Una democracia sagrada
Authors: Løland Ole Jakob
Published: November 2024

El discurso de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, presidente de Brasil desde 2023, contiene una visión religiosa de lo político. Esta visión se puede considerarse una teología política mínima, una teología poco elaborada y definida que sirve para articular una posición vagamente cristiana de lo político. Este artículo cuestiona las formas de religión política que expresaron los discursos que Lula pronunció tras la elección democrática que lo llevó a la victoria en la última campaña electoral en Brasil y después de su toma de posesión. El texto concluye que el discurso de Lula es expresión de una religión civil -o de una especie de profesión de fe civil- que legitima la democracia, la laicidad y la libertad de cultos. Esta posición de Lula es tanto un producto de la nueva politización de la religión en el Brasil contemporáneo como una contribución a ella.
Whose invisible hand? The capture of God’s providential hand in capitalism
Authors: De Melo Novais Tiago
Published: November 2024

In this article, I explore the metaphor of the invisible hand of the market as a secularized form of the providential hand of God. I first explain the metaphor of the hand of God, which refers to God’s providential action found in the Old and New Testaments and serves as a symbol for how the world functioned in pre-modern times. I then show how the advent of modernity replaces the need for the hand of God with the new ideal of scientific progress, where human beings become the central agents of their future. Finally, I propose that already in modernity there is an appropriation of the hand of God within the capitalist logic, through Adam Smith and the invisible hand, but that moving forward to contemporaneity, the invisible hand is transformed into a secularized theology of providence based on Friedrich Hayek’s concept of the spontaneous order of the market.

Exploring the effects of stabilized hypochlorous acid on multi-species oral biofilms
Authors:   , Oliva Aherne
Published: November 2024

Periodontitis and dental caries are two of the most prevalent human diseases, affecting nearly 2 billion worldwide. Persistence is largely attributed to the formation of biofilms (plaque) by oral bacteria, which left undisturbed lead to destruction of surrounding tissues and increase the risk for secondary disease. As current treatments such as mechanical removal and adjunctive therapies can be inadequate, there is a need for new anti-plaque chemical agents. Stabilized hypochlorous acid (sHOCl) has emerged as a potential anti-biofilm agent in areas such as wound therapy but its use in treating oral diseases remains unknown. Therefore, our aim in this thesis was to assess the role of sHOCl as an antimicrobial agent for use in the oral cavity.

We found that at low concentrations, sHOCl was effective in killing bacteria within mixed-species in vitro models resembling periodontitis and dental caries. Moreover,  sHOCl  displayed  higher  antibiofilm  activity  compared  to chlorhexidine, whilst not damaging tested oral surfaces. At sub-lethal levels, sHOCl was observed to target multiple cellular components through oxidative stress in Streptococcus biofilms. Simultaneously, work on our models revealed a possible new application of CFSE-based dyes in microscopy for the live-imaging of biofilms. In particular, multi-dye compatibility opens up the possibilities for future research employing mixed-species biofilms. Finally, our preliminary findings also indicate that sHOCl may permit a selective re-growth of biofilms following exposure.

Taken together, the results of this thesis lay the groundwork for investigations of sHOCl as an antibiofilm agent, and continue to push microbial research towardsmore relevant models.

