biomarkers in predicting the outcomes of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Since a study was never conducted on the Southeast Asian and Indonesian population, we designed the present study to evaluate the potential of NLR and PLR in predicting cerebral infarction and functional outcomes and find the optimal cutoff value.

Methods:

We retrospectively reviewed patients admitted for aSAH in our hospital between 2017 and 2021. The diagnosis was made using a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging and CT angiography. Association between admission NLR and PLR and the outcomes were analyzed using a multivariable regression model. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was done to identify the optimal cutoff value. A propensity score matching (PSM) was then carried out to reduce the imbalance between the two groups before comparison.

Results:

Sixty-three patients were included in the study. NLR was independently associated with cerebral infarction (odds ratio, OR 1.197 [95% confidence interval, CI 1.027–1.395] per 1-point increment;P= 0.021) and poor discharge functional outcome (OR 1.175 [95% CI 1.036–1.334] per 1-point increment;P= 0.012). PLR did not significantly correlate with the outcomes. ROC analysis identified 7.09 as the cutoff for cerebral infarction and 7.50 for discharge functional outcome. Dichotomizing and performing PSM revealed that patients with NLR above the identified cutoff value significantly had more cerebral infarction and poor discharge functional outcome.

Conclusion:

NLR demonstrated a good prognostic capability in Indonesian aSAH patients. More studies should be conducted to find the optimal cutoff value for each population.

Published: May 2023

Background:

Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) or dysplastic gangliocytoma of the posterior fossa is a slow-growing and extremely rare mass lesion that involves the Purkinje neurons and the granular layer of the cerebellum. It is characterized by specific neuroradiological features and secondary hydrocephalus. However, documentation of surgical experience is scarce.

Case Description:

A 54-year-old man with LDD manifesting as progressive headache is presented with vertigo and cerebellar ataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a right cerebellar mass lesion with the characteristic “tiger-striped appearance.” We decided to perform partial resection with reduction of tumor volume improving symptomatology as a result of the mass effect in the posterior fossa.

Conclusion:

Surgical resection is a good alternative for the management of LDD, especially when neurological compromise exists due to mass effect.

Published: May 2023

Predicting molecular activity and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) is important for drug discovery and optimization. With molecular structures as frames, graph neural networks (GNNs) are suited for activity prediction but tend to overlook activity-cliffs (ACs) where structurally-similar molecules have vastly different activity values. To address this, we introduced a new online triplet contrastive learning framework ACANet that incorporates a unique activity-cliff-awareness (ACA) loss function, enabling efficient AC-awareness during training. The ACA loss enhances metric learning in the latent space and task learning in the target space simultaneously to make networks aware of ACs. ACANet outperformed the state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning models in activity prediction and AC awareness on 39 benchmark datasets. ACA loss function is superior in AC-awareness than the mean absolute error and mean squared error loss functions. This innovative approach opens new avenues and provides valuable tools for applications in drug discovery and chemical engineering.