Published: November 2024

Kandungan kadar air rumput laut pada saat proses pengeringan merupakan salah satu faktor penentu mutu rumput laut. Oleh karena itu, pengukuran persentase kadar air pada rumput laut pada proses pengeringan sangat penting untuk diperhatikan. Telah berhasil dibuat dan dikarakterisasi sensor kapasitif multilayer untuk aplikasi deteksi kadar air pada proses pengeringan rumput laut menggunakan algoritma Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Sensor dibuat dari substrat PCB Cu berbentuk pola potensial tangga dengan dimensi 5 x 5 cm. Substrat PCB kemudian dilapisi dengan beberapa layer atau lapisan pembentuk NiFe dan pembentuk Cu menggunakan teknik elektro deposisi. Metode penelitian terdiri dari pembuatan sensor, kalibrasi sensor dengan menggunakan metode gravimetri, dan melakukan dua skema pengukuran yaitu pengukuran perubahan nilai ADC sensor sebagai representasi nilai kadar air rumput laut dan pengukuran perubahan nilai frekuensi sensor sebagai representasi nilai kadar air menggunakan FFT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik sensor berupa gradien garis sensor sebesar 18,866 nilai ADC/(%) kadar air dengan intercept sebesar 68,248 nilai ADC. Sehingga sensor akan mengalami penurunan perubahan nilai ADC sebesar 18,866 setiap kenaikan ataupun penurunan 1% kadar air. Untuk nilai koefisien determinasi R2 sebesar 0,91618 yang menunjukkan bahwa sensor telah mendekati pembacaan nilai kadar air dengan kepresisian yang baik. Berdasarkan hasil pengukuran nilai kadar air rumput laut juga memperlihatkan bahwa dengan menggunakan algoritma FFT pembacaan nilai kadar air rumput laut dapat direpresentasikan dengan nilai frekuensi dari sensor dengan baik. Penelitian ini berkontribusi pada pengembangan teknologi sensor yang inovatif dalam mengukur kadar air selama proses pengeringan rumput laut.

Published: November 2024

Kanker payudara memiliki angka kejadian tinggi di Indonesia, maka diperlukan pengobatan  untuk meningkatkan kelangsungan hidup pasien. Salah satu metode pengobatan yang digunakan adalah radioterapi dengan teknik Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), yang bertujuan untuk memberikan dosis radiasi yang optimal pada tumor dan meminimalkan paparan radiasi pada organ sehat, seperti jantung. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis distribusi dosis pada organ at risk (OAR) jantung serta mengevaluasi kesesuaian nilai Homogeneity Index (HI) dan Conformity Index (CI) pada pasien kanker payudara pasca mastektomi yang menjalani radioterapi teknik IMRT. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan data 10 pasien post-mastektomi di Rumah Sakit TK II Pelamonia. Data dikumpulkan melalui analisis Dose Volume Histogram (DVH), yang mencakup dosis radiasi pada 98%, 50%, dan 2% dari volume target. Selain itu, dianalisis pula volume yang terpapar isodosis 95% serta persentase volume jantung yang menerima dosis 25 Gy. Data tersebut digunakan untuk menghitung nilai HI, CI, serta total dosis yang diterima oleh jantung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai HI berkisar antara 0,14-0,45, yang menunjukkan variasi tingkat keseragaman dosis. Sebagian besar pasien memiliki nilai CI di atas 0,9 dengan rentang 0,87-0,96, yang menandakan kesesuaian dosis yang baik dengan target volume tumor. Dosis jantung yang diterima oleh semua pasien berada di bawah batas toleransi yang ditetapkan oleh QUANTEC (V25<10%). Teknik IMRT efektif dalam meminimalkan dosis radiasi ke jantung dan mampu memberikan distribusi dosis yang sesuai dengan standar ICRU, dengan nilai HI dan CI yang mendekati optimal. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa IMRT merupakan metode yang efektif dalam terapi kanker payudara post mastektomi.

Published: November 2024

Pemanfaatan bahan bakar fosil sebagai sumber utama energi terus mengalami peningkatan, namun ketersediaannya di alam cukup terbatas. Akibatnya, perlu ada upaya untuk mengurangi kebergantungan pada bahan bakar fosil, misalnya dengan menggunakan bahan bakar alternatif seperti briket. Pada penelitian ini, dilakukan pembuatan briket dari limbah daun matoa menggunakan dua jenis perekat alami, tepung terigu dan tepung tapioka. Komposisi bahan baku terhadap perekat divariasikan dengan perbandingan 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, 80:20, dan 90:10 untuk mengetahui kualitas briket dan pengaruhnya pada nilai kalor. Pabrikasi briket dilakukan dalam beberapa tahapan yaitu karbonisasi menggunakan oven, penghalusan dan pengayakan, pembuatan perekat, pencampuran bahan baku dengan perekat organik, pencetakan briket berbentuk balok berdimensi 3,4×3,4×3,2 cm3, dan pengeringan.  Pengujian briket dilakukan dengan mengikuti Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) No. 01-6235-2000. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa pengaruh jenis perekat organik, yaitu terigu dan tapioka, pada kualitas briket tidak terlihat secara signifikan. Namun, variasi komposisi bahan baku dan perekat menunjukkan adanya perbedaan pada kualitas briket. Variasi komposisi bahan baku terbaik pada eksperimen yaitu 80:20 (daun matoa:perekat organik) baik untuk perekat terigu maupun tapioka. Hasil pengujian briket untuk 80:20 (daun matoa:terigu) memiliki kadar air sebesar 6,03%, densitas  0,56 g/cm3, nilai kalor 4083,35 kal/g, laju pembakaran 0,16 g/min, kadar abu sebesar 5,60%, dan  bagian yang hilang pada pemanasan 950°C sebesar 63,30%. Sedangkan, hasil pengujian briket 80:20 (daun matoa:tapioka) menghasilkan kadar air 5,23%, densitas 0,47 g/cm3, nilai kalor 4088,48 kal/g, laju pembakaran 0,15 g/min, kadar abu 6%, dan bagian yang hilang pada pemanasan 950 °C adalah 70,30%.

ABSTRACT 
 
Introduction: Traveler’s diarrhea is the common term used for diarrheas experienced by tourists during the trip or after they return to their respective hometowns. There are several factors of this disease, for instance, food and beverage hygiene, also differences in the normal flora.   
Discussion: Most cases found are caused by foods and beverages contaminated by faeces with Eschericia coli. The disease itself is self-limiting, however, its clinical manifestation may cause inconvenience during the trip and interfere their vacation plans or other activities. Therefore, the knowledge of traveler’s diarrhea, which is mainly caused by Escherichia coli, is needed. The results showed that Escherichia coli is a rod-shaped, facultative anaerobe and gram-negative bacteria, which is the leading cause of traveler’s diarrhea. Its main clinical manifestation is diarrhea and may be accompanied by other symptoms, such as nausea, fever, abdominal cramps, vomiting and bleeding. Escherichia coli has a number of subtypes that cause a variety of symptoms. Out of the high incidence rate of traveler’s diarrhea caused by Escherichia coli, the subtype Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) makes up 15% of the whole percentage. Watery diarrhea with no blood or fever became its classic manifestation. ETEC has 2 peptide groups, which are heat-stable toxin (ST) dan heat-labile toxin (LT) that interfere with water absorption inside the intestine, leading to diarrhea.   
Conclusion: The main cause of traveler’s diarrhea is ETEC, whereas mild to heavy watery diarrhea is its common symptom. This review may be used as the foundation for further research and preventive actions.

Introduction: Acne vulgaris is a disorder of the pilosebaceous unit that has a high prevalence in the general population, especially in adolescents. In some cases, Acne vulgaris can form scar tissue which has the potential to cause a decrease in quality of life to psychological disorders. The use of antibiotics as a therapy for Acne Vulgaris is currently not completely satisfactory and safe because it can cause resistance, especially to Staphylococcus Aureus. Therefore, the use of herbal medicine can be a promising solution
Discussion: Ulva lactuca L is one of the natural ingredients that can be used in the treatment of Acne Vulgaris because it has bioactive ingredients that act as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The antibacterial activity produced by the combination of Ulva lactuca L. metabolites reaches a concentration of 750 ppm and the activity of inhibiting the growth of S. aureus bacteria has a strong to very strong grade. The largest diameter of the inhibition zone was obtained at a concentration of 100% which was 22 ± 0.577 mm. As an anti-inflammatory, the content of flavonoids and carotenoids in Ulva lactuca L. can prevent the synthesis of pro-inflammatory mediators and neutralize free radicals. In addition, the IC50 result from testing using the DPPH method of Ulva Lactuca L. was 60.975 ppm which indicated that its antioxidant activity was relatively strong. The active ingredient Ulva Lactuca L. which is appropriate for treating Acne vulgaris is a gel with 3% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HMPC) gelling agent.
Conclusion: Extraction of Ulva lactuca L. in gel preparations has excellent potential as a therapy for Acne Vulgaris due to the content of saponins, flavonoids and triterpenoids, alkaloids, tocopherols, melatonin, tannins and carotenoid compounds in the form of astaxanthin, ?-carotene, fucoxanthin and lutein which are contained therein.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Working memory is one of the three components of executive function which has four components, namely central executive, phonological loop, visuospatial sketchpad, and episodic buffer. Many studies examining working memory in musicians and non-musicians have found that working memory performance in musicians outperforms non-musicians.
Discussion: Working memory has three components which each have a role in the activities carried out by the individual. Apart from that, working memory is also sensitive to various factors, one of which is musical training. Music training is considered to influence working memory and can have a positive impact on working memory abilities. The influence of musical training then results in differences in the performance of working memory in musicians when compared to non-musicians.
Conclusion: Working memory advantages have not been consistently found in every study comparing musicians and non-musicians. However, in general, the research results show that musicians have superior working memory performance compared to non-musicians. This can be caused by musical training factors and the diversity of musicians' excellence can be caused by differences in musical training.

Published: November 2024

Pendahuluan:
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) merupakan penyakit paru kronis yang termasuk dalam kategori penyakit paru interstisial fibrosa kronis dengan penyebab yang tidak diketahui. Insiden ini meningkat seiring bertambahnya usia dan sering ditemukan pada laki-laki.  Beberapa pengobatan yang ada saat ini, dapat mencegah terjadinya fibrosis namun belum dapat sepenuhnya menyembuhkan IPF. Oleh sebab itu, diperlukan kebutuhan untuk mengeksplorasi potensi bahan alami yang mudah didapat sebagai alternatif terapi. Salah satu bahan yang dimaksud adalah kurkumin yang terkandung dalam kunyit. Kurkumin yang terenkapsulasi eksosom akan meningkatkan efektivitas kurkimin sebagai pebobatan untuk IPF.
Pembahasan:
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) terjadi apabila terdapat akumulasi jaringan parut yang ireversibel yang berkaitan dengan faktor genetik, epigenetik, dan lingkungan sehingga menyebabkan kerusakan sel epitel dan memicu aktivasi abnormal sel epitel. Sel epitel yang teraktivasi secara abnormal mengeluarkan TGF-?1 yang merupakan sitokin utama dalam fibrosis. Kurkumin bekerja dengan mengurangi ekspresi TGF-? yang mengatur deposisi matriks ekstraseluler, termasuk kolagen, dalam jaringan fibrotik, serta memblokir pelepasan TNF-?, Hydroxyproline (HYP), dan PDGF. Kurkumin yang terenkapsulasi eksosom akan dicerna lebih lambat serta meningkatkan stabilitas kurkumin di aliran darah. Selain itu, eksosom memiliki potensi untuk dikirim sebagai aerosol yang memiliki kemiripan dengan surfaktan paru-paru dan dapat diserap melalui lendir pernapasan.
Simpulan:
Pemanfaatan kurkumin melalui formulasi nano berbasis eksosom diharapkan dapat meningkatkan prognosis pada pasien IPF.

Authors: Djuanda Louis Felix , Adiwati Erica Luis , Putri Putu Khrisna Arsawardani
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
 
Introduction: Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most common congenital disorder found throughout the world, including Indonesia. Currently, the main treatment for CHD patients is open cardiothoracic surgery. However, its implementation in Indonesia still has some obstacles due to several things which cause the life expectancy of CHD patients in Indonesia is estimated to be not as good as the life expectancy of CHD patients in developed countries. Apart from being related to life expectancy, CHD patients will also experience a decrease in their quality of life, especially those who are not treated properly. The cardiac rehabilitation program is one of the programs to overcome this.
Discussion: Cardiac rehabilitation program is able to improve physical and psychosocial quality and ensure that CHD patients' cognitive and socioemotional development is maintained. Cardiac rehabilitation includes physical exercise, psychosocial management, education, risk factor modification, and nutritional management. Several studies have shown that cardiac rehabilitation has many benefits and is safe for CHD patients. In its implementation, cardiac rehabilitation faces several challenges, especially in center-based cardiac rehabilitation (CBCR), so it is recommended to increase home-based cardiac rehabilitation (HBCR) while ensuring that information regarding HBCR is delivered completely and well received by the patients.
Conclusion: Based on this literature review, the authors suggest an increase in the implementation of cardiac rehabilitation for CHD patients throughout Indonesia, especially HBCR which can be carried out independently or in the community to improve the patient’s quality of life in the long term.

tiempo intensifica el sufrimiento: la percepción temporal en el cumplimiento de la pena en el sistema penitenciario brasileño
Authors: Marcolla Fernanda Analú , Melo Gomes Marcus Alan , Dezordi Wermuth Maiquel Ângelo
Published: November 2024

A lo largo del tiempo, la humanidad mide su existencia terrenal, compuesta por etapas como nacer, crecer, desarrollarse, reproducirse y morir. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la percepción temporal de individuos encarcelados, desde la perspectiva de la intensificación del sufrimiento. La investigación tiene un enfoque metodológico hipotético-deductivo, partiendo de premisas que se materializan como respuestas posibles y utiliza técnicas bibliográficas y documentales con procedimiento monográfico. El problema que guía la investigación se puede sintetizar en la siguiente pregunta: ¿en qué aspectos el tiempo como pena puede intensificar el sufrimiento del individuo encarcelado? Como hipótesis inicial, se considera que, al ingresar en el sistema penitenciario, el individuo tiene una pena contabilizada en “tiempo”, es decir, años, meses y días de cumplimiento de su sentencia en aislamiento social. En este ambiente hostil, la ausencia de contacto externo intensifica todas las sensaciones temporales. Así, la prisión mortifica la identidad personal del individuo, condicionándolo a no tener más su “tiempo” de vida disponible, un factor que impide que experimente los ciclos básicos del desarrollo humano fuera de los muros. El estudio demuestra que la pena no solo afecta al cuerpo del individuo, sino también el tiempo y la percepción de vida causada por los sufrimientos experimentados.

Se propone una relectura crítico-interpretativa del caso “Pueblo Indígena Xucuru y sus Miembros vs. República Federativa de Brasil”, decidido por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, en 2018. Para ello, se presentan aspectos generales del juicio, contrastándolo con otras decisiones previamente dictadas por la Corte, insertas en el mismo contexto de la lucha por las tierras ancestrales de los pueblos originarios latinoamericanos. Los casos observados en el análisis de la jurisprudencia de la Corte deben entenderse a partir de las consideraciones teóricas que presenta el concepto de dimensión intertemporal” del derecho a las tierras ancestrales, concebido por los jueces Abreu Burelli, Cançado Trindade y Pacheco Gómez; por el “universalismo confluyente”, de Joaquín Herrera Flores; y por la “ética del discurso”, de Jürgen Habermas. A través de un análisis cualitativo-comparativo de las sentencias dictadas por la Corte, se busca fortalecer el argumento de que el derecho de los pueblos indígenas a sus tierras ancestrales representa una garantía para su cultura y los procesos formativos de su educación.

Published: November 2024

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition frequently associated with complications and comorbidities that often require hospitalization for effective management. Such patients are often prescribed multiple medications, which elevate the risk of potential drug-drug interactions (pDDIs). Hence, this study aims to determine the prevalence, severity, common interacting pairs, and factors associated with pDDIs among hospitalized diabetes patients. The study used a retrospective cross-sectional study design conducted at Universitas Indonesia Hospital. LexicompÂ® Lexi-InteractTM software was used to analyze and classify possible drug interactions. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify different factors associated with potential DDIs. Of the 200 patients, 89.0% were observed to have pDDIs. A total of 966 interactions were found, of which 75.6% were moderate, 16.2% were minor, and 8.1% were of major severity. Meanwhile, in the risk rating C category, 71.0% were predominant, followed by B and D, 15.0% and 11.0%, respectively. Multivariate regression analysis showed a statistically significant association of pDDIs with 5â€“8 prescribed medicines (OR=22.8; 95% CI=5.5-94.7; p<0.001), >8 prescribed medicines (OR=64.4; 95% CI=11.3-336.5; p<0.001). The findings of this study revealed that pDDIs are highly prevalent in adult inpatients with diabetes. This emphasizes the critical need for appropriate monitoring and management strategies to reduce pDDIs and their adverse consequences.
El cuerpo transfigurado en imagen. Convergencias creativas y epistemológicas entre Danza y Artes Visuales
Authors: Vite Edgar
Published: November 2024

¿Cómo aprender de un saber o práctica transdisciplinar que está en constante experimentación y construcción, donde sus bordes se difuminan constantemente? Este libro aborda la hibridación de la danza y las artes visuales, a partir de un profundo análisis de la complejidad epistemológica y la transdisciplinariedad de los procesos creativos en el contexto contemporáneo. Estas preguntas e inquietudes llevan a Edgar Vite a defender una mirada transversal, intersticial y compleja de la creación artística, tanto en su producción y reflexión, como en los procesos pedagógicos y educativos que conlleva.

El paradigma epistemológico, originado por esta hibridación, lleva al autor a plantear la necesidad de un giro educativo en las artes, basado en la interpretación de los artistas y los educadores, como mediadores, entre diversos agentes e instituciones, pero sobre todo como puentes de unión entre campos disciplinares, alentando intercambios y conexiones imaginativas. En definitiva, este libro es una obra lúcida que examina el rol de la interdisciplinariedad y la complejidad epistemológica en las artes, abriendo nuevas vertientes investigativas y nutriendo las discusiones sobre las posibilidades creativas de nuestro tiempo.

ESG Risk and Audit Firm Reputation
Authors: Wang Ya-Fang , Chao Ching-Chih
Published: November 2024

Purpose: The importance of ESG continues to grow day by day, and ESG risk management has become crucial for corporate sustainability. Understanding ESG risk management is an urgent and crucial issue that cannot be delayed any longer. This study aims to examine the relationship between ESG risk management and audit firms’ reputation.
Design/methodology/approach: This study investigates the correlation between the reputational effect of audit firms and ESG risk management, using companies listed on the TWSE and the TPEx in 2023 as the target population. We further develop two research models: first, a regression model (1) to examine whether the brand reputation effects of Big4 and non-Big4 audit firms are associated with corporate ESG risk management scores and set up an Ordered Probit model (2) to investigate how the reputation effect of Big4 and non-Big4 audit firms is related to corporate ESG risk ratings. Finding: The empirical results show that companies audited by the Big 4 audit firms have better ESG risk management performance than those audited by non-Big 4 audit firms, and that companies’ ESG risk management performance varies depending on the specific Big 4 audit firm engaged. Furthermore, the association between ESG risk management performance and the reputation effect of audit firms depends on the firm’s business model and corporate governance structure. The family-owned business model and strong corporate governance environment synergistically enhance the reputation effect of audit firms, thereby contributing to the improvement of ESG risk management performance. Finally, the choice of earnings management strategy affects the relationship between ESG risk management performance and the reputation effect of audit firms. Risk-averse companies that adopt conservative earnings management strategies benefit from the positive impact of the Big 4 audit firm reputation effect on ESG risk management performance. Research limitations/implications: The research limitations of this study stem from the difficulty in accessing ESG information, which constrains the sample size. Originality/value: First, this study provides a comprehensive examination of the ESG risk management performance of listed companies in Taiwan, contributing to a deeper understanding of the current status of ESG strategy development and implementation among Taiwanese companies. Second, by examining corporate ESG risk management, the study explores the impact of audit firms’ reputation on corporate ESG risk management performance. Third, our findings contribute to academic research on ESG issues by incorporating the potential impact of audit firms’ reputation into the analysis.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: Work-life balance has emerged as a critical factor influencing employee retention in modern organizations. A growing body of research demonstrates the profound impact that a successful balance between work responsibilities and personal life has on employee well-being, job satisfaction, and ultimately organizational commitment. The aim of this research is to examine the specific effects of work-life balance facilitation on employee retention to provide actionable insights and evidence-based recommendations to organizations seeking to enhance their retention strategies. Design/methodology/approach: A case study methodology was used in this research. Primary data was collected through an online survey. The data was quantitatively analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to determine the relationships between the independent variables (work-life balance initiatives) and dependent variable (employee retention). Findings: The study revealed a high retention rate with many employees remaining loyal to the company for over 30 years. The retention was closely linked to the company’s comprehensive work-life balance initiatives, including financial aid through savings and loan cooperatives, subsidized health insurance, and educational support. These programs correlated with higher levels of employee satisfaction and engagement. Employees who actively utilized these offerings reported lower stress level, less work pressure and improved overall well-being. Research limitations/implications: This study focused on data from respondents in an Indonesian company. Further research in different international locations is needed to generalize these findings globally. The results suggests that companies, particularly in Indonesia, that prioritize work-family balance are better able to improve employee retention. This approach can decrease company turnover through lower recruitment costs and higher productivity. Originality/value: This study advances the understanding of employee retention by examining three specific factors in a developing economy context: financial support through savings and loan cooperatives, subsidized health insurance, and educational support. The findings contribute to existing theory by highlighting the relative impact of these targeted interventions on employee retention.
Inflation Threshold and Financial Sector Development in Uganda
Authors: Oyoo Akena Geoffrey , Mayanja John Bbale , Is’haq Amandu Yassin
Published: November 2024

Purpose: This paper empirically analyzes the inflation threshold for better financial sector development (FSD) in Uganda using the yearly trend data spanning over the period 1980 to 2020. The basic idea of the study was to affirm whether the 5-percent bank of Uganda (BOU) inflations rates target is correct. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis incorporates the Autoregressive Distributing Lags (ARDL) model. This is due to the fact that the variables of the study were not all stationary at the same levels but archived strong stationarity after differencing once. To capture the inflation threshold estimation, the Ordinary Least Square model was run with lag value of the dependence variable. Findings: The research indicates that the critical inflation threshold is 6 percent. Below 6 percent
inflation, there is a positive and decreasing impact but a statistically insignificant connection between inflation and FSD. Beyond 6 percent, the relationship becomes negative and the intensity increases exponentially as the inflation rate increases. Specifically, the study estimates that at a 5% inflation rate, the FSD has the potential to grow by about 1.3 % and should the inflation rate increase from the optimal of 6% to 7%, it drops by the same magnitude. Research limitations/implications: Data Limitation. The time span of 1980-2020, is because of no data for some variables beyond the chosen time frame. Even if some data were available, some are inconsistence and varies within the available data base set. Originality/value: The study augment to the development of FSD in Uganda by furnishing the Monetary Authority with evidence that help fix the optimal inflation threshold in the country. Similarly, this research will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on how best to manage the inflation rate in the country.
ЕКОСИСТЕМИ МИСІВ ПІВНІЧНО-ЗАХІДНОЇ ЧАСТИНИ ЧОРНОГО МОРЯ – ПРИРОДНІ РЕЗЕРВАТИ МОРСЬКИХ ПРИБЕРЕЖНИХ РИБ

Published: November 2024

The research paper examines the role of capes in the conservation of coastal ichthyofauna in the northwestern part of the Black Sea. The study spans from the Danube Delta to Cape Tarkhankut (Crimea). Particular attention was paid to the capes located near the megacity of Odessa – Velikyi and Malyi Fontan, Lanzheron and Odessa Pivnichnyi capes. The research incorporates archived data from the Institute of Marine Biology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, alongside literature sources and original field research conducted from May to October over the period 1981–2021.
Using a landscape-biotope approach, largely similar coastal ecosystems can be identified and grouped as follows: 1 – capes, 2 – sandy bays, 3 – sandy spits of estuaries, 4 – estuaries and lagoons, 5 – river mouths. Cape ecosystems stand out due to the accumulation of large fragments of stones that extend from the shore to depths of 8–10 meters, rising above the bottom and surrounded by soft sediments. The hard substates of the capes provide settlements for macrophyte algae, bivalves and multi-species biocenosis. Bottom and near bottom-pelagic fish also find favorable conditions for survival and reproduction in the cape ecosystems owing to active hydrodynamics, presence of hard substrates and food resources. In total, 120 fish species have been recorded in the capes ecosystems, of which 18 are semianadromous and river fish species, and 7 anadromous species. Eastern Atlantic-Mediterranean species and Ponto-Caspian relics composed the basis of the ichthyofauna. There are also two introduced species: the mullet Liza haematocheilus (Temminсk et Schlegel, 1845) and the common sunfish Lepomis gibbosus (Linnaeus, 1758). Among the fish recorded in the ecosystems of capes in the northwestern part of the Black Sea, 75 species are listed in various protected (red) domestic and international lists, including 48, 52, 42, and 41 species in the ecosystems of capes Burnas, Velikyi Fontan, Adzhiyask, and Tarkhankut, respectively. Owing to the abiotic conditions, the capes ecosystem of the northwestern part of the Black Sea become reserves for hydrobionts inhabiting neighboring ecosystems during storms, in cases of acute hypoxia following release of hydrogen sulfide in coastal shallow waters, and other negative phenomena. Although the capes in the southwestern part of the Black Sea form separate enclaves and occupy up to 10 % of the coastal zone areas of the seabed, they play an essential role in conservation of biota and require special protection.
Lossless Control-Convex Formulation for Solar-Sail Trajectory Optimization via Sequential Convex Programming
Authors: Oguri Kenshiro , Lantoine Gregory
Published: November 2024

Sequential convex programming (SCP) has been gaining popularity for space trajectory optimization. However, application of SCP for solar-sail trajectory optimization has suffered from the nonlinear coupling between the magnitude and direction of solar radiation pressure acceleration, which renders the optimal control problem highly nonconvex in the control variables. To address this issue, this paper proposes a formulation that transforms the solar-sail optimal control problem into a problem that is convex with respect to control (called control-convex). This convexification is achieved by introducing a slack variable and applying a change of variable. This paper mathematically shows the lossless property of the proposed control-convex formulation by using Pontryagin’s minimum principle, and develops an SCP-based trajectory optimization algorithm for solar sails. We then apply the developed trajectory optimization algorithm to two interplanetary-transfer scenarios, demonstrating its effectiveness in solving complex sail optimal control problems efficiently and robustly, with better optimality compared to a conventional formulation.
Evolution of Memory Writing in Samuel Beckett’s Stage Plays
Authors: Ding Liqun , Shen Fuying
Published: November 2024

This article investigates the evolution of memory writing in Samuel Beckett’s stage plays by examining several of his notable works from different periods. Memory serves as a pervasive theme in Beckett’s oeuvre. In his stage plays, memory is predominantly characterised by fragmentation, evolving from evasion to reconstruction and eventually to fabrication. Beckett’s early plays focus more on characters who are afraid of memories and try to evade them, though involuntary memories persistently intrude. Beginning with Krapp’s Last Tape, there is a shift towards a focus on voluntary memory, where characters engage in recollections, endeavouring to reconstruct the past while often exhibiting a tendency to forget. In his later plays, Beckett incorporates more technological elements, employing fictional, disembodied voices and spectral images to externalise memory, but the subject of memory becomes increasingly fragmented.
